Bentinck's Pun (allowed 3lbs) Sir J. B. Mills's br f by Leviathan, out of Virgiana Mr. DOWLEY—There was only one question that re quired answering, and he really could not give any ex planation about it. Mr. Donall being engaged in the accounts, probably could give a better explanation than he could. Mr. Dotram, had heard the charge which had been made of fraud and manoeuvre, and he wanted expres sions to convey the astonishment he felt at the extent fo the charge. For himself, he spurned all idea of being connected with fraud i❑ any shape. But he regretted that his memory would not serve to give satisfaction to all parties. Had time been given, he might have been more enabled to have furnished all the information re quired by the Honourable Commissioner. The last contract had been entered into in 1841, a period of three years ago, and to that period he was called to speak from recollection. The preceding contract was in 1836, and of that one he himself knew nothing. The items adduced by Mr. Leslie were but a small propor tion indeed of the amount of labour that would be re quired in furnishing a complete and satisfactory return of the whole question. He believed the numbers in the form had been copied from those in the previous contracts, and he was the more confirmed in this opinion by the exact similitude of the figures. He would at once ac knowledge that there seemed a mistake in the number of the bricks required—(" Oh, oh," from some Hon. Commissioner)—but as to fraud there could be enter tained for one moment not the least idea of it. The same forms were sent to all the competitors, and no communi cation whatever had passed between the officers of the Court and the contractors. He would be happy to answer any question put by the Court, or to give any other in formation which might be required of him. After several questions of lesser importance had been asked by various Commissioners, Mr. LESLIE said that having waited till all the Hon. Members had done, he would, in turn, ask a few questions of Mr. Douall ; and first he would ask if the contract had not been given to the competitor who was supposed to furnish the lowest tender?—Yes. Mr. LESLIE—Then as to the quantity of bricks. How many were inserted in the form, and how many fur nished in the three years by the contractor ?-350,000 were inserted, but I cannot say how many furnished. Mr. LESLIE - 11e says it for you-73,000. Now, as to York paving 21- inch thick, how was that tendered for? Mr. Bennett's was 7d., Mr. Bird's 644. Which got it ? COURT OF SEWERS. A Court of Sewers, for the city and liberty of West miester, and part of Middlesex, was held in the Sewers'- office, Greek-street, Soho-square, yesterday, at twelve o'clock, Captain Bague, R.N., in the chair. The collector's and clerks' reports having been re ceived, The CHAIRMAN then said that the next business be fore the Court was to consider various payments, the largest amount being a sum of 1,000/., due to Messrs. J. and W. Bennett, the contractors, on account of bills to Midsummer, 1844. The remaining payments amounted to 301/. Bs. 4d. Mr. LESLIE cautioned Hon. Members against signing the Messrs. Bennett's cheque, without some previous in quiry into the mode by which they had got their contract. Mr. ILARRYAT thought that the lion. Commissioner ought to give the Court some reason for his caution. Mr. LESLIE said he had discovered that a gross fraud had been committed upon the public, by means of which the Bennetts held a contract they had no right to do. He (Mr. Leslie) was in a position to prove all ho alleged, and he would not hesitate to do so. After some desultory discussion, it was decided that the cheque be cancelled. Mr. Bennett having been called in Court, The CHAIRMAN said he was directed by the Court to withhold the cheque fur 1,0001., as a Commissioner had made a charge against Mr. Bennett. Mr. LESLIE did not charge Mr. Bennett with fraud. He said a fraud upon the public had been committed by some one. Mr. MARRYAT said that the impression on his mind was, that the Hon. Commissioner's remarks had been levelled at Mr. Bennett. The CHAIRMAN—At all events the cheque was with held in consequence of those remarks. It had been stated that a gross fraud had been committed. After a few remarks from Mr. ALLASON, Mr. LESLIE said that the short of the matter was that Mr. Bennett had attained a contract which he was not entitled to. He did not say that Mr. Bennett was in fault, but he did say that a gross fraud had been com mitted on the public, and when he had discovered that, he questioned the propriety of their again signing cheques for one, three, or four thousand pounds, until they had further inquired about it. He did not say that Mr. Bennett then present, or that his late father did wrong. The charge he made against somebody was, that the public had been injured to an enormous amount —how much he could not say, and was afraid to hazard —by a gross fraud perpetrated somewhere, by which Bennett's tender had been made to appear smallest, when it was unquestionably not so. The CHAIRMAN said that Mr. Bennett would probably wish;t• address the Court upon the subject. Mr. BENNETT would wish to ask the protection of the Court, because an imputation had been cast upon him by an Hon. Commissioner, inasmuch as it was said that ho was connected with a fraud. Mr. LESLIE did not say so. He said a gross fraud had been committed somewhere. Mr. ALLASON thought that if the question of the subject under discussion were put in the usual way, it would greatly expedite matters. He thought that Mr. Leslie's statement ought to be substantiated. The question was then put by the Chairman, and it was unanimously agreed that the subject should be brought before the Court. Mr. LESLIE said that the three persons whom he would refer to in the remarks he should make, were Mr. Donaldson, Mr. Dowley, and Mr. Doull. He re gretted that the first was not in Court, but he would be corrected by the surveyors if he stated what was incor rect in reference to this transaction. Before they entered upon the last contract, a form of tender was sent out to all the competitors, and it was arranged out of Court that certain quantities of bricks, and other materials should be stated on these forms. Mr. Bennett, who sup plied this Court with bricks at that time at the rate of 425. the thousand, inserted in his tender at 305., being a reduction of Its. upon the thousand, and why ? There were 350,000 bricks inserted upon the form, which the other competing parties put, at 385., 395., and 40s. a thousand. But were these 350,000 bricks supplied ? No. The amount of bricks for the last three years, both for the eastern and western division amounted only to 73,000. He (Mr. Leslie) had always been convinced there was something wrong in the man ner of getting up these contracts, but when he had brought evidence before that Court, it had not been al lowed to be put upon the minutes. He was now going to adopt a different course. From past experience he did not like this tribunal, and he meant to tender his evi dence to the Commission on the Health of Towns, then sitting at Whitehall, of which the Duke of Buccleuch was chairman. But if they wanted him to go into the case now, be would not shrink from doing so. Mr. ALLASON thought it would be, perhaps, advis able to suspend altogether the inquiry, until the other parties were present. Mr. LESLIE said it was Mr. Allason who, in the first instance, wanted him to go on. Mr. ALLasos—Because the Hon. Commissioner ought to be prepared with his charge, or at once give it up. Mr. LESLIE did not shrink from the charge ; so far from it, he should go to another tribunal where it would be gone into. Ho had to complain of observations made by Hon. Members round the table. One Commissioner had affirmed—it was perhaps in undue time—that no charge ho (Mr. Leslie) had ever made in that Court had been substantiated. He denied that assertion in tote. Mr. BAYLIS would ask Mr. Bennett if any complaint had been made at any time by a Commissioner with re gard to his contract ? Mr. BENNETT—There night have been a few bad bricks delivered upon the ground, and removed in con sequence—but beyond that nothing. Mr. LESLIE resumed. He would call on Mr. Hertslett to produce the minutes of July, 1844. (The clerk read the minutes of the Court, determining upon advertising for contractors ; with the advertisement in serted in the newspapers in 'consequence.) The first point of proof was, that the contract was given to the alleged lowest competitor, and on that ground only was he accepted. They would observe that Mr. Bennett's tender was 1,6641. I Is. 11d., while that of Mr. Bird's was 1,7321. 1 Is. 9id.; but let them examine closely the items forming that tender. Let them look at the digging. The tesider of Mr. Bennett's was 25., Mr. Bird's was Is. 9d.; and so on with the other items of the contract. But he would ask Mr. Doull a question. Were not the figures, for instance the 350,000 bricks supposed to be required were not these figures arranged between Mr. Dowley, the chairman, and him self, at a conference out of Court? He waited an answer. Mr. DouLL—They were done by the officers of the Court certainly. Mr. LESLIE—WeII, an indirect answer was better than no answer. Let him direct their attention to the eastern district, where the amount of stock-bricks was put down at 150,000. Bennett's tender was at 30s. per 1,000 ; he was supplying them at the same time at 425. —(Hear, hear.) Bird's was 395., and, therefore, his amount for them was 2921. 10s., while his competitor's was only 2251. For the western division there were 200,000 bricks put down, and here again the difference between 30s. and 395. told well in Bennett's favour. But let them not forget the simple fact that the contractor was not called on to supply those bricks. On that item alone Bennett obtained the advantage, although on almost allele other items Bird's tender was the lowest. He would tell them that the whole account of bricks supplied byßennett since the Ist of October, 1841, did not amount to 73,000. But let him reflect himself a little, and take the items se ' parately. For digging in the eastern division Bennett con tracted for 950 yards at 2s. —951. Bird's was only 831., yet he lost the contract. In the western division there were 6,500 cubic yards of digging, which, at Bennett's rate, would be 6501. ; but at Bird's, 5681. 15s. ; yet Bird lost the contract. Now the result of all this was, that an enormous loss had been sustained by the public, and was he not justified then in characterising the thing as a gross fraud, and exposing it as he tried to do? Why the tender born a suspicious look on the face of it—to contract for bricks at 30s. when supplying them at the same time for 42s_,_• but that gave him his contract. Mr. M ARR TAT—Don't be so sensitive. Mr. LESLIE—I think that every man who has taken his oath as a Commissioner in this Court, ought to feel sensitively, when public property is voted away so care lessly, so negligently, as it has been done in this case. The other items showed that Bennett received more than Bird had tendered for, in varying amounts from 1 I to into p a e m r n e u n t t 0 . in ( v T e 1 t e g a H t ioenn. ofC t o h m e m i i t s e s m i o s n e e f r e e r r e e s e p n e t e e t r i ed ve tenders of Bennett and Bird, to prove his allegations.) Now, he had set out by saying that a gross fraud had been com mitted on the public. He did not say by whom ; but it evidently appeared from the figures he had presented to the Court that the tender of Mr. Bennett had been, by the instrumentality of the fraud, made to appear the lowest, when it was not really so. He had obtained his contract principally on the two items of bricks, and he had already shown what proportion they bore to the rest of the material and work in the contract. He had shown to demonstration, throughout the whole of those items, the enormous wrong that had been committed on the public, and he asked the Court if he did more than his duty as a sworn Commissioner, in telling them not to sign the cheque that day ? He had been often taken to task in that Court ' for doing what he conceived tc be his duty. He did not mean to confine himself to that Court. He would go before the Commisson at Gwydyr House, and ask them to make a searching inquiry into this matter. He wished a former Court to let the contracts go out for the works in Wellington-street, to allow the excavations and the constructions to be sepa rately tendered for, and they had refused to do so; but he hoped they might, in time, get into a proper mode of saving the public fund as much as possible. That was his case. The CHAIRMAN thought they should hear the Sur veyors of the Court in explanation, because, perhaps, the facts so strongly advanced by Mr. Leslie could be very easily explained by them. He thought they should, therefore, call on Mr. Dowley to do so. Mr. HAWKES thought that the officers should have time given them to prepare an answer. In fact, he thought the present business quite out of order. He would therefore move that the matter be adjourned till Tuesday next. Mr. KENDALL seconded the motion. Mr. LZSLIE was opposed to the adjournment. They had both their officers there. His statement was a mat ter of figures, given from the books of the Court in a plain and straightforward manner ; and he did not see why they should not reply at once in the same spirit. He had given notice—in fact, he had written to the clerk requesting these extracts, and he would read the correspondence. (The Hon. Gentleman did so.) He thought that granting this adjournment would be the most effectual means of throwing the inquiry overboard. Mr. HAWKES—Oh no The CHAIRMAN put the motion for adjournment, when 10 supported it, and 11 were for continuing the inquiry. Mr. Dowley was then requested to explain what he knew of the mode of supplying the numbers in the form of tender. (allowed 3lbs) The following also started :—Lord G.

GOODWOOD RACES.—YESTERDAY. Five races for the gentlemen, and four for the profes sional jockeys, made up an ample bill of fare for the fourth and last day of a meeting, that to the fullest ex tent has realised all that we had expected from it in the way of sport, it attracted a better company than usual at the fag end of the week, and the weather being favour able, went off with uncommon eclat. Owing to the de lays of the gentleman riders, the first race, which was fixed for half-past twelve, was not run until nearly one. It came off as follows : The Bathyany Stakes of 5 sovs. each ; three pm, st 121 b ; four yrs, list 71b ; five yrs, 12st 21b ; 6 yrs and aged, 12st 51b. Maidstone course. Lord G.

Y.echanic made nearly all the running, Naworth foi l:Owing three or four lengths behind him, until they got into straight running, when ho drew upon him, reached him at the distance, ran with him head and head to the Chair, and enabled the Judge to pronounce it a dead heat. Elysium was a bad third. Deciding heat.—Even betting. Naworth won by a length.

Now, as to the three-inch, what were the tenders there ?—Bennett 10d., Bird Bd. Mr. LESLIE—Who got it ? Bennett.—(Laughter.) Mr. LESLIE—The tenpenny man got it then. Then as to the 4-inch landing, how do we find ourselves there? —Bennett 18d., Bird Is. Mr. LESLIE—Who got that ? Bennett.—(Laughter.) Mr. LESLIE—Now go to 5-inch landing.

Bedding, landing, and oak plank ing, per foot ; how were the tenders for those 7—Ben nett, Id., Bird, d. Mr. LESLIE—And who got it 7—Bennett. Mr. LESLIE—NaiIs and other items showed a similar result. The really lowest competitor lost, and Bennett was the chosen contractor. And his bill under the contract so obtained amounted since Michaelmas 1841, to 41,6491. 17s. Nothing could be more unfair, and he thought he might end as he had begun, by stating that a fraud had been committed, and that he had proved it. After a very long and desultory conversation, in which Mr. Willoughby, Mr. Hawkes, and others took part, A resolution was moved by Mr. It. C. SALE, and se conded by Mr. ALLASON, that " it appearing that, after a full examination of the surveyor that the charge of fraud brought by Mr. Leslie respecting Mr. Bennett's contract has not been proved, the sum of 1,0001. be paid forthwith to Messrs. I. and W. Bennett, contractors, on account of bills up to Midsummer, 1844." The remaining business was remitted till next meeting day, and the Court then adjourned. Won by ten lengths. The Olive Oil was lent by Lord G. Bentinck to Lord Glasgow to make this match, which arose out of a difference of opinion as to the relative merits of the two horses.

Croton Oil made play at a good pace, attended by Khorassan and Poison, to the turn, where the Knight-of the-Whistle lost the second place, which he held to the distance ; here, on Croton Oil's retirement, he took up the running, Pompey, who had hitherto laid off, follow ing him. At the stand the two singled themselves out, and ran a splendid race home, the Knight winning only by a head; Poison third, and the Pride of Kildare fourth.

The following are the general instructions for the guidance of her Majesty's naval officers employed in the suppression of the slave trade, presented to the House of Lords by the Earl of Aberdeen on Thursday last :- I.—The slave trade has boen denounced by all the civilised world as repugnant to every principle of justice and humanity. You are, however, to bear in mind, that Great Britain claims no right whatever with respect to foreign ships engaged in that traffic, excepting such as the law of nations warrants, or as she possesses by virtue of special treaties and conventions with particular States. 2. In proceeding to deal with a vessel suspected of being engaged in the slave trade, you aro in the first instance to refer to that part - of the instructions which applies to the particular circumstances of the case. But those instructions in no degree diminish the necessity of a careful study of the treaty, convention, or law, upon which they are founded. You are, therefore, to make yourself thoroughly conversant with the treaties, con ventions, and laws, as well as with all the instructions given to you relative to the slave trade ; and you aro to enjoin the officers under your command to make them selves acquainted with the parts that refer to the duties which those officers may have to perform, taking care to afford every facility for this purpose. 3. The powers with which you are invested on this service, are intrusted to you for the sole purpose of sup pressing the slave trade, and are never to be exercised without reasonable grounds of suspicion that the case is one of a vessel liable, on account of being engaged in the slave trade, to be brought to justice by her Majesty's ship under your command. 4. You are not to visit a vessel under a foreign flag on the high seas on suspicion of slave trade, except in virtue of special authority under treaty, or in case you have reason to believe that the vessel has no right or title to claim the protection of the flag she bears. 5. You are not, on any account, to search any vessel, whether British or foreign, lying within the recognised jurisdiction of a foreign civilised State, without the formal permission of the local authorities. 6. Towards every-functionary, British or foreign, with whom you may come in contact, you will invariably main tain a respectful and courteous demeanour. 7. Towards the masters and crews of vessels whose cases it will be your duty to investigate in the service of suppressing the slave trade, you will not only use mode ration and discretion, combined with firmness in the exe cution of the duty entrusted to you, but will take ev er y op p or tunity of affordi ng th em Yassistance in distress, giving them medical advice when required, and furnish ing supplies when they are urgently needed and can properly be spared by her Majesty's ships. 8. You will take special care to insure propriety of language and demeanour on the part of officers, seamen, and i n to contact in the se rv i ce o f su ppressing the slave d e marines, ; and to all persons with whom they may come they must be reminded that any breach o f discipline, or any exhibition of intemperance , will be visited with severe punishment ; and in all cases her Majesty's officers are to recollect that they will b e held ans werable, not only f or th e i r own co nduct, but for that of their men. t trade 9. You are not, without necessity, to resort to co ercive measures for bringing vessels to ; and you are to be cautious not to occasion further deviation from the course such vessels are steering than a due regard to the service on which you are employed may require ; and you will bear in mind that, in every case, and in all stages of the proceedings, it is highly . important to cause to the vessel visited as little delay or inconvenience a s possible, consistent with the effectual discharge of the duty to be executed. 10. You are not entitled to insist that a boat shall be sent to you from a vessel which has been brought-to for the purpose of being visited, or that any person shall come, or that any papers shall be brought on board of her Majesty's ships, upon such occasions. 11. On all occasions of visiting suspected vessels, the officer sent on board is to be in proper uniform, and of the rank required by the treaty or instructions under which the visit is made, and the boat in which he goes is always to carry a British flag and pendant ; and he is to be provided with the documents conferring authority to visit and search, and the instructions applicable to the occasion. 12. Before an officer proceeds to search a vessel, the minutest inspection is to be made of her papers, and every information elicited which can be obtained by in quiries courteously made ; as by this means the necessity of a search may be avoided. 13. The crew of a boat sent to visit a suspected vessel is never to be suffered to quit the boat, unless specially ordered to do so. The officer is not to order them to quit the boat, unless it may be necessary to search the! vess el, or unless circumstances of the moment impera tively require it. If further assistance is obtained from the cruiser, for the purpose of making a minute search, the additional men must be accompanied by a sufficient num ber of officers to prevent damage to the cargo, or any irrregularity or excess. 14. Neither the m aster, nor any o f t h e persons on board the vessel, are to be removed during the search, without their consent. 15. When, after the examination, there appears to be no sufficient ground for seizure, everything that has been removed is to be replaced as quickly as possible, and carefully restored to its original state and condition; and the vessel is to be permitted to pursue her course without delay. mentioned in 16. In the case the preceding article, before the officer quits the vessel, he is to ask the master whether he has any complaint to make of the manner in which the search has been panconducted or on any other ground ;if the master should have y complaint to make, the officer is to request him to s p ec if y t h e parti l..rs in writing, for our information, and you are to cam.__ the sa me most carefully , and to lo se no time investigate remedy as circumsta nces a d m i t an d t h e in applying suc case may require. .n If you make the sea. 1 person, you will yourself this • follow the directions Lc)ntairA in article. 17. In all cases w here vessels are visited or searched on suspicion of being engaged in the slave trade, the visiting officer, before quitting the vessel, is to offer to enter on her log a statement of proce e di ngs on board ; and, in case the offer is accepted, he is to be careful to note down the exact time that elapsed from the time the vessel was boarded to the time she was liberated or seized. 18. When the visiting, o . officer has verbally sortedreehis proceedings to not to is, in all cases, wheth es sel be seized or not, to commit the same to writiag im ,*th all the particulars, while the facts are mediately, ; and this fresh in his memory written statement is to specify w hether any complaint was made by the master or any other person on board the vessel. This statement is to be inserted in the log, with the officer's signature attached, and you will forward a copy of it, with your own remarks, to the senior officer of the station, and a duplicate thereof to the Admiralty by the first opportunity.

Some complaints were conveyed to us on the course, and alluded to in our report of Wednesday's pro ceedings, of the delay which had taken place, in conveying the passengers by the South:Western Railway via Farnham to the course. But, on inquiry, we find, that the Railway Company were not to blame, having invariably performed their distance within the time stipulated, namely, three hours. It was in the journey from Farnham to Goodwood time was lost. The distt - ,ice is four and twenty miles, the latter part of the journey through the park, being up a long and precipitous hill ; and this, with stoppages, even with the b'jst teams, could scarcely be performed in much less than three hours—a period which, from the early }Lour at which the races commenced, half-past twelve. necessarily led to one or two races being dis pose,r,i of before the travellers could by any possibility ar.rive. In future years it may be desirable to start a special train at six instead of seven o'clock. LEOMINSTER RACES—WEDNESDAY.

When you have determined to detain a vessel, you will immediately notify your intention to her master ; you will cause a careful search to be made for all papers and documents on board ; and will take possession of the same, causing them to be numbered and described in a list which you will sign. In this list the papers volun tarily delivered up must be distinguished from any that may have been concealed. If any should have been de stroyed or thrown overboard, the nature of the papers, so far as it may be known, with the circumstances under which they were made away with, must be carefully stated at the bottom of the list ; and some person cog nizant of the facts must be sent with the vessel to make affidavit thereof to the court of adjudication. 20. On the detention of a vessel you will have a note made of the quantity of money or other valuables on board, and sign the same, and have that note duly wit - nessed, to be produced upon the trial of the case ; and you will take especial care that the articles are deposited in safe custody. 21. Whatever arrangement may be made for the dis posal of the crew of a captured vessel, the master and two persons at least of her crew must be sent, together with the vessel, to be produced before the court, as ne cessary witnesses in every case. And one of those per sons should be the chief mate, supercargo, or boatswain. 22. If you do not yourself accompany the detained ves sel for trial, you will give the officer in charge directions in writing for his conduct during the voyage. 23. You will place under the command of the officer sent in charge a crew sufficient for the vessel's safe con duct, with provisions for the voyage; and you will give the officer strict orders for the preservation of the ship, her cargo, and everything on board, and for the preven tion of embezzlement, excess, or irregularity of any sort. 24. You will deliver to the officer sent in charge all the papers found on board, together with the other necessary documents, and the officer must be careful to keep them in safe custody during the voyage. You will also in struct him to endeavour to obtain, by every proper means, additional information as to the case ; and if he succeeds in finding any additional papers or documents, he is to preserve them carefully to be produced at the trial. 25. The officer in charge, as soon as possible after he has gone on board the vessel, is to draw up, with the assistance of the master, an inventory of the stores, fur niture, and also of the cargo of the vessel, so far as it can be ascertained without disturbing the stowage ; and, should it be practicable, the cargo is to be secured by sealing down the hatches. The inventory is to be made out in duplicate, and signed both by the officer in charge and the master of the vessel ; and one of these docu ments is to be retained by the officer, and the other by the master. 26. If slaves should be on board, every effort is to be made to alleviate their sufferings and improve their con dition, by a careful attention to cleanliness and ♦entila tion, by separating the sickly from those who are in good health, by encouraging the slaves to feel confidence in her Majesty's officers and men, and promoting amongst thorn cheerfulness and exercise. 27. The officer in charge of a captured slave-ship will be warranted in landing the slaves, or transferring them to other vessels, whenever such measures are absolutely necessary, but not otherwise ; and in such cases a cer tificate of all the circumstances must be drawn out, and be taken with the vessel to the place of adjudication. In most cases of seizure under treaty, this contingency is provided for: under some of the treaties, the slaves must be carried eventually to the port of adjudication. Reference on this, as on other points, must be had to the treaty or convention applicable to the case, and to the instructions thereon. _ _ 28. All British subjects found employed on board a detained British or foreign slave vessel are to be sent with two witnesses to a British port for trial as soon as possible. Foreigners on board a British slave vessel, or in a foreign slave vessel seized in British waters, are to be dealt with in the same manner as British subjects. Foreigners forming the crew of foreign vessels cap tured under treaty are to be dealt with according to the stipulations thereof. 29. The master and crew, or such part of them as may be left on board a detained slave-vessel, are to be well treated, and not to be subjected to further restraint than may be requisite for insuring the due execution of the service intrusted to the officer in charge ; but it will be necessary to guard against all attempts at recapture, whether by open force or any other means. 30. The officer in charge is to keep a log of his pro ceedings from the time he goes on board until he is re lieved from his charge ; he is to note in his log any per ceptible changes in the state, quantity, or position of the cargo, and all accidents to the vessel or her rigging, and their results. 31. In all cases of capture, a full and accurate account of everything captured or destroyed, and of the disposal of the same, is to be sent in, together with<a report of the case, by the officer in charge to the senior officer on the station, and a duplicate thereof to the Secretary to the Admiralty, by the earliest opportunity. 32. If a vessel at the time of seizure, should be run on shore and wrecked, or afterwards lost or abandoned, the slaves, the stores, cargo, &c., that can be saved and transported, are to be taken to the port of adjudica tion, together with the necessary witnesses. All papers which may be found are to be carefully preserved, and an affidavit of the facts must be made, as the foundation of the proceedings before the court for trial of the case. When there are no slaves on board, the equipments. or such parts thereof as are saved, should be carried to the port of adjudication, for the purpose of supplying evidence of the slave trading. 33. On arriving at the port of adjudication, the officer in charge is to make himself acquainted with the course of proceeding in the court before which the vessel is to be tried. In all cases it will be necessary for him to make an affidavit, verifying the papers brought into court, and to annex the papers thereto. If any should have been destroyed or concealed, the particulars are to be stated in that affidavit. In cases of captures under treaty, the instructions thereon must be referred to for the forms of documents and course of proceedings at the port of adjudication. In other cases, the affidavit as to ships' papers should be drawn up in the form stand ing as an appendix to this section, unless there should be a different form prescribed by the court before which the vessel is adjudicated. 34. If, upon any occasion of capture, there are not any papers found on board, an affidavit to that effect will be the ground of the proceedings. 35. On delivering over the vessel to the person au thorised by the Court to receive her, the officer in charge is to produce the inventory drawn up by himself and the master ; and he is to request that a receipt may be given for all the articles contained in the inventory, ex cepting of course where any deficiencies may appear ; and where this is the case, he will report the cause thereof to the court, and to his commander, on his re turn to the ship. 36. The officer sent in charge will give his best as sistance in every way, where called upon, to the Court, for the due adjudication of the case of he vessel and her cargo, if any ; and, upon judgment being given, will immediately report in writing to the officer under whom he is serving his proceedings and the judgment of the court, and mill send a duplicate of that report to the Admiralty by the first opportunity. Given under our hands, this 12th day of June, 1844. G. COCKBURN. W. IL GAGE. By command of their Lordships. SIDNEY HERBERT. LITERAT URE. THE VOYAGE OF LIFE, 3 Vols. Bentley, London, 1844. Those of our readers who care only for the excite ment of fiction, and are not very particular as to pro bability or sustained continuousness of incident, will derive much amusement from the perusal of this story, which abounds in the romantic and the adventurous, in the New World as well as in the Old, and is re commended by the graces of an easy, fluent, style. Many of the most graphic scenes in the story are laid in Canada ; and one of the most extraordinary inci dents, which takes place close beside the I ails of Niagara, is—so the authoress, Miss Muro, assures us I • in her preface—a literal fact, thereby affording an other illustration of Lord Byron's hacknied remark that " truth ,is stranger than fiction." The descrip tions in the second volume of the terrible fire in New York is a powerful piece of painting ; but the account of the rescue of Colonel Vernon and Edith Courtenav, by the hero and his brother, draws much too largely on the reader's credulity. Improbability of incident, indeed, is throughout the great defect of the narrative, and deprives it of much of the interest that would otherwise belong to it. THE JILT. 3 Vol. Bentley, London. This is truly a story of the present day. Some of the most characteristic scenes are laid at the 'West end of the metropolis, and have reference to the fashionable academy of Mrs. de Belton, where young ladies are so highly and diligently polished, pre vious to their entrance into the enchanted world of the ball-room, that not a particle of rude, healthy, natural feeling is left adhering to them. The cha racter of Mrs. de Belton is drawn with great tact, yet without exaggeration ; and the advice which she gives to her pupils--especially as regards their matri monial views—is full of quiet sarcasm. The Jilt, Melicent Luttrell, who gives the title to the tale, is also a well-sustained portrait, though difficulties and trials are at times heaped upon her in a lavish profu sion, savouring not a little of the improbable. greater energy than they had yet shown to maintain the empire in its integrity.—(Hear.) The only measure which had been introduced for Ireland, was the Charita ble Bequests Bill ; and that was really no new law— scarcely an amendment of the law, for it did no mare than to allow the Catholics to avail themselves of a - fs board already in existence.—(Hear.) The Registration 1 d Act was not an indication of a conciliatory spirit to Ire land. It diminished the existing constituency, which in common sense and justice ought to be extended. It deprived the people of the rights they had possessed, instead of extending to them the rights possessed by the English people.—(Hear, hear.) There were now two vacancies in the representation, and he thought they ought to be given to the county of Cork, which was the most inadequately represented portion of the United Kingdom.—(Hear, hear.) lie would next advert to the legal appointments of the present Government. They had selected for the bench, a gentleman who had distinguished himself up to an advanced period of his life for the constancy and energy with which he had supported anti-popular opinions.—(Hear, hear.) It was unfortunate that the Government should have so acted in respect to the magistracy as to shake the confi dence of the people in the administration of the laws. Mr. O'Brien was dismissed from the magistracy because he presided at a meeting for expressing sympathy to O'Connell, although Mr. O'Brien declared at that meet ing that he was not a repealer. At the very same time Mr. O'Driscoll, who had been twice dismissed from the magistracy for gross misconduct, was re-instated. — (Hear, hear.) With respect to the Commission of In quiry into the relation of landlord and tenant, he would only say that he expected no good result from it, for nothing could benefit the country which would serve only for a new distribution of its produce without any new development of its resources. In point of fact, they were in the same position as to Ireland that they were in three years ago. Her Majesty's Government took credit to themselves for having governed Ireland without having recourse to any extra-constitutional or coercive law. He would not say that he should, under all circumstances, oppose a suspension of the Constitu tion; but he would say, that nothing had occurred in Ireland in those three years to offer a pretext to the Government for suspending the Constitution.—(Hear, hear.) He would conclude by imploring the Govern ment to act towards Ireland with that justice and im partiality which might convince the people of that part of the empire that the union was an advantage to them. Lord WHARNCLIFFE defended the conduct of the present Government. Their constant object had been to render the administration of justice in England and Ireland as pure as possible.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Marquis said that the Government had done nothing far Ireland. Now he (Lord Wharncliffe) had been the person to answer the speech of a Noble Lord opposite in the beginning of the session on the subject of Ireland. He stated at that time that agitation and sedition were approaching to the verge of treason—that the Govern ment would enforce the law—and that they would also administer the law in a just and conciliatory spirit.— (Hear, hear.) He trusted that they had fulfilled those promises. —(Hear, hear.) The conciliatory measures of the Government in respect to education had deprived them of the support of those Members of the other House of Parliament upon whom they would otherwise have most depended.—(Hear, hear.) It was very different in such matters—for instance, in the case of Maynooth—to conciliate one party without offending the other.—(Hear, hear.) The next subject was the social improvement of the people. He would put it to the Noble Marquis, and to the House, whether it was possible to take measures for improving the social condition of the people, without ascertaining the real state of the relations between landlord and tenant, to which much of the evils in the social state of Ireland was attributed. The inquiry was proceeding, and he hoped that a measure, founded on it, would be laid before Par liament next year.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble M ar q uis had not done justice to the Government when be said that the object of the Registration Act was to limit the constituency. They would have been perfectly willing to adopt such modifications as would enlarge, instead of restricting the constituency.—(Hear.) With respect to the dismissal of magistrates for being repealers, he would only say that, in the state in which Ireland was in 1843, it would not be safe to retain those gentlemen in office.—(Hear, hear.) He felt it his duty to defend the Government to which he belonged, and of which it was the earnest desire to govern those two countries Oil equal footing as much as possible—to preserve the peace —and to repress that agitation which kept the people of Ireland in a degraded state, and thwarted every effort to elevate and improve them. It was the wish of her Ma jesty's present Ministers to govern Ireland upon prin ciples of equity and justice, and not by means of a party. Lord MONTEAGLE had heard with great satisfac tion the speech of the Noble Lord, and nothing should fall from him that could tend to impair the effect of so satisfactory an avowal of the inten tions of the Government towards Ireland. He re gretted, however, that the Government continued to tolerate the spy system, and to give encouragement to wicked persons to seduce the ignorant and unsuspect ing into the commission of crime. —(Hear, hear.) He had seen many instances in his own country of the hatred of the people to those spy witnesses, whereas the jurors were treated with the utmost respect. Recently it had occurred that parties had formed a conspiracy to swear informations against innocent persons, and had set fire to the premises of Lord Dunsany, in order to ac cuse innocent parties of the crime which they themselves had committed. Those persons had since been convicted on the evidence of the innocent parties, the Government themselves having ordered the prosecution. The first question that would be put to those who supported the Union, on their return to Ireland, would be, What has the Legislature done during this session fur Ireland ? The best answer that could be furnished to those who supported the union would be to enable them to refer to the statute-book, and to say such and such measures have been passed for the benefit of Ireland. — (Hear, hear.) His Noble Friend had referred to the arguments which he had used in the House of Commons against the repeal of the union. He gave the Govern ment credit for what they said, but let them be enabled to appeal not only to the words spoken, but to the deeds performed.—(Hear, hear.) During the whole of this session they had had a great judicial question pending, which had rendered it impossible for them to discuss Irish questions, but they would not have remained so inactive as regards those questions had it not been that they could not discuss them without prejudicing that great case. Their object in the present discussion was not to strengthen their own party—not to add fuel to the flame of party—but to lay before the Government and the country subjects of consideration which might be brought to maturity during the next year ; and to state openly the points to which they thought the atten tion of the Government ought to be directed. In some points the Government had redeemed their pledges, and he would not for one instant attempt to undervalue the importance of their measures. The Bill with respect to Catholic Charities was one of the most important measures which had passed since the union. It was a recognition of the Catholic priesthood, and expressed a desire to conciliate them rather than to regard them with hostility. It promoted, not only the well-being, but the independence of the Catholic clergy; and the amend ments which had been in it, had been made in a spirit and with an intention on the part of the Government to render the Bill more acceptable. The courage, the honesty, and the good sense of recognising on the face of the Bill, the existence of the Catholic archbishops and bishops was most praiseworthy. It removed a stigma under which the Roman Catholic hierarchy felt they were labouring. The democratic character which had been infused into the Catholic Church contrary to th© spirit of its hierarchy, and of its constitution, would re ceive a check from this recognition.—(Hear, hear.) To make the education system work in Ireland, they must get Catholics and Protestants to co-ope rate. He could have wished the Government had spoken out more boldly upon this subject, but he approved of the increase in the grant. He thought much might be done to improve the physical condition of the people by the establishment of agricul tural schools. With regard to the franchise, he would warn them against committing any false step. The re presentations made to the people that the Bill of last session was intended to limit their franchises had made repealers by wholesale. He believed the measure proposed this session was intended to increase the fran chise, but so long as they made the f ranchise de p endent on the lease, they gave the landlord the power of de stroying the franchise. They must have an occupation franchise.—(Hear.) The clause giving the new lot. franchise without occupation contained in the Bill was one which it behoved every Irishman to oppose. It would revive the worst features of the faggot system. He intreated the Government seriously to consider this question.—(Hear, hear.) Lord REDESDALE—R is the law in England. Lord MONTEAGLE—It might be the law in Eng. land, but would they give Ireland the whole of the Eng. lish franchise—that was what Mr. O'Connell asked ? Lord REDESDALE—The whole of the county Iran. chise. Lord MONTEAGLE was obliged for the interrup tion, but they must give Ireland the town franchise also. Lord REDESDALE—We are only talking of the county franchise. Lord MONTEAGLE considered the Noble Lord an excellent specimen of those who, on the other side, talked of equality with England.—(Hear ' hear.) They would give Ireland equ a lity w ith England when it suited their purposes, but the instant a real equality was proposed—the instant such an equality was proposed as would be beneficial to Ireland, they stopped short and refused it.—(Hear, hear.) With regard to the grant to Maynooth, he approved of the intention expressed by the Government to increase that grant. He trusted that the Government would look to the subject in every light, for if they did not intend to do all that was wanted they had better do nothing. As to the Landlord* •ond Tenants Bill it was said information was wanted—the? wanted no such thing, as every information had been long since obtained upon that subject. The Noble Lord concluded by apologising to the House for the length of time he had occupied them, but he trusted he had not said anything that was calculated to produce any 13 feeling in any one.—(Hear, hear.) The Earl of WICKLOW did not look upon the Repeal Association with that seriousness his Noble Friend had done. Because he believed that the Repeal question would not ga in much ground in Ireland. He trusted to the good sense and feeling of the middle classes in Ireland, to soon put an end to the repeal agitation in Ireland. He believed that, con.. stituted as the repeal association at present Est, then.. was no measure that could be brought into Parliament that would meet their views or give them satisfaction. He believed that the prejudices against the Protestants, were fast diminishing. He could not join in censures of his Noble Friend on the Government as to, the man., ner in which they proposed to elect the persons whcy were to educate the people of Ireland. He agreed wit* his Noble Friend that animosities and clamour had been raised in Ireland, in consequence of the system of registration that had bets adopted in that country under a Bill that wag IMPER/AL PARLIAMENT. MONUMENT TO THOMAS CAMPIIELL.—We have much pleasure in stating that it is contemplated to erect a monument in Glasgow to Thomas Campbell, author of " Pleasures of Hope."—Glasgow Saturday Post. The Hon. James Erskine Murray, whose melan choly death in Borneo will be found detailed in the extracts from the Overland Mail, was of the Elibank family, and married the only child of Mr. James Erskine, of Man, which name he assumed upon his marriage. He was uncle of the present Lord Elibank, and an advocate at the Scotch bar. He published, a few years since, a very interesting work, detailing a pedestrian tour he made across the summits of the Pyrennees. He was in bis 35th year. DEATH OF MR. RALPH LAMBTON.—We regret we have to announce the death o f the above gentleman, who has been, since February , 1837, confined to his couch, from the effects of a fall while hunting. The Venerable Gentleman expired on Monday last, at his seat, Horton-house, Durham. Mr. Lambton was son of General and Lady Susan Lambton,daughter of the Earl of Strathmore, and uncle of the late Earl of .Durham. Mr. Lambton was well known in the sporting world es having for many years been a master of bounds in the INorth, which he onl y g ave up at the time of his accident although of a great age, and sold his hounds to Lord svffieht fcpr a higher price than was ever given before, HOUSE OF LORDS, August 2. Their Lordships met at Five o'clock. Lord CAMPBELL moved for a message to be sent to the House of Commons for a conference between the two Houses upon the Commons' amendments to the Common Law Process (Ireland) Bill.—The motion was agreed to. SLAUGHTERING OF HORSES BILL. Lord BEAUMONT moved the :second reading of the Slaughtering of Horses Bill, which he said was an amendment of the 16th George 111., commonly called the " Knackers' Act." The Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. The Bishop of LONDON presented petitions from Sir Harcourt Lees and others against the repeal of the penal laws affecting Roman Catholics. Lord BROUGHAM presented a great number of petitions from individuals upon various subjects, the purport of the majority of which were not distinctly caught in the gallery. One was a petition from Thomas Easthope, Esq., of Lancaster, praying the House to pass a law for the purpose of preventing Roman Catholic priests from abusing the confidence of dying persons, by extorting legacies for their Church. The Noble and Learned Lord presented also a petition from Lord Dundonald, stating that he possessed a secret of a destructive power, surpassing any of the imple ments of war at present known, and requesting to be ad mitted to competition with other inventors. He (Lord Brougham) had been fur many years his legal adviser-in all matters relating to his patents, and he (Lord Brougham) would say that Lord Dundonald was the only projector he had ever known who did not exaggerate the powers of his own constructions. The Metropolis Buildings Bill was read a third time and passed. BARBARY STATES—TUNIS. Lord BEAUMONT put a question to the Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, respecting the execu tion of a British subject at Tunis by the Moslem autho rities. Lord ABERDEEN said that in the case referred to by the Noble Lord, the Maltese had committed a double murder. He had murdered a Tunisian and a Maltese. For the murder of the Maltese the crimi nal was tried by the tribunals instituted according to agreement with the Turkish States ; but for the other murder he was tried by the Tunisian tribunals. The Consuls applied to the Dey to delay execution until the opinion of the English Government could be obtained. When the matter was laid before him (Lord Aberdeen), he did not see any reason for interfering. He was con vinced that the execution ought to take place. If it had been left to him to say whether the criminal should be capitally punished or not, it would have been his painful duty to say that he should be punished. This view of the case was not taken by the other Powers of Europe. The Swedish and Sardinian Con suls had been withdrawn. But it appeared to him that this only showed that the English Consul had more influence and more prudence than all the other Consuls of Christian Europe put together. CONFERENCE WITH THE COMMONS. The business of the House was for some time inter rupted by the departure of the Earl of Glengall, Lord Duncannon, and other Peers, to a conference with the House of Commons on the subject of the Common Law Process (Ireland) Bill. TUNIS. Lord BEAUMONT resumed the discussion. He said that he could not give any credit to the Noble Earl opposite for hanging the Maltese.—(A laugh.) If any credit were due to any one, it was to the Bey.—(Hear and laughter.) It might be laughing matter to their Lordships, but it was no joke to those Christians whose lives were in jeopardy in the Turkish States. The Earl of ABERDEEN could not guess what the Noble Lord wanted. Her Majesty's Government had taken care that justice should be done in the case of this Maltese. The Bey delayed execution until he consulted the British Government, and the criminal was pro perly put to death.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") If the man had murdered only a Maltese he would have been tried by the Christian tribunal ; but he murdered also a Tunisian, and that crime brought him under the jurisdiction of the Turkish tribunals. The Bey, how ever, showed so much deference to the English Govern ment as to suspend the execution of the sentence until he had communicated with her Majesty's Government. The Earl of MINTO said he was sorry that the Noble Earl saw nothing to complain of in the interference of other Consuls in a matter which concerned England only. The Earl of ABERDEEN said that he had nothing to ask for in the way of reparation, for the man was strangled before the resolutions of the Consuls were known in England.—(Hear, and a laugh.) RAILWAY TRAVELLING ON SUNDAYS. On the order of the day for the third reading of the Railways Bill, The Bishop of LONDON moved an amendment on the 6th clause, for the purpose of relieving railway companies from the obligation of dispatching third class carriages on Sundays, Good Fridays, and Christ mas-days. He begged their Lordships to understand that he did not wish to prevent the railway companies from carrying this class of passengers on the Sabbath. His only object was to release the Government of this Christian country from the necessity of enforcing tra velling on the Lord's-day. Lord BROUGHAM agreed with the Right Rev. Pre late as to the importance of the due observance of the Sabbath. He believed that the interests of the work ing classes were involved in the due observance of the Sabbath, as a day of rest and a day of devotion. But the moral and religious feeling of the people of Eng• land was sufficient without any stringent law. With the exception of the country in which he was born and bred—Scotland—there was no part of the west of Europe where the Sabbath was better observed than England.—(Hear, hear.) He thought it would be quite sufficient for the observance of the Sabbath, if those who never saw the sun during the week were to go to church in the morning of Sunday, and afterwards to enjoy the green fields and the country.—(Hear, hear.) When lie was returning from Brighton lately on a Sunday, he found in the third-class carriage a number of persons who, with their wives and families, had been enjoying the great treat of the country and the sea for an expense of ss. each. His heart leaped in his breast to see the happiness of his humble and industrious countrymen and countrywomen.—(Dear, hear.) He hoped their Lordships would not agree to any enactment which would interfere with such wholesome and such innocent enjoyment.—(Cheers.) Lord MONTEAGLE said that the conduct of the railway companies in making the accommodation of the poorer classes as painful as possible, rendered it neces sary that the Government should be empowered to in• terfere. He opposed the amendment. The arrange ments for keeping the Sunday sacred were in most cases futile. In the Post-office, the Christian conscience of the Legislature was strict on Sunday in the metropolis, but it ceased to exist twelve miles out of town.—(Hear, hear.) He had found himself an instance where a steam boat was prevented from crossing the Severn on a Sun day, and yet he was allowed to transfer, from one side of the river to the other, his carriage, luggage, and family, by human labour. The amendment of the Right Reverend Prelate would not interfere with the travelling of the rich, whilst it would amount to an in terdiction of the travelling of the poor. As had been well said in the other House, the object of the amend ment was to indulge Dives and to restrain Lazarus.— (Hear, hear.) He implored the House not to introduce such an inequality between their Lordships and their less fortunate f e llow-countrymen.—(Cheers.) The Earl of WICKLOW supported the amendment. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE denied that the clause would compel any railway company to run a carriage or a train on Sundays. It only compelled them to carry Lazarus if they chose to carry Dives,—(Hear.) It would only compel the companies to provide accom modation for the poor as well as for the rich.—(Hear.) The Duke of WELLINGTON thought that the Bill was not rightly understood, and suggested that the dis cussion should be postponed for a day or two in order to give their Lordships time to consider the measure, in detail. He would suggest the adjournment of the debate till Monday.—(Hear, hear.) The Earl of WICKLOW explained. Lord CAMPBELL thought the adjournment unne cessary, for he believed that the House was now pre- ' pared to negative the amendment, which he would most strenuously oppose. Lord BROUGHAM said that, on the Sunday on which ho came from Brighton, seven hundred persons came up by railway, and these required the assistance of three labourers only; whereas, if they had gone by coach to Hampton Court, they would have required the service of a hundred and twenty Sabbath-breakers. After a few words from the Bishop of LONDON and the Earl of RADNOR, the discussion was adjourned till Monday. UNLAWFUL OATHS (IRELAND) BILL. Lord WHARNCLIFFE moved the third reading of this Bill. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE took that oppor tunity of calling the attention of their Lordships to the conduct of the police, in seducing the people into crime, as it was exposed in the trials of Ogle and others. The Noble Marquis then read at length the evidence of the man Shanaghan, at the trial of Wade at the North Tipperary Assizes. (The reading of this extraordinary evidence created a very marked sensation in the House i ) He greatly deprecated the use of the spy sysstecm.ions t had never done any good. Persecutions, proeut, and informers, did no g ood. What had been the effect of the late trials of O'Connell and the others ? It had been to increase excessively the amount of the rent, which, since Easter, had amounted to upwards of 25,000/.—(Hear, hear.) The power of the Repeal As 'ation had been greatly increas ed , and presented now sarbolder front to the authorities than ever be fore.—(Hear.) He read extracts from the reports of speeches delivered at the Repeal Association to show that the Eepealers had become bolder in their language since the conviction and imprisonment of O'Connell. In 1834 the subject of repeal was brought before the House of Commons, in a substantive motion, by Mr. O'Connell, and a debate of great importance took place, in which his Noble Friend (Lord Monteagle) rendered most valuable service to both countries, by entirely de stroying Mr. O'Connell's arguments, and proving that Ireland was more benefited than England by the union. —(Hear, hear.) But in all the measures which had been passed of late years respecting Ireland, the Legisla ture had shown the greatest distrust of the Roman Ca tholic people of that country. That distrust was con spicuous in the Municipal Corporations Act, in which every care was taken to exclude Catholics from muni cipal office and influence. The result had been that the great mass of the population, and the large majority of people of rank and wealth and station were united in calling for the repeal of the union, having no longer any confidence on the Imperial Parlia ment. The present Administration had dOne nothing for Ireland, and if they allowed three years more to pass over in the same way, they would find the repeal question to have taken so deep a root, as to require Atam \ mama& 'the lite& gold their edolg lour r, - o the nth . * ; h0 of d on took. u the red of, op 0 ' The 4nted 1 and taillP g ble ° jot, of:" Dn ioat was 3 der 51\00 ,1 c , ) 1
