PARIS PAPERS. {From the Journal du Commerce:l PARIS, APRIL ‘24.—& correspondent of the Memorial BordeJai* invite* the Journals to imi ltite the custom established in England during meeting of Parliament, of -publishing the name of each Deputy present at the discussion of t-Ite.lawt proposed to the Chamber, and the man as,er-io which he votes. This proposal appears to -us to be perfectly reasonable in principle, and c: fut in all countries which . possess a Repre s.eFtative Government. Where the citizens really t.t.oittinate their Deputies, it is quite natural that shey.shonld feel interested in what- they do, and narrowly watch their conduct, in order that they May treat Them, on their return to their bies,according to their merits. But if the Re- . presentation be fictitios, .all interest in it ceasi.!s, and such watchfulness can have no result or objf,rt.

APRIL 24.—The details we published-of the quarrel et Charenten last fiaturclav, between some workmen of the I , 7;trwlisit -establishment and the inhabitants of the village, are un f .ortunaq:iy too correct. The illagistraus were informed of the matter time enough to interpose ; but though, from its precautions, future scenes of the same kind will not take place, harmony is far' from being estublished. It seems, tLerefore„ of some use to endeavour to enlighten the French Workmen as to the injustice of any jealotrsy of the wcrktiten* of another country, who have come here to impart ,adroe improvements in the useful arts. It is an established fact that int:Lis:Ty has made very rapid strides in France since our manufacturers have been able to visit England, not only to acquire knowledge, but to bring over with 0/ion pattern workmen, who were necessary to France. It would • be very prejudicial, by an ignorant patriotism, to disgust these workmen, to bring quarrels on them which are always unfa vourable to foreigners amidst a large population of natives, and which would force them to leave a country to the prosperity of which they largely. contribute. Among the establisi•#ents on which we ought to congratulate ourselves is that of wrought iron at Charenton. M. At anby, the head of it, is one of the most esteemed manufacturers of England, and was a long periack at the head of a very large establishment in that coun try. He has introduced a degree of improvement in wrought iron which France was far from possessing. Ile brought with him Mr. Wilson, a distinguished engineer, and 200 of thebest workmen of his establishment, and the English Government was so sensible of the danger of such an example, •that it caused an ancient law which had fallen into desuetude to be-revived, and Mr: Manby was sentenced to a year's imprison. ment, and to pay a fine of 1,000/. for every workman that-he took with him. It will be readily conceived that wi:ea he runs such risks no persons are brought into France but very skilful workmen, who are very naturally somewhat better paid. There is injustice, therefore, we repeat, in being envious at their good wages. Men lik e M r . M an b y should be received with grad_ tulle, and not envy, and their labours should be encouraged.

[FR93I THE BRUSSELS PAPERS.] HA APRIL, 17.—The following is en extract from a Private Letter from St. Petersburgh, of 25th Mareh . , relative to a journey, projected by the Emperor Alex wider :—" The two Emperors, before they parted last autumn, in the; Buckowina, agreed to meet again, next autumn in Italy, and the city of Florence was fixed upon as the plice of rendez vous. The Emperor of Austria intended to set out in the month , of Mr.rch, for Italy, and to remain there till the autumn. The Emperor Alexander intended to set out in the month of M a y ; but since his indisposition, his Majesty has given up e the inten tion'of going to Italy. It is said that he has taken this resolu tion'by the advice of his physicians, though other. accounts say that other circumstances have hindered their journey. The Emperor of Austria was informed without delay of the reasons which hindered the Emperor of Russia from executing his plan. It is in consequence of this communication that the Emperor of Austria resolved to defer his journey to Italy till September, a nd eettuainted the Emperor Alexander with his intention of going to Prague in the month of May. OA this the latter re solved to go to Bohemia at the same time, and thus the inter view planned will take place in that kingdoiu.

APRIL 22.--ll is Majesty has issued a -new decree relative to the Netherlands Commercial Society.__ Finding from the report of the Minister that the sum subscribed the first day amounted to 694A5,250 florins, whereas it was fixed by the first decree that the original fund of the Society should be 12 millions, bat might in the sequel be raised to 24 millions, his Majesty has now fixed the fund of the Society a t 37 millions, including the four millions inscribed for the King and the Royal Family, under the same guarantee as fixed in the preceeding decree. The subscription made on the first day shall be accepted in proportion to their amount, viz. those of two shares and under, without reduction ; those of four shares cud under, for two-shares ; and those above four shares, at half their amount. The inscriptions made under conditions shall be accepted on the same footing, provided the subscribers desist from this condition ; and should the subscriptions so accepted exceed 33 millions, the excess shall be deducted from the four millions subscribed by his Majesty. Five per cent. 9n the shares so reduced shall be paid within fourteen days after the close of the subscription—that is, on the 26th of this present month, into the Bank of the Netherlands. On the 30th of April the shareholders shall choose deputies, in order to draw up with Royal C3mmissioners a plan for the proceedings of the Society. The voting shall be without regard to the number of shares that each member may have subscribed, so that nobody shall have more than one vote. The number of Deputies to be 40, viz. 11 for Amsterdam, seven for Antwerp. six for Rotter dam, four for Brussels, three for Ghent, two for Leyden, two for Middleburg, and for Bruges, Dort, Ostend, Schiedutn, and Tournae, one each.—(On the 21st April, the shares were sold in the Exchange of Amsterdam at 1141 per cent.) IRISH There are few subjects, abstractedly consider ed, of more importance to the well-being of Ireland, than that to which we would now direct the attention of our readers— namely the proposed reduction, and speedy abolition of the Irish Fishery Bounties. There arc few countries whose shores afford superior advantages to the Fisherman, nor is there any which presents more strongly to its Government claims for the protection and the encouragement of its superabun dant and wretched population, than Ireland. The 'Act by which these Nunties were first granted was passed so lately as the Sessions of 1849 and 1820; and from its enactment the Irish Government seemed to augur results the most favourable. What, since that period, can have arisen to pro duce even a contemplation of their reduction or abolition we cannot conceive. That, in their results, they have fully equalled the hopes of.the then administration ; that, since their enact ment, a spirit of enterprise has arisen among the populous inhabitants% on our coasts, and consequent extension of our , Irish fisheries; that the quantity and quality of ii,di cured ' has, in increase, surpassed the hope of the first _pro. jectors, cannot, for a moment, be doubted, for the official reports of the Commissioners, annual) , laid before Par liament, prove that they have not only kept pace with, but outstripped the most sangu i ne expectat i ons entertained with regard to them. 'What motive, then,. we would - again ask, can induen the Government to contemplate their reduction ? Ire land is at the present moment awfully convulsed perhaps on the eve of a general rebellion—would it then be politic to throw into the ranks of Field Marshal Rock a mass of its male population so numerous as those inhabiting our coasts— attd such, inevitably, must be the case if those industrious' ' individuals are deprived of the means of earning an honest livelihood, if the protection of Government is withdrawn from , their praiseworthy and hazardous exertions, if this invaluable nursery of Britons best protectors, the seamen, is abolished, for without the fostering hand - of Government Irish Fisheries can . never compete with those of the Dutch, English, or Scotch.— The Irish Fisheries have by the bounty of Ministers crept into' existence, they have acquired strength, why crush them ere their arrival at maturity? Upon this subject we hays much to say,and we would earnesly suggest to our cotemporaries, whatever their political bias, to join with us in averting the intended evil. We have lately made inquiries at Bush, at Sicerries, and at Bal- • briggan, a mere moiety of She parties interested, yet by Cie proposition lately made - for the reduction, on a coast of hut a tew miles in extent, some thousands of fishermen would be deprived of the means of existence, anti the sums of money advanced by them, upon the faith of the Government, in fitting up their vessels, &c. actually lost to them for ever. This is a matter of-n - ,ore serious importance to the well-being of this un fortunate country, than might, at first view, be imagined.— (Dublin Antidote, April 24.) FORTUNE TEr.r.txo.—A vagrant gipsy fortune teller was apprehendedllist Saturday, on the complaint of a cre dulous girl from Ashburton, who had pursued her across the country to obtain justice for a fraud. The girl had consulted the sybil in her profession. The latter, finding , Miss Credulous, was possessed ot seven pounds in cash, caused her to produce it. Of this cash a potent charm was to be formed. Pretend ing to wrap it up in a handkerchief, she re-delivered the pack age after many a muttered charm over it, to the folly girl, with an injunction to lay it under her pillow; and an assurance thaz it would inspire her with dreams prophetic of her fate. Thus far all went smoothly ; but the prophetess had not departed many hours, before the gi r l' s f a ith yielded to her curiosity.— She opened the mystic parcel, and found her seven pounds re duced to a solitary halfpenny. The girl pursued, and overtook her swindler at 11xeter, but too late to recover her money.— 1 DevonshL - c Freeholder.)

Admitting that ther e have been, and may still ,bv, Men Who abt.ie their power,' and are guilty of wanton cruelty, yet they are very few, and the General Body of. Colonial Proprietors are more liberal, and, indeed, know that it is their interest to render; thi , ir slaves com fortable. We' therefore extract with pleasure the folllowing passage- from . 4 Mr. 11,itiewn.L'i PICTURESQUE TOUR OF JAMAICA," which we confidently recommend to the attention of our Readers as ri _Work 'aboundin g w ith va luable information, us well as with graphical beatilles,'und which is the more interesting at the present moment, as it tends to remove the. prejudices which 14 'anatieism has excited, and to avert time horrors which Fanaticism seems - to be anxiously labouring to produce :--- "The original intention of the author of the ' Picturcsquo Tour of Jamaica,' was to have embodied in the:general history of the island, which will form the last number of that work, all the information he possessed - - or the situation of the negro pO: pulation ; h u t the particular circumstances of the times induce him to anticipate that design, by stating thus early a few facts . . - respecting that class. . " As slaves they arc subject to be sold ; but here much mis representation has been forced upon the British public : large purchases o f negroes, unless with the estate upon which they are settled, and which would be useless without them, seldom take place, except what aretalled jobbing gangs, which may sometimes, though rarely, amount to from 20 to 25 ; the only transfers which take plaCe are of domestic or tradesmen negroes, and no man would buy a slave who did not previously agree to live with him. He would be little better than a madman who did so, as the slave would to a certainty run- away; for while the purchaser requires a pol character with the negro, the lat- ter is equally alive to obtain a knowledge of the habits and dis position of the person who may be inclined to purchase him. While the author was on the 3lontpelier estates, Mr. THO EAS the resident carpenter, had ten negroes, and intending to leave Jamaica, he told them to find themselves a master, and if they could place themselves comfortably, he would arrange their price. After some time they came to him and informed him ...... they had found a master, Dr. PIERCE, of Belle Vue, with whom Mr. TIIOMAS afterwards concluded the bargain. They had previously been with Dr. PIERCE, had arranged their provision grounds, clothing, days of rest, and every particular of their allowances. " With regard to their comforts, it is to be remarked that nearly the whole of the markets of Jamaica are supplied with every species of vegetables and fruit by the overplus of the ne groes' produce, by which traffic they acquire considerable riches. ..On Holland estate, in St. Thomas in the East; the property of G. W. Tar Lott, Esq., M.l'., the -negroes keep a boat, Willa trades regularly between That pia& and Kings ton with the surplus, and these grumble as much at the low, price of yams and plantains, as an English farmer at the fall of corn. " Riding in that neighbourhood at. Christmas, the author ' met a negro driving a mule heavily laden ; this man was head cattle-man in Bachelor's Hall Penn, belonging to C. ARCE DECKNE, Esq. an appendage to his fine estate of Golden Grove. had been at Mount Bay for his Christmas stock, and had purchased a cask of "wine, a ham, and many other luxuries, which, withltis poultry ()revery description, of which he had abundance, and the estate allowance of fresh beef, would enable pun to keep open house for three clays for all his ac quaintance. This tnan, being an expert cattle doctor, had fre quently leave of absence, and at his return, at the lapse of a fortniiht, would-bring home a very considerable stun of money. Tltis is an iYi'clulgence granted very generally to expert and well disposed ttegroes on the principal grazing farms ; but even those apparently the least capable may accumulate large sums._ Being on a visit lit the neighbourhood of Arcadia estate, in TrelawnY, the author was - told that an old woman hail brought the attorney a large sum of money, to be sent to the proprietor in England, as her free gift. Though he neither doubted the possibility nor the credit of the story, he was nevertheless will ing to have it from•the best authority ; and being at Beilfield, the residence of irm. Esq. attorney to Arcadia es tate, lie made enquiries of him. -Mr- pIiLIER directed the bdok of A rca di a estate to b e b rought, anti pointed, to the follow ing entry : " Aug. 2, 1820.—This Sum, received of an old Owe negro woman, named MARTIAI to be transmitte.d to England for the benefit of her young master :-..._ •" In Dollars - . - _ 73 " In Macaronees . - - 40 " In Ten-pences . - - 20 " Three Doubloons • _ - . 16 " Small Change • - - - 2—X1.50 " Mr. MILLER remonstrated with berupon her wish to send so large a SUM from her family, but she only replied that she had enough left for them and to bury herself; how much more She might have had was never inquired into. The occasion of this donation was the report which had reached her that the estate was to be sold, and imagining that a portion of her savings might be of use to her owner, she thus generously offered them. Now this was an old imported negress, and it proves incon testibly-t*o facts : First, that she must have been amply sup plied with every comfort of life to have been able to sell so much provision (the only mode she had of acquiring money ;) and secondly, she must have been well treated, or she would not have made so affecting a retu r n o f gratitude. It is useless to niultiply cases of the riches of negroes ; they are known, not unfrequently, to lend large sums of money to the whites upon interest, and the author has not the slightest hesitation in placing them far above our own labouring population in the scale of positive natural enjoyments. To these comforts which the negro already possesses, it would indeed be most gratifying to humanity to- superadd the inestimable blessing of freedom, with the capacity to enjoy and improve it: but it is much to he feared that this latter is incompatible with any idea of re taining the Colony as a Property, which remark might, by strong reasons, be - but too 'cl ea rl y prove d. Th e au th or h as ' thought it right to put then few facts together. lie has only to add, that during a residence of eighteen months on the islapd during which dme he visited every parish, remaining on some estates for one day only (a time too short to change any system of severity an overseer might have. adopted) on others for two months, a period during which no deception could be kept up ; and he can confidently aver that he never witnessed an infliction of a cruel or unmanly punishment." Sir ITARCOURT LEEi, the resolute Champion for the Protestant Faith and the indefatigable foe of Popery, •has written a long letter, which appears in the Dublin Antidote, from which we have extracted the following passage :—" At all events I have the proud satisfaction of knowing, that I have excited aConstitutional spirit through out the Empire, .that neither any future KING o r his Ministers could stem the torrent of, if I conceived it to be my duty, from the imminence of the danger, to rouse the Empire in defence of their liberties and their religion. Fifteen minutes spent in writing an address, and a couple of hun dred pounds in circulating it, would dispose of Popery and Patriots, with Cabinets and Chapels in a very short time, or I am much mistaken.— Instead of the centemptible--, then, dis countenancing proselytism, let them vote me half the sum they lavish upon the Maynooth Monkery of treason and blasphemy, to support conforming Priests from the Romish communion, and to rescue many of theSe poor men from the mad houses, where they - are at this hour to my know ledge confined, until shall sanc tion a Popish Inquisition ; and I will expel the POPE altogether from Ireland—l p!edge myself. to this." ERTHW 'CB: V. .1 E NS. Mr. llottN„c begged to call his Lordship's attrn tion to the above case, which, %vas one of vt•ry considerable importance, not only to the parties concerned, but to others. There were private circumstances in this - family that he need not now publicly state, which rendered it of the utmost consequence that his Lordship's judgment should be made known as early_ as possible. Mr. d'4 ETHERELL sulnnitted, that before this was done it might be necessary for his Lord ship to be put in possession of th e wh o l e o f th e case, "and probably the consequence would be, that his Lordship would be induced to send it to another place. Mr. ifouNE hoped his Lordship would do no such thing. Mr. WETHERELL said, that when the Cause was sent to the Court of King's Bench, the Judges there had passed over the most important' part of the inquiry. The personality there had been considered the same as the reality. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that when ,the •case•catne before him he hail thought it his.-doty to enter more largely into the views of the case than had been taken of it, and for this pur pose he had drawn the attention of Coun sel to the question of leasehold as - well as freehold property. lie was certainly ex tremely disappointed . on reading the printed evidence of the hea r i ng i n t h e C ourt o f Ki ng ' s Bench. However, as he had been mh.takett in his object in sending it to the Court below, he should not now send it back again ; but he at the same time felt- it quite. unnecessary to trouble Counsel in re-arguing the merits of it until they had heard what his Lordship had to say on it, which he would do on Friday. VICE-CIIANCELLORS' COURT-(T r HIS JAY.) BRA ysTocK. AND OTHERS V. SIR TDOS. STEPNEY, SIR WM. MANSELL AND OTHERS, Mr. HART moved the Court for an . Order, di» "recting Mr. Price, of. Glamorganshire, Soli citor, to place forthwith, in the Master's Office, all the deeds, papers, &c. relative to the estates ❑amed in the above mention ed cause. Mr. Price was the: surviving part ner of Robert Nelson. Thomas, the Solicitor to Sir Wm. Mansell, and who now conceived that he had a lien on the 'Deeds as Solicitor to the Administrators of Mr. Thomas, to whom a sum of 7001. was due for costs and pecu niary advances. The - trust bad been originally made for the purpose of. raising 10,0001. on the property, and there still remained 4,0001. miraised, and which, unless the papers were placed as prayed for, could not be obtain ed. He (Mr. Hart) understood there was no objection on the part of Mr.. Price► to any order the Court might make, his only wish being to act in such a way that he might not . ipcur . dny loss himself.

WOODIN. .• _ The plaintiff in this case brought his action against the defendant to abate a nuisance.—lt appeared from the evidence that the plaintiff held a house on lease in George-street, Portman square, and carried on the business of a green grocer. The defendant also occupied premises adjacent, where he had erected an hospital or in firmary for sick horses, which occasioned a great nuisance, and the smell from the .hospital of the animals was of that disagreeable description that the lodgers of the plaintiff had given him notice to quit the premises, the same being hurtful to their constitution . , and totally uninhabitable ; but, on the landlord informing them that an action was pending to abate the nuisance, they were willing to remain if that was accomplished. On the defendant taking a lease of the premises, the agreement proved that he was not to carry on any sort of business, by the alterations he might make, to annoy his neigh biin'rs with a nuisance. The Commo N SEIMEANT, for the defendant, intimated he had no objection to the case going to a reference. This being acceeded to on the other side, a verdict was taken for the plaintiff, damages 5001., subject to a reference. Tilt KING V. THE PARISH OF ST. MARY-LE-BONE. This was an indictment. against the parish for not keeping in repair a road leading .along the north outside boundary of the Regent's Park.— The road in question had been formed under the direction of the Crown, on whose lands it was si tuate. It appeared that the road hail been mode l with gravel only. For the defence it was con tended, that this was not sufficient material, and that the road having never been properly made, , the parish were not bound to keep it in repair. , Several surveyors spoke of the road as having never been properly made.—Verdict for de. fendants. Juno,m ENT.—In the Insolvent Debtors' Court, John Holland Goddard, a young man of fashion. able exterior, came up to claim his discharge. The insolvent originally was opposed by Mr. F ORES, a wine -merchant, with whom, under a false representation, he contracted a debt to a considerable amount, saying at the time he had received an order from his friends in the country for wine, and if he could recommend some he should supply it, and Insolvent /was to pay on a remittance from the country ; the goods were accordingly fur nished, and in a few days after the wine was' disposed of to a person in town. Mr. Fores never heard of the insolvent until he received a notice of his intention to take the benefit of the Act.—The Court, under all the circumstances, adjudged the insolvent to eight months' confine ment within the walls, for fraudulently cOntract• ing a debt with his opposing creditor.

Letters have been received this morning fro. Leghorn and Genoa. They state that our Air ping are not in any way molested by Algerifle cruizers, in consequence of the strict blockade of the Algerine coast, which is kept up by the Bri• tish squadron. The letters do not contaiu AV' political news. In our preceding columns we !lave given co pious extracts from the foreign journals, which, though of some interest, do not call for particular remark. The quarrel which has taken pinco at Cbarenton, between a body of English %rot kna•-" and the inhabitants of the village, we hope have at least one good effect, in dete:rrli.l many of our artisans from at once violatimi the laws, and injuring the best interests of their own country, by entering into ti" service of foreigners abroad- From the inaaee r in which the subject is treated by the Cowie Frangais, it appears that the quarrel originated in a feeling of jealousy and envy of the English men, on the part of the French workmen of the same class, and that that malignant feeling ill generally entertained and manifested by the latter• English artisans, therefore, who contemplate a removal to France, cannot but be aware, after what has already occurred, of the un pleasant and even dangerous predicament in which they will place themselves by quitting their own country ; for the spirit of hostility ma nifested towards them is of such a nature that it can only be increased by the increasing numbers of those who are viewed as unfair intruders into COLONIAL SLAVERY.
