VENING EDITION . HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. A most numerous and fashionable audience assembled on Saturday evening to witness the first performance in this country of Mercadante's Giuramento, which, reckoning Torquata Tasso, Beatrice di Tenda, Ines de Castro, and the ballets La Tarentule, Le Lac des Fees, and L'Ombre, is the seventh novelty which the management of her Majesty's Theatre have this season presented to the public. II Giuramento was originally brought out at Milan some three or four years ago with much success; but, till now, has not made its way across the Alps. It has been performed here without having, as usual, been first produced at Paris. As a musical work, however, it is not unknown in England; one of our principal pub lishers having a considerable time ago ventured to pub lish not only the opera complete, but its principal pieces separately, without its having been previously heard on the stage. Some of these pieces have met with favourable ac .eeptance and have been much sung in the fashionable mu sical circles ; and accordingly they have undergone the usual manufactures to which favourite opera music is sub jected—arrangements for the pianoforte as solos and duets ; fantasias by Czerny, Diabelli, and other such composers ; sod even sets of quadrilles. The success of these publica tions, unaided by the prestige of previous transmission to the public ear through the lips of Grisi and Rubini, leads to the inference that the music must be melodious, pleasing, and popular. And so it is. But music may be very pretty and pleasing, and yet, in a dramatic sense, perfectly worthless., The libretto is the work of Signor Rossi. .It is of the average value of such productions—improbable, confused, and absurd in its incidents, but containing what are caled strong situations; while, in its diction, it is simple even to au extremity ( f baldness, so that the composer may bay( sin sort of embarrassment in setting it to music. The fol sowing is an outline cf the plot :—There is aruthless tyrant, Count Manfred, who is jealous of his wife, whom he consigns to death on suspicion of infidelity, while he himself is in love with another wcman. There is Bianca, his wife, forced to marry him years before, and pining for the loss of a former lover. Then there is that lover, Viscardo, whose love is as strong as ever ; and, lastly, there is Eloise, the lady who if. , beloved by Manfred, while she nourishes an utvcquitcd pas aMn for Viscardo. And these elements of love, jealousy, and hatred, produce as tragic an imbroglio as can be de sired. The morality of the personages is not very caramplary. With such a drama, and such music, powerful and na tural action is out. of the question. What can the actor make of the most impassioned phrase in the world, if it is frittered away into a king tissue of unmeaning vocal pret finesses ; or what can he do in the most Striking situation,, if his very limbs arc chained by - the necessity of cxe cuting a string of elaborate floulidies? The assumed character disappears, and we have only Madame Grisi or Signor Rubini entertaining us with a song. And yet it is wonderful what these gifted - performers sometimes contrive to do, when they can get rid of their musical trammels and use the tones, ges tures, and movements of genuine passion. In the last scene they trampled upon the stumbling-blocks of Met crdante, and exhibited a tragic picture of great power d beauty, But it is rarely indeed that such oprortu nities occur on the modern Italian stage. . Notwithstanding all these defects, one cannot but feel the beauty of many pieces in this opera. Among these were the air " Bella adorata incognita," in the first scene. sun.. by Rubini ; the quartet°, " 1 1/La:;=o a chi s',adora," in the next scene ; the air Or W onda," sung by Madlle. Tosi ; the elle:, " Di Viscardo io sono amante," sung by Mad. Grisi and Madlie. Tosi ; and the duct, " Dolce conforto al micro." cur g by the same per. r.oriners ; whisk last is the gem of the opera, being net cnly exquisitely graceful ansi e )(now, but just and ap rropriate in expression. The eho ucs are poor and com monplace. The performance was excellent. The acting was very good where good acting was possible, and s.inging was admirable throughout. Mademoiselle Te.si,' who has appeared too seldom, sang beau tifully, and was gteatly applauded. Coletti's part ( Man fred) is an unpleasng one, but he did it ample justice. Grisi and Rubini never performed better. The piece wvas decidedly succes,ful ; the curtain having fallen amidst the general applause of a very crowded audience. After the opera the ballet of L'Ombre was repeated. The theatre, whit h was densely crowded in all parts, was graced with the presence of her Majesty and Prince A bent, who arrived just as the overture commenced. 11-:1 Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Fanny Howard, Lady Anna Maria Dawson, and Colonel iCouper, occupied the Queen Dowager's box ; and their Royal Highnesses the Duchess, Prince George, and Princess Augusta of Cambridge attended the eveniug'h entertairunsrrs. Among the distinguished audience we also observed the Duke and Dechea; of Montrose, the Duke of Wellington, the Duchess of Cannizzaro, the Earl and Countess of Wilton, the Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury, the Countess of Blessington, Lady Fitzroy Somerset, Lord and Lady Ernest Bruce, Lady Pembroke, the Marchioness •ot Ab:•rcorn, Lady Burghersb, Lord Burghersh, Lord St. Vincent, &e. MERCHANT SEAMEN'S INSTITU TION. A plan for the krmation of a great institution for aged decn3cd, or disabled seamen in the mercantile service has been brought to cur notice by a circular which 1, now being issued among the shipowners, merclants, and others interested in the subject. The circular 's beaded by a very fine sketch of the intended building, svbich seems to us exactly fitted to be the centre oi the two wings by which Greenwich Hospital is cern posed. Good, however, as is the plan of the built'. ing, better, much better, is the plan, or rather the object cf the institution. We can see vast national advantages as likely to arise from the success of this great undertaking. The author of the circular considers that may be calculated to win back our sailors from the Ame rican service. This may eventually be the case, but w, look for more immediate benefits in leading the sailor tk prudent habits, and protecting him from the crimps b ) whom he is beset and besieged from the very moment he arrives until the moment he (or rather his money) departs, require strong energy and much perseverance to accomplish this great work ; but we have reason to be lieve th&t energy and perseverance are no strangers to tilt mind that has conceived it, and to the hands that will can) it out. The following is the circular alluded to :- PRI:LIMINART PROSPECTUS OF THE MERCANTILE MARINERS HOME AND HOSPITAL, TO BE ERECTED AND PRCVIDED FOR IN THE FIRST INSTANCE, BY A CAPITAL OF 500,0001., SUS CEPTIBLE OF A PERPETUAL INCREASE, BOTH BY PROPRIE TORS AND DONORS, OWNERS AND SAILORS. Sift,—The great leading objects of this national under taking are, to provide a Se. ond Greenwich lb pital Seamen not in the Roy a l S erv i ce — to erec t a species 0, Insurance in Life against Age, Illness, or Accident—to i offer an inducement, unparalleled in any other country, to war Comrrt9Lgial Mariners, not to be tempted to enter into the !Service of - 7nuerica or other States, where no such provision is or can be made for British subjects—and, in an especia] degree, to cultivate habits of prudence in those who hither(' have been proverbially imprudent, by offering them, for a very small portion of those earnings (generally sacrificed as intemperance or to trickery,) a noble Institution, Food, 'Clothing, and Lodging, or an adequate Income to enjoy each; and the whole conferred, not as a matter of charity, but as a matter of property, being at once " The Ssaman's Refuge and Right." All these things are of easy accompli.hment. The Sailor, should he live to be fifty years of age, and have paid his quota of the Insurance, may calculate on reed's. ing at least ten times the value of the amount he has partly by the accumulations of compound interests; partly by the deaths of those who pay, but do not live to enjoy ; partly by the joint subscriptions of owners and merchants; partly by the contributions of the patriotic and philan thropic, many of whom are ardently dispos-d to assist this Institution ; and, generally, from the nationality of its cha racter and objects. In addition to these sources of Income and objects of utility, it is contemplated to add to the profits, and at the same time protect the Mercantile Seamen from those whom he most emphatically and most truly calls" Land Sharks," by uniting the benefits of a Saving Bank and a Loan In stitution to the other, and more important, features of the plan. It is proposed that a large proportion of the original vaa,pi*.al shaft be devoted to the erection of the builciino, sat;on same site near the Thames; and that the whole of lee proprietary capital, amounting to 500,000/., shall be mist d by the axle of terminable annuities for sixty years, at seven per cent, per annum interest, redeemable at the market price, when above par, by the Trustees of the In stitution, at thei r opt i on ; and when the whole are re deemed, or have expired, the entire property to belong to British M ercant i le Nlatiners, and their successors, as a Home and an Horiptt al for ever. It It will be necessary- in th e construct i on of the boil i ' ng to divitit!it into c l asses; hence, under the sanction and suvrintendence of the ablest and the best practical me o alt ditorcler will be avoided; and station and position in Society will be preserved to meet the views as well as to conduce to t c comforts of the oc cupants. Parliamei . will be applied to f or an Aet, or the Govern. meat for a Royal Charter, to limit the responsibility of those who may take Shares as Proprietors. Of course, Bequests, Donations, or Annual Subscriptions, create no risk, and hence require no protection—the latter, it is hoped, will furnish a very large and constantly inerettiiiig proportion of the Funds of the Institution, which, in addi tion to the small payments by the sailors themselves, who shall, in all cases, have a latitude of at least two years, to make up their deficiencies, will, in time, dispense with the necessity of proprietorship altogether. In the year 1,900, it not before, the Institution will belong to the nation. These general views arc thrown out for consideration end advice. The only grand principle which can never be departed from is, a home and its comforts, for aged, de ca.:ed, or disabled Seamen, not otherwise provided f With thankfulness, will any suggestion he received, and - wrtli eheerfulneas adopted, to alter and amend any part of the plan. A'.ready individual of distinction have ex pressed their determination to support the object by every meaus in their power. WLen a sufficient number to form a Genera Committee have signified their adhesion to that ob ject, without kiting expected to adhc - e to the plan, as sketched our, the will be called together, and asked to elect a Counel or Board of management, from among themselves, of qualified members. Such Committee, and such Council, if en ti re l y approving of each other, but not o therwise, will have their names published. It is hoped that this may bis effected during the present Session of Parliament, and nothing but a want of sufficient consider of i ts grea t: pu b lic and ation private bent fits, can impede or reterd its speedy completion. Ever}' sug gestion or anhcsion is requested to ba made in wr:ting, and will he forthwith acknowledged by, Sir, ncr most obedient humble servant, w.

COCKERILL. BRUSSEI 5, JUNE 25.—We have received from Liege a very melancholy piece of intelligence. " Mr. Cock- I ertil," says a letter dated yesterday, the 24th, "has died at. Warsaw, at which city he arrived on June 12, trom St. Petcrsburgh. This news was brought to Liege, by a courier. A Council of Advocates was im mediately assembled by the Trustees, to consider what was to be done in consequence of this event." " Mr. Cockerill," says the Journal of Liege, " died on the 19'.1a, at seven in the morning, having been car ried off in a few days, by a brain fever, at the age of 50 years." During his illness he was visited by Prince Paske witch, who immediately sent to him the Chief Physi cian of the Army. Mr. Cockerill has no children. It is not yet known whether he has !eft a will. 1-1:s heirs are thirteen in number. " Mr. Cockerill," says a biographer, " was born on April 3, 1790, in the little town of Haslingden, in the county of Lancaster. At the age of twelve his father sent for him to Verviers, where he had settled a few years after the birth of his son John, who was one day to acquire a reputation extending beyond the bounds of Europe." Yesterday a deputation of the Senate waited upon his Majesty to present their congratulations on the birth of a Princess. The Count de Serrures has presented to the Min's ter for Foreign Affairs the Duke de Bassano, as French Charge d'Affaires ad interim. BRUSSELS, JUNE 26.—The general debate in the Senate on the project of law, relative to the loans, was closed to-day ; the discussion on the articles will begin to-morrow. AMSTERDAM, JUNE 24.—The arrival of the Archi medes, steamer, gives occasion to the Handelsblad to detail at length the extraordinary advantage of the mechanism employed for propelling that vessel. THE HAGUE, JUNE 24.—The squadron which is to arrive in the North Sea is to consist of the Sombre fri - gate, and the Argo, corvette,, and the Carrier, Venus, and Windbond brigs. The squadron is to be com manded by Captain J. P. Machielse. The cruise is to commence on the Ist of July and to end at the latter end of August. THE UGUE, JUNE 25.—Count Leopold Van Sti- r - rind died bite liteht at a very advanced age. He Wes' OenerltLaiantry, Governor of the Hague, Member of the First Chamber of State, General and Grand Cross of both the Orders of the Netherlands. With Count Hogandorf and Count Vander Duyer Van Maarsdam he boldly put himself at the head of the natives in 1813 to restore the independence of his country. ST. PETERSBUGH, JUNE 15.—An Order of the Day issued by his Majesty the Emperor, dated Berlin, the 7th of June, directs that "In memory of his Majesty Frederick William 111., King of Prussia, deceased this day, and to preserve for ever the memory of that illus trious friend and companion in arms of the Emperor Alexander 1., the regiment which bore his name shall be called the Grenadier Regiment of King Frederick Willit m 111. " The Grenadier Regiment of the Prince Royal of Prussia shall be called the Regiment of Greua&ers of his Majesty the K'ng of Prussia." The whole Russian army is to go into mourning for six weeks. His Majesty's Regiment will wear mourn- ing for three months. TURKISH FRONTIERS, JUNE 11 —lt is now beyond a doubt that the new order of things is completely es tablished. Though the Porte has granted only condi tionally the dismissal of the Senators and Councillors ac cused by the people, it is known that the instruction of the Sultans commissioner, who has already set out from Constantinople, are wholly favourable to this new sys tem. All the ministers of the senate, the smaller offices, Are already gone to Kragajewitz, except the councillors Wucsitsch and Petroniewitsch (who arc still in the castle, hoping for support from the Porte), and some others. The Government and the people rely on their rights, and the Government, it is said, has important pa pers in its hands, which clearly proves the criminal plans of the deposed councillors and their adherents. This seems to have given occasion to an order prohibiting any Scurans from communicating with the councillors in the citadel, except on the most urgent bnsincss ; for a personal interview, a permission of the magistrates of Belgrade is required. P. S.—The inhabitants of Belgrade were yesterday in the utmost consternation by the news that Prince Michael was dangerously ill. This would be at present a great calamity for Servia. To-day, however, we heard, to the great joy of the people, that the Prince has only caught cold, and that no danger is to be feared. DUTCH FUNDS.--Asincitoast, JUNE Money. Bill..

ALGIERS, JUNE 19.-IVe are very uneasy on account of , ppearances, which indicate that the Arabs are meditating mischief. Masses of Arabs have been seen prowling in the plain, near the Massif. Ahd-el-Kadcr'a regular in fantry and his red cavalry have been seen at Fondouck, and have joined Ben Salem, who it planning sonic trea chery. The militia of the country assemble at night, and keep a strict watch. The troops in Algiers are likewise on the qui vire. This evening the inhabitants are busily engaged in tracing the source of a report that had overwhelmed them with despair, until the Moniteur Alyerien End disabused them by announcing the successful return of our expedi tionary army. According to this report Marshal Valle.: broke up from his bivouac at midnight between the 14th Ind 15th inst., and made a forced march towards the Col, A hich he cccupied. The Arabs, thinking he was going to Medeah, allowed him to get before them ; however, 1,500 of their troops had time to reach the ravines between hillocks which skirt the high road and the mountains, so that they eculd not be observed from the high road. The Marshal having occupied the hillocks, made the ad vanced guard march forward ; as for himself, having taken a position whence he could observe everything, he did not quit his post until he saw the baggage descend he hill peaceably ; and after having seen a b a tt a li on o f the 48th Regiment descend in its turn, he then joined the head of the column, having first withdrawn the troops s hid' occupied the hillocks, thinking there was no further danger. In an instant after those hillocks were abandoned by our troops they were cccupied by the Arabs, who poured a violent discharge of musketry against our rear guard, com posed of Zouaves, Chasseurs of Vincennes, &c. Three times those positions were taken and retaken. Abd-el- Kader's cavalry struck their infantry, who were not quick enough in mounting to the attack, with sticks; tho confu sion became horrible, in fact a butchery ; they struck each other with their fists, being so dose together that they could not use their arms. The sides of the hillocks were covered with dead bodies. Finally, for the fourth time the Arabs took possession of the ground, the convoy having passed, and our troops having no longer sny interest in keeping possession. It is said that in this affair we have lost 153 killed, and 300 wounded. It is likewise said that when the Marshal sent off his despatch from Mousaia he did notknow the massacre of his rear-guard. According to the same account, entire companies of the Zouaves had lost all their officers, and were led back by a corporal. We once ;more add, that we have doubts concerning this mis fortune, which agrees so badly with the praises bestowed Qn Marshal Vallee in some letters which we have read. ALGIERS, JUNE 20.—We are really alarmed : all the trcops arc consigned. The drummer of the militia is iviiitiug to receive orders. THREE O'CLOCK —Three hundred of the condemned soldiers are marching out, under the command of Colonel Marengo. Since morning smoke has covered the Mi!ja, and still we do not know a hat the Arabs had left to burn ; at every minute I could write to you, events succeed so rapidly, and the danger becomes imminent. The Arabs arc in alarming, force, and threaten our last asylum. It is the sword of Damocles, which each person sees suspended. over Isis head. The losses we have sustained for the last month in mowers alone amount to 100, and we call on the authorities to prevent such misfortunes. 76, KING WILLIANI-STREET, BANK OF ENGLAND, AND 39, ALBEMA R LE-STREET, PICCADILLY.— DEAFNESS AND DEFECTIVE VISION.—A greater proof of the value of the Messrs. S. and B. Solomons' Invisible Ope rative Voice Conductor, and newly-invented Spectacle Lenses, cannot be add iced than the circumstance of the many thou sands of individuals who have obtained the greatest benefit and instant relief, and the constant immense demand there is for them, and the patronage they have and daily continue to receive. The Messrs. S. and B. Solumens disclaim all con nexion with persona of the same name and the ;ale of amber spectacles ; the perniciou s uir of amber spectacles being new well known to the public, and the vendor being aware of it, he has therefore altered their name, by leaving out the word " amber," and calling them "Patent Spectacles."

The great majority on the Weaver Churches Bill on Friday argues favourably for Sir R.INGLIS'S mo tion. The Members of the House of Commons are quite in love with the Church, and as they have voted a sum out of the county rates to build churches, we can but fear that they will vote a much larger sum from the general taxes for the same pur pose. That they care not one straw how they burden, or even how they plunder the people, by means of taxes, is obvious by their conduct as to the Corn-laws ; and as they look to the Church teaching the people proper submission, and so pre serve their power, it is to be expected that the Com mons will agree to Sir It. INGLis's motion. At least we expect it. In their opinion it is impossible to do too much for the Church. On her altars the Parliament has already sacrificed the liberties of Ireland, and is ready at any time to sacrifice the liberties of England and the peace of the empire. We anticipate, therefore, that Sir ROBERT INGLIS will be successful when he proposes to-morrow evening to vcre a large additional sum to the priesthood. It will be of no consequence to the Commons that the Hor. Baronet has himself declared that he never would consent to give one farthing for teaching that as the Word of God which he believed not to be that Word, and which principle is as valid for the Roman Catholics and Dissenters against Churchmen, as for Churchmen against Roman Catholics. The House of Commons, in its love • for the Church, and its fear for the people, will gulp down that inconsistency, and impose a tax on die people, and in the same breath declare that the people ought not to pay such a tax. It is of no consequence that the Times, the leading organ of the Conservatives, and master of the whole hand, without which they would be powerless, has lately taken to ridicule the priests and the National Society, and to speak with profound contempt of the weak heads which Sir ROBERT INGLIS now proposes to endow. The Tories will disregaru the Times, than n - and tax the people to pay more priests, in order to enforce political subserviency. of og o an, coi m ise o g re uen c ce ons t e h r a v t ati,, a ,e not c h y t e . r n e iset is tire t r i rva the 1 - iilleS-the Ilcrald, has lately spoken of the priesthood as not fit to be trusted with the guar dianship of our cathedrals. Though the priest hood are Foperly deprecated even by the Conser vative press, they are looked on as auxiliaries by the House of Commons, which, caring nothing for the people, will, we are afraid, vote to-morrow night an additional sum to extend the grasping operations of the Church. The Liberal patty ought, however, to muster as strong as possible, should the Tories make a House for Sir ROBERT, and swell the' minority—in which we fear, after the vote on Mon day evening, they will be left—as much as possible. .Amon g the majority on the Weaver Churches weß see Mr. VILLIERS STUART, who means probably, by voting to extend the Church of England, to prove to his Catholic coun trymen that he is worthy of their confidence. Hav ing supported- a motion on Friday, on which Sir 11. INGLIS was a teller, Mr. V. STUART will proba bly support Sir ItosEnT s motion to-morrow, to tax the Catholics and Dissenters in order to increase the power of the Anglican priesthood, and so lead to re-enact the Catholic penal laws. A writer in the Weekly Chronicle refers to the observations oa the vagueness of the laws of high treason, which we made on Thursday. He admits their correctness, but tells us to rely on public opinion, on the disposition of those in power, and other similar circumstances, to prevent those laws ever being harshly or cruelly executed. The writer is, we apprehend, scarcely aware of the vast extent to which this principle leads. He acknowledges that public opinion is superior to law, more enlightened than the law, and is much more than the law to be relied on to secure the peace and happiness of society and the rights of the people. " Care nothing for the vagueness of the laws," he says in substance ; " never mind how petty and contemptible are the actions classed as high treason ; it is of no importance making the law clearer or more precise; you may leave all the actions, which are now classed as high treason, subject to the penalty of death, and trust to public opinion to allow only such acts as that of Ox- FOR D or FROST to be punished with death." Report ascribes the sentiments of the Weekly Chronicle to a Member of Parliament, and if such be his doctrines, will he tell tlle public why . should not the definition of all crimes and their punishments, as well as high treason, be left to the influence of public opinion, operating on Judge and Ministers, without the mock intervention of a law by which they are not to be guided, and which is to be overruled and set aside by public opinion ? If such be a Member of Parliament's opinions, why should lie trouble himself nightly to attend to the process of making laws which he implies are not to be observed ? While the Par liament continues to enact laws—till society come into that state described by one of the speakers at the late Anti-slavery Convention, of repudiating every species of enactment, and allowing each and t every man to decide for himself, a notion which the speaker no doubt borrowed from the practice of Kentucky and the lands still further west—we arc for having the laws, and particularly those disobe dience to which involves the forfeiture of life, clearly defined and classified, every action being as accurately as possible described, having as little as possible left to the discretion of a Judge, or the feelings of a Minister. The writer in the Weekly Chronicle will not think it far-fetched to suppose that the Chartists may get the upper hand. It is probable that our vague treason law may come to be administered by Judges under their influence, and carried into execu tion by Ministers appointed under the Charter. Then we might see no small number of the upper or middle classes condemned to death for high treason, be cause they had endeavoured to restore the politi c al form of society which is most for their advantage. Such a result is within possibility, and on that ground—as well as because the flung right and proper—we require that the law of hight t r , e s a u s c o h n should be defined, that actions in themselves almo s t innocent, or only of a trifling degree of guilt, as talking of arming in a public assembly -for a public purpose, should be separated from such actions as that of 'OXFORD, and sucha grievous, injury should not be inflicted on society . ,by,the gentlemen who make laws, and rely an public opinioir to modify and control their operation, as jumbling together - under one term, and con demning - to the-.same penalties the vilest assassi nation, and the least guilty of conte.nplated acts of resistance to authority. We cannot blame Mr. KELLY more than any other Member of the House of Commons, if he leave thelaw undisturbed, as it is, in all its present incongruity ; but we have a right to blame him when he- undertakes to reform it, professes to put an end to capital punishment in . all cases where -that is not deserved,- expressly ex cludes murder and high treason from- hisv Bill, and leaves the crime of treason, which he says shall stilt be punished • with death,, so . iiaitie — and un defined, that almost any political' act Which• may offend a corrupt or high prerogative Judge, may be punished as high treason. Mr. KELLY should amend and settle the law of high treason before he calls for the sanction of the present Parliament to an enactment punishing that offence with death. We felt considerable surprise to find Mr. EWART's proposition for a reduction of the sugar duties taken up wholly as a question between the produce of free and of slave labour. We have never so regarded it. The valuable articles on the Sugar Marker, which appear weekly in The Sun, and which contain a vast mass of correct informa tion, continually quote the price of sugar grown in foreign countries by free labour ; and this sugar, as well as the sugar grown by slave-labour, would come into the country, were the duties reduced. On the 13th instant, for example, our article on Sugar states : Sugars raised by free labour in foreign settlements cast of the Cape of Good Hope commenced in the London market from 19s. to 235. per cwt., being, quality for quality, 235. per cwt., cheaper than West India Sugar, and 15s. per cwt. less than the price paid by the poor man of this country to the West India proprietors for ordi nary trade, admitted to home use duty free, on the pretence that the industrious classes may supply themselves with a cheap sweet—in reality that the indolent West Indians may supply their pockets out of ours, We arc enabled to compare the results of free labour operations cheerfully carried on in the Philippine Islands, in Siam, and in Java, against those of slave labour, vigo rously pursued in Cuba, in the Brazils, Porto Rico, and the French Colonies. Muscovado Sugars of similar finality imported from either of the places named, fetch in the open market about 22e. per cut., from which price must be deducted the cost of freight, landing, warehousing, and management of sale, in order to show how much per cwt. net proceeds the respectiv e planters obtain. These charges on Brazil Sugar amount to 45., on Cuba Sugar to 55., on Porto Rico to 65., on French Sugar to 65., on Manilla Sugar to 7s. 64., on Java to 75., and on Siam to 7s. 6d. per cwt. The Sugars from the Brazils and the Havannah are clayed; but assuming for simplicity sake that the cost of such manipulation are equivalent to the in crease?lfs vcomputationotfh Supplyingelld vantages the Cso St. Peters- p d e e t r e i v r s c - s prices obtain e d f or t h ose d escriptions of Sugar, and fm k r e o ei )in l g )cr o e u x t cl burgh market, we find the Brazil planter obtains 18s., the the Cuba 175., the Porto Rico and the French 163, per cwt. for Sugar of a given quality. The supply from these slave-labour colonies varies with the season, their powers of cultivation remain stagnant, the prices of their produce (though from the considerations we have rejected they may be much more than here stated), offer no induce ment fur bringing fresh land into cultivation. Manilla and Siam Sugars yield 1-Is. 6d. per cat. net to their planters, and Java 15s. per cwt. per cwt., which prices, although 10 and 15 per cent. loss thin those of the slave-labour Sugars, so abundantly renumerate the proprietors of estates, that the cultivation of the cane has been, and is being, widely extended. Such heing the facts of the case, with what face can Sir S. I:IISHINGTON, Mr. O'CONNELL, and the Morning Chronicle, decry those who wish to sec a reduction of duty on sugar, to admit this free labour sugar into the market, as promoting the continuance of slavery and the slave-trade ? It is ad mitted that slavery exists in the Brazils and in Cuha, and that the inhabitants of those countries still en courage the slave-trade by buying sla% es ; hut, as Mr. VILLIERS well and consistently observed, die welfare of the people is not to be sacrificed because there is a possibility, by doing justice to them, that a bounty elsewhere may be given to slavery. Mr. 'VILLIERS, as usual, took an honest and an upright part. Why, he asked, not act in the same way with tobacco and cotton ? But neither Sir S. LUSIIINGTON, Mt'. O'CONNELL, the Morning Chronicle, nor their allies, t h e Morning Post and Standard, would dare to suggest that the cotton and tobacco of the s l a ve States of America should be excluded from our market. e or In fact, the principl e , wh e ther we encouragdiscoura ge slavery in foreign countries by our fiscal regulations, is a most improper basis for legislation. Our Legislature has to look to our own people. It holds power to promote their welfare, not to reo u • late the social condition of men in the Brazils or in Cuba. It should look to the people at home— it should do justice to them, at least before it seeks to meliorate the condition of other nations. If the principle on which Sir S. LUSIIINGTON acted were to gu id e th e L eg i s l ature , it must consider a ll the in s ti tut i ons o f every S tate , as well as the m ere existence of slavery, before it could make a Custom -house regulation ; and, on that prin c ipl e , the pred om i nant party i n t h e L eg i s lature would b e justified in insisting on putting an end to all traffic by a Church lik e b w y l!ic a h A ‘Nia o s na i r io ci t ,, ca a r n r c i l ed ol o 3l l , i re vv s i s t e h d a c ountry gover ne d that of England. The absurd principle of regu lating our taxes, by the politi- 1 condition of men cn "the other sida of the globe, surpasses all the Quixotic absurdities we have yet seen propounded ' in this aoe of legislative humbug. Mr. Ewn Rl' showed that the present duty on sugar took from our people between 4,000,000/. and 5,000,0001. annually more than they ought to pay for their sugar, in order to put that sum into the pockets of the West India planters. Not a word of answer was given to that statement. They are plundered of that sum annually to force the cultiva tion of sugar in our own colonies. The sugar duties are a Corn-law on a small scale, and in principle commit a like injustice on the people. In fact they aie a subsidiary Corn-law. They are auxiliary to the principle of starvation. Sugar is a very nutritive article, and were it freek imported at a moderate duty from all the world, or wholly free of duty, it m,ght help us to dispense with our landlords' taxed corn. They knew that ; and where they are not one and the same body with the West India proprietors—as is the case with the Duke of BUCKINGHAM, the Earl of HAREWOOD, and other supporters of the Corn-laws—they co - dially unite to support their combined monopoly, by which the consumers of sugar and bread ate an nually plundered. With all deference to Mr. O'CONNELL and Sir STEPHEN LUSHINGTON, we doubt very much whether the course they have taken is not better calculated to encourage slavery than the course re commended by Mr. EWARI. As long as the West India proprietors can, bv the monopoly now conceded to them, get as large a sum for a short crop as a large crop, what motives have they fur extending the cultivation of sugar by free labour ? They cannot cultivate sugar any longer by slave !abbur. Their estates would be worthless but for the monopoly, unless they were cultivated by energetic free labourers ; and while they are saved horn competition they arc deprived of all motives for introducing such a class of men into the colonies. To have free labour they must make their pre sent labourers completely free. They must remodel the society. They must give up their old pSwer. They will not do this ; they will not introduce free labourers as long as they are not exposed to com petition ; and the sugar of our own colonies will, in spite of the money we have given to purchase the freedom of the slaves, be still cultivated by men in a condition no better than that of servitude. Our opinion is, that with such a reduction of duties as that Mr. EWART proposed, or, still better with a greater reduction of duties On foreign sugars, the planters would be compelled to treat all their labourers better, and to entice labourers from Eu rope (who surely can stand the climate as well as the gentry), to cultivate sugar. They would be compelled, by thus admitting competition, to sweep away all the remnants of the slave code, and, most probably, at least it is our belief, in a short time the free labour produce of our own colonies would undersell the slave-grown produce of the Brazils and of Cuba, and be a more effectual means to ex tinguish slavery and the slaYe trade than Mr. BUXTON's costly scheme, and Sir S. LLISHING TON'S unjust discriminating duty. The first sample of free labour sugar shown in the Lon don market, (says the .Westminster Review,) at the same price and quality as that of the Havannah or Brazil, would sound the knell of the slave trade and slavery, It is a peace f ul cure. Nu cue can quarrel with us,:for growing cotton, stigar, or coffee, at as low a rate as possible. It is a cheap cure ; it does not require any grants of public money, any lavish expenditure of lifev nty_naval squadron to enforce it, It is a merciful cure; it does not involve the increased misery and suffering which our present system brings upon the poor African ; it requires no Judges of mixel Commission Courts to rattle the dice box, to ascertain whether a fellow creature is a slave or a freeman; and, above all things, it is a cure founded on principles that will endure for ever, without the aid of treaties and negotiations to support them." This consummation, which we desire as warmly as the Chronicle, the Post, the Standard, and Mr. O'CONNELL, never can be brought. about till coinpetition, by an abolition of this little Corn law, cnmpels our planters to try what can be done by the energies of free men. We call the attention of our shipping readers to a plan for providing for seamen in, the merchants' Service in somewhat the same way as sailors in ,the Queen's service are-provided for in Greenwieh Hos pital, with this difference, that one is eleemosynary and the other is, to he ~propriettny.. We, have no room for more at present. The whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Sa turday have reached us. They bring some interesting news from French Africa, which will be found in an other column. Letters from Bayonne, of the 22d, state that on the 20th, the Carlist Chief BALMASEDA, at the head of a large and well-appointed force of infantry and cavalty, crossed the Ebro near: the Puenta Lana, after surprising and defeating two companies of the QUEEN'S troops. His object was to join the Navarrese Chief LEQUINA at Limpi‘v, and to attempt a rising of the Navarrese peasantry. The following telegraphic despatch, received by the French Government on Friday night, and:pubiished in the official columns of the Moniteur of Saturday, announces the speedy dissolu tion of the hopes of victory cherished by the Carlist Chieftain : " BAYONNE, JUNE 26. " THE GENERAL COMMANDING THE 20TH MILITARY DIVI- HON TI, THE MINISTER OF WAR, " BALMASEDA, beaten and flying before Generals Rt- BERA and CONCIIA, and meeting with no support in aay quarter, will probably be forced to take refuge in France." Private letters state that on the 24th most of the fol lowers of Balmaseda had taken refuge in France ; and that Cabrera, to prevent desertion among the troops under command, had circulated a report that ail Spanish refugees seeking shelter in France were sent to fight under the French standard in Africa. In the Emancipator of Toulon we find the following para graph : _ _ "A negotiation has been commenced, under the aus pices of the French Government, with Cabrera, who at ltngth agrees to lay down his arms, on terms of a favour able nature being acceded to him. The Carlist chief con sents to abandon the soil which he has io long desolated. Two French battalions arc to go to a certain place on the frontier. Cabrera and his people will then cross the frontier and deliver themselves up." Preparations are in progress in Paris for the celebra tion of the tenth anniversary of the Revolution of July. The Archbishop - elect of PARIS, it is said, has been consulted, and the clergy will consecrate the new tomb of the Column of July. The remains of the per sons interred in the Champ de Mars, at the Pont de Grenelle, in the Rue Froidmanteau, and the Marche des Innocens, will be joined with those of the Louvre. An immense funeral car will be prepared to receive the bodies, and will proceed to the church of Notre Dame, where a solemn service will be performed. From thence the procession w:Il proceed by the quays and the Boule vard Bourdon to the column. Sentinels have been I already placed by the column, and workmen have begun to place the railings. Despatches from General CoRBIERES to the War Minister, dated the 17 inst. from Algiers, confirm the report of an attack on the troops commanded by Mar shal VALLEE, on the 15th, near the Col de Terria, mentioned in the correspondence of the Toulonnais, published in another part of The Sun. The battle was very obstinate, and the MansitAL acknowledges that he lost 50 men killed, and 260 wounded. The loss of the Arabs is stated to have been immense ; a statement which we do not credit, inasmuch as it appears that the French army was attacked unawares, and that the Arab army consisted wholly of cavalry. kiOURSE,—P .

The two QUEENS were still at Siragossi, which they; had entered in the night, greatly to the mortification ot the inhabitants, who paraded the streets all day to give them a suitable reception. On the 18th inst., the anniversary of the promulgation of the Constitution ot 1837, w,s celebrated in Madrid with sports and illumi nations. In a supplement to the Gazette of that date appears a despatch from General CONCHA, announcing his victory over the Carlists, who attempted to take the two QUEENS. The main facts are such as were reported in the telegraphic despatches addressed to the F renc h Government, which .appeared last reek in all the Lon don journals. The battle lasted eight hours. The Carlists lost, besides killed, 1,400 prisoners, exclusive of 105 officers, three of whom held the rank of general in the rebel army. The Cortes were expected to rise in a few days. The British Ambassador, Sir A. AsToN, was to accompany some members of the Government to Barcelona during the residence of their MAJESTIES in that city. On the Madrid Bourse but little business was d o i ng . The Five per Cents. Active were 4t 25 for cash.

It says--" His Excellency, (311 7 former cccasion, placed his reliance on the' exertions the local magistracy, on the influence of the gentry , a' of the clergy of all denominations, and on the good 01 and good feeling of the people, for the discontinuance ;._ those illegal proceedings, and he was not disappoint ed his expectations. He now, therefore, relies with in crea °l. e(' confidence on that voluntary respect for, the law, and f 1; bearance frbtn exhibitions of religious animosity, of w.'ic a Ireland in general afforded last ,'ear so honourable till gratifying an example."
