Remembered the 22d Januai y the men cleansing the d eks. The Captain came up to a Wall named Wools. The Captain was then drunk. Witness told this to the Consul. 't he Captain took hold of Woods and pushed hint against another man. The Captain said something to Woods, but the witness did t,ot hear what. Woods made an offer with his hand<, and told him to keep off. Woods did riot strike the Captain, and Captain struck Wood• in the face. Re-exaniined-Woods struck the Captain, but he could not not say whether it was with his' hand or with a bar. Never saw Woods drunk. Clarkson conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Ballanttne delensted the prisoners. Mr. Cealticssx stated the case to the Jury. The vessel Ann Hall, was a regular trader between Liverpool and Charleston. In December last she left Liverpool on the voyage to Charleston, and on that voyage the conduct complained of took place. His Lordship would tell them, as a matter of law, that in order to make out the charges against the prisoners, it was not at all necessary to show that they intended to run away with the vessel. it appeared that in the present case the prisoners had no such in, t, nticn, fur notwithstanding that they kept the Captain con fined. and had the opportunity of runising away with her, they took the vessel to the port of Charleston, whither she was bound. He should leave it to the Jury to say, under the direction of his Lordship, whether the conduct of the prisoners had been such as to constitute the charge of, piratically seizing the ship. This prosecution had been instituted, not for the purpose of punishing with any degree of sev e rity th e p r i soners at th e b ar , but to hold out an example to people in their situa tion—an example which, for the protection of life and property, it was necessary should be held out—that they were not on account of any supposed grievances, to take upon them selves to say that they would not work a ship on board where they are sailors, and refuse to obey the commands of the catitain. On the 22d of January, when the vessel was in the Western Ocean, the first indication of disaf f ection, on the part of the crew, manifested itself to the Captaiii in the following; way : —The Captain gave orders to shorten sail, and whilst that order was being executed, Inkpen said, "D —m any such ship as this, and the platte it comes from; no b--r shall ever get me to sail in any h--y St. John ship for any b--y 2/. ss. a month." The captain asked him what he meant by using language like that, and he answered, " Oh, I never used no bad language-I'm a methodist." 1 hey were then standing on the quarter-deck. The Captain said to him, " This is no place for language like that—go for'ard." Inkpen made answer, " On board a merchantman I see no difference 'atween aft and for'ard; there's no quarter-deck on board a morchantman." The Captain did not reply to that, and the man went forward. On the evening of the same day, a man named George Woods, who was a sailor on be ar d, said "he wished a b--.y flash of lightning would come and take the mast nut of her." The Captain said that was a very foolish thing to say. for if a flash of lightning should destroy the mast, they would have to rig a new one. The man replied " Oh, it wasn't the mast I meant. it was von." The Captain then took him by th e co ll ar an d as k e d him what he meant by that. Woods immediately seized a piece of wood and struck him across the nose, when the Captain knocked him down. Inkpen then came up and said to Woods " You go away, and let me have a slap at the b—." Several other cases of insubordination occurred, the mate and every soul on board refusing to obey orders, as the witnesses wouid prove. The Captain shortly after called the men on to the forecastle, and asked them why they, struck work. They said that the provisions were bad, that the beet ann prtic were not good, ard they could not work because they were all diseased. 'the Captain then went into the cabin to consider how he should act, but when he wished to leave his cabin he found that the door had been fastened. He broke open the door with an axe, and then went upon deck, when he was immediately seized by the crew, who pinioned hta arms with ropes, and carried him below, put hint into his bed, and there left him; they shortly afterwards wets down and removed the ropes, and put haudeuffs upon him. lie lay in those handcuffs all the night, and was quite unable to help himself, and when he called out for something to eat, they fed him with bits of meat upon a fork, They then said, or affected to say, that be WRS mad; and one of them manufactured a strait-waistcoat, in which they I-ft him for one night and one day, when they released him, and occasionally, but very seldom, allowed him to go upon deck, and when tie did they always placed sentinels on each side of him. When the vessel arrived at Charleston the prisoners were placed in prison whilst the vessel was te.ladieg anti lading, and when she was egain ready to sail, the Consul told them that they might work their way back on board, when they would have an opportunity by good conduct of retrieving their cha racters; but nu, they wouid not do that. They had no objec tion to go back on board, but they would not work ; nor did they, with the exception of three of them. do one day's work on the whole of the homeward voyage, and the Captain was obl:ged to get a fresh crew to work the vessel home. 'I hese were the brief facts of the case. Witnesses would be called who would more in'nutely detail them, land from their evidence it would be for the Jury to say whether or not the prisoners were guilty of the charge ',out:edited-in the lad ctment. . . Captain Huntly Drown deposed that he commanded the ship Wellington. He arrived in Charleston about the same time as the Ann Hall. On his proceeding to the Consul's, he heard what had happened on hoard the Ann Hall. On the 20th March witness went to the Consul again, and he then saw the prisoners at the bar. 'the men were on board the ship. Rutherford was called aft, and the consignee tried to persuade him to go to - xork. They asked him if he had ever had any words, or had ever quarreled with lLe Captain. They asked him why, then, did he assist in confining the Captain. He mid, iu answer, that he did not know what the Captain night do. Witness re. commended him to go to his work, and persuaded the other men to do so. He said, "It is no use talking; we have made up our minds not to work. Witness asked him if the Captain was in the habit of gi iting tipsy, and he raid that he had hi en tipsy once, and he thought he was tipsy when he struck the steward. This was the ease for the prosecution, anti. Mr. BALLANTINE addressed the Jury for the prisoners. The Learned JUDGE having summed up the evidence, the Jury returned, at the suggestion of Mr. Garkson, a verdict of guilty of an assault against all the prisoners. Sentence was deterred. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH. STREET. (T II IS DAY.) Edward Mason, a shabbily-dressed young man, was charged with stealing a sovereign under the following circumstances : George Monford, of No. 6, Ampton-place, Essex-atreet, Bethnal-green, shoemaker, stated, that about ten o'clock last evening as be was proceeding. along Oxford -street, near to Charles-street, So;m-square, with a sovereign in his hand, which he had just received for some work he had taken home, it slipped between his fingers and fell on the pavement, when the prisoner, who wa s c l ose b e hi n d hi m , instantly fell on his knees and picked it up, as he (prosecu tor) firn ly believed. On the sovereign being demanded of him, he denied having it, but on attempts being made to take it from him by force, he put something in his mouth and swallowed it, and directly afterwards said, " Its where you cannot find it now." he was in consequence given in charge to the police. Mr. HARDWICKE asked the prosecutor if he could swear that he actually saw the prisoner pick up the sovereign? The prosecutor said he could nor, but the sovereign certainly fell on the spot over {N h ich the prisoner knelt uown, and when he rose up it was not there. Mr. HAIIDWICKE said that there was no dotibt but that the prisoner had had the sovereign and swallowed it ; but the direct proof of his having done so was deficient, and he must therefore be discharged. CLERKEN WE LI.-(T11 IS DAY). James Cam)li, a lad of 16, was charged by Mr. Daly, fur rier, Saffron-street, Clerkenwall, with stealing 86 martins' skins, value 501. It. appeared that the prisoner was formerly an errand-boy to the complaina n t, w h o ou t o f ki n d ness ma d e him his apprentice. Since then he has frequently absented himself for days together from his business, and otherwise grossly mis conducted himself. Last evening the property in question was missed ; the prisoner was immediately suspected, and on in quiry it was found that he recently lodged in a brothel in a lane off Holborn. Mr. Gumcwoon said he would remand him until Tuesday, and if there was nut suffi•rient evidence to commit him then, he would punish him as a disorderly apprentice. HENLEY REGATTA. SECOND DAY-WEDNESDAY. The sport was first-rate, the weather exceedingly fine, and the attendance exceeded, not only in number, but in condition, the races of any previous season. The disappointment upon the withdrawal of the Oxford boats, and the confusion attend ant upon the general disarrangement of the list, had been got over, and the bridge, the towing-path, the stands, and the beautiful hills, u hich rise in succession on the Berks shore, a ere covered with tpectators. It was the Derby of aquatics. The trial races had been gone through, and the expectant mul titude were anxiously anticipating in the struggle for the re spective valuable p:izes and honorary distinctions a scientific and gratifying exhibition. At three o'clock, the judges having taken their places in the grand stand, and D. Bishop, Esq., the umpire, having taken his seat in the cutter, manned by picked London water man, preparations were made for the first race, for the Capt. Juhn Lazenby Arrest, the tirst witness called. deposed that he was the commander of the Ann Hall, trading between London and Charleston. 1 he men at the bar were employed on hoard.' Thty were all common seamen but hattray and Rutherford. Ruthurfoid was second mate. The whole of these men went out in the vessel from London. She sailed on the 18th December. On the 22d January, being then in the Western Oceae, witness ordered the secend mate to have the ship scraped. But he being engaged he gave the order to the chief mate, and the people in chief mate's watch refused to do the work. They said it was illegal -work. Witness said if that was illegal work they must set about and clean the in side of the ship. While they were cleaning the decks wit ness gave an order to shorten sail, and Piper said " No b should impose so upon him fur 2/. os. a month." He said that loud enough for • the whole of the crew to hear. He was then or, the mizen-topsail-y ard, and witness told him to keep such lan guage to himself, acid Piper' replied, " I am a Methodist and never do anything wrong." When he came down witness told him not to use such language aft, and he replied, " I don't see any difference in a merchant ship between aft and forward." The crew set about cleaning the decks, and Piper said, he wished to God a flesh of light ning would come and burn the master out of the ship. Wit ness lifted him up by the collar, and asked him what he was saying, and he immediately strut* witness. In consequence of this blow, witness was three weeks under medical aid in Charleston. Witness, as soon as he received the blow knocked the man down, and then Piper took hold of a belaying pin. At this time Inkpen came forward and said, " Let use have a spar at the b--r. "fhis was on a Saturday, and after it was dark witness ordered a rest to be let out, end two of the men on the mizen topsail-yard said it was too dark to see the points. Wit ness ordered the second mate to take a lantern, and while he was doing so the men let out the reef. Witness turned out about halt-past one the next morning to give an order that the studding-sail boom on the foreyard should be reefed. Witness then turned in again, and on hi rising at six o'clock he found that his orders had not been obeyed. Witness sent for the chief mate, and asked why the order had not been complied with. '1 he chief mate said he had not had time, and witness sent for the second mate, and he commenced abusing witness, and said he would inform certain pa; ties of his (wit • nes3) behaviour. He said . he would not work any mote. In the aftet noon of the Sunday, it became necessary to send down the main roe al-yards. Witnesseold Rutherford to take a block and line irom the deck, and send the yard down. Rutherford said, " Is the block to eat?" anti witness again ordered him to take the yard down. Soon after it became necessary to take in sail, and witness orciesed the men to come on deck. They were Say-fire minutes in coming up. They then furled the whole of the sail:. Witness told the chief mate to take down the main yard, and every man in the forecastle re fused to do so. Wenese took the chief mate into the foe castle, where the men were, said asked them their reason for disobeying orders ? and they said they were disables'. One said he had the rheuina , kn, and another said he had the lum bago. The next morning they again refused to work, anti they said they would not wock, because the beef and pork were hate \ stness told theta, that if the previsions were bad, or lie had ill-treated them, to complain to the proper autho rities in leharleston. They said they would nut work. Wit- Less has eaten better provision-, and he has eaten worse. 1 he provisions were not bad. W tint ss then went into his cabsis, and on his attempting to come out again, he found that he was fastened in. Witness then took a hatchet and cut down the door, and came on deck with the axe on his shoulder, and the carpenter came behind him, and threw him down, and ',aliened his arms. The crew then carried him into his state room and lauthim on the bed. Shortly afterwards the chief mate came in. He said, Take care of yourself, for they are up to something now." They immediately after came into the room, Piper said we consider you mad, and we are going to give the ship in charge tease chief mate. Thee took hold of the chro nometer, and Williams said " Don't shake her." Witness was on the bed with his arms tied. He struggled out of the bed to save the chronometer, but did not succeed. '1 hey left the room, and shortly afterwards Williams got some pork arid bis cuit, and gave to ei itness with a fork. Witness got out on the deck, and walked the deck with his arms pinioned. Witness asked them to take off the lashings. '1 hiy took them off, and , then put willies* in irons. '1 hr handcuffs wt re too small. Witness remained the whole night in it ors. In the morning his wrists were much ea mien. '1 hey then took the irons off, aid witness went on deck w ith a rr an on each side. They kept watch upon him all day. In the even leg, Inkpen tame up to witness with a sti ait- aiscoat, and said I have got something that will be more comfortable than irons,' and he put the 'waistcoat on witness. 'The waisteuast was made of coarse canvass and bands. The sleeves were roo short, and sown up at the bottom, so that his hands could not go through. In consequence of this, his hands were cramped up and were sore for a month. 1 he next mortising they took the waistcoat away to lengthen the sleeves. Witness begged of them not to put it on again, for he could not go through another night, They then left the waist coat in the room, but placed a guard over the witness. Oat the Friday following witness asked them if they intended to be com manded by him, and they said no. They said he had had too much indulgence, and he must not be allewed to walk the deck. He was then etsuffised to a small cabin until Sunday. On time Monday they would not allow him to go on deck. 'I he next day they received a pilot on board. and shortly after they came to an anchor, and on 'the Monday following they entered the town. The crew would not allow him to go on shore, and he wrote to his consignees. The pilot took the letter. The Government officers were sent front the town, and witness was released. The pilot had then command of the ship. Vi itness went to the Consul and re— lated to him the circumstances, and the men were sent to gaol. The ship sailed again on the 28th of February, and the prisoner, with the exception of Rutherford, Piper, and Inkpen, were put on board the vessel by the Consul's orders. They refused to work the ship, and were taken as passengers. Witness had no difficulty whatever with his new crew. Rutherford, Piper, and Inkpen were left in gaol in Charleston, and had been arrested since their arrival in England. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—WouId swear that he had not beers many times drunk in his life. Witness took the command of the ship in November, 1840. He was before that time her mate. VS ould swear that he was never unable to attend to his duty from drunkenness. The part of the ship the men were ordered to scrape was nut dangersus. The men did not refuse in consequence of the weather being squally. Would positively swear that be was not drunk at that time. Scrubbing the decks is called hollystorting, or laying their prayers. Did not taunt themen with obliging them to say their prayers. Never said to the men that he would take them to the Bay of Fundy, and freeze them up. On the Saturday before this °cells rence took place, witness said to the men that he would make a floatingkhell of the ship. On the day the men refused to work, he had not taken more than half a bottle of wine. There were some broken bottles about the cabin, but the reason the bottles were broken was that he had no cork-screw, amid in gi tting the corks out, the neck. of she bottles wese broken. While he was in iri us he said he had taken poison. There was a quantity of poison in the ship, and he tried to upset it, to pre wet their putting any- into his victuals. The carpenter sew him attempting to do this, and lie reported it to the crew, arid they asked if he had taken any, and he said I have taken enough to du Ale." The only reason he took up the poison was to spill it, to prevent the crew from poisoning him. Wit ness asked one of the crew to make his will, and first com meoddig his soul to God, he aisle sed of his property in Ireland. Be•erawit.ed—The seamen ieavitig Isoedon for Charleston ate paid bs. each in advance. It is very difficult to get seamen in Charleston, and often 81. to 1111. a month is paid. This often induced seamen to run to Charleston. James Kelly deposed that he was an apprentice on board 'Stewards Challenge Cup, value 75 guineas. The Dreadnought and the Midge were the opposing parties, and the boats were manned thus:— LoxDON.—'l he iiiidfit(t.:niVersity Qualification. )—Messrs. Maberley, stroke; Powis, Pocock, Stuart. Steerer, Churchill. HENLEY..--The Dreadnought Cutter Club—Messrs. Page, stroke ; thithwaite, Forest, Ives. Steerer, Tagg. It was a very indifferent race. The Midge took the lead, kept it, and won very easily. . The next prize was the District Challenge Cup, for four• oared boats, now extended to amateur club. belonging to any of the towns on the banks of the Thames from Windsor to Oxford (both inclusive), established at least one year pre vious to tho time of entering, and whose members shall no, be resident members of the Universities, or members of any Uni versity Club. The competitors for this were the following WINDSOR.—The Windsor and Eton Boat Club—Messrs. W. Long (stroke), Aiu, khouse, G. Long, Dodd. Steerer—E. Long. OXFORD. The Dolphin Boat Club—Messrs. Beckett (stroke), Leach, Bossom, Cowley. Su erer—Jackman. OxFonn.—The Isis Boit Club—Messrs. Williams (stroke), 'enables, Wadlowe, Short at t. Steerer—Chamberlain. A very excellent race took place, in which it was clear that the whole of the crews were first-rate as amateurs. The three boats went off beautifully together, and for a few yards were level, the Isis then showed her head about a yard in a,l vance of the others, which advantage was but temmirar3, the whole three being again oar and oar. A spirited struggle fol lowed, in which the combatants strained every muscle for pre cedence. The Windsor and Eton, by dint of superior power, got the lead and kept it, winning by half a length, or a trifle more. lhe Lis was about the same distance in advance of the (Filer boat. The grand race, " the Derby" of the day, was yet to come, and the sporting interest was very considerable. The recent struggle in London between the Cambridge aid Oxford boats had induced much diversity of opinion on the merits of the Cambridge-room's and the University boat, and large sums were laid out at evens. It will be remembered that the Room's boat in London came in pos-ession of the chief prize at this regatta last season, in a conlest between them and the Leander. The race on that occasion was not rowed out, a foul having taken place about five minutes after the start, and the umpire deciot. Mg that, according to the conditi ons o f t hi s regatta, a f ou l, however accidental it might be, lost the party making it I be race. just before five o'clock preparations were made for this great event, the holders being as we have described, and the antago nist party. the winners of the race, among s t the chailengers. The Cermet Chall-nge Cup, value 200 guineas, open to any crew composed of members of any of the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, or London, or schools of Eton nr Westminster, or the Officers of her Majesty's Army or Navy, or to any Club es tablished at least one year previous to the time of entering. 'l he ciews were:— LONDON—The Ceimbridge Subscription• room's moat Club. Messrs. Beresford (stroke), Selwyn,Jones, Ritchie, Lonsdale, Urpleby, Shadwell, Yeitman. Steerer—T. Egan. UAMBRIGE.—The University Boat Club. Messrs. Ridley, (stroke), lion. G. Dtnman, Royds, Cohbold, Vials, Watson, Hon. L. Denman, Tower. Steerer—J. Pollock. It will be seen by the above list that Mr. Vials has taken the place of Mr. Penrose in the University boat since Sa!ur day, and that Mr. Egan, who steered that boat on Tuesday, in its contest against the challengers, was found in the London room's boat, his loss to the University crew being supplied by Air. Pollock, a very able steerer, and the brother, as we un derstand, of the gentbiman who took the yoke-lines in the match of Saturday. Both crews bent forward on the signal being given, and start, d away together. The Univeisity boat a peared, after a few pulls, to be heading, but a trifling spurt and they were as at the moment of going off. The Room's-boat then made a dashing effort for "the pride of place." and gained it by about a lout. Heavy and long pulls followed each other in rapid suc cession, but the Room's-boat still headed by about a foot and a haF, and the acclamations of the multitude were not lost upon the compe;itors. The Reom's-boat crew tried to increase their lead, but without effect. It was difficult work to retain the advantage they had gained, nor could the opposing party over haul them. The London Subscription Room's Boat Club won by a third of a length only, amidst deafening plaudits. The Dreadnought rowed over the course for the Town Cup, which closed the sports of the day. TILE LICHFIELD Housu SALE.--The sale of the valuable furniture contained in this mansion ....laded yester day. The house has been thronged with visitors during the week, attracted to view the superb services of plate which form the subject of to-morrow's auction.

The two Spanish Princes and suite visited the Thames Tunnel yesterday afternoon. The General Steam Navigation Company's vessel, the Ocean, :last, front notterdmi, arrived off the Custom House, at e►ght o'clock, A. tit., this day, with the Dutch Mail. We understand that in consequence of the pre carious state of health of the King of the French, the visit of the Prir:ce de Joinville ' who was erroneously stated to have embarked on board the Grand Turk for Southampton, is post poned sine die, and the King and Queen of the Belgians, who are expected to embark at Ostend for Woolwich, to-morrow or Saturday, will remain in comparative refit ement at Windsor Castle, instead of Claremont, doting their sojourn here. The Court o ill, it is expected, leave Buckingham Palace for Windsor on Monday next. FOREIGN WINE.—From a return to the House of Commons of the number of gallons of foreign wine imported into the United Kingdom for the past year it appears, that out of a total of 6,460,724 gallons on which duty has been paid, the consumption of Cape nine over French wines has been no less than 65,632 gallons, the returns being, 441,883 gallons of Cape, and only 376,251 gallon: French, Portugal has sent into the kingdom during the same period, 2,481,345 gallons, at.d Spain 2,542,471 gallons. Madeira stands low upon the list, it being only set down at 121,638 gallons, which is only a t hit d in 'elation to the French wines, and scarcely a fourth part of the Cape. C f Rhenish, 58,103 gallons have been admitted. M. AND MISS M. B. HAWES'S CONCERT.—The annual concert of Mr. and ?Hiss M. B. Hawes was given last evening in the Queen's-room, Hanover-square, to a numerous and fashionable audience. Mr_ John Parry's "Berlin wool," and "Mama is so very particular," greatly enlivened the con cert. The superb " OGod, have mercy upon me," of Men delssohn Bartholely, sung by Miss Hawes, called down deserved plaudits. Miss Fanny Russell, Miss Birch, and Mrs. W. Loder also sang some equally charming songs. The instru mental performers were, Madame Dulcken, Mr. Lindley, Mr. Blagrove, and the 'Messrs. Loder, whose names need only be mentioned as o enmity for their execution. LONGEVITY OF A WHOLE FAMILY.—A couple were lately married at Mingat, in France, when it appeared from the tighter of the church, that the father of the bridegroom bad died at the age of 101, the mother 100 years old—the father of the latter bad lived 104, and the mother 95 years. T 1 1 ..: LONDON., .. _ Tlll suN 1 , TUVESDA.. Jelitt 31842. THE LEVANT MAIL. TURKEY. CONSTANT2NOPI,F., MAY 27.—The representatives of the Powe , s are this morning engaged in a conference with Scrim Effendi, tEe 3linister. of Foreign Affairs, at his house on .the Rosilorus. It is supposed to have reference to the affairs of Syria. Mohamed Pacha, late Governor of Angora, has been appointed to the government of Tripoli, in the place of Ashkar Pacha, who has been withdrawn in consequence of the ent.r.• getic representations of Sir Stratford Canning. This is the fourth functionary of that rank whom he has caused to be disgraced. Although the transactions referred to in the annexed note may be intrinsically of no great importance, and though, as far as the interests of the parties are concerned, the Porte may consent to a satisfaetory arrangement of the question, still it involves a principle, the discussion of which, from the very careless way the commercial treaty was negotiated here, will have to be revived, at a moment, too, when the pressure and multiplicity of other business renders such additional embarrassment peculiarly inconveniert. You are aware that one of the boasted effects of that treaty was the abolition of ail monopolies. In reckoning, however, on this enlightened concession of the Poi te, we reckoned, it appears, somewhat without our host ; for in the Turkish version of the treaty the word monopoly is rendered loy a phrase (iedi rabid) (single hand), v, - 11o , e application is at once much more li mited, and much more indefinite. There are other gross oversights in the treaty, both in the spirit and in the letter, which call for immediate revision. NOTE OF SIR STRATFORI) CANNING. " The undersigned, her Britannic Majesty's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, has the honour to submit the following remarks to his Excellency the Alinister for Foreign Affairs : • " Repeated complaints are addressed to me of the injury done to our trade by the refusal of the authorities at Salonica to allow the salt imported there by our merchants to be sold in the ordinary way. Several large cargoes of that article have hien now detained for many months, to the prejudice and heavy loss of the importers. This is not only a gross injustice to the individuals concerned; it is also a national injury, inas much as it operates to the discouragement of British trade, and is also an infraction of our commercial treaty with the Porte. The only reasons alleged for the refusal are, that salt is a re served article, that it is produced at Salon:ea, that the sale of it is farmed, and that the interests of the farmer, and consequently of the Government, will suffer by the importation and sale of other salt. It ,is true that salt is a reserved article in some countries ; in Turkey, also, it may have been so formerly, but there is no such reserve in the treaty. The second article stipulates the suppression of every monopoly, without any ex ception whatever, as well as the liberty of trading in every kind and article of Turkish produce. This must be deemed conclu sive. Had the Porte thought proper to make any reserves, they should have been expressed in the treaty, and in that case no doubt the sacrifices made by Great Britain in consenting to a large increase of the duties would have been diminished. With respect to any inconvenience or loss devolving upon the Porte, in consequence of the treaty—it may or may not be a reason for proposing a reconsideration of its articles by mu tual consent ; but it will not warrant a refusal to give effect to the existing stipulations, especially when that refusal is ac companied with a heavy loss to individuals trading on the faith of those stipulations. Had the trade in salt been prohibited at Salonica, notice should have been given to the merchants. They looked, no doubt, to the provisions of the commercial treaty, and finding no exception specified there, embarked their capital with confidence in the traffic of salt. They fiive therefore a just claim on the protection of the Minister ; and the Porte, who has merited reputation for scrupulous at tention to treaty engagements, cannot but do justice to the representations of her Majesty's Ambassador. In truth, the question has , already been decided by the Porte itself. No less than two years ago a case similar to the present occurred at Yanina, and the Grand Vizier of that time did not hesitate to comply with the representations of the British Embassy, and to give orders for the sale of the salt im ported, grounding his decision on the commercial treaty, and expressly directing that-every facility should be given to the trade of the English in salt, as in every ether article. The un dersigned avails himself of this opportunity to repeat to his Ex cellency, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the assurances of his, high consideration. (Signed) " Pera, May 12, 1842." STRATFORD CANNING. The day before yesterday the old veil or covering which had been removed from the Prophet's tomb at Mecca, and which, agreeably with the custom at the commencement of every reign, had been replaced by another, the gift of the present Sultan, was carried in procession to the seraglio, where it was deposited with other relics of the same description. An application was last week made by Baron de Hubsch, the Dan;sh Minister for a firman, authorising the passage through the Dardanelles of a frigate having on board Prince Frederick de Hesse Cassel, nephew of the King of Denmark. The Porte, however (somewhat uncourteously, I think, considering the occasion), has refused to grant the firman, alleging for ex cuse the provisions of the treaty of London, by which ships of war are excluded from these waters. EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA, MA 26.—The Mahmoudieh Canal has again been tilled with water, so that travellers will not have to contend with the same d:fficulties as unfortunately they ex perienced this month. The Pacha will also be enabled to bring his produce to market. He is much in want of money ; he lately borrowed a considerable amount frcm the European merchants established here. His troops are still twenty-three months in arrears. Great discontent prevails amongst them at this ill usage. The Paella this morning determined to levy the three per cent. ad valorem duty, reserving to himself the right of all inland and other municipal duties. Although this measure is perhaps the least burdensome on trade, it is in direct opposition to the hatti scheriff, which established fire per cent. at places of import, in lieu of every other inland duty. All the Sultan's firmzns, hatti scheriffs, and treaties of com merce, are quite dead letters with the Pacha, and always will be so, as private interests and his open bribery of the Constan tinople officials conduce to such ends. The accounts which reached us from India say, that the steamer India would not leave Calcutta before the Ist of May, consequently she may be expected at Suez in the beginning of next month. 'I here is a report in town that the English Government is making arrangements, with that of Austria, to convey her India snails from Ostend, across Germany to Trieste, and from thence by the Lloyd steamers direct to this. They say also that the Danube Company will scam be again plying from this to Con, stantinople. MALTA. MALTA, JUNE 5. Slurs IN ---The Queen, 110, hearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir E. W. C. R.

TO ifIS IiOYAL HIGHNESS DON CA ALOS, INFANT Of' SPAIN, &C. " Although still suffering from the effects of a slight indispo sition, I answer myself the despatch delivered to me by Don A. 'F., during an audience which was pleased to grant him for that purpose. " I pass over in silence those p sints of the proposition which you submit to me in the above-named despatch to which I have no objections to advance, and I enumerate those only which appear to me susceptible either of considerable modification or of total rejection. " I shall subscribe to the mart age which you propose to me between my august daughter, I. he very legitimate Queen of Spain, and his Highnes s th e Pence o f the A ustrias. How. ever this convent on my part mar un counter with the views of a powerful Throne, which have! ong been entertained, it is my duty, for the prosperity of my we‘.-beloved subjects, and urged on by circumstances, to unite with sour desires. It is gratify. ing to me to give you this uner uirocal proof of my affection. On your own part weigh this important concession, which touches me both as a Queen and as a mother, with the just weight your balance ought to contain. '6 I should wish, however,t hi this alliance were not con cluded until a year after the defeat of him who has usur lied all my powers—powers which arc.) be restored to me immedi ately after the establishment of peace. " Although, as a servant oft a e Lord, I respect the mis fortunes of those even who have suffered for you, I cannot, however, receive as a condition th eir restoration to high and public offices ; and the less so, ast he Cortes of Constitutional Spain cannot regard with confidence Ministers who might, in some respects, appear suspicious. " The very reason which I have here alleged would suffice, if neeessary to prove to sour Royal Highness that it does not enter into my views to deprive Spain of a Constitution, although at the same time, I must admit that that which is now in force necessitates certain modifications and ameliorations. " It is my pleasure to believe, that after mature reflection you will regard things more temperately ; time advances, and flies, and in its progress it carries us onward, and impera tively commands us ; iu a certain measure, therefore, we can not evade obedience. "I also desire that all my objections, which I make only after a well-weighed examination into the details of your propuSition, may be appreciated to their just wine, and that, without fur ther hesitation, you should commence, with the enterprise projected between us, the regeneration o f a country ^— dear to both, —Your affectionate, ,ually " April 11." 111.

BRIGteroN, JUNE Is.—An adjourned meeting under this fiat tank place to-day a' the Town-hall before Messrs. Merri field, Turner, and C. Cooper, ihe Commis inners. At the opening of the Court the Commissioners gr.ve th#.ir decision in the ((liaising ease, which was gene into yoterday.' At a meeting held in Brighton in November last, the Rev. J. S. M. Anderson was appointed Secretary, and Mr. I. N. Wig ney, Treasurer, of an auxiliary to the African Association, and a sum of money in a bag collected at the meeting was handed over by Mr. Anderson to Mr. Wigney. On the Sunday after the fat are Mr. Wigney offered to return him the bag, which had never been opened. Mr. Anderson refused to take it, and it was ultimately handed over to the assignees to abide the decision of the Commissioners. Mr. MERRIFIELD now stated that the Commissioner had decided that the money being' held by Mr. Wigney merely as a trustee, it therefore might be given up. Mr. I. N. Wigney's examination by Mr. James was then resumed.—My father's will contained a clause directing the executors to wind up his affairs, but the executors (my bro thers George and William, myself, and my mother) never did so. The deficiency of th e b an k at the time of my father's death was known to all the executors, and was spoken of, but ne pro position was ever made for supplying the deficiency. It was hoped that the debt of Cochrane and Co. of Glasgow (17,000/. ) would be paid, and that the concern would be productive of profit. At this time it was anticipated that Mr. Clement Wig ney would join the bank. I - le was to bring in his interest under my father's will. I think he was not aware of the ex tent of the deficiency of the bank, but 1 have no doubt he was aware there was a deficiency. Mr. C. Wigney said, he certainly knew that the account of Cochrane and Co. was overdrawn, but he had not the slightest idea of the losses by the speculations mentioned yesterday, or he certainly should not have taken his property into the bank to be lost. Mr. I. N. Wigney—l never told my brother Clement of the loss of 23,000/. by speculations. i-le brought into the bank 15,826/. ; and during his partnership he has drawn out the whole of that sum except 21/. There was no sum of money set expressly apart out of my father's estate to meet the defi ciency; but there was a sum to which I looked in the event of a necessity occurring. It was Bank and India Stock. I availed myself of this to the extent of 12.0001., and placed the amount to the credit of the executorial account. This took place to supply funds, pro tanto, to the bank. The 58,000/. owing by the bank at the time of my father's death has all been liqui dated, with the exception of 5,2111. it;y housekeeping and personal expenses, from the 3d of Novemb,r, 1837, to the 4th of March, 1842, amount to 11,250/. 19s. 3d., the education of myyhtldren to 1,072/. 'The bankrupt vas then examined by Mr. Bennett.—l do not know how much gold there was at the bank on the evening of the 3d of March. There was not I,COO/. I did not take the balance. From the book it appears that on the following day there was at the bank 691. in gold, MW. in Bank of England notes, and 1901. in silver. In your balance-sheet there is an item of 27,5941. 3s. 10(1. in liabilities to Messrs. Masterman and others, believed to be good. How much of that has been paid ?—All except one bill. When all the liabilities have run off, Messrs. Masterman will be indebted to the assignees to the extent of 2,0031.35. Mr. George Wigney's name is endorsed on bills to the extent of 13,000/. He began to et& rse biils for me during the last year. My account was overdrawn, and Mr. Masterman said it was desirable to have a name on the bill. Now, Mr. Wigney, did you receive any sum of money for withholding your resignation after your bankruptcy 2—No. Have you not stated at the Reform Club that your last elec tion cost ?—I think I stated to some gentlemen who manage the business of. the Reform Club relating to giving as sistance to candidates, that my election had cost, or would cost, about 2,000/. Lord Lowther, M.P., made my wife a present of a goA enamal watch ten years ago. That watch was lost two or three %ears ago near the Elephant and Castle, and a reward was offered for its restoration, hut without effect. How many clubs did }on belong to?—One in Brighton, and two in London. I was a witness at the trial of Lord de Roos. I have occasionally played at short whist since 1837, for crown or half-crown stakes. I have played as high as 20s. points. Did you ever lose 20/. at a sitting? 11lr. - Creasy objected to the question, which he said was put '0 gratify a vindictive feeling, and not with a view of benefiting ;he estate. Some warm language here ensued. And the admissibility of the question was argued at considerable length by Mr. Creasy and Mr. Bennett. he COMMISSIONERS decided that the question could not be put, inasmuch as it had a tendency to invalidate the bank rupt's certificate. Mr. Clement Wigney was then sworn; but the only ques tion put to him was one relating to the bond to his wife's trus tees for 5,000/. At the time he gave it he had nothing but what his father allowed hire. Mr. BENNETT then opposed the passing of the binkrupt, on the ground that he had destroyed the documents relating to the Glasgow affair, where nearly 70,000/. had been ingulted, and that he had not taken a proper course on discovering the loss of the 7451. Jamks, on the part of the assignees, said, that as zn adjournment could not be productive of any benefit to ti estate, the assignees did not ask for an rdjournment. Mr. CREASY then addressed the Commissioners in favour of the passing of the bankrupts, and contended, in an eloquent speech, that Mr. I. N. Wigney, fallen and erring as he was, was still not criminal, and did not merit that the Commis sioners should, by refusing to allow them to pass, ratify and adopt the censure which had, during the last four months, been most unfairly cast upon him, and sent forth to the whole of the civilized world through the medium of the press, without any opportunity being afforded him of reply. l'he decision was postponed till to-morrow (this day), at one o'clock. DR. REID'S LECTURES ON CHE YIISTRY. Metals, and their liability to oxydation, formed the subject of Dr. Reid's .ecture last night at Exeter Hall. The uses, he observed, to which metals were put, both in every-day life, and the at ts that embsllish that life, *ere so countless, that there would be less difficulty in enumerating them, than in repressing that enumeration. he mightiest. or most singular among these, were the steam-engine, the printing-press, and the small steel spring, on which the whole mechanism of the watch depend, d. The readine-s of metals to unite with oxy gen, naturally led the Doltor to !he consideration of oxyda tion, their chief characteristic ; this process in iron assumed the form of the red rust ; in copper that of the green. Of those metals which do not oxydate, Dr. Reid mentioned, gold, silver, platinum, and mercury : consequent upon this fact, therefore, at tic.es in use, or such as were desired to last with out any kind of corrosion attaching to them, are generally com posed of one or other of these. Platinum, it had been as serted, existed in large quantities in certain mines, but at so enormous a price was it at present in the markets, that the lecturer knew of 10,000/. and 15,000/. having been paid for the construction if a boiler, of which platinum chiefly entered into the make, but which was not capable of holding many gallons. The fusion of metals in some districts was carried on to so great an extent, that unhealthiness inevitably per vaded whole districts, from the fumes. Three factories in Wales, to the Doctor's own knowledge, evolved annually no leis than 80,000 tons of stephur in a state of vapour, carrying along with them portions of the copper, minute and invisible. Damp and acid atmospheres were the chief causes of the oxy dation of metals; if the air could be rendered absolutely and chemically dry, iron, kept therein, would be preserved from rust, corrosion, or deterioration, for an indefinite period of time. Water, again, if entir e ly re l ease d f rom it s ox y gen , will allowiron to be kept bright under water for months. The most power ful agents in the solution of metals were acid and chlorine, the latter being the most potent of the two, and formed by admixture of acids. In support of this statement, Dr. Ri id proceeded with a series of experiments, illustrative of the solubility of gold and platinum thereby, which, with some accompanying remarks, concluded his lecture. It appears that the great room in which Dr. Reid usually lectures, being in requisition next Wednesday, for a third grand display of the classes of Mr. Hullah, who, in common with Dr. Reid—is another great improver of the public mind_ that iEsculapius yields for that night to Apollo—and the lecture of the latter, thus postponed for a week, will prolong the course to the first week in August.

BIIENOSAVRES. By advice: via the United States to the 30th of March from nuelios.-Ay;es, and Gth of April from Monte Video, inclusive ; we learn that considerable dissensions existed between the com manders of the forces opposed to Hosas in Entre Rios, and President Rivera appears to hare withdrawn from the compact. Business at both places was exceedingly "dull. At Buenos- Ayres there was corniderable excitement and fear am4lngst the shopkecp rs, owing to several individuals having been assas sinated, no doubt by the " Alashorca Club." One very respect able shopkeeper is represented to have been killed whilst sitting in his warehouse or shop by several men who entered in dis- guise and shot him. The Buenos-Ayres fleet, which had a decided ascendancy over that of Monte Video, was off the latter port; no action, however, was likely to take place, and under such circumstances there seemed no immediate prospects of a termination of these troubles, as the separation of the Monte Video torces from those of Corrientes and Santa Fe scarcely left any expectation of success against Rosas by land, whilst, on the other hand, he would not be able to overthrow Rivera. I: is to be hoped that tur Government will interfere and bring about a settlement between these two countries, which are so interesting to British interests. Exchange at Monte Video, 440. to 45d., and at Buenos Ayres, 3&d. per dollar. The mails via Rio Janiero had left Monte \ ideo on the 30th or 31st of March, but they had not yet reached England. These dates are about three weeke later from Monte Video. and ten days from Buenos-Ayres, than those previously to hand direct. THE GARRISON OF GHUZNEE.

There were about 25 officers and 700 men, sick included. The sepoys could not hold their muskets, and the Ghazis re ferred to in the P. S., perceiving this, closed upon and destroyed them."

Buller Eliot, Lord NEW MUSKETS FOR THE ARMY.—Mr. W. Greener of Newcastle-on-Tyne, had this day the honour of an interview with his Royal Highness the Duke: of Cambridg', to submit to him his new single and double-barrelled muskets, made by order of the Board of Ordnance. His Royal Highness was pleased to express his high approbation of the simplicity and lightness of their construction compared with the old musket. Experiments are about to be made by the Board of Ordnance to ascertain the extent of advantage belonging to Mr. Greener's muskets, which we understand to be 31b. less in weight, and therefore less burdensome to the soldier, besides commanding greater accuracy and range in the flight of the ball. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS; ' 'nom Tlte . MOII . NI: , i'G 'PAPERS OF TRIS DAY. Tnins.—The English Funds to-day have presented feature whatever beyond the mere maintenance of yesterday's prices. which the ordinary run of business enabled the jobbers to effect. Money was rather more in demand, although no absolute want of it was fat, as the settlements iu the Foreigq. Stmel: sod share Mai kets drel7 off some of the floatin capital. The exchange of the light sovereigns at the Bank of Eng land causes a constant scene of bustle and confusion, although the business is divided into three departments, sums not es. ceedinc , 1001. being taken in the Rotunda, not exceeding 500/. in the 'Hal, and all above 5001. in the Bullion-office. Although this division must in some degree tend to lessen confusion, yet, it is thought there are not enough clerks to give all the faeility that is desired. Yesterday it is understood 70,000 sovereigns were taken. A party who then applied at the Bank bas sent the following letter, which gives rather a new view of the sub ject : " TO THE EDITOR OF THY: TIME " Sir,—For the information of these who can muster fifty sovereigns, and wish to obtain the highest price fur thew, think it hut fair they should be acquainted with tL•e difficulty, &c., in so doing. I yesterday tzok fifty to the Bank of England, and before I could be attended to was kept at least two hours. When the sovereigns were put in the scale, behold they could nut weigh them for want of proper weights, but they could manage 49k. Then, Sir, they hate no grains ; consequently, if they weigh 23 grains (worth ;:is. 9d.) beyond the penny.. weight, the Bank has the benefit of it. in addition to the bolt pennyweight (worth Is. 11 Ad. ), which they place in the scold against the seller. So that while the Bank professes: to give the highest price, refiners, who will give 3/. 17s. 6d. per ounce. actually give more, treat you with respect, and attend to sots immediately, and give all they profess. " The following is the amount. I realized for 4.9 i sovemignti —VV. 13s. bd., not more than 31. 17e. tid. per ounce. " 1 am, Sir, your obedient servant, ANOLD SLTBSCIUHEII." _ ...,—.. The disastrous accounts from St. Domingo h ave . nattinaly created the greatest excitement among the merchants rem. nected with that island. (inc great source of consolation is, however, that the intelligence from the Cape to Pert-au- Prince (whence the news has arrived), is only verbal, and therefore it is hoped that the amount of calamity may have been stated at a rough guess, anti may not prove so great as is now reported. At the same time the private letters that have been received from Port-au-Prince express great alarm at the fact that no person had been there from the Cape s i nce a period of four days, whereas the Journey does not occupy more than three days, and there is a constant intercourse be. tween the places. Limbe, the Governor of which sent his. yr AL to the Cape to ascertain the state of affairs, is about six. leagues distant, and it seems that the intelligence verbally brought by that gentleman first to his father at Limbe, and, afterwards to Port-au-Prince, comprises all that it known to the present moment.

There are , parties still sanguine eniough to hope that it will be duly forth coming, while others ate in expectaticn that every effort will, be made to procure the neeessaty amount, and that, although may not be announced, yet, it will be punetually forthcomint;na the first proximo. Many, on the other hand, contend that, la ir money will not be obtained, and that the bondholders will be, &v. formerly, left in the lurch.

THE LIGHT SOVEREIGNS.—It is not true that the very hot weatherhas led to the Queen's proclamation on the sub ject of " sweating sovereigns." We understand, however, that Sir Peter L aur i e h as p l ace d a ll hi s ready cash in an ice -house, in order to keep the gold from getting into a violent perspira tion from the intense heat that has been lately prevalent.
