SPIRIT of, the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

TIMES.—We have already expressed, on more
than one occasion, the deep regret with which the
public in this country has learnt the frightful cost ofl
life at which the'reduction of Lagos was effected in
the month of December-last by her Majesty's forces
on the West Coast of Africa ; and we have shown
from the papers recently laid. before Parliament that
a more brutal and degraded race of savages are not
now to be met with on theface of the earth than the
King of Dahomey and his slave-hunting subjects, to
whom nevertheless the British Government has more
than once dondseenoled, within the last few years, to
address a dispatch and to accredit an agent. Lieute-
nant Forbea's journal of his mission to Dahomey, in
May, 1850, when he witnessed what are termed the
" customs" of that kingdom, is certainly one of the
most extraordinary narratives we ever met with, and
the results of this mission may be judged of by the fact
that eleven human victims were butchered by way
of sacrifice almost under the eyes of the British
officers, who succeeded hobeivieg• off, for one hundred
dollars, three of the miserable beings deetinsd for
this slaughter.- But, to give a more complete view
of the policy, which led- to -the gallant attack of the
British forces on Lagos, and of the results to
be anticipated from the succCss of that achievement;
it is due to the officers who conducted that enterprise
to describe somewhat more _tally their objects and
their motives: The labours of-the,Church Missionary
Society ton eleeweet coast of Africa enabled-the chief
promoters of that association to •demonstrate to the
Government that on the frontiera of Dahomey, and
within reach of the attacks of its savage ruler, there
exists a people inhabitifig the Egba province of the
Aorula kingdom, who are in all respects the opposite
of their ferocious neighbours. Their chief town, called
Abbeokute,conteins 50,000'inhabitents; and is situated
on the river Ogu, which is navigable for about 50
miles down to the sea at the island of Lagos. Their
markets are frequented by traders from the Niger
and the interior of Africa. These Yoruba chiefs are
entirely opposed to the • slave trade, and they live in
constant dread of the slave hunts and hostilities of
their slave-dealing neighbours. It is a very remarkable
circumstance that several hundred liberated Africans
had found their way in vessels, procured and freighted
by themselves, from Sierra Leone to Badagry and
Abbeokuta ; and the English missionaries have un-
doubtedly succeeded in establishing there one of
the most successful missions we yet possess on the
Guinea coast. But, on the other hand, Lagos, which
commands the mouth of the river Ogu and the trade
of Abbeokuta, was in the hands of a slave-trading
chief, Kosoko, who had driven his relative, Akitoye,
from the throne; and the King of Dahomey, jealous
of the trade and independence of Abbeokuta; had re-
peatedly declared his intention to make war upon it
and to destroy it. These threats were soon realised.
In March, 1851, the King of Dahomey marched
against Abbeokuta to exterminate the British mis-
sionaries, and to reduce the black population to
slavery. A severe action was fought under the
walls of the town, and in the presence of the Dig-
fish residents. The Dahoineane Were defeated, and
on the next day no less than 1,209 of their warriors were
found dead upon the field. This abortive attempt was
followed by other hostilities between the tribes in-
volved in this interminable African quarrel, Which
placed the British residents and traders on the coast'
in considerable peril, as Kosoko, the Chief of Lagos,
was known to be advancing to attack that settlement;
and it became apparent that the safety both or
the missionaries, the traders, and th© liberated
Africans in these free districts, depended entirely
on the restraint which could be put upon the hostile
operations of the Chief of Lagos. There- seems
reason to believe that these operations were the result
of a preconcerted scheme, arranged and assisted by
the Brazilian slave-dealers, between the King of Da-
homey and the slave-trading chiefs of the coast. Upon
the receipt of this information in September last,
Lord Palmerston ordered Whydah, which is the
principal port of Dahomey, to be strictly blockaded,
and the Commodore on the station was instructed to
consider the practicability, of. sending a small force
into Lagos for the purpose of expelling the then chief
and the slave-dealers by whom he was supported, and
of re-establishing in his istead Akitoye, the former
chief; who was driven out by the slave-dealers on
account of his hostility to the slave trade. If these
erdere could be executed,;Lord Palmerston added that
Lagos might become an important outlet for the
commerce of the interior, and a diffusing centre of
civilization, instead of a den of barbarism. Before,
however, the formal instructions to commence these
operations had reached the coast of Africa, Mr. Consul
Beecroft had in some degree anticipated their tenour.
He arrived off Lagos in her Majesty's steamer Blood-
hound on the 13th of November, and opened a
negotiation with Kosoko, then Chief of Lagos,
to induce him to renounce the slave trade. With
more zeal than discretion, and without waiting for
the orders of the Commodore, the Consul, accom-
panied by Commander Wilmot and two other officers,
went up the river to confer with this hostile chief.?
The proposed terms were rejected, and as forts opened
their fire-on the boats sailing under a flag of truce, it
was resolved that a somewhat precipitate attack
should be made on the position. • The Bloodhound
unluckily ran aground; the fire from the mud forts
and stockades was more severe than bad been antici-
pated ; the defence was skilfully conducted. by about
5,000 men against a party of 160 or 180, who had
been landed, and it was found necessary to recall
the forces, with a loss of two officers killed and ten
seamen wounded, after firing a part of the town.
The conduct of Mr.' Beeciiift in this affair was not
approved either by'. the Commodore, who arrived
on the coast a few' days afterwards, or by her
Majesty's Government, and it was distinctly
censured in a dispatch of Earl Granville
of the 24th of January ; though no, reflection can be
cast on the gallant, though unavailing courage, dis-
played by the crews of the Bloodhound and the Har-
lequin in this attempt. But this failure, and the in-
structions which shortly afterwards arrived from the
Admiralty, rendered it ioeUmberit. on Comnuidore
Bruce to take the earliest opportunity of inflicting
summary retribution on the Chief of Lagos ; and in
less than a month after the first attack by the Blood-
hound this refractory chief was assailed by a strong.
and well-organized force, which led to the action of
the 24th and 26th of December, the details of which
have already been placed,before our readers. A more
desperate engagenient has never been fought, for, as
the Commodore states in his dispatch, " our people:
could expect no quarter; • nor did' they get any.
When the Teazer had unfortunately run ashore in
a position that exposed her to be destroyed by
the enemy's guns, Captain Lyster made an heroic
rush into the midst of the armed-hosts on shore, at the,
head of his undaunted 'crew, spiked the guns, and
turned on that point the fortune of the day. But the
loss of life must ever make the reduction of Lagos
one of the most dearly won triumphs of the- British
navy. The treaty which was concluded a few days
later with the-restored chief of Lagos, Akitoye, pro-
hibits the slave trade, expels the slave-dealers, secures
freedom of trade, puts down human sacrifices, and
protects the propagation of Christianity. If these
objects are really obtained, and if the territory of
Abbeokuta proves to be what it is represented by the
missionaries, a city of peace, of commerce, and in
Part of Christianity, an important step may have been
made towards the improvement of Africa: but we
confess we look with little confidence on engagements
extorted from the barbarous chiefs of the African
coast; and the interests of humtmity we have under-
' taken to defend at so large an expenditure of British
life and valour are still surrounded and menaced by
the worst passions of a ferocious population of
heathens, who have learnt nothing from civilization
but increased sensuality, inflamed avarice, and im-
proved methods of destruction.

served to test the acouraoYoopinion, Dlr. Glad-

stone, instead of showing the slightest indication of a
disposition to shrink from the conflict, appears to take
greater courage as it proceeds, and to feel more coo-
fident of an eventual triumph. Little did the Bishop of
London imagine, when he first resorted to the rigours
of prelatic authority against a comparatively unknown
individual, filling a very humble position in the
Church, and content, had he been permitted, to have
lived and died unnoticed and unknown, the laborious
pastor of an attached flock—that the very man whom
he, doubtless, fancied he could ecclesiastically extin-
guish by the breath of his prelatic mouth, should, in
the .brief space of a few months, be transformed
into one of the most formid opponents with
whom his Lordship had ever come into collision.
Yet so it is. Mr. Gladstone has already swelled
into colossal dimensions as the antagonist of Lon-
don's Bishop. And no one who has attentively
watched the progress of the combat can
bare the
slightest doubt that, whatever may be the issue of the
suit in the Ecclesiastical Courts, Mr. Gladstone is
destined to come off victorious in u moral and reli-
gious sense. Dr. Blotritield hitnself must have a pre-
sentiment of the discomfiture, in the latter respect,
which is in reserve for him. It seems as if Provi-
dence had specially raised up Mr. Gladstone to de-
stroy the system of ecclesiastical eespea.m which
exists, with the sanction of the Anglican Church, in
prelatic places. The
assumption and exercise of a
tyrannical authority, on the art of the dignitaries of
p
the Church, have done and are doing incalculable
damage to the Episcopal Establishment, and if not
checked, will most surely bring down the great
ecclesiastical: edifice about the ears of the Bishop,
and.of all who belong to the Chum,. In the mean-
time, it is gleatifYluffetc find . 0-0.4-N4 gontefigh‘-
which Mr. Gladstone is so nobly fighting, he is
daily and hourly receiving the most unmistakable
proofs of the profound sympathy of all reli-
gious denominations. And never was man, more
worthy of the public regard. Few men would
have had the courage to confront alone and unai led—
which was the case in the first instance—the formid
able resources for crushing an opponent, possessed by
the Bishop of London. And let it never be forgotten
that the Rev. Gentleman entered the arena at a mo-

tenance to smile upon him.

been dragged by the Bishop of London. Need we
say that at such a crisis in the Rev. Gentleman's con-
flict with all the resources, pecuniary as well as pre-
latic, of Fulham House, he not only needs the sym-
pathy, but the aid of all who admire the strenuous
stand which he is making for the rights of conscience,
and on behalf of the cause of civil and religious li-
berty ?, Let it not be forgotten, that though Mr.
Gladstone pleads his own cause in person, a very
considerable amount of expenses must necessarily be
incurred in his defence. Nor must the great fact
be overlooked that, the metropolitan , prelate has an
income from 30,0001. to 40,000/. a year, while Mr.
Gladstone's does not exceed 2001. to 250/. These
are mighty odds, so far as pecuniary considerations
are concerned, against the reverend gentleman.
It is for the public to, place Mr. Gladstone in a
more favourable position so far as the pecuniary
weapons of his warfare are concerned. We are sure
we have but to state the posture of affairs to insure
a ready response tot our appeal on his behalf.
Let him not fight the great battle at a disadvantage,
for want of 2001. or 3001. That sum could soon be
raised. A commencement has already been made.
Let the work which has been begun be followed up.
A committee has been appointed to receive subscrip-
tions, whose characters afford a sufficient guarantee
for the judicious as well as faithful application of
the funds which may be collected for behoof of the
Rev. Gentleman. We trust that, before many days
elapse, it will be our pleasing duty to record the re-
ceipt of liberal subscriptions to the Gladstone Fund.
It is for no sectarian or party purpose that the appeal
is made to the assistance of those who sympathise
with the Rev. Gentleman. Churchmen and Dis-
senters must feel an equal interest in the progress
and termination of the struggle now going on be-
tween. Mr. Gladstone and the Metropolitan Prelate.
And not they only, but the friends of civil and reli-
gious liberty—all who are opponents of ecclesiastical
oppression, even where they do not range themselves
under the banner of any sect or denomination what-
ever. Wherever freedom of conscience is respected—
wherever people contend for the right of independent
thought and action in all matters which especially lie
between man and his Maker,—there we confidently
expect a prompt and congenial response to our appeal
for pecuniary assistance to Mr. Gladstone, in the Rev.
Gentleman's heroic conflict with the Lord of London
House.

THE 4TH LIGHT 13BAGOONS.—Tilia fine regiment,
the Queen's Own Light Dragoons, four troops of the
corps having been stationed at Woolwich, and two
troops at Hampton Court. under the command of Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Lord George A. F.Paget, since October
last, have been placed tinder orders to change their

and two troops will leave Woolwich, on the
15th intent, for Norwich barracks. The two troops
(head-quarters) will leave Woolwich on the 16th inst.
for the head-quarters of the troops to be stationed at
Ipswich barracks. It was originally intended that the
4th Light Dragoons should move from Woolwich to
Nottingham, in the northern district; but their destina-
tion has been changed, and will take place as above
stated.' The Bth King's Light Dragoons (Hussars), at

proceeded to the marshes to witness the practice then
being carried on with the Millie rifle, or new pattern
musket. The gallant field-marshal 'was received, by
Lieutenant General George Brown, C. 8., Adju-
tant-Genera', and Major Brownrigg of the Greuadier
Guards, and rionained nearly an hour, while the title-
cominis3iened officers at present under a coarse of in-
struction fired a number of volleys at 800 yards' range,
and completely riddled the target. His Grace after-
wards proceeded to the target to examine the effect of
the balls when they bit it. After his Grace lett the

small sinecure appointment of Governor of Scarborough
Castle, which now lapses into the Good Service Pension
Fund. He entered the army in 1797, became a Colonel
in 1837, and a Major-General on the occasion of the
Prince of Wales' brevet in 1846. General Grant served
for some years in India with the 22d Dragoons, and was
at the taking of Seringspatam and y.He also
took
the short period of three years, in the
ing
less than fifteen fortresses. In 1806, dur-

Sicily, he served with the 21st Fusiliers.
He

again in India. On his return to Europe he joined the
army under the Duke of Wellington, and served with
capturet
the 18th Hussars in the campaign of 1813-14-15, in+
eluding the memorable engagements of Toulouse and
Waterloo.
THE LATE SIR JOHN HARVEY, K.C,B.—We have
already recorded the demise of this distinguished officer,
who died at Nevis Scotia while in the discharge of his
duties as governor of that colony. The deceased gen-
tleman was born in 1778, and entered the army at a
very tender age. He saw,
daring his career, some
.con-
siderable civil and military service. Sir John took part
in the campaigns of Holland,
the Peninsula, France,
served
the
d
Cape, Ceylon, and Egypt; at Bhartpore be rve
under the gallant Lord Combermere. In June, 1812,
he was appointed Deputy Adjutant-General in Upp:-r
Canada, and he served through the campaigns in 1813
and 1814. In August, 1814, he was wounded before
Fort Erie. In 1837 he attained the rank of major-
general, and in 1846 that of lieutenant-general. For
services rendered during the American war, Sir John
received a medal. For some years previous to 1841, he
filled the post of Governor of New Brunswick. In the
latter year he became Governor and Commander-in-
Chief of Newloundland. His next appointment was that '
of Governor of Nova Scotia. In 1844 he received the
colonelcy of the 59th Foot, now at the disposal of the
Commander-in-Chief.
