A sum far more than equal to the value of the Policies is in vested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so as to be at all times available. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to twenty-five per cent. on the sums Paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in addition to the payment of the annual interest. The quinquennial meeting being only just past, a favourable opportunity now offers Tor the commencement of new Insu rances; parties now joining will be allowed to participate in the profits at the neat division, as if they had been insured for the whole period. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a spe.. eific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici tating scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad hooks. With the force of thin prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in pr&of of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled " Manhood," is one of the few books now corning before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able:—Magnct. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. Th, clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effeglits is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex • trumely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita • tinn in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, su"h as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that Many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, &e., hitherto the opp: obria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of ffections. We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for prodncing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &e., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as %%ell as physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will he most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. Messrs. Curtis and Company are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Fri;h-street, Soho-square, Londe,. Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their eases.—As to the duration of the com- Plaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, aid occu pation in life of the party ; the communication must be ac companied by the usual consultation fee of 1/., without which, no entice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases the most inviolable seeresy may ho relied on. FOR BILE, INDIGESTION, ANI) DISORDERS OF THE STOMACH AND LIVER. DR. A. A. HA. RVEY'S ANTIBILIOUS and FAMILY APERIENT PILLS hive long bean prescribed and found eminently useful by one of the most experieLced member of the ollege of Surgeons, who, from his extensive practice since he has resided in Bath, and in the East Indies while Surgeon in the Honourable East India Company's Ser. vice, has had innumerable instances brought un ler his notice of the send' atibrded by these Pills. 'I hey have been for many years known - only to a limited extent, but the increasing de mand for them :n other places his induced the Proprietor to offbr them snore generally to the public. From the want of a mediiine such as this, irregularities have often Leen neglected and suffered to increase till disease in its more fearful forms has laid hold of the vitals, and relief now sought has failed and shorn only the fay of delay.

ANUARY 4, 1842 THE SLAVE ;TRADE. CORRESPONDENCE RELATN6 TO THE DETEN TION OF AMERICAN VESSELS ON THE AFRI CAN COAST BY_ BRITISH ARMED CRUISERS. (Conti:moil from :Ike Sun of ;•;:ttnrday.) - LORD ARERLIEEN TO MR. STEVENSON. Foreign-office, ()et. 13, 1841. The undersigned, her M ij e ety'e prirecierl Secretary of State for Foreign Afr e i ss , l ine had the honour to re cei% e the note of Mr. Sc!-. e ison,Etivoy Extraordinary and Mioister Plerlipotenthry of the United States of America, dated on the 10th of September, in continuation of a correspondence with the predecessor of the undersigned in this office, and relating to the visitation of vessels bearing the American fl tg, and suspected of being engaged in the African slave trade. If the unde:signed feels it necessary te offer some remarks upon the note of Mr. Stevenson, he is desirous of doing so in the mariner LeA calculated to ensure a candid and impartial consideration ; for he would deeply regret • that any harshness or asperity of expression should aggravate the difficulties of a subject which is, at all times, but too liable to produce excitement and irrita'ion. The undersigned is-aware of the suscepti bility of national feeling in all drat affects national ho nour, and he requests Mr. Stevenson to believe that it is with the most unfeigned respect for the rights, honour, and independence of' the United States, that he now proceeds to address th . cm. • The undersigned will forbear from entering into any particulars of the visitation of the vessels which has.formed the principal matter of Mr. Stevenson's complaint to her M ejesty'e„ Liveraienent, and which has been fully discussed- in his correspondence with the predecessor of the undersigned. That proceeding may have been justifiable or other wise, and the undersigned will be prepared, if necessary, to enter with Mr. Stevenson into the details of the question ; but his present object is that of a more general nature. Ile is desirous of placing very briefly before Mr. Stevenson the consequences of those principles which he has laid down, and to ap peal to his candour—the undersigned had almost said to the dictates of plain sense—in order to reject such a conclusion as that which must necessarily flow from the arguments contained in Mr. Stevenson's note. Mr. Stevenson claims for the American flag an abso lute exemption from all interference, and utterly denies the right of the British Government, under any circum stances whatever, to visit, in time of peace, merchant vessels bearing the flag of the Union. Mr. Stevenson quotes the opinion delivered by Lerd Stowell upon this subject, who declares that, in order to extirpate this odious traffic, it would not be lawful to capture vessels, even if they had slaves on board ; and a's') that, for the same purpose, however laudable, no right of search could be adrdtted to exist. Now, the undersigned is the last person who would presume to question the authority of the distinguished jurist to whom Mr. Stevenson has referred. But Mr. Stevenson will recollect that the judgment of Lord Stowell was delivered in the case of a French vessel which had actually been captured, and was condemned by a British tribunal. The sentence was reversed by Lord Stowell, in the year 1817. At that period Great Britain had no reason to presume that the slave trade was regarded as criminal by the whole civilised world, or that all nations bail united their efforts for its sup pression. And, even if such had been the case, it would have been very far from affording coy justifica tion of the sentence reversed. But the - undersigned must observe that the present happy concurrence of the States of Christendom in this great object, not merely justifies, but renders indispensable, the right nom claimed and exercised by the British Government. Toe under signed readily admits that to visit and search American vessels in time of peace, when that right of search is not granted by treaty, would be an infraction of public and independ ence . law ßat a n n a d s e a v e n h t is o f a n s a s t e i r o t n e a d l . dig n i ey We sincerely desire to respect vessels of - the United States, but we may reasonably expect to know what it reedy is that we respect. Doubtless the fig is prima fircie evidence of the nationality of the vessel ; and if this evidence were, in its nature, conclusive and irrefragi ble, it ought to pr ec l u d e a ll f urt h er i nqu i ry. B ut i t i s sufficiently notorious that the flags of all nations are liable to be assumed by those who have no right or title to bear them. Mr. Stevenson himself fully admits the extent to which the American Wig has been employed for the pur pose of covering this infamous traffic. Thi undersigned joins witta.-Mr.'Stevenson in deeply lamenting the evil, and he agtes with him in thinking that the Uaitcd States ought not to be considered re sponsible for this abuse cf their flag. But if all inquiry be resisted, even when carried no farther than to ascer tain the nationality of the vessel, and i.npunity be claimed for the mast lawless and desperate of mankind in the commission of this fraud, the undersigned greatly fears that it may be regarded as something like an assutnp tiim of th►t responsibility which has been deprecated by Mr. Stevenson. While Mr. Stevenson deplores the prevalence of elis abuse, and the nefarious character of the trade, can he be satistiA that no remedy should be applied or at tempted ? The undersigned hopes and believes that the number of bona fide American vessels engaged in the trade is very small, and thus the danger of interference with such vessels by British cruisers must he of rare occurrence. Mr. Stevenson will admit that his objection to this interference would, under any circumstances, tend in its consequences to the protection of an abominable traffic, stigmatised by the whole Christian world ; but the con fession of Mr. Stevenson that the trade is extensively carried on under the fraudulent use of the American nag, does in truth justify the whole claim put forward by the British Government. It constitutes that reasonable ground of suspicion which the law of nations requires in such a case. The admitted fact of this abuse creates the right of inquiry. The undersigned renounces all pretension on the part of the British Government to visit and search Ameri can vessels in time of peace. Nor is it as American that such vessls are ever visited. But it has been the invariable practice of th e B r i t i sh N avy, and, as the un• dersigned bel eves, of all navies in the world, to ascer tain by visit the real nationality of merchant vessels met with on the high s.3as, if there be good reason to appre hend their illegal character. In certain latitudes, and for a particular object, the vessels referred to arc visited, not as American, but ether as British vessels engaged in an unlawful traffic, and carrying the flag of tt:e United States for.a criminal purpose, or as belonging to States which have by treaty conceded to Great - Britain the right of search, and which right it is attemptel to defeat by fraudulently bearing the protecting - flag of the Utlion; cr finally, they are visited as piratical outlaWt, poisessing no claim to any flag or nationality vilmt•cver. Now, it can scarcely be maintained by Mr. Stevenson that Great Britain should bZI bound to permit her own subjects, with British vessels and British capital, to carry on before the eyes of British officers this detest able triffic in human beings, which the law has declared to-be piracy, merely because they had the audacity to commit an additional offen ce by f rau d u l ent l y usurp i ng the American flag._ Neither could Mr. Stevenson, with more reason, affirm that the subjects of States utile!' Lave granted to Great Brit•tin the right of search should be enabled to violate the obligation of their treaties, by displaying the flirof the Union, contrary to the will and in defiance of the American Government itself. Still less would Mr. Sitltenson pretend to claim im. munity for piratical adveuturers who should endeavour to shelter their lawless proceedings tinder the ensign of the United.Stites. --- --- But, unless Mr. Stevenson be prepared to maintain it these propositions, the whole fabric of his argument fall s to the ground ; for the undersigned admits that if th e flag that no v esse l beating crui ser, except under British cruiser should possess a knowledge of th e Ame rican character of any vessel, h i s v is , tation of suc h ves sel would be entirely unjustifiab le . lie farther admits that so much respect anti honour oughtare du due to b e the visi t ed b American y a British the most grave suspicions and well-found e d d ou b ts of the genuinent ss of its character. The undersigned, a'though with pain, mu s t a dd , that if such visit should l ea d to • the proof of th e A mer i can b orioin of the ve:sol, and that she was avow e dl y engaged in the slave trade, exhibiting to vie w t h e manacles, let ters, and other usual i mp i g ments of t orture, or had even a number of these unfortunate beings on board, no Bri tishofficer could interfere farther. Ho might give information to the eruisers of the voyag e ya r U es n t it o e r d i S m t p a c t d es e , but it itprweoseueliul prosecution of obfe the in his U ge and the power to or success of the undert a ki n g. It is obvious, th ere f ore , t hat the utmost cau t ion is necessary in the exer c i se of the right cl a i med b y Great Britain. While we h ave re course to th e necessary, and indeed the only m eans f or detecting impo s t ure, t h e prac tice will b e care f u ll y guar d e d, and limited to c ases o f strong suspicion. Th e un dersigned b egs to assure Mr. Ste% enson th a t th e atost prec ise and p os i t i ve instructions have been is sue d to h er M a j e sty's offic ers on th i s subject. The United States have stigmatised this abominable trade in terms of abhorrence as }Aron. as the people.of this country. Tney are also actively engeged in its suppression. But; if, i ns t e ad.of joinin g their efforts to those of Gre a t B r it a i n , an d labourin g w i th her for the attainment of thi s grea t bl ess ing to hu man i ty, the United States had .wished to Follow a different C ourse, t h e rea soning employed in Mr.Stevsnson's note is precisely such as would be resorted to for its defence and justification. The undersigned, with his conviction of the perfect good faith and sincerity of the Government of the U:.ited States, would almost fear to offend Mr? Steve nson even by disclaiming any such suspicion ; but he be lieves Mr. Stevenson will agree with him in lamentug that the effects of the policy of the United Stitt shou'd have any tendency to create a different impression in the minds of those who arc disposed to think less favourably and less Fist!) , upon this subject. Great Britain Makes no pretension, claims no right, which she is not ready and desirous to concede to the United States. A mutual right of search, regulated in sues a mon ner as to prevent the occurrence of any irritating circum- . stances, has elways appeared to the undersigned to ba the most simple, r.r.d most effectual method of attaining the great object which both Governments have in view. But this proposal has already been rejected by Cie United Stites, and the underigned is not instructel again to offer it for consideration. It, is for the Aaerican Government alone to doter mine what may be duo to a just regard for their national dignity and national interests ; but the undersigned must be permitted to express bis conviction, that rights which have been mutually conceded to each other by the Governments of Great Britain and France can scarcely be incompatible with the honour and indepen dence of any State upon the face of the earth. The undersigned avails himself of this occasion to re quest of Mr. Stevenson to accept the assurances of his distinguished consideration. ABERDEEN. A. Stevenson, Esq., &c. MR. STEVENSON TO LORD ABERDEEN. 32, Upper Grosvenor -street, Oct. 21, 1841. The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States of America, has the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the note which Lord Aberdeen, her Majesty's Principal Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs did him the honour to address to him, under date of the 13th instant, in answer to the one from the undersigned of the 10th of September, relative to the visitation and interruption to which the vessels and commerce of the United States have been subjected by British cruisers in the African seas, and which has been mada the subject of complaint to her Majesty's Government ; and, having considered with the attention which their importance merits the argumeats presented by Lord Aberdeen's note, the undersigned has now the honour to submit to his Lord ship's consideration the observations which he feels himself called upon to make. Before proceeding to do so, however, the undersigned will take occasion to remark that he shares fuliy in the opinion expressed by Lord Aberdeen as to the import ance of avoiding, in the discussion of grave questions of a national character, everything calculated to emb.irrass or throw difficulties in the way of impartial anf dispas sionate consideration. The undersigned, therefore, with great sincerity, assures Lord Aberdeen of the readiness and zeal with which he is disposed to conduct the ne gotiations between the two countries on his part, in a manner the most conciliatory and best calculated to pre serve peace ; end that he should equally deplore with Lord Aberdeen that any harshness or asperity of ex pression should be suffered to mingle in the discussion of a question involving national sensibility of feedng, and so liable, as his Lordship justly supposes, to produce ex citement and irritation. He begs Lord Aberdeen,there fore, to believe that it is under the influence of such feelings, and with the most perfect respect both for bias self and for her M rjesty's Government, that he now proceeds to reply to those parts of his Lordship's note, which he deems it his duty to notice. To enable him to do this, it may be important to ascertain what is the real question at issue between the two Governments, and the precise nature of the power asserted by her Majesty's Government over the vessels and commerce of the United States. It may be thus briefly stated : The. Government of Great Britain, with that of other nwions, regardisig the African slave trade as a great evil, united in measures for its abolition. For that purpose laws were passed and treaties concluded giving to the vessels of each of the contracting psrti_s the mutual right of search under certain limitations. Independent of these treaties, and under the principles of public law, this right of search could not be exer cised. The United States were invited to become a party to these treaties; but, for reasons which they deemed satisfactory, and growing out of the peculiar character of their institutions and systems of Goveroment, they declined doing so. They deemed it inexpedieirt, under any modification, or in any form, to yield the right of having their vessels searched or interfered with in time of peace upon the high seas. With the history of the negotiations which took place on this subject between the two Government!, Lord Aberdeen is doubtless informed. In the meantime seine of the Powers who were parties to those treaties, and ettnirs who refused to become so, continued to prosecute their slave traffic ; and, to enable them to do so with more effect, they resorted to the use of flags of other nations, bet more particelsrly that of the United States. To prevent this, and enforce her treaties, Great Britain deemed it important that her cruisers in the African seas should have the right of get tinkle and examining all vessels navigating those seas, for the purpose of ascertaining their national character. Against this practice the Government of the United States pro tested, and the numerous cases out of which the present discussion has arisen, became subjects of complaint and negotiation betweete the two Governments. Her Majes ty's Government, however, having refused to in eke reparation in any - of the cases, and still asserting the right of her cruisers to continue the practice ofdetain ing and examining all vessels on the coast and in the African seas, it becomes important that the precise charade.- and extent of the right thus claimed should be clearly ascertained. In the last note which the undersigned hail the honour of addressing to Lord Aberdeen, he attempted to show, in the first place, that the right asserted by her Majesty's Government, in Lord Palmerston's note of the 27th of August, was substantially a rigid qf search ; aid in the next place, that, if it was not, still the right of interference in the manner asserted, with the vessels or flags of other cations, not parties to these treaties, was not less un lawful and unju,titiable. Now, Lord Aberdeen disclaims the right of search ing Aniericin vessels on the high seas, and admits that to do so would be a gross infraction of the public law, and a violation of rational sovereignty and independence. But his Lordship contends that, in requiring vessels sailing under the flag of the United States to submit to the operistion of examination, in the manner and for the objects proposed by his Government, there would be no:violation of national rights or honour ; and, conse quently, nothing to which the Government of the United States ought rightfully to object. Upon this branch of the subject the undersigned does not intend to repeat the arguments containell in his previous correspondence with her Majesty's late Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Referring Lord Aberdeen to that correspondence, Ire will content himself with submitting such additional observations as his Lordship's last note has rendered necessary. Is the right, then, claimed by her Majesty's Govern ment, less an infraction of the principles of public law and the rights of independent States than that of search, which is disclaimed Now Lord Aberdeen will remark the right asserte d by his predecessor for he r M a j es ty' s Government, 15 clear and explicit. It is thus stated in Lord Palmers ton's note :—" That her Majesty's Government have decided that the flag of the United States shall exempt no vessel (whether American or not) from search by her Majesty's cruisers in the African seas, unless such vessel shall be found provided with papers entitling her to the protection of the flag she wears, and proving her to be United Stites property, and navigating the oc. an according to law." Of w h at l aw, however, whether pane or municipal, his Lordship does not sta! e, but leaves to be inferred. This doctrine Lord Aberdeen is understood to affirm. Now, in the first place, here is an actual denial of the right of vessels of the United States to navigate the ocean in time of ' peace, without being subject to detention and examination, and without proof of their being the property'of citizens of the United States, and documented according to law. It constitutes the com mandant of every British cruizer the exclusive judge to decide whether such vessels, in the language of his Lordship, be "properly provided with papers entitling them to the protection y the flag they wear, and proving them to be United States' property, and navigatiNg the ocean according to law." What essential difference, then, is there between . the right of search, in its harshest form, and that of ar resting the vessels of a n ind e p en d e nt nation on their voyage, emnpelling their officers to leave their vessel!, and subjecting them and their papers to the exami nation and decision of every subordinate naval com mander ? Is it not the right of placing British cruizers on any part of the ocean that her Majesty's Governincat may select, and prescribing the terms upon which other nations are to participate in the freedom of the seas? Is it not, in effect, a claim of ju risdiction over the whole of the African coasts and se is as exclusive as that which could only be enjo}ed within the acknowledged limits of local sovereignty? To these questions but one answer can be given. It must be in the affirmative. But to what consequences would not such a power lead, if once submitted to ? Where would it end ? If Great Britain can exercise such power, why may not other nations do the same? What is there to prevent those States, especially, which have entered into treaties for the abolition of slavery, from subjecting the vessels and commerce of the United States to similar interruptions and embarrassments? Why should not Hayti (which has lately been in duced to prohibit the slave trade) authorise her cruisors to follow the example of her Majesty's PRICE 5d Government ? By one of her recent laws upon the subject, she did assert a similar right ; but it was afterwards chanced, at the instance of Great Brit tin, upon the ground that no nation had the right in time of peace to enforce the provisions of their laws and trea ties ag iinst States esho were not parties to them, anJ consequently not bound by them. In the note addressed by the undersigned to Lord Palmerston, under date of 27tli of February, 1841, and referred to in the one to Lord Aberdeen, al.usion was m ide to tic proceed inv.& of her Majesty's Government, under which the llaytian Government wee° induced to change their laws. Az that time, at least, it is presumed, her Majesty's Go. vernuient had not determined to assert this right of do. minion over the sea. But again, why might not the right of search for seamen and deserters, and that of impress ment, be defended upon the principles of the present claim? Let it be supposed, for purposes of illustration, thatGrest Britain had entered into treaties with other nations, by which the right ofaearch for seamen or deserters wasgi yen to the vessels of each other, and that some of the contracting St iter, in order to evade their engagements, should re. sort to the frauduhnt use of the flags of other nations. And suppose, &so, that with the view of enforcing these treaties, it should be deemed expedient to assert a right of boarding and examining, upon the high sea=, the vessels of nations who had not surrendered the right, and were not partici to the treaties Does Lord Ab - etdren or her Majesty's Government believe that such a power would be tolerated by any independent nation upon the face of the earth ? And yet, what difference would there be between such a case and the cne under consideration, except that the one would re late to slavery and the other to impressment ?—subjects, probably, equally important in the view of her Ma jesty's Government. It was against the exercise of any such right that the distinguished jurist to whom reference has been made, declared (while sitting as a Court under the law of na tions) " that no authority could be found which gave any right of visitation or interruption over the vessels and navigation of other States, on the high seas, except that which the right of war gives to belligerents against neutrals, and that Great Britain had no right to force her way to the l'beration of Africa by trampling upon the rights and independence of other nations for any good, however eminent." Upon what principles, then, of public law or of common right or justice, such a power as that now asserte 1 is to be defended or justified, her Majesty's Government does not deem it expedient to state. As yet, it has beer left to stand for its whole effi cacy upon the grounds of expediency. The undo signed must, therefore repeat the opinion expressed in his note to Lord Aberdeen, that there is no essential difference whatever between the right of search and that now asserted by her Majesty's Govern ineut. But Lord Aberdeen contends that, in resisting tl.e exercise of this right in the form in which it has been made, the undersigned is necessarily compelled to claim, cot only immunity for th e fl ag o f t h e U n i te d Sates and all the piratical adventurers who are endea vouring to shelter themselves under it, but to in sintain that Great Britain herself would be bound to pet mit her own subjects, with British vessels and Brit;sh capital, to carry on their traffic under their own eyes, provided it was done under the fraudulent use of an American ; and his Lordship further declares that unless the undersigned is prepared to maintain to their full extent these propositions, the whole fabric of his argument must fall to the ground. Now, the undersigned begs to observe that Lord Aberdeen has greatly misapprehended the principles and arguments contained in the note which he had the honour of addressing to his Lordship, and which it be comes proper to seize the earliest moment of correct ing. This the undersigned will the more readily do, because he is persuaded, from the spirit in which Lord Aberdeen's note is written, that he will take pleasure in correcting any misapprehension into which he may unintentionally have been drawer. Indeed, the un dersigned must have expressed himself very imperfectly. if, in denying the right of interfering with vessels under the American fin, he did not convey the opinion that he in tended to limit his objection to vessels bone fide Ame rican, and not to those belonging to nations who might fraudulently have assumed the flag of the United States. With the vessels of other nations, whether sailing under their own or another lag, the Govern ment of the United States can have no authority or• desire to interfere. Tne undersigned, therefore, did net mean to be understood as denying to Great Brit sin, or any other nation, the right of seizing their vessels or punishing their subjects for any violation of their laws or treaties, provided, however, it should be done without violating the principles of public law of the rights of other nations. Nor arc such the consequences which can fairly be deduced from the argument which he had the honour of addressing to Lord Aberdeen, and which his Lordship seems so greatly to have misapprehended. Great Britain has the undoubted right, and so have all other nations, to detain and examine the vessels of their own subjects, whether slavers or not, and whether with or without a 11 ig purporting to be that of the United States ; but, in doing this, it must be borne in mind that they have no colour of right, nor will they be per mitted, to extend such interference to the vessels or citizens of the United States sailing under the pro tect on of the flag of their country. If Great Britain, or any other nation, cannot restrain tie slave trsflic of their own people npon the ocean nithout violating the rights of other nations and the freedom of the seas, then indeed the impunity of which Lord Aberdeen speaks will take place. This may be deplored, but it cannot be avoided. But Lord Aberdeen asserts that it has been the invariable practice of the British navy, and he belie\ Cs of all the navies in the world, to ascertain by visit the real charac ter of merchant vessels met with on the high seas, if there be good reason to apprehend their illegal cha racter. Now, the undersigned must be excused for doubting whether any such practice as that which Lord Aberdeen supposes, certainly not to the extent now claimed, has ever prevailed in time of peace. In war the right of visitation is practised, under the limita tions authorised by the laws of nations, but not i e p eace . What other nation than Great Bri tain has ever asserted or attempted to exercise it ? None, it is believed. 'There is another misappre hension, also, into which Lord Aberdeen seems to have calico, that it may be important to correct. It relates to as admission which his Lordship supposes the undereigned to have made, as to the extent of the abuse of the American flag for the purpose of slave traffic. Now, the undersigned would submit, that he did not intend to express, nor did he, any opinion as to the extent to which, the flag of the United States was abused by other nations. So far front it, he expressly stated, as Lord Aberdeen will perceive by reference to his note, that neither he nor his Government had the means of forming any opinion upon the subject. He admitted the abuse of the flag, and deplored it, but to what extent he gave no opinion. Nor can the undersigned yield to the force of the reasoning employed by Lord Aberdeen, arising out of the limited number of bone fide American vessels en gaged in the slave trade, to prove that the danger of interference with American vessels will be of rare oc- 'cOrrence. Hcrreadily admits, with Lord Aberdeen, that there arc tcw American vessels, if aoy, engaged in the slave trade ; but, in admitting the fact, he does not perceive very clearly what bearing it can have upon the present discussion, or how the smallness of the number of American slavers can at all guard against the evils which Lurd Aberdeen sup poses. For, if it be true, as his Lordship contends, that the abuse by other nations of the flag of the United States is one of increasing extent, and that it can in no way he pi evented but by the examination of all vessels sailing under the flag of the United States ; and as it must also be admitted that there are nume- roux American vessels engaged in lawful commerce in the African seas, which, with other vessels, arc to be subjected to detention and examination ; what possible effect can the number of American slavers have in preventing the interference to that more nume rous class of merchantmen who arc to be found engaged in commerce throughout the whole of the African seas? If there was not a single vessel of the United States engaged in the slave trade, the evils and interruptions which Lord Aberdeen is so desirous of avoiding must still take place, whenever the right shall be attempted to be enforced against those vessels that are not slavers. But the great caution which is to be observed in the exercise of the right, and the careful manner in which it will be guarded, is greatly relied on by Lord Aberdeen in its defence. Indeed, his Lordship declares that so much honour and respect are due to the flag of the United States, that it is only to be exercised in certain latitude, and exclusively confined to cases where the strongest suspicion and well-founded doubts exist. Now the undersigned would respectfully ask of what consequence it can be to the United State; if their rights or the honour of their flag are violated, whether it is clone upon one part of the ocean or another? In relation to the well-founded suspicion to which Lord Aberdeen refers, it might have been eicsirable (if the manner of exercising an unlawful power can excuse it) that his Lordship should have stated what the par ticular character and degree of the suspicion was to be which was alone to justify the interference of her Ma jesty's cruisers. That such a right as that claimed, if it ex- isted, i could not safely be confided to those of her Nlajes ty's cruisers who have heretofore been in the habit of exercising it, the undersigned feels himself warranted in supposing. This, be presumes, will be satisfactorily shown by the cases which he has heretofore presented to her Majesty's Government, and for which no : rcparation has yet been made. These cases will show the embarrass- //2 r~~~ E'V'ltN I BU , rnehtl and injativs to width the ttriaa anzl r4 . lril ore: e? the United Stateo, throughout the whole of ti:o Afrioan seas, have already been subjeettA by the vexation s seizu res an d d etent i ons of her Nlvjesly's cruisers, and is most of thetn ~ vithuu! ju,titication or exeusr. That the right astute(' by her lv:ak.sty's Govern merit may be regarded as iiiipcdant,nuty net be doubted. Indeed, the undersigned would net mt frarkiy towards Lord Aberdeen, it he were to pretend thct the coese• peaces of refusing the exercise of the right by the American Gorernment might not th row ver y g r ea t difficulties In tits way of executing the existing treaties for the obllition of the slave trade ; bu', as he hes taken occasion heretofore to observe, the admission eon neither strer4;then the claim of right, nor diminish the forea cf the objeoiions to it on the pat of the United Sta . es. There remains only o:.e other part of' Lord Aber 'teen's note which the un lersigt,el deems i t necessary at this tune to notice. It is that in which bis Lordship expresses the opinion that any right varch whi c h shall have b. en concede I by two such Guverntnents n 4 Franca and G:rat scartey be considered amt incomPitiYe the honour and littler idenc , e of any nation up on eart h. N am , if L or d Abertitcn a remark was inteaded to apply to the proposal nhicli was made by her M.je,ty's Government tg that of the United States for a mutual right of s arch, secured and guarded by treaty stipulations, the under.igned has no observa4 tion to make ; but if this opinion of his Lordship %vas intended ta apply t, the right now asserted by Great Britain, and proposed by her Government to be exercised in time abscace of a'l convmtional arrangC4 meat, then the undersi g ned must Le alkwe l / 4 1 to expregt his decided distent. That the exercisiltf mutual riglith properly secured, might not be incompatible with Da• tional honour and sovereignty he re idily admits, kat• much as the contracting parties woul I stand upon the looting of equality and security, This he presumes to be the case between Prance and theat Britain ; but such ~would not be the case between Urcat Britain and thcLaitcd Sutteb The undersigned must, eierefore, after the most careful consideration of the arguments adrsneod in Lord Aberdeen's note, repeat the opinion which he has hcre:oforc expres.scd, that if a power such as that which is now asserted by her Majesty's Government shall be enforced, not only without consrnt, but in the face of a direct refusal to concede it, it can be regarded in no other light by the Government of the United States than a violation of nat:onal rights and sovereignty, and the incontestable principles of international law. That its exercise may lead to consequences of a painful character, there is too much lesson to apprehend. In cases of conflicting rights between nations, the precise line which neither can pass, hut t) which each may alvance, is not easily found or marked ; and y t :t existi, evh itetcr may be the difficulty of discerning it. In ordinary cases of disagreement there is little danger ; each nation may, arid of en does yield, something to the other. Such, however, it is to be feared, is not the present case. The peculiar nature of tic power asserted, and the consequences which may be apprehended from its exer cise, in Ike, it on ,t of an important a momentuus cha racter. I nvol v lug, as it does, questions of high and dangerous sovereignty, it may be justly re garded as deeply endangering the good understand ing of the tw count.'ies. Ought her Majesty's Go vernment, then, under such c l scumstances, to insist upon its enforcement'? That it will not, the under signed cannot perm's himself to doubt. Ile wll there fore continue to cherish the live that, upon a earelul review of the whole subject, her Majesty's Govern ment will see the importance of adopting other mea sures for the suppression of the sirs, e trade th .n these now pcor used, sod which will be far better cd. ulsted, not only to accomplish the object desired, but to pre survc the I;:eadly rilitions of the two countries upon principles consistent with the interest and honour of both. The undersigned avails himself of the occasion to re new to Lord Aberdeen assurances of his distinguished consideration and respect. A. S'I'EVENSON. To the Earl of Aberdeen. DISTRESS AT STOCKPOR T. The fol Awing statement has been published by the authority of the, Mayor of Stockport : It is well known th.et the cotton manufacture of this kingdom has been long and greatly depressed, and that numbers of persons engaged in it have been thrown out of employment, and great distress occasioned in the va rious towns and di,tricts of which it is the staple ma nufacture. Toe borough of Stockport, the working population of which is engaged almost exclusively in this manufacture, has suffered in common with other towns, from its general and long-continued depression. The distress so occasioned has been increased to an ex tent, it is believed, beyond that of any other tots n, by special and peculiar circumstances of a local influence. We allude to the entire stoppage of some of the largest establishments in the town and neighbourhood, by which several thousand persons have been thrown out of employment, who still remain without anti• pros pect of being able to return to it. . _ Of the e t sbleihments at work, a great part are so only partially ; and the working of short time (that is of four days per week) has been continued to a g►ester or less exte:it since May last. Upwards of one-third ef the horse-power in the town and neighbourhood is unemployed, which, if at work, would give e mem to more than 4,000 persons. It is believed that there are, altogether, about 5,000 operatives of various trades unable to obtain employment. The COM.. queneel of this suspension of labour arc cat, naive loss and suffering among all (dusts dependent upon trade, and unex:mpled distress and privation among the work ing population. fins distres , , heightened' as it now is by the severity of the weather, has arrived at u pitch of which it is impossible to convey any adequate id.a by mere statistical information. The Poor -rates have reeularly increased, and are now become a serious drain upon the diminished resources of the comparatively few who are able to pay them. Families, tw. , or three together, are crowding into one house, or leaving their cottages for c.llars some are quitting their native land : numbers, having exchanged all but the la ar ticles of then- wearing apparel for the means of ►.ustain ing life, arc on the verge of destitution. Honest men, willin g to work, are compelled, with their entire fami lies, to become street mendicants, or to live, c►a, by day, on the precarious charity of their neighbours ; and besides an increase of disease arising, in a great tnel sure, from a deficiency of food ; many, it is to be feared, are literally starving to death. Of 15,826 :n fi viduals, inhabiting 2,965 houses, lately visited under the direction of a Committee appointed for the purpose, 1,204 only were found to be fully tinfleyed ; 2,866 partially employed, and 4,148, able to work, were wholly without employment• The remainder 7,605 persons were unable to work. The average weekly income of the above 15,823 per sons was Is. 4p. each. The average weekly wages of those fully employed were 7s. (lid. each. The avt2rage weekly earnings of those partially em ployed were 4s. 71d. The Committee appointed for the purposes of the relief now to be afforded, being fully convinced that all the effort; that can possibly be made in ti.e town and neighbourhood will be utterly inadequate to meet the pressing necessities of the case, have resolved, under the direction of the Meeting by which they were appointed, to make an appeal to their countrymen generally, and especially to those individuals and classes of society who feel little of the pressure of the times, or who are re moved from all fear of personal suffering and privation. 11UNIFICENCE AND LIBERALITY OF THE EARL OF KIN TORE.
