SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. We yesterday communicated a brief hut in teresting statement of the melancholy shipwreck which took place in the neighbourhood of Bou logne on Saturday evening, and we to-day in sert further particulars. As the whole of the distressing scene occurred in the immediate neighbourhood of that town, —as the perilous situation of the vessel for two or three hours be fore its actual wreck was the object of sympathy and attention to thousands on the shore,—as direct communications had taken place between the captain and the humane sailors of the port, relative to the saving of the lives of the crew and the passengers, when the loss of the ship was considered inevitable,—as three of the people on board have been saved, who can re port what occurred up to the last moment,—and as the actual catastrophe was witnessed at a very short distance, both by French and English spectators, there never, perhaps, was a case in which all the circumstances which can affect our feelings or satisfy our curiosity in such a cala mity, can be more fully developed, explained, or exposed. It is now quite evident, that out of the 136 persons on board, only three have been saved, and it is equally evident that nobody would have perished but from the mistaken sense of duty on the part of the captain, and the ac cidental absence of the British Consul. Had the passengers consisted of any other class of per sons than convicts, they could have insisted on being landed : had they not been in trusted to the captain as a species of gaoler, the latter could have had no motive for risking either his own life or theirs by retaining them on board amid the storm. This unfortu nate man, who himself has perished in the gene ral wreck, seemed to be placed in the situation of the governor of a prison, who sees a fire raging in his neighbourhood and hesitates to unlock the doors of the cells till the progress of the con flagration has rendered the general escape of the prisoners inevitable. He has sacrificed his own life, and that of more than a hundred of his fellow -creatures, to his timidity of character, and his mistaken sense of duty. The surgeon seemed to share his alarms, and has been involved in his fate. It would be unfeeling to cast a censure on the grave of men who have them selves suffered along with the mass of individuals whose lives have been the sacrifice of their hesi tation. We can only congratulate their friends on their good fortune in havinc , perished, be cause, had they alone escaped, after having con signed their convict passengers to a watery grave, by refusing to land them, the laws or pub lic indignation of the country would have exacted from them an account more terrible than death itself : but, passing by these reflections, we beg to make two or three simple remarks on the melancholy event. In the first place, it should be known to all persons in the situation of the captain of this transport, that though they are bound to keep their cargo of convicts in safe custody till they arrive at the place of banishment, they have no right to expose their lives to any danger which can be avoided. In the present fatal instance no danger could have occurred in landing them, as they could not have run into the interior, or remained in France without a passport, and might therefore easily have been again collected for transportation. In the second place, the Consul should have been at his post, anti been able to have directed the disembarkation of the convicts on his official responsibility. And in the third place, a most rigid examination ought to be instituted into the state of the ship, and into that of every other taken up by Government to transport convicts. The voyage is long and dreary,—the seas .through which they have to pass are tempes tuous,—and there is too much reason to appre hend that without the exercise of proper vigi lance the refuse of our ships may be thought good enough for transporting to another quarter of the world the refuse of our nation. It will be seen, however, that, in a letter we publish to-day, the Amphitrite is declared to have been a perfectly sound vessel.— Times. All those who are acquainted with the la borious and important duties which devolve on the Speaker of the House of Commons, and can properly appreciate the unwearied industry, the unimpeachable impartiality, and experienced judgment, with which Mr. Manners Sutton dis charges them, must feel gratified to hear that his Majesty, concurring with the feelings of his sub jects, has honoured him with the Grand Cross of die Order of the Bath. Never was such a distinction awarded to a more deserving func tionary, or conferred at a more appropriate time. Mr. Manners Sutton had retired from the la bours of the chair after a long and creditable performanc e of them durinr , several Parliaments —he had retired without the usual promise of a peerage, and bad been secured in a pension little short of his present emoluments. The reformed Parliament, with nearly one half of its Members new to the forms of Parliamentary debate, and eager to display their latent qualifications to their Lewly created constituents, offered the prospect of a busy session and not a very orderly assembly. Yet the Right Hon. Gentleman, in the midst of such inducements to keep aloof from a field in which he might encounter new difficulties, but could scarcely hope to attain new honours, did not shrink from coming for ?yard, at the request of the Government, to pre side over the deliberations of the reformed Rouse. In this renewed legislative campaign lie has again distinguished himself for every quality required in a Speaker, and has by his urbanity, dignity, and experience in guiding the order of debates, performed a n e ss ent i a l serv i ce to the R ouse and the country.— Times. The Provin mai Press, especially of the smaller boroughs groaninc, under th e " i n fl uence " o f electioneering Peers'' and 4 , borough patrons," teems with commentary on th e l ock " explana tion" of the EarlWarwick.r g Times makes the following The Leeds s p aiy and home commentary on his Lordship ' s defence.

In a Morning Paper of yesterday there is an attack upon the Duke of Wellington on ac count of his protest against the West India Slavery Bill, which we do not hesitate to pro nounce more discreditable to the character of the daily press of this country than anything which has appeared within our recollection. It is a mere overflowing of ignorance and self-con ceit. The writer, who is evidently without an idea that is unassociated with the sound of Bow bells, thinks himself qualified to pronounce an authoritative decision condemnatory of the Peers' privilege of protest, because, forsooth, the Peers of England do not express themselves like the cockney leader-w-iter of the Times ; and to ridicule the apprehensions of those who fear that emancipated negroes in Jamaica, who can squat, will not work for hire, simply be cause it is within his own knowledge that there is no squatting ground between Printing Houte. square and Whitechapel Church, and when, in a fit or laziness, he has been temp'ed to think of vagabondizing within three miles of St. Paul's, the laws respecting vagrancy, of which he seems to have acquired some knowledge, have sufficed to keep him steady at his mercenary task. This writer begins by assuming that all who, like the Duke of Wellington, think the abolition of slavery, to be safe to the planter or beneficial to the slave, ought to have been pre ceded by more advanced moral and religious in. struction, and by more fixed and certain habits of industry on the part of the latter, than at present exist, are the advocates of interminable slavery ; and he assumes throughout his pert and ii , norant lucubration that from the condition of slavery as it exists in the West Indies any change must be for the better. Men who pos sess the average information upon the subject, however, which this writer evidently does not, or who are endowed with those ordinary powers of reasoning which have evidently been with held from him, know that both these assump tions are false. Slavery has existed in other parts of the world as well as in the West Indies, and a state of society has arisen in which the interests of the owners and the happiness and wel fare of the slave have equally dictated the extinc tion of slavery. In such cases the extinction of slavery has been easy, natural and safe. It has required no force, no legislation. It is thus only that slavery has hitherto been abolished wherever the institution has had existence. Of the salutary effect of this kind of abolition the world has had ample experience. But of the extinction of slavery in defiance of the wishes and interests of the owners of slaves, the world has had no ex perience whatever, or none at least which affords encouragement to the attempt. The experiment, then, about to be tried in the West Indies, is altogether new, and it is dangerous because it is new. In all former instances of the extinction of slavery, the circumstance which determined the fitness of the slave for freedom was the same which decided that it was the interest of the owner to emancipate him, viz.—the disposition ; and aptitude of the slave to work for hire. Is , there any eviden ce t o p rove , or d o tne circum stances of our West India colonies afford a pro bability, that this disposition or aptitude to free labour will be found among the present genera tion of negroes in the West Indies? The reverse is notoriously the fact. What, then, are the probable consequences of the forced measure of emancipation ? Clearly no other than these—that the emancipated negroes will suc cessively, but rapidly, betake themselves to the uncultivated parts of the various colonies where, %%HI comparatively little labour, they can rear from a teeming soil the means of indo lent existence—that they will gradually but ra pidly relapse into the savage state—that the existence of whites in their vicinity will become so unprofitable and so unsafe as to insure, after a succession of brutal and sanguinary conflicts, the total abandonment of the colonies, and the ruin of the immense British interests connected with them, without affording any increase to the happiness or any improvement of the condi tion of the negro population, whom, on the contrary, this change will consign to the deepest misery and degradation. Interminable slavery is not the desire of those who deprecate premature emancipation. And, if it were, it would be easy to show that interminable slavery isa much smaller evil than the least of those which premature emancipation is calculated to produce. But the cockney writer in the Times, who cannot einanci pate himself from his habitual ideas of the wor thy magistrates of Worship -street, and the narrow lanes in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel, and the small gardens at Mile End and Hackney, triumphantly asks, " What has the magnitude of the country, 'speaking of Jamaica, " to do with the matter ?" gravely pronounces that " th e country may indeed be extensive, but severe laws may be enacted and enforced to compel residence and to punish vagrancy," and declared it as his enlightened opinion that "the free negro reFusing to work, and wandering without the visible means of subsistence, may be punished as a rogue and vagabond, as in our own f r e e island at home." It would be idle to attempt to reason with a person at once so uninformed and so presumptuous ; but we will give him a word of advice, which will not be the. worse advice although he may be too conceited to regard it. Let him by all means leave off cri ticising the protests of the Duke of Wellington, and seek information respecting the West Indies from any of the poor black - men who sweep some of the crossings in his own neighbourhood, the most ignorant of whom is qualified to teach him much that he ought to know, before he again ventures to write upon any subject con nected with the West Indies.—Morning Post.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MISS HARRIET MARTINEAU. (From Fox's Repository.) "My family is of French origin, as my name must already have suggested to you. All that is known of it is that my great grandfather, who was a sur geon, quitted France on account of his religion, at the time of the revocation of the edict of Nantes, and settled at Norwich, in the county of Norfolk, where he married a French lady who had emigrated at the same period, and for the same reasons. Ever since .my family has maintained an honourable sta tion in society, the eldest suns always practising surgery, the others devoting themselves to commerce or manufactures. My father, the youngest of five brother, was the proprietor, at Norwich, his native place, of one of the manufactories peculiar to that town. He had eight children, of whom lam the sixth. " I was born in the month of June, 1802. The following are the principal circumstaacea which have combined to give me a taste for literary pursuits; my health, now perfectly good, was extremely deli. cate in my childhood; I have been, ever since that period, afticted with an infirmity (deafness) which, without absolutely depriving me of all intercourse with the world, has forced me to seek occupations and pleasures within myself; lastly, that which has contrihuted to it more than all the rest, is the affect tion subsisting between me and that one of my bro thers whose age is nearest to my own, and who adopted one of the learned professions. " [he first work that I published was a little volume, entitled Devotional Exercises,' for the use of young persona. It appeared in 1822, and its success encouraged me to let it be followed soon by another of the same description, entitled ' Ad dresses, with Praers and Hymns, for the use of families and schools.' About this time a circum stance occurred which was the origin of that series of tales you are now engaged in translating. A country bookseller agl:tri me to compose for him some little work of fiction ; thought that I might join the useful to the agreeable, as I had the choice of the subject, if I could show the folly of the po pulace of Manchester, who hail just been destroying the machinery, to the great detriment of the manu factures, on which their bread depended. I pro duced a little story, entitled The Rioters,' and the following year another on wages, called The Turn Ont. I was far from suspecting, while I wrote them, that wages and machinery had any thing to do with political economy; I do not even know whether I had ever heard the name of that science. It was not till some time af terwards that reading Mrs. Marcet's Conver sations on Political Economy,' I perceived that I had written political economy, as M. Jourdain spoke prose, without knowing it. Its. Marcet's excellent work suggested to me the idea that if some principles of the science had been successfully laid down in a narrative form, all might be so equally well. From that moment I was continually talking with my mother and the brother whom I have mentioned to you, of the plan which I am at present executing. Nevertheless, I had no friend in the literary world, which is indispensable to wards gaining the confidence of the booksellers. No one who could be of any use to me would pay any attention to my plan. Ri-ally I cannot com plain much of this ; it must, I own, have appeared whimsical enough, arid, all things considered, of very doubtful success. I am far from regretting this delay, which has enabled me to exerci-e my self in different kinds of composition, and has left me time to acquire same knowledge of the world, a thing so necessary to the truth of descriptions so varied as mine must be. " During the three years which preceded the publication of my tales, I was constantly writing on different subjects; I was, besides, employed in re viewing works on metaphysics and theology in the Afontbly Repository, a periodical, the Editor of which the Rev. W. J. Fox, is, after my brother James, the steadiest friend and the best guide that I have ever had in literature and in philosophy. I published besides, in 1830, the Traditions of Pa lestine.' Iu the course of the following year, the Association of Unitarian Dissenters, to whom I be long, printed three essays of mine, which had ob• tabled prizes, and which were addressed to the Ca tholics, the Jews, and the Nlallometans. Meantime, I had quite made up my mind to risk the publica tion of my Illustrations of Political Economy.' The plan had been reiected by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, though only two or three of the members had paid any attention to it. No bookseller of any reputation would hear of my work, and when the recommendation of the literary man I have mentioned had determined me to attempt the enterprise, it was begun, a thousand voices uniting to announce that it would not sue ceed.---sAt the end of one month success was certain " I was sure that it would be so; not that exaggerated my talents. I am as far as ever from thinking that this work has succeeded because it has been written by me; but I do think that the want of such a work was felt so mnch by the public, that it was sure to be caught up with eagerness. This conviction gave me the courage to undertake ir, and its being so well timed is si,fficient by itself to explain the great number of copies which have been sold. " My intention at first was only to publish twenty four tales ; but as the taxes are a subject towards wh ch the public mind is particularly directed at present, and as there is the greatest necessity that the people should be enlightened with regard to them, I have resolved to enlarge my plan, and to go as far as thirty tales. " As it has been erroneously supposed that my work was finished before I began the publication of it, I am glad to have an opportunity of telling you, that I only write each tale in the month before it is printed, that I may have the advantage of the newest discoveries upon the subject of which I treat. No one but myself sees them before they are given to the printer, and no one has ever helped me in their compilation. My brother, the only individual whose assistance I could accept, lives at Liverpool. I can not, therefore, consult him. List autumn I quitted Norwich for London, where I intend to remain. " Be.ides my Tales, which appear monthly, I have just undertaken a little series of four numbers on our sy=stem of poor law., which will be circulated by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. The first, entitled The Pari4l,' came out a fort night ago; the second will be published in the course of the summer. " There is not at present any portrait of me pub li:he I, but Finden is engr►ving one on steel, which will, I believe, soon be out.* " I think I have answered all your questions; nothin g remains but to assure you of the interest with which I shall see your translation: I shall be happy to own myself indebted to you, if, through your means, I can ren d er t o t h e F renc h peop l e t h e service that my countrymen have allowed me to render to them. • It has just appeared, and is from the admirable like ness by bliss Margaret Gillies, of whom, as an artist yet little known, we cannot reftain from saving ilia her rapid improvement in colourings and her rate combination of classical taste with boldness of design, promise to win for her the honours of her art.—Ed. M. R. At Agram, in Croatia, the clergy recently went in procession from the church to consecrate the first stone of a theatre about to he built in that town. DESTRUCTION OF FIUMAN LIFE BY CllO - disease called spasmodic cholera appears to have been unknown previous to 1817, when it appeared in India. Since that tithe, till near the end of 1832—a period of about fifteen years—there have been, through. out the world, as near as c an be estimated, one hundred millions of cases. Of these, fully one-half, at the very least, must have died; which gives a mortality, from this single disease, of fill , millions in t h e a b ove period, or up wards of three millions three hundred and thirty-three thousand annually. In India, alone, the mortality has exce e d e d eighteen millions. These calculations have been made by Jonnes, the celebrated French physician ; and it is estimated that they are rather under than above the truth. THE HIGHLANDERS AND THE BOAR " The following tale has lately acquired interest, from being skilfully employed' to point a moral' on a great public question. It is an admirable story besides. This edition, which appeared twenty years ago, was attributed at the time to Sir Walter Scott, who gave it to the Spy. It is more • likely to have been written by the editor of that ingenious miscellany, Mr. James Hogg. " On the banks of the Albany river, which falls into Hudson's Bay, there is, amongst others, a small colony settled, which is mostly made up of emigrants from the Highlands of Scotland. Though •he soil of the valleys contiguous to the river is exceedingly rich and fertile, yet the winter being so long and severe, these people do not labour too incessantly in agriculture, but depend, for the most part, upon their skiill in hunting and fishing, for their subsistence, there being commonly abundance of both game and fish. " Two young kinsmen, both illacdonalds, went out one day into these boundless woods to hunt, each of them armed with a well-charged gun in his huid, and a skene-dhu, or Highland dirk, by his side. They shaped their course towards a small stream, which descends from the mountains to the N.W. of the river; on the banks of which they knew there were still a few wild swine remaining; and of all other creatures, they wished most to meet with one of them, little doubting but that they would overcome even a pair of them, if chance would di rect them to their lurking places, though they were reported to be so remarkable both for their strength and ferocity. They were not at all successful, having neglected the common game in searching for these animals; and a little before sunset they re turned homeward, without having shot anything save one wild turkey. But when they least ex pected it, to their infinite joy, they discovered a deep ?it, or cavern, which contained a large litter of fine half-grown pigs, and none of the old ones with them. This was a prize indeed : so, without losing a moment, Donald said to the other," Mark, you pe te li•tles , man, creep you in and durk te little sows, and I'll pe keeping vatch at te toor." Mack complied without hesitation—gave ins gun to Donald —unsheathed his skene dhu, and crept into the cave head foremost; but of er he was all out o sight save the brogues, he stopped short, and called back—' But, Lord, Tonald, pe shoor to keep ou te ould %NAAS. ' Ton't you be fearing tat, man,' said Donald. " The cave was deep, but there was abundance of room in the farther end, where Mack, with his sharp skette-dhu, now commenced the work of death. He was scarcely well begun, when Rica perceived a monstrous wild boar advancing upon him, roaring and grinding his tusks, while the fire of rage gleamed from his eyes. Donald sa d not a word for fear of alarming his friend, beside, the savage was so hard upon him ere ever he was aware, he scarcely had time for anything; so setting self firm, and cocking his gun, he took his aim ; but, that the shot might prove more certain death, he suffered the boar to come wi hiti a few paces of him, before he ventured to fire ; he at last drew the fatal trigger, expecting to blow out his eyes, brains, and all. Merciful Heaven !—the gun missed fie, or flashed in the pan—l am not sure which. There was no time to lose—Donald dashed the piece in the animal's face, turned his back, and fled with preci pitation. The boar pursued him only for a short space, for having heard the cries of his suffering young ones, as he passed the mouth of the den, he hastened back to their rescue. Most men would have given all up for lost—it was not so with Donald—Mack's life was at stake. As soon as he observed the monster return from pursuing him, Donald faced about and pursued him in his turn; but, .having before this, from the horror of being all torn to pieces, run rather too far without looking back, the boar had by that over sight got considerably a-head of him. Donald strained every nerve, uttered some piercing cries, and even for all his haste did not forget to implore assistance from Heaven. His prayer was short but pithy-4 0 Lord I puir Mack ! puir Mack!' said Donald, in a loud voice, while the tears gushed from his eyes. In spite of all his efforts, the enraged animal reached the mouth of the den before him, and entered ! It was, however, too narrow for him to walk in on all-fours; he was obliged to drag himself in as Mack had done before, and, of course, his hind legs lost their hold of the ground. At this important crisis Donald overtook him, laid hold of his large long tail, wrapped it around both his hands set his feet to the bank, and held back in the utmost desperation. " Mack, who was all unconscious of what was going on above ground, wondered what way be came to be involved in utter darkness in a moment. lie waited a little while, thinking that Donald was only playing a trick upon him, but the most profound obscurity still continuing, he at length bawled our, ' Tonald, man, Tonald—phat is that'll aye pe stopping te light ?' Donald was too much engaged and too breathless to think of making any reply to Mack's impertinent question, till the latter having waited in vain a considerable time for an answer, re peated it in a louder cry. Donal►l's famous laconic answer, which, perhaps, never was, nor ever will be equalled, has often been heard of—' Tonald, man, Tonald—phat is it that'll aye pe stopping te light ?' bel owed Mack. Should te tail braik you'll fin' tat,' said Dunald, coolly. " Donald continued the struggle, and soon began to entertain hopes of ultimate success. When the boar pulled to get in, Donald held back,and when he struggle,! to get b4ck again, Donald set his shoulder to his large buttock: and pushed him in, and in this position he kept him until he got an opportunity of giving him some deadly stab: with his skene-dhu, behind the short ribs, which soon terminated his existence. " Our two young friends by this adventure rea ized a valuable prize, arid secured so much excel- lent food that it took them several days to get it conveyed home. During the long winter nights, while the family were regaling themselves on the name of the great wild boar, often was the above ►ale related, and as often applauded, and laughed at." BURNING SPRINGS.—Ten miles south of Fort Plain on the Erie Canal, 42 miles west of Shenec tady, there is a spring of water which has all the appear ,nce of a stream of living fire, even by day-light. The flumes are caused by the evolution from the water of large quantities of sulphurated hydrogen gas, which instantly ignites on coming into cont ict with the open air. There is a similar spring on the Canada side of the Niagara. STRUCTURE OF COAL.—At one of the late monthly meetings of the Newcastle Natural History So ciety, Mr. Hutton read an excellent paper entitled " Ob. serva'ions on Coll and the Evolutions of Gil in Coal Mines," in which he showed that all the varieties of coal, when reduced to thin slices, and examined by the aid of the microscope, exhibit the remains of the fine tissue of the vegetables of which they are composed. In the cannel parrot and splint coals, which are all destitive of crystalline "tructure, the vegetable texture exists throughout the whole mass ; it also occurs. but in I as quantity, in fine cutting coal. The third variety of bituminous coal (the slate coal of Jameson), of which the bulk of many coal fields consists, being formed of the two kinds already named, in thin al ernate layers, of course exhibits the characters of both. It was lurther shown that all bitu ,„inous coals have interspersed in their mass elongated tubes, which appear to have once been circular cavities, and to have been altered in form by perp ndicular pressure. These Are now filled with a beautiful transparent wine yellow coloured r:sen, which is easily volatiAzA by heat. Be sides what are already mentioned, coal contains a system of open cavities of a circular farm, having exh a small oellet of carbon in the centre. These cavities occur in groups, and have communication with each other ; and in them it is conceived the mechanically-entangled gas which is involved in our coal mines in such astonishing tOree and quantity, and often with such fatal results, had been imprisoned, in a highly condensed, perhaps even in a liquid state, and from which it is released by the work ing of the mine. From an examination of the nature of coal, and the circumstances under which it occurs, it was inferred, not only that all coals were of vegetable origin, but that the nifferences in their nature arise born an original difference in the nature of the plants of which they are composed.

St:amt.—The demand for West India Aluscovades last week continued on the most limited scale ; the whole purchases of the week were estimated at 1,800 Mids. and tee. ; towards the close of the market last Friday there was evidently a great disposition to do business. The market has been very heavy all day; the sales are quite inconsiderable, yet no genera reduction in the prices cm be stated. The stock of West India Sugar is now 41,505 hhda. and trs., being 2,732 more than last year; the rock of Mauritius 98,517 hags, b-ing 48,221 more than last year. The delivery of West India is 2.306 hhits. and tr.., being 1,795 less than last year ; the delivery of Mau ritius is 3.521 bags, being 1,340 less than the corre sponding week of 1832. The Refined Market last week remained in the same languid state which we have lately reported, the holders asking 24. higher than the exporters will give. The transactions are very limited ; the stock of goAls is still very low ; the demand for home con.ninp tion is also very limited. The Refined Market this after noon remains in the same nominal and inactive state; the purchases are very limited.

In the course of the week there was a trifling improvement in the price of most de scriptions of Irish Butter, but since the rain has fallen, the Market has again receded, and our quotations of this day se'nnight are barely supported.
