Hereditary bondsmen, know ye not Who would be f ree , th emse l ves mus t s t r ik e th e bl ow ?' , Agitate, agitate, agitate!

There is a crisis at hand ; it is i n unetit, it is immediate. He who does not perceive its instant at•proach either has no faculties, or is culpably indifferent to the p( a^e, the lib er t y , an d t h e prosper i ty o f hi s nat i ve l an d . The contest will take place immediately; within so short a 'Pace that there is scarcely time to prepare for it ; everybody !oast he a and stirring—that is, everybody who entertains any love of fatherland—any regard for liberty, or any wish to pro. teet life and property from Orange domination. ~" As to the Repealera—my hi other Repealers, noble-hearted, ~_llglisminded Repealers—who los , : Ireland above all earthly uoject and pursuits—l tell them. that the approaching crisis should not have for thent any terrors. Shall we succeed in the approaching contest ? Why, then, human liberty will have gained an impulse from popular agitation and a generous move ment for all extension of human rights will be cheered and en couraged in its glorious career. shall we f a il i n t h e appre ac hi ng contest, an d s h a ll O range f ogyism, obtain the ascendancy ? Shall we see tine Magiste -141 Bench polluted aoain by every angry partisan,and crowded by the multitude of Tory c , arates and rectors? Shall we see eery Office filled, and every official person promoted in proper nto the rancorous zeal wherewith he has hated the rejigion sAd l b , ' petal le of lielauri? Shall we once more see the party ,Tiff arranging his pa rtisan Jury, not for trial, but for con vietioo—oh ! not alwa m ay for conviction, because the Orange P l underer or murderer may occasionally go through the solemn mockery of beiin arraigned before ?

" The total abolition of the Corn-laws would be most useful to the Irish artisans and operatives. To me, whose whole political life is devoted to discover means to enhance the wages acid increase the reward of labour to the artisans and opera tives of Ireland, the total abolition of the Corn-hits appears to to that which would be useful to attain my great object. It . ould open the markets of the world for the produce of the 4, ;h artisan.

Havat, Mar 12. The all-engrossing conversation in the horrid massacre corn- Init ted by the boat's cre w o f t h e W i lli am B rown of the sixteen door creatures they threw overboard. Th e C rescent, w hi c h tt bou n d for this port, with the mate and the passengers saved, 4 most anxiously looked for every hour. The plea of neces ' which the crew advance, must be made out most strongly • :to justify so dreadful an alternative. No lots were drawn ; but they under,too.d the mat e (*eve the orde r t o th e men to b eg i n work of destruction. 'The following frightful statement, made by the mate, has been forwarded to the American COD-. atd by the Captain of the Crescent, per the Ville de Lyon. ( Copy • ) At Sea of board the ship Crescent, April 28, 1641. Account of the loss of the ship William Brown, of Phila . delphia Captain G eorge L. H arr i s , w hi c h l eft Liverpool the lath of March, having seventeen of the ship's crew, and sixty 'five steerage passengers, freighted fur Philadelphia. " The passage was very rough, accompanied by squalls and loss of sails. On the night of the 19th of April, io lat. 43 30 N., and 49 39 W. long., making al sail in open sea, and running ten knots an hour, the larboard side of the vessel struck upon an iceberg, which stove her in. At ten Minutes past nine at night we struck upon another. I thee proposed to the Captain to take in sail as quickly 'tw possible, which we did ; and sound ng the pump, found ' o feet of water in the hold. On going below I found that the vessel was rapidly making water. All hands set to work '* to direncage the boats, and at eleven o'clock they were along . vide. I descended into the longboat, with eight of the • crew and thirty-three of the passengers; the Captain, Lieu . tenant, a lady, and five sailors embarked in the jollyboat, and • we fastened the boats together. At midnight the vessel sunk, carrying with he r thi r t y - t h ree persons. We remained along e each o th er unt il f i ve o ' clock in the morning. Captain Barris then informed us of his intention of le3virg us, and ' ro aking the b es t o f hi s way to Newfoundland; and advised me to do the same. " ivly boat being full and heavy I coud not manage it s to purue that route was impossible : therefore di rected my course south. In the afternoon we fell in with it', large quantit y o f i ce. Throughout the night the wind .eva with violence f rom th e nort h i n squalls, with rain and Ilan, and a very heavy sea. Finding that the boat was liter ally surrounded by small and large masses of ice, that the water was gaining nptri her, I thought it improbable she could • hold out unless relieved of some of her weight. I then eon stilted tie sailors, and w e were all of opinion that it was ne , eessary t o t h row overboard those who were nearly dead, iant'l vie had room enough to work the boat and take to our • g ars- The weather becoming worse, it was almost imposible to keep the boat afloat and disengage it from the ice. At !tiybreak we were still surrounded by icebergs. On count ing the passengers sixteen were missing, and the rest w . ere in a desperate state and almost stiff from cold. At sot o'clock in the morning we perceived to the westward a sail steering an easterly course. We exerted every effort to ap proach it. Th e C apta i n being aloft in order to steer his ship h ough the ice, saw our hoar, and not w i t h standing the danger to hi % own ship made snit for us. On Thu,da v mornings at seven o'clock, we %i ere alongsPe of her, and before she had re- Ceired all on board, was struck by the ice, w hi ch stove in the ?oat We, hovievi r, succeeded i n rav i ng her. }.'tanks and averads of ice were in sight as far as th e eye could reach.

Barons Parke, Alderson, Gurney, and Rolfe sat, in 3anco in the Exchequer Chamber, and disposed of se eral cases standing in the special paper. DIUNTZ V. STURGE. Mr. Baron PARKE delivered the judgment of the Court this case, which was argued during last term as a spe cial case. Our readers will recollect that the plaintiff was the Mayor of Birmingham at the late election for that town, at which the defendant was proposed as a candidate. Two days before the day of nomination he gavo the plaintiff notice that ho would not go to the poll unless the show of hands were in his fa vour. The plaintiff erected a hustings, and made pre parations for a contest, but the show of hands being against the defendant he declined a poll, and, not thinking himself liable, he refused to pay one-third of the ex penses charged against him by the returning-officer. The judgment of the Court was in favour of the defendant. The Paella of Yzzia has defeated, at the head of 1,200 Albanians, the insurgents of Bulgaria. The road is open from Constantinople to Belgrade. CORN-LAWS, &c—The petition against the Corn-laws, got up in Pradfurd within the last fortnight, has been sent for pre3entatiol--17,569 signaturos were attached to it. No exertions were spared in getting signatures, and great numbers of men were stationed in various parts of the town for the purpose. On Tuesday, a iietiiion, praying Parliament to repeal the duties on sugar, tea, and corn, was signed by an immense number of persons (they had not beers counted when our news letter left), and will have been presented by this time. —York Courant. _ _ USEFUL HINT.—A graduate, who had taken high honours at the University, was selected, on account of his known attainments and learning, as Incumbent of a new church in a populous parish.

GREAT ANTI-CORN-LAW MEET- ING AT KENDAL, On Monday evening last, the 10th instant, in conse quence of a requisition presented to the Mayor, a meet inr.r of the inhabitants of Kendal was held in the Town Hall, for the purpose of considering the proposed alters, tions in the import duties now under the consideration of Parliament. JAMES MACHELL, Esq., the Mayor, was in the chair. The CHAIRMAN opened the business of the meeting by reading the requisition, and expressing a hope that the meeting would listen with p a ti ence an d attention to the speeches of the several gentlemen who would address them on the subject. Mr. ISAAC li r msoN, of Kent-terrace, rose to move the first resolution. It gave him great pleasure to see so numerous an assemblage on that occasion, as it showed him that they took the same interest on the sukect now before Parliament that he himself dic l . If ever there was a time when it was necessary for the inhabitants of the town of Kendal to show what were their wishes upon the Corn-laws, that was the time. They had all seen that the trade of the town was declining—more especially the trade which they had with foreign countries. He was well aware what was the cause of it : it was because foreign countries could not send back their corn in return for the. manufactured articles of this country. If we would take their corn they would take our manufactures ; and both the master manufacturers and the operatives would re ceive great advantage from free trade both in corn and in the manufactures of this and other countries. On these grounds he would move "That the meeting regarded the exertions of all monopolies that fetter and crush industry, and which have already told with such alarming effects upon the trade of the kingdom as part of a system which, if continued, must sooner or later bring ruin upon the nation at large ; that the interests of all classes, especially of the agricultural and manufacturing labourers, impera tively demanded their abolition, and required the esta blishment of such a system of free trade as would opt n to the wants and products of this country the supplies and markets of the world." Mr. Stmrsox seconded the resolution. which, on being put by the Chairman, was carried unanimously. Mr. E. GIBSON moved the second resolution, " .That the high price of sugar, the protection so long exclu sively enjoyed by the West Indian planters, and the danger of entirely closing our trade with the Brazils, as well as the financial state of the country, called for an immediate alteration of the sugar duties to the full ex tent proposed by the Government, and the meeting con templated with indignation the possible rejection of so wise and necessary a proposition. Mr. JOHN WHITWELL seconded the resolution. He did so because he conceived that the measure which had recently been proposed in Parliament was wise, judicious, and, above all, necessary. They were all aware that the price of sugar was now such as to exclude many per sons from consuming the usual quantity. Why was it so ? It was not because there were not consumers enough, nor yet because there were not in the world at large parties who would not buy the produce ; but because the markets were closed to them by the Legislation which had hiterto guided the Government of the country. The new sys tem, he conceived, must necessarily meet with the ap probation of all wise and sound thinking men. Govern ment had now come to that point when the finances of the country were not sufficient to defray its expenditure. Whether the affairs of the nation had been conducted in the most prudent man ner or not he was not prepared to say ; but, at all events, the expenditure exceeded the income ; and the question was, whether the people should be called on to pay additional taxes, or whether such a plan should be introduced as would not only prevent the thing from bearing hard upon the community, but would benefit and bless them in every point of view. That was the great scheme which the Government had proposed for adoption. If they would look at the state of trade at the present time, they would see gloom, melancholy, and wretchedness everywhere pervading it. The Gazette was filled with bankrupts—and despondency had yielded to despair. Gloom was spread over every counten.nce —everyone spoke of distress, and no one knew where it would end. Why was it so ? It was because the manufacturers of this country met with opposition from abroad. Foreign nations were introducing British manufactures into their looms. Indeed, by' its policy, this country had compelled them to do so. Had we con tinued to take their corn, foreign nations would never have resorted to any other mode of labour than that of raising corn. The consumer of any produce was the person who paid the maker of it. Those who employed the working classes indeed paid them ; but they were not the ori ginal paymasters. The consumers were, and the law as it now existed was one of the chief causes that operated in preventing the manufacturer from carrying his labour to the best market. He would give them another reason why trade abroad was more plentiful than in this country, it was because they could produce things at a much lower price. He had got two loaves made as the best il lustration of the subject. " This (said he) is the six penny loaf which is now selling in the shops, and this is loaf which Lord John Russell proposes. I think there is some disparity between the two ; and I do not think that this (handling the larger) is such a despicable affair." —(Cheers.) That perhaps might be a homely illustra tion, but he thought it preferable to give them ocular de monstration of the fact. There must be, he contended, a change of system if this country was to be benefited— a system of fair play and no favour. The principles of free trade were those which, in - the end, would benefit the country ; they were necessary to the existence of the people, and the continuance of the prosperity of the country. For these, and many other reasons which might be specified, he begged leave to second. the resolueon.— Carried unanimously. The Rev. EDWARD HAWKES rose to move the next resolution, and was received with loud cheers. After making some remarks on a passage in the Earl of Win chelsea's speech in the House of Lords on Monday, the 3d inst., he proceeded to remark, that the food o poor ought never to be taxed at all, because a tax upon the means by which people lived was a direct cause of death. That had been practically found to be the case, the deaths among the poor in dear years being generally much greater. Governments ought to permit food to come as rain does, and to be imported from all parts of the world. But, why, it might be said, come forward now, when Government were proposing to im pose a tax on bread. The reason was because the tax now proposed was a great diminution • of the evil. Were a repeal not to take place, and no relief given to manufacturing industry, there was reason to expect that. such a state of things would ultimately be produced between the rich and the poor as would even tually end in the destruction of the one or the other. He therefore begged to move " That, in the opinion of the meeting, the indispensable means of supporting hu man life ought not, under a wise system of legislation, to be subjected to a taxation of any description ; yet be lieving that the alteration of the duties upon grain pro posed by Lord John Russell would be a vast benefit to the country, it viewed with cordial satisfaction such a change, and would meet with determined opposition all attempts to frustrate the approach to a more equitable system." Mr. THOMAS WILSON seconded the resolution, and took the opportunity of informing the meeting that the Kendal Anti-Corn-law Association had it in contempla tion to extend their boundaries, and invite their country friends to unite with them in endeavouring to obtain a repeal. They were not afraid of throwing themselves or the cause they supported on their agricultural friends throughout the country, and inviting them to join and form Associations. The agriculturists would not be in jured in any way, but rather benefited by a repeal of these laws, and he had no doubt they would heartily respond to the call.—(Great cheers.) The Reverend GILBERT ELLIOTT, of Kirby Thore, also spoke in support of the resolution. The statement which Mr. Thompson, the Secretary, had just made in ducsd him to say a few words on the subject. He had said it was the design of the Anti-Corn-law Association of Kendal to endeavour to extend the field of its opera tions into the surrounding agricultural districts. He (Mr. E.) had come to Kendal for the express purpose of request ing that such a step should be taken.. Every farthing which he had arose from tithes or froni land, and if any change whatever should take place in the produce of the land he would individually suffer. But he was so much persuaded that there was no fear of any change for the worse, that he had himself from the first entered into the views of the Corn-law repealers ; and he was sure that they had only to make the agricultural population ac quainted with the true state of the case to convert them into as good Corn-law repealers as themselves.—(Cheers.) The Duke of Wellington had said in the House of Lords that Earl Fitzwilliam did wrong in saying that the Corn laws had been enacted simply for the protection of the land owners, that they did not care at all for pelf, and their only object was protection. But whoever heard of pro tection as something ultimate ? Protection was a means and not an end ; and the protection wanted was a pro tection of pockets.—(Great cheers.) The motion was then put by the CILAIR3IAN, and car ried unanimously. The Rev. DAVID JONES moved " That the alarming increase of disease in the land was attributable to the high price of provisions and to the stagnation of trade, and that the principles of religion, humanity, and justice required that there should be a free supply of the neces saries rather than the luxuries of life." __ _ The resolution was seconded by the Rev. J. GurHaw, and on being put by the Chairman, was carried unani mously. On the motion of Mr. Alderman R. WILSON, seconded by Mr. JOHN JOWITT WILSON, a petition founded on the above resolution was agreed to, and having been signed by the Chairman on behalf of the meeting, was dispatched to the member for the borough, George William Wood, Esq., for presentation to the House of Commons. A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up. DEVONPORT, MAY 12.—One of the most numerous meet ings ever held here was assembled in the Town-hall, to peti tion Parliament in favour of Lord John Russell's motion on the Corn- aws, the Mayor in the Chair. George Leach, Esq., an extensive landowner, and a popular candidate on the Libe ral interest f, tr representing this borough at the last election, moved the first resolution, which was seconded by John Rees, Esq., an active supporter of the Conservative cause. In fact, there are persons of all shades of rolitics at the rm et' ng, and the most unanimous feeling prevailed. The general feeling appear; fair a total repeal, and there is no doubt that the peti tions will be numerously signed. MA xcitEsrra, MAY 13. The Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures have agreed to a strong petition in favour of Lord John Russell's measures for the relief of trade and manu factures. One of the paragraphs of the petition runs thus : " Without such measures the most grave and appalling evils Will ensue—at this moment a very large proportion of people engaged in the manufacture of cotton V are deprived of one-third ,of their customary employment. NORWICH, MAY 13.—The Corporation of this borough met on Tuesday, and voted a loyal and spirited address to her Ma jesty, claiming her " protection against the arts and intrigues of a desperate faction, and expressing unbounded confidence in her thinness wisdom, and courage in the present fearful crikis." The Corporation also agreed to a petition to the House of Commons, in favour of the proposition submitted by her Majesty's Ministers for equalizing the duties on timber and • sugar, and modifying the Corn-laws. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE DAILY rArtßs OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Lord Stanley has, at all events, a better title than the Noble Mover of the question before the House, to assume Anti-Slavery championship. We suppose it was on the principle of Fiat experi mentum in cor porevili, that the Noble Lord, the Member for Liverpool, was put in the front of the battle. Mr. Gladstone too, who was last night reminded by Lord Howick and Mr. V. Smith of the wisdom contained in the old proverb, that " those who live in glass houses should not be the first to throw stones," was certainly the most curious champion that could well be selected, considering all his past and pre sent connections, of West and East Indian freedom. But Lord Stanley has an undoubted right to " star" it in that part—the more so, as he took so brilliant a benefit, in the same performance, some years back. The eclat of the piece indeed was rather highly paid for ; and the appearance of the same performer, on the same boards, is somewhat ominous of similar results affecting John Bull's pocket. M. Thiers was called the Napoleon of expense during his short Ministry ; a title equally applicable to Lord Stanley's Irish and Colonial Secretaryships. The phrase " extinction of tithe" cost this country the million loan to the Irish clergy ; and the liberal indifference between the phrases of loan and gift cost them twenty millions more to the West India planters. It is now the question how much more Lord Stan ley's phrases should, in conscience, cost us ? We concede considerable ability to the Noble Lord's speech last night • we must also concede that it showed more command of ! reasoning, and temper than usual. But the practical question recurs, How much must the public pay for able speeches ? And how much for " porter" and " champagne" to the " imitative" negro non-labourers ? Sooner or later, evidently this state of things must come to a termination. If the negroes slumber on the natural bounties of the soil, and cease to labour for others, their probable fate will be that of Hayti—a simi:civilisation of their own—which will soon lose its temporary luxu ries of imitation, and all its other. advantages of contact with European existence. If they continue to labour just as little as they please, that cannot go on much longer— for every other people, including the " free and enlighten ed" American citizens, have to labour in good earnest for all their enjoyments, " imitative" or otberwise. We confess we have been rather astonished that the publi cation, and complacent citation of the new indulgeuces of the free blacks (far above our own middle classes), has not suggested rather more reflection to the authors of such statements. It is the excess of British labour that pays for all this tropical ease. TSTANDARD.-- - -One of the earliest economists on re cord is Judas Iscariot, he professed great interest for the poor ; the parenthesis of the Evangelist tells why " because he was a thief 'and carried the bag." And exactly as sincere as his professions are the professions of those who propose to re vive the slave trade for the benefit of the poor. A good deal of sneering has been indulged in at the ex pense of those who opposed the abolition law, and yet now resist the attempt to revive the slave trade. For ourselves, we are unconcerned in these sneers—our course has been uniform and consistent ; we have always opposed slavery in every shape. But are not the Ministers and their adherents now acting the apology of all who op posed the abolition law ? Are they not proving, first, that some, at least, of the abolitionists never cared for liberty ; that for money they are willing to promote a far worse slavery than ever existed in the British colonies ; and that as to the British negroes, so far were these abo litionists from really caring for them, that, having for one consideration relinquiShed the profit of their labour as slaves, they are now ready to sell them to famine and barbarism for an other ? There is no temptation to say anything of the qualities and merit of Lord Stanley's speech. Every one will read it, and whatever we might venture to say in its praise would probably fall short of the reader's judg ment. One point may, however, be remarked upon — the Noble Lord's complete success in proving that he has not departed from the principles of Mr. Hus kisson. It is only necessary to recur to Mr. Huskisson's speeches on the Corn-laws in 1814, 1815, and to his speeches on the sugar duties in 1820, to see that his theory was founded upon the principle of vigilant and effectual protection, how much soever he may unfortu nately have departed from this theory in pr ac ti c e. COURIER—The lagging wearisome debate was last evening wound up, r einvigorated, and embellishedwith a master speech of a master spirit, that of Lord Stanley. Rich in the graces of style and eloque nce o f th e hi g h es t order as it is, it may be truly said to be still more surpass ingly superior for the logical itecuyacy, the perspicuous ar i angement, the severe andirresistible truth of its facts and argument. It would be vain to attempt its analy sis, or to hope to convey by any mere outline a faint impression only of its extraordinary ability and tre mendous power. In the House where delivered the ex citement and conviction producel went hand in hand, nor can its influence be less over the country at large. Leaving the argument on the main questions of sugar duties and free trade, we would point attention to those passages of the speech, in which he works out with ini mitable point and caustic effect the description of a Mi nistry which reigns but does not govern—which is tricked out in the trappings and regalia, and endowed with the honorarios of office, whilst the real effective power is lodged elsewhere, alternately wielded by O'Con nell in the name of the Government, or directed by the great Constitutional party in the State against them. compel us once again to take arms, we tura to you, telhow-c , untrymen, to say, that in undertaking the greLt work of freedom with arms in hand, it is neces sary in order to obtain an object, that we be bound to :railer by the holy bond of unanimity ; that we under take tha contest for our religion and country, with ea gerress and sincerity ; that we show the greatest sub mission and obedience to the superior military and poli tical chiefs and to their just commands, that we re3pect the honour,,,Jhe life, and the property, not only of our br( Vler Christ!ans, but also of our ftllow-citizens, the Turks, so long as these latter, comprehending their own true interests, shall not oppose our undert sking, which has in view, not only our good, but their advantage Ilse, when properly considered. By the step we now take, we have no other object but that we should all live as brothers, under laws which shall secure the honour, the life, an" the property of all the inhabitants of Crete without exception. Be assured, frllow.countrymcn, that in following such a line of conduct, our enterprise will be crowned with thl most brilliant success, through the intern - ie. diation of the three Allied Powers—England, France, and Russia. The true cause and the real object of our under taking, the truth of which we solemnly avow, - ue hope we shall not find our fellow-countrymen, the Turks, opposed to us, if they reason rightly, nor any other person whomsoever, for what we desire is most just and lawful. _ _ But if against all expectation we find the contrary, we declare from this moment, that rather thau fall For the fourth time under the Turkish yoke, where the honour of our children was unrestrainedly outraged. thousands of us slaughtered like cattle, where our pro-. perty and our labour served only to supply the food of laziness, turpitude, and iniquity, we prefer to meet our destruction to the last man, choosing rather to die a glorious death in our country's cause, than 'to live a life of dishonour and reproach. Yes, fdlow.. countrymen, a a glorious death is by honourab:e souls a thousand times preferable to a life of servitud'e and disgrace—servitude is for the brute, but man is made for freedom, and for freedom be should be prepared to suffer anything, even to death itself. Cretans! we are Greeks, and it is our proper wad he reditary virtue, to fight, to conquer, and to die, if neces tary, for freedom, and good government. Cretans! It was our country that first promulgated. just laws, which being spread abroad, carried- civilise. tion and prosperity to the rest of the world. Is it then just that she, the mott.er of laws, should be now the habitation of lawlessness and despotism ? , • " Fight for thy faith and country" is a religious nu' political maxim, and death in such a cause, renders men enviable here, and blessed in eternity. But in going to join these brave warriors who have fallen for their countrymen, the Protapapadukies, the Delijanakies, the Kourdies, the Kourmoulies, the Tzelibies, the Bou somarcces, Zepannes S:phacas, Catzo Micale, the Ca and so many other brave and glorious heroes of Crete, we will net leave unatoned their blood and dearly wili we sell our own to those who may thirst after it. Fellow-countrymen ! Our enterprise is the coungl of the Lord, and neither Divine, nor human assistance will be wanting to us. God be with us, none against us. In Crete, Feb. 17, 1841. (Signatures.) . PORTUGUESE BONDS. We have been requested to publish the forbiwirig letter, addressed to a Morning Contemporary. it is a melancholy tale, yet what) thousands have . been ruinjd in a similar manner, there are yet parties wicked enough to concoct new loans for the bankrupt Governments of the Peninsula : " Sta,—Being in great pecuniary difficulties, and in doubt how to proceed with regard to my little Portu guese stock, may I ask the favour of your opinion on the subject. You have great experience thereon, and have kindly granted to the public the benefit of the $41116. A few years ago I held the rank of lieutenant=colphel in her Majesty's service, but as age was fast creeping on me, and having a family (a son and two daughters) to provide for, I resolved on disposing of my commission. I did sn, and the proceeds, added to my own private property, produced me a capital of 9,5000/. In one fatal hour, and under the advice of my (riendi, I in vested the whole in Portuguese Fire per Cents., at 99i. When the Government first, to my surprise and great distress, ceased to ply the dividends, I declined seling out any of my stock at the reduced prices (between 40 and 50) to meet my pecuniary engagements, but raised money on my bilis at 5 per cent., pledging my stock ns security. My bill.; were so frequently renervtd that I found myself compelled, in 1839, t. , ) dispose of 4,0001. Stock, at 32 per cent., to pay them and meet my cur rent expenses, as well as an unfortunate liability for which I had made myself responsible. A few months afterwards my son was Gazetted to a commission (by purchase), in the army. Although the Por tuguese Stock was at 28, I was obliged to sell. out 2,5001., which procured me only 700/. Finding the Stack still decreasing in value, and distressed beyond description for the fit!e of my daughters, we re solved on establishing a boarding-schooloind this I.yd me. by October, 1840, to sell out 2,000/ more of my stock. Sir, we commenced our undertaking with npparent prosperity, whilst my dear but ill-fated daughters dis• played the calmest resignation to the will of Provi dence. In three short months my eldest daughter was no more, she caught a cold and died of a brain fever. My turn came next, a rheumatic fever made me (now 68 years of age) bedridden and wholly helpleis for five months afterwards. " The charge of the school now falling, on my orly daughter, scarcely 20 years of age, her delicate frame and sensitive mind, under our heavy afflictions yielded (but not until after the most severe struggles) to the labours and a:.xicties which oppresFed ber. Sir, my poor, dear, dear daughter is now out of her mind. She is---- but, Sir, I have not the nerve to continue further on these disclosures. _ " You are now in possession of the wretchedness and helplessness of our position. The favour I have to ask of you is this. I have still 1,5001. of the Five per Cents. remaining, which, if realised at the present price, would produce 5101. There is a mortgage of 4001. on them, so that 110/. only would be coming to me. " Would you recommend me to continue paying 7 per cent on the mortgage a short time longer unthr the hope that Lord Palmerston's protection will lead to the stock improving in value, or at once to make a sacri fice and save what I can lest the stock might go down to 281. per cent. again. If I can but amass about 2001. lam not without hopes of securing my dearest diughter and self some future provision. My prayers will ever attend you, Sir, if you will kindly advise me bow to act, for my money is gone; and my friends have gone with it. "A DISTRESSED AND BROKEN-HEARTED OLD SOLDIER. " Camden-town, May 6, 1841." DOVER, THURSDAY EVENING.—The Duch • ess of Cambridge landed here this evening, from Calais, in the Widgeon, Commander Hamilton. The Duke was on the quay to receive her, and a guard of honour, under the com mand of Colonel Monro, and a great concourse of people to greet her. A salute was fired from the heights on the occasion. WHITBY.—STOPPAGE OF MESSRS. CAM rzoN's BANK, AT WHITBr.—An extraordinary sensation and panic was felt in this town on Monday last, by the closing of the banking establishment of Messrs. Campion, in Churc.s. street. The parties in this old establishedand well-known firm are not only bankers, but ship-builders, ship -owners, mannfae turers, and very largely connected with the trade of the port. The particulars will bs best learned from .the follow ing extract from the letter of a correspondent :—" My object. in writing to you now, is to inform you that Messrs. Campion's bank closed on Monday, nay, in fact. it was never opened for business. This has caused one of the greatest stagnations that could befal Whitby. Farmers ar , flocking in from all sides with notes, and stand round the bai, looking as if they knew not what to think. '1 here are main rumours as to the cause, but nothing is yet known for a cer tainty. Their bills were sold yesterday for 50s. each—that is poor exchange, but many may think the first loss is the bo.q. The ship-yards, smiths' shops, block and mast yards, and the kelp works, are all closed, thereby throwing above hundred hands out of employment. This is a serious occurrence for Whitby and its neighbourhood, and I am afraid it is the fere runner of a serious evil to the neighbourhood.—York Courant. TEXAS.—W'e see by an article from' a late number of the New Orleans Bee, that information has been received from San Antonio de Bexar, a frontier town of Texas, that the Mexicans, 8,000 strong, under General Arista, were making pr. partitions for a campaign, ostensibly against the Indians, but which was intended for the invasion and subjuga tion of Texas. Similar rumours have been put in circulation by persons opposed to the interests of the yqung Republic, ever since the decisive battle of San Jacinto, and have by their representations 110 doubt deterred many favourably disposed to Texas from emigrating thither, or embarking in its couse. To those in the least conversant with the history of the tsio 1 countries, the absurdity of entertaining for a moment, the idea that Mexico will ever be able again to subjugate Texas, is evi dent. And not the less improbable is the idea,'tha.: Mexico is striving to raise a force for this purpose, when it is well known that all her energies and resources are at this time reetiiied at home, to quell internal disturbances, and resist the, insurrec tions continually waging throu:shout her provinces. The fact is, that Texas was never in a more prospet - dus condition than at present, and to those disposed to embark in her interests, the most favourable inducements are presented. HER MAJESTY ' S THEATRE.—MadameLoewe made her first appearance, on the occasion of Tamburini's be; - nefit last night, as Alaic'a, in Bellint's opera of La, Straniera, one of the poorest compositions in existence, but so far'suit- able to a debutante, that the interest rest entirely on the hero ine, and that there is much room for histronic display, the drama being infinitely better than the music. Madame Loewe's ' first song was given behind the scenes, and the ear of the audience was at once charmed by the truth of her intonation, and the perfectness and precision of her executien. On her entrance at the conclusion of this song she .Was greeted with loud applause. In her duet with Mario .0e exhibited her her best qualities, though not her full power, ,wl.ich 'was' only called forth on rare occasions. Her voice is of a fine quality, though not remarkably full, and when she exerts no unusual force, is entirely under:her contrcl, and susceptible of the nicest light and shade, while she evinces .a depth of feeling and a beautiful correctness and neatness of execution generally. As an actress she is entitled to a Very high rank, and those bursts of passion which seemed to us less advantage ous to the singer were often magnificent exhibitions of his trionic genius. Her countenance, though not striking at first, is capable of the greatest variety of expression ; her eye is with intelligence, an d s h e i s a bl e t o pene trating . , and beaming express a restless anxiety by glances which ace singularly rapid and vivid, and sometimes to assume a fixed look, which is almost supernatural. Perhaps, so complete an absOrption of the actress'into the character is seldom seen as Madagie Loewe displayed at the close of the epera.

Cretans, or Candiots, without comment. Peoclt mation of the Cretan Exiles on returning to Crete.—(Translatiou.) . . Cretan Fellow-Countrymen !—Ten whole years have a'ready passed since the time when breathing the air of freedom, and masters of all our native land, except a fee for tresses, with joy and gladness we saw that at last our a lent endurance and our inappreciable, and inde scribable sacrifices were rewarded by our emancipation. That joy and satisfaction caused us then to forget the great and unheard of woes we suffered during the period of the long and bloody war, we no longer called' to mind the atrocious murdering of our bishops and priests at the commencement of the Revolution, nor the slaughter of our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, re lations, and friends ; nor the enslavement and dishonour of our wives and children, nor indeed the other mise r:es, which, with unexampled fortitude, we endured in the mountains and caves, though sinking daily under the weight of our woes. That sole sensation of joy possessed cur souls, when suddenly, and against the ex pectation of ourselves, and all who had known our suf ferings, the feeling of delight was changed to unutter able affliction and despair. The voice of nations who, like ourselves, serve the Prince of Justice and Freedom, Jesus Christ, of nations who sacrifice all for thtir independence and their rights and who arc ready to incur any danger rather than see these attacked, the voice of these nations commanded us again to bow the neck to the yoke of shameful sla very after our own hands alone had broken it asunder. This voice was so mghty that we were of necessity obliged to obey, but in yielding to force, we never re nounced our recovered rights; these rights are and remain inalienable, as long as one alone of us remain alive and or e drop of blood circulate in our veins ; and for this reason we pretested in the clearest manner against the measure in the well-known acts of the Certan Council dated 23d November 1830.; Thetiee begins an epoch of new woes for our unfor tunate countrymen in the intervsl of these ten years, we have seen and sufNed much both from Christians and Turks. We have seen nearly introduced into Crete the system of monopoly which has rendered the Egyp tians the most wretched people of the earth ; we have seen fifty-twl of our most distinguished and worthiest fellow-countrymen executed by hanging at one time, when in the most peaceable and lawful manner we met together to ask a remedy for these evils ; we have seen forcible conscriptions in Crete, and nearly ell the conscripts were sacrificed in the war, to gratify the insatiable avarice and ambition of the Satrap of E,ty?t. But why attempt to tell what is indescribable ! The poverty and nakedness which during this period has been spre id over our country, naturally so rich—do they not proclaim, more clearly than any other voice, the lawlessness, violence, and inhumanity of the Turkish Government? All these things, however, we patiently suffered in the constant hope thet the mighty of the earth would at length feel sensible of the great injus tice which they had commit t, d against a Christian and long-seffering people.. But alas ! the voice, it seems, of the injured, either has not force to reach their ears, or it is not strong enough to touch their hearts. As it we were African slaves, they take us from the one and sell us to the other despotic master, vtithout being moved by our sufferings, without regarding ou rights, and without even giving us the smallest notice. Finding ourselves then in this condition, most unjustly used, most contemptuously treated, thrown aside as if of no value, and menaced moreover with the pro spects of seeing again renewed in our country, the tragic scenes previous to 1821, through which Crete was made to resemble a butchery, where the Chris tians were daily slain without pity by the Turks, reflec ting further on the moral and physical condition of ourselves and our children, as every rational man has a right ; we new take for the fourth time our arms in our hands, with the view not of revenging the insults and tyranny, and murders, before the revolution, not of seeking to expiate the innocent blood of our Clergy. and of so many other honourable men of Crete which in the beginning and continuance of the In surrection, was shed in streams by lawless and brutal hands, without resistance and without cause ; not to seek plunder by seizing the property of another, of whatever race or religion he may be, not to attack the find recision of the Five Great Powers (for the ques tion is of Rights which were now before those decisions were come to, and which were indirectly recognised by the Powers themselves, when they made us over, not to the Government of the Sultan against which we fought, but to that of the Satrap of Egypt). No ! for none of the above objects do we now take up arms, but we take them, and with them in re in zouart Powershandsto of Europe;uni tecryourand ior justice, for humanity , and for p ol itical exiistence ; full of confidence that the particularly the three Powers , the who three rendered justice Great ticeto our Greek brothers a nd fellow com batants , and who raised Greece into a Kingdom, Franee, - and Russia, will at least acknowlege our indisputable rights, and will intervene where it be hoves, so that we may be relieved from our present hu miliating position, ind that our freedom and self-go vernment may be granted to us. Having now Stated the strong and just reasons which • IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, May 13. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY took his seat on the Wool sack at Five o'Clock.

The Noble Earl presented a great number of petitions to the same effect from the female operatives of the West Riding of York, and from various other parts of the kingdom. In a petition from Halifax, it was stated to be the opinion of the petition ers that it was very unjust to pass a law to keep up the rent of land, whilst the Legislature acknowledged its in ability to make any laWs for keeping up the price of labour.—(Hear, The Earl of WARWICK said he seldom looked into the petitions presented by the other side of the House. But on looking into - some of the petitions professedly coming from female operatives, he found in one of them, Said to be the petition of the females of East Arrowby, the names only of rive ladies without crosses —(Cheers mid laughter)—and these were all written by the same hand.—(Laughter.) The Earl of FITZWILLIAM had yet to learn that persons who were not in • the situation of the Noble Earl—who had not the advantage of education —who were obliged to trust to others to write their names—(Loud cheers)—were to be deprived of the right of expressing their opinions. —(Cheers.) It may be very well (said the Noble Earl) for your Lordships who stand in a superior station of life to scrutinise the yetitions of less fortunate people. It may be very well for you to look upon them with a scornful and con 'temptuous eye—(Cheers, and cries of " Oh, oh") — .but, my Lords, I must tell you, with all the respect which I feel for your Lordships, as a member of this House, that there is little political wisdom in die observations of the Noble Earl, and, if possible, less in the temper in which you received them.—(Cheers, and laughter.) My Lords, I say there is little political wisdom in such Criticism as has so much amused you.—(Cheers.) Those people, my Lords, have grievous evils to complain of.—(Cheers.) Many of them they lay at your Lordships door, and I do not know but the ignorance you scoff at is the most grievous.— (Much cheering.) My Lords, you are responsible for their incapacity. My Lords, you have the means of pro ' viding for their better instruction, and you have made no provision, and you will make no provision.—(Cheers, and cries of" Oh!") My Lords, you ought to pity those people— you ought to rescue them from such observations as have &lien from the Noble Earl opposite.—(Cries of " Oh, oh !" and laughter.) My Lords, I regret to be compelled to Make these observations upon the language of the Noble Earl. Lord HARDWICK—IIe said nothing like it.— (Loud cheers, and cries of " No, no.") • Earl FITZWILLIAM—You mean to say, my Lords, not that I have misrepresented the observations of the Noble Earl, but that I have put his intentions wrongly. —(Cheers.) Oh, my Lords, I know very well that you do not like my observations. I know, my Lords, you have no relish for petitions of this kind.—(Cheers.) I know you don't like them.—(Renewed cheerin7.) The ignorance of those people is not their crime. I say, my Lords, it is your's.--(Cheers.), The Earl of WARWICK—My Lords, in answer to the allusion which the Noble Earl has thought proper to make to inn in his. very dictatorial lecture, I can only say that I could - Inot know anything of the people who signed their petitions without looking •at their names.—(Hear.) T find n great . number of names with crosses opposite to them. But whole strings of them are written in one hand. When people cannot write their names I can believe what they say in writing through the means of other people, but I expect to see a ,witness to the cross.- 7 (Hear, hear.) But these crosses have no witnesses, and I think the petitions very dubious and very doubtful. Lord HARDWICK was desirous of congratulating the Noble Earl upon the opportunity which he had so happily devised of making a sort of a pompous and clap-trap speech—(Cheers)----which would go about the country and make the people believe that the Noble Earl was a friend of the poor.—(Cheers.) It was not at all irregular that a Noble Lord should look into petitions, and see from what classes of the people they came. The Noble Earl had, for some time past, been taking ,opportunities of making speeches, calculated to give people a notion that he was a very liberal man, and of placing his own case in a better position. After all the people ought to know that the ,Noble Earl's object was merely to substitute a fixed duty for a sliding scale. Earl CLARE presented a number of petitions from the crnty of Wicklow in favour of the Corn-laws. Lord STRADBROKE presented 20 petitions from Suffolk to the same effect. Earl MOUNTCASHEL presented a petition from Cork to the same effect. The petitioners stated that so far from the exportation of wheat from Ireland having decreased it had greatly increased. Earl RADNOR maintained that the statement made by him a few evenings ago was quite correct, for he had taken his data from official papers which were on the table of the House. The Duke of CLEVELAND presented a petition from the Corporation of Durham, and one from Barnard Castle, praying for a repeal of the Corn-laws. The Earl of WARWICK presented petitions from several Boards of Guardians, praying for some alterations in the Poor-laws. Also one from the Strand, praying that the three bridges twross the Thames might be thrown open. Lord PORTMAN presented a petition against the abolition of Church-rates, and one against the repeal of the Corn-laws. Earl RADNOR then rose to move for a return of the names of all persons who have ifxeived compensation for slaves from the fund provided for that purpose by Par liament, .together with a return of the names of all per sons whose claims upon that fund were still under consi deration. The information was before the House already, but in a form that was most inconvenient, and not easily understood. His object was to get them in such a form as to be of service in giving their Lordships all the information desired at a glance. After a few words from the Earls of HAREWOOD and MOUNTCASHEL, the returns were ordered. Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, May 13. The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour.

Colonel PERCEYAL presented a petition from several proprietors of steam boats against the Ipswich Docks Bill. Sir D. NORREYS. moved the further consideration of the Report of the Committee on the Ipswich Docks Bill. Mr. SHELL said, as the .Bill now stood, the inhabi tants of Ipswich, owning vessels, were to pay lower rates than others, which he thought was very objectionable. He moved, as an amendment, that the Bill be re committed. Mr. KELLY had no objection to that 7conrse being taken, as the, prornoters of the Bill were desirous to act fairly. • , The amendment was agre3d:to ; the Committee to sit on Wednesday next. On the motion of Lord MAHON the Northern and Eastern (Hertford an Ware Branch) Railway Bill was read a third time. Several clauses were added, and the Bill was passed. Sir C.

Mr. BAINES presented several petitions in favour of the plan of the Government for increasing the revenue by diminishing the public burdens ' • t hey were all from places in the neighbourhood of Leeds, and were all most numerously signed.

That it is then , opinion this,-willgreatly increase the trade, &c. of the country, and be of signal service to the labouring _ classes. .They therefore pray your Honourable House do carry this• measure into effect." • LORD CARDIGAN. Air. ALUNTZ•aaid that in bringing forward the mo tion of which had i .given notice, namely—" That an humhle . Address be presented to her Majesty, praying her Majesty to .institute an inquiry into the conduct of the Right Hon. the Earl of Cardigan, during his command of the Eleventh Hussars, with the view of ascertaining -how far such conduct has rendered him unfit to remain • in her Majesty's service, he wished to ,divide the House on the question before a dissolution toolsaplacea- 7 (Hear.). He begged to state, that in bringing forward the motion he disclatned all personal feelings towards the, Noble Lord who was the object of it ; in fact, ,he (Mr. Manta) never saw the Noble Lord. He would not have brought forward the subject at all, if Ire had notheen requested to do so, some weeks since, by a great -many parties. Why they selected him (Mr. Muntz) ; he knew not, unless it was that they were... aware .-ef his being unconnected with anti party, and independent of all men. He had hopel that some older member of that House would take the• matter in hand s but finding that such Was not, the case, and feeling .that it ought not to be put off any longer, he was obliged to take it up himself. Disputes in the Army were generall y of a private nature, but in the prescatinatanee they had become so numerous, and of such sachara,cter, as greatly to disgust a large por tion of society. The immediate cause of his (Mr. Muntz's) motion. was the flogging of a man on the Sabbath-day ; but he would not have considered even that a sufficient justification for his interference, were it not that that was but thelast of a: series of misconduct on the part of then Noble Earl, which made it impossible to believe that there was not. something more culpable than neglect on his part. He understOod that the Noble Earl had marched the men out to .the .Riding-School immediately after Divine Service. for the express purpose of having a place fixed for the punishment of the private, and that the punish ment had occurred very near the place of Divine Worship, while the men were put into ceder that they might witness the punishment. He had al ways considered flogging a disgusting exhibition- (Hear, hear)—and he. did think that we should imitate , in that instance the:example of the French, Prussians,. and. other nations, who had abolished it altogether: — (Hear,. hear.)a- There .was a general feeling among the public that the authorities at the Horse Guards were not free from censure in the manner in which they haddealt With the subject ; and that opinion was con firmed by finding that one of the Captain Reynolds s now on full-pay with leave of absence, and a pro mise that he would never again be called upon to serve» under the Earl of Cardigan. The truth was that the Noble Earl appeared to-want the most necessary quail fieati.-i for commanding men—the power of self-control. In she course of two years, while the regiment was 350 strong, the Noble Earl had 105. courts-martial, and had punished 750 men, and there were, not less than 90 mem at one time in Canterbury. gaol.—(Hear.) During thet 20 years the ,regiment was in India, and while , it . was 700,- strong, :the punishments had been less than during the two. years it had been under his command. During the Noble Earl's command, in one month there had been more courts-martial and more deflailters than in the preceding twelve months. ..Ira the s six following months, during which time the regiment, was not tinder the Noble Earl's command, there had been only.. two courts-martial. It appeared that. he had refused Captain Rey nelda leave of absence, which he had previously given, on the ground that the Court-martial atwhich Captain Hey nulds was . present had come to a decision contrary to his wish. Its was clear that the Noble Earl exercised he greatest tyranny over his officers and man, and as a. kat , fellow had said to him (Mr. Muntz), "What can I do ? might ride out and cut him down, but I would be shot for it!' If he (Mr. Aluntz) were placed in the situation of the. Noble Earl he should.court inquiry ; at all events it was clear that there was need of inquiry, and he had certainly' shown quite enough to establish ground for an inquiry.. The Hon. Member concluded by submitting his motion.. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD seconded the motion. Mr. MACAULAY' hoped to be able in a few words to state to the House sufficient grounds for dissenting from the motion Of the Honourable Member. His first objection was a very ob vious one. It was a national objection. He thought the Hon. Gentlennea himself would admit th a t w hil e there was no prerogative of the Crown, which that House was net_entitled to offerits advice upon, yet it was necessary that that advice ahould be guided by sound discretion. There were • some cases, and they were nothing but extreme.eases, in which the House ought to give that advice. In his opinion the rewards or punishments of military men ought not to be the subject of discussion in large.assemblies ; they should be left, to the Executive. He admitted, however, that there might be extreme eases in which such a course would be prudent and proper,_ but he must - confess that this was not that case. lie thought the course which the Hon. Gentleman wished the Crown to follow ought not to be pursued. In sayiag so, however, he :begged it to be understood that he was not offering any approval of the conduct of Lord Car Egan- Of that - Noble Earl he must say, however, that whatever other individuals might think of him, he (Mr. Macaulay) considered him one of the most unfortunate men of the present time. He considered that his conduct had been ex aggerated into far greater culpability than it was entitled to. Into that question, however, he would not at present enter.: But, taking the conduct of the Noble Lord to be ever so bad, he thought the present motion most objec tionable in any way of considering it, because he thought it was likely to establish a most dangerous precedent in the present judicious system. What was the state of gen tlemen in th e arm y ? y They bought their cummisA6ns, and they gave the best years of their life in the service of - their country. How, therefore, could it be expected that gentlemen would hold those commissions if security were not given to them. He thought that no officer shuutd be deprived of his commission, except in consequence of a court-martial ; there might be exceptions to that, but those exceptions could only take place when an officer had done an act cognizible by a court-martial, but w here; theie were objections to the adoption of such a course . The conduct o f th e E ar l o f Cardigan, in his opinion, did: not render him liable to a court-martial. If it was the , fact that L or d C ar di gan h a d g i ven the lie to several -of the - officers of the regiment, s uch conduct was subject to great reprehension, but it Was his (Mr. Macaulay's) firm belief, that if Lord Cardigan had been guilty of such practices, had been made to the Horse Guards. If the Hart. Gentleman was prepared to . say that suchHill' and corn plaint had been made touo complaint lie had paid no attention to it, Lordthat ender the case very different. With regard tapisy circumstance which had taken place oil t w o uldict E a st er i g t ou S t e t n r : he believed, however reprehensible such ould state that it person in that House it subjected him to w in c e c srle t , laL fi b ' but officers they ada: a coma _!!
