ESSEX.—ON THE BORDERS OF SUFFOLK. THE AUBERIES," an IMPORTANT FREEHOLD MAN SION and ESTATE, comprising about 1,400 Acres, situate within a mile of the navigable river Stour, which divides the counties, and two miles only from the excellent market town of Sudbury. The Kelvedon Station on the Eastern Counties Rail•• way brings the Estate within three hours and a half of the metropolis. IVTR. W. IV. SIMPSON has received directions B._ from Colonel Merrick to offer for SALE by AUCTION, at the Mart, on WEDNESDAY, the 25th September, at Twelve o'clock. That valuable and much-admired FREEHOLD ESTATE called " THE AUBERIES," with its Modern Mansion of hand some elevation, seated in a Park of 120 acres of delightfully varied and undulating surface, studded with majestic timber, and com manding most extensive and interesting views of the surrounding country. It. is environed by pleasure-grounds and plantations of luxuriant growth, in which is an ornamental sheet of water, bridge, and bath-house. The mansion, which opens to a beautiful lawn, flower-garden, and terrace-walk, contains an the principal floor handsome reception and conservatory, en suite, 150 feet in length, and which communicate with an elegant drawing-room. The sleeping apartments and domestic accommodation are of a most perfect description, and the whole admirably adapted for the resi. dence of a family of distinction. The stabling, coach .houses, and out• offices, are of a commensurate extent. The principal lodge. entrance to the park is on the high London road. The kitchen gardens, which are of considerable extent, are walled, and planted with the choicest fruit trees, grapery, and gardener's cottage. The demesne portion of the estate is in hand, and, including the park, consists of about 650 acres. The remainder of the property contains about 750 acres, and is let in four farms to tenants of the first class. The farm-houses, agricultural buildings, &c., upon the entire estate are adapted to the occupations; and the lands, which are highly cultivated, are of deep staple, and, with few exceptions, are of a convertible and productive description. The estate is well stocked with game in all its varieties, and ;,he country is hunted by the foxhounds of Richard Marriott, Esq. Descriptive particulars of the estate are in preparation. Mr. Simpson, however, in the meantime, invites an immediate inspection of the mansion and lands, which may be viewed by cards, on appli cation to Messrs.

THE BURNS FESTIVAL. The following letters of apology from some of th( most distinguished writers in England, invited to the banquet, will be read with interest. It is a singular feature in these documents, that though the writer> vary in a most remarkable manner in their mode of expressing admiration for Burns, they all, with one exception, concur in regarding him as one of the brightest ornaments of his country. That exception is Thomas Moore. We are indebted to the Ayr Ob server for the letters. They are all addressed to Messrs. Bone and Gray, the Honorary Secretaries: — From Sir Edward I3ulwer Lytton, Author of " Za noni," "The Lady of Lyons," &c. Great Malvern, July 6, 1844. Gentlemen,—l am truly sensible of the honour you confer upon me, by your invitation to attend the festival in honour of Burns ; and it is with great and unfeigned regret that I must decline the ple;:sure el enjoying Scottish hospitality, and uniting with some of the most illustrious of living Scotchmen, in homage to one whose manly heart, and healthful genius, have never, even in Scotland, been surpassed. But my arrangements, depending on the uncertain state of my health, are such as to preclude all hope of being able to accept the offer, which I acknowledge as a distinction.—l have the honour to be, Gentlemen, you very obedient servant, EDW. BULWER LYTTON. From Sergeant Talfourd, author of the Tragedies of lon, Glencoe, &c. London, 6th July, 1844. Gentlemen,—lt is with great regret that I am obliged to confess the absolute impossibility of m 3 availing myself of your very flattering invitation to the meeting to be holden in honour of your great Scottish poet, and in sympathy with his sons. The scene, the occasion, and the presidency of the noble hearted poet and critic, Professor Wilson, would render a visit to the romantic land, where I have spent the happiest of my mature holidays, most de:ightful to me. But your festivities will be holden in the midst of my laborious circuit, which will begin next Wed• nesday, and last till towards the close of August, and from which I cannot be absent without serious injury to my own professional prospects, and a violation of my duties, which would entail great inconvenience, and perhaps loss, on my clients. Under these circum stances, I can only thank you, as I do most heartily, for thinking me worthy of a presence " at your great bidding;" and assure you that I shall drink a full bumper, on your day, to the memory of your genial poet, and another, as full, to the happiness of his sons. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obliged and faithful servant, T. N. TALFOURD. From Thomas Carlyle, Author of "The History of the French Revolution," &c. Chelsea, London, July 6, 1844. Gentlemen,—l have received your obliging invita tion to the Burns Festival, and beg to express myself very sensible of the honour you do to me. It would have given me real pleasure to assist in any public testimony as rational and earnest as our times permit, of the reverence entertained by Scotland towards this the most gifted of all her sons, for some generations past ; one whom she has good cause to look upon with gratitude—with pride ; and, alas also with various other feelings, wherein sorrow, self reproach, and determination to treat her next gifted one a little more wisely, should not be wanting ! Unluckily, however, the state of my engagements threatens to detain me here through August; and I shall only be able to contribute to your meeting my sympathies, thanks, and good wishes. With many acknowledgments, I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant, T. CARLYLE. From William Wordsworth, Poet Laureate. Rydal Mount, July 7, 1844. Gentlemen,—lt would have been a great pleasure to me had circumstances allowed of my attendance at ' the festival to be held on the Banks of 1)oon, in honour of the genius of the poet Burns ; but, as it will be in onvenient to me to leave home at thel time specified, I trust that the friends assembled to wel come his sons will believe that I am in full sympathy with the most ardent of their father's admirers ; and let me assure them that, though absent in person, my thoughts and good wishes will be with them upon the 6th of August.—l have the honour ti be, Gentle men, your obedient servant, WM. WORDSWORTH. From G. P. R. James, author of " The Gipsy," " Richelieu," and other novels. The Oaks, near Walmer, Kent, July 11, 1844. Sir,—Having been moving from place to place for some time, your polite letter of invitation to the Burns Festival was long in reaching me, which must account for my not replying sooner. It would give me infinite pleasure to attend, and I should accept the invitation at once with many thanks, but that, at the present moment, I feel so unwell that I fear I may not be able to fulfil my promise if I do engage to come. My admiration for the genius of Burns, my close connexion with Scotland, and the delight which it would afford me to meet several whoth I esteem and love, will all bring me to Ayr,. if I am able to travel ; but the uncertainty of being able to do so leads me to beg that you will not reserve any accom modation for your most faithful servant, G. P. R. JAMES. From Samuel Warren, author of " Ten Thousand a Year," &c. Northern Circuit, York, July 15, 1844. Gentlemen,—Your letter of the 11th instant was forwarded to me at this place, which it reached only yesterday. I feel a deep sense of the honour which you have conferred upon me by inviting me to be present at so interesting and memorable a festival as that which is fixed for the 6th of August next; but my arrangement for the next six weeks, fixed long beforehand, render it impossible for me to enjoy the gratification which you have so kindly proffered me. Be assured that my heart, however, will be a silent and invisible, but a reverential guest among you; for the genius of Robert Burns has long held absolute sway over my best feelings. I have for very many years been convinced that his taste is the purest, his feelings are the freshest, and his perceptions the quickest, by whom the inimitable songs and poems of Burns, your great poet, are best appreciated. As for myself, in many an hour of severe solitary mental toil and exhaustion, when _ _ " Oppress'd with grief, oppress'd with care, A burthen more than I could bear," the strains of Burns have gushed upon my wearied faculties, they have left me no means of testifying their influence but tears. You may have present many great and gifted men on this occasion, but none that can feel more deep enthusiasm and fondness for the memory of Burns than I do.—l am, Gentlemen, your obliged and faithful servant, SAMUEL WARREN. From Leigh Hunt, Author of " The Story of Rimini," and other Poems. _ . . Kensington, July 18th, 1844. Dear Sirs,—Your letter of the 2nd inst. did not reach me till last Sunday. Mr. Moxon had been daily expecting to see me, otherwise I should have had it sooner ; and my delay in answering it has arisen partly from my very sense of the honour your Committee have done me by their invita tion, and my extreme unwillingness to say that it is out of my power to accept it. But my wife is in such a state of health that I fear at pre sent to leave her for many hours together. Nothing but an obstacle like this should, or could, have de tained me ; and she is heartily sorry for it on my ac count, as well as her own. Pray make the explana tion to such of your friends, besides the Committee, as you think may wish me to have been present; par ticularly, if I may count them as such, to the poet's sons. I shall not fail to drink their health; and his (the immortal man's) on the day of the festival ; and very impatient shall I feel at not being among you. I cannot indeed express my regret at missing so delightful an opportunity of seeing Scotland, and my friends there, and all its classic ground; old ground to me (in books) from Tweed-side to the Dee, and so round by the isles to the Clyde and Doon, not omit ting the localities of Allan Ramsay, every step of which I traced not long ago in a map, with his pas toral by my side; and if I have so much respect for Allan Ramsay, what must I not have for Burns ? I have been one of his greatest admirers from my boyhood, and could, with pleasure, even in these days of steam and swiftness, have walked through merry England into merrier Scotland (for your poetry. d bea he ts ours in impulse and animal spirits) , and pai t mite of my homage at his shrine. Who so fit for a festival as he ?—for all the candour, . the large heartedness, the high rea sonableness , which one i feels in one's veins during the honest flow of wine . I cannot help fancying myself under its influence at this moment —standing midway between your Noble and Learned Presidents , glass In hand , and, with the leave of the chivalry and poetry which they represent, daring to utter my testimony to the honour and glory if one whose books are his veritable self—Nature's own work—a fervid, large-hearted, open-hearted, manly, uiihypocritical, uncastrated edition of a human being—one who, though he could make a heaven for himself out of love and a song, had anxious thoughts for the whole human race ; and was Christian enough, !ike divine Uncle Toby, to wish the very devil him self out of his " den." Begging you to give my warmest thanks to the Committee for their invitation; and to accept them yourselves for the kind manner in which you have conveyed it, I have the honour to be, Dear Sirs, your most obliged and faithful servant, LEIGH HUNT. From the Rev. Henry Hart Mil man, author of "Tle Fall of Jerusalem," &e _ Cloister, Westminster Abbey, July 24, 1844. Gentlemen,—l have had the honour to receive the invitation of the Committee for conducting the Festi val in honour of the poet Burns. If I could have made it consistent with my en .),-agements, I should have been proud in joining any public testimonial in honour of a poet who, besides the exquisite beauty of many of his works, has a fur ther claim on all lovers of true poetry, as having im parted new life and freshness into the dead stock of English verse, and as having contributed so much to awaken us from the monotony into which we had fallen. If Scotland owes much, England owes scarcely less, to Burns. I trust that the reception of the poet's sons, in their native land, will be as gratifying to them as their father's memory deserves.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your faithful servant, H. H. MILMAN. From Alfred Tennyson, Author of "Miscellaneous Poems." 6, Belle Vue-place, Cheltenham, July 27. Gentlemen,—l deeply regret that the nature of my engagements is such as to prevent my being present at the festival given in honour of your great national poet. No one, even among Scotchmen, loves and venerates Robert Burns more than myself, and I am fully sensible of the compliment implied in your in vitation, but it is quite impossible for me to accept it. Though your letter is dated July 2d, I have only this day received it on my return home from a short tour. —I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your very obe lient servant, A. TENNYSON. From Thos. Moore, author of the " Irish Melodies." Slaperton, July 28, 1844. Gentlemen,—Ever since you did me the honour of inviting me to take a part in the highly interesting "estival which you are about to celebrate on the banks of the Doon, I have been flattering myself with the hope that it would be in my power to obey your most welcome summons. But circumstances that have lately arisen, rendering my presence at home necessary at that very time, will, I grieve to say, render it impossible for me to accept your invitation. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your very obliged servant, THOMAS MOORE. In addition to the above, letters were received from Ebenezer Elliott, the Corn-law Rhymer; Charles Knight, the eminent publisher and author • J. G. Lockhart, editor of the Quarterly Review ; Mr. Ma caulay, M.P., author of " Lays of Ancient Rome ;" Captain Marryatt, the popular novelist; Mr. Dilke, editor of the Athencvum • Richard Monkton Milnes, M.P., author of " Miscellaneous Poems ;" Dr. Croly, author of the " Angel of the World ;" Hnry Hallam, author of the " History of Europe during the Middle Ages ;" Mr. Rintoul, editor of the Spectator ; Henry Taylor, author of " Philip Van Artevelde ."

PICTURE OF THE SLAVE TRADE (From a New York Paper.) On the arrival of the United States ship Columbus at this port a few days back, the United States Marshal received dispatches from Mr. Proffit, United States Minister at Rio, and the Consul at that place, , 'ontaining information that Cornelius F. Driscoll, the master of the brig Hope, of this port, had infringed the laws of the United States, in taking on board a cargo of slaves whilst he was in command of that vessel. Four witnesses were sent home in the Columbus, who had been part of the crew of the Elope. They were delivered over to the custody of the Marshal by Captain Cooper, of the Columbus, together with the following letter: — "Consulate of the United States, " Rio Janeiro, April 1, 1844. " TO THE MARSHAL OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE NEW YORK DISTRICT, CITY OF NEW YORK. " Sir,—You are hereby required to receive from Cap • tain Cooper, commanding the United States ship Colum bus Joseph Carroll, David Henderson, James Lewis, and Abraham Post, late of the brig Hope, of New York. " These men are sent home as witnesses on the part of the United States against Cornelius F. Driscoll, late master of said vessel, charged with being engaged in the slave trade. The proper documents and dispatches have been transmitted to the Hon. Secretary of State, and you will, therefore, keep the men in safe custody, until you receive instructions from the proper department at Washington. " It may be well to remark that the witnesses came forward voluntarily, and gave their testimony. " I am, respectfully, Sir, your obedient servant, " GEO. W. SLOCUM, Consul, U.S.A." Mr. Rapalje, Deputy U. S. Marshal, took imme diate measures to arrest Capt. Driscoll, and on Wed nesday night he was taken into custody. This after noon the accused was brought before Mr. Rapalje, United States Commissioner, for examination. Mr. W. M. Price attended as his counsel, and Mr. Barrett on the part of the United States Government. The following is the testimony in the case : Mr. W. M. Price, as counsel for the accused, said that before proceeding he should ask that the District Attorney should elect which witness he should exa mine first, and that the others should retire. Mr. Barrett said he had no objection. He should examine Carroll first. The Learned Gentleman then went on to cite the Act of Congress, 4th sec., 15th May, 1820, and the Act passed 10th May, 1800. He said the affidavit had been prepared with a view to a conviction under that section of the statute which made the offence merely punishable with a fine or im prisonment, but he thought the testimony was strong enough to justify a committal under the other statute. Joseph Carroll examined—l was seaman on board the brig Hope on her voyage to Gibraltar. I signed shipping articles. The crew were four men and two boys. George Henry, David Henderson, John Swan ' and myself. Captain Driscoll was the mas • ter. He is present. The two mates are here now. We were told that we were bound to Gibraltar, from thence to Rio, and to any other ports in South Ame rica. She was under American colours. We sailed on 7th or Bth March, 1843, and arrived the 30th of March. We had a good cargo, which we discharged, and took in sand ballast. We arrived at Rio 4th of June, 1844. We were there two months, and left 4th August. We were at the discharging ground, and we heard we were going to Africa, and we applied to. the Consul. He said he would send for us. We went to Mr. Slocum, and he said the brig was bound to Bahia. A Portuguese, by the name of Don Pedro, sailed with us. Afterwards he took the command of the vessel. He was repre sented as the mate of a vessel then lying in the river Congo. He could not speak English. We sailed on the 4th of August. We did not go to Bahia, but to a place called Victoria. That place is on the coast of Brazil. George H enr y was be hindleft at Rio. We came to anchor at Victoria, off th We the harbour, and Don Pedro went u p to the town. side and received orders to ha ul over to the opposite and discharge the ballast, where I w 2 e o to o o o k s i t n ink a s. l Don arge quantity of Brazilian fire-wood 0 , Pedro was frequently there. Some casks, which we were told contained liquor, came down 250 pipes. They contained wat er. Ca p tain Driscoll said they contained rum. We next took some plank, after wards used for a slave deck, and three beams ; a lar g e box also came, which the captain said contained hats, it was a sheet-iron cooking machine ; two boxes, said to contain soap, but they turntd out to be hand cuffs—another large box, said to be a medicine chest, it contained arms, pistols and cutlasses, with a few medicines. We took from another vessel 76 cases of m uskets and bayonets; also a quantity of jerked beef, farina rice, and beans. After this we took a Portuguese crew. Don Pedro was also on board, and proceeded on the voyage with us. On the 23d of April we sailed from Victoria to the River Congo. Captain Driscoll was in command. We had ten Por tuguese. We got to the River Congo the latter end of November. We were bound to Pointalina, and got ashore one night. Don Pedro went up to the town and brought a negro down withhim. He was called Emanuel. He went with Don Pedro and the captain down into the cabin. After the black man came up, he said to one of the crew, " You are going round to Cabinda." We got under weigh the 3d of December, the day after we arrived there. The next day we commenced dis charging the goods. The dry goods and the muskets were put on board the American brig Porpoise.

FD WARD PRICE and CO. beg respectfully to request that all parties wishing to purchase their COMPO SITE CANDLES will .ask in the shops simply for " Price's Patent Candles." Since these have attracted public attention, many Imita tors have made candles, and called them by the name " Composite," used by Edward Price and Co. ; but the process by which the real Composite Candles arc made, being a patent one ; and E. P. and Co. granting no licenses, none of these imitation candles are at all the same as the real ones. The chief properties of these latter are their binning, without snuffing, more brilliantly than the best wax, and their affording so large an amount of light, that they are cheaper, taking this into account, than the commonest tallow candles, one of them giving the light of three ordinary moulds. They may be had of most of the respectable tallow-chandlers throughout the kingdom, and are supplied to the trade wholesale by Edward Price and Co., Bel mont, Vauxhall ; and by Palmer and Co., Sutton-street, Clerkenwell.

THE ULTIMATUM OF FRANCE, AND THE EMPEROR OF MOROCCO'S REPLY. We find in the Alg'irie the following details rela tive to circumstances which brought about the reply of the Sultan of Morocco to the ultimatum of France : " The Phare arrived off El Araich in the morning of the 25th. The sea was rough, and the captain of the port, who usually boards every vessel that arrives, to demand the motives of her visit, was some time waited for. Seeing that he did not make his appear ance, the captain of the Phare lowered a boat, and the envoy of the Prince de Joinville, accompanied by M. Balaroufa, an Algerine pilot, landed on a rock at the foot of a battery. Some Morocco soldiers came down to ask what the Frenchmen wanted, when a letter was given them for the Pacha, in which M. Warnier informed him that he was the bearer of dispatches for him, but that he should not come into the town until hostages, mentioned in the communication, had been sent on board the steamer. The Pacha immediately sent his first secretary, the Amin of the Marine, and the Kaid of Mechouar, who commanded the garrison. M. Warnier and M. Balaroufa then went down on the beach, in spite of the violence of the surf, but when the hostages were requested to get into the boat, they excused themselves in consequence of the roughness of the sea. M. Warnier insisted, and threatened to return on board. The secretary wrote to the Pacha his master to consult him on the subject of this dif ficulty, but the letter had scarcely been sent off when M. Warnier decided on going himself to the Pa..ha, accompanied by the pilot. The inhabitants formed a line, through which the French envoy passed, and the Pacha received him with marked distinc tion. M. Warnier handed him the ultimatum of France, and commented on it verbally. The Pacha sent off a courier to the Emperor. There was no time to be lost, for the utmost delay granted by the ultimatum would expire on the 2d August. As the Consul-General, in the dispatches delivered by M. Warnier, demanded immediate permission for the embarkation of all the French who were at Tangier, with their property, the Pacha did not hesitate, and, under the dictation of M. Warnier him self, wrote to the Rhalifa at Tangier to allow the French envoy to act on this subject as he might think proper. The Pacha had also given a similar authority, on the previous evening, to the Neapolitan consul, who had come to El Araich in the Hecla. He also expressed his desire to see the unhappy diffe rences existing between the two countries removed. At six o'clock in the evening the Phare again got under weigh, to return to the French squadron. On the 2d of August the ultimatum of France would expire, and on the previous evening the envoys of the Emperor arrived at Tangier, announcing that peace was assured ; but these same envoys hastened to remove everything that was valuable, and, above all, the public treasure. The inhabitants fled from the town, carrying o ff their wives, their child ren, their slaves, and all th e i r r i c h es , i n to the mountains. A report was also cur ren t th a t a price had been put upon the head of the G overnor of Tangier, doubtless on account of his having allowed the consuls and their countrymen to embark ; that the Pacha of La rache had also been compelled to take refuge in the inviolable asylum of the Marabout Bon-Sellam ; and that the Kaid of Rabat, who was too much a friend to peace, had fled at the approach of the Emperor, and that the mountaineers had entered and pillaged that town as soon as the Sultan had left it. The moun taineers had arrived in crowds at the gates of Tangier, demanding admission ostensibly to protect the place, but in reality to pill age it ; they would, how ever, find nothing to take, for the Moors had so well profited by our forbearance, that the place might now be burnt without causing them the slightest regret. The following are the naval forces of the different nations now at anchor off Tangier :—France-3 sail of the line, 1 frigate, 3 brigs, and 9 steamers, making altogether a force of 450 guns; Spain-1 frigate, 1 corvettee, 2 brigs, 2 schooners 1 cutter, and 1 steamer ; England -1 line of - battle ship, 1 frigate, and 1 steamer; Sardinia-1 corvette of 36 guns; and Sweden-1 corvette of 36 guns. Ladies travelling, or temporarily subjected to any 1 deviation of equable temperature, will find in Rowland's Kalydor a renovating and refreshing auxiliary, dispel ling the cloud of langour from the complexion, and immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity of the skin. The distressing and unsightly v.arieties of cutaneous eruptions are also promptly eradicated by the Kalydor. Spots, pimples, freckles, discoloura tions, and sallow ness , yield to its specific qualities, and are succeeded by a smoothness and transparency of the skin, giving rise to sensations of the utmost plea sure and sur p rise. Bei ng universally preferred, its con se q uent g reat dema nd excites the cupidity of unprincip led sho p kee p e rs , who give the title m of anufacu "Genuine" Itre, Kalydor to some compounds of their own of the most deleterious character, con taining mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action endangering health. It is, therefore, imperative on purchasers to „ ton i n g last, another of those malicious re see that the words " Rowlands Kalydor" are on the wrapper. All others are fraudulent counterfeits !1 1 FALSE ALARMS OF FIRE IN SUFFOLK. —On The intelligence was brought into the Tuesday ports, which during the winter season were so preva lent, reached this town, of a fire in the neighbourhood personTh on a pony, at present unknown, t o o f w ß n u b sh y m a erc. and in a short time one of the engines be longing to the Suffolk Fire-office, together with that of the Messrs. Ransoms, were soon on the spot where the fire was supposed to be raging. No symptoms of a confla gration, however, were visible in any direction, and the engines soon afterwards returned by a circuitous route to Ipswich. The road leading to Rushmere was literally crowded with persons on horseback and on foot, and great was the indignation expressed against the dastardly instigator of this scandalous report, who, it is to be hoped, will be soon discovered, and receive the punish ment his conduct $o justly merits. Ipswich Express. ~l~t-~ ~` 2 additional Portuguese seamen were also taken. The captain next paid one off, and wanted me to pay my passage to the Brazils in the brig Porpoise, but 1 re fused to go, to pay my passage. While I was ther e I saw 100 or 150 negroes taken on board, and stowed forward. There were in all 602 negroes taken on board, but we left before they all came, and we took the American flag with us. The captain was also pre paring to leave, and he left in the same boat as I did. The boat was near enough to the brig for me to see the negroes taken on board. The captain said the negroes were King's men to take the cargo up the country. The American flag was flying at the time the negroes were taken on board. The brig was about 200 tons, and would carry 600 negroes. While the Porpoise was there a vessel hove in sight, and being afraid she was'a man-of-war, they landed the negroes, and went on board the Hope, and hoisted the American flag. At this time some of the negroes were on hoard. Captain Driscoll assumed the command, and when, we :found that the strange sail was not a man of-war, the captain ordered us to efface the brig's name from the stern. Mansfield heard what the captain said. Don Pedro then came on board and took the command. After we had defaced the name Captain Driscoll was on board and the negroes were taken in again. He talked Spanish to Don Pedro. I went on board again to get a spy-glass, and I saw the negroes all standing together, neck and heels. There were then 602 men, women, and children. The most of the men were naked. The women had very little clothing. They were put aft. The men forward. I think we sailed on the 9th of December. I worked my way to Rio. I saw the crew at Rio that belonged to the Hope after I got there. I knew they were the same, as I saw a negrir girl belonging to one of the crew. A few days after we got to Rio some misunderstanding occurred be tween Captain Driscoll and his chief mate, and they went to the Consul. What occurred there I don't know, but the Consul sent for me. At six o'clock that night we went to the American Minister, Mr. Proffit, who sent us on hoard the United States ship Columbus. Captain Driscoll went to Baltimore in a barque. Cross• examined—The dispute between the first mate and the captain was this :—The captain wanted to pay him up to Cabinda, and the mate demanded to be paid up to the time we arrived at Rio. The Consul there claimed as much for me. I am an American, and was never engaged in the slave trade Irfore, but have seen many slave-vessels in the llavannah—a great number. I was satisfied before I left Rio that the captain was going on a slave voyage. David Henderson, another of the crew of the brig Hope, corroborated the previous testimony. Mr. Barrett said he had other witnesses, but should rest here. Mr. W. M. Price said it was evident that his client: was not a participator in this affair, as the vessel was sold before she left Rio. Gustavus Shozette was called by Mr. Price. Ile said he was a green hand on board the brig llop'. Left her unto all hands before the negroes came on board. The Portuguese colours were hauled before they left. The American flag was taken on board for a short time, because the King made a signal that there was a vessel of war outside. The Hope sailed the same night, and we all stayed on board the Por poise. The Hope sailed on the 2d December, and we stayed until the 9th, and then sailed for Rio. The Learned Commissioner was of opinion that the whole question rested upon, whether the accused had parted with the ownership of the Hope before the slaves were put on board of her by the Portuguese captain and crew. He was not prepared to give his decision to day, but would look into the case, and the accused must be remanded until to-morrow (Friday). The Court met on the following day, and stated th•it it had come to a determination to commit Cap tain Driscoll, and Bartlett Mansfield, second mate of the same brig (the Hope), for participation in the same offence. MEETING OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES. Yesterday being the day fixed for taking into con sideration the proposition of Sir James Graham with respect to the erection of a New Prison in place of the one in Clerkenwell, now so named, and of adapting the former to the observance of the separate system, there was an unusually numerous attendance of ma gistrates, the bench being so full that many were obliged to sit in the counsels' box. After the disposal of some matters chiefly connected with the appointment of surveyors, in which there appeared but little general interest, Mr. ROTCH rose to propose the following resolu tion :—" That a Committee be appointed to consider the best steps for carrying out this proposition re specting the state of the New Prison, and also to con sider the plans laid before the Court by Secretary Sir James Graham, and to report thereon." He said that the present state of the New Prison was a dis grace to any civilised country, and its present state totally precluded them from carrrying into effect the provision of the new Act with respect to prison dis cipline. The Government had in the most commend able manner passed that Act, and it now became the duty of the magistrates to erect such prisons as would enable this Act to be effective. After considerable discussion, Mr. Kilsby, the keeper of the New Prison, was called and examined. He stated that the prison was totally inadequate for carrying into effect the proceedings of the Bill. He was examined at great length. Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, after this evidence, thought . there was quite enough to warrant the bench in • finding the presentment. Mr. TOWNSEND having seconded the motion, after some discusion the resolution was unanimously , agreed to. ENLARGEMENT OF HAN WELL LUNATIC ASYLUM. After Mr. Sergeant ADAMS had alluded, in strong terms, to the report of the Metropolitan Commission ers of Lunacy, which had been referred to the Court by Sir J. Graham, and which reflected upon the con duct of the Visiting Justices of Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, Mr. EDMONDS, the Deputy Clerk of the Peace, read the report of the Committee appointed to in quire into the state of the pauper lunatics, which stated that there were, at the present moment, 449 pauper lunatics in the county of Middlesex for whom there was no room in the Hanwell Asylum, and re commended strongly that land should be purchased,. adjacent to the asylum for building and enlarging it, - • and other means taken for the complete accommoda -, tion of the pauper lunatics of the county. Mr. POWELL moved that the report of the Corn mittee be received, and that the Committee be autho- , rised to negotiate for the purchase of land near the asylum, and to report on it to the Court on the next ' Court day. It would be desirable if they could pur chase from thirty to fifty acres, but there was about fifteen acres near the North-road, close to the asylum, . which he thought was a most desirable site. , An amendment negativing the resolution having been proposed, a long discussion ensued, which even tually terminated by the original motion being carried, with only one dissentient. Some other unimportant county business having been disposed of, the Court adjourned at half-past five o'clock. FAIRS IN SCOTLAND. FALKIRK TRYST.—The first of these great annual markets was held on Tuesday on the usual ground, Stenhouse Muir; and the show was principally com posed of grazing stock. The supply of good fat was about an average of the last August market, and sold about 7s. per Dutch stone. Cattle fine for fogging and turnips, from 4s. to 4s. 6d. per imperial stone ; leaner stock, from 3s. to 3s. 6d. In consequence of the failure of the grass in the south, a limited number of English and border jobbers were on the ground, and about eleven o'clock a number of sales were effected. Both buyers and sellers were disappointed—the buyers having bought too dear in the markets re cently held in the north, and the south country dealers paying here more money than they antici pated. Although the market was above an average' stock, there was a good demand for grazing cattle of the Aberdeen, Angus, and Fife breeds ; and good Ar a i t x l s - to q e n u a u r p t e de or r me N a v enn e t s ti t.. g g lt wb y as e hdierress, generallyow f e a r e goodanl loot quality,w n e e d g l t e h neglected. d wa . e b r o e S u above last August market was obtained for good beasts. MELROSE LAMB FAlR.—This great lamb fair was held on the 13th inst. on the base of the Eildon The numbers brought forward were above an average -- of former years, it being calculated that fully seventy five thousand appeared upon the ground, which is five thousand more than were shown at the Lammas fair - of last year. Bred lambs of the best descriptions could be bought upon much the same terms as those at St. Boswelrs, running from 18s. to 225. each; and secondary lots, or such as had been draughted from those sent to St. Boswell's and other markets, were selling, according to quality, at from 15s. to 17s. ditto. The same remarks are applicable both to three-parts bred and half .bred, according to their different values. NORWICH AND BRANDON RAILWAY. --A special general . meeting of the proprietors of this railway was held yesterday at the offices of the company, Guildhall buildings, at which the directors wer e empowered to effect an amalgamation of the interests of this company with the Norwich and Yarmouth Company. The di rectors were also empowered to take means for the con struction of a branch line to the town of Diss, and also to East Harling. The resolutions were unanimously adopted, after which the meeting separated. SHOAL IN THE CHINA. SEA.
