KING WILLIAMS' COLLEGE, ISLE OF MAN We copy the subjoined prize poem from the Manx Advertiser of Tuesday last. It is the production of a youth of eighteen, a native of the island, and was te cited by the author at ihe close of the annual examina tion of the students of the college, on Monday the 29th ult., before the Lord Bishop of Sodor and Man, the archdeacon, the clerk of the rolls, the lieutenant.gover nor, and a large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen. The college is likely to prove of great service, not only to the inhabitants of the Isle of Man, but to those of the northern Counties of England, being established for the purpose, giving a first rate classical education and sound moral and religious instruction, based on the doctrines of the church of England. Its superintendence is placed in the hands of gentlemen highly distinguished for their classical attainments and ability as teachers, and for their private worth. Among the successful can ditlateS for the honours - of the institution we find the names of several young gentlemen of Liverpool, and at the head of the 7th class that of, Peter Drinkwater Bourne. The prizes were distributed by his excellency the lieutenant-governor. ENGLAND. Ye who, amid. the vales of beauteous Greece, Once turn'd your mystic lyres to lays of Peace, — Or borne from rank to rank in flying car, Extoli'd the brave, and sung the deeds of war ; Where are ye now ?—where burns that sacred fire Whose glow was wont the kindling heat t' inspire ! Your `.`shrines are desolate, your land a dream," No more ve haunt each classic dell and stream; The bard now seeks your fabled aid no•more, Your songs are silent on your native shore.— Had then ! Bright Influence of Britain, hail ! Whose songs are breath'd on ev'ry passing gale ! With me—through battle field, and tented plain, Where groan the dying, and where rest the slain, Throiegfi scenes of quiet, and of pure delight, Unfold thy wings, and take the daring flight,—. With me, through unknown regions upward soar, And unaccustom'd strains euraptur'd pour ! ! Albion, Great Queen of Isles, of Arts, of Arms, Land of a thousand songs,—ten thousand charms— Thy happy cities, scatter'd far and wide, Uprear their countless spires in conscious pride ; Here—Commerce pours, exhaustless, golden spode, Assiduous Labour there unwearied toils.— , Thy hills with everlasting verdure crown'd, The blooming groVes, which girdle them around ; Thy spangled fields, and wide extended plains, Where glad, luxuriant Plenty ever reigns ; Thy shady vales where rnurn'ring streamlets play ; Tby rivers, whch in wild meaud'rings stray, On whose soft banks the blushing flow'rets spring, And sip the dews from Zephyr's balmy wing; Thy noble oaks which widely-branching rise And tow'ring proudly, mock the lofty skies ; Thy smiling villes, where Contentment dwells, And hamlets, where at eve soft music swells, And cottages, dispers'd in ample store, With woodbine, and with roses trellis'd o'er, Umbrageous walks, and solitary seats, Sequester'd glades, and cool and calm retreats, And mountains gilded by the Sun's last light, Which stretch their shadows, and call forth the night, These thy unrivall'd loveliness display, — But more than these demand my rising lay. Thine, Britain, were those warrior chiefs of old, Who, stern—deter min'd—patriotic—bold, For e the battle's hottest fury deed, For thee the blood-stained arm of vengeance bar'd ; They struggl'd long to break dire slav'ry's sway, With Hope their guide, along the darksome way, At last they triumph'd—Freedom's sun arose Whose splendour chas'd away their blackest woes, — For o'er thy plains her kindiing lustre glow'd, And vivifying streams of radiance flow'd, Her warmth thy heart with animation fill'd, Thy swelling veins with heav'nly fervour thrilPd ; Replete with zeal, a race of heroes sprung, Their hearts were oak—with steel their sinews strung, Their country's name the magic, witching spell, Which urg'd them ou—snstain'd them when they fell ; Which made them scorn Destruction's gaping jaws, And welcome death in Albion's blessed cause ; Their martial cry was borne on ev'ry blast, And ev'ry shout a thousand breath'd their last, Their songs of vicrry cleft the vaulted sky, 'And Fame, swift-winged, extoll'd their deeds on high. Oh i for a tongue imbued with living fire ! Un ! for a glowing hand to sweep the lyre, That all thy sons of glory I might praise, And sing the mighty deeds of former days,— Alfred, renowned, my song would first proclaim, And tell th' immortal honours of his name; His was the task, when Night o'erspread the land, The darkness to dispel with giant hand ; When fierce hostilities and feuds were rife, Ile held sweet converse with the arts of life : And 'mongst the countless glories of his reign, He rais'd Britannia's bulwarks on the main, And laid the corner-stone of Wisdom's pile, Whose fiuiah'd structure now adorns the lshi ; But Superstition's mists long brooded o'er, And linger'd still on thy benighted shore, Till burst the - dawn of that celestial day, Whose light now beams with mild and cheering ray ; The " Reformation's Morning Star" grew bright, And Papal clouds and darkness put to flight ; Great Wicliffe stood the foremost in the van, And fought the fight, t' obtain the truth for man. Long in unfathomable depths it lay,— His wisdom found, and bore the prize away.— Religion long in doubts and myst'ries veil'd, By secret foes, by friends profess'd assail'd, At last her gloomy vestments cast aside, And stood bedeck'd in all her maiden pride. No longer sway'd the mind with fear and dread, But love her sceptre,—Love adorn'd her head. No hirelings base stood forward in her cause, But men who reverenc'd her holy laws, Whose honest minds with zeal for truth were fill'd, Into whose soul Ver precepts were instill'd, From whom her native worth had won regard, To whom her smiles were counted for reward — They rose triumphant—scorn'd all hostile rage, (Though blood alone its madness could assuage) They stood rejoicing at the blazing pyre, And' calm and undismay'd beheld the fire; And when, consuin'd their bodies were no more, Their ransoni'd souls the mounting flames upbore; Thus Latimer—thus Ridley pass'd to Heaven, They pass'd iu joy—they felt their sins forgiv'n,— And many thus laid down life's bitter load, To join the martyrs in their blest abode. But more auspicious, brighter days were seen, Beneath the sway of thine illustrious Queen, When like the Phcenix, fabled bird of song, Whose boundless age its mystic deaths prolong, The Church more beauteous from her embers rose, And sing loud hymn, oblivious of her woes. But midst their joy is heard the voice of War, Which roaring waves re-echo from afar;— Th' affrighted deep resought its lowest fords, • When Spain appeared with all her countless hordes; — Then—then thy free-born sons call'd forth their might, And, arm'd by thee with courage for the fight, They onward flew, athirst for fame and blood, And Vict'ry, quick as light, among them stood.— The treuibling Oc ea n own 'd thy mighty pow'r, And bow'd submissive in that conqu'ring hour; he wofld proclaini'd thee " Mistress of the Sea," And Drake and Effingham preserv'd the free. The haughty Spaniard, "doubtful, and resign'd "To every pang that racks an anxious mind, " Ask'd of the waves that broke upon his coast, " What tidings ?"—and the surge replied—" All lost!" And though those days shine dim on Mein'ry's page, And though those actors long have left the stage, That blood whose current swell'd the fathers' veins, Flows through their offspring, and their might sustains; And still. where'er War's pealing thunder rolls, Undamp'd their fervour,-eunsubdued their souls, Free as the winds around their cradled Isle, Their charge, impetuous, breaks the firmest file; — See—when invasion menaced late their shore, ( A moment lost—and they were free no more) — They bravely rallied round their Sov'reign's throne, Their hearts were his—his danger was their own.— Uuited—firin—a mighty phalanx stood, Prepar'd in Freedom's cause to shed their blood; The gallant sailor left his happy home, Through pathless sear and distant clinics to roam, To other hands he left to train and twine Around his walls the . graceful eglantine;— "rwas his to grapple with th' opposiug hosts, Who breath'd fierce threernings 'gainst his native coasts, 'Twas his, when Britain's flag was once unfurl'd, To bear it on in triumph round the world.— And here my Muse strike every thrilling string, While Nelson's never-dving s fame I sing; He 'mongst the Sons o)' Glory foremost stands, And his renown the noblest strain demands! Where'er She winds and waves propel I'd his keel, The same his valour. and the same his zeal, No clime, however thick with horrors strew'd, Could stay the fearless course which he pursued, Not that destroying breeze whose blasting breath From Afric's shores bears pestilence and death; Not all the madd'ning storms which lash the deep, And with Destruction's besoni wildly sweep, Could e'er with mingled rage his heart dismay, Or bid his conqu'ring hand its stroke delay— His consort, Vict'ry, through the wat'ry waste, Careering flew with fiery wings of haste.— , But ah ! though laurels wreath'd his noble brow, Tho' conquest hung her garlands on his prow, Swift sped the bolt—the messenger of Death And Triumph 'caught her hero's parting breath, The cannon lamed a melancholy knell, And he exulting—cot:erring—bravely fell. — Him would I sing, while I the theme pursue, Who triumph'd on the plains of Waterloo, Who met the Eagle in his tow'rine flight, Ills talons broke, and strip'd him of hi s m i g ht.— But leave we now the battle's dire alarms, The shout of conflict, and the clash of arm's, • And pause awhile, where brighter scenes are spread, #Aral where the gifts of Ileav'n are richly shed, Where quick-discerning Reason holds her seat, And tramples vanquished Error 'neath her feet, Defies her foes—contenins their feeble shock, And points to Bacon, Newton, Boyle, and Locke, Who, break s g through the antiquated rules, ill Exposed the countless follies of the schools, 'faced all Effect up to its proper Cause, And freed from fallacy great Nature's laws, -.Bade Thought arise—and loosed from all control That heavenly radiance which pervades the soul, Whose brilliant beams illumine still the Isle, And on the Sons of Art and Genius smile, Vsliose deeds of worth are every Briton's boast, And hear his fame to earth's remotest coast; Here, too, Philanthropy, with angel's mien, And Love, and Joy, and Happiness are seen, Here smiling Peace, wrapt in pellucid light, Descends to earth, and vindicates her right.— Here Ang!ia too,—thy god-like sons are here, Who to thy sorrows bend Com passion's ear; Their charity extends freni clime to clime, And shall embrace the farthest verge of time.— Hail Howard! Guardian of th' afflicted, hail! NV hose loss ten thousand grieving tongues bee ad! Imbodied Spirit from the realms above, With all the harmless meekness of the dove! 'Tway thine; to imitate thy Saviour's waik, And with afflictions sons, like talin, to link; To ease the anguish of the galling chain, And soothe the capt ive's heart-eorroding pain ; Thfai scatterd'st comfort—consolation—light. — Alas ! too soon from earth thou took'st th) flight ! Yet like Elijah—(holy 111:111 of old) 'l'he mantle which thy limbs was wont t' enfold Thou flune'st o'er Wilberforce, the good—the great, Who, 'mid the factions of a troubled State, One course, with unabated zeal pursued, Till all his effirts crown'd at last he view'd. im, too, insatiate Death has snatch'd away, But from the realms of everlasting day, Where now he wears an amaranthine crown, With mild, benignant look, he gl4nces down, Beholds the Negro—Slav'ry's son no more, And hears hint his Redeemer's name adore, He meets his ransomed soul in spotless white, And at the Father's throne their songs unite.

This disastrous event has furnished an opportunity for the diSplay of extreme harshness and injustice .by the commissioners Of his Majesty's Woods and Forests, and which it is to be hoped the following publication may cause to be reconsidered and amended:— It will be remembered that on the outbreak of the fire the most powerful and essential service was rendered by the prompt attendance of the engines, and a strong body of the men of the London Fire Engine Establishment. . During the whole of the night sixty-five of the men, with fifteen of the best engines; were incessantly employed in rendering assistance, and for many days afterwards not only were the engines kept in readiness on the spot but from thirty to forty of the firemen were ordered -by their directors to assist in searching and clearing the ruins, for which their experience peculiarly qualified them. Much valuable property was then recovered; it was, in fact, one of these men that recovered the mace of the House of Lards, during the raging of the fire, by an act of great intrepidity and Judgment. The public services thus rendered were wholly gra tuitous, for the .Insurance Companies had not a single penny risked on the premises destroyed, or the still more important national property immediately adjacent. The directors of the companies neither sought nor would have accepted any compensation for themselves, feeling them selves most amply rewarded by the public benefit they had been enabled to render ; but it might have been expected the government would spontaneously have granted to the men who had toiled so hard in its service some consideration for the work they had performed. The men generally expected such would be the case, and *ere encouraged in the hope by the observations made by different nole lords and members of the administration who were assisting during the calamity. Lord Hill, who was in Westminster Hall when the general burst an nounced the first arrival of a number of the powerful and well equipped engines of the establishment with a full complement of experienced men, was heard by several to exclaim, " Well done, my boys; bring as many more as you can, and we'll makel gentlemen of the whole of you." Lord Hill- is a highly honourable nobleman, and cannot but be ignorant that the promise of reward thus held out has not been fully realised by the public department with which the business rested. Promises were likewise liberally -made by other influential personages. The firemen are, by. a stern rule of the establiShnient, pro , - hibited from asking remuneration for any 'Service per formed,and the matter, therefore, waisuifered to rest, the hope still remaining that when the committee ou the subject made their report, something would - be done. That report at last appeared, but, to the mortification Of the men, and - to the surprise of every person connected with the establiiihnient, not only was no proposal made of gratuity for the service rendered, but even the mere verbal acknowledgment of it was withheld. But if the meanness in leaving the men without any gratuity or acknowledgment for services rendered to the nation must itself excite astonishment, what must be the feeling when it is known that one of the men, dreadfully bruised and crippled while directing an engine at the fire, has been actually refused the slightest compensation, even although in his particular case the committee of the directors of the fourteen combined fire-offices themselves memorialized the commissioners of Woods and Forests in his behalf. It was the only claim, or rather request, they made, and it was not granted. The man referred to is John Hambleton, who at the time filled the situation of sub-engineer at Watling-street, which is the head station. At one period of the fire it became of the utmost importance to arrest the flames at a particular part of the Speaker's house. It was a task of difficulty and danger, and this man, who had for fourteen years been in the employ of the fire- offices, was selected to perform it, reliance being placed on his intrepidity and experience. While directing the branch of an engine on the flames, a sudden crash was heard, and in an instant lie was buried beneath a heap of ruins, which had formed part of the roof of the Speaker's house. He was extricated as soon as possible,.and . conveyed to Westminster Hospital, where it was ascertained, besides many painful con tusions, his right leg had sustained a compound fracture near the ancle, and another a little below the knee joint. The poor fellow continued for upwards of three months an in-patient, and to this very day remains a cripple, requiring a crutch, and is still under the care of the hospital surgeon as an out-patient. He had at the time of the accident a wife and three young - children, and the fourth has since been added. This family must have been wholly destitute had not the directors of the fire-offices liberally continued to him his salary, alld which they are still doing. It is rumoured that the very circumstances of his being-thus taken care of by his generous employers was thought by the commissioners a sufficient reason why they should do nothing for him. This, however, surely must be a mistake, for the commissioners could never think of making an act of humanity done by others a plea or vretence for not themselves discharging a debt of strict justice.--London paper. TWELFTH OF JULY. We (Dublin Evening Mail,) lament to say that in some few instances—and they were very few indeed . — there was a departure from the exhortations of the friends of the Orangemen, as well as from the solemn injunctions of the Grand Lodge, by exhibitions of a nature calculated •to injure the character of . the institution. The avidity with which these opportunities were seized, as an occasion for a violation of the peace, by the Roman catholic party, shows the prudence and discretion of the course recom mended; and we can very well imagine the mortified feelings of disappointment with which that party are filled that such few opportunities occurred for the gratifi cation of their malignant passions, and the manifestation of their unextinguishable hate. Upon the whole, there is Much cause for the congratu lation upon the forbearance shown by our Orange brethren amidst the sneers, and taunts, and insults to which they were subjected—in many instances, absolutely goaded on to that which has been imputed to them as a crime; and although accounts have reached us from every part of Ireland, and, in some places, bringing the particulars of the peaceable celebration of the festival, we do not find that a collision took place anywhere except in Belfast. We subjoin the account, and shall give, in our next pub-. Ilication, extracts from the private letters that have reached us:— BELFAST.-MELANCHOLY Loss OF LIFE.-At a late hour on • Saturday night, two arches, decorated with orange and purple flowers, were erected in Sandy-row, according to usual custom, on the anniversary of the battle' of the Bovne—one at the rear of the Institution grounds, and the other near the bridge over the Blackstaff river. A ❑umber of the inhabitants of that dis trict, chiefly children, remained as a guard over the arches du ring the night; but there was not the slightest indication of riot or disturbance. About eleven o'clock on Sunday forenoon, the Orangemen, and other protestant inhabitants of Sandy-row and the neighbourhood, amounting to an immense number, at tended divine service in Christ's church. They were well dress ed and well conducted ; and did not proceed in procession or in a body, but in detached parties, without any display of flags, music, or party symbols. The church was :crowded, and the utmost decorum was observed. Shortly after the service had commenced, a large party of Itoman•Catholics assembled near the Potted, and erected a green arch across the street, with two flags, one green and the other white. This was an unprece dented proceeding, and owl(' have been done from no other motive than to irritate the protestant party, and excite them to commit a breach of the peace. 'Before the sermon was con cluded, an attack was made by the Romanists on some protest ants near the church. .Although the shouts, yells, and noise arising from the throwing of stones, was so great as to allow the voi ce of the preacher to be heard with difficulty, and the pen ple in the church were, no doubt, deeply anxious for the safety of their friends outside, yet, so unwilling were they to interrupt or disturb the service that not even one man lett the church. Their.conduct was, indeed, most exemplary. As the day advanced, the numbers on•both sides increased. The Roman Catholics occupied Pound-street, Barrack -street, Lettuce-hill, Institution-place, and College-square, North, from whence they made occasional sallies, and threw vollies of stones at the protestant party, who were stationed in Sandy-row. In the course of the,day a detachment of the =kith regiment, and a party of inouuteil dragoons, with the constabulary, and town constables, were brought to the spot, and succeeded in keepiug the contending pal ties asunder. Johu Agnew, Esq., sovereign, and chief magistrate, and A. M. Skinner, Esq., J. P., wero also iii attendance; and, whilst our reporter remained on the ground, were most actively engaged iu preserving the peace. The military were formed across the street in two divisions, near Christ's Church, and whilst they remained there, no dis turbance of any consequence took place. About seven o'clock iu the evening, however, the soldiers were withdrawn for a short time, to quell some rioting iu King-stre;:t ; and immediately on their retiring, a dreadful conflict took place. The stones weie flying in showers, and yet, strange to Li)+, few persons, if any, sustained injury. The military soon returned, and peace was instantly restored. The green arch was torn down several times, but as quickly replaced. The magistrates endeavoured to prevail on the protestant party to take down their arches, but did not comply, alle g i n g th a t they were not inf r i ng in g a ny law, and that it had been the practice, for many years, to have simi lar erections on the 12th of July ; but they stated that if the green arch was taken down, they would remove the Orange ode. Shortly before eight o'clock, Mr. Agnew, the sovereign, left the ground, the riot act having been previously read, and the only magistrate then left, we believe, was Mr. Skinner, who again remonstrated with the people, and urged them to take down the arch. This advice, however, was not attended to at the moment, and about half-past eight the military were ordered to remove that nearest to the church, and they advanced fur that purpose. The dragoons used their sabres in the attempt to cut it down, but they could not accomplish it, and the infantry at last succeeded in pulling it down. This tended to irritate the protestants, and they became considerably excited. Some stones were thrown which struck the soldiers, and the military were then ordered to fire . About a dozen of shots were discharged, and, we regret to add, that a young woman, Ann Moore, was shot through the body and almost instantly expired. A coal porter, named Trainer, was also struck by a ball, which broke )2is arm and wounded him in the abdomen. tie was carried to 'the hospital, and every attention paid him, but, we understand, that it is feared he will not recover. Several others received gun shot wounds, and some were cut by the sabres of the dragoons, but, we believe, none dangerously. After the shots were fired the Roinish party left the ground, and shortly afterwards a number of persons, said to be a part of the same mob, some 'of them carrying green boughs, attacked the house of a Mr. Scott, spirit-dealer, at the corner of Millfield and Brown square. They broke open the door and windows, rifled the money-drawer, from which it is said they took about twenty pounds in bank notes, and drank or destroyed ten gallons of spirits. Mr. Scott, who is a protestant, and his wife, were ab sent at the time in a friend's house in Cromac-street,.and the house was locked up. On his return, about nine o'clock, he found his neat and comfortable dwelling a complete wreck—the : windows totally demolished, not a vestige of glass or frame re maining. Several other houses in that neighbourhood were also attacked, and the windows smashed. About seventeen persons were taken into custody and lodged in the police-office; they are, we believe, all protestants. Not one of the other party was arrested, nor were any of them, so far as we could ascertain, in jured in their persons. The general opinion is, that had the orange arches been suffered to remain, and no attempts made forcibly to remove them, there would have been no necessity for firing on the people, and, consequently, no loss of life. Dur ing the night the town was tolerably quiet, although the people did not disperse; but yesterday morning there was a consider able assemblage of persons in Sandy-rote and the adjoining streets. Some murmurs were expressed by the protestants at the melancholy catastrophe of the previous evening, and many of them declared that there had been no real necessity for the military firing. These expressions excited fears that farther disturbances might ensue in the course of the day, and, accord ingly, the magistrates and military were in constant attendance. Some rioting took place in King-street, Mill-street, and Brown square. The windows of several houses were broken, and some individuals injured by blows of stones—but we have not heard of any very serious injuries having .been inflicted. We under stand that an inquest was held on the body of the young woman who was killed, and also an investigation into the whoe of.the circumstances connected with the riots, will take place this fore noon. In the course of the riot in Sandy-row, on Sunday evening, Captain A. M. Skinner received a blow of a stone on the head which knocked him off his horse—but whether befoie or after the soldiers hid fired, we have not ascertained.—Belfast Guardian. BALLYMACARRETT.—We have much satisfaction in stating what is highly honourable to the inhabitants of Ballyinacarrett, that the 12th of July passed over without the slightest disturb ance. Indeed, we have been informed by some of the respect able inhabitants who had an opportunity of knowing the fact, that neither on Sunday nor Monday was a single individual seen the least intoxicated. An orange arch was erected late ou Saturday night across the road, which was suffered to remain until Mjinday, when those who had put it up removed it. Nei ther military nor police had occasion to act in the district, al though the small party of constabulary stationed there, who are, indeed, active and useful men, were in readiness had their services been requisite.—lbid. THE SPANISH SLAVE TRADE. (From the Times.) Our Madrid correspondent, in a letter published in The Times of Thursday last, spoke with just praise of a treaty which Mr. Villiers has just concluded with the Spanish government on the subject of the slave trade. But in. order to form a correct estimate of the merits of Mr. Villiers in having succeeded . in putting an end tb this iniquitous traffic, it will be necessary to point out the numerous difficulties and obstacles which he had.to over come, and which he has overcome by a rare combinatidn of sagacity and judgment, of conciliatory manners and energetic perseverance. :One of the first stipulations of the treaty of 1817 with Spain, for the abolition of the slave trade, was, that the King of Spain should immediately receive £400,000 sterling in oonsideration of having made it, which he did. And the treaty was thought very cheap, and long and tiresome was the process by which the ministers were brought down to this moderate sum. The fact is, the Spaniards felt no call for the abolition of an advantageous traffic, neither do they yet. It is probable that no treaty ever would have been made had not the King been, in fact, bribed by this £400,000, and his ministers consoled with the idea that the stipulations of the treaty might be easily evaded. The King received the money, and the treaty has been nearly a dead letter. In order to be carried into effect, it was necessary for. the Spanish government to issue decrees for its execu tion, and see them executed. It issued decrees, but was very regardless of obedienee„to them. The treaty was soon found imperfect, and an explana tory act was added in 1822, but which V, as never com municated to the authorities of the Havannah till 1826, and that only at the instance of the British minister at Madrid. In the same spirit the whole of the treaty was permitted to be neglected, and never has the slave trade been more flourishing at the Havannah than subsequent to the solemnization of the treaty of 1817. Between the years 1823 and 1832 no less than 325 re gular slavers left the port of Havannah for the coasts of Africa; 236 returned, importing in them into the island of Cuba upwards of 100,000 slaves. Of the 89 vessels that did not return, some were captured by the British' cruisers, and the rest have perished with or without their . wretched cargoes on board. The treaty of 18ta was limited in its operation,. and very defective in ifs provisions : it only abolished the slave trade north of the Line. The execution of the treaty was left too much to the good faith of the parties con cerned. There was no doubt of .the zeal of the British government, but the cruizers found,. on attempting to follow their instructions, that the conditions of the treaty rendered them almost inoperative. First, they could only seize a vessel if slaves were actually found on board, or could be proved to have been on board during that particular voyage. The last case gave rise to all kinds of chicanery, and if the captain failed in his proof, he was saddled with all the enorthous expenses of demurrage, damages, and costs. Conse quently a cruiser was extremely shy of touching a vessel without slaves were actually •found on board, though there might be even pretty good evidence that they had all been thrown overboard in chains during the chase. The provision of slaves being necessarily found on board went very near also to making the treaty a nullity; for the vessels employed in the traffic were kept on and off the coast of Africa until the cargo was collected from the country, and as the slaves arrived they were confined in huts on the shore. When the cargo was all ready a favourable moment was chosen for loading it. In the night, in a fog, or when the cruiser was watch ing elsewhere or in chase, the slaves were hurried on board, and the vessel disappeared. Thus a cruizer au thorized under the treaty to seize all vessels having slaves onboard would be perhaps for two or three months beating about the most, unhealthy coast in the world, with a slaver under their very nose, all equipped for the cargo, and the very cargo gathering in sight on the strand, and yet be unempowered to touch. . • In short, the result of the operation of the treaty was, that vessels with slaves on board were very rarely caught, while vessels fitted up with false decks, bulk-heads with airholes, shackles, bolts, and huge supplies of rice and water, the food of the destined victims, were to be seen everywhere. A provision of the treaty of 1817 was, that a captured vessel which was pronounced a good prize by one of the courts established for the trial of these cases should be confiscated and sold, the proceeds being placed in the prize fund. Now, the slave vessels are of a peculiar structure, built for fast sailing, and at the same time for carrying a living cargo ; they . are, consequently, ill adapted for any other trade ; when, therefore, they came to be sold they were bought again to be employed in the same trade, and, as they were sold where few purcharses existed, they were bought cheap by the very persons who were the last into whose hands they ought to have fallen. Various plans have been attempted to avoid this evil, hut" hithe►to all those schemes have failed: sooner or later these vessels return to their original destination. The inefficiency of the' treaty of 1817 was soon per ceived. In 1820 it came, accofding to its provisibns, into full operation ; and from that time to the end of 1833,. it may be seen from the volumes of the collection of " state papers" that the efforts of the British government have been - incessant, in orner to procure a revision of it, or at least the addition of articles which would breathe vi' bur into IL . _ The history of these negotiations is a remarkable ex ample, on the one hand, of benevolent zeal combined with patience and long suffering, and, on the other, of a shame less indifference to a sense of national honour, of ob-' stinacy, and the insolence of silent neglect. The-notes of the British ministers have lain often many months, some years; others, and those the major part, have never been acknowledged as received, When answers .have been given they were evasions ; sometimes, indeed, .pro misesi.tvere made of royal orders, which, if issued, -were.

"St R,-I am directed by the Earl of Aberdeen to request that you would inform the Committee of the West India Planters and Merchants, that in consequence of a representation made to his Majesty's government, to the effect that an issue of Silver Coins passing current in the West Indies at 3d. and 11c1. as well as shillings and ::ixpences, would promote the apprentice ship system, it has been determined that these Coins be sup plied by the Officers of the Mint, to such masters of appren ticed labourers in the West Indies, or such of their agents, as shall snake application for them. "I have the honour to he, your obedient servant, "W. E. GLADSTONE. tWe have copied the above from Jamica paper of the 9th June, and We have only to add that we !Live seen some of the ut.mr-coins, the threepPnee and three-haltpatce pieces, which are exceedingly beautiful, and seem well adapted for colonial cusrency.j THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. disobeyed, as it was expected they would be—nay, even perhaps as the authorities were instructed to do. . Things were in this state when Mr. Villiers arrived in : Madrid. :They Were ; if possible, worse; for Mr. Adding, ibri'haa been still less fortunate than his predecessors. The slave trade was one of. the subjects that earliest attracted Mr. Villiers's attention. It was found, how ever, to be embarrassed with difficulties of a kind by no means easy to be overcome. Independent of the disgust and weariness attached to a subject which had been so often pressed and so often evaded, where the Spanish go vernment was conscious of bad faith, and the British government animated by a sense of ill-treatment—inde pendent of all this, the means of acting upon Spain were not apparent. The Spaniards are not warmed by any philanthropic zeal, they do not even comprehend hu manity on a national scale, and they naturally have attri buted all along our enthusiasm in this cause to interested motives. It is fancied in Spain that we are bent upon selfish views; that, seeing our colonies in the state they are, we are jealous of the prosperity of Cuba and Port Rico, and that we would gladly stop the supply of slaves in Spanish settlements, because we can no longer pro cure them in our own. In addition to this jealousy, the slave trade is, with some drawbacks, a source of wealth to Cuba, an island which, fur a multitude of reasons, is deemed a possession of great importance in Spain, and the popular opinion of which the government at home is obliged to menager with much delicacy. Excepting,.per haps, by a few long-sighted persons in Cuba, - ,the pros perity of the colony is cons;dered intimater' connected with a copious supply of fresh slaves, and already the mixed commissions, the controversies on the subject of slaves smuggled into the island, and other sources of dis pute under the. old treaty, have produced much prejudice against English emancipators. these persons have their zealous representatives in Madrid. It must be confessed that the prospect held out but a poor promise of success. A yearand eight months of in defatigable perseverance, and the exercise of very pecu liar talents for diplomatic proselytism, combined with the influence which the present political state of Spain gives to the.government of Great Britain when dexterously wielded, have enabled Mr. Villiers to accomplish every object the most zealous emancipator has ever ventured to trope. The treaty solemnized on the 2Sth of thin month, and of which the singers are M. Martinez de la Rosa, whose powers were renewed by the Queen Regent after he quitted office for this purpose, and Mr. Villiers, pro vides for every case that is likely to occur in carrying on this abominable traffic, and guarantees their execution in Arch an effectual manner that we may now look for ward to a speedy destruction of .its last strong hold—the Spanish flag. Formerly none of the crew of a slave vessel were pu nishable, though they might have been caught in the act of consummating their crime . . By the new treaty, not only are the mater, pilot, and crew to be visited with severe punishment, as in cases of piratical robbery, but also Me owners of vessels condemned for trafficking in slaves—a most serious blow to the wealthy citizen, who in perfect security battens at home on the fruits of the crimes his capital gives birth to on the coasts of Africa and ; America. The new treaty also puts an end altogether to the evil of which mention has been made, viz., that of evading the present law by collecting the cargo on the shore, and waiting the opportunity to sail away when the cruizer is out of sight; for. this treaty embraces the equipment articles ofwhich so much has been said. By these articles a vessel fitted up for the slave trade is as liable to be seized and condemned as if it were taken with its cargo. Another article meets the difficulty res7 , ecting the ves sels bought in afterbeing condemned and again employed in the slave trade. It is provided that every vessel so condemned shall, previous to sale, be broken up and sold in pieces—a most effectual means of ridding the seas of these dangerous craft. In future all ships captured by British cruisers are to be made over to the British government, so that, as Spa nish cruisers capture none and British cruisers all, we have the power of not only giving liberty to these unfor tunate people, but of securing it, which previously was a grand difficulty. In short, the new treaty puts the abolition of the slave trade, which now almost solely flourishes under the Spa nish flag, entirely in British hands, and the result may be readily anticipated. It may be hoped that in a very brief time the enormous expense attendant upon keeping numerous cruisers for this object in the most sickly part of the globe will cease to be necessary, and that in our endeavours to prevent the horrors of the slave trade we may not be called upon to sacrifice the lives of great numbers of our most valuable fellow-countrymen. At present we employ a large force, which is restrained by the regulations oldie old treaty from acting with any efficiency ; under the new treaty a very small force will soon render the seas absolutely untenable even for ves sels designed to deal in slaves. INTER-COLONIAL APPORTIONMENT, The commissioners appointed by the act for the abolition of slavery have, according to the directions, and in the mode pre scribed by the.4sth clause of that act, assigned and apportioned the sum of £20,000,000 sterling to and amongst the said colo nies, rateably and in proportion to the product so ascertained f or each respectively, in the manner following, that is to say:— Average - S - .3 ,. :: ::1 t " t - A _ Proportion of the value of a 7,-.5.2 ss Colony. slave ... ~..—= :...' 42 ° , "," colony from 1822 ,E -c , ..t. to which the ; $ 3 . 2 . .) -'' 4,.. is entitled. 7 . . £ s. d.

I again repeat that such an instance of the absence of crime reflects the highest honour on this county, and is a subject of very great gratifica tion to me, and for congratulation to von.
