THE progress of Merit, although frequently assailed, is not impeded by Envy and Detraction. The aggression of Ambuscade terminates in Defeat—and conscious Rectitude ultimately triumphs in the attainment of the grand Object—Public Approbation. The test of Experience is the guarantee of Favour, and has Established WARREN'S BLACKING in general Estimation, of which there exists not a stronger proof than the tacit acknowledgment of a host of servile imitators, who surreptitiously obtrude on the unwary a spurious Preparation as the genuine Article, to the great dis appointment of the unguarded Purchaser, and manifest injury of Warren, whose character and interest by this iniquitous system are equally subject to detriment. It becomes therefore an indispensable duty to CAUTION the PUBLIC against the manoeuvres of Unprincipled Venders, who, having no charac ter to lose, and stimulated by avarice in their nefarious pur suits, aim at the acquisition of money through any medium than that of honour. The original and matchless Blacking bears on each Bottle a short direction, with the signature— RO BEILT WARREN. All others are Counterfeits ; and in many instances the im position labels are artfully interlined with a different Address, in very small characters, between the more conspicuous ones of " No. 30," and " STRAND." It is earnestly recommended to Shopkeepers and others who are deceived by base Fabrica tions of Warren's Blacking, to return the detected Trash to the source whence it came, and expose the machinations of rascality to merited obloquy. Warren's Blacking is surprisingly brilliant : it excludes damp, gives pliancy to the leather, retains its pristine virtue in all climates, and, combining elegance with comfort, is an article equally of indispensable fashion and utility. Sold by every respectable Vender in Town and Country, in bottles, at Gd, 10d, 12d, and 18d, each. ARABIAN HORSES.—The Arabian horses are di vided into two great branches, the Kodischi, whose descent is unknown, and the Kochlaid, of whom a written geneology has been kept for 2,000 years. These last are reserved for riding only ; they are highly esteemed, and consequently very dear; they are said to derive their origin from King Solomon's studs; however this may be, they are fit to bear the greatest fatigues, and can pass whole days without food; they are said also to shew wonderful courage against an enemy ; it is even asserted that when a horse of this race finds himself wounded, and unable to bear his rider much longer, he retires from the fray, and conveys him to a place of security. If the rider falls upon the ground, his horse remains beside him, and neighs till assistance is brought. The Kochlani are neither large nor handsome, but amazingly swift ; the whole race is divided into several, families, each of which has its proper name. — Some of these have a higher reputation than others, on account of their more ancient and un contaminated nobility.—(Nllinuna.) COFFEE.—The description of this plant, as given by OLEARIUS, is entertaining.—" They drink a certain black water, which they call cahwa,made of a fruit brought out of Egypt, and which is in colour like ordinary wheat, and in taste like Turkish wheat,and is of the bigness of a little bean. They fry, or rather burn it in an iron pan, with out any liquor, beat it to powder, and boiling it with fair water, they make this drink thereof, which has, as it were, the taste of a burnt crust, and is not pleasant to the. palate." SLAVE TRADE We extract from the New York Mercantile Advertiser of the Ist instant, the fallowing con vention, to which we alluded in our Paper of yesterday. Congress adjourned on the 29th of May (after a session of nearly six months) to the first Monday in December : " The United States of America, and his Majesty the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, beini; desirous to co-operate for the complete suppression of the Afri can Slave Trade, by making the law of piracy, as applied to that traffic under the statutes of their respective legislatures, immediately and reciprocally operative on the vessels and sub jects, or citizens, of each other, have respectively appointed their Plenipotentiaries to negociate and conclude a convention for that Purpose—that is to say, on the part of the United States of America, Richard Rush, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from those States to the Court of his Majesty; and, on the part of hiS Britannic Majesty, the Right Honourable William Iluskissolf+ a Member of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Counci), President of the Committee of Privy Council for Affairs of Trade and Foreign Plantations, Treasurer of his Majesty's Navy, and a Member of the Parlia ment of the United Kingdom ; and the Right Honourable Stratford Canning, a Member of his said Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, and his Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States of Ame rica ; which Plenipotentiaries, after 'duly communicating to each other their respective full powers, found to be in pro per form, have agreed upon, and concluded the following ar ticles " Art. 1. The commanders and commissioned officers of each of the two high contracting parties, duly authorized, under the regulations and instructions of their respective Governments, to cruise on the coasts of 'Africa, of America, and of the West Indies, for the suppression of the Slave Trade, shall be em powered, under the conditions, limitations, and restrictions, hereinafter specified, to detain, examine, capture, and deliver over for trial and adjudication, by some competent tribunal of whichever of the two countries it shall be found, on examina- tion, to belong to, any ship or vessel concerned in the illicit traffic of slaves, and carrying the flag of the other, or owned by any subjects or citizens of either of the two Contracting Parties, except when in the presence of a ship of war of its own nation : and it is further agreed, that any such ship or vessel, so cap tured, shall be either carried, or sent by the capturing officer, to some port of the country to which it belongs, and there given up to the competent authorities, or be delivered up for the same purpose to any duly commissioned officer of the other party ; it being the intention of the high Contracting Powers, that any ship or vessel within the purview of this convention, and seized on that account, shall be tried and adjudged by the tribunals of the captured party, and not by those of the captor. " Art. 2. In the case of any ship or vessel detained under this convention, by the cruisers of either of the two contract ing parties, on suspicion of carrying on the Slave Trade, being found, on due examination by the boarding officer, to be char tered on account of any of the subjects or citizen of the other party, although not actually bearing the flag of that party, nor owned by the individuals on whose account she is chartered, or by any other citizens or subjects of the same nation ; it is here by agreed that, in such case also, upon the delivery of the said vessel to the tribunals of that country to which the persons on whose account she is chartered, belong, the vessel, cargo, and crew, shall be proceeded against in like manner as any other vessel, cargo, and crew, within the purview of this conven tion, in so far as the general practice under the law of nations will allow. " Art. 3. Whenever any naval commander, or commis sioned officer of either of the two Contracting Powers, shall, on the high seas, or any where not within the exclusive ju risdiction of either party, board or cause to be boarded, any merchant vessel bearing the flag of the other power, and visit the same as a slave trader, or on suspicion of her being concern ed in the Slave Trade ; in every such case, whether the vessel so visited shall, or shall not, be captured and delivered over, or sent into the ports of her own country for trial and adjudica tion, the boarding officer shall deliver to the master or com mander of the visited vessel, a certificate, in writing, signed by the said hoarding officer, and specifying his rank in the navy of his country, together with the names of the commander by whose orders he is acting, and of the nation — al vessel commanded by him ; and the said certificate shall further contain a decla ration, purporting that the only object of the visit is to ascer tain whether the merchant vessel in question is engaged in the Slave Trade or not; and, if found to be so engaged, to take and deliver her to the officers or tribunals of her own country, being that of one of the two Contr a cting Parties, for trial and adjudication. In all such cases, the commander of the national vessel, whether belonging to Great Britain or to the United States, shall, when he makes delivery of his capture, either to the offi cers or to the tribunals of the other Power, d e liver all the papers found on board'the captured vessel, indicating her national cha racter, and the objects of her voyage, and together with them, a certificate as above of tile visit, signed with his name, and specifying his rank in the navy of his country, as well as the name of the vessel commanded by him, together with the name and professional rank of the boarding officer by whom the said visit has been made. This certificate shall also contain a list of all the papers received from the master of the vessel detained or visited, as well as those found on board the said vessel: it shall also contain an exact description of the state in which the vessel was found when detained, and a statement of the changes, if any, which have taken place in it, and of the number of slaves, if any, found on board at the moment of the detention. " Art. 4. Whenever any merchant vessel of either nation shall be visited under this convention, on suspicion of such vessel being engaged in the Slave Trade, no search shall, in any such case, be made on board the said vessel, except what is ne cessary for ascertaining, by due and sufficient proofs, whether she is or is not engaged in that illicit traffic. No person shall be taken out of the vessel so visited (though such reasonable restraints as may be indispensable for the detention and safe delivery of the vessel may be sued against the crew) by the commanding officer of the visiting vessel, or under his orders; nor shall any part of the cargo of the visited vessel be taken out of her, till after her delivery to the officers or tribunals of her own nation, excepting only when the removal of all, or a part of the slaves, if any, found on board the visited vessel, shall he indis pensable, either for the preservation of their lives, or from any other urgent consideration of humanity, or for the safety of the person charged with the navigation of the said vessel after her capture. And any of the slaves so removed shall he duly ac counted for to the Government of that country to which the visited vessel belongs, and shall be disposed of according to the laws of the country into which they are carried ; the regular bounty, or head-money, allowed by law, being in each in stance secured to the captors, for their use and behefit, by the receiving Government. " Art. 5. Whenever any merchant vessel of either nation shall be captured under this convention, it shall be the duty of the commander of any ship belonging to the public service of the other, charged with the instructions of his Government for carrying into execution the provisions of this -convention, at the requisition of the commander of the capturing vessel, to receive into his custody the vessel so captured, and to carry or send the same for trial and adjudication into some port of his own country, or its dependencies , In every such case, at the time of the delivery of the vessel, an authentic declaration shall be drawn up in triplicate, and signed by the commanders, both of the delivering and receiving vessels ; one copy signed by both to be kept by each of them, stating the circumstances of the delivery, the condition of the captured vessel at the time of the delivery, ineluding the names of her master or comman der, and of every other person, not a slave, on board at the time, and exhibiting the number of the slaves, if any, then on board her, and a list of all the papers received or found on board at the time of capture, and delivered over with her. The third copy of the said declaration shall be left in the captured vessel, with the papers found on board, to be produced before the tribunal charged with the adjudication of the capture-. And the commander of the cap. turning vessel shall be authorized to send any one of the officers under his command, and one or two of his crew, with the cap tured vessel, to appear before the competent tribunal, as wit nesses of the facts regarding her detention and capture ; the reasonable expences of which witnesses, in proceeding to the place of trial, during their detention there, and for their return to their own country, or to their station in its service, shall he allowed by the Court of Adjudication, and defrayed, in the event of the vessel being condemned, out of the proceeds of its sale ; in case of the acquittal of the vessel, the expences, as above specified, of those witnesses, shall be defrayed by the go iernment of the capturing Officer. " Art. 6. Whenever any capture shall be made, under this convention, by the officers of either of the Contracting Parties, and no national vessel of that country to which the captured vessel belongs is cruising on the same station where the capture takes place, the Commander of the capturing vessel shall, in such case, either carry or send his prize to some convenient port of its own country, or of any of its dependencies, where a ()cant of Vice -Admiralty has jurisdiction, and'there give it up to competent authorities, for trial and adjudication. The cap tured vessel shall then be liberated according to the practice of the Court taking cognizance of the case ; and, if condemned, the proceeds of the sale thereof, and its cargo, if also condemned, shall be paid to the Commander of the capturing vessel, for the benefit of the captors, to be distributed among them, according to the rules of their service respecting prize-money. Art. 7. The commander and crew of any vessel captured under this convention, and sent in for trial, shall be proceeded against conformably to the laws of the country whereunto they shall be brought as pirates engaged in the African Slave Trade; and it is further agreed, that any individual, being a citizen or subject of either of the two contracting parties,- who shall be found on board any vessel not carrying the flag of the other party, nor belonging to the subjects or citizens of either, but engaged in the illicit traffic of slaves, and lawfully seized on that account by the cruisers of the other party, or condemned under circum stances which, by involving such individual in the guilt of slave trading, would subject him to the penalties of piracy,he shall be sent fer trial before the competent Court in the ceyuntry to which he belongs ; and the reasonable expellees of any witnessgt be longing to the capturing vessel, in proceeding to the Bice of trial, during their detention there, and for their return to their own country, or to their station in its service, shall, in every such case, be allowed by the Court, and defrayed by the coun try in which the trial takes place; but every witness belonging to the capturing vessel shall, upon the criminal trial for piracy, be liable to be challenged by the accused person ; and set aside as incompetent, unless he shall release his claim to any part of the prize-money, upon the condemnation of the vessel and cargo. Art. 8. The right reciprocally conceded by the two Con tracting Powers, of visiting, capturing, and delivering over for trial, the merchant vessels of the other, engaged in die traffic of slaves, shall be exercised only by such commissioned officers of their respective navies as shall be furnished with instruc tions for executing the laws of their respective countries against the Slave Trade. For every vexatious and abusive exercise of this right, the boarding officer and the commander of the capturing or searching vessel shall, in each case, be person ally liable, in costs and damages, to the master and owners of any merchant vessel delivered over, detained, or visited by them, under the provisions of this convention. Whatever Court of Admiralty shall have cognizance of the cause, as regards the captured vessel, in each case the same Court shall be com petent to hear the complaint of the master or owners, or of any person -or persons on board the said vessel, or interested in the property of her cargo, at the time of her detention ; and , on due and 'sufficient proof being given to the court of any vexation and abuse having been practised during the search or deten tion of the said vessel, contrary to the provisions arid meaning of this Convention, to award reasonable costs and damages to the sufferers, to be paid by the commanding or boarding offi cer convicted of such misconduct. The Government of the party thus cast in damages and costs shall cause the amount of the same to be paid, in each instance, agreeable to the judg ment of the Courts, within twelve months from the date there of. In case of any such vexation and abuse occurring in the detention or search of a vessel detained under this Convention, and not afterwards delivered over for trial, the persons ag grieved, being such as were specified above, or any of them, shall be heard by any Court of Admiralty of the country of the captors, before which they make complaint thereof ; and the commanding and boarding officer of the detaining ves sel shall, in such instance, be liable as above in costs and damages to the complainants, according to the judgment of the court; and their Government shall equally cause payment of the same to be made within twelve months from the time when such judgment shall have been pronounced. " Art. 9. Copies of this Convention, and of the laws of both countries actually in force for the prohibition and Suppression' of the African Slave-trade, shall be furnished to every com mander of the national vessels of either party charged with the execution of those laws; and in case any such commanding officer shall be accused by either of the two Governments of having deviated in any respect from the provisions of this Con vention, and the instructions of his own Government in con formity thereto,, the Government to which such complaint shall be addressed agrees hereby to make inquiry into the circum stances of the case, and to inflict on the officer complained of, in the event of his appearing to deserve it, a punishment ade quate to his transgression. " Art. 10. The high contracting parties declare, that the right which, in the foregoing articles, they have each recipro cally conceded, of detaining, visiting, capturing, and deliver ing over for trial, the merchant vessels of the other engaged in the African Slave-trade, is wholly and exclusively grounded on the consideration of their havir , made that traffic piracy by their respective laws ; and further, that the reciprocal conces sion of the said right, as guarded, limited, and regulated by this convention, shall not be so construed as to authorize the detention or search of the mrxchant vessels of either nation by the officers of the navy of the other, except vessels engaged, or suspected of being engaged, in the African Slave-trade ; or for any other purpose whatever than that of seizing and delivering up the persons and vessels concerned in that traffic, for trial and adjudication, by the tribunals and laws of their own coun try ; nor be taken to affect, in any other way, the existing rights of either of the high contracting parties. And they do also hereby agree and engage to use their influence, respectively, with other maritime and civilized powers, to the end that the African slave-trade may be declared to be piracy under the law of nations. " Art. 11. The present convention, consisting of 11 articles, shall be ratified, and the ratifications exchanged at London, within the term of twelve months, or as much sooner as possible. " In witness whereof, the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the same, and have affixed thereunto the seals of their arms. " Done at London, the 13th day of March, in the year of our Lord 1824.

That the Senate do advise and consent to the ratifica tion of the convention made and concluded at London the 13th day of March, 1824, between the United States of America, and the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire land, with the exception of the words of America,' in line four, of the first article : with the exception of the second article; and of the following words in the seventh article—And it is further agreed, that any individual, being a citizen or subject of either of the two Contracting Parties, who shall be found on board any vessel not carrying the flag of the other party, nor be lorigingto the subjects or citizens of either, but engaged in the illicit traffic of slaves, andseized or condemned on that account by the cruisers of the other party, under circumstances which, by involving such individual in the guilt of Slave Trading, would subject him to the penalties of piracy, he shall be sent for trial before the competent Court in the country to which he be longs, and the reasonable expences of any witnesses belonging to the capturing vessel, in proceeding to the place of trial, during their detention there, and for their return to their own country, or to their station in its service, shall, in every such case, be allowed by the Court, and defrayed by the country in which the trial takes place.' Provided, That an article be add ed, whereby it shall be free to either of the parties at any time, to renounce the said convention, giving six months notice be fore-hand." It was observed by Captain FRANKLIN, that during the severe whiter they experienced near the Copper Mine River the fish froze as they were taken out of the nets. In a short time this became a solid mass of ice, and by a blow or t w o with the hatchet were easily split open. If in the completely frozen state they were thawed before the fire, they recovered their animation. This is a very remarkable instance of how com pletely animation can be suspended in cold blood-, ed animals. Captain F. states that a carp has recovered so as to leap about with much vigour, after being frozen thirty-six hours. The following account of this singular plant is extracted from Gemelli Carer,' :-- " As for the wax, it is the finest and whitest that may be had, though of bees, and there is such plenty as serves the whole empire. Several provinces produce it, but that of Huquam ex ceeds all the others as well in quantity as white ness. It is gathered in tlu province of Xantung, upon little trees ; but in that of nuquatn, upon large ones, as big as those of the Indian pagods, or chestnut trees, of Europe. The way nature has found to produce it, to us appears strango enough. There is ►n this province a creature or insect, of the bigness of a flea, so sharp at sting ing, that it not only pierces the skins of men and beasts, but tho boughs and bodies of trees. — Those of the prirrince of Xantung are much va lued, where the inhabitants gather their eggs from the trees, and carry them to sell in the pro vince of Huquam. In the spring, there come from these eggs certain worms, which, about the beginning of the summer, they place at the foot of the tree, whence they, creep up, spreading themselves wonderfully over all the branches. Having placed themselves there, they gnaw, pierce, and' bore tQ the very pith, and their nourishment they convert into wax, as white as snow, which they drive out to the mouth of the hole they have made, where it remains congealed in drops by the wind and cold. Here the owners of the trees gather it, and make it into cakes as we do, which are sold about China. —Do [IALDE says, however, that the worms fastens on the leaves of. the tree, and in a short time form combs of wax, mush smaller than the honey, comb. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, JUNE 28, The Lon]) CHANCELLOR was again occupied during the whole of the day with the exceptions to the Master's Report in the case Browne v. De Tastet—a case that has been long before the public. His Lordship intimated that he was to attend the Recorder's Report on Wednesday. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 28. QUO WARRANTO.-TIIE KING V. SOUTHEY. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL obtained a rule, calling upon the defendant to shew cause why an information in the nature of a quo warranto should not be filed against him, for exercising the privileges of a capital.burgess for the borough of East Lobe, in Cornwall. Their Lordships rose at one o'clock, and the Lord Chief Jus4 tice proceeded to try Common Jury causes at Nisi Prius, but no case of public interest occurred. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, .TUNE 28. The Court sat in Banco till half-past 12 o'clock, but up to that time no business of any interest came on. Lord Chief Justice BEST sat for the remainder of the day at Nisi Prins. 71USISELL V. HALLAM AND HOPE. This was an action by a widow, against Hallam, her land. lord, and Hope, a broker, for a trespass. It appeared that Hallam called for 1/. 13s. 4d., the rent of a room occupied by plaintiff. This was on the 7th of August. Plaintiff said her rent was not due till the Bth. Defendant Hallam called in the other defendant, and made a distress. The rent was paid, anti the action was afterwards brought for the trespass. It was proved that the rent was not due till the Bth. Mr. Sergeant VAUGHAN, for defendant Hallam, contended, that it was not a case where the plaintiff could sustain an action, as she was removing her goods in order to avoid paying the rent, when defendant stopped her. Hope, the other defendant, addressed the Jury for himself, and observed, that he had acted in the business by direction of Hallam ; but that he only prevented the removal of the goods, and did not distrain. The Jury gave a verdict against both defendants, 'damages 405.; but it was understood between Counsel that Hope should not be called upon to pay any thing. ARCHES COURT, MONDAY, JuNE 28, D ItirCE V. EIIiTCE. _ This was a suit instituted by Mary Anne Bruce, otherwise Butler, against Tobias Burke, otherwise Tobias Burke Bruce, for a nullity of marriage by reason of a former marriage; the husband in this case was tried and convicted of bigamy at the Old Bailey Sessions, and is now on board the hulks at Ports mouth. The first marriage took place in June 11115, and the parties cohabited together subsequently, the zesult of which was the birth of two children. . . . Dr. PICKARD, on behalf of the husband, made objections to the admissibility of the libel, on account of the too general terms of the charge relating to the former marriage, the birth and baptism of the children. Dr. LUSHINGTON and Dr. DODSON argued on behalf of the wife. Sir JOHN NICHOL, in delivering his judgment, observed that if the articles were of ,too general a nature, the defendat►t must be supposed to know the circumstances of the first mar riage much better e.an the party instituting this suit; and, therefore, he might, if he could, have contradicted the ,facts pleaded against him ; and as the admission of this allegation would only go so far as to bring forward all the evidence new cessary to the cause, he ordered it to be admitted accordingly. PREROGA/IVE COURT, JUNE 28. GRIFFITH, ATTORNEY OF GRIFFITH, V. LANE. This was a case arising on a testamentary paper written by the late Thomas Howard Griffith, Esq. (who, as our readers must recollect, was shot on the 23d of June, 1823, by his son Abel), and who died possessed of very considerable property, chiefly in the West Indies. An allegation was some time since given in by Mrs. Jane Brandford, a daughter of the deceased Thos. H. Griffith, pro- , pounding this testamentary paper, hut the Court then intimat ed that it should be more fully furnished with 'facts- it had therefore been Withdrawn, and was now brought 'forward again in a more lengthened state, comprising twenty articles. The allegation stated that the deceased having separated from his wife some time before 1809, went over to Barbadoes, taking with him his favourite daughter Jane, who afterwards married there with his entire approbation. In August, 1821, he left Barhadoes, and having just then had a slight dispute with his daughter Jane, he made anti duly executed a will not yarticu larly in her favour. He appears at differen t times to Nave dis agreed with most of his other children, Thomas, William, Charles, Daniel, Lucy, and Abel ; but after his return to Eng_ land he became reconciled to Mrs.l3randford, and her husband's affairs becoming embarrassed, he expressed a strong desire to do something for their relief. The allegation went on to plead a variety of verbal declarations by the deceased prior to the Bth of June, 1823, that he would make his will in favour of his daughter Jane anti her children, and after that day that he had done so, and there was good reason to believe that on the even ing of that day he actually wrote the paper in question. It was however extremely informal, neither dated nor signed, and full Of alterations and interlineations ; and it was now urged by the Counsel against the paper, that it could not be received to proof under the principles by which this Court is regulated hi cases of unexecuted papers, especially when they go to control or revok' a regularly executed will, subsisting time of the dea th amo ng papers of moment . The Counsel on. the other sid e d w elt with great force on all the particulars, skewing the intention of Mr. Griffith that this paper should operate: and kept at the and the Cou r t, a fter going carefully over the fact& pleaded, declared that it would admit the allegation, but would reserve its opinion as to the effect of the facts pleaded until it saw how they might turn out in 10°°f*
