Seldom are we more rejoiced in the perusal of the Edinbur g h R ev i ew t h an w h en it s con t r ibutors contrive t ° incorporate their abstract disquisitions and analytical criticisms with the moving circninstances of biography; w 04 ! :1 n, in esort, they embellish the expositions a great truth by personal reminiscences of a originator, and associate with their descrip °llB of a great mind the vicissitudes of a . great man. In the present number this feature is in troduced with very considerable adroitness, and occupies t he most. prominent position in the collection of articles. A vailing ~ himself of the recently published memoir of Leibnitz, by Dr. G. E. Guhraner, the Reviewer has ' h ereproduc e d a m ost fascinating melange of memo rabilia respecting that wonderful philosopher, ap propriately and engagingly inscribing his paper the r Life and Genius of Leibnitz" When it is re membered that this extraordinary character was, perhaps, the most fully entitled to the designation of an universal genius, that his writings are marvellously Z n ltiranious, that there is scarcely a single branch of h uman knowledge which has not derived from his intel h.et some elucidation or some adornment , that name is enrolled among the members of the qui Society, that his body was almost ns Incessantly in motion over the earth as his sentience was active in the realms of knowledge, and that the ac ientific and literary history of the generation in which he ,, flourished ma y be said to have radiated about him, there is surely no one individual but will acknowledge t hat he would prove a noble and not an unprofitable e t !hiect for investigation. Remarkable, however, as ; I _ l philosophic exertions were, profuse as they re, suggestive as they; were, his books are see areely ever perused, except by the bibliographer or the eccentric scholiast ; his intense, and in several in z terlocks his profound labours in the field of knowledge, a re epitomised into his mere name—a name which can, bo w L ever, never be forgotten. Leibnitz, by his astonish ing versatility as we ll as by his pertinacious industry, fa miliarised himself with nearly every sectional de- Partment of science and literature. As a metaphysician he at tained the less eminence, because of the phantas ms wnieh hi s i mag i nat i on un h a ppily amalgamated with truths ; and this c ircumstance is sufficiently evidenced b nis preposterous theory of " Monads," and that of hia " Pre-established Harmony"—than which perhaps no more visionary speculations were ever conceived. His e6c ience in physics may likewise be attributed to a similar tendency, anl one which our reviewer happily love of hypothesis, his fondness for the t:ro_ aur expresses to uey a a s b ' s ‘ t h ra is et,and his impatience to arrive at a In jurisprudence Leibnitz was, on the con inore than a proficient, he was an originator; his Z . *: a c ellence in this division of learning being testified by t a ,i, treatises Nova lliethodus and Ratio Corporis; besides the fact of Peter the Great having nominated him as one Of the council to compile his code of laws for the govern ment of the Russias—an intention which was unfor tunately frustrated. As a theologian Leibnitz rather Promised much than achieved much ; and of the strik ing originality of his religious views we may judge from t he circumstance that he flattered himself he had accomplished a metaphysical solution of the doctrine of Transubstantiation. In philology and anti q uities he was an innovator; in autobiography he has given a charming though somewhat egotistical accou nt of him self; in history he commenced an absolutely colossal description of Brunswick, dating the narrative back before the creation of man, interpolating various " collateral disquisitions upon heraldy, genea logy, and chronology, so that, as the reviewer naively insinuates, " the work would, doubtless, have' been published in successive volumes to this day, if Leibnitz and his patron had lived as long, a nd subscribers, or their heirs, would still have been able only to predict the appearance of the last volume 1" His acquaintance with the classics and witk polite literature was altogether Catholic, and he appreciated the various authors with an absolutely Catholic taste, maintaining that no single book that was ever written was entirely devoid of merit. Besides revelling in the abstruse stu °lea, Leibnitz still found sufficient opportunities to corn- Pose several pieces of verse, though as a poet he scarcely Soared above mediocrity. A creator, an originator, and ;in innovator himself in all departments of know ledge, he nevertheless retained a passion for reading not to l be exceeded by the most indolent student. An d in t gaps and pauses of his gigantic exertions , he con trived throughout his protracted and eventful career t o maintain a voluminous correspondency with almost Z e ll' individual amongst his contemporary p hiloso p hers. hat appears to have been the dra wback to this " t raordinary mind was its inexhaustible fecundity and sa gestiveness. No sooner was any of it s man y mar n4ig schemes undertaken than a thousa nd others g rew, Were, out of the original : insomuc h so, that the ac hievements of Leibnitz are little better than a multi- Ce of stupendous fragments — " his never com p leted iculati eg Machine—his fragment of an Universal ; Al 'Phabet--hie improved watches, which were never _ tructed—his Hydraulic and Pneumatic whicheng which l imed only in theory—his wilt Carriages, ex- Ca Only imagination,"—to which we may sub j oin history of Brunswick, already mention ed, with a 1412 a gs of other uncompleted projects and unful fill d e intentions. Nevertheless, it is most certain irat duri n g his erratic and multifarious exer tions he aehieved much that was advantageous Yllsenlarging the scope of human knowledge. PrOtO9Va contains, according to the present illus ,;11008 Dean of Westminster, Dr. Buckland, " the germ %We of the most enlightened speculations of modern f ie logy-:" his philological writings are fraught with divers important discoveries I and he incited after ages 1 0 perfect the medical, anatomical, and surgical sciences by a fund of sagacious hints. "It is in these prophetic glimpses of great truths," says the re - Viewer " in almost every department of science—truths Which it was left for after ages fully to evolve and esta blish—that this great man entitled himself to a place with a lmost all the very greatest minds—with Aristotle, with Bacon, and with Newton—in all of whom the same quality was remarkably exemplified. It is given to such minds alone to predict and foreshadow the coming dis pensations of philosophy ;—to catch from the mountain heights of their contemplations (if we may modify a thought which has occurred to more than one writer) the first radiance of the rising sun, when to the rest of this world's inhabitants he is still below the horizon." We could willingly, were not such irrelevant, dilate upon the whole career of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz, from his birth at Leipsic, on June 21, 1646, till his death, in his seventieth year, on November 14, 1716. The circumstances, however, which we have already enume rated, will amply attest the vastness of his brilliant but unconcentrated genius. Upon this particue lar the article in the Edinburgh Review speaks learn edly and eloquently ; it is at once a dispassionate and enthusiastic piece of critico-biography, and its most re- Inarkable sections are those devoted to the only come Vete literary work of Leibnitz, his Theodicee, to the theological opinions broached in that strange and en thrallig volume, to his pre-established harmony, and to the unhappy controversy which occurred between him self upon his Differential Calculus, and Newton upon his Pluxions. From the passages relating to the constitu tion of the Universe, we are tempted to extract one of exceeding beauty and thoughtfulness : it does honour to the heart and mind of the reviewer. "Though we certainly cannot demonstrate that this is the best of all possible worlds, and that it was necessary that some evil should be admitted, we are far enough from affirming that that faith to which, as we have said, the ap- Peal is sure to be ultimately relegated, is a faith entirely with out reason ; or that it is destitute of those grounds of proba bility upon which alone an intelligent reliance on the truths, Whether of natural or revealed theolo g y, can be maintained. And here the immensely prevailing character of benevolent design which pervades the universe, contrasted with the fact that evil always appears either simply concomitant, or in volved as a consequence, never as an ultimate end, and that an apparent evil is often found to be connected with real good, is of incalculable benefit as suggesting an approximate solution. And this confidence is yet further increased, when we see that in proportion as our knowledge advances, many of the ancient objections against the wisdom, and some against the goodness of the constitution of the universe disappear; — that they were in fact nothing more than the offspring of ignorance. We thus learn to believe that all would vanish in like manner if we were but omniscient. The course of reasoning is much the same as that by which we experi mentally establish the first law of motion ; it is but an ap proximate solution, yet conclusive : or we are led to suppose that the anomalies which we behold, are like those regres sions of the planets which so much perplexed the early astro nomms, and which arise from our seeing them from a false centre of observation. Place as in the true centre of the system, and, as science has now shown, all these irregularities disappear." Those are beautiful and elevating considerations, ex pressed in beautiful and elevated language. Without being invidious upon any other contributor to this Quarterly, we must in candour acknowledge that for a very considerable period past we have not encountered a paper so peculiarly to our own liking, so sagacious in analysis, so mellow in diction, or so symmetrical in con struction. It embellishes the pages that have been adorned by the lucubrations of Brougham, Jeffrey, Syd ney Smith, and Macaulay. A notice of " Glassford's Lyrical Translations" appears to us to be dic tated in too lenient and eulogistic a strain, it breathes of the pensiveness cf a friendship sanctified by death, rather than of the rigour of a frigid The " Language and Structure of the Statutes " rs valuable, possibly, more for its novelty than for any l oftier characteristic; and two papers, devoted individually to the consideration of Spain and' Borneo, will be v ariously attractive. We congratulate literary aspirants generally upon the kindliness of tone which is observ able in a critical notice upon the dramas of Mr White—Earl of Gowrie and King of the Commons. If it might be taken as an augury, no more Keatses are to be killed by Quarterlies, no more Byrons are to be goaded to the publication of satires by the acerbity of those Periodicals ; no more Tennyson's will have to wait the flight of many years before even their existence will be acknowledged. It is a generous effort in the right di rection. One of the strangest and oddest compilations ever contained in the blue-and-buff covering is one en titled the "Long Parliament and Sir Simon D'Evves," and one of the most ingenious "The Sahara. and its Tribes." We shall endeavour, if possible, to comment elsewhere upon a very excellent article en "Colonial Protection •" it is a kind of last and crushing blew to the bugbear monopoly.

THE NEW and the OLD MINISTRY. When a complete change in the Government takes place, the number of great public functionaries who re ceive new appointments is between fifty and sixty. The larger portion, if not the whole, of the recent changes have already been made known to our readers; but they were necessarily announced as they occurred, from day to day, and sometimes at intervals of two or three days. Now, the particulars of a great event aro very liable to be forgotten when communicated by instalments; and, as all these matters have at length been finally completed, it may perhaps be as well to take a detailed review of all the new arrangements, which are as follows: First Lord of the Treasury—Lord John Russell, vice Sir Robert Peel.

Solicitor-General for Ireland—James Henry Mona ghan, E:q , vice Abraham Brewster, Esq. Under Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant—Thomas Nicholas Redington, Esq., vice Richard Pennefather, Esq. Amongst the novel features which the new arrange ments present it may be mentioned that the Colonial Department is to be represented in the Lower House by two Under Secretaries, Messrs. Hawes and Buller. The offices of Vice-President of the Board of Trade and Master of the Mint have ceased to be held by one Minister, and are divided between Messrs. Sheil and Milner Gibson. to satiate, if it were possible, the spirit of Mammon. It should be recollected also, that the murderous system of sla very prevalent in Cuba and Brazil is preceded by one still more terrible in Africa, and during the middle passage. It may be asserted that for every African slave landed in these countries two perish in the original capture and during the subsequent stages of the internal traffic. And, further, it should be borne in mind that the greater portion of the slaves in Cuba and Brazil are entitled to freedom by virtue of the treaties of those countries with Great Britain, and are only debarred from the enjoyment of liberty by the disgraceful violation of a solemn compact. But instead of demanding their liberty, a splendid bribe is about to be offered in order that commercial intercourse may be facilitated with people whose crimes against humanity merit the execration of all men and cry aloud for the vengeance of Heaven. But besides the increased sacrifice of human life, and the augmentation of crime and suffering which will, undoubtedly, be the fruits of this measure, the undersigned contemplate, with the deepest sorrow, its destructive effects upon all that is done, and is doing, for the civilisation of Africa. The noble efforts which have been made, and are making, for the introduction of Christianity into that continent will be paralysed by the increased impetus given to the slave trade. The enlightenment of men, and the spread of the Gospel, cannot co-exist where the crimes of the slave-trade are per petrated and fostered. It is the chief glory of this country, that in the exercise of a high and noble policy, it has, through its Legislature, de clared the slave-trade to be piracy and felony; and the sys tem of slavery to be inherently and essentially unjust. It has, moreover, sanctioned a vast outlay of the national trea sure in the attempt to suppress the former and the aboli tion of the latter. To promote, then, their extension in foreign countries either directly or indirectly, or to counte nance such enormous crimes, or to seek to increase the revenue from sources so polluted, will be flagrantly incon sistent with its solemn decisions embodied in Acts of Par- TOE SUGAR QUESTIO (From the Times.) In the present Ministry, as well as in the last, the Chancellorship of the Exchequer is not united with the office of First Lord of the Treasury. This course, how ever, is at variance with the established practice. The rule until within the last five years was that the Pre mier, being in the Lower House, must not only be the First Lord of the Treasury, but also Chancellor of the Exchequer. 'I he instances in the present century, to go no further back, are Sir Robert Peel himself in 1834-5, Mr. Perceval, Mr. Pitt, and Mr. .Addington. The other Premiers within the same period were Members of the Upper House, and therefore could not discharge the duties of Chancellor of the Exchequer. The new prac tice not only diminishes the labour of the Premier, but increases his patronage, by enabling him to bestow the Chancellorship of the Exchequer upon one of his ad herents. 1 to' " 3 0 [itto 1 p Hit, hers 4 vOOl 4 II 3 4 p 0 19 p 11 4 8 ALARMING-FIRES LAST NlGHT.—Shortly before ten o'clock last night an alarming fire was discovered burning upon the premises belonging to Mr. B. L. Bouchier, a hop corn, and malt dealer, carrying on business at No. 19, Crescent, Haeknev-road, adjoining the Rising Sun wine vaults, and immediately facing the Refuge fur the Female Destitute. The flames originated, from some cause which could not ba ascertained, in the basement floor, at the rear of the premises. Owing to the inflammable nature of the stock the flames travelled with amazing swiftness, and in the course of a few minutes the whole of the back portion of the building was blazing away with such fury as to threaten with destruction the adjoining buildings. The engines a the London, brigade from Jeffrey-square, Watling-street, and Whitecrosa-street stations promptly attended, as did also that of the West of England Insurance Company. An abundance of water being obtained, the engines were set to work, but although the firemen exerted themselves to the utmost they were unable to get the flames subdued before half-past eleven o'clock, and not until a very considerable deal of damage had been done. Unfortunately Mr. Bouchier was uninsured. Whilst the firemen were busily engaged at the above fire in formation was received that another outbreak had taken place in the neighbourhood of Saffron-hill. The engines of the brigade and an escape of the Royal Society for the Pro tection of Life from Fire quickly attended. It was then found that from some accident a bed, the bedding, and furniture of Mr. P. Conrey, of 10, Saffron-street, were on fire, but the flames were soon extinguished. FATAL AND DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IDT THE CITY.— Yesterday morning, shortly after three o'clock, a dreadful fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Fenn, chop and coffee house keeper, 26. Newgate-street, City. As might be ex pected, from the instant alarm which was given, there was no want of assistance, and in a few minutes after its outbreak at least a doleri engines of' the A and B sections of the bri gade, as also that of the West of England Company, were on the spot. Water was abundantly supplied, and the engines were worked without intermission, throwing vast torrents on the burning mass, but not the least stay of destruction could be made until the premises of Mr. Fenn were completely de stroyed, and great damage done also to the property of Mr. Mackenzie, a Berlin-wool dealer adjoining. ?efr. Fenn escaped by clinging to some timber at the back of his house, used for supporting those opposite while the sewer was under repair, from whence he was dragged by a City policeman into his window. One of the lodgers, however, was not so fortu nate, for, imagining no other hope of escape, he jumped out of the window, and on being picked up, was conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where every attention was paid to the case, bat he died in the course of a few hours. Two of the Royal Society's fire-escapes were taken to the fire; but unfortunately not time enough to prevent the above accident. NoQne knew how the fire originated, but the loss is estimated at nearly 8001., part of which, belonging to Mr. Fenn, is in sured in the Union, and that of Mr. Mackenzie in the Sun Fire Office. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT LIVERPOOL—About one o'clock yesterday morning, whilst constables Campbell and Haggarty were on dutyln the vicinity of the Custom-house, they perceived large volumes of smoke issuing from a splen did pile o f building situate in Cooper's-row, occupied by Mr. - M'Eachen (late Appleton), as a cork-cutting manufactory. They immediately gave , information to Superintendents Royd and Abraham, who caused the alarm to be communi cated to the fire police-Station. Before, . however, time was afforded for the arrival of the engines, the flames had burst forth from the windows on the second floor, and in an incre dibly short period a mighty mass of fire seemed to pervade the entire of the building. Mr. Hewitt and Chief Commis sioner Brown were quickly at the scene of conflagration, and they directed the efforts of the brigade to the preservatio n of the adjoining premises, in the o ccu p a ti on o f M essrs. Newton , Lyon, and Co., copp,r and zinc merchants. Mr. Dowling, the chief eommissioner of the police, and Mr. Maxwell. in spector of salvage, now arrived at the scene of conflagration, and were unremitting in their exertions to suppress the flames. There being but a moderate breeze from the south west, the powerful-engines brought into exercise checked the progress of the flames, which at oneti c me n t e h r oreaftesnoeduttho john enve lope the adjoining premises at the or John street. occupied by Messrs. Dempster, the extensive shipping bakers, situate on the west side of the burning building. Un fortunately no water could be obtained from the 'mains for three-quarters of an hour, the flames meanwhile making rapid progress, and at two o'clock the roof fell in with a report resembling a peal of thunder. The scene at this period was truly grand; the heavens were completely illu minated, and the shower of sparks which succeeded the falling in of the roof eclipsed any pyrotechnic display of modern times. The premises and contents were totally destroyed, aril the fire, though still raging, it was hoped would be con fined to the building in which it originated. We have not been able to ascertain the amount of damage sustainel.— Liverpool Courier. SALE or AN ADVOWSON.—Thursday the impropriate rectory of Alne, otherwise Alne Tollerton, in the North Riding of Yorkshire, with •the perpetual advowsnn of the vicarage of Alne, was put up to auction by order of the. High Court of Chancery, with the approbation of the Hon. Sir G. Rose, one of the Masters of the Court, at the public auction room of the Court, Gray's Inn Coffee-house, the sale arising out of the cause of Joseph Vernon and others, and the Hon. Arthur Thellusson and others. The whole was subject to the life of the present incumbent, and comprised about 164 acres. The rental of it was about 2261. per annum, and the tithes were at about 2201. per annum. The highest offer for the lot was 7001. The actioneer said that the reserved price was muck beyond that, and the sale closed. An extensive fall of earth took place lately near Pedrazzi, in the Tyrol, by which a great number of trees were uprooted, and the farm of a man named Loss was covered over with mud and gravel to the depth of three or four feet. The authorities, on hearing of the disaster, pro ceeded to the spot, and ordered excavations to be made. After two hours' work the body of a child was discovered, a nd shortly after those of the father and mother. All the cattle of the farmer were found dead. It is supposed that this lamentable accident was caused by the quantity of rain which had fallen.

The following protest against the proposed introduction of slave-grown sugars into the British markets is to be presented to Lord John Russell to-day. A crisis has arisen in the history of the anti-slavery cause of so grave a nature as to require the instant attention and the prorhpt and vigorous action of every friend of liberty and humanity throughout the United Kingdom. It is understood that the first great measure which the new Government intend to submit to the consideration of Parliament will have for its object the introduction of slave grown sugars into the British markets. The grounds on which this step is attempted to be justified are those of poli tical expediency and commercial advantage. It is intended thereby to augment the quantity of sugar for home consump tion, to increase the revenue from the duties leviable thereon, and to complete the series of free-trade measures which have already received the sanction of the Legislature and of the Crown. These grounds would be perfectly legitimate did not the plan contemplated by Goverment injuriously affect the rights of millions of mankind, and involve the violation of those high moral considerations which should always influ ence the conduct of Governments and Legislatures as well as that of individuals. That the measure proposed by Government will have the effect of strengthening the system of slavery, of stimulating the slave trade, and of adding to the horrors of both, admits of no doubt with most, if notall, who have maturely studied the question. And it is because, in the deliberate judgment of the undersigned, that the proposed measure would lead to these dreadful results that they enter their solemn protest against it, and call most urgently on the friends of the anti slavery cause, in every part of the country, to follow their example. 1. With respect to slavery.—lt is assumed by those who advocate the proposed measure for the equalization of the duties on foreign sugars, without regard to origin or country, that from 70,000 to 80,000 tons of slave-grown sugars will be annually required to meet the increased demand in the Bri tish markets. These sugars will come principally from the Spanish West India colonies and Brazil, where, it is no torious, slavery assumes its most degrading and terrific forms. Of the slaves employed in the cultivation of the sugars in Cuba, one-tenth perish annually, and the whole are killed off in ten years, In Brazil the mortality on the sugar estates is admitted to be five per cent. per annum, in some cases more, which would destroy the population in twenty years. Now this takes place under the present demand for sugar; but with the increased demand contemplated by the new arrangement of the sugar duties, that murderous m ortality will be fearfully increased , or new slaves must be imported to meet the exigency. At present neither the Brazilian nor the Cuban planters possess more labourers than they require. They have no unemployed slaves, no hands in want of work, no superabundance of population. On the contrary, all hands are now worked to excess. It follows, therefore, that the very same people who are thus mur dered by wholesale to make the quantity of sugar now ex ported from Cuba and Brazil, will have to make more—that is to say, they must be forced by the lash to a new excess of labour, at which they will be more wretched while they live ' and under which they will more rapidly die. Where the labourer is free, every augmentatation in the demand for the produce of his toil increases his means of subsistence and comfort; where the labourer is a slave, it as certainly dimi nishes them, and destroys him. That slavery will be strengthened must be obvious from the fact that additional capital will be directly employed in sustaining it, and thereby rendering it more profitable than it is at present. A gr eat mercantile house at the Havannah y "they had no expectation of the price of sugar i mpr oved, except by having the English mar ketNsthatoess,e atuhtathorwithyilst i s quoted in the last slave trade papers, einotghe pro duce of the island," th e y were conv i nce d o g p a e r n being that if this could b e effected even at a rate of 50 per cent. ahe'v f e the r dety on English colonial sugar, still they could obtain their produce double the amount th e y can o b ta i n at present." If s uch be the fact, who can reflect on the con sequences 2. With re spect to the slave trade.—N o one can believe for a moment that the Brazilian and Cuban planters will let their stock of sla ves diminish. To fill up the gaps created b the vast mortal it y which is incess antly going on among them, they have recourse to the Afr ican slave trade. By without shudd er? shisudtrdaeffir?c will be pursued with greater this horrid mean s they recruit and increase t h eir gangs ; and , beyond all doubt, this desperation An d atrocity in proportion to the growing urgency of the demand and eagerness of planters to pur chase. At present the enormous profits derived from the contraband slave trade pres9nt an irresistible stimulus to the traffickers in men ; but it will receive an additional and enor mous stimulus should the proposed measure take effect. Under existing circumstances, the slave trade cannot be put down ; under the additional incentive, it must be not only perpetuated, but increased. If more sugar is made in Cuba and Brazil, there must be more hands to make it; and those hands must be fetched by slavers from desolated and bleeding Africa. On the supposition that these countries will supply 50,000 tons of the assumed quantity of sugar, 50,000 new slaves v n e u r s i m ust be obtained to prepare it for exporta tion ; and to me et the wastes of mortality that will, be occa sioned by the el yof f the system under which they are placed, a large ad ditional num ber of Africans must be im ported, to join t hat host of h uman beings who are ever y a t least year torn from their native homes by the slave traders, and compelled to surrender up their liberty to the tyrant task masters of Brazil and Cuba, The proposed measure will, in the opinion of the under signed, as certainly. and almost as directly increase the slave trade as it this country had given a premium for every kid napped negro forced on board the slavers, and carried from Africa through the unutterable horrors of the middle pas sage, to interminable bondage. It is unnecessary to dwell on the accumulated horrors of slavery and the slave trade. They are too well known and too sorely lamented by the friends of humanity to need spe cification. Yet it should be remembered that the slave popu lations of the Spanish colonies and Brazil are innocent men, women, and children, who have been despoiled of their most precious rights, and subjected to the most atrocious discipline, liament. In 1840, a measure similar in principle to that under review was proposed to Parliament. Then the Government gave it a decided negative. The President of the Board of Trade (Mr. Labouchere), said, " No one could entertain a doubt (in the event of the motion being carried) that the great mass of foreign sugar imparted into this country would be from the Brazil. In Brazil no sugar was produced except by slave labour. He felt it to be a painful duty to oppose the motion, but the question he had to ask himself was this, whether he would consent to give such a stimulus to slave labour in Brazil as would be produced by throwing open the market of this country to the reception of their sugar. He was not able to make up his mind that this was a course which he ought to recommend to the House. Ile did not believe that it would be agreeable to their constituents, when they under stood the facts of the case." He would not be a party to a measure which, he added, " would inundate the British market with sugar the produce of slave labour." The intro duction of slave grown sugar, opposed by such reasons, was at that time successfully resisted by those who now propose to introduce it. In seeking the exclusion of slave -grown sugars from the British market, the friends of the anti-slavery cause design to uphold no monopoly, to strengthen no class interests, to promote no sordid or selfish views, much less any party pur pose; but their aim is to lessen the sum of human misery and degradation, and to advance the sacred cause of free dom throughout the world.

FREE-TRADE REJOICINGS. The Mayor of Man chester, in compliance with the urgent request of a numerous body of' the inhabitants of that manufacturing capital, has issued a public recommendation that Monday, the 3d of August next, be celebrated as a general holiday, in com memoration of the triumph of free trade. In Ashton-under- Line a public dinner is to take place. In Bury, a procession, dinner, and ball will grace the 25th and 27th instant ; and the ex-Premier is said to have been invited to the festivities. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —A CASE OF A SHATTERED CONSTITUTION CWRED BY HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—MISS Glover, age twenty-four, daughter of Colonel Glover, 15, Broadway, New York, had an enlargement of the liver, a constant palpitation of the heart, besides being dropsical, was never free from cough, aceompanied with much expectoration. She was so bad as not to be able to leave her chamber. The first advice in the country had been obtained for her, but to no purpose, as she daily got worse, and kept her bed altogether. In this hopeless state the Colonel sent to Toronto Do twenty dollars worth of Holloway's Pills, which had the effect of completely restoring the young lady to health in about nine weeks. Sold by all drunists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London. ARRIVALS OF SPECIE.—An experienced shipowner states that specie of the value of ten millions of dollars will be received in this country by the end of August. This in cludes the two millions received from Mexico by the last packet, the three millions expected by the Daphne, the last instalment of the Chinese ransom, and the gold recently re ceived from Russia.---Leeds Mercury. ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.--Yesterday morning, about six o'clock, as Robert Holland, in the employ of the company, was engaged in clearing one of the engines at the Stratford station, he loosened one of the screws, which caused one of the gauge taps to be turned, and a shower of boiling water was instantly dis charged on the middle and lower part of his body, which scalded him in a dreadful manner. He was instantly removed to the hospital, where he lies.

The Protectionists, however, it appears, will not leave them a choice. They will have to abide the result. (Froth the Chronicle.) All further speculation as to what the Government will do with respect to the sugar duties will be set at rest to-night. Our own opinion was from the first made up, not from any knowledge of the views of the Cabinet, or rather of those who were expected to form the Cabinet, but from our know ledge of the general principles and declared opinions of the First Minister, and our confidence that he had neither tie will nor the power to depart from them. Lord John Rus sell is too thorough a Reformer to throw away the oppor tunity of giving effect to the matured and settled opinions of the country upon the sugar monopoly. The Noble Lord is influence he good a tactician not to comprehend through what he has obtained his present position—and by which policy alone he can retain and strengthen it—to think of hesitating for one moment as to the course he should pursue. It istruetlmt Lord George Bentinck, Mr. Disraeli, and Mr. Boraiwick, swelled the majority which was the immediate cause of throwing the Government into his Lordship's hands, but the great necessity which led to that anomalous division in whi'di the late Government was defeated, was the fixed opinion of the country against in( nnpoly, and in favour of free. trade. It was a knowledge of the princii,Tes and position of Lord John Russell which gave us c• - •,nlidence in forming the opi nion which we did, even against such positive announcements to the contrary. Our confidence from the first has been un moved, and it remains so still. We have no anxiety as to the announcement to be made this evening. Tlie settlement must be substantially the same as corn. IF, however, as we suggested on Monday last, revenue considerations should make it desirable that the protection, instead of continuing the whcle three years entire, should be cut down year by year, then it may not be unfair to extend the time from three to four or five years. Such a plan will not only be more ad vantageous for the revenue, but also for the consumer; the additional quantity of sugar produced in each year will find increasing facilities for admission in each year. A perfect parallel between sugar and corn would ran thus : Corn duty. Sugar duty. 1846 ... 4s. to 10s. per qr. 14s. and 20s. per cwt. 1847 ...... 4s. to 10s. „ 14s. and 20s. „ 1848 1849 But if in place of retaining the full protection (20e.) for three years, it is gradually cut down year by year, it would be no greater concession to the West Indians, and wonld be a benefit to the revenue. Thus, if one or to o years more were taken, in that case the scale would stand Parallel of To be reduced Or be reduced Corn duties. in four years. in five years. 546 ... 14s. and 205.... 14s. and '2os. ...14s. and 20s. 1847 ... 14s. „ 20s. ... 14s. „ 18s. 6d....145. „ 18s. 9d. 1843 ... 14s. „ 20s. ... 14s. „ 17s. - ...14s. „ 17s.Gd. 1849 ... 14s. „ 14s. ... 14s. „ 15s. 6d....145. „ 16s. 3d. 1850 l4s. „ 14s. ...14s. „ 15s. 1851 l4s. „ 14s. It is clear that by ths plan the consumer will gain as much by the reductions in the first, second, and third year, as he will lose in the fourth or fifth ; such a settlement, therefore, may be regarded as substantially the same as that of corn. There is one branch of the sugar duties question to which no reference has been made throughout these discussions, though it is one involving questions of most serious inconvenience to the trade. We allude to the foolish scale of classification of duties according to quality, introduced by Mr. Gladstone. This distinction we have the greatest confidence will be en tirely given up, and the old and simple plan of uniform rates of duty on all qualities restored. The failure of this classi fication as a mode of increasing the revenue, and the frauds and inconvenience to which all parties have been exposed, have been so palpable, that we feel assured we shall hear no more of the distinction between " white clayed, or equal thereto," and " brown clayed, or Muscavado sugar." (From Douglas Jerrold's Weekly Newspaper.) The principle of colonial protection, while it secured to the produce of the mother country the exclusive markets of her transmarine possessions, guaranteed a similar privilege to the colonists in the markets of Britain. This system, based on the jealousy of trade, established a commercial monopoly, and it was pushed to the unjust extreme of imposing heavier duties on the sugars and coffees of Bengal than on those of the West Indies. The preference formerly given to the western over the eastern colonies is traceable to the fact of Parliamentary influence, the proprietors of the West Indian soil being members of both Houses of the Legislature, and. , the extra profits they realised on their estates through pro tective duties, formed the valuable consideration for which they gave their votes to the Minister of the day. When the various states and kingdoms of South America, ancient 'colonies of Spain and Portugal, had asserted their independence, and Mr. Canning had, as he said, called the new world into political existence, to rectify the balance of the old, these countries sought a-market for their produce in Europe, but they were excluded from Britain by what have been called the " differential duties." Thus when the duty . on West India sugar was 245. per cwt., the duty on fo reign sugar was 635. per cwt., and it is obvious that this difference of 395. per cwt. between the two rates, operated as a prohibition, and secured a monopoly to the colonial grower. A short extract from "P or t er ' s P rogress o f t h e N at i on, " will suffice to demonstrate the extent of the injustice inflicted by this system on the consumer in the mother country:— "The cost, exclusive of duty, of 3,764,710 cwt. retained for consumption in 1840, was 9,156,8721., if calculated at the Gazette average prices. The cost of a like quantity of Brazil or Ilavannah sugar of equal quality would have been 4,141,181/., and consequently we have paid in one year, 5,015,6911. more than the price which the inhabitants of other countries in Europe would have paid for an equal quan tity of sugar." Though Mr. Porter considers this an extreme case, yet he unqualifiedly asserts that " we arc made to pay for the sugar consumed in the United Kingdom, more than we need pay, by an amount exceeding the value of all the goods which we manufacture for the West India colonies." Such a state ment, from so highly competent an authority, having every official document at his command, clearly proves that we are annually sacrificing native industry, through an absurd and ruinous tariff. Without making any pretension to the perilous function assigned to us by the Honourable. Member.for Finsbury, we believe we may confidently acquaint our readers with the outlines of the plan in which the Cabinet delibrations on the sugar duties have finally resulted. It is not-such as was remotely contemplated at the very commencement of the mantis by the chiefs of the still unformed Cabinet, though, on the other hand, a somewhat more modi fied measure than that which a contemporary has been at considerable pains to force upon the Govern ment. The distinction between slave and free grown sugar is, of course, inunediately to cease; on that point ,there has been ?a) alteration. Instead, however, of a three years maintenance of the existing protection against foreign sugar of free growth, it will be proposed that the gradual diminution shall imme diately commence. According to a scale which has been shown to us, the absolute duty on foreignsugar will for the ensuing twelvemonths be about 215., and the protective duty will finally expire at the end of five years, when all the sugars of all the world will be admitted on the 14s. duty, to which our own colonial sugar is new subject. It is unnecessary to point out that there is a considerable difference between this and the scheme which was under discussion three weeks since, and which would have maintained the present rate of protection to colonial sugar for two or three years longer, and then by a more rapid descent have removed it altogether by the same period at which it is still intended to cease. The question will be asked, why this change ? The • chiefs of the new Cabinet were fully alive to the difficulties of their situation, and were fully aware that the defeat, or rather the natural disso - lotion of one Ministry by no means involved the secure esta blishment of another. They felt a wish, therefore—a wish in which we most entirely sympathised—to meet the pacific tendencies of the Protectionist party, and the prudent mode ration of those who had gathered round the person of the late Minister. Accordingly, they proposed to protract what may be styled " the decline and fall" of colonial protection to a term which they thought might possibly propitiate a con siderable number of those who are either personally or po litically interested in the question. What effect the an nouncement of their moderate plan had with the 112, and whether it was even necessary in their case, we cannot say. It was, however, lost on the Protectionists. These very unreasonable gentlemen, whom for their own sakes we are heartily sorry to see bent upon doing themselves all the mishief in their power, have now hoisted over the hogshead of colonial sugar that standard of "No SURRENDER" which they have so recently been compelled to lower from a far more sacred and impregnable fortress, the sack of British corn. Since, therefore, they will not be treated with or mollified on any terms, Ministers have had no alternative but to leave them out of the question, and adopt a scale they consider more suitable to the actual exigencies of the case. It was hoped by the proposition of the loner term to obtain the acquiescence of the Protectionists in by far the most im portant part of the plan—the equalization 'of-slave and free grown sugar. To this point, however, it Appears, as was, in deed, to be expected, they have directed the chief weight of their opposition. The question will turn on the religious bearings of the case. The no-slavery cry will be resuscitated by a new and rather uncongenial band of philanthropists, who, we apprehend, will not be able to allege either consistency or prescription in support of their calling. Rumour points out Mr. Gladstone as the leader whom they have had what they consider the good fortune to secure, and whom they think no very ridiculous ambition to design for that splendid but difficult post which a Peel, and after him a Russell, had just before abdicated. Perhaps it will be thought a work of supererogation to develope the policy of those gentle men. They meditate, of course, a reconstruction of the Con servative party, on some basis, and under some leadership, which victory may possibly give them, the opportunities or the leisure to choose. We should be the very last to oppose so natural a design, if it could 'be satisfactory explained for what 'public purpose, or for what pur pose beside private advantage, the party is to be re constructed. This, however, is now attempted; and these political novices consider • - that' fortune has thrown in their , way a capital topic in the slavery sugar question. It, is "a good point." Undoubtedly it is. The British people have given a pretty strong proof of their objection to -slavery; and, on the other hand, are by no means so mad for cheap sugar as for cheap' corn. As we said the other day, there is not one man - in ten who care's to a penny or two what will be the price of a , pound . of sugar ten years hence.

In like manner we may reply, that we have paid 20,000,000/., and by this time as much again, to put down slavery, and have no inclination to go on for ever throwing millions after millions into that bot tomless abyss. Every man, woman, and child in these islands wears,—at least we hope so,—some ar ticle or other of slave grown cotton. We take to bacco, spirits, indigo, spices, and we know not what besides, the produce of slavery, without for a moment think ing there is any crime in it. Nay, we import immense quan tities of slave sugar for exportation; and even the free sugar we import is only so much taken from the market of slave sugar. Again, we have all kinds of dealings with these said slaves and their owners. We send them clothes. Why not take their sugar? Will the Protec tionists just look forward a little! Suppose a division in their favour. We have then, as a matter of course, that immense evil, a general election ; and of course, also, the sugar question made easy to the meanest capacities. But that will not be all. The present Ministry wish to start with as little offence as possible to the antagonist powers of the country. Their advent is conciliatory. A general election, however, is inevitably fatal to so delicate a policy. It will be necessary to "get up the teanu" The THE SWINDLER, J. H. WYNDHAM.— Tho fifty pounds cheque which " J. 11. Wyndham," alias " James B. Welles ley," attempted to pass away upon the proprietor of the Royal Sussex Hotel, Tonbridge Wells, was purported to be drawn by "Thomas Turner, for Gurney and Co., of 'Yar mouth," upon their London bankers, Messrs. Barclay, Bevan, and Co., of Lombard-street. As this document, upon being compared with other cheques negotiated by the swindler at Windsor, Eton, anti Inverness, is clearly in his own hand writing, the crime of forgery will, without the least diffi culty, be brought home to him. The cheque which he at tempted to negotiate at Tonbridge Wells is still in the hands of the landlord of the hotel. _ . 1 ARISII OF ST. PANCRAS.—It is in contemplation to divide this large parish into ecclesiastical districts, so that the present Chapels of Ease at Camden-town, Somers-town, Old St. Pancras-road, Woburn-place, Regent-square, &c.. may be district churches, to the incumbents of which a por tion of the parish will be assigned. The Rev. Thomas Dale, M.A., the new vicar, has expressed his entire concurrence with this arrangement. Sir William Parker has declined the offer of a seat at the Admiralty Board, and Sir Charles Adam bas Wen ay 130iUted itt his place, ,44 , It is calculated that in the rich and middle ranks the an- nual consumption of sugar by each individual for all purposes is 401 b., while among the labouring classes it does not exceed 91b. for each individual. Every person serving on board one of her Majesty's ships is allowed lioz. of sugar a day, which amounts to 341 b. 3oz. yearly; and the allowance given to aged paupers in the Union Houses is 1 oz. a day, or 2241 b. in the year. If we take the labouring classes at four fifths of the population, we perceive the gross injustice inflicted on the great body of the people by depriving them of wholesome food through excessive taxation, and the extent of the injury suf fered by our export trade by limiting the consumption of sugar. Why should not the honest working man have as plentiful a supply of sugar as the pauper or the sailor? Why should the poorer classes be deprived of the means of pre serving fruit in abundant seasons? Are they not as deserv ing of protection as the West India landlords, who divided among them twenty millions sterling as the price of the re demption of their slaves? In order to resist the abolition of differential duties, colonial avarice has formed an alliance with their former opponents. It appears that the introduction of the sugars of Brazil and Cuba would encourage slavery. The very men who would not manumit their negroes till their bodies were ransomed with gold, now affect to sympathise with the African, and under the mask of Christian philanthropy seek to sustain their rents by levying an annual tribute upon the very people whom they taxed for the emancipation of their former slaves. We ask these hypocrites if they will consent to pay the dif ference between the colonial and foreign duty into the public treasury, instead of putting it into their own pockets? That would test the purity of their motives. We ask them further, why do they not prohibit the admission of slave-grown cot ton,"for the principle is the same in cotton as in sugar, and what is just in the southern States of America cannot be un just in Cuba or Brazil ? " Silver and gold," said Milner Gibson—and we hail his appointment to office as one of the most promising acts of the new Ministry—" are slave pro duce;" yet who refuses to pocket them?
