HAYTL

Letters have been received from several Europeans
residing in the Island of Hayti, on the subject of the
revolution which threatens the overthrow of the
Emperor Soulouque. One of these letters is dated
from the town of Oonaives, where the insurrection
broke out.

The consuls, the Europeans, the clergyman, and
the inhabitants generally, have shown the greatest
sympathy with the cause. General Barthilemy, the
governor of Gonalves, declared at once in favour of
the republic; Gerard has appointed him to the
command of the Artibonite region, and has given
that of Gonave. to Palen, that of the St. Marc dis-
trict to J. C. Luberis.

The revolutionary committee has proclaimed the
deposition of Soulongue, and re-established the liberal
constitution of 1848.

At Port-au-Prince they are waiting for the turn of
events ; bat there, even more warmly than else-
where, they pray for the fall of the tyrant." Son-
longue feels his isolation, His courtiers make every
sort of excuse for keeping aloof, and the only person,.
he sees are those who could not absent themselves
without seriously exposing themselves to danger.
He hesitates about leaving the capital, for fear he
may be unable to return. He has only a few troops
with him, bat expects some regiments from the
South ; it is hoped, however, that part of the Im-
perial army will make common cause with the insur-
gents as soon as they meet each other in the field.
Among the proclamations of the revolutionary
committee that have reached us, we publish the one
subjoined, as it concerns the numerous exiles from
Hayti, nattered over England, France, and other
European countries.

THE POLICE AND THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS.
—We publish In our impression to-day a letter from a oor.
respondent, relative to the hardships and injustice to which
the lionised victuallers of the metropolis are subjected, owing
to the capricious views which law end police courts alike take
of the way in which they ought to act when disturbances are
created, or improper language and, In their houses. In the
Court of Common Pleas, on Monday kit, Mr. Stoats,
licensed victualler, had to defend an motion brought
against him on the pound of alleged injury
done to the plaintiff (a market porter) in ejecting
him from hie house, In consequence of the im-
proper language and conduct of the letter. No decision in
the cue wee come to by the jury, and the result is that not
only will Mr. Skarn have to pay his own expenses, but the
point is still left undecided as to what amount of force a land-
lord may me In expelling an ill-tongued or uproarious per-
son from his how.—Another ease occurred at the South-
wark polite court, on Friday, In which Mr. Can, the land-
lord of the King's Arms Tavern, Thornton-street, charged
his barman with being chunk end disorderly end wilfully
breaking a glees. On this occasion the landlord, instead of
himself expelling the drunken disorderly person, called in •
polieemen, who ejected him at once. But fop doing this the
policeman was severely reprimanded by Mr. Combs, the
sitting magistrate, who told him that the police had no right
to interfere in such cases, but that it was the duty of landlords
themselves to turn out unruly characters. What, under these
circumstances, are licensed victuallers to do ? Oct of their
number is punished In • court of law, by having to pay the
cons of an extensive defence, for expelling a parson from
his house who had ban using most improper language
and otherwise misomdoctlng himself. In another
case another lionisedvictualler is told by a polio,.
magistrate that he ought to eject unruly characters himself,
and that the police have no right to assist any landlord to ex-
pel drunken and disorderly persons. This is really a most
painful and perplexing position for boomed victuallers to he
in. How, we repeat, are they, under the circumstances, to
act? Whatever coarse they pnreue they aro sure to lin
wrung, either in the eye of the Court of Common Plane, or
in that of the Southwark police-court. We trust that the
licensed victuallers of the metropolis will not allow the
coming ninon to pass away without insisting on having •
clear definition of the law on the sabject.—Morning Adver-
tiser. _ _

FALL OP A WAREHOUSE AND IRON FOUNDRY AT
Sot ra wait.—Au accident of s fearful character which,
had it etiourred ea hone now, would have been attended
with a @seedless of lewd lives, took piece about ten minutes
after six o'clock as Saturday sing. At the extreme end

the extensive premises known se the Bank End Wharf, the
property of Messrs. Archer end Sons, millers and wharlin-
gere, and the premises known es tbe landing wharf and iron
foundry belonging to Mews. Stephen Carey and Co. The
first-named building contained many hundred quarters of
corn in sacks, the weight of which, no doubt, wee the
riet= ruse of the accident. The percent. employed in
. Casey's works shout the hour mentioned suddenly
noticed the wall that separated the two wharves bulging.
The whole length of the western wall then shot out, causing
the roof to part in throe plow, currying with it about one-
third of Messrs. Carey's foundry. The noise occasioned by
the fall of the two buildings was so great that many persona
imagined an explosion had taken piece in the foundry. As
awn as the confusion had somewhat abated and the dust
diverted it was found that the warehouse belonging to
Messrs. Archer and Seas had fallen, the whole; of the grain
contained therein being buried in the debris.
