SEVERAL GENTLEMEN of Inverness 1 b . and its vicinity, have long entertained a wish that 'ridges should be erected over the River Ness, at the. western resnity of the town, in order to open up tbe ISLAND to ." Public, and to connect the Walks on t e opposite 'oh of the River. The ISLAND is upwards of four /keret in extent, and is unquestionably the most beautiful , t Pot in the environs of Inverness. It is now, however, nleccessible to the Public; and the individuals with whom the pivoted improvements originated conceive that to form an easy access to the Island, by means of Chain Ten ,ion Bridges, and to lay it out in graceful and varied walks, Would at once form a lasting ornament to the town, a Powerful attraction to strangers, and a source of healthful recreation and enjoyment to the inhabitants.

Iu another column our readers will find a list of sub -letiptions, made in order to carry into effect a series of pro ireted improvements in the island iu the river Ness. This beautiful spot is situated in the outskirts of the town, at not more than ten minutes walk from the Exchange. It is, however, perfectly secluded from the noise and bustle of the town, and surrounded as it is by woods and waters, aorl in the background by a chain o f l o f ty mounta i ns, f orms 4 sce ne that may he said to unite the characteristic charms 'if soft and of Alpine scenery, and which is rarely to be met with in the immediate vicinity of a populous and trading b urgh. The Ness is here as broad if not so regal as the T hames at Windsor.' It retains, after a course of six miles, all the purity of its parent lake, and winding on towards 11 4 town is broken into numberless little falls which add g r eatly to the effect of the scene, and in a calm evening may heard at a considerable distance. In the very centre of . `'s stream i s th e i s land alluded to—covered with trees and , ' , lshwo o d so as to resemble a forest in miniature, and Ltolated in the midst of the waters in a way that has often taolinded 1/9 of the "small green isle" which Lord I3yron's Prisoner saw from his " barred windows" at Chillon, and ° f which he gives so touching and beautiful a description. fr om are well-frequen t e d walks on each side of the river, 1 : ° n 1 Inverness to the island , but havin g arrived o pp o.. , 4 .4 to this interesting object, the visitor must torn 44 d retrace his steps to the town, for he has no op- Portunit y of exploring the scene that wooes his a pp roach, of crossing; the river, excepting at the distance of more than amile. To r e medy this defect in a land naPe otherwi se so complete and enchanting, some spirit , indi v id ua l s instituted the subscription for throwing bridges across the two branches of t he Ness, and the 'uer4 lity with which our local authorities and others hav i e l 1/4kne forward in support of the undertaking augurs we ,Z t its ultimate success. We would in particular instance s't hand some sums subscribed scribed by his Grace the Duke of f ~trdon, the Right lion. Charl es G ran t, M r . Robert Grant , "'id Mr. Inglis of London, all of wh om ar e ever ready to 'o atribute tu any scheme that promises to be either useful or ornamental to their native country. The Island is of a !gui-circular s h a p e , and is rather bett er t h an f our ac res in .jtent—a space that will afford eutlicient scope f or se rpen- I 4 walks, and o th er appropriate decorati ons . Pl ans h a ve 'gni received which give an admirable outline of the whole, s ad an excellent Lithographic print of the Island, exhibit 'rig the proposed Bridges, has been struck off. On the Whole there can be but one opinion as to the desirableness of the projected improvements, and it rests with our towns men whether or not they will be carried into effect. The capital of the Highlands ought surely to exhibit some traces of the perfection of art as well as nature, and, though In verness is justly celebrated fur the beauty of its local situa tion, it has no promenade of the description alluded to, while the two principal walks on the opposite banks of the River, want some connecting link to render their mutual • attraction complete. Dean Swift said long ago, that the man who grows two ears of corn w‘ere only one grew before, is more useful than warriors or legislators, and we cannot help thinking that he who contributes to multiply the means of cheap and innocent recreation—who opens up the v o lum e of nature and invite s the weak and seden tary to walk abroad and gaze upon its beauties—performs a task that ought to be numbered among his good works, and entitles him to be considered as no niears benefactor of Iris specie., id)) mustattenanswer when called for.

MILLINERS' APPRENTICES. Yesterday evening an inquisition was taken at the sign of the Argyll Arms, in Argyll -street, before T. HimGs, Esq., Coroner, on view of the body of a girl, aged only 19 years , named Catherine Aram. Mr. John Hartup stated , that the deceased was, u se phtohatdhheeetiiim\evitohf h h i e m r a d ho iss t o it h fi itvioe n Neeks; her busi ness in his employ. v ness waS to make up ladies' dress caps, veils, and other fancy articles of female attire, When she came to him she said she had just left a fashionable magazin des modes, in Beak -street, Regent-street, where she had served her time; but the business of her late employers was so extensive, that she and the rest of the young ladies were, upon particular occasions, obliged to sit up the whole of the night to finish the dresses they were engaged upon ; and finding that her constitution was not adequate to the labour imposed on her, she was determined to leave the situation, and seek for another where there was less fatigue. Witness agreed to take her at a salary of 15/. a year, board and lodging, and she en tered upon her service. She, however, had not been there long, perhaps a-wo#lts-4"-""v" attacked with an hysterical fit, from the effects of which she soon recovered, and in about ten days after that, she had a similar attack, and she complained of a sick head-ache, which produced considerable bodily weak ness, and witness sent her home to her family, in order that she might meet with proper attendance, and be under the immediate care of her friends. About a week before her death she returned to her employment, partly recovered, yet still her counte nauce was pallid, and her system seemed altogether reduced. On Thursday evening about six o'clock, she arose from the tea-table, and- went up stairs to her chamber to wash her hands previous to resum ing her work. Witness had occasion to go past her door in a few minutes after, when he observed the unfortunate girl lying upon the floor; he caused an instant alarm, and Mr. Hunter Nicholson, the sur geon of Conduit-street was sent for, but she was quite dead. Foreman—What hours do your young women work, Mr Hartup ?—Mr. Hartup.—From eight in the morning, till ten at night. Foreman.—Fourteen hours : that certainly is too much for any female to bear. Others of the Jury acquiesced in the opinion of their foreman. Mr. Hartup said, that his situation was much easier than the one the deceased had left, as she had told him she had frequently worked 18 hours out of 24. The Jury exonerated Mr. Hartup from all blame, but must say that they considered the poor girl's death had been hastened by being over-NN orked be fore she went to live with Mr. Hartup. One of the jurors said it was a notorious fact, that at all the principal dress-makers' at the west-end of the town, the apprentices actually worked day and night, and even the Sabbath was devoted to labour, to satisfy the tastes of ladles of fashion. It was frightful to think human life should be sacrificed to the whim of fashion. After someobservations from the jury, they agreed to return a verdict—" That the deceased died from natural causes, by the visitation of God." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The sport, there is no doubt will be superior to any thing of the kind ever witnessed here, and the regulations made by the committee of manage ment are such as lead us to hope it will be wholly free from alloy. The course for the vessels is appointed thus : —To start from a vessel to be moored off the Noe with the Union Jack at the mast-head ; from thence to pass through the east channel of the Breakwater, round a vessel to be anchored there with a Blue Flag ; from thence round a v essel with a Red Flag, to be anchored off Penlee Point; and from thence to return round the Blue Flag through the eas t channel of the Breakwater, and round the Union Jack.

Lord CARNARVON presented a petition from the silk manufacturers of Manchester and Salford, praying that the duties on wrought silk might not be decreased, but rather increased. Mr. Robertson presented the sth report of the Commissioners for making the Holyhead roads. Lord MELVILLE presented a petition from the Provost, Magistrates, and Inhabitants of Reddin ton, North Britain, praying their Lordships to pre serve sacred the depositories of the dead. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved the thir s t reading oi!' the Irisk Cities and Towns Improvement and New South Wales Justice Administration Bills. The House went into a Committee upon the Holy head Roads Improvement Bill, and received the report. The Bishop of LONDON laid on the table the report of the Commissioners for building New Churches. The Turnpike Roads Regulating and Custom s Bills were read a second time. The Duke of WELLINGTON withdrew (as we understood) the Irish Promissory Notes Bill. The Savings' Banks Amendments Bill passed through a Committee with one amendment. The Earl of CARNARVON was sorry to see the largest amount which Benefit SocietieS could place in these Banks was 300/., because he was con vinced that, by proper management, those Societies afforded almost the only chance of diminishing the amount of the poor-rates, and of introducing a system of independence amon g the labouring poor. SLAVE POPULATION, Lord SEAFORD presented a petition from cer tain proprietors of the East and West India Cclo- Nies resident in Aberdeen, praying their Lordships to institute a Commission of Inquiry to proceed to India and to report on the condition of the Slaves, before their Lordships adopted any measure' preju dicial to their interest. . - - Lord CALTHORPE stated that it would be in the recollection of their Lordships, that in 1823 a very considerable feeling prevailed throughout the empire against slavery, as existing in the West. In dian wench:. That feeling was adopted by Par liament, and laws were passed for the improvement of the moral and physical condition of the slaves, in order gradually to prepare them for emancipation. Now he could not agree in what had fallen from the Noble Doke on a former evening, that the colonial assemblies had recognised the principle of those laws. He considered their conduct, instead of a recogni tion, rather as an evasion of the principle of those laws. The legislature of Jamaica was the only one which had passed an act on the subject, and that was disallowed by the Government here, because in the provision it made, there was a direct interference with the rights of religions worship. Now this he thought was a good proof of the little disposition there existed in that colony to follow up the spirit of the re solutions agreed to by both Houses of Parliament. He would not dwell farther on this point. What he was disposed to impress on their Lordships waa, the formidable obstacles which existed in slavery it self to obstruct the execution of any- orders which might be sent out for ameliorating the condition of the slaves. It was a great mistake to suppose, that in an atmosphere vitiated and saturated with slavery, there should not be unwillingness to carry into effect recommendations adopted by a l'arliament composed of freemen. For this reason, he did not expect that much would be done willingly in the colonies to carry into effect the resolutions of Par liament in 1823. He had no doubt of the steady purpose of the Noble Duke opposite, and the good intentions of his Majesty's Government generally, to carry the resolutions of Parliament into effect ; but he regretted that they did not seem sufficiently sensible—that they did not take a due estimate of the obitacles which opposed themselves in the colo nies to the accomplishment of that object which he had 110 doubt they were desi rous to accompl i sh. Among those obstacles, he looked upon the tone of insubordination, and he might say defiance, adopted in some of the colonies in opposition to the resolti lions of Parliament, and the instructions sent out by the Government as founded upon them. ' It was, he repeated, the tone in which the resident proprietors spoke, and that they still held the lan guage of defiance, which lie deplored. He spoke not. of this as any party question, Ile should be offer ing an indignity to the House, if he thoaght that any disclaimer of party was necessary on this sub. ject. But it %yea a question in which their Lord ships were bound by a sense of what was dire to the dignity of Parliament, to see that its re solutions were carried into effect ; and the Go vernment, of whomsoever it consisted, owed it to Parliament and to the country to take such steps as would tint an end to insubordination and de fiance to the measures recommended by both Houses. The Noble Lord, after eulogising tire great military talents and achievements of the Noble Duke at the head of the Government, suggested, that be should pursue the same energetic course with respect to the question before the House, as he had in his military career, and concluded by presenting a petition from Bristol, praying that the resolutions of Parliament in 1822, for ameliorating the condition of the slaves, might be carried i n t o e ff ect. After the petition had been read at length, The Duke of WELLINGTON had stated on • the occasion alluded to, that the principle of the measures recommended by Government was adopted in nearly all the colonies. What he meant was, that by the appointment of protectors of slaves, that principle was recognized. The Noble Lord must be aware that there was a difference between the adop tion by a legislative measure of a principle recom mended, and the adoption of a particular measure involving OAS principle. The Legislature of Ja maica did adopt the principle of appointing a pro ;tator of slaves, through not as it was recommended —that of a protector paid by Government.— Their mode of establishing protectors was by committees in the several parishes, He could have wished that this appointment had been upon had been adopted w hi e h wou ld g i ve protect i on to ano.ther plan ; but still h e was g l a d t h at some thi ng the slave in any manner, It would be tire business of the Government nod the local authorities to see that due protec;i:\n was principle of the meaa d' h e a a s n a y i,d G ti o ja v t er t l i t i m e Government had been adopted. thus adnritek 4 i 'should fail of affording that due pr o . teeti,aa - Which the condition of the saves required, ;t would become the duty of those who were bound such measures as would ensure it.

Arch 44ving that power, Government could not in terfere and force themv upon them. Did the Noble Lord wish its to use force The Government proposet g i k l o n ? If so, he would No:, te Noble Lord that had not the power d en forcing them, even -f we wished to do so. We had not the powe • of ,governing these Colone s bv force, any more than We had the power of governing this country by f,ree. We could onlyovern them as this country was governed—by g laws enacted tf,,,the 'means of sanction of the IJouses of .Legisla titre. he could not conchtde without reminding the Noble Lord, that ha roust not expect that in proportion as the Walt - dive Assemblies assented to the wishes of th'e ,country, in the same. proportion laws word emanate from them on the subject, whip would bear the test and scrutiny of the acute minds of the Noble Lord and of his friends, by coming up to the perfection which the Noble Lord had 40,k used to observe in British legislation. Time was necessary for perfection in all things, and legislation was not excluded from this general rule. Lord SEAFORD by no means agreed with the Noble Lord in supposing that there existed an indis position (the Noble Lord appeared to think that it amounted almost to a physical inability) in the in- Iribitatits of these colonies to coincide with the • The Property may lie vieweu on appu This (lay wac published, price 4s.
