THE Ng‘v Timm. OP THE UNITED STATES.

The; following we give as a comparative view.
of the late Law and the new one. Many items are not inserted,
but it will be sufliCient to spew die important changes. The
principle of restricting Trade for the encouragement of Domestic
illanufactures, which England is striving to, and would, if pos.:
Bible, immediately abolish, is here acknowledged and put into
effect; This Law is not to raise a Revenue. The Secretaty of
the United States Treasury is afraid that the Revenue will de.
crease. It is merely .to encourage home manufactures ; of
course England and most of die Other powers will lav on counter-
vailing duties, and trade will be fettered instead of encouraged ;
the law will be 'evaded ; smuggling will become more general,
.as it will be More pr.ofitable ; differences about the treatment
of sonigglers or the right of boarding may. ensue ; and if no
fighting folloivii, some antipathy most certainly will.

By his Excellency, General the Most Noble Marquis of
Hastings, K.G. K.C.B. and 0.C.11., Governor and Com-
inakdet-in-Chicf of the Islankof Malta and its Dependencies,
&c. &e.

This day, General the Mast Noble Marquis of Hastings,
K.G. &c. appointed by his Majesty Governor and Com.
mander-in-Chief of this Island and its dependencies, took the

persons are required to obey him as such.
By his Excellency's command,
FRED. HANKEY,
Chief Secretary to Government.
Palace Valetta, 7th June, 1824.
LANDING OF HIS EXCELLENCY.

Owing to the heaviness of the weather, the Phaeton was not
perceived till nearly eight o'clock in the morning, with the
signal flying, that his Excellency was on board, and by half-
past nine she entered the great harbour, off which he received
the salute of his Majesty's sloop Hind, with the yards manned,
which has just arrived with the convoy from Alexandria.
Immediately after the frigate came to anchor, she was saluted
by the batteries on shore, and the Lieut.-Governor, Major-Ge-
neral Sir M. Power, attended by the military staff and the Sc.
cretary of the Government, repaired on board to offer their
congratulations on his Excollency's arrival, and shortly after
Sir P. Parish) presented himself to expressa hope that the Mar.
quis would condescend to land on a spot selected by the
tese nobility and inhabitants, on which preparations had been
made for the purpose. With this request his Excellency com-
plied. At eleven he left the frigate, under a salute, with the
yards manned, in the Government barge, attended by the Ma.
Jor,General, the Marchioness and family following in Captain
Sturt's barge, which was in attendance on them, the Commis-
sioner of the Navy, and Captain King, of his Majesty's ship
Active.

Ws Excellency on landing was received by Sir Paolo Parisio
and Baron Suberras Trigona. On passing the gates, the Ma-
jor-General tendered hint the keys of the fortress, and his Ex-
cellency then proceeded to the Palace on foot through the
streets of Valetta, which were lined by troops, passing under
a triumphal arch erected on the occasion. Ile was met in the
miunre before the Palace by the President of the High Court of
Appeal, the Members of the Supreme Council of Justice, the
Treasurer to Governm. nt, the Superintendent. of Quarantine,
his Majesty's Judges, and all other Civil Authorities. The
enthusiasm which prevailed it is impossible to describe.

ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

( From the West Briton.)
We have been favoured with the sight of a
letter recently received by a naval officer in Cornwall, from an
officer connected with the expedition which lately left this
country for the purpose of proceeding by land to explore the
shores of the Arctic sea, front Repulse Bay, of which the fol-
lowing extract will, we doubt not, be acceptable to our readers :
His Majesty's Discovery 51oop Griper, Stromeess, 24
July, 11124.
" I cannot leave the Orkney rides without writing you. Of
the nature and objects of this expedition I suppose you are al.
ready well informed, it is therefore unnecessary for me to enter
into details. Every thing which could be thought of for the com-
fort and safety of those engaged in it, has been provided by Go-
vernment: we have complete furdresses ofracoon skin, bags about
6 feet long and sufficiently wide for a man to get into and sleep
in, lints! with the same material ; and pillows which are air
tight, and may be inflated when necessary, to repose on. These
pillows are made of duck of the closest texture, of which two
pieces are glued together by a composition made of India-
rubber dissolved in naphtha, which renders them air-tight.
and the pillows are then formed. There is a stop-cock at one
corner, through which they are inflated, and when not used,
the air is allowed to escape. When empty, a pillow can be
folded up in a small compass, and carried in the pocket.
We have water-proof dresses, swimming jackets, and camp
equipage suited to the climate we have to encounter, all pre.
pared in the same manner. We have also coverings of the same
material for two boats which we have in frame; each of these
boats, :when completed for service, will weigh about 11101 b ;
they are designed to carry six persons each, with some neces.
saves. The party consists of 12 persons, and if we find the sea
1 clear of ice, we are to paddle along the shore. We take
two ponies from Stromness, to convey the luggage across
the peninsula from Repulse Bay to the Arctic Sea ; they
are strong, hardy, and handsome little animals: We have
materials to fbrin a cart for the luggage, on . our arrival,
and six pair of wheels, of different sizes and widths. It
is, however, generally thought that Esquitnaux dogs will
be more serviceable in conveying our luggage on sledges,
titan the ponies in a cart ; and we have a number of sledgis
of various sizes, in case it should be found necessary to use
them. The Snap, surveying sloop, accompanies us as far as
the ice near Hudson's Stritit, where we take. out the stores, pro-
visions, &c. and part company. The Snap will then proceed to
Newfoundland, to continue the surveys of that coast. These
particulars will give you some idea of the manner in which we
are to proceed on our arrival at Hudson's Strait. I trust we
ishall fully succeed in the object in view ; at all events, every
thing that courage and perseverance can accomlish will be
'effected."

THE ARMY.

TRE NEW LEVlES.—Orders have been issued to the differ-
ent Recruiting Parties throughout Great Britain, to discon-
tinue the further enlistment of Recruits for the 99:11 Regiment
of Infantry, the appointed compliment to he raised, in that
portion of the United Kingdom, having been obtained.—By
the latest returns which have been received from Great Britain
and Ireland, it appears, that the total of the Recruits raised for
the 97th, amounted to 480; for the 93th, 339; and for the99th
Regiment, 500 men.
Detachments of Recruits embarked on Sunday last, at the
Glasgow Wharf, for Scotland, to join the 95th Regiment of
FoOt at Paisley, and the 99th at Glasgow.
Detachments of Recruits marched, on Wednesday from the
Recruiting Department, in Westminster, for Chichester, Ports-
mouth, and the Isle of Wight.

COURT Ok' COMMON COUNCIL.

Yesterday a Court of Common Council was
held at Guildhall, pursuant to Special Requisition, to take
into 'consideration the propriety of petitioning the Legislature
for a Reform in the Commons House of Parliament.
The LORD MAYbli said he had attended one hour earlier
to the business of the. Justice Room in order to be in time .in
that Court, but no Alderman was to be found but one (Al.
dennan Ansley). He had waited nearly an hour for them,
whose duty it was to attend-as well as himself; but they were
always ready to attend a meeting of public companies where
there was a -guinea to receive. He was unwilling to act pre-
cipitately, and should therefore wait a short time longer, or he
was ready to adjourn then, and appoint another day for the
Court to meet. It perhaps would please some of those Gentle-
men to have the business of the day go off:
Mr. S. DtxoN recommended his Lordabip to sit _till one
o'clock (it was then within a few minutes of that hour), and
then to adjourn; but just as he had said so, Alderman C.
Smith entered, and the Court was constituted.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Ma. EDlTOR—Having perused in the News-
papers of this day, the report of what occurred
in the House of Commons last evening, upon Mr.
STUART WORTLEY'S presenting the Petition of
the Clerks in the Public Offices respecting the
deductions to which their salaries are subject
under the provisions of the Superannuation Act,
and having observed, with sincere Pleasure, the
favourable sentiments entertained by the House
towards the Petitioners, I beg leave to su4gest
to the consideration of his Majesty's Ministers,
who appear disposed to afford the relief soli-
cited, provided the difficulties interposed by the
operation of the Act can be overcome, that by
granting an increase to the Salaries of the Clerks
equivalent to the amount they respectively con-
tribute to the Superannuation Fund, the neces-
sity of a further Legislative Enactment will be
avoided, the present Act remain in force, and
the wishes of Parliament and the Petitioners
satisfied.

I am, Sir) your obedient Servant,

FRENCH PAPERS.

( From L'EtOile, dated May 13.)
MADRID, MAT 4.—The King, struck with the
injury that is done to Religion and the State by
certain books introduced into the kingdom from
foreign countries, has issued a Decree, which con-
tains the following regulations :
" A Register shall be kept at the frontiers of all the chests of
books which shall be addressed to booksellers ox merchants at
Madrid and other cities of the kingdom.
" Every book which is in the index, and in general every
work, the introduction of which has not been formally autho-
rise,,shalt be detained.
" This license cannot be granted till after the examination
et a copy which shall be sent to the Council.
" /f the proprietor neglects to procure it within the term of
one year, his books shall be forfeited. Prohibited works
shall be deposited with the Ordinary. of the Diocese, where the
seizure of them shall be made ; the importer, besides the con-
fiscation of the books, shall be punished to a fine of 500 ducats,
which shall he increased, and even accompanied with corporal
punishment, in case of a repetition of the offence.
" The prohibition extends to detached leaves, and to the papers
in which the books are wrapped up, experience having ahewn
that this means had.been made use of to elude the law. En-
gravings, paintings, and other productions of the arts of design,
shall be subject to the above regulations.
Private persons who may have in their possession prohi-
bited books, shall deliver them within the time of two months
so the ordinaries of their diocese, under the penalties prescribed
by the existing laws.

Extracts from the Morning Papers, March 17.
[MORNING cur.osietu.]
Papers were last night presented to both
Houses of Parliament, " in explanation of the
measures adopted by his Majesty's Government
for the amelioration of the Slave Population in
his Majesty's possessions in the West Indies, and
on the Continent of South America," extending
in all to nearly 160 folio pages. They consist
of, Ist, the various instructions addressed by
Loyd Bathurst to the Officers administering the
Governments of the respective Colonies. 2d.
Letters and inclosures addressed by the Officers
administering the Governments of the Colonies
to Lord Bathurst. 3d. Papers received since the
docutuents in ihe two preceding classes were
printed. And, 4th. The draft of an Order in
Council for improving the condition of, Slaves in
Trinidad, and proclamation to be issued in the
West India Colonies, &c. There is no question,
that if the provisions of the Order in Council
could be enforced in all the Colonies, the condition
of the negroes would ho materially; improved ; but

Canning, oc to
emancipation proceeding from the interests of the
master, and the improvement of the slaves, to
be wrought by a consenting and co-operating
Legislation in the Colonies, not by reviving a
question almost as dangerous as slavery itself,
rather by the right of reason than by the coer-
cion of authority." But, if example could have
wrought on the Colonies, Trinidad ought already
to have had its influence on the others ; for many
benevolent provisions have long been in force
there, and the condition of its slaves is better
than that of the slaves of any of our old Co-
lonies. " It is the misfortune of our Colonies,
as was well observed by Mr. Wilberforce, that
all the affluent, enlightened, and liberal pro-
prietors reside here, whilst men of a fur dif-
ferent character reside in the Colonies."—So
long as this state of things continues, we fear
little good is to be expected from the operation
of example. Mr. Canning announced the receipt
of a Treaty with the United States, in which
" the two first Maritime Powers of the World
have conceded to each other the right of visit,"
in order to enforce the more effectually the laws
against the Slave Trade, the English carrying
American ships into an American port, to be pro-
ceeded against in American Courts, and vice versa
—the making slave trading piracy, and conceding
this right of search, will go far to extinguish 'that
odious traffic.

[NEW T►-tEs

The great length of our Parliamentary Report
leaves us no space for observation on the. itupor-
taut discussion of last Flight.—The measutes pro-
posed by Government for the mitigation of Sla-
very in the West India Colonies will he found
fully and clearly stated in the speeches of Eat
Bathurst and Mr. Canning ; and the announce-
ment of a Treaty with the United States of
America, admitting a mutual right of %isitatiou
Of merchant vessels for the more effectual sup-
pression of the Slave Trade, will be received
with feelings of satisfaction by every lover of
humanity.

[THE TIMES.]

We believe, that in ►egard to the politics of
this country towards the States of South America,
the speech of Lord Liverpool on Mouday night
will have created no disagreeable sensation
throughout this country. We practically ac-
knowledge the independenct.• of the new States ;
we trade with them ; we station Consuls in
their ports ; and, at the moment that we pub-
licly attest the inability of the mother country
to recover her ancient possession of them, we
declare that we shall not suffer a third
Power to interfere. The States of South Ame-
rica, we should conceive, can want nothing more
from us than this ; and if they are content, the
friends of freedom in England may he content
likewise. Could our refusal to acknowledge
their independence prevent or suspend the at"-
tainment of that blessing, then, indeed, they
would have reason to complain, and their more
ardent friends in England might with justice
re-echo their cries ; but as they may be perfectly
free without our taking any public or formal
notice of the fact, it appears that we have no-
thing more to do, for either their convenience eiC
ours, than to treat them exactly as they aie--ls
we find them, without truub!ing ourselves to
declare what they are, either, to others or tv
themselves.

DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.—A young
female, only 18 years of age, MU lied LAURA
STEVENSON, this morning attempted to put a pe-
riod to her existence by taking laudanum. The
nefortunate young woman lived in Gray's Inn-lane
Road, and on Sunday evening last, having gone to
chapel, she observed her sweetheart in company
with another female, to whorn,he seemed to pay
particular attention. This so preyed on Itcr
mind, that she resolved on destruction, and ac-
tually first attempted to hang, and then to poison
herself. She, however, was, after considerable
exertion, restored, and made sensible of the folly
she had become a prey to.

To know thy heart bath felt for mine.'
Oh, lady ! blessed he that tear,

couraged in his arduous task by the presence of nearly 2,000
spectators, which the delightfulness of weather and the no.

and in their respective apartments they
proceeded on the experiment of culinary skill.
They all agreed that the steak should not

the pan in a quantity of lard, a pound nod a hail

but wheb the heat of their fires operated, there
was a complete overflow of the lard, the curse.

THE THEATRE.

COVENT-GARDEN.—The Merchant of Venice,
one of the most interesting and amusing of the
works of our great dramatic Poet, was repre-
sented last night at this Theatre.. The chief no-
velty of the night was the appearance of Mr. J.
RussELL in the part of Skylock. Mr. J. RUSSELL
has been before the public at this and at the Hay-
market Theatre as a comedian of considerable
merit, and not having assumed what may be a
gloomy and revengeful character before, he
had a great difficulty to surmount in the minds of

those who recollect his comic performances. His
Skylock was throughout respectable ; but he did
not throw out any new light on the character
sufficient to induce us to think that lie ought to
relinquish that line of acting in which he justly
acquired repute tion. There was a strong.expression
of feeling in the scene follo►wing the discovery of
,his daughter's elopement, but we think there
.►i.as more impressive energy and character in that
before the tribunal of the Duke. He was well
received. Mr. Cooeim was critically just and
interesting in Bassani°. The parts of Jessica and
Lorenzo were pleasantly supported by Miss II AIV..
MEltithEY and Duansvr, particularly the former.
Mrs. St.ostms is too experienced and too judicious
an Actress not to be respectable in what-
ever she undertakes ; but her sphere is Tragedy,
and there is a sportive ease in the part
of Portia, which is not well suited to her talents.
In the more serious passages, however, she ap-
peared to advantage. The part, in our opinion,
should have been assigned to Miss LACY, whose
tragic powers are well known, and whose very
successful performance in A Woman Never Veil,
chews that she is well qualified for the familiar
drama. The house was crowded, and the new
Pantomime went off with great applause.
