SlR—Your Correspondent " Numisinaticus," in your Journal of the 13th inst., suggests the expediency of the gold coin being struck after the manner of the copper penny pieces of 1797, having a raised border with the letter indented, and not prominent. This suggestion originated with Pinkerton, and may be found in the second volume, page 148, second edition, London 1789, of his essay on medals and coins. The following is an ex tract : " The whole Olin of coinage is yet susceptible of real and most important improvements. A far higher relief might be given to the impression, so as to rival the ancients in this grand criterion of good coin ; and this relief might with ease be protected by a circle of equal height around the rim of the piece. This circle would not only serve to preserve the coin, but might, in the whole coinage bear a legend upon the edge ; an opera tion so simple as to appear upon the tin halfpence and farthings, when they were in use. This. circular legend, now used only upon the crown and half-crown, ought to adorn and protect every coin, from the five-guinea piece down to, the farthing ; for iere cannot be so easy and so effectual a guard against. forgery, (it is preferable to indent and not to raise the letters on the edge, because in the latter plan they are soon defaced). The letters aught t( be placed within the circle, and that on the edge might extend over the m hole surface, so as nothing could be taken from the coin without appearance. The copper coinage of 1717, and gold coinage of 1728, are something in the general style of this proposal, but not of sufficient relief; and without the circular legends Such as they are, however, these coinages ought to be recommended, as of the very best form which has ever yet appeared in modern times." Pinkerton concludes his suggestion,as to improvement of the coi_. in the following quaint manner :—" But any. effectual improvement of our coinage must be left till God help us ; together with the more important improve ments of the police of London, of our waste lands, and of Parliamentary representation." 1 am, sir, your's, &c. Ilfracombe, June 17, 1842. R. W. D. AUSTRALIND. Extract from a letter received by a gentleman in England, from a respectable farmer, who, with all his family, consisting of ten persons, embarked with the first body of settlers in 1840 for the Western Australian Company's settlement of Australind Australind, 31st Dec., 1841. Dear am sure you will have been much pleased to hear of our safe arrival by the Parkfield. I have reason, and especial reason, to be thankful that I and my family of eight children, and many young, should be brought over the mighty deep 13,000 miles without even an accident. This, I assure you, Sir, is a beagtiful country ; the land where the town site is to be, is sandy—but on the sides of the Brunswick, upon the plains and upon the hills, a few miles from us, is the beat land I ever saw ; it is covered with excellent feed for cows or sheep, and there is a great extent of territory southward capable of supporting vast numbers of people. I have been in Roe's Range, and was quite astonished to see such land. Upon the whole, the Company's land is said to be the finest grant in Western Aus tralia. The Port (Leschenault) is very fair, the bottom mud and clay, and I believe that a ship of any burden may anchor there with perfect safety, providing the tackle is good. The climate is very pleasant ; we have had occasional showers ever since we have been here, and every thing in the gardens looks beautifully. We have plenty of water, and I can say with truth that there is no country in the world, as far as I have heard, where the emigrant may succeed better, with care and indus try, than in this part of Western Australia. To _prove to you, Sir, that I think well of Aus tralind, I have just bought one rural section, and two town sections, in additien to my former pur chase. We are anxiously waiting for another shi -. Men of business, mechanics, such as carpenters, sawyers, &c., will get a deal of money here if steady. Women ser vants will also do well. May I request you to give my kind regard to Mr. and Mrs. ---, and tell them how happy I shall be to hear from them. Believe me, yours, &c., LEWIS BIRCH, It appears by the Perth Inquirer, No. 52, of the 15th of December last, that provisions were tendered to the Commissariat Department at the following prices : wheat, Sid. per pushel ; flour, 26/._per ton ; beef and mutton, qd. per lb. It is added that the public may ex pect to be served with the , two latter articles at a cor responding rate. - The .great increase of the number of sheep in the co lony will ensure a supply at much more moderate prices than have of late years been demanded ; in fact it is expected that in another year the price of fresh meat will not exceed 64. pwer lb., and in this case the large sum annually :paid for imported salt provisions would be saved to the colony. DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS. FRANKFORT, JUNE B.—His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Hanover, coming from Dessau, has arrived at Potsdam, and resides in the apartments prepared for him in the new palace. BERLIN, JUNE 11.—It is now fixed that his Majesty will set out on the 20th or 21st of this month for St. Petersburgh. During the King's absence the Queen will be at Dresden, where her sitter, Princess John, is said to be still in very indifferent health. If the Princess should, by the advice of her physicians, go to the bt.ths of Gaslein, his Majesty may perhaps accompany her.— Haniburgit Papers, June 14. BRUSSELS, JUNE 16.—1 n the night of the 11th of this month the village of Nasserbilling, situated a league from Grevenznacher, in the Grand Duchy; of Luxemburg, was destroyed by fire. Only five houses escaped. The King and Queen have received a deputation from Liege, which is come to Brussels to solicit their Majesties to be present at the opening of the iron railway. Their Majesties promised the deputation that they would honour the fetes with their presence on their return from England. BRUSSELS, JUNE 17.—The Court of Nassau has sent a present of 12,000 dollars to Dr. Dieffenbach, who at tended him in his late illness. The King of the Nether lands has added to this present the insigna of the order of the Netherland's Lion. FROM THE POLIES FRONTIER, JUNE 2.—lt is now no secret that Prince Cernitscheff himself takes the com mand in chief of the army in the Caucasus, to make an effort .to overawe with a great superiority of force, the insurgents of Circassia and Abchasia. The contest, as it has. hitherto been carried -on, was evidently too much protracted; -and cost the Russians too much blood with out indemnifying them by a corresponding advantage. They have; indeed, always been victorious in the summer in this sanguinary warfare, but regularly lost every winter, by surprise, several of the forts erected in the extreme line of operations; and, at the opening of every new cam paign they have had to employ much time and labour to recover what they already possessed the year before. The Russians have undoubtedly confined the moun taineerp within narrow limits, yet competent judges are of opinion that if the same system of operations were con tinued the war might last many years more. Two circum stances are supposed to have led to the resolution to en deavour to end the war at once, by -the employment of great masses of troops—the state of affairs in South Asia and the death of Guz-Bey, the most dangerous of the Circassian chiefs. . Russia certainly cannot be an indifferent spectator of the events that are preparing in Central Asia, and yet all its enterprises in that quarter are paralysed, as long as it has an enemy always in readiness fur action in the Caucasus. Guz-Bey, who indeed was the most enterprising of all the princes of the mountains, and the two present chiefs, Mansor and Tscharung, are said to be at variance, so that there seems to be a favourable opportunity to subdue, to which the religious animosity of the Christian and Mabortedan tribes may contribute. Travellers from South Russia say that there is a great movement of troops, and all arc confident of success, especially be cause Czernitchoff, tha Russian Blucher, is at the head, and Grabioe, who is thoroughly acquainted with the grand community undar him. Nevertheless, the issue is pro blematical, for in such contests all calculations may be defeated by the slightest unforseen accident, as hap pened in Perow ski's ominous expedition. Meantime, to prevent the mountaineers from receiving any supplies of arms and ammunition, Russian ships strictly blockade the whole coast, from k;inops (the seat of the English agents) to Anapa, Ickaterinedar, Kaw, Karskaja, and . Stivoropol, on the right bank of the Kubaw. The Leglarans, on the right bank of the Terek, are no longer dreaded, but the Abcharians are said to have collected in the neighbourhood of Sochunkule. Per haps the Russians may succeed by skilfully taking ad vantage- of the ground, in isolating some of the tribes, and then - they will have the game in their hands. DUTCH FUNDS.—AusTErwate, JuNz 17.

The daily increasmg sufferings of the people, the har rowing details of which are given in every page of our present number, cannot much longer be left without a remedy. Parliament is dragging on apparently in utter forgetfulness that multitudes are perishing for want of food. The Premier has already hinted at a prorogation. This must nut be allowed without another, and a stre nuous effort to bring the Legislature to a sense of its duty. What is to be done ? The Council of the League have resolved upon calliuo a Sp..ial General Meeting of Deputies, to be held in London immediately. The day fixed upon is Monday, the 27th June—the place of meet ing, Brown's Hotel, Palace yard. To this step we have been urged, not only by the necessity of the case, but by numerous and pressing communications from our friends in all parts of the country. We, therefore, earnestly entreat all the Anti- Corn-law Associations, and every friend of free trade throughout the king4ei to be prompt and energetic in rendering their supp<irt. , ..p, phi i movement, and in ap pointing deputies to the meeting. The canntry.cannot brook the delay of eight.. montlik. which --mist elapse before another session of the fegkippre. The question of free trade in food must—shall be rg ! opened .:before Parliament separates. The peace of thc-pountry go, quires it. The lives and interests of millionklare trenib- , ling in the balance—it is fur our friends to say. which way the beam shall incline.—Anti-Bread Tax Gimular. TRUE BLUE.—Our contemporary, the Journal, said, 44 The election will, in all probability, take place next week, and as we have no doubt of Mr. Walter's triumphant return, we have made arrangements for printing that number of 'eur Journal with BLUE ink." The writ will not be issued at pre sent. The Witnesses' Indemnity Bill is passed, and the Parlia mentary committee of inquiry will now, we suppose, call the parties before them ; the bond, the consideration, the terms on which the representation of the town was attempted to be sold, will now see day light, and we shall rejoice in the exposure. The Journal's BLUE ink will, we verily believe, be dried up before he has the opportunity of using it to celebrate Mr. Wal ter's return for Nottingham, and whenever, t the election takes place tie Journal will look blue enough, without blue ink, or we are greatly mistaken. The feeling in favour of Mr. Sturge, both in the town and the country villages, is highly satisfactory. —Nottingham Review. TELLERS. Berkeley, Hon. O.—Gloucestersh Berkeley, Hon. C.—Cheltenh to .

LIGHT HOUSES ON THE COAST OF SWEDEN. Swedish and Norwegian General Consulate, 17, St. Helen's-place, June 18, 1842. _ _ Sir,-1 beg leave to inform you that the Royal Navy Board at Stockholm, by ordinance, bearing date the 15th April, 1842, has commanded that the following alterations be made in the under-mentioned light-houses on the coast of Sweden. Ist. Falsterba Light-house is intended to be changed, from an open coal light, as at present, to a Lentille light of the se cond class, with stationary flame ; in consequence whereof, the tower will undergo considerable alterations, to be commenced as soon as possible this year; during which time, and until the new light can be exhibited, which is expected to take place on the Ist of July, 1843, the light will be maintained by means of a large lantern, to be fixed as high as possible upon the tower, but which cannot, however, be expected to equal in intensity the power of the former coal light. 2d. The Kullen Lighthouse will likewise be altered to a Lentille light of the second class, with stationary flame, and its tower will consequently partly be pulled down and rebuilt. During the time occupied in the repairs, which will be com menced during the present year, the new fight will be removed from the tower to a rock situated close thereto, of nearly equal height, after which the coal light will for the present be maintained. 3d. In consequence of his Majesty's gracious commands, it is intended to commence this year the erection of a light house, seventy feet high, at Momps Tange, one mile north of the town of Falkenburg, and on the coast of Holland, in the Cattegat, where a revolving light will be placed, which, how ever, with regard to the time occupied in making the revolu• tion, and in the intensity of the light, will be quite different to .the light announced to .be exhibited at Anhalt on the 24th of March this year. 4th. During the present year the coal ;light at Svart Klub, near the Sea of Aland, will be changed to a stationary lamp, having eclipses at intervals. During the time required for the alterations and repairs of the tower, the light will be main tairvd by means of a lantern. sth. The time when the above alterations are completed will, in due course, be made public. I have the honour to be,•Sir, your most obedient servant, To the Secretary, Lloyd's. CHARLES TOTTIE. J UNE 20, '1842. ~ +~~r. BURNING ALIVE ON RAILROADS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Sir,—Having gradually got into this little con troversy respecting the burning human beings alive on the railroads, I must beg leave, preparatory to the introduction of the Bill, to say a few words more upon the subject.. If I could have my will in these matters, I would introduce into the Bill a clause absolutely prohibitory of all locking doors on railroads ; but as that fasci nating board, the Board of Trade, does not love this, and as the public may, after some repetitions of roasted humanity, be better prepared for such peremp tory legislation, the better method, perhaps, will be to give to the Board of Trade the power of opening doors (one or both), with the customary penalties against the Companies for disobedience of orders, and then the Board may use this power as the occasion may require. To pass a one-legged law, giving power over one door and not the other, would, per haps, be too absurd for human endurance. If railroad companies were aware of their real and extended interests, they would not harass the public by.vexatious regulations, nor, under the plea of hu manity (though really for purposes of economy) ex pose them to serious peril. The country are very angry with themselves for having granted the mono poly, and very angry for the instances of carelessness and oppression which have appeared in the working of the system; the heaviest fines are inflicted by co roners' juries, the heaviest damages are given by common juries. Railroads have daily proofs of their unpopularity. If Parliament get out of temper with these metallic ways, they will visit them with laws of iron, and burst upon them with the high pressure of despotism. The wayfaring men of the north will league with the wayfaring men of the west ; south and east will join hand in hand against them. All the points of the compass will combine against these venders of velocity and traders in transition. I hope a clause will be introduced, compelling the Board of Trade to report twice a year to Parliament upon the accidents of railroads, their causes, and their prevention. The public know little or nothing of what really happens on the rail. All the men with letters upon the collars of their coats are sworn to secrecy—nothing can be extracted from them; when any thing happens they neither appear to see ner hear you. In case of conflagration you would be to them as so many joints on the spit. It has occurred to 500 persons that soft . impedi- ments behind and before (such as wool) would prevent the dangers of meeting or overtaking. It is not yet understood why a carriage on fire at the end of the train cannot be seen by the driver of the engine. All this may be great nonsense ; but the public ought to know th v at these points have been properly consi dered ; they should know that there are a set of offi cers paid to watch over their interests, and to guard against the perpetual encroachments, the carelessness, the insolence, and the avarice 'of monopoly, Why do not our dear Ripon and our youthful Gladstone see this, and come cheerfully to the rescue ? and, instead of wrapping themselves up in transcendental philoso phy, and the principles of letting-aloneness, why do they not at once do what ought to be done—what must be done—and what, after many needless butche ries, they will at last be compelled to do P—Yours, SYDNEY SMITH. TRIAL IN CORSICA. The Court of Assizes of Corsica, was occupied, on the 27th and 28th ult., with the trial of a bandit named Antoine Leca, for a double murder, one com mitted in 1836, and the other during the presen[year. It appeared from the evidence that a vine-4.00r named Pierre Leca, when going to his viney4(l,...4t the commune of Arbora, with a person named Cam- . pana, was met by two men in masks, who each fired his gun, and shot him through the heart. Hi 3 compa nion was ordered to return home on the moment, and not dare to follow their footsteps. The noise of the shots brought to the spot some of the neighbours, and they saw the two men climbing a hill in front, and thought they recognised them to be two persons be longing to the adjoining commune of Ota, viz., Etienne Battini and Antoine Leca. The authorities sent out a party of gendarmes to Ota, where they ar rested the uncle of the murderers, it being stated that he had excited them to the commission of the crime. The murderers themselves were not taken. The uncle was tried shortly afterwards, but his counsel, whilst admitting that the prisoner had expressed a desire to see the deceased cudgelled, having declared that he had never contemplated their death, he was acquitted. After the murder in question, Antoine Leca and Battini became brigands, and remained out in the mountains for six years following that occupation. A short time since information was given to the gendarmerie that the former was at that time in a certain district called Monte Maggiore. A party set out in consequence, and after some search they perceived asleep in a shepherd's hut a man well armed, and holding his double-barrelled gun between his legs ready for action. They were in hopes of seizing him without any resistance, when the shrill voice of a child was heard to exclaim, " The gen darmes! the gendarmes !" and in an instant the man bounded up and rushed into the brushwood. A gen darme called on him to surrender, and was answered by a shot, from the effects of which the unfortunate gendarme fell dead. The others rushed up, and, after another shot which sent a ball through the bri gadier's hat, he was overpowered, in consequence of having broken his leg in jumping from a rock in his flight. He had lost his ramrod in the early part of the contest, which prevented his re-loading his gun. When placed at the bar, he was lame from the effect of his wound. His appearance was prepossessing, his forehead being high and broad, and his features well formed and of mild expression. He asserted his innocence, but the evidence of his guilt being con clusive, he was found gui!ty, and sentenced to hard labour for life at the hulks. OFFICIAL RETURNS RELATIVE TO TEA.

Nothing can be prettier than the approach to the Duke's lodge; and the en trance to the demesne, through a deep dell, dark with magni ficent furs, from which we emerge into a finely-wooded park, of the richest verdure, is also sulking and impressive. But the distinctive feature of the place (for the mansion, merely a comfortable and convenient nobleman's house, hardly responds to the fame of its owner) is the grand avenue of noble elms, three-quarters of a mile long, which leads to the front door. It is difficult .to imagine anything which more completely realises the poetic fancy, that the pillars and arches of a Gothic cathedral were borrowed from the interlacing of the branches of trees planted at stated inter vals, than this avenue, in which Nature has so completely suc ceeded in outrivalling her handmaiden Art, that not a single trunk, hardly even a bough or a twig, appears to mar the grand regularity of the design as a piece of perspective. No cathedral aisle was ever more perfect; and the effect, under every variety of aspect, the magical light and shadow of the cqld white moon shine, the cool green-light of a cloudy day, and the glancing sunbeams which pierce through the leafy umbrage in the bright summer noon, are such as no words can convey. Separately considered, each tree (and the north of Hampshire is celebrated for the size and shape of its elms) is a model of stately growth, and they are just at perfection, probably about a hundred and thirty years old. There is scarcely, perhais, in the kingdom such another avenue, PRESENTATION OF A GOLD MEDAL TO DR• DALTON:— On Thursday evening last, at the Manchester Literary and Phil os ophical Snciety'si rooms, George-street, a gold medal was presented by Mr. George Faulkner, on behalf of the proprietor of Braishaw's Journal, to our venerated and distinguished Owns :Isiah ki3r.

HAMPSHIRE.-- . -The hay harvest in the neighbourhood, is now almost concluded, and the weather for heat and sunshine could not hare been more propitious. The crop of barley, turnips, &c., would, however, be much improved by some genial showers, the want of which, in fields and gardens near this town, ivlearly to be ob served. 'Whilst almost all the villagei near have been favoured with rain, there has not been sufficient in this quarter to lay the dust upon the roads. We have heard the rain fell in such torrents at Hippenscomb that a piece of wheat belonging to W. Gilbert, Esq., was nearly swept away by the force of the water.—Hampshire Independent. CARLISLE.—The weather continues dry and warm, and the farmers complain loudly of want of rain. Grass lands are suffering from the effects of the continued drought—being dry and sickly-looking. Wheats, how ever, are taking no harm. The hay harvest has already commenced in the neighbourhood ; the crop will be very thin this year.— Carlisle Journal. KENDAL.—Crops are beginning to suffer much from drought, and if rain does not soon come, the operations of the speculators in grain will be greatly assisted by the increased anticipations of a short yield of wheat at the coming harvest.—Kendal Mercury. SOUTH WALES.—The crops are not over-promising, and a degree of poverty—partly brought by successive, bad crops—which can scarcely be worse or more appa rent, is very gcneral among the farmers in this part of he kingdom. - Carna)von SETT — LE.—On Monday afternoon Settle was visited by a violent thundar-storm, accompanied by slight showers. Two valuable horses, the property of Mr. Yeaden. corn and flour factor, were struck by a flash of lightning, which killed them on the spot ; yet, singular to relate, on exa mination of their bodies not a single hair appeared to be singed, neither was there other mark or token of the fearful visitation. Hay-making is now general through out this district, and the crops, on the whole, have ex ceeded an average. Every description of grain presents a favourable appearande, though on some of the high or chalky soils more rain would be very desirable.—Lan caster Guardian. The hay harvest has commenced, and tho cutting is becoming general. In consequence of the dry and sultry weather, the produce is, in some parts, slight ; yet, upon the whole, it may be considered an average yield. The corn crops are advancing towards maturity most favour ably ; and, if they still continue to progress as they have hitherto done, an abundant and early harvest will gladden the hearts of the farmers. Rain, however, is much needed, the earth being in many places almost scorched, from the powerful influence of the sun.—Carnarvon and Denbigh Herald. DESTRUCTION OF THE CITY OF CAPE HAYTIEN. " The city is remarkably beautiful, and must have been, during its glory, the most agreeable residence in the Western Archipelago_"—lVlAcKENzta, Consul-General in Hayti, 1828. The city of Cape Haytien, which, together with its vast population, according to the American accounts lately received, has been almost totally destroyed by an earthquake, is the capital of the island and republic of Hayti, and lies in lon. 72 deg. 16 min. W., lat. 19 deg. 46 min. N. - Of this city, which was once the capital of the "Queen of the Antilles," which was ' also the most fruitful spot upon earth, beautiful as regarded its position, and forming an abode the most delightful in the west, it beComes us now to speak of and to particularise as of those -things which " are not," seeing that all trace of it has been swept away from the spot which it occupied. This town was founded in 1760, but was burnt in 1792 by the blacks : it was the last town retained by the French in the island, but was surrendered by them to the blacks in 1803, when it became the capital of 4..t.he black emperor, Henry Christophe. At the period nteee.4ent to this, when it suffered so severely by in- TeStinOppnvulsions, it contained a number of elegant buildin, about 900 houses of stone and brick, and a population of about 12,000 ; some said, at that period, the population was 20,000, 12,000 being slaves. Charles Mackenzie, however, who was for some years her Majesty's Consul-General ip Hayti, states, we find on reference to his book, that the population of Cape Haytien was 38,566. He states this calculation to have been derived from an American paper, pub lished at the time that emigration of the black and coloured population from the Continent to Hayti was zealously promoted, for the purposes of increasing the resources of the republic, and it being a Government statement, he thinks it every way worthy of credit. The city of Cape Haytien was situated on the north coast of St. Domingo, and was built at the base of a mountain, called Morne du Cap, which screened it from the north and the west. it had a variety of designations at different periods of its his tory : first of Cabo Santo; then, under the French, of Cap Francais Cap Republicain, Cap Henri ; and, finally, that which it bore at the time of its destruc tion, that of Cap Haytien : though the Spaniards still give it the aboriginal name of Guarico. Built on a cape, at the edge of a large plain, 60 miles long and 12 broad, between the sea and the moun tains, it possessed large, well-wateied, and well-culti vated tracts. The central plain, which was the most fruitful part, was cut through by straight roads, 40 feet broad, lined with hedges of lime and lemon trees, leading to plantations which produced as great a quantity of sugar as any spot of the same size in the world. There were two roads which led to Cape Ilaytien, or as it was commonly called the Cape : one by Ennery, the other by Plaisance, over a steep mountain, and called, from its steepness. L'Escalier, the pre cipices overhung by it strongly resembling the Corral in Madeira. Theitroad over it was paved, and was constructed by"fabhick colonel, named Thomas 'MIL rocher, a native of one of , the . colonies, "but 'theft ; called an Englishrritt: y , On the summit of il - ie'nifnintain, atWliO4.l;die the town lay, a signal post was graced for announcing the approach of vessels.. The harbour extended to the east and south, and formed a bay, at the bottom of which was the small town of Petite Anse, having spacious and well-paved streets, with houses built chiefly of stone, and disposed in handsome squares, large markets, and fountains with copious supplies of water. Among its public buildings the town of Cape llaytien possessed many of great note. The de fences towards the sea were strong and respectable, and had been much attended to by Toussaint, Dessa fines, and Christophe. The arsenal was built in the reign of Louis XV., whose initials appeared over the gate and windows. The church was handsome, though in 1828 it was greatly ruined. The theatre, the College of the Jesuits, the Government House, and two convents, of very considerable extent, were also fine structures. The town of Cape Ilaytien, if it have suffered in former times, it appears to have been chiefly by fires. Before the revolution it was seven times seriously injured by the flames, and twice (if not oftener) it has been since nearly laid in ruins. It was the seat of Government not onl y under the French, but also under Toussaint and Christophe, and though, in that respect, it at the recent moment held only a secondary rank, yet in political importance and extent of trade it was little inferior to the capital. The inhabitants consisted of the same classes as those of the other towns of Ilayti, but they were generally accounted more accessible to strangers, better informed, and blending more cordially among themselves. Their veneration for Christophe was great : they emphatically called him " fhomme," or " le roi." At the entrance of the town there was a public walk planted with rows of trees, called " La Fossette " at one corner of which was,the small burying-ground to which Toussaint - Is said to have looked With much anxiety, as the 'deStined asyluM of Le Clere's army. At another 'Spat; Was' a . "small , theattei which . Chris tophe'eaused to bo , oreeted-4O , some incredibly-short time: by -•,r,ome ,Gersoan- ,, artiacers, to prove how promptly his commands could be realized. On the road to Limbe were two handsome residences of stone, one occupied by an English merchant, and the other was, in the time of Christophe, a sort of club house for foreigners. llayti means, in the vernacular, " the mountainous," and is the Indian name of St. Domingo—the one of the Antilles to which Columbus, on discovery, gave the name of Espanola, or Hispaniola. (Little Spain), but which, by the trench and English, has been commonly called St. Domingo, from its capital. We have before observed that the town was well fortified ; indeed, towards the sea the ramparts were very commanding, and were mounted with guns of large calibre.. A military force of about 5,000 men was kept up here, part of which garrisoned in the city, in the barracks, and the other divisions in sta tions on the plains. At no great distance were those two stupenduous works of Christophe—his palace of Sans Souci, and the citadel Henry, or Fort Ferrier. Speaking of this part of the world—the most salu brious portion of the Antilles—Robertson says, " In this delightful tract of country, nature seemed to as sume another form ; every tree, plant, and form, so differed from the ancient hemisphere, that Colum bus boasted of having discovered the original seat of Paradise." The Abbe Raynal grew equally eloquent on be holding these pleasibt regions ; and the delighful ac counts which are to he met with - in every writer, on their salubrity, loveliness, and climate, only render more gloomy to the imagination, the dreadful event which has just shrouded them in darkness and ruin. The Constitucional of Barcelona, of the Bth instant says :—" The Municipal Council addressed on the 21st ult. to the Cortes a protest against the Bill relating to the organization of the municipalities, as well as against that concerning provin cialand the o th er though icith great, cilmn. deputations. Felippo, who some time ago made en at tempt against the Government at Urdax with 60 men, has now a band of 200 under his command. Recently two soldiers were killed in an encounter with this body, and ten were disarmed. While three men were employed on Sunday last, at Rouen, emptying a cesspool, they inadvertently let a pail fall 0 the bottom. They all three scent down successively, the first to recover the pail, t wo to save their com rades, and were all deprived of t ei l r mi s r en of se l s iis l y sead, e an m d e ctr vapour.

Much discussion is going on, at present, in the commercial circles of France, and England, and Bel gium, as to the proposed duty to be put upon linen yarns imported into France. The English press and the Belgian, we think, are right in their views ; we consider the imposition of the duty a very unwise. measure as regards France, and we are led to this comclusion by two reasons. 1. If the duty be imposed, it is a general tax upon all France, for the benefit of some few manufacturers. Is it right to tax a whole people for the benefit of a few ? We say no, especially when it is considered who thoie few are. No person will deny that they of fo w are almost all foreigners; m en w h o b e gan the st speculation with their ey es open ,— w ith a full haveto knowledge o contend fthe against; n law and ; w to carry on their trade a n d no t na ti ves , excluding prod it thereby from national ein ha p t lo t y they foreigners would uctions and the protection national producti ons , ex t e n s i ve l y grown or manufactured, and employing thousands, may have some claim to ; men who Have embarked in the spe culation for self-interest, not caring one sous or giving one thought to France, or any benefit the country in general may derive from their speculation. Now, are such men or their speculations of such importance as to merit the particular consideration of a foreign State to that degree that the whole population of a country, 34 millions, are to be taxed 20 per cent., that they should grow rich and drink champagne, and drive their carriages, at the expense of rich and poor, through the length and breadth of the land ? We say no. These opinions may be unpalatable to many in this town who have thrown their money into the concern at Capecure. But we see no reason why, we, and all the country should be obliged to pay 20 per cent. more for our sheets, table cloths, and linen, that these foreigners in the land should be paid 6 or. 10 per cent. for their capital in the speculatiOn. It is in our humble idea unjust to the nation at large. Had the duty been lowered after the enterprise was com menced, and disappointments and losses been the re ; suit, we should have been silent. But we do not think, because speculators have formed bad calcula tions and knew but little of the expenses or profits arising from the trade into which they sanguinely, and without due consideration, threw their capital, that, therefore, the whole nation are to be 'taxed for their benefit. We lay aside the political considera tions attached to the question, reprisals of foreign countries, higher duties put on French industry, heart burnings, discontent, &c., with these we have nothing to do. We look on it as a purely domestic question, and in that point of view only do We treat it ; every thinking mind will soon see it in all its .bearings. 2. The second point in which we consider it of immensee - importance is that of the loss of duty which must follow. The diminution of the revenue must be great. In 1840 no less than 13,137,368 pounds of linen yarns were exported to France from England alone ; what were imported from Belgitun we have no means of stating ; no doubt it was one half of that from England, else the Belgian Chambers would not be so roused, as it will be seen they .were by the extract we give below from the debates. Any person, then, the least acquainted with the subject, by mul tiplying these number of pounds by the duty at pre-, sent levied, will see the loss the Customs of the country will sustain. But that is not all, not only will the re venue suffer, but all who are engaged at the ports as commission agents, and workmen ; all engaged in transporting the merchandise inland, and the thousands benefited by . the employ that this thread has created. Almost all these are Frenchmen, to them a fruitful source of industry w ill b e dried up and employment taken from them to benefit wild speculation. Now, we maintain, of course with all due deferenee to wiser heads, that the above c onsiderations should induce a wise Government to' pause ere they taxed a whole ; people, and took the bread out of the mouths of thousands, merely to benefit a few foreigners who have been so foolish as to speculate in under takings which have proved unprofitable. W e consider it very unwise to ransack the annals of a country and go back nearly two hundred years, when the spirit of c ommercial prosperity was totally unknown, to defend a measure similar to what we now notice. Suppose England, in order to pro -tect Bettis .patent brandy, a nd Taylor's gooseberry "nine, was to place an extra duty of 20 per cent. on Wench brandy. and . wine , what would be th e exclama tionS on this side of the Channel ? England has not done Afis.;- on the new tariff Sir Robert Peel has considetAt diminished the duty on boots, shoes, gloves, silks, - trinkets, and various objects of art, all in favour of Fretieh man ufacturers_; is th e proposed 20 per cent. a return of gratitude? Nations can reta liate ; but God forbid that, to please som e eight or ten foreign speculators who have settled in France, the present good understanding existing between the two countries should suffer the least diminution.—Boulogne Gazette.

Apart from all, on a ragged that, and chewing, his betel in gloomy abstraction, sat a Wandering Tope, air ro ligious mendicant ; his attenuated, form, proudly erect * powdered over with sacred ashes4nd displaying unequi vocal marks of direful •penance. Heedless of the !busy throng that surrounded him, he 4420110 altogether ab•-• sorbed- in the contemplation of his deity ; the only fridi-- teflon he gave of existence being by the sound of a little! brazen gong suspended from his wrist, which he ocea- Sionally struck with a bar of the same metal ; mtatering, at the same time, some unintelligible sounds, which the ignorant mistook for the inspirations of his god. Before the venerable man, in an attitude of defermee and profound attention, stood a youth, whose handsome features and elegant form might serve as a model fat a. statuary. With an anxious and iraplotino• look he gaze' on the grim visage of the sage, as if watching an oppor tunity to commun i ca t e some important intelligence, or to prefer some humble suit, through his intercession, to the deity. It was long, however, before the imperturbable features of the Yogie relaxed from the celestial reverie in which he was absorbed ; but he did at length bestow something like a favouring smile on his attentive votary, who eagerly seized the auspicious moment, and, bending his knee to the ground, addressed the favoured of heave& in a deprecating voice as follows father ! may a sinful rover of the jung le crave tt • , boon at your sacred hand ?" No answer was returned to his humble request by the gloamy ascetic ; who, though apparently lost in pro found abstraction, was peering an x i ous ly 'from under his shaggy eyebrows at the supplicant, as if he sought.to penetrate the nature of his profession and the object of his wishes. Deign, venerable man," exclaimed the youth, by - grant my request, and read in my Nisib, whether good or evil still remains in the cup of my destiny." The sage stretched forth his withered arm towards the brow of rite youth, and drawing the skin of his forehead into wrinkles, with his long scraggy fingers, affected to read therein the will of fate. " The horses and camels are at hand,".the Yogie at length, after a long pause, exclaimed, in oracular accents, and the Bheels skulk in the desert." " Holy father !" cried the youth, somewhat impa tiently, " all this I know ; but I would fain learn if it be the will of God that Lillab shall ever again return the lave of her adoring and forsaken'Vega." " Utah," replied the sage, in a hollow voice, "is fair as the morning sun, but false as the Seiraub of the desert." " Alas!" cried the youth, in plaintive accents, " your words, holy father, are true, though painful to my heart." " But the dagger of the betrayed," said the Yogic., " shall drink the heart's blood of the traitress." • May Doorga forbid!" hastily exclaimed the youth, with a shudder of horror. " The hand of Vega never could deface the perfection of nature's handiwork." " And the matchlock of the rival," continued the sage. " shall penetrate the brain of the slayer." " Alas, holy father !" cried Vega, bile perspiration hung in profu s e d ro p s on hi s ag i ta t e d forehead; " this is a fearful destiny you reveal to my terrified soul ; but tell me, I implore you—" " Seek no further," replied the Yogie, sternly, " I lift the veil of fate—the hour of destiny approaches—the hand of death is raised, but the victim is ready, and his blot at shall sprinkle the doomed land of the destroyer—" The youth gazed with mingled awe and curiosity on the mysterious expounder of (.14 stiny, whose hitherto immovable frame was now strongly agitated by contend ing emotions, as he poured forth his dark oracular say ings. In a supplicating voice Vega again besought his attention, but the Yogie, waving his hand, sternly ex. &tithed : " Begone ! child of a devoted race ! Begone.! for the battle is at hand ! Bark ! hear you not the neighing of their steeds, and the ringing of the hollow turf beneath their iron tread? Hear you not the brazen blast of the trumpet as it booms on the dying breeze? Dullard, be gone ; and tell thy ruthless Chief to seek a better scout than thee." The youth sprang to his feet, and threw himself into a listening attitude, as if he sought to catch the sounds which had apparently already reached the ears of tho sage. - Suddenly he gave a start of joy, and putting his bent finger into his mouth, he poured forth a whistle so loud and shrill that every inmate of the Durrumsalla turned hastily to see whence it came. Then with a bound as light and active as the antelope when flushed in his covert by. the Cheeta, the love-sick Vega sprang through the gateway of the building, and disappeared amidst the surrounding foliage.—From 44 Savindroog," in the Me iropclitan Mugaztne. BUDE LIGHT IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.—The report of the Committee of the House of Common', on the Bude-light, has just been printed. It appears that Mr. Gurney has been constantly engaged in the service of the House since the early part of 1839 to the present time with out any remuneration, this question having been by him agreed to be left to a vote of the Ilouse, and that his new light, which is termed the atmospheric Bude-light, and which the report describes to be " a cheap, beautiful, and effective system of lighting," is r.ow used in every part of the present House of Commons and offices, and is recommended by the Committee to be aprlied to the future houses of Parliament. The Committee called before them some of the most scientific men of the day. nho added their "conclusive evidence" as to the practical success of Mr. Gurney's plan, and this not merely with respect to the Houses of Parliament, but with respect to large build ings and churches now lighted by the system in London and elsewhere. As to the expense, the Committee report that "the saving during the time that Mr. Gunsey's present plan has been in operation, has been at the rate of 4841. 9s. per annum ; but this affords no measure of the saving which will accrue if Mr. Gurney's sys tem be applied to ail the Parliamentary buildings. As to the general saving effected by the use of the atmospheric Bade-light; as compared with aov other plan, Dr. Ure con- sidered it. to be one half, Professor Wheatstone latlierless than one half, Mr. Gurney 46 to 48 per cent., and the lowest esti mate that of Dr. Arnet, plaeett it c in the ratio of Bto 5." There is some interesting evidehte respecting Mr. Gurney's light at the crossing in Waterloo-place. It appears that the expense of the light in WaterloNt!ace is about 6d. re, hour, the Rower of it, by., the, nrasttrentent of scientific men, beinr , equal. to lot tY-tive common street lamps. It is stated that the apparatai..necessar'y fir the lamp and for purifying the gp, is very simple and inexpensive. '1 he evidence gives the compa l'aiive,eost of light from different sources, the price of each ,being taken from the average of the last two years, whence it apt ears that the atmospheric Bude-light is one half cheaper than gas, more than two.thirds cheaper than common oil ; that it is one-fifth the cost of sperm oil, ore-ninth that of corn. position candles, and one-eleventh that of wax. As to the com parative quantity of heat given by the different lights used for domestic purposes, it is stated that the heat from the atmos pheric Rude is less than that from oil, and lees than half that from coal gas. The whole of the evidence is exceedingly in- teresting. - HER AJESTY'S TiIEITRE.—TIO Ariaite Of Mhos.

A YOUNG LADY THROWN PROM TIER HORSE.— About four o'clock on Friday afternoon, as a young lady, named Vincent, aged 19, residing with her aunt in Baker street, Portman-square, was taking an afternoon's airing on horseback in Park-lane, the animal suddenly took fright and set off at such a furious pace, that, after proceeding about a dozen yards, Miss Vincent was thrown from her seat into the road with great violence. She was immediately placed in the carriage of a gentleman who was riding past at the time, and conveyed, in a state of insensibility, to the nearest surgeon".
