't tt341111 -- - - , 11111: LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1851. We some time since directed the attention of our readers to the complaints made by the Brazilian Go vernment and by the Brazilian shipowners of the unjustifiable and disgraceful, not to say piratical, conduct of the officers of certain British cruizers, who, under the pretence of suppressing the slave trade, were, in fact, annihilating the whole of the coasting trade of the Brazils, by wantonly plundering of their property the subjects of a state in alliance with our own, and the Government of which was, according to the admission of Lord PALMERSTON himself, ener getically exerting itself to honestly carry out by every means in its power the treaties into which it had entered with this country for the suppression of the slave trade. The last arrivals from St. Helena unhappily confirm, and more than confirm, all that we had previously beard in relation to the unjusti fiable manner in wMch, under pretence of suppressing the slave trade, the laws of nations are too often violated, and the private property of persons engaged in legitimate traffic made valueless by certain British officers, whose zeal outruns their discretion, and who think more of the plaudits of Exeter Hall, and, it m ay be perchance, of that which BYRON has . declared is especially dear to seamen—prize-money, than of observing the rights of the subjects of other States states. It appears that the Brazilian vessel Mag. ano, bound on a coasting voyage from one port of Brazil to another, was fallen in with by her MAJESTY'S ship Geyser, seized by the British commander on the pretext that she was engaged in the slave trade, and sent to St. Helena for adjudication. After a protracted investigation before a Court which may be presumed to have been anything but favourable to the Brazilian owner, the vessel was acquitted. It might have been imagined, under these circumstances, that some compensation would have been awarded to the unfortunate Brazilian for the detention he had undergone, the damage which had been done to his property, and the false imprisonment he had suffered. Such, owever, we regret to say, was not the case; he re ceived neither costs of suit, nor damages for the loss of his voyage, nor for the injury his vessel had sus tained, nor for the anxiety which he bad suffered, and when his vessel was restored to him she was completely dismantled, having been entirely stripped, and all but broken up, by her captors in the vain attempt to discover something either in her fittings, her rig, or her build which would enable them to transform an honest Brazilian coasting vessel into an African slave trader. Under these circum stances the Brazilian captain has addressed the fol lowing letter to the editor of the St. Helena Advocate, and we commend it to the attentive perusal of all those who are not so far gone in the " Black fever " as to have lost not only their common sense, but all feeling of honour, honesty, justice, and fair play. He say s " My vessel, the Magano, was seised by her Majesty's ship Geyser, on the Brazilian coast, on suspicion of being a slaver ; she was bound on a legal voyage from one port of Brazil to another—with a lawful cargo of Brazilian merchandise, duly cleared at the Custom house. The manifest of this cargo was on board, and as I proved in my first letter there was no one portion of her fittings or cargo which which was not common to vessels of her class and sine. However, at the port of destination, with every prospect of a profitable voyage, we fell in unfortunately with the Geyser—and my vessel was seised under the pretext of being engaged in the slave trade, and sent to this island for adjudication. " After a .protracted investigation, and a lung pas sage to this island, the vessel was acquitted, but though thus cleared of even the false imputa tion, it was strangely decreed that I should receive neither costs of suit nor damages for the loss of my voyage, the injury to the vessel, or the anxiety under which I have for so long a period been left to suffer. On resuming possession of the vessel, I found her com pletely dismantled—stripped to a gauntline—a quantity of her standing and running rigging cut to pieces, and entirely useless—the sails and a portion of the cargo da maged and spoiled, as well as the vessel herself seriously injured for want of proper care while in the hands of the English; and I am now reduced to the necessity of sel ling the cargo, in order, so far as it will go, to remedy these evils, and to refit the vessel, for I cannot find any one willing to advance the large snm necessary for the purpose. " The English are a great people—they boast that their nation is just—but is this not injustice of the most cruel character, and will they allow me to suffer under it? I hope not, and will make the trial—but lam very anxious to show to all right-thinking Englishmen what evils and wrongs are committed in their name when they interfere with the affairs of other nations. " Before my vessel was seized she was in perfect order, and I was proud of her. Look at her now—a mere wreck lying in these roads, exposed to a tropical sun, wind, and rain, without any precaution or care for her safety. Her cargo was known to be of a perishable na ture, and why was it not landed and sold while good, for the benefit of whom it might concern? " The question recurs—lf I was wrongly seined and accused, why were not damages and expenses also awarded to me for the pecuniary loss and anxiety of mind I have had to endure? It would have been so in my own or any other honourable country; and are the innocent to suffer under English laws alone? After the decree for the restoration of my vessel had passed, I was obliged to pay for the decree itself before I could obtain resessiou—and all this simply because I was found guilty of lo o ki ng lik e a s l aver, not that I was one in reality. " I am told that one of the chief causes of this strange judgment beingpassed upon me was, that water suckers, as they are termed, were found on board. This I ad mitted on the trial myself, but I never for a moment imagined that it could affect the case, for these water suckers are used on board Brazilian and Portuguese vessels just as dippers' are on board of English ones, and it is ridiculous to suppose that a slaver would have such things, which could be of no service to it, as if Negroes on hoard were allowed to use them, there would be no check on the quantity of water which each consumed, and it would soon run short. These water suckers are never used for other than steerage passen gers in our vt:ssels; and to assign any other purpose to them is as ridiculous as the assertion often made and sworn to here, that clappers are used for calling the Negroes to meals. '‘.l stand in this island, Mr. Editor, a stranger, and I feel that all will say—a deeply ill-used one in a foreign land. I have no friends here, but shall of course, when I arrive in my own country, appeal through proper channels for the redress to which I am entitled from the English people, and to which, if their justice be not a what vain boast, they must lend an ear. I have before said papers for”tlie may s n ee tn' tl y. object in now writing to you is not so much to la r edress for myself here, hut in the hope that candid Englishman°. any of the stronger say injustice inflictei be circulated through the English information of a nation which sees not the whether it would even ' country. its name on a weak people. Let any then the double hardship whether such could be done to European nations with impunity—or attempted—and he will feel f w o r r o h n a g vi i n n g th i c .n te s d ert b e y a h m i ey i P orra nl e : e y case, and the double I thank you, however, that should that you will again favour -nninniernaut nwiiciaitaiotn,onaenedihnsotpie.

That, how ever , w il l not be sults cleat, nor nearly sufficient, to vindicate the honour of Great Britain in the eyes of the world. The case of Captain MAGAIIO is by no means a solit ary i nstance : I proceedings under the pretence of suppressing th e slave trade have taken place, both on the coast of Brazil and of Africa, which can only be properly designated as piratical, and the private pro perty of persons engaged in legitimate traffic 1184 in many instances been seir.4. - ..d and confiscated under pretence that they were engaged in I should sl ave tr a d e . I t i s t i me th a t suc h a s t a t e o f t hi ngs lild "c` , e, end we trust that at the very ocom mencement of the next session of Parliament some independent Me ng her of the House of Commons will suppression of the n i slave to consider the laws f o r the office t rade, end to investigate the conduct of th e offi ra commanding her MAJESTY'S ships and vessels engaged in the suppression of the traffic. Recent events have strongly fortified the po sition of those who demand the suppression of the African squadron. A question of considerable interest is now depen d ing between the Board of Inland Revenue and tbe different railway boards throughout the kingdom-- of interest not only to all persons who have made in vestments in railway stock, but far more so to the hard-working operatives, who, cooped up in large towns for the greater portion of their time, eve anxious occasionally to get a glimpse of rural scenes, and to breathe pure air, for a few hours during their intervals of toil. From the excursions which the en terprise and liberality of the directors place within their reach they return with renovated health and spirits to their daily labours. They have something to speak of during the week, and a legitimate object for which to lay by such sums as may be set aside from their daily earnings, after providing the neces sary subsistence for their families. In this respect not all the temperance societies ever formed under, the auspices of Father MATHBW have exercised so salutary an influence in keeping working men from the public-houses, and preventing them from applying their surplus cash, be it much or little, in sottish carousing, as the cheap excursion trains to different places of public resort and interest, which have lately been rendered accessible to all classes. The enjoyment, too, is not entirely selfish. The man who has expended a few shillings in a trip to Dover, or Brighton, or the Isle of Wight, to Hamp ton Court or Windsor, will not rest until he is enabled to bring with him his wife or sweetheart ; and if the former, the baby is probably made the companion of their trip. Every nerve will be strained to accom plish the desired object. Extra work will readily be undertaken, every privation cheerfully submitted to, if at the end of his probation he can act as the cicerone, pointing out the miracles of nature or art, which he has himself beheld for the first time a few weeks previously. How will he enjoy the wonder excited by the first view of the sea. Hew will he rejoice in explaining all about " Shakesperia's Cliff," or "the Pavilion," or " Portsmouth," or the Isle of Wight, or Stonehenge. Possibly the great Park at Windsor—the tamer and more cultivated beauties of Virginia Water or Hampton Court, or the artistic glories in the magnificent galleries may attract his attention, but in any of these cases, whatever may be the subject of his prelection, he will feel al most greater pleasure in detailing and explaining the various attractions, than his attentive and admiring audience will have iti receiving the coveted in formation. Is it then desirable that these excursion trains should be prohibited—that a stern mandate should be issued, commanding the cessation of all such traffic ? We believe that there can be no second opinion on the point, that Ministers would for once command unanimous votes in both branches of the Legislature, and that our most gracious and well-beloved SOVEREIGN, who is at this moment conferring the most perfect gratifi cation on millions of her loyal and devoted subjects, while visiting the commercial and manufacturing capitals of her dominions, would desire to extend to the utmost the facilities for such innocent amuse ments, so that they may be made available by the very humblest of her people. Under such circumstances it would seem that but little argument was required in favour of these speculations. Unfortunately, how ever, the Board of Inland Revenue appear to have arrived at a different conclusion, and to think that it is their duty to drive men into the beer and spirit shops, that the excise on malt and gin might be in creased to the highest degree. For that purpose, too, they are resorting to a degree of petty quibbling and hairsplitting that would disgrace a hackneyed Old Bailey practitioner. They endeavour to pervert the meaning of the Act of Parliament, and by an over strict interpretation of the letter, to completely set aside the spirit of the law. _ . If, unfortunately, they should succeed—if they can induce any of the judges of the land to give a decision in their favour, it would not in any degree increase the public revenue. The only possible result would be to annihilate the entire system of cheap trains, to abolish the pleasure traffic for all except wealthy travellers. If the tax is to be enforced, it must, according to the recognised fiscal principle, eventally fall upon the consumer. If a person can be carried 80 miles, to Dover or Southampton, for Ss. 6d., without any tax—if it is: remunerative, and barely remunerative to the companies to take them at that price, without restriction of any kind or description, the addition of is. Bd., as Government tax on passengers, would necessarily increase the price to 4s. ed., but as this addition would prevent three-fourths of the pleasure-seekers from taking tickets, and send the spare cash to the public-houses, or far more objectionable quarters, the companies could not afford to take passengers at the same almost ludicrously cheap rate. The result, then would be that the system should be completely abolished, and for that the working men may thank the Board of Inland Revenue. GOD knows it has no superabundant popularity at this mo ment, and need not seek to incur additional odium. SYDNEY SMITE( has, however, assigned sa ti %factory reasons why we are never to look for anything lust or honourable from an associated body. Each member might in his individual capacity be ashamed to do anything disgraceful, but as in his corporate character he is restrained by no moral or physical check, he is but too frequently guilty of the most indefensible and outrageous acts. We are quite satisfied that it is only necessary that the nature of the existing dispute should be fully known to excite a popular feeling that must be decisive on the subject. The Whigs are made of squeezable materials, and must yield on such a point. The Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, with the whole of the establishment, are expected to return to Arundel Castle, from Glossop, about the 10th instant. The new lodge to the castle, at the top of High-street, is now nearly completed • it has a noble appearance on entering the town, through daltrkvers-street, the arms at the top are beauti fully carved, the unsightly pinnacles, or, as some persons termed them, " extinguishers," have been removed. and a continuation of the towers substituted. His Grace, in the most handsome manner, gave the occupancy of the lodge to our much respected townsman, Sergeant Major Gamble _ _ (late quartermaster of the Arundel and Bramber Yeomanry Cavalry), who took possession last week. The entrance is not yet open for traffic, but is expected to be open in a few days.—Brighton Gazette.

DESTITUTE FEMALES IN THE There is every prospect of a large number of the female po pulation in Skye being employed during the winter and spring knitting stockings, socks, drawers, &c., for parties in Glasgow and in Edinburgh, at a fair remuneration for their labour. Under the management of the relief board the price allowed for knitting was so small that the most expert knitter could not make twopence per day. It is expected that by the present arrangement the females who are acens tomed to knit will be enabled to make fivepence to sixpence per day.—Northern Ensign.

De Savigny, member of the Academy of Sci a. e nt Versailles, known n advanced agefor his works on zoology, h as just expired THE FRENCH REPUBLIC, We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. It is said that the PRESIDENT, feeling alarmed at the consequences likely to ensue from the almost in sane lengths to which M. LEON FAUCHER is carrying the system of repression, has determined, in order to ' get rid of that most dangerous Minister, to break up the Cabinet and to form a new one, of which MM. .ABBATUCI, ODILON BARROT, and DE FALLOUX, will be members, and which will propose to the Assembly the repeal of the Electoral Law of the 31st May. M. DE LAROCHEJAQUELEIN has just addressed a long letter to the Gazette de France, in the course of which he states that it is his intention at the meeting of the Legislative Assembly to bring forward the following proposition : " The Legislative Assembly decides that the Constitu tion ought to be revised in totality (Art. 111 of the Constitution). " In consequence a Constituent Assembly, nominated by the electors inscribed on electoral lists, to be imme diately drawn up, in virtue of the law of March 15, 1849, shall assemble on the 28th of May next (Arts. 1, 24, and 25 of the Constitution). " The electoral domicile of each Frenchman shall be on the premises of his real one. It shall be decided by the conditions stated in chap. 3 of book 1 of the Civil Code, and shall be made public according to the forms therein declared (Art. 27 of the Constitution). " The elections for the Constituent Assembly shall take place on the fourth Sunday of the month of April, 1852 (Art. 31 of the Constitution). " The election of the President of the Republic shall take place on the second Sunday of May, 1852 (Arts. 46 and 116 of the Constitution)." The Revolution announces that a committee has been formed to manage the funds, &c., of a subscrip tion of five centimes each for a medal to be presented " to the workman of Marseilles who swam off to the Mississippi to shake hands with KOSSUTH." The committee consists of M. DEMOSTHENE OLLIVIER, president : M. COPPENS, secretary, and the chief editors of the Avenement du Peuple, National, Presse, Siecle, Republique, Semaine, Populaire, Feuille du Peuple, Feuille du Village, Bien-Etre Universel, Re volution, as members. The number of subscribers whose names are published is 863. General CASTELLANE hes prohibited, in the sth and 6th military divisions, the sale of five democratic almanacs—the Almanach du Travail, by Agricol Per diguier Leneveu, and V. Schoelcher ; the Almanach du Village, by Joigneaux, Mathieu (de la Drome), and Perdiguier ; the Almanach Populaire de la France, by F. Bouvet, P. Duprat, &c.; the Alma nach des Opprimes, by Mayen ; and the Republique du Peuple, authors unknown. The Presse says —" A letter of M. SARTIN, Representative of the People for the Department of the Allier, addressed to the PRESIDENT of the Legislative Assembly, sets forth that, being at dinner in the house of M. DUBOUSSET, at Mont lugon (Allier), two non-commissioned officers of the gendarmerie presented themselves, and declared to the guests, fifteen in number, that the dinner and the number constituted a political meeting, in violation of the decree of the Prefect. They accordingly for bade any one to quit the room. The guests pro tested. M. SARTIN, although personally known to the gendarmes, produced his medal, and showed it to them. He was told that inviolability was without effect during the prorogation of the Assembly. A conflict ensued, and a lady received a stab from a sword, which had been destined for M. SARTIN. Stich a grave event requires the most prompt and the most striking satisfaction." 121 The Boarse was agitated, and: public securities again declined.

The Ordre notices the fact of the name of Lord HowDEN appearing among the list of the subscribers for the wounded of Cuba, as follows We entirely adopt the patriotic idea suggested by the Heralds to open a subscription in favour of the wounded in the island of Cuba, in consequence of the last piratical attempt of Lopez. The noble represen tative of England at this Court has again show, by putting his name at the head of the list of subscribers, that his liberal donation of 5,000 reals is a proof of his high opinion of our valiant troops, who now, as when the Noble Lord combatted by their aide, as a faithful ally, know well how to maintain the honour of the Spanish army when the independence and inte grity of our territory is oowardly and basely attacked. We then pray the noble Ambassador of the United Kingdom to receive our most cordial thanks, in the name of Spaniards of all parties, without any distinction whatever ; most particularly in the name of our wounded soldiers of the army of Cuba."

The KING opened the session in person, in a speech as follows : " I am happy to find myself again in the midst of the deputies of the nation, to co-operate with them for the welfare of my people, and decree the necessary measure to assure the glory and prosperity of the nation. " The war has been brought to a termination, and the blessings of peace are already seasonably felt in every part of the kingdom. " My attention and that of my Government has of late been chiefly directed to the limitation and mainte nance of the frontiers of the kingdom, a question which is intimately connected with the question of succession to the throne. I have to congratulate myself on the sympathy and good-will I have met with from Foreign Powers, and am flattered with the relations of sincere friendship which have been re-established with them. "The financial plans and statements which will be shortly submitted to the deliberations of the Chambers by the Government, will afford, notwithstanding the heavy charges which have fallen upon the nation, for the maintenance of the war, a proof of the present flourishing state of the finances of the kingdom.

TWO O'CLOCK. Yesterday was a general holiday at Liverpool, con sequently there is nothing to report from the Cotton or Share Markets. In tho Colonial Markets a moderate business has been done, but the supply of most articles is abundant, and this prevents a rise in prices. Indigo has gone off tolerably well since the first day, Bengal being in most favour. British Plantation Sugar has been in request at steady prices, but very little has been done in East India. Coffee has been taken to a moderate ex tent. Rice has improved. Cotton rules heavy, and not much has been done in Tea or Tallow.

Some anxiety is felt in commercial circles owing to the heavy advances stated to have been made by th e banks in the provinces to the ironmastors, as, should payment of these be pressed for, other failures will pro bably ensue.
