CAMPBELL'S Bill is the censorship which would thereby be confer red
upon the police. If every print or book seller were liable to the incur-
sions of these official moralists, life would become a burden to him.
As it is. the exposure of improper prints has wiry much decreased ;
and if the existing law were enforced, there WOW no reason why books
could not be as successfully dealt with. r , .

,-)t The Government, it seems, have resolved upon a great effort to
suppress the Cuban slave trade. Such instructions to General
CONCHA, we have reason to believe, have been extracted from the
Spanish Government at Madrid, as will lead him to resign his post the
moment he reads the despatch. A new governor-general will suc-
ceed, and he for a few months will suppress, fine, punish, and con-
demn right and left, till the Treasury at Havana falls low, his expe-
rience rising in the same ratio. Then strictness will resolve itself
into laxity, and laxity into connivance ; and in ten years the Cuban
slave trade will he as lively and as profitable under the new governor-
general as it was under the old. We shall fail on this occasion, as we
have done upon every other, unless we go to the fountain-head of all
the mischief, Africa itself. It is there, and there only, by trade and
commerce, that the true blow is to be etruck, which will destroy the
African foreign slave trade for ever.
