Had the INoble Judges of Fing '• ' -cur and his accomplices pronounced these Wretches. insane, and sent them to a -,Lunatic • Asylum instead of to the guillotine, the world • would have been no longer shocked by the de plorable spectacle of a KING momentarily in danger of death at the hands of his own subjects. High treason is more effectually represSed by shaving heads than by cutting them off—that worst of all remedies for the repression of crime. All the Journals have articles upon the con tradiction given by M. GUIZOT to the report that the KING had promised to evacuate Algiers. The Quotidienne is the only paper that declines •..• to accept the assertion of the Ministers as a proof that such is the fact. The accounts from European Turkey are 'yery alarming. It was beginning to be doubted whether the Porte, without the co-operation of • the Great Powers, could put down the insurrec . • tion.s in Bulgaria and Candia. A protest of Prince Lou's NAPOLEON against . the harshness of the measures for his deten:ion at Ham, appear in the Commerce. We - shall endeavour to find room for it in our columns of to - morrow. TRIAL OF DARMES—SENTENCE OF THE COURT OF PEERS. On Saturday at seven, P. as., the Court pronounced its Judgment. Darrnes, condemned to death, is to be conducted to the place of execution and punished as a parricide, namely, bare feet, en chemise, and a black veil over his head. He is then to be guillotined. It is expected he will be executed on Monday at five, A. M. Considee and Duclos were acquitted, but the latter is to be detained, to Le tried for illegal detention of arms. Darmes appears resigaed to his fate. THE EASTERN QUESTION.—Both the Moniteur Parisien and the Presse announce that the signature of the final pro , toeol on the Eastern question is postponed. NEWS FROM SPAIN. It appears from our Madrid letters of the 23d that a powerful opposition is preparing in the Deputies against the new Ministry. ~Doo Carlos has issued an order of the day, dated Bourgos, •"'ay 16, countersigned by Don Jose Tamariz, releasing the Carlists from their oaths to him, in order that they may return to Spain if they think proper, as the French Govern '. I nent was ab out to w i t hd raw a ll supplies from the refugees now in France. This decree is expected to be the forerunner of Don Carlos's liberation. Negoti at i ons are still going on at R ome to i n d uce D on Miguel to resign his pretensions to the Portuguese throne on the condition of receiving an allowance. The M on i teur announces that the J emappes , s hi p o f th e li n e, had sailed from L'Orient for Toulon on the 24th instant. The Didon and the Minerva frigates; and the .Acheron man-of-war steamer, sailed on the 28th, from Toulon for the Levant. This concentration of the French navy in those Raters was held to prove the degree of uneasiness suggested by the dist racted state of the Turkish empire. The disturbances had extended to Romania. Letters from Vienna of the 21st inst. state that Prince Met lernich had, in consequence of the, probable dissolution of the Melbourne Cabinet, resolved not to leave for his estates before ' th e l atter end of the month of June. 'Lord Beauvale hadulso postponed his departure for the same • reasons. • Letters f rom a ll parts of the C ont i nent represent the stand ing crops as the finest ever seen. A correspondent of the Toulonnais writes from Algiers Amongst th e f ema l e pr i soners w h o h ave recent l y arr i ve d a t ` lll Pers, and have just b ee n e xc h ange d, were th ree remar k a ble for their personal appearance. One, in particular, was very Pretty, and was attended by a negress as her servant. This Arab beauty, attired in a black burnous, on arriving at Algiers, remained reclining on her mule, being wounded in the thigh by a ball. She excited the most lively interest among the males, and the most romantic sympathy amongst the females. ' 3 . A tale has"been told of her which the habits of the Arabs ren 'der' not improbable. She was, they say; the wife of a Mara bout, whose tribe was pillaged and nut to fire and sword by our soldiers on the sth instant. Her husband was mortally • wounded, and her father used the greatest efforts to prevent her falling into the hands of the French, but he himself fell in • 411 -e rencontre. Her foster brother seeing the impossibility of saving her, and unwilling that she should become a prisoner. fired at her almost point blank, but by some chance the ball airily hit her in the thigh, and she became the prize of the c onquerors." A letter from Salzburg, of the 20th of May, in the Augs- In 'rg Evening Journal, says—" The report which has been so often repeated, that Don Carlos will obtain passports from the French Government, ani will shortly leave Bourges to tome to this city, obtains at this time more credit, because letters from Vienna, coming from an authentic quarter, make attention of it. This news has excited a great sensation in our eity."— Gazette de France. fhe mission which Messrs. Piscatory and Foy are going to eio.lute in Greece, appears to be urgent, for they arrived at Toulon on the 23d, and were to leave it on the 24th or 25th for the Piraeus. This mission, says a letter ti om Toulon, is en veloped in profound mystery; but it is believed to be very im- Portant. If, as the La Presse says, a squadron is sent to these seas, it is to support, if necessary, the demands of our E nvoy addressed to the Greek Government. It is certain that a xiaval division has been for some days ready to sail under the command of Rear-Admiral Baron Lasusse, who has lately been summoned to Paris, but is expected here every moment. The Triton and the Ville de Marseilles are ordered to convey to Africa apart of the sharp-shooters of Vincennes, who are txpezted at Toul on at t h e b eg i nn i ng of next month. arai i rs redof thet E coapsty_ofL of th e e le, P e . ats, M AY 29.—The Univers says that the MinistrY his protocol of London relative to the TRIESTE' MA Y 19 Commerce. .—The steam-boat which arrived to y brings us news of importance. At Alexandria the Hatti Selerif for the regulation was expected, but, as we learn from Constantino le by letters of the 6th, the sending of it had been delayed by the troubles in Bulgaria, which required all the at tention of the Porte; for the same reason theConsul-General had deferred his departure for Alexandria. Other accounts from Constantinople of the same date say that tranquillity is restored in the districts of Nissa, Sophia, and Phillippepolis , tha t is after sixty village s h a d b een totally destroyed by the Albanians. 'Captain Zencovich reports that he met in the sea of Marmora with the Turkish squadron which is to blockade the island of Candia. It consists of a ship of the line under Admira l Tahir P aella, a corvette, a steam-boat, arid eighteen transports. The blockade was to commence on the 15th of this month.

This action was tried in the Bail Court, before Mr. Justice Wightman, on Thursday last, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff. Mr. PLATT now moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict ought not to be entered for the defendant upon the second plea. It was an action brought against the defendants for negligence in their calling as carriers. It was not neces sary for him to go more at length into the evidence than to say that a truss of goods were sent off by the plaintiffs, addressed " Messrs. J. and J. Morrison, London," and that it had never arrived at its destination, which was the premises of Morrison Dillon and Co., in Fore-street. The goods were ordered by a traveller of the Messrs. Morrison. 'I he plaintiffs at the same they sent off the truss, sent a bill of parcels, or invoice, which was headed J. and J. Morrison and Co., debtors to Coats and Shaw, and then followed a list of the goods and their prices. The Learned Gentleman cited several cases, in which it was laid down that the property in goods so sent off vested in the consigness the moment they got into the hands of the carrier, and he contended, upon their authority, that if any cause of action existed, Messrs. Morrison, Dillon, and Co. ought to have been the plaintiffs, and that the plaintiffs had no right to maintain the action.—Rule granted. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) Their Lordships were engaged with the Special Paper all day. , liothing or public interest transpired. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) James Smith, an old man, between sixty and seventy years of age, was placed before Mr.-Hall, under the following cir cumstances : Thomas Riley stated that the prisoner came to his master's, who keeps a livery.stable, and engaged three stalls, stating Oat he was coachman to Lady Craven, who was coming from Tu,lbridge in a few days. The prisoner then requested the w it n ess to get him a lodging, and the witness offered him a part of his house till he could get one, which the prisoner ac cepted ; the prisoner took the whole of his meals with the witness, am,' requested him to lend him two shillings, as he had nothing less t'lain a check of 131., which Lady Craven had paid him for wages. The witness gave him the money, and sub sequently 16, snore, He had since ascertained that he was not in the establishment of Lady Craven at all. Mr. HALL said he could not interfere in the matter. Witness—But, Sir, this is not the worst part of it, I am sorry to say. As the prisoner was going out of the house, he put his hand into one of the drawers, and took out a pocket handkerchief, which he has pledged, Mr. HALL—Oh this is something tangible. to hear the evidence. Evidence was then adduced to prove the robbery, and the prisoner was fully committed for teal. I can proceed LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

The provincial newspapers speak very generally of the awful thunder storm on the 2.1 d instant.; but, up to the misept time, we do not learn that it was accompanied with any considerable calamity, if we except that of the church of St. Jean Sart, in the commune of Aubel, where the electric fluid did consider able injury to the plate on the altar, and broke every square of glos in the building. The damage is estimated at 1,5001. The church is insured. FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL.

MENTZ, MAY 23.—Yesterday evening, the fol lowing accident occurred here. Of the two floating baths, which lie on our bank of the river, each containing at least thirty apartments for bathers, one suddenly sank yesterday evening a little after six o'clock, so that the persons of both sexes who were bathing had scarcely time to escape, a few in their shirts, and most of them quite naked, by running across AMPs barges, and thus saving themselves from certain death, 1 The bath sank immediately with the clothes of the bathers and all that it contained. Heaven be praised, no lives were lost. As soon as the circumstance was known, thousands of inhabitants hastened to the bank of the Rhine, many of them to look for their relations, whom they, knew to be in.,the bath, and to bring them clothing. As tar as is yet known, the accident was not caused by any external violence, nor by wind or storm, for the weather was calm, but by the springing of a leak in the bottom of the vessel, which is said to be old and crazy. BRUSSELS, MAY 27.—Count Gorowski hag obtained for these three day,s past, permission to go about the city without restraint, on giving his word of honour not to go to any distance out of it. The day before yesterday the would be son-in-law of the Infant Pon 1 rancis di Paulo, was st}en driving in the Alleeverte, in an open chariot, in company with Prince Linoski, his country man, who arrived on Uontlay from London, at Antwerp, on board the Princess Victoria steam-boat. On the 24th of this, month, a farm-house in the com mune of Hernsentruberg, was struck by lightning ; the whole was in flames in an. instant, so that the larnetes had scarcely time to escape. The damage aim:punts to 25,000 francs. The heat of the weather for some days past has been so great, that it is difficult to air the mines, so that fresh accidents are apprehended in those coal mines, in the province of Liege, which are subject to explosiola of fire-damp. BRUSSELS, MAY 28.—Baron Dieskau, orderly-officer to his Majesty the King, and another officer •of the household, are gone to Ostend to receive the Duchess of Kent. POSEN, MAY 16.—We understand that the details of the grand reviews for this year have been received, and that it is not only finally determined that the reviews shall place near Lennitz in Silesia, but that orders have been given to the 7th Corps of the Army to be there at the same time with our sth Corps, so that there will be 60,000 men, with more than 200 pieces of cannon.

HER MAJESTY S THEATRE. vonizettl 1 s opera seria, Fausta, was performed on Saturday, 'at her Ma jesty's Theatre.—The plot is but ill c:llculated to conciliate the favour of those who bestow much attention op the libretti with which the scecessors of ilpta!3tttsio supply their cool posers. Like that of Lucrezia Borg z q, its mainfeatures Are repulsive, whilst its tragic situations have not near so happily inspired the prolific maestro whom Bergamo has poncerreft the musical world. A few lines of Gibbon's " Decline and Fall " have probably afforded Signor Bidera the principal ma teiial,z of his two acts. His theme is the murder of Crispus, eldest son and presumptive he;r of Constantine the Great, by order of his father—a deed imputed" to the arts of his stoprupthcr, Fausta, whose implacable hatred, or disappointed love, renewed in the palace of Constantine the ancient tragedy of Hippolitus and Piadra. The op era h as an overture which is too colour less a composition to merit the inquiry whether it belong to it or not. The first morceau worth noticing in the first apt is Alt air of Fausta, which she sings in the third scene, after dis missing her attendant Licinia. It is far from presenting any original feature, and required the great exertions of Grisi to Fondgr it effective. Th e d ue t, •• No, sull' altar rammento," does more credit to Pnnizetti, and was, we think, entitled to more approbation, nobly executed As it was by the aCcAM plished vocalist we h ave just named, and Tamburini, who en acted the part of Constantine. In the concluding scenes Grisi won almost the only very loud applat.se that was awarded tet the opera. Fausta will, perhaps, obtain more favour on a repetition, hnt it certainly met with a very lukewarm recep tion on Saturday ; Her Majesty and Prince Albert arrived in the tint :cane, and withdreW as the curtain fell over its last act. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—A new drama —or rather melt.drama—entitled Marie Ducan ye, was produced on Saturday night last at the Haymarket Theatre with very triumph an t su ccess. It is from the pen of Mr. Bernard, Marie Ducange (Celeste) is a Jersey girl, the foster child of a Major Audley ( Bennett), who has reared her until old age was overtaken by loss of sight, and Marie became the beautiful guiding star of the blind old officer. Lascelles, a generous young man of fortune, is yachting about the island, and is charmed and captivated by Marie. He has an uncle, from whom he derives his means, and who expects him to marry a cousin at home ; and he has a friend who persuades him to do everything for his uncle and his interest, and against his inclination arid his conscience. Lascelles and his friend Rawdon are perso nated by Phelps and Webster. But Marie has another lover to whom she was early betrothed, and who arrives only in time to provoke the rivalry of Lascelles, and to fall in a duel by his hand. Upon the crisis of necessity Marie then leaves Jersey with Lascelles, whom she madly loves, and who marries her. He brings her to Southampton, where his uncle (Strickland) joins them, and makes disinheritance and poverty the condition of his not deserting Marie ( with whom his Catholic marriage proves illegal, being:unratified by the Protestant ceremony), and wedding the cousin to whom he was betrothed. On the night of the uncle's arrival Lascelles had a party, from whichhis friend Rawdon lures him, and by plying hun with drink intoxi cates him into complying with his uncle's demand. He rushes half mad amonghisguests, appals pocr Marie, who dismisses them after Lady Macbeth's fashion, is overtaken by Rawdon, and hurries to his uncle's carriage, leaving his poor wife in distrae thin and dismay. She is reading a letter left to apprise her of his desertion just as her foster-father arrives from Jersey to forgive her for her elopement ; but the effect of the letter is such that he only comes in lime to stand over the inanimate body of poor Marie. When Marie recovers she is without tense, and her foster-father dies of his child's affliction. She herself is taken under the roof a faithful servant, and lives in a kind of delusive madness, imagining that her husband will return. Even tually Lascelles does come back; and, after a series of melo dramatic incidents, the alternative is hit upon of layout ing the delusion of Marie by giving a party in the same rooms of the same mansion (now left by his uncle to Lascelles) in which he had ori gioallylett her deserted and aggrieved. The stratagem succeeds— the interview with, and apparent return of, her husband realises her deln,ion, and restores eonscousness, and the curtain fals upon the melo-dramatie ecstasy of the love-abandoned girl. The humour that runs through the piece hangs upon tke ec centric earnestness of a sort of Jeremy Didler of the Mane of Prong (Wrench), who is about to make the fortune of every seacoast town, by establishing it as a watering-place, and who is exceedingly pressing in making people get and pay up th e i r shares ; also, as proprieto r of mock assembly-rooms, Co n d ucts a promenade orchestra with infinite ene rgy an d humour. a: Celeste ggave every effect to the character of the heroine: She played with a sprightly and earnest devotiest 'so her part, and took the interest of the a ud ience , .rris Phelps gav e a good tone of feeling te, part of ascetics.; and Webster was pieeedingly good as Ra wdon, the cool anti heartioas misleader of his friend.

T ICE RESO LUTION OF WANT OF CONFIDENCE. Another interminable debate on a most ptievlle mo tion, treated on one side at least in a most, elaborately childish manner, has just set in in the Hotise of Com mons. What an edifying spectacle it is to. .witntss the; Prime Minister expectant and the would-be' saviour of his country, spending four mortal hours in an endoavoiir to prove that two instances of Parliamentary crises, each of which was absolutely sui generis and mdilie thing that ever went before or after, do not in nil points resemble a third Parliamentary crisifi, Vguial n its in circumstances and 1111pre941* (1 3 circumstances If ,ever mortal tidal or Ninister created 4, re,eedent for himself 144 reonired a tokt anal sangr.itie tempo . . -2- iyltmt *even to Comm.. e . pOO4IIItY. 1 4 its "itetlea,s, it waS If i iiiiii stance Of . a ParlianientaFy crisis Which ilesffYto ft • tt? . vyiiite , il xOl iti o t§34-3; thite''Oer were - •• -!. • • . stances Oat a Ministry in stepping a little as= i from precedent. and following the examnlq T 4 !t * jictl)prf eeft, cl:egthig"tiweCti4en, it; .

Of a truth, it must be a great blessing to be ruled by a man who is so great a master of form, so great a lover of candour, and so profound a student in the vote-books of half a century ago, as the great Sir Robert. Of course it cannot be supposed for a moment that the motion will have any result at all, unless it ends in the defeat of its proposer. In that case, indeed, it would be clearly' seen to be a false move, and it would there fore rebound with shame upon the heads of its authors. If it succeeds, Sir Robert can hardly expect thereby to deter the Ministers from a dissolution. The debate would seem to be nothing more than— " Much Ado about Nothing." —Tablet. THE MOVEMENT. - PROGRESS IN STAFFORDSHIRE. This county well performs its duty in the present crisis. - Agitation—the struggle to revive waning pros perity—the vital effort against personal starvation and national ruin—is bravely, zealously, and heroically sup ported in the county of Stafford. Despite the hypocri tical cant of professing ministers of Christ,—despite the sophistry and plausible falsehoods of pretended " far mers' friends,"—despite the tyranny of generous land lords, land masters, and merciful authorities,—the work ing men of Staffordshire are boldly and energetically up and doing, in the present holy crusade against the Bread tax -the present hopeful campaign against monopoly. We, last week, had to record glorious proceedings at Wolverhampton, Walsall,Lichfield, and other places. We had previously narrated similar movements at Darlaston, and in other parts of the county. In our present number, still more numerous instances are recorded. Bilston has assembled the largest meeting remembered them Wednesbury has nobly seconded her neighlont.'s de sips ; . stration.

We believe that the Mayor, having received the requisition as he was about leaving home for London, promised that he wonld take the matter into consideration, and return an answer from London, The Mayor d6clines to call such a meeting, under existing circumstances, on the ground that a public meeting of the borough had been held a few days ago for the same object, and that a petition agreed to at that meeting was now in course of signature; thereby affording to every inhabitant of the borough an opportunity of recording his opinion in relation to these laws. The requisitionists, aiftir, ther appears by the advertisement, on receiving the Mayor's reply, determined to hold the meeting nevertheless ; and they have convened it for Wednesday next, at eeven o'clock, to be held in Stevenson's-square, " for the pur pose of protesting against the bread-tax." The requisi tionists held a meeting last evening, in Carpenteesmhall, which was nearly full, Mr. Warren, the president of the Operative Anti-Corn-law .4)Asacliition, in the chair ; when it was determined that ten of the requisitionists, on behalf of the whole, should convene the meeting, to be held as above stated. They also agreed upon a, ferns of protest against the Corn and Provisinu=laws to be sub-: mitted to the public meeting, and, if' approved of, to be sent to . all the temporal and spiritual peers, and to all the Members of the House of Commons ; and it was deter-. mined that the meeting should adjourn till the Micas of the protest had been seen in the votes on .i j oy i l William's and Mr. Villiers' motions on the Ofern-laws. It was also resolved, that Mr. Cobdeik should be requested to take the chair on Wednesday.—Manchcster Guardian. For the borough of Leeds the Anti-Monopoly party have called out Mr. Hume and Me. Win. Aldam, jun. ; and the Monopoly party have invited Mr. Wm. B( ckett and Lord Jocelyn, The Reformers have wisely chosen a Whig and a Radical, and the men they have selected do them honour. Mr. Hume is one of the most valuable public men in the kingdom ; and Mr. Aldan' is a young man of excellent talent:, high principle, and most liberal views, closely connected with the trade of this borough, Some of the more ardent Radicals had conceived a prejudice against Mr. Aldan', in consevevee of his not being decided on the Ballot ; but the ex.piana don given in his Address of his views this subject, and the personal explanation of his principles at a meet ing of the Liberal electors yesterday morning ; have qui• . , e removed every unfavourable impression, and won th ,, respect and confidence of the electors.

THE LATE TIIIINDLIRSTOIIM.—O n Thursday eeening this town and neitthbourhood were visited with one of the most violent thuiKlOr storms ever remembered. The day hsd beep ypry aultrv,' rod towards sunset the clouds in the south-east at' the edge of the horizon portended a tempest. From eight o'clock till half-past nine the lightning flashed literally without ceasing ; indeed, we do not recollect having witnewd such innumerable discharges of the electric fluid it so short a space. At the latter point of time the thunder beg! to be heard, rapidly increasingg in l on d ness un til i t b urst e rep our heads with a noise resembling the simultaneous disch arge of a park of artAlery. The wind blew strongly fr .= t h e south, and a storm of hail, or rather of •,;trees of ice," fell with u Violence seldom seen in Etr;tand. In the buildin7, 3 exposed to the south the window s were broken by !'..undreds and thousands, terrifying the inmates, especially females, by the suddenness of the unusual visitation. The extreme intensity of the storm abated soon after 10 o'clock, and passed into other districts, spreading dismay and devasta tion over the country. The damage caused by this appalling,' storm is enormous. At the Great Western Railway statiun almost every pane in their numerous skylie-lits was broken, and we hate heard that it will cost nearly 2001. to replace them. The hailstones were of sipres from that of a hazelnut to a small walnut, and therefore most destructive wherever they fell perpendicularly. In the surrounding villages the damage was of a most serious character. At Purley tire valuabl , cows, the property of Mr. B. Peel, were struck by the electr' fluid, and instantly kilted. They were of a superirm deseiip and were destined for the pastures of Sir R. Peel, at Dray n; Manor.

In pa.ssing through rievonshire - 0 4 few years ago he saw beautit'uJ Isass's.",ng little cottages with the myrtle and hawthorn growing art:wild them. He went inside of them, but what did he find? There was a clay floor, very wet, tpia no furniture? There were men with only "s,, or Bs. a week, with which they could scarcely keep soul and body together. These were the class of men whom the Corn-law land lords considered their country's pride.—(Hear, hear.) Would they consent to be their country's pride ?—(No, no.) He then rroceeded to state in the course of advo cating the repeal of the Corn-laws, Chartists, when they were made properly to understand the question, became Anti-Corn-law lecturers. In 1535, when alt.! t. , (41 , 1t was cheaper by nearly one half than it was in IWO, the work men's wages were raised nearly fiVe par cent,, whilst in the last named year the wagea of' the manufacturing popula tion were rasluoqd 10 per cent. Those were questions which they ought to consider well, especially as th e y would be called upon soon to exercise their franchise. They would, doubtless, be canvassed by all parties and if they should go home and find their wives and Ligh ters weeping for the black of the Brasil% or the West In dies, they should ask them if they had began to weep for the bleeding industry of their own neighbours. Mr, Alderman BROOKS, from Manchester, vests re ceived with loud applause. He said the Whig,. Tory, Chartist, and Radical party were united its die manufar- 1 turing districts against the Cornsiaws. They heard of the story of a man and wife fightints, k'lia all and when some person came in to separate them tl' on him and beat him off: That, ..),-- both turned eras just the way they should do—they should leav"s-ofriighting with themselves and fight against the Corn-laws. They talked of protec tion. Why, anything that wanted protectim showed a weakness to start with, If they saw a strong healthy man going along the street, they would never say he wanted protoetiNt S but if they saw a poor old woman crossing the !-IklW:h and a coach coming, they would say, "Go away, old woman." What they wanted was trade, and the sliding scale prevented them from making any calculations with regard to corn, and, i n conse q uence , t h ey were de prived of trade in that article, for which they could send out tligir goods, and when a scarcity came they were (slaked to send out their gold, thereby crippling their trade, He had had a letter the day before from his tra voller at Walsall, and he was told he could get no orders, for there was nothing doing. There were fifty furnaces stopped there, and all this was caused by these laws. He believed that the manufacturers in his district had not Made a shilling for the last three or four years, and he enlas wished the merchants and brokers of Liverpool would matte inquiries as to the cause. After calling on the electors to act conscientiously at the next election, and " do unto others as they would be done by," he said they asked for justice and a total repeal of the Corn-laws, and then sat down loudly applauded. 14 17 , Alderman CORDEN, from Manchester, said, in looking over the Mail, which some friend had been kind enough to send him, he found that the meeting was described as having been a tt en d e d b y a f ew hundreds of people, and that they were chiefly of the " lower or. ders." He was very glad to find that they had the is lower'' class amongst them. He was glad to find it admitted that all the rubbish the bread-taxers had put forth about high and low wages had not succeeded in deluding the work ing classes,--s(Appiause.) This brought him to remark ntaral a placard industriously posted in his town, and he fancied they had had some of them in Liverpool, calling on them to remember that the low price of bread in Po land and Russia brought very low wages. Surely that must be the very Mist resource when they were obliged to draw a oamparison between the condition of the work ing class of England, whom they attempted to persuade that they were well off, and the Polish serfs. He though they had a glorious Constitution and that their country was the envy of . surrounding nations, and the admiration of the world.—(Loud cheers.) He thought that the pt ens who made this comparison always geed that the working classes of this country were under the benign Government of a Church and State, who especially looked to their interest.—(Cheers.) That connection had Leen enjoyed by them for a century and a half, Pa id yet, when they wanted to prove that the ~:perking classes were not so bad as they were, they went to Poland to comparetlasin with the Polish serfs. Was it not a little streave they did not go to a place more . familiar ti the, people of LiVerpool,—was it not stle t pip . they' did not go to a place called America ? tithe bread-taxers asserted that bread governed the rate of wages, to prove which they went on the broad scale ; they Went north and south ; they said they did not care where they went, -because the rule ap plied universally ; but how was it they did not get across the Atlantic, and test their rule by the rate of wages in New York ?a -(Applause.) They might .have called on the Irish in their way, and made their inquiries there too.---(Hear, hear, and loud applause.) He thought he g , * ppe of those bread-taxing Commissioners going alit on such an inquiry—going out on account of tin' Duke of 13uckingham, who asserted that the price of bread governed the rate of wages. He crossed to Ire land, went to Tipperary, and at last came to Clonmei, and inquired the last market price of wheat. What would it be, Sir &Ana ? How much was wheat it_ T Clonmel?"—(A voice, "695.") Whatwa s therate (kw- ,r es in Milne' ?—(". 4d. a day.") And had th e y full ":,orls'all the year round, for he always liked to inquire fiiat?-:-(No, no.) Well, then, let hint take his; pascal in the beau tiful Great Western, anal land at .N .s as , York. What was the price of wheat per- quarter Joshua ? (Stir Joshua--L•astka, pe• ~ in New York, Sir quarter.") Well, he knew semething about the and made inquiries ea.-au it , rie of wages in America, but he had no doubt there would be some tmerica r s citizens in that vast v.ssem binge who would be als;s: to tell their. They had lately had het ire them a ( ... ,. tr_iistiettl paper published by the cor poration of New . s .; ork, in which it was shown that po licemen and 'isa r tchmen, -of whom the corporation em ployed al., jut 700, got a dollar and a quarter per day, or atont ss. 6d. ' • and that was not a. bad estimate of -sue rate of wages for unskilled labourers; but they would come down a little and say that the rate for unskilled labourers was four shillings per day ; :and now they came to the perplexity of the comesissioner in writing to his Grace the Duke of Rackingliam—"May it please your Grace, stopped , at Clonmel, found the wheat 635. a quarter ; wage';, 4d. day ; men not fully employed.

He (Mr. C.) ," s . tha l ad the rate of wages. Did the Anti-Corn-law party „ Wit to diminish the rate of wages when they °P -"'..al , out for more trade ? How could they get m .ore tradr, unless they got more employment for every class of Labourers ? Would they not need more por ters and. labourers., if they imported more goods ? Would tbey not need. more ships, and that would give more esnploymeut tocarpenters ? And if they built more ships, would there not be a greater demand for sailors, acid would dray not get better wages.—(" Hurrah, that's good," said P, son of Neptune, who happened to be seated (in disc fror.t of the gallery.) The question of - wages, 1 after all, ',vas the whole question ; and thus the bread tax( I's, •although they had no consciences, were shrewd eno7igh to knot that the whole question rested on the rats of wares ; and they knew that if they could not con " ,ne , , the working man that their wages would fall the dread-tax would soon come off., He (Mr. C.) knew they coulti not do that, and therefore, the working men' would !shun do away with the Corn-laws.—(Great applause.) ba 1835, when wheat was 395. per quarter, he paid his r len the same rate of wages as he did in 1838-9, when i vheat was nearly double that price. Repaid them by a tale or rate, andlit never was altered—it was always the same. Did . the Duke of Buckingham ever make any allowance in paying his servants when the . bread was dear ?—(" No, no.") In some cases the rate of wages was settled by an Act of Parliament. In London and other places the fares of hackney coaches were settled by the Corporation. Thou sands of people were dependent upon such employment, but did the Act say you shall have ls. for such a fare, and when wheat gets up to so much you shall have Is. Gd., and when it rises still higher you shall have 25.? No : the law did not commit such an absurdity ; the law itself convicted them of falsehood in laying down such ... a proposition.

Sir—Having, for twenty-five years, joined every so ciety of Reformers bat that of the Tery-Chartists, which no honest man will join, I solicit the insertion of a few remarks in your liberal columns. I see by yesterday's papers that the above-named enemies of the working man have issued an address to the labouring classts, urging them on to elect none but Tories •in the approaching contest. Base, scoundrelly turncoats ! What, send men to Parliament who sanctioned the Manchester massacre, —who passed the Six Acts—who suspended the Habeas Corpus—who established military law—who, were Cam.' pellcd by the people and the Sovereign to allow the Whigs to pass the Reform Bill—who, even now, declare that the people of .England shall eat dear bread, dear sugar, and dear everything, while tens of thousands. are without employment, and dying. for food ! Support men like these ? Yes ; the dirty, Tory-b r ib e d O'Con norites avow it. But, mark, Sir, all that the M'Doualls, Martins, Walls, &c. can do, ! Talk of the Tory-Chartists influencing an election ! How ? In Great and Little Bolton there is not one of the base crew can give a vote—not one. I dare them to prove that there is. I have heard that in Manchester and Salford there are not 70. The people now perceive, by the speech of Joseph Surface, that the Tories, in all kinds of oppression and monopoly, are the same yesterday, to-day, and, if they can, to the end. But, Tory-Chartists, Surface-men, humanity-mongers, and all the herd of banded monopo lists, must now be crushed. The trades of England, whO first support the agriculturists, and then export fifty or sixty millions to every corner of the globe; will not perish for want, merely to have added, in forty-five years, 300 per cent. to the rent rolls of a few hard-hearted aristocrats, who care not if the burl: of the people die of starvation if they can preserve the plunder. Reformers, in the coming struggle, will be triumphant. Tory-Chartists, who never speak of lowering any of the necessaries of life, will be as dust in the balance. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, CHARLES BAKE WELL. Moor-lane, Bolton, May 26. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. My attention has been this day called to a letter in The Sun of the 27th inst., signed F. A. Kentish, which is so full of falsehood and wilful misreprsentation, that I am surprised thou should have suffered it to ap pear in thy Mullins. Within the last three months I have receiled four or five letters from this F. A. Kentish, but they have been of such a character, that I should have degraded myself by replying to them. - Mien fpurchased some shares in the Imperial Bra zilian Mining Company some ten or twelve years since, I had not the slightest idea that the - mines were worked by slaves, and many roars since I was interested with others in endeavoirring to promote their welfare and freedom, and F. A. Kentish well knows that I have re cently been co-operating with others in the same situa tion as myself, in endeavouring to obtain their complete emancipation, as the enclosed address shows, although it suits him to conceal this fact. In the next place Joseph John Gurney never has been the treasurer of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, nor has he ever held any shares in the Imperial Brazilian Mining Company. Although. nearly every sentence in Kentifth's letter contains gross misrepresentation or falsehood, I will only notice one other point for the sake of brevity, which is that at the recent general meeting of the Proprietors of the Imperial Brazilian Mitiing Association, "made special to consider the propriety of emancipating the slaves, 'and securing theh - future freedom," out of about 150 Pro prietors p.--e.3ent, only seven supported the motion, and six of these ware members of the Society of Friend-. 4 • TriPlng thus wilt give this letter, and the =cam- panssing address in proof of my statement, a place in thy columns, I am thy friend res - pectfully, HENTLIFITCKET T. sth month, 29, 1841, South-street, Finsbury. TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE IMPERIAL BRAZILIAN MINING COMPANY. Having, u nknowingly in the first instance, become Share holders in a Mining Company which employs slave labour, we deeply feel the responsibility which devolves upon us, and upon all who have an interest in Companies similarly situated. Thus impressed, allow us to call attention to the painful fact, that you, with ourselves, are slave-holders, and to present to you some information and reflections in connection with the subject. We may observe, that the Brazilian Mining Company claims about 413 slaves, of whom about 168 are men, about 114 are women, and about 131 are children ; and, in addition, there are 40 slaves hired by, contract for a period of two years. Allow us to remind you, that the slaves which are thus owned ' or hired, are the victims or descendants of those who were obtained by cruel wars, carried on hit Africa, in many instances, waged for the very purpose of procuring captives for sale, or have been procured in other ways no less inconsistent with humanity and religion. This is the origin of the slavery the Imperial Brazilian Mining Company is countenancing We not only object in the strongest manner to the wayi which this unrighteous species of property is acquired, but to the system of slavery, as in itself unjust and necessarily cruel. We cannot but regard such a system as in direct opposition to the righteous law of God, and to the merciful principles of the Gospel. Entertaining these views of the essential character of slavery, we must strongly deprecate the countenance of it by the Im- serial Brazilian Mining Company under any circumstanoes. We have, however, thought it our duty to make some inquiry Ni ry ' e ii t r th: e ua g regret character information,;vthf for h o in n ws te s a e nh :l aw e e, r ,,ee a t l ehhbeiatm,en,epi nature, extent, set either not nt o teol i n : points , s mb ael o esn n at as to the particular situation of the slaves held by the Com panyawnbn li unsatisfactory a c t it i o s a a . en e d have obtain effect of the punishments inflicted on the slaves is not known to our Directors, only oRe return of such punishments appears to have been sent home, and that several years since ! And with respect to the education of the slaves, it appears to have been abandoned in deference to the feelings and wishes of the slave-holders in the vicinity 1 We will not do eil upon the statements which have been made of cruelties perpetrated by some of the servants of the Company, when separated thousands of miles from the Direc tors; some of which, however, we believe to be too true : we would rather call your attention to the circumstance, that the slavery which is thus sanctioned by the Im p erial Brazilian Mining and in many man is a system by which millions of human beings aro subjected to a debasing , cruel, stances, life-destroying bondage —a stem which fosters both on the part of the slave and his oppr.osor, a fearful amount of immorality, anti neglect of religious obligations. It must also be ever borne in mind• that as slavery origin ated in the enormous iniquity of the Slave trade, so it conti nually fosteis this evil which exists to au enormous extent in the Brazils, in despite of laws fur its abolition ; the number of its annual victims is calculated at sixty thousand! With a know ledge of these facts, can you withhold your most strenuous ex ertions to remove from your charaoter the reproach of being a slave •holder, and from your c onscience the guilt of being i m ., and providing for slaves, respect plicated in a critne so fatally and catensively destructive to ve: Sharchoble f r r s . , to at tend-human happiness, and to the advancement of civilization and religion. The Directors have, in rccor.lance with our earnest request, resolved, to make the General Meeting of the Propset ary on the 13th of sth month (May) special for the consideration they will freely respect fully, leltyls:eebc security te o ya p rn r o i f e e t s y tthl o ye f i rcea m lflu a te n up o re i c t e ta f t ,r i ,eu n er g dbo t h rra, c 4;h sl ew a r assistance I t v o eu a l c d co l m h p at lish me i n t, s :nd m le d t e all bear that meeting, or enttust the.r proxies to th„ this righteous cause; and we trust they wilt all be so deeply ' rsed with the necessity of this step, that impr - `• Therefore all mind the precept of our Holy l:Wecuter, in their r ats a o s e si ve st r t o , : j e e r ; s th m t h ye ev e n so to them."
