Shareholders.—(Hear hear.) A SHAREHOLDER said he understood that the Com pany were ngfkiri beitird i iiflittn etit, and he begged to liked l' chi' What ? The CHAIRMAN replied, that under the opinion of their legal adviser, they only went to Parliament as a precautionary measure ; they were under very heavy pe nalties to have the works completed at a certain period, and they had placed their contractors, who were both solvent and efficient, under the same penalties, and he had no doubt but the works would be finished at the time specified—(lleac, hear)—hut under all the circum stances it was thought more advisable that they should take protection through Parliament. A resolution having been passed adopting the Report, and declaring a dividend of four shillings a share, and thanks given to the Directors, the meeting separated. THE LONDON AND BLACKWALL RAILWAY. Yesterday a Special General Meeting of the London and Blackw all Railway Company was held at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of raising additional funds, and of determining the manner in which that should be done. Wit. ROUTH, Lsq., Chairman of the Directors, in the Chair. Mr. J. WAItMINCTON, the Secretary, having read the ad vertisement converting the meeting, The CHAIRMAN stated that by the Act of Parliament the Company was authorised to• raise a further sum of 150,0001. by shares, and 50,000/. either on debentures or by shares. The Directors had considered it necessary to raise 200,000/., and this meeting was convened for considering the best man ner of raising this money, with the least possiole detriment to the Company. The Company were authorised to raise 50,0001. by debenture or shares. Considering the present depressed state of the Money Market, and that the Act of Parliament would not allow the pa)ment of more than 5/. per cent. inte r est, it was, in fact, impossible to raise that sum by debenture, the Directors, therefore, after much consideration, had come to the determination of asking the Proprietors for what appeared to be very much in the shape of a subscription, viz., to propose that they should take amongst themselves 24,000 shares, of the reputed value of 25/. each, but for these they should only pay 81. 6s. 8d in the following manner :—That was to say, 21. 6s. Bd. on the delivery of each share, and that the remain ing 6/. should be paid in three instalments of 2/. each, at in tervals of three months. What the Directors wished the meet ing to do, was to authorise the issuing of these 24,000 shares 1 on the 6th of August. As the General Meeting of she Pro prietors would take place in about one month, he (the Chair man) would take this opportunity of informing gentlemen pre sent, that at that. meeting he should be ab'e to lay before them all the details connected with the expenses incurred, &c. Be fore sitting down, he begged to remark that a vacancy had taken place in the Direction of the Company, by the re signation of Alderman Humphery ; and it was not the inten tion of the Directors, at present, to recommend the filling up of that vacancy. The Report was then read by the Secretary, but it contained no facts besides those stated by the Chairman. Mr. Goanssin said he wished to ask whether one half the sum proposed would not be sufficient? The Chairman had slated a long time ago that 10 per cent. profits would soon be divided amongst the Proprietors. He wished to know why that had not been done. He believed that 50,000/. had been expended in law expenses. Now, much as he had heard of railway extravagance, this certainly did appear to him to be the most profuse case of exlnditure he had ever heard of. He should like to have this explained before mote money was g; anted. And, lastly, could not the Directors wait some time longer for the money ? The state of the money market would no doubt improve, and why should the shares be offered at so depreciated a rate ?—( Hear. ) The CHAIRMAN said he certainly had anticipated that some profits would have been divided ere this time. He had hoped the extension line to Fenchurch-street would have been opened in April. He had also, perhaps, expected more of the steam boat traffic than he had a right to have expected. He believed that no Director had sold a single share ; and he thought the benefits of the steam -boat traffic would not be developed until the extension line were completed. And besides this, owing to the frequent breaking of the rope which took place at first persons were afraid, not only to travel, but also to trust their goods on the line. He was happy to say now, however, that they had got a large portion of wire rope on the line, which had been in use for ten months, and had never broken. The whole of the line would soon be supplied with the wire rope. The law expenses had unquestionably been heavy ; but if gen tlemen would look at the details they would see that the Di rectors had not been wanton in going to law. The chief ex penses were iu the conveyancing, where there were upwards of 2,000 properties to pass from hand to hand. The Solicitors were most anxious that their bills should he taxed, and exa mined by other parties. He thought the whole of the 200,0001. would be required, and immediately. Mr. J. WisuAw wished to know what would be the posi tion of those Shareholders who refused to take the new shares. Would they have the same interest as other Shareholders ? and what would be done with the declined shares? The CIL% inst Arr to the first question answered that those who did not take the shares should have the same interest and power as the others. He did not. think there would be any declined shares, but if there were he would offer them to those Proprietors who would take them.--( Hear.) Mr. WoLvE wished to know what were the prospects of this railway. He had been on the Continent and heard it called a complete failure. Mr. SALostorts (a Director) took that opportunity of ea pressing his opinion on the subjects proposed by his brother Directors. It was always an ungracious thing for Directors to ask Proprietors for an advance of money. The Directors had, however, found that 200,000/. must be raised to get rid of all obligations hanging over the Company ; they had de layed asking for money as long as possible, until they could wait no longer. The Directors themselves were all person ally liable to large amounts; and he thought it much better to raise the whole of the money at once. The shares had been put at a low price, not because they were invaluable, but with a view of insuring there being taken, and that Proprietors might obtain a profit commensurate with the risk they had run. With regard to the prospects of this ' Railway he had paid much attention to that subject, and he was now prepared to state, as his firm opinion, that nothing could detract from the principle of working by wires; he had gone amongst the working men and he had studied the ques tion closely, and he was confident that the syste of working by wires would be found to be almost perfect. If any Railway should give satisfaction to the proprietors it was this one..— ( Hear, hear.) When the Railway should be completed to Fenchureh-street he was sure the increase both in passengers and goods would be very great, and that when they met this time 12 months the circumstances of the Company would be found to be in a different state ; the present weekly income now exceeded a thousand pounds, and the expenses were 425/. per week ; there was no doubt that the concern would pay if the Proprietors would only support the Directors at this time. Captain PAYNE wished to know when the extension line would be finished, and what would be the amount of tonnage. The CHAIRMAN expected the line would be finished by Monday week —certainly not later than the end of the present month, but heavy goods might not travel on it for some months ; he could not say what would be the extent of ton nage, he knew that goods could be conveyed by the railroad much more expeditiously and at considerable less expense than by cartage. Mr. STEVENSON, the Engineer to the Company , s aid he should recommend the Directors to postpone the carriage of goods on the new line for three months. A PROPRIETOR would like to know how much the expenses of the line would be above the original estimate, and what money had been received from the traffe. The CHAIRMAN believed the actual sum required to came plete the work would exceed the original estimate by about 200,000/. From the 6th of July, 1840, to the 30th of June, 1841, the number of passengers that had travelled on the line was 1,848,156, and the money the Company had received from passengers and goods during that time was 32,657. A P.sorairrom was desirous to know whether the line was calculated for the transit of heavy goods. Mr. STEVENSON said his intention in designing this line was to make it permanent. and strong, so as to carry any weight ; he believed that object had been obtained. The CHAIRMAN stated that a great many applications had been made for the arches under the railway, and he believed those near town would be very valuable. He then put the ques tion, " That the Report be received and adopted," together with the following resolution, which was carried unanimously, viz. :—" Resolved—That this Meeting do order that the sum of 150,000/., by the Act of 4th Victoria, cap. 12, authorized to be raised by this Company, by creating new shares, be raised accordingly. And that the further sum of 50,0001., which by the said Act this Company are authorised to raise either on mortgage or bond, or by creating new shares, instead of bor rowing the same. be also raised, and that the sums of 150,0001. and 50,0001., maknag together the sum of 200,000!., so to be raised as aforesaid, shall be divided into shares of such an amount, and the call; to be made thereon shall be of such amounts, and payable at such times, as the Directors for the time being of this Company, shall think fit." Mr. GEORGE RENNIE, M.P, wished to know the reason of Mr. Humphery's resignation of his Directorship. The CHAIRMAN said Mr. Humphery had sold shares which he did not possess. A meeting of the Board was calls din consequence, and Mr. Humphery's resignation ,imme..iately followed. Mr. RENNIE then.rose, and animadverted strongly upon Mr. Humphery's conduct, and persisted (very much against the desire of the Chairman, Mr. Salmons, and the re,t of the Directors) in moving a resolution upon the subject highly con demnatory of that gentleman's behaviour. The motion, on being put, was carried with slight oppo sition. A vote of thanks was then passed to the present Directors, which the Cnairman acknowledged, and the meeting broke up. li,a4 Is : i t:Wl - CH.

A dissolutio n on an y ~ile~tlnn, In 4fit4t the landowners of England deem them selves vitally interested, gtl'el colqur to the county representation. Many of the most zeildui 'Whig, are also the most determined advocates of corn doff& ply. Lord Western, fur instance, believes, conscienti ously no doubt, that with a fixed duty of eight shillings a quar ter flit win itt, landlords in England would receive no rent, and all the tenants would be drimt to t the workhouse. As far, therefore, as the county representatiod coiicertMds there may be said to be but one party. Out of 139 6.014 Metnbero, there have been returned 22 who are not Tories ; bid We have no doubt that some even of this small number of 22 might SAO been thrown out by the Tories, had a contest taken place. In England the landowners represent themselves in the counties ; for the tenantry are merely channels through which the land owners convey their will. In the smaller borougs in agricultu ral districts, the landowners and parsons, who are, in faCt, iden tical, have also necessarily much influence. 'f hat influence is partly counter acted by the venality of those who are in posses sion of the ft anchise; for the needy voter is determined by the weightiest bribe, and it may not always happen that the Tory candidate can command the heaviest purse. Eng lishmen have been so long accustomed to sell themselves, that bribery is almost considered a legitimate source of income. So long as parties are equally divided, or nearly so, it must in crease rather than diminish. One good will result from the present election. It did not require the evidence it has afforded to satisfy reflecting persons that in England the landowners have a preponderating influence in Parliament. But many well meaning persons, nevertheless, in judging of the conduct of Ministers, made no • allowance for this circumstance. These persons can no longer refuse to admit that if Ministers had pro posed an alteration in the Corn-law, they would have thereby handed over the Government of the country to their opponents. So long as the landowners remain persuaded that a free trade in Corn will affect them injuriously they will compel any Ministry either to retain the monopoly or to resign. The other classes have not the power, in the present stare of the representation, to support any Ministry de:ermined to place themselves in opposition to the landowners. So far the Char tists have proved themselves more accurate calculators than the middle classes. Whether their nostrum would have mended matters is not now the question ; but the result has shown that they were correct in their opinion, that in the present state of the representation it was vain to think of a repeal of the corn monopoly. The landowners have proved, by the present elec tion, that they can command a majority of the House of Com mons in favour of monopoly. But political power in this country, tt.ough it resides in a comparatively small class, can only be exercised by the sufferance of the masses. Measures grounded on false and ruinsus principles cannot, by majorities of the House of Commons,be preVented from producing ruirrous effects. DIES.—No man, whateier his past services may have been, can escape the bitterest obloquy ; no measures, whatever ostensible character they assume, can obtain the confidence of the people, if they bear the marks of private or party interest. The men and measures now before the country exmplify the truth of this principle. They are men who were borne into power a few years back by general acclamation ; they are measures which their authors falsely describe as a panacea for those evils which press most heavily on the working classes. Yet the people repudiate them with universal and unmitigated scorn, because they know that these ate the t.icks of a party put forward by the tools of a party. The people also know that the great interest of the community are more carefully looked to and more ably promoted by the statesmen who seek .to govern the country upon fixed co. stitutional principles than by men who will abandon all principles so they be allowed to govern the country. In which of the two great political camps does the odious and selfish spirit of a class ma nifest itself most conspicuously ? The one consists of men who are struggling to defend their monopoly of power, in op position to the great bulk of those possessing the distinctions of honour, education, and wealth ; the other of men who de mand, and not in vain, that the welfare of the country should be rescued from the experiments of a clique of place hunters, and consigned to the tutelary care of those who are indissolubly connected with the best interests of the whole community by the ties of property, by traditional in fluence. and by the ancient principles of the English constitu tion. The Whigs have made a violent effort to identify their political existence with the interests of the nation, and they ap. peal to the passions of the populace to support their exclusive pretensions. The Conservative party appeal with more sue- . cess to the reason of the electoral body to determine whether they or their antagonists are most deeply concerned in the de fence of those general interests, to which their own interests as landowners, merchants, and men of note and substance, are at once united and subservient. POST.—If there be any person about the present Court, having enough of true devotedness to her Majesty, to prefer her Majesty's interests and the permanence of her sway over a grateful people, to the temporary advantages of the Whig-Radi cal faction, that person cannot but regard with some alarm and with great indignation, the use—the insolent use—which these Whig-Radicals make of her Majesty's name. Beaten in the House of Commons, beaten in the House of Lords, beaten by the people at the elections, and in England especially, beaten by an immense majority, they yet presume to declare that the Royal judgment and fsveur are entirely with them. Dis owned by every other great authority in the realm, they have the audacity to proclaim—we mean their newspapers have, that. her Majesty will take their side against the Parliament and the people, and help them to recover that sway which the House of Lords, the House of Commons. and the people have all declared them unworthy to possess. This is, indeed, carrying factious selfishness, and insolent disloyalty, to a pitch never before ex hibited in this country; by persons who professed some regard and deference for monarchical authority. What can be more disrespectful—what more audacious, than the attempt of these beaten politicians to make a party tool of their Sovereign ? What can be more disloyally selfish than their attempt to iden tify the Sovereign with themselves, at the very moment that the people are showing in all directions how completely they distrust, and how thoroughly they despise them? And yet it is at this very time, when the people are declaring by their votes for the overthrow of the Whig-Radical Govern ment, and the substitution of a Conservative Government in its place, that these Whig-Radicals openly assert, through their news; apers, that her Majesty the Queen is " hostile " to that species of Government which is desired by the two Houses of Parliament, and by the people. It has sometimes happened in other reigns ; and inde‘ d not very remote from the present time, that the Sovereign was supposed by many to wish that Tory politics were in favour with the nation, at the time that Whig or Whig- Radical Ministers were carrying on the Government. But it never happened under such circumstances that the Tory newspapers boasted of the Sovereign being on their side, and hostile to that sort of Government which the people of England preferred. No; the Tory journals, whatever other faults they might have, were too re spectful to their Sovereign to treat him as a party tool. They were well aware that it must be injurious to the Sovereign to hold him forth to the public as hostile to that Government which the national determination made it necessary to employ ; and whatever they might suspect of the Royal preference, as an individual, they did not presume to make a public use of that supposed preference, in order to serve the purposes of party. This delicacy was no more than their duty. We do not ask any praise for it ; but we do ask for the gravest indig nation when conduct exactly the opposite is pursued by the beaten Whig-Radical party. HERALD.—The expression of the public indignation still bursts in thunder upon the devoted heads of the Whig-Radical candidates wherever they . show themselves. A sentence of distrust and rejection—stern, decided, and incessant, is pro nounced through the returning officer at almost every hustings in the kingdom. The unfortunates seem to present them selves as if with no other object but to challenge arid to bide the pitiless pelting of the storm. If, lore and there, some luckier individuals of band of distrusted servants wearing the Whig and Whig-Radial liveries, do happen on a sunnier spot and a more pleasanegreeting, such "pleasant places" are thinly and re mutely scattered over the frowning region which the main body is compelled to traverse, with the desperate object of attempting to get themselves " employed , " and re turned to " places " in Parliament by the several constituencies whom they have to solicit. At the time we write this, about PI!, gains on the gross . returcs in favour of the Conservative can didates- pro claim to the partisans of her Majesty's dissolving Administra tion, tidings which herald nothing to them but the vanity of their protracted struggle, the certainty of the r approaching dismissal from the grateful cares of patronage and office. In the meantime they manifest the most desperate activity in the efforts they make to avert or to delay their sen tence. They well know that the most lenient mood into which the public can be no* propitiated by all their arts will scarcely sentence them to a less term of trans portation—from power—than twenty-one years, or the term of their natural lives. But with that tenacity of office which has always been their most distinctive characteristic, they still labour as hard, and as unscrupulously to misinform and deceive the public as if they had a lease of their seats,—which many of them have yet to win,—of theirappointments, to which ma•iy arc destined never to return. No matter.—They impute to their successful competitors for the prize of public favour and confi dence, views the most absurd in themselves, the most unfounded in fact. They attribute to their policy, and their measures all the blunders and disasters which have been displayed in the I government of the empire during the last half century ! And, (strange to say !) in every case where the evidence of all expe rience,—the practical proofs of public incompetency and minis terial misrule—are most conclusive and permanent against the , Whigs, they charge the catastrophe with unhesitating assur ance on the Tories :—(for we adopt their own generic terms for all the varieties of political opinions that can be classed under one general loofession of party faith). ADVERTISER.—As the period is so near at hand, which will witness the transfer of the Liberal party from the Minis terial benches to those on the opposite side of the House, it is desirable that the course which they intend to pursue in their new character of an opposition, should be distinctly chalked out and understood without a moment's delay. The rock on which Ministers have made shipwreck of themselves as a Go vernment, while blasting the fondly-cherished hopes of an over confiding, because too generous people, is that of a practical , adoption of Lord John Russell's principle of finality. lf, in stead of declaring in words, and showing by their actions, that they were determined to arrest the further progress of Reform, and to pursue—if there be not an absurdity in the expression— a stationary policy, they had kept pace with the progress of pub lic opinion, and embodied in their measures the spirit of the age, the overwhelming majority of two hundred which carried with a resistless moral, as well as numerical force, all the lead ing measures of the Reform Government of 1832, would never have diminished at all, far less would it have decreased to amino rity of one, as it did at the closing scene of the last Par liament. In common with most of our Liberal Conternpora ries we have again and again, in a great measure, ascribed the disastrous Jesuits of the recent elections to the defective state of the Liberal registries. But the question then comes to be—Why this defective state of the registries? The an- I swer is obvious. The Ministry had deceived—we do not' like to say betr iyed—the people. They had practically falsified all the professions they had made of a determination to adopt a decidedly Liberal course of policy, on the faith of which the people of England had borne them triumphantly on their shoulders into office. The result was precisely what might have been expected. GLOBE.—If we are to believe the Conservative press, nothing could possibly Le more popular just now than the emablishment of a Conservative Ministry. It is declared that the Whigs have forfeited the favour of the people, and that the Tories have obtained it to a degree which renders their advent to power the most delightful anti cipation in which the nation can indulge. The allega tion that Sir Robert Peel is the Minister for the people requires all the reiteration his journals bestow upon it, before the ear gets accustomed to the strangeness of the . sound. Like the sign-painter, who thought it necessary . to write conspicuously beneath a figure he - had daubed, " This is the Red Lion," so, on looking at the political features of Sir Robert, the Conservative practitioners of the daubing art feel the expediency of letting the world know—that of which it would otherwise never dream — that their pet subject is designed for " a popular Minister." Now it is tolerably dear that if the Whig Goverment has lost some of its friends, the loss has ar:s , n from its inability to do all that it has desired to accomplish against the opposition of its enemies. If the Whigs have lost popularity by not haying done enough in the way of reform, how are the Tories to gain popularity by lloing nothing ? Perhaps Sir Robert Peel—whose partiality for the " sliding scale " induces him to use it not only to guide the price of corn, but to regulate his principles--may endeavour to outbid The Whigs in their own coin, and thus attempt to pur chase favour by the exhibition of the false glit ter of liberality, an article of which, it will, h owever, soon be found, on inspection, that he possesses' only the counterfeit. Besides, he will not be able to maintain his balance ; for the moment he shows the smallest in clination to lean towards the Liberal scale, there will be a falling-out on the other side, whose weight, being diminished by disunion, will cause his own party to kick the beam and throw him over. Sir Robert has de clared in his Tamworth speech that he shall begin by ask ing a vote of confidence. It will certainly be m ore likel y to be accorded to him before his Ministerial career has commenced, than after he has once embarked in it. There is 7 , 0 harm in his asking for a round of applause before he b eg Lis, though he may be hissed off the stage in the midst of his pert,,- stand has been by some, the o;: stand that he ha.. iven . loudly called for. Perhaps he . nee. His friends would give us to under of principles, who have put - :11111-• redoubledaenndertgye at a time when the apathy of some .tvl2formesrrtsue.t forh disappointment of Others presented an opp , - i-sYcend fim inveterate enemies of Li effecting at least a temporary restitution of Tory ancy. There is, however, no positive reaction in nation, as when the real sense of the nation comes to be ascertained will be perfectly obvious. • STANDARD.—The twentieth is near at handt three days remain to confirm the ascendancy of COtt= servative principles for many years to come. Let not an hour of the brief interval be lost. The great con test now approaching to its close has made Conserva tives acquainted with each other, . and informed them of their strength when united. Let them, while the memory of that •contest is recent, and its impression strong, render the union permanent. W herever a Conservative Association does not already exist let one be formed upon the instant., and let the existing associations redouble their energy. The faithful men of Waterford have shown what may be done in even less than three days, and if our advice be taken, if the four or five Conservatives who shall first read these lines everywhere proceed at once to form an association, and to act prudently and perseveringly for a very few days, the Conservative v ictor y that has been won will be a victory for ever, and the great interests of the nation, religious, political, and Commercial, placed for ever beYond the reach of danger. We know the value of an Englishman's time ; we know how reluctantly the men of this country withdraw themselves from the domestic pleasures: which they enjoy in a degree above any other men on earth, and from that honourable industry in which they distance all mankind ; we are, therefore, always slow to summon them to political activity. But they owe something to the Protestant religion and to their country, and nobly have they already, in part, dis charged the debt. Now is the time to complete its liquidation. . Now they can, without any permanent expense of time, by the exertion of a very few days only, render secure their great triumph, which, if the oppor tunity be neglected, must be left to some extent preca rious. Again we say, let a Conservative society be formed instantly wherever it is wanted—four or five members will serve for a beginning—and let the existing societies resume their work with vigour—" strike the iron while it is hot." MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM TEE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIM ES.—There was a report some time ago that the Bank of Marylebone, in Cavendish-square, a joint-stock establish ment, had stopped payment, but this does not seem to be ex actly correct, although the directors have determined to wind up the concern. It-is said, that parties having accounts with the bank have the option of I eceiring the balances in cash, or of transferring them to the London and Westminster Bank. The winding up of this bank will not produce army sensation, as it was aconcern of no magnitude whatever, and would scarcely have been observed in the City at all had not the rumour of its stoppage been spread at the time of several other faiiures, so that it contributed, though hut in a slight degree, to spread a gloom over the Money Market. The Bombay Chamber of Commerce published, just be fore the departure bf the last overland mail, a circular bearing on the subject of the expedition to China. to settle our dis putes with that nation, and the vacillating policy adopted by our Government officials out there. It takes a comprehensive view of the whole affair, but, as the facts enumerated have been freely canvassed among the City merchants and others in the same spirit, it is not necessary to notice it at any length. It may be observed, that the Bombay merchants are fully con vinced of the great mistake Captain Elliott made in withdraw. ing his force from the vicinity of Pekin before any negotia tion was concluded to secure something like an effective ar rangement. They state that their trade has suffered much throngh the delay which attends the settlement of these diffi culties, and that produce and exchanges have fluctuated exten sively, not only producing evil effects there, but also in the leading markets at home and elsewhere. CHRONICLE.—The continued unfavourable state of the weather creates some uneasiness respecting the harvest, and though all parties agree that no damage has yet occurred, still the speculators in corn have commenced operations, and orders have been sent to the continent for the purchase of grain at " limited" prices. 'rhe high price, however, of grain abroad renders it not very likely that these purchases will be made, unaccompanied as the orders are by any shipments of specie. Unless, therefore the present unfavourable weather should con tinue, we do not anticipate any derangement of, or interference with, the currency on this mount. We refer our readers to that portion of our Correspondent's letter from Philadelphia, signed " Publicus," wherein it will be perceived, that the important measure respecting the dis tribution of the public lands among the States has a powerful advocate in slr. Clay. Should this m easure pass, it mouse have a favourable effect on State Stocks, thereby placing those capitalists in Europe, who are so deeply interested in American State Securities, in a comparatively easy position. POST. —As the Committee of Spa nish Bondholders have been blamed for the lukewarm spirit in which they are repre sented to have re - rived the offer of the Madrid Government of the national properties of Spain , in exchange for coupons, on the pr , poser: capitalisation of dividends at thre e p er cent., we think it right to lay before the public a le tter from Lord Pal merston in answer to one addressed to him in 1836, relative to the probable security of purchasers holding confiscated domains in Portugal under a similar arrangement : " Foreign-office, April 16, 1836. "Sia—lam directed by Viscount Palmerston to acknow ledge the receipt of your letter, dated the let instant, in which you state that you are about to invest a considerable sum of money in the purchase of natitnal property . in Pot tugal, and that you are anxious to know whether, to case of any change in the dynasty of that kingdom which might lead to the promulgation of laws annulling the sales and purchases in question, the British Government will secure to their subjects a protection from the effect of any such laws. Lord Palmerston directs me to acquaint you in reply, that he must decline giving any opinion upon this subject. It is a matter upon which you must exercise your own judgment, and act upon your own responsibility. " I am, Sir, your most obedient, bumble servant, " To —, Esq , Lisbon." J. BACK HOUSE. A declaration has been signed by Baron Biome, on the part of the Danish Government, and Lord Palmerston on the part of this country, to the effect, that having examined the tariff of duties not enumerated in the tariff of . Ch of 1645, which has been drawn up band. APGregur, her Majesty's Consul at Elsineur, MM. Wessel and Olrik, Translator and Controller of the Danish Custom House at the Oresound, the rates of duty specified in that tariff shall be adopted for the space of ten years to come, eommencing from June 15, 1841, and, further, until the end of twelve months after either of the respective Governments shall have given notice to the other of its intention no longer to abide by the agreement. The tariff provides for the pa% ment at the Sound in rix dollars specie, equal to two six dollars in paper, of duties at rates corresponding to one per cent. ad valorem tinder a special arrangement of quantities and of values. Barilla, for instance, which has heretofore paid an impost of six givers per 3001b5., valued at five rix dollars, will, in future, pay three stivers ; coffee and cocoa, wilich have paid 24 stivers the 1001bs.gvalued at 12 rix dollars, will pay six stivers ; cotton stockings, which have paid 30 stivers per 50 pair, valued at 12i rix &Dais, will pay six stivers, half (or children's) rating at 101) pair to the same valuation ; raw sugar, which has paid nine stivers per 100Ibs., valued at 10 rix dollars will pay five slivers. Further particularisation is needless, the general charge being founded, as we have stated, upon the uniform prin ciple of one per cent. ad valorem on a modern estimate of value. The rate leviable on some half dozen ar ticles of minor consideration remains the same. The coin in which the said dues, light-money, fees, and other charges at the Sound are collocted, is the rix-dollar specie, of which 9i constitute, and will for the future, he held equal to, one mare fine silver, Cologne weight. It is understood between the. centracting authorities, that the rates of duty determined upon, subject to ratification shall also be levied,in the Belts. It is calculated that this adaptation of the old rate of one per cent. ad valorem to the greatly reduced price of merchandise, which had, however, become unavoidable, will diminish the public revenue of Denmark by about fifty thousand pounds per annum, an object of some importance to so poor a country.

GOSPORT RAILWAY, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 15.--Thia morning, between four and five o'clock, a I part of the tunnel at Fareham, on the unopened railroad from Gosport to Bishopstoke, fell in. The length destroyed is from forty to fifty yards. It was occasioned not by the direct weight of the superincumbent earth, but by a side pressure created by a mass of earth slipping off on the side of the tunnel. It was contemplated to open this to the public almost imme diately, and Sir Frederic S m ith:was on his road toiospect it. on behalf of the Board o f Trade. It is:teared that thit aitcident will retard the opening for a considerable tirne—pr*aps two months.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. July 15. (Before Sir C. F. WILLIAMS.) THOMAS SAUNDERS CAVE'S BANKRUPTCY —THE CORNWALL AIINING SPECULATIONS. This was a fiat which was originally directed against the bankrupt to be taken before the local Commissioners at Wal mer, near Dover, hut was. upon a petition presented to the Court of Review, referred to the London Courts for investiga tion. The sitting to •day was fur the choice of new assignees. The bankrupt is described as a " merchant," but his dealings were principally in Cornwall mining shares, and it appears he was connected with the mines called Trevarthen Downs, Wheal Fortune, Rospeath, Wheal Friendship, Owen Vean, and Wheal Prosper. The first subject brought under the consideration of the Court was the taking of the proofs of parties who had advanced moneys to the bankrupt to carry on his mining operations. Sir. Romilly appeared as counsel on behalf of the Rev. James Ellice to prove for 15,0001. upon a bond for moneys advanced to the bankrupt. After a short inquiry the proof was then allowed. The claim of Colonel Rushbrooke, M.P., for nearly 36,00 t/., was then brought forward by Mr. Romilly. He said he also understood that this was to be opposed on the same grounds as the other proof ; but he thought ho should state such a clear ease to the Court, that there could not be a doubt as to the right of the gal.ant Colonel to prove for the sum stated. To show how the connexion arose between Cul. Rushbrooke and the bankrupt he read a letter, the precise date of which was not named, but it was within the year 1838. It began by the bankrupt addressing the Colonel as " My dear Colonel," and proceeded to state that each of his mines was a distinct, separate interest, that their productive ness could net fail to ensure large profits to the shareholders, and that it was with a view to benefit his immediate friends 't he kept the shares within a " select circle," and out of T t i ll ; re, :11 of all stock-jobbing adventurers. It also stated that ` -bus fact that the product of copper never equalled it was a cur,. the demmd ovt : suppose in allusion to some of the mines), " that it ought also to be borne in sinsi concluded by stet: enriching themselves out of the mind that while they wet,. ti :ey were by the exercise of bowels of mother earth," -bloyment, to thousands of Iri k . their capital and works giving vise be in the greatest their fellow-creatures, who would other,. possible distress and wretchedness. (This letter excited a great deal of laughter., . uted that Mr. Anderton said he believed that it was not the bankrupt had acted dishonestly or fraudulently, t that, he on the contrary, he could give an account of every penn y had received in respect to these transaction'. His views as to the results had unfortunately proved erroneous. Sir C. F. WILLIAsts did not know how it would turn. All he could say was, it appeared that the bankrupt had raised 366,000/. through these mines. Mr. Romilly, in continuation, said that Col. Rushbrooke did not seek to prove for 40,000/. in respect of shares which he held, but confined his proof to three sums, which were ad vanced fur the bankrupt, and composed the 36,0 0 0 1 . before stated. Each of these sums were advanced for a particular purpose, and might be briefly stated as follows the first case, the demands which the Reverend Mr. Ellice made upon the bankrupt to repay part of his advances were stated by the bankrupt to Colonel Rushbrooke to have thrown him into temporary difficulties, and he asked the Colonel to enter into a bond jointly and severally to pay Mr. Ellice 10,000/., which he (the Colonel) did, and which he had subsequently to pay ; that was the first sum. The second was for another 10,0001., and arose out of these circumstances :—The bankrupt's private bankers were Messrs. Stone, Martin, and Stone, of Lombard-street, and he owed them about this time a balance of 13,000/., which they required him to pay. He could not do it, and Colonel Rus brooke gave a bond to Messrs. Stone and Martin, to pay the sum of upwards of 10,0001., which he did. The third sum was composed of four bills of exchange, which Colonel Rushbrooke • had accepted for the bankrupt, one of which was not at pre sent in court, but would be forthcoming when required; two were for '2,5001. each, and two for 5,0001. each. These the Colonel had to take up, the bankrupt forfeiting his word, that he would be ready to meet them when they came due. These facts were, he (Mr. Romilly) thought, sufficiently clear to entitle Colonel Rushbrooke to prove. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS thought so too. Proof was admitted for principal and interest. Mr. Anderton said, lie was sorry to hear that one of the best of the mines, in consequences of the little confidence of the shareholders, had been sold for a few thousands, and was now worth eight or ten times that sum. Sir C. F. \V ILLIAMS said, it had certainly gone from the creditors. It was the " Godolphin" mine. There was, how. ever, to be a private sitting to investigate that affair, not that it was to be supposed that it was such a mine of wealth that the proceeds would pay off the national debt. With respect to mines in general, he had had a good deal of experience on the western circuit, and he was told that if the whole mines of Cornwall were consolidated they would not pay 5 per cent. Mr. Anderton said, that there was unfortunately a great deal lost in them, but some of them " turned up trumps." He knew a highly respectable physician who placed confidence in these undertakings. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS said, some paid a profit for a time, but the shareholders were ultimately involved. A bill of exchange for 5,000/. was then tendered for procf by two parties who had discounted it for 4,500/. It was ac. cepted by the bankrupt and a person named M`Donald, and endorsed by a Mr. Hassey. The proof was admitted. The debts proved, besides those enumerated, were not ferany :e amount. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT, Hertford. July 16. CROWN COURT. (Before Air. Sergeant TAnny.) "illiam Stratford, aged '2l, sas indicted for a rape on Ann Jarvis. Mr. Ryland, by direction of the Court, examined the witnesses in behalf of the prosecutrix, and Mr. Wordsworth defended the prisoner. The prosecutrix, who gave her evidence and conducted herself in the witness-box with great propriety, stated that she resided with her father and mother at Tring. In the evening of Tuesday, the 29th of September last, she went to Wilston feast, accompanied by a female of the name of Eliza Turner. They went to a public-house called the Moon and Stars, where they met with the prisoner, and a man of the name of Owen. They left to return home at 25 minutes past eleven o'clock, but before they quit ted the house, they partook of a small quantity of gin at the request of the prisoner. As soon as they had left the house they were followed by the prisoner and Owen. They walked together as far as Tring Ford, where she (witness) turned off to go home. Previous to reaching that spot, the prisoner and Owen tried to separate her and her companion, but they would not part. At length the prisoner laid hold of her by the waist, and Owen seized her friend and parted them. Witness tried to get away, but could not succeed. As soon as Owen and Turner were out of sight, the prisoner threw her down in a ditch. (The witness here described what took place, and which could leave no doubt of a capital offence having been committed.) She called out " El,za Turner," and " Murder," several times, and endeavoured to get away, but could not. She then got up, but was in a very faint state. The prisoner then pushed her about with his hands in a very rough and improper manner, and again threw her down. She again called for Eliza, and she came to her. At that time the prisoner was upon her, and Eliza either kicked or pushed him off. Eliza remained with her about a minute, and then went to call for assistance. Owen was stand ing near at the time, and the prisoner said to him, " Go and call the b-- back " Eliza Turner did not return, and the prisoner soon after left her ; but, as soon as hehad gone, Owen laid hold of her, threw her down, and then effected his pur pose. She was then getting towards her home as fast as she could, when the prisoner came from behind some trees, and wished her to allow him to go home with her, but she refused. She afterwards met Eliza Turner, who was waiting for her on the bridge, and they went home together. Her father and her mother were at h)me. They were in bed. She did not tell them what had occurred. She went to bed, but could not get any rest. She was very uncomfortable, and finding that she could not get ' any rest for several nights,she thought it better to tell herfather what had occurred, and she accordingly told him on the fol lowing Friday. Her father then took her to Mr. Faithful, a solicitor, and afterwards to a Magistrate. Some time ago she was acquainted with a young man, who paid his addresses to her for two years ; and she once permitted him a freedom, which she never allowed to any other person. Cross-examined—Never had conversation with any other person, except on that one occasion, till the occurrence with the prisoner. She was employed at a silk factory at Tring. Eliza Turner also worked at the same place. When they were at the feast, she did not ask the prisoner to give her some gin— he voluntarily offered it, and she took but a very small quantity. The prisoner was not drunk, though he was rather fresh. Saw several persons whom she knew in the room, but would positively swear that she never said to any of them that she went there for the purpose of getting a man, and that a man she would have before she went home. Never asked a person of the name of Tripp to go home with her. James Davis and her brother were at the feast. Did not ask him to go home with her that night. Prisoner asked her to allow him to go home with her, but she refused ; he also asked her to permit him to have connexion with her, and upon her re fusing, he said he would, whether she liked it or not. (The witness underwent a most severe and searchirg tross-examina tion, but her evidence was noeshaken.) Eliza Turner confirmed the testimony of the prosecutrix, and added that after she heard the cries of " Murder," she went to the spot, as soon as she could get away from Owen, who for some time held her fast. She then saw the prisoner throw the prosecutrix down in the ditch, and whilst so down she screamed very much. As soon as the prisoner left her Owen went to her, threw her down, and treated her in a si milar manner. Witness then ran to a house not far off and knocked up the inmates. A man presented himself at the v indow, and she begged of him to go and protect a female who was being ill-treated by two men. That person, how ever, mused to interfere, stating that as there were two men he was afraid to go. Owen wished to have connection with her. but she refused him. Cross-examined.—Did not mention the circumstance to'an, person after she got home, as She considered the prosecutrix was the proper person to mention it. Never heard the prose cutrix say that she would have a man that night. Joseph Wells, a labourer, residing at Tring Ford, stated that he recollected the last witness calling him up in the course of , the night of the 29th of September. She asked him to get up and assist a female whom two men were ill-using. He de clined to interfere, as, it being feast-time, he did not like to go out alone. He did not go out, and he heard nothing mere of the matter. Henry Coulter, a police-constable, stated that he was pre sent at the Magistrate's office, on the 2d of October, w hen the prosecutrix made a complaint. A warrant was granted for the apprehension of the prisoner. He did all in his power to apprehend him, but could not succeed till the 13th of May last. Mr. Peter 11. Dewsbury, a surgeon, residing at '(ring, stated, that on Friday, the 2il October, he was called upon to examine the prosecutrix. He found her much bruised and swollen, and also a slight wound, evidently made with the finger nail. Cross-examined —The wound and bruises he had no doubt were caused by a hand. Mr. Sergeant Lunn' said the evidence of the surgeon en tirely put an end to the case. It was quite clear the offence imputed to the prisoner had not been committed. Mr. L.% Nn begged to call his Lordship's attention to the evidence of the prosecutrix herself, who, in the most d:stinct and positive manner, had sworn to the offence having been ' fully completed. Mr. Sergeant TADDY thought that fact was negatived by the evidence of Mr. Dewsbury. Mr. 11v LAND considered the statement of the surgeon per ' fectly consiste nt with the evidence of the p rosecutrix. Mr. Dewsbury could not pretend to say that the offence had rn.t been committed. All he said was that the bruises were caused and the prosecutrix stated that after th e o ff ence by a hand ; was committed, and whilst almost in a fainting state, the pri soner pulled her about in a very rough manner. If there was any doubt, he would beg permission to recal the prosecutrix, and examine her as to that point. Mr. Sergeant TAMA' thought it would be unnecessary. M r . RYLAND said that as he was merely examining the witnesses on behalf of the Court, he would make no further observations. He considered it his duty to press the point, as he thought his Lordship might have been labouring under some misapprehension. I Mr.: Sergeant TARDY told the Jury they must acquit the prisoner. Mr. ItyLAND suggested that, at all events, a common as mult had been proved: Mr. WORDSWORTH could not struggle against a verdict for an assault. Mr. Sergeant TADDY, in addressing the Jury, said that the case against the prisoner was one of a very unpleasant nature, and one which he should have been glad to have withdrawn from their consideration altogether : but the Grand Jury had considered it a case which ought to be further sifted. They would be led to believe, from the evidence of the prosecutrix that the capital offence had been committed, but the surgeon could not prove it. ney must, therefore, acquit the prisoner of the rape, and it would be for them then to consider whether an assault had been committed. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty of an assault, and Mr. Sergeant TA DDT sentenced the prisoner to six months' hard labour in the house of correction. John Reed Cook, aged eighteen, was convicted of stealing twelve sheep, the property of John Parsley. It appeared that the sheep were safe in a field at St. Alban's on the night of the 10th of April. On the following day they were missed, and were subsequently traced to the possession of a butcher residing in Lambeth, who bought them of the pri soner at Smithfield. The prisoner was sentenced to be transported for fifteen years. - - POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION- HO USE. A young man of very fashionable appearance, who stated his name to be Alfred, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having put his own life in jeopardy on the Black wall Railroad. The Superintendent of the Blackwall Railroad stated that the defendant was a passenger in one of the evening trains to London, and that as the train proceeded he put his body half way out of the window, and heaving his arms about to the im minent danger of his life, for if he had been struck by ally of the trains which passed him towards Blackwall he must have been dashed to pieces, each of them having gone at the rate of 25 miles an hour. The conductor of the train stated that when he saw the de fendant thrusting his body out at the window he requested the gentleman to retire within t',e carriage, and represented the danger to him, but it was of no use. It was believed that the Stepney train in passing touched him. 'I he Loan MAYOR (to the defendant) —Pray, Sir, are you tired of sour life? Defendant—Not at all, my Lord.

THAMES-OFFICE.: S- C th! , ship On Thurs.lay, William Colville, the chief insle , Chieftain', DOW lying in the river, appeared before a. r ' LANTINE, to answer a charge of severely beating James Jepp, rated as ordinary seaman on board, who is only 18 yeares...' Mr. Pelham appeared for the defendant. It appeared from the evidence of Jepp, that on the 280: of January last, when the ship was at Macao, he had been ashore with the captain, and on his return in the boat belonging to the ship Scotland, with the master of that vessel, the defendant, and others, he was attacked with ill ness, which compelled him to run upon deck before the cap tain or any one else had ascended, and he ran straightway to the head of the vessel. The captain used some very gross language towards him, and called out to the mate," Why don't you knock that d-d son a- overboard ? " The mate also abused him, and on the following morning, while he was washing the deck, he came towards him and said, " I have a crow to pick with you," and immediately struck him a violent blow with his clenched fist, which knocked him down. The mate then fell upon him and hit him three or four severe blows. Jepp got up, and the mate chased him. and seizing a 3i -inch strap, or heel-lashing for the jibboom, beat him most dread fully with it over the head and body. The complainant got away from him and was again pursued by the mate, who took up a billet of wood and struck him witk that. Jepp sung out for mercy, and told the mate he must be a rascal to use any bov in such a manner. The mate then got the shank painter, and beat him on the back with that. The parties then strug gled and closed with each other, and the mate continuing to use the lad with great violence, he took up a marlin-spike and struck the mate on the head with it, by which he released himself. Robert Marquis, a seaman, who had kept a log of every thing that occurred, including, as he said, a goad deal of bad treatment from the captain, confirmed the statement of Jepp in every particular. In cross-examination he admitted that he had been fined 1/. 2s. 6d. for an assault on the captain in Swan River, and that he and all the hands had been in gaol. The captain complained that the crew were mutinous, and said he would resist payment of their wages; but he and all the crew had to complain of very bad treatment on the part of the captain. Mr. BALLANTINE said the mate had no right to beat the boy at all, and it appeared that he had used him with cruelty, first knocking him down with his fists, and then chasing him round the deck, striking him with a billet of wood, after wards with a rope, or anything else he could lay hands on, and if a man were beaten in that way, and driven into a corner, the law allowed him to resist it. The case must go before a Jury, and he would take the xecognizances of the captain and mate in the sum of 20/. each, for the appearance of the latter at the next Sessions of the Central Criminal Court, there to abide his trial. IV ANDSWORTHFOLICE. Henry Keen, a journeyman carpenter, living at the water side, was charged with attempting self-destmetion, and also with threatening the life of his wife. Anne Keen, the daughter . of the defendant, stated that on Friday (yesterday) morning, about half past seven o'clock, her father called her into his room. He wag lying in bed, and his left arm pouring with blood. The witness wished to bind it up, but defendant would not let her. So she ran out and brought in the police. Police constable Castle, 123 V, stated that he found the de fendant bleeding profusely from a wound in the left arm. A razor was lying by the defendant's side, with which he admit ted having severed one of the arteries ; he also admitted that he had meant to destroy himself, and he intended to do so yet. Sarah Ann Keen, the defendant's wife, said her husband had of late become very loose in his habit=, and though he had six children, he seldom came home sober one night out of the week, —he had beat her repeatedly, had threatened her life, and on Tuesday last he said he would wash his hands in her blood. Mr. PAYNTER—Then I suppose you go in fear of your life ? —Complainant said she did. The defendant said that he had no wish to harm his wife. Shc was a " cross-grained" one, and made his home so uncom. fortable, that he could seldom bear to go into it. It was her temper that caused him to attempt suicide. Mr. PAYNTER ordered defendant to find sureties, himself in 01., and two in 20/., to keep the peace towards his wife. Committed. INSURRECTION IN CANDIA. THE CHRISTIANS OF CRETE TO THE GOVERN MENTS AND NATIONS OF CHRISTIAN AND CIVILIZED EUROPE. MONARCHS! BRETHREN ! We have received the missives by which the European Con suls at Canea replied to our grievances. The Consul of England hastened to inform us that the Eng lish Government, being in a close protecing alliance with the Sublime Porte, is entirely foreign to the plans, aims, and pro jects of those who are opposed to the power and Government of the Sultan. The Rus,ian Vice-Consul tells us, " that if the Christian population have motives to complain of the abuses they have, perhaps, hitherto suffered, they must first and foremost la down their arms, and return to the submission they owe Co their legitimate Sovereign, in order that they may reckon on the kind solicitude of the Sultan fur the welfare of all his sub jects. The exigencies of an armed people constitute a crime, the consequences of which will assuredly be fatal to all those who participate in them." He terms us rebellious Christians. The French Consul earnestly engages us to submit to the will of the Sultan, and " to trust in the humanity of his High ness the Capitan Pacha," whose cruelty is known throughout the east. He, moreover, adds, " that we shed our blood with out glory, by illegally resisting the authority of the Sultan." The Austrian Consul in Crete goes still further. He says that his Court, " sincerely attached to the Sublime Porte, condt inns our attempts to obtain liberties which are irrecon cileable with the quality of subjects to the Sultan." And he adds, " that, in lending the Mussulmans all the support in his power, he, the Consul of his Imperial and Apostolic Majesty, will be fulfilling an imperious dot)." The Consul of Greece, in fine, rejects and condemns, in the name of his august Sovereign, "our mad undertaking," and engages, for the last time, the Cretan Greeks to give up their present sad position, " and to return to their homes, by falling at the feet of their magnanimous King to implore his mercy." These letters, a faithful summary of which we lay before you, at first filled us with the most painful sentiments. We had claimed the support of our Christian brethren, who are pleased herystowea n t o s laocthnensour knowledge fnrecivilisedf a t t h h e gm e men—declare fore-fathers —an s o dd ctt f , lha her these g e h very that they, brethren h civilization e)., al allied i eda i tl which the barbarians, recognise as solely lawful in this country the domination of the savage sons of Othman, which has already devoured half a million of Cretans, and w hi c h will soon have se depopulated our formerly flourshing soil.

No, England, faithful to the principles of her political exist ence —no, England, that ever solemnly proclaimed the sublime idea.i.f civil a nd religious liberty for the whole world — no, d n liberty the England, th e c l ass i c soi l of legal liberty , does nohtr Cretans fighting for the.

Christianreligion is the basis of The orthodox those who arc fighting in the same of Jesus Christ against the 111ussulmans. the Russian empire ; the Czar will not fail to preserve it from profanation ! It is impossible that the French Government, which sprung from the Revolution of 1830, can invoke against the Cretans the legality of the TurkA domintition. Charles X. was a humane and religious Prince, 41)d yet arms were taken up MORNING SUN. against him for the defence of liberty menaced by the ordi nances of July. Now, the Turkish Government has not only encroached on every law protecting civil liberty, but has trampled under foot every divine and human law. France is proud of her struggles for liberty, which she has justly termed glorious ; how then can civilised and civilising France express the sacrilegious thought that the holy struggle of the Cretan Christians is an inglorious struggle? No ; he who speaks thus is not a Frenchman. The Consul has signed his forfeiture of that respected quality in signing the letter which he forwarded to us, Insurgents of Crete! It is impossible that the Government of his Apostolieal Ma jesty, which, by a secular struggle against the Iqussuitnaeoe, has preserved a►l Europe from their domination—it is hil l os sible that so paternal and humane a Governmert should recog nise the legality of a tyrannical power, employing by turns against the Christians the blazing torch and the assassin's knife which has lately fired two hundred towns or villages in Bulge- • ria and Macedonia, and which, not satisfied with stripping the Christians of their property, delivers their wives and their daughters to the brutality of an unbridled soldiery.. IVo ; the prudent Austrian Government will not place such dangerous arms at the disposal of the enemies of legality in Europe. The Austrian Consul, the sole German ‘..onsul in Crete, represents here not the Austrian tribe, but the whole German nation—that nation which revealed to the world, through the immortal Herder, the Christian humanitary dogmas —that nation which now restores to the Greeks the rich loans contracted from our ancestors—that nation whither young Greece used to go to light the sacred flame of her political and moral regeneration. Did not the Protestants in Germany during the 16th cen tury create the Duchy of Prussia, that fundamental basis of the monarchy of Frederick the Great? Did not Albert of Bran denburg abolish the domination of the Teutonic knights in the name of the Prussian towns and commons? And doubtless no compai ison can be established between the Government of those Christian knights, subservient to the holy empire, and the brutal tyranny of the Ottoman ? No. Germany, that is raising a colossal monument to Her mann, her liberator from the Boman yoke, which was a civi lisng yoke, will not condem the sons [of Minos, who, invoking the holy name of the Saviour, are rising against a brutalising yoke! In fine, it is impossible, and besides we know the contrary to be the ease, that Greece should consider our devotedness as Christians and as civilized men a mere mad undertaking, and that she should apply to us words that wounded her to her in most heart, when in 1621 the bloody application was addressed to her ! Is not King Otho the expression of the attained end of Hel. lenie independence ? Humane and generous as he is, he can not long deny assistance to men who have a sacred call on the gratitude of Greece, to whose deliverance they largely contri. buted. Do not say, 0 Piroglon ! that thou art a Greek ; never shall we believe it, for we are Greeks. Convinced by all these motives that the Consuls at Canea have not acted according to their instructions, that they have, through weakness, expressed sentiments contrary to those of the Governments and nations that they represent, we solemnly ap peal against their judgment to the supreme tribunal of the pub lic opinion of the civil sed world; we appeal from it to all that Europe contains of generous Christian men, not in mouth, but in heart ! And to this appeal we join the declaration before God and men, that, martyrs of our faith, we have sworn, at the foot of the liberating cross, to die sooner than againlutimit to the yoke of the barbarians. " If, therefore, you receive intelligence that order it re established in rete by the Turks and by their faithful Christian allies, add thereto a prayer for the Cretans who will then have ceased to exist, and who will prove before the Eternal their conduct to be conformable to their holy laws, and which they will then moreover have legitimised ' h their blood, as have done their brethren the martyrs of -ia and those equally venerable men whom the barba- Btr* ely massacred in Lebanon, while, kreeling before the a i l ia ta n r s s h,. of Lord, they were imploring down his blessings on s of Europe by whom they were abandoned the Christian. merciful to you as well as to us.
