It consists of two transparent painti ngs , w hich, fnout the method of their representation, are intended to einbodv or shadow forth the principles of a broad phi lanthropic system, advocated by Mr. Morgan under a full conviction of its fitness and adaptability to the present state of society. Mr. Morgan's institution appears to be a natural result arising from the combination of various systems, which, existing at the present time in England, but in a disconnected state, seem needful or.ly to be duly concentrated and joined, to form the harmonious plan he has projected, and under which he proposes to rear and bring up the generations and families of men. Practi ca l, rat h er t h an t h eoret i c, in its views, Mr. Morgan appears to believe that the ele ments of good, and the rudiments of institutive virtue are nowhere more largely to be found than in this country, and at this day ; and while he has busied himself in selecting these alone, to form the fair pillars of his own fabric, he has totally discarded the perverse and obnoxious features which so obviously are mixed up with, and deface many of these. Thus, while the unblameable economy . of Mr. Owen forms part of his system, he rejects his creed, and community oflabour, and substitutes in its place for the guidance of those whom he would proselytize, the sound principles of Christian doctrine. So that again, while he sides with the Reformers in his views of education, he for gets not, like them, their religion. The theory of "self-support," from which this institution derives its name, is as follows : As a mode, of improving the condition of the people it is proposed to form, in the cen t re o f an a d equate extent of land (not ess than one thousand acres) buildings upon the plan exhibited, in which, under the management of ecclesiastical and civil governors, to be appointed, 300 families, or 1,200 persons (averaging four to the family), may b e en abled, by the produce of their own labour, contentedly and independently to support them selves, by employment in agriculture and other handicraft and mechanical pursuits, but chiefly the former, and defray the expenses of the establishment under which they live. Wages it is proposed to put of sight : each agricultnral labourer, without the intervention of money, receiving wholesome food, clothing, and religious culture, in return for his or her specified labours in the field. Cow. petition, we therefore observe, which among political economists is accounted the main-spring of pro ductibility and trade,. is in this institution shut out from consideration : abilities also, while they are gently developed, ace never overtasked to satisfy avaricious cravings on the part of the work man, or over-demand by the master. Rules and regulations, it is true, will exercise their force over this institution and its inmates, but the latter will rather he guided by the just prevalence of moral laws per wading their breasts, and the sway which the pru dential dictates of religion undeviately have upon right minds. The buildings in Mr. Morgan's view represent a large square, consisting of 300 cottages for 1,200 persons, besides various official halls and residences at the angles and centres, for the infirmary, clergymen, governor, committee, &c., besides windmills,' factories, a laundry, &c. The outay necessary f or the forma tion of these is estimated at 45,8001., to which is added food and clothing for • the first year 14,2001., making the total capital required 60,0001., which amount it is proposed to raise in shares of 201. each. The value of the labour of the 1,200 persons being fairly computed for the year would give 18,6311. 125., froni which the food and clothing expenses being subtracted, a balance of 4,17 . 11. 12s. would still he left at the year's end. We give this simply as the calculation of the projector. PEEL'S REASONS TAXES. The reasons assigned by Sir Robert for additional taxation are—a deficiency in the income, compared with the expenditure, of about 2,400,0001. He abandons at once what he calls " the miserable device of fresh loans." This, though it comes rather late, is right enough; but let it not be forgotten, at the same time, that it comes from the disciple of the men who, —first, to carry on an unjust war against the liLer ties of France, and then a necessary one with the giant that sprung out of the injustice, resorted to "the miserable device" to the extent of some four hundred millions, and who, within the fir s t t wo years o f peace, bor4wed some fifty millions more—a portion of the last sum, by the way, to make good th e very. Income tax whichi even a lore House of Commons thought toobad to be reimposed. Sir H. Peel's conclusive proof that the limits of tax. ation on articles of consumption have been reached amounts to this,—that the attempt of the late Chan cellor of the Exchequer to raise a revenue of about 1,900,0001. from articles of consumption, by an ad ditional duty of five per cent., produced little more than 200,0001. An honest statesman' of tolerable courage would have held a very different language. He would have said that a defic;iency of 2,400,0001. was but a trifle to a great and powerful nation of eight-and-twenty millions of people, if the springs of their industry were relieved. He would have said that within the last four years there had been as many bad harvests. He would have explained that in these four years the people had paid on the article of wheat alone, exclu sive of other "bread stuffs," sixty millions sterling beyond what they paid for the same article in the pre , ceding four. He would not have forgotten to state that in the same four years the people had paid up wards of four millions into the Exchequer as duty for corn, besides larg e sums for provisions. 'He would have explained that they were, at the same time, called upon to pay for sugar, rum, molasses, and coflee, in consequence of the acknowledged ina bility of the British colonies to furnish an adequate supply, such excessive prices as no other people pay, and such as they themselves had' never paid in the days of their prosperity. He would have stated, that having such enormous sums to pay for the ab solute necessaries of life, it followed, of necessits, that they had less to pay for comforts or luxurtP's, and that, under such circumstances, the declin e in the revenues of Excise and Customs was a mat ler of course, and inevitable. He would have shr,-, wn th a t the monopolies of corn and sugar were a bar rier to the extension of our foreign trade—raised against us manufacturing competitors hi countries where they might not otherwise have existed for cen turies—were an injury to foreign nations as well as to ourselves—excited feelings of envy and hatred on the part of foreigners towards us, diminished the pro fits of, our merchants and manufacturers, and, conse quently, their capacity to give bread to labourers, thus throwing hundreds of one class into the Gazette, and thousands of the other into the poor-house.-- Examiner. 7 TEAM TO SWEDEN AND NORWAY For CHRISTIANSAND and GOTHENBURG, her Majesty's Mad Steam-packets INNISFAIL, JOHN MOF FAT 1., R.N..

A large proportion availed themselves of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, an d i n th e evening the terminus at Haymarket was surrounded by an im mense crowd. According to the Glasgow Herald, the five o'clock train from Queen-street (the Glasgow terminus) was so densely crowded that it had to be taken up the incline in two divisions, and when it departed only a single carriage remained in the railway yard; a circumstance which, we b e li eve , has not occurred since the opening . of the line." We understand the number booked at the. Edinburgh station was 1,729, of which 717 went to Glasgow. Almost the whole passengers returned in the evening. The aggregate number t ra velling along the line to and from the different stations is calculated to have been upwards of 4,000. On the Dalkeith Railway there were the immense number of 6,661 passengers, being nearly 700 beyond any sirrillar day. The steam-boat s to diff eren t parts in the Frith, and the various stage-coaches, were al.° crowded beyond all former precedent. The only accidents we have heard of were that of a man falling out of one of the coaches on the Glasgow Railway, and that of another having got his foot struck by one of the coaches on the Dalkeith line ; but neither of then were seriously injured.—Edinburyth Paper, DUTCH PAPERS.

A meeting, convened by the Political Institute, was held on Tu.-sdav, at the Crown and Anchor, " for the purpose," as the notices expressed it, " of considering the best steps to be taken in the present alarming crisis." About one thousand persons were present. The Chair was taken by Mr. Cameron. The CHAIRMAN cungratulated the meeting on the progress which the Chartist cause has made: The time was when they found it difficult to get a place in which to assemble. Now the most spacious and prominent places of meeting were avail. able to them. Public opinion expressed through them had been put down by armed ruffians; but at that moment dele gates from various parts of the country were there assembled, to state the sufferings of their various localities. They could judge of the progress their cause had made by the manner in which Mr. Sharman Crawford's motion had been received in the House of Commons. On the occasion of that motion Sir Robert Peel had boasted of his pr o phe c y w ith res p ec t t o the Reform Bill, but he forgot to state that he had himself fulfilled his own prophecy.--( Hear, hear.) He (the Chairman) trusted they would be coon in a position to present Sir Robert Peel with a different argument, in the advanced organization of the people. —( Cheers. ) Letters of apology were read from Mr. T. Duncombe, M. P., and Mr. Lc ..der, M.P. . The CHAIRMAN said that no apology had been received from Mr. Wakley. The SECRETARY (Mr. Parker) proposed a resolution in favour of increased exertion in behalf of the name and princi ples of the People's Charter. Mr. BALLS seconded the resolution. Mr. Bazasrow, member of the Convention from Notting ham, supported the resolution. Class legislation was the evil with which they were grappling. They were determined to wage eternal war with it, and to give it no quarter until they not only annihilated it, but all the corrupt principles which through it were engrafted on our institutions. Mr. Fs:Annus O'CONNOR came forward, and was received with loud cheers. He had often before sworn allegiance to the Charter and its principles, but as a good thing could not be done too often, he then repeated his vow of alle giance to the Charter in name and in principles.—( Cheers. ) fheir cause, as the Chairman had said, had greatly pro gressed; hut he did not, as some did, expect much conces sion from their present Tory Prime Minister. His opinion was, that if the Whigs were devils, the Tories were devils in hell.—( Cheers.) They had nothing to hope from Toryism. When it was weak, it was cowardly ; when strong, it was tyrannical.—(Cheers.) Therefore the people should go against the whole system in bulk, ark not depend on any of the factions. The people would certainly do so. They were every hour be coming more politically active. Sir Robert Peel was forcing them into political intelligence. Every man worth 1501. a year would be certain to be politically informed.—( Cheers. ) The Tery Prime Minister had become one of the greatest pro • moters of the Charter.—(Loud cheers.) They had been told that the Charter was buried; but after seven years, since its first agitation, the Chartists were more ripe and ready for action than ever.—(Cheers.) On Monday next the trades would carry the muster roll ad the nation to the House of Com mons, surrounded by the delegates, who were commissioned to seek fur full representation for the people. They were the only associated party in England capable of putting down Toryism.—( Cheers. ) He therefore called on the Whigs to join them ; but unless they did so in name and in principles they should not join them at all.—(Cheers. ) Delegates from Wiltshire, Glasgow, Midland Counties, and Lancashire, addressed the meeting. After which the resolu tion was carried unanimously. • A resolution in support of the General Convention, and pledging unabated exertion to procure the pardon of Frost, Williams, and Jones, as also of all political offenders, was agreed to. . . _ Several Delegates addressed the meeting in support of the Charter, and called for a numerous attendance at the proces sion on Monday next. —The meeting then adjourned. CIVIL ANI) COMMERCIAL JUS TICE IN FRANCE. The Moniteur.contains the report of the Minister of Justice to the King, on the state of civil and commercial justice in France for the year 1340. It occupies nearly twelve columns that Journal. The following resume, however, embraces all alit contains of general interest. The first portion of the re pnrt relates to the Court of Cessation. It states that the num trof new appeals to this Supreme Court, in 1840, was 549, which was about the same as in 1839, but very inferior to that of preceding years, and the Minister announces that it had beets for some years gradually decreasing, which he ascribes to a mere perfect comprehension and more perfect application of the law by the other Courts of Justice. The report next proceeds to the Cours Royales. It appears that the -number of causes inscribed in these Courts throughout tha kingdom in 1840 was 10,517, being 573 less than in 1639. The number of undecided causes standing over from 1839 was 6,936; of the total number 11,539 were decided upon in 1840, so that the number standing over at the end of that year was 5-16 lass than at the end of the year 1839. Of the 11,5' - auses tried in 1840, 866 had been entered on the re gistry of the Court for more than two years ; 3,234 from one to two years; 3,627 from six months to one year; 1,623 from three to six months; and 2,169 were decided upon within a period of three months from the time of their being inscribed. On 6,778 appeals from the civil tribunals, 4,671 judgments were confirmed; and of 1.654 appeals from com mercial tribunal=, the number of judgments confirmed was 1,158; the rest in both cases were quashed either wholly of partially. The number of new causes entered for trial be fore the civil tribunals in 1840, was 125,051, being exactly 1,000 more than the average of the three years preceding 1839, and 5,678 more than in the year 1639 taken alone. To these 125.051 new causes were added, 50,519 standing over from 1839. Of the whole number 135,119 were tried, leaving a much smaller arrear than in 1839. The period of time during which the causes had been inscribed is stated as follows for 125,205 only,- the returns being clearly made out only for that number .=-47,450 were tried within three months; 22,409 within from three to six months ; 31,619 from six to twelve months; 16,783 within two years ; and 6,854 after the lapse of more than two years. 743 of the suits were for separation de corps by married persons, and 3,642 for separation of property. Of the 743 suits for sepa ration de corps, 642 were granted, and 3,589 for separation of property. The number of suits for interdiction in cases of insanity or imbecility was 598. The number of causes before the tribunals of commerce in 1840 was 170,323, of which 5,828 were standing over from 1839. Thl decisions in 1840 amounted to 164,190, leaving 6,135 undecided. Of the 16,190 causes 41,864 were tried by the tribunal of the Seine ; 7,320 by the Tribunal of Lyons; 4,225 by that of Rouen ; 4,197 by that of Bordeaux; 2,478 by that of Marseilles, and 2,363 by the Tribunal of Toulouse. The number of appeals from deci sions of the Commercial Tribunals was only one in 76. The report states that the number of declared commercial failures in 1840 was 2,618 ; whereas the annual average from 1817 to 1826, as stated in a general return in 1831, was only 1,227 ; of 1,826 failures declared in 1840, and of which the amounts could be clearly ascertained, 114 were under 5,000 f. ; 287 under 10,000 f.; 914 under 50,000 f.; 251 under 100,000 f. ; and 260 above 100,000 f. The total amount of delats in these failures was 123,194,066 f., being an average of 67,477 f. for each. The number of causes brought before the 2,846 juges de paix of the kingdom was 904,219, to which were added 6,221 standing over from 1839 ; 901,089 were decided upon in 1840, and 9,351 were left standing over. THE SLAVE TRADE. BREMEN, APRIL 19.—The Tribunal of the Ist instant, in the proceeding: against Captain Sudenburg, of the Bremen ship Julius and Edward, which, on its voyage from the Ha vannall to Cabonda, on the west coast of Africa, with a cargo taken on board at the former place, was captured by the Engl . sh British cruiser Persian, commander Thomas Edward Symonds, has decided that there were no sufficient grounds for the accusation against the Captain of being engaged in the slave-trade, that ship and cargo shall be placed at the disposal of Captain Sudenburg, and has condemned Captain Symonds, in damages and all the costs, the amount of which is to be settled by the Court. A summons is to be issued requiring Captain Symonds to appear and state why the sentence should not bo carried into effect; in default of which he wil he considered as deserting from all objections to the amount of damages and costs which will be awarded by the Court.— Ha ni burgh Correspondent. We extract the following from a letter from Oran, April ;1, in the Constitutionnel :—" In the late combat with General Bedeau, Abd-el-Kader commanded about 5,000 men, and had under his orders a chief renowned for his talents and bravery, named Abilallah-Ben-Semoun. This man, who is a native of Fez,lreceived large sums from Abd-el-Fader for join ing his party, as the Emir hoped by his means to effect a rising in the west. The brave conduct of the French troops put a etop to all these plans, and Abdallah-Ben-Semoun de termined on retiring. He could not, however, make up his mind to depart without committing some robberies. He passed over to the Beni- Hourni and the Oued-Thaia, at the extreme trontier, and pillaged those unfortunate tribes too weak to offer him resistance. General Bedeau is now in pursuit of these binds. Should our Government send to Sultan Muley- Abder- Haman to complain of the conduct of his subjects, the fact of these troops being inhabitants of the territory of Morocco w ill be denied. The chief, who commanded the Kabyles of Morocco, not showing any distinctive mark of his country, it will be no easy matter to prove the fact of his being a subject of Morocco. But this is no new case. In 1836, just before the combat of the Tafna, Abd-el•Kader was wandering about with 50 horse men, apparently abandoned by the tribes, when on a sudden he made his appearance with 12,000 men, and forced back Gen. Darlange, with the loss of the tenth part of our troops. How slid the Ernie procure these troops ? We learnt how after the battle, far the men lying dead were nearly all from Morocco, and the cartridges were all of English make. if on the late occasion General Bedeau had been repulsed like General Dar lange, the consequences might have been disastrous, for the conquest of the country, although far advanced, will not be definitive until the last shot shall have been fired. A single re verse on our side would be quite sufficient to re-establish the fortunes of the Emir. If we were satisfied in 1836 with the exc u s es made by Alorocco, shall we be equally so in 1842 ? The army hopes the contrary." GRANITE. The beautiful light tint and fine tex ture of the granite of Dartmoor, and the almost unlimited size of the blocks in which it is procurable, together with the fa cilities which exist for procuring and transporting it, are bringing granite into use in the place of stone of inferior q ualities. The ease with which the Fogginton granite may be worked, and the magnitude and regularity of form of the blocks in which it is detached in the quarry, together with the economy of its transit, often obtain for it a preference to Scotch granite, which had hitherto almost commanded the market. The western face of London-bridge is of Dartmoor, and the eastern face of Scotch, granite. Fine specimens of the former are to he found in the basements of several important public buildings in London erected of late years; it is employed in the new buildings of the Fire-offices now in progress near the Bank of England, and we understand that some of the granite required at the Royal Exchange is also supplied from the Fogginton quarry. The pedestal of the Nelson column in Trafalgar -square, is built of Fogginton granite, and the whole of the structure is to be of the same material. The slowness of progress of this column, of which we had thought the public had reason to complain, was occasioned by a strike of the quarry masons in London against the eminent contractors who are engaged in the execution of the work; but this has now been obviated. The same material will form the statue of King William the Fourth and its pedestal, by the young and fast -rising sculptor,Nixon, about to be erected in the City. COURT CIRCULA R.

SOUTHWARK IMPROVEMENT BILL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Perhaps either you, or some one of your many correspondents, can gi ve m e an d th e pu bli c some information respecting the fate of a Bill en titled " The Southwark Improvement Bill, No. 1." Three sessions back 30,0001. was granted by Par • liament towards forming a new line of street from somewhere about the Town Hall in the Borough to run in as direct a line as possible into Stamford street, Blackfriars-road, so making a quick and easy route to the West End, from the terminus of the several railways, likewise greatly releasing Cheap side and the City from its superfluous carriage traffic. Now it is whispered about that, after all the parade, and expense of those endeavours, one in the last and one in the present Parliament, the public are to be disappointed of this great improvement. It is said that this line of street, so much approved of by the Committee of selection, is abandoned in the Com mittee, after the second reading of the Bill ; but I ask why—if the best line—why give it up, and choose a worse ? Really I cannot understand this seeming child's play, and trifling it cannot be, because a certain high Church dignitary refuses permission to improve Church property, without having an extravagant price for permission so to do. I cannot think that the fault rests with the liberal Messrs. P., who so patrioti cally said, they would give the ground, for the line of street through their estate. Then I again ask, how is it that the Bill is in the shade for the second time ? Surely it now remains for Government to see to it, that metropolitan improvements are not made a mere matter of trade, or speculation ; so that certain parties, finding that there is nothing to be gained, after leading the public to expect great things, give them up as a child does a toy, and laugh in their sleeves in the bargain. R. Stamford-street, 26th April, 1842. [Our Correspondent will see from the Parlia mentary Report, that the sub:ect came before the House of Commons on Tuesday evening, and was postponed for a week.] SUDBURY.—Mr. Redington, the Chairman of the Sudbury Election Committee, has given notice of a motion on the 10th of May, for leave to bring in a Bill to exclude the borough of Sudbury from sending Burgesses to serve in Parlia ment. That motion will test the Premier's metal. The will of M. Aguado was opened on Friday, in the presence of M. Debelleyme, President of the Civil Tri bunal. A courier has been sent off is Florence, with intelli gence of the event to the deceased's eldest son, who is residing there. The following particulars relative to M. Aguado are collected from the Madrid journals, and the Mode, Paris journal :—"M. Aguado did not die of fatigue, as has been re ported. Far from that, after the long walk which he was obliged to make, his secretary, who accompanied him, wrote to Madame Aguado : Your husband is of iron. lie has put us all to shame by his exertions.' On his arrival at Gijon, he was in good health, and although no devotee, asked for the church. He entered it, and remained kneeling for two or three minutes. He then examined the altar and chapels, and, seeing them but meanly decorated, said to the person who was with him, ' Remind me of the poverty of this church.' On his return to the hotel, he read several letters, which were wait ing for him, and, after haying done so, sat down to dinner. It was then that the sudden change in his appearance was per ceived. Ilis physician was struck with it, and inquired what was the matter. have something strange passing here,' said he, pointing to his head. He was immediately bled, but all aid was ineffectual. His stay at Oviedo was marked by va rious acts of benevolence. He gave to the hospital of that town 1,500 reals, and promised to give each year the charcoal required for the establishment, amounting to 6,000 reels. He gave 50 piastres to the convent of nuns at Oviedo, and had an intention of converting another convent, now abandoned, into a manufactory, which would have employed a great number of hands. M. Aguado's only companions on his journey were, his physician, 31. Mignaud, and 31. Segovia." ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.—A very nume rous meeting was held on Monday evening,' Admiral Sir Charles Malcolm, V.P., in the chair. The first communica tion was a paper front Sir Gardener Wilkinson, containing the particulars of a short trip in Upper Egypt, and especially in the Natron Lakes ; after which Mr. Cresson gave an account of some parts of the western coasts of Africa, and more immedi ately of the United States' colony of Liberia. This extends on a line of sea-coast of about 300 miles, from Cape Palmas to Cape Mesadura, and contains several fine and navigable rivers. From one of these, the river St. John, the distance up the valley across the country to a delta of the Quorra is but 150 anti this would seem to present a much more eligible route for future expeditions, with a view to the civilization of Africa, than by the late disastrous route undertaken by the Niger expedition. The colony of Liberia possesses the ruCvantage of having natives of intelligence and education who could explore the country which has proved so fatal to Europeans. As an instance of this great mortality, it was stated that of an ex pedition from America, consisting of four white and 164 coloured persons, whilst all the former perished within six weeks, but four of the latter died in twelve months. This part of the coast is also extremely rich in the products of aboriginal vegetation, particularly as regards palm oil, coffee, hemp, and various other plants furnishing fibres for making cor dage and other purposes. 01 palm oil alone upwards of 35,000 tuns are annually exported, and this quantity might be gres'.ty increased if European modes of expression were adopted irstead of the simple plan practised by the natives of boiling the palm nuts in their kettles. Mr. Cresson stated his deliberate opinion that it was only from this colony that future expeditions could be successfully carried on in the interior, and suggested as the most desirable point of approach, the agricultural town of Bexley, containing thirty families, called after the venerable Peer of that name. N sr.tr. ER PRESS BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION.— The annual meeting of this Association took place on Monday last ; Dr. Sheridan in the Chair. Mr. Knox, the lion. Secretary, read the Report, from which it appeared that si nce the last annual me e ti ng 2001 . h a d b een f un d e d in faveur of the Society, and that there had been a considerable accession of members to the Association. The election of officers for the ensuing year then touk place, and the meeting adjourned. The members present were highly gratified at the successful pro 'Tess of the Association, FOR MORE IfO r '
