(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.) The next horse in the Derby I am bounl to not ice is Mr. Mostyn's Pantasa, by Piccaroon, out of Acanthus. This animal has a great many friends in Cheshire and the neigh bouring counties, who say that he is wonderfully improved in form since he ran last year. His doings are as follow : At the Ascot Meeting last year he ran second to Old Eng land. At Liverpool he won the Mersey Stakes, beating by a length Bretwalda, Hope, Ann Page, Pluto, Miss Elis, Somers, Jinglepot, Pickpocket, filly by the Saddler, out of Fickle, Helmsman, and Lass of Gowrie. At the York August Meeting, carrying albs. extra, he ran second to Lancashire Witch; and at Doncaster, for the Champagne, he ran fifth to the Lancashire Witch. The success of Milton and Ala mode at Chester is certainly encouraging to his friends, who, I have no doubt, will place him still higher in the market. He i 3 in the hands of Blinkhorn, one of the best country trainers in England, who has trained for Mr. Mostyn for years, and won for him the Oaks and St. Leger with the Queen of Trumps. Old Tommy Lye will ride him, and no doubt make the most of him. If any of my readers may have drawn Pantasa in a sweep, I recommend them not to part with him. The winter favourite, Alarm, from his position in the bet ting, I shall now attend to. Alarm is a bay colt by Venison, out of Southdown, by Defence, out of Feltona, formerly the property of Captain Delme, who, after his race for the Cham pagne Stakes at the Bibury Club Meeting, in which he beat by a length Winchester, Lady Wildair, Nutbourne, andiEgis, sold him for a long figure to Mr. C. Greville. From the mere fact of his winning this race, and being purchased by so celebrated a judge as Mr. Greville, Alarm became first favourite for the Derby, and remained in that distinguished place of honour until the commencement of the Craven Meeting, when he was dethroned by Ides, and The Libel's success at Chester made him succumb to that horse also. Mr. Greville and his party still stick to him, and his being matched against Old England for 500 soya. would infer that their confidence was not impaired. He has been trained by Dilly, at Littleton, near Winchester, until the beginning of March, when for some reason he was sent to Newmarket, where he still remains. Mr. Forth, from his great experience as a trainer, always has some horse in his lot well supported, and this year the public seem to think the best to be Doleful, but whether he is the real Simon Pure I am not prepared to say, as it is about as difficult a task to discover what is going on in the Mitchel-grove stable as it is to learn when the national debt will be paid off. Many of my readers will no doubt recollect the Derby of 1840. The public and Mr. Forth (ostensibly) backed the Solace colt, while, in reality, all the veteran trainer's money was on the Little Wonder, who, to the wonder of every one except his, backers, won easily. Doleful is by Slane, out of Frederica, and to his blood nobody can object. Slane, it will be remembered, is by Royal Oak, and highly distin guished himself as a racer, winning, amongst other valuable stakes, the Waterloo Shield, at Goodwood. Frederica is the dam of Cobham and other good horses. He has never yet started. He will, I vouch, be brought to the post in better condition than any horse in the race, and exceedingly well ridden by Bell, with whose merits as the jockey of Foig-a-Ballagh every body is acquainted. I now come to the outside division, as they may be termed, from nothing less than 40 to 1 being offered against them. I shall commence this lot with Clear-the-way. This horse, by some very clever management of the Irish forces, actually reached 15 to 1 in the betting; but this stratagem was so quickly discovered, that he soon retrograded, and was pep pered so unmercifully by the great guns of the ring, that he got back to his old place, 40 to 1. He is got by the cele bi ated Harkaway. out of Taglioni, a mare well-known on the Irish turf. His doings are very moderate, having only started three times as a two-years old at the Curragh, where he was beaten twice by Old Ireland. He subsequently, how ever, won the Paget Stakes, beating Singaway, the Conquest colt, and Vortex. But of this feat I think very little. Clear the-way is trained by Mr. Irwiu's private trainer, Murray, and will if he goes, which is rather doubtful, be ridden by young Murphy, the rider of Retriever in all his races. Mr. Cole man's Young Eclipse will, I think, tarn out to be as good as his Jamal, about which there was so much mystery and talk the year before last. He is by Elis out of Corrigie Bagh, has never started but once, and then got well beaten by Old England and Pantasa—l mean for the New Stake at Ascot. He has been extensively patronised by that class of specula tors, whose five and ten pound notes annually swell to a great extent the pockets of the bookmakers. Until within the last week he has been trained by Coleman, but has now been transferred to Kent, at Goodwood, to see what that skilful artiste can make of him. Yesterday, at Tattersall's, I saw a great disposition to back him at 100 to 1. He will be ridden, most likely, by young Coleman. Lord Glasgow has in the race, it will be scarcely credited, something, very nearly approaching to a racehorse—l mean the colt by Bay Middleton out of Miss Whip. But with his Lordship's usual luck this colt, although he started four times last year, could only contrive to win once, when he beat Hersey at the Houghton Meeting, giving her 31bs. He has not started this year, but I understand he is much im proved, and likely to run honestly. The races in which he was beaten last year were the Ham, at Goodwood, the Criterion, at Newmarket, and a match with Pam, at Don caster. Holmes will, I fancy, ride him. The Ironmaster by Bran, out of the Prime Warden's darn, whose right to start will, in all probability, be determined this afternoon, is a very fine colt, the property of Mr. Hill, the owner of The Libel. He has only started once at the Chester October Meeting, where he won the Mostyn Stakes in a canter, beating Master Stepney, Alvanley, Miracle, and colt by Lord Stafford. He has recently been removed, I under stand, from his old training ground to Goodwood. Should he be allowed to start I think he will be a much better favourite. Lord Verulam's Maynooth, by Sir Hercules, out of Chris tina, has only once made his appearance in public, when at the Newmarket First Spring he wen a sweepstakes across the Flat, beating Tunic and colt by Grand Duke, out of Miss Julia. lie is engaged at Gorhambury to-morrow, and, should he win, will of course assume a higher place in the betting. Columbus, Adonis, Mentor, and Newsmonger have never started. Colonel Peel's colt, by Slane, out of Cobweb, started once last year at Goodwood for the Ham Stakes, and was beaten by Winchilsea, who beat him again this year easily for the Riddlesworth. He was backed for a good deal of money in the winter, but has now gone quite out of favour. I should hardly think he would go. I consider Jinglepot to be one of the best outsiders in the race. He started three times last year, and won twice. Pan tasa beat him for the Mersey Stakes at Liverpool, to which defeat I consider his beating Sir Henry, The Helmsman, Pythia, Punjaub, Extravaganza, and filly by Muley Moloch, out of Young Mary, at Richmond, and at Northallerton Co mical Boy, Alice Gray, Pluto, and filly by Sheet Anchor, out of Valerian,. a quite sufficient set-off. His merits, I imagine, will be tried with Pagan, by no means a bad trial horse. They lay 50 to 1 against him now, but will not do so, I think, at starting. Templeman will have charge of him in the race. Mr. Lintott's Cabin Boy has a small party, whl are not often wrong, and who stick to him with a pertinacity and devotion worthy of a better cause. He started three times last year without success, on account of his not being sufficiently prepared, at least so his friends' assert. And, this year, with sst. 41b., and 81b. extra, he was defeated by Sweatmeat for the Somerset Stakes. Im mense sums have been laid against this horse, and should he win, some of the bookmakers will look very queer. It should be borne in mind that horses quite as bad favourites as Cabin Boy have won the Derby before now, and I cannot imagine why, if he is so bad as some represent him to be, his party should still remain by him. They were not far out when they selected Gorhambury to stand upon in Cotherstone's year. Cabin Boy is trained by Roe, at Crawley. The Metropolitan Goodwood, as the Gorhambury Meeting has not been inaptly termed, commences to-morrow, and will afford five races each day. The vicinity of Gorhambury to London, the beauty of the park in which the races are held, and the excellent manageme n t w hi c h c h arac t er i ses t h em, a ll tend to make this a delightful place of resort. To the Gor hambury Stakes there are 34 subscriber and 18 acceptances. Had not Godfrey been running at Eglinton Park last week, I should have fancied his chance by no means a bad one; but I am afraid his two races there, in one of which he beat Aristi les, and in the other was beaten by him, will prevent his showing here. Millipede is very well in, and should run well, as likewise Philip. The Queen of Tyne would prefer the distance to be half-a-mile shorter, and the weight will tell against Best Bower. Fitzallen will, of course, have friends ; but, after the Chester defeats, will, I opine, be rather too sore to ran forward. lam prepared therefore to see either Millepede or Philip win this race, with the Christina filly close to them. Mr. Dawson with Crim-con will be first or second for the Pras Stakes. The Brigade Stakes, in all probability, will go either to Captain Oliver or Mr. Willan. I say this, because they are by far the best jockies qualified to ride in this race. Lord Verulam's Christina colt, with 41b. extra, will in the Double-headed Oak Stakes meet Fitzallen and a good field, and beat them. Lord G. Bentinck's Cherokee will have no difficulty after his winnings at Northampton to put the Park Stakes into the pocket of his noble owner—at least, such is the opinion of TELEGRAPH. London, May 19.

Stß,—Having with much surprise read, in your paper of Saturday, that I had, on the previous day, met with a seri ous accident in Bridge-street, by being thrown from a gig, I beg to state that I was not near Bridge-street on that day, neither have I, thank God, me t w ith an y suc h accident. I must, therefore, request you will give the earliest contradic tion to it, as it must have emanated from some evil-disposed persons, from motives best known to themselves. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Windmill -street, Haymarket, May 19. W. WINCH. [The paragraph alluded. to was copied from a M orn i ng Con temporary. —ED. Sun.] XTRAORDINART FEAT OF PEDESTRIANISM.—This morning a novel feat of pedestrianism was performed by Molloy (the well-known pedestrian), who was matched to run over the seven bridges, and round the inclosure in St. James's Park, within 70 minutes from the time of starting. The match was for 101. aside. An immense number of spec tators were present at the start, which was effected on the Middlesex side of Vauxhall-bridge. Molloy was quickly on the Surrey side, and then proceeded over Westminster-bridge to Storey's- gate, into St. James's Park, and rattled round the enclosure with great expedition, and then made for Hunger ford Suspension-bridge, and over Waterloo. He had slow occupied 31 minutes. He partook of some refreshment, and manifested great confidence as to his success, and in half a minute he recommenced his herculean undertaking, and wended his way to Blackfriars-bridge, which he soon got over, and was quickly upon Southwark-bridge. He then made for London-bridge, which he ran over in perfect ease, and concluded his task on the Surrey side, winning the match by 15 minutes. The distance of ground covered by Molloy, in the course of his match, is computed at 7 miles and three- ' quarters, which he accomplished in 55 minutes, and consider ing the uneven and rough travelling, the completion of such a feat is exceedingly surprising. MA&YLEBONE VESTRY.—Last Saturday it was re solved, upon the motion of Mr. Nelson, to adopt measures to remove the barrier erected in the New-road, from Lisson grove to Harewood-square, and which closed up the car riage way en the public. This barrier has been, it was understood, placed by the Duke of Portland on the same principle, and for the same objeet, that gates and barriers are built in the neighbourhood of Russell-square. Sir Peter Laurie expressed a hope that every opportunity would be seized to do away with such obstructions, as they are not only illegal, but greatly deteriorated property in their vicinity. Sir James Hamilton and Mr. Etliut, M.P., stated that it was the determination of the visiting justices to improve the dietary of the Clerkenwell House of Correction and the Bridewell, Westminster, which change, they said, was ap proved of at the suggestion of medical men, and would in crease the annual expenditure of these prisons 3101. a-year. Sir Peter Laurie and Mr. Laurie expressed their deter mination to oppose this change in the dietary, as it was uncalled for, as was proved by the healthful condition of the prisoners. Mr. Nicolay stated that thirty gentlemen and merchants had attended the Old Bailey last week to give evidence of the high character for honour of Mr. Meyer, who was charged with an assault upon Mr. M'Lean, who had seduced the unfortunate gentleman's daughter, the niece of her seducer. He hoped that Sir James Graham would be: reminded of his promise to see justice done that injured gentleman, as the bill against him had been ignored. The rector and other vestrymen suggested the propriety of allowing the Home Secretary time to adopt such measures as he might deem advisable. At all events, they thought a week should elapse before they addressed the Home Secretary upon the subject. If he did nct act in that time, they might then call zipon him to fulfil his pro mise. Mr. Nicolay acquiesced in the suggestion, and the subject dropped. SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF SWINDI.ERS.—.OII Friday last a very respectably dresssed lad, between fifteen and six teen years of age, named Thomas Russell, was again exa mined, on a charge of attempting to pass a large quantity of counterfeit coin at Stoke. Upon being searched, when ap prehended, 21 counterfeit half-crowns, and 20 counterfeit shillings were found upon him, besides nearly a pound's worth of good money. In his coat pocket was discovered the slips of tissue paper in which the counterfeit coin had been wrapped. Mr. Powell, the solicitor to the Mint, who at tended on Friday, pronounced the coins to be counterfeit, and of " Westminster manufacture." It having been sus pected that he was connected with a gang of London swindlers, who have been defrauding the wholesale houses, in the Manchester and silk trades, to a very con siderable extent, a communication to this effect was made to the parties who had been thus swindled, and gentle men representing Messrs. Morrison and Co. ' of Fore-street, and Messrs. Leaf and Co., attended at Eton. Upon seeing the prisoner they had no doubt that he was the same person (evidently in the hands of older offenders) who had swindled them out of goods by means of forged orders, to the extent of upwards of 1001. The prisoner was subse quently conveyed to London, for the purpose of his pointing out the parties with whom he had been so nefariously con nected ; and the same afternoon, and shortly after his arrival in the metropolis, three men, named Long, Simpson, and Barnett, were apprehended. It may be well to mention the plan pursued, in the case of Messrs. Morrison, by this gang of swindlers. The prisoner Russell went to the shop of Mr. Alison, in Regent-street, and purchased a pair of gloves. On paying for them he asked for a bill, on which the price, &c., was written, as usual, in pencil. The bill, as is always the case, had printed on it the name, address, &c., of the shop. The pencil-marks were then obliterated, and an order, as coming from Mr. Alison, for silk goods (as speci fied), to be " sent by the bearer," was written on the printed bill, and taken by Russell to Messrs. Morrison's, who de livered property of the value of between 701. and 801. "to the bearer," without the least suspicion being excited at the time; the printed heading on the shop bill, on which the order was written, naturally inducing the warehouse man at Messrs. Morrison's to suppose that the document was genuine. ACCIDENT TO THE HON. P. S. PIERREPOINT.— We have much pleasure in stating that the Hon. P. S. Pierre point, who had a severe fall from his horse in Piccadilly, on the Ist instant, by which his ancle was seriously hurt, is re covering as satisfactorily as the nature of the injury will admit. DAY MAIL TO AND FROM CHELMSFORD•—The postmaster of this town has received intimation from the General Post-office that from and after Monday, the 19th inst., a bag will be made up at Chelmsford for London only, and one will be received here from London by a day mail. The train up will arrive at Chelmsford at 54 min. past 11 A.SL, and the down train at 12 min. past 12 P.M. The trains carrying the day mail will be dispatched simultaneously from London and Colchester at 11 A.M. Letters to be posted here by 20 min. to 12, and will be receivable eight minutes later for an extra penny. They will be delivered about half-past 12. The free delivery is at the same time to be extended to many parts ofthe town in which letters have been chargeable beyond the postage.—Chelmsford Chronicle. THE BRAZILS.—The Penguin packet, Lieutenant Leslie, commander, has this moment arrived from Rio de Janeiro with the Brazilian mails direct, having sailed on the 2d ult. She brings on freight about 30,0001. in gold and other treasure, and, including children and minors, 35 pas sengers. This vessel brings no political news of importance. The exchange was 24 3 Ad. to 24%d., and a great deal of busi ness had been done at the latter quotation. The stoeks of coffee on hand were small, and the advices by the Swift packet (which had arrived out) being very favourable, prices had advanced. The infant son of the Emperor was baptised on the 25th of March, and named Alphonzo Pedro, &c. The King of France and the ex-Empress of Brazil stood sponsors, the former being represented by the Prime Minister of the country. Her Majesty's steamer Firebrand had arrived at Rio on the 31st of March, on her way to the River Plate, with Mr. Ousely Gore, and remained with her Majesty's ships -Alfred, Crescent, and Swift packet. The American men-of war Raritan and Bainbridge, and French De Pan dour and Ambuscade, were also at Rio. The will of the Marquis of Westminster has just been proved. The personal estate in England, and within the province of Canterbury, is sworn under 350,0001. He bequeaths to his wife an annuity of 6,500/., in addition to her property under settlement. His estates at Westminster and the manor of Ebury are bequeathed to his eldest son, the present Marquis ; his estates in Chester, Flint, and Den bigh, as well as the presentation to the rectory of Prestwich, Lancaster, to his son, Thomas, Earl of Wilton ; his Moor-park estate, and a legacy of 170,0001., to his son, Lord Robert Grosvenor. He leaves the pictures, &c., in the ga ll ery and elsewhere, at Grosvenor-house, together with the N assuc k ingdiamond, s weighing wei 2 weighing g 3 grains, grains, the magnifi cen t b r illi ant ear.• rings, sins, and the round brilliant, weigh ing 125 grains, as heir-looms. Also the pictures at Eaton hall, as heir• looms with that property.

It is not " music married to immortal verse," but immortal verse married to equally immortal art. It is the first number of a series of beautiful engravings, from the burin of Finden, illustrative of th e b eaut i es of the British Poets, and Moore is chosen as the first poet for illustration. A happy choice ; for Moore is al most the last of the band of immortals who is yet left to us. As a title, we have a beautiful and valu able portrait of the poet—valuable not only as a work of art, but as a most characteristic and spirited portrait. We have then a beautiful illustration of the song, " Black and Blue Eyes," the characteristic expression of the " Brilliant black eye, Which in triumph lets fly Its darts without caring who heeds them ;" contrasted with • " The soft eye of blue, Which scatters wounds too; But is much better pleased when it heals them,' is admirably presented. The illustration is accom panied by a critique on the song in which the writer almost appears willing to join issue with the poet. We, however, like good Catholics, eschew all such heresies, and steadily adhere to the good Catholic creed of the good Catholic poet. St. Jerome's Love is the subject of the next illustration, and the artist, H. O'Neil, has been thoroughly imbued by the spirit of the poet. It is a study for a Magdalen. The next illustration is Young Kitty, the heroine of the song of " 11l Omens " As she looked in the glass, which a woman ne'er misses, Nor ever wants time for a sly glance or two, A butterfly fresh from the night-flower's kisses, Flew over the mirror and shaded her view. Enraged with the insect for hiding her graces, She brushed him—he fell, alas! never to rise; Ab, such, said the girl, is the pride of our faces, In which the soul's innocence too often dies. The artist, J. Wright, has made a most beautiful picture of this. The butterfly lies dead on the table, and the girl's features have a mingled expression of coquetry and sorrow, which is beautifully executed. The last illustration, " Laughing Eyes," by Frith, is most characteristic. There is something perfectly bewitching about the lovely girl, to whose laughing eyes the poet calls upon us to drink a round. This is " the illustrated book" of the season, nhd no draw ing-room'or boudoir can be considered altogether comme it faut, on the table of which " Finden's Beauties of the Poets" is not to be found. AMERICAN FACTS. By George Palmer Potation. This is a very valuable work on the statistics of America, replete with facts, which at the presiait time, especially, are of very general interest. It is in fact a resume of the social, financial, politi ca l, military, and naval condition of the several republics constituting the United States. The compiler exhibits great industry and research, and defends his countrymen stoutly against the accusations brought against them. With regard to the existence of slavery in the States, we believe it is admitted on all hands, that that is rather their misfortune than their fault. England certainly is guilty of having intro duced negro slavery into North America. For "repu diation," however, the North Americans are solely responsible—on the principle of audi alteram pa r t em , we give the author's explanation TIII - 4] RETALIATORY MEASURES OP BRAZIL. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Mr. Macaulay very justly predicted that the un justifiable_ conduct and aggravating language made use of in- the House of Commons respecting Brazil, would produce nothing but irritation and recrimina tion on her part, and such has really been the case. We have sought to obtain by coercion what we could have much sooner and better obtained by conciliation. In addition to the proposed differential duty on our cotton manufactures, the Government of Brazil have done away with the right of search and the mixed Commissions established by the treaties between this country and Portugal in 1815 and 1817, and by that of 1826 between England and Brazil. A separate article to the treaty of 1817, adopted by Brazil; runs thus : "As soon as the total abolition of the slave trade, for the subjects of the Crown of Portugal, shall have taken place, the two high contracting parties hereby agree, by common consent, to adapt to that state of circumstances the stipulations of the conditional convention concluded at London the- 28th of July last ; but in default of such alterations, the additional convention of that date shall remain in force until the expiration of 15 years from the day on which the general abolition of the slave trade shall so take place, on the part of the Portuguese Go vernment. " The present separate article shall have the same force and validity as if it were inserted, word for word, in the additional convention aforesaid. It shall be rati tied, and the ratifications shall be exchanged as soon as possible. "- In witness whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the same, and have hereunto affixed the seal of their arms. " Done at London, this llth of September, 1817. (Signed) " CASTLEREAGH. (LS.) " CONDE DE PALM ELLA. (L.S.)" . The original of this separate article in the Portu guese language says, " Mas quando nao sega posei vel concordan em outro ajuste," which is translated above, " but in default of such alterations ;" whereas it should have been, " but in case it shall not be possible to come to any other arrangement," which bears a very different meaning. However, the facts are, that i n 1817 a conven ti on was entered into by the British and Portuguese Sove reigns for the abolition of the slave trade as then carried on ; but such suppression was limited to the coast of Africa, north of the equator, full liberty being given to its continuance on the south of the line. In 1823 the British Government obtained from that of Portugal some further concessions, which it is not necessary for our purpose to recite. In 1826 the Government at Brazil, anxious to put an end to the slave trade, entered into a convention with our Government, on the 23d of November, pledging Brazil to the observance, not only of all the previous treaties and conventions the mother country had entered into, but further to the abolition of the slave trade along the whole coast of Africa. And in conformity with this pledge, a law was passed on the 11th of November, 1831, prohibiting the importation of slaves into the empire, and exacting penalties and punishments for any infraction thereof —this law continues in force ;—thus the condition imposed by the separate article was fulfilled; and as no further arrangement took place for adapting the stipula tions of the additional convention of the 28th July, 1817, to the state of circumstances arising out of this total abolition, effected by the treaty of 1826, of course the additional convention of 1817 would cease and de termine in fifteen years from the date such total abolition took place, which was on the 23d November, 1829, three years having been allowed from the date of the treaty, for vessels engaged in the traffic to the south of the line to wind up their affairs, and return to a port in Brazil. In consequence of the expiration of the fifteen years, all the stipulations in the conventions of 1815 and 1817 are become null and void, of course the right of search conceded in the last of those conventions, to• gether with the functions of the mixed commissions, cease and determine ; but the law of Brazil, for the suppression of the trade and punishment cf the offenders, remains in full force and vigour, the Govern ment having already issued orders to all the presi dents of the provinces situated on the coast, and to the commanders of the ships of war employed as " guarda costas ' " to enforce its enac t men t s . The right of search was conceded by Portugal— without due Affection, perhaps—at a time when she had received great benefit from the exertions of our armies and from the assistance afforded her by our treasury, but she has since given proofs of repentance at having conceded that point, whilst France and the United States have resisted all our solicitations and attempts to prevail on them to accede thereto. Why should we wish to impose on less powerful states conditions we cannot obtain from those our equals ? The slave trade has been falling off in Brazil over since the year 1838, as is proved by the returns lately laid on the tables of the house of Lords and that of the Commons; it is not, therefore, likely that the landed proprietors of Brazil have been obliged to mort gage their estates (as our West India merchants have been compelled to do) in order to procure labourers —consequently cannot be under the controul nor in fluence of slave-dealers—still less likely is it that the Government of Brazil should be truckling to them, at the same time that they are taking every practica ble measure, without submitting to foreign dictation or interference, for putting down the traffic, of which they have always expressed the greatest abhorrence. How should we have felt, if, during the continuance of our slave trade, any other country or countries had prohibited our sugars, and threatened our seamen employed in it with being treated by them as pirates, and hung up to the yard-arm ? How should we feel it the representatives of our sovereign at foreign courts had been stigmatized as the abettors and encouragers of that traffic ? If we have ene law for the rich and another for the poor amongst ourselves, that is no reason why we should have one law for the weak and another for the strong, in respect to foreign countries. Justice demands that we should treat them all alike; or, if we made any distinction, it should be in favour of such as are our best customers, and who act most honour ably in their pecuniary engagements with us. Brazil now stands in the same position with re spect to the right of search as the United States. Our cruisers have no more right now to board a Brazilian than an American merchant vessel. Then how is it to be ascertained that either is engaged in the slave trade ? And, without ascertaining that point, how can the vessels of either of those Powers be treated as pirates ? It must be left to their own Govern ments to inflict any punishment or penalties incurred. rA tra LI ngdi A Y CF NEWS AND Vubitt " WhO 7 . 1111 S may read." roxtzrziv. On Thursday afternoon the King of the French, the Queen, and Madame Adelaide, went from Neuilly to the Trianon, is here the Duchess of Orleans had arrived in the morning with the Duke of Saxe-Weimar, to view the palace and gar dens of Versailles. A grand dinner was given at the Trianon, followed by the play of the Desert air, performed by the coth pany of the Opera Comique. At the conclusion of the per formance, their Majesties, the Princess Adelaide, and the Duke of Saxe-Weimar, returned to Neuilly, where the Duchess of Orleans had preceded them in the earlier part of the evening. The Mankeim Journal gives the following extract of a letter from Coburg, dated May 11 :—" An English courier, who arrived here some days since, Las brought intelligence that unless some unforeseen obstacle occur, Queen Victoria will arrive here on a visit in the course of the ensuing month, with her consort Prince Albert, Preparations are already being made at the Court for their reception." It was rumoured at Paris that her Majesty will also visit the King and Queen of the French at St. Cloud in the course of the summer. According to a Vienna letter, the Duchess d'Angouleme and the Duke de Bordeaux and his sister will not return to Goritz. They were expected to arrive about the middle of this month at Frolisdorif, about four leagues from Vienna. The French Minister of War has appointed a commission, composed of an officer of engineers and two officers of artil lery, to proceed to Bourges, and choose out the ground for placing the cannons destined for the fortifications of Paris. These gentlemen are to set out for Bourges as soon as the Bill just voted by the Deputies shall have passed the Chamber of Peers. The Semaphore de Marseilles of the 13th instant, announces the arrival in that city, on the 12th, of M. Placatory, the French Ambassador at Athens, and of Count de Montford, son of Jerome Bonaparte, both on their way to Paris. The Toulonnois states, that several foreign officers had re paired to Algiers to accompany as amateurs, the contem plated expedition ag a i nst the Kabyles. "We have ob served of late in the streets," writes the correspondent of that journal, "numbers of Prussian, Austrian, Bavarian, and even English uniforms. The day before yesterday a British Captain presented himself to the Governor-General. All those officers preserve their uniforms. They were all present on the 30th ult. at the ball given by the Governor. General." The Courier Francais mentions a report, that "an eminent banking-house had proposed to the Government to under take the execution of the Northern, Lyons and Strasburg railroads, on condition of receiving a lease of 2.5 years. This company would further undertake to reimburse the Govern ment the full amount of the outlay already incurred on those three lines, and agree to deposit as a guarantee for the ex ecution of its engagemeirs a capital of six hundred millions (24 millions sterling) in Government securities."

The onfatilliweaY3roerkinaPnadnYNorth Mid fißrasitl Railway y s a Company ßill fo re t n e a enabling the e e to make a borough Railway near the city of York. The second, a Bill for enabling the York and North Midland Railway Company to make a railway from the -line of the Leeds and Selby Railway to Goole.

And the fourth, a Bill for en abling the York and North Midland Railway Company to make a branch railway from the line of the York and Scar 'horrkaialwnde3N, from mth the e d borough Railway, in the township of Seamen, to Bridlington. The CHAIRMAN then submitted the following resolutions : "That this meeting approves of the formation of a branch railway from the York and Scarborough Railway to Pock lington, Market Weighton, and Beverley ; and also to Brough, or such other point on the Hull line as may be deemed expedient ; and that the Direct ors of this Company be authorised to came the necessary surveys and estimates to be made." "That the Directors be empowered, and this meeting doth hereby authorise them to borrow, under the powers and pro visioas of the several Acts of Parliament relating to this Company, such sum or sums of money as they may find necessary for the completion of the works thereby authorised to be made." The resolutions were unanimously agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then referred to the leasing of the Selby and Hull line by this Company, which lie thought would be worked with great economy and facility. The trains to Hull would be facilitated by at least half an hour, and ar rangements generally were in progress to benefit that port.

A. more curious specimen of malformation was never seen, and some experienced game keepers who were present declared that this was the only bees nature of the kind ever known in the history of the roebuck.—Sherburne Journal. " The stain of repudiation, which so lamentably oh -1 scums the fair fame of one of the States, so far as a pee lof her debt is concerned ; and the embarrassments and temporary delinquency of six or seven of the other States, are greatly to be deplored. A full and fair ac count of the causes of and reasons for all this would slim the in,ustice of much that is said and written on the subject. Not a syllable should be suggested even 1 iii palliation of intentional fraud : and no one will deny 1 that some States have too long; abused co nfidence of ~the their creditors ; or, at least, have not exerted their energies As they were hound to do, by a just sense of honour and public faith, to meet their engagements. But those 'who are most bitter upon this subject, are not. or should not be, ignorant of these facts ; viz. 1. That the 5,000,000 dollars' stock disowned by Mississippi, was disowned because it was wrongfully negotiated, and ap propriated against the laws, and not for the benefit of the State. 2d. That in other States, the public works for which loans were obtained, could not yield a revenue until they were completed ; and that the means of these States were thus suddenly crippled by the course of foreign stockholders and the Bank of England, in unexpectedly refusing, at the time of the great commercial disasters, the continuance of the supplies which had-before been temptingly offered, and which were necessary to the completion of the works, and for rendering them capable of paying the interest as due. 3d. That twenty out of the twenty-nine States and territories, equal in extent to the whole of Europe, save Russia, either have no debt at all, or have honourably and promptly fulfilled all their pecuniary engagements, to the extent of several millions annually. " These considerations, in connexion with the fact that a large part of the deferred debts are due at home, to Americans themselves ; that American journals of all grades have urgently protested against the present state of things. and most of the State legislatures have pointedly condemned even the very excuses of the delinquents ; that the natural resources of the State, when sufficiently developed, are ample for ten times the amount of their liabities ; and, moreover, that the constitutions of the States, and the nature of the federal system, preclude all control of one State over anoth er , an d render each one alone responsiWe for its local pecuniary affairs, in just the same way as the civic expenses of the english city would belong to its municipal government, and not to the Queen and Parliament: all these points.should have some consideration, before it becomes necessary in Eng land to stereotype ' American' and ' swindler' as synonymous terms." The drab-coloured men of Pennsylvania are, it would appear, the only honest men in the States. . " Pennsylvania, since February 1342, has not paid any dividends, at least not to .any who did not come under the denvinination of small holders ; but never was satire more misplaced, or ignorance more corn pletely shewn, than when ' the drab coloured men of Pennsylvannia' were held up to public odium ; for the fact stands forth, simply thus : .the ' drab-coloured men' are almost entirely limited to Philadelphia, and the city of Philadelphia never for an instant defaulted : its five per cent. stock, even during the wcrst times, never fell below ninety-eight in America. The really blameable parties are the agricultural German settlers, who possess a majority in some of the countries ; many of them ca nno t e i t h er rea d or wr i te in any language: almost all are un a bl e t o un d erstan d t h e English lan guage, and place a ban upon any descendant who should so far forget the manners of his forefathers as to make any attempt to assimilate himself, by his acquirements, to those people among whom he dwells. At present there are are nearly as many German newspapers pub lished in Pennsylvania as English ones :—now, however, that the Germans have been made to understand that deep dishonour has fallen upon their State, and that. Faderland sees with sorrow the contempt into which they have fallen, they have readily come forward with their hard dollars, and contributed to remove the stigma." The author, however, gives up the State of .lis sissippi and characterises its conduct in the following terms : " The only State in the Union against which the scorn of civilisation can be justly directed, on the ground of entertaining the doctrin e o f r ,p u di a ti on , is 'Mississippi. This State is rich in resources, and cannot plead poverty; but even here a few words might be urged in mitigation. By the last accounts of voters there, we find that the number of persons in that State who were for payriunt of the bonds 'were 18,665 and against paying them, 21,036 and there can be no question hut that the minority contains the wealth, the talent, and the respoet ability of the State ; but, unfortunately, they are out voted by those who are neither the tax- payers, nor have any deep interest in the commonwealth."

On Saturday morning, and throughout the entire day, the town o: Hampstead was thrown into a state of intense , ex citement by a rumour, obtaining extensive circulation, that a gentleman had been found murdered iu a ditch closely ad joining the spot where the murder of the unfortunate Mr. Delarue was perpetrated by Thoma., Henry Jlocker. On. the reporter instituting inquiries he ascertained the the grounds for supposing a similar shocking ocenrience had transpired in the vicinity of Hampstead were not altogether . without kundation, as the body of a most respectably at tired man had been discovered under the f o llowing singular. and, to say the least-of them. suspicious circuutstaaces :—lt appears that between three and four o'clock on Saturday morning, police-constable George Morphett, 207 S, who was on duty, was proceeding down the New North-road, and on arriving at the field adjoining the Haverstock-field, where Delarne was murdered, and between the Swiss Cottage Tavern and West-End-lane, he discovered what at first ap peared to be a large bundle lying in the ditch passing along the hedge. On closer approach he discovered it to be the body of a man completely doubled up, and lying- face ib in the ditch. On examination be found tbat he- was quite dead, and that blond had been issuing frelll the nose and. mouth, His hands were full of mud, lint there d id not appear to be any external marks of violence except that the face appeared unusually swollen. The policeman gave an alarm, and, with assistance from the Swiss Cottage, the body was at once conveyed to the Yorkshire Grey, - and afterwards placed in the dead- house which had been previously occu pied by the body of the unfortunate Delarue. and where it was searched and minutely examined by Mr. Gower. surgeon, of Hampstead. who was called in. The deceased is a man of most respectable appearance, apparently about forty years of age, about five feet three inches in height, of stout build, having ligl.t hair and small whiskers rather tinged. with grey, dressed in a brown Petersham wrapper with side -pockets, a black cloth waistcoat wit!, figured silk buttons, blue doeskin trousers, a black-figured cashmere long-fronted stock, blucher boots, with leather strszps at tached to the trousers, the right one being broken. His shirt is of long cloth. being sleeted with pale blue spots: All that, was thind on hi; person was eixpenee in money, a papier-mache snuff-box. and a poeket handkerchief. 'The only circumstance likely to lead to the deceased's identity is that he has the initials 'l'. (~ in Indian ink, pricked into the skin of the back of his left hand. From the general appears ante of the deceased, it. is the impression that lie has been hoeussed, and what renders the circumstances more suspi: cious is the fact that no hat was found near deceased, and although the police have made a minute search in every direction they were unable to discove r i t. I n f ormation was forwarded to Mr. Wakley, the Coroner, who has deemed the circumstances of the case sufficiently suspicions to order an immediate/Kat morlem examination of the body. ADDITIONAL. PARTICULARS. Throughout yesterday, as might have been anticipated, from-the report obtaining extensive circulation that the body of another man had been found (supposed to have been mur.. tiered) in a ditch, at no great distance from the spot where the murder of the unfortunate Defame was perpetrated, a vast number of persons visited Ilampstead, and the Yorkshire Grey was inundated by those who were desirous of obtaining a sight of the body of the deceased man. Between three and four o'clock in the afternoon a respectable man, who gave his name as John I>rury, 15, Boswell-court, Cleinent's-mn, ac ctimpanied by an almost frantic female, applied to Mr. Neal, the landlord of the Yorkshire Grey, for permission t o s ee th e body, as from the description of the deceased in the news papers, lint more particularly on account of the initials T. G. being marked on the back of the left band, he was con vinced the body was that of his friend, and husband of the female in his company. •Mr. Drury was shown the body, and at once announced his fears to be confirmed. He identified the deceased's person as John Cunningham, tailor of No. 24, Holvwell• street, Strand, and stated that he had been missed from home since Thursday morning last, and nothing had been heard of him until his description had been read in the papers. He has been in the habit of staying out very late in company and drinking freely, but he was never heard t o th reaten to destroy himself, and his being in the vicinity of I lampstead could nAt be accounted tiir, as he had no business that way, In accordance with tire direction of the Coroner a poet moriem examination was yesterday made of the body. The analvsation of the contents of the stomaeh was being pur stiedlast evening, butt the result has not transpired. On -ex amination of the brain and other parts of the body, it is stated that there was nothing found at all to account far death. The brain was particularly healthy, theretbre the de- - ceased could not have died from apoplexy from drunkeu ness, or any cause of that kind. The opinion still gained ground, up to last evening, that the deceased man had been poisoned. Although minute inquiries have been insti tuted by the police the deceased's hat has net been discovered. nor has any one been found who can speak to having been in deceased's company on Friday night. Inspector Grey. however, fancies that he is a man he met. about one o'clock on Saturday- morning in the Finchlep-road, but it' lie is the same person he had his hat on then. ANOTHER SUSPICIOUS CASE. An occurrence, which has caused a great sensz.tion, has just .ken place in Hampstead. It appears that, on Tuesday week fast, a fashionably attired young tionale, accompanied by two persons in the garb of gentlemen, arrived in a cal; at th e house of Mr. Allen, tailor, in High-street, Hampstead, and engaged of Mrs. Allen some ready famished apartments she had to let, the lady passing as the wife of one of the supposed gentlemen. The gentlemen visited her together once or twice,' the last visit being on Wednesday. last. From the period of their departure tip to Friday morning, between three and four o'clock, Mrs. Allen never heard or saw anythit.g of the young female; she was then awakened by hearing loud screams, and on proceeding to the young woman's apartment she discovered the door locked. The screams continuing, she had it forced open, and the unfortunatefemale was then dis. covered lying on the bed in strong hysterics, and a newly blrn child lying near her, quite dead, and turned nealli black. Mr. Gower, surgeon of ILimpstead, was. instantj T sent for and attended, and the female. whose mane has been discovered to be Caroline Galas. and her age iiit, recovered her senses for a short period, and on being ques tioned as to where she hail obtained some botilvs ~f medicine found in the room, she admitted that they had lit en pro video for by her friends who brought her there. She became worse and worse, and died about eight o'clock the same morning. After death, sing u l ar t o re l ate. Mrs. Gower, the wife o the surgeon who had been called in. came and took away the bottles of medicine just alluded to, and by some means or other the parties who had brought the deceased to Hampstead were made acquainted with the death. They gave directions for the immediate interment of both mother and child, adding at the same time to the un dertaker that money was no object, so that the burial could be promptly effected with secrecy. IVithin a few hours of death the body of the female turned to the same black hue as the deceased child, and on another medical man being called in, he expressed his opinion that the deceased had been destroyed by the administration of certain mixtures taken to procure abortion. These circumstances coming to the knowledge of Hunt, the summoning officer, he lost no time in making the coroner acquainted therewith, and Mr. Wakley, having understood it to be the determination of the parties to bury the bodies on Sunday, issued a warrant to Inspector Grey, of the S division, to prevent the fun era l taking place, should it b e a tt empted. Ili has also:issued his warrant to Mr. Lord, the surgeon, of Hampstead, to make a post mortent examination. The patties concerned have been traced, although their right names hare for time present been withheld. There are also some other parties whose conduct is highly culpable in the affair; and it is asserted that not only had the bottles which had contained the mix tures taken been disposed of, but a considerable sum ofmoney known to be is possession of the deceased has also disappeared. MADAMR ANNA THILLON.--We regret to hear that the indisposition of this lady still continues, and that at pre sent great uncertainty prevails as to the day on which she will again be in a situation to appear before the public. . Her medical attendant, Mr. Yearslev, is of opinion that if she progresses as favourably towards recovery as she has hitherto done, she may possibly act on Wednesday next. The daily announcements of her appearance in the Ench o ao4frem are much to be deplored both for her own sake and that of the management. „ _MATTI OF MR.
