At a dinner at the Albion to Captain Hindinanh,
R. N., Governor of the New Colony of South Australia,
Colonel Torrens was in the Chair, supported on his right by
Captain ilindmarsh, on his left by Sir Francis Lee. Amongst
the company, which was very select, we observed Messrs. S.
Lefevre, Butt, and Hutt, M. P., J. Wright, G. T. Angers,
Palmer, jun., J. Freshfield, Sir Francis Lee, G. C. H.,
C. Mangles, Captain Barton, Captain Corinton, E. Bor-
radaile, &c.

RUSSIAN JEA LOUSy.—On Lord Ponsonby's arri-
rival at Constantinople in the Actceon, he was saluted by the
Russian Admiral, then at anchor, with 17 guns, which the
Actmon unfortunately answered with two less. In about an
hour afterwards the Flag Lieutenant, who could speak Eng-
lish, was sent on board the Acton to ascertain the cause of
this grievous offence. The unconscious omission was imme-
diately acknowledged, the two guns wanting discharged, and
the Russian Lieutenant rowed back, greatly gratified at the
success of bis important mission.

LORD LYNDHURST AND THE BLACK BOOK.—
We had hoped by timely concession on the part of the Tory
aristocraay that ere this the leaves would have been all torn
out of "the accursed Black Book," and that this honest re-
cord of " Tory misrule" would have been forgotten in the
general joy at the removal of the glaring anomalies which it so
fearlessly exposes ; but Lord Lyndhurst and others who
" fare sumptuously every day" on the toil of millions, have
willed it otherwise; hence a re-issue of this extraordinary
work, with an Appendix comprising a full expose of existing
abuses in the English and Irish churches, corporations, the
army and navy, public offices, &c. The Appendix, which
may be had separately, contains a chapter on the " Cates.
trophe of the House of Lords," extremely appropriate to the
existing crisis. But the entire work is so replete with infor-
mation on every political topic, that no one who is desirous to
see his countrymen in full possession of their just rights and
privileges ought to be without a copy.
The Wexford Independent gives a long account of
Mr. T. Moore's reception at Bannow, last week, on his visit
to Mr. Boyse. He was met by a large assemblage of persons,
who insisted on his getting from his own carriage into an open
phaeton, decorated with laurels and flowers, and nine young
women, habited as the Muses, crowned the Irish bard with a
wreath of laurels and myrtles. The triumphal car was then
drawn by the people to its place of destination, where Mr.
Moore delivered an eloquent address.
The Paris Figaro has ceased to appear, prevented
from doing so, it is said, by the new law against the Press.
On Tuesday morning, between 10 and 11 o'clock,
a most dreadful accident occurred to a youth of 9 years of
age, the eldest son of Mr. Edward L. Swynton, of Pratt-
street, Camden-town. It appears that the boy had been in
the habit of amusing himself- with a swing which had been
suspended from some high trees in the garden, and from the
length of time it had remained exposed to the weather, the
rope had become rotten, and consequently unsafe. At the
time above stated, the poor little fellow began to swing, and
had not been on the swing, which was unusually high, above
ten minutes when the rope snapped, and the boy was thrown
with considerable violence against an iron rake which hap-
pened to be lying in the garden, and his head was cut open
in so frightful a manner as to lay his skull bare. The poor
little fellow was taken up in an insensible state, and a sur-
geon, wit° was immediately sent for, pronounced his wound to
be extremely dangerous, and he at present lies in a very pre-
med= state.

LONDON,
FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 11, 1835.

Mr. G. F. YOUNG, the Hon. Member who had so
much difficulty, not long ago, in persuading Lord J.
RUSSELL that he was one .of the supporters of the
Melbourne Administration, yesterday presented to
the House of Commons a petition from the Chair-
man of the Shipowners' Society, praying that the
House would not sanction the recommendations of
the Committee on the Timber Duties. In supporting
this prayer, the Hon. Member for Tynemouth stated
that the. shipping trade was still in as bad a state
as ever, and that, were the recommendations alluded
to adopted, it would suffer still more. He further in-
formed the House, that those who accused Mr. Ro-
BINSON (the Member for Worcester), with whom he
entirely agreed, of ignorance on this point, only
showed that they were themselves in utter darkness.
There is one quality, and a most valuable. one it is,
in which the Shipowners as a body excel all other men
—it is pp-severance. Their perseverance is abso-
lutely indefatigable. The parable of the importunate
widow has not been lost upon them ; for they may truly
be said to be instant in season and out of season in
urging their claims. The consequence of this unre-
mitted pushing of their own interest has been, that
they have, like other monopolists, been allowed
to retain privileges at variance with the interest of the
public. It may be a very desirable thing for a ship-
owner to have his ships fully employed in the Canadian
trade, but he ought to have some regard to the addi-
tional expence which he thus entails upon other classes
the community. He complains that his own expellees
are enhanced by the taxes on corn, and other articles of
provision, but he'does not seem to think that there is
any harm in taxing the consumers of timber for his
peculiar benefit.
It is very likely that if the duty on timber from the
north of Europe were taken off or reduced, fewer ships
would be sent to Canada. Some might even be
thrown out of employment for a time ; but. what then?
Is this so great a calamity, that to prevent it the
whole community must suffer ? For timber may be
considered a❑ article of universal consumption, enter-
ing as it does so largely into the various departments
of the domestic aits-L-to 'say nothing of shipbuilding
itself.

Mr. YOUNG is reported to have said, that Canadian
timber is as good as that brought from the Baltic. If
the report be correct, he is the first, we believe, who
has made this discovery. At all events, it is a fact—
and a most remarkable one—that many cargoes of
Baltic timber have been carried to Canada, and thence
back to this country, and have, after this rather round-
about voyage, realized a good profit to .the importers.
If this does not prove the superiority of Baltic timber
over Canadian, it at least shows the enormity of the
present duties.

The Imperial and Royal Sovereigns now assembled
at Toplitz, to confer together on the present state and
prospects of Western Europe, are adopting a course of
proceeding calculated to cause considerable uneasiness
to the Governments of England, France, Spain, and
Portugal. The great evil consists, not in what these
Monarchs may really propose to do—in what schemes
they may unite for checking the progress of liberal
opinions in their respective territories—into what alli-
ances they may form themselves fox the reciprocal ad-
vancement of conquest and sovereignty :—in all these,
we repeat, consists not the great evil of their proceed-
ings ; but it consists in the possible extent to which,
through their organ, the German Press, they may succeed
in veiling their real designs from the people of England
and France. We must not suffer ourselves to be deceived.
We well know, that at the very instant in which these
Monarchs are si d discussing the means by which
the Ottoman Empire may be overthrown, Don Mi-
GUEL raised to the throne of Portugal, and Don
CARLOS to the regal government of Spain—how
France may be robbed of her charter, and England
stripped of her colonial possessions in the East—cer-
tain writers in this country, who never appear happy
but when lauding the policy of the Czar of Mus-
covy, will gravely assure us that their Imperial and
Royal Majesties are more solicitous for the preserva-
tion of our independence than we are ourselves, and
that all they aim at is to confer upon us a portion of
those superabundant blessings, which are too nume-
rous to be wholly enjoyed by their own sub-
jects. The Conferences of the Northern Sovereigns
will, doubtless, prove a very harmless affair, as far
as we are concerned, provided we keep a vigilant
eye upon them, and take especial care not to put any
trust in any statement put forth by the hireling organs
of the Holy Alliance. But the case might be very
different provided we were to give ourselves up to a
false security, neglecting altogether the adoption of
such precautions as we know must have the effect of
rendering any scheme against the liberties of Western
Europe, or any furtively proposed plan for extending
the power of Russia in the East, utterly abortive. We,
in general, are in the habit of regarding with too much

727,7671 .61%.9 ui Trotßettlaplotttaer; or CVOTriffir
trigue. What we would recommend is that straight-
forward manly course, which, while it openly defies the
infliction of wrong upon ourselves, takes all proper cau-
tion to avert it by dignified remonstrance and the dis-
play of such powers of punishment as may have the
effect of deterring others from acts of wanton aggres-
sion. If battles can be prevented by -the waving of
the British flag, we are for having it unfurled. If by
timely menaces we can deter other Powers from the
violation of treaties which we are bound to maintain
sacred, better menace, at the hazard of giving offence or
alarming jealousy, than passively await the necessity of
employing British cannon in the vindication of our
rights.

It may be assumed as a political axiom, that despots
never employ the pen to defend their Governments
without secretly designing the commission of some un-
paralleled enormity. Some deed of darkness is to be
perpetrated, when we find Russia making use of the
Journal de Frankfort to institute comparisons be-
tween the relative degrees of liberty enjoyed under the
free and despotic Governments of Europe. In an-
other column, will be found an article from that jour-
nal, the object of which is to defend the conduct of
Russia with respect to Turkey, and as a matter of
course, to humbug the English and ..French Govern-
ments into a belief that Russia, so far from de-
signing the seizure of Constantinople, actually la-
bours, with might and main, to protect the inviola-
bility of the Ottoman empire. This precious docu-
ment, which, before its appearance in the columns of
the Journal de Frankfort, was carefully conned over
by METTERNICH, NESSELRODE, and ORLOFF, may
be regarded as an official missive put forth as a, feeler
by the Imperial and Regal conclave. Were it to have
the effect of imposing upon the credulity of the people
of England and France, six months would not elapse
before NICHOLAS would have stripped the PORTE of
the nominal, as he has already done of the real, sove-
reignty of Wallachia and Moldavia. This would be
the first step ; the next would be the possession of the
Dardanelles as a guarantee for the tribute and the
DardanelleS once in his possession, the seizure of Con-
stantinople would instantly follow.
The arguments, or rather assertions of the German
scribe on this subject, are characteristic of Russian.
policy. Here they are :
" And Constantinople, it will be said—will Russia be con-
tent not to seize it? It will not seize it—it cannot desire it ;
because it desires to preserve entire all the elements of its
strength ; and, to be strong, it feels the necessity of remain-
ing united. Now the history of all ages teaches it, that the
two extremities of Europe—the south and the north, the west
and the east—cannot be united under the same crown, and that
the masters of Byzantium ceased to be the masters of Rome.
This explains why a wise and truly national policy will never
advise the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh to dream, as we are
often told, of, the conquest of Constantinople. The true in-
terest of Russia is therefore the best security to Europe for
the disinterestedness of its policy. This is one of those
truths that has been too long disregarded. and which the ex-
perience of the last five years ought to have made evident to
all the world. Did you cast your eyes on the map of Turkey
about the month of August, 1829? Did you remark now far
the Russians had carried their standards ? They were at Erze-
roum—they were at Eros—they were at Iniada—they were at
Midia —at Adrianople—they were at Gule-Bourgas—at Kirk-
Klissi—they were within two days' march of the gates of
the capital of the Ottoman empire. Who, then, fixed bounds
to their conquests? Turkey? It was without arms. The
Ambassadors of England and France? Have you read the
letter which Count Guelliminot and Sir R. Gordon addressed,
at that time, to the Commander-in- Chief of the Russian
army ? Did they threaten him with the intervention of the
maritime Powers if he prosecuted his victorious march ? No I
They merely declared to him that if the Imperial armies march
to Constantinople, the Sublime Porte would cease to exist.
At these memorable words the Russian army stopped. Why?
Because the Emperor Nicholas had said at the very beginning
of the war that he desired a just and honourable peace, but -did
not desire that it should be destructive to the Ottoman empire.
What happened then ? On the 9th September (N. S.) the
Ambassadors bad declared that if the Russian army advanced
another step, the Porte would cease to exist. On the 15th
September the Peace of Adrianople was signed."
A more notorious falsification of facts, now matters
of history, than is contained in the above extract, we
never met with. The march of the Russian army
was stopped in 1829 by the physical impossibility
of proceeding a step further without being cut to
pieces ! The Emperor' NICHOLAS stopped by a dread
of extinguishing the nationality of Turkey ? No, no :
the bare suppositiod is too absurd to be listened to with
patience by those who have marked the bloody path
in which he has progressed. NICHOLAS must have
known the extent of the evil which his presence in
Constantinople would occasion better than the Ambas-
sadors of England and France. He knew of course
what he proposed doing in that capital—a knowledge of
which two strangers to his counsels could only form a
very vague, and altogether very imperfect idea. We repeat

the Russian army halted when it found itself on the eve of
annihilation ; and by one of those fortunate manoeuvres
of which skilful Generals only can avail themselves,
the EMPEROR represented his involuntary halt as a
a last attempt to come to an amicable accommodation

with the Porte. We will not charge any person with
the disgraceful proceedings which followed. How the
English and French Ambassadors could be so fooled
by an army on the brink of destruction, as to treat with

it on the terms which they did—terms as disgraceful to
the Porte as they were uncalled for by the real state of
the SULTAN'S affairs, we cannot take upon ourselves
to determine. NICHOLAS knew he could neither reach

Constantinople, nor effect a retreat, without the loss of
his army, and all the advantages he had gained from
the commencement of the war. He saved himself by
a stratagem ; and now he boasts of his clemency
towards the capital of Turkey !

As to the interests of Russia being opposed to the
possession of Constantinople, the world knows that it

is the sheerest nonsense ever uttered. The possession
of the Dardanelles would render Russia impregnable.
Her interests, indeed ! What territory does she pos-
sess, which she has not told Europe it was not her
interest to keep separate from her ? Did she not de-

Clare, before ALEXANDER seized upon Finland, that

it was her interest that the Finlanders should remain
a separate people ? Did she not pledge herself in the
face of Europe, immediately before the seizure of

Courland, that her only object was to maintain the

distinct nationality of a people who ought not to be
included among the subjects of Poland ? When

NICHOLAS was solemnly invested with the regal dig-
nity of the kingdom of Poland, did he not solemnly

swear to preserve its constitution, its liberties, and its

ancient forms of Government ? In a word, of what

aggression has Russia ever been guilty, which has

... .
not been preceded by declarations of love and tender-

ness, and good faith towards the victims of her cruel

duplicity ?
In the article copied from the Journal de Frank-
fort, we arc accused of ignorance of the Treaties be-
tween Russia and the Porte. Three weeks have not

elapsed since we published a copy of the Treaty of
Unkiar Skelessi, with the secret article annexed at the
instigation of the CZAR. We this day publish a copy
of the Treaty of St. Petersburgh, concluded January
1834. Our readers need only cast their eyes over this
Treaty to be convinced of the state of degradation
into which Russia has contrived, by schemes and arti-

fices, to reduce the PoRTE. The pecuniary embarras-
mentsof the SULTAN compel him, in order to obtain

a partial relief from the weight of a most unjust tribute,
to give up the nominal, as he has already the real, Go-
vernment of the provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia,
to approve of whatever Constitution for these States
