AT a MEETING of the COMMITTEE
of the BIRMINGHAM BRITISH and FOREIGN
ANTI-SL AVERY SOCIETY, held at the Public Office,
on FRIDAY, the 11th of Decemlser' 1840,
The Rev. TEOMAS ),lORGAN, in the Chair,
The following Resolutions were unanimously adopted :
ON THE RECENT INSTUCTIONS TO JAMAICA

MAGISTRATES.
I. That this Committee have heard with deep regret that
the:Stipendiary Magistrates of Jamaica have been instructed to
suspend their monthly reports on the administration of the
laws and the condition of the Negroes in their respective
districts, and in future to make reports half-yearly only, and to
state nothing which might be painful to individuals.
11. That this Committee cannot refrain from an ex-
pression of their astonishment and sorrow that these in-
structions should hale been sanctioned by the Secretary of
State for the Colonies, such instructions being little less than a
mockery and insult to the Legislature and people of this coun-
try, who after paying Twenty Millions for Emancipation are
left without official means of ascertaining the working- of the
new system.
London, England, 1840-12-21

SWITZERLAND

Letters from Switzerland state that. the Grand Coun-
cil of Solurc adopted on the 13th inst. the following
principles as the bases of the new Constitution of the
clnton :-
1. The sovereignty resides in the people, who exer-
cise it through the medium of its delegates.
2. The Catholic religion is the religion of the canton,
except in the bailiwick of Bucchegglaud, which pro-
fesses the Evangelical creed.
3. The liberty of tht press is guaranteed, saving the
repression of abuses.
4. Industry and trade are free.
5. The right of petition is granted.
London, England, 1840-12-21

consequence of the decrees published in the
Gazette. The Fives left off on the 11th at
26 3-16ths for cash, and 27 at 60 days ; and on
the 12th at 264 for cash.

'TIE CHARTISTS,—Does a Chartist marry two
wives, it is particularly noted that he is a Chartist ;
scores of Professors of the Church of England, or of
certain Dissenting bodies, and professing the ordinary
run of political opinions, may commit the same offence,
and no persons think it worth while to record what is
their faith, either religious or political. The same fact
is true of all other offences. If a Chartist gets drunk,
or steals, or breaks open letters, or commits forgery, it
is carefully chronicled that he is a Chartist, and the
offence is imputed to Chartism. Such a mode of
proceeding is improper, and we are sure that it would
tell much against the Church were every offender who
professes its creed to be set down as a Churchman,
and were his offence, as is done with Chartism, to be
traced to•his religion. But while the Chartists alone
are exposed to such observations, it follows that much
more is expected of them than of other men. They
arc to be snore virtuous than their neighbours, and set
them a good example. This has always been the ease
with rising sects, both in religion and politics, and the
professors of Chartism will probably bear it in mind,
and co rmit no moral offences which may be tortured
into reflecting disgrace on their political creed.
nonou GII OF WA I.S ALL.--ThO Slidfordskire Ex-
awincr states, that the report of the retirement of Mr.
Fine'.► from the representation of Walsall, which we
copied from the Anti-Corn-law Circular, is premature.
We are glad to hear it, as the lion. Member is too
good a trump to be par(cd from without regret.
London, England, 1840-09-09

THE CHINA EXPEDITION.

The movements of the expedition against China have
been watched during the past eight weeks with intense
anxiety. Admiral Elliot left the Cape about the end of
April, and until the 10th of June we heard no more of his
movements. At this latter date her Majesty's ship Mel-
ville, with the Admiral on board, the Blonde, 44,
and two sloops of war, direct for China, were
spoken with off Anjeer by a ship which reached
Bombay on the 12th of July. The Admiral
was understood to have despatched a vessel to Singapore
to give advice of his having taken the Anjeer Channel
route. By this means he could probably reach China
about the same time with the body of the fleet, consisting
of 16 transports, with her Majesty's ships Wellesley,
Cruiser, and Algerine, together with the steamer Atalanta,
which sailed from Singapore on the 30th of May, and
which were afterwards followed by her Majesty's ship
Conway, and transports Futtay, Salem, William Wilson,
and Elizabeth Ainslie.
CHINA, MAY 19.—The intelligence from China pos-
sesses no peculiar interest. The English merchants con-
tinued unmolested at Macao.
The Americans were making every preparation to ex-
pedite their business before the arrival of our expedition.
In the course of next month we may expect to hear at least
of their arrival in China, if not of their doings.
There arc rumours of an intended expulsion of all fo-
reigners from Canton, but we know not whether they de-
serve attention. It is now confidently asserted that an impe-
rial edict, addressed to Lin, has been received, in which the
imperial displeasure about some of his acts is made known to
him. The tac-tuc, or admiral, is said to have a share
in this reprimand, which propably is on account
of the affair of the Bogue, and the false reports forwarded
to Peking regarding h. It is also said that the true state
of the affairs of Bilbaino has reached the Imperial ears.
Lin is said to have been degraded three degrees in rank.
Of late several ivessels have experienced difficultes in
entering the Bogue, the Chinese refusing to allow them
to pass, on the plea that they have taken in their cargoes at
Tungboo.

CITY OF LONDON.

This theatre has commenced operations for the
season. The new drama of The Storm at Home, may
be pronounced equal to any yet produced. The hero
was personated by Mr. Osbaldiston, the Culprit Wife
by Miss Vincent. A new ballet, called The Dumb
Recruit, followed. Another piece, too, was added to
the evening's entertainment, the Captive of Dijon,
which, owing to the united exertions of Mr. Osbaldiston,
Mr. James, Mr. Gardner, Mrs. J. Howard, and Miss
Vincent (who, in the course of the piece, introduced
John Parry's celebrated song of " Wanted a Gover-
ness," accompanied by herself upon the pianoforte, with
considerable effect), kept the audience in one continued
roar of laughter from the commencement to the end.
The Massacre of the Jews of Damascus followed ;
the story of this horrible tragedy, as related by the
public papers, is, as far as possible, adhered to ; and we
doubt not will be profitable to the treasury. The house
was densely crowded.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 7.

LOYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—The
weekly meeting of this body took place to-day, in the
Corn Exchange. Mr. John O'Connell, M.P. for Ath-
lone, attended to conduct the business of the day in the
absence of his father, ar.d on the motion of the Hon.
Member, William Hanlon, Esq., was called to the chair.
Several trembers were aptuittcd, amongst whom
were the Right Rev. Dr. Cantwell, R. C. Bishop of
Meath, and the Right Rev. Dr. Blake, R. C. Bishop
of Dromore.

A letter from Dr. Blake was read by Mr. O'Connell,
in which he says " A domestic Legislature, properly
constituted, under the sway of our good and glorious
Queen, would be the grand panacea for our national
evils. We all should petition for that."

About 90/. was received to-day.
THE WEATHER AND THE CaoPs.—We have the
finest weather for progressing with the harvest—and to-
day the " big week" begins far and wide throughout
Ireland. There are various and conflicting opinions
expressed about the new wheat—some alleging it will
be deficient in quantity, and inferior in quality ; it is
impossible, as yet, to form a correct opinion on this
subject.

THEATRES.

COVENT-GARDEN.
Last night, the second of the season, Sheridan
Knowles's Love was played, with the same cast of cha-
racters, excepting only a small part played by Selby, as
when it was first brought out. If Miss Tree's Countess
be not a perfect piece of acting, it is the fault of her
physical powers alone. Her conception is correct.
Anderson's Huon is a careful performance, with much
energy, many passages delivered in a clear manly style,
the action of many most appropriate. But he has a
fault, and that is the aim at transient applause by bursts
of loudness. Vestris's Catherine was excellent ; and
Diddear, who fully understood his part, performed with
effect. There was a good house.

HAY MARKET.
The Wonder was repeated last night at this house,
Mrs. Glover being substituted—suddenly, as the non-
alteration of the bills would imply—for Miss Helen
Faucit. After the comedy was revived the sterling and
truly English drama the Real-Day. Mr. Wallack re•
sumed, after a lapse of many years, the part of Martin
Heywood. The distribution of the other dramatis per-
some was in almost every respect entirely novel, Mr.
Strickland taking the part of Crumbs, the callous, re-
vengeful steward ; Mr. D. Rees, that of Bullfrog ; Mr.
J. Webster, Toby Heywood—whilst Mrs. Stirling and
Miss P. Horton similated the oppressed farmer's wife
and Poliy Briggs. The house was very well and fa-
shionably attended, his Royal Highness the Duke of
Brunswick, the Hon. Fitzroy Stanhope, Mr. Poole, &c.
being amongst the visitors.

HARVEST.

---
We have letters of Monday's date from East Lothian
saying harvest is getting on most rapidly, with very fa-
vourable weather. The wheat was thought thin, but is
likely to yield well from the straw, and fine quality, and
if not an average crop, nearly so. This, and the great
quantity of foreign now admitted, the farmers fear, will
bring prices very low. Barley, oats, beans, and turnips,
are most abundant crops, and prices of them must come
very low ; new barley has already been at Haddin3ton
market 5611 s. per bushel, and new oats 441bs.
We have also seen the following extract of a letter
from Kirkaldy Market of Saturday last :—" To-day
we have had nearly 400 quarters barley at market, and
prices have declined Is. to 2s. per quarter. We could
ship you a cargo of 521bs. to 531bs. barley in fine con-
dition at 30s. 6d. par quarter, free on board."

What was the course which they bad pursued en the ques-

he thought that they were right in attempting to maintain.

Lord MA HON said that he felt convinced that Hon.
M, mb2rs who had throughout voted as he had done, would
feel it their duty to vote against the amendment of the
Hon. Member for Finsbury.
Mr. WALLACE said he had supported all along the pri-
v ieges of the House, on the principle of their being neces-
sary to maintain the rights of the people, and a convic-
tion of their necessity. He would unflinchingly continue
that course, week by week, or year by year, if necessary,
in spite of the farce he saw in sorrow was now acting on.
both sides of the House, as if by mutual agreement be-
tween those who bad been leaders. In that farce, how-
ever, he would no longer support those who had turned
their backs on all they had said and done, and therefore,
he would assist the Hon. Member for Finsbury in putting'
an end at once to further degradation, by voting with him.
for his amendment.
Mr. WARBURTON thought the only effect of re-
quiring the attendance on the 6th April would be to pro-
duce a triumphal procession down to the House, in order to.
an unconditional discharge, which might as well take place:
now.—( Hear, hear.):
Lord G. BENTINCK thought it was wished that this
Sheriff should be held as a hostage for the passing of th 9
Bill by the Lords.
Lord J. RUSSELL said the effect of the Hon. Mein-
ber for Finsbury's amendment would be to carry the mi.-
conditional discharge of the Sheriff, which he should cer-
tainly oppose.
Sir R. PEEL also declared that he should vote against
the unconditional discharge.
Mr. D UNC 0 MBE then withdrew his amendment.
The SPEAKER put the question as proposed by the
Noble Lord (J. Russell).
The House then divided, and the numbers wore—

WALLACHIAN CONSPIRACY.

By letters from Bucht, of the 12th inst., we
learn that. a dangerous conspiracy has been discovered,
to overturn the existing Government of the Moidavo-
Wallachian provinces, and to massacre Prince Glnka,
the princial family, and all the present Ministers. The
feci of the conspiracy were at Bucharest and in Little
Wallachia, from whence the influential Boyars, on a day
fixed, were to march upon the capital at the head of all the
Pandours of that district they could raise, The day
of St. Demetrius, or the 70) of November, N.S., was
fixed upon for the grand blow, when a simultaneous ris-
ing was to have taken place in the capital and Little
i\vVeraellatehhwiaa
thinefio on received from
rrmati Plans to the Govern-
ment, hut, luckily,
the timely treason of one of their
the designs of the conspirators
mnumber, Constantine Bellio, who denounced his com-
radeseilt. and'through discovered
Bellio, thirteen persons were immediately arrested,
among whom were Demetrius Phillipesco, erroneously
stated to be the nephew of the Prince, but in reality
the
in no way related to him ; Valliant, a French teacher
and a certain Margo or Transylvanian advocate'
The number of conspirators is said to amours'
to six hundred, among whom are many of the riches'
boyars of the province, and not a few of the officers of
the militia. After having overturned the presentf
Government, the design of the conspirators was to
establish a provisionary one, at the head of which
was to be placed Colonel Camniniano, at present
a prisoner in the monastery of P
= anagar;to, about
two hours' distance from Bucharest.
'this provisionary
Government were to call upon the rounzotini of the above-
mentioned provinces to assert their independence, and to
appeal to the powers of Europe for their assistance to
recover their rights, and to establish an independent
kingdom under a prince to be chosen from among the
sovereign houses of Europe.
After the aforesaid arrestments in the capital, Capitan
Costaki, with six gendarmes, was sent to Little Wal-
lachia to effect the arrest of those already implicated,
among whom Otto Tillishano, brother-in-law of Campi-
niano, is mentioned. The Prince named a commis-
sion, composed of his brother, the General of the
Troops, and three other boyars, to examine the
prisoners, and Demetrius Phillipesco was brought
before them ; but be refused to answer any of the
questions pet to him, denying the competency of the
commission, and alleging that, as a boyar, he was only
amenable to the jurisdiction of the Grand Divan.
This ple,, was respected by the Government, and a
Grand Divan was accordingly ordered to be summoned
; for the purreie of pursuine the in‘,(3:g4tion. Campi-
niano Ea.., been remot ed from his present place of co„.

Nov. several more ships had arrived at Cronstadt, which
were among the ice; preparations were making to get

three or four wersts from Cronstadt ' • but beyond that it
was still drifting. A high wind with drifting snow had im-
peded the work on the 25th and 2titb, but ou the 27th it
was prosecuted with great activity.
