MORNING EDITION SPIRIT of the PUBLIC; JOURNALS. --~-- FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY - CHRONICLE.—The inquiry whether Ministers possess the confidence of the present House of Commons will soon, we trust, be altogether merged in the much more important ques tion whether they possess the confidence of the country. In fact, the one question is mooted in reference to the other. The topic of Parliamentary confidence is raised partly to enable the Opposition to damage Ministers, if they can, with the country, and partly to obstruct the full development of that beneficent policy on which the claims of the Government will substan tially rest in the great public trial now impending. Such tactics, however, arse not adapted to inspire confidence in honest micds towards those who employ them. That Sir Robt. Peel brought forward a motion having no practical aim, being merely an occasion factitiously created for assailing the Mem bers of Government, and tending to preclude discussion on the people'; right to cheap food and the plan of Minis ters for allowing them to obtain it, will not attract toe confidence of tnose who look simply to the public welfare, and prefer straightforward means for its accomplishment. Sir Robert Peel's motion is disingenuously framed. Confidence is a question of degree. If a :Ministry is required to possess it to such an extent as never to be baffled in its measures, what Government can abide the test ? If the motion mean his; it goes upon a principle that renders the existence of a Govern ment impossible. We must sttppose it then to mean that Mi nisters do not stand sufficiently high in a graduated scale of Parliamentary confidence. We will take this construction ; and then we are entitled to" ask, whether Sir Robert Peel and his coleagues stand higher in that scale ? Piainly not ; he would, else, have been in a majority and in office. If the present Ministry stand too low, the prpjected Ministry stands yet lower. A censure on the one implies a stronger censure on the other. The alleged want of confidence, based as it professes to be on the past, tells a fortiori a g ainst the leader of the Opposition. If Lord Mel bourns ought net to be Premier, much less ought Sir Robert Peel to be Premier. He disqualifies himself by his own showing. He proposes to vote out his own pretensions by extinguishing those which surpass his. And yet the drift, spi rit, and design of his motion is to displace those who have the larger portion of confidence by those who only possess the smaller portion, on the allegation that confidence is essential. • A commercial man wants an acting partner, and requires him to be possessed of capital. His only choice is between two men, one of whom has 12,01;01. and the other 10,0001. ; the latter says, " 12,0 , 01. is not capital enough, your acting part ner ought to have more; my rival is plainly disqualified by his want of capital, and so take me; I propose that you instal me by a resolution declating him to be too poor." Just such is the purport of this want of confidence motion ; as fallacious, as suming, and disingenuous. The resolution before the House cannot be regarded on one side only. The Commons here only to choose between Russell and Peel. There is no mean ing in affirming a want of confidence in the one, unless it be also understood as an affirmation of sufficient confidence in the other. The negative in the case inevitably implies the positive. TIMES.—An Evening Journal in the Ministerial interest, unable to vindicate the speakers at the City Anti-Corn-law meeting from the charge which we brought home to them of di-gracing themselves and the cause they advocate by "false hood and nonsense," " mountebankery and imposture," has sheltered it elf under the convenient assertion that we garbled our quotations from their speeches. If the journalist hid thought of anything except the shortest and most convenient way of salving over the detected follies and knaveries of his party, he might have learnt from the article, which he was not answering but evading, that we had been at the pains to anti cipate this ready resource of Wing controversy, by quoting, not from our own report, but from that of a Ministerial con temporary. Af er stating ;be substance of certain observations made by a Mr. Dillon, we continued as follows " Mr. Grote, on the other hand (a man who, with all his faults as a politician, has this merit—that he generally says what he thinks), acknowledged that there had been en couraged in this country a falla ions system of cultivating wheat, which owed its existence altogether to the Corn-lows,' and which would be cut down at one blow', if they were sutt denly repealed." The evening journal gives this passage with its context, and comments upon it after this fashion It is hardly necessary to say, that this is an utter misrepre sentation of the expres• ions of Mr. Grote, for the purpose of ;rucking them seem grossly inconsistent with the statements of the previous speaker, as well as grossly absurd and extrava gant in themselves. What Mr. GrGte said was as follows : There has been encouraged a fallacious system of cultivating wheat in this country, to the exclusion of other produce, which owes its existence altogether to the Corn-laws; and we owe it to those who have been induced by our laws to embark in it, that we should take a cautious and measured line in approx imating to free trade.' What the Times made Mr. Grote say was an utter extravagance." It is " hardly necessary," certainly ; for if the passage we quoted was utter extravagance, the Times is not responsible for having put it into the mouth of Mr. Grate ; the " misre presentation" was that of an exceedingly strong and stanch Anti-. Corn-law Paper, The Sun, front which we bsrrowed our quotation, after first ascertain i ng that it agreed with our own report. What Mr. Grote may really have said is of very little importance.; though, as fax as we can see, the words inserted by our Contemporary, instead of improving the sentence, would turn it into either absolute nonsense, or the most foolish of ;11. possible untruths. We cannot be surprised that the exposures which we have thought it our duty to make of the dishonest po'itics of she Anti-Corn-law agita tors should irritate the partisans of the Whig Ministry, and make them impatient of our adherence to the views which we have always professed upon this subject. No doubt they would feel the castigation less f om persons whom they could plausibly describe as friends of monopoly, than from a quarter oppos - ed to the Corn-laws. They may, however, rest assured that we do not intend to relinquish our opinions merely because others endeavour to advance them by fraudu lent means, and for factious purposes. The course taken by Ministers haseartainly been calculated_ to convert a vast num ber of sober-minded men, accessible to reason but opposed upon principle to mountebankery and agitation, whet were before warerieg in their views, into steady supporters of the Corn-law; :and this, with all eoliehtened advocates of free trade, is a leading gravamen of the charge against the Government. But those who, like ourselves, had previously adopted definite views of this subject for definite reasons, can not abandon them without some weightier cause than the misconduct of these who seek to make them the stalking ' horse of an expiring faction. We would postpone them for ever, rather than " stir society to its foundations . ' by lending ourselves to the dissemination of delusive and inflammatory statements, calculated to misrepresent the- real question at issue, and array the different classes of the community against each other, and we s' all ever protest against such methods of war fare. Nor do we stand alone in this. The ablest and most in dependent of the Liberal weekly newspapers has been no less anxious than ourselves to strip away from the Corn-law !pies tioa the mass of f ilsehoed and mystification with which the supple tools of the Treasury have sought to encumber it. But we shall never come forward as the advocates of a system which does not recommend itse,f to our deliberate judgment as based upon sound principles of national policy. TIMES.—As the Whigs are moving heaven and earth to counteract the national outcry which insists on expelling them from their Ministerial functions, it is proper that even the few persons who may possibly be imposed on by the pretended de monstrations now in progress should be seasonably forewarned against the shallow sophistry whereby their credulity is sought to be abused. No doubt, if we except the indifferent muster of tap-room politicians and Lumber-troopers, who follow the drums of the Anti-Corn-law League, the public generally are pretty familiar with the feints and stratagems of that notable recruiting-party : but, as there are always some whose igno rance may expose them to be preyed on by the salaried leaguers who have a direct interest in beating up for meetings, petitions, signatures, and subscriptions, we shall briefly adduce one solitary fact which, in preference to a thousand abstract arguments, must certainly convince our rea d ers th a t w h at i s craft i ly called the Anti-Corn-law agitation has really no noticeable existence at all ; that the said agitation is confined solely to the mortified breasts of those who fail to excite it elsewhere ; and that the people of England are universally treating it as one of the fugitive humbugs of a (lying political faction. Apart altogether from the expediency or inexpediency of subjecting the Corn-lawn to the revisal of competent statesmen at a pro per time, the striking and significant fact to which we are about to allude (namely, that the Anti-Corn-law leaders have proclaimed by advertisement, that the country does not sop port them) must at least demolish the reiterated assertions of the Ministerial press as to the popularity of their cause. For the last twelve months or more, our ears have been stunned with noisy representations about the mighty gatherings of Anti- Corn law delegates, and the rapid extension of their principles throughout the entire kingdom. Judging from the boastful bulletins which have issued from head-quarters, one would have imagined not merely that the League was entitled to the preferable appeJation of a Legion, but that its actual progress had been that of a grand victorious army. We now learn, however, from later and more authentic accounts, that there has .been " something too much; of this." Doubtless, even in the absence of secondary resources, miracles of high achieve ment may occasionally be performed, particularly in paper despatches; but in speculating on the reported successes of a campaign against such a powerful adversary as exists in this case, people s Idiom forget that the real eff ec ti ve strength of the exultant party must always be determined by the state cf its commissariat. Now it so happens that the Anti-Corn -law belligerents, notwithstanding their vaunted triumphs, are at present peculiarly chapfallen on account of their destitutio... of the sinews of war. HERALD.—Another night has been d evoted to the dis cussion of Sir Robert Peel's proposition to the House of com mons, that it should record, by a solemn its want resolution elf confidence in her Majesty's present, Government., We are *disposed to feel increased "confidence," on a retrospect at the speeches delivered last evenine:s, iu the nature of the consum mation that is destined to close the debate. Any thing so slippery, so precarious, so equivocal, as the hold which her Majesty's advisers appear to have on the disinterested attach ment or zealous co-operation of their own party in the House, eve do not remember, within our own experience, ever to have "witnessed. Some involuntary ebullitions of impatience, a few transient snatches of unextinguished affection for their com mon country, and an occasional expression of unappeased remorse at their own shameful participation in the guilty uses to which they have concurrei i n prostituting her spirit, and energy, and genius, are features in some receet speeches of Irish Members, 'which cannot escape the attention of a careful ob server. These are indications of evil omen to the despotic chief whom a large proportion of the representatives 4af Ireland have served too long, and followed too implicitly. Then have been eminently guilty of that worst of political 'crimes, selfish faction. This " quality" of their " offence" *rave s the sin almost without extenuation ;it certainly extin luishes every redeeming property that might, were this selfish ness absent, ripen into feelings of nobler excitement and pur poses of loftier mark. The total extinction of all sympathy for the glory or the happiness of England—the avowed jealousy of her institutions, her of her and her respect among thena f he! downfall— the disparagement to • para h a er aednvtaonfcheemrestiatlhe imprecation condition—the s_exe.ggeration of h er po li t i cal deficiencies—a sullen and reluctant homage to her superiority as the principal member in the union of the three kingdoms—alternate reproaches, ut tered in a spirit of the most flagrant ingratitude for her un bounded generosity in recent yeas, as dispayed in the muni firent contributions of her p r i va t e charity towards the relief of our suffering, starving, and homeless countrymen on the - western coasts of Ireland ; and the most importunate and un blushing solicitation of that charity, so often as the pressure of .s imilar distress on their neglected and ill-p ro t ec t e d tenantry 'becomes alarming to the real " aliens" from the whole system of the domestic institutions of Irelands—namely, the polltifal demagogues and adventurers of that kingdom, who sacrifice their time, their hopes, their labours, their abilities, to pur poses of mere personal aggrandisement and official intrigue in London, when they should be devoting them, in their respec tive districts, to the moral and physical improvement of their Compatriots at home. These are the terms of the fatal com pact into which they have entered with the most insolent of pslitical impostors the molt crafty of practical mendicants. POST. —We have frequently endeavoured to impress upon • our readers the great national danger and disgrace which arise from the detertnin a a ss t o itr of Ministers to cling to office after their power has lone nisterial or gar T s p ~f a way. "It is not true," retort the Mi . or, if power had passed from the Govetn , ment party to that of the Conservetives, the lstter, by mears of that power, would have .Messteurs Itlinisterienees, taken possession of office." Softly, Yet: speak of one sort of y our assumption r power which ministers have lt:S t, c !ether th a t w hi c h t h e pre pule . and w_ e of _at . e sent Ministers hav e neve r h a d, i, the pow er to govern- The power to ioid office is anothermatter. - "Vinaie s ie m of . and honour—men deserving the high name of British statesmen—are appointed to office they bold office only so long as they have the power to govern. As soon as the power to govern pi.sses away they voluntarily relinquish office. But if mean men are appointed to office—if men whose chief glory is that of hung successful cour tiers, and who care nothing for constitutional practice when it goes against their own interest—if • men of this character be appointed to official station, their power to govern may be taken away by their opponents and still they remain in office, compelled to do what they themselves condemn 1 This is the condition of the present administration. They do not think it necessary (while they are in office) that the power to govern should settle and determine the constitution of the Go vernment. They know very well that ever since they came into office, in 1835, the plans which they have put forward as the best plans for governing the country have been de feated. Whenever anything has been brought forward as vitally important to the public welfare, it has been surely altered in some of its more material points by the Opposition, er it has been (Heated altogether. This is the power which the Opposii ion hat wielded. This is the power which Govern ment ought to have possessed over the plans of the Opposi tion, but which it has not possessed. Still it must be granted that the Government has had the pow 5r to hold place ; but that is all the power it has had, and that is the very thing of which we complain. MONEY 'MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. POST.—The quotations for the public securities remain undisturbed. Hardly anything was done in either Market the whole of the day, the unsettled state of our public affairs, and the prospect there is of further large emissions of Government paper, still contributing to the general languor that has existed, independently of these and other specific causes of depression that might be enumerated. Money was considered tolerably easy for Stock Exchange purposes. We understand there is no doubt that Messrs. Laffitte and Co. of Paris stand by their contract for the negotiation of the Texan loan, and that books would be opened for subscriptions on Thursday, the 3d instant. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Brighton Gazette.) PORTSMOUTH, Jo/ix 2. —The Implacable, 72, Captain Harvey, and Edinburgh, 72, Captain Henderson, are both re fitting in Plymouth Sound, and, according to private letters, are to form part of a squadron, to cruise during the summer months, and rendezvous at Lisbon. The Acorn, 16, Commander Adams, is detained from pro ceeding to the coast of Africa, awaiting orders. She is daily expected to leave Plymouth for Ascension. The Bellerophon, 7d, Captain Austen, will be dismantled and put out of commission this week. Her crew have been pronounced most effective, as was fully evinced by that dest. uctive fire at the attack en St. Jean d'Acre. The Cornwallis, 72, Captain P. Richards, fitting out in Hamoaze, will be ready to proceed to the East India station in about a month. The Rear-Admiral, Sir William Parker, is gone to Southampton to embark in the Great Liverpool, for Egvot, on his way to Bombay. The brig Nautilus, 10, Lieutenant Beaufoy, is come into the harbour to be paid off, and docked for re-commissioning. It Is rumoured that the Vernon, nO, Captain Walpole, is to proceed to the Mediterranean. Her crew are nearly complete, and her provisions and stores are on board for six months' consumption. The brig Jaseur, 16, Commander Boultbee, has gone into Plymouth harbour from the Barbary coast, to be docked, having been ashore. The Monarch, 84, Captain Clambers ; Indus, 84, Captain Sir James Stirling ; and Vernon, 50, Captain Walpole, remain in state quo at Spithead, the whole wanting a large number of hands to complete. Active exertions are making on board the flag-ship Queen, 110, in this harbour, to complete her as a sea-going ship. She will he ready in about a month ; and her crew will tiro.' be transferred to the St. Vincent, 120, a three-decker of a larger class. The Hastings. 78, may be expected from the south coast of Spain about the end of June, and will proceed to Sheerness. The Court-martial en Mr. Hobb, Assistant-Surgeon of the Indus, 84. for repeate•_i drunkenness, has terminated in his dismissal from her Majesty's service. _ _ In Harbour.—The Queen, Victory, Bellerophon, Dublin, Bittern, Fair Rosamond, Excellent, Royal George yacht, and Nautilus.

NEW COACHES THROUGH THE HIGH LANDS.—On Monday last, two four-horse coaches, in addition to the daily mail, started from Perth, for Inverness, by the Highland road. One of these is the Duke of Wellington, in connexion with the Defiance Companyfrom Aberdeen to Edin burgh and Glasgow, and the other the Princess Royal, by the present mail contractors. Both were got up in first-rate style in every department. The Princess R ut al had the st art o f the road, setting off from the George at half-past five in the morning, and driven throughout by Mr. Davidson, of Tulloeh, a first-rate whip. The Duke of Wellington followed at a quar ter to six, and M.:. Ramsay, of Barnton, held the ribb, ns a considerable part of the way. The Princess Royal kept the lead of the road throughout, and arrived at or soon after half past three, being a pace unexampled, perhaps, for such a di s . tance, in Scotland. - The Duke of Wellington s-t off again on its return at ten o'clock the same evening, and arrived safely in Perth about twelve o'clock next day. The Pr incess Royal leaves Inverness at the same hour of the morning as from Perth. The public have thus every accoromodati:n on the northern road, both as to time and conveyance ; :nt we anti cipate for the ersoing season a traffic proportioned to the op - portun ity. —Perth Courier. DEATH OF THE HON. THOMAS MANNERS Rocs.—The Stradbroke family have been placed in mourning by the demise of the above gentleman, who died on Monday last. The deceased, who had been at Leamington S of Spa with the Dowager Countess of Stradbroke, for the benefitis health, only returned to town last week, in, we understand, far from improved health. He was the youngest son of the late, and brother of the present, Earl of Stradbroke and Lady Louisa De Horsey. DEPARTURE OF THE LORD LIEUTENANT FOR DEVONSHIRE.—An express arrived y esterday forenoon from Castle-hill, Dev o n s hi re , th e sea t of the Earl of Fortescue, mentioning that his Lordship was suddenly reduced by illness so a state of great debility— fo muc h so as 'deeply to alarm his Noble Family for the result.

Yesterday a very numeroui body of the County Magistracy met at the Sessions-house, Clerkenwell-green. Mr. Powuall, in the absence of Mr. Sergeant. Adams, took the Chair. THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION. Mr. EDMONDES read the Report of the Visiting Justices of the House of Correction, which stated that at present there were 1,105 prisoners, exclusive of 24 children, via., 1:101 males and 304 females. The document then set forth that—" The Visiting Justices in their last Report to the Court mentioned that they had directed an applicatibn to the Secretary of State for the Home Department to ascertain if Government in tended to submit a Bill to Parliament enabling the Sessions to grant retiring allowances to aced and des, rving officers ; on which subject the Visiting Justices had received an answer to the effect that it was not the intention of the Government to introduce any Bill to that effect this Session. The Deputy Clerk of the Peace stated, in answer to a ques tion by Mr. Wilson, that the name of the Magistrate who was inculpated by Medhurst was Mr. Henry Marston Dyer, and that his name had been struck out of the Commission. After some discussion about certain alterations in the Coro ner's Court, and the present state of Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, the Court adjourned. SPORTING IN TELLtuENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. THE LATE DERBY AND OAKS.—In our notice of the set tling for these races, we mentioned that one large account wa, altogether unsettled ; giving credit to the statement made yes terday, it would appear that the party had made a 10,000/. book, and on balance was a winner of nearly 2,0001., but hav ing been given to understand that by others, who were heavy losers, he should be minus nearly double that amount, he had used a hasty expression, which was construed into a declaration that he should not be able to settla ' and was so reported at Tat tersall's on Monday. On Tuesd a y, however, he attended for that purpose, but, as might have been expected, one and all refused to pay him, and he left the yard without havingeffected anything t,.- wards an adjustment. He subsequently deputed three of his creditors to settle for him, and the Stewards of the Jockey Club, on the appointees stating that " upon receiving the sums due they were prepared to pay all demands in fall," gave an opinion that " all persons owing money on this account are bound to pay the balance due to the gentlemen appointed to re ceive it." Upon this authority, application was made yester day to the losers, several of _whom paid the money, with this understanding, that, failing a satis'actory settlement, it should be returned. The discussion of this case, and it is a novel one, occupied so much time, that little business was done on events to come off ; we have only to quote the following bets : ASCOT CUP. 6 to 4 agst Mr. Ramsay's Lanercost 3 to 1 agst Mr. Ridsdale's Bloomsbury—taken 4 to 1 agst Mr. Pettit's St. Francis.

The requi s iti o on of the borough o to his Lordship, though onl ti publicly announced 'an Saturday, is already most respect ably signed, an " I: includes the names of as large a portion 0: the pron , : ay and intelligence of the mercantile body a liave ever seen to any similar document. Its progres nitherto has been extremely gratifying to those who ori ginated it, and in no respect more so than in this, that it has received the names of many Nntlemen of Conservative principles, who have taken thil method of showing their concurrence in the commercial policy of her Majesty's Ministers, and their gratitude t,, them for bringing . it forward. The number of signa tures of this description far surpasses our hopes, ant) encourages us to believe that the politics of the coun try are about to assume a more healthy and prac tical character than they have possessed for som, years. In addition to the Conservatives wh, have signed the requisition, we are in possession of th( names of many gentlemen of the same principles who art determined to vote for Lord Palmerston if he should allco% himself to be put in nomination, and these names, we ar, convinced, are only the representatives of a large clas, favourable, in the main, to the p o liti ca l principle: of Lord Sandon and Mr. Cresswell, but not disposed t, sacrifice the obvious interests of themselves and thei families to mere party convenience. Indeed, the mor, we see of the state of public opinion in this town, th( more we are convinced that the battle of commercial reform may be fought hen with signal success. Of the many hundred names already attached to tht requisition the greater portion are those of merchants. shipowners, brokers, and professional men.

THE CORN-JAWS AND THE MINISTERIAL PLAN.—Foremost and chief in the list of wrongs which class legislation has inflicted on the country stand the Corn and Provision-laws—the food monopoly. Markets closing, trade failing, workmen starving, wages falling, provisions rising ; these are amongst the miserable effect ,- of this pernicious monopoly. And for what are the Corn laws upheld ? For the questionable benefit of the landed proprietary, and this to the certain injury of all other classes ! Or are they maintained to secure the relative elevation of the landed interest in the social scale by the depression of the commercial and manufacturing part or the community ? Whatever be their object, the country now groans under their weight. To sutler them to exist much longer will be perraanently to depress the produc tive energies of England ; to endanger the very safety and order of society. lam for the total and immediate abolition of the Corn-laws. Let us have a free corn trade. Let the importation of foreign grain and cattle be restricted by - no duties or impediments. To the attainment of that object shall my energies be di rected, if returned to represent you in Parliament. The relaxation of the Corn-laws proposed by the Go vernment, is a part of a general financial scheme. That scheme has my support on many grounds : first, because it aims a mortal blow at the colonial and landed mono polies under which the country labours--a blow after which these monopolies may linger for a while, but from which they cannot recover, but must ultimately ex pire. Second, because the most successful mode of swelling a revenue raised by duties on consumption, is by increasing the facilities for consumption ; by adding to the supply and lowering the price of the commodities on which the duties for revenue are levied. The admission of foreign sugars at a lower rate of duty would tend to that result, the present rate of duty Jeing such as al most to amount to prohibition. Third, because it pro mises relief to all classes of the people, by its tendency to cheapen some of the first necessaries and comforts of life, to extend the markets for our industry, to add to the demand for, and thereby increase the wages of, labour. Th us the public revenues of the State, and the private revenue of the people would be benefited by the same means, and at the same time.—Mr. Gibson s Address to the Electors of Manchester.

IMPORTANT TO IRON MASTERS. (Alu•idged ii•otn the Mining Journal of the 22d. and 29th May.) (The following only appeared in part of our Morning Edition] : LANOLIN IRON AND COAL COMPANY. The operations of this Company (if prosecuted with • energy) tending to have a considerable influence on the imports into France of coal and iron from this country, and the Company being represented as having arrived at that point, by the development of their coal-field, which justi fies them in considering the propriety of imme diately erecting furnaces for the manufacture of iron, we have availed ourselves of the informa tion rendered by parties interested in the under taking, and more especially Mr. Nixon (the en gineer or viewer), in making notes of the progress made and its present position. We observe, by official returns, that the quantity of English coal imported into France in the past twelve months was 394,954 tons, the value of which may be fairly assumed at upwards of 600,0001., and the exports from Belgium to France, in 1838, are given at about 400,000,000 kilogrammes. The quantity of iron made in France, we find, ranges from 350,000 .tons to 380,000 tons per annum, of which not more than one-seventh is made with coke—the latest return made, we believe, giving twenty-two coke furnaces in activity7which, with a weekly make of fifty tons each, would give but 50,000 tons annually—and the number of furnaces for the manufacture of iron with charcoal being 443, yielding a produce of about 300,000 tons annually. With reference to the consumption of coal, we 'find, from official documents, that, in the year 1838, the quantity of coal raised in France wa..4 3,113,252 tons, and that imported 1,227,030 tons-=-making anaggregateof4,34o,2B2 tons. With these data, and the, Statement embodied in the paper on the Collieries and Iron Manufactures of Belgium, inserted in another column, it will ' be at once seen the influence the development of the mineral resources of our continental neigh bours must necessarily have on this country— and hence our directing attention to this Com pany, more particularly from the extent of its resources, as represented to us. The property possessed by the Company is situate on the banks of the Erdre, about twenty miles from Nantes, the concession or grant being seven miles in length, on the range of the coal veins, which here take a-nearly vertical declina tion, being 80 deg. The veins at present worked, but only partially, are three in number, varying in thickness of from twelve inches to sixty feet, which is the aggregate at the point of junction, the veins having been worked through as one mass of coal in certain parts of the old work ings. The three measures, known as the north, central, and south veins, may be said to be com prehended within a space of about seventy yards, but, as already observed, in some places forming a junction. This coal is said to be the and rior nfe quality.ryi i e e u i d . e s adapted T6hie pneorr i f ci o e i v • net t e olfv m a asrlnveeoeudfikolrft:aar formerly t t uoh u etafi r ei.lil e iiysts‘c. o uyo f p:; ' )nne i , pit w a s s u n fo k u it y the vein y v e a i n onlythes e inter sected eo coal a a p t i f the e t .r o ooa b ml ft.e w 3 awsa tont however,o3 f ft i I 6 e own pth c i mechanical Proprietors, os nA4vi:ivnlstoeeiheirrifaecelwxedttocp; strict of th e Loire iun water having so increased as to impe_ t l e their pro zress, from the circumstance of horses only used for unwatetilg„ the pithy barrels. This pit is now, ho- oever, being cleared of water by the introde • ..ction of pumps, which has been effected othe depth of 200 feet, which are o w l ive d e r by the application of flat-rods to a , powerful engine, erected on another part Of the colliery, where a deep pit, for the " winning" of the three veins, is being sunk. Another pit, called the " Road Pit," was also put down, which took the three veins, forming a " bundle," and workings were prosecuted on the range to the extent of 250 yards, but not to any depth of consequence; the coal at this point, as, indeed, may be said to be the case in other parts of the old workings having rather been partially proved than worked, and therefore still standing as whole ground, with such exceptions as may be found in the present statement. At Pit Emma, which is about twenty yards north-west of the latter, a depth was attained of 400 feet, where the north vein was intersected—the thick ness of which was never astertained beyond the size of the pit, 10ft., 3 in. by 51t. 10in., which was entirely in the coal. In this case, as in the former referred to, on cutting- the coal a feeder of water was met with, which drowned out the workings; and the impracticability, with the power employed, of beating out the water, led to the discontinuance of further operations at this.point. These two latterpits communicate with each other by levels or galleries, driven at the respective depths of 270 and 330 feet. About 800 yards to the north-west of Pit Emma another shaft is sunk to the depth of 3do feet, where the coal was cut by driving a short cross-cut, being found there to be about six feet thick. Want of power, or engineering ability, in like manner, in this case prevented the pit being sunk to a fur ther depth, but which is now preposed to be done. Indeed, with reference to the three last mentioned pits, active operations are being car ried on for draining the old workings, and fur lier sinking the pits, by communicating the one with the other at the lower depths. At about 130 yards further north-west another pit has been sunk 300 feet. This pit intersected the three se veral measures, or veins, at a depth of 150 feet, where the thickness of the seams was forty-five feet, and has been worked to about eighty feet deeper than the point of intersection, but not to any great extent in length. Again, further north-west 300 yards, a pit has been sunk by the present proprietors to the depth of 200 feet, at which depth another feeder was cut, which rendered it necessary to discontinue the working for a time, until extra power was obtained, by attaching flat-rods to the engine ; the thickness of the vein was proved by a cross cut from the shaft, at 170 feet depth, to be twelve feet in thickness, and which remains unworked until the pit-work is completed and the water drained. We have thus been !,ninute in detailing the principal workings, to show the extent to which the colliery may be worked, provided it was unwatered, and that energetic measures be taken for extending the operations, by sinking the present pits to a greater depth, and opening communications by galleries, with the object o affording facility in drawing the water, as also aiding the ventilation. It will be seen that the several veins vary in thickness, as do they in their proximity to each other—at one time giving an aggregate thickness of four or five feet, in others twenty to thirty, and in some instances of fifty to sixty feet. The operations of the present company have hitherto been principally directed to the sinking of a main engine pit, and to the re-opening of the old pits, and applying machinery for unwatering them. The principal pit on which the large en ;Tine is erected, it is contemplated will afford all the facilities necessary for unwateringthegreater Part of the concession, and is at present sunk to ~ he depth of 160 feet, its size (ten feet) being di vided—the one part being employed for pump ing, and the other part as a winding pit. At the depth of 100 feet from surface a cross-cut was driven to intersect the south vein, which proved to be of about three feet six inches, of very supe rior quality, and thus affording another point from which to raise coal, which cross-cut will be conti nued to take the central and north veins—the coal being unworked at this part of the colliery for several hundred yards in extent. The engine is described as being equal to 350 to 400-horse power, being the largest in France, and calcu lated to draw 300 fathoms, being upwards of four times the depth of the lowest present works— the pumps employed varying from six to twelve inches. There are also two other engines, of English manufacture, one 20-horse power and the other 40-horse power. We are given to understand that about 70,000/. has been expended on the undertaking—the ca pital of the company. being 100,0001.—thus leav ing 30,000/. to be called for, which it is intended to apply principally to the erection of the iron works. The assay made of the ironstone which lies at surface, and is said to extend over a tract of four miles, gives 45 to 60 per cent., and an analysis of the coal 84 per cent. of pure carbon. The property is held in perpetuity, and not sub ject to any rent or royalty. We last week directed attention to the opera tions of this company, confining our observations, however, principally to the collieries; as this is the only English company (that we are aware of) formed for the purpose of carrying on the manu facture of iron or working collieries in France, we are glad to avail ourselves of the information which has come before us, and, by the estimates, to see how fir the extension of works of this character in France is calculated to affect our home interests. There can be no doubt but that the successful working of this or other com panies in the manufacture of iron from coke, protected as French production is by tho import duty on castings, and ma . chinery,comhine E d ii'sg'iltilstlithi:cli'eapness of the mate rials and low rate of labour, must, at some future period have a cons id era bl e influence on our ex ports. The m a i n uestion however, appears to be hether - the quality • cif -the -h zn olt so anufac-• and the lured, q w quantity, are likely to supersede the introduction and use of English manufac ture in France. Having preuise4 th 4 much, we shall proceed to make such observations on the " concession " obtained by the Company, and the prospects held out from three ports made on the district, as appear to us to be deserving of attention. The first which comes under notice is that a M. Henri Fournel, Ingenieur des Mines, which appears to have been drawn hp with great care and precision, and affords a striking contrast, we regret to say, to the reports too generally pre sented by English engineers or mine agents--Alial of M. Fournel being clear and comprehensive in its details, the several points for consideration being treated upon separately, and the results readily arrived at, while each subject meets with attention. We wish we could say as much of " reports" at home. Take, for instance, Mr. lioldsworth's Report on the far-famed Talacre coal and iron district, which appeared in our columns—a Report so general, and, indeed, so confused, that it matters little whether it be read backwards or forwards. We must, of course, admit that there are exceptions ) and our Journal of the present week affords A pleas ing instance in the Report of Mr. Matthias Dunn, on the property of the Durham County Coal Company—that gentleman having fear lessly grappled with figures, and given his ho nest and unbiased opinion. Yet, it must be admitted, that our continental neighbours take the lead of us in the association of theoretical science with practical acquirements, and that in obtaining a Report on a mineral district the parties employed combine within themselves a perfect knowledge of geology, mineralogy, che mistry, underground operations, practical mining, and the useful arts generally ; whereas, with our practical viewers or mine agents, it is seldom that .we find them to be possessed of other information than that acquired un derground, and in one locality. The Re port of M. Fournel, to which we have already adverted, in founding his estimates on the pro bable cost of manufacture of pig-iron at Languin, gives a brief outline of the operations ofa Company en contmandite, formed in 1828, with a capital of 60,000/. for working the iron ore which abounds in this district, at La Jahotiere, in the commune of Abbaretz, where iron of superior quality was made; and upon the basis furnished by the ope rations at those works, M. Fournel assumes the cost of iron manufactured at Languin. From the observations of M. Fournel, it, however, appears that the Company, like many others, was grossly mismanaged, and hence its dissolution, and the abandonment of the works—the data afforded is. however, useful, in arriving at the cost of produc tion. The ore used, which was taken exclusively. from the forest of Larche, appears to have cost ' is. 71d. per ton for extraction, carriage, and ren dering fit fur furnace use—that roasted being at tended with an additional cost of 21d. per ton; and, as two-thirds of the crude ore was used to one part of the roasted ore, the medium cost was that of one shilling and eightpence-halfpenny per. ton, which affords a strong contrast to the price at which that article is rendered in this country, the ore of this district, it should be ob served, yielding in the furnace 43-7 , 5 per cent. It may be well to follow this experiment, for, al though cristly, it can only be considered as such, the furnace having been in blast only six weeks. The flux used cost about 2s. 4d. per ton, the greater proportion of 'which was cost of carriage, land the coke was made on the spot from coal ob tained at Monzeil, the cost of which (including ss. 7d. per ton carriage) was 15s. 7d. per ton; the cost of a ton of coke at La Jahotiere was thus found to be 1/. 17s. per ton, while at Languin it is computed that it .would not exceed 19s. 61 It appears, on reference to the books in which the quantities of materials.used were registered, that at the expiration of three weeks from the furnace being put in blast, the charges in eight hours consisted of sixteen of coke, of 440 lbs., being equal to 31- tons ; sixteen of ore, of 880 lbs., or 61 tons; and of flux, the like number, of 220 lbs., or 11 ton, the produce of pig-iron run being 9,1 tons, or about 81 tons in twenty-four hours. The proportions of the quantities of the several mate rials, and their cost in the manufacture of one ton of iron, would, therefore, stand thus— s. d. I ton 2 cwt. 2 cr. coke, at 11. 17s. p - 4. ton 1 74 2 5 0 ore Is. 80. per ton 0 810 0 10 0 flux 2s. Bcl. per ton 0 1 4 Cost of materials on make of one ton of iron 2 6 tti To this should be added, labour, and sundry ex penses, 14s. to ... 0 16 0 Grua amount, mlusive of intereit on capital .3 -2 9-4 Such being the facts deduced from the work ing of the furnace at La alt tLre, we will pro ceed to notice more particularly the property possessed by the, Languin Company, which em braces not only the iron ore thus easily attain able, but coal, which may be raised at a consi derable less cost than that cited in the above cal culation 4,s hereafter shown. The iron deposits of this district, which is pronounced as of great richness-as will be seen in the proportions of nn _.terials above named-produces 43.75 per cent. and is found in great abundance at several points -the nearest is situate about six miles north west of Languin, the ore being described as an oxide hydrate. Several beds, in some instances lying horizontal, resting on schist strata, in others, diffused in a clay, from which it is readily liberated, have been proved, and the cost of the ore upon the spot, including payment to the pos sessors of the soil, does not exceed ls. Bd. per ton. The ore of the forest of Larche, the most distant (nine miles), it is calculated, would cost 45. 9d. per ton delivered at Languin. .Assuming, then, that the collieries of the Company are sufficiently opened to justify the erection of furnaces, and to construct iron works on a commensurate scale, the first proposition is the cost of the materials. It is already stated that the ore is abundant, and can be delivered, .say at ss. per ton, that coke can be rendered at less than 20s. pei ton, and flux at 4s. If a calculation, founded on the preceding figures, showing the results at La Jahotiere, be made, it will be seen 1 that the cost of a ton of pig-iron at Languin will not exceed 2/. - 10 s.; to this again, must be added the cost of trans port to Nantes, which, taken at 21s. 6d. per ton, would make the price, delivered in that market, 3/. lls.• 6d. per ton-but, from other authorities we learn, that from arrange-. ments made by the Company, the cost of trans port will not exceed 10s. per ton, thus making the cost at Nantes about 3/. per ton, being even less than the duty imposed (3/. 7s. Bd.) on English iron. We may here observe, that the price of iron in Nantes may be fairly assumed at Si. 15s. to 9/. ss. per ton, if the following figures be accurate-say, price of pig-iron put on board, 4/. 55., freight and charges 18s., duty 3/. 7s. Bd., commission, landing, and other • charges ss. 6d., profit to merchtint and -interme diate expenses, 5 per cent., or Ss. per ton; this would bring the English pig at Nantes to 9/. 4s. 2d., while the estimate of Languin iron but little exceeds 3/. per ton. M. Fournel advances, as a reason for recom ' mending the erection of furnaces, and the appli cation of the coal to the manufacture of iron, in preference to sale of that article, that the coal produced is entirely small coal--that a part (the dull coal) has an appearance that would always tend to depreciate its price-in the trade-and that these two circumstances united may prove to be a main obstacle to the sale of the coal, when obtained in large quantities-while, on the other hand, the nature of the coal peculiarly adapts it for the manufacture of iron, and from which increased profits would be realised. It would certainly appeAr, from this evidence of M. Fournol, that the main feature, and most important object of the Company, must be the manufacture of iron-thetetbre it is, that imme diate measures are in contemplation of erecting the necessary works, with the view to the pro duction of a compering article, as coke-made iron with that of English make. Having thus considered the position.of the Lan guin Company, with referenceto the quantity and quality of coal at command, as also the abundance and properties of the iron ore, with the cost of the respective materials employed in the manufacture of iron, it becomes necessary -further to institute an inquiry into the prospec tive advantages held out to the capitalist in ac complishing this object. It is hardly necessary to say, that this is taking a view of the subject dis tinct from that proposed in our preceding re marks, but it is an important one as affects the raising of capital in this country for the benefit of other nations. Mining operations, the work ing of collieries or iron-works abroad, is, doubt less, as legitimate a mode of employment of Bri tish capital as the investment in Spanish Bonds or French Rentes, and, therefore, we will for a moment consider how far the erection of iron works by the proprietors of the Languin Com pany is calculated to advance their prospects, and to remunerate them for the capital employed. In the first place, it has been shown that the cost . of pig-iron delivered at Nantes may be taken at little more than 3/. per tun, while the duty on English pigs is 3/. 7s. Bd, and that on castings or machinery considerably more. It is, therefore, manifest that if the quality be equal or approximating to that of English iron, it will come into the market at a price so as to supersede, in a great measure, our products; the price of English pigs being assumed, at the pre sent moment, at 8/. 15s. to 9/. 55., as already stated. The capital proposed to he expended , in addition 'to 75,0004 already outlaid in-the -pur chase of property, and *milting the collieries, is estimated at from 20 7 0001. to 22,0001. We leave to tlicts@ inEeitested to make Left' calculations as to the profits.to be realised, assuming the data here set out to be correct, wiOle it will be our province to callevA ititufmation of the progreEs of tile company, as also of the operations of other establishments of a like nature. PROBABLE SAFETY OF THE iißtsibtistt. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY NIGHT. The greatest excitement has prevaile3 here throughout the day, in consequence of an arrival at this port of the Fortitude, Captain Arbuthnot, from Buenos Ayres, who reports that, when in lat. 47. North, long. 24, 30. West, oil the 25th of May, at five o'clock a.m., saw a very large 'steatites' steering to the north-east, and making but slow progress. she Was without a funnel—with crippled fore-mast,. large paddle-boxes painted dark colour, had a large square topsail set upon the maintop-mast, a topgallant-sail on the foretop-mast, with fore and aft-sails. Captain Arbuthnot sPems positive that the ves • sel seen by him was the President steamer ; she was about ten miles distant at the time. The prevailing opinion here is that the vessel seen was the President, There are, however, others who conclude that it was the Britannia steamer from Boston, now some days over due. It is not unlikely that the Liverpool agents of the President may despatch the British Queen (now in (lock here) in search of the crippled steamer. She ws l l most likely put into the first Irish port she can reach. (Piton A COunEspONIANT.) Liverpool, Half-past sr. as. Wednesday. have just time to say a few words. News has arrived here that the President is safe. She was seen on the 25th of last month in the Atlantic ; and last nigh the Jessie, from St. John's, N. 8., which had been given up for lost for the last three months, and part of the insurance money had been paid, arrived in the River. The news has created a great sensation in the town. There will be another great meeting in Clayton-square this evening. Requititions are being got up to present to Lord Palmerston and Sir Joshua Walmsley to allow themselves to be put in nomination for Liverpool in the event of a dissolution. MORNING 14-7DITION- TORY LILS. THE BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-1 beg to direct your attention to a pita,graph in this day's Morning Herald, under the head of " Election Move ments." The "lies" therein will prove to the public the despe rate shifts to which the Tories are driven to bolster up their rotten cause. _ _ Having inanceuvred (this is the fact) to get rid of Lord Teignmouth because his Lordship would act honestly on the privilege question, and give fearless) , and conscientiously his warm sopport to the Poor-law Act, the "quack' politicians of this borough (the Tory "Local and Constitutional Association" will know what is meant) began to look out for a second monopoly candidate to stand with Mr. B. B. Cabbell. Well, Sir, they hunted high and low for such a person. " All that we want him to subcribe," said the cormorants, "is 2,0001., a mere trifle, we declare, and he is slue to come in." They tried Mr. Hope, M. E'. for Gloucester, but he knew the feel ing of the borough, and declined the honour. A dozer other gentlemen were thought of, but all of them squinted like the gentlemen in George Cruik , hank's Omnibus, and buttoned up their breeches pockets dircetly the name of Marylcbone was mentioned, What was to be done ? The Election Committee held meeting after meeting. To-day one "quack" (of course I am nut personal) was to bring forward a candidate in six or eight hours. They gave him a couple of days. To-morrow came, but it bought no candidate with it. Another adjournment was asked for and granted, but " the Lord help 'em," as poor Paddy would say, no candidate could b " caught." A third adjourn ment (a fact) was earnestly solicited, and, after much squab bling, granted, and yesterday the afore-aid cormorant Election Committee met determined to settle the hash ; some dozen or fifteen persons there were ; I believe they resolved to send a re quisition to Sir James Hamilton ; but if you, Mr. Editor, will look in tLe Morning Herald of this day you will find it gravely stated that a great meeting of the electors was held, and that the requisition to Sir James was numerously signed. All this is entirely false. The only Tory meeting held in Nlarylebnne y,! , sterday was that of the cormorants alluded to, and I chal lenge these " foul birds," or the celebrated (?) reporter who dishes up their food, to affirm that 50 electors could, by any possibility, have been applied to for their signatures to the requisition when the paragraph alluded to was concocted. But, Mr. Editor, will Sir James Cockburn spare his son-in law (Sir James Hamilton) the 2,0001. ? I am, Sir, yours obediently, AN ELECTOR OF THE BOROUGH, AND AN ANTI-MONOPOLIST. Marylebcne, June 3, 1841. • THE GRAND OPEN AIR MEETING IN MANCHESTER. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) This grand demonstration has been viewed, not merely by the A nti- Corn-law League, but by the aristocratic bread -taxers, as a decisive trial of strength. The walls of the town had been placarded for several days with inflammatory appeals to the prejudices of the men against their masters, and calling on the Chartists to muster in all their " majesty," and put down with their " myriad voices" the " humbugs" who were trying to des ive them. These placards (costing hundreds of pounds), have all purported to emanate from the Chartist As sociation—a body without funds, and with scarcely any remain ing organization. A Doctor :tzleigh, an agent from the Duke of Buckingham's Agricultural Association, has also been for some days in Mari chester,,along with Mr. Charles Wilkins, the Tory barrister, who figured with Nightingale at Walsall. ''here is a,report in the Manchester Guardian of to-day, that a cheek: for 1501., signed by the Duke himself, has been cashed at Jones and Lloyd's bank. le this as it may ; money has been poured out With a lavish hand by the brecit-taxers. The neighbouring towns and villages have been visited by the Chartist lecturers, and their whole strength has been summoned for the occasion. This morning the Anti-Corn-law Committee were astonished to find that a large hustings, with a kith and strong barricade in front, had been erected in Stevenson-square during the night, close beside, and a little in advance of, the platform prepared for the speakers at. the meeting. This hustings was taken possession of by a b of police, by the orders of Sir Charles Shaw, to prevent the disorder which would have en sued from two bodies attempting to address the meeting at the same time. Lang before the hour of meeting a knot of Chartists had assembled on the ground, who assaulted the first body of the Anti-Corn-law party as they arrived, and broke their flag. As soon, however, as the main bodies of the repealers, with their bands of music from the different districts of the borough, arrived on the ground, the tables were turned. The Chartists had no flags at. first, but shortly after the meeting had filled the square, estimated to hold 15,000 to 20,000 persons, a large flag, quite new, borne by two men, was carried up to the front of the hustings, followed by a party of Chartists. The flag bore the inscription, " Down with the Whigs—no new Poor law." The party surrounding it was instantly attacked, the flag torn to rags, and the poles broken to pieces. 1 fear a few heads were broken in the fray. From this time the Char tists made no further attempt at annoyance. They saw their weakness and gave the thing up. The speeches of the rei.eal party were listened to attentively throughout ; but the meet ing refused to hear Dr. Sleigh, Wilkins, or the Chartist Bair stow, from Yorkshire. A large gathering of the Chartist leaders, from all parts of the kingdom, was announced in a placard, which gave the names of Pitkeithly of Huddersfield, Binns of Leicester, and others from Bolton, Sunderland, &c., together with some whose address was not given, as Dr. N'Dowall, all of whom promised to address the meeting, but the failure of the attempis of the first of these to get a hearing deterred the rest from making the experiment. Never before was the alliance between the bread-taxing Tories and the Chartist leaders so open and unblushing. They were holding conferences in the public streets, and did not for a moment disguise their co-operation. A more deplorable failure could not be imagined. When the protest against the Corn-laws was put to the meeting only five hands were held up against. After the close of the meeting a proces. sion, more than a mile in length, paraded the town in every direction, amidst the cheers of the people. It ought not to be forgotten that the Northern Star called upon all Lancashire to muster on this occasion, to put down the " humbugs." We shall hear no more of Chartist interruption to the Anti-Corn law party in Manchester; end the aristocracy may give up their hopes of separating the working men from the middle class in the manufacturing districts. A long process of suffer ing, in which both capitalists and operatives are equally in volved, has made them at last begin to unite against the com mon enemy. We have received a third edition of the Manchester Guar dian of Wednesday, which fully bears out the statements of our correspondent. Mr. Cobden was in the chair. The first esolution proposed was brief, but comprehensive, " That the bread tax is impolitic, unchristian, and unjust." An amend ment, by a monopolist, was proposed and rejected by the vast multitude, not more than 20 or 30 hands being held up for it. Mr. Warren, chairman of the Operative Anti-Corn-law Asso ciation, then moved a protest against the Corn-laws, which was supported in short speeches by two operatives, and carried all but unanimously. In concluding this hasty notice, we must say a word or two about the numbers. Nut only was the square . for some time densely crowded throughout its area, but Hilton-street, from the square to Oldham- , treet, and the parts of Lever-street adjacent to the square, as at on each side as the hustings could be seen, were occupied by very consider able numbers of people. Taking the dimensions of the square alone at 100 yards by 35 yards (though this, we believe, is rather below than above the truth), it would give an area of 3,500 square yard,,, which, at three persons to the square yard, would be 10,5+,0 people ; and we should think that there must hate been from twelve to fourteen thousand people present. BATH ELECTION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) It has been po itively determined that Lord Duncan shall stand for Bath in the event of a dissolution, in conjunction with Air. Roebuck, and a requisition, signed by upwards of live hundred electors, has been this day obtained. ICo doubt is entertained by the truly Liberal party, anxious to aid the Government in their good measures for the country, that this coalition of the Whig and Radical interest will l isuccessful in returning to serve in the next Parliament two men who will honestly represent the larger portion of the inhabitants of this city, now mocked by the pretended representation of Lord Powerscourt and Ludl.w Bruges. A public meeting will be held in a few days , and a grand demonstr.ition made to support Liberal Candidates. Bath, June 2, 11541. . TRAGICAL OCCURRENCE. —Yesterday morning, about half-past one, a violent screaming was heard to proceed from the first floor of the house of a hairdresser named Nurle, in Church-street, Blackfriars-road. Shortly after a female threw up the window-sash, and was immediately precipitated to the pavement beneath. She was taken up per fectly insen sible, her skull most dreadfully fractured, and her hands very severely cut. The poor creature was placed in a cab and con veyed to Bartholomew's Hospital, where she expired shortly afterwards. From subsequent inquiries it was ascertained that the unfortunate deceased was a singer at the George, in Char lotte-street, and bad not been home many minutes before the fatal event happened. TfIE PRESIDENT STEAM-SHIP.—On Wednes day afternoon the Br;tish and American Steam Navigation Com pany, in Miter• court, billiter-square, were still without any intelligence of their long-missing ship, the President.

Perha• s, aPhough he did "nut see any person on board." some of the ship's ill-fated crew were lying prcstrate on deck, unable any longer to stand erect, or to war against the hot rors of famine.
