A vast number of experiments have been made, and several Machines invented for this purpose, but ss hich have only succeeded to the extent of obtaining a very small quantity if pure Water by Dis tillation in a Still and Wormdevoted wholly to that purpose; so that, in consequence of the first cost, the space occupied, and fuel consumed, the result has been so unsatisfactory that the Machines never could be brought into general use. It has been reserved for the present era, when the carious ap plications of Steam.have been so fully developed, that its advan tages should be extended not only to the Sailor's Kitchen, but made a prime agent in providing at all times one of the ele ments of existence. This has been accomplished by a very simple and commodious Machine, which will roast, bake, and boil well; froth which the surplus Steam passes off through a coadeuser, and produces excellent Water for the use of the crew, at the rate of one gallon for every lib. of Coals consumed after the Steam is up. The Water thus obtained is perfectly pure and wholesome. It has been analyzed by Professor Faraday of the Royal Insti tution, by the Professor of Chemistry at Apothecaries Hall, by the Lecturer on Chemistry at the Gallery of Practical Science, and by several other eminent Chemists and Medical Gentle men, whose written opinions and certificates may be seen at the Offices of the Company. The Apparatus has been repeatedly worked in the presence of many distinguished nautical and scientific gentlemen, all of whom have expressed their decided conviction that it must be universally adopted, both in the Bri tish Navy and Merchant Service. It has been tried at Sea, and proved to be perfect in a Sea going Vessel, as the following Certificate will testify : " We the undersigned sailed in the yacht Dauntless from - the river Thames. on a cruise to the Westward, Laving on hoard a machine upp on trial for purifying Sea Water and Cooking at the same time. We had at the period of sailing a very small quantity, ,of fresh water in the tank, which lasted two days, when it was replenished by the pu rified fresh water, made from time to time during the cruise by the working of the machine. We put into Ramsgate, Portsmouth, Cowes, Ramsgate again, and Gravesend. and were absent from the 20th October to this 13th November, during which time we had fre quently heavy gales of wind, and the motion and rolling of the yacht Ras much greater than could be experienced at sea in large ships. h e machine cooked well, and supplied all the water required by the -crew on board, and we did not take in a supply of any other water, although we had the offer of doing so. We found it wholesome, pa iateable, and particularly soft for washing and cooking purposes, and We never wish to drink better water ; the pea soup was excellent. We have been all perfectly healthy, and are satisfied from the trial the machine has undergone that it will produce- an abundance of water for a ship's company at sea, with the usual quantity of coals used for cooking on boardships. (Signed) Winter Harris, William Hamilton, John M'Ar thur Low, R.N.. George King, Joseph Proctor, John Proctor, William Proctor, James Bur leigh, John Burleigh, John Fair, Thomas Parsons." The Machine is so compact as not to occupy more room than u ship's hearth; and being made of wrought iron, is very durable, and not liable to be out of order ; and the construction is so simple that a common Smith could easily repair any - defect which might by possibility arise. Amongst the numerous advantages to be derived from its use, it will secure ' Ist. A plentiful supply of Fresh Water aL Sea, without ad ditional trouble, cost, or fuel. The cleanliness, comfort, and health of the Crew and Passengers will also be greatly pro moted from the use of this Water, which is perfectly [urified from Salt, and so soft as to effect a great saving iu the con sumption of Soap. The sufferings endured on long voyages from the want of fresh water,and the diseases engender e d by drinking foul wa ter, are extreme.. 2. The necessity of taking large, quantities of Water to Sea will be obviated,, and a much additional disposable 'l'ouuage afforded. A ship on a voyage to and from the East Indies t with 100 per ' • sons on board, would require 100 tons of..ft.esh water each way ' (a ton being the usual allowance to each perspn.) Now; admit. firm that one-half only of that tonnage cotilit t lie dispensed with, 50 additional tons might be freighted - out rand home, say at X 7 per ton, affording a gain of £3OO in freight alone' in the voyage. The apparatus which would cook for WO pei*Oris would. furnish an abundant sui,ply of water fur the ship's crew and passen . gers. ...I. The avoidance of any deviation by a Vessel from her in tended course, the consequent loss of time, and cost of addi tienal Port Charges at place she might be compelled to put into for fresh water. 4. •A superior mode of Cooking established. The ceotiag is performed by steam as far as the boiling is concerned. An Oven is Also attached to the Apparatus, and a Grate for roasting and other purposes may be added. 3. -A saving- of Fuel— • • - The , quantity of fuel now used. for cooking for a ship's com pany will he.amply sufficient in this Apparatus to effect the same of Oct; and at the same Hine to produce the purified ter for drinking, cooking, and wa:Thillg. 6. The due trim-of lie Ship preserved, and in Line of Battle ships the Lower-deck Ports woithi be brought II inches higher out of the water. As it will not be necessary to take larz, quantities of water to sea, the trim of the vessel-will not be Areeted by withdraw , ing water from any .particular part of the. ship; refilling the butts with salt water, which is the present practice, (and which is injurious to then,) will also be avoided. The great'advantages of this Apparatus, in promoting not only our national but our commercial interests, are so manifest that it is obvious a very extensive sale must be effected on its merits becoming generally known. In circler,. therefore to carry out this measure. to the fullest _extent,. and, in a wayy, which no pri vate exertions .can accomplish, this Company has been origi nated, the PromoterS having enteredinto an engagement. with the Patentees for their patent rights, (subject to the incorpora tion of th e Company) on very eligible tenni, and such as they feel satisfied - must yield to the Shareholders'iicertain and most liberal ret urn: To prevent disappoiutment-ddelusion, every effort has been made for upwards of twelve months past to test th e ma c hi ne , in order to. prove that.at. dues accomplish all its contemplated objects. Several. of the. trials having heen con ducted in thevesence of scientific and naval men of the first eminence, it is most gratifying to be'enabled to state that every successiVe:trial - niore (Idly proved - the efficiericy of the Machine. Time Lords of the Admiralty have already . given orderS for a Machine to be placed on bolted of one of the king's Ships, and there are several orders received for large merchant ships.

TN consequence of the great increase of the population of I. Liverpool to the North' of the Enchange, and the want of places of interment for the dead of all denominations, it has en deemed desirable that another CEMETERY should b ormed in the immediatejviciuity of Scotland-road, Kirkdal and Ever ton, and for that end a Piece of Land has bee ecured at a very moderate price, possessing 'one frontage o oundary-street, and another to Net lierfield 7 road..Nort h.

LIVERPOOL & MANCHESTER SUGAR REFINING COMPANY, rinHE Provisional Committee h the pleasure to announce .to their Subscribers that the applications fur Shares have become so numerous that a few only can be now distributed to such of the trade who have not yet come in; and as many par sirs have been deterred.from availing themselves of this favour able opportunity of making a safe and profitable • 'estment, the Committee have resolved to keep the list ope or another week in order to remove the misrepresentations the nature of their negotiation wiih Messrs. Branckers, ci ulated by inte rested parties. The Shares in this Company eing filled up to the extent contemplated, no further ap l• atious can be re ceived except from the trade. The following is ao extract of a report made by a deputation of the Provisional Committee, at a Public Meeting held at the Bush lon, Manchester, on Friday, the 6th instant : " The Committee are led to believe there have been reports circulated with a view to do injury to this Company, Rising an impression that an enormous suns of money is to be paid to Messrs.

THE METROPOLITAN NEWSPAPER COMPANY, For the Establishment of a New Weekly News*er, TO BE CALLED THE METROPOLITAN CONSERVATIVE OURNAL. CAPITAL £lO,OOO, 5,000 SHARES OF rri HE names of Bankers, Directors, CoVee of Manage ment, Solicitors, and Secretary, wi full, ample, and satisfactory Prospectus, will be issued in 'ew days, and may be obtained at the Office of the Metropolit n Literary Journal, 13, 'Wellington-street, Strand; where, in the mean time, ap plications for Shares may be made, and Will be duly registered and laid With the Bankers. For the satisfaction of those numerous parties iu the Country interested in the present undertaking, it is • necessary here to state generally the object and intention of the CoMmittee of Man a genient, and further inforthation will afterwards he aft'arded. This new Political Journal instituted under powerful pat ronage, for the purpose of thwarting, in some nicasute, the avowed designs of the numerous Radical Newspapers lately sprung up—of acting as an antidote to the objects and opinions of such papers as the Spectator, Examiner, and Atlas, hitherto unopposed by any antagonist of their form and character—of spreading more widely and generally throughout time Country, (by a proper explanation, which is never attempted,) principles of a Conservative tendency—and of procuring a distinct organ of Conservatism, to communicate the proceedings of the different ConserVative . Associations. The principles upon which this Journal will be conducted, are of a very simple and intelligible character, for they have been advocated by ther-eatest and - wisest - men this Country has ever produced, and ace those now upheld by His GRACE THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON, and Silt ROBEOT PEEL. They are, to defend at all times, and with all earnestness, the strict and inviolable union now happily existing between Church and State; to maintain the Throne in all its integrity, and against all arbitrary encroachment, whether from within or from without; to uphold thy,, full and entire independence of both houses of Parliament,7A gainst the Monarchy and the pe o pl e on the one b an d, an d their own mutual inroads on the other; and to teach the people obedience to the laws, attachment to their established faith, loyalty to the King, and justice to each other. The METROPOLITAN CONSERVATIVE JOURNAL is also especi ally intended to represent the Shipping, the Agricultural, and other depressed interests; and will devote a careful attention to, the proceedings of the various Railway, Mining, Canal, and other Companies. Shareholders are More particularly sought for among the Clergy, the ConServative Clubs and Associations, the Shipping and Agricultural Districts and Associations; and from Man chester. Leeds, Bristol, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Bull, Sunder land, Whitby, and Newcastle. Each Shareholder is expected to take a Copy of the METRO POLITAN CONSERVATIVE JOURNAL, and in order to vary and widen its circulation for the benefit of the Shareholders, no one is allowed to subscribe for More than two Shares; for this ptir pose also: they have been made small. It will thus commence with such an extensive and immediate circulation, as to allow at once a large per centage for Capital advances; and, to Subscribers, in addition, a considerable per ceutage will be allowed on Adveltisements, sufficient to, repay them for their outlay. In order, moreover,. to meet with the Literary taste of the British public, the M ETtIoPOLITAN LITER ARV JOURNAL, which is edited by a gentleman of high standing in contemporary Literature, will, as soon as the Duty is removed, be immediately Stamped and sent to all parts of the Empire, thus allowing the CONSERVATIVE JOURNAL more entire.-and exclusive space fur the diffusion of its political opinions. Letters (post . paid) ad dressed to J. NIT A L KER ORD, Esq., (Kneed the METROPOLITAN LITER ART JOURNA L, 13, Wellington -street, or 29, NorthUmber lausl-street, Strand, will be laid before the Committee, and all inquires replied to. Early applications for Shares are also re quested, as a considerable number are already secured by im mediate friends of the undertaking, and in the * Country. N.B—lt may not be out of place here to add, that this was the first Journal proposed to be established on the present prin ciple, and the announcement was only delayed from the uncer tainty existing in the present Stamp regulations. THERATCLIFF AN U EAST MET IIOPOLITAN EQUI TABLE GAS COMPANY. CAPITAL £1.50,000, IN 30,000 SHARES . 01 , £5 EACH. DEPOSIT £1 PER SHARE: rums Company has 'been formed in order to obviate the di..• great difficulties the Consumers of Gas in the Eastern Division of London have had to contend with; the Directors purpose supplying a pure Gas at 30 per cent. under the rates as at present paid, securing an ample supply not only to th e con sumers by burner, but also to those that burn by meter, fur whom a separate main will be laid down. Thi s C o mpany does not come forward as others have done. "upon the ground of public good," for while they afford tfr6 public the great advantage they promise, vet in so doing secure to themselves and to the shareholders a dividers percent. for their capital embarked. The immense and continued increase in the cons T Gas, both for public and private use, renders a Co description beyond doubt a sure and certain i many years will not elapse before it supersede altogether, as its utility in heating and (nail now fully established; its 'peonoiny and clean is the more desirable for such purposes. From the many and recent improvements, both in the manu facture of Gas and in the construction of Works and Machinery, this Company does possess great advantages over any at present established, having the benefit of all without the orig Mal expense. The Directors are determined to adhere to the strictest eco nomy, both in the construction of works and in every other branch of the establishment, and by so doing they can pledge themselves to supply Gas at the reduction as stated, and at the same time ensure to the shareholders a larger Dividend than any other similar Company ever did pay. CONDITIONS. Ist.—The Capital of the Company will consist of £150,000, in 30,000 Shares of £5 each. 2d.—No Shareholder will be responsible beyond the amount of his respective shares. 3d.—Tbe deposit of El per share will be available for the ne cessary expenses of the undertaking, Making surveys, and ap plying to Parliament for the act, &c.

(Signed) J. CARMICHAEL SMYTH. February 2(l, 1831. A True Copy, 11. E. F. YOUNG, Gor. Sec. The retirement of Lord MELBOURNE from the head of the administration is stated in such positive terms by the best 'informed persons in London that we can hardly re sist believing it. The cause of this retirement is not So distinctly intimated. Some say that an occurrence of a delicate nature has rendered his lordship's seclusion from public affairs for some timeka matter of urgent necessity, while. others assert the divisions in the cabinet, which he has found it impossible to allay, are the sole cause of the noble premier's secession. It is whispered that Lord MULGRAVE is to be the new chief !—why.not DANIEL at once ? It will be seen, from a paragraph in another place, that O'CONNELL has offered himself a candidate for Kilkenny, the election for which city is appointee; for Tuesday next. The inquiry into the Dublin election way therefore be considered as at an end. We have no . means of knowing what his Majesty's ministers intend doing with Lord LYNDHURST'S abOlition of Irish corporations bill, but we trust they will deter- mine on accepting it as amended.. It is most desirable that Ireland should be governed by laws strictly adapted to the peculiar state of society in that country. It is computed that the protestants possess five-sixths of all the property, but that an immense majority of the popu lation are Roman Catholics—Roman Catholics in a state of abject and pitiless Poverty —in a state of deplorable ignorance and grovelling superstition—=amid, consequent ly, the willing and devoted slaves of their priests. Hi therto the corporations have been managed by the pro testant party—that is to say, by the only intelligent class of men in Irelamt The property they possessed was exclusively protestant property, held in trust for protest ant purposes. The greater number of charters were granted by the kings of England for either English or protestant purposes, in order to construct forts and de fences against the native Irish, or to protect and propa gate the protestant religion. Under these circumstances it is difficult to comprehend by what principle of right or justice the Roman Catho lics can claim any share in, or any control over, such pro- . pertv. h is true that these trusts•have in many instances been abused, that the estates have been mismanaged, and that corruption has tainted corporations. But surely the Roman Catholics have no right or pretext for complain ing of this. They cannot show that they have been spo hated, that their property has been mismanaged, or that they have suffered wrong from municipal malversations. !'hey complain of grievances, we admit. They have been an excluded race. They have only recently been emancipated from a long continued proscription. But this is no proof that their exclusion was not a matter of stern and unavoidable necessity. They themelves were the authors .of the penal laws. It was their ferocious character, their open disregard of treaties, their irrepres sible and sanguinary insubordination, which compelled the government of England, in the reign of the first JAMES -and subsequent monarchs, to resort to severe mea sures and keep them in subjection by the strong red hand. They never possessed the property the manage ment of which they now demand, and which the whips of the present day are disposed to give them, merely to pro mote the objects of a faction who never will rest satis fied with any share of power which leaves P. protestant or the forms of protestant worship in that island. This all-grasping share of power the people of Eng land say they shall not now or at any other time possess. If the corporations which exist be not adapted to the al tered circumstances of the country that may be an argu ment for their suppression, but it is no argument in fa vour of exclusively popish corporations, the whole power and property of which would fail into the hands of the priests. If the present corporations have a tendency to keep alive party fends, the wiser policy is to suppress them altogether. We do not say that they foment any such feuds. We believe them to be strictly defensive inL. stitutions, and that the property attached to them belongs as rightfully to the Protestants, in these several commu nities, as do the lands of Woburn Abbey to the Duke of Bedford, or the nose on Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S face (if he have a nose) to the said Lord JOHN RUSSELL. The Roman Catholics have no right or title to them whatever, any more than we have to the Hill of Howth or the Isle of Man. But we willingly concede that there may be state rea sons why the power and local functions, judicial, political, and otherwise, of municipal corporations, should be abo lished. We are of opinion that corporations which can not be managed in a quiet, unostentatious, and harmoni ous manner, for the good of the burgesses, or, in other words, when they are governed by popular elections, leading to local excitements and party trials of strength annually, bringing all the bad passions of a divided com munity into constant collision—we are of opinion that such corporations not only cease to he useful, but are a positive and pernicious nuisance. Municipal reform in England and Scotland has proved this by facts so glaring that he wh o r u ns may read. Lord JOHN RUSSELL has sought for political power in the muddy waters of civ ie dissension. He has stirred the cesspool and brought the filthiest portions of the deposit to the surface. He has, like a mountebank who tumbles for pay, reversed the or der of nature. He has contrived to put the head down wards and the feet to flourish in the air. He has made men magistrateS who are hardly fit to be under clerks or watchmen at eighteen shillings a week. We remember a Christmas pantomime at Covent Garden Theatre, in which a field of turnips was converted into judges and barristers, with all the appliances of wigs and gowns. In our own town we have sundry of these metamorphosed turnips —talking, turnips too—in our WALMSLEYS, BOL- TONS, COGLANS, and SMITHS. An apti tude for small talk is now deemed an excelling claim to popularity, and an infallible test of magisterial efficiency. A large stock of the cant phrases of the day —a sturdy abjuration of common sense—an ineffable contempt of reasOn and logical induction—a redundant supply of open-monthed impudence—and a well furnished canteen of vulgar jokes, which, though stale and stolen, pass for wit—these constitute the trading capital of a local expected, from : the number of applications made for them by the Demaral'a planters, that one-•fourth would be transferred to that colony. Mr. YOUNG, the govern ment secretary, was about to proceed on a mission to the Havanna!) in order to make the necessary arrangements with the commissioners under whose controul they at present remain. We take the following from the official notices on this Copy of a Minute addressed to the Members of the Court of Policy by His Excellency the Lieutenant Govenor, upon the 26th February, 1836. GENTLEMEN,—I am desirous of recording my sentiments with respect to the proposed importation of liberated Africans from the island of Cuba into British Guiana ; and the period when an Ordi nance is before this court for regulating certain details connected with the measure, appears to afford me the most eligible opportunity. You are aware froni the Lord Glenelg's despatch, that the intro duction of the liberated Africans into this province is an arrangement which I had the honour to propose to his lordship. In drawing his lordship's attention to the subject I was well aware of the additiona l trouble, labour, nnd responsibility I necessarily would have to incur, if the proposition was acceded to. A person of a less anxious dispo sition (without laying himself open to the charge of indolence) might easily have avoided exposing himself to be called upon to undertake additional occupation of an unpleasant and harassing nature. A sense of duty,—a desire to promote, by every means in my power, the wel fare of an important province entrusted to my government,—and' above all, a wish to contribute towards the sum total of human happi ness and, in so much, to diminish the amount of human misery. have governed my conduct upon the present occasion. This magni ficent country will, fOr ages to come, amply repay the capitalist and enable him to employ any number of labourers. The liberated Afri cans are undervalued, ill-treated and neglected in the island of Cuba . So many have been sent there, by our Men-of-War, that the Spanish government are alarmed and uneasy as to the possible effects, that the introduction of such a number of free negroes may have upon their slave population. Here, on the contrary, the services of the liberated African will be valued, and he will be treated acrordingly. Slavery 1 FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 13, 1836. We have New York papers, after an unusually long passage of twenty-six days, to the 17th April. They contain some important intelligence from the Texas which we give as we find it, having no room for com ments:— From the Louisiana Advertiser, March 28, THE FALL OF BEXAR-THE ENTIRE OF THE TROOPS IN GARRISON PUT• TO DEATH-COLONELS CROCK ETT AND BOWIE KILLED ! We are indebted to a gentleman, passenger on board the steamer Levant, from Naehitoches, for the annexed letter giving the particu lars of the fall of Bexar—it is a copy of one addressed to the editor of the Red river Herald : " Six—Bexar has fallen ! Its garrison was only 187 strong, com manded by Lieut. Col. W. Travis. After standing repeated attacks for two weeks, and an almost constant cannonade and bombarding during that time, the last attack was made on. the morning of the oth inst. by upwards of 2,000 men, under the command of Santa Anna in person ; they carried the place about sunrise, with the loss of 520 men killed, and about the same number wounded. After about an hour's fighting the whole garrison was put ;to death, (save the sick and wounded and seven men who asked for quarter)—All fought despe rately, until entirely cut down ; the rest were cooly murdered. The brave and gallant Travers, to prevent his falling into the hands of the enemy, shot himself. Not art individual escaped, and the news is only known to us by a citizen or Bexar, who came to our army at Gon zales—but from the cessation of Travis' signal guns, there is no doubt of its truth. The declaration of independence you have, no doubt received, and you will, in a few days, receive the constautionPro posed by the ropuld Cols. James Boivie and David . Crockett are among the slain—the first was murdered his bed, to which he had been confined by ill ness—the latter, fell, fighting like a tiger. The Mexican army is estimated at 8,000 men ; it may be more or less." • A. BRISCOE.' FURTHER PARTICULARS.—We learn by the passengers of the schooner Camanche, eight days from the Brazos River, that the war in Texas has at length assumed a serious character. Many of those who left this city = , determined to lay down their lives in the cause of Texas have bravely yielded them up at Behar. Three young men from our oMce, we learn, are among the slain ; the names of Willimn Blazeby and Robert Moor have been mentioned to us ; that of the other we could not ascertain. On the 25th Feb. the Texian garrison in Bexar of 'l5O men only, commanded by Liut. Col. W. B. Travis, was attacked by the advanced division of Santa Anna's army of about 2000 men, when the enemy were repulsed with the loss of. many killed and wounded, variously estimated from 450 to 600, without the loss of a man of the garrison. This great slaughter was ascribed to the fact, that every man of the garrison had about eight guns loaded by his side. About the same time Cul. Johnson, while reconnoitering to the westward of San Patricio, with a. party of 70 men, were surrounded in the night by a large body' of Mexican troops. In the morning the commander sent in a summons to surrender at discretion, which was refused, and an offer to surrender as prisoners of war made. This was acceded to by the Mexican officer, but no sooner hail the Texians marched out of their encampmant and stacked their arms, that a general fire was opened upon them by the whole Mexican force, when the prisoners endeavoured to escape—three only of whom effected it, among them was Col. Johnson and one man who had been wounded. _ . Between the 25th of Feb. and 2d March the Mexicans were em ployed in forming entrenchments, around the Alamo and bombarding the place. - On the 2d of March Col. Travis wrote that 200 shells had been thrown into the Alamo, without injuring a man. • On the Ist of March, 32 men from Gonzales made their entry through the enemy's lines, and reached the Alamo—making the whole number in the garrison 182. On the 6th March, about midnight, the Alamo was assaulted by the entire force of the Mexican army, commanded by Santa Anna in person. The Mexicans fought desperately until day-light, when seven only of the garrison were found alive. We regret to .say, that Colonel David Crockett, and his companion Mr. Benton, also the gal.. lint Colonel Benham, of South Carolina, were of the number who cried fur quarter, but were told there was no mercy for them. They then continued fighting until the whole were butchered. One woman (Mrs. Dickinson) and a wounded negro servant of Colonel Travis's, were the persons in the Alamo whose lives were snared. Geaerat Bowie was murdered in his bed, sick and helpless. General Cos, on entering the fort, ordered Colonel Travis's servant to point out to him the body of his master; he did so, when Cos drew his sword and mangled his face and limbs with the malignant feelings of a savage. The bodies of the slain were thrown into a heap in the centre of the Alamo and burned. On General Bowie's body being brought out, General Cos said that he was too brave a man to be burned like a dog; then - added, pew no es cosa eschade—never mind, throw him in. Thefloss of the Mexicans in storming the place was estimated at not less than 1,000 killed and mortally wounded, and as many more dis abled—making with their loss in the first assault, between 2,000 and 3,003 killed and wounded. It is worthy of remark, that the flag of Santa Anna's army at Bexar was a blood red one, in place of the old constitutional tri-coloured flag, Immediately after the capture of the place, General Santa Anna sent Mrs. Dickinson and Colonel Travis' servant to General Houston's camp, accompanied by a Mexican with a flag, who was bearer of a note from Santa Anna, offering the Te:Aans peace and a general amnesty, if they would lay down their arms and submit to his government. General'Houston's reply was— " True, sir, you have succeeded in killing some of our brave men, nut the Texians are not yet whipped." The effect of the fall of Bexar throughout Texas was electric. Every man who could use a ride, and was in a condition to take the field, marched forthwith to the scene of war. It was believed that not less of 4,000 riflemen were on their way to the army when the Camanche sailed, to wreak their venge ance on the Mexicans, and determined to grant no quarter. General Houston had burnt Gonzales, and fallen back on the Colo rado with about 1,000 men. Colonel Fannin was in the fort at Gollid, a very strong position, well supplied with munitions and provisions, and from 400 to 500 men. The general determination of the people of Texas seemed to be to abandon all the occupations and pursuits of peace, and continue in arms until every Mexican eastsaf,the Rio del Norte should be exter minated. The loyal Gazette, of British Guiana, of March 10,11 reached us yesterday. It contains an important Ordi naiv enacted by the lieutenant-governor, Sir JAMES CARMICHAEL SMYTH, and the Court of Policy for the admission into Den►atara of African Blacks captured on their passage by British cruizers, and liberated by or der of the Courts of Mixed Gommissicn at the lia vannah. The Africans to be admitted under this ordinance will be apprenticed by the lieutenant-governor, to such planters as may apply for them, under its provisions. These direct that adults shall be bound for three years with a proviso against the separation of husband and wife, or parents and children, or other reputed near re lations. Children under twelve years of age, having no parents, are to be indented for such a period as shall in the opinion of the governor, extend to the time when such child will have attained his or her sixteenth year,—" and no longer." The other regulations for their education and general government are very minute, and . in , ac 'cordance with the spirit of the Slave Emancipation Act. It is stated.that there are in the neighbourhood of the Havanah 40,000 liberated Africans„ disposable under the orders of the mixed commission; Of these it was; • , . . ' , tiuian.

Before closing our present observations We must not • omit to point out one proposition, if . possible, more strikingly absurd than any before noticed, we refer to the clause relative to the imprisonment of debtors taken ins execution under process from this court. A scale of the times • of imPrisOutnent is set forth in the bill, the period of confinement being proportioned to the, amount of the demand—ahe lowest' suits entitling the creditor to retain his debtor in custody for the shortest period. Then follows dm clause limiting (in cases where two or more executions are issued and lodged against a debtor at the same time) the length of cooffneuient on the second and followieg execution to half the period of the first. An ex ample will render this proposed enactment more Supposing A, B, and C have separate demands, and obtain execution for them against ll: A for five sbilliugs, B for feu pounds, and C fur 1:1 , 1 19s. 11, 3 ,-d., the extreme limit of the in tended jurisdiction. A takes his debtor in eaecutiou first, the' demand being only live shillings, he will be entitled to detain him, say five days. B, for his £lO, and C, for his £l4 I9s. will only be entitled to detain him half the time beyond that of - A, that is 2 days. The reverse or the case is equally absurd— as A for a demand of is. will retain his debtor in confinement the same length of time as B for LW; and these periods of im prisonment are intended to exonerate the debtor as effectually front any further liability:, as though he had taken the benefit of the insolvent deiaors' act. This is an amendment truly l'or those parties who ase very willing to incur debts, but otherwise dis posed as to their honourable liquidatiuu.. , It is not our intention to comment upon these proposed alte rationswi;hout arming some observations as to what improves inents are requisite, and may be beneficially made, in the judi- • cial arrangements of this court; but it does appear to us that the framers of this bill haVe entirely overlooked the evil against - which they - ought to have provided, and attempted to prescribe a remedy where there ekists no disease. The fault lies not in the judicial arrangement, nor in the want of a more extensive jurisdiction. We have no hesitation in saving a respectable solicitor would be quite as efficient a chief commissioner as a barrister of live years' standing. The great objection to the present Court of Requests. is the total want of order or regularity in its proceedings. This arises not from any absence of authority, but front the practice of allowing litigant parties to be then-own advocates. Incapable of selecting what is or is not evidence applicable to their case, they occupy the time of court With a crowd of statements entirely tineign to the qaestion in issue. The assertion of the plaintiff is generally followed by a flat denial on the part of defendant; personal recrimination follow, amidst wrangling and dispute the decision is givcu, and the authority of tire court is oftentimes insufficient to prevent the unsuccessful party front inflicting summary punishment en his opponent even within its precincts. We appeal to these cognizant with this court as to the correctness of our statounts ; and if :such is the tainsequeuce arising from allowing parties to advocate their own - causes in demands of so trivial amount as those underalOs., what •willbe the conduct of parties when the claim is much more serious? To remedy this evil we would suggest, that in cases where the disputing•parties purpose to call witnesses, the court should decline hearing them personally, and insist on their ap pearance by attorney. By so doing a gm-eat saving of time would be obtained, and the glee: objection, the disorderly manner of giving evidence, removed. 'fan extension of the jurisdiction lie considered really necessary, five punch; should he the utino,st.. limit, will;au option reserved to the phillitlit in 4 1 eUtSetiCepcling. forty shillings, to sue in any other court, wilhuut being deprived by so doing or costs of suit. A power should also be given to the chief commissioner analogous to that given by the law amendment act to the judges of the superior courts, in cases where, on the hearing of the summons, the citiestion appears to involve any difficult question of law or fact, to dismiss the hear ing and refer it to the decision r o th l e it i j )i v a r t y ie . s proceeded to t t r o ial tl o ,i r s s e it il s .e i c -a t o s d h u ( c ) 7i l i d ni b i e n g at n e% h r i t ch c l ;f record, should entitle the success ful party to costs. With these trivial amendments we should consider, this court quite eligible to take cognizance of any questions properly iu the jurisdictiou of courts not of record. Of the present bill passing into law we - hate not the slightest ap prehension., The exclusive system of patronage it confers, from the appointment of the sergeant at mace or town sheriff to the lowest bound bailiff of the court' of requests, will find as little countenance in the upper house as from the commuuity at large. So great must be the alterations amd, amendments it must nevessa - rily undergo to render it iu any way beneficial, that iew, after its improvements, will recognise the first specimen of legislation given us by our reformed corporation. In couclusium we taus ui)rfoilditiistsptioayed u congratulate r that body cot the talent and disinterested spirit . Which w e doubt not the gh the whole of its enactwents, qualities public will properly appreciate. • But why not pursue the same policy in England ? The principle,-if good here, might- conditionally be good in Ireland. The analogy, they say, is not sustainable. What May be practicable on that side of the Irish chan nel May be quite the reverse on this. But we waive the point in contending for a principle equalfy available, if practicable, in both islands. In depriving Irelandof Corp o• rations-we found our defence of the - admitted difference, not more upon the inapplicability of circumstances than upon the essential and admitted error in the rule. Cor• porations are not now necessary in the local government o f this country. We have robbed the burgesses. We have given men, who are recognised as freemen, the power to vote as free men in the election of parliamentary repre sentatives, but we have denuded the same men of the right to vote for their municipal officers. This is glaring injustice. It is robbery as indefensible as ever was co►n witted. - It is the law of the land, however, and we are bound to respect it. But if robbery be expedient as regards one class of his Majesty's subjects, surely robbery, being part of state policy, in open disregard of national mora lity and responsibility, is equally applicable to the cir cumstances of another class. Ilre are not the apologists of fraud ; but we contend if one man be robbed so should another•. If he who sells palm oil is taxed, so should he who who sells shoes. If PETER SMITH, who sells newspapers, is taxed, so should JOHN SMITH, who sells lozenges and castor oil. Let us only ha►•e fair play. Irish corporations are declared td be a nuisance; they are, but so are English and Scotch corporations. What then ? We say dismantle both-7-eradicate the cancer in both cases. Leave the church to tight its own battles, but strip of power the papist, the unitarian, the quaker, the anabaptist, and all that republican faction who are contesting for power, not for religion, but . who make their several tenets a mere passport to po►►wer and place, and therek establish the must intolerable tyranny e►er recognise d% this or any other country. 'THE NEW COURT OF REQUESTS' BILL. (CONTINUED FROM THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD OF THIS DAY WEEK.) If it were our wish to cavil at words this bill would certainly afford sufficient scope to any inclination that way; but such not being our object we shall pass over many min or faults, and p ro . ceed in our review of the most objectionable clauses relating to the Court of Requests. The necessity for an alteration in the present arrangement we have already admitted, but we cannot concede that the sweeping change now proposed is by any means required. As the remodelling of this cow is in fact the 'real though covert aim of the bill we shall be more minute in our notice of it. It designs to establish a court for the recovery of small debts not exceeding -, (the sum proposed is / fifteen pounds,) to be held at one or more convenient place or places in the borough once or oftener during the week. A barrister of not less than five years standing to be the chief commissioner in the appointment of the council, and paid a yearly salary out of the borough fund. The recorder, stipendiary magistrate or ,magistrates, assessor and town-clerk of the borough, are also to be chief commissioners. The commissioner, with -- (two are intended) persons, who are to be qualified as councillors of the borough to be appointed annual_ commissioners, who, with a chief commissioner) are to form the court. All officers are to be in the appointment of the council, to whom they are to give security. All the fees of the court, and also those received by the officers, are to be paid into the borough fund, out of which •the salaries of these officers are to be provided. The jurisdic tion of the court is to extend to determine all disputes and dif ferences for auy suns of money nut exceeding fifteen pounds in all actions or causes of debt, except such questions as involve the right or title to any freehold or cha!tels real, or the balance of debt originally exceeding -- pounds, or any question of tithes, toll, or custom that may in any way relato to the fran chises, privileges, or ch ar t ere d r i g ht s o f th e b oroug h. Infants are to be rendered liable to b e sue d i n thi s cou rt, and service of i the summons of the court on o n e wh e r e two or more are mutly liable is to be deemed sufficient notice to all. No summonses are to be issued without deposit being made c ommensurate with the amount of the intended claim.. In cases where a debtor is taken in execution the creditor who first attaches bun is to de tain him in custody the full period of imprisonment allowed b y Mu the cou-t, according to the a o unt of his ebt, and all credit ors uu executions issued previously to the party being taken in exe cution succeeding the first are to tletatutheir debt or on l y hay the period ofThe first i mr i so nment. The present jurisdiction is to be extended to the p a rliameatary boundaries. LONDON L d 7'ES' 7' Nh WS. City, tr''etitiescluy Eceaog,ll-past Sareno'clock. There are none of the long-outstanililig arrivals in to-day, there being now due one Lisbon, one Mediterranean, one Jamai ca, one Leeward 'stand, one Mexican, ail one Brazil mail, with an innumerable host of vessels how almost every part of the globe. It is easily perceptible that this bill is in effect an attempt to palm upon the public an institution similar to that which has been already rejected in the proposed local courts' bill. On an inquiry in 1824 there were supposed to exist throughout the whole king dom about sixty-two courts partaking of the nature of courts of request, thirty two whose jurisdictions extended to debts or de mands pot exceeding two pounds, twenty-aline not exceeding live poun d s , and one only, that of bath, whose jurisdiction extended to debts amounting to ten pounds. As far,. therefore, as prece dent ma y be required to justify the extension of the jurisdiction Of this court to 1;15, it is unsupported. Had the inhabitants of Bath found the working of their court beneficial, there is little doubt the example would have been followed elsewhere.

A never-emling system or w rangling. and contradiction must inevitably follow. -So jealous is the legislature of any enactment compelling suitors to r esort to an inferior tribunal for trial ofissues involving any difficult question of lakror fact, that although in the law amendment act, (3d and 4111 William the Fourth,) which was a modification of the loca courts' bill, a power is given to the judges of the superior courts in actions commenced there for any debt or demand not amount,- . i n o t o £2O to .direct issues to be tried before a jury by the sheriff, or.some judge of an inferior court of record in the county w here the plaiutiff resides; yet that power is specially restrained I Rumours ate strongly curient here of the attro,lehing resig nation of Lord Melbourne, hut within. , has heel] put forth as to who will succeed hit , ' as P re njer.
