Lebeau, to his Excellency M. Verstolk Van Loelen. - We are not informed whether the answer to the letter was communicated to the Cham ber. The Stunts Courant, which inserts M. Lebeau's letter, makes some important remarks upon it :—‘‘ If there were otherwise no objection to a separate negocia tion between Holland and Belgium on the terms of the separation, yet it could not be made to agree with the de cision at London, by which the bases of the separation are already fixed. They are marked Appendix A. to the 12th Protocol of the Congress at London, and the King's assent to it has rendered it reciprocally bindine, on the Govern ment and on the five great Powers. They guarantee the ancient territory of the State as in 1790, including Dutch Flanders and the Dutch possessions in the province of Lemburg, also the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, and equitable arrangements for the division of the public debt. Now a separate negociation with Belgium would reverse all the demands of the latter on these points. We are quite ready here for the :reefing of Commissioners at Maestricht to determine the frontier line, and of others at the Hague for the settlement of the debt, according to the Protocol of London ; but the pro posal of a separate negociation, as now made, seems to in dicate that conditions are contemplated at Brussels, less advantageous to Holland than those of Appendix A. to the 12th Protocol ; such separate negociation would therefore again bring under discussion all that has already been arranged in London, and assented to by the King's Pleni potentiaries. It is further to be observed that a renewal of hostilities, and of a sepat ate negociation, at a moment when the Congress at London repeats its first declaration that it will oppose hostilities, and consider them as directed against the Four Powers themselves, and in which it re quires Belgium to accede to the arrangements made in London ; but if the regulation of the principles of the separation, according to the decision at London, is not to be allowed by a separate negociation, there is, never theless, reason a consider the arrangement as near at hand, in consequence of the unanimity of opinion on this subject between the Five Powers and the King's Government." In the Second Chamber of the States-General, several pe titions were presented respecting the contemplated changes on the tariff of customs. The discussion on the tariff is fixed for Wednesday. _ AMSTERDAM, MAY 1111 Actual Debt, 2% per cent 3 8 1,E to 3914 Amort Syndic, 4% per cent.

PETERSBURCH, MAY 7.—A Supplement to the Journal of St. Petersburgh gives a report from Count Diebitach, dated the 28th April, giving an account of the operations against the Poles on the 24th and following days, near Kuflew and Minsk. The Field-Marshal sends the report of Count Pahlen, whose corps was chiefly en gaged. The General states his whole loss at 10 officers, and between 200 and 300 soldiers. The loss most felt was that of the services of the brave Lieutenant-General Skobe lew, who was very severely wounded. The loss of the rebels both during the action and the whole time of their retreat was considerable. Count Tolstoi, who is appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Army of Reserve, will have under his immediate command the Governments of Witepsk, Mohilew, and Minsk, in which the Army of Reserve is stationed. His Majesty has made numerous appointments and pro motions, both in the civil and military service, Lieutenant- General Creutz is made General of Infantry, and Major- General Mendwhoff Lieutenant-General, for their services against the Polish rebels. The platina coin has got so rapidly into circulation in the interior of the kingdom, that the greater part of the platina that has been found is converted into coin. Some boats have arrived at Cronstadt from St. Peters burgh, but the drifting ice renders the communication dif ficult. From the general appearance of the ice, however, it may be expected that the navigation will soon be opened. Exchange on London, May 6.-10 18-16. LIMBERG, MAY 6.—General Rudiger having learned that Dwernicki's corps had laid down their arms, left his position at Kolodno and proceeded by way of Poezajoia to Radziwilow, where he arrived yesterday with his corps, which we hear is to march to the Bug to co-operate with the detachments of General Rosen, who now commands in the second line, and has to secure the country be- tween Brzesc, Labonel, and Woldirnirz. During the time that General Dwernicki was in Volbynia, insurrec tions had broken out in different places, which threatened to interrupt the communications, where lately a body of about 5,000 insurgents were surprised by some pulks of Cossacks and dispersed. The chiefs of the insurrection fell on this occasion into the hands of the Russians, by which the insurrection was stifled at its commencement, and the communication with 13:zet,c by way of Kowel is again free.

FRONTIERS OF BOSNIA, MAY 6.—The progress of the insurrection against the Sultan becomes daily more dang erous : nothing but a decisive v i ctory can save him, for 60,000 th ousan d men, un d er t h e com mand of Ali Bey, have already entered Sophia, resolved to march against Constantinople, if the ]'orte does not immediately accede to the d eman d s o f t h e i nsurgents, an d accept with out modification the ultimatum that has been sent to it. The insurgents demand-Ist. The disbanding of the regular troops. 2. The restoration of the Janissaries. 3. The restoration of all the confiscated property of all Janissaries w h o were executed, and of those who are still living. 4. The restoration of the privileges of which the Lleruas have been deprived. 5. Alteration of the new tax es . 6. Indemnity for all the losses sustained since the overthrow of the ancient institutions, as well as for the *apences of the present war. All t h ese are con di t i ons Which the Sultan cannot grant, and the acceptance of tvhich, or even one th em , would cost him his throne and his life. Yet it is difficult to imagine how he can save himself without making concessions to the rebels, as they have adherents in the capital who are more to be feared than the enemy without. Besides the regular troops hardly amount to 10,000 men, and these are in a wretched condition. From the European Powers the Sultan can expect no help its Adrianople, and along the chain of the Balkan the peoples' minds have been wholly ►lienated from the Porte since the late unfortunate war, and the old capital of the empire disowns the Sovereign. The Grand Vizier who commands the only considerable force was not a match for the Pacha of Scutari;and it is even reported, that after having been blockaded foi three weeks in Monastir, he surrendered at discretion to the Pacha of Scutari, and was soon afterwards beheaded. With the tragical end of Redschid Pacha, the most faithful and perhaps able,t of the servants of the Porte, its last sup port appears to have fallen, and Turkey is perhaps on the eve of a dreadful state of re volution and anarchy; the Servians, the Albanians, and the Bosnians are in a state of excitement, which gives reason to apprehend the worst, and it is generally affirmed that foreign influence is at work, and that these barbarous tribes have been excited to throw off every appearance of social order. The Lisbon Gazettes from the 9th to 14th May (both inclusive) contain no particular news concerning Portugal. In the ship news no arrivals of French ships occur. By an extract of a letter from the Agent to LLOYD'S, at Fayal, dated April 28, we have re ceived an account of the taking possession of the Island of Pico by the Terceira squadron : " The Island of Pico was taken possession of by the Terceira Regency troops last week, and five of their vessels are cruizing between this and Pico ; an attempt at landing is hourly expected."

VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT. His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR did not take his seat at Westminster to.day till half-past one o'clock, in consequence of its being the first day of Trinity term, and his Honour having, along with the other Judges and King's Counsel, to breakfast with the Lord Chancellor. CREW V. His Hoxowt, on coming into Court, observed, that, pursuant to the request of Counsel, he had seen Mr. Hungerford Crew, an infant, and Mr. Ofiley Crew, the gentleman whom the Master had represented was a fit and proper person to be appointed his guardian, and upon having a conversation with them his Honour felt himself 'called upon to confirm the Master's report, approving of Mr. Wiley Crew as guardian, but as to he Mr. H. Crew, being permitted to travel abroad, it was his Honour's opinion, in which Mr. Offky Crew joined, that that should not be permitted. The COURT then proceeded with motions, but nothing of importance came before his Honour up to the period of our reporter leaving at two o'clock. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. This being the first day of Trinity Term, their Lord ships, as usual, came down in procession with the Loan CHANCELLOR and the other Judges, and did not take their seats till half-past one o'clock. Their Lordships then took motions, but nothing of any importance transpired up to the time our reporter left. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) STATE OF THE POLLS. PEMBROKESHIRE. NORTHAMPTONSHIRE.

We are again gratified with the appearance of steam boats in our harbour; no less than seven having arrived within these two days. The last week has been unusually cold for the advanced state of the season, the wifld being generally from the north and east, and the banks of the river are still much encumbered with heavy masses of ice. (From the Quebec Papers.) The ice and high waters appear to have done conside'r able damage at Montreal, and in addition to the accounts from the Montreal Gazette, the whole valley of St. Law rence, for miles together, appears like a lake, as the thaw has been rapid beyond all precedent. Melted snow runs in torrents - through the streets. The Port-au-Prince Papers do not contain any news. We have a great number of foreign arrivals this morn ing, but most part of their contents are already antici pated in the morning journals. The accounts from War saw, of the 10th of May, state that favourable accounts have been received there frosts \Vilna, which is surrounded by fourteen thousand of the insurgents, preventing the Russians in garrison there from having any communi cation with the main army ; there are also three thou sand of them at Kowno, and every where the people are arming. The insurrection is extending more and more in Lithuania. Prince Oginski has sent thirty thousand 'pea sants to the army, and distributed ten thousand muskets to the country people. The Commander-in-Chief of the Polish army has promised to send them nine thousand regular troops. According to letters from Hamburg, Diebitsch has left 10,000 sick at Siedlec. It is said that be has received orders from the Emperor of Russia to take Warsaw, cost what it will. THE FUNDS. The extensive failure which took place on Saturday at the Stock Exchange is still the topic of conversation in the city; but we understand that the gentleman in ques tion has come forward in a very honourable manner, and given up 20,0001. to his creditors to pay part of his dif ferences, which amounted to 50,000/.

A Lisbon mail has arrived, sailed on the 15th of May. We do not hear that it brings any news of importance. By the Mexican mail the accounts are favourable ; all was tranquil there. We understand that 61,000 dollars are come over to pay the dividends. The Island of Pico was taken on the 28th of April ; there are now five vessels from Terceira cruizing between Pico and Fayal. The above island is the place where they make wine to provide Terceira, as well as with cattle.

There is, consquently, ro intention of creating Peers for the purpose of securing the Reform Bill in the House of Lords. A large majority in favour of that measure, in the Upper House, is confidently anticipated, without the additiou of new Peers... , Court Journal. CORN EXCHANGE. Last week there were more moderate arrivals of Grain than for some time previously. This morning there is again a small fresh supply of Corn in general. The stock of Foreign Wheat here being large, causes the Wheat trade to continue dull, but good parcels both of English and Foreign maintain last quotations. Barley is dull, and hardly maintains its former rates. Beaus lind buyers at last Monday's terms. Pease meet very little demand. Oats are in fair supply, and good sweet parcels maintain the terms of this day se'nnight, but such as are light and unsweet are Is. per quarter lower. The top price of Flour being settled at 60s. per sack, there is rather more demand for that article. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP.

A certain Earl, conneeted with the Royal Household, has received a severe rebuke from the KING on account of his continued meddling and incessant chatter against the Reform Bill. The KING, on this occasion gives an additional sign of his own decided ►adherence to this great measure.— Times.—[How is this?—Editor of The Sun.] Mr. KEAN arrived in town on Friday night from Edinburgh, after having made a most successful tour.

On Saturday evening the KING gave a grand dinner to the Members of the Nulli Secundus Club, composed of Officers of the Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards, or those who have belonged to the regiment. Among them were the Earl of COURTOWN, the Earl of MuNsTER, Sir C. MORGAN, and Colonel FREDERICK FITZCLARENCE. The only exceptions among those present not belonging to the Coldstream Regiment were, Lord SALTOUN, of the Ist or Grenadier Regiment of Foot Guards, and Colonel BOWATER, of the Ist battalion of the Scotch Fusileer Guards. They were the only officers who wore regimen tals. Many of the old officers wore the old white regi mental buttons on blue coats. The Club was established by the late Duke of YORK, when Commander of the re giment. On dinner being announced, the KING left the state rooms, preceded by Sir FREDERICK WATSON, the Master of the Household, and followed by Lord ABOYNE and the rest of the company. On his MAJESTY'S entering the picture-gallery, the drums and fifes of the regiment struck up, " Oh, the roast beef of Old England." About eighty sat down to dinner in the banqueting room : the state plate was used on this occasion. During the dinner the band of the regiment, in full regimentals, played a number of fine pieces. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign-office, which was attended by the LORD CHAN CELLOR, Earl GREY, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, Lord Duanam, Viscount MELBOURNE, Viscount PALMERSTON, Lord HOLLAND, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and the Duke of RICHMOND. The Council sat in deliberation about two hours. After the breaking up of the Council, some of the Foreign Am bassadors and Ministers arrived at the Foreign-office, and had interviews with Viscount PALMERSTON. Despatches were received at the Colonial office yester day morning from the Earl of BELMORE, the Governor of Jamaica, and the other Governors of the West India Islands. Lord PONSONEY had an interview with Earl GREY yesterday. The Commissioners from Belgium transacted business at the Foreign-office on Saturday. Yesterday was the birthday of the Landgravine of HESSE HOMBURG, when her Royal Highness completed her 61st year.

The KING and QUEEN, the Landgra vine of HESSE HOMBURG, the Princess AUGUSTA, the Duchess of SAXE WEIMAR and family, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, and Prince GEORGE of Cambridge, attended by the Earl and Countess of ERROL, Baroness STEIN and Lady MARY TAYLOR, left the Palace at St. James's soon after ten o'clock yesterday morning in four carriages and four, for the Queen's Lodge in Bushy-park. The Duke, Duchess, and Prince GEORGE of CUMBERLAND, came to Bushy from their residence at Kew, to congratulate the Landgravine on the return of her natal day. Their MA JESTIES, and the whole of the Royal party, spent the day and dined at Bushy, and in the evening returned to town. The Princess AUGUSTA entertained the QUEEN, the Landgravine of HESSE HOMBURG, and the Duchess of SANE WEIMAR, at dinner on Saturd iy evening at her residence in the Palace at St. James':. The Hanoverian Minister, and the Earl and Countess HowE, were present to meet her MAJESTY.

A conference on the affairs of Belgium was held by the Ministers of the Five Great Powers on Saturday afternoon at the Foreign-office. There were present the Russian, Austrian, and French Ambassadors, the Prussian Minister, Count MATousHEwITz, (on a special mission from Russia), the Baron DE WElssENnuaa (on a special mission from Austria), and Viscount PALMERSTON. The conference lasted about three hours. A meeting of the Lords of his MAJESTY'S Most Honour able Privy Council was held at the Council-office on Satur day, for the further hearing of an appeal from Bombay, " Lussinan Row Sadaseu v.

The Lords present were the LORD CHANCELLOR, the LORD PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL, the JUDGE Of the ADMIRALTY COURT, and Lord JoHN RUSSELL. Mr. Serjeant SPANKIE having been heard in reply for the appellant, the LORD CHANCELLOR, on behalf of their Lordships, gave judgment. The decree of the Supreme Court of Bombay was affirmed. The costs of the appeal it was arranged should be paid on both sides out of the estate. The Hon. WILLIAM BATHURST attended as Clerk of the Council. THE GREAT DEFAULTER. (From the Times.) One of the largest falures which has occurred at the Stock Exchange for a long time, took place this morning (Saturday). It has been caused by large speculations for the fall of Consols, and also for the rise of Spanish stock ; in the former of which the broker in question is said to be a defaulter for about 45,0001., and on the latter for about 5,0001. His account in Consols is believed to be little, if at all, under 1,000,000/. The fluctuations in Consols which took place to-day (Saturday) are to be ascribed chiefly to the effect of this failure in the market, as many of the brokers who were connected with the defaulter were obliged to purchase stock, or otherwise to prepare for the fulfilment of their own contracts with others, while many entered into new speculations on the consequences of the failure. Consols opened at 831, fell to 821, then rose again to 83-a ; and after some further fluctuations of less importance, closed at S2i to s for the account. Exchequer-bills closed at Ss. which fell suddenly about to 9s. premium. and left off, having partially recovered, at The foreign market has maintained great steadiness, with of Spanish stock, the business, at 15i to 16. The others are all firm, and quoted, for the most part, though uominally, at higher prices. (From the Morning Horald.) one t t h h ee close e p l e c r e c P n f i et A great It failure in speculated the Stock for L x a fall - change.is said d has th at occurredale insolvent to-day has to the amount of nearly one million of Consols, besides considerable sales of Russian and other foreign stock. It i s believe that the differences will amount to between 50,00 0 /. sad 60,0001., to meet which he has balances in b a nd to the amount of six shillings and eightp ence i n th e pound. The defaulter, it seems, was the l e ad e r of th e B e ar, alias the borouzlimongering party, who like Sir Robert Peel, flattered them se l ves th a t th e R e f orm ques ti on would destroy public credit, and render the Funds almost valueless. Poor creatures! They have been reckoning without their host; and, instead of pocketing, as they ex• petted, large sums of money on their prognostications of ruin to the country, will have to pay large sums, as a just punishment for their base and iniquitous designs. This is another terrible blow for the gang. They have failed alike both as peculators and politicians. We have no doubt that many of the subscribers to the Charles-street Fund flattered themselves that they should make mere than they gave by gambling in the public securities. A Sunday paper, the Observer, remarks that the failure alluded to “created so much consternation as, for a short time, com pletely to paralyse the transactions. The individual inca pacitated from meeting his engagements is Mr. George Battye (lately of the firm of Trower and Battye,) whose credit, from the respectability of his connections at the West-end of the town, was, for the most part, unbounded. He was, in fact, and has been for some months past, the leading man among the speculators for a fall." The Managers of Drury-lane Theatre are preparing for representation another version of the event ful life of NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE, which is intended to be produced for the first time on Monday next. Its chief incidents, in three parts, will be founded on BUONAPARTE'S acquirements while he was at the Military School at Brienne, the Bridge of Lodi, and the entrance of the Al lied Armies into Paris. Mr. WALLACK will on this night take his benefit, and, we understand, will personate Btio- NAPARTE in th e hi s t or i ca l drama. We heirtily w i s h him a full house, to which his theatrical talents so fairly en title him DRURY-LANE THEATRE. RESIGNATION OF MR. A. LEE. The performers of this house were on Saturday not a little surprised to find that Mr. Dunn, the Trea surer, did not make his appearance at the accustomed hour of three o'clock. Some of the less provident in a profession not remarkable for much forethought in pecuniary matters became exceedingly alarmed, when another half hour passed away without any prospect of their salaries being forthcoming; and their alarm was not abated by perceiving that Mr. Liston, one of the stars, whose claims are the first to be an swered, was now waiting with anxiety among his fellows for the liquidation of his weekly claim on the theatre. Rumours in abundance were immediately propagated to account for this unlooked-for occur rence, and some went so far as to say, that the great diminution of the receipts since the Dissolution of Parliament had left the treasury without funds Those speculations were, however, speedily set a: rest by Mr. George Robins, Mr. Dunn, and Mr. Ellis, the solicitor to the theatre, who entered the Green Room at four o'clock, and assured the .per formers that all demands would be paid as hereto fore. Mr. Robins, in a few words addressed to those assembled, stated, that a very serious dispute had taken place between Captain Polhill and Mr. Alexander Lee, the acting manager. He was happy, however, to say, that the delay which had taken place in the payment of the salaries of the performers had not arisen from want of funds, but was entirely owing to the dispute between the gentlemen whom he had named; and as there appeared to be no chance of an amicaMe arrangement, Mr. Lee had handsomely declared, that rather than be an impedi ment to the payment of the salaries of the perfoimers he would at once secede from the management of ti:e theatre. The only sacrifice the performers would be called upon to make was their gratuitous performance one night at the close of the season for the benefit of Mr. Lee. To this proposal the performers gave a ready and unanimous assent, as a just compliment to the kind and gentlemanlike manner in which the manager has conducted himself during the period of his rule. We understand that the articles of separa- tion between Captain Polhill and Mr. Lee were then prepared and presented to Mr. Lee for his sig nature; but, from a reason with which we are yet unacquainted, that gentleman did not think proper to sign them, and the payment of the salaries was therefore necessarily postponed till Monday merning. The immediate cause of the disagreement which led to these events have not been made public, but we have heard that the jealous rivalries of two fair vo calists had, for some time, created much dissension in the management. The pretensions of Mrs. W. and Miss P., instead of being left to the judgment of the public, were decided by the sympathies of the co-lessees, and the result is probably now before us. OUTRAGES BY TURN-OUT COLLIERS. (From the ?Manchester Guardian of Saturday.) We regret to state that some outrages of a very serious nature have been this week committed by large bodies of turn-out colliers, upon the workmen employed by Mr. Andrew Knowles, at his collieries in Pendlebury, near this town. Some particulars of these outrages will be found in our report of the proceedings at the New Bailey Court house; but as the origin of the dispute between Mr. Knowles and the men is not very fully detailed, we shall give some account of it here, adding a few particulars of the occurrences which grew out of it. It appears that for some time past Mr. Knowles had employed two persons in one of his pits (but not for the purpose of getting coals) who did not belong to the Col liers' Union. This gave offence to the rest of the hands; and, without consulting Mr. Knowles, they took the liberty of turning thu two men away from the colliery, and of setting two others to work in their places. Mr. Knowles, of course, did not choose to have his authority entirely taken out of his hands, and refused to pay any wages to the men who had been set to work without his permission ; on which the whole of his hands, near four hundred in number, left their work in a body on Monday week, and have since refused to return to it, unless Mr. Knowles would consent to employ the individuals thus attempted to be forced upon him. To this condition he refused to accede, and immediately set about pro curing fresh hands, which the turn-outs endeavoured to prevent by threats, and in some cases by per sonal violence to those who offered to go to work in his collieries. Mr. Knowles, however, had succeeded in ob taining about a dozen hands, who were set to work at a colliery in Pendlebury; and as some violence was ex pected, eight men who had been soldiers were armed with fire-arms, and placed in a small building near the engine house, under the command of Cotterill, the deputy-con stable of Pendleton, for the purpose of protecting the ma chinery from destruction, and the men employed from personal violence. Early on Thursday morning, however, Cotterill had to execute warrants against some individuals charged with having threatened one of the new hands; and he had also to appear at the New Bailey ou that day, in order to give evidence against them. Of these circum stances the colliers were probably apprised ; for, about noon, a large body of them assembled around the colliery, and demanded from Mr. Knowles that the new hands should be turned out. This mandate not being complied with, one of them struck him with a large stick, and com pelled him to seek his safety in flight. They then took possession of the engine; a number of them descended into the pit, where the new hands were at work, and partly by threats, partly by promises, that no harm should be done to them, induced the unfortunate men to leave the pits. As soon as they had got to the surface, however, a furious attack was commenced upon them by the ruffians assembled. They were hunted about the fields and roads in every direction, beaten with large bludgeons, and kicked most unmercifully, until the whole number bore terrific marks of the violence with which they had been treated ; and several of them are now in a. state of very consider able danger. Whilst these lawless proceedings were going on, the men who had been employed to defend the premises, having no person to command them, did not venture to act, and rema:ned quiet spectators of the outrage. In formation of what had happened was, however, promptly despatched to Cotter'll, at the New Bailey ; and he ap plied for and obtained the assistance of Mr. Greaves, and a party of the 10th Hussars, who hastened to the scene of action. On their arrival there, they found a number of persons assembled about the colliery, who took to flight on their approach. These were pursued by the hussars over the hedges and fields, and a number of prisoners were taken ; but as it turned out that they had merely been at tracted to the spot by reports of the outrage which had been committed, they were set at liberty, and Cotterill, with three or four hussars, rode on at a quick pace to wards thlton, in which direction the greater part of the rioters had gone. A little beyond the Gravel Hole, they came up with about fifty men, evidently part of the body by whom the outrage had been committed. These, on seeing the hussars, attempted to escape through the hedges; but six of them, (most of whom were armed with large sticks) were secured and brought to Man chester, where they were lodged in the New Bailey. Yes terday morning, Mr. Greaves, the Magistrate, with a party of soldiers, went into the neighbourhood of Darcy Lever, where eleven other persons, known to have joined in the riot, were apprehended, and the whole seventeen were yesterday brought up for examination at the New Bailey, and committed, until it be known that the injured parties are out of danger. A number of warrants were also issued yesterday against other persons who were en gaged in the outrage, which have probably been by this time executed. . _ _ We understand that some apprehensions are entertained of attacks being made on other collieries in the neighbour hood on Monday, in anticipation of which measures have been and will be taken, to repel by force any attempt to commit outrages similar to that which we have described. In consequence of these outrages, the ' master colliers are about forming themselves into an association for mutual protection and support against the unreasonable demands of their men, which have become utterly insupportable, and which they must resist if they mean to carry on their business. They will have only themselves to blame if they do not succeed; for there is no employment more readily learned than that of a collier; and if the turn-outs will not work at wages at which they can readily earn from 255. to 30s. per week there are hundreds of poor weavers and labourers who would be exceedingly glad to exchange their empl o y men t s f or one w hi c h i s so l uc rati ve . We are quite sure they will receive every practicable assist ance from the Magistrates and the military commanders of the neighbourhood. MELOTYPE.--Under this title, M. DUGUET, of Paris, has published an account of a new method of printing all kinds of music with movable characters. , SPIRIT OF TIIE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We this day give the particulars of the disturb- on l l v y e ab b le av to e Z ( t ' ur ‘ d v a e y re . p ai re c s e e s n a t t a At b a r i i g e u f a, no o ti f ce wh o i n ch always had an apprehension that there was a want of discretion in the interferences of the more religious part of the community with the customs of the -laves and their too long-established condition. It xas right, no doubt, to prevent the public profana tion of the Sabbath at Antigua by open markets ; but then another day should have been previously fixed for the sale of the little commodities provided by the slaves. Why not Saturday, which is the most frequent market-day in England ?By the way, the fact that the slaves were the venders here,—that they had articles of their own to sell, — is some proof that they were not in the totally ab• ject condition in which they are so frequently repre- sented. The black population having recourse to the direful measure of avenging their wrongs by setting the sugar-plantations in a flame, is a subject to be greatly lamented and severely punished. We have that terror of the dreadful agency of fire and iti indiscriminate ravages, that we should be very glad, if it were possible, that every one who kindled nightly fires for the destruction of life and property %% ere thrown into the midst of them. However, this whole matter at Antigua is but fluctus in sim; pulo.—Times. We have received letters on the subject of the proposed elective franchise in towns and counties, which may be thought to merit attention. Our opinion continues adverse to the admission of voters who are not in some degree independent of a landlord's vindictiveness or caprice. A tenant at will, no matter how large his occupancy, cannot be an independent voter under any circumstances, in respect of those premises, or that farm, from which his landlord has the power of suddenly expelling him. It is no answer for our correspondent, " A Disfranchised , Elector," to refer us to the forty shilling freeholders, and ask, are they " inde pendent ?" We are not bound to defend any given class of electors, because we find reasonable ground of objection against a different It may be quite true that forty-shilling freeholders are, gene rally speaking, by no means qualified to give inde pendent votes, but they are already in possession of the franchise, and it might be very difficult to pre vail upon Parliament, at this moment, to deprive them of it, or on the country to sanction such a deprivation. Again, as we are told by another correspondent, who signs himself "An Essex Landlord," a 10/. householder, liable to be ejected in six months, is no more a free agent than the tenant at will of a farm of 100 acres. True enough : and if the Legislature were to adopt the advice of our correspondent, specifying seven years as that unexpired term, which every man must have to qualify him for the exercise of his franchise, we do not see that much evil could arise from it; but on the other hand, that, combined with a modifica- tion of the stamp duties, facilitating both the execu tion of long leases, and the addition of supplemental ones, before the expiry of the old, the leasehold and derivative interests throughout the country mightibe considerably strengthened. Let it be well under stood, that the actual existence of qualifications to which a sound objection might be made, cannot by any means be urged upon a Statesman, as involvi„g him in the necess►ty of either abolishing them, or (f greatly adding to their number.—Tinies. We have received an animated letter from Pem brokeshire, which gives some insight into the pro ceedings of Sir John Owen's friends, in a county where the Hon. Baronet, by virtue of his office of Lord Lieutenant, has had the distribution of the loaves and fishes for more than twenty years. If the honest Welshmen will hasten to the poll, there are yet hopes that Mr. Greville may cut down below the water's edge the majority of his mock Reform antagonist. In Northamptonshire, the last strong hold of Toryism,the good cause has triumphed. On Saturday Mr. Cartwright saw the folly of con tinuing any longer a struggle which could not pos sibly end in his favour, and yielded to the superior popularity of Lord Milton and Reform. With re gard to England, nothing is now left to be feared, hoped, or desired; arid when we shall have received a few more returns from Scotland arid Ireland, we shall be able to measure the overwhelming extent of a success which has long ceased to be doubtful. —Times. So,—it is as we suspected. The wretched farce of the Pitt Club system is on the point of being once more got up, and with new dresses and deco, rations, but with this countervailing disadvantage, that the few smart actors who used to struggle against the public taste, in the hope of saving the said piece of dull indecency from " damnation," are now ashamed any longer to appear in it, and have left the leading parts to be filled by the scene-shifters and lamp-lighters of the company. An advertise ment informs us that the Pitt Club will meet to day • and rumour states, that the Tories are to render this burlesque institution a " point of union" for all who think fit to describe themselves as the anti-revolutionary party; meaning thereby the ob stinate opponents of the King's Ministers, of the King himself, and of the whole united people 'of Great Britain and Ireland, who have with one accord just manifested their unanimous de ' termination to possess a Reformed Parliament.— Tell a foreigner that such things exist in this country as "Pitt Clubs," and ask him what he sup poses to be their meaning. He will search his me mory for grounds on which to reply, and will most likely answer—" Why, Mr. Pitt was a long time Minister of England, and left a name behind him ; but let me see—he carried on war against France for a dozen or more of years, engaging every great Power on the continent, by turns or simultaneously, as allies of Great Britain, and paying them vast sums by way of subsidy. The consequence, how ever, as we all know, is, that every one of his grand coalitions was unsuccessful, and that he plunged this country over head and ears in debt. It cannot, therefore, as I conceive, be in honour of the terrible defeats which he incurred, or of the load of taxes with which he overwhelmed your nation,—it was not for exploits such as these, that Mr. Pitt's name is assumed for a bond or motto, by any association of Englishmen." " Let us try again," continued the foreigner. " Mr. Pitt's domestic policy must have been, in the eyes of his countrymen, of at least equal importance with his foreign ; and, look ing to his chief object as a domestic States man, I find that he was, from an early period, a sworn enemy to the horrible African slave trade, and an eloquent advocate of a more humanized treatment of the West Indian negroes. It is therefore natural that the friends of negro liberty should institute a Pitt Club,' in commemoration of the services rendered by that great orator to the cause of Africa, and of the human race." The foreigner goes gh to say—" The debates in your Parliament afford ample evidence that Mr. Pitt was a strenuous and inflexible supporter of Catholic emancipation during hie political life,—that one o f his most urgent motives for pressing the union be tween Great Britain and Ireland was, his anxiety to liberate the Catholics; and that his subsequent inn bility to effect that noble measure was the sole cause of his resigning the Government when at the summit of his power. lam therefore at no loss to under stand why a Pitt Club should have been established, and gratefully attended, even to this day, by the friends of religious liberty throughout the empire, as a just tribute to the exertions of Mr. Pitt on behalf of his Catholic fellow-subjects." " But," proceeds this consistent student of our modern history, " the chief claim of Mr. Pitt on the gra titude of Englishmen is doubtless his early and splen did series of endeavours to accomplish a so!id remedy of political abuses, by striking at the root of them all, and reformi ng t h e re p r esentation in f t h e hig Commons' Hous e of Parliament; one of speeches resfi;ire,t piroe eg o : aen curious :avhdhieecdhp political s 5 utaib;j:4eicimmtceek3nlnicvroihinisaritof Mr.' Pitt eiarg;
