This \V..,4, _e ,• , • , , the public, ten thousand copies - have been exhausted since its fir,t appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been • either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lun g s, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining I away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, anti a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

CORRESPONDENCE RELATING TO THE DETEN TION OF AMERICAN VESSELS ON THE AFRI CAN COAST BY BRITISH ARMED CRUISERS. (Continued from The Sun of Saturday.) LORD ABERDEEN TO MR. STEVENSON. Foreign-office, Oct. 13, 1841. The undersigned, her Majesty's principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has had the honour to re ceive the note of Mr. Ste7enson,EnvoyExtraordinary and MinisteYPlenipotentiary of the United States of America, dated on the 10th of September, in continuation of a correspondence with the predecessor of the undersigned in this office, and relating to the visitation of vessels bearing the American flig, and suspected of being engaged in the African slave trade. If the undersigned feels it necessary to offer some remarks upon the note of Mr. Stevenson, he is desirous of doing so in the manner best calculated to ensure a candid and impartial consideration ; for he would deeply regret that any harshness or asperity of expression should aggravate the difficulties of a subject which is, at all times, but too liable to produce excitement and irritation. The undersigned is aware of the suscepti bility of national feeling in all that affects rational ho nour, and he requests Mr. Stevenson to believe that it is with the most unfeigned respect for the rights, honour, and independence of the United States, that he now proceeds to address them. The undersigned will forbear from entering into any particulars of the visitation of the vessels which has formed the principal matter of Mr. Stevenson's complaint to her M tjesty's Govern vent, and which has been fully discussed in his.orretpondence with the predecessor of the undersigned - That proceeding may have been justifiable or other wise, and the undersigned will be prepared, if necessary, to enter with Mr. Stevenson into the details of the question ; but his present object is that of a more general nature. He is desirous of placing very briefly before Mr. Stevenson the consequences of those principles which he has laid down, and to ap peal to his candour—the undersigned had almost said to the dictates of plain sense—in order to reject such a conclusion as that which must necessarily flow from the arguments contained in Mr. Stevenson's note. Mr. Stevenson claims for the American flag an abso lute exemption from all interference, and utterly denies the right of the British Government, under any circum stances whatever, to visit, in time of peace, merchant vessels bearing the flag of the Union. Mr. Stevenson quotes the opinion delivered by Lord Stowell upon this subject, who declares that, in order to extirpate this odious traffic, it would not be lawful to capture vessels, even if they had slaves on board ; and also that, for the same purpose, however laudable, no right of search could be admitted to exist. Now, the undersigned is the last person who would presume to question the authority of the distinguished jurist to whom Mr. Stevenson has referred. But Mr. Stevenson will recollect that the judgment of Lord Stowell was delivered in the case of a French vessel which had actually been captured, and was condemned by a British tribunal. The sentence was reversed by Lord Stowell, in the year 1817. At that period Great Britain had no reason to presume that the slave trade was regarded as criminal by the whole civilised world, or that all nations had united their efforts for its sup pression. And, even if such had been the case, it would have been very far from affording any justifica tion of the sentence reversed. But the undersigned must observe that the present happy concurrence of the States of Christendom in this great object, not merely justifies, but renders indispensable, the right now &aimed and exercised by the British Government. Tne under signed readily admits that to visit and search American vessels in time of peace, when that right of search is not granted by treaty, would be an infraction of public law and a violation of national dignity and independence. But no such right is asserted. We sincerely desire to respect vessels of the United States, but we may reasonably expect to know what it really is that we respee'. Doubtless the fl ig is prima facie evidence of the nationality of the vessel ; and if this evidence were, in its nature, conclusive and irrefragi ble, it ought to preclude all further inquiry. But it is sufficiently notorious that the flags of all nations are liable to be assumed by those who have no right or title to bear them. Mr. Stevenson himself fully adrnitS the extent to which the American flag has been employed for the pur pose of covering this infamous traffic. The undersigned ioins with Mr. Stevenson in de nli , that the United States ought tict to be considered re sponsible for this abuse cf their flag. Bat if att inquiry be resisted, even when carried no farther than to ascer tain the nationality of the vessel, and impunity be claimed for the most lawless and desperate of mankind in the commission of this fraud, the undersigned greatly fears that it may be regarded as something like an assump of that responsibility which has been deprecated by Mr. Stevenson. While Mr. Stevenson deplores the prevalence of this abuse, and the nefarious character of the trade, can be be satisfied that no remedy should be applied or at tempted P The undersigned hopes and believes that the number of bone fide American vessels engaged in the trade is very small, and thus the danger of interference with such vessels by British cruisers must be of rare occurrence. Mr. Stevenson will admit that his objection to this interference would, under any circumstances, tend in its consequences to the prote c ti on o f an a bominable traffic, stigmatised by the whole Ch r i st i an wor ld ; but the con fession of Mr. Stevenson that the trade is extensively carried on under the fraudulent use of the American tlag, does in truth justify the whole claim put forward by the British Government. It constitutes that reasonable ground of suspicion which the law of nations requires in such a case. The admitted fact of this abuse creates the right of inquiry. The undersigned renounces all pretension on the part of the British Government to visit and search Ameri can vessels in time of peace. Nor is it as American that such vessls are ever visited. But it has been the invariab!c practice of the British Navy, and, as the un• dersigned believes, of all navies in the worl.l, to aseer tlin by visit the real nationality of merchant vessels met with on the high seas, if there be good reason to appre hend their illegal character. In certain latitudes, and for a particular object, the vessels referred. to are visited, not as American, but either as British vessels engaged in an unlawful traffic, mid carrying the flag of the United States for a criminal purpose; or as belonging to States which have by treaty conceded to Great Britain the right of search, and which right it is attempted to defeat by fraudulently bearing the protecting flag of the Union ; cr finally, they are visited as piratical outlaws, possessing no claim to any flag or nationality whatever. Now, it can scarcely be maintained by Mr. Stevenson .that Great Britain should be bound to permit her own subjects, with British vessels and British capital, to carry on before the eyes of British officers this detest able traffic in human beings, which the law has declared to be piracy, merely because they had the audacity to commit an additional offence by fraudulently usurping the American flag. Neither could Mr. Stevenson, with more reason, affirm that the subjects of States which have granted to Great Britain the right of search should be enabled to violate the obligation of their treaties, by displaying the Sag of the Union, contrary Co the will and in defiance of the American Government itself Still less would Mr. Stevenson pretend to claim im munity for piratical adventurers who should endeavour to slither their lawless proceedings tinder the ensign of the United States. But, unless Mr. Stevenson be prepared to maintain these propositions, the whole fabric of his argument falls to the ground ; for the und ersi g ne d admits that if the except bearing it i under British cruiser should pos sess a know ledge of the Ame rican wouldbe entirely character of any unjustifiable. He farther admits tha so much respect a n d h onour are due to the America n flag that no vessel the e gh m t t n o st be gr v a is v i e ted sagpin by a British inna and w cruiser, the genuineness of its character. The undersigned, although with pain, must add, that if such visit should lead to the proof of the American origin of the vessel, and that she was avowedly engaged in the slave trade, exhibiting to view the manacles, fet ters, and other usual implements of torture, or had even a number of these unfortunate beings on board, no Bri tish officer could interfere farther. He might giv6 information to the cruisers of the United States, hut it would not bo in his power to ar rest or impede the prosecution of the voyage and the success of the undertaking. It is obvious, therefore, that the utmost caution is necessary in the exercise of the right claimed by Great Britain. Wilde we have recours e to the necessary, and indeed the only means for detecting imposture, the prac tice will be carefully guarded, and limited to cases of strong suspicion. The undersigned begs to assure Mr. Steveason that the moit'Prcise and positive instructions have been issued to her MaFsty's officers on this subject. The United States have stigmatised this abominable trade in terms of abhorrence as strong as the people of this country. ' , rimy are also actively engaged in its ' suppression. But, if, instead of joining their efforts to those of Great Britain, and labouring with her for the attainment of this great blessing to humanity, the United States had wished to follow a different course, the rea soning employed in Mr. Stevenson's note is precisely such as would be resorted to for its defence and justification. The undersigned, with his, convictioc of the perfect good faith and sincerity of the _Governtnent of the U. - .ited States, would almost fear to offend Mr. Steven son even by disclaiming any such suspicion ; but he be lieves Mr. Stevenson will agree with him in lamenting that the effects of the policy of the United States should have any tendency to create a different impression in the minds of those who are disposed to think less favourably and less justly upon this subject. Great Britain makes no pretension, claims no right, which she is not ready and desirous to concede to the United States. A mutual right of search, regulated in such a man ner as to prevent the occurrence of any irritating circum stances, has always appeared to the undersigned to be the most simple, and most effectual method of attaining the great object which both Governments have in view. But this proposal has already been rejected by the United Stites, and the undersigned is not instructed again to offer it for consideration. It is for the American Government alone to deter mine what may be due to a just regard for their national dignity and national interests ; but the undersigned must be permitted to express his conviction, that rights which have been mutually conceded to each other by the Governments of Great Britain and France can scarcely be incompatible with the honour and indepen dence of any State upon the face of the earth. The undersigned avails himself of this occasion to re quest of Mr. Stevenson to accept the assurances of his distinguished consideration. ABERDEEN. A. Stevenson, Esq., &c. MR. STEVENSON TO LORD ABERDEEN. 32, Upper Grosveeor-street, 0et.21, 1841. The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States of America, has the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the note which Lord Aberdeen, her Majesty's Principal Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs did him the honour to address to him, under date of the 13th instant, in answer to the one from the undersigned of the 10th of September, relative to the visitation and interruption to which the vessels and commerce of the United States have been subjected by British cruisers in the African seas, and which has been made the subject of complaint to her Majesty's Government ; and, having considered with the attention which their importance merits the arguments presented by Lord Aberdeen's note, the undersigned has now the honour to submit to his Lord ship's consideration the observations which he feels himself called upon to make. Before proceeding to do so, however, the undersigned will take occasion to remark that he shares fully in the opinion expressed by Lord Aberdeen as to the import ance of avoiding, in the discussion of grave questions of a national character, everything calculated to embarrass or throw difficulties in the way of impartial and dispas. sionate consideration. The undersigned, therefore, with great sincerity, assures Lord Aberdeen of the readiness and zeal with which he is disposed to conduct the ne gotiations between the two countries on his part, in a manner the most conciliatory and best enlculated to pre serve peace ; end that he should equally deplore with Lord Aberdeen that any harshness or asperity of ex pression should be suffered to mingle in the discussion of a question involving national sensibility ,of feeling., and so liable, as his Lordship justly supposes, to produce ex• citement and irritation. He begs Lord Aberdeen,there fore, to believe that it is under the influence of such feelings, and with the most perfect respect both for him self and for her Majesty's Government, that he now proceeds to reply to those parts of his Lordship's note, which he deems it his duty to notice. To enable him to do this, it may be important to ascertain what is the real question at issue between the two Governments, and the precise nature of the power asserted by her Majesty's Government over the vessels and commerce of the United States. It may be thus briefly stated : The Government of Great Britain, with that of other nations, regarding the African slave trade as a great evil, united in measures for its abolition. For that purpose laws were passed and treaties concluded gising to the vessels of each of the contracting parties the mutual right of search under certain limitations Independent of these treaties, and under the principles of public law, this right of search could not be exer cised. The United States were invited to become a party to these treaties; but, for reasons which they deemed satisfactory, and growing out of the peculiar character of their institutions and systems of Government, they declined doing so. They deemed it inexpedient, unde7 any mollification, or in any form, to yield the right of having their vessels searched or interfered w it}, t L aUbtitlatil/14) Vica,;el 0.1 "Ha SU between the two Governments, Lord Aberdeen is doubtless informed. In the meantime some of the Powers who were parties to those treaties, and ethers who refused to become so, continued to prosecute their slave traffic ; and, to enable them to do so with more effect, they resorted to the use of digs of other nations, but more particularly that of the United States. prevent this, and enforce her treaties, Great Britain deemed it important that her cruisers in the African seas should have the right of detaining and examining all vessels navigating those seas, for the purpose of ascertaining their national character. Against this practice the Government of the United States pro tested, and the numerous cases out of which the present discussion has arisen, became subjects of complaint and negotiation between the two Governments. Her Majes ty's Government, however, having refused to make reparation in any of the cases, and still asserting the right of her cruisers to continue the practice ofdetain ing and examining all vessels on the coast and in the African seas, it becomes important that the precise character and extent of the right thus claimed should be clearly ascertained. In the last note which the undersigned had the honour of addressing to Lord Aberdeen, he attempted to show, in the first place, that the right asserted by her Majesty's Government, in Lord Palmerston's note of the 27ch of August, was substantially a right of search ; and in the next place, that, if it was not, still the right of interference in the manner asserted, with the vessels or flags of other nations, not parties to these treaties, was not less un lawful and unjustifiable. Now, Lord Aberdeen disclaims the right of search ing American vessels on the high seas, and admits that to do so would be a gross infraction of the public law, and a violation of national sovereignty and independence. But his Lordship contends that, in requiring vessels sailing under the flag of the United States to submit to the operation of examination, in the manner and for the objects proposed by his Government, there would be no violation of national rights or honour ; and, cobse quently, nothinf to which the Government of the United Stites ought rightfully to object. Upon this branch of the subject the undersigned does not intend to repeat the arguments contained in his previous correspondence with her Majesty's late Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Referring Lord Aberdeen to that correspondence, he will content himself with submitting such additional observations as his Lordship's last note has rendered necessary. Is the right, then, claimed by her Majesty's Govern ment, less an infraction of the principles of public law and the rights of independent States than that of search, which is disclaimed ? Now Lord Aberdeen will remark the right asserted by his predecessor for her Majesty's Government, is clear and explicit. It is thus stated in Lord Palmers ton's note :—" That her Majesty's Government have decided that the flag of the United States shall exempt no vessel (whether American or not) from search by her Majesty's cruisers in the African seas, unless such vessel shall be found provided with papers entitling her to the protection of the flag she wears, and proving her to be United States property, and navigating the ocean according to law." Of what law, however, whether public or municipal, his Lordship does not state, but laves to be inferred. This doctrine Lord AlPrdeen is understood to affirm. Now, in the first place, here is an actual denial of the right of vessels of the United States to navigate the ocean in time of peace, without being subject to detention and examination, and without proof of their being the property of citizens of the United States, and documented according to law. It constitutes the com mandant of every British cruizer the exclusive judge to decide whether such vessels, in the language of his Lordship, be "properly provided with papers entitling them to the protection y the flag they wear, and proving them to be United States' property, and navigating the ocean according to law." What essential difference, then, is there between the right of search, in its harshest form, and that of ar resting the vessels of an independent nation on their voyage, compelling their officers to leave their vessels, and subjecting them and their papers to the exami nation and decision of every subordinate naval com mander ? Is it not the right of placing British cruizers on any part of the ocean that her Majesty's Government may select, and prescribing the terms upon which other nations are to participate in the freedom of the seas? Is it not, in effect, a claits: of ju risdiction over the whole of the African coasts and ses: as exclusive as that which could only be enjoyed within the acknowledged limits of local sovereignty ? To these questions but one answer can be given. It must be in the affirmative. But to what consequences would not such a power lead, if once submitted to ? Where would it end ? If Great Britain can exercise such power, why may not other nations do the same? What is there to prevent those States, especially, which have entered into treaties for the abolition of slavery, from subjecting the vessels and commerce of the United States to similar interruptions and embarrassments? Why should not Hayti (which bas lately been in duced to prohibit the slave trade) authorise her cruisers to follow the example of her Majesty's Admission to the whole, One Shilling.

Despatches from the new seta meat, addressed to the Secretary of the Western Australian Company by the Chief Commissioner, have been Teceived of the 10th, 13th, and 25th of May, of the 26th of June, and of the 15th of July, all of which speak in the most favourable terms of the land chosen for the colony, and of its progress. Port Leschenault, or, as it is now called, Knornbana Bay, is described as safe and eanacious. With that and the site of the town, placed with iis western front on an inland sea, there is a sea communication with the port, while it also commands a communication with the interior by means of two rivers, called the Brunswick and Collie. We copy a brief extract or two of the despatches :—" It is a source of unmixed gratification to me to be able to in form the Directors that we are ad in good health and spirits, and in a state of happiness and prosperity seldom found amongst so many assembled together. We seem to be, in fact, one large family; no breath of dis content reaches my ears, and all my measures for the encouragement and keeping together of settlers and emigrants have been eminently successful : under the peculiar, almost, I might say, extraordinary circum stances in which we have been placed, I might have expected differences of opinion and dissepsion, but, happly, neither has existed. I have done all I possibly can for the encouragement of the settlers."—Letter rf June 26. In despatching to you, for the Directors of the Western Australian Company, the large, and I hope I may say, splendid plan of the town of Australind which accompanies this letter, I cannot refrain from giving expression to the feelings of gratification which I experience in having brought this difficult and most important work to what I believe to be a most success ful result ; and which I entertain the the fondest hopes will obtain the approval of the Directors, and do ho nour to myself as founder of their capital in this, colony. " I cannot but at the same time offer my warm con gratulations to the Directors that the position of their settlement should so happily prove to combine every possible advantage which could have been hoped for by the most sanguine, and to surpass, in a very great de= gree, what had been expected by those best acquainted with our Australian possessions. . " 3. The site of the town is beautiful and healthy in a most remarkable degree ; of the latter I am thank lui to be able to give a positive proof, in the undevi ating good health which has and does, thank God, prevail in our population ; of the former there can be no difference of opinion with reference either to the view of the charming inland sea (now entirely fresh) before its western front; of the Collie and the ranges of hills from its southern end ; of the River Brunswick in its centre ; or of the extensive track of high country and forest scenery from all its eminences. . . . " An energetic system of support to the settlement at home, and a temperate and judicious administration of ►ts affairs here by whomsoever may be in future its principal officer, will, I confidently predict, raise this settlement at a very early period, to a flourishing and important rank amongst the colonies of Great Britain ; it will became the resort of shipping to a great extent for supplies of all sorts, and Australind will yet be the emporium. on this side of the continent of New Holland. —Letter of July 15.

Spite Welds, on the body of Matthew Beer, a shoemaker, aged 37. Matilda Roberts, of No. 15, Union street, Bishopsgate, said that the de ceased was her brother, and he had been in an insane state for some time past. She had tried to get him into St, Luke's Hospital, but in consequence of his being too long_ in an unsound stat e o f m i n d s h e was . unsuccessful. He had twice attempted self-destructionby cu tting his throat, and had only been out of the hospital seven weeks since his last attempt. For th e l as t f ew d a ys ! he had been very .low and desponding, from not having had any employment for the last three weeks. On Sa turday morning, about ten o'clock, a boy came and in formed her that on looking through the keyhole of de ceased's room-door he had seen blood on the floor. She went into the room, and found deceased in bed, with his throat cut in a dreadful manner. A shoemaker's knife was lying by his side, with which he had committed the act. Verdict--,Temporary insanity. PRICE 5(1 Government ? By one of her receat' laws upon the subject, she did assert a similar right ; but it was afterwards changed, at the instance of Great Britain, upon the ground that no nation had the right in time of peace to enforce the provisions of their laws and trea ties against States who were not parties to them, and consequently not bound by them. In the note addressed by the undersigned to Lord Palmerston, under date of the 27th of February, IS4I, and referred to in the one to Lord Aberdeen, allusion was made to the proceed ings of her Majesty's Government, under which the Ilaytian Government were induced to change their laws. At that time, at least, it is presumed, her Majesty's Go vernment had not determined to assert this right of do minion over the sea. But again, why might not the right of search for seamen and deserters, and that of impress ment, be defended upon the principles of the present claim? Let it be supposed, for purposes of illustration, that Great Britain had entered into treaties with other nations, by which the right ofsearch for seamen or deserters was given to the vessels of each other, and that some of the contracting States, in order to evade their engagements, should re sort to the fraudulent use of the flags of other nations. And suppose, also, that with the view of enforcing these treaties, it should be deemed expedient to assert a right of boarding and examining, upon the high seaq, the vessels of nations who had not surrendered the right, and were not parties to the treaties ! Does Lord Aberdeen or her Majesty's Government believe that such a power would be tolerated by any independent nation upon the face of the earth ? And yet, what difference would there be between such a case and the one under consideration, except that the one would re late to slavery nod the other to impressment ?—subjects, probably, equ Illy important in the view of her Ma jesty's Government. It was against the exercise of any such right that the distinguished jurist to whom reference has been made, declared (while sitting as a Court under the law of na tions) " that no authority could be found which gave any right of visitation or interruption over the vessels and navigation of other States, on the high seas, except that which the right of war gises to belligerents against neutral=, and that Great Britain had no right to force Ir way to the liberation of Africa by trampling upon the rights and independence of other nations for any good, however eminent." Upon what principl,s, then, of public law or of common right or justice, such a power as that now asserted is to be defended or justified, her Majesty's Government does not deem it expedient to state. As yet, it has been left to stand for its whole effi cacy upon the grounds of expediency. The unde• signed must, therefore repeat the opinion expressed in his note to Lord Aberdeen, that there is no essential difference whatever between the right of search and that now asserted by her Majesty's Govern ment. But Lord Aberdeen contends that, in resisting the exercise of this right in the form in which it has been made, the undersigned is necessarily compelled to claim, not only immunity for the flag of the United Sates and all the piratical adventurers who are endea vouring to shelter themselves under it, but to maintain that Great Britain herself would be bound to permit her own subjects, with British vessels and British capital, to carry on their traffic under their own eyes, provided it was done under the fraudulent use of an American flag; and his Lordship further declares that unless the undersigned is prepared to maintain to their full extent these propositions, the whole fabric of his argument must fall to the ground. Now, the undersigned begs to observe that Lord Aberdeen has greatly misapprehended the principles and arguments contained in the note which he had the honour of addressing to his Lordship, and which it be- comes proper to seize the earliest moment of correct ing. This the undersigned will the more re a dily d o , because he is persuade, from the spirit in which Lord Aberdeen's note is written, that he will take pleasure in correcting any misapprehension into which ha may unintentionally have been drawn. Indeed, the un dersigned must have expressed himself very imperfectly, if, in denying the right of interfering with vessels under the American flag, he did not convey the opinion that he in tended to limit his objection to vessels bone fide Ame rican, and not to those belonging to nations who might fraudulently have assumed the flag of the United States. With the vessels of other nations, whether sailing under their own or another flag, the Govern ment of the United States can have no authority or desire to interfere. The undersigned, therefore, did not Inca% t() be understood treaties, provided, however, it should be done without violating the principles of public law of the rights of other nations. Nor are such the consequences which can fairly be deduced from the argument which he had the honour of addressing to Lord Aberdeen, and which his Lordship seems so greatly to have misapprehended. Great Britain has the undoubted right, and so have all other nations, to detain and examine the vessels of their own subjects, whether slavers or net, and whether with or without a flag purporting to be that of the United States ; but, in doing this, it must be borne in mind that they have no colour of right, nor will they be per mitted, to extend such interference to the vessels or citizens of the United States sailing under the pro tecton of the fl ig of their country. If Great Britain, or any other nation, cannot restrain the slave traffic of their own people npon the ocean without violating the rights of other nations and the freodom of the seas, then indeed the impunity of which Lord Aberdeen speaks will take place. This may be deplored, but it cannot be avoided. But Lord Aberdeen asserts that it has been the invariable praet;ce of the British navy, and he believes of all the navies in the world, to ascertain by visit the real charac ter of merchant vessels met with on the high seas, if there be good reason to apprehend their illegal cha racter. Now, the undersigned must be excused for doubting whether any such practice as that which Lord Aberdeen supposes, certainly not to the extent now claimed, has ever prevailed in time of peace. In war the right of visitation is practised, under the limita tions authorised by the laws of nations, but not in peace. What other nation than Great Bri tain has ever asserted or attempted to exercise it ? None, it is believed. There is another misappre hension, also, into which Lord Aberdeen seems to have fallen, that it may be important to correct. It relates to an admission which his Lordshin supposes the undersigned to have made, as to the extent of the abuse of the American flag for the purpose of slave traffic. Now, the undersigned would submit, that he did not intend to express, nor did he, any opinion as to the extent to which the flag of the United States was abused by other nations. So far from it, he expressly stated, as Lord Aberdeen will perceive by reference to his note, that neither he nor his Government had the means of forming any opinion upon the subject. He admitted the abuse of the flag, and deplored it, but to what extent he gave no opinion. Nor can the undersigned yield to the force of the reasoning employed by Lord Aberdeen, arising out of the limited number of bone fide American vessels en gaged in the slava trade, to prove that the danger of interference with American vessels will be of rare oc currence. Ha readily admits, with Lord Aberdeen, that there are few American vessels, if any, engaged in the slave trade ; but, in admitting the fact, he does not perceive very clearly what bearing it can have upon the present discussion, or how the smallness of the number of American slavers can at all guard against the evils which Lord Aberdeen sup poses. For, if it be true, as his Lordship contends, that the abuse by other nations of the flag of the United States is one of increasing extent, and that it can in no way be prevented but by the examination of all vessels sailing under the flag of the United States ; and as it must also be admitted that there are nume rous American vessels engaged in lawful commerce in the African seas, which, with other vessels, arc to be subjected to detention and examination ; what possible effect can the number of American slavers have in preventing the interference to that more nume rous class of merchantmen who arc to be found engaged in commerce throughout the whole of the African seas ? If there was not a single vessel of the United States engaged in the slave trade, the evils and interruptions which Lord Aberdeen is so desirous of avoiding must still take place, whenever the right shall be attempted to be enforced against those vessels that are not slavers. But the great caution which is to be observed in the exercise of the right, and the careful manner in which it will be guarded, is greatly relied on by Lord Aberdeen in its defence. Indeed, his Lordship declares that so much honour and respect are due to the flag of the United States, that it is only to be exercised in certain latitudes, land exclusively confined to cases where the strongest suspicion and well-founded doubts exist, Now the undersigned would respectfully ask of what consequence it can be to the United States if their rights or the honour of their flag are violated, whether it is done upon one part of the ocean or another? In r e to the well-founded suspicion to which Lord rt. Ahern refers, it. might have been desirable (if the manner of „ :creising an unlawful power_ can excuse it) that his Lords.. '.° should n a ve stated . whatthe par ticular character and de;ree' of the suspicion was to be which was alone to ,iustify t he interference of her Ma jesty's cruisers. That st:C-- h a right as that claimed, it ex fided t those of h Majs- isted, could not safely be t.: (l ' a 'Qtoforeo been in the er habit e of Ws cruisers who have het, -els himself warranted in exercising it, the undersigned to t,esatisfactorily shown supposing. This, he presumes, will a presented to her by the cases which he has heretoforfs reparation has Majesty's Government, and for which na , embarrass yet been made. These cases will show tit. ments and injuries to which the trade and commerce of the United States, throughout the whole of the African seas, have already been subjected by the vexatious seizures and detentions of her Majesty's cruisers, and in most of them without justification or excuse. That the right asserted by her Majesty's Govern ment may be regarded as important, may not be doubted. Indeed, the undersigned would not act frankly towards Lord Aberdeen, if he were to pretend that the conse quences of refusing the exercise of the right by the American Government might not throw •ery great difficulties in the way of executing the existing treaties for the abolition of the slave trade ; bu►, as he has taken occasion heretofore to observe, the admission can neither strengthen the claim of right, nor diminish the force of the objections to it on the pelt of the United States. There remains only one other part of Lord Aber deen's note which the undersigned deems it necessary at this time to notice. It is that in which bis Lordship expresses the opinion that any right of search which shall have been conceded by two such Governments as France and Great Britain ca❑ scarcely be considered as incompatible with the honour and independence of any nation upon earth. Now, if Lord Aberdeen's remark was intended to apply to the proposal which was made by her Majesty's Government to that of the United States for a mutual right of search, secured and guarded by treaty stipulations, the undersigned has no observa tion to make ; but if this opinion of his Lordship was intended to apply to the right now asserted by Great Britain, and proposed by her Government to be exercised in the abseece of all conventional arrange ment, then the undersigned must be allo►sed to express his decided dissent. That the exercise of mutual rights, properly secured, might not be iecompati'ole with na tional honour and sovereignty he readily admits, inas much as the contracting parties would stand upon the footing of equality and security. Tnis he presumes to be the case between France and Great Britain ; but such would not be the case between Great Britain and the United States. The undersigned must, therefore, after the most careful consideration of the arguments advanced in Lord Aberdeen's note, repeat the opinion which he has heretofore expressed, that if a power such as that which is now asserted by her Majrrsty's Government shall be enforced, not only without consent, but in the face of a direct refusal to concede it, it can be regarded in no other light by the Government of the United States than a violation of national rights and sovereignty, and the incontestable principles of international law. That its exercise may lead to consequences of a painful character, there is too much. reason to apprehend. In cases of conflicting rights between nations, the precise line which neither can pass, but to which each may advance, is ■ot easily found or marked ; and yet it , xists, whites er may be the difli;:ulty of discerning it. In ordinary cases of disagreement there is little danger ; each nation may, and often does yield, something to the other. Such, however, it is to be feared, is not the present case. The peculiar nAture of the power asserted, and the consequences which may be apprehended from its exer cise, make it one of an important a momentous cha racter. Involving, as it does, questions of high and dangerous sovereignty, it may be justly re gardal as deeply endangering the good understand ing of the two countries. Ought her Majesty's Go vernment, then, under such circumstances, to insist upon its enforcement? That it will not, the under signed cannot permit himself to doubt. He will there— fore continue to cherish the hope that, upon a careful review of the whole subject, her Majesty's Govern ment will see the importance of adopting other mea sures for the suppression of the slave trade than those now proposed, and which will be far better calculated, not only to accomplish the object desired, but to pre serve the friendly relations of the two countries upon principles consistent with the interest and honour of both. The undersigned avails himself of the occasion to re new to Lord Aberdeen assurances of his distinguished consideration and respect. A. STEVENSON. To the Earl of Aberdeen. ROYAL SPORTING. Frederick William was passionately fond of the chase, and had in his youth a narrow escape from a furious stag, which, in the rutting season, would have gored him with its horns, had not Schulenbeig, the page, gene rously interposed to save him, and lost one of his eyes. As soon as lie had ascended the throne, be drew up a precise calendar of the plat-s and seasons for the diffe rent kinds of sport. Regulnrly on the 28th August the King arrived at Wusterhausen ; the Queen, with the Roycl children, was obliged to be there on the same day, disagreeable as the place was to her ; and here the Court remained for two whole months, engaged almost, every day in the most boisterous sports. The King expended considerable sums on his hunting establish ments and parks. He kept twelve whippers-in, who were required to be good huntsmen, good riders, and to hid his own horse, which, as all these — lii;i:ses were !utile to be hunted to death, was uever to cost more than thirty.five or forty dollars. Between thirty and forty other horses, and upwards of one hundred dogs, were kept for bunting. Though the game did a great deal of mischief to the husbandman, yet its destruction was prohibited upon very heavy penalties. The wild hogs did, perhaps, more damage in this way than any other species of animals. They had increased so incredibly in Pomerania and the Marks, that, in the boar parks in both countries, 3,662 head were killed in a single year, many of them of a size unusual in other parts, and some weighing from five to six hundred pounds. At these hunts a square inclosure of six to seven hundred paces was encompassed with nets, and from two to three hun dred wild hogs of al ages and sizes were driven into it. Here the hunters, two and two, awaited them with their boar-spears and hunting-knives. If a thrust failed or a spear broke, the sportsman was often seriously hurt. As the King exposed himself in these sports to every danger, be expected all who took part in them to do the same. When the dogs had seized the game, the most resolute of the hunters would hold the bog fast by the ears till the King came up and despatched it. No boar hunt took place without some narrow escapes. One of the most singular of these adventures Mel Major Ilaiik, of the G, eaadier Guard. At one of the hunts in Po merania, he had attacked a large boar, when his spear broke off short in his hand. The enraged beast ran furiously at him, and Haak escaped the sharp tusks of the boar only by spreading out his legs like the Colossus of Rhodes, and letting the assailant run between them. This manoeuvre was but partially successful ; the boar fairly carried of the Major upon his back, and, immi nently dangerous its was his situation, seated with his face towards the brute's tail, and holding fast by the latter, still the company could not refrain from a burst, of laughter. 'The boar, with his rider bawling for help, made straight towards Lieutenant-Colonel Munchow. This officer, hastening to the relief of his friend, aimed a thrust with his spear at the animal's side, and hit the Major in the calf of the leg. Dags and huntsmen at last came up, and delivered the rider from his dangerous position. The King also hastened to the spot, and, as Husk was a great favourite with him, it was agreed not to say a word to him about Munchow's awkwardness. — Campbell's Frederick the Great and his Times. SOCIAL IMPROVEMENTS IN RUSSIA. Among other social improvements the Russian Go vernment has been taking pains to promote the econo mical practice of insurance against the risk of fire among the farmers and peasantry on the Crown domains by way of example to other large proprietors. The im perial uppanages, situate in the Governments of Tver, Nejny-Novgoro I, and Saratoff, in which the attempt has been made to introduce fire insurance, contain altogether twenty-six thousand houses, 5,928 of which valued according to survey in 436,000 silver rubles, were assured in 1840 in the sum of 2 - 28,000 silver rubles, equal to 798,000 rubles assig nation. The sum of 1,230 silver rubles was divided during the year among the peasants whose houses had been burnt ; which was equivalent to the whole premium of per cent. paid into the capital stock of the insurance establishment. Taking into consideration that the number of heads of families who bad insured their buildings were in the proportion of one-fourth of the whole peasantry on the domains in the three Governments noted in the enjoyment of the right, it may reasonably be anticipated that the system can hardly fad to become general. According to the statement published for the year 1840 by the Board of General Direction of the Fire Insurance Association for the kingdom of Poland, it appea-s that during that term 1,317 casualties hail been reported to the Society, 131 of which were in towns, and 1,166 in villages. Ui the number, the association was interested for 73 in the towns, and under this head paid away indemnities amounting to 400,697 florins ; and for 787 in the villages, the compensation for which ascended to 1,444,885. The total value of fixed pro perty insured was computed at 601,866,350 florins, and that of moveables, the reliquet of 1839 inclusive, at • 71,059,978. The payments on account of moveable values destroyed by fire amounted to 92,829 florins. The system of " vidage loan banks," established also under the superintendence of the Government in the I nperial appanmges of the Governments of Saratoff, Vladimir and Viatka, is found to be favourable to agri cultural industry. In 1837 the primitive capital of t hese banks amou ited X 3,000 silver rubles , or the ace 80,000 rubles assignation ; and since then , that is, in sp of four years, tisi 4 capital, bring constantly and entircly employed, has been increase! 9,000 silver r ubles by the accumulated interest. It may be hof el that these examples set by the Im perial Government for impr ovin g the condition of the peasantry, industrially, social l y and morally, on the Crown properties, will not be lost, and cannot be even tually, on the great landed proprietary of the empire. The Government is gradually operating reforms in the most safe, and therefore the most durable, as well as the most encouraging manner, by making them first at its own cost, and so promoting them by the example of its own success and profitable returns, ii a.d. 0 0 I) 0 00 -9. -6. -3. -'. -B. s to I , 14. t the 4 ga [, for i 3 10 that .riled •••••••• -----
