TWENTY-SEVENTH CONGRESS-SECOND SESSION.-SENATE. CASE OF THE FORMOSA AND CREOLE. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 22.—Mr. Barrow said he bad a memorial entrusted to his charge, from an Insurance Company of New 'Orleans, which, from its importance, he trusted, would excuse his trespassing for a few mo ments on the time of the Senate, while he briefly reca pitulated its contents. The memorial states that during the past year, a vessel sailed from Richmond to New Orleans. That the memorialists insured thirty eight slaves, which were on board that vessel, against capture or seizure by the British Government. That the vessel was wrecked, and a wrecking vessel took off the captain, crew, and slaves, and carried them to Nassau, in the Island of New Providence. That while the vessel was moored in the harbour, without having touched the wharf, she was boarded by persons in the dress of British sol diers, who carried the slaves to Nassau, where after some show of official proceedings, the slaves were liberated from the custody of their owners. These slaves belonged to a gentleman of Richmond, of the name of Templeman, who was moving to the South, and when he learned their fate he abandoned them, and applied to the insurers for indemnifica-, tion. One Company paid the demand ; but the other contested it—for there were two Companies, who had taken this most extraordinary risk against the capture of American property in an American vessel, in a time of peace, by the authorities of a nation professing to bold friendly relations with us. He moved the -reference of the subject to the Committee on Foreign Relations, as he considered that the ap propriate reference, inasmuch as in his opinion it was a matter upon -the -proper adjustment of which was in volved the questionolpeace or war. _ _ _ Mr. CALHOUN said he seconded the motion. This was the care of the Creole, he presumed. Mr. BARROW—No, the Formosa, which occurred several months since. Mr. CALHOUN said he had been under the im pression that it was the case of the Creole. Many years since he had called the attention of the Senate and the country to this subject, and brought forth resolutions based on the laws of nations, which re ceived the almost unanimous assent of the Senate. The Senate would recollect the cute of the Enter p, rise which was the cause of the reiolutions he had referred to. But be regarded the case of the Creole as the most . threatening that had ever come in contestation between the two Governments. He considered. it most remarkable, that, while the hoardings and detentions g.,igur vessels on Abe coast of Africa, the border troubles on the North eastern frontier, and other matters of much less import ance, have received the attention of our Government, this case has been entirely overlooked. It is high time that this question was settled, and that the South should understand whether their property should be protected from spoliation or not. Mr. KING asked that the memorial might be read, and it was read accordingly. He then said he had long foreseen that claims for indemnity for property of South ern citizens seized by British authorities, would lead to serious difficulties between the two Governments. This matter had been progressing for years, and the attempt made to arrest it by the resolutions of the Senator from South. Carolina had been ineffectual. He foresaw with regret that it would lead to consequences deplorable to humanity. As far as he was acquainted with the sub ject, Great Britain utterly refuses indemnity for the property of our citizens taken from them 'by persons clothed with her official authority, and in a recent case she has even gone so far as to countenance and encou rage mutiny and murder. They had sheltered and pro tected the mutineers, and carried them to another and distant island to render their recovery the more imprac ticable. It was to this subject he had alluded yester day, when be replied to the remarks of the Senator from North Carolina (Mr. Mangoin), who anticipated no serious consequences would arise from the difficulties between us and Great Britain. It was the lawless 'at te npts Jif that country, in her ambitious graspings at universal.demination, which would render war inevit able nnleis she retraces her steps, and does what is just between DatiOn, and nation. He hoped that the memo and referred to the Committee on Foreignitelations, and that they would investigate the matter, and see what has been done, and what ought to be done. Mr. `igiiikitioSs said that in the absence of the Chair man ortiiipaommittee on Foreign Relations (Mr. Rives); he would but express the opinion that the suls ject- would receive all the attention its great importande demanded. He referred to the correipondence between the British Government and the lamented and distin guished late Secretary of State (Mr. Forsyth), and said that thicqueition.could hardly be a cause of difference between the two nations. The law of nations was clear and imperative on the questions in dispute between the' two nations, and he thought that Great Britain would hardly come in cOrtlct with this Government on such an untenable position. - The administration of that Go vernment was now in the hands of as enlightened and liberal•minded a statesman as ever guided the destinies of that great nation. He would express' the opinion, that notwithstanding what had fallcri from the very dis tinguished gentleinan (Mr. Rives) yesterday, much more conversant with such subjects- than he was, there were no difficulties between the two Governments which rendered the interruption of amicable relations probable. Mr. RIVES (who had entered the Chamber during the !marks of Mr. Preston) said be would only say one word. He understood the memorial was for in detnnity for slaves liberated by British authorities. Many similar cases had arisen during the last two years, which still remained unsatisfied. It was the character of the questions between the two Governments which rendered their relations eminently precarious, and which, in his opinion, made it a matter of the most imperious necessity to place our country in a state of defence. This was made the more necessary by the pertinacious refusal_of Great Britain to do justice, and the difficulty was made.the more serious by the occurrence of a re cent case, in which insurrection was openly encouraged. It was impossible to look at all these circumstances and not feel admonished of the propriety and necessity of making all timely and ppperpreparations for defence: Mr. Causoirsi . said he did not rise to participate in this debate, but to express his regret that so much was said in our discussions about peace and war with Great Britain. Other gentlemen' had expressed their views, and he would succinctly submit his. It was, that if the proper course of conduct was pursued by this Government, there would be no war. The two nations were so largely eng aged in commercial inter course, and there was such a vast amount of interests at stake, that there was a large peace party in both countries. If there was a war, it would be caused by the want of a prudent foresight on the part of this country to prepare for it. The first and most important step of preparation was a reform in the administration of the pecuniary affairs of the Government. For what did they hear from Gentlemen from every side of the Chamber ? That is e were less prepared for hostili ties now, than we were at the commencement of the last war. He did not believe this ; but ad mitted that we were deeply embarrassed in our financial affairs. This he attributed to the loose ness introduced into our financial relations by the surplus arising from the tariff of 1828—a system which it appeared was again to be forced upon us ; for he considered the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, as one of the most thorough tariff docu ments that bad ever emanated from the Department. He concurred with the Senator from Virginia (Mr. Hives) as to the flagrant character at the case of the Creole. He had a full statement of it, which bad been forwarded to him by a gentleman of New Orleans, cer tified by affidavits, and he had also the British account of the transaction, and, upon a full examination of the testimony on both sides, he considered it one of the most atrocious and insulting outrages every perpetrated by one civilized Government upon another. He consi dered it a case of naked piracy ; and our, Go vernment, as soon as the official report was re ceived, should demand the pirates for punish meat. It was stated in the testimony received by him, which was verified under oath, that when the Creole arrived at Nassau, she was boarded by a British officer, who, after he had heard the detail of the atrocities from the negroes, said to them, " You are foo!s ; you should have killed all the whites, and then there would have been no evidence." He trusted that this Government would be true to itself, and prompt and ample repara tion demanded, and if Great Britain refused to do us justice, he looked to every man who bad an American heart, to raise his voice and his arm against such tyran nical insolence and oppression. Mr. BARROW said, his object in presenting this me morial, and moving its reference to the Committee on Foreign Relations, was not that his constituents should be compelled to wait for redress upon the tardy move ments of negotiators. The matter bad become the subject of negotiation ever since 1830. His object was, that Congress should act, and set forth to the country and the world the principles of international law which were recognised by this country, and would be maintained by her at all hazards. He wished to trust this matter to other agents than the Executive and his Secretary, and the Secretary of the British Queen. The property of the South is unsafe, and it is to be subjected to the plundering propensities of British officials ; they would be compelled to fit out armaments, and destroy Nassau and other nests of "incendiaries ad jacent to our coast. Mr. RIVERS said, the Senate had already acted in the manner indicated by the Senator from Louisiana, and, at the instance of the Senator from South Carolina had.- -4,a.unanimous vote, passed a ( se l l ire; Cb of a I resolutions, lu tion s, embodying their views of interna tional law. If it was the desire of the Senator from Louisiana that these -p r i nc i p l es s h ou ld b e re - asser t e d an d r e.affirmed, he Was perfectly willing that such a course.should be adopted, and was prepared to go the whole length- - - - The Memorial was then referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. PHREIstOLOGICAL SOCIETY. MESMERISM. On Monday evening there was a full attendance of the members of this Society, at their Chambers in Exeter-hall. The Secretary, Mr. E. S. Symes, read the, minutes of the last meeting, which were confirmed, and S. Prideaux, Esq., of Southampton, was balloted for, as correspond ing member of.-the Society, and unanimously elected. The liev. Mr. Wood, M.A., was also unanimously elected a member. The President, Dr. Elliotson, delivered a lecture upon the connexion between Phrenology and Mesmerism. He said—l have always been scrupulously cautious in intro ducing the subject of Mesmerism at our meetings, on account of the difficulties opposed to- it, and the 'preju dices existing against it in the minds of mankind -; and I' would not do ahything to create a difference of opinion in the Society. But assertions have recently been made' in public, and opinions have been promulgated in society (and I see no reason against adopting them), that Ales merisna could explain some of the most important prin ciples of Phrenology. I was always aware - of the con nexion between them, as Mesmerism relates to the whole of the nervous system, of which Phrenology explains one part. There is the less objection to my introducing the subject here at present, as the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, with - Lord Brougham at _their head, and four of my late colleagues at the London University, who worried me at the University Hospital, have now borne public testimony to the reality and usefulness of Mesmer ism. This they have done in the last monthly number of the Penny Cyclopcedia. What is more remarkable, they have borne their testimony just as strongly, and just to the same extent, as I have done in my Physiology, for I have said no more than that one person can in fluence another in various ways, without the will or consciousness of th e p erson infl ue nced—that so one person can send another to sleep, and again awaken the latter at pleasure—and that he would know nothing of what might happen in the interval: I have said that this can be done not only without the knowledge, but even .against the will. But • I was at last compelled to admit more than this. I was com pelled from what I witnessed to admit that persons thus influenced were rendered insensible to pain even to that of severe burning, and of sharp surgical operations —such as the insertion of setons, and the removal of tumors. Yet to all these—mad as it must appear—l have been obliged to admit " vision without the eyes." Mad as it may appear I have seen it in the most un equivocal manner in three cases, where the eyes were blindfolded with the utmost care. Thick cloths were placed over the eyes and were pressed down with eye cups. In one of those cases, which occurred the other day at Paris, I put soft wool. over the eyes, and pressed it tight down with a thick bandage of new cloth, and filled Up. all the intervals with wool. When the patient was in this blindfolded state, I took papers out of my pocket . and held them before the patient, out of the line of vision, and that person read what was there printed. Such are the facts which are admitted in this article of the Penny Cyclopadia. I was also ogliged to adMit of "pre-vision," at least as to the state of the persons themselves. I hare not known any thing which Could be called prophecy ; but I have known persons to predict what would be the state of their own -health at particular times. I will not enter into any speculation as to this—whether it may be ac counted fur by supposing that they did actually foreknow the future state of their own health, or that imagination produced the change. But this sort of prediction is declared in the Penny Cyclopedia-to be INDUBITABLE ! The assertion is made distinctly,, and openly in the article on Somnam bulism, in to a case recorded in the French En iyelopmdia, on the respectable authority of the Arch bishop of Bourdeaux asg . "It is the case of a young ecclesiastic, who, was in the habit of getting up during the night in a state of som nambulism, of going to his room, taking pen, ink, and paper, and composing and writing sermons. When he ' had finished one page of the paper on Nvhich-he was writing, he would read over aloud what he had written, and correct it. Upon one occasion he had made use of the expression, Ce divin enfant: In reading over the passage, he changed the word divin' into ' adorable.' Observing, however, that the pronoun ce' could not stand before the word adorable,' he added to it the letter t.' In order to ascertain whether the somnam bulist made any use of his eyes, the Archbishop held a piece of pasteboard under his chin, to prevent him from seeing the paper upon which he was writing ; but he continued to write on, without being apparently incom-. moded in the slightest degree. The paper upon which he was writing was taken away, and other paper laid be fore him ; but the young ecclesiastic immediately per ceived the change. He wrote pieces of music while in this state, 'and in the same manner, with his eyes closed: the words he placed underneath the music. It happened upon one occasion that the words were written by him in too large a character, and did not stand exactly under the corresponding notes ; he soon perceived the error, blotted out the part, and wrote it over again with great exactness.", They say: all this without reference to Mesmerism ; but farther down they relate the case, of Jules Cloquet, thus : " It is that of a lady, aged 64, who consulted M. Clo quet, April 8,'1829, on account of an ulcerated cancer on the right breast, of several years' standing, which was combined with a considerable swelling (engorgement) of the corresponding' axillary glands. M. Chapelain, the physician attending this,lady, who had magnetized her fur some months, had obtained no other result than that of producing a most profound sleep, during which all sensibility appeared to be annihilated, while the ideas re tained all their clearness. HtFproposed to M. Cloquet to operate upon her while she was plunged in this magnetic sleep. The latter, having deemed the operation indis pensable, consented. The two previous evenings this lady was magnetized several times by M. Chapelain, who, in her soinnabulism, disposed her to submit to the opera tion, although, when awake, she rejected the idea with horror. Upon the day appointed, M. Cloquet found the patient dressed, and seated in an elbow-chair, in the atti tude of a person enjoying a quiet natural sleep. She had however been. thrown into testate of somnambulism, and talked with great calmness of the operation. She un dressed herself, and sat down upon a chair ; M. Chape lain supported the. right arm, the left was permitted to hang down at the side of the body. M. Cloquet delibe rately performed the operation, which lasted from ten to. twelve minutes, and the tumour was extirpated. During all this time the patient continued to converse quietly with the operator, and did not exhibit the, slightest .sign of sensibility. There was no mo ti o n o f the limbs or of the features, no change in the respiration nor iii r the voice ' • no emotion even in the pulse. The patient -eon tinuedin the same state of. automatic indifference and im passability in which she had been some minutes before the operation. There was no occasion to hold, but only to support her. A ligature was applied to one of the' thoracic arteries, which had been opened during the ex traction of the glands. The wound was united by means of adhesive plaster, and .dressed„,,;.The patient was put to bed while still in a state of somnambulism, in which she was left for 48 hours. An, hour. after the operation there appeared a slight hemorrhage, which was attended with no consequence. The first dressing was taken off on the 14th, and the wound was cleaned and dressed anew ; the patient exhibited no sensibility or pain, and the pulse preserved its usual rate. After the dressing M. Chapelain awakened the patient, whose somnambulic sleep had continued from an hour previous to the opera tion, that is to say, for two days. She did not appear to have any idea of what had passed in the interval ; but upon being informed of the operation, and seeing her children around her, she experienced a very lively emo tion, which the magnetizer checked by immediately set ting. her asleep. The only doubt or objection which the writer has ever seen raised with respect to the above case, is that it does not appear certain that the patient was not in a state of anaesthesia before she was thrown into the magnetic trance ; but this is so very far-fetched and improbable, that it is almost equivalent to confessing that the fact of an artificial state of anaesthesia having been produced is indisputable." They conclude the whole with these words, in which I entirely agree : " With respect to the .phenomenon of somnambulism as caused by Mesmerism, or animal magnetism, the writer only wishes to add most distinctly and explicitly, that so much credulity and deception have been brought to light in connection with it, that a person cannot be too cautious in sifting and weighing the evidence on which each of the alleged instances rests ; but that, after all this mass of knavery and folly has been cleared away, there still remain a large number of instances which cannot be disbelieved without discarding all his torical evidence whatever. For more information on the subject the reader may consult, besides the works already quoted, the Rev. Chauncey Townshend's work on Somnambulism, and Le Magnetism Animal en France,' by M. Bertrand, Paris, 1826." With respect to what some say of this case, that it was possible for this lady to exhibit such insensibility by the exercise of a very determined will, I can say that there is no ground for such a statement. Indeed, Dr. Cald well lately assured me that he put the question to M. Cloquet, whether any one could have borne the operation as that lady had done, with as little manifestation of suffering, in a natural state ? and M. Cloquet replied, " 3 - amais, jamais, dans le monde." But I have men tioned these things, Gentlemen, more to smooth my way in relating occurrences of a more extraordinary nature which have happened in America. In the course of the last month I have received a series of newspapers from America containing accounts of Mesmerism, from which it seemed that when an operator had reduced a patient to a state of stupor he could excite the _ . phrenological organs at will, that parts of the brain could be awakened and excited, and afterwards sent to sleep again: Dr. Elliotson then read from a New York paper an account of numerous mesmero-phrenological experiments performed at and in the Museum of Louisville by Dr. Buchanan and others. We insert the following : " August 7th.—At ten o'clock, A. M., in company with Dr. H. H. Sherwood, of this city, I went to the museum, and found Miss M. at the piano. In the course of a few moments she was put to sleep, when the following most interesting experiments were performed. I had not communicated my desigi?. to Mr.. Peale, or to Miss M., and, hence it is certain, that there could have been no collusion between them. She was directed to play several • - tunes, which she did, stopping various tunes, when a sign was made to Mr. Peale by myself. I then requested him to wake up the organs of tune. He did so, by simply, re versing the motions with his thumbs over those portions. He then directed her to , play one of h er f avour i te tunes, The Old Arm-Chair. She attempted, but immedi ately said, she could not remember the air!' - She said she could remember the words, and repeated them ; but could not play the tune. I next . requested him to mesmerise_ the organs of tune again ; and to reverse the motions over the' organs of language. He did so, and then requested her to play. She-commenced the tune, kit it crld not repeat the wards, Mr. Peale tried various w induce her to rapeA the words, but she as often signified' her inability to remain ber them. I then pointed out to him, - -without-464144, 77' THE ROYAL CHRISTENING. WiNneon, MONDAY.—A second rehearsal of the mu sic to be performed at the ceremony of the christening of the Prince of Wales took place this morning in St. George's Chapel, when two new pieces, which had been selected by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, both from the sacred compositions of Handel, were played for the first time, viz., a Martial Symphony from the Oratorio of Belshazzar, and a Grand March from the Oratorio of. Joseph, Handers Occasional Overture, and the Hal lelujah Chorus (the latter beautifully given by the Lay Clerks and Choristers of St. George's), were also re hearsed. It is expected that the Martial Symphony and the March from Joseph, played to-day for the first time, will be substituted for the Overture to. the Oratorio of Sampson, and the Grand March in Hercules, which had been previously determined upon. Amongst those who were present at the performances were the Earl of Liverpool, the Lord Steward of her Ma jesty's Household (who left Windsor for London imme diately it had concluded), the Rev. Lord Wriothesley Russell, the Hon. Mrs. Arbuthnot, the Rev. William Canning, the Hon. Captain Forrester, and several of the Officers of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), and the 72d Highlanders. Her Majesty has commanded invitations to be dis patched to the Right Hon. John Pixie, the Lord Mayor of Lendon and Mr. Sheriff Rogers and Mr. Sheriff Mag nay, to' be present at the ceremony in St. George's Chapel, to the grand luncheon at the Castle afterwards, and to the banquet in the Hall of St. George in the evening. Sleeping apartments at the Palace have been com manded to be prepared for the civic functionaries. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

SUGAIL—There has been .a fair demand for all de scriptions of West India Muscovadoes Sugar since Tues day last, and buyers have been compelled to'pay a fur ther advance of 6d per cwt. The purchases have been 1,000 hhds and trcs, and would have been on a more ex tended scale if the market had been better supplied and the merchants more disposed to realize. The arrivals have been light since this day week. The accounts received from the West Indies continue to be of a favour able description for the crop, and the make of Sugar is expected to be larger than that of the previous season. To-day both grocers and refiners were' desirouS t to operate in West India Sugar; the small and indifferent show, however, operated materially against business, and the purchses amounted to only . 300 hhds and trs at very full rates; 5,000 bags Mauritius declared for sale have beett postponed.

" He then re-mesmerized these organs, and reversed the motions over the organs of tune and eventuality; after which, she could not tell how old she was, or any event connected with her life: and in reply to the various questions which Mr. Peale put to her, she invariably de clared that she had forgotten, or did not know!" Dr. Elliotson then read very long extracts from the Bt Ston and Kentucky papers, which related a vast num ber of public experiments of a similar- nature, and with similar results, perforMed by Dr. Collyer, Dr. Buchanan, and others, but it is impossible to make room for them here. In each case, it is represented that the ()roans, as named by the phrenologists, invariably manifested, under the mes meric influence, the functions attributed to them. The rela tions excited the greatest surprise in the-meeting, and were listened to with deep attention. lie then stated that whilst these things were proceeding in America, expe riments precisely of the same character and effect were carried on in different parts- of -England by gentlemen who knew nothing of the operations of each other,•or of those which were going on in America. Ira-.bad sent down copies .of the American papers to Hampshire to Dr. Engledne, with a request that he would hand them to Mr. Gardiner, a gentleman of the highest respectabi lity and learning, the son of Sir James Gardiner, an old member of this Society. It happened curiously enough that when Dr. - Engledue went over to Southampton .to give the packet of papers (which he himself had not opened) to MT. Gardiner, he found that gentleman,. Mr. Mansfield, and others, actually engaged -in a series of experiments, which, on afterwards looking into the packet,, they found to correspond exactly with those of Drs . Buchanan and Collyer. Dr. •Elliotsoti then-read from the Hampshire Telegraph a long account of experi ments by Mr. Gardiner, from which we can only make room for the following : "I asked the patient referred to (a young lady ignorant of phrenology), when in the trance, with what part of the brain she kept a secret ? She replied—' On the side of my brain.' Upon asking her to point out the spot, she placed her finmer exactly on the organ of secretiveness in my head. I placed my finger on her organ of secretiveness, when she said, • Yes, just there where I am touching my head.' In the trance she. fancies , the two movements are identical. Having asked her where she felt anger, she placed her finger upon my organ of destructiveness. I inquired—where she felt hunger; her finger rested on my organ of alimen tiveness. I interrogated her as to the time: she was wholly unable to tell me. The idea then struck me- that I,might possibly enable her to estimate the hour by exciting the organ of time. With this view I rubbed the forehead gently at the required spot, exerting my. volition to the utmost, of course ; she very shortly exclaimed oh ! that makes me feel so odd.' I asked in what way? She replied, •It makes me know what time it is.' She then told me the time with almost .perfect accuracy. She would afterwards always estimate the lapse of time —intervals—with astonishing accuracy, upon my ex citing the organ of time on her forehead. Her linger rubbed on my forehead produced invariably the same results (this is true of all the organs). Upon my ex citing her organ of tune in the same way, she said • that makes me feel so very cheerful—it makes me like to hear some singing.' I requested her to sing. She persisted in asserting her --inability until I ener getically excited self-esteem, when she said, I'll try,' and she forthwith hummed an air. When her organ of colour was excited she exclaimed with animation " oh, oh ! I see green, yellow, purple,. &c., such beautiful colours." If when she was unable to dis tinguish an object clearly, I excited individuality, she in stantly perceived it distinctly. In the trance she is never aware of her locality, until the proper organ is excited. Upon one occasion I excited constructiveness, when she expressed a desire to make a cap-model, which she exe cuted upon being supplied with materials.—The organ called wit or mirthfulness being excited, she very soon began to laugh involuntarily, although I steadily main tained my gravity. I continued the operation, which produced an increase in her mirth until she fell into a continuous fit of laughter, exclaiming as well as she could—' I shall die of laughing.' Upon exciting her organ of destructiveness, her whole aspect and tone gra dually underwent the most marked change ; the milk of human .kindness ' gradually turned to gall and venom ; she pouted, frowned, threatened, stormed, clenched her fist, and finally became exasperated. Thinking I had gone far.. enough, I breathed on the organ with a view to reduce its activity, and she very soon became calm, losing every symptom of anger. The most beautiful results were elicited by exciting the organ of imitation. She commenced mimicking and imi tating with extraordinary.and ludicrous. accuracy seve ral peculiarities of her acquaintances ..and friends, not omitting my friend. Mr. Mansfield and myself in the act of magnetising. Suddenly by the exercise of my whole energy, I paralysed the organ, and instantly her power of imitation vanished. I re-excited the organ, when she immediately repeated-her wonderful iiiimickry to our in tense gratification." In a letter to the same paper by Dr. Engledue, con firming the statements of Mr. Gardiner, the writer says : " The dis , :overer of the true philosophy of ma's was compelled to leave the land of his birth ; and the philo, sopher of this country, to whom we are indebted in a great measure for the promulgation of the remedial power of animal magnetism, was effected from a- college boasting of its liberal foundation, , , .of , its liberal profes sors, yet not possessing sufficient . liberality to listen to the voice of truth." After having read those extracts the President stated. that Mr. Atkinson, a member of the Society, who was then in the room, had made similar experim, nts with the like success, of which he would . read an account at the next meeting. His statements were.confirmed by two other members then also present,: Mr. Kirby and Mr. Nodin. After a few words from those gentlemen in corrobora tion, and from Mr: Login. and other members, expressive of their curiosity, and of their conviction that the anb- , ject deserved attention and investigationithe .meeting adjourned. • HINT TO SIR IL INGLIsi--Goocl Sir, we intreat you to pause a moment, and think whether, dur ing the ensuing. Session, you bad not better advocate an " extension" of ovens; rather than churches. Believe us, the-people of England, it is bread and not Bishops, cheese and not churches, that we Want.— The Struggle. A good deal of laughter was excited by a joke which Lord, Stanley passed while the Earl of Ripon was speaking. The latter, when about to make the quotation from the, §eotch song c f " The Boatie Rows," it be recolleCtece:knid, " I b e g pardon of the Lord Mayor' if I should not read the words with the proper ac cent."' "Why don't you sing them ?" cried Lord Stan ley, to the great delight of the Aldermen opposite to him.

The Mitcham Anti-Corn-law Asssociation, in announcing a public meeting for Friday evening next, say they disclaim any party political motives • they therefore respectfully request the attendance of all per sons of every shade of political opinion at the meeting, and request their aid and co-operation. They respect fully call the attention of the public to the following statement of what, the Corn-laws has done to this dis trict :—" In the year 1820, there were thirteen print works on the river Wandle, in full and active employ. At the present, time there are only six print-works, and those not half employed. In 1820 there were upwards of 3,000 persons fully employed in the same. At the present time there are not more than 450 engaged at them and thex.i tf e..xpt.._ half employed. In 1820 there were paid per Ike sonic 3,000/ wages. At the present time 4001. per week is the highest rate that has been paid, whilst, for a considerable period, it did not reach 2001. per week. In 1820 there were exported to Prussia, 4,519,676 yards of printed and dyed calico. In 1838 there were only 430 yards of dyed, printed, and white calicoes exported tp„,the same place. 1838 is the last year in which the returns were made up. From 1820 to 1838, there has beena falling%ofr of printed and dyed calicoes, exported to Gerinany, of upwards of eight mil portion of the printed calicoes lions of yards. A large sent to - Prussia and G ermany were printed in this dis trict. The Corn-laws have been the means of our losing the manufacturing, printing, - : and o_ an - d A dyeing upwards of twelve and a half million yards f calicoes, through our refusing to take in exchange for our manufactured goods, the Prussian and German timber and corn. They now manufacture for th?rnelves, and rival us in the neutral markets. The Association, therefore, most ear- nestly, but respectfully,. call for your aid to repeal. those laws which are fast, hrieging the whole manufacturingsj community to one univ • e rsal rum, and will ultimately de stroy the -interests of t h e landowners themselves, by ruining the consumers of their produce. FIRE IN THE H A RRO w- R OAD.—In -the ac count of this fire, which apPeare in The Sun yesterday afternoon, it was stated that the pot-boy employed in the beer-shop was the only person missing, and that he had perished in the flames. Tlie statement, we regret to say, is confirmed. After considerable delay and diffi culty, the firemen succeeded in discovering the body, which was so disfigured that, but for other circum stances, it could not have been recognised. It was car ried to the vaults at Paddington church, and an inquest will be held on it in the course of the clay. iIHENRYDEATH OF THE .--- • H VT • --Y ,TAATURIN.— It is our painful duty to announce the death of the Rev.

The following statement is submitted to the generous consideration of the English public, and, in a more particular manner, to the members of the affluent Com pany of Ironmongers of London and those confederated with them, whose Irish estate is at the present moment the scene of the following proceeding—with the hope that their humane feelings, as landlords, will cause them to arrest the system of depopulation with which the most independent and industrious of their tenantry is threatened : _ _ _ ----.---- It appears that the large and valuable estate, called the manor of Lizard, situated in the county of Derry, within a shot t distance of Coleraioe, bad been leased to the Beresford family by this Company, to whom it has just reverted, on the decease of the late Bishop of Meath, the last surviving life. The Company ac cordingly appointed a gentleman, who had been a merchant, and a native of the City of London, with full power to act as their agent, and introduce such reforms on the estate as might be deemed necessary. These have been as yet stated to eonsist of two vital measures, and some others of lees importance, unneces sary here to notice. First, an expressed determination on the part of the Company not to grant leases, which reduces the tenantry to a state of serfdom ; and, se condly, that the farms shall be greatly increased in size. To accomplish these ends, sixty ejectment* have been served upon the most independent and responsible of the small holders the very day or two before the present term commenced, and allowing each family to consist of the moderate number of six indi viduals, thus will three hundred and sixty of all ages be dispossessed, besides others who May be obliged by the same means to follow. The estate has a most industrious population, who are engaged in. the manufacture of linen for Coleraine market, and the cultivation of their little farms affords ,exercise for , the men when disengaged from their manufacture, while employment is given to the females of their families in the preparation and cultivation of flax. The ejectrnents were served on the last days allowed by lawitlhat it might inconvenience, filmog,prevatts,atbappcort people from putting in claformes,4sll solicitors having +at_ the ti m e gono to attend term to Dublin, which is nearly 120 Irish miles distant. Almost all of those ejected are Scots Presbyterians, whose ancestors in 1689, under their minister, the Rev. A. Boyd, garrisoned the city of Derry during its, tikemorable siege, to maintain that British connection which,now threatens to dispossess their descendants. It is but justice to the other confederate Com panies to state 'that most of them sincerely regret this proceeding, and as they are joint proprie tors, may they urge this respectable Com pany of • Ironmongers to retrace their steps in this instance. It is not to be expected that this latter Company, or their agent, who are gentlemen perfectly unaccustomed, from their business avocations and early habits of life in this great city, can understand the agri coltural concerns of any estate, much less one situated in Ireland ; but it is to be hoped their sound judgments andAind feelings will ultimately prevail over the crude and hurtful theories of foolish speculators, or interested advisers. , Cil URCH-RATES.---MONlTioN.—Lagt, wee k, twenty-four inhabitants of Headcorn were summoned to Bearstead Petty Sessions, for non-payment of a Church-rate made by the minority in vestry on a mo nition. Mr. Boykett attended for the d e fendants. Proof of the making of the rate after it had been re fused by 33 to 14, was put in. Mr. Boykett said it was much to- be regretted that the minister and churchwardens of a parish so small, and, compara tively, so poor, as that of Headcorn, should have deter mined to try the question (if, indeed, they had so deter mined) of the power of a minority of parishioners to make a Church-rate in opposition to the vote of the majority ; and hoped that the Bench would deem it ex pedient to adjourn the further consideration of these summonses until a decision of the Courts had been oL tained on the Braintree and Bradford cases. The Court refused. Mr. Boykett then put in a: formal objection to the validity of the rate; and the cases were consequently dismissed, to be taken to the Ecclesiastical Court.— Essex Herald.

MORNING SUN ' PROSECUTION FOR BLASPHEMY, At the Bristol Epiphany Sessions, before Sir Charles Wetherell, Recorder, Charles Southwell, late a SoCialist missionary, was tried for w riting, printi ng , an d publish ing certain blasphemous libels, in a work called " The Oracle of Re ason ." The libels were certainly some of the most gross which have ever appeared in print, stria the defendant consequently has excited but little _ sym pathy, as he himself appears now to feel, for it was hot a mere right of publicatio n of opinion, but he wished to establish his right to fly in the face of the laws, religion, ) and feelings of the whole community ; still considerable - interest was taken in the proceedings, and the hall was filled during the whole of the lengthened period they oc cupied. The trial commenced at half-past twelve o'clock on Friday, and was adjourned at nine till ten the following morning, and was not concluded till half -past four. Mr. J. G. Smith and Mr. Skinner were the counsel .for the prosecution; Southwell defended himself, assisted by Mr. Hetherington, of London. ' Mr. SKINNER having opened the pleadings, Mr. SMITH stated the case. The defendant stood at that bar to answer for the publication of a series of blas phemous libels which had appeared in a work published by him, entitled " The Oracle of Reason," of which he was the t ditor, printer, and publisher. As far as he . had been informed from papers put forth by- the defendaht since the preferment of the indictment, hisdefence would not be a denial of the publication, but very much in the nature of the libels themselves—that he would impugn the lay"—condemn this prosecution as most impolitic, subversive of liberty, and particularly of the liberty of the press—endeavouring to excite in their minds, and those of the auditory, a contempt for the law and all the authorities of the country. The defendant appeared to take his ground on the right of all men to.publish their opinions on all subjects, without the slightest control. Would, however, lie would ask, any man of ordinary ob servation say, that writing as the defendant had, with the objects which he had avowed, was a fair discus sion of opinions ? Was it not obviou; that his in tentions were mischievous and wicked, Valculateq to lead to deeds of violence, and every evil work ? And what an absurdity it was to impute to the law which restrained such conduct the title of being oppressive. They talked of liberty, and, for sooth, of religious liberty. Liberty! how was that name abused by those men; their application of the term meant absolute independence, which was inconsistent with liberty, and destructive of all the links that bind society together. Liberty was not absolute indepen dence, for to be absolutely independent a man might go into the street and knock his neighbour down at his own will, or force his way into any man's house, because it was his pleasure to do so; but this was not liberty, for liberty was reciprocal. A man wishing to have his own rights respected must respect the rights of others. True liberty must be within bounds, and the man who broke them was no longer a freeman, but a pest to so ciety, who would destroy that very liberty of which he speaks so loudly in praise. But were there no other dangers by which liberty might be menaced but physical ones? What was there more powerful than the press? What a material influence had it in training up and instructing the young? How necessary was it; therefore, that it should be properly conducted, and how dangerous it would be if, instead of its being used as an instriunent for the instruction of youth in the paths of virtue, it should be employed to promulgate all that is evil. Why, it would be calculated -to break down all the barriers of virtue, and to introduce. the grossest -delusions. If there was any one depart ment of civil liberty which more than another - required proper restrictions, it was the freedom of the press. He trusted he should not be mistaken, no one venerated the freedom of the press more than he did, but he still thoi4l:- that if it was not kept within its proper limits, instead.oc being one of the greatest benefits to mankind, it wOu'let become an instrument of torture. The Learned Gentle-. man then alluded to. the libels in the indictment (the language of which is unfit to be repeated, and to which we shall only allude by saying that they denied the ex istence of God and the blessed Saviour. and calumniated the Bible, the Prophets, and Apostles, in the most eoarstl language), and said, if sentiments such as were contained in those libels were permitted to be propagated as being true, what would become of society, what' would become of the sanctity of an oath, and of all the forms under which justice was administered? The defendant had divested himself of all moral responsibility. This was his teaching of philosophy forsooth ; but he (Mr. Smith) would ask what was to become of society, if such doctrines were allowed ? With such doctrines, if he could escape the punishment of human laws, what hold had they on any man ? What hold was there on him who insisted on his absolute right to do as he pleased, and that he feared neither God, Devil, nor a human tribunal ? What was it that ren dered sacred human tribunals, but the belief in a re sponsibility here and hereafter—the belief in an Omnis cient Eye watching over us, and the powers of con science ? This was the foundation of all civil Goverti ment for if once individuals were brought to believe that there was no God, no future state, that man is of the same nature as the brute, and that, when he dies,.. lie sinks into the grave a nonentity, what was there to , restrain such a man within the paths of virtue ? No— thing ! What was there to check-his bad passions -but the mere fear of human punishment ? It was known that thieves and others calculated on-the commis:. sion of crime by the chances of impunity;ibtitAid: they' knoVr how many there were whOni the ihif.ig!punish ment hereafter restrained ? Let the JUiy look at t 4: danger of the introduction of such doctrines into their families and schools--teething the yentir country to believe that their fathers, in ineuleatin,,, , r Christianity, were knaves and tyr an ts, a nd:th e y( 4WO could believe them, fools, dolts, and idiots. What sort of children would they have—what sort of schools—whet sort of clerks and shopmen? Such a course would lead to the grossest 'delusions, and be destructive of all moral restraint. What confidence-would they place in the inte grity cf such a man? What a state of ruin, and misery, and crime would ensue. Would there be any of that vir tue—that liberty lie speaks of ? No. Man would be hating man, and hateful to each other. He would, there fore, call confidently upon them for a verdict of guilty, in order'that all that the law allowed might be done to pre vent the contamination of the public by the further pub lication of such blasphemies. God forbid that it shonld . be thought that lie sought to persecute the defendant. No such thing; if he could be stopped from the commis sion of such offences, he should be glad if he were at once allowed -to return to his home. This, however, could not -be done; and he therefore called on • them,: in the name-of God, in the name of justice, to do every- -- thing- in their power to put a stop to such a torrent of blasphemies as had been published by the defendant. Stephen Rogers, clerk to Messrs. Brice and Btirget,'::, jun., Clerks to the Magistrates, deposed to hairing chased some copies of the libels of the defendant at his • shop. Cross-examined—l am not here to say what is or what; is not a libel, but I think a libel is that which is not true. William Reynolds, Mayor's officer, and Harry Bur gess, a police sergeant, also proved the purchase of copies of the libels. The libels were then read, which closed the case for the prosecution. The defendant then rose to ask the Court whether it did not think it right to stop the case, as not a tittle of evidence had been given of his having published a blas phemous libel ; it had not been defined what blas phemy was. The RECORDER said the Jury were to judge from the perusal of the matter whether it was a libel, and whether it was blasphemous or not. The objection was there fore disallowed. The defendant then commenced his defence, and said he fully agreed with the Learned Counsel for the prose cution that they were living in an age of comparative enlightenment and civilization ; there were no longer any secret tribunals, and he would freely own that it was the privilege of every man to have an open, fair, and honourable trial ; he spoke thus lest it might be said that- he did not prize, as he really did, the privilege of -: trial by jury. It was the custom, and on these oceaskoPs more especially, to appeal to the passions and A ty, vyo , -.lti T prejudices ; he regretted that the Learned Coumg4 l l) ; §4 . r not stepped out of the custom, bocause, wiieri,they„rsa excited, reason was.,J os t—engulphed, as it werc,• men did things which, .in e.xdler..moulents, ,they would shudder , at.— Be • trusted, however,' that ;they t • . theft-11=W 11170;-grVing patient hearing, judge of his,intuntions and motives by his general conduct, and -he was sure, if they,lid so, they Would honourably acquit him. It had bendy vor P rejudice: Was the spider of the mind ; a he d 2 that, like the spider, it wove its web in desoiati worn-out habitations. The defendant„_her.4% M - the authorities of -Jeremy nenthain, Pitt, Burke, trs kine, &c., on the duties of juries, contendinwthat they were to be the judges of the law.. arid the t) t, bOth of guiltiness and non-guiltiness., Proud rids he of these authorities, because civilisation would be checked,, and they would iave nothing but a mental and physfal despotism were the power of Juries abridged or de stroyed : he called on them, therefore, to. judge him calmly. If they thought his teaching bad, did they not think that, instead of persecuting him, they would remedy his bad teaching by better teaching ? If they thought this they would accord him an acquittal. Before he proceeded to another portion of his defence, he would briefly allude to the means which had been taken out of doors to raise a prejudice against him. First, there was a Rev. Gentleman—a Rev. Mr. Bromley, lie believed—who, while he was in his cell with this trial hanging over his head, had the good taste to deliver a set of lectures, prejudicing the public mind against him, which lectures were heralded forth by placards in some such words as these—" The Rev. Bromley will deliver a lecture on the Infamous Blasphemies of Charles South well." But perhaps, the Rev. Gentleman had two ob jects in view ; the one, by prejudicing the public mind to increase his (the defendant's) punishment—the other, to fill his own pocket. There was another gentleman who had been also most anxious about his trial, who had used every means in his power to excite prejudice against him—the Editor of the Anti-Socialist Gazette (and anti social enough it was), who had even the audacity to ad dress a letter to his Lordship on the subject of this trial. The COURT—What is that ? addressed a letter to me !—if any letter had been brought to me on the sub ject I would have thrown it on the fire. The Defendant—lt is a printed letter, my Lord- The COURT—Oh ! well, I have never seen it, nor I I aware that there was such a thing in e xistence. s _ en it, - The defendent was aware, if his Lordship; had e his sense of justice was such that he as he•had said he would. In that letter had he that Ro bert had been denounced beca ace h , e v awakened in him the 7 Owen was the man who "lue-ii(thhea'Seacfentedu lirs,etkaing him, the writer A i t t i t : . one stone ; to punish wish I;ir free inquiry, &c. thought to kill two birds in i!' that defendant) his r l (i . d . filet a stab on the social rh t h ge i in, m ): , so : f) t p i t t li l lne t i l ,p ir ar of lehsimo:efutro7ch be was as ignorant as a f .
