GRAHAM, the Committee on the Justices' Clerks and Clerks of the Peace Bill was postponed to this day week. LUNATIC BILLS. Lord ASHLEY then rose to move for leave to bring in two Bills for the regulation of the ogre and treatment of insane persons in England and Wales. The Noble Lord, who spoke in such a low tone of voice as to be frequently altogether in audible, was understood to say that he felt it necessary to preface his moires by a few preliminary observations. He proposed to repeal all the existing Acts, and to substitute for them other measures, containing those alterations and amend ments which time had rendered necessary. In order to prevent misconception, he would at once distinctly state that his measure related to England and Wales, and not to either Scotland or Ireland. He should be glad if they did--(" Hear, hear," from Mr. Fox Nlaule)—for he was sure that there was not one civilised spot in Europe in which lunatic paupers were in so degraded a condition as in Scotland. He proposed dividing the lunatic asylums of this country into classes. Under the old act of Geo. HI., no power was given of discharging officers or patients who might have become sane, and no return was kept of the state of the asylums. Great amendments had been made in that Act. Since last year the opinion which he had expressed that great abuses prevailed in those asylums, had been confirmed by experience. No doubt, great abuses did prevail, and would prevail, in such institutions ; arid, although they could not wholly remove those evils, they might go much further than they had hitherto gone. Io the first place, he should propose the establishment of a per manent Commission, by which they would secure the entire and exclusive services of persons conversant with the condi tion of lunatics. By appointing such a commission they would do a great deal more for the proper management of those asylums than any other steps which they could take. He proposed to place lunatic hospitals under the same r•gulations as county asylums, with provisions for the proper security of pauper lunatics. They would likewise take powers for the commissioners to authorise the admission of friends of lunatics into lunatic asy lums. They should likewise enforce true returns of all single patients ; and a private Committee would be appointed to visit the houses in which single patients were confined; and he might just remark that this precision wAs quite in conformity with the French law. They would li iso take the power, which did not exist at present, but which experience had proved to be necessary, namely, a power enabling the Lord Chancellor to protect the property of lunatics, against whom commissions might be issued. These were the provisions and amend ments contained in the Metropolitan Act. The second Bill which he should have the honour to propose to the House was founded upon the report of last year, and re lated to the treatment of county lunatics ; and he thought that he would not have much difficulty in persuading tho House to pass the Bill. He would not repeat at length the evidence which he had read last year. Rut he would touch generally upon some of the leading points. There were forty counties in England, and there were but sixteen county asylu.iis, and of these several were in a most discreditable condition. In the sixteen asylum there was one which had eight hundred patients. One had six hundred lunatics, another had five hundred, and several had more than three hundred. It was found, also, that most of the patients were incurable, and that a preference was given always to recent cases. In consequence of the deficiency of county asylums, lunatics were placed in the union workhouses. In Redruth workhouse there were forty lunatics. In Birming ham there were seventy-one, and in the workhouses of England avid Wales there was a total of 1,339 lunatics, who were under no sort of care whatever.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Let them now take the condition of the pauper lunatics in the borough of Dartmouth, and they were not in any degree better circumstanced than the cases he had already referred to. It had been proved that the magistrate I had not the n visited the asylum there for above a year. n 1 co dition of that asylum was again reported, and the state of the paupers in that year was as bad as in former times. Again, within the last six years, their condition had been made known, and it was found so wretched that a commuaication had to be made by the board to the magistrates of the county. Many lunatic asylums, he was happy to say, exhibited an honourable exception, but others were altogether intolerable, and how co u ld i t b e o th erw i s e when paupers were taken in, and z but an inadequate pittance paid for their support.— Hear, hear.) If such were the case, it was but a nmecoresary co nsequence t h a t th e y s h ou ld not be allowed than a mere a sub th sistence. He would now refer to the borough of Ty e u and read t from the reportiedo the House an extract there. The relative or t? the condition of the paupers • ar . jo to . ble e d then referred to the case of in roof of the dreadful state of fllt and Jones, in of the lunatics there. With respect to the ament: en,t d he proposed to introduce he would briefly refer to thewould propose to convert the Aet from a voluntary into a eompuleory one, and that every Bounty where no asylum, rescnt existed should be obliged to provide one. fie would ') assim i l ate rc the practice to the system which existed in France wi th r t iitothese unfortunate creatures. In that country there was no :t a il di s tr ict which had not its asylum. Coanties where an asylum at p T r: e ent en ex er is a t l ed should ru t les for euitelvith those where there was none. the regulation of the asylum should he submitted g the Secretary of State for his approval ; and all lunatic o s living in the house, should be periodically visited. The The Noble Lord then referred to the regulations which related to the pauper lunatics, and proceeded to carament on the other provisions of his Bill. The Noble Lord proceeded to cite a number of returns, to show that the existing asylums were wholly insufficient to ac commodate the pa ti en ts of the country, and the consequence was, he said, that :many hundreds of lunatics became been incurable, who would_ they been properly trea ted in .`he first instance. He also easily recovered had quoted the opinion of Dr. Winslow, to show that in nine cases out of ten lunatics were easily' recovered, if th , ree they were subjected to p ro p er treatment months after the appearance of the disore; i r. He knew this was an exceeding l y dr y and uninteresting sub ject, but he would not detain the House very long with them — he would merely give a few detaits. The Asylum at Hanwell bed coat 106,000/., or at the rate of 160/. per head, for every patient it contained. The Surre y Asylum cost 86,000 L, or, at a cost per head equally large, and so on with the others. Now, it was his opinion, and that of his colleagues, that they could substantiate the case he would lay before the House upon this question. His opinion was that an asylum that would cost at the rate of 80/. per head would be sufficient for the very best asylum that the country could require, including every comfort and convenience for the patients. In fact there had been a great error committed in the construction of these asylums. He admitted that there should be a distinction made between the treatment of chronic and re cent cases. The former required good clothing, a great deal of air and exercise, and, above all, continued occupation in the open air; but they did not require the same food and me dical care that recent cases did. Now, the proportion of changes that he would propose were these :—There were 12,500 pauper lunatics in England and Wales, requiring care and maintenance at the public expense ; deduct from that 10 per cent. for incurable cases, 6 per cent. for chronic cases, and the remainder, or 40 per cent., would be what he would call recent cases. The gross expense to the country for the asylums for recent cases would then be 80,0001. ; that was to say, for the chronic cases 50/. per head, or a total of 16,0001. The violent or epileptic cases he would class amongst the recent cases. The accommodation of 300 of those would cost 30,330/, and it would be proposed to levy this sum at the rate of 600/. per annum off the county as a county rate. This rate of charge was much lower than the present rate, for the eleven county asylums now in this country cost at the rate of 1701. per bead. The expense entailed on the country under the present sys tem was very great, and, calculating the average lives of lu natics at ten years, which was considerably below the average, they cost 9601. each. By the plan which he proposed they would save in the county of Middlesex—and that was a fair average—they would save an annual expense of 30,0001. Under one course of treatment the cures were 70 per cent., with 30 incurable. Under another—that is, in the workhouses-- the cures were no more than 6 per cent, with 94 incurable cases. The objects of these Bills was to provide for proper treatment for pauper lunatics. From the time of the Reformation to their own day the contrary course had been pursued with re gard to them, and whipping, chains, and dungeons were the means taken to reclaim them. The honour of a different state of things certainly belonged to the Commissioners, and it was to them they were indebted for a better arrangement of their lunatic asylums. But for the hu mane discovery whereby the revolting treatment originally adopted had been discontinued, they were mainly, if not exclu sively, indebted to the ennobling researches of Pinelle. That eminent physician had considered the subject in its broadest view—he contemplated the relief of forty sufferers, and began by unchaining twelve. He first liberated an English officer, who had been confined for fourteen years, and whose existence had been almost forgotten. He tended this wretched inmate. whose keepers were afraid even to approach him. One he had killed a short time previously. Yet Pinelle proposed to un chain him, on the condition that he would permit himself to be restrained, by a strait waistcoat. The man scarce comprehended, could not believe the terms, but his limbs, after being fettered fourteen years, were li berated, and he obeyed the mandate mechanically. Sub sequently another inmate was freed, and in both cases with eqpal success—( Hear, hear)—and eventually fifty-three were similarly treated. That was a manly act--( Hear, hear) —and would to God that all the rivalry between this and the French nation was in emulating such noble deeds, in seeking the wel fare of mankind, and, by mutual harmony, keeping the world in peace !—(Hear, hear.) For the introduction of that humane principle into England they were chiefly indebted to the Society of Friends and the family of the Dukes. Samuel Duke, the brother of the eminent William Duke, was still alive, and prosecuting his humane inquiries for the benefit of mankind. He had gained the approbation of all the eminent physicians in this country and in America. The treatment which he re commended was one of kindness. There was, in his opinion, the greatest propensity on the part of the subordinate officers to resort to coercive treatment. It afforded a vent for the gratifi cation of their pride, ignorance, and all the lowest passions. It was absolutely necessary, therefore, that a system based upon a more mild and rational treatment should be introduced. It was their duty and their interest, too, to deliberate well on the means which were best calculated to be applied to the treat ment of insanity. There they were to-day sitting in delibera tion, in the full possession of their senses, and to-morrow they might be the victims of this awful calamity. It was well known what slight causes often led to the de thronement of reason. Fever, reverse of fortune, domestic calamity, and other causes of far less importance, often caused this misfortune. The most exalted talents and the noblest minds were frequently prostrated in a moment, and nothing remained but the sad and silent reflection how frail was the tenure by which man held one of the greatest blessings which he enjoyed. It was in this spirit, therefore, that he called upon the House to accept his propositions. The Noble Lord con cluded by moving for leave to bring in his Bill, and sat down loudly cheered. Messengers from the Lords brought up the Calico Print works Bill, and the Railway Clauses Consolidated Bill. The debate was then proceeded with. Sir J. GRAHAM said he rose with sincere satisfaction to second the motion of his Noble Friend.--( Hear, and cheers.) The House would remember the speech which his Noble Friend made on this subject towards the close of last session. That speech made upon him ( Sir James Graham), in common with every Member who had heard it, the deepest impression. He (Sir James Graham) gave the House and his Noble Friend on that occasion an as surance on the part of the Government that it was impossible any longer to neglect this subject. So important, so touch ing, and connected with the feelings—some of the most pain ful feelings, at the same time most humane feelings of our common nature. He wished he could have devoted more time to this subject, but he had had the satisfaction of receiv ing the most cordial assistance of his Noble Friend. With reference to Ireland, his Right Hon. Friend the Secretary for Ireland had already introduced a Bill upon this subject. He had the satisfaction of stating that the measure whieh his Noble Friend now sought to introduce had been most carefully considered by her Majesty's Govern ment. It had come under the consideration of the Lord Chancellor. A very large portion of this matter was con nected with the case of pauper lunatics in England and Wales. That portion of the subject had been considered by the Poor law Commissioners in connexion with himself, and the pro visions now sought to be introduced with reference to pauper lunatics met with their entire concurrence. With reference to the subject generally, he also in common with his colleagues had considered this Bill. He did not say that there were not some of the details which in discussion might be altered with advantage ; but, generally speaking, the Government gave this ' measure their most cordial support. He was deeply indebted to his Noble Friend for the assistance which he had received from him. He was more happy, indeed, to act in con cert with the Noble Lord than to lead the way. It would be impertinent in him, after the able and impressive speech which had been delivered by the Noble Lord on the subject, to waste the time of the House by going into details which could be more advantageously discussed in the progress of the Bill through the House. At the same time, there were some important matters to which he wished to allude—he meant constant and official visitation by responsible officers. ,He said last year, and he wcs now of the same opinion, that pri vate asylums—where there was frequently only one patient— might to be placed under supervision, and even frequent visita tion.—( Hear, hear.) Facts had come to his knowledge, and subsequent inquiry had led him to come to the conclusion that such a step was necessary. Then, again, he was quite satis fied that some provision must be made for establishments for patients—be would not say incurable—but of those whose in sanity bad assumed an aggravated form, as distinguished from those whose insanity was but of recent occurrence. It was impossible to resist the evidence brought forward by the Noble Lord as to the way in which the charitable in stitutions of this country were crowded by incurable patients. Then with reference to the saving of expense. He thought that ample provision should be made, where it was possible, to secure the placing of those whose case was hopeless under as little restraint as possible.—( Hear, hear.) He knew of no better object to which the rich could devote their superfluities than this.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord had said that the treatment of the disease had been slow ; but, though slow, it had been progressive. He complimented the Hon. Baronet the Member for Denbighshire (Sir W. W. Wynn), for his labours in connexion with the subject before the House. He (Sir J. Graham) certainly thought that the time had arrived when what had been so long submissive should now be com pulsory, and that means should be taken by law to provide for the proper maintenance of lunatics. He had, therefore, the greatest pleasure in seconding, on the part of the Government, the measure brought forward by the Noble Lord. Lord CLEMENTS said he had listened with great pleasure to the speech of the Noble Lord by whom the measure had been introduced. He would wish to know from the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secretary of State what was the Bill to be introduced for Ireland. It was restrictive and insufficient, and the whole matter had been left entirely in the hands of Sir Thomas Fremantle. He had conversed with the Chancellor of Ireland, whom he was bound to say had exerted himself in a most praiseworthy manner in behalf of the unfortunate lunatics in that country. The exertions of that Nobleman had been attended with the most successful results, and great praise was due to him, but he should wish that a definite measure should be brought forward for the indigent lunatics of Ireland. Ac cording to the present plan, it was customary to confine pauper lunatics in the common gaol, and this plan levied a great extra expenditure on the country. He wished to know what was the definite plan intended for Ireland, for his own part, he did not place much confidence in the judgment of the Vice- Regent ; .as far as the measure related to England, it should have his support. Mr. FOX MAULE thought that the time was fully arrived for the passing of such a measure as the present. He had listened with great attention to the speech of the Noble Lord, it had established for him the character of a philanthropist, not on mere party grounds, but on a broad and liberal basis. He would however suggest that inquiries should be made into the state of management of lunatic asy lums generally. Scotland required considerable supervision in the management of its lunatic asylums, and he would un hesitatingly say that there was not a single lunatic asylum in Scotland, which would be compelled to receive a single pauper, as the institutions were all managed on the voluntary principle, and he would suggest to the Government that Commissioners should be appointed to investigate and report upon the whole matter as it was conducted in Scotland, so that the Govern ment might at once come to a conclusion, whatever might be the objection on the score of expense. He considered it as fair and only an act of justice that Scotland as well as England should participate in the benefits to result from such an inquiry. The LORD ADVOCATE expressed his dissatisfaction at the present method of treating lunatics in Scotland. He had for some time past been endeavouring to obtain some informa tion of the state of lunatics there ; and only on that morning he had met with two gentlemen, who had proposed to him ' the establishment of a lunatic asylum on broad and unre stricted principles, but before he moved for any inquiry in the matter, he would wait the result of the measure of the Noble Lord as far as it would affect Scotland. Sir G. STRICKLAND animadverted on the insufficient protection afforded to pauper lunatics in Yorkshire, with the exception of the West Riding. He was convinced it was not in the power of any single individual to make an effectual movement in the matter. It must commence with the House of Commons, and the present measure would be found to be the most beneficial measure that could be proposed. Mr. BROTHERTON spoke as to the crowded state of some lunatic asylums, and proposed that in no case should the patients be allowed to exceed three hundred. He approved generally of the plan of the Noble Lord, but would wish that persons who were not exactly in a pauperised condition, such as mechanics, artisans, and others, should also have some institution to take refuge in, so that their friends, who were for the most part only capable of supporting themselves, should not be burdened with them. After a few words from Mr. HENLEY and Mr. WYNN, The question was put from the chair that the Bill be brought in, which was carried. COMMI (-TEE OF PRIVILEGES. Mr. WYNN regretted to say, that in consequence of the large number of papers which the Committee of Privileges had been obliged to collect, and the searches they had found it necessary to make, they would not be able to lay before the House any report in sufficient time for it to be taken inte con sideration, as it had been intended, on Monday next. It would lead him into too long a detail if he were to state all the difficulties which the Committee had met with. What he had to propose was, that the debate, which now stood adjourned to Monday next, should be further adjourned to Monday week. The order of the day was then discharged, and the debate SLAVE -TRADE. _ a djourned to next .111 THonEda Mr. FORSTER gave notice that, on Tuesday next, he would ask the Right lion: Baronet at the head of her Majesty's Government whether there were any documents in the posses sjon of tho Government confirmatory of a participation, directly TIIE S VN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 7, 1845 or indirectly, by any British subject in the slave-trade, as alleged in Mr. Tyler's message to Congress on the 19th Feb., 1845, and, if so, whether there was any objection on the part of her Majesty's Government to produce copies of such docu ments before the House. It was also his intention, on the same occasion, to ask the Right Hon. Baronet whether the Govern ment could furnish any information as to the numbers, names, and descriptions of the vessels which, in ➢lr. Tyler's message, were alleged to have received cargoes on board, being the property of British capitalists, for the purposes of carrying on the slave-trade (giving the names of the parties, if it should be thought proper), either in the United Kingdom or elsewhere. The House then adjourned at Seven o'slock. North 'Woolwich Railway,—Report to be considered, Tues day, June 10. Newcastle and Berwick Railway—Third reading, Monday, June 9.

The Queen gave a Ball Costume last evening at Bucking ham Palace, at which all the guests appeared in the costume of the period between 1740 and 1750. The company numbered about twelve hundred, and included the Diplomatic Corps and the principal foreigners of distinction at present in the metro polis, all of whom adopted the foreign costumes of that date, appearing in the uniforms of their respective nations. The Nobility and Gentry present, in numerous cases, adopted the costumes of members of their families living at that period, the dresses being copied from family portraits with the greatest exactness. This magnificent fete has brought the costume of the period so much under public notice as to render a precise description of it unnecessary. Every possi ble variety of colour, texture, and material, and the greatest magnificence of embroidery and jewelled decora tion consistent with propriety were brought to bear on this quaint and antiquated costume, and the result was a harmony , and unity of effect perfectly surprising. Most of the gentle men appeared in velvet coats, crimson, black, or blue, most richly embroidered with gold or silver, or trimmed with gold lace. Powdered wigs were universal, and the style of coiffure was so complete as to render recognition, except among inti mate friends, difficult. Gentlemen holding military commis sions in her Majesty's service appeared, as nearly as possible, in the corresponding uniforms of their respective services at the period selected for the fete. Thus the Duke of Wellington appeared in the uniform of the Duke of Cumberland of that day, the Earl of Cardigan in the uniform of the llth Dragoons at the battle of Culloden, and the Marquis of Londonderry in the dress of a cavalry officer of the time. Lord Forester ap peared in the dress of a Captain of the Hon. Corps of Gentle men Pensioners ; the Duke of Rutland was dressed in the full costume of a Knight of the Garter, a century back. The Chancellor of the Exchequer in the dress of his predecessor in office of the period. Mr. Curzon appeared in a very curious Venetian costume. The Duke of Beaufort, the Earl of Wil ton, Earl Fitahardinge, Lord Shelburne, Mr. N. Vaughan, Lord Morpeth, Lord Stanley, and Viscount Alford, were dis tinguished by the richness of their costumes. The Earl of Liverpool, the Earl Delawarr, and Lord Ernest Bruce, the great officers of the Household, appeared in the dress of their respective offices, and were distinguished by the extraordinary magnificence of their apparel. Many Scottish gentlemen wore the Highland costume of the time, which, though retaining all its peculiarity, was sufficiently identi fied with the age, in the coat and high heeled shoes, as to harmonise completely with the rest. Among the most beautiful Scottish dresses were those of the Marquis of Breadalbane, the Master of Strathallan, and Captain A. Gordon Cumming. The officers, who wore infantry dresses, displayed the long white gaiters which remained in vogue even up to the reign of George the Fourth. The cavalry all wore high military boots, and some of them the crimson silk sword belt, fringed with gold, which gave them very much the ap pearance of a modern Grand Cross of the Bath. The cavalry were also distinguished by the three-cornered hat, while the infantry displayed the old-fashioned high-peaked grena dier cap. The dresses of the ladies did not display an equal variety with those of the gentlemen—the style of all was the same, the only difference being in the costliness of the material, the taste in the choice of colours, and the display of jewels in decoration. A few appeared in little velvet hats, with one or two feathers; but they were exceptions. The general head-dress was the hair powdered, a ridge of curls round the forehead and face, and the hair falling back with curls on the shoulders, or else wigs which came still closer to the fashion of the day. Some of the ladies made a difference in the fashion of wearing their trains. Instead of starting from the waist, it fell at once from the shoulders, not being confined at all at the waist, but descending at once to the bottom of the skirt. The material of which these were composed, were generally of old brocaded silks and satins, many of them embroidered in gold and silver, or worked in needlework. The trains were looped up with golden clasps, bunches of flowers, and bouquets of brilliants and precious stones, displaying dresses of old point Valenciennes or guipure lace, not too long to conceal the high heeled, sharp-pointed, and diamond-ornamented white satin shoe. The Ladies wore hoops, which very much extended the dress on each side with adding to the rotundity of the figure. The effect of powder rendered the complexions of the young ladies much more brilliant, and added not a little to the effect of this magnificent fete. Among the dresses distinguished for their splendour were those of the Duchess of Sutherland, the Marchioness of Ailesbury, the Marchioness of Douro, and Miss Burdett Coutts. The Pages of Honour were dressed in the complete costume of the period in miniature, and having a large white satin bow or shoulder knot on the right shoulder. The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by their illus trious guests, the Duke and Duchess of Nemours, by the mem bers of the Royal Family, and attended by the Ladies in Waiting, and, as usual, the Officers of State, left the drawing room at half-past ten o'clock, and passed through the saloon to the ball-room, where they received the company. Her Majesty and the Royal Family having taken their usual stations at their platform, the dancing commenced with a Polonaise, danced by the Queen and Prince Albert, the Duke and Duchess de Nemours, followed by their distinguished guests. The dance extended through all the State apartments, all the bands striking up at the same time. After this dance the as sembled company passed slowly before the Queen. Her Majesty then left the Ball-room and proceeded to the Throne-room. The first minuet was then formed, consist ing of— The Queen Prince George Duchess de Nemours Prince Albert Lady Douro Prince Edward Lady Mount Edgiscumbe Prince Leiningen Duchess of Roxburgh Duke of Beaufort Duchess of Buccleuch Lord Leveson Lady Waterford Lord Exeter Lady Sydney Lord Douro After this minuet followed a quadrille. The company, who had arrived in the interim, then passed before the Queen. The second minuet was then danced by The Queen Prince Albert Lady Ailesbury Prince George Lady Dalmeny Prince Edward Duchess of Buccleuch Lord Exeter Lady Seymour Lord Clanricarde Lady Blandford Lord Granby Lady Canning Lord Douglas Lady Villiers Lord Abercorn. At the conclusion of this dance, the Royal Party returned to the Ball-room. The Countess of Jersey's minuet was then formed, and danced. This was followed by the Marchioness of Breadalbane's Strathspey. The Countess of Chesterfield's minuet was the last dance before supper. At twelve o'clock, the Queen and the Illustrious Guests passed to supper, which was served as usual in the Great Dining Room, in a style of Royal splendour.

FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELI3, JUNE 3.—The average price of Wheat in the week enclitic , on Saturday, the 31st of May, was 20.31 f., and that of Rye 14.791 Both Wheat and Rye are free from duty on importation, but may be exported at a duty of 25 centimes per 1,000 killogrammes. . . We receive from several towns of Flanders the intelli gence that the officers of the French Custom-houses have suddenly made a change in classing our linens for levying the duties on the frontiers, which may very materially affect the trade. They consider as unbleached linen only such as is absolutely brown ; if it has any whiteness it is at once classificed as white. We know that a measure of this kind has beenfor some time apprehended; it has attracted the attention of our Government, and negotiations on the subject aro now pending.

The very small amount of the remittances on account of the Mexican dividends seems to be occasioned by the circumstance that Santa Anna, when making his celebrated seizure,hook all the duties by anticipation to the 30th inst. The duties being paid by the merchants in bills drawn at 90, 120, and 190 days, this step was quite possible, Santa Anna having only to insist on imme diate payment of this paper. For this reason the remittances are expected to continue small until after the 30th of dune. On the other hand, it is believed that the money which will have to be handed over by Messrs. Lizardi to Messrs. Schneider, in pursuance of the order just received in London, will amount to a very con siderable sum, perhaps 79,0001. sterling. By the same order the whole of the documents belonging to the republic will be handed over by the present agents to Messrs. Schneider. The following letter officially confirms the facts mentioned yes terday with respect to Alnico. " Mexico, April 211, 1835. " Sir,—We beg to hand you herewith a duplicate of our letter of the 31st ult., together with a copy of one which we addressed to you (in triplicate) on the sth inst., communicating the resolu tion which the Mexican Government had come to, of removing its agency in London from Messrs. Lizard' and Co. to Messrs. John Schneider and Co., the official documents relative to which we send forward by this opportunity. " With much satisfaction we have now to announce that the Mexican Government has been induced to assign to the bond holders, to commence from the Ist proximo, 10 per cent. of the whole of the duties collected in the Custom-houses of Vera Crua and Tampico, until such time as the sum of about 340,000 dollars, abstracted from their funds at the commencemeat of the late revolu tion, shall be refunded, and we enclose a copy of the decree to this effect, dated the 17th inst. " A measure is now before the Senate, having already passed the Chamber of Deputies, the object of which is to empower the Exe cutive to arrange the public debt of the nation, and place it on a sound and just basis. Should we be able to procure a copy of this project before the departure of the packet, we shall send it enclosed for your information. " We remain, &C., " MANNINO AND MACKINTOSH. " To 0. IL Robinson, Esq., Chairman of the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders." As far as can be learned of the plans which Messrs. Schneider intend to adopt in their management of the Mexican debt, they seem of a kind to give the greatest satisfaction to the creditors. Their principle, it is said, will be to court publicity as much as possible, and to keep no secrets from parties who legitimately de. sire information. After the arrival of each remittance, they will, it is believed, post up the amount where it may be seen by any one entering their office, the former notices not to be removed upon the arrival of a fresh remittance, but to stand as a lasting record of all the sums that come into their sands. A plan like this would prevent every possibility of complaint. LADVERTISEMENT.] INTERESTING TO LADIES. To Messrs. Rowland and Son, 20, Ilatton-garden, London. Percy-place, Landport, Portsmouth, April 4, . 844. Gentlemen,—l think it but an act of jnstice to inform you of the benefit I have derived from the use of your admirable Macassar Oil. About six months ago I found my hair getting daily more weak and thin, and much discoloured, from a practice I had adopted of wetting it continually ; fearing that I should lose it entirely, and hearing' of the efficacy of your Macassar Oil, I have for some time past constantly used it, and the result is, that my hair is now perfectly restored and much improved in appearance and colour, having become thick, dark, and glossy ; it also curls freely without the use of paper, which it never did before. To all my friends I have warmly recommended your Macassar Oil as an eicellent restorative and preservutive for the hair. As I have an objection to see my name in print, I beg you will not publish it; but you are at liberty to show this letter, or make any other use you please of it, and refer applicants to me, if necessary, in proof of the efficacy of your Ma cassar Oil.—Your obedient servant, Rowland's Macassar Oil preserves and reproduces the Hair ; prevents it from falling off or turning Grey ; Changes Grey Hair to its Original Colour ; frees it from Scurf and Dandriff, and makes it beautifully soft and curly. Ask for " Rowland's Macassar Oil." All others are fraudulent counterfeits. H IGH NV 4-Y ROBBERY. On Sunday night last, between tenandeleven o'clock, a daring highway robbery was committed on th e Wansford mile from Stamf or d a n d th e at the end of Burghley Park. It d ro r a ir d t , wa b i e l t e w a e d e i n n g t t h o e B t a o r l - 1 i c a k r , a seems that Mr. William W r ight Waterfield, butcher, on his way home to Stamford, perceived at the end of the drift a pot ter s camp, and a short distance from it he observed three sus picious-looking men standing under the trees against the park wall : after passing them, he was alarmed by finding they were following him at a quick pace ; but shortly meeting a person on the road, his fears were allayed, an d h e con ti nue d his journey. In a short time, however, o n l oo ki ng b ac k, h e . to his surprise saw the men coming in a hurried manner after him. He quickene d his pace, but was soon joined by one of the men, who walk ed by his side for a few yards, and on6nNeir.nWighat, he was answered in the affirmative, and on a terfield's inquiring whether h e th oug h t i t wou ld b e a sudden the man stepped in front of him, and instantly knocked him down. The two other men then ca me u p an d f e ll upon him, and after drawing him off the road, they proceeded to rifle his pockets of their contents, which consisted of s s . 6d. i n money, a memorandum - book , a silk handkerchief, and a pen knife. Mr. Waterfield endeavoured to call out for assistance, but was quickly preven ted by one of the men's se i z i ng hi s throat, and nearly choking him. After the robbery, he got up and proceeded to Stamford, where he immediately gave information to Mr. Reed, the chief-constable, and five active police officers were dispatched in pursuit of the offenders. They soon succeeded in apprehending two men and a boy in the camp, and two of them Mr. Waterfield identified as par ties who had committed the outrage upon him. They gave their names James Cunningham, of Durham, potter, and George Martin Keatley, of York, and John Gelder, of Leeds, his assistants. On Monday morning they underwent a long examination before W. L. Hopkinson, Esq., AI.D., at the Anchor Inn, St. Martin's, and were committed to Northamp ton for trial at the ensuing assises for that county. They were safely lodged in the gaol there, by Air. Reed, the same even ing between eight and nine o'clock, about twenty-eight hours after the commission of the robbery. The sum of 1451. 10s., in gold and silver coin, was found in their camp, of their acqui sition of which they have hitherto given a very unsatisfactory account. Two buttons which were forced from Mr. Water field's waistcoat were found on the spot where he was assailed by the party.— S taniferd Meroury. „ THE win.TE SLAVE; OR, THE RUSSIAN PEASANT GIRL. — By the Author of ” Revelations of Russia," 3 vols. post Bvo.—We are requested to state that the above work is published this day by Mr. Colburn, of Great Marlborough -street, and may be had at all the libraries.
