~ -INIOITINA NG- EDITION AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN. lit; t or.. I\l A y 11. The Great Western arrived at Kingsroad 'from New York this evening at 8 o'clock. having lett New York at 2 o ' clock on the Ist inst., thus completing her home voyage in 13 daNs. Her outward voyage was completed in 14 days • and a half, havingsprrived at New York on the 233 of April. She has brought home with her 97 passengers, and some des patches for Government, but. no siiecie. but weWehaVe received by her New York p a p ers t o th e I s t i ns t., regret to say, that up to the time of her departure nothing whatever *as known of the President, although news had real heil New York from Havannah, and other West India isLinds, to the 15th of April. In the House of Assembly for the State of New YOrk an im- Porfunt debate upon the case of Mr. I%.l•Leod had taken place on the 19th ult., on the motion of a Mr. Homann (a decided locofoeo) for the release of Mr. 111.1.e0d, Mr. Hamann hold ing it to be inconsistent with the national honour to continue Air. M - Leod in prison after the Government of Great - Britain had taken the affair of the Caroline upon themselves. Mr. Al`Leod, however, still continued in prison at. the time the Great Western sated, and nothing definitive was known of the ttgotia'ions between the United States Government and that of Greet Britain, our would anything definitive be done iu the -Matter until the extra ses3i,n of Congress. It was, however, 1;nOW71 that a gaol understanding subsisted between the organs of the two Gores nments at Washington on the subject. • Contmess was to be convened on the 31st of May, and the eyes Of the whole country, it was said, would turn in anxious e xpectation on the first movements' of the dominant party. Tin' new Presi lent was going on well, and the impression was becoming general that he would infuse into every branch of the public service a degree of energy and integrity that had . riot been seen since the early days of the Republic, occupying, al he did, a position indePendent of all parties. Ire Canada a strong opposition was growing up against Lord Sydenham, and the Canadians were in a state of c,nsiderable ' l leitement at the proposed alteration of the timber duties in the Imperial Parliament.

The ,de bate a t the Assembly of this State about M'Leod has resulted in nothing. in fact, no consequences affecting the case were anticipated or desired by those who brought up the matter. by wished mere ly t o . Conciliate certain interests on the border °Y a disllay of excessive patriotism. This accomplished, th.:. subject was permitted to drop, without any attempt to interfere with the action of the General Government. The precise position of ,the affair at this time, between this "uvernment and that of Great Britain is not known, nor has the character of the recent negotiations transpired. Nothing definitive will be done in relation to the question until the extra "limn a Congress. Meantime, we are enabled to state that good understanding subsists between the organs •of the two G overnments at Washington, and that, in the opinion of the S ecretary of State, there is nothing in our foreign relations to excite alarm or apprehension of any sort. Congress wi 1 convene on the 31st of the present month, and t he eyes of the whole country will be turned in anxious ex- Pectation on the first movements of the dominant party. The elections are now nearly all completed, and on questions of Purely party nature, the Administration will have a majo rity large enough for all practical purposes. 'I he great ob ject of the session is a reorganization of the finances of the Country, and the adoption of a new fiscal system fur the Go viernment. The project of a national bank seems to be de ntng in the popular estimation. Bank explosions, bank t i:' nc lings, and forgeries succeed each other so rapidly, that e Public mind is constantly engaged in their contemplation. the effect must be great, and if the Opposition avail them lep'es adroitly of the weapons thus put into their hands, the 11l for chartering such an institution cannot be carried through C ongress.

The negotiation of her great loan will 'cu'n put the Government in funds, and the enterprise of the 1 )- 0ple will so develope her resources, as shortly to put this Young giant in a contrition of perfect independence. . SPIRIT OF THE DOMESTIC MARKETS. At New Orb- ans, on the 21st ult., the arrival of Cotton for th e week amounted to 12,820 bales. The demand was very . moderate. and sales averaging about 2.500 per day. There Wai no change in prices at all. The receipts of produce Were still large. The stock of Sugar was large, and the de mand limited. Sales of strictly prime at a 61 1 , Molasses dull at 20 cts. in bbls.

(Correspondence of the Herald.) PHILADELPHIA, APRIL 30.—The weather is still stormy and very unpleasant. 'there is no business of any conie quenee doing, and absolutely nothing in the way of news. A Man is on his trial here for the murder of his wife, it is true, but then as it was a simple and instantaneous killing,.by very eemmon parties, with nothing of the horrible about it, the People look upon it with the calmest indifference. 'I he time was when the commission of an ordinary assault and battery, and the arrest of a common pickpocket, would Creat e an abund nee of horror, and afford a theme on which n r mora l press would ,dilate at a great length for a whole nth.

FROM FLORIDA.—The steamer William Gaston, Captain Grin); arrived . at. St. Augustine on the 21st of April, from Southern Posts, bringing a large party of artillery, under the command of Lieutenant Bated, and shortly afterwards pro ceeded up the North !fiver. They are intended to e'tablish a post about eighteen miles to the. North of St. Augnstine: Nu merous Indian fires had been discovered along the coast, from Fort Lauderdale up to within seven miles of New Sycnrna. DIVIDEISEL—The Bank of the State of New Yerk has de clared a dividend of 3 1-2 per cent. for the last six months, payable after the 10th May. The Guardian Insurance Company 10 1-4 Ter cent. on the capital of said Company, payable on the sth inst. A Mr. Harman was murdered at the polls on the day of elee tion, in Dinwiddie County, Virginia. Sri:Am-BOAT SUNK.—We learn that the steam-boat Gipsy was sunk near the lower rapids of the Mississippi a few days since. She was on her downward passage loaded with lead.— Louisville Advertiser. DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.— Some time in February last a young man, named Gustavus Melsheimer. formerly a student in Pennsylvania College, in this place, started from here with the intention of going to Shippensburg, and no intelligence of his arrival at that place having been received by his *ends, it was supposed that he had wandered from his way and iitrished in the snow, which was at that time very deep. Search was accordingly made, and the body of a man, suppos'ed to be that of Mr. Melsheimer, was found on Sunday last in South Mountain, about six miles south of Shippensburg.— Gettysburg Star. Mont Immix TROUBLIS.—Advices from Wisconsin, under date of April 10, state that large bodies of Sioux were gathering in the neighbourhood of Fort Snelling, with the de sign, as was supposed, of making an attack upon it.. One of the tribe, it seems, being drunk and disorderly within the limits a the garrison, and resisting an attempt to remove him was shot down ; hence the hostile aspect of the tribe. Two com • panies from Forts Winnebago and Crawford had been ordered to Fort Snelling. ARRIVAL OF THE COLUMBIA. The Columbia steam-ship arrived at Liverpool on Saturday afternoon. She left Boston on the Ist and Halifax on the 3d inst, and has made the passage in about twelve days. The following are the only extracts from the American papers of the' slightest interest : LIBERATION OF MR. M`LEOD,—The distinguished Charles H. Delavan is again in town from Washington, where he spent the last two months. Mr. Delavan in forms us that at a Cabinet Council on Saturday last, it was ageeed to deliver up M‘Leod to the British authori ties—and perhaps Mr. Delavan himself will be appointed to the important trust of making the delivery.—. Anew York Herald, April 30. GENERAL JACKSON.—The newspapers have busied themselves very much of late with the pecuniary :affairs of General Jackson, and considerable sentimentality has been expended upon a statement made in several of the journals that he had become poor by endorsing for his friends. The old Roman don't stand this, and has authorised a Pennsylvania paper to pronounce the story " false in every particular !" We need not say that we are very glad to hear it. EXECUTION OF NEGROES.—HAVA NSA IL —HavalMall papers to the 15th have been received in New Orleans. The Courier says— " A few hours previous to the departure of the Natchez, intelligence reached Havannah that 62 negroes from Jamaica, believed to be abolitionist emissaries, had effected a landing on the south side of Cuba. Thirty of those black subjects of Queen Victoria had been arrested and ordered to be shot. The Spanish authorities were in pursuit of the others." The Bee, of the same city, says, that these thirty " were immediately arrested, tried, condemned, and ex ecuted." The Courier adds, " It was understood at Havannah, that 8,000 troops were about sailing from 'Cadiz for Ha vannah. Indeed, a few of them arrived last week. This looks as if Espartero was apprehensive of an attack on Cuba from some European power or other. THEATRICALS.—PARK THEATRE.—The state of the weather last night was enough to damp the ardour of even a more ambitious aspirant for the honours of Mrs. Siddons than Miss Clarendon is likely to prove, although we see it insinuated for her by some of the Fungus order of critics, that the mantle of the great actress is destined to rest on the shoulders of this, their latest protege. All this preliminary puffing is bad. And all the talent that ever manifested itself after a regular probation, would have been most certainly blighted if subjected to the foolish ordeal which this young lady has had to undergo. She makes her debut in Mariana, a part which Fanny Kemble appeared in, and then tries Pauline in a city where Ellen Tree is still remembered. Can any one be astonished that, the house is empty ?—Braham is in the neighbourhood of Savannah, giving concerts.—Fanny Fitzwilliam and Buckstone played the same night at the American. Of John Povey's whereabouts we are not advised. ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE.—An attempted murder and suicide occurred on board the steamer Clip per on Sunday evening last, while on her way from this city to Bayou Sara. As we could learn the particulars, it seems that Mr. Tiernan, an old and respectable planter of Point Coupee, had a sum of money stolen from him while on board the Clipper, and soon ascertained that it was taken by a yellow boy belonging to him some fourteen years of age. He did nothing to the boy at the time, but threatened him with a severe flogging on reaching Point Coupee. Shortly after Mr. T. went to his berth, lay down, and was soon asleep. The boy, probably in stigated by the fear of future punishment, procured a large butcher's knife, went to his master's state room, and stabbed him twice in the throat, inflicting severe, and it was feared mortal, wounds. •He then fled to the bow the boat, and, as the men were approaching to secure him, jumped overboard, and was seen no more. We learned the particulars at Donaldsonville on Sunday even ing last, at which time it was feared that Mr. Tiernan would not survive.—New Orleans Paper. The notorious vessel the Malek Aael arrived at Bal- timore on Tuesday, from Rio Janeiro, under command of Lieut. Ogden of the U. S. Navy. The crew have all been arrested, examined, and committed on a charge of piracy. Joseph Nunez, the Captain, escaped at Bahia and was not retaken. Five young men are now in gaol in Brooklyn, New York, for committing a most atrocious rape on a married woman, in Myrtle-lane. They were of a gang of fifteen, and strong hopes are entertained that those now at large will soon be secured. The poor woman we understand is dead. No punishment can be too severe for these in human rascals. MORE MORNONS.—The St. Louis Bulletin says— " Two hundred and thirty-seven Mormons came up in the Moravian yesterday from New Orleans. They are from Westmoreland, Lancaster, and Yorkshire, England, and are bound for Nauvoo, Illinois. MR. Fox.—lt is intimated that Mr. Fox, the British Minister, is about to marry a sister of the Russian Minis ter's lady, Miss Williams. The bridegroom in this match, should it occur, will be aged about 60, the bride about 16. —New York Toiler. The Temperance Reform is exciting the most intense interest in Montreal. Meetings are frequently held and fully attended, eloquent addresses delivered, and during eight days 328 new signatures were obtained to the pledge. Its beneficial influence is felt,particularly among the soldiers stationed at that place. _ . MANUFACTURES.—Numerous . cotton manufactories have been erected within a few years at the South, most, if not all, of which are. successful in their operations. In the city of Feyteville, F. C., six large mills have been erected, and the ,amount of capital invested is 1300,000. MORE ILL NEWS FROM FLORIDA.—The correspondent of the Savannah Republican, in a letter dated Pilatki, April 19th, says—" I am sorry to inform you that the war has broken out anew. I have just learned that all the Indians, save about twenty, have left Tampa—among them Wild Cat, and, in fact, all of any. note. They have killed a couple of express riders. The bag con taining the mail has been found perforated with two bullets, one of which was found in a package of letters. I fear we shall hear bad news shortly from these Indians." Captain Ward, a passenger on board the ship Groans, below at Boston, from Manilla, and last from St. Helena, reports that seven vesse7s, slavers, had arrived 'at St. Helena, with 700 slaves, prizes to her Britannic Majesty's cruisers on the west coast of Africa. The last that ar rived (March 2) threw overboard' sixty dead slaves in sight of St. Helena. - GooD.—The following is said to be the last joke of Sidney Smith. He says that the Chinese affair is all picking (Pekin) and choosing (Chusan). ODD TnErT.—During a recent fire at St. Louis, a thief broke into a cabinet maker's shop and stole a coffin. REPEAL OF THE SUB-TREASURY--On Thursday last, the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania passed a resolution, which had been preViously acted on in the Senate, instructing the Senators and requesting the Re presentatives in Congress, to vote for the repeal of the Sub-Treasury-law, and providing that the Governor for- . ward copies of the resolution to the Senators and Repre sentatives. The resolution was carried by a handsome majority. HUMBUGGERY.—Thus a Correspondent writes us " The people humbug the rascally banks by not paying up, and the banks in return humbug the people for their rascality. The merchants are humbugged by doing bu siness for nothing, and paying tribute to Columbus in every shape and form, which business assumes. The majority of the merchants are humbugged by the few selfish and mercenary ones, who refuse to give their aid in forming a Chamber of Commerce for the transaction of business on honourable principles, and for a fair re muneration. The young ladies aro humbugged by the beaux, who only flirt about them for pastime ; and, in fact, Mr. Editor, everything is wrong, and must be re gulated through your interesting Journal.' " That's a fact—all humbugs must and shall be journalized._ DARING.—On the 15th of February, a Mr. Taney of Washington county, Md. was awakened about midnight by a sound like the breaking of a door, in an adjoining room to that in which his family were sleeping. Ile sprang from his bed, seized a loaded rifle, and stood wait ing about fifteen minutes when the door was softly opened, and he saw his servant man by the light of a fire in the stove, with a large butcher knife in his hand. Upon his exclaiming advance one step and you are a dead man,' the negro instantly ran, and succeeded in making his escape to Pennsylvania. FIRE.—The cotton mill owned by Messrs. James Rhodes and Sons, at Rhodesville, Thompson, Ct. was destroyed by fire on Wednesday night. The building was of brick, and eighty feet in l en gth. It c on t a i ne d 3,000 spindles and 50 looms. It was insured for 10,000 dollars at the American Office, and for 12,000 dollars at the Manufacturers' Mutual Office, in Providence. The ori gin of the fire is not known. - SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—WhiIe Mr. Martin Mikesell, Cambria county, Penn., and his wife, were absent from home at a sugar camp, their house took fire and was totally destroyed, with all its contents. When they re turned they found their dwelling in ruins, and that three little children left in it had perished in th e flames. The Cincinnati Chronicle of the 17th inst., states that Edward Layton, the young man who had been arrested on the charge of having caused the death of Mr. Gris well, a Baptist preacher, was brought before the Mayor or examination. After hearing the testimony in the case, he was committed for trial on the charge of murder. GRAVE ROBBED.—A man by the name of Jackson died at Cher,,,iig - e, N. Ti. two Weeks since, and en the succeeding day was interred in the village grave-yard. During the night his remains were removed be persons unknown, for svho:;e detection $5O reward is cared. MAIL BorBERY.- . -The way-mail from this City to Albany on board the North American - was robbed on Feday morning last—the bags cut open. the letters rifled and thrown into the river. The first intimation of the robbery was given by the letters, which were seen float ing in the current near Stuyvesant. It . is not known whether the letter; were rifled on board the boat. or stolen thence and broken open afterwards ; but in either case the remissness of those in charge was most culpable. We trust this robbery will put an end to the shameful carelessness with which mails have hitherto been kicked about .the decks of our steam-boats, as if they were sacks of potatoes. MURDI:R.—The Portland Arqus states that Mr. Moses Butterfield murdered his wife and two youngest children in Sumner, Oxford County, Maine, on Wednesday last. Two others of the family only saved themselve3 ley ilight. Mr. B. has been hitherto a highly respectable citi::en of that town, but has been subject to fits of in sanity. His alleged reason for murdering his family was to Lave them from eternal ruin at . the approaching end of the world. lie has been committed to jail in Paris. lIoNouttARLE.—It will be recollected that some mow ht ago, four of our packet ships saved each the of a British vessel in distress. They were the Rhone, Cap tain Walton ; Stephen Whitney; Captain Thompson ; Columbus, Captain Cropper ; and Sheridan, Captain De Pcyster. Yesterday, Mr. Buchanan, the British Consul, addressed to these commanders the ibllowing extract of a letter :—" I am directed by Lord Palmerston, to de sire you to express to the commanders the thanks of her Majesty's Government, fin• their praiseworthy conduct, and for the assistance which they rendered on the same occasions, and you will state to these commanders that her Majesty's Government intends to show its sense of their services, by sending to each of them .a gold medal, so soon as the die, which is now in preparation, shall be finished."—Journal qf Commerce.- HAMBURGHAND DUTCH MAILS. Baussees, MAY 13.—The average price of wheat last week was 1,808 francs, and that of rye 1,073 francs. Count and the Countess of Van de Weyer have arrived at Bruss Is. A letter from Francfort says— " We learn that the persons who were arrested it the end of last year in tLe Grand Duchy of Hesse for politi cal off tnces presented a petition to the Grand Duke on the day before the marriage of the Princess Maria to the Grand Duke A'exander, praying that the proceed ings instituted against them may be quashed." BRUSSELS, Max 14.--Captain Neygeur, of the Swedish ship Neptune, bought five tons of salt beef of Pierre Jean Vcrstreten, a butcher. Alter eating some of it. he and his crew were taken ill ; a legal inquiry having been instituted, it was discovered that tfiere was an agreement between some butchers ,arid knackers to supply the captain of ships with horse fl ?sit instead of beef, by which they fraudulently made a considerable profit. Verstrt ten, Leys, and Cleereus have Lean eon. demiled for this fraud to a year's imprisonment. Count Gerofski and the Princess Isabelle deuehter of the Infant Don Francis de Paulo, who eloped from Paris, were arrested yesterday at Namur, by the Bel gian police. "They had arrived there on Monday ; their carriage having broken down on their way, they were attained twenty-four hours to repair it, otherwise they would have pesi.e.l through Belgium without being dis cotereal. On their arrival at the hotel two chambers, communicating with etch other, were assigned to them, but they chose two otl.ers, which were completely sepa rate, when the police asked for their passports. Court Gerofski produced one with a false name, and having been reques:ed to sign this name, he was not able to spell it. He was detained prisoner with the Infanta et the Hotel, and a notice was immediately sent to the Government of their arrest. Orders were directly sent from Brussels to take the Princess back to Paris. Count Gerofski will probably be brought before the tribuna!s for having used a false passport. • CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 21.—1 n consequence of the insurrection in Candi:), the Porte has resolve] to shbjeet the ciast of that island to a strict blockade, ex cept the ports Canes, Suds, Rettimn, and Candia, Which blockade is to begin on the 15th of May. A squadron of 10 men-of'-war is preparing to enforce this blockade. Ti e day before yesterday a note from the Minister of Foreign Affairs was addressed to the K nisters of the Powers parties to the treaties of July, informing them that Porte had accepted the prop • salt made by those Powers respect ng Egypt ; they are as have been already mentioned. It. appears that sonic delay will take place in the official notification of these concessions to Mehemet Ali, because the Ottoman Ministry feel considerable hesitation about the system now observed with respect to Egypt, namely, to know the provisions of the Allied Powers, in case Mehemet AI should refuse the new concession, not, indeed, in words, bet in fact, by continuing to act without regard to the orders of the Sultan. The two conces sions, they say, are net to be understood as made to the Peelle, but rather as'a sacrifice on the part of the ! Stettin to the wishes of his Aies ; this led to a second note of the same date to the following Ministers, in which the Porte puts the question—What the Powers think to do, in case Mehemet Ali should not submit to the other condieons of the firmen of investiture ; and whether the Powers, supposing them to intend t ► eon- Linn° their assistance to the Porte, mean -to make a dif ference in the measures to be taken by them, between those conditions which are contained in the treaty of July, and those which are not mentioned in that tree y ? The Minister for Foreign Affairs likewise communicated with M. du Pontois, to learn what course France would take, since the Porte had granted to the Podia the here ditary soverefgrity of Egypt, and the choice of his officers. It appears that M. du Pontois had not suffi cient instructons to give a deciiive answer on this point. 18/1131 FUNl.M.—AmaccuAm, Mw It Woe, I i s. %en.° slabs, a 4 per cent - - 51.4 te2k 3ittn, ditto 5 per cezit.

May 11 SELF-WINDING-UP CLOCKS.—A collection of very curious clocks, upon a principle entirely new, is to be seen in a room appropriated for the purpose .at the Royal Polytechnic Institution. The inventor, M. Moi neau, a French mechanician, has approximated them, in their construction, as nearly as possible, to the solution of the perpetual motion problem. The means by which they are made " to go" are altogether of a novel kind. Thus, fire (in a fire-place), water (in a cistern), air (in a chimney), the opening of a door, or any constantly oc curring motion, *is made use of by the inventor as a primum mobile, and the results are truly extraordinary. On the present occasion we must confine ourselves to a description of one of these time-pieces ; it may possibly serve as a key to the others ; at all events the clocks, on examination, will speak for themselves. The first object is to fix the time-piece in its intended locality—say on a bracket in the hall' of a house. Behind the clock a single piece of machinery is attached to the wall, having affixed thereto a wire conductor with a spring catch at the street-door. As often as the door is opened the wire winds up .: a weight ; should it previously be fully wound up, no effect is produced, but if not the reverse is the case. The whole of this machinery is hid from view in the wall, and be tween it and the clock there is a secret connection. Alo tion is communicated to the time-piece by a compensation lever, loaded at one end with a weight, and regulated by a pendulum. When this weight has drawn down the lever to its limit, a mechanical arrangement permits the lever to be acted upon by the powers husbanded in the wall, the operation of which is instantly to restore the lever (weight and all) to its original starting place, whence it again proceeds on its work. A primary motive power, sufficient for twenty- four hours, is obtained by once opening the street-door in that time. Wherever this is the case a clock will go correctly as . long as the materials last of which it is composed. The other va rieties are equally as curious and ingenious as the one de scribed. THE LATE SIR F. JOHNSTON.—SeveraI in correct reports having already appeared in the news papers, respecting the circumstances in which Sir F. G. Johnstone, Bart., of Westerhall, came to his untimely and melancholy end, I take the liberty of stating to you the true facts of the case. Sir F. Johnstone having re turned from Eglinton Park races to Westerhall, rode over, on Friday last, in company with his factor, Mr. T. Borthwick, to Talford, to give some instructions to his servants residing at new kennels there, previous to his departure for the South of England.. On their return lat.• in the evening. Sir F. Johnstone's horse galloped off him, Mr. Borthwick followed, and when opposite BhAdburnfoot, found Sir F. lying on the road-side, to all appearance quite dead. sir. Borthwick • in snoltly rode back to Westwater, and aroused Air. Max well, who, after ordering his servants to follow him with a conveyance for the removal of Sir F.'s body, proceeded to the spot, while Mr. Borthwick came to Langhohn for surgical aid. Sir F. Johnstone's body w. ':s accordingly conveyed to Westwater, and examined by a surgeon from Langholm, who discovered a fracture 0 . 1 the.right side of the skull, exte n di ng. t h roug h t h e car to the base, an injury . sufficient to produce almost in stantancens death. These are the true facts of the case, which you will be so good as adhere to in your report of the disastrous accident.—Correspondent of the Carlisle ~ournal. • THE POOR MAN's-CHulicii.---A child whose parents reside in the parish of Thursby, was brought to this city a week or two ago for the benefit of medical advice.

LONDON, 'MOND Y, MA Y 17, 1841 THE EASTERN QUESTION. " VIENNA, MAY 6. " The mail ft om Constantinople of the 14th of April, which was expected with the greatest impatience and anxiety, reached us at. length yesterday, via Bucharest; at the same time a courier extraordinary, who left the capital of Turkey on th. 19th of the same month, P.M., also arrived at the Chan cellor of States, with the despatches of Baron Sturmer, the internuneio of Austria. When the courier left, the new Haiti- Seheriff, a modification of that of the 14th of February, had been signed by the Sultan, but had not yet betn mace public. Rifaat Paella, the new Minister for Foreign Affairs, at the Porte, had, however, communicated it by circular to the representatives of the great Powers; that it was that ena.hied Baron Sturmer to send a copy to Prince Metternich. I am informed po•itively that this Hatti- Scher;ll; bears the date of the 18th of April, and corn pris s three principal points, v a., the concession of the Pa chalic of Egypt, as the heritage of the descendants, in direct line, of Mehemet Ali ; the reniction of the tribute to be paid annualls to the Sultan ; and, lastly, a modification of the rights teserved by the Sultan to himself, by the &man of the 14th of Fehrmiry, appointing the supern r officers of the armyof Egypt. The direct s u cc es s i m was a ques tion, to the solution of whch the downfall of Reschid Paella, removed the last ob stade, ;is I infurrm-d you at the time. It was at Vienna even a matter of astonishment that the Porte had wasted so much time in decirlieg upon reak t ng a concession, in:Fos sil:le to refuse, in the face of the pressing solici , • tations of the Powers which had signed the Treaty of Lond , .n. The question of the tribute, and that of the nomination of the superior officers,- was an affair Which re- ferred to the administration of the exterior, nor would the Cabinet of Vienna ever supp or t th e c l a i m s made by the Pacha of Egypt, leaving to the Porte the power of arbtvating her own iotercsts. Nevertheless, as hinted in mine of the 6th inst. the French Cabinet had not lost all hopes of obtaining from the Porte a few concessions more favourable to Mehemet Ali ; and, in cor sequence, entered into direst negotiations with the Sultan relative to the subject. The Cabinet of .Vienna, a. also that of Berlin, although they declared they would not support these claims of the Pacha, forwarded notwith standing to their ambassadws at Constantinople instruc tions to raise no obstacle to the negotiations of the Count de Pontois ; tt.us in showing deference to the Cabinet a the Tuleries, the Sultan chose a means of satisfying everybody. The Porte, then, is disposed to receive the remonstrances of Mehemet Ali; but wishful to maintain, at the same time, intact, the principle of the Sultan's sove reign authority and independence, she has determined upon appmnting a Srecial Commissary, harged to verify, with the concurrence of the Pacha, the effective amount of the revenue. of Egypt, and afterwards to settle, upon the basis of this finan cial table, the tributary quota Mehemet is to furnish, according to his pecuniary resources. "The Pasha wished also to have the appointment of all his superior officers, in his military forces as well as naval, but from the motives above alluded to he can nominate only to every rank up to that of colonel, inclusively. "Ike solution of the Eastern question is effected, and France has obta tied, with re•pect to it, rribre than she' could expect, consistently with the sp:rit of the Treaty o f th e 15th o f July, and according to the memorandum of the Bth of October. A courier was last night dispatched to Count d'Appony with the news, and with instructions for him to press France to sign the protocol of London, end thus to put the finishing touch to this Herculean edifice of modern diplomacy."

Sir,—l have the honour to forward, for their lordship? in formation, copy of an amended return of ordnance captured, on the 7th instant, at Chuenuee and Tycocktow, by which they will perceive that two eight and a half-inch howitzers were taken ; they are nearly like the new pattern eight-inch howitzer now in use in our serice. The examination of the entrenchments and field.batteries in front of the position of Chuenpee, has caused me much sur prise ; they display considerable science, and are so formidable, that they must have' cost us many men to carry, if the Chi nese had not been forced from them by shells, with which they are entirely unacquainted. I beg to acquaint their Lordships, that Lieutenant Bingham. senior of Modoste, received. a most severe and painful wound (fracture of the leg, in blowing up the fort of TycoektOw), which will cause his loss to the service for some time. Mr. Arthur % T yner, mate of the Blenheim, is also suffering much, but is not in any danger ; he was blown up by the springing of one of the even y's mioes.

The Admiral's junk wss blown up by a rocket from the Nemesis, thus crippling the naval armament of the Chinese in this quarter. This intrt of the force operating against the enemy was most ably and efficiently conducted by Come anger Belcher, of the Sulphur, showing to : every advantage the powerful force of this description of war-steamer, combining, as she does, a commanding armament with light draft of water. He speaks in terms of high commendation of Lieutenant Kellett, of the Starling, conoucting the Queen steamer, assisted by Mr. Crouch, gunnery mate of the Wellesley, and has expressed his high admiration of the most gallant manner in which the boats of the Calliope and Larne passed on to a veryi mpressive at tack on the war-junks to the northward of the Ne.,.esis, which he found, in coming up, in the possession of a seaman, each as prize masters, reflecting peat credit on Lieutenant Wat son, of the Calliope, and Harrison, of the Larne, assisted by five mates (Messrs. Daly, St. Leger, Rivers, and Eger ton, of the Calliope, and Mr. Rowland Edwards, of the Larne). From the vessels being captured in a narrow channel, and close to the villages, the ebb tide running strung, with an im perfect knowledge of the channel, Commander Belcher con sidered it too great a risk to wait the uncertainty of getting the junks out of the different positions in which they were taken, and gave directions for their being destroyed.

But: new-born infants are, fortunately not so plentiful as ne*-Jaid eggs ; and the lady of Tal mont's daily dinner acted as a stron g " check on po pulation." Upon one occasion when there was not a child to be had for love or money, it so happened that the cook's wife became the mother of a fine boy. It only wanted half an hour to dinner. His credit„ his place, nay, perhaps, his character was at stake ! And the struggle in his bosom, between the father and the cook, was tre mendous. Ile looked dangerously at the child, as eyeing its limbs professionally, he stood feeling the edge of his long knife with his thumb, and casting a side glance, from time to time, at the gridiron. But at length Na ture triumphed over art, and the cook yielded to the fa. then. hashing his white cap, rom his brow, he rushed into the presence of his hungry mistress, and spoke to her so eloquently of the impropriety of indulging, as she did, in the pleasures of the table, that she not only, with noble self-denial, renounced for the future the ,fa vourite luxury to which she was so partial, but deter mined to expiate her past dinners by walking barefoot on thorns from Talmont to Fontenelle.—Trollope's Summer in Western France.

A putlic meeting, convened by the Mayor, in coin- Lance with a requisition signed by a large number of . . the most respectable inhabitants of the town, was held at the Guildhall on Thursday. The hour appointed ( me o'clock ;hut befare that time the Hall was crowded almost to suffocation by persons of ail classes, who ap peared to regard the proceedings with intense interest, Ind who evinced, as a perusal of our Report will show, a determined resolution to strain every nerve—to ex ert all their energies —to rid themselves of those laws whose real object is to swell the possessions of a small section of the community, by stinting a people's food, and at the cost of a nation's prosperity. The meeting was more outnerously attended, and its proceedings were of more interest, than any which has been held in Southampton for years. The Mayor having taken the Chair, T. L. HARMAN, Esq , moved the resolution that the people left themselves aggrieved by the Corn laws. Mr. J. R. KEELE . seconded the motion. He came forward on this occasion because, as the father of a large family, he had good reason to feel interest in the discussion of this question. He had been a long time making up his mind on this peat subject, and had read a variety of opinions on both sides without b ing able to come to a satisfactory conclusion until the list few weeks, when, on reading the Report of the Committee of the House of Commons on the Import Duties, a light broke in upon his mind, and he felt satisfied that. that the Corn-laws were the most crud, unjust, aod unmerciful tax ever imposed on the people of this country.—(Che,..rs.) He called on his fellow-owl:is. men t. 3 assist. the Govarnment in removing this tax. The tesolution was carried unanimously amidst, great cheering.

CORN LAWS-LANDLORDS AND TENANTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Although the Ministerial project for amelio rating the wicked Corn-lawn is still in favour of the landed interest, the measure will not be carried if the people do not exert themsehes. The aristocracy ought to be satisfied wall it, and make the most of their estates by dismissing their a;cnts, stewards, commissioners, &c., &e., and becoming more accessible to their tenants. Their estates, especially in the North of England, where the minerals are as valuable as the surface, are as productive to the above named gentry as to their oa tiers. The best farms and mines are let to 'them and their connexions on low terms, and the other tenants make up for this species of fraud. Some landlords are ad - vised not to grant leases, so that their tenantry may al ways be at the mercy of their agents, whilst others who have agents, with lawyers in their families, grant. short leases which are drawn up in such unintelligible lan guage and illegible writing as to be perfectly worthless to the tenants if they should be such fools as to go to law with their landlords. The aristocracy should take their affairs into their own hands, and give their tenants clear printed leases which may be understood, and which would not cost one penny exclusive of the stamp. Then they need Dot fear ally change in the Corn-laws, particularly such a one as is proposed by the Queen's Ministers. In fact, I believe, the cheapness of oats will be a great benefit to the owners and occupiers of pa-cure land, for the export of horses from this country, wi.lb , a immense. Young stock cannot be reared on the Continent, the winters being too cold for them to remain out, and take just the quantity of exercise nature re quires, and toe summers too hot and dry. Young horses should be out all the winter and have juicy grass in the summer, advantages which they cannot enjoy on the continent. I am, Sir. your most obedient servant, A MEMBER OF THE ANTI.CORN-LAW Manchester, May 12, 1841. LEAGUE. TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND. Feilaw-Countrymen,—The subject of the Corn-laws —a subject tar more important than any brought inr ward this Session—will te brought before Parliament in the beginning of June. Let us hope that the spirit of " party" will be laid aside, and that all parties will enter the arena of Corn-law monopoly with the deter mination to give this important and great national question that calm and just deliberation which it de serves, and which the happiness and prosperity of the country demands. That th ere w ill be great opposition shown to the repeal of those laws by some narrow minded men, there can be no doubt. It therefore be hoves you, my oppressed countrymen, to exert your selves, to send p e titi ons t o P ar li a ment for the abolition of those accursed laws—laws that disgrace our Statute. book—laws that deny your children bread—laws that are consigning thousands of your countrymen to misery, starvation, and premature graves! It is a law imposed expressly for the benefit of a few rich and monopolizing landlords at the expense of the poor and industrious classes—you have, therefore, to decide be tween justice and oppression ; and rememb er , " lie who allows oppression shares the crime." It i s f or you to say whether the monopolizing landlords shall any longer impose a burden upon the poor and industrious classes of E ng l an d, mis-called free, while those and «11 laws that cramp the industry of the people are allowed to exist. Arouse yourselves, then, my countrymen, and show yourselves equal to your task ; throw off the chains of Corn law monopoly, an d prove yourselves worthy the name of free men, for A day—ail hour—of virtuous liberty, I s worth a whole eternity in bondage In conclusion, I call upon you to let Parliament feel tl:e " pressure from without," that good may be done within.

CORN TRADE—UNITED STATES. From statements contained in a late number of fiat Cleveland Herald. it appears that the amount of wheat which arrived at Clevehand, in 1840, by the canal and by waggons, for export, and exclusive of home con sumption, was equal to 4,755.950 bushels. Several ether places on the lake in Ohio sxported large quanti ties. At Huron, for instance, the amount was equiva lent to 472,878 bushels. The whole amount of Ohio wheat exported last year, by way of Lake Erie, may be estimated at from five and a half to six million bushels. By the statement of the custom-house at Buffalo, there were entered at Buffalo and Black Rock, wheat and flour cquive.lent to 4,931,063 bushels of wheat. There entered the Welland canal, wheat and flour equi valent ta 2.873,845 bushels of wheat. The harvest of wheat last summer, in one county on Lake Michigan, was diminished by blight, below what was expected, as eatculnted by a Committee, 500,000 bu.bels. By the tratemeot of the canal colketor at Buffalo, 689,635 labia. of flaw-, equivalent to 3,448,175 bushels of wheat, at five bushels to the barrel, was cleared for the East. Ot the quantity passing the Welland canal there arrived at Oswego 707,157 bushels of wheat, and 8,465 bhls. of flour, and of this, 83,849 bushels of wheat and 116,300 bbls. of flour (much of the wheat being ground there) were shipped ; East on the canal from Oswego, and 35,579 bbls. ()flour to Canada. Governor Seward, In his Message to the Legislature in January last, stated that there was delivered in 1840 at the Eastern t erm i nat i on o f t h e E r i e canal, wheat 'and flour equivalent to 10,420,870 bushels of wheat. Deduct shipments from BuffAa and Oswego, 4,691,402, And there remains of said total, 4,729,463 bushels of wheat, which must have been grown in New York. The annual export of wheat and flour from the whole United States to foreign countries, bas not on an averafe equalled that of Cleveland the last year. The quantity sent to Canada was equal to 2,309,443 bushels. About one-third of the Western wheat went to twenty different points above Montreal ; and so com pletely did this quantity fill these ports, that the farm ers, waking up to the threatened destruction of their interests, immediately petitioned the Home Govern ment to lay duties on the importation from the United States, virtually shutting out the unwelcome flood. At Kingston the accumulation had increased to a complete glut, choking up the Sr. Lawrence, and occupying not only all the facilities of transport on a line of navigation traversed . for nearly two centuries, but had so taken up all the means of storage, that large quantities for some time lay out of doors. . The quantity sent to Canada, as above stated, vas The exports from Quebec and Montreal 2,309,441 1,688,195 • The deficiency is £621,248 Thus it would seem that Caiattia did nut raise her own bread. SUGAR DUTIES. TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE SUN. SIR-I rejoice at the measures taken by her Ma jesty's Ministers ; they are not only just, but demanded by the greatest number. The monopolists will now declare themselves the enemies of the people, and legis k e for themselves to plunder the people. I believe the Whig Ministers will be stronger by a dissolution tilan ever. I hope the Ministers will come to the country with the cry of " Cheap bread and the Queen," a cry which would be understood much better than the old cry of " Church and King." Some of the monopolists endeavour to make it appear that the (lir ferente in price to the people on sugar would be about -id. per lb, instead of which it would be about 2d. per lb. As regards slave sugar the public are deceit ed ; we are the only country that use West India sugar. is too dear for any country but this : and so it will be if 12s. extra duty is charged on foreign growth. Tie twenty millions is nothing compared with what are now paid. The people of England pay the West India planters on 248,000 tons of sugar, at 28/. per ton—extra price fur last year 1840, at least a sum of 7,944,0001, a round sum for West India planters to roll about Cheltenham, Bath, and the West. End, in idleness and luxury, at the expense of the poor sugar consumers. By the change in the West Indies the planters are great gainers ; furry-five labourers at 4s. 6d. for four days, do the work of - 170 slaves. (See Mr. Gurney's West Indies.) I hope it the monopolists are to govern this country, that the people of England will set up an Anti-Sugar Society, which will soon bring these gentlemen to their senses. The fact is, that the parsons, landowners, West India planters, all pull against the people, are they are all enemies to the greatest number; but tile time is last approaching when they will find the people will not be imposed on. - I am, &c. May 14. TOCKINGTON. P.S. Can you inform rne how it is that the very humane planters and anti•slave gentlemen, kind tender-hearted creatures as they all tnust he, should forget the free labourers in St. Domingo. Why not reduce the duty on their sugar and coffer, and let us have it. Perhaps you can also inform me the price of labour in growing a cut. Vsugar ; it is Gs. we are then giving 6s. fur nothing. Tom is no more reason why we shotild ktep Wert India planters and land owners riding about in carriages, than we should keep the workhouses supplied with wine for dinner, and brandy for supper. ABOLITION OF CAPITAL PU NISHMENTS. (From the New York Journal qlConimerce.) Mr. O'Sullivan, from the Select Committee to which was referred so much of the Governor's Message as re lutes to the subject of capital punishment, and also pe titions from sundry citizens, praying tor the repeal of all laws authorizing the infl ction of such punishment in this State, has brought in a long report favourable to the views of the pe!it:oners. It proposes as a substi tute, Imprisonment for life, in solitude and at labour, and also to take away from the Governor the power to grant a pardon for treason, murder, or arson in the first (!e A ree. After conviction for either of these crimes, the Governor may, on the discovery of any new or ma terial evidence in favour of the accused, grant a new trial. No law shall be passel in any of the said cases, to pardon or mitigate the sentence of any prisoner con. victed of the crimes just. mentioned, within twenty years from the date of such conviction ; and then such a law must have the concur►ence of two-thirds of all the members of each branch of the Legislature. For these purposes, a Bill and a concurrent resolution to amend the Constitution are annexed to the report. Among the reasons used in the report for the aboli tion of capital punishment, is the uncertainty of convic lion. Every criminal lawyer in the State, of any ex tended practice, will regard this remark as a truism. It is vain to talk of jurors' oaths—they will violate them, by what their consciences regard as only pious perjuries, under a thousand pleas of technical deficiencies or perfections of evidence. The axiom is familiur to all, that it is the ccrt.iit ty, not the increased severity of the punishment, that deters from crime. It is no untried experiment that is here proposed, says the report. Other communities, with far interior general moral culture, have abolished the punishment of death, atul with such success us amply to justify us in the great reform. Throughout all the better age of the Roman republic, for a period of about two centuries and a ball, the infliction of the punishment of death upon a Roman citizen for any cause whatever, was tx pressly forbidden by the famous Porcian law—a demo. cratic law, passed in 454r1i year of Rome, by the tri bune Porcius Locca. •` In this period," wri tes Black stone, " the republic flourished. Under the Emperors, severe punishments were revived, and then the empire In ancient Egypt, under Sabaco,'for a period of fity years, as Herudotus and Diodorus Sionlus inform u*-, these penalties were changed with touch success into stated kinds of labour, and Grotius recommends this example to other nations. The Empress Elizi.bcth, of Russia, on ascending the throne, pledged herself never to 'abet the punishment of death ; and throughout her reign of twenty years she kept the noble pledge. Tile great Catharine adopted it. with the exception of very rare offences against the State. " lt," said she, " I can show that in the ordinary state of society the death of a citizen is in:idler useful nor neces sary, I shall have pleaded the cause of humanity with suc cess." From that day to the present, there have been but two ocea-ions on which the punishment of death has been inflict-d in Russia. The Count de Segur, on his return from his embassy at St. Petersburg!), decidred that Russia, under the operation of this law, was one of the countries in which the least number of murders was committed ; and added that Catharine often said to him, " We must punish crime without iniit , iting it ; the punishment of death is rarely anything but a useless barbarity." _ _ During the seven years of the Recordership of the celebrated Sir James Mackintosh, at Bombay, in India, the punishment of death was never once inflict in the Court over which he presided. Of which, he says, " Considering all the circumstances, it will appear that the capital crimes committed during the last sevep years, with no capital execution, have, in proportion to the population, not been much more than a third of those committed in the first seven years, notwithstand ing the infliction of death on forty-seven persons." In Tuscany the most satisfactory experiment has been made. The Grand Duke Leopold, in 1765, mho fished the torture and the punishment of death. After an experiment of twenty-one years, he issued a solemn edict in which he declared that, instead of increas'ng, smaller crimes had considerably diminished, and atro.. cious ones had become very rare. And he proceeds to say," We have reolved to abolish,and by the present law do abolish, for ever, the punishment of death." A report to the French Chamber of Deputies in 183 U states that " The mildacss of the penal le4islation it, Tuscany bad so improved the character of tile penile there, that there was a time when the prisons of th v Grand Duchy were found entirely empty. Ra oid enough to prove sufficiently that the abolition of the punishment of death is capable of producing the most salutary effects."

Perhaps we might hesitate to go the whole figure at (Mee, but when we see how the most horrid crimes stalk abroad in the land, increasiug both in number and (if possille) in enorre:ty, in spite of laws deeree an ignominious death as the penalty for their p'erpct ;vim), we a e (Iris en to the alternative either of admitting that all punishment is ineffectual for the. pre vention of crime, or that the kind of Punishment awarded tis the most fisgratit crimes, is not tit-n adapted to se cnre its object.
