The Convention relative to the conveyance of the mails,

cerns the future ammounicatioa by post between the two
States and all other countries. It is terminated to the en-
tire satisfaction of the Gavernmeols and subjects of both
Power', and by the great saving of lime, promises consi-
derable advantages to merchants and other,.
According to the Convention, the Prussian Government
bas established, besides the old mails from Berlin to Hemel
and back, two others ins direct line for she Russian cones-
'madame, by which means all letters from Russia by
way of Prussia and Berlin, to Harnburgh, Denmark,
Holland, Switzerland, England, France, and Spain, will
be dispatched from Berlin three days earlier than bi-
Otago. Letters from Russia for the German States beyond
Berlin, will even be received from Salk; four days earlier.

so difficult end has yet been so happily terminated, wen is-
Masted by Russia to the Privy Counsellor, Von Ralph'',
Director of the Post•ofire at Petersburgli, and by Primus to

HAGUE, MAY 28.
iIEcOND CHAMBER OF THE STATap OSISFRAL.
In this sitting • most important message from his
Majesty was read, accompanied by a project of law
of the greateit interest, relating to the &minces of
' the kingdom, which it is proposed to relieve by
orating the Caine d'Amortiotentent with the Syndi-
cate of the Netherlands. The following is on out-
line of his Majesty's Message:—
" By our Message of 21st December 1821, we oigninod
to your High Mightinessek that reboil takes ism our serious
consideration the question, whether the Calm AMOY-
fistelsent will always be able to continue the operation fur
the redemption oft Le deferred debt, in the manner last
adopted, and that it was our intention is due time to sub-
mit to your assembly proposals trading to Ibis end.
"A scrupoilous examination of this interesting subject,
his convinced no of the necessity, at the high price of the
deferred debt and the lottery tickets belongieg to it, to take
measures os the subject, to avoid being obliged to inertial*,
the means of the Caine trAmorlissement, and consequently*
the burdens of the contributors.
" In these measures the rights of the creditors etf/
Stele were to be scrupulously maintained. We have, there.
fore, adopted the idea of the offer of a reluatarY ettlavrraithl
of the deferred debt, and lottery tickets into debt, bearing
Interest, retaining the regulations at present existing for
these holders who shall nut desire to participate in the eon-
iretiiion of the debt."
The message then proceeds to develope his Majes-
ty's further views for the relief of the national bur-
dens, it unfolds the nature of the plan proposed,and
shews that while it will greatly benefit the nation
in general by an almost immediate reduction of the
contributions, it will not be disadvantageous to the
public creditor, so that his Majesty expects a re•
duction of four millions of florins in the expendi-
ture of 1823, arid hopes that if. the States General
approve of these measures, the natio° will be
in that happy situntioa which this assembly has so
ofteu desired, when being easy in regard to its
finances, their attention may be directed wire
steadily to the other subjects connected with the
prosperity of the kingdom. His Majesty touched
on the difficult duty he had to perform in his en-
deavours to introduce a solid linaucial system, the
great diversity of opinions that has prevailed, the
disagreeable impressions which it has been attempt-
ed to excite, bat which his Majesty has disregarded,
in the hope that the notion would sooner or later
appreciate what he has done. Though nothing
could deter his Majesty from fulfilling the most
painful part of his duties, it was agreeable for him
to be able to propose, on the 30th of Jemmy last,
a project which, without increasing the burdens of
the nation, will ensure it considerable advantages,
by covering the arrears and extraordinary charges
and offering means to increase the national indus-
try by opening new communications by land and
water.
His Majesty then expresses his ardent satisfaction
at being now able to lay before the Chamber the
present project, which will afford a great relief to
the nation, and doubts not that the Chamber will
be happy to concur in establishing such salutary
measures.

" We are now arrived," totscludes his Majesty "at the
time when our floaticial institutions alkrw us to examine
what are the burdens which the nation can and must Mar,
and what are the sacrifices which it may be spared. May
Providence preserve to as this state of thins! may its di-
•iue goodness avert from Its whatever might lead to fresh
calamities ! and may the Belgic people oriole', ender the
protection of Heaves, all the proaperity, all the National
hoover, of which it is readeisd capable by its sitaattun, and
by the rank it bolds among the nations of Eurotn•

0 We pray In God to have your High hlighlieesses order
hit Holy protection.

(Signed) •' WILLIAM.

Soon after twelve o'clock the Chair was lakes by bit Royal
Highness the Duke of Gt.osictirrw, who was sorrooaded
by person, of dials's-lieu, amongst whom we observed, Lords
Suffield, Blesision, Catthorpe, and Regent; T. W. Coke,
Esq. M.P., W. Wilberforce, Esq. M.P., Bootle Wilbraham,
Esq. M.P., the Huts. H. G. Bennett, M.P., T. F. Buxton,
Esq. M.P. &e.
The Report of the Committee was then read, which rioted
that great improveaseuts had taken place, through the ex-
ertions of the Society, not only in the gaols and. houses of
correction in Enalabd, but also in those of the sister country,
where the Irish Government had afforded csery possible as.
andante in their power to promote the benevolent objects of
the Institution. Communications had been formed with es.
tablishoseats of a similar nature on the Continent—in PirOlb
Pik where they were patronised by the Prince Royal-.-in
France and Russia, where the Emperor Alexander hail con-
. descended to direct his Dilemma to the subject at metal
trader the consideration of the meeting.
Mr. BOOTLE WILBRAHAM, after expressing hie gra-
tification at bearing so favourable an account of the progress
of their labour'', moved, tbat the Report should be primed
with such further details as might seem fit to the Com-
mittee of Managemeat, which was agreed to.
Lord SUFFIFA.O said there wan one particular point
which be wished the public to understand clearly and dis-
tinctly. An assertwo had bees made that the mildewy of
that Society was to tender a gaol a comfortable and desirable
habitation. Now he was ausious to rescue the Seesery sot
only from the attacks of those who were openly and decidedly
hostile to it, but also from the inuendos of persoas who
" Damn with faint praise, smut with civil leer,
And, wit bout stseeriog, ethers teach to sneer."
He denied the truth of that assertion altogether; their plan
was not to introduce luxuries into place of coofinement,
so that those whose period of imprisonment had e•pord
would he glad to relies to scenes or gearificdtion tied ,
niuy
'scut, but to attend to the health and niver's of d.r Fri-

which was • disgrace to owe of the miticinal towns of the
kingdom (Bristol.) Is that prise, the lowest dungeon was

war so cleselfiestins of pinwale s—male sod female, old and

Lions of that Society had contributed much to improve the
state of gaol., gad he was happy to say that notwithstandine
all the discouraging circumatauces they had encountered,
they were 'linking a succeeifill progress.
' Mr. WILBERFORCE wished the attention of the So.
tlety to be particularly direr led to those who Were risme
both In years and crime. Many of them, perba,s, need

the worst orphanage of vice and estitution. Theie were
some who entered at any attempt to reform those juv•oile
otreoder., but he thought they knew little of the home',
heart, they knew little of themselves, who tonsideitd it
impracticable, and he was sure there was even in the worst,
some latent good feeling, which, belug rightly managed,
would afford some chance of reformation mid improvement.
Several other Gentlemen afterwards addiessed thr Chair-
man at congderable length, and a vote of 'heels to hid

the meeting broke up.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BitirtsH PRESC.

-

Sts—Having seen an err secoont in the daily jour-
nals, 1 think it my duty to bring Ike real facts before the
public through the medihm of your valuable paper, which I
hope you will insert as early as possible.
OPERA CHARITY FETE.
As a traveller, sad oar who wishes to see as much as pos-
sible of the gamer. and splendour of civilized sitioes, as
well as the customs and slavery of at WC wild ones, I
considered the halt given lest Thursday at the Eing'is
Theatre for the relief of the distressed high one of the
best opportuaities that cheat* could afford rue to belvild
as assembly of the beauty and inagaificenee of this country,
and to contribute at the same time to that charitable
purpose. Unfortunately, having been very recently nw
the Continent, I returned to England too late to provide
myself rick a ticket of admission late the King's Theatre
on the above night. I communicated ivy wishes to some
friends oaly the day before the ball was to take plaice,
sad on Thursday morniug • person front a respecahle
quarter called at my homer, and acquainted me that Mr.
Ebeirs, owner of the Ring's Theatre, had 100 tickets to
dispose of, and that I might procure use at the price of 10
guineas. I did not hesitate to scud for the ticket, meaning
to contribute that sum to the above charity; bnt 1 am store
Wormed that only two guineas out of ten will be applied
to the relief of the poor; and as I am going out of Eng-
land witbio a few weeks, sad probstly a long time will
*tepee before my return, I could nut lose the ptomain:
opportuuity of satisfying toy curiosity la seeing a British fete
for charity's sae. Accordingly, l 'wrested myself at the
theatre, sad whoa half up slain, my ticket was requited.
It bore the name of the Countess de Ore,; and oes the back,
that of Mr. Teatime. No sooner did I present it to the
check-taker, than be ecquaiated me that I was not permitted
to pass on ; and in a very abrupt manner, said that I mutt
stop there: at the same time he called some one out, nod
tiro police officers appeared, who tonk me I, thew
custody; sod in that slate I remained f::r about a quar-
ter of an hour, espored (es if I had been in a pillory)
to the public, who eutered so crowds at the time. I
will not eater en the *Patois of the petty insnits I re-
ceived, or on what I fell, fur that may easily be eat-
ceived from any one who bait feelings of honour ; at learn
perceiving a gentleman converting with the office's, who
kept • strict watch over me, as if I bad committed anew:
high treason, I requested that be would have the good-
ness to be witness that I was then fonder an serest by the
police officers; he was the Earl of Ancrom, tabu having
been informed that I had the ticket from Mr. Ebcrs, "sift
it was • ticket which had been Nut; and I was nimble to
conceive bow it could bete fallen into the hands of Me.
Ebers to be sold. At ISM, baring gtvrn my name it..
the Noble Earl, he told me' lis give my ticket to him ; f,ie
which, iii exchange, his Lordship Itiodly offered me his
own, which I accepted, and entered the theatre, where, by
the illusion and splendour of the scene, I anon forgot the
disagreeable adventure al the door. His Majcity had not
yet entered the house, and I wa. waiiing with thousands
more, fur his desired appearsace. Half so hour had elapsed,
when not less than three Buw.street runners, or rather thiese-
catchers, surrounded me, and with that genileoess which
they are, I suppose, accustomed to use to felon., I was
consume:led to march out and appear before Sir Richard
Ramie, who was is the commit town, sad iiii:h the Who.
ritative tore with which, IN doubt, he addresses rogues and
thieves, ordered me to walk out of the house. I attempted
to address mteself to him and to explain ; but be said, " I
will not bear any thing from you, Sir, you "mitred with a
wrong ticket's's] you mast go out. Officer* do your deep—
s' I will take epee myself to answer all." Aad skis was mid

could be made to • person like himself foe whatever dryer
he might contrail. 1 nsust confess that I was a little at
loss bow to seeount foe all this proceeding; bat coal.] not
suppose that the owner of it. theatre himself could sell
.a ticket, the bearer of which must become the victim of WHa

all was, thatßie Binds., bayous hev es'she cluens"," on one
side, would no err that lathe ether. Had Sir Rie hind heath-
reed to my de e, I would hare teed him at once that I lied

and having a*ertaiaed that I bought the ticket from him,
Sir Richard world have acted right, and all would isaaecorted
satisfactorily; but the more [attempted 'in explauatiou, the
more peremptorily be ordered his sandlots to ilo :heir du.
lies. Thus I vas form a wetly correct idea. at in' ~..0 •a.
pease, of the impartial admiaiiitratinn of iiiiitice by this ren.
degas". I hdd in my hands the ticket air... to inn :.y Ito
Earl of Animism, which was 'Patched from my baud by one
of the geotlensen ollcera, and which ticket wan also pro-
nounced to be wrong. Nothing could thin weert the irons,.
dilate execptios of terming me out of dome; s.d even the

had signified that be Lure me, could not erevail en p••
