EV I ENING SUN SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM /HS EVENING PAYEES OF WEDNESDAY. GLOBE.—The Tories have a sad knack of anticipating in some instances, however they may delay in others ; and though very backward in declaring their own views, they are exceedingly forward in construing the motives and intentions of her Majesty. The other day they wanted to write the Queen's Speech—an arrangement which they hinted would have,been in the highest de gree acceptable to the Sovereign, who, it is alleged, is so well disposed towards a Tory Ministry, that her private wish was to have said, on the opening of Parliament, exactly what Sir Robert Peel thinks she ought to say. This morning we are told that her -Majesty's neces sary absence from the House of Lords arises from nothing at all but a determination not "to be dragged through the mire " by her present Ministers. We are at a loss to conjecture where "the mire " is to be found which her Majesty would be compelled to encounter, un less it be the Tory majority in the new Parliament ; but we suppose- we must regard the expression as one of those " livery " metaphors which our polite contemporary has the unhappy propensity of bringing ,up from the depot at Billingsgate. Where our contemporary gets his information of the personal wishes of the Sovereign, we should be glad to learn; for if there are any of the servants of the palace, who make up stories to tell the footmen, who tell the housemaids, who tell the butchers' boys, who tell the omnibus cads, whe tell the newspaper boys, who tell the Post's printer's devil, who tells the Editor, the practice ought, for the sake of our gullible and gos siping neighbour, to be put a stop to as speedily as possi ble. But let us seriously ask the Tory organ what would have been the nature of its contents if, in the present situation of her Majesty, she had been advised to meet in person the new Parliament ? No insults would have been too gross, no allusions too indelicate, to have been applied to the act ; and even the vituperative faculties of the Tory Journalists would have needed refreshing. at these fountains of coarseness and impurity which flowed daily and nightly through their columns at the period when the unfortunate affair of the late lamented Lady Flora Hastings gave an excuse for calumny against the Queen and the Court, under the pretext of sympathy. STANDARD—The Globe of last evening contains the following apparently official announcement : " As, in her Majeilv's present condition, any under taking involving anxiety or fatigue might prove inju rious, we understand that Dr. Locock has interposed his veto ; and that the new Parliament will be opened by Commission, instead of by the Queen in person." It would thus appear that her Majesty will not open the first session of the new Parliament in person. We rejoice, however, that we are enabled to slay the anxiety which the above intimation is calculated to excite, by stating, which we do on unquestionable authority, that her Majesty is in the best possible health, and that there is no more pretext for the apprehension that the fatigue of opening Parliament in person will be more injurious to her now than there has been on any of the previous occasions on which she has proved herself so fully equal:to the exertion. Last year, it will be remem bered, her Majesty pro rogued Parliament in precisely the same " condition, without suffering the slightest inconvenience from the effort ; and the anxiety she has manifested on all similar occasions to undertake this duty in person, and the energy with which she has invariably performed it, forbid the belief that she would not deliver the Speech from the Throne herself, on Wednesday next, did not circumstances wholly uncon nected with the state of her health preclude her from so dohsll% It is, indeed, most agreeable to her Majesty's loyal ;Objects to believe that she has been deterred from appearing Parliament in person, not by the state of her healtfi, or by her apprehension of fatigue, but by her unwillingness to perform the unpleasant task her Ministers have imposed upon her. It is not improbable, moreover, that her Majesty may have been further influenced in her determination by the im pudent and indecent boasts of the Ministerial journals, not only of the certainty of her appearance in the House of Lords on Tuesday, but of the marked manner" in which she would declare her approbation of the late budset, and commend it to the notice of Parliament. lloweOr great the disappointment to which her absence will give rise, the consciousness that she has been spared a portion of the mortification which her Ministers would have imposed upon her will fully compensate for it. SIT (MARY OF THE EVENDIC PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. The Globe severely reprehends the Times for its pro fligate inconsistency of opinion as. regards the present Corn-laws. It shows that the Times, while it admits the present system to be injurious to the interests of Britain is a commercial country, with characteristic public spirit recommends, that it had better be left to work its way, rather than disturb the quiet of Sir Robert Peel by exciting popular attention to its operations, or compel Conservatives to violate those deluding promises to the Monopolists, on the faith of which they were returned to Parliament. The Courier, in a very plethoric article, attempts to attack the whold Whig school of politics for their con stant and strenuous exposure of the Anti-Corn-law falla cies, and, with a feebleness of argument matched only by its own fictitious statements, foolishly seeks to grapple with Leviathan. A boisterous attack is then made upon .Mr. Cobden, of the , Manchester Conference, whose alleged perversions of truth are superlatively eclipsed by the ab surdities and falsehoods of his reviewer. The Standard is angry at the presumptuous opportu nities taken by the Whig press of ascribing actions and , motross to her Majesty, which the Standard considers her wholly incapable of, and runs full tilt at the assertion of the ChroNiele upon the Queen's absence from Parlia ment, that " ITer Majesty's Ministers she does meet— her Parliament not." The Standard hopes ardently that it may not be guilty of any disrespect to her Majesty in placing the slightest confidenw in any intimations of the same colour as the above. THE ARMY.

DEATH OF GEORGE CRICHTON, ESQ.—It is our painful duty to record the sudden death of Mr. Crichton, Manager at Leith, for the London, Edinburgh, and Glasgow Shipping Company. Mr. Crichton had been afflicted with an attack of paralysis some years ago, from the effects of which, however, he had, to appear ance at least, almost wholly recovered. He was twice at church last Sunday, and went to bed in his usual health, but during the night he complained of difficult breathing, and expired in the course of a few minutes. Mr. Crichton was an industrious and active citizen, and man of business, and at one period of his life took much interest in:rthe civic matters, both of Edinburgh and Leith, but more especially as regarded the obtain iog of facilities for the trade of the port.—Edinburgh Adilrtiser. SALMON AND GRILSE.—The river Tweed, from Berw!ek to Kelso, has for some time past been lite rally teeming with salmon and grilse. On Sunday night, 'about eight o'clock, hundreds were seen passing up the river at the Ferry, at Sprouston, and other shallow parts, and on Itonday morning great numbers were observed making their way from Maxwheel through the different arches ofKelso-bridge ; and above the bridge, where the river is very shallow a t p resen t, they were seen in i mmense shoals ploughing their way up the water. Altogether it was a novel and interest ing sight, and shows clearly the unprecedented number of fish which must be at the mouth of the river. The neighbouring markets have been abundantly supplied all this week with fish of excellent quality, and at very mo derate prices. Salmon have been selling at 6d. to Ea, and grilses from sd. to 6d. per lb.—Newcastle Journal. QUAILS.--A bevy of these rare and delicate little birds were discovered a few days Nance, in a small patch of wild ground near Beaulieu, on alp Toad to bouthampton. They were taken by the parties who firg saw them to be young partridges ; but an old sporting officer, the moment he viewed them, pron o u nced them to be q ua il s , h e having shot numbers of them when_ so journing i n the southern provinces of Spain. The above bird is very seldom t o b e met with in a wild state in this country. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.- - VESTZRDAY.

" In the morning, the mist was rolling lazily along the sides of the mountains in dense masses, and it was evi dent there would be rain before the close of the day. It was enough to damp the heart of the most ardent deer stalker, but I determined (having little time to spare) to abide by the forester's opinion. His answer was, that ' we would just do our best ; but if we were unsuccessful 0-day I must e'en wait for to-morrow.' With this de termination we started for the forest, followed by an un der-keeper, with one of Lord Breadalbane's fine deer hounds, led in a leash. A slight breeze at first sprung up, and partially cleared away the mist from some of the lower hills. The quick eye of Robertson immediately discovered a deer lying down upon the ridge of one of them. Ills glass was instantly fixed. ' There, Sir, if you could manage that fellow, you would have one of the finest harts in the forest.' Well, suppose we go round by the back of the hill, and come down that hollow, we should be within fair distance from the rock.' If he'll n and g i ve us time enough.' This, however, o the lY' nstage still,ha had determined not to do, for when we came to the bellow , he had risen from his rocky couch, and was immediately detected by Robertson, quietly taking his breakfast, among his hinds, a considerable way below. The place was so open allround that it was impossible to get near him, and the mist soon afterwards came on so thick that we only knew ths4 the deer were all round us by their incessent bellowing, The forester looked much disconcerted, for, in addition to the mist, a drizzling rain began to descend. We sat down behind a hillock, and I desired the under-keeper to produce the provi sion-basket's 'lf there was only a breeze,' says Robert son, ' and I dci believe it's Poulin', for the drops o' rain are much heavier.'' A—nd,so it proved, far the mist again partially cleared. We hastened to take advantego of the change, and Robertson , ten yards in advance , mount ing every knoll and searching every hollow with all eye that seemed to penetrate the very mist, suddenly threw him self upon the ground, and signaled us to do the same. A roar like that -of a bull presently let 114 know the cause, and on a little amphitheatre about 4ve hun dred yards off, his profile in full relief, stood as noble a stag as ever ' tossed his beamed frontlet to the sky.' rhere he was, like knight of old, every now and then sounding his trumpet of defiance, and courting the battle and the strife. Nor did he ehallense in vain, for while we were admiring his majestic attitude, another champion rushed upon him, and a fierce encounter followed. We could distinctly hear the crashing of their horns, as they alternately drove each other to the extremity of the lists. ' I wish the ball was through the heart o one o' ye !' muttered the undetelteeper, His wishes were soon to be realised, for the younger knight, who seemed to haye the advantage in courage and activity, at last fairly drove hie adversary over the knoll and disappeared after him. Robertson now rushed forward signing to ine to follow, and peeping cautiously over the scene of contest, sleek hack again, and crawled on hand and knee up a hollow to a hillock immediately beyond : I following his example. When we had gained this point, he took another wary survey, anti whispered that the hinds were on the other side of the knoll within thirty yards. ft was now a nervous time, but I could not help admiring the coolness of the forester. Without the least appearance of flurry, hP had both eyes and ears open, and save his directions with die, tinetness and precision, ' That will do ; there goes a hind, the whole will follow.' Place your rifle on that stone, you'll get a famous chance about eighty yards,' He'll come at !a.st, , he again whispered, as hind after hind slowly passed I , n review, when a roar was heard immediately below us. sure as I'm leevin' he's cumin' on the very tap o' us. hold the rifle this way, Sir, .and shoot him between the horns the moment his head comes ow'r the knowe.' I had scarcely altered my position when head, horns, and all appeared in full view. Seeing us in a moment, he was out of sight at a bound, but taking a direction round the base of the hillock, presented his broadside a beautiful cross-shot, I had plenty of time for deliberate aim, and the Red lint& of the Wilds lay low a nd bleeding."—Colphoun's M oe , and Loch. MARRIAGE OF Miss DUEY OP DELGATt CASTLE To Mn. RicAnno, M.P.—The marriage of M . #4 D u ff, daughter of General the Hon.

The youthful and accomplished bride was given away by her noble uncle, the Earl of Fife; and the ceremony was performed by the Rev, Mr. Gordon of Montquhitter.

SUN, LONDtJN, AiJG[Twil 20. 1841 THREE THURSDAYS IN ONE WEEI:. (From an old MS. in French,) Of all the paradoxes there is none more surprising or more calculated to disturb the mind than that which as: serts the possibility of having three Thursdays in one week. It is, notwithstanding , possible, and during the last century it was demonstrated more than once. Cir cumnavigators in their voyages round the world have discovered the fact. The ancients never entertained an idea of the possibility of such a thing. It was a matter of astonishment to seamen sailing Eastward round the world, .to find on their return to the place from whence they commenced their voyage that they had gained a day. It was Thursday with them, and Wednesday at the ialace of their arrival. On the contrary, those who sailed 'Vest: ward round the world, counted on their return, one day less to have passed than those did who had continued all the while at the place from whence the ship set out, so that it was Wednesday with the circumnavigators, and Thursday at the place Of their arrival, As the pilots and others kept ,journals, and paid strict attention to every occurrence during the voyage, they were in the first instance at a loss to account for the diffbrenee they found between the journals of those who sailed Rag, and those who had taken a Westerly course. They accused each other of negligence, and the dispute led to a strong contest, Several 4410 mathematicians at last discovered the cause, They found that the difference in time was occasioned by the laws of nature, and not the fault of 1 gr vi , The reason will be easily seen. Every 15 navigators. upon s the equator is equal to one hour of time, n de a and the vessel sailing East is always approaching sun rising. When they have sailed fifteen degrees East from the meridian of London, it will be noon one hour sooner than with those of London, When they reach the meridian of Cairo, thirty degrees East of Lon don, they will have noon two hours sooner than those at London, and so on in the same pro portion. Every meridian they arrive at will bring the natural day one hour sooner than at London, so that when they have gone quite round the globe, and return ed to London again, they will have gone 360 degrees, and it will be noon, according to their reckoning, 24 hours or a whole day sooner than to those who stay at London; or, Thursday with them when it is but Wednesday noon in England. On the other hand, if a ship set out from London and sails westward, when they come to the meridian of the Canary Islands, 15 degrees west of Lon don, their noon will be an hour later than at London. At 30 degrees west, it will be noon two hours later than at London, and when they get round to London again through the 24 meridians, their natural day will be 24 hours later than at London, or Wednesday noon with them whilst it is Thursday noon at London. In this affair it Is not IlePess4ly . a ship_ should go round the globe upon the equator, it 14 44 1 11430 t if she passes through the several meridians as all navigators must who go round the globe eastward or westward. For example : suppose a traveller embarks at Rochelle to go to the Beat Indies, when he shall arrive at the distance of 180 de ''reel 14ast inngitttd? ! 441; 43 cir cumference of the earth, it will be midnight there and noon at Rochelle. It follows that, in making the whole circle of the globe, he will gain twenty-four - hones upon the day at Rochelle, If it i 3 Wednesday at Rochelle when he returns, it will then be Thursday with him. The next day is Thursday at Rochelle ; thus there are two Thursdays in a week, To find a third in this same week, we must despatch another navigator to sail from East to West, When he has reached 1.80 degrees of longitude he will find himself opposite to that of Ro chelle, and it will be Tuesday midnight when they will have noon of Wednesday at Rochelle, And, as the thing is very possible, if those who sailed East and those who sailed West should meet at Rochelle, they would find a difference of twenty-four hours between their reckoning. The Wednesday at Rochelle is Thursday for those who went to the East, because they pined a day, Secondly, the Friday of Rochelle is Thursday to those who sailed West, because they have lost a day, The Thursday at Rochelle is the third. Thus, according to time, there are three Thursdays in one week, TRADE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND CHINA. (From Alexander's East India Magazine.) This trade is based on a mere interchange of the respective national productions. On the part of the Chinese, it consists chiefly in the barter of t ea f or va rious kinds of Russian produce and manufactured arti cles. In the regular course the traffic commences between the dealers of the two nations in January, and concludes in March, durine , which period the Rus sians obtain about 80,000 chests of different sorts of tea, about one-half of which is destined for the annual July fair of Nishninovogorod, and the remainder is conveyed to Moscow, and other towns of the in terior. This barter forms one of the principal branches of Russian industry, and has a very beneficial influence on other commercial operations. The traffic is always active and flourishing, for there is constantly a great demand for the tea imported by the way of Kiachta, and many Russian products, not much in request in the home market, are disposed of in large quantities to the Chinese. The transport of the respec tive articles is very difficult, and, in consequence of the great distance they are conveyed, a long period must ne cessarily elapse before they reach their destination. The transport gives employment, on the Russian side, to the po pulation of 5,000 versts of country, for such is the ex tent of the distance between Perm, the most remote town of European Russia, and Kiachta, the extreme eastern point of Asiatic Russia. To this population the trade affords not only a sufficient subsistence, but even a considerable surplus gain. The Russian manu factories, chiefly in request by the Chinese, are woollen stuffs and cloths, such as ladies' cloth, Dutch camlets, &c. The manufactory of the Counsellor Alex androv in Moscow, produces these articles in time quality and form best suited to the fantastic taste of the Chinese. Next in order may be mentioned Rubnikov and Son, the brothers Babkin and Dobrohtov-Maikov, also of Moscow, as the most successful manufacturers for the Chinese market. They have distinguished themselves by the strange forms and fashions they give to the articles they produce in pieces of from twenty-five to forty arshins, and of different prices, according to the quality. Last year 40,000 pieces of Russian cloth were sent to Kiachta. The other gooods in request are plush stuffs, leather wares, particularly the favourite leather of Casan, and peltry, more particularly the lambskins of the , Ukraine. All these articles are exchanged for tea; large capitals are therefore employed in carrying on this trade. The value of the Russian merchandise sent last year to Kiachta exceeded 24,000,000 rubles. The quantity of tea imported amounted to 80,000 chests, of which 35,000 were of the finest sort, the remaining 45,000 being of inferior quality. There are about thirty different species of tea. Of the green, which is distin guished from all the others in form and taste, only from 100 to 200 chests are imported. There is a very remark able kind, called tile tea, the leaf of whi c h resem bl es a . tea, the tile in form, and has also much solidity. It is prepared in quite a different manner from common tea, beingstewed with milk, butter, salt, and herbs, and served u p as a dish, It is accordingly rather an article of food than a beverage. Tho Russians do not use it themselves, but sell it to the Armenians and Tartars, who distribute it to the Caucasian provinces and Eastern Siberia. The Cal mneks, Kirgliesis, and Burats, consume the greater p ar t of it, Besides tea, the Chinese bring other articles to Ki aa ht a , th e chief of which are satin, crape, pipes, toys, cakes of ink, and colours ; but the value of these does not amount altoother to 30,000 rubles bance, Before the Russians, the greater number of whom remain only a short time at Riaclita, offer to barter, they meet and draw up in common a price current, to which they strictly adhere, It saves them much trouble in their dealings. The Chinese appear far more eager to get off their tea than the Russians are to exchange their manufaetures, The former have seldom any thing left at the close of the market, whereas the Russians often hold back considerable stocks. After the Russo-Ame rican Company, which has a great share in this trade, the meg considerable Russian importers of tea are the Ko lessovs, LabitAii.o / 11114 fiYP other mercantile houses in Moscow, Bassin Kiachta and Medvednikov In Irkutsk. The great advantages of this trade, not only to the Russian merchants engaged in it, but to the inhabitants of tk intermediate route of transport, was rendered strikingly evident by the failure of the harvest and con sequent dearth in isas.o, The employment then afforded by this traffic proved a great relief to the poor people pf those districts. It may, therefore, be looked upon as the most beneficial branch of Russian commerce, but more considerable funds are required for its develop ment than have hitherto been at the command of our merchants. The little town of Kiachta, on the river of the same name, distant only three versts from the Chinese vil lage Maimadshin, is two and a half versts in circumfer ence. All the wants of the inhabitants of Kiatchta are supplied by their trade, and the town ranks as a free port. In order, however, to prevent every kind of smuggling, the strictest vigilance is observed day and night by the officers of the customs, and nothing imported or exported escapes inspection. As stations for mercan tile deposits must have market-places and warehouses, and as those of Kiachta are decayed, and have not suffi cient space for great stores of goods, an elegant new market-place is about to be constructed, for the expense of which 1,072,000 rubles are destined, in accordance with the architect's estimate. The merchants are also building a church, which, though not yet finished, has cost 400,000 rubles. The houses, which are entirely of wood, are large and spacious within, and have a hand some appearance. During the period of barter in the winter months the surplus population cannot be accommodated without difficulty, and lodgings are, there fore, very dear. The ordinary resident population does not exceed 400 of both sexes. Kiachta has fourteen merchants of the first guild, but only seven of them have fixed residences in the place. The others, who reside in European Russia employ factors, and only visit Kiaehta occasionally. A school for instruction in the Chinese laugua,p was established in 1835. The young men taught In It will be employed as interpreters. In 1840 the first seven were tfl§misseci t having completed their studies.

Benjamin Hawes and Tennyson D'Eyncourt, in celebra tion of their late triumphant return for the Borough. The dinner was served in the Rotunda of Vauxhall-gardens; every disposable seat was occupied during the evening, and the utmost enthusiasm seemed to pervade the Assem bly. A number of ladies were seated in the gallery. Wm. HAWES, Esq., filled the Chair. On the right of the Chairman sat his brother, Mr. B. Hawes, M.P.; Mr. Warburton, M.P; Mr. S. Palmer, &c.; and on the left of the Chairman Mr. T. D'Eyncourt, M.P.; Mr. Larpent, M.P. ; Mr. Easthope, M.P.; Mr. Morris, M.P.; Mr. Hutton, the late Member for Dublin, &c. The dinner having been disposed of, ' The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the first toast on his list— " The Queen."—(Loud and long continued cheers.) Her Majesty had endeared herself to her people by the interest she had ever manifested in their welfare. It was rare in the history of any country to find a sovereign as sociating her cause with that of her people; and it was this circtunstanoe which made her present Most dracious Majesty the admiration not only of this country, but of the whole civilised world.—(Great cheering.) The toast was drank with unbounded applause. The next toasts were—" The Princess Royal ;" " Prince Albert, and the rest of th e R oya l F am il y ;" and "The People, the only source of all legitimate power." The toasts were all duly honoured. Mr. WARBURTON, M.P., then came forward, amidst great cheering, to propose the health of Mr. B. Hawes, one of the Members for the borough. No duty, he would assure them, could afford him a deeper or a more sincere pleasure. He had been long and intimately ac quainted with Mr. Hawes, and in his belief there was no individual in whose industry and undeviating recti tude they could place a greater confidence, or who was more worthy of representing their borough.---(Cheers.) No gentleman had ever given him a vote who did not anticipate how he would use it upon any one occasion, and no one had ever, in any instance, felt disappointed in his expectations. Consistency was the most valu able quality in a public man--(Hear, hear)—and if Tories themselves respected that quality, how much more was it entitled to the gratitude and confidence of the friends of freedom and 'of justice ? Their Member, Mr. Hawes, had the additional recom mendation of being intimately acquainted with those com mercial subjects which so deeply interest a metropolitan constituency. For his (Mr. Warburton's) part he be lieved that out of every hundred subjects he agreed in ninety-nine at least with their honourable representative. He agreed with him as to the necessity of extending the basis of popular liberty l and he agreed with him in supporting those emunsercial improvements which would tend so materially to promote the happiness of the com munity, and to alleviate the distresses of the Vsiglish people. With the utmost pleasure, there&re,, he pro posed the health of their osteentesi Tel?reseistative, Ilawe8 ; eitegs.)j tags; ciAlkati with great tiltilklailksM. Mr. B. 114wESIITA loudly ehotged in rising to • respond to the tolgt i wae hsippy to find !Jut- . after having 11 7.. - s . c consistently, upon served them in Parliament, at Y' the still continued to him upon that t t h he eir pr o in o e n i ti p a le en s hear.) Anxious as he was o_ceaelen to give expression to that gratitude, which y tilled his bosom wh en h e saw so l arge an assenshlege the electors of Lambeth met for the purpose of celebrating the late triumph of reform in the borough ---anxious as he was to express to them his acknowledgments for the honour they had done him, he would tell them, 418 he had often told them before, that the hest thanks he could offer them would be the COnsistent advocacy of the principles upon which he had sought their suffrages.—(Cheers.) Of personal obliga tions to the electors he had many to acknowledge--the kindness, the disinterestedness, the zeal, the labour, and the anxietywhieh numbers of those around him had en countered, in order that he might have the honour of representing them in Parliament, might indeed well de serve a grateful return. But he knew them well—he knew they were men of principle, and upon principle alone lie would address them ; and he should thank them by the services which, in his public capacity, he should endeavour to perform.—(Loud cheers.) They all knew that, at the recent election, they were somewhat taken by surprise • and he understood th a t M r . B a ld w i n, w h o had been his opponent upon the occasion, had been pleased to say that he had pulled down his ma jority.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") But he would tell Mr. Baldwin, that he should ever look in vain fox' the suffrages of the electors of Lambeth. He would answer for the zeal—the unpurchaseable zeal of the electors of the borough, in upholding the cause of Re form, of which he (Mr. Hawes) was the humble and un worthy representative.—(No, no.) He believed that if the Tories ever again showed their faces upon the hustings—and he was told that they would, cost what it might—he believed that they would, in such a case, be defeated by a sufficient number of votes (if votes would satisfy them) to deter them from ever again con testing the borough.—(Hear, hear.) He had heard, however, cost what it might—that was the phrase—they would again endeavour to return a Conservative Mem ber for Lambeth. Yes, cost what it might, "there was the rule."—(Hear, hear.) Now what did it cost his Right Hon.. Friend and himself during their late can vass ? Nothing but thanks.—(Great cheering) And he would tell their opponents that they might open their purses in that enlightened borough, but that they would only meet with indignant reproofs.—(Hear, hear.) He was perfectly aware that i t e some cases he might have given votes displeasing to some among his constituents ; and every effort had been made in consequence to pre judice him in the eyes of many of his supporters. And what was the result ? Why he had again, by a most triumphant majority, been entrusted with the honour of representing the borough in Parliament.—(Cheers.) The history of the past, however, would teach them in future, even upon the rumour of a dissolution, to prepare for the contest.—(Hear, hear.) They were now on the eve of the meeting of a new Parliament, and, peradventure, a new Ministry. When he had, upon a former occasion, stood a candidate for the borough in the year 1835, he had offered himself in opposition to a Tory Government headed by Sir Robert Peel ; and he was likely, in conjunction with his Hon. Friends around him, to be opposed to Sir Robert Peel in the newly elected House of Commons. He had, since he first soli cited their suffrages, lost none of his hostility to the principles of Toryism. A better acquaintance with the men, a more close examination of their principles, and a deeper knowledge of the interest they had in opposing the interests of the people—(Hear, hear)—had not in duced him to waver in the slightest degree in giving his determined opposition to the policy which they invariably pursued. He thought they were entitled to ask what course he meant to adopt upon the groat questions likely to arise in the ensuing Session, and he should willingly give them every explanation upon the subject. Let him say, in the first place, that the expectations of the people in the Parliament that was about to assemble were great. Their friends were no doubt in a minority, but they looked to their energy and perseverance to supply their inferiority in numbers ; and, for his part, he believed that there was a spirit among them which would make the minority on the occasion. almost a governing party. —(Cheers.) The public would expect in future some thing more than the mere struggle of parties —they would not be content to look on while "Tories mar what Whigs have scarce begun, And Whigs undo what Whigs themselves have done." They would expect, and justly upon the part of their re presentatives in Parliament, steadfastness of action and earnestness of purpose ; and even if those representa tives failed they should not at least fail from a want of honesty and exertion.—(Hear, hear.) For his part he did not know any subject upon which his constituents were not already acquainted with his sentiments. Upon the great question of trade he was an out-and-out free trader.—(Loud and long continued cheering.) And he was attached to the principle of free-trade because he believed it was based upon justice and upon truth, be• ciluse every effort they made to place their commercial legislation upon a sound basis was an effort towards placing the legislation, aye, and the taxation of the coun try upon an honest basis—(Cheers)—and because while any set of men put their hands into their neighbours' pockets he held them to be neither more nor less than men voting dishonestly for selfish purposes.—(Hear . ) His Hon. Friend had stated that in ninety-nine ques tions out of a hundred they were agreed ; but he, for his part, should be at a loss to find out the hundredth upon which they differed. He agreed with his Hon. Friend in thinking that the Reform Bill was a measure in which they might introduce important improvements. He was an advocate, too, for the removal of every enact ment which interfered with the honest exercise of the franchise.—(Cheers.) He w as therefore for vote by Ballot.—(Renewed cheers.) He should not feel satis fied until two things were accomplished through the in strumentality of the Radical party in Parliament—the first of which was the abolition of Ecclesiastical Courts; and the second was the total abolition of Church-rates.— (Loud and long-continued cheers.) He had ever been a friend to the principle of religious liberty ; and he was most anxious that they should all join heart and hand with their fellow-labourers, the Irish Liberals, in ob taining a repeal of the grievances of the Irish people.— (Cheers.) This was a time at which the English people ought to arise and proclaim with one voiee that no Go vernment should rule in Ireland which was not based upon the affections of the people.—(" Hear, hear," and loud cheers.) They ought to support the great leader of the Irish nation who had ever been the advocate of justice and of liberty for his country. His Right Hon, Colleague and himself were heartily united in principle, and they would continue to be so united, and to struggle in the same cause as long as they had the honour of representing the Electors of Lambeth. He should ob serve, in addition, that if the Tories when in power proposed just and honest measures, they should havQ the cordial support of the Liberal party. And if Sir Robert Peel should again play the tergiversator , they wo u ld offer him no oppo s iti on . If th e Tories proceeded upon the principle of justice and of true policy all would rally round them, and endeavour 40 make England a • . " Where wealth and commerce lift their golden heads, And o'er our labours, liberty, and laws, Impartial watch ; the wonder of the world." The Tion, Gentleman then concluded by thanking tho friends amnia him AA , the mu &yours he had received at their hands. Mr. LARPENT then proposed the health of Mr. T. D'Eyncourt—a gentleman whom he had known and re spected through life —who had been the companion of his youth, and the friend of his riper years.

Mr. EASTHOPE came forward amidst cheers to acknow ledge the toast. He congratulated the electors of Lam beth on the triumph whic they were then met to cele brate. He was delighted to find that they had sent to Parliament men who were the determined supporters of that civil and religious liberty which he was about to propose as a toast to the meeting. Unfortunately it did not always happen that the ministers of religion were the friends of popular rights. He was, however, happy to find among the order one splendid exception to that principle--the exception of one, distinguished by birth, genius. and learning —he meant the Rev. Baptist Noel —(Cheers)--the eloquent author of the " Plea for the Poor."—(Renewed cheers.) He was happy, too, to find that her Most Gracious Majesty had been pleased to manifest the interest which she felt in the same cause, by nomi nating the reverend gentleman as one of those from whom she was to receive the rites and consolations of religion.—(Cheers.)

Men might change, but principles remained fixed ; and numbers must dwindle when opposed to truth and justice.— (Cheers.) The Hon. Gentlemen concluded by proposing the toast of " Civil and Religious Liberty." The toast was drank with enthusiam. The CHAIRMAN, then proposed;" Lord Fortescue," and " Justice to Ireland."---(Great cheering.) Mr. Hurrorr, the late Member for Dublin, responded to the toast. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated at an early hour. SLAVE TRADE. • TO J. 11. TREDGOLD, ESQ., SECRETARY OF THE BRITISU AND FOREIGN ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETY. Hnnah, June 28, 1841. SIR —In my last of th e sth ava and 13th of May, per Pigeon packet, I informed you that the Portuguese slaver Aguila (the property of Messrs. Fernandez, Pozo, and Co., hardware merchants of this city) had been wrecked at the port of Cabanas, in this island, and about 470 of the surviving victims had been seized by the authorities, and conducted in safety to this port. I now beg leave to communicate to you some further particulars relative to this unprecedented occurrence. It would appear that many of those persons to whore, the Captain-General's circular was addressed had bel;_ evo d that his Excellency was sincere in ordering than every thing possible sh ou ld b e d one f or the effectu al suppression of the slave-trade ; the consequence was that the order was seconded by the Captain-Geller :I oiMarine, and by the Intendent,, who directed the . subaltern officers of their respective. departments to ... Y ield implicit obedience to the very letter of the ortleri. contained in the ci rcu l ar . sired, ha ai d t scareely- issued when the brig T rueno ar - Th" ' r having landed 450 Af r i cans on t h e coast. captain of the port, and the health officer, Doctor Francisco de Orta, immediately reported to the Captain- General the arrival of the Trueno, and informed hi m that there were strong sus pi c i ons of her having come from the coast of Africa, and of her having landed negroes on the island. The vessel was subjected to quarantine by the captain of the port, at the sug gestion of the health officer, until the Captain- General should determine on what course to pur sue. Two days were allowed to pass over without anything being done by the Captain-General towards instituting an inquiry into the case; in the meantime the owners of the vessel were enabled, through the conni vance of the authorities, to discharge every article from on board which could tend to prove the fact of her being actually a slaver •, and when the inquiry was instituted, as was anticipated, nothing was proved. This vessel has been again fitted' out, and is now ready for sea. A very few days had only elapsed after the case of the Trueno when the Aguila was wrecked at Cabanas, or, as it is positively asserted, was chased on shore by one of our cruisers. In the attempt to land the negroes upwards of thirty were drowned, and the re mainder were seized by Don Jose Lunar, the command ing officer of • the Intendant's revenue guard stationed at Cabanas. Don Jose Lunar immediately despatched an express to the Intendant, giving him information of their capture, and the Intendant, without loss of time, com municated it to the Captain-General, who sent the steam boat Tacon to Cabanas, and had them brought to this port, where they drrived the following day. On their arrival here the Captain-General summoned the Mixed Court to assemble, and offered to hand over the negroes for adjudication by that Court, according to the regula tions of the Treaty; but, strange to say, the English Com missary Judge, Mr Kennedy, in conjunction with his Spa nish colleague, the assessor Pinanso, refused to admit this most laudable offer of the Captain-General, declaring that the Mixed Court had no power whatever over them, nor had it any right to interfere with them, in consequence of their having been seized on shore by the authorities of the island. This is the substance of the opinion expressed by the English Commissary Judge at the meeting of the Court, and I am credibly informed that he was the only member wilt) evinced any desire to prevent the Court from in terfering. This most extraordinary proceeding, if not in direct opposition to the letter of th e treaty ( ?) is certainly opposed to the object and spirit of its regulations. The mere cir cumstance of the Captain-General's having addressed himself to the Mixed Court on the subject is sufficient to prove that, if Mr. Kennedy had wished to do so, the Court might with every propriety have taken charge of and passed the sentence of emancipation on those unfortunate persons, by which they would have been placed under the protection of the British Government, in conformity with the 13th article of the treaty. But now, in conse quence of the Mixed Court not having considered them selves bound t o t a k e cogn i zance o f th case, it becomes purely a Spanish question, with which, perhaps, it ma y hereafter be contend e d that we have not a right to in terfere, because the English Commissary Judge had already decreed the non-interference of the Court of Mixed Commission. The Spanish Commissary Judge is the Captain-Gene ral's Lieutenant-Governor and Assessor-General, and it is by no means probable that he would have opposed the interference of the Mixed Court, particularly after the offer which was made to it by the Captain-General. This deplorable event, proceeding, no doubt, from a want of proper zeal on the part of the English Commis sary Judge, has caused the Captain-General to emanci pate these negroes on his own authority, and in his own way. Forty-eight hours after the sentence of emanci pation was passed, his Excellency, in defiance of all laws human and divine, caused them to be reduced to the very worst sort of slavery which the world has ever known, by selling them to planters, owners of sugar estates, for a term of five years, for nine ounces of gold for a male, and seven ounces for a female. VI whom shall we appeal for redress, when English men, who are sent here for the special purpose of sup pressing the slave trade and watching over the fulfilment of the treaty, contribute, by their own con duct, to deeds so prejudicial to its object ? It is rumoured that the case of the negroes, by the Aguila, has caused a misunderstanding between the Captain-General and the Intendant, and that the result will be that he will not again interpose his authority to wards the fulfilment of the Captain-General's jesuitical orders. Indeed, it is said that the revenue coast-guards have already received a written order to wink at the dis embarkation of negroes. There were thirty-eight Africans drowned on board the wreck of the Aguila at Cabanas. These unfortu nate victims of the cruelty. and cupidity of the slave dealer, were the finest and most robust of the men com posing the cargo. Their unprincipled oppressors, who had not forgotten the case of the Armistad, fearing a similar attempt on board of the Aguila, had secured them in the hold in fetters, attached to a heavy rod of iron, and when the vessel struck the reef she filled so fast with water that these poor creatures were allowed to perish without an effort being made to save them. I cannot refrain from calling your attention to another circumstance, extremely prejudicial to the cause of African freedotn in this country, and which I submit is well deserving the attention of your society, in order, through its influence, to cleanse from the pollution of slave-holding the British name in this country. I allude to Mr. Clarke, the Consul at Santiago de Cuba, who is also the principal manager of one of the copper mines in that place, which is worked at this moment by 400 of the unfortunate victims of slave-dealing cupidity. With what grace can we appeal to the world in behalf of this interesting race of persons, when our own public officers contribute to the continuation ofslavery and the consequent degradation of our fellow-man ? Surely it must appear clear to the British Government, as well as to yourselves, that the man who is either directly or indirectly the holder of slaves cannot be a fit person to represent the British nation in this country, where his most active and untiring exertions are daily and hourly required to suppress the frightful progress of the slave trade ? What was the use of removing Mr. Hardy, if you were to appoint his successor in the management of the copper-mines at St. Jago in his stead ; and, above all, why remove Mr. Tolme from the Havannah, a man remarkable for the suavity of his manners, and genie ness of his disposition, if not for the austerity of his abolition principles, when at the other end of the island such men as Hardy and Clarke were left at full liberty to wield the cart-whip and the cow-hide ? It was only yesterday that I heard a worthy native, an abolitionist of my acquaintance, declare that the greater part of the British functionaries resident in this island might be compared to the priests, who preach the morality they do not practice. "Doas I bid you, but do not follow my example, is a doctrine from which no good can come, and such practices afford an obvious ex cuse for those of the slave-holders. I have just been informed that our Consul has suc ceeded in rescuing from slavery a British subject, a native of Jamaica, originally of free condition, who was stolen at that Island about ten years ago, and brought to this by a Spaniard named Jose Antonio le Desma, and who has held him in bondag e ever sin ce . It i s to b e hoped that the zeal and activit y for which Mr. Turnbull is so well known will enable him to resoue many others who still exist in this island in the same state of degradation.—l am, mile-440y, Sir, your most obedient servant. 9th--It is currently reported and believed that the amount produced by the sale of Africans by the Aguila has been handed over to Messrs.

I have the honour to transmit a copy of resolutions adopted at a meeting:of a number of the unemployed ope ratives of Paisley, on the 10th instant. These operatives have resolved to emigrate to Port Philip or Sydney, instead of remaining at home, with little or no chance of employment—dependent for sub sistence on the subscriptions of the charitable—a burden on their richer brethren. This resolution, they hope, will be looked on as laudable on their part, and that it will be countenanced by all who wish to see their countrymen living independently by means of their own honest industry, instead of being de graded into the condition of paupers. Free passages cannot be obtained, however, without. the emigrants being properly clothed ; this, for the rea sons stated in the resolutions, it is impossible for the parties to do, and they therefore have resolved to appeal to her Majesty and the Government, and to their wealthier countrymen, in the humble hope they will be induced to extend their generous aid to them on this occasion. Should you approve of their conduct, and favour them with your subscription, have the goodness to transmit it to John Scott, Esq., banker, Paisley, who, along with Provost Bisset, will take care of the fund, and see to its proper application. I ha;e the honour to be, your Very obedient servant, WILLIAM MORRISON, Chairman. Philosophical Hall, Paisley, Aug. 12, 1841. At Paisley, and within the Philosophical Hall there, the 10th day of August, 1841 years. At a numerous meeting of the unemployed opera tives of Paisley, and principally those who have been for some time working in the Town's Quarry, at Seed hill, and at other out-door labour, and who are paid out of the Relief Fund,—Mr. Wm. MORRISON in the Chair. The Meeting having been convened for the purpose of taking into consideration the expediency of emigrating to Port Philip or Sydney—free passages having been of fered to all eligible parties by one or other of : the bounty ships to sail from the Clyde during the present and en suing months of September and October, provided the parties can procure adequate clothing, or outfits for the voyage—the following resolutions were adopted : First—That from the embarrassed state of trade and manufactu! es in the town of Paisley, and throughout the county; generally, the meeting see no probability of a retit:rn of employment —at least for a long time—where ty they might be enabled to earn an adequate subsist ence for themselves, and wives, and children; and, there fore, that rather than remain at home dependent on the charity of others, in the shape of subscriptions and as sessments for relief of the unemployed, it is infinitely bet ter for all concerned that they should transfer their in dustry to one or other of the above mentioned Colonies, where there is a great demand for labour, and where the services of labouring men are consequently better re warded than at home. Second—That the meeting avail themselves of the opportunity of obtaining free passages by one or other of the bounty ships which will sail from the Clyde during the present season,and that theyuse every exertion to for ward the necessary Certificates, on or before the Ist Sep tember next, after which time the Colonial Land and Emigration! Commissioners have intimated no applica tions or certificates will , be registered or received. Third—That it is necessary that each emigrant be provided with proper clothing for the voyage. But as, from the long period of want of employment and poverty into which the unemployed operatives of Paisley have been thrown—their best clothing having been either sold or pawned—it is impossible that ;the parties can clothe themselves at their own expense, or from their own resources, and that an appeal be made therefore to her Mesty the Queen, t o h er M a j es ty' s G overnmen t, and to Lord Melbourne and the other individual mem bers of the Cabinet, and to the noble and wealthy of the land, in the hope that they will regard the resolution of the meeting as a praiseworthy attempt on their part to lift themselves from a state of poverty and dependence, to one in which they will be enabled to earn an honest and independent subsistence, and at the same time, free their native country from the burden of supporting them, while they will contribute to the extension of her Majesty's colonial empire, and to the glory of her reign, which like that of her illustrious predecessor, Elizabeth, will be promoted by giving encouragement to all measures of emigration and colonization. Fourth—That this appeal to her Majesty and the Government is necessary, because, from the numerous bankruptcies and insolvencies which have happened in the town, and the depressed state in which the town and neighbourhood are—anything like a local appeal for assistance would be quite in vain. The meeting under stand that the Committee having the management of the Relief Fund, have resolved on making an appeal to the nation at large on behalf of their unemployed towns men, but the meeting are respectfully of opinion that it is much better that any assistance should be extended to them in the way they now ask, in respect the commu nity will be permanently relieved of the burden of sup porting them, whereas, otherwise, any sum necessary for this purpose during the ensuing winter would far ex ceed what is requisite for clothing them for the voyage to Port Philip or Sydney. Fifth—That at the lowest computation it will take 41. per head to clothe the intending emigrants, and counting them at 250 as the complement of one ship, the sum of 1,000/. will therefore be required for the clothing and outfit. . Sixth—That Mr. Hastie, M.P. for Paisley,Mr. Patrick Maxwell Stewart, M.P. for the county, and the Hon. Viscount Kelburne, M.P. for Ayrshire, be respectfully requested to use their influence in support of the views of the meeting, and that the following Committee be ap pointed to correspond with them, and to prepare addresses to her Majesty, and to Lord Melbourne, and the other members of her Majesty's Government, viz.— WILLIAM MORRISON, Chairman.

WILLIAM MORRISON, Chairman. EXAGGERATION OF ANCIENT STATUES. - - In specimens of statues left us by the ancients, we see something that always fascinates us, at the same time that we find everything exaggerated in them. The rea son is thus happily explained by Mr. Abernethy:— " The ancients did exaggerate in their statues ; but then, there was so much grace in their exaggeration that you did not see it, but you were fascinated ; their foreheads, for instance. Look at them, and you see them coming forward, they overhang the rest of the face. You see they do not shelve away, they are broad and expanded. Animals, the brutes, have scarcely any foreheads ; the monkey's forehead recedes, and the dog's head falls back completely. The ancients, therefore, with rea son, gave a full projecting forehead to their statues, to dignify them—to mark, as it were, the strik ing difference there was between man and other ani mals. Now the eyebrow is quite peculiar to man—no other animal has it : the ancients laboured that part of the human countenance with extraordinary care; for it is particularly adapted to convey expression. The eyes, too, they managed in the same way. Some of the inferior animals have their eyes so brought forward on the surface of their face, that they can see sideways, they can see around them, and even behind them ; which is a sign of a suspicious, apprehensive, anxious, disposition. The ancients gave to the faces of their statutes eyes that looked straightly and directly upon you—that look sternly forwarp ; and they did this in order to convey to the beholder, that the originals felt the very reverse of timidity, of apprehension, and suspicion. Then the nose. Man has a peculiar one : it has a bridge in it ; all other animals want the nose as it is in man. Those animals, instead of a nose, have a snout—it is a snout, not a nose. Now the ancients, in their heads, attended greatly th the nose ; they placed the bridge of it very high in the face; they placed it above the centre of the orbit of the eyes. The Greeks brought the nose straight down—the Ro mans gave it a bend upwards ; they arched it, thinking that to be the handsomest form. The nostrils they made as little like a snout as possible. In the statues of the ancients you see the mouth made in a peculiar way; it is, so to speak, as little like a devourine• aperture as pos sible; they knew it was made for articulating, for express ing thoughts by language ; and they ma d e i t as expres sive as they could. The lips were made muscular and strong. Brutes, we find, have no chins ; that is a part of the face peculiar to men. The ancients were very par ticular about it, and formed it large and expressive. Now, if you could put all features on paper, you would have the countenance of Jupiter Olympus himself. The ancients, however, did not give the same face to all their statues ; it is quite true what Dr. Spurzheim said of them, that they knew much better than to place the head of a philosopher upon the shoulders of a gladiator." GELATINE. ---At least thirteen years ago, phi lanthropy and science united their efforts and invented the gelatine ; that is to say, a new kind of food made out of a pretended juice drawn from the meat-bones. I remember having denounced this-deceptive nutriment, and given it the name of button soup. For fifteen, years they have been feeding with this famous gelatine the sick in the hospitals, the poor in the charitable establishments, and the prisoners in gaols. They were going to intro duce the article to the soldiers,' barracks, when some sceptical person said Excuse me, but suppos?, we see first if t hi s ib e d be reall nourishing." Much displeasure was called forth by y this dol-bt; Science shr u g ge d h er s h ou ld ers, an d procee ded, from a weakness with which she reproached herself, to make new ex p er i ments on t h e subject. It re sults from a Report signed by Messieurs Chevreul, and Thonard, that the supposed nutritive Mae•endie, pro perties of gelatine have no existence :of two d ogs,the batter fed with gelatine, the QtUer with pure water,thAka to the lived longer Oulu the former I Thus, fall those wh united guts of philosophy and science 'lave been f el l 4 - 4 prisons, hospitals, and poor-h Cl:literally died of during fifteen years upon gelativie , many t— Alphonse P" hunger.
