SECOND ED-1iiON:: ebtniAtiern LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 1844. In the House of Lords the Earl of CLARENDON asked Lord ABERDEEN if he had any objection to produce the correspondence which had taken place between the Government and Don CARLOS, relative to the marriage of his son with the Queen of SPAIN. The Earl of ABERDEEN did not consider it ex•pe dient to produce the correspondence, but, at the same time, admitted a letter had been addressed to him on the part of Don CAuLos, offering to resign his pre tensions to the Spanish Crown, OR condition of the marriage of his son with Queen ISABELLA. He had communicated the fact to the Spanish Government, without - pressing for an answer. Lord BROUGUA.,I moved the third reading of the Insolvent Debtors' Act Amendment Bill. The ob ject of the 13111 was to screen unfortunate debtors, I I and not thos e g uil ty of fraud or contumacious con duct. After some discussion, the Bill was referred to a Select Committee. Lord COTTENHAM then moved the third reading of his Bill on the same subject,. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved that it be recom mitted. A division took place, when there were fur the third reading, 4; and against it, 28. The Bill was then referred to a Select Committee, in com pany with Lord BROUGHAM'S, and the House Ad journed at Half-past Nine. After the presentation of petitions and some other business of little importance in the Commons, Mr. CHRISTIE asked the SOLICITOR-GENERAL whether the current report was true, that, at the . election for Abingdon, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had I distributed 501. among the crowd from a bag of money in his lap. The speech of the Hon. Member on this subject is very amusing and instructive. The Som crroß-GE:*EnAL did not deny the charge, but he found fault with the mode of putting questions to Members. He could not deny, however, that he had received due notice ; for he candidly ad mitted that Mr. CHRISTIE had informed him a week ago that he would put the question, but at the same time he must state that he could not give his sanction to such a practice, and that he must decline answering the question. Is everything going to wreck in this Conservative Government ? The second law-officer of the Crown is charged with a heinous offence, and he tosses up his head and says, I will not plead." We hope Mr. CHRISTIE will not lose sight of the question. Of what use is it for the Commons to order the law-officers of the Crown to indict Sudbury for bribery and corruption, if the SOLICITOR-GENERAL is charged with the same offence, and cannot deny the charge ? Sir FREDERICK TIIESIGEIt is much mistaken if he thinks that any class of-the community will suffer such insolence. In answer to a question from Mr. SHEIL relative to national education in Ireland, of which he had given notice, Sir R. PEEL cautioned Hon. Members not to place implicit confidence in newspaper reports, snd asserted that the instructions to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland were to give the patronage of the Government to those who had the best claims on the ground of professional merit and character. On the report of the Sugar Duties Bill being brought up, Mr. EWART moved that slave and free labour sugar be admitted on the payment of equal duties. A division took place, when there were for the motion 65, and against it 183. The Bill was or lered to be read a third time on Monday, with the understanding that the Bank Charter Bill should have the precedence. The House went into Committee on the Dissen ters' Chapels Bill, when the principal clauses were agreed to, the amendments being rejected. The House then resumed, and the report was brought up and or lered to be received on Monday. The County Coroners Bill was read a third time, after an amendment, proposed by Mr. Hum; had been rejected by a majority of 18. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Twelve o'clock. A Conservative dinner took place on Tuesday last Middleton, at which, among other topics of con ;ratulation, one of the speakers —a parson, answering to the name of WILKINSON —felicitated his audience on the fact that though " this was the third week of O'CoNxeLe's captivity, he had not hanged himself; and ,he Irish Channel was not yet on fire, Ireland was not yet in rebellion, the DUKE was not beheaded, nor PEEL in the Tower." Truly these are excellent theme 3 for Conservative congratulation ! The party anticipated, no doubt—and most reasonably so—that the consequences of their Irish policy would have been a general convulsion throughout the length , and breadth of the sister-country ; and because this has not taken place to the extent they apprehended_ because, instead of being in open, desperate rebellion, Ireland is only in a state of ferment and discontent, and becoming more and more the weakness rather than the strength of England, therefore the Con servatives—who, to do them justice, are singularly Lie:Aerate in their expectations—concei ve that their policy has been most successful, and that the late trial Ind imprisonment of O'Coeeeen has been a master stroke of generalship ! Not to have precipitated Ire land into rebellion, this purblind party imagine to have been the most convincing proof possible uf their dexterity and wisdom as statesmen, which shows, notwithstanding their boastings, that at heart they entertained sore misgivings re specting the probable issue of their Irish policy. The Chairman of the Middleton dinner, fired with the glorious ambition of equalling, if not of surpassing, the Rev. Mr. WILKINSON in the faculty of talking nonsense, expressed his conscientious belief that "in this cause of Conservatism, as well as every other in which they were engaged, Providence guided them." Here, then, we have at length a clue to the twistings, and wrigglings, and tergiversations, of the Conserve tive party ! We were long at a loss to account for the unhesitating, bare-faced inconsistency of this eccentric party; but the Middleton Chairman has now kindly come forward and explained the reasons of their conduct. Their late decisions in the House of Commons were, it seems, given, not at the instigation of Sir ROBERT PEEL, but under the direct " guidance of Providence." It was " Providence" who prompted them to abandon the sacred claims of humanity, and fling the unpro tected factory women and children overboard ; and it was the same " Providence" who suggested the expe diency of their stultifying themselves on the question of the sugar duties ! " Providence"—to parody the language of the Times on a certain memorable occa sion—" Providence did it all !" He was the arch-tempter! But for his direct suggestions the Conservatives would never have dreamed of vio lating principle, and disgracing themselves in the eyes of every thinking and upright man in the community; but would have maintained at all hazards an inflexible, high-minded consistency. In the good old days of Toryism, it was the Devil who used to have the credit—or rather discredit—of being the great tempter; but the Conservatives, among other bright discoveries, have now found out that i is " Providence" who is entitled to this equivoca distinction ; and to his express interference the quick. witted MIDDLETON Chairman attributes the tergi. versations of his party. Surely there is gross bias. phemy as well as egregious nonsense here, ane the Society for the Suppression of Irreligion will do well to take this gentleman's irreverent cant about " Providence" into their attentive consideration ! At the same dinner, Mr. SOWLEB, a barrister of Man chester, thus gave vent to the party enthusiasm which overpowered his delicate sensibilities :—" It is a proud satisfaction to me to find so many honest and respect able men as I now see before me, united in carrying out the greatest cause on which English glory ever daWned—the cause whigh has made England what it is—the cause which has made you and me at this moment free to express our sentiments without fear, and to do that which our hearts dictate, to plead for the common freedom of our common country." Mercy on us, what a farrago of words is here! Is it Conservatism that the speaker is talking about, when lie alludes to " the greatest cause on which English glory ever dawned ?" Surely not, for no cause can be great that is not based on principle, and not even the most bigoted of the squad will have the intrepid effrontery to assert that the Conserva tives have a single shred of principle adhering to them. Principle, in fact, is the very thing in which they are mostglaringly deficient—the qualifica tion which of all others they most strenuously repudiate, and which they treat with the most contumelious indifference. Talk to a Conservative about principle; and if he be a frank, sincere man, who really speaks as he thinks, he will laugh outright in your face, and ask you in what benighted quar ter of Christendom you have received your political education. Principle and Conservatism ! Was there ever a greater contrast than is represented by these two terms ? Oil and vinegar have not a more marked antipathy to each other. Night and day are not more distinct from each other. Conservatism, let its advocates say what they will, is neither more nor less than a downright negation of all principle, and is fitliest defined by that jesuitical phrase_Expediene House at large, of enfeebling his own party, and com promising hi§ own control over it, by these ill-timed ebullitions of an unbecoming vexation, and these vexatious airs of an unbecoming authority. The Madrid journals of the 14th inst. contain no fresh intelligence. According to letters from Bar celona negotiations for modifying the tariff were still going on with every probability of success; and it was generally believed that foreign cotton goods would be admitted on payment of a duty of 30 per rant The Three per Cents. were done at 2.7 i for cash; the Five per Cents. at 201 at CO days, and the Float ing,Debt at 50. Most of the Paris journals contain articles on the quarrel•between France and Morocco, but with the exception of a few remarks in the Constitutionnel, they possess little interest. That journal infers that the affair cannot be finally settled without a contest, and at the same time states that a much larger force is to be sent under the command of the Prince DE JoniviLLE than was originally intended. As it speaks the sentiments of M. TRIERS, and also those of the Prince, the amount of satisfaction to be demanded on the part of France and the scheme proposed by the young Admiral, are entitled to some credit. "We are assured," says that journal, " that the satisfac tion consists of these three points—the repulsion of ABD-EL-KADEE from the territory of Morocco, the dismissal of the chiefs who commanded the Moorish army in the engagement with our troops, and the retreat of that army into the interior to a distance of several leagues from our frontier. Now, the EMPEROR has not, perhaps, even power enough to execute those conditions. England has offered her Mediation ; but has she herself the means of rendering it efficient ? It is not enough to persuade ABDERRAHMAN, but we must get the better of ABD . EL•KADER ; for our serious object is not the humiliation of the EMPEROR, but the expulsion of the warlike Marabout. Despite, therefore, of all the conferences between Lord COWLEY and M. GUIZOT, and of the entente cordiale, war will, perhaps be in evitable. The Prince DE JOINVILLE has proposed a' plan •of campaign, the result of which would have been the bombardment or temporary occupation of the ports of 'Tetuan, Tangiers, and Mogador. This vigorous planots is affirmed, has not been accepted, and vague and less energetic instructions will be given to the young Admiral. Nevertheless, an in crease of force has been conceded to him. The squa dron will consist 'of three line-of-battle ships, six steamers, and some for landing troops. We know not how far the force of circumstances will lead the French Government. It is, however, probable enough that, in presence of these threatening preparatisns, and under the influence of Great Britain, the EM PEROR will promise France every satisfaction, and do his best to expel ABD-EL-KADER. But it is rather We shall not be suspected of any extraordinary affection for Sir ROBERT PEEL. On general pri nc i. pies, and as to many prominent departments of his ministerial policy, we have ever been decidedly op_ posed to him. If we have freely given him all credit I for some important relaxations of the screw of mono ! poly, and for his not unfrequent exhibitions of a spirit of conciliation and liberality in dealing with religious dissent, and the political disabilities formerly conse quent thereon, we have never disassociated him from a party hostile to the intellectual improvement, the mo- TIIE SUN, LONDON SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 22, 1844. ral amelioration, and the political progress of the people. But we would willingly see his Government, EC long as it is destined to last, available to these great objects, whether he himself feel a personal interest in their achievement or not. Neither the Right Hon. Baronet (were his public services or merits double what they really have been), nor his party (were it's preten sions to the advancement of a generous and enlightened statesmanship tenfold all that can be predicated of its actual career), will weigh with us for one moment against what we consider to be the true interests of the people. In the name of these interests we must renew our protest of Wednesday against the principle and the tone of Sir ROBERT'S proceeding on the sugar duties question on Monday evening last. We will assume, for the purposes of this protest, that owing to the delay which must be interposed, at the present critical conjuncture of affairs, to the trans action of the public business from any change of ad ministration, by reason of difficulty in finding parti cular individuals in the ranks of Opposition sufficiently qualified for particula . r offices, or, being so qualified, sufficiently_willing to accept them, such a change of administration would be politically inexpedient for the nation. This is an hypothesis surely not unfavourable or unfriendly to the case of Sir ROBERT; and yet we contend that, in reference even to this, the whole speech and deportment of the Right Hon. Baronet, on the occasion in question, were not only calculated to prejudice, but must have inevitably damaged his cause, and the duration of his tenure of office. Sir ROBERT PEEL complained, on Monday n i g ht, that " here was a combination of parties against him ;" and he showed himself at once irritable and unwire in denouncing the attempt which had been made by the West India interest to enlist the agricul tural or landed interest under their banner, on that occasion, by proclaiming the common danger that would accrue to both these great bodies in the event of Ministers being enabled to carry a certain saltine of duties, which in practical operation must be fatal to the one immediately—and, in the application of its principle, must ultimately prove just as fatal to the other. Why, the West India body, in that appeal, were only paying the compliment to the Premier of accurately copying his own tactics ! By what other arts did the Right Hon. Baronet carry his Currency Bill in 1819, or his Tariff two years ago, or the Catholic Emancipation Bill in 1829, or the No- Confidence votes against former Governments to which he was in opposition, or his most unconstitutional In come and Property-tax in 1842, or his Bank Charter Renewal Bill of the present session—but by enlisting the apprehensions of one class in aid of the desires of another ; or by operating on the alarms of separate sections of political opponents, through the argument that the interests of each must be sacrificed to those of another, unless the whole would consult their common advantage by concurring in the propositions submitted by him for their adoption ? In these puerile re proaches Sir ROBERT did injustice to himself, as the Great Original Artificer of these successful amalga mations of heterogeneous materials of hostile action into one mass of flexible supporters. He had already worked Protestants and Dissenters, Calvinists and Roman Catholics, manufacturers and farmers, opera tive labourers, and master millowners, Radicals and Tories, bankers and bullionists, debtors and creditors, mortgagees and mortgagors, into a concordia discors on the above-named occasions, and as often on others as occasion required. Why should ha quarrel with Mr. PHILIP MILES for doing a little kneading of the same kind, on his own account ; and flavouring with the sugar of our West Indian colonists the corn pro duced here by British growers ? Sir ROBERT PEEL, moreover, talked on Monday night as if it were in the mature of mere factious ob struction to Ministers of the Crown, to propose amend ments on fiscal regulations which those Ministers, " in the exercise of their highest duty," and with the ad vantage of all the official informatiol in existence on the subject before them—had, after mature and an xious deliberation, recommended to Parliament for adoption. But this notion is grounded on a mere childish absurdity of assumption ; namely, that the Ministers of the Crown must necessarily have mas tered the zo,ble bearings of such official information ; and, by a species of patent infallibility, have arrived at the soundest possible conclusions upon it. But this impatience on the part of the Premier of the exercise, on the part of representatives of the people of that which is—constitutionally and positively, net con ventionally, only—their first duty to their con stituents—is the most unreasonable, the most unlike an English Statesman, we remember to have read of. The fact seems to be that Sir ROBERT PEEL is so spoiled with the success of his dictation in some recent and memorable cases, that he anticipates, from the House of Commons at large, the same blind, unrea soning deference which he habitually extracts from his supporters within its walls, but which Mr. DISRAELI, with equal spirit and emphasis, indignantly repudiated for himself and the friends who usually vote with him. The last and most commonplace artifice to which the Premier resorted, whilst still under the influence of his fears, and before the result of the incredible division of Monday had re-assured him —was, the threat of abandoning office if the House should ne gative the Government scale, and affirm that proposed by Mr. MILES. We will not weaken the effect of the manly and indignant castigation which this threat received from Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who remarked that such a process of attempted intimidation con sisted neither with the constitutional demeanour of a Member of Parliament, nor the responsible position of a Minister of the Crown—its obvious design being to deter Members from the free and frank expression of their opinions, by considerations extraneous to the merits of the question really before them. But we would remind Sir ROBERT PEEL himself, that he adopts the surest means of losing his personal influence with the late to succeed, and if th e E m i r h as i n Morocco all I the influence he is supposed to possess, the difficulties will be but adjourned." In a letter dated Toulon, the 16th inst., we find, the following intelligence " The last letters from- the R est of Algeria do not commu nicate any new fact; but it would appear that the Govern ment has received some intelligence of interest, for last night orders were received here to form a battalion of 700 men from the 3d regiment of marine infantry, now in garrison, and to embark them immed ia t e l y. T he prep arations for the de parture of the squadron, under the orders of the Prince de Joinville, are proceeding with all possible rapidity. It is an nounced that the Triton, the Jemmepes, and the Belle Poule frigate will form part of the expedition," ln the Chamber of Deputies, on Wednesday, the line of railway from Paris to Lyons gave rise to an animated debate, one party contending that it should run through the valley of the Seine, and the other through that of the Yonne. The question, however, was left open for discussion, and a vote was taken for a grant of 71,000,000 f. to form the line. On 'Wednesday morning, at eight o'clock, a general assembly of the Cour Royale took place, to deliberate on the rupture between the First Presi dent, Baron SEG UIER, and the members of the bar. After a discussion, which lasted six hours, it was de cided that the twenty-one members of the Council of Discipline, who all signed the letter addressed to M SEGUIER, shall be cited befcre the Court on the Ist Of July, to explain their conduct. According to the National the Government are re solved to cancel the resolution of M. CREMIEUX, by which Members of the Chambers are excluded from all participation in the management of railroads, and have for that purpose summoned all the absent Mem bers to Paris.

Recent advices give the fol lowing statistics, in reference to the probable transactions of the current season—say from October, 1843, to the same month in this year—and state that, whereas in 1841-2, the quantity of bark exported did not exceed 400 tons, it will most likely reach to near 3,000 tons this • season. Of the• great importance of this national product, and the necessity of protecting its future growth, we trust that the Government is fully aware ; the amount paid to the b ar k- s t r i ppers, and others engaged in hutching, bagging, &c. will, upon 3,000 tons, be 9,0001., the freight to the shipowner in England near 13,0001. It is not generally known that, highly as the bark of Van Diemen's Land is esteemed in England, that of Austria Felix is of a still superior quality. The circulation and general return of the Bank of Eng land is from March 23 to the 15th inst., and the weekly average, on a comparison, shows the following results : Circulation, Last time Now THIS DAY'S NEWS.

As to such alterations as will make the Bill what it ought to be, the banking fraternity have quite given up the idea, and positively think themselves fortunate in having obtained any alterations. They are not to be quite so closely screwed down, it seems, in regard to their issues of notes, as the average will be, on February, March, and April last, and if they do not exceed the amount apportioned to them on the monthly average, will not be liable to the penalties at first intended to have been inflicted ,on a weekly excess, aiming at steadiness of currency indeed with a vengeance, whereas the smallest tradesman can scarcely average his assets o n s i x months,' much less on six days. The month of October next will be the period when the new Bill comes into force. In the Savings Banks Bill there have also been a few improvements. Rather more in- terest is to be allowed than at first proposed, though the ne cessity for cutting down the present rate is not generally ac quiesced in.

T. Leader, M.P., at Putney; and, what is still more singular, this is the fourth season that the same bird, or one of the same species (tom-tit), has built its nest and reared its young in the same place. SETTLING WITH A CREDITOR.-011 Saturday, about two o'clock, while ?L Schnell, who lived in a country-house at Louvecienes, near Bougival, on the road to St. Germain, was walking in his grounds, he was accosted by a person t o whom h e h a d formerly lent 25,000 francs, demanding another loan. As M. Schnell had not seen his debtor for sixteen years, and the money remained unpaid, he peremp torily refused compliance, making some remonstrances against the he had reeived. Uon ths th ap• plicant drew treatment out a pair of pistols, c and said p, " We i will e soon settle the account—take your stand ;" and offered M. Schnell one of the weapons. He, however, refused this challenge, and held up his hand to some men who were mowing in his park, calling them .to his assistance. Upon this the man tired at M. Schnell one of the pistols, the bullet from which entered his back and lodged there; with the other pistol the assassin blew out his own brains. M. Schnell was not dead yesterday, hut lay in a dangerous state.—Galignani. WILTSHIRE.—We have now lying before us a list containing the names of eighteen men, living in one parish, with wives and families, varying in number from one to seven, each family averaging six individuals, and whose wages amount in no case to above 75., but which descend as ' low as ss. a-week! Where such destitution exists meetings of, the distressed to tell their griefs, and to. compare .notes, are important. Such meetings will increase. We trust their importance will not be overlooked. "A stitch in time saves nine" is a homely saying, but a true one.— Wiltshire lade pendent. • PROTECTION OF THE DUKE OF. YORK'S MONUMENT. --It appears that electrical rods have been placed from the base to the summit of the Duke of York's pillar to bring down the lightning. When, ask certain creditors, is it intended on the part of his Royal Highness to bring down the dust?— Punch. A FRENCH. Bur.L.—A quarrel happening: between an old. gentleman and , his, son, the former reproached the young man for his ingratitude. "I am under no obligation to you," said the youth : "on the contrary, you have done me a serious injury : for if you had never been born, I should now have been heir to my grandfather." COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY, . . UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Elizabeth Hart, a girl of 17, was charged with attempting ,to commit suicide by suspending herself to the iron hand-rail of Westminster Bridge. Policeman 32 L, stated that between four and five o'clock that morning, while on duty on the Surrey side of West .tninster Bridge, he went to the steps leading to the river, and saw the defendant with a strap buckled round her neck, and the other end of it mad e f ast to the iron hand-rail, lie immediately ran down the steps, and holding up the girl's body, unbuckled the strap from her neck, and finding she was in a state of insensibility, .he conveyed her to the station-house, and some restoratives having been adminis tered, she recovered sufficiently to be enabled to be brought up to this Court. In reply to Mr. CorrnmiLtar, the unfortunate girl said she was a flower maker, but that being out of employ, she was reduced to great distress, and had not tasted food for the last two days, and had not slept in a bed for five nights ; that she had no relations in London, and that it was the dreadful state of destitution she was in that instigated her to commit suicide. The policeman said that since she had recovered from her insensibility, she had expressed a determination to put her threat into execution. The MAGISTRATE directed the unfortunate girl to be pro vided with food, and said that he should remand her until Wednesday; in the meantime inquiry should be made re specting her. TOTAL LOSS of the MANCHESTER (STEAMER) . The following letter was received this morning by the secretary at Lloyd's, frc.ni the agent at Hull, dated June 21, 3 30 P.M. :- " The Leeds (steamer), Mowle' from Hamburgh, has ju s t arrived, bringing accounts, dated 18th inst., from Mr. Dutton,of Cuxh aven , stating that the M anc h ester (steamer), Capt. Dudley, which sailedhence 14th inst., appears to have been totally wrecked at the entrance of the Elbe, during a heavy gale on the 16th and 17th inst. from the northward. " The boats broken, also considerable quantities of broken bales of cotton, twist, and other goods and wreck, have been washed ashore at Cuxhaven. As there is no account of the crew and passengers, it is feared that the whole have pe rished. The ship had a very valuable cargo on board. (Signed) " EDW. MOOS.

A WOMAN KILLED BY HER HUSBAND.—On Wed nesday afternoon, at four o'clock, an inquest was held at the Rose Inn, Cannon-street, Dover, before the Borough Coroner, on the view of the body of Julia or Mary Macarthy, who died at the Horse and Jockey the same morning. It having been alleged that d eceased had been murdered by her husband, the inquest room, as well as the street in front of the Rose, was considerably crowded. The inquest was continued by adjournment on Thursday, when a verdict of" Manslaughter against the husband" was returned.—Dover Chronicle.

RAILWAY TRAVELLING.—Mr. Robert Weale, •an Assistant Poor-law Commissioner, states incidentally, in one of the Appendices to the Report of the Select Committee on Railways, that, from the Ist of January, 1839, to the Ist of January, - 1842, he had travelled" over nearly 9,0Q0 milef3 of. railway, " without meeting with a single accident," and that on no occasion had he "experienced any other than the most civil and obliging treatment from the officers employed by the different Companies."—.Raiheay Record. FRV. . In this cz...se, which is an action against " The Times" for libel, and a full report of which appeared in our early edition of the last night, the jury were locked up all night, not having agreed upon a verdict. At the sitting of the Court this morning, the jury came into Court, and the foreman addressing the Chief Justice stated there was no probabilily of their agreeing to a verdict. The CHIEF JUSTICE said, in that case he should discharga them, having done all he considered he was bound to do in locking them up all night without food. The jury were then discharged, the effect of which will be that the cause will again haVe to be tried by another jury, if the plaintiff intends to proceed. • MAYOR V. FARQUIIAR.-GRIM. CON.

This box, be longing to the Conntess Guiccioli, to whom the great poet's friendship bequeathed his most precious souvenirs, was yes terday withdrawn from the office of the bankruptcy syndic, and delivered to M. Micard, the Noble Countess's agent. Besides the manuscripts of all the published works, the bex contains some unpublished poetical pieces and critical notes, written by Lord Byron himself upon his own work.—Retnee de Paris. THE LILLIPUTIAN WEST INDIAHAN.—The lilli putian West Indiaman, which arrived in St. Katharine's Dock on Sunday morning last, from Bermuda, laden with arrowroot, is named the Hellespont, Captain Doe. • The crew are six in number; but it is not true that they are all black men. The captain and one of the seamen are not coloured, and, with the exception of one, all the rest are mulattoes. The Hellespont was built at Bermuda in March last, this being her first voyage. She is only 43 tons register, length 52 9.10 . ths feet, breadth 16 4-10ths, and depth 8 2-10ths feet. Her construction does great credit to the West India.builder. Shels sloop-rigged; her cabin is unusually large and com modious for a vessel of her size, it being nearly one-third of her length. The whole of her cargo (arrow-root, the first' entire cargo ever imported into London) was discharged on Thursday; and notwithstanding she encountered very tem pestuous weather during her voyage across the Atlantic, not the slightest d amage was d one t o e ith er vessel or cargo.
