HE DEANS AND CHAPTERS '. THE BISHOPS. " The humble petition of the undersigned Dignitaries and Ministers of the Established Church of England, to the Honourable the Knights, Citizens, and Burgesses in Parliament assembled. " This petition humbly sheweth—That a recommendation has been made in the reports of the Ecclesiastical Commis sioners, that the patronage hitherto vested in the existing members of the cathedral churches should, after certain excep tions, be taken from them, and conferred upon the bishop of the diocese. Your petitioners were not aware that it was in tended by the appointment of the Ecclesiastical Commission to destroy any ecclesiastical institution, and to reconstruct it upon a fresh plan, but merely to rectify existing abuses, and in doing so to apply the remedy only so far as the evil was found to extend. Your petitioners are not aware that any petitions have been pre , rented to Parliament against the conduct of chapters in the exer cise of their patronage, or that preferment intheir handshas been given away upon principles less pure than those which have influenced the conduct of Bishops. The transfer of patronage to Bishops has been recommended by Commissioners _where all the Ecclesiastics are Bishops or Archbishops, of which Com mission no parochial Clergyman or Prebendary, or Dean has been constituted a Member, and where, in consequence, only one species of Ecclesiastical interest has been properly and powerfully represented; and if it be supposed that the Bench of Bishops (looking finis in their distribution of preferment to the good of the public) have hitherto 'neglected their own fa milies and relations, your petitioners beg of you to observe, whether or not at this moment most of the great preferments of the Church are not in the hands of Clergymen nearly re lated to and connected with the various Bishops who have filled the sees of this realm for the last thirty years ; * but if the interests of the Bi s h o ps shall in this case be found to pre vail over the right of the Chapters, your petitioners may at least consider such provision, as far as it concerns those to whom such patronage now belongs, to be wholly unjust and untenable. Many existing Members of Chapters have taken their preferment from the fair expectation of exercising this patro nage, and have been waiting for it for years; many have brought up their children to the profession of the Church, hoping- that their characters and merits would fairly permit that such preferment might be conferred upon them. Your petitioners humbly represent that their interests in . the pa tronage they now possess ought to be considered as much a vested interest as that which they have in their incomes dur ing their lives. It would be consid ere d as a very violent and unjustifiable proceeding to take away th e patronage of the Crown or that of laymen, and to confer it upon the bishops, and the title of chapters to their patronage is older and more indubitable than that which any layman can possess. The whole pretence for meddling with ecclesiastical property is founded upon the argument that no one has any right to the succession, an argument which applies, of course, to the future possessors, not to the present ; and leaves an ag gression of present rights, a mere act of violence_ and spolia tion. All the arguments which apply to the preservation of iucome to the present possessors, apply with equal force to the preservation of patronage. They are both valuable rights, which can only be claimed by the State when the possessor is dead and there is no heir. To deprive present possessors of their pa tronage is the infringement of a principle which has always been holden sacred by. the Legislature, a principle which facili tates all future improvement, by removing present opposition, and gives a feeling of security to property, which is of infinitely greater consequence to society than any .present convenience of accelerated reform. Taking the average lives of members of chapters at 56, the probability is, that the present members of chapters would he extinguished in a very few years from this period; and as it is only proposed that the redundant patron age, not wanted personally for the members of each chapter, is to be conferred on the bishops of the diocese, your peti tioners humbly suggest, that it is not a sound policy to violate a received principle in legislation for an advantage so slight, ncr to give to reform an air of violence and injustice, for objects which a little patiencq and deference to vested interests would so soon place within your power. .‘ In the 52d clause of the 4th Report of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, your petitioners observe with great surprise and alarm, that a power is recommended to be given to the Commissioners of dividing livings, even during the lives of the present incumbents, and taking away from them any portion of the value, and this to he dime without the consent of the pa tron, unless the patron be a layman or a bishop. A just and equitable protection is therefore granted to'every species of pa trons except deans and chapters ; in fact, is granted to all those who arc present in Parliament and can complain of injustice, and is denied where the injustice can be practised and the corn plaist be disregarded with impunity. Your petitioners would consider :his recommendation of the Commissioners, if carried into a Jaw, as a very gross act of partiality and oppression. In the proposed reduction of prebends, your petitioners humbly request that it may be specially provided that the houses of the vacant _ prebends within the precincts of the cathedral, may continue under the control of the deans and chapters, so that unfit end improper persons , may be kept out of the precincts of the cathedral, and the same order and decency be preserved there which ought to characterise any place dedicated to the residences of ecclesiastical ; personages. Your petitioners ob serve with considerable alarm the following passage in the 4th Report o? the ' Ecclesiastical Commissioners :—" We hav e already pointed out the necessity of making some alteration in the Statutes of the respective chapters, by which the times and periods of residence are regulated, we nosy recommend that the visitors of the respective chap ters s h ou ld make those alterati o ns, as . well as such other alterations as may be necessary, in order to render the Statutes and rules consistent withthe altered co n s tit u ti on and duties of these bodies." The archbialiops and bishops cf the commission being themselves visitors of the greatest part of the chapters in England, the Commissioners have in this paragraph recom mended a very serious and important increase of the power of the bishops, and which may in many instances be exercisedao the great prejudice and injustice of your petitioners. Your petitioners therefore pray :hat the powers proposed to be given to the visitors, of altering and creating rules - for the future government of cathedrals may be few, definite, and such only as change of circumstance may strictly require, and that the present members of chapters may rot be harassed by new and vexatiQus regulations, but suffered to live under the rules to which they have been aceustomed. There is, in fact, nothing by which your petitioners are more alarmed than the existence of a - central board, sheltered by general and indefinite powers, armed v..ith a public purse, and inflamed by a zeal for change. Such tribunals always fall under the absolute influence of some active individual, become a cloak for tyranny, and a source of endless vexation to the indivi duals who are subjected to their irresistible power. As a re medy against this evil, your petitioners humbly request that'in any Bill which in your wisdom you may choose to enact for the constitution of such Commissioners, you will give them powers clearly and plainly defined, and nothipg more than the necessity of the case requires. Your petitioners wish to live tn her the control of laws, and not under those ill-defined and general pou;c:-3 %%lila, to the great alarm of your petitioners, arc asked for the present Occasion.

The place where i t was dug up is supposed to have been the site of a Roman sta tion. .Mr. Friedel is the publisher of this singular engraving, and deserves the thanks of all antiquarians for the skilful man ner in which he has caused it to be executed. NETTLES.—In Scotland I have eaten nettles, I have slept in nettle sheets, and I have dined off a nett l e table cloth. The young and tender nettle is an excellent potherb, and the stalks of the old nettle are as good as flax for making cloth. I have heard my mother say that she thought nettle cloth more durable than any other species of linen.— T. Camp. in the Now Monthly. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

The Commissioners appointed by the Spanish Government for the Conversion of the Foreign Debt of Spain, having received Orders from Madrid for carrying into effect the Decree of the 28th of February , last, relative to the Foreign Passive Debt, beg to in form the Holders of this Stock, that they have given instructions to Messrs. Ardoin and Co. in Paris, and Messrs. J. and S.-Ricardo and Co. in London, to take measures for putting into immediate execution the provisions of the above-mentioned decree. As the Decree provides for the conversion of one-sixth of the Foreign Passive Debt annually, should the applications exceed this amount, the lists will be transmitted to Madrid, and the Numbers entitled to the privilege will be determined by lot. The Bonds will be converted into Active Stock on the same terms as those granted to the holders of the Interior Passive Debt. Fcr every One Hundred Pounds Stock, Twenty-five Pounds money in Bonds at. the price of Fifty will be given, bearing interest from the Ist October next, payable at Madrid only. Thus the holder of Passive Stock who may obtain the benefit of the Conversion will receive in exchange half the amount of his Bonds in Active Stock. I pen the arrival of the result of the drawing, it will be immedi ately announced to the Public, and the exchange will take place so soon as the new Bonds shall be transmitted from Madrid.

HEINE BROTHERS CONTRACTORS, in HAMBURG. TO ADVERTISERS. Ti will be seen by the following extract front the Stamp Office Returns, that THE SUN is now the Leading Evening Paper, in point of circulation, as the Lists for Me Months of March and April last will show : Sun Globe and Traveller 132,000 Courier .. 70,500 True Sun, and Weekly True Sun 58,500 Shipping Gazette than an eighteenth part of the Archbishop of CANTER BURY'S reformed stipend. Still more absurd, if pos sible, is it to attempt to say that an equalization of some of the Bishoprics will prevent the desire of translation, while others are retained on such a scale of splendour as cannot fail to operate even upon the humility and sobriety of an episcopal imagination. But to return to the subject of - the Deans and Chapters, with which we set out. In the Fourth Re port of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, it is recom mended that the patronage now belonging to these bodies should be taken from them instanter—not even shriving time allowed—and given to the Bishops. The petition to which we have alluded sets the shocking in justice of this proposal in its true light, and we have added a note by way of comment on that part of the petition where allusion is • made to the mode in which the Right Reverend Fathers in God have used the immense patronage which they already possess. The public will there see with what disinterestedness, with what a single eye to the glory of God and the good of his Church, they have dispensed the things of which they have been constituted the stewards by no less than a jure divine title I I The Mannerses, the Sparkes, the Pretymans, and the Luxmores, make a splendid, if not a Christian figure—do they not ? Mr. CLAY brought forward the case of the Danish Claimants last night in a clear and forcible manner, in which he was ably supported by Dr. LUSHINGTON, Mr. HUME, Mr. O'CONNELL, Mr. HUTT, and Mr. G. F. YOUNG, notwithstanding the indecent noise which some of the understrappers endeavoured to keep up below the bar. We must confess that we never heard weaker arguments than those upon which the opposition has been grounded, and sorry are we to find a Liberal Minister of the Crown resorting to the ex pedient of sheltering himself under an opinion of a Solicitor-General, founded upon technical vague ob jections which would not do credit to a country attorney, and in support of which we defy him to bring forward any respectable authority. Mr. GOULBURN Was the only Member on the Tory side who spoke against the sufferers, and who evidently did not under stand the real merits of the case, or else he endea voured purposely to mislead the House, by stating that the ships and cargoes for which compensation is sought were taken on the high seas ; whereas the property was either seized in Danish ports or in the Baltic, which close sea was declared to be neutral, and there fore the seizure was contrary to every principle of international law ; but the ex-Chancellor knows as much about the law of nations as a tom-tit. It is truly lamentable to see a man, who would not hesitate to vote hundreds of thousands for any corrupt Tory job, deny common justice to those sufferers, while the Government makes a profit by the act which occasioned the plunder of the claimants' property. _ _ With the trifling majority of eight, it was decided last night in the House, that the original motion on the Church of Ireland Bill be left unaltered, by which division the case of the Danish claimants remains still unredressed. If the seventy Members of the House who had previously expressed themselves convinced of the justice of the case, and had promised to vote ac cordingly, had been present at the division, there is no doubt that the claimants would have had a very de cided majority. hi fact the case must ultimately suc ceed—there is too strong a sense of justice inherent in the -British nation, for it to be otherwise. The pith of the CHANCELLOR'S principle, as he calls it, is that the British nation is bound to pay the debts of a Foreign nation, alth oug h that Foreign nation had by a solemn treaty undertaken to pay those debts. This principle that the nation is bound to compensate the wrongs committed by a Foreign nation, may lead to endless reclamatiOns, as we shall show on a future occasion. His other principle is, that the Government is not bound to compensate the wrongs which it has occasioned to its subjects itself, and that the nation is to profit by the losses of individuals. We publish a list of the division, that the country may see who are the friends and who the enemies of the cause. Many who ought to have supported it, we regret to say either neglected to be present, or left the House previous to the division. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought in the Post-office Bill last night to enable his MA JESTY to appoint Commissioners for executing the duties of his Majesty's Postmaster-General, which was read a first time and ordered to be read a second time on Thursday next. We have hitherto abstained from entering into pro blematicaldiscuss:ons with our Contemporaries—Morn ing or Evening—on the subject of the dismissal of the REIS EFFENDI by the Porte, as we have had no means of ascertaining to what length Lord PON SONBY had gone, in insisting upon the nature of the satisfaction due to the BritiXGovernment, for the in sult offered to it in the person of Mr. CHURCHILL. 'We had seen, it is true, private letters in which it was stated that the British Ambassador declared that he would demand his passports, if the REIS EFFENDI were not dismissed ; and we likewise had seen other letters in which his Lordship was stated to have threatened the dismemberment of Turkey, unless the Porte pacified England by disgracing the Minister by whom the violation of a sacred Treaty was allowed to pass unpunished. But then again there were more letters, and in these it was affirmed that Lord PoN- SoNBY had not mooted the question of the dismissal of the REIS EFFENDI—that he simply observed that he would await instructions from London—and that the SULTAN, presuming that Lord PALMERSTON would make the dismissal of the REIS EFFENDI the condition of a reconciliation between Great Britain and the Ottoman empire, very prudently saved himself from the humiliation that awaited him, by dismissing the offending Minister, on a pretext of ill health. Such were the rumours in circulation ; and upon these it appeared to us absurd to base arguments affecting so grave a question a s our re l a ti ons w ith th e Porte. Nor shall we now give an opinion upon the subject. It is possible that Lord PALMERSTON may be called upon for explanations by the House of Commons ; or that through some other authentic channel we. may become acquainted with the contents of Lord PONSONBY'S despatches ; and then it will be time enough to give an opinion respecting the firmness of our Government, and the respect paid to it by the Porte. In the mean time we ought to be satisfied. The REIS EFFENDI has been disgraced. The publication of TfTE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. IgW.; zhje _4z3111,+ LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 16, 1836. In another column will be found a very interesting and edifying document, in the shape of a petition from some of the dignitaries of the Church to the House of Commons. It is calm and temperate, and will on that account produce the greater effect in the quarter to which it is addressed. To us it appears to contain as severe and as just a censure as ever yet was cast upon the Bishops of the Church of England. We have already frequently expressed our disap pointment at the narrowness of the measure of Church Reform which the Government have thought it ad visable to propose, and we can be reconciled to it only on the ground of its being the first instalment of a debt due to the country. Its most repulsive feature is the enormous difference which it makes between the incomes of the bishops and of the inferior clergy. Men of common sense and right feeling will never ap prove of giving 15,0001.,10,0001., and 8,000/. a year to some of the bishops, while there are hundreds of the most deserving of the clerical order who do not receive the wages of a bricklayer's labourer. This is a plague spot on the Bill, which taints it and makes it stink in the nostrils of the public, who want no other guide to direct their judgments in cases of this kind than the beat ing of their own hearts. To talk of the necessity of keep ing up rank is sheer humbug. The Archbishop of PA-. Rls keeps up all the rank required in a Church which is accused by Protestants of too great a desire for external splendour, OR an income of 800/. per amium,which is less The Paris papers of Thursday contradict the re port that another attempt had been made on the life of the KING. On Wednesday the National was seized for having published two articles which, in the opinion of the chief of the police, were exculpatory of the crime of ALIBEAUD. The KING ought to pray fervently to be delivered from the officiousness of those who profess to be his friends. " Save me from my friends," is an invocation which should ever be in his MAJESTY'S mouth. The articles for the publication of which the National was seized, turn out to he ver batim transcripts from THIERS'S history of the Revo lution—the author being himself at the head of the Government, and his history being recognized as a standard work in the literature of France. The cen sor who has thus signalized himself must be the same person who, after the execution of FIESCHI, forbade the acting of one of CORNEILLE'S finest plays, from a conviction that it had been written for the ex press purpose of inciting the Republicans to assassi nate LOUIS PHILIPPE ! But the over-zeal thus evinced for the preservation of the KING'S life contributes nothing to the security of his MAJESTY'S person. The Police of Paris are after all but a set of bungling braggarts—active and vigilant when their vigilance and activity are not wanted. For the KING'S part, we believe that few envy him the possession of his regal dignity, sur rounded as he is by so many,mortal perils. Whatever calmness he may assume in the bosom of his family, in the retirement of his closet his mind must be ill at ease. It is a fearful thing to have the horrors of Asassination constantly 'before one's eyes. It is a terrible thing to see crowds of armed men moving around one, accompanied with the awful conviction that their presence is necessary to the very existence of the object of their vigilance. Such a state can be but little better than one pf agonizing torment to the strongest minded'persons, when in the full possession of health and consciousness what then must be its terrors in sickness and in sleep ? How strong soever the KING'S nerves may have been, we feel fully convinced that the attempt of ALIBEAUD shook them so that years will not recover their former tone. The crime of FIESCIII was the foul deed of a devil incarnate, but the attempt of ALlBEAUD—detestable as it was—had its origin in the perversion of human faculties of a high order. The KING must be aware of this, a n d knowing it, his mind must be haunted with terrors ever present in one shape or another. There is no news of any moment from Spain. (From the Papers.) On Tuesday evening the King transacted business with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and received the Danish Minis ter, Marshal Clausel, Count Pozzo di Borgo, Admiral Jacob, the Count de Now, and Count Daragon. Yesterday his Ma jesty transacted business with the Ministers of Public Instruc tion, and for Foreign Affairs, and granted an audience to the Spanish Ambassador. THE FRENCH FLEET.—Extract of a letter, dated Road stead of Tunis, June 20 :—" Our force here consists of four ships of the line, a sloop, and a brig. We have not had a moment's rest since the arrival of Admiral Hugon, but have been constantly employed in bending and unbending the sails, and performing sham engagements, pretended boarding par. t i es, and ot h er exerc i ses . We, consequently, can very rarely go ashore. The emissaries of the Porto make the Turkish squadron amount to 25 or 30 sail, composed of 3 three-deckers and 10 or 12 frigates, besides sloops, brigs, an d some sma ll er craft. We are far from having an equal number, but the 120 guns of the Montebello, the 180 of the Jena and Santi Petri, and the 74 of the Vile de Marseille, with those of the Scipion and Hermione, which are about to join us, will be quite sufficient to stop the course of Tahir Pacha. The Admiral has set up a signal post on Cape Carthage, and at the first signal we shall be ready to welcome our visitors. The Diligente sloop goes out every morning to cruise outside the Bay, to watch and announce the arrival of Tahir Pacha and his squadron. We believe that we shall not go out to meet him, but wait for him at our anchorage. The fort of Goletta, which defends the entrance into the harbour, is mounted with artillery, and it is thought that several detach ments will be landed to serve the guns, if the Turks should attempt to force their way in."—Paris Paper. A letter of the 9th instant, from Toulon, says ;—" The sloop Indienne is just arrived from Tunis, with the important intelligence that the squadron of Admiral Hugon has taken its departure from thence. His destination is not known, but it is generally believed that he is gone to Tripoli, in order to ascertain whether the Turkish squadron has landed any troops on the coast of Barbary. When the Indienne took her de parture, some important event was expected." PARIS, JULY 13.—0 n 'Change to-day, news unfavourable to the army of the Queen of Spain continued to be circu lated ; the most important is the dislocation of the English Legion, in consequence of resignations, and of demands of leave of absence.

The German Journals pu.blish letters from Vienna, stating that the dismissal of the REIS EFFENDI by the Porte, is generally understood as a concession made personally by the SULTAN to the British. The writers express themselves uncertain as to whether Lord PONSONBY would be satisfied, as the SULTAN had not cited the case of Mr. CuuncHlLL as the ostensible cause of the REIS EFFENDI'S disgrace.

We beg to call the attention of the House of Com mons, and more especially of his Majesty's Govern ment, to a petition on the subject of Post-office Re form, from the most influential inhabitants of Great Yarmouth, which will be found in another column. The grievance complained of by the petitioners, is, we regret to state, very far from being a solitary instance of the extreme inattention of the Post-office authori ties to the efficiency of the Establishment over which they preside: They seem to consider it amply sufficient, if 'a town be provided with a re ceiving box and an office for the delivery of letters, without once troubling their heads about its locality, its general convenience, or the time wasted in the clumsy and irregular management of the most important branch of the public business. They are all for pocketing their salaries, and taking things easy. But the affairs of a great commercial people cannot be suffered to stand stock-still for the conve nience of those who are well paid for accelerating their onward movement. A blind alley, or a dirty lane, is not exactly the most fitting site for a Post office. We trust Mr. WALLACE will see to this. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. DANISH CLAIMS.

THEATRES AND NEWSPAPERS.---JUSt as the Common's were about to adjourn yesterday morning—the very witching time for business with the Chancellor of the Ex chequer —two new Bills were brought in :—l. A Bill "To Repeal so much of the 10th Geo. 11., c. 28, as Provides that no plays shall be acted but in Westminster or places of his Ma jesty's residence :" and, 2. A Bill " to consolidate and amend the Laws relating to the Conveyance of Newspapers by the Post." The first Bill, however, is the Beaumont and Fletcher production of Mr. H. L. Bulwer and Mr. Grantley Berkeley ; of the second Mr. Spring Rice is parent and sponsor. On Friday last, the Bth inst., a valuable mare be longing to the Rev. D. W. Griffith, having been left tied up in the neighbourhood of a large stand of bees, while Mr. Grif. fith was visiting a sick parishioner, within three miles of Builth, was in a short time so severely stung by the insects, that after all attempts to remove her had failed, she died in a few hours literally covered with stings.—Her ford Journal. LITERATURE. JONATHAN JEFFERSON WHiTLATV. 3 Vols. Bentley, London, 1836. There is more manly, unaffected vigour in this work, than in any that has been produced for years. Had not the title-page assured us to the contrary, we should never have guessed it had been written by a lady, for it has all the characteristics of a practised male pen, being shrewd, satirical, and full of knowledge of the human heart, as that knowledge is developed among the planters and back-woodsmen of the Louisianian settlements. Again, there is no parade of sentiment in the tale ; the feeling is worldly in the extreme, and the frequent sketches of the scenery on the banks of the Mississippi ; as also of the habits of life, and tone of thinking of the squatters and planters of Natchez and New Orleans, are pourtrayed with all the rough, graphic energy of a Cooper. But the work has higher recommendations than these. It is a fearless exposure of the iniquities of the slave system, as practised in the Southern States of America ; and as Mrs. Trollope—we feel a strong inclination to sub stitute Mr. for Mrs.,—has herself been an observant eye-witness of all that she describes, drawing little or nothing on her fancy, fruitful as this is, her volumes will do more to open the eyes of the public, and give it a 'keen insight into the abominations of this inde fensible system, than all the speeches that were ever perpetrated in Parliament. In these pages we see slavery, not as its advocates would desire it to appear, but as it really •is ; and a more ingenious scheme was never yet invented by the devil for the purpose of de moralizing a community. Apparently, nothing can be truer to life than our author's descriptions of the domestic habits of the natives of Natchez and New Orleans, and assuredly nothing can be more heartless, more repulsive, or more degraded than these said habits. From the richest merchant, down to the poorest tradesman, the slave traffic corrupts and hardens the hearts of all. Even the fair sex do not escape the contagion, but can inflict tortures on their mise rable black helots with all the skill and heartiness of the males. The hero of Mrs. Trollope's tale is an American back-woodsman, the confidential clerk of one Colonel Dart, a Member of Congress, and owner of five hundred slaves, whom he flogs, within an inch of their lives, for his own private amusement, as well as to show that he is a strict and virtuous disciplinarian. His clerk, Jonathan Jefferson Whitlaw, is a close imitator of the Colonel's amiable peculiarities, and finally falls a victim—after having displayed powers of roguery sufficient to set up a dozen London swindlers for life—to the vengeance of the race whom he has so perseveringly trampled on. This character is sustained throughout with uncommon ability. It is that of a worldly, grasping, callous adventurer, dead to all the softening influences of hUmanity, and alive only to the sensibilities of the pocket. It is, in fact, pretty much such a character as Fielding's Jonathan Wild, and we pay—high as it is—no unmerited com pliment to Mrs. Trollope, when we say that it is pourtrayed with nearly equal vigour. The German family of Steinmark is another admirable creation of our Authoress's pen, and is evidently introduced for the purpose of affording a grateful relief to the rest of her dramatis perstnue. Nor must we omit noticing the portraits of the young enthusiast Edward Bligh, and his orphan sister Lucy, the former of whom falls a victim to the cursed Lynch law—a catastrophe which is drawn with terrific energy. Had 111 - rs. Trollope written nothing else but her present work,, she would have written quite enough to ensure herself a foremost rank among the novelists of the age ; for Jonathan Jefferson Whitlaw is, beyond all comparison, the very best book that the season has produced, whether we regard the skill of its plot, the f er tility o f i ts i nc id ents , the' keenness of its satire, or the perfect naturalness of its characters. That it will make Jonathan ten times more wroth against her than ever, we have not the slightest doubt ; and as little that it will be pro ductive of great good, by tending to shame the Southern States, where slavery still exists in all its unmitigated atrocity, into its suppression, we hope at no distant date. As a sample of; the " mark and like lihood" of Mrs. Trollope's dialogue, we quote the fol lowing, which is part of a conversation between Jona than Whitlaw and one Hogstown, both of whom have been dispatched to New Orleans, for the purpose of organizing some plans to put a stop to the instructing and Christianizing the slave population, which some high-minded English missionaries had been 'secretly puttinJ into practice : " < Weil, I say, Whitlaw,' resumed his Natchez acquaint ance, ' have you heard of the outbreak at Colonel Miran deau's ? This is the second within ten days; and both comes of reading, and preaching, and praying, and such like diabo heal exercises ; and it comes, too, as I tell 'em all at Natchez, of that stingy, saving, niggardly, pitiful spirit, that makes 'cm do anything rather than kill their niggers outright. You may scorch 'em, 'tis true, and skin 'em, and welcome, or anything else in the torture line that comes into your head; but there isn't one single planter between this and Natchez liberal and patriotic enough to hang one of his gang outright.' " Why, there's few that likes to make away with their own stock, that's a fact,' replied Whitlaw. But what is it, Mr. Hogstown, Sir, that has happened over at Colonel Miran deau's ? I've been considerable busy since I arrived, and haven't chanced to hear a word of it.' " Well, then, it's no joke, I promise you,' replied Hogs town. There's been one Bible and five tracts, and two hymnbooks found hid in some of the nigger-huts on Colonel Mirandeau's plantation. That was a week or ten days ago ; and yesterday as ever was, a young nigger, newly purchased in Virginia, was overheard, and right-down caught out, while reading out loud to a whole bevy of them a piece of a cursed old English newspaper, with a lot of infernal stuff in it about emancipation. Just think of that, Whitlaw, in a nigger-but in Louisiana!' " • Confound the varmint i—and what was done to 'ern ?' " ' Ay, there's the mischief. They was flogged all round, just as many lashes as they could stand without the pulse go ing ; and then they was salted ; and it done 'em no more harm than if they had been so many red herrings. But if the Co lonel had been liberal and only hanged three or four of 'em we should have seen how the rest would have quaked. The var mint know the valy of their lives, and 'tis that makes them so malignant and rebelsome.' " "Tis very true, Mr. Hogstown, Sir ; but when a man has a gang of his own,' replied Whitlaw, remembering with no little feeling of pride the three men, seven women, and ten children, that made the glory and profit of Mount Etna— ' when a man has once got together a gang, you will most times find 'em considerable against losing 'em, any how.' " There's more of profit than patriotism in that notion, Mr. Whitlaw, you won't deny that, Sir. But, however, that's not much to the business in hand between us two. I expect that we are both of us come to New Orlines pretty much in the same line, by what has been made known to me at Para dise Plantation ; only I am engaged for the public—the pub lic of Natchez, I mean—and you, as I take it, for Colonel Dart and nobody else. Now my instructions at starting was specially.to find you out, and make you comprehend clear and distinct what it is we have got to perform.' " The wheat crop everywhere promises to be very abundant ; that of potatoes is deficient in all parts of the west of England.—Taunton Courier. The Emperor of Russia was expected to set out for the southern provinces about the middle of July. It does not appear that the Empress will accompany him. The Thames Tunnel continues to occupy public curiosity, and is visited weekly by several hundred persons, amongst whom were on Tuesday last the following distin guished fashionables, viz. :—the Marquis and Marchioness of Downshire, Lady Charlotte and Lady Mary Hill, Lord Arthur Hill, M. P., the Hon. F. Vesey, and Mr. Macleod, &c. Lord Ponsonby has obtained satisfaction. The Reis Effendi, Akif Effendi Muschir, has been dismissed, and will be succeeded by the former Kaimakhan, Kolussi Pacha. Lord Ponsonby appeared satisfied, but has, nevertheless, not yet re-appeared at the Foreign-office. Akiff Effendi retires to Broussa in a sort of exile ; he is one of the most skilful servants the Porte ever had, and the Government will severely feel his loss. It was found necessary for the Sultan to afford this satisfaction to the British Minister, even before he had received any communication from his Government. The Sultan has punished all those who had any share in the offence committed towards England, in the person of a subject of his Britannic Majesty. Justice must, however, be rendered to Akif Effendi, who several times soli cited his own resignation. The Sultan only decided upon the point after learning that Mr. Churchill was one of the most devoted friends of the Porte, and after being made acquainted with several circumstances which had been hitherto kept secret from his Highness. Angry at the deception put upon him, the Sultan banished Akif Effendi on the night of the 15th-16th June; Taffoki Boschau, chief of police at Galatz, has been condemned to imprisonment for six months; and the inferior officers who shared in the injury done to Mr. Churchill have been bastinadoed. Thus, says the facetious German chronicler, the affair has concluded : it began by blows, and finished by blows, and is now fairly blown over. Halil Pacha, the Sultan's son-in-law, has gone to Varna ; it was said that his voyage related to the evacua tion of Silistria. The cholera at Vienna was raging fright fully ; there were 100 deaths a day. The Duke of Brunswick and the King of Naples were still in that capital.

We extract the following : " CONGRESS, JUNE 18. —RECOGNITION OF TIAAS. —Mr. Clay, from the Committee on Foreign Relations,, to which had been referred the joint resolutions of the sta :e of Con necticut, praying Congress to recognise the independence of Texas, made a report on the subject. The report is not of great length ; it concludes with a resolution, that the inde pendence of Texas ought to be acknowledged, whenever satis factory information shall have been received that it has in operation a Government capable of sustaining itself." " REDUCTION OF THE REVENUE :---Mr. Al‘Kay moved a suspension of the rules, for the purpose of offering th e follow ing resolution : • Resolved, that the Revenue, receivable under the present law, is, and will be more than required for the fair am l legiti mate wants of the Governm en t, an d t h at prov i s i on oug ht to be made for its reduction." " By an official circular issued to Brigadier-General Rush, of the Texean army, dated Harrisburgh, May 10, it ap pears that the divisions of the Mexican army are becoming concentrated again in San Antonio ; and that they are still in number about 5,000 men. We prefer giving credence tp such an account, than to the rumour that 1,200 Mexicans surren dered themselves prisoners to . 300 Texeans, and that the Mexi can army were rapidly flying the country. " Tile Mexican war will, we fear, be continued another winter campaign, unless Congress shall, in the interval, ac knowledge the independence of Texas, or purchase the coun try from the Mexican ;Government ; but the latter is not now to be expected, till the Mexicans shall have made a .zomplete conquest of the place." The New Orleans Bulletin of June 4, has the foil, )wing, as the latest from Mexico :—" By the arrival last evening of the schooner Camache, from Matamoras, whence she sailed on the 25th ult., we learn that news had been received at Chat place, confirming the victory of the Texeans over Santa An na, which produced no extraordinary sensation in the minds o f our ci tizens." Extract of a letter from Vera Cruz, dated M.P.ty 20 : " The financial resources of this Government have never perhaps at any period been in a more lamentable state than at this time. The expense of the present war has drawn heavily on the public coffers—these being closely drained, with little hope of renewal from any increase of comLnerce ; arid this has prompted the cupidity of some of the principal capitalists of the country to speculate on the. poverty cf . the Republic, and for which 8 millions of dollars were offeued -4 millions in advance; and the residue in monthly instalimmts,. with the condition that the Company should have the privilege: of appointing their own officers of the Customs. It is uup— posed by many that the proposition will be agreed to." A letter from Mexico of the 4th of May states that all was quiet. Nothing later from Santa Anna, than his successes west of the Brazos and Colorado. The Richmond Whig of Thursday has the following para graph on the subject of the wheat crop in Virginia : The wreck of the wheat crop is almost complete throughout the State. Complaints are loud, and no doubt just. What the hard winter, left the fly had nearly extirpated." As a set-off to the foregoing, and other similar accounts, we copy the fol lowing from the Cincinnati Gazette The newspapers are pouring in upon us doleful accounts of the wheat crops. This is a regular story of every season, told by those who know so little on the subject as to assert that the deep snows of win ter have destroyed the wheat.
