EVENING EDITION

" MR. FORSYTH TO MR. FOX.

" Department of State, Washington, Feb. 1, 1841.
" Sir,-1 have the honour to acknowledge the receipt
f your letter of the 20th ultimo, in which you state that
'ou are instructed to represert to me that the attention of
er Majesty's Government has been seriously directed
the case of the negroes of the Spanish ship Amistad,
vith the anxious hope that the President of the United
States will feel himself empowered to take such measures
in their behalf as will secure to them the possession of their
liberty.

" viewing this communication as an evidence of the be-
nevolence of her Majesty's Government, under which as-
spect alone it could be entertained by the Government of
the United States, I proceed, by the direction of the Pre-
sident, to make, in reply, a few observations suggested by
the topics of your letter. The narrative presented therein,
of the circumstances which brought these negroes to our
shores, is satisfactory evidence that her Majesty's Govern-
ment is aware that their introduction did not proceed from
the wishes or directions of the Government of the Uei!ed
States. A formal demand having been made by the Span-
ish Minister for the delivery of the vessel and property, in-
cluding the negroes on board, the grounds upon which it is
based have become the subject of investigation before the
judicial tribunal; of the country, which have net yet pro-
nounced their final decision thereupon. Yon must be aware,
Sir, that the Executive has neither the power nor the dispo-
sition to control the preceedings of the leeal tribunals,
when acting within their appropriate jurisdicti m. With re-
gard to the other considerations presented by you i behalf
of the negroes of the Amisted, I have to remark that it is not
understood that the facts upon which they arc founded arc
admitted by the Minister of her Catholic Majesty; and this
Government would with great reluctance erect itself into
a tribunal to investigate such questions between two friendly
sovereigns. If, however, these facts arc established, they
cannot be without their farce and effect in the proper time trod
place. You hove doubtle3s ebzert ed, front the co: responr:-
erica published in a congressional document, that it is the
intention of the Spanish Minister to restore these negroes,
should their delivery to his Goverment be ordered, to the
Island of Cuba. whence the vessel in which they were-
found sailed, where they will be placed under the prcoec •
tion of the Government of Spain. It is there that gees-
tions arising under the Spanish laws and the treaties, of
Spain with Great Britain may be appropriately di:cussed
and decided ; and where a full opportunity will be presented
to the Government of her Majesty the Queen of Great
Britain to appeal to the treaty stipulation applicable to the
subject of your letter.
" I avail myself of this occasion to renew to you the as-
surances of my distinguished consideration.
"JOHN FORSYTII.

PARLIII=ZNT.&U.Y.

The Administration of Justice, and the other Bills
which have recently passed both Houses, received the
Royal Assent last night.
The Marquis of Normanby inquired if the Govern-
ment meant to take up the Drainage Bill ; and was
answered, certainly not this Session ; and what might
be done the next it was impossible to say. The Noble
Marquis said, as the Bill had the support of the Duke of
Wellington, if the Government did nut bring it forward
he would.
The Poor-law Commission Bill was read a third time.

A useful debate on the Corn-laws took place on a pe-
tition of the Earl of Radnor. We have elsewhere referred
to it.

The Marquis of Normanby noticed an extraordinary
letter he had received from Mr. Lacon, but founded no
motion on it.

Lord Brougham brought the slave trade under the
notice of the Peers, and stated that a large amount of
the capital of this country was employed in maintaining
slavery end supporting the slave trade. lie showed that
British subjects engaged in this illegal traffic committed a
felony, and rendered themselves liable to transportation for
life. His Lordship drew a frightful picture of the mode
of getting slaves in India, and demonstrated, we think,
while he justly inveighed against these abominable prac-
tices, how impotent are the laws to.suppress a profitable
traffic. The Noble Lord recommended the speedy
emancipation of the slaves at Ceylon, and declared that
the total abolition of slavery was the only effectual
means of putting a step to the atrocities of the slave
trade.

The Earl of Ripon" said that the attention of Lord
Stanley was directed to the subject, and when her Ma-
jesty's Goverment were in possession of all the informa-
tion, they would see what could be done to amend the law.,
Lord Elleuborough made a moderate and short
speech, in which he referred to the murders committed
by Btu he and flare at Edinburgh, for the sake of
the price • the dead bodies tetched. Lord. Brougham,
in reply, stated that he had predicted before those
n urders that if measures were not taken to reduce
the price of subjects fbr dissection murders would be
committed for the sake of selling the bodies. . The
Noble Lord withdrew his motion for papers'on the subject.

The Commons only received petitions, and gave one
or two notices for nett Session. In reply to Sir C.
Napier, Sir Robert Peel would say nothing about
M'Leod. In reply to Mr. Brotherton EC said that Sir
J. Graham would go down to Windsor and lay the me-
morials and petitions of the people before her Majesty.
That, and a laconic announctanent to each party peti-
tioning, that their petitions have been laid before the
Queen, is all that will now be done with the memorials
and petitions, which have caused a great number of
people a great deal of trouble. The 1-lotte butuediatety
adjourned.

NORTIIWICII.

An Anti-Corn-law tea party was held here on the
evening of Wednesday last, after which a public meet-
ing was held for the purpose of petitioning her Majesty
not to prorogue Parliament until they have taken the
state of the nation into their consideration. The place
of meeting was the Tabernacle, a place of worship be-
longing to the Association of Methodists, which was
crowded in every part by the neighbourhood.
E. WORTHINGTON, Esq., of Winnington Hall, was
called to the Chair; and in his opening address, in an-
swer to the objection to holding such meetings in a place
of worship, alluded to the fact of a flag having been
raised on the church steeple, and the church bells rung
after the defeat of the late most worthy Member for the
southern division of the county, Geo. Wilbraham, Esq„
and said " he hoped that the next time a flag was seen
floating from that steeple, and the bells rune for any po-
litical object, it would be for the repeal of the Corn-laws,
for Universal Suffrage, and Vote by Ballot."
The meeting expressed their agreement with him
by cheers.

The Rev. W. LAMB .moved the petition to the Queen
in a spirited speech.
Several Anti-Corn-law meetings had been previously
held in the town, and well attended, but this was by far
the most important, as well in its object as for respecta-
bility, numbers, and unanimity.
On Thursday, Mr. Heyworth and Mr. Jones addressed
a numerous and attentive audience in the Market-place,
on the evil effects of tho food and other monopolies,
and the duty of the people on the present crisis.
HINDLEY.

The inhabitants of Hindley and Ashton-in-Macker-
field, are not asleep to their best interests. A Corn-
law Association has been formed in each of the above
villages, and meetings are held almost every evening.
The Ministers of religion are taking an active part.
Last evening a public meeting took place in the rooms
of the Mutual Instruction. Society, 16, Great Tower-
street, London, for the purpose of hearing Sidne% Smith,
Esq., lecture on the present Corn-laws, at which a large
number of the members attended. A memorial to her
Majesty, praying that she would not prorogue the Par-
liament till the Corn and Provision-laws were first
taken into consideration, lay for signature in the room,
which was subsequently signed by nearly all present.

FOREIGN. •
The steam-boat Peiki Chevket had arrived at Candia
from Constantinople, bringing the Sultan's fiehaan, grant-
ing an amnesty to the Candiot insurgents.
The affair of Tunis, and the question of disarma-
ment chiefly occupy the Paris Journals of Monday.
Their tone is extremely warlike, but for w hat new
cause we cannot discover. The view taken of the Tunis
question by La Presse, the organ of the Court, as well
as Count Mole, will be fouud among the foreign news:
The SentintiL dela Marine, a Toulon Journal, states
that the return of the Montebello ship of the line from
Tunis, has caused considerable excitement. It is sup-
posed that the only French ships stationed there are the
_Hercule and Neptune, but reports are circulated
of the departure of several vessels that quarter. A
steamboat had sailed from Tuition with despatches, said to
be of a pressing nature, for Commodore Leroy, off Tunis.
On Saturday died, at his residence in Paris, aged 63,
Grimaldi Honore V., Prince of Monaco, Duke of Valen-
tinois, Peer of France, Grandee of Spain of the First
Class, and a Noble of Genoa._

The accounts from the principal wire growing dis-
xicts in France, Burgundy, Champagne, the Ilhone, and
he Gironde, are on the whole very favourable.
The Duke of Devonshire has arrived at Munich. _

The Hamburgic Gazette of the 24th ult. states that the
object of the Conference between the Emperor of Rus-
sia and the King of Prussia at Warsaw was to take into
consideration a proposal made by the British Govern-
ment, tbr a general disarming or diminution of all the
fleets in Europe.
The Konigsberg Gazette calls the attention of the
European Powers to the display of military made by
Russia on the Prussian frontier.

General Maroto, who, signed the Convention of Ber-
gara, by which 1)on Carlos was driven out of Spain, has
addressed a letter to Colonel Milian, complaining of the
riots at Valencia, in consequence of the appointment
of two Carlist Officers, who served under him, to
military appointments in that City. Though the
General takes- up the matter a little too warmly,
considering that one of the officers was obnoxious to the
citizens for acts committed during thd reign of King Fer-
dinand, we have little doubt that his letter will be pro-
ductive of much good in Spain. In no country is a
union of the inhabitants or every shade of opinion more
necessary to the advancement of the general prosperity
than in Spain.

1,1,7211 E, SEPT. 19.—From the answer of the h linister
to the serration made in the section of the Second C.-1. =tuber
of the States-General on the proposed budget for the year
I it appears that the Government is of opinion that the
present project of the budget is not contrary to the letter, &id
is coui.,. triable to the manifest intention of the fundamental
law, WI ch eracts that the budget shall be fixed for two year*,
and tin t it shall always be brought forward a year before the.:
expirati-in of that time, and as there is not yet any triennial'
budget., the obligation to produce it in advance is not binding.
Fi.i.,iTING, SEPT. 18.—We had to-day the pleasure of see-
ing Lis Majesty's frigate the Rhyn, commanded by his Royal
Hightt,,s Prince Henry, cast anchor in our roads. His Ma-
jes'ty h s granted a recompense to the crew of the English fish-
ing stw,ekWilliam and Mary, as a testimony of his satistaction
at their having, in October, Ib4o, saved, at the peril of their
lives, the crew of the Netherlands bark Mercurius, which was
lost on the Kentish Knocl, near Ramsgate ; and the master,
Richard Andre;', s, has received also a written certificate of his
gooi conduct.
The squadron that has been on a cruise for the exercise of
the MC : is now discharged, and the ships have gone into the
harbour of the Nieurve Diep, except the Rhyn.
In some gardens at Arnhem and Nimeguen the apple and
Far-t,. es are in blossom for the second time, and in some in-
ttanee- /he fruit is set, prolsablv in consequence of the early
ripening of the first fruit, and the extreme fine weather which

WOMAN.—To the honour—to the eternal ho-
nour of the sex, be it stated, that on the part of duty no sacri-
fice is to them too high or too dear. Nothing is with them im-
possible, but to shrink front what love, honour, innocence, and
relicrion require. The voice of pleasure or of power, may pass by
unheeded; but the voice of Ai:aim—never. The chamber of
t?.e sick—the pillow of th.. dying—the vigils of the dead—the
:tars of roil:rum, never the piesen" or the sympathies
of kind roman. Timid though she be, and •so delicate that
the winds of heaven may not too roughly visit her, on such oc-
casions she loses all sense of danger, and assumes a preter-
natural courage, which knows not and fears not consequences.

that eey were not the lords of the soil. Their revenue
was
: (significant compared with the rich commercial'.
of the country. They would think of the paltry •
sixtcei millions of revenue gathered from 150 millions
of pee ae living on a soil of fertility, and they would
cop oa.: 3 it with the fifty millions raised from twenty
mith...n: of people in this country, while their land-ts..:
man c :bat canntry of India a desert—a desert in all but
the v.; and teeming luxuriance of the earth. It lvould.
be , but they had made it poor. Let him look at
the is: ue of this. Why were they obliged to discuss
that ql estion of the land-tax in India at public meetings?
It was. )ecause they would not discuss it there. They
had et. er business to attend to, but he denied that they
had .ore important business to attend to.—(Chee.rs)
But ti ay knew the Indian question was a bore. They
knew that the people of thin country were only waltin7:,
and tat. it would be a long time before they wen.

Mr. STUKER said be for one of the Directors never

see no utility in discussing that question now. They
must f.:•st getParliaraent to adopt their action. They were
not he authorities that could decide such, measures,
The most intelligent_ men in the country had considered
the inject for years, and none had been more widely
discussed. He had always studied thzt which was use-

A.G2aCULTI72,II2.

The accounts from the Newcastle corn-districts are
unexceptionally gratifying, and the produce everywhere
promises to be a good average one.
Yorkshire has had some splendid days, and the stack-
yards are filling fast.
At Kilmarnock the progress made in cutting down
and houSing is famous, and four days more will find the
fields cleared.

At Derry the oat-crop has ripened well. Though
the sickles are busy at Tuam, heavy rains have in some
places prostrated the corn, as if by a rolling-stone.

.e.wn PIEXLVTAItY.

The ship Betty, laden with corn, which was, some time
since. run down by another vessel near Gravesend, and
long formed a serious obstruction to the river navigation,
has been raised by Mr. John Fraser, who also raised the
Kelso. It now lies at Colehouse Point.

A most atrocious murder and piracy has lately been
committed by the inhabitants of the Nicobar Islands. at
Hoho Bay, on the persons of the Captain and crew of the
Pilot, which had anchored there, and traded -with the
natives. Of the crew :there were 21 missing, and there
is no doubt of their having been massacred. Two were
known to be killed, and ten were saved by pushing off in
a canoe, with only 27 cocoa nuts among ten men. A
complete plunder was made of the ship by the natives.

The advantages offered to the public by the above Offices
are such as result from a course of ❑ninterrupted prosperity,
the fruits of a prudent and economical management for a pe-
riod of thirty-five years.
At the present time so many establishments exist, vieing
with each other in the profession of benefits to the public,
which numerous failures, and con.equent ruin to thousands of
industrious families have proved to be fallacious, that the Di-
rectors think they will best discharge their duty to the Proprie-
tors and to the Public by a simple statement of the advantages
which have been realised by these Offices.
The COUNTY FIRE OFFICE has not only settled all
claims with promptitude vnd liberality, but has, from its first
establishment, made large Returns to the Insured.—These
amount at the present time to 125.0001.
The PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE has at each septen-
nial period divided the whole of the profits, subject to a deduc-
tion of about a twentieth part only, among the insured. The

HATTON-GARDEN.

Lord KalmaineTnaerded by his solicitor, waited on Mr.
Combe to solicit his advice under the following circum-
stances :—His Lordship stated, that having for some
time past noticed an advertisement in a morning paper
for the sale of three horses, which were standing in
Fitzroy-mews, he, in the beginning of the week, was led
to pay a visit there and examine the animals. He took
a fancy to one of them, and being assured that it los
perfectly sound and without vice, he gave it a trial, and
was so pleased with it that he purchased it, at three
o'clock on Friday afternoon, for forty guineas, and im-
mediately rode off with it into the park. Scarcely, how-
ever, had he been out an hour, when the horse fell lame-
This caused him to send for a veterinary surgeon, who
immediately pronounced the animal to be almost rotten,
and advised that it should be taken back to the person
from whom he purchased it. lie did so, but the stable-
boy refused to allow him to put it into the stable, alleg-
ing that he dared not open the stable to any one without
his master's permission. His Lordship then asked where
the master was to, be found, and being told that his name
was Stephens, and that he lived next house to the rest'
dente of Lord Bristol, at Putney-heath, he dispatched
his servant there, but, as he expected, no trace was to be
had of him. His Lordship, under all the circumstances,
hoped that the worthy Magistrate would be of opinion
that he could take cognizance of the matter.
Mr. COMBE said this was a very stale trick, and it
surprised him greatly that so many experienced noble-
men and gentlemen were so readily entrapped. For the
present he could not see thathe could serve his LordshilN
but if there were any chance he would.
Mr. COMBE having given some private directions, his
Lordship retired.

V J. Henwood,
with much pleasure read the report of N .
E, q., F. R. S., and her Majesty's underground mine sur-
veyor in the Duehy of Cornwal!, in which he gives a most
satWactary and encouraging account of the undertaking,
and which has since been confirmed by the di;covery of
silver ore in the forty fathom level (the greatest depth yet
attained), producing 639 oz. of fine silver to the ton of ore.
It appeals the ore impro/as both in quality and quantity as
the works descend, and although the greatest depth at pre-
sent attained compared to other mines is but very trifling,
upwards of 15,000 oz. of silver have been raised, besides
many tons of lead. There is a silver mine now workingin Brit-
tany which has been producing a profit of 50,000/. per an-
num for some time past, the characters of which are known
to resemble that of Sark ; and from the direction it bears is
not unlikely to be a continuation of tile same vein, as mine-
ral VeMa have been traced to a much gre tter distance than
that betwren Sark and Brittany. Mr. Henwood also
speaks favourably of the Herrn Copper Mines, an under-
taking. which we understand is about to be carried on with
increased v!gour. As the prosperity of both these under-
, takings will be cf groat importance to the Channel Is-
