By a Parliamentary return just printed of the
importations of grain from our North American colonies,
it appears that those of wheat amounted, in 1825, to
90,686 quarters ; in 1826, to 26,821 ; in 1827, to
50,925; in 1828, to 14,415 ; in 1829, to 4,055; in '

An infamous report has been circulated in
Paris doting the past week with respect to a young,
interesting, and illustrious personage, recently on a visit
to this country. It has been traced to the Fauxbourg
St. Germain manufactory of scandals on all personages
connected with the liberal party, and it is indignantly re-
butted.

The Assembly of the States at Cassel, in its
sittings of the Sth, resolved to receive the accusation
against the Minister of the Interior (Hassenpflug), for
various alleged violations of the Constitution. The first
application made to the High Court of Appeal on this
subject was rejected by that Court, for a defect in form.
This defect has now been remedied, which is comprised in
five heads, and is to he referred to the Court of Appeal.
We hear that Lord Grey has submitted his

JOSEPH LANCASTER.—We understand it is
in contemplation to hold a public meeting in this town, to
consider what means can be adopted for promoting the

On Tuesday afternoon the Corporation of
Doncaster proceeded in a body to Wentworth House, and
presented to Earl Fitzwilliam a beautiful gold snuff-box,
value 100 guineas, also the freedom of the borough of
Doncaster, together with an address of condolence
numerously signed by the inhabitants of the town, on the
death of the late Eat 1, his father. The Corporation
returned in the evening, after having been graciously
entertained by the Noble Earl.

The new wing erected at the east side of
Somerset House facing the Thames is nearly finished, and
the south front of the noble edifice appears, according to
the original plan of Sir William Chambers, to great ad-
vantage from the river. The terrace is the most healthy

The west side of Somerset House, parallel with Welling-
ton-street, has still an unsightly appearance.

It appears, by a recent Parliamentary return,
that the public pay 528,387/. per annum for the preren•

contraband traffic has been prevented by a reduction of
duty on several articles, but greater reductions must be
made before this enormous charge can be brought within
reasonable limits.

IMPROVEMENT IN TRAVELLING.--SO
lately as the year 1773 the ordinary journey to Bath oc-
cupied two days; but, by the "flying machines to Lou
. .

_ .
don," the journey was performed in what then appeared
to be an astonishingly short time, between " eleven o'clock
a: night," the hour of setting out, and " the next even-
ing," the time of arrival, or rather less than 24 hours.

The Baptist congregation in Eagle-street,

houses for the poor and aged females of the church and
congregation.

A correspondent mentions, as a subject of
much complaint during the present long vacation, that
frequently for several successive days not a single Judge

could be found i❑ London, either at chambers or other-

wise, and suggests the propriety of such an arrangement

always to be in town, fur the purpose of taking bail and
effecting other important objects.

themselves for the public service, has been pleased to order
that the Hungarian language shall be introduced and

POLISII EXILE.—A correspondent in Stir-
ling requests U 9 to mention, that a Polish exile of re-
spectable connexions, named Onuphry Marjanski, is at
present travelling in that county, endeavouring to support
himself by selling a few quills. He has chosen thus ho-
nestly and honourably to do something for himself, rather
than become a burden upon the funds which are being
collected here for his countrymen in Switzerland. Mar-
janski was present in almost every battle of the late Polish
revolution, was several times wounded, and at last taken
prisoner after the siege of Warsaw ; after suffering for

some time the horrors of damp and starvation, in a dun-
geon under ground, he was removed to the hospital a per-
fect skeleton, from which, in a few days, he contrived to

paring three successive periods of 20 years ea,h—in
I the first period capital punishment existed—in the
second period abolished—and in the third period again

Yesterday was launched from Cit::ltham Dock-
bard a finely built steam-packet, for the I.'9't-officei
named Gulnare, of 100 horse power. This ves•el is the
irst built under a system of day work (recently introduced.
by the Admiralty into the naval yards) during a period of
fifty years. She has been completed, under the direction
if an active and ze lous shipwright officer, in the short
space of sixty-seven common working d iys, on the same
slip from which the Waterloo was launched the 18th
June last, thereby proving that the new mode of working
'he men will answer their Lordships' just expectations,
if directed by active and zealous officers determined to do
their duty.

By the Crown, which has arrived off Liver-
pool, from Bengal, important information is expected by
our commercial firms from Calcutta, but the letters will
not be delivered until the morning. Montreal Papers to
the 4th instant, inclusive, have been received at the North
and South American Coffee-house. We are happy to learn
by them that the crops have turned out much more
abundant than was anticipated, and that the commercial
transactions of this colony had considerably improved. All
fur her anxiety upon the subject of the Upper Canadian
Bank Charters appears to have subsided, it being under-
stood, through an official channel, that Mr. Stanley had
seen through the impolicy of making those alterations in
their charters which his predecessor in office hail con-
templated, and it was fully anticipated that this project,
which appears to have caused much a'arin, will eventuall:e
.
be abandoned. We regret to learn that, in consequence cat
the incorrect conduct of the agent appointed for the pur-
env of supplying the emigrants from the estate of Lord
Egremont with the means which had been furnished for
their settlement, many of these unfortunate people were
left almost in a state of destitution, though it is to lie
hoped that every exertion has been made to get them into
employment.
The Lord Nelson, a merchant vessel, which
left Lisbon on the 18th inst., brings an account of the
capture of the Lord of the Isles steam-ve..sel on the
night of the I I th, by a gun-brig with forty men on board,
belonging to the Queen. The steam-vessel was chartered
from this country for the service of Miguel, and carried
out from 25 to 30 French officers, who are presumed,
for the account is silent respecting them, to have been
landed at San Martinho, in which harbour the capture
was effected, the vessel having subsequently been carried
into the Tagus as a lawful prizes. The captain of the
Lord of the Isles is said to have memorialized Lord
William Russell on the subject of the capture, claiming
the vessel as of English ownership, but he had not
received any attention. The vessel will be an acquisition
of some value for the service of the Queen, but seems to
have had no warlike stores, or any articles of value on
board. In the same letter which furnishes this intelli-
gence, it is stated that another attack was made on Li•bon
on the 14th, in which the Miguelites were repulsed with
time loss of 2,000 men ; but it has not obtained much
credit, and, at all events, requires confirmation. No
other letters have been received by the Lord Nelson, but
there is nothing remarkable in this, as few persons write
by the merchantmen, since the employment of steam-
packets on the Lisbon station.
THE SLAVE INSURRECTIONIN CUBA.—We
have received additional information with regard to this
rebellion. It appears that 500 or 600 slaves had been
smuggled in Africa, and landed at a place about 20 miles
west of Havannab. Some communication took place be-
tween them and the slaves on the neighbouring plantations,
in which the former were given to understand that a
grievous mortality was prevailing among the blacks on the
island (cholera), and that it was occasioned by poison
administered by the whites. This drove the new-comers
to desperation, and thinking that they might as well die in
one way as another, they rose upon their keepers and
murdered them. On this intelligence being spread, a
military captain, with two other persons, proceeded to the
landing, in order to do away the impression prevailing
among the insurgents, and bring them back to subordina-
tion. These men were also killed. A troop of cavalry,
consisting of about 30 men, was then sent against the
insurgents, who by this time had been joined by some of
the slaves on the neighbouring plantations, and a battle
ensued, in which a number of the blacks were killed, and
also two officers and several privates of the troops. The
remainder, finding their force insufficient to suppress the
insurrection, retreated. A larger body was then si nt,
who poured a terrible fire upon the insurgents, which
killed from 400 to 500. The whole loss of the whites is
stated at 30 or 40. At the date of the last accounts the
rebellion was considered at an end. The negroes, we
understand, had no weapons but clubs and stones.--New
York Paper.
OPORTO, SEPT. 9. A decree has been
published, ordering every person, not military, taken in
arm., to be tried by courtmartial, and, if guilty, to be at
once executed ; but such is the vindictive and rancorous
feeling existing in the Portuguese part of Don Pedro's
army against the friars and guerillas, that scarcely an
instance has occurred of any prisoner of this class having
been brought in alive. Amongst the Scotch there appears
to be a more humane feeling, in a great measure to be
attributed to this little band being composed of men who
have a character to lose, and who are great sticklers for
their nation's pride; and also to the very good discipline
their brave coinmander, Colonel Shaw, keeps them in.
I wish a few more could be sent out, for these appear
not to have been picked up in high roads and by-ways,
but are a very superior class of men, and if joined by
some of their countrymen, would no doubt prevent the
horrid cruelties exercised by both parties, though, inJus-
tice, I must say the conduct of the Miguelites bas been
such as in some measure to justify retaliation. One of
the most respectable and influential of the Portuguese
noblemen sent lately for Colonel Shaw, and stated to him
that he was so much pleased with the bravery and quiet
behaviour of his Scotchmen, that having large pos-
sessions at Santarem, near Lisbon, lie would, in the
event of his regaining them from Miguel, be much obliged
to him to select those of the best character, to whom he
would give land, and offer inducements to settle upon
his estate. This circumstance has had a very beneficial
effect upon the men, and an arrangement has been made
to send out immediately by steam SOO more Scotch to
Portugal.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF CASH, JEWEL-
' LIMY, &C. &c.—During the night of Sunday last, the
house of Mr. Saul Levy, a watchmaker, silversmith, and
jeweller, No. 18, Hardwiek-place, Commercial-road East,
was burglariously entered, and robbed of cash and pro-
perty amounting to from 400/. to 500/. It appears from
Ithe statement of Mr. Levy, that he and his family, con-
sisting of his wife, a young lady who is staying with them,
and a servant, retired to bed about half-past eleven o'clock,
an] on coming down stairs yesterday morning, between
seven and eight, he discovered that the house had been en-
tered during the night by thieves, who had forced a pannel
out of a door, which leads from a balcony into the back
parlour, and from thence into the shop, and had carried
away a vast quantity of his stock and property. Among
the property stolen were-3 five•pouni notes of the Bank
of England, 37 sovereigns and half-sovereigns, S gold
watches, 25 silver watches, 16 table-spoons, IS tea -

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

We have had the courage to dive pretty deeply
into the immense mass of undigested evidence
on which floats the report of the agricultural
committee (published in our paper of Saturday),
with the hope of being able to bring to the
surface something calculated to gratify the cu-
riosity, to extend the knowledge, or to correct
the prejudices, of the public; but we candidly
own that we have met with little or no success.
It is seldom that we have seen so bulky a vo-
lume—the work of a public body—containing
to little matter really worthy of attention, either
from its novelty or its mode of statement ; and
we are almost tempted to represent it as an'apt
illustration of the logical maxim of the school-
men, that " the greater the extension, the less
the comprehension." Even the report itself
(drawn up possibly with some labour by 'the
chairman), though it might have been expected
to imbody the essence of the depositions taken
by the committee, and to have pointed out im-
provements conformable to the new information
obtained in the progress of the inquiry, possesses
scarcely any claims to public confidence or
gratitude. It is remarkable for its negative
rather than for its positive qualities—for its cau-
tious prudence, its common sense views, and its
common place remarks, than for any striking ob-
servation, or any useful suggestion. We may,
however, record, in the outset, our satisfaction
that little as it has done, or is calculated to do,
in the way of positive improvement, it has had
a tendency to allay the fermentation in which
the committee originated, and has for ever anni-
hilated those erroneous views and delusive hopes
connected with the currency with which the in-
quiry was undertaken. It will be remembered
that the investigation was provoked by Mr. M.
Attwocd, for the purpose of obtaining evidence
to establish the necessity of a change in our sys-
tem of currency or standard of value—questions
" of corn and currency" being supposed as in-
separable in his mind as the alliteration in their
names. The Hon. Gentleman, in introducing
his motion for an inquiry into the effects of the
Bill of 1819, with the view of counteracting
them, dwelt largely and pathetically on the dis-
tressed state of the agricultural interest, arising,
as he alleged, from a diminished circulation,
with the hope at once of catching the country
gentleman and the country banker, and of in-
ducing them both to join him and his friends in
the " strong pull" for the restoration of the 1/.
rote, and the renewal of the Bank restriction.
The farmers, lie said, were generally ruined ;
their land, from the diminution of their means,
was not cultivated to its former extent. The)
were paying their rent, not out of their pro-
fits, but out of their capital. Their bur-
dens were heavier than they could bear ;
their incumbrances were daily increasing ; their
produce did not yield a remunerating price
for the labour expended on their farms, and
unless some speedy remedy were adopted, there
would soon be neither bread-corn nor " cakes
and ale" in all " merry England." The cause
of all this calamity was alleged to be the con-
traction of our currency, and the cure was to be
found in a plentiful re-issue of Bank paper.
High prices must be restored by altering our
standard of value,—wheat must mount up to
100 s. a quarter,—the land must be manured
with small notes,—and if we were not then
blessed with a restoration of " the golden age"
we should have something infinitely better—the
millennium of unlimited Bank credit. It was
in vain to argue, as we did, that if our distress
arose (as was partly admitted) from the changes
in our currency within the last ten or twelve
years, we should now be only prolonging the
evil by repeating the change,—that between 1819
and 1833 the transactions and obligations of the
country had adjusted themselves to the restored
metallic standard, and would be again calami-
tously deranged by such an issue of paper as
would alter the value of our money,—that where
neither debtor nor creditor existed, an increase
of the circulating medium could not by possi-
bility benefit or injure anybody, as it would
merely multiply the number of metallic pieces
or bits of paper which were to be exchanged
against the same unaltered quantity of commo-
dities ; and that where the relation of
debtor and creditor existed, the increase of
currency (a convertible term for a depre-
ciation of value) would effect a positive
robbery of the latter for the benefit of the
former. The currencymongers were, however, de-
termined to pay their debts, both public and
private, by a depreciated currency, and demanded
a committee to inquire into the expediency of
the plunder. The committee has answered, as
it was bound in duty to do, in the following
words, which contain merely a summary of our
arguments at the time of the original discussion:
—"Rents are now rapidly approximating to the
level of these prices, and whatever embariass-
ments may have been produced by former
changes, and however grievous the weight of
existing burdens, fresh experiments in the value
of money, which must affect the price of agri-
cultural produce, which might shake public con-
fidence, and which must lead to the de-
rangement of all settled contracts, ought after
past experience to be viewed by the Legislature
with peculiar caution." Again they say, "Fluc-
tuations of price, whether they arise from alte-
rations in the value of money or from changes
of the corn laws, cannot fail to produce evils in
every branch of rural economy, which, inde-
pendently of these disturbing causes, must ever
remain exposed to grievous vicissitudes from the
uncertainty of seasons. These artificial fluctua-
tions, however, only aggravate the natural evil ;
they render the income of the landlord preca-
rious, and the fixed rent of the farmer a hazardous
speculation, and the wages of the labourer an
uncertain remuneration:" The remarks in
the report may be properly classified under
three heads. They relate to the reality
and the amount of the alleged distress, its under-
stood causes, and its probable remedy. Under
none of these divisions of the subject, however,
do we find anything new or profound. The
difficulties and embarrassments of the occupiers
of land are admitted nearly to the full extent of
their own representations to Parliament. Their
farms are said not to yield an amount of produce
which, at present prices, and with present bur-
dens, can enable them to repay themselves for
the labour and capital employed in their cultiva-
tion. They are consequently said to have been
paying their rent to their landlords out of their
capital, or, in other words, to have been giving
away to the proprietor of the soil as rent, part
of that stock, without the possession and em-
ployment of which no produce can be raised,
and consequently no rent can be. paid. And
this process is said to have been going ot.i for tashe
last 12 years, as we find in the following p
sage :—" On looking back," says the committee,
" at the report of the committee in 1821, to whom
the petitions complaining of the depressed state
