I THE DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND'S PROTEST

MEETING AT STAFFORD-HOUSE.

I On Saturday last a meeting was held at Stafford-
house, at which were present about forty of the holies who
had assembled at the same plive on Nov. 26, 1862, to pro-
mote an address from women of Great Britain aid Ireland
to the women of the United States on the subject of
slavery ; also several other ladies, members of the Society
of Friends. The following report was nail to the meeting
by the Duchess of Sutherland :
" The general committee for obtaining signatures to the
address of the women of Great Britain and Ireland to
the women of America on the subject of slavery' has been
assembled here this day, for the purpose of receiving the
report of the sub-committee, and of giving directions for the
transmission of the address, which is now ready, to the
United States. The number of signatures amounts to
662,848, and it may safely be as that there is scarcely
a single district of her Majesty's European dominions
which is not represented. Great seal and sympathy wail.
venally prevailed, and nothing but the short space of time
allowed to the work prevented a very large
multiplication of the numbers. It is proposed to
send the address to the care of Mrs. Beecher Stowe,
who has undertaken to make such arrangements as shall
give it the greatest puhlicity. Everyone will feel that this
lady's cooperation is of real value. The general committee
are desirous to acknowledge the efficient services of the sub-
committee, and especially to express their thanks to Mrs.
Sutherland, who has acted throughout as honorary secre-
tary, and has devoted much time and attention to the work.
The general committee are also desi-ous to express their
thanks to the ladies and others noosed in the list subjoined,
fir the lar,te numbers collected by titi it individual efforts."
A list of about 60 names was then read, including some
from Paris, Jerusalem, Guernsey, lie., and the udilriss,
with 26 large folio volumes of signatures, was brought for-
ward for inspection.
The Duchess of SUTHERLAND then read a letter received
frs m lvlrs.lletcher Stowe,iu which she ex peened h diciest
to make arrangements for the reception of the address, and
for giving the utmost publicity to it in America, mentioning
at the same time that a new work from her pen was about to
be immediately published.
Before the meeting separated the first copy of the work
referred to, called "A Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin," was
presented by the committee to the Duchess of Sutherland.

LATER FROM AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA.
ILACTIUC TELIORAPIi.)
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY Nowinici.
This morning at six o'clock the new mail steam-
ship Arabia, belonging to the British and North Ame-
rican line, Judkins, commander, arrived in our river
from New York direct, with 22.5,000 dollors in specie
on freight (the greater part for Havre), 55 passen-
gers, and the usual mails from all parts of the United
States and British America, in the charge of Lieut.
J. Grant Raymond, R.N., Admiralty agent.
The cabinet of the President, the list of which was
received by the last steamer, had been confirmed by
the Senate.

A great fire had occurred at New Orleans, in
which more than 18,000 bales of cotton were des-
troyed.
When the Arabia sailed, business matters in e-
neral were not quite so favourable as at the last
accounts, and money was decidedly more difficult to
obtain; the stock market was weak, and' fancy"
stocks had fallen about 3 per cent. in two days.
The correspondence respecting the Clayton and
Bidwer treaty relative to Nicaragua had been called
for in the Senate by Mr. Clayton. The treaty for an
international copyright between England and Ame-
rica was expected to be confirmed by the Senate.
Crags had invited Santa Anna to Mexico, and
Taapico had also pronounced for him.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
The market for hreadstuffs was quiet, and prices ruled at
very nearly the same rates as at the last advice.. Western
Canal flour being quoted at 4 dole. 871 e. to 6 dole., steady ;
Genneseee wheat, 1 dol 22c. to 1 dol. 24c.; Indian corn,
round yellow, 64e. to 66c., well supported ; Indian meal,
3 dots. 25c. to 3 dole. 371 c.
The following were the latest quotations in the New York
cotton market : New Orleans and Mobile, mid fair to fair,
Ilic to 12c. ; Uplands and Florida, top. to 1110 per lb.
The provision market was dull, and prior had a downward
tendency.
FILIJOUTS were very little altered in prices demanded
from those which previously ruled.
EXCULNOR on London was dull, at 1091 to 1094; Faris,
6.121; Hamburgh, 361 to 361 ; Bremen, 80 to 801.

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

TO THB BDITOB OP' THII lIIPABBS.

Slit,—Respecting the momentous question of rail-
way accidents, le us hope that the committeenow sitting
will be empowered to investigate the schemes of those in-
ventors whe profess to mitigate the horrors we have lately
witnessed, and that it will not allow itself to be misled by
opinions, but judge for itself by the actual results of their
trials. We may have adverse opinions, given through mere
prejudice, of the very best schemes. Everything should be
done that can to relieve or protect us from the jeopardy no
are placed in by this mode of travelling, and which has ab-
sorbed all other descriptions of conveyanee.—YoUrs obe-
diently, T. P.

AFFAIR or Hosoca.—lt was very generally
rumoured yesterday, in the clubs, that the preliminaries of
• hostile meeting had been arranged between two gallant
colonels, who have lately figured before the select com-
mittee of the House of Commons to inquire into the peti-
tion from Norwich borough, and its unauthorised with-
drawal. At the eleventh hour the matter was fortunately
adjusted by the friendly intervention of an hon. member
who sits on the opposite side of the house.—Observer.

tee's railway shares. Re said be would not touch a shilling
of the money got for them when they were sold. He waste
receive the mosey for the shares on the 18th November.
Witness was present when the prisoner got the shares, and
subsequently when he gave the share papers to her mister
to alga.
Mr. George Frederick Lassos, of No. 4, Bank•ehambers,
neekbreker, said that the prisoner had been introduced to
his *See by a gentleman of great respectability, a client of
lid% end be bad been to his office three times. He re-
=ttries (Mr. Lome) to sell some railway shares.
en Eastern Counties, Caledonian and Brighton,
mil South Coast shares, and the aggregate amount was
Mk, which he paid him by cheques on Messrs. Jones,
Liteld and Co. The first time the prisoner called was on
the 6th of November, when he left the shares, and on the
lei of December he was settled with.
Mr. John Howard, residing at Bidenham, near Bedford,
thaw got into the witness-box, and said, that in the autumn
of 11146, the prisoner took a house belonging to him at Bed-
bed, representing himself to be the son of a Capt. Johnson,
who had lived at Bedford some years before, but who was
thee a minister in some of our foreign possessions. His
dory was believed, and his alleged father, but who he (Mr.
inward) no more believed to be his father, than Lord
Palmerston his uncle, having been a great favourite in
displace, the prisoner got into excellent eitiely, and with-
unthaving paid a single crown to a single soul, he managed
tie geese the tradesmen in the town to the tune of upwards
dlalli. On one occasion the prisoner did him the honour
aihim a visit, and swaggering into his counting-
him he should make him his banker—(laughter,
tie= the prisoner joined)—and by his specious manner
menaged to do him out of 801., beside his rent.
Mr. Parry, who two or three times interrupted the wit-
thee, and said that though he should not attempt to justify
the prisoner's conduct, yet there was no legal evidence of
hie having been guilty of any offence.
Mr. Robinson replied that there were some witnesses un-
fortunately absent, whose testimony was most important to
the case, and he had to request a remand.
Mr. Elliott expressed it to be his intention to send the
prisoner to trial on the charge of Mn. Stewart, sod if the
representations of Mr. Howard should be borne out by evi-
dence, he should commit him on those charges also, and
should therefore remand him for a future day, to have the
evidence taken in proper order.
The prisoner was then removed.
London, England, 1853-01-13

PORTUGAL.

The new Cortes met on the 2nd. Very few de-
puties appeared, and to the 6th a sufficient numbor
to form a house had not arrived.
Marshal Saldanha's speech was in no respect im-
portant, containing little more than allusions to the
settlement of the Armstrong claim, and the rccogai.
Lion of Louis Napoleon. In the exercise of dictatorial
power the government had abolished the supplemcn-
, tel tenth per cent. on articles imported. In future
' 10 per cent. will be levied for the bank-note tax, and
3 per cent. for emoluments. The government an-
nounced that the tariff will be considered a subject
for annual revision. The public funds were still suf-
fering from the shock of Dec. 18.
Five per Cents. are quoted at 37 ; shares in the
Bank of Portugal are Rs. 230,000.
London, England, 1853-01-13

SPAIN.

At a meeting of the Moderate Electoral Committee,
held on the 3th inst., it was resolved that the candi-
dates for Madrid should be half of the progressist
and half of the moderate party. M. Martinez de la
Roses was at once chosen as one of them, and the
others are to be selected by the electors of the
different districts. The committee has caused an
address to the electors of all the country to be litho-
graphed, and extensively circulated; it calls on them
not to vote for candidates in favour of the reform of
the constitution. The committee has received a com-
munication from the Minister of the Interior, inti-
mating, in reply to its petition for the removal of the
prohibition on electoral meetings, that the govern-
ment is disposed to allow the local authorities to
authorise such meetings where they present no dan-
ger to the public tranquillity.
A Madrid letter of the 6th says: "The new law,
as given in the royal decree, retains some of the bad
features of that which it replaces, particularly in the
arbitrary power of imprisoning the publisher of a
journal as soon as the denunciation made by the
public prosecutor has received the sanction of the
competent authorities, and keeping him in prison
until the jury on the press shall have decided as to
his guilt or innocence. This power may not be
abused by the present ministry, but it will be a
frightful weapon in the hands of an unconstitutional
geverament, and would render illusory the conces-
sions that are made in favour of free discussion ; for
preventive imprisonment, in most cases, if frequently

repeated, would have the effect of destroying the
property of a journal. There are, however, in the
new law, changes in the mode of organising the jury,
which imld out additional protection to persons who
fall under the lash of the public prosecutor.
The penalties again3t persons found guilty of attacks
upon religion or its ministers, with a view of bring.
ing them into discredit, or upon any of the institu-
tions of the country, if made with a criminal motive,
are severe. The circular of the Minister of the In-
terior is a remarkable document, for, while he desires
the public functionaries in the provinces to exercise
the most severe control for the repression of all violent
discussion, having for object to weaken respect for
the laws and institutions, he enjoins them to place
the most liberal construction possible upon the
motives and intentions of writers, and to abstain
from every attempt to check the freedom of safe and
reasonable discussion upon the acts of the govern.
ment, and on all subjects in which discussion would
be useful to the public interests."
London, England, 1853-01-13

TURKEY.

A private letter from Berlin states that the
Ottoman Porte has again requested the King of
Prussia to send engineers to Constantinople, for the
purpose of carrying out trigonometric operations on
the Turkish territory.

MONTENEGRO.

Telegraphic dispatches from Cattaro state, that
Massan Petrowitch and his son, two relatives of
Prince Daniel, of Montenegro, have been so severely
wounded in recent engagements that they lie in the
greatest danger. Letters from Bosnia state, that
Omer Pacha's force includes 8,000 Arnauts. These
troops are of a race hardy as the Montenegrins them-
selves, and bold as lions, uneasy when not fighting,
and fitted for nothing so much as irregular guerilla
warfare.

As the Pacha of Scutari's recent brush with the
enemy has been represented by two of our daily con-
temporaries as Omer Pacha's defeat, it may be well
to state that the Pacha of Scutari and the well.
known Omer Pacha are distinct xersonages, and
that the two commanders are operating on oppoeite
sites of Montenegro.

- COLONIAL PENNY POSTAGE.

The Council of the Colonial and International
Postage Association, upon the important question of our
colonial postage, have resolved :—" Diet the first object of
the emaciation is to extend the system of uniform penny
P already in operation between the United Kingdom
amlCOMmikel Islands, to the whole of the British cola
ales sad perseedons. The total amount of postal revenue
' derived from all the colonies does not exceed 200,0001. a
year. The whale, obviously, could not be sacrificed by the
massare proposal; but it would be sound national policy
ileabandon even the whole to promote in so eminent a de•
gree the commerce, education, freedom of communication,
and friendly relations between the colonies and the mother
country."
The amount of revenue derived from our colonies is ex-
tracted irom a MS. obligingly furnished by the Postmaster-
General, at the request of the council of the above associa-
tion. In this return the income from Transmariae Colo-
nial Postage, by each line of packets, stands as follows:

THE AUSTRALIAN.

This vessel, notwithstanding the duration of her
voyage, and the disadvantageous circumstances under which
a portion of it was made, looked in excellent condition on
arrival at Plymouth on Tuesday. She has an excellent
commander and a first-rate set of officers, and has proved
herself during the voyage a capital sea boat. It should
always be borne in mind in reference to the long period over
which her voyage has extended, that she has been the
pioneer of a new route—that in respect to coaling and other
arrangements connected with the forwarding of large steam
vessels, she has had to contend with difficulties and to sur-
mount obstacles which will not in all probability be so ope-
rative in any succeeding voyage. Again, the difficulty
arising from the gold fever amongst the crew was the
cause of very considerable delay after her arrival
in the colony—and for that the vessel is in no way charge-
able—it being purely the result of the circumstances of the
country into the harbours of which she had arrived. Of the
9'.) days occupied in her outward voyage she was detained
at various ports 161; and during the 84 days, besides the
loss of time by her deviation to call at the Mauritius to re-
pair her engines, and for fuel, she was 15 days at canoes
ports. Although, therefore, her voyages have not been so
speedy as was desired or expected, there are, independent
of speed and the adverse weather she has experienced,
many exculpatory and mitigatory circumstances. The
cargo brought home by the Australian was an immensely
rich One, and the mails about the largest ever
brought to England in one bottom. They consisted
of ne less than 160 bags and boxes. The mails were deli-
vered up by Capt. E. Barnard, R.N., the Admiralty agent,
to Mr. Marken, the postmaster, at Plymouth, at about
half-put one on Tuesday : but in consequence of their
great bulk it would have been impossible after 2 o'clock, at
which time they were placed is the peat-office, to have
sorted them before the departure of the London mail;
they were, therefore, forwarded unsorted. The conse-
quence of this is, that the delivery of the letters and papers
in the north is delayed a post, and those for the west two
posts.

(DT ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
PLYMOUI If, WEDNESDAY, 7.40 P.N.
The Australian did not pail this morning, u was ex-
pected, but is now under orders for London, and will pro.
cad as soon as the weather moderates.
Captain Barnard, R.N., left by the mail train this even-
lug with the nugget of Australian gold for her Majesty.

THIS DAY —Two o'CLocx.

The market for the home funds, and, indeed, for
every description of security, opened with a very dull
appearance to-day, owing to apprehensions being en.
tertainel that a further increase in the discount rate
might be made even at the Bank court
to-day, but as soon as it became known
that the court bad broken up without the
announcement of any change, a rally set in,
and the markets are now better. Consols were
sold at 991, but are now quoted 100 to I

SCHLESWIG.

On the 2nd inst. a riot broke out at Holm between
the fishermen of that place, a courageous race of
men, and the Danish soldiery quartered there. The
soldiers had demanded that the people among whom
they were billeted, should give them the feast cue.
tomary at that season, the latter refused, remarking
that their children (Schleswig conscripts) had not
been well used at Copenhagen since the pacification
of the Duchy. In the midst of the conflict which
followed, the authorities intervened, and having
restored quiet sent the soldiers away to Eckenforde.

HORRIBLE Muumuu OF A SLAVI.—A fiend in

at Walterborough, S.C., for the murder of a runaway

after which he put him in a vie*, and subjected him to the
most excruciating torture. Re then set him loose, started
bloodhounds after him, who ran him down, mangling him
horribly, and finally cut him up and fed the dop with his
sink.—!Nets York

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 30th ult. publishes the
text of the bills presented by the Minister of Finance
to the Chamber of Deputies on tho preceding day.
That on the budget of 1854 estimates the ordinary
expenses at 1,471,147,894 reale, and the ordinary
receipts at 1,474,204,522 reels. The extraordinary
expenses for public works are set down at
115,000,000 reals, and the receipts to cover them are
estimated at the same sum. The maximum of the
floating debt is fixed at 500,000,000 realm, but it is to
be only 150,000,000 reale in case the Cortes shall
authorise the conversion of the greater part of the
existing floating debt, and of such authorisation
being acted on by the government. Another bill
proposes to authorise the government to issue
800,000,000 reale of Consolidated Three per Cents.
for the paying off of the floating debt, such stock to
remain in depot until the government shall find a
favourable opportunity for negotiating it, at a price
not to be less than 44 per cent. In the preamble to
the budget it is said that several reforms have been
effected, and there is a question of exempting salt
and tobacco from duty, and of making reforms in the
customs.

THE CHOLERA.—Between twenty and thirty Cain
of Asiatic cholera have occurred in Newcastle and the im-
mediate neighbourhood within the last few days, all termi-
nating fatally. It appears to have broken out at a place
called Bill Quay, on the south bank of the Tyne, towards
Shields, the first ease reported being that of a woman re-
siding there, who was seized on Thursday and died the day
following, shortly after she had been brought to Newcastle.
Since then five more cases have occurred at Bill Quay.
Diarrhcea is very prevalent in the district.

lA lta EDWARD THEODALD BL..k/ILT.

This bankrupt was the son of the bankrupt in the former
case. He had carried on the business of •bawl-menufac-

Curer, at Norwich. This was the certificate meeting. The
accounts prepared by Mr. Maynard, extended over three
and a-half years prior to the failure in May last ; the follow-
ing are the principal items:—
Dativom.—Te creditors unsecured, 6,1811.; liabilities,
4,8001. ; profits, 1,931 r. ; capital, 85/.
Cuturron.—By property assigned to trustees for the
general benefit of the creditors, estimated to realise, 3,1111. ;
cash, 91. losses, 2,6001.; trade expenses, 2.219/. ; personal
expenses, 2821.
Mr. Sole. for the assignees, said he was not instructed to
of.•r any opposition.
elr. Lawrence said he appeared for the bankrupt. His
trading had extended over a period of 31 years ; and during
the whole of that time his personal expenditure bad been
only 2801. His time and attendance had been exclusively
absorbed by his busincss. The profits of 1,931/. had teen
very slightly exceeded by the trade expenses.
Ihe Commissioner-1 suppose all parties will agree that
he should receive a first-class certificate.

Mr. tikile—We have no objection whatever.
The Commissioner—Then Let him have a first-clan cer-
tificate.

was unenclosed, much of it consisting of mom and
cold pasture land wholly unreciaimed, and three-
fourths of the whole property was saturated pith
water for want of drainage. The public and occu-
pation roads were alike wretched. The extent of the
farms varied from 40 to 100 acres. With inch land
the tenants were naturally without capital—in fact,
scarcely better off than labourers.
The first step to improvement was the consoFda-
tion of farms into suitable holdings of from 190
to 500 acres each ; good substantial buildings were
erected, the land was enclosed and divided by quick
fences, roads were made, and nineteen years' lasses
were granted. Draining has been vigorously prose-
cuted. The inferior lands were drained without
(charging the tenants any interest on the Pit-
I lay; in other cases 4s. per acre was charted
to the tenants as alditional rent. Every year
I six hundred acres of land have been (trailed
and 1,000/. per annum has been expended in implor-
ing the buildings without any charge of interest to
the tenants, and further outlays have been made by
arrangement between landlord and tenants. The
results of these steadily continued improvements are
such u might be expected. Good cultivation and
turnip growing have rendered the produce in pain
and stock yearly increasing, the buildings have been
all renovated and provided with tanks, thrashing
machines, and all other modern improvements and
conveniences. Such, according to the Prize Report ,
of the Royal Agricultural Society, was the past, and
such is the present state of the Netherby estate. Does
any one suppose this could have been done withoLt
determination and self-denial ? The return made from
even the must judicious improvement of land, though
certain, is slow, and to effect it a large proportion of
our incumbered landowners would be compelled to
forego much of that luxurious and ostentation ex-
penditure in which they indulge. Few, therefore,
will follow the example of Sir JAMES GRAEAE, and
unless by some means or other the large landed pro.
perties of the country are improved, they can neither
yield the rents to the owners, the profia to the
tenants, nor afford the employment for hmour, or
the supplies of food to the community, they ought
and might readily be made to produce.

lie AZ EDWARD BLAKELT.—THZ NOIMICH FAILI:ILES.
The bankrupt was described as • linendraper and silk-
mercer, of Norwich, and of Conduit-street, Regent-street.
This was the certificate meeting. The accounts, prepared
by Mr. Thomas, were velaminous; the following are the
principal items:—From lit January, 18.52, to 9th April
last.
Denton.—To creditors, 12,6791.; ditto secured, 5,252/ ;
liabilities, 1,4181.; further ditto, disputed, 3,3691. ; ditto
os account of the estate of the late Capt. Blakely, 1,0691. ;

1,0371.; domestic expenses, b 93 ; losses, 3,7434.; deficiency
(Ist February, 1852), 1,5471.
Mr. Whitmore, the official assignee, reported as fel-
lows :—The bankrupt was a tillmercer and lineadraper, of
Norwich, and lately of Conduit-street, Westminster, and
has been in business thirty years. Ilse cheques were re-
fused payment by the East of England Bank on the 16th of
, March, 1843, between which time and the date of his bank-
ruptcy, 9th April, he advanced to his son, Edwd. Theobsld
Blakely, 3301., for the purpose of enabling his son to carry
' on his business, he (E. T. Blakely) at tl.e time owing the
bankrupt 3.591, or thereabouts. The balance sheet com-
mences Ist January, 1852, with a deficiency of 1,069!. After
stating the amount of debts and liabilities above referred to,
the report goes on to state:—The bankrupt's books were
ledger, day book, and cult book, in which records of all his
transactions will be found, but they were not kept with the
regularity and accuracy requisite in so large a business.
The cue having been fully gone into,
The Coustnissioner said—Upon the whole,havlng regard to
the very high position which the bankrupt has held for so
many years, considering that he has been struggling with
difficulties for some time, and that in all probability, his
present misfortunes ars owing—if I collect right—from his
having established an independent trade for his eon,—and
having regard to the circumstance that he produces such
unusually large assets—l think it will be only a reasonable
concession to the circumstances of the case to grant him an
immediate certificate of the first class.

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF THE PRODUCE

MIX ON.) LANE, SATURDAY MORNINO.
The demand f.r moot kinds of produce continues good,
and gsnetally full rates are obtainable. The public sales
of Sugar have gone offsteadily at former quotations, and pri-
vately considerable parcels have changed hands. The: Coffee
matket continues brs,k, and very full rates rule for Planta-
tion Ceylon, while the native kiwis have advanced Gd. per
cwt. ; the sales held by the Dutch trading company at Rot-
terdam on the sth, and at Ams'erdam on the Bth instant,
went off very briskly, at rates about I to If cents above the
valuations. Black Pepper has ris n about id. per lb., but
sales of white have been made at Id. per lb. decline. Rice
is flat, and there are net now any buyers at the farmer cur-
rency. In Tea there has been a rood business done at former

DEFECTIVE GOVERNMENT RETUINS.

TO ?HZ EDITOR OF TOE ZXPRISR.

Stte,—Yon complain of the tardy manner it which
government officers make their returns to par.iamen-
tary orders. You might have added theet these
returns are, when made, frequently doctored and
mutilated.

I have now before me what purports to * a re-
turn (Session Paper, No. 961, of the year 1833) by
the ltegistmr of the Court of Admiralty, of " The
Applications that have been made to the Court of
Admiralty of England for head or bounty money,
upon the destruction and dispersion of al-
leged pirates on the coast of Borneo and
adjacent islands in each year since 1811." In this
return the application in behalf of the Nemesis,
which obtained no less than 20,7001. of hea6money
for the officers and crew is omitted. The emission
is the more extraordinary because the same official
included it in a return showing the distribution of
the last head-money voted by perliamest, pub-
lished in the Sessional Paper, No. 239, of the
year 18.51. Whether the heroes of the Nemesis
=macre, and their friends have got ashamed of the
exploit, and made interest to havo the record of it
suppressed ; or whether it has been left out by the
carelessness of the registrar, is a matter of indiference.
A mutilated and deceptive return has been made to
a parliamentary order. Will the House of Commons
put up with such treatment?
