GLOBE.- 7 The most impOrtant articles on which commercial restrictions require relaxing are precisely those on which an increase of revenue would result from relaxation !' Can it be doubted, then, where the endeavours to remove our present difficulties should have begun ? Corn and sugar ! How dares a Minister talk of his Tariff, who keeps out corn and sugar, and only admits cattle because, as it is urged shrewdly, they are not born yet ! Whatever diffi culty might have remained after these, the most essen tial relaxations, might have been met in a dozen lia'erent ways, all free from the odium and dis credit of an Income-tax. Take even that which is teemed so objectionable—a recourse only fit for war— (t. loan. If it had been thought wise, in our present depressed condition, to take advantage of the natural preference of investment in the funds to any other, with what perfect ease the wants of the public ervice might have been met without all this fuss! And if it is said that this would have been against sound principle, we say, in the first place, that it cannot be so ritich against sound principle as overtaxing widows, or pl lain, or traders, by an "unequal," "unjust," " inquisi tt;trial" Income-tax. Assessed Taxes, House Tax, might 1 4 ,t_! been resorted to. • But, say that a loan had been raised ":ti the first - instance, contrary as it is to the " principles" of-these old Tory financiers ! • Was there any such involvement in our finance as to make thi; a thing so terrible ? What ! when the eharge on account of- the public debt has been yearly - decreasing—When a portion of it is in course extinction by the lapse of terminable antral.- 7 -the British Government is virtually to pro claim itself to RI - trope and the world—less high in credit—less able to meet sudden demands without dis proportionate sacrifices—than any mercantile firm or standing—any banking or railway company ! This positively, and nothing else than this, is the only rational explanation of the conduct of a Government which. at this time, could rush on an Income-tax. As is utterly false—grossly and gratuitously injurious to the 'credit of Great Britain—meanly and stupidly slanderous of her - past financial Administration—it Inay possibly be very fit for adoption by this precious Cover :Invent. ,rJeth- STAND ARD.—No nobler objects could be pro po.-ied to himself by a statesman than those which Sir .Robert Peel contemplated eight years ago in support ing the-New Poor-law ; but have these objects been, anri degree, realised, or do they appear to be in a progress to be realised ? Has the experiment succeeded during eight years of trial—four of them years of great commercial prosperity—all of them years of peace and of unexampled exertion for the religious instruction and temporal education of the people Is the social and moral condition of the poor of the land improved! Are the peasantry becom ing more respectable in station, more indepen dent in feelings, and more comfortable in cir cumstances If these questions must be met by a sorrowful negative—and, alas! who will deny that they must be so met ?—the experiment has failed, to tally failed; and every a priori argument for persist ing in it becomes an argument the other way. Let remark again respectfully, that the opponents of the New Poor-law do not rest the claims of the poor • upon any basis so narrow as the Act of -1.3 d Elizabeth. No,; . we assert on the part of the poor a right congenital with society itself right promulgated by the Divinity, ante eetientl Y, and, in force of obligation, immeasurably above all human law. This right is distinctly as serted by Blackstone, and by William Pitt, and we had thought had been recognised by every thinking man except Messrs. :Malthus and Roebuck. The oppo nents of the New Poor-law need not, however, to shrink from a contrast between the Whig measure and the statute of Elizabeth. In the latter will be. found nothing- - of workhouse tests—nothing of penal conditions, such as imprisonment and degraiiin dress ; nor does the Act of Elizabeth mock the lame and the blind, the decrepit and. the aged, by telling them that they are to have relief - -if they can reach it—at a union workhouse fifteen miles off. The Act of Elizabeth does not extend an indemnity to the seducer of female innocence. But I\lly . r ecap:tulate the points of difference ? If the Act of Elizabeth contains all that is in the New Poor law, what, in the name of common sense, is the use• of the new law It is with extreme reluctance that we touch this subject ; but we believe that t' e !'ate of the empire—we are sure that the fate of the Conservative party, depends upon all speaking their minds freely. On A! ouday we. must return to it. BAH, COURT.—(TITS I)AY.) Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) TEL EARL OF CHESTERFIELD V. COUNT BATHYANY. Mr. PLAer applied to the Court to postpone this n filch stood second on the list, on ihe followitn grouLdt :—lt appeared by the pleas that, - .6lcanor SutOi ha lan ainuity of 3001. a-y( ar to trustees tin , and that she was thq teal plaintiff in th. canse. Hq- evidence theref:::e became necessary, and s!liwtrma was iisued to 'orimr her before the Court, and also Mary Ann Smit,' - t;Who was anther neceisary witnes,. This subpoena "was placed in the hands of a person named end;' on whose affidavit the 'application wa, fonndt , d• Trleswore that on the 17th of June, he went toMis;,Sutor's house, 13, Bolton-street, Piccadilly, and the servant having taken up his name, came down and :old him that Miss Sutor was ill in bed, and that as his business was known, she would not see him. He called again on the 23d of June, and was informed that Miss, Sutor was out of town in Devonshire, and would not return for some days. Under these circumstances he (Mr. Platt) hoped the cause would be postponed. Mr. THESIGER, for the plaintiff, said he did not think there were any just grounds for the postponement o the trial. It, was very near coming on yesterday, before Mr. Justice Coleridge, and it was never hinted that sucl an application was to he made. Notice ought to have beelt given of the intention to make this application, and then he 'would have been prepared with an answer. With regard to Mary Ann Smith, he believed she was now in attendance, and with regard to Miss Sutor, he 'believed she was to be seen every day on horseback, in the parks, and therefore there weA no good grounds for postponing the trial. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN—The nature of the plea is such, that she might be a material witness, and it is sworn that the servant said she was gone to Devonshire. You must answer the affidavit in the course of the day. The cause cannot be tried to-lay. T he Special Jury summoned on the case, were then Uncharged till further notice. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JUNE 24.—There has been no animation in our market, and the sales have been to a limited extent only, the show having consisted almost entirely of Barbadoes. Prices remain firm. The unnatural flatness in most branches of trade, and the universally disastrous state of the country, is manifestly seriously affecting the demand for sugar, sustained at an os.orbitant price to support a destructive monopoly, th e classes who principally consume it becoming daily more straitened in their means of -purchasing so expensive a commodity, Two cargoes, 600 hhds. float Trinidad, and 300 hhrls. from Jamaica, have been received during the week.—Bristol Mercury.

NIEMIEWIEZ. We have already briefly stated that a subscription was raising for a monument to the late General Niemiewiez in the cemetery of Montmorency, where a tomb-stone has recently been erected, bearing the following simile but expressive inscription : Julianus Ursinus Niemiewiez Eques Polonus Patriam Quamdiu vixit coluit. Exul Obiit Parisiis MACCCXLI. _ _ In these few lines, written by Niemiewiez himself, is contained his whole life, as well as that of most of the Polish patriots of this century. A poet, an historian, a warrior, and a member of all the different legislative assemblies, Niemiewiez had for more than fifty years been involved in all the vicissitudes of his native land. He was twice, after a lapse of thirty-six years, con strained by political events to fly from his country, and has died in exile. To the Poles this remarkable man was, in some measure, the representative of national glory, and hence the general wish to erect a monument to his memory. The Polish Literary Association of Paris took the lead in this noble object, and formed a Committee, under the Presidency of Prince Czartoryski, for receiving subscriptions. The sum as yet received is 9,060 francs ; and, as soon as the necessary amount shall have been raised, it will be laid out in erect ing a cenotaph over the modest tomb, purchased by the deceased with the remainder of his confis cated property. Another motive stimulates the Poles, and the friends of Poland, in their desire of raising a monument to Niemiewiez. The illustrious General Kniaziewiez, his friend, the companion of his honourable career, who died lately, had expressed on his death-bed an earnest wish to be buried by his side. This has most scrupulously been attended to, and the two friends are now for ever united. Out of the total amount of subscriptions which have already been received by the Committee, 4,000 f. were transmitted from England, by Lord Dudley Stuart, that constant friend of the Polish cause, who in London has spontaneoasly opened a list of subscribers, at the head of which are to be found—His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, Patron of the Lite rary Association of the Friends of Poland ' • T. W. Beaumont, Esq., President of the Society ; the Marquis of Bredalbane, the Earl of Scarborough, Lord Dudley Stuart, and Lord Panmure, Vice-Presidents ; the Duke of Hamilton, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl Grey, Earl Fortescue, the Earl of Sandwich, Lord Arthur Lennox, Viscount Sandon, Lord Holland, Lord Broug ham and Vaux, Sir Francis Burdett, Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, Sir W. Alexander, T. W. Patten, Esq., Patrick M. Stewart, Esq., Daniel O'Connell, Esq., W. Gibson Craig, Esq., Colonel Fox, Thomas Campbell, Esq., S. Rogers, Esq., C. B. Sheridan, Esq., T. Moore, Esq., &c. This subscription not having been hitherto made known to the numerous friends of Niemiewiez in France and in America, a country of which he had been admitted a citizen, and which he loved next to his native land, the list will remain open until the Ist November next, and contributions will be received by M. Markiewiez, sub librarian of the Polish Literary Association in Paris, Rue de Saussaies, No. 8, who has been appointed fur that purpose by the Committee.—Gdignani. FEMALES AND CHILDREN IN MINES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN Silt e -I take the liberty of sending you the follow ing circular, in order that the public Press may see the view which the Yorkshire coal masters take of the Bill now in Parliament respecting Mines, and in vite your observations thereon ; at the same time I beg to express a hope that you strongly deprecate the hasty legislation observable in passing this Bill. To show that the coal masters and colliers are not all the degraded set that they have been, represented to be, I beg to refer you to Mr. Symon's Report, pages 201, 272, and 290.—1 remain, &c. • HENRY BRIGGS. Overton, near Wakefield, June 18, 1842. CIRCULAR TO MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT. To Wakefield, June 14, 1842. As the organ of the Coal and Iron Masters' Asso 2iation of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it becomes .ny duty to transmit to you the followinc , observations 1)n the subject of the Bill now before Parliament, for regulating and restricting the employment of females And young persons in Mines. Anxious as the owners of mines in this district are :o co-operate with Parliament in remedying acknow ledged evils and abuses, they are, at the same time, :alarmed at the prospect of the inevitable hardships and distress which the Bill, in its present shape, will occasion ; and they earnestly entreat your attentive consideration of the following statements, which are founded on the experience of practical men, and which embody the opinions both of the employers and em ployed. The majority of the coalowners of this district have long lamented the practice of employing females and very young children in mines : and while they are fully sensible of the temporary suffering which must necessarily be occasioned by their exclusion, yet they have felt it to be their duty to discourage, as much as possible, the introduction of women, and of very young persons, of either sex, into the pits. The fol lowing extract, from a 'Report agreed to by the owners of coal and iron-stone mines, assembled at Wakefield r on the 21st of May, 1841, shows that the good intentions of Parliament were actually in some plegree anticipated, more than a year ago, by the; masters themselves :—" They recommend the adop tion, by the whole body of the coalowners, of such measures as are within their power; and amongst the first, they would point to the exclusion of females and of children under eight years of age,"—and this re commendation has lately been followed up by a specific resolution. With respect to the age at which males should be admitted into mines, the members of this Association have unanimously agreed to fix it at eight years ; and they appeal to the testimony of numerous wit nesses in the Commissioners' Report, to prove that colliers seldom attain the requisite proficiency in their trade, unless they enter the pits when young. In the thin coal-mines, it is more especially requisite that boys, varying in age from eight to fourteen, should be employed, as the underground roads could not be made of sufficient height for taller persons without incurring an outlay so great as to render the working of such mines unprofitable. Appendix B. of Mr. Symon's Report, shows that out of eighty collieries inspected by him, forty-four were worked in seams of three feet thick, and under, And in such seams, a majority of the persons employed must necessarily he of low stature. By the enactment of clause 2, in Lord Ashley's Bill, on referring to the statistical table in the Com missioners' Report, it will be found that 99 females And 246 males, in every 1,345 persons employed in his coal field, will be thrown out of employment ; And in the thin coal mines the proportion will be much larger ; for in one particular concern near Wakefield, in which 431 persons • are employed un derground, 89 are females, varying from nine to forty years old, and 82 are males under thirteen years of :Ige. In this instance, therefore, (and it is only one ~ase amongst many), 171 individuals, out of 431, will be deprived of their employment by the proposed Bill, and left without any other apparent means of obtaining a livelihood. At the present moment, a majority of the coal mines of this district are working not more than three or four days in each week, and the population are, con sequently, in a state of great poverty and distress. What, then, would he the condition of a miner's fa mily, if deprived, by the Legislature, of the weekly wages produced by the industry of the boys, in addi tion to those earned by the females ? The coalowners fully admit the vast importance of moral and intellectual training, as a means of im proving the social condition of the population, and they would be rejoiced to see it more general; but they cannot conceive anything more injurious to the rising generation than the period of youth spent in utter idleness. The whole of a collier s family under thirteen years old will, if turned out of the pits, be entirely dependent on the scanty earnings of the parent, for food, clothing, and instruction. Those earnings alone are barely sufficient to procure even food for their children, without mentioning wearing apparel and education. What, then, will be the probable condition of the children under thirteen years of age, after the passing of Lord Ashley's Bill, in its present form ? Pre vented by the Legislature from working in the mines, and unable to pay for daily instruction, or to avail themselves of Sunday school education, for the want of decent clothing, and equally unable, in the present superabundant supply of labourers, to procure em ployment in other branches of trade, they would grow up in a state of physical and moral destitution, with out any regular occupation, without that sufficiency of food and clothing which their own earnings for merly provided for them, without religious culture. without secular knowledge, and without those habits of steady industry so desirable in every rank, and so essentially necessary to the well-being of the work ing class. The boy must in this, as in every other case, be educated for the man ; and surely legislative prevention of learning a trade is not desirable, either in a moral or an economical point of view. The sth clause of the Bill, relative to the age of the persons in charge of the drawing apparatus at the pit-top, appears to the members of this Association to be too stringent, the instances of incapacity, men tioned in the Report, being very few. Th e master is as much interested as the workman in having efficient engineers and. other persons at the top of the shafts, and they find from ex p erien ce that engine; boys of areefigftueaelnlyorassixcteaerenfula ge s m n e e n. generally as manageable, a n d e horse-drivers inrall gins are always boys , a nd if men were substit u t e d f or them the expense of w ag es w o uld be greatly in creased, without giving eith er additional effi c i ency or safety. Some of the best and most careful engine -men in this district, are more than fifty years of age ; and the coalowners think, that to disch ar g e a skilful and faithful servant from the work for which, from long habit and experiene.e,- he is- pool liarlv fitted,. simply because fore than flittYeav 41, would be " THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 2.5, 1842. act of imprudence and injustice, which nothing but a • compulsory law would ever cause them to commit. The interference of Parliament in this case, therefore, ' is, they conceive, not only unnecessary, but unjust. If, however, legislation is inevitable, it would be more reasonable to restrict the age at which engine-men and banks-men may begin to work, to fourteen years, to allow females of a similar age to assist the banks-men, and leave unrestricted and unlimited, the age at which they shall cease. The penalties for offences against the proposed Act seem exorbitant, as compared with those under seve ral other Acts. From Si. to 101. are to be forfeited, for violating the Ist, 2d, and 3d clauses, and from 201. to 50/. for violating the sth clause. The coalowners cannot omit this opportunity of referring to the Report and conclusions of the Com missioners for proof, that there is little in the trade of mining injurious to health ; and much respectable evidence may also be quoted to show, that the moral condition of the miners is superior to that of the ma nufacturing operatives, and not at all inferior to that of the agricultural labourers. The mineral proprietors and workmen have unde servedly incurred great public odium, from the one sided and ex parte statements, and extracts from the reports, issued by the press—showing only the dark side of the picture ; and they entreat Members of Parliament not to legislate hastily on this subject, but to allow time for the whole of the evidence to be di gested, and for the excitement, at present prevailing in the public mind, to be allayed by counter statements of the parties thus sought to be maligned and injured. When, therefore, you consider the great extent of this branch of industry—its importance as a main source of our national wealth—the large amount of capital embarked in it—the vast population employed in, and dependent upon, its prosecution ;—when at the same time you consider the moneyed and labouring in terests which are likely . to be affected by your legis lation, and the positive injuries which will in many cases be inflicted both on the employers and the em ployed ;—when you consider the present deeply dis tressed state of the country, and the future aggrava tion of that distress by the severe restrictions which Lord Ashley's Bill, if carried, will impose upon the freedom of labour ;—and, finally, when you consider the hostile feeling manifested towards this Bill by the very individuals whom Lord Ashley and his coad jutors intend to benefit (viz. the mining labourers themselves), it is not unreasonable to hope that ample time will be allowed for all the parties concerned, to lay before Parliament their petitions and remon strances, and that the Bill, after its second reading, may be referred to a Select Committee of the House of commons, with a view of examining into the pro bable effects of its clauses, in order that interested parties may be heard, and in order that the just claims for compensation of capitalists most severely injured by this proposed enactment, and of labourers curtailed in their comforts by the interdiction of their work, may be fairly and dispassionately considered. HENRY BRIGGS, CHAIRMAN OF THE COAL AND IRON MASTER'S ASSO CIATION OF THE WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE. VISIT OF THE DUKE OF ORLEANS TO ST. OMER. On Sunday next, the 26th inst., his Royal Highness has ex pressed his intention of visiting St. Omer, where we under stand a large camp has been assembled. In testimony of grafi tude for the magnificent ball given by his Royal Bigness when last there, the. inhabitants have resolved to give a splendid fete on Monday, the 27th inst., in honour of the Duke. There will be a grand historical procession commemorative of the entry of William Cliton, grandson of William the Con queror, in which upwards of bOO knights and men at arms, dressed most rigorously in the costume of the period, will take a part. Moreover, when the chatelains of Lille, Ghent, Bruges, Bourbourg, &c., enter the town at ten o'clock, they will escort the Countess of Guinea and her train of attendants. The. Countess will be the Queen of Beauty and distributor of pfzes at the tournament. Those of our readers who witnessed the fete last year will be enabled toyudge what an improvement to the present one will be a sprinkling of ladies dressed in the costume of the day. The whole of the procession will have entered the town at twelve o'clock. At two they will start for the Bi uyere to assist at the tournament, where raised platforms will be erected capable of holding 10,000 persons. Those who attended the tournament last year cannot have forgotten the splendour of the , cene, nor the pleasure it afforded th em. This year there will be, in addition to the feats of arms of the last, encounters on foot, with the battle-axe and broad-sword. The whole will be wound up by a motley wai fare among the citizens, with the quarter-staff. There will be al all at night, and a magnificent display of fireworks. . We lather think such attractions will thin our streets of all desirous of having a true idea of the manners and dress of the middle ages, and of the amusements to which they then devoted themselves. Judging from what we saw last year, we should advise all, fond of sight-seeing to go and enjoy the entertainment.--.Bolougne Gazette. SPORTING. I had intended this day to have given you a complete list of the defaulters on the late Derby, with every parti cular relative to their proceedings. My better nature prevails, and for the present I spare the culprits. Since I last wrote on this subject one heavy account has been settled at the rate of eight shillings in the pound—an un derstanding being given, however, that should the rash youth, whose youth alone is his miserable apology, ever have the means, he is responsible for the residue. Under the circumstances, perhaps the friends of this hero have done all that could be expected. I have also heard, but I can scarce believe the report, that Mr. Beales, between the Derby and the settling day, sent for a friend, and offered to put down five thousand pounds, if his creditors would agree to wait and allow him to enter the yard at Tattersall's and settle his account. The story goes, that his friend thought the case so hopeless, so atrocious, that he refused the summons..- How gladly do I catch at the persuasion that such may have been the case, and how gladly should I retract every offensive epithet I may have connected with the name of this man. When you have known a man some years, and become accustomed to re gard him as an honourable member of the society in hich he moves, there is something very terrible at the first discovery of ,your friend's disgrace ; you would fain believe it impossible. Once, then, before it is too late, do . I call upon you, Mr. Beales, to meet your liabilities like a man ; you have won money upon the turf, are in easy circumstances, and, for the credit of your family, the honour of your name, do pray come forward, meet your creditors, and, if you nay only half-a-crown in the pound, it will be sufficient to prove that it never was your intention deliberately to deceive alike friend and foe, to involve your commissioner, to receive if you won, to levant if you lost ; prove that this was not the case, and your creditors will still meet you fairly, I will vouch for it. One desperate case I shall never notice ; any notice would be vain. I should as soon think of men tioning the outrageous ease that occurred last year when Coronation won—which would have been avoided alto gether. by the by, had Gibraltar won the St. Leger. Since writing the above, I observe that three more names are adde by Tour reporter to his previous list. I am of opinion that if any, all should be mentioned, and all the particulars of each man's case, as some accounts are still unsettled which, I fear, will prove " more hope less" than the selection advertised. There has been plenty of racing at Newcastle, where, to make up for his bad luck at Ascot, Scott has been carrying all before him. I alluded -to the number of horses left in the Northumberland Plate, trained by John Scott, on Monday, and I thought it would be singular, if, out of so many, one could not be found good enough to win : he wins, however, in spite of himself, for I do not hear that the winner was backed for a five pound note. Cabrera did not appear ; the stake was not good enough for him. The Bibury meeting appears to have fallen off terribly ; even with bringing forward the Stewards' handicaps they could Lot obtain a good day's sport. Mr. Thornton's action versus the Jockey Club, comes on next week, and several gentlemen have been sub poenaed as witnesses. Fifty horses have accepted for the Goodwood Stakes, but I must speak of this on Monday. JUDEX. June 25. SHIPWRECK of the TRANSPORT SHIP SIR GEORGE ARTHUR. (From the Bermuda Royal Gazette of June 7.) The hired transport ship Sir George Arthur, with stores fur Government, and 80 convicts for the Hulks at her Majesty's Naval Yard, under the medical charge of Mr. I. Williams, struck en the rocks at the west end of these islands, about eleven o'clock on the night of Thursday last. The weather at ho time being very boisterous, she was driven over the outer reefe by the force of the sea, where she let go her anchor. Signal guns were fired on board, and blue lights burned. which were observed from the shore, when a number of boats from Somerset, notwithstanding the tempestuous weather and heavy rain falling at the time, pushed off to her assistance, many ofwhich were compelled to return, or seek shelter, owing to the very heavy weather, and a swell occasioned by a strong south-west wind. The termi nation of the Sir George Arthur's voyage was truly distres sing, but not more so than the painful suspense the pas sengers were kept in during the latter part of the voy age, occasioned by the mutinous proceedings of 11 of the crew (who are now in prison at her Majesty's naval yard) in refusing to do, duty, cud who were consequently placed in confinement, leaving the vessel to the mercy of the convicts, whom they likewi ,e endeavoured to incite to revolt, but without success ; and the ship was worked the remainder of the voyage by the very men who were placed on board as prisoners, expressing their determi nation "to take the ship in safety to her port of desti nation as far as we are capable." We trust that the good conduct of these men will not be overlooked, and that they will be rewarded as they deserve. The Captain latterly became ye ry intemperate, and almost incapable of doing duty, and was in a great measure the Cause of the loss of the ship. He and the mate refused to come on shore with the others from the vessel, and during the night of Fridayboth disappeared, along with the longboat ; it is feared they have met with a watery grave. We are concerned to learn that the Rev. Dr. Mallet lost much valuable furniture and other articles ; and, the other passengers suffered severely by similar losses. The Government stores, or the greater part of them, will be saved, and much of the hull and rigging. The Passengers were the Rev. Dr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet, Mr. I. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. G. Kirkham. The Sir George Arthur was out 48 days from Portsmouth (England). THE SLAVE TRADE. RUSSIAN UKASE. ST.PETEILSBU MAY 27.—His Majesty the Emperor has issued to the Directing Senate the following ukase, relative to the suppression of the slave trade ; " Our illustrious predecessor and dearly beloved brother of glorious memory, at the most memorable period of his ever glorious reign, when the congress of monarchs assembled in Vienna established the new basis for the political relations of the European Powers, did then recognise, and, in accordance with his allies, solemnly declare, that the branch of commerce known by the name of the African Slave Trade had by the virtuous and enlightened of all times beenjustly regarded as op posed to the principles of philanthropy and the laws of public morality ; and that nothing but the peculiar circumstances under which this trade originated, and the difficulty of suppressing it without preparatory measures. could have served, in a certain degree, as an apology for the continuance of as odious a traffic. Ad the sovereigns of Europe who signed the treaty of Paris, Moy 18 (30), 1814, have thereby made it their duty to co-operate in common, and by all the means in their power, for the suppression of this traffic on all points of the earth. Notwithstanding their earnest wish for the attainment of an object so important, they have, however, for the sake of the interests of their respective subjects, from deference to existing usages, and even to pre judices deeply rooted for centuries, retrained from attempting, by anticipation, to determine the time when each Power would find it possible and convenient formally to prohibit the slave trade. It is better to leave the final fi ration of that period to direct negotiations between the Courts. " Since the issuing of this declaration the slave trade has been prohibited by almost all the nations of Europe and Arne rica, and tt present especial treaty has b, en con:luded between us and their Majesties the Empel or of Austria, the King of the French, the Queen of Great Britain, and the King of Prussia, with respect to the most effectual tneastir , !s to be adopted for preventing the secret prosecution of the said trade. " By this treaty it is determined not merely to prohibit (or to renew the prohibition) the respective subjects of the con trat:iingPer On the slave trade within the possessions,oowrusnditni the er fi y ag ing flags, of the sail Powers, or by capi tals or ships, to participate therein, directly or ind rectly, in any way whatever; but it is moreover provided that every at tempt for the renewal or prosecution of that trade shall be held equivalent to the crime of piracy, and that all vessels therein engaged shall forfeit every right of protection which the flags of any one of the contracting Powers might otherwise secure to them. Having sanctioned all the dispositions of the said treaty, we order that henceforth every individual legally convicted of carrying on the slave trade, or either directly or indirectly in any manner participating therein, shall be sent before the legal tribunal, and made liable tui the punishment prescribed by our laws against piracy. " The Directing Senate will take care to provide the neces sary measures for the execution of this ukase. "NICHOLAS. " St. Petersburgh, March 26 (April 7), 1842." FROYI LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

SINGULAR DELUSION.—The Censeur de Lyon of the 19th inst. publishes the following singular instance of insanity :—" An officer belenging to the garrison in this city has just been transferred to the lunatic asylum at Antiquailla. This officer imagined that he hail dis covered, by means of a modification in the system of ob:ique squares, a inanceuvre by which any army could be infallibly destroyed. lie communicated his plan by writing to the Minister of War and General Bugeaud, hut not receiving any answer, he endeavoured to -disco ver some other mode of insuring to France a supremacy over other nations. He at length imagined a il,n to re suscitate and render immortal men and horses after hav ing put them t.i death. He immediately called on an officer, explained his plan, and proposed that his friend should submit to the operation. His comrade observed, that before he allowed himself to be put to death he should like to see the experiment performed on some ani mal. This was done, but the result by no means con vinced the lunatic, who repeated his request the follow ing day to a lady, who was compelled to scream for as sistance to save her life. His friends then found it ne cessary to remove him to a place of safety." The Permanent Court-Martial of Paris was en gaged yesterday on the trial of Lieutenant Desprez, of the 4th Cuirassiers, upon the complaint of M. Rossignol, keeper of an inn at Bonneval, in the Eure-et-Loire, founded on the following circumstances :—A detachment of the regiment, being on its march from Vendome, had to halt two days at Bonneval, being quartered upon the innkeepers and other inhabitants. Lieut. Desprez find ing the stable of the inn kept by Rossignol completely filled with the troop horses, wished to put their accou trements in a wash-house. In doing this he was op posed by Mme Rossignol, and an altercation ensued in which t'lie husband interfered, aid at length used very insulting language to the Lieutenant, who he declared had called the good wife bad names. At length the Lieutenant became so exasperated, that he gave M. Ros signoleladaihnir ttm u bt o s e h afnto hr i i n een tuG t h h reey e n IN/ i s ew i r d haa e gil i Nv hcs a t mt h htmoe ua his ognfdh tnl h h, eg e er a y t tt l ho i ee% slight s w , o l r e d d , t a o n d a caused caomr d n ist w ri li ct o . fo l . ; was sent up to the Minister of War, who ordered the trial. Lieut. Desprez denied in the most positive man ner having used the opprobrious terms to Mine. Ros signol which her husband attributed to him, and it was shown that he had been provoked by the violent lan guage and conduct of her husband. He was conse quently fully acquitted, and allowed to resume his duty with his regiment. A NARROW ESCAPE.—The Sentinelle of Bayonne gives an account of an accident that happened in that city in the afternoon of the 13th inst., which might have been attended with the most awful consequences. A train of six artillery waggons, laden with fifty barrels of gunpowder, for the arsenal, in going down the Rue Maubec, which is very steep, had one of the wheels of each waggon locked to stop the rapidity of the descent. When they arrived at the gate of the gendarmerie bar racks, the brigadier perceived smoke and sparks of fire issuing from one of the locked wheels, and gave the alarm. Abundance of water was immediately brought, and the fire was extinguished. On examining the wheel, it was found that the tire had been rendered redhot by the friction, and had set fire to the felloe. LIGHT GOLD.—Great inconvenience continues to be felt with respect to the light gold in circulation. Trade is very much embarrassed, and many persons are unable to nego tiate the daily transactions of life without submitting to an un certain but considerable loss. The Government is generally and deservedly blamed for the total absence of all arrange ments to facilitate the exchange of defective for good money. The public are left to the mercy of tradesmen or silversmiths ; no Government agent is appointed, no arrangement made with the local banks for the protection of the needy or the unin formed. Many modes might have been devised to render the inevitable inconveniences attending the restoration of . the coinage less burtheusome; but nothing has been thought of. The whole traus s wtiou is. disgraceful to the Govermueut..r Kea ticru/4. IiVIPERIAL PARLIAMENT. IiOUSE OF 1,01,1)S, June 24. Their Lordships ii,ez at Five o'Ciock. The Slave-trade Abolition Bill was read a secood time, and ordered . to be committed. The Public. houses Bill passed through Committee, was reported, and ordered to be read a third time on Monday. .On the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Liverpool Health of Town and liupr.xement The Marquis of SALISBURY moved that the Bill be recommitted, which, after a desultory conversation, in which the Duke of Richmond and Lord Kenyon took part, was agreed to. NEWFOUNDLAND. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from New foundland against the contemplated changes in the con stitution of that colony, and disclaiming the charges made againgt the House of Assembly in the British Par liament, of being too favourable to the Popish party, and inimical to the British connection and the Established Church. To disprove this latter charge, the petitioners stated that the present House of Assembly had on their first meeting elected a Protestant speaker, a Protestant clerk, and several other officers of the Protestant COLLIERIES. The Marqufs of LONDONDERRY presented a petition from certain coal-owners in Northumberland, respecting the employment of children in coal mines. On the parr of the petitioners and of himself he denied that any such inhuman practices as were set forth in the Report of the Collieries Commissioners were permitted in their works. The Noble Marquis corn plaint'd in very strong terms of the unfairness with which he alleged the Commissioners had gone about colleting evidence. They had communicated only with artful boys and ignorant young girls, and had put ull their questions in such a manner as to suggest the answers that would suit their purpose. More than than that, they had ac companied their Report with disgusting and indecent prints, repro renting things that never took place. The information he received with respect to the Commissioners was, that they had been, all four of them, connected with the Factory Commission, and many of their proceedings in the Factory Commission had been petitioned against. He did not think that such reports should be strictly relied on. He felt quite convicced that those instances cf debauchery and immo desty which had been given were very much exaggerated, espe cially with regard to Scotland. He knew it for a tact that there was nothing like immodesty in the collieries in Scotland. It appeared to him that their Lordships were about to pass a law which would materially affect a mo.t powerful interest upon very incorrect and exa7gerated grounds. In the Northern Counties there was no less than 10,328,0001. sterling invested in mining interests. It was proosed to educate the children until they were 13 years of age, and not to allow them to enter the names until they were 13 years old. Why, vt hat was to become of them until that time ? Did they not know that the life of the pit lad was by no means a hard one? It was not nearly so laborious as that of the sailor. The pit lad chalked things upon the walls of the _pit, and was as happy as the day was long,— (Laughter.) His lite was cheerful and jovial.—(Laughter.) They were not all born to be educated, and if they were edu cated ever so well, they would not be able to meet with employ ment. They would educate themselves whenever they saw the necessity for education, but they were not all barn to be edu cated. The petitioners prayed that the inquiry might be further put sued, with the view of exposing the exaggerated statements contained in their last report. He bored so, too. He thought the prayer of the p'titiun was just and reasonable, and that the stcteinents of the Commissioners ought not to be allowed to go forth without their Lordships enabling the ca lumniated parties to give evidence to exculpate themselves.— ( Hear.) There was no body of employers iu the kingdom who did more than the owners of coal mines to do justice to those under them, and in every way to promote their happiness and well being. It was all very well for a Soble Lord to come down to the other House of Parliament, and make statements upon the authority of some artful boys under thirteen years of age ; but he trusted that their Lordships woted not legislate upon such statements, hut would inquire carefully and judge fur thenisel ves. Th. LORI) CHANCELLOR rose to move the Order of the Day for the third reading of the Copyright Bill, but • The Noznx MARQUIS continued amidst great laughter. He apologised for having so long occupied the House, and concluded by expressing an anxious desire that the inquiry should bo proceeded with. The Bishop of NORWICH would postpone what he had to say on the subject until the Bill which was before the other House came up to their Lordships. He could not, however, avoid saying, that he could not reccgnise any necessity for the employment of women or children in English or Scotch mines, when he found to the credit of Ireland that in not one of the colieries in that country as there a woman or, a child under sixteen years of age employed.—(Hear, hew.) People were in the habit of calling the country barbarous, and of applying opprobious names to the inhabi , ants. People spoke of the dark anti unenlightened state of the Irish people, but he could wish that the light of their humanity was reflected in the darkness and horrors of our English coal mines. THE SCOTCH CHURCH. Lord BELHAVEN rose to put the question, of which he had given notice, to the Noble Lords opposite who constituted part of her Majesty's Government. He need not now tell their Lordships that the state of the Church of Scotland was such as every well-wisher of the country must deplore. That Church was the one best suited in all respects to the feelings and habits of the people of that dountry. It was: now in a state of distraction which was painful to every reflecting mind, and imperiously called for the interveniiettrof Parliament. The question which he had to put was, whetheritwas the intention of her Majesty's Government to take the . sebject into their serious consideration, with a view to a satisfactory settlement? The Duke of WELLINGTON, in replying to the question of the Noble Baron, would confine himselt as much as.passible to giving a simple answer. Tae Government had had the sub ject for a long time under their serious consideration; had endea voured to discover the means of settling this important and dis• tressing question, but they had found that the parties were not prepared to receive with satisfaction the measure which the Goverment was disposed to submit to Parliaa,ent. AU the Members of the Government had the same respect-for the Church, and the same conviction of the' benefits it had conferred on the people of Scotland, as the Noble Lord. hiniseif, and of its being eminently . calculated to benefit the people and to ensure their happiness. The Government had given and were giving their utmost attention to the sal j ct, with .a view of discovering the means of effecting its satisfactory settlement. Ti e Duke of RICHMOND, from his connexion with that part of the empire, concurred in the sentiments of the Noble Lord who put this question, and lie heartily agreed with him in saying that a settlement of the existing dispute w.s most desirable. Tne conduct of the General Assembly, from Whom a potition was to be presented by a Noble Lord on the Ministe rial side of the House, was most extraordinary, and he could not help saying that he wondered how they could reconcile it to their consciences to act so harshly as they d,d to clergymen who had really done nothing to offend them, or to violate the laws. Lord 'BROUGHAM thought it would be unbecoming to go into the question Wore it came fully before the llouse. consi dering the proceedings then pending before the Court of Session. Lord BELHAVEN thought, if the Government brought in a measure respecting this subject, it would have the effect of putting an end to the unfortunate differences which now existed. When Noble Lords opposite were on his (Lord Bel haven's) side of the House they were anxious to legislate upon this subject. After a few words from the Duke of WELLINGTON, the subject droned. COPYRIGHT BILL. On the motion that this Bill be read a third time, Lord CAMPitELL rose to call the attention of their Lord ships to the 17th and 23d clauses. The former cause was for the purpose of giving, a power to Excise officers to examine books on importation, to prevent piratical ecUtions of wcrks of authors in this country. If this clause were admitted it ap peared to him that the later clause was wholly unadvisable, as it gave a power to any constable to come into any of their Lord shiys' libraries, and if they had a book which they had bought while travelling on the Continent— The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would save the Noble and Learned Lord :rouble, and withdraw the clause. The Bill was then read a third time. DISTRESS OF THE COUNTRY. Lord BROUGHAM gave notice that he should, on Thurs day next, present a petition from the deputation from the ma nufacturing districts relative to the distress in those districts. Lord CLANCA RTY presented a petition from a place in Irelind..again‘t the system of National Education in Ireland. SALMON FISHaIIES REGULATION (SCOTLAND) BILL.

Dr. BOWRING gave notice that he should, 0 11414211 t h' '' day next, ask a question of the Right Hon. Baronet wt respect to Syria. , s IRISH MAGISTRACY. Mr. SHIEL rose for the purpose of put t... .• a question to the Noble- Lord, the Secretor,' fo r Ireland, relative to t‘e re• appointment of Mr. St. Georg e. ' to . the Magistracy of Galway. His Hon. Friend th' Member for Perth had put a similar question to Noble Lord a few nights ago, ! and the HonourabW„. Member had now gone to Scotland. The questr!„-e was, whether it was, in point of fact, true, as s tate r' in the public papers, that Mr. St. George had bee! restored ? It was stated that he had some )'c ur ' ago written a letter containing offensive lingusge' to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and on an opplie e. cation for his restoration, it was intimated that the pre; ceedings of Mr. St. George were very i m propers that it would be impossible to restore him, lin k / an apology was made for the letter. He believe ai no distinct answer was given by the Noble Lor d r , that occasion, but it was stated that the K e it ! had not yet come over from Ireland. His Hon. F riel had now gone toScotland, and nothing further had nik e j, place on the subject. He (Mr. S.) felt himself jus tilie s„, therefore, in asking whether an apology had been iour,„ and whether the Noble Lord had any objection to g ib ; publicity to the apology, in retractationofa public ()frac,. Lord ELIOT thought the Right Hon. Gentle rw r had misunderstood him in the answer he made the othe a evening. He then stated that in 1837 Mr. St. George h e , had written a letter, couched in disrespectful langu a g;,; to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. He was in consequ e- removed, and the Lord Chancellor thought very 1 34 : perly. Shortly afterwards, the Lord Lieutenant wits e l ", plied to, to reinstate him. lie refused to do so, eje less Mr. St. George retracted his letter, or 0 3 , an apology, or give some explanation a I s After that the Lord Lieutenant received so Dne e ,,,' . applications from gentlemen of the county of Ga la ti of all political opinions,' that the Lord Chancello r think himself justified in communicating with Air' e ';‘, George, with a view of obtaining an apology or planation. Mr. St. George did give an explana tion but as he (Lord Eliot) stated before, he. OOP; it did not amount to an apology or retractat i l o He distinctly stated that before. And he thought !S s !, Lord Chancellor was very much influencett in rest or 3 Mr. St. George by the wishes so strongly express ed, the gentlemen of the county. There was no r l s i c „, whatever, as had been implied in another P - to to offer any sight to the Marquis of Clanrica ta `,, , but taking all the circumstances into considerati osi that the Magistrates of Galway were of all political efii. nions, the Lord Lieutenant did think himself is' fled in viewing the case leniently, especially after, : / had been suspended for five years. He (Lord Fie . did nut feel justified in laying before the House is the correspondence.—(Hear, hear.) At the same t , he wished it to be distinctly understood, that no sli t s; was intended to the then Lord Chancellor of Irelan a ss the Marquis of Clanricarde. Mr. SHIEL then gave notice that he should utoq the papers.---(Loud cheers.) POOR-LAW AMENDMENT BILL. On the Order of the Day for the House going I- Committee on the Poor-law Amendment Bill being Mr. LAWSON rose to move, pursuant to notice, it be an instruction to the Committee, that t sii 9 have power to divide the Bill into two P e a s He would feel justified in giving to this Bill what O sis be called a factious opposition. The Right Ilon• ronet had stated that he would introduce the measi ii : e ne ss the very earliest period after Easter that public bosfroes would allow ; and a measure of such importance 0 t i l e Poor-law certainly ought not to be introduced ti t ti ck end of the session. On this ground he felt that he fully justified in the course which he was pursuing. ao Sir J. GRAHAM said the Hon. Member seetn!,,,, t s admit that he had embarked in a factious 0pp9 51.1 j It The measure was introduced on the 11th of Maye lin f o r° had now been before the House and the public 0' period of six weeks. A very large portion of the et'," sure was, indeed, introduced in the last session of qt ; hament, and -many of the principal clauses underwe i o, protracted discussion. The clause to which the !!' te ti Csentleiran objected was, he believed, that which litr ec ol: the Gilbert unions. Nuw the persons affected bYbile, Gilbert Union Acts amounted in all to 400.00 0, 15 , those who are under the operation of the Poor-law.„,, amountettto-litteen millions. lie put it to the P r. 7e: whether they would exclude the whole people of 7i: land from the operation of the Act, for the sake comparatively small portion of the community- ; jeti hoped the House would by the division give a tie' . , negative-to the motion. Captain PECHELL concurred in what had Oat front the Right Hon. Baronet. However, the h l ist ! Hon. Baronet would find that the Hon. M e mbe r T o Knaresborough (Mr. Ferranti) was not the only Pe r t ' , who was determined to offer this Bill the n oat cous re and zealous opposition, and who would take advant s b as ! all the forms which the House permitted to obstru ct protract the discussion of the Bill, in order to couiP ei7v Right Hon. Baronet to separate those parts of th ee s ac , which had been urged upon his attention for tha t pose, and in'doing which the Right Hon. Baronet 7dii, exercise a sound discretion. He would read to the he • Hon. Baronet :a resolution on this subject, whi ch been adopted by the people of Brighton, in public th e ing assembled. It was to this effect—" That d l° members of this borough be earnestly reques e s ot : carry out the recommendation of the Committee to 4 ,0, against the Poor-law Amendment Bill on every oce;cot and to oppose by every possible means which Pae li , s e t allows every measure which will have for its ob..rwer, continuance of the Poor-law Commissioners in te ll? 'That resolution was passed last night after the l':,i s sto Bence received in the borough relative to the di l „ 1 „iog , that had taken place in that House before b t itio '6 into Committee on the Bill. It would be his just' J o ail ( ! for following up those proceedings, and he : to e!" not be diverted from the course he proposed to 111 tac' by any insinuations that might be thrown out as t° tious . opposition to the Govei nment. • Is' Dr. BOWEING was one of those who certioni;siefi think that the original organisation of this Col" 111 ,", - .00 1. ivould have established a central control which topii have proved of great effeciency and usefulness, n ° is to t for the protection of the rate-payers. but of t he 0 0 14 and distressed population.

Baronet was aware that 'on the 11' ' "134,; casiou when this measure was discussed, 'he ( I)l% poi cc e ring) had done every thing to put the desired . into . the hands of the Government, and st s tel it opposed and voted against every motion 0,10 . 1 , forward which tended to place any impedimen t ° 1 way. He agreed with the plan of the r, i t tot Commission as originally concocted. He believ e l.ork e e was framed with a philosophical and e view, and with a real desire to administe r ot ° , wants of the suffering, and to protect ti l w e 4, f payers ; he had certainly hoped that the Pool'l lt 00.4 missioners would have given effect to their Eerehsile powers in a kind, and generous, and, of tae spirit. He had occasion to see the Workingaeg,,iit Bill in the borough he had the honour 16 o f f+ and he had brought before that House, not one many cases of severe distress. He did net i sogl o o the conduct of the guardians, nor did he rost - -g accusation against the proceedings of the is lif, t s Commissioners, but he had thought it his ellitY o rth i lt' o e under the consideration of the House, a ste te d s b'i l :,o which was disgraceful to the state of society a u p old s tt tion of this country.
