On the 24th June a large meeting was held, having
been called for the purpose of expressing the sense of
the people of Jamaica, in relation to the violstion of
the slave treaties by the Spanish and Bras lien
governments. Resolutions were pissed to the effect
that the English government be petitioned to t pen
negotiations with those governments for the en-
forcement of these treaties.
It was asserted that the slave trade daring the past
year was as great as the average of the seven years
prior to the passage of the act abolishing it. The
following facts, some time ago brought before the ,
Imperial Parliament, were reproduced to show the
affect of emancipating negroes. It was shown that,
since the paiwing of the British Slave Emancipation
Act, of the sugar estates then in cultivation in
the island, 140 have been abandoned, and the works
broken up. There estates, containing 168,032 acres
of land then in cultivation, furnished employment f.,r
22,533 labourers; that since the lame period, 455
coffee plantations have lwen abandoned and works

Letters of the 10th from Constantinople mention
fresh subjects of dispute between Russia and Turkey

determined, after the expiraticn of the stipulated term,
to withdraw those coucessions in favour of Russian

PROBABLE RUPTURE
RU6SIA BETWEEN AUSTRIA
AN P.
Our Berlin correspondent's letter of the 22nd inst.
informs us of the reception by Prussia of a very
threatening note from Austria respecting the German
question. The Cbk,grie Gazette of Saturday publishes
the following telegraphic despatch from Berlin, dated
Friday evening, the 23rd:
" I have just learned from an authentic source that
Austria a few days ago entered a formal protest
against the assembling of the Reichstag, threatening
intervention by force. The council of ministers sub-
sequently met, and subjected the elective laws for the
parliament to their last revision in reference to
Prussia, and also resolved upon sending an answer to
the Austrian note, in which the rights of Germany
are energetically upheld, and which declares that
force will be met by force. The despatch in question
has already been sent off."
Since the foregoing was in type we have received
the following from our correspondent :
BERLIN, Nov 23.
The information I forwarded yesterday Teepee:big
the threatening note said to have been received from
Ans'ria is confirmed. All are on the alert fa the
events which the immediate future may b leg with it.
The Cologne Gazette, of Sunday, says that the pro-
test from Austria did not arrive in the shape of a
formal state paper, bat in an ordinary despatch, and
that the answer of Prussia was transmitted in the
same form.

The share market to-day is again heavy in tone,
and the quotations in most lines are rather lower than
on Saturday. The heaviness of the market during the
lest few days is attributable to the general absence
from the market of the public as buyers, a state of
things which is peculiarly favourable to the operations
of the speculators for the fall. Great Westerns have
experienced a farther decline in value; they were last

'Bllq—Verse liner are mot addressed to you to you
character m a member of the Auettioa goventatut ;
they are addressed to you personally, ea a gentleman
whose liberal and enlightened views left a lasting
impression on my mind when I had the pleasure to
male your aequaintanos in Vienna. An excuse for
this step you will find in the principles of humanity
and cnvilisation which at that time were equally che-
rished by as both. Mindful, then, of the opinion
which recommended me to your friendly at-
tention in the year 1847, I cannot suppose
that you are now km favourably inclined towards
them than you were then. Public opinion in my
country is horror-struck at the cold-blooded cruelties
which bare been exercised on the fallen leaders of
the Hungarians. The feeling is not confined to one
class or to one particular party, for there is not a man
in all England who has defended, either in writ;eg
or by word of mouth, the acts of Austria. The
opinions of the civilised states of the Continent will
have already reached you, while that of America will
very soon be known in Vienna. Yon are too
enlightened not to be aware that the unani-
mous verdict of contemporaries mast also be
the indotitest of history. But have you con-
sidered that history will not deal with the brutal
soldiery, the creatures of cruelty, bat with the
ministers, who are vespossible for Oak mimes. I

in a time when the public conscience can, be treated
with contempt, without fear of the punishment that
followed in the seventeenth century ? Is it not, on the
contrary, the ;mealier characteristic of our time,
that Coeds of violen-e, whether committed by
governments or by people, are followed by reaction
with aatoni.hing celerity ? Bet I am taking too great
a liberty in offering to defend your reputation,
or in permitting myself to be interested for
your personal safety. I appeal to ycu, in the
name of humanity, to make en end to this renewed
reign of terror, which, not content with butchering
its victims, mast also put to the rack all the.better
feelings of !annuity, for the world has advanced too
tar in its civilisation long to permit upon its stages
heroes like Alva or Haynau. I conjure you publicly
to protest against the judicial butchering of prisoners
of war; against the still more disgraceful whipping of
females; and, finally, against the practice of kid-
napping; in order that you may be acquitted of all
participation in the responsibility for acts which

the Lord High Commissioner announced to the Capin-
lonians that he must either try five of their fellow-
citizens by court-martial for treason, or that he must
produce new acts of accusation and new legal pro-
ceedings. The Lord High Commissioner, however,
has at length acknowledged the necessity for limiting
his own powers, and hes published an amnesty. Two
exceptions are owlet° the amnesty—Pierato Cntreeri
and Nievlaus Nietara were to be examined on the fol-
lowing day before the court at Lexari. The sentence
on Count Gerasimo Brin, who wee taken prisoner
with arms in his hand, and who was sentenced to 21
years' imprisonment, has been commuted to two years
on account of his idiotcy.

I presume it will be ver7 difficult for those wh

in Naples. The most sincere Mead of despotism must
regret a policy which leads to republicanism, whilst
the lover of justice and honesty will shudder at the
violation of every law of civilization. Attests con-
tinuo. Some thirty paid agents of the government are
employed in denouncingof

stitutional opinions- the testimony of one
these degraded scoundrels the e:-deptry Maya, who
has printed his protest against any movemsat
previous to the revolt of May 15th, is under
an order of arrest as a revolutionist. Many others
are in a similar position. R.'galdi, the well-known
poet, has aetWly fallen into the hands of the police
without any accusation whatever. The deputies
Poetics Pica, Armen, Barbarize, Dragonetti, and Spa-

buildiag of Conway Castle, which he completed in 1284.
Edward made Conway • suet g military station, and
dratted the town a charter, securing to the burgesses consi-
derable privileges. The speaker deeeri'sed the various bus-
tale proceedings which were mule bef,ra the final ea) jug --
tion of the Welsh people, and passed on chronologically in
its history to later times. The castle is at present Meld from
the crown by Lady Erskine, at an annual rent of Bi. Bd. and

panes through the town. Conway is the scene of the
tragedy of " The Castle Speer'," by Lewis, and farms one

Bast India Compiny, or of the efficient supervision of
the Board of Control.

On examining these accounts since 1829 to the
present time, the result is a very melancholy one.
For out of the nineteen years for which we have

yielded a surplus over expenditure in five years, as

DEATH OF THE EX-KING CHARLES

ALBERT.

The Oriental Company's steam-packet Montrose,
Captain Francis Meehan, arrived at Southampton
yesterday, and landed her mails under the charge of
Lieutenant Langton, R.N., Admiralty agent.
Her dates are: Gibralter, 24th July; Cadiz, 25th;
Lisbon, 29th; Oporto, 30th ; Vigo, 30th. Among the
cargo ere 11 packages of specie.
The ex-kiag Charles Albert died, after intense suf-
fering, on the 28th ult. at Oporto. His body was em-
balmed, and placed in the cathedral, to await the arrival
of a steamer appointed to take his remains to Ge
nos. On his death becoming known, the church-
bells of Oporto were tolled, minute guns were
fired, acd the public offices were ordered to be closed
for three days. A general mourning was likewise
directed, to last for eight days, as an additional mark
of respect to the deccutd.
In his last moments the ex-king was surrounded
by the Count Colleges, general of the Piedmontese
artillery and senatnr; M. de Launey, charg
d'afraires at Lisbon ; M. Boubonne, consul-general. at
L•ron ; and M. Ribieri, ancient physician of. the
deceased monarch.

Count Asilio, Mioiater from Rolland, had arrived at
Lisbon. _ _

The loss to the Portuguese revenue caried by the
Spanish tariff had been estimated at IA 00 cantos of
reis. This alarming deficiency had induced the
Portuguese Minister of Finance t.l consult the
&lithe!' merchants as to the best afros to be adopted,
&Lel they recommended a general r eduction of duties
on all articles, and a treaty with 14' mgland.
Solduhs's ages is were endear curing to overthrow
Thomar. The government war, stated to be pursuing
a conciliatory course towards all partite. An embez-
zlement of public money hs d been discovered in the
Excise department. Set oral usassinations, from
pilitical motives, had '.aktn place. The northern
post through Spain bed been stopped and robbed.
The Spanish tariff, ar.d consequent falling off in the
Portuguese Customs dwies, was regarded as a heavy
blow to the hopes of the foreign bondholders. It was
rumoured tbat Frontecra had resigned, and, should
this prove true, it must injure the position of Thomar.

On Wednesday evening a mew ing of 'he inhabitants
of Leicester was het in the Tows-hall, tor the purpoee.rof ea-

Hungary by the Ruseiane, and to rounder the propriety of

Mayor (W. BLit, Eel) in the ehair.
The following reeolutiona were unanimous. y adoyeed :
" Teatthe Austrian cabinet, by violating the solemn wa-

ing in the aid of Ruda to pot down a people who demand
nothing inure than tho continuance of the sights guaranteed
• them by their ancient conetitottnn and the coronation
oath. of each IllreMiTll emperor as King of Hungary, until
the accession of the preeent emperor to Me throne of
Austria, has torfii ed all claim to the allegiance of the Hun-
garisre, who. its the opinion of this meeting, ate fully justi-
fied In declaring and maiataising their in& indents.
"That we view wilt frelii.r of the manna indLreatioe
the unprovoked invades of the Hungarian territory by 'he
Emperor of Ramie as • arms violation of every principle of
intenistional Law, and as fraught with danger to the peace
of Europe geserally, and to the interests of this cowry in
particular.
' That in the opinion of this meek( it is desirable that
the British government do immediately recognise the inde-
pendence of Hungary, and urge upon the govern-
ment the withdrawal of their troops as esseutsel to the peace
of Europe.
" That a memorial founded upon the foregoing resolutions
be pretested to her M..jiry's Minieters, and that the mem-
bers for the borough be Ergo steel to present and support the
name."
Mr. Senallflield, proorietm of the Leicestershire Mercury,

R. D. Allen, of Belper, surgeon, deposed that the imme-
diate cause of death was obviously rupture of the lower part
of the oesophagus, to the extent of an inch and a half, the
effect of which was that the contente cf the stomach found
their way into the cavities of the chest Rupture of the

COMMISSION OF LUNACY.

THIS DAT.
This morning a commission de lunatic° inquire/id°
was np•ned at the Grav'sinn Crifee-house, before
Winslow, Esq., to ingoire into the state of mini of Charles
Dean, aged 89, a gentleman of independent property, late of
Maiden-bridge, Enfield, and now a prisoner in Whitewalls
wreet prison. Toe learne 1 genCeman said that, although
the commission directed the jury not only to inquire into the
state of mind of the unfortunate gentleman, but also into
his property and next of kin, of late it was consi-
dered beet not to i•epAire into the latter poiers,
but to confine the attention of the jury to that
of the state of mind. He (the learned commissioner) had
seen the unfortunate gentleman, who was in a weak state,
and it was nut desirable that he should be excite d by beiog
present awing the examinivion of the witnesses; but he had
bell brought up by habeas corpus, and would he introduced
before the jury. Mr. Asbury, a surgeon at linfieli,s:ated that
he had known Mr. Dean for thirty years, and fur
the last twelve months he considered hi, intel-
lect very much impaired, and he entert.ined a
delusion that he was a poor man, and had no property.
On the April 17 he did not know the witness, and he said be
did not know what property he had, and could not manage
it Witnres eohsilered for the last twelve months that the
mind was failing, but it was not till March or April that he
came to a positive conclusion that the unfortunate gentle-
man was of unsound mind, from loss of memory throogh uld
see. He ■aw him again in Jane, when his opinion was con-
limed ; the unfortunate gentleman was then in prison, and
thought he was in en hotel.
Other evidence was adduced, and the jury returned a ver-
cict that he had been incapable of managing his affairs since
