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 heard in relation to the unjusti fiable manner in which, 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 may 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. It appears that the Brazilian vessel Ma genta 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, however, 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 had 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 vaira 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 says— " My vessel, the Mageno, was seized 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 Brasil 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 seird under the pretext of being engaged in the slave trade, and sent to this island for adjudication. " After a . protracted investigation, and a long pas sage to this island, the vessel was acquitted, but though thus cleared of even the false imputa tion, it was strangely deereed 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 runninc , 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 fur 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 f a r as it w ill go , t o reme d y these evils, and to refit the vessel, for I cannot find any one willing to advance the large sum necessary for the purpose. - "The English are a great people—they boast that their natlon 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 I am 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 seised 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 possession —and all this simply because I was found guilty of looking like a slaver, not that I was one in reality. " I am told that one of the chief causes of this strange judgment being passed 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 o f 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 board 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 vessels ; a n d t o ass i gn any other purpose to them is as ridiculous as the assertion often made and sworn to here, that clappers are lased for calling the Negroes to meals. 'I stand in this island, Mr. Editor, a stranger, and I feel that all will say—a deeply ill-used one in a foreign had. 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 V a li 't o People, and to which, if their justice be not a seek this re that my boast, he y must lend an ear. I . have before said \ papers for the in 9 ar be e d c r t e a m s now writing to you is not so much to wh a t I , ay m for myself here, but in the hope that injustice inflicted inri whether it would even candid Englishman any of the stronger E circulated through the English ation of a nation which sees not the late name on a weak people.

That, however, w ill not b e sum s. cleat, nor nearly sufficient, to vindicate the honour of Great Britain in the eyes of the world. The case of Captain MAGANO is by no means a solitary instance proceedings under the pretence of suppressing the 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 tertY of persons engaged in legitimate traffic coil ' ,, in many i ns t an ces been seised and th confiscated under pretence that they were engaged in mencement of l' tla ti We e 4 aN'e trad e • • independent should cease, ; a Commit% of It is time that such a state of things trust that at the very com menaeterlext li es 5 io n of Parliament some suppression of the slave t t move forthe House of Commons will o conduct of the officers consider the laws for the 'llde, and to investigate the co n: , • tilau ding 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 depend ing between the Board of Inland Revenue and the 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, are 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 MATIJEW 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. How will he rejoice in explaining all about " Shakespere'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 in 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 seooad 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 SOVEREIGifi, 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 3s. 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. Sd., 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. SIDNEY SMITH has, however, assigned sa tisfactory reasons why we are never to look for anything just 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 Maltravers-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 A ru ndel and Bramber Yeoma nry avalry), 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 HEBRIDES.••••• 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 aceus. tomed to knit will be enabled to make frrepence to sixpence per day.—Northern Ensign.

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, f which MM. ABBATUCI, ODILON BARROT, and DE FALLOUI, 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 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 OLLIYIER, president : M. Corrmis, secretary, and the chief editors of the Avenement du Peuple, National, Presse, Sit;cle, Rpublique, 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 has 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 lucon (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. Ile 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 fur M. SAILTIN. Such a grave event requires the most prompt and the most striking satisfaction." The Bourse was agitated, and: public securities again declined. The Five per Cents. opened at 91f. 55c., and closed at 91f. 50c. for the end of the month; the Three per Cents. closed at 55f. 90c.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 860 f.; Rouen, 565 E; Havre, 212 f. 50c.; Great Northern, 456 F. 25c.; Avignon, 211 f. 25c.; Vierzon, 425 f.; Basle, 148 f. 75c.; Bordeaux, 38 3 f. 7 5 c.; Paris and Strad burgh 351 f. 25c.; Amiens to Boulogne, 260 f.

Madrid journals of the 3d and 4th have arrived. 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 Ileraldo 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 tho list of subscribers, that his liberal (halation 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 side, 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 cowardly 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." MADRID BOLA, OCT. 4.—The Three per Cents. were done at Madrid on the 4th at 364 cash; the Fire per Cents. 164; Coupons, 8; Debt without Interest, 6 5-16. GERMANY. Accounts from Vienna of the 6th state that Dr. Baca has ceased to be Minister of the Interior. The Gazette of ate Empire of Austria an nounces that the Prussian Government has ad dressed to the Governments of the great powers a circular note, in which it is stated that the Cabinet of Berlin wishes to bring back the principality of Neufchkel under the Government of the KING. Several arrests have taken place at Dresden. DENMARK. The Danish Chambers were opened on the 4th. The KING opened the session in person, in a speech as follows : " I am happy to find myself again in the midst of the thedeputies nation, to co. o p e rate with th e m for the and de cree th e necessa ry measure to assure fof the my i , prosperity of the nation. " The war has been brought to a termination, and the welfare blessings of peace aro already seasonably felt in every o gry people, and 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 Mattered 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. " Various important projects of law will be shortly submitted by the Ministers to the discussion of the Chambers; but I trust that the labours of the session will not be so long or so arduous as those of last year:, TURKEY. The Armenians of Van have risen; in revolt against the 'lurks. A conflict has taken place in which several were killed on either aide. Troops sent from Erzeroum are said to have put down the insurrection. A reduction of twenty per cent. is decided by the Committee of Finance at Constantinople in all sala ries of officials. It 19 determined also to levy a capitation-tax of 30 piastres a head throughout the empire. Sir STRATFORD CANNING has, it is said, succeeded in mitigating the anger of the SULTAN against the Paba of EGYPT. GaEECE. We have received by the Levant mail the Athens journals to the 28th ult. inclusively. Their contents are not of importance. There had been a stormy debate in the Chamber on the law for the contingent of the army, and it could not be carried until the Ministers had conse n t e d t o so many mo difi ca ti ons and amendments that it s or i g i na l c h aracter was en tirely changed.

THE GREAT EXIIIIIITION.—The Executive Com mittee are besieged with applications for admission during part of next week, and some idea of the correspondence which has thus been entailed upon them may be formed from the fact that yesterday their expenditure in penny postage amounted to nearly 2001. REPAYING OF OXFORD-STREET.—The portion of Oxford-street, situated between Duke and North Audley. streets, which had become in a very bad state in consequence of the extraordinary traf f ic during the summer on account of the Great Exhibition, has been closed for repairs, and the vast traffic of this important thoroughfare has to take a cir cuitous route in the meantime.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. Yeuterday was a general holiday at Liverpool, eon segue utly there is nothing to report from the Cotton or Share Markets. In the 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 favou r. British Plantation Sugar has been in request at al eady 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 Tel t or Tallow.

The arrivals of English Wheat up to our market thig . week, coastwica, having bean small, viz., 2,080 quartorgpe and those by land carriage on a very limited scale, ths-r show of samples of both red and white here to-day wav less than for some time past. The amount of business.. doing was by no means large, yet the trade may be con-- sidered firm, at fully Monday's prices. The offers 0 hand, for future delivery, were generally at higher rates.. Only 3,750 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come to' hand. Selected qualities changed owners somewl? o ' readily, at full quotations. In the middling and inferior' kinds, next to nothing was doing. Floating cargoes of Polish Odessa, off Falmouth, realized 30s 6d per quarter., The show of both English and Foregn Barley was. limited. Fine parcels sold at extreme currencies; bat , grinding and distilling sorts were a dull inquiry. Th e ' Malt trade was dull, although the quantity ready for delivery was trifling. We had only a moderate sale for' Oats; nevertheless, prices were fairly supported. 1 !" good business was doing in Flour, at full prices,:b o Beans, Peas, and Indian-corn were much neglected.
