interpreted. It was written originally, we are gravely
_informed,r to General Harrison' but will be presented to
M . Tyler. We presume Mr. Tyler will treat the mis-
sion and its bearer with the contempt they merit. The
letter itself purports to have been written by the " vene-
rable Thomas Clarkson," but by whomsoever written or
by whomsoever borne, it is a piece of impertinent impu-
dence that ought to consign everybody connected with it
to the care of the door keeper—whenever they enter the
Presidential mansion. It is a gross and direct insult to
the country, and should be so treated.
It is a pretty time of day, sure enough, if these
English gentry suppose they can be permitted to inter:
fere in this way with the internal concerns of the country
and make the very Executive Hall the theatre of its
athomless insolence. We recollect a good deal of the
history of this Sturge. At some assemblage of Aboli-
tbnism in England, not long since, or in a letter to
so ne body of the sort, he indulged himself in abuse
and invectives upon the people of the United States, only
\
equalled by the burly blackguard O'Connell. A very
proper person this, to carry letters to our President,
nd deliver them in person at Washington while Con-
r.3ss is in session.
In time of war it was deemed necessary to send Bri-
tish subjects " forty miles from tide water." • When in
a time of profound peace, an emissary comes among us
intent on mischief infinitely more dangerous, it would
be about as well to escort hun " forty miles towards tide
water," and tell him to go home and mind his own
business. We do not recommend a supplimental kick
or two, by way of reminding him of his manners here-
after, but it would be no inappropriate mode of teach-
ing John Bull that he had better take care of his own
slaves before he meddles with ours,--Netv Y 7 '

Madrid Journals of the 7th ult. announce that
the Regency has removed the Bishop of Pain-
peluna from his See, for publishing a pastoral ad-
dress in favour of the Papal Allocution. This is
going the right way to work. A few such re-
movals will set at rest the scruples of the Prelacy.
Bishops are not the stuff of which to make mar-
tyrs.

There is no news in these papers of the least
interest. The Regency question is still pending.

THE CORN-LAWS.

At a Meeting of the London Woolstaplers, held at the South-
wark Arms Inn, Tooley-street, May 3, 1841, the following
Petition wai adopted unanimously:
'l'o the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and
Ireland, in Parliament assembled.
The 'Petition of the Woolstaplers of London,
Sheweth,

That the Corn-laws render the first necessaries of life, in
sufficient quantity, unattainable to vast multitudes of the work-
ing classes.
That a want of food is the prime motive to crime, the fore-
runner of disease, and the cause of linger:ng and premature
death.

That any portion of a population in a state of famine will
necessarily undersell the wotkmen already employed, who in
their turn are brought to starvation ; thus tending to reduce
the whole labouring community to the lowest point at which
existence can be supportsd.
That a population thus degraded by famine are ignorant and
fit instruments in the hands of designing demagogues, to be
used for the purposes of rebellion and violence. To avoid
these imminent perils, rapidly tending to involve the whole
community in one common ruin,
Your petitioners pray for a total and immediate Repeal of
the Corn-laws. CHARLES COOKE, Chairman.

COPY OF A PETITION IN THE COURSE OF SIGNATURE AT

BATH.

That, after a long struggle in consonance with the generally
expressed feelings of the nation, the British Legislature pass rd
an Act abolishing colonial slavery, as entirely inconsistent with
Christiatiity.
That, in furtherance of this enactment, it wa; made felony
for a British subject to assi-t in any way in carrying slaves to
the Brazils, Cuba, or elsewhere.

That, in addition to the 20 millions for compensation, up-
wards of 10.000,0001. sterling has been expended since 1807
in endeavouring to put down the Alrican slave trade, and that
a large sum is still annually devoted to the same object.
That it appears from official documents that upwards of
50,00.1 slaves are annually imported into the Brazils and the
H :vannah.

That your petitioners have learnt with s rprise and alarm,
the intention of her Majesty's Chancellor of the Exchequer to
submit to Parliament a bill or proposition to reduce the duties
on the Brazil and other slave-made sugar about 45 per cent.
That your petitioners submit that such a reduction of duty
is an anomaly in legislation—as, on the one hand, discouraging
slavery by penal enactments ; asid, on the o•her, offering a
premium to those foreign nations which uphold it; conse-
quently, is not only inconskent, but certain to aid in perpe-
tuating the very evil which the British nation has made so
great a sacrifice to remove.
That your petitioners further submit that, independent of the
pr'nciple which the question involves, it will be impossible for
free labour in the West and East Indies to compete with foreign
slave-lab.,ur at the rate of duty proposed by the Chancellor of
the Exchequer.
Your petitioners, therefore, humbly implore your Honour-
able House not to deal with the present subject as one merely
of Commerce or Finance, but as a national question con-
nected with the great experiment, now in progress, of the
practicability of abolishing slavery in every quarter of the
globe—an experiment which (Aber nations are anxiously watch-
ing, and the success of which mainly depends on the consist-
ing and moral firmness of your boom' -able House.
And your petitioners will ever pray, &c.

At the meeting of Magistrates at the Town
Hall, Croydon' :on Monday, Inspector Collier, of tee P
applied to the Bench to issue notices, requiring
the iuhabitants to keep their dogs properly secured, in
order to prevent mischief from canine madness or other_
wise. The Inspector !•tsted that comp'aints had teen
made to the: Commissioners of It e number of dogs that were
suffered to be about tbo streets loose ; and a day or two
previous a child had bees bitten as it ws.s walking in the
High-street. The Chairman said that it was very neces-
sary the public should be protected, and he at the same
time observed that as he was returning home from the
Bench a fe v days before, he was attacked by a dog, end
'very narrowly t sespcd from being bitten. He expressed
his opinion, however, that the Commissioners :Acre r
polvered under the Polce Act, to tike .more :active
and effectual proceedings than the Magistrates could
under the Croydon Local Act. The clerk to b
Bench then read the clause of the Al( troi iolitan
Police Act, by which constables belonging to the
force wcrc aUthoriSed to destroy any deg that
might reasonably be supposed to be in. a

MAIDSTONE.—Within the last few days the hines have made
great progress in this district, but in the neighbourhood of
Coxheath they have been seriously injured by the flea, and it

MR. GROOM'S TULIP SHOW.

The private exhibition of this beautiful collection-of tulips
took 'lace yesterday, in the gardens at Walworth. We h..ive
for years had the plersure of witnessing the annual show, a9d
on no occasion have we seen the plants in such a healthy state,
or the flowers exhibiting such endless tints of shade and bril-
liancy of colour. The great favourite this season is our old
friend Nourri Effendi, who took the lead of every species some
two or three years ago, and seems determined to keep his
ground. The Pomp Funebre and the King of the Nether-
linds, of the same colours, are also good, but greatly inferior.
Louis-Seize, white and purple, is extremely beautiful, and is
massed as the second best in the collection, and after these
come the Duch( es of Sutherland, Prince of the Netherlands,
and 11Iarcellus. Owing to the warm and genial weather the
lants are approaching rapidly to maturity, and will be in per-
fection in the course of th's week. We would therefore ad-
vise all who have a fancy for this beautiful branch of floricul-
ture to take an opportunity of seeing them while in the best
condtion, especially as a season so favourable for the growth
of the plant and the beauty of the colours rarely occurs.

After a few words from Lord SANDON and Mr. HAWES,

Mr. C. WOOD said if no protection was to be taken off,
and if it was agreed that the people could not hear any
additional burdens, the question was from what source
they were to obtain the deficiency that at present
existed.—( Hear, hear.) He believed there was a general
feeling among commercial men throughout the country, that
the import duties ought to be revised, in order to effect some
improvement in trade, which was at present in a very de-
pressed state. He did not think the landlords would be found
generally to offer so much opposition to a measure for a reduc-
tion of theduty on corn when it was brought forward, as one of
a series of measures for taking off protective duties, as if it was
brought forward as a single and specific measure.—(Hear. )
Until the proposed measures were tried, and be did not believe
they would fail, no single tax could be laid on the people.
,rd J. RUSSELL said in the course of next week he
should en..4earur to state to the House the exact nature of the
4duction he in.
ended to propose in the Corn-laws.
Mr. THoRNELfY said, whatev*,*r Hon. Members on the
other side might say, the t-reat bulk of the merchants and ma•
nufacturers of the country wer: in favour of a reduction of the
duties on the necessaries of life, ant; .he woad instance
only the
petitions that had emanated from 53,001, inhectants of Liver-
pool on the subject a few days since, and at wfm.ll men of all
parties and politics had attended.
The resolution was then agreed to, and the House rt.Ssumed
