SIR CHARLES NAPIER AND ST,
MARIE 1,..1.k-BONNE.
A L EC 'END.
Showing how Sir Charles de red out of the hands of Tory
recreants, the fair Virgin e.la-bonne ; and how thedam-
'scl espoused him in retorn, auk d seated him in her House.

Fainting, hound, and bruised of limb,
Galled by chains and brambh 's grim,
Thus, in distress, cried Marie. la-bonne,
As Tory recreants dragged he - on
•
" Help, help, Sir Knight, :Scar 3 esra's sake,
hese robbers would my froedotn tike ;
And bolts and.bars about me, draw.
And rule me w:th an iron lm v
And starve me. with their met gre'bread-
0, tear me from their thraldon.: dryad."
That damsel's voice—that peril otut cry .
Straight heard the Knight who • rode hard by ;
Hight Sir Charles was the Champion's name,
He had battled in blood and for relit Ts flame ;
A Knight, who stormed with Iris nalorous sword,
The giant-hold of the Pagan bind e,*
And crimsoned the whole of the 'Syrian sea,
With the blood of her infidel Pay nimry.
Praise too was his, in that compf 'ring hour,
That Clemency tempered Sir Na pier's power;
That midst of his conquest, hauy.,4 it and hot,
Blessedest Mercy neglected he nt t,
But saved with a soul heroic a: sc. just
Syria's maids from the soldiery's:•:iust :
Therefore the lades all love him. well,
And their honey-sweet lips on I, tis victories dwell,
While balconies glitter and hand kercMsfs wave,
Wheresoever appeareth Sir Nai iier the brave.
But Sancta Maria! the cries of • La-Bonne
Pained him at heart, and his s!iurs sped him on ;
True to his crest—to his line age true—
" Readdy, aye. readdy "t --he sprang on the crew.
The infamous, merciless, miscreant gang
Of plundering Tories, with 'oar py.like fang,
Who wrongfully sought to eritsap and enclasp
Marie-la-Bonne in their murderous grasp :
To jail her up in their donjoi
And thrust her low in its dar ksomest deep ;
To starve her alive, or bave "tier but fed
On Spartan black-broth or " monopoly " bread,
'Stead of gladding her heart , as Reformers would do,
With the bountiful food that abroad Piere grew—
With the sweets of the Wo rkti, and the whole World too.
.Jesu ! Like nine it had gi ariden'd your heart
To have seen the astonish' d Tries start,
When down in the midst )f their infamous gang,
Like a lightning bolt Sir 'Napier sprang ;
How his broadsword adr. sitly the Tory:nen cleft,
Smiting to right, and r, J-smiting to left ;
Never, I ween, was a t et aller rout !
Yelling they fled from hi, a thunder-strokes stout,
Till, praising his pro we ,s, bright Marie-la-bonne,
Reposed in his warrior-: arms alone.
Beauty to Bravery !--11/ .arie-la-Bonne
('fo finish the legend rt iy Muse begun),
In gratitude gave to tb at chivalrous Knight,
Who saved her from T ory dominion and spite,
Herself—her sweet sell • !—with her golden dowers
Of People who loved 1 ler, her churches, and towers ;
And thus linked together in love and delight,
To her Hou SE most htrEarar. led her true Knight.
St. Stephen's rejoice ! for Reform never gave
A champion more valiant than Napier the Brave.
* The Fort of Acre, hitherto accounted impregnable.
The motto bo me by Sir Charles's family.

HAMPTON AND 117.0ULSEY RACES—YESTERDAY.
To keep pace with ;:ts rivals, Hampton has its " grand day,"
the distinguished roc a, in lieu of a cup, being " the Queen's
Guineas ;" it was run in heats, and being supported by two
other lt beats, answered the purpose quite as well as
an event with
lso
a,
more sounding title, and drew the largest as-
semblageraee
collected on Moulsey Hurst. The river and
re in an unceasing' bustle throughout the day, and
the road from town, as well as from the Esher station,
itsbanks
were J thronged with carriages that collisions were
treqrent ; fortunately two or three unwished-for ablutions, and
a r.ew broken panels were the only contingencies that passed
'under our notice. The crowd on the race course was awful,
and a very laborious duty necessarily devolved upon the Clerk
of the Course and his coadjutors, the potiee—it was performed
zealously, cheerfully, and with entire success ; indeed, a
new spirit has been infused into the direction of the
sport which promises well for future years. The
pressure of electioneering matter, must be our excuse for not
entering more fully into the local and general fe tures by which
the Meeting acquired its popularity, and for concluding our
introduction with a general remark, that the day's amusement
passed off in the most satisfactory manner to the company, and
without any of those irregularities that have on some occasions
disturbed the harmony of the sporting circles. Amongst the
viiiitors were his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge,
Lords Chesterfield, rosslyn, Adolphus, Fitzclarence, W. Len-
nox, Maidstone, G, 13entinck, Macdonald, Somerton, South-

First heat—The betting was unusually " cautious" at the
following prices —Even on Belgrade, 2 to 1 agst Ben Brace,
and bto 1 agst Cantle. The race was entirely between the
Colonel colt and Ben Brace, the former leading to the last turn
in the second round, where. Ben passed him and won in a can-
ter ; Belgrade and Cantle lid not go for the heat, and barely
saved their distance.
Second heat—Even on Belgrade and 3 to 1 agst Ben Brace.
Cantle made all the running, Belgrade following him to the
distance, where he put in an apfearance, had the lead at the
Betting-stand, and won easy by a length.
Third heat-6 and 7to 4 on Belgrade. Cantle and Ben
Brace made the running till within a quarter of a mile of

BoßouGh OF FINSBURY.—On Wednesday a
meeting was held at the Ironmongers' Arms, St. Luke's, for
the purpose of adopting measures to secure the return of Mr.
Thomas Siingsby Doncombe. The Chairman, Mr. Williams,
very strongly descanted upon the artful address put forward by
Mr. Tooke, the Tory lawyer, and trusted that, notwithstanding
his persevering attempts,lo intrude himself upon the electors,
his object would be triumphantly defeated. Several resolutions
were passed regarding the readiest and best method of sup-
porting the Liberal Members, and Mr. Thomas Dimcombe in
particular.

ADDRESS

TO THE PEOPLE OF SCOTLAND, FROM THE
UgAIBERS, OF THE ABERDEEN NATIONAL
ASSOCIA:TION. Felb—. PROgroTING- TUE P(-).
_,LITIOA-L,ANt• SOCIAL IMP.ROYEDIENX OF
THE. PEOPLE.

Fellow Countrymen,—In the earnest desire to pro-
mote the welfare .of our country, and to,procure for our-
selves and fellow-labourers our righto.as men and as citi-
zens, we have been led to approve and adopt the " plan
of organization" proposed by Lovett and Collins Re-
lying on the. soundness of those maxims, " that for a
nation to love liberty it is sufficient that she knows it,
and to be 'free, sufficient that she wills it," we are com-
pelled to admit, that as a nation we have never known
liberty, nor as a people willed our freedom. Believin7
that our social degradation and political bondage are the'
effects of exclusive legislation, engendered and perpe-
trated by ignorance and vice, we hailed with satidoction
and delight a system of organisation, having for its, ob-
ject the removal of those primary causes. and their con-
sequent effects.

Aware, however, that many of our .Chartist brethren
I have, through misconception, drawn . very unwarrantable
conclusions respecting the motives ,end objects of those
'.':ho have joined what they are pleased to term the
" new move," we think it a duty which we owe to them
and to ourselves, frankly and openly toavow our reasons
for the course we have adopted. What we mean to offer
is net intended as a reply to that small section of our
friends who have denounced and cutoff from their Con-
nection all who have openly dared te,:approve of, or ad-
vocate, the " new plan. of organization, '* for we must
confess there is little in that "plan" calculated to attract
the ignorant, or call forth the approbation Of the unthink-
ing. But without pledging ourselves
.for the perfection
of any system devised by human ingenuity, we beg to
submit the following as our reasons for becoming mem-
bers of the " National Association" i2e-Ist. Because it has.
for its object the obtaining of the " People's Charter.: .2d,
Because it proposes to effect this by' raisie the moral
..;
and intellectual standard of the pee.'
"c I.,ordance with the
-te; 3d, Because
its objects and means are in s ':..teac
first Chartist Association e..46,blishea
in Britainer 4th,
Because it proposes 4.4.)-carry out tvhat every Chartist
union has to some
.extent' been endeavouring to do. sth,
Because it IrloYidee for the education of our chit-
•
dren, and -prevents them from being 'subjected to the
present system of moral training bY Which the tiorrup-
tienor society are perpetuated. •'6tli Because it is
p'Jt opposed to, but goes beyond tiny,dhartist union or
association now existing. 7th, Because it proposes
nothing but what is practical if the_ people are willing.
Bth, Because it will not endanger the liberty or re-
quire the sacrifice of any one to foeward it. 9th, Be-
cause it opens a path to our ranks-efor good men of. all
classes. 10th, Pecause it would ;-improve our condi-
tion, even if it failed in procuring for us the Charter.
11th, Because it would qualify us to make the best
use of our rights when we obtain them. 12th, Be-
cayee it would destroy the power of dictators. These
reasons appear to us sufficient toejustify our conduct
for the course we have taken. Having on former oc-
casions pledged ourselves to use every just and lawful
means in our power to obtain the '"People'S Charter,"
we would have deemed it a violation of that pledge,
had we neglected to adopt this much despised " new
plan of organisation." Claiming Mind exercising for
ourselves the right of individual judgment, we assert it
to be the best and most efficient plans:that has yet been
proposed for making the " Charter"' the law of the
land. We ground this assertion on the fact, that there
are thousands, ay, millions of our 'fellow-countrymen
who are yet ignorant of their rightt, or indifferent to
their own interests, and we think it must now be ap-
parent to all intelligent men that nothing less than the
demand of a majority of the people will ever procure
for the whole people the Charter of their liberties.
Hence the necessity for " extending'fand promoting an
enlightened public opinion in favour of the People's
'Charter." To accomplish this, the plan which we have
adopted proposes to employ missionaries; to circulate in-
formation through the press, to form libraries,' to erect
halls for the old and schools for the pung; and, in order
to carry out these objects on a far more extensive scale
than has hitherto been done, it is .Only required that
those who have already professed themselves Chartists,
contribute the suni of one penny per Week.
Fellow.-countrymen !—We ask you, as rational, in-
telligent men, whether these objects " are unworthy
of your consideration ?" whether you think it unne-
cessary "to extend and promote an' enlightened pub-
lic opinion in favour of the People's.` Charter ?" whe-
ther you deem it impracticable to'. employ. mission-
aries, to circulate information, to , forth libraries, to
erect halls and schools ? or whether you consider the
obtaining of your rights not worth one penny per
week ? If so, then you will act. wiSely in condemning
the " new move." But if it should happen to be other.-
yotir calm judgment's should approve of those
objectswill you still refuse to join the " National As-
sociation for promoting the political' and social improye-
meat of the people ?" We think not ; but it is for you.
to decide. It is for you to determine whether, in en-
deavouring "to establish in one general body persons
of all creeds and classes,"l you -would -actually be
making an attempt "to check. the movement. It
is for you to consider whether, by, creating "an en-
lightened public opinion in favour of the People's
Charter,"l( you would in reality, be agitating- for
" Household Suffrage." It is for you to ascertain
how a plan, " concocted" in Warwick gaol by Lovett
and Collins, could have had for its authors "
Roebuck; and O'Connell." It is for • you to de-
cide whether the People's Chattel; be an'" infamous
doCument," because O'Connell was . One of its " ton-
Coctors." It is for you to say whether men who pre-
ferred the dungeon, and refused their liberty rather than
desert your cause, are now worthy Only to be branded
as " traitors and assassins !" It is .fOr you to consider
whether those who tell you to rely op your own exertions
for achieving your liberty, or those who promise to get
the Charter for you, are the most: likely to lead you
astray. And, lastly, it is for you to. avow whether, by
extending knowledge, you would retard the progress of
-Chartism. We call upon you, as honest rational men,
to give these topics your consideration ; and when you
have done so, openly to declare the tekilt.
You may, however, object to the plan we have
adopted, because it does not embrace all the measures
that have been proposed for obtaining the Charter—
because it does not recommend the setting .up of
Chartist candidates at elections, arid exclusive dealing.
True, it does neither of these ; for the very good
reason, that they could not be generally practised. We
know from our own experience, that there are some parts
of the country where it would be utterly impossible to
adopt a system of exclusive dealing,' unless by setting up
co-operative store-houses; and we certainly think that if
men are not able to spare one penny per week, they are
not in a very fit and proper condition to start co-operative
stores. We are also aware that it is 'equally impossible to
find Chartist candidates to stand at every electioti—men do
not see the propriety of incurring expense in such hopeless
contests—therefore it is that these measures have not been
recommended. Instead of that, however, we propose, first,
to make the people Chartists; and to accomplish this
good work, we invite the friends of 'education to aid us
in extending it throughout the empite. We call upon'
the contenders for moral and intellectual tests to assist
us in disseminating inforination. We invite the advo-
cates'of freedom to join us, that we'may become strong
by union, and powerful by knowledge. We solicit the'
assistance of the benevolent and the humane in our at-
tempt to banish wretchedness arid 'misery from our
shores, We call upon every individital who desires the
prosperity of his, country to co-operate with its in our
endeayour to elavate theconaitioreef
Alie-whole people:
Should this appeal to our countrtinen be made in vain,
we will, nevertheless, devote our energies, and Continue
our exertions to the utmost of our feeble abilities, in the
proper katien of the truth-.-relying on its omnipotence for
uprooting,: ignorance, vice, and ini*yi:and establishing
in. their stead knowledge, virtue, and happiness.

DEATH Ok' THE EARL OF FonTEscuE.—
The death of this venerable and respected nobleman
took place on Tuesday, at his seat,. Castle-hill, Devon-
shire. The Noble Earl was in his . eighty-ninth year,
the day of his birth having been the 12th
.of March,
1753. He succeeded to the title of. Baron in his thirty-
second year, and married, in May,> 1782, Hester, third
daughter of the celebrated Eight Hon. George Grenville,
of the Buckinghani family, by whom he has left a large
number of descendants. His eldest sell, the present
Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, is now Earl Fortescue, who
has several children, the eldest of whom, not: Viscount
Ebrington, is candidate on the. Liberal side—that which
the consistent Fortescues have ever supperted—for the
borough of Plymouth. The other Surviving children of

• RAILWAY AND STAGE CARRIAGES,—POST-
HORSE DUTY.—A return has been :made to the House of
Commons of the amount of mileage and composition for duties
On railway and stage carriages, and also the amount of post-
horse duty for Great 'Britain, paid in the years 1838,1439,
and 1840. The amount of composition is trifling, and we
therefore omit it. The following are the principal items for
the thrte years:—Railway mileage, 1838, 36,2511. ; 1839,
70,837/. ; and 1840. 112,218/. Stage carriage mileage, 18"
'494,138/. ; 1839, 497,1931.; nsl 1840, 438,0214 A reduction,
in the mileage duty on stage carriages took place in October,
:1839, which it was estimated would apount to 100.0001. per
annum. Post-horse duty, 1838, 237,452
; 1839, 224,4051. ;
and 1840, 212,6351. It thus appears. that there has been no
falling off in the stage carriage duty, except that caused by the
reduction in 1839, which was diminished only by little more
than half the. amount estimated. Tha falling off in the post-
horse duty has been about 24,800 l

GREAT MEETING AT BRISTOL.
On Tuesday night a very large, itifluential, and unanimous
meeting was held at Bristol, in Ryan's spacious Amphithea•rei
to receive a .rferilitatiorr from -the Matrchester Anti-Corn-law
League, and to consider the best means for removing the odious
bread-lix. 5,000 eletters At least were present.
BRIGUT, Eiaq., Of Rochdale, in an argumentative and
eloquent speech, exposed the fallacies of the monopoly advo-
cates, and observed, that if corn was plentifid it was alWays

RICHA n 1) Coktikt, Esq.,,of Manchester, after pronouncing
this to be be the finest Anti-Corn-law meeting he had seen out
of Liverpool, proceeded to speak upon points in question, and
the applause that waited on him at times was tremendous.
Perhaps one of the ablest portions of his speech was his expo-
sure of three monopoly fallacies, in the first of which he went
on to show the fallacy of the Corn-laws offering a protection to
the agricultural labourers, by ihstancing the rate of wages in
the counties in this neighbourhood, which might average .
Bs. a week.---( A Voice, " No, not more than 65.")
Well, he would give them 2s. more, and say Bs.
a week, whilst there was not a single unskilled
labourer in his (Mr. Cobden's) employ who cid not
receive rts, a week.—(Cheers.) The meeting would remem-
ber the boast of the Duke of Buckingham, that- his labourers
were happy on As. a week. Now, if he were to hold up his fin-
ger, he might have every labourer on the Duke's estates.—
( Cheering, and cries of " So much for Buckingham.") Another
fallacy was, that a repeal of the Corn-laws would force
a lower diet for the peor. Now, in answer to that, he
would show cut of the agriculturists' own mouths, that the
present system produced that effect. At the Board of Guar-
dians of the Grantham union, the Duke of Rutland in the
Chair, in 1839, it was resolved that as the diet of the inde-
pendent labourers was now barley bread, the paupers
in the union. workhouse should be placed upon the same foot •
ing—(Shame, ahame)—and this was in 1e39 when win at
was double what it was in 1835; but there was no outcry
in 1835 for a coarser diet for the labourer and the pauper,
but it was reserved for the period when the landlord was
receiving double the price for his commodity to reduce the
people to barley-bread. How, then, did the high price of
corn benefit the labourer?—(Great cheering.) Another fal-
lacy was that the land would be thrown out of cultivation.
The labourers were, however, sufficiently informed not
to be taken in with that fallacy ; wherever their lecturers
had been, they found the agricultural labourers ready to run
the risk of that,' as they said they would take care the
land should not be thrown of cultivation, if they would
let. them have it. One of the lecturers of the League
having. fallen into conversation with a waggoner, in Dorset-
shire, in order to test the man's opinions, had tried to frighten
him with this bugaboo, but he was soon satisfied on the point,
for (said Mr. Cobden) the waggoner looked up into the lec-
turer's face with a knowing sort of leer, and said, " but th'
be'ant a goen to carry the land away be'um ?" The relation
of this anecdote caused considerable amusement by the happy
manner in which it. was related.

HARMAN VIEGER, Esq. then moved " That the Meeting
Pledges itself to support the return of such Members only to
arliament as will vote for the repeal of the Corn-laws.
(Deafening cheers.)
WILLIAM TOTIIILL, Esq. seconded the resolution, which
was put and carried with a dissentient, and thanks hating been
voted to the Chairman, after cheers for the Qum., three for
Lord John Russell, and Mr. Berkeley, the immense assem-
bly dispersed.

THE ARISTOCRACY AND TIIE

CORN-LAWS.

It was shown by competent persons before a Commit-
tee of the House of Commons, that the average rental of
land throughout Great Britain had been trebled during
the war ; but the whole power of legislation was in dm
hands of the aristocracy, the House of Lords was theirs,
the Members of the House' of Commons were their no-
minees and dependents ; the really independent men who
were Members of it were too few to form a party. The
aristocracy, thus possessed of power over the people, used
it as all such bodies ever have used power—for their own
advantage. In 1814, it was intended to pass a law.
fixing the minimum price of wheat at 90s. the quarter ;
from this, however, they shrunk as from a step which,
notwithstanding ad their power, they dared not to take.
In 1815, they proposed, carried their proposal, and en-
acted, that 80s. the quarter should be the minimum price.
They declared their purpose to be to prevent fluctuations
in the price of corn, which they said would, by becoming
steady, regulate the price of every other articfe of human
food, and keep those prices steady ; they declared, that
keeping the price of wheat at or above SOs would be
much more for the advantage of the people than an
unsteady price,. sometimes high and at other times very
low. They fully believed that the average price never
would be lower than 80s., and consequently, that the
price of the quartern loaf; weighing four pounds eight
ounces, would never,' upon an average, fall below a shil-
ling. The subject was new to the public, and they
made less resistance to the measure than they otherwise
would have done ; but it should never be forgotten that
the approaches to the Houses of Parliament were barrir
caded, and that troops in large numbers were constantly
kept ready in the•vicinity ; that it was truly said at the
time, that •the Act was passed under the swords, and
bayonets of the Guards.

•
ifow well the aristocracy were disposed to do service
to the people by the pretended equality to be produced
and maintained by a monopoly price of food, was clearly
set forth before the Committee of the House of Com-
mons, by 'a Member of that House, Mr. Benett, of Wilt-
shire, who said that a gallon loaf a week for feed, and
three-pence a-week in money, was enough for a la-
bourer, and each member of his family ; and he added,
"It is what we, the Magistrates, give them." The power
to regulate the wages of labourers under the then exist-
ing Poor-laws, being wholly in the Justices of the Peace
in the pauperised counties.
Thus were the farmers' labourers doomed to a bare
subsistence—to a gallon loaf a-week, and three-pence for
clothes ; nothing for rent, nothing for fuel, nothing for
sickness, nothing for caSualties, nothing for any purpose
but bread and water; yet this declaration was cordially
received by the aristocracy, and has been acted upon to
the utmost. of their power ever since.
It is, then, against the pretences and practices, of the
aristocracy, in relation to the food prohibiting laws, that
the active energies of the whole people should now be di-
rected, and there can be no doubt that if they be directed
perseveringly and discreetly, they must succeed, and
this, the master monopoly, that which sustains all other
monopolies—this, the, worst of all monopolies ever eSta-
blished in this country—this monopoly, which aCts as by
far the heaviest tax ever imposed upon the people—this
monstrous monopoly,
.which makes food dear, and tends
to starve great numbers of the people, that
.tbe landed
aristocracy, the rich, may, still be more rich—this terribly,
extensive monopoly, which hinders trade, commerce,
and manufactures, and cripples enterprise—this mono-
poly, which reduces employment for the people, while it
increases the price of their food, compels other nations
to manufacture for themselves, or to go'without the ma-
nufactures of this country, which they are most desirous
to'reeeive. This absthd, mischievous, cruel monopoly,
will be abolished whenever the people shall, by their
conduct, show that they comprehend its iniquity, and
demand that it shall be put an end to without delay.—
Address of the Metropolitan Anti-Corn-law Association.

EXETER IiALL MEETING.
TO THE, EDITOR OF THE 4.5'11,V.

Sin—l attended a meeting # last night at Ek,eter Hall,
of what is called the Protestant Operative Association,
the.ostensiWe 'object of whiCh,. as made known hi one. of
their handbills, z tOZ` protect the throne and the altar,`'
objects- which no honest-Englishman can • ohect• to.
'three-fourths of the meeting was composed of:females.
M`.Neil, of Liverpool, was the principal speaker of the
evening: Nearly the whole of his speech, as well as the
speeches of those who preceded him, consisted of im-
puting baSe and dishonest motives to the members of the
Government. No disinterested person, who attended that
meeting, could fail to be impressed with the conviction
that it was convened to serve a political purpose ; but
M‘Neil and his coadjutors are very much mistaken if
they suppose that the working classes are infhieneed in
their opinions of the Corn-laws by him, and those who
act with him. No one could fail to observe, from what
took place last night, that their No Popery cry is only
hypocrisy—a mere outcry to serve party purposes:.
§everal Reverend Gentlemen seemed to" ay the " flatter
-
sg unction to their souls," that the members of these
ocieties could return Conservative Members for the
metropolitan boroughs. Yet a complaint was made in
their report, of the fewness of their numbers ; not num-
bering six hundred members' in all their Societies put
together. How ridiculous, then, the idea that GOO (sup-
posing that they are all electors, which is very unlikely)
tould turn the scale in favour of those whom they were
old to vote for. I forbear noticing any more of the ob-
Oervations of these Reverend declaimers. and shall con-
clude by saving that if Mr. M'Neil, and those who act
ivith him, think to convert Roman Catholics by reviling
their religion, and imputing base and wicked motives to
their teachers and spiritual guides, they are mistaken—it
is only to be done bycontroversy, carried on by Christian
kindness and love, not by recrimination.
I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
GEORGE BEYERIDGE.

• The Hon. Fox Maule will succeed Mr. Sheil as
Vice-President of the Board of Trade ; the office of
Under Secretary of State for the Home Department will
be filled by Lord Seymour, now Secretly to the Board
of Control.
Several changes will take place at the close of
'the Session. Among others, we believe we may include
Mr. Shell's appointment to the office of Judge Advocate,
as successor to Sir George Grey, who will have an ap-
pointment, with a seat in the Cabinet.
The General Steam Navigation Company's yes-

Taglioni's reception at Milan, which she was to
leave on the 10th, has been most enthusiastic and flatter-
ing. On the 18th of last month she appeared, for the
first time, in the ballet of Gitana; and, to use her own
words in a letter, which, by the kindness of a friend, ,we
have before us—and a most elegant production it is—
" On my appearance on the stage, I was received with an
enthusiasm which it would be impossible to describe.
There was something grave and imposing, I assure you,
in appearing before an audience in this magnificent hall,
crowded from roof to floor. Apres eette premiere recep-
tion,jai dense un pas; during which time I could scarcely
hear the music, it was so overpowered by the plaudits ot'
the audience." The Spanish dance of the Gitana caused
loud plaudits and encores ; and during the representation
of the ballet, she was five-and-twenty times encored,—

she was an American vessel, engaged in fl legal tru,
and in proof thereof produced his papers, which the Eng

permitted by Capulti -Driscoll,- he said, " Never mind,
I will take you for a scoundrelly Yankee negro stealer,
and have you all strung up at the main-yard if you offer
the. least resistance." They then shaped the Course
of the vessel for RiVer Congo, and commenced break-
: ,
mg out tne cargo to get at the rum, and carried on
so outrageously that Captain Driscoll's lady was taken
violently:ill, and for some time her life was despaired e,
the English crew never for a moment ceasing their out-
rageous conduct. They continued at River Congo twelve
days, pillaging the negro canoes that passed, taking from
them their bead:, looking•glasses, paddles, and every
little thing, leaving the poor negroes no alternative but
to swim on shore and abandon their canoes to the tide.

This .conduct they continued for some time, often
taking in their boats some of the American crew, until
at last the negroes becoming exasperated, assembled in
force, and attacking the boats, killed an American sea-
man belonging to the A. E., and wounded several Eng-
lish. They then returned precipitately on board, and
getting the brig under way, set 'sail for Cabinda. They
found her Britannic Majesty's brig-of-war Persian, Lieu-
tenant Commander Symmes, with. the American flag
flying. ,Lieutenant Symmes then came on board with an
additional beat's crew, and commenced breaking out the
cargo, without asking to look at the hr7g's papers, or
paying any attention to Captain D.'s protestations. After
ransacking the cargo four days, bursting open bales and
boxes, and knocking open the kegs of powder, finding
nothing they took what they pleased, each man select-
ing what he most fancied, and then tumbling the cargo
into the hold, took to their boats, leaving the brig at
liberty.

" 15 days," says Captain D., " I had 17 men on
board, eating and drinking the best they could find, and
fur four days more the Commander and nearly nll of his
men pillaging my stores and drinking my liquors, they
being on very short allowance on board their awn. ves-
sel." The English brig kept the American flag flying
all the time, and went off with it flying at their peak.
The ,English officers declared they would seize i,707
AnieriCan vessel they came across, and break up tkcir
trade entirely ; and, from the late accounts from til`e
States, it seems they are determined to put their threat
into execution.

LONDON ELECTRICAL SOCIETY:

TUESDAY, JUNE 15.—Received a letter from Martyn
Roberts, E3q., Mem. Elec. Soc., describing some experi-
ments' which prove that radiation, a property of heat, is
not a property_of electricity. The author conceived it
possible that electricity might radiate between the mole-
cules of non-conchicting bodies as heat does ; but upon
testing. this idea by means of a Barret's electrometer, in
the'neighbourhood of a charged conductor of an electric
-machine, he found " that the electric fluid cannot be trans-
ferred from one body to another by radiation, but that
actual connection must take place." " A translation of a
paper written by M. Jacobi, on some remarks made by
M. Becquerel on the comparative measure of the action
of two voltaic jars, one copper and zinc, and the other
platinum and zinc"—M. Becquerel had attributed the su-
periority of the nitric acid battery to the fact that the
:reaction of the concentrated nitric acid on the acidulated
water gives birth to an electric current much more con-
siderable than that resulting from the solution of sul-
phate of copper on the same acidulated water. M. Ja-
cobi says that though recent experiments have proved
that this reaction does not occur, yet " the result is so in-
considerable that the superiority of the platinum and zinc
must be attributed ton Cause entirely distinct from this."
He here gives some interesting illustrations in proof of
this, together with certain formulae in illustration of the
general principles laid down in his former paper. "A
Descriptive Memoir of an Atmospheric Electrical Ap-
paratus erected over the town of Sandwich, by H. H.
Esq."---This apparatus consists of three hun-
dred and sixty-five yards of copper wire, attached to
the spires of two churches; having midway a support
erected on a tall chimney. A wire proceeds from this
into • the laboratory' of- Mr. Weeks, and, with proper
precaution, the experimenter is enabled to operate upon
the products of the formidable thunder-cloud in perfect
safety. The whOle of the' firrangentents for insulation
and: protection were so distinctly described, that on
reading the paper we could almost fancy ourselves on
the Very spot, where • the whole is. • Appended to the
cenimunication were some very excellent sketches, which
-are' Li the engraver's hank" for' illustrating the first
number of the Society's proceedings. "A letter addressed
to d. Y..Gosaiot,, Esq., • E.R.S., Mem. Elec. -Soc., by H.
Gillen, Esq., describing some experiments in Daguer-
reotyping an Electrotype Plate."—The experiments were
made as' far back as March 10, 1840, and were so far
successful, that on one plate could be traced the hunt
rep'resentation-of a cathedral. It is remarkable that the
figure on this was not visible till it had been exposed to
the sun. After submitting to the Society a register for
the month of May on the electric state of the atmos-
phere, from observations made by Mr. Weeks's appa-
ratus, the Secretary stated, that amongst the papers
which are received, but- must be deferred to the next
Meeting, is one from Andrew Cropc, Esq., Mem, Eke.
Soc.

WHAT MUST THE MONOPOLISTS GAIN TO
GET OFFIpE?—The House of Commons about to be
dissolved contains a majority of fifty in favour of free
trade and cheap
.bread among the Members sent from
Ireland and Scotland. The monopolists do not hope to
alter this state of things as it regards these portions of
'the kingdom ; but, say: they, " We will more than
counteract this majority in.'England, and so place our-
selves in power." How is this to be done ? The mono-
polists have already every vote that they can get from
the counties, and, therefore, their only hope must be
from the towns. How utterly vain such a hope is, the
following figures will derhonstrate :--
Members for Englund and Wales, 500.
The counties and two universities return 163
Cities, tOwns; and boroughs

500
To produce a tye in. England, therefore, the monopolists
must carry two hundred at,d fifty votes. To reach this
number:—

Madrid. Mlle. Taglioni is . shortly expected in Paris,
on het way to the Queen's Theatre in London. Her
visit to Milan seems to have been one long triumph.
Among a hundred notices of the sensation she created
we find the following in the Milan Pirata :—" Maria
Taglioni appeared, and since the time when Milan was
• visited by the incomparable Malibran, we never wit-
nessed a reception equal to it. Maria Taglioni has the
form attributed by the PreCian artists to the Muse ; she
• is lively, easy, elegant/light to an incomprehensible ex-
tent. All is natural; spontaneous, true, inspired. Her
dance is airy, touching, noble, quiet, modest ; the graces
of the master-hand covered with a veil. She is not only
a dancer but a refined artiste, always in harmony with
the music. The Polish dance, with its delicate, gallant,
lively. inspiration—the Spanish, with all its passion, gal-
lantry, coquetry, pride, vanity, and love—all tre ox-.
pressed by Taglioni with matchless perfection. G

of death in cases of that sort, and he waited for the.
decision of their Lordships, and to bow to the' hay
as it should be pronounced by the Legislature. But lice
must say, he thought when the House of Commons
had sanctioned a _ principle az to the • offence tin
general, and wizen • their - Lordships also had sanc-
tioned a principle RA to the offence in general, it
was - a monstrous anomaly that capital punishments
should be kept alive with regard to any particular mode
of the:Offence that might be brought betbre a Judge.--
(Hear, hear.) It was clear that the offence as committed

crth,lty- and profligacy -whit h might not be the case
with regard to offences comhritted by individuals. But.
rape is committed by individuals might be of a fir wone
clunfacter than those committed by several persons.—
(Hear, hear.) lie (Lord Denman) had had experience•
on this subject, and he knew by experience these rapes
were seldom deliberately committed. They were usually

why should one class of cases be selected in order to raise

quis? In a case which had been tried at GloucesterbeforeMr
Baron Bolland, three men were tried for the offence of

rape, and the jury returned a verdict of acquittal uport
the tint indictment, but the Learned Co.-inset put in the
plea of autrtybis acquit, and upon that objection they
were released. There was no doubt that the ac-
quittal in that. 'case was an improper one. Still he
thought that such questions ought not to he put
repeatedly to Jurors.—(Hear, hear.) •No doubt a
genscientions objection had in some cases defeated jus-
tice. He confessed that it appeared to him that it would
be injurious tOinake this single exception. It was one
• to which the Ministers of the law would feel the greatest
objection. He had no wish to press their opinions against
the decision of their Lordships ; •but as he had found that
the opittiOns and representations •of the Judges had had
'goat weight with their Lordships, •he would take.the li-
berty of suggesting that before this clause. was passed,
himself and his. Noble Friend (Lord Abinger) should
have an opportunity of conferring with the Judges,
and ascertaining their opinion. He would have re-
ftained from making those observat:ons, had he not
filt that the general principle being once carried, no small
slid accidental eirctinte:ince, should be suffered to iuter-
fere with it.

The :Marquis of NOB MANBY said that if there WaS

at the same time he was prepared to give a negative to the

a former occasion,
House, stated these difficulties. —(Cries of Hear, hear.)i.
sHe thought that the subject, from
,the difficulties which
urrounded it, required further consideration, and that
heir Lordships should pause before they proceeded to
introduce a change in the present law. He was
not aware that it would be impossible to revert to
the capital punishment iu • aggravated cases, .if it should
ha found free from the objections to which .he. had
alluded, and it the difficulties could be overcome. He
could not agree with the doctrine that if they remitted a
severe punishment. in any case they had not a right, after
having had greater experience, and after having further
considered the subject, to retrace their steps and resort
to the severe punishment again, if it should be found
necessary; and he should think that in snaking altera-
tions' in the criminal law he should incur a great risk if
those alterations were to be considered as frnal,,conclu-
sive, and binding, and could not be altered after further
experience. He thought enough had been said to show
that it would be better to postpone the further conside-
ration of this enactment. .

The Margnis of. NORMANDY had no objection to
adjourn the debbte until to-morrow. It would be ex-
tremely inconvenient to postpone it beyond to'-morrou,
because if there were any amendments made, the Bill
must be returned to the Commons.

The Earl of WICKLOW could see no reason for
postponing the whole subject. They could divide upon
