SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The occupation of Cracow called fortb, last night, th e strongest reprobation from every part of the House of Com pions. Lord Palmerston, in answer to Sir Stratford Can ning, candidly stated that Government had not been fur nished officially by the three Powers with any explanation of the grounds on which they had acted. As England was an influential party to the treaty by which the independence of Cracow was secured, it is difficult to understand how the three Powers can possibly justify conduct which, on the face of it, appears insulting to this country. By the treaty of Vienna, it was expressly stipulated that on no pretence whatever should foreign troops enter the State of Cracow., The treaty, observed Lord Palmerston, " also contained a reciprocal condition that that State should not harbour par ticular persons described in the treaty, or should, upon ap plication, give them up to either of the three Powers : and it was under the assigned terms of the treaty that the three residents at Cracow founded their demand for the expulsion of the Polish Refugees." Now, it is obvious, that the treaty does not justify the mea sure resorted to by the Powers. " Though (as his Lordship observed) the three Powers might be justified in calling upon the Republic to order the persons com plained of, as endeavouring to excite sedition in Russian and Prussian Poland, to depart from its territories, it did not follow that these Piwers were justified in having re course to the violence of military occupation, merely on account of the short interval between the time when the demand was made, and its being carried into effect." ft appears, therefore, that the demand exceeded what was warranted by the terms of the treaty. Hypocrisy has been defined the homage which vice pays to virtue, and it is al ways, we believe, deemed a very unfavourable symptom of the moral state of a country, when men do not even at tempt to conceal their vices. The three Powers do not, it appears, think it worth their while even to affect a regard for treaties. It is due to Lord Palmerston to say that he spoke with becoming disapprobation of the shameless disre gard of the public opinion of Europe, manifested by the three Powers on this occasion. " There was no question (he observed) but that every State, however comparatively powerless and limited in extent, was entitled to have justice done to it, and to have the independence guaranteed to it by , treaties maintained equally with the most considerable States. In truth, it is with States as with individuals. The efficacy of law is seen not in the inviolability of the rich and powerful, but in the sense of security of the poorer citizens. Whenever we see rich men trample with impunity on the poor, we at once pro nounce that the law is powerless. In the utter disregard of the small republic of Cracow, we see a demonstra tion that the public law of Europe has no existence. It was observed by Sir Stratford Canning that the lan guage of the declaration of the three Powers on entering Cracow, was exactly similar to that which was held on the three infamous partitions of Poland. It bas often been said that the conduct of the three Powers with regard to Po land, which evinced an utter disregard to all that ought to be held sacred among men, shook the morality of Europe to its foundations, and contributed more than all else to the separation of the nations for their governments during the storms of the French Revolution. Severely did the Sovereigns suffer from their disregard of the, prin ciples of justice. But the lessons of adversity are now, it appears, forgotten. They are not afraid, in the face of Europe, to violate the obligations of treaties, and to declare, that becatise Cracow is feeble, that therefore they have no hesitation in trampling on it. The example of injustice thus afforded will sink deep into the hearts of the nations. Cracow will not soon be forgotten. When right and justice are set at defiance by the great, then authority rests on the most precarious of all founda tions. The three Powers allege that the Poles in Cracow communicated with the Poles in their respective dominions, and a regard for their own safety compelled them to invade its territories. Thus one injustice always leads to another. The man who robs, is often led to commit murder to de stroy the evidence of his crime. The three Powers know that they have no right or title to Poland, and that they possess it against the will of the inhabitants, and they see in every Polish exile a conspirator. But, as was observed by Mr. O'Connell, " a feeling for the sufferings of Po land was working in the mind of the public all over Europe, and the despots, with their armed power, little knew what might be the. consequences of the wrongs they were perpetrating." Who knows but that this last injustice may fill the cup to the brim, and that the indignation excited in Europe by the open dis regard of all public law and obligations of treaties, may produce effects through which Poland may yet be wrested from its spoilers. It is no doubt true, as was stated by Len! John Russell, that the House ought not to pass any strong resolution on the subject, unless it was prepared for war. It is one thing for the Members of the House of Commons. in their individual capacity, to express their sense of the injustice committed by the three Powers, and another for the House in its collective capacity to pass a resolution. ,Should British interests call on us to draw the sword, Cracow will not be forgotten ; but the guardians of the interests of the_ nation ought to pause before they commit the country to the dreadful issue of war. Though ice arc a great and powerful nation, we are not called on to pot ourseire's forn - ard as the champions of the' oppressed throughout the world. War is a resource of so serious a nature, that it ought to be reserved for the very last extre- I ty.—Morning Chronicle. A copy of Dr. Hampden's lecture, delivered on Thurs day, has been sent to us from the London publisher. We suppose, therefore, we may consider the report to be au thenticated. We have never interposed in the controversy, and 'shall not now ; but we regret that the appointment of Dr. Hampden has engendered so much - theological heat, for we eerec with our able and upright contemporary, the Standard, that itis not a mere political quarrel. Man} of Dr. Hampden's opponents are men of honour, learning, and religion, but their zeal is greater than their judgment, and such zeal is always mischievous. A man of acknow ledged talent and erudition, and who had already the stamp of University fame upon bite by his twofold offices of a pro fessor and a head of a college, is appointed (possibly— probably from some political motive) to a higher office, and a sudden clamour is raised against his orthodoxy. What must the public think of the previous acquiescence of the University in the fitness of Dr. Hampden to be a lecturer in her schools, and the president of one of her collegiate establishments ? Why, if there were danger, was not the alarm sooner raised ? Why, if there was disgrace, was not an earlier attempt, made to remove the cause ? But we will not he tempted to break our silence : we content our selves with publishing the concluding sentences of the in augural discourse delivered by the professor on Thursday, in which he notices in a temperate and Christian spirit the objections of his opponents.—Times. We were among the first to censure the appointment of Dr. Hampden to the office of Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford. From the moment when the intention of his Majesty's Government to make that appointment first tran spired we endeavoured by every means in our power to pre vent its completion. After the appointment was officially announced we did not shrink from the duty of stimulating the members of the University to employ with zeal, energy, and determination, whatever means remained in their hands for the purpose of mitigating the evil consequences with which this appointment appeared to us, and still appears to us, to be pregnant. Such having been our past course, we I,el that we only perform a duty which we owe to Dr. Hampden, to the University of Oxford, to our readers, and, above all, to the cause of candour and truth, in devoting a considerable portion of our paper of this day to the inaugural discourse of the Learned Professor, in which he attempts to clear himself from the charges that we have assisted to promulgate. Those of our readers who have consulted the compositions upon the evidence of which the orthodoxy of Dr. Hampden's opinions has been impeached will i now be enabled to judgefor themselves to what extent this at tempt to vindicate it is a successful one. To us t ap pears that the inaugural discourse partakes more of the na ture of a recantation than of a defence, while it carefully and laboriously s h u n s w h a t mus t always constitute the moral virtue of a recantation—the frank confession of antecedent error. This recantation in disguise can scarcely, we think, have increased the confidence of the University of Oxford in its new Theological P ro f essor. T he di scourse, a bl e an d ingenious as it is, must have greatly disappointed the expec tations of Dr. Hampden's friends. What the position of the. Rev. Professor required was a su ccess f u l attempt to re concile the language of his former writings with the doc trines of the Church of England, or an explicit acknow ledgment of the fact that his language had failed to convoy his real meaning, together with an ample ex planation of the manner and degree of th a t f a il ure. Dr. H am pd en f ou nd it convenient, however, to substit u t e for th ese a genera l expos iti on of the causes which may l ea d to the m i sconstruct i on o f an au th or ' s meaning, and a denial, equally general, th a t th e p assages o f his writings to which objection had been taken had been rightly interpreted. The charge of having promulgated erroneous opinions may be eluded by this dexterous process, but it cannot be re pelled. It must be satisfactory to those members of the University of Oxford who have taken the most active part in directing attention to the past writings of Dr. Hamp den, to witness in his inaugural discourse the first salu tary effect of their labours. It is a very different dis course from what any man who has made himself ac quainted with those writings, would have expected from their author, and the difference may fairly be ascribed to' the consciousness of the lecturer that be was to address a vigilant and jealous auditory. S uc h port i ons of this discourse as constitute the syllabus of the Learned Professor's future instructions would be calculated, in a great degree, to remove the alarm which hi s appo i ntment has oc cas i one d to the friends of sound religion, biit for the natural and unavoidable reflection that, as the syllabus de viates very materially from the standard of his past wri- tings, his instructions may deviate in like manner and de gree from the present syllabus. There will, we fear, be no safety for the religious principles of the candidates for holy orders whom Dr. Hampden is to instruct, but in the con tinuance of that vigilance and jealousy on the part of the other authorities of the University which appear to have exercised so powerful and salutary an influence over the composition of his inaugural discourse.—Morning Post.

The bigots of Bath, with those who find their ad vantage in the profession of dogmas which their judgment re pudiates, have, it seems, got up a petiti on i n t h e spirit of a very grave admonition to his Majesty, for presuming to sanc tion the appointment of Dr. llampden to the Regius Profes sorship of Oxford. Such a proceeding by the cle rgy o f the Deanery of Bath, is calculated to create disgust as we ll as to injure that Establishment on which the inquiring eyes of the present enlightened generation are fixed with a strong feeli ng for reforming its abuses. The fools and hypocrites ! Do they think that by assuming the mask of orthodoxy they can keep from sight their sole actuati ng p r i nc iple. Is it not plain to all the world, that they, and such as they, love not religion-- their care is pelf and self—their worship the worship of Mammon.

The question of the occupation of Cracow was brought before the House of Commons last night by Sir STRATFORD CANNING, who clearly proved that the conduct of the three invading Powers, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, towards this little independent territory, was in downright, barefaced violation of the Treaty of Vienna. By that treaty, to IN hich England was a consentin g party, the Alli e d Powers bound themselves, at all hazards, to respect the independence of Cracow, expressly declaring—w e give the very words of the article—" no armed force shall ever he introduced into it under any pretext whatever." At the same time however, they stipulated that " there shall not be given in the free city and territory of Cracow any asylum or protection to runaways, de serters, or persons pursued by the law, belonging to any one of the dominions of the said Powers ;" and it is, we presume, on this last clause of the article, that these Powers rely for a justification of their present conduct. But in answer to such miserable sophistry, we may observe that the clause in question does not say one word about a " forcible occupation ;" while, on the other hand, the preceding part of the article explicitly declares that no foreign troops shall be in troduced into Cracow " under any pretext whatever. Granting, however, that this free territory is bound to give up deserters and runaways, does that justify Russia and her sycophantic colleagues, in demanding the unconditional surrender of all who may happen to be obnoxious to them ? " It appeared," said Sir STRATFORD CANNING, " that four hundred men were brought to the Austrian frontier, and given up at an early stage of the transactions ; and that a large portion of them stood in the relations of husbands and fathers, and were established in business at Cracow." Even Lord PALMERSTON admitted this. " Many of the parties," observed his Lordship, " that the three Powers requested to be removed, had resided in Cracow a great number of years ; some of them had formed matrimonial connections there, and others had established themselves in business, and amassed for tunes." And yet these are the sort of men whom will be sure ery Russia—for o f course s h e i s t h e pr i me mover i n the business— requ i res to b e surren d ered i nto h er h ands as deserters an d runaways ," thus w i lfu ll y con f ounding them with f e l ons proscr ib e d b ylaw ! Was ever effrontery equal to thi s ? If F rance and England do not in stantly take up th e ' matter , an d i nsist on the with drawal insult witho f the w h invading this mosttroops, outrageousitieywiollnde eserve every to be followed up by Russia. We are no cla mourers for war. We have no desire to see the sword again drawn from its scabbard ; all we demand pro tection for the weak against the strong, and that the treaty of Vienna be scrupulously observed by all the the parties who consented to it. As we acted towards NicuoLAs, in the case of the Russian war, so do we insist that NICHOLAS shall act towards us, in the case of Cracow. If he refuse—as he most probably will— w h y , t h en, we say w ith M r . HUME—whose idea, by the bye, is an admirable one----" let what remains to be paid of the Loan be withheld, until satisfaction is obtained for the breach of the Treaty of V ienna ; or if it be paid, let it be paid to those unfortunate persons who have been turned out of Cracow. A determina tißn like this will soon bring the Northern Nero to his senses. He. may be deaf to the call of ho. nour, but his hearing will be quick enough, wh en once his interests are threatened. Lord PALMER STON'S reply to Sir STRATFORD CANNING WaS satisfactory, so far as it went—which is just as much as to say, that he left tile question pretty nearly where he found it. We do not gather from his observations more than that lie has written to the British Ministers at the Courts of the Contracting Powers to the Treaty ;" and that he will take the very first opportunity ---the answers having only arrived within a day or two-- o f laying the whole question before the House, and stating the Government's intentions on the subject.. Meantime—for Administrations, even the best, are but too apt to procrastinate—we trust, that neither ; Lord DUDLEY STUART, Mr. HUME, nor Si r STRATFORD CANNING will allow the question to rest ; but never cease to agitate it, till they I have compelled Ministers to hold a high hand towards Russia. To merely whisper a bland remon strance is to do nothing. NICHOLAS must be told in blunt, straightforward terms, that England is prepared to act as well as to talk. We have been in -sulted by this crowned Kalmuck long enough. Even in the case of Cracow, which Lord PALMERSTON himself admits is " every way unjustifiable," not the slightest hint of what was in contemplation has been given to us, although we equally, with the other Powers, were parties to the Treaty of Vienna, and, of course, can look on such silence as no other than a studied affront, resorted to by the CZAR, for the ex press purpose of showing in what utter contempt he holds the Government of this country. And, to say the truth, we have richly deserved his contempt. If we have not absolutely cringed, and bowed the knee to him, we have at least stood tremblingly aloof, with our eyes cast down, and our hands folded, while he tram pled on all the laws of nations ; set at nought all the dictates of humanity ; and laughed to scorn all the obligations, moral and divine, of Royalty. Look at Poland—look at Turkey—look at Persia—and now, again, look at Cracow ! Ought not the mere mention of these names to bring a blush into our cheeks ? Talk of our national spirit ! Where was it when the child was slaughtered at the mother's breast ; and the heroic Poles—whose only crime was their patriotism— were torn by thousands from their household hearths, and sent to wear out a wretched existence in the mines of Siberia ? Talk of our respect for our old allies ! Where was it when the Russian troops had passed the Balkan, and were all but at the gates of Constanti nople? The less credit JOHN BULL takes to himself for his conduct in these two cases, the better. If he have not absolutely betrayed Poland and Turkey, he has at least been the means of rivetting their chains. Still it is not too late to remedy the evil. Let Russia be once brought down to her proper level, and Turkey will soon rise to her's ; and even Poland, destitute and helpless as she now is, will not be without a hope of emancipation. We beg to call particular attention to the Report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the sys tem of Military Punishment, which will be found in another part of The Sun. Though greatly condensed in form, it will be found to contain the whole sub stance of a document not remarkable for either its per spicuity or its force. It will be seen that after what the Report calls " a most elaborate and searching inquiry, into the system of military punishment, the Co mmissioners come to the conclusion that corporal punish ment cannot be wholly dispensed with, although the num ber of such punishments may and ought to be dimi nished. This is at least one step towards the adoption of a more humane system. It is, as Mr. O'CONNELL would say, " the first instalment," and as such we receive it with thankfulness. But such fractional con cessions will not satisfy the country. The ar guments by which the Commissioners advocate the necessity of continuing military flogging are so lame, and defective in every respect, that we question whether any rational being would employ in defence of a system which he had not prejudged before inquiry. We shall return to this important subject on Monday, premising that we have always contended for the abo lition of military torture. Under no circumstances would we inflict upon soldiers a punishment which the law forbids to be inflicted upon refractory donkeys. • The humanity of the Tories when in Opposition is really wonderful. It will be seen from the debate in the House of Lords last night, that the Earl of ABERDEEN, in moving for some papers relative to the war in Spain,' made an appeal to the House of so pathetic a character, as almost to draw tears from the Marquis of LONDONDERRY. Such an appeal was irresistible, and of course the motion was agreed to by the Government. Bungay St. Mary and Ecclesiastical oppression are inseparably associated in the public mind. The atro cious cruelty exercised by the Church authorities of that parish towards Mr. CIIILDS last year, and the renewed auempt which the same parties are now mak ing to uphold the honour of the Establishment by similar proceedings, in defiance of public opinion, as well as of decency and common sense, have given Bungay a notoriety, if not a celebrity, suc h as no other place in the kingdom can boast of. There are parishes, however, in the priest-ridden county of Essex, in which the genuine spirit of Bungayism has of late displayed itself to such a degree, that it may admit of some doubt whether they do not deserve to be put on a par with their great prototype. At all events this may safely be averred—that if Bungay occupy the first rank, Harwich is clearly entitled to the second. The ecclesiastical doings in this purest of boroughs have in a great measure escaped the notice of the public. We shall, therefore, endeavour to supply such information as has reached us on the subject. It appears, then, that in 1820 an Act of Parliament was obtained, empowering the Churchwardens to build a new Church, without, the consent of the parishio ners. This clerical embellishment cost the rate , payers of Harwich only twenty thousand pounds— a small snm, no doubt, when the great object of public utility is considered, but a large .one to the trades men o f a rap idl y d ec li n i ng sea -p or t. The rates necessary to pay the annual interest of the debt, were felt as a great b ur d en b y t h e i n h a bi tants, b ut t h ey were submitt e d to unt il a b out a year an d a h a lf ago , w h en a sixp enny rate was substituted by the Vestry for the shilling one proposed by the Churchwardens, who had at the time a surplus in hand more than adequate to the purpose for which they pretended the rate was wanted. In spite, however, of the decision of the Vestry, the Churchwardens persisted in levying the shilling rate—distrained the g oo d s o f t h ose w h o wou ld not pay and brought actions against the opposing parties on the most frivolous pretexts, some of which, after the defendants had been brought fromHarwich to Chelmsford —a distance of forty-four miles—with all their wit nesses, and thus put to a heavy expence, were aban doned, while in others the defendants were acquitted-- in all of them the prosecutors were defeated. This is a brief sketch of the proceedings, and it will sufficiently show their malignant and persecuting character. Mr. MATTHEW JOHNSON has been singled out by the Church party as the object of their envenomed hostility. This Gentleman has been subjected to grey texpense in defending the public cause, and we trust he will not be left to defray this out of his own re sources. We have received Madrid papers to the 9th inst. The Gazette of that day, which was not published when the estafette left the capital, was to have con tained the details of the victory obtained by the Chris tinos over the Carlists, near Orduna, on the 6th, of which some particulars are stated in our article from the French Journals. The Royal decree for the sup pression of all the monastic establishments, and the appropriation of their property to State purposes, has been published. We have received a file of the Jamaica Dispatch to the 16th ult. inclusive. In that j o urnal of the 15th, we find th e re p or t o f the Committee appointed by the House of Assembly to inquire into the al ledged breach of privilege committed by. his Excel lency the Marquis of Sres:), with respect to his message relative to the " Five Years' Police Bill." We subjoin the substance of this document, which con tains the gravest charges against the Supreme Govern ment, the Parliament, and the people of England. We regret the use of language which is Calculate rather to irritate than to soothe—to widen breaches than to close them. No good can come of this incessant re currence to recriminative charges ; the more especially as they must of necessity produce very different impres sions on the public mind here, from what the inha bitants of Jamaica anticipate from them. Besides, it is absurd to expect that Parliament will delegate to men who violently opposed the passing of the Eman cipation Act, the duty of carrying its provisions into operation. This is a truth which the common sense of the Colonial Legislature ought to present to the mind of its members. Had the proposition for the abolition of .slavery emanated from the House of As sembly, or had its members supported it when mooted by . the abolitionists in Parliament, they might justly claim the privilege of carrying the law into effect ; but having so violently opposed that measure having so repeatedly indulged in prophecies that it would be pro ductive of the most fatal consequences—the Govern ment does right in distrusting the motives which prompt their desire of interference. It is dangerous to entrust men with the power of verifying their own evil predictions ; and we greatly fear that the case of the Jamaica planters would prove anything but an ex ception to the general soundness of this moral axiom. Upon the merits of the question in dispute between the Marquis of SLIGO and the Jamaica Legislature, we will pronounce no opinion. Our only desire is to promote harmony between the colony and the mother country. We can make great allowance for irritation on the part of the planters, and we trust the supreme 'Government will step in as a mediator rather than as a party in the quarrel : REPORT. • The House deeply regret that his Excellency should have felt himself compelled, by his instructions, to send down to the House a message, little calculated to promote that confi dence and unanimity between the colony and parent state, which, at a crisis like the present, are, on every account, so much to be desired. His Excellency expresses his regret and disappointment, that all his efforts to induce the House to pass a Police Bill co-existent with the apprenticeship; should have proved inef fectual. The House regret, in common with his Excellency, that any misunderstanding should have been occasioned by their declining to comply with an application, the utility or ob ject of which they were unable to discover, and in support of which application no other reason had been assigned than that such was the desire of the English Government. But setting aside all other considerations, the House can see no good rea son why they should not be left to themselves, who are most deeply interested in the peace and well-being of the colony, to provide for their own safety and protection. The House would gladly avoid entering into a retro spective detail of the occurrences of the four last disastrous years, feeling, as they do, how little good can result from recrimination between the Colony and the Parent State ; but when the British G,pvernment gravely puts ,forward a claim to the gratitude of a class of his Majesty's subjects, whose property has been nominally paid for, but substan tially confiscated ; and when this claim, so ill founded, is daily reiterated as an excuse for further aggression, the House owe it to themselves, and to their constituents, not only to deny the acknowledgment of obligation, but most so lemnly and distinctly to declare their sense of a continued succession of injuries, aggravated by misrepresentation and calumny, and consummated by an act of the most unparal leled spoliation ever committed by the Government of any country, upon its own subjects. Of the measures which have been enumerated in the Mes sage, the two first—the loan of 500,0001., and the exemption from the military supplies, may be classed together as having originated in one cause—the unfortunate rebellion of the slaves in this island in 1831 and 1832. That rebellion and its con sequent calamities were the indirect act of the British Par liament : they arose out of its continued and violent agitation of the slavery question, precipitated by the indiscreet conduct of emissaries of the Anti-Slavery Society, whom Govern ment tacitly countenanced and supported. The amount of sacrifice submitted to by the British people to abolish slavery in this island, amounted to the large sum of six millions of pounds, but was not felt by any individual, or class of individuals. Not so to the colonists ; to them the sacrifice was entirely of a personal nature, and so severely and generally felt, as to press down the circumstances of almost every family in the island, the rich and the poor. They re ceive for the property wrested from them, a sum equal to the income it gave them in twelve or eighteen months, and this they are told is compensation ; this the unparalleled act of libe rality for which gratitude is due The House are fully sensible that the Abolition Act of this Colony was passed in an extremely imperfect state, although not in the sense conveyed by the Colonial Secretary. It was hurried through the House to meet the anxious wishes of his Majesty's then representatitive; and under a solemn assurance from him, that if the House gave effect in their Abolition Law to the principle of the British Act, his Majesty's Go vernment would be disposed to place the most candid and libe ral construction upon any supplemental acts that might be found necessary, provided they bore upon the face of them a real and sincere desire to act up to the spirit and intention of the British Parliament and people. The House, placing faith in these assurances, coming, as they did, from the King's Representative, acted upon them and, conse quently, passed the Aboliticn Act, without that due consi deration which a measure of such vital importance required. They afterwards proceeded as had been recommended to them, to pass supplemental Bills, with the most sincere desire to act up to the spirit and intention of the British Act; but instead of finding that candid and liberal construction given to their enactments, which had been so solemnly pledged, they refer with deep regret to his Excellency Lord Sligo's despatch of the 11th March to Lord Glenelg, and the answer of the latter thereto, dated 31st June last, as showing upon the face of them the most uncandid and illiberal construction of the inten tions of the House. In these proceedings of the home Go vernment, the House have witnessed with unfeigned sorrow a direct breach of _good faith with the local legislature, aggra vated in its character by unjust and unmeritedimputations. The legislative functions of the House thus fettered, may be considered as in a manner suspended, in all that emphatically concerns the internal peace, safety, and prosperity of the colony. The British Parliament, in passing the Abolition Act, distinctly declared its inability to deal with the details of that measure ; and not only gave authority to the colonial le gislatures to provide these details, but made that duty impera tive upon them, as the condition upon which alone compensa tion was to be granted. Yet, no sooner do the House attempt to provide such regulations, than they are accused of trespass ing on the rights and privileges of the apprentices. The House cannot, in justice to themselves or to their con stituents, conclude this Report without expressing their regret and astonishment at the unmerited imputations which are cast upon the inhabitants of the colony in the papers laid before Parliament. Those documents represent the - whole of the difficulties which have attended the working of the new system as having originated not in the ignorance, indolence, or per verseness of the manumitted slaves, but in their oppressive, cruel, and vexatious treatment by the white people, and that on them alone will rest the blame if the system fails. The House will not trust themselves to comment upon charges so unjust and ungenerous, proceeding as they do from the highest official authority in the colony. The House, in thus stating their grievances and deep sense of the dangers that impend over the colony, need scarcely add, that in the result of the great emancipation experiment, none are so deeply interested as-the resident Colonists. To them, therefore, should its management be left—not in the spirit of distrust and suspicion, but in the fullest confidence that their most anxious and unremitting exertions will be devoted to se cure its successful accomplishment. The whole of the Paris Papers of Thursday have been received. They bring no news of any impor tance, with the exception of some correspondence from the Spanish frontier, announcing the defeat of the Carlists in three actions, the first on the 6th, the second on the 9th, and the third on the 12th inst. In the first of these engagements the Carlists had 600 men killed and 200 wounded. The French Journals state that Don CARLOS has prevailed upon his friends the money markets of Europe to advance him a loan of 120,000,000 francs, at the rate of 36 francs per 100 stock. We do not credit a syllable of this report. It is manifestly a gross fabrication, intended to create a re-action against the rise in the approved Spanish securities. In the sitting of Wednesday, the Chamber of De puties received the Report of the Committee of Pri vileges, upon the petition of two merchants, who prayed to be allowed to arrest M. AUDRY ➢E PUYRA VEAU, a Deputy, for debt. The Committee decided against the petitioners, and their prayer was accord ingly rejected by the Chamber. The Messager, which we have just received, contains a long account of a plot discovered in the Isle of Bourbon, one object of which was to blow up the Royal College, by means of gunpowder, and to massacre the authorities. It origi nated with some obscure individuals, but the activity of the police prevented it from being carried into ef fect. A great number of suspected individuals have been arrested.

The case of the petitioners upon the ques tion of paving tax having closed yesterday, another class of objections was proceeded with to-day. The one taken was that for the non'-payment of the watch tax, which was ad mitted, by Mr. Austen, to be a ,municipal rate within the meaning of the - Act. The vote of William Nowlan, who, it appeared, was more than six months in arrear for this tax, at the time of the election, was proposed to be struck off. A preliminary objection to the receipt of the evidence applying to this case was taken by Mr. Austen, and was under dis cussion when our reporter left. SHIPPING.—(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.)

We have also a mail from the Leeward Islands by the Linnet; sailed from St. Thomas on the 22d of February. The Jamaica Watchman to the 14th February, and Deme rara papers to the 23d Jan., with the New Orleans Ptice Cur rent to the 14th February, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The Jamaica papers state that the Bahama Assembly was ill session, and that everything was going on smoothly and agreeably. The Lieutenant-Governor had called the attention of tb° Assembly to the necessity of offering a premium in favour el the first contract for a steam vessel, and he seems to have no doubt that the navigation between these islands by steam ves sels may be accomplished through private enterprise. The New Orleans Price Current has the following com mercial remarks :—" We are again under the neces sity of repeating that the market continues without animation. Indeed, we have seldom in the course of our inquiries found so little diversity of opinion as to the state of the business. keeping the season in view, as during the present week. This dullness may be accounted for in consequence of the river's above being blocked with ice, or the navigation otherwise ob structed, which prevents the arrival of a great number of boats. Another reason is the high price, almost without exception, of all the leading articles in the market, which greatly checks the disposition to purchase. The Mississippi is 4 feet below high water mark. The weather this week has been clear, and 0 pleasant as could be desired.
