SLAVE- COMPENSATION.

Wednesday Evening.
Some of the claimants bn the slave compensation
who feel aggrieved on account of the dilatory manner in.
which their claims are- met, .have addressed letters on the
subject, it is said, not only to the Commissioners, but also
to Mr. Spring Rice, in strong terms of remonstrance. The
men of business in the City who es :gents, , holding numer-
ous powers of attorney, take the lc:aeon:this occasion, are
too conversant with the arrangements Islaiir passing under
their obserVation, by which affairs of a much more complex
nature are cnnclucteal,. not to. feel. highly indignant at the
different system which they 'perceive, to be in operation at
the SlaVe -Cbmpensatien4.‘lFTC-67—One of the 'arguments
against the-existing slow process is of a nature, we should
think peculiarly calculated to male an impiesSion-tipOn Mr.
'Spring Rice, because it goes to prove that, independently Of
the inconvenience to.4he claimants, the country will incur a
very heavy charge for interest., by the delay in making the
payments to the parties entitled to the anoney. He has
already brought himself into a situation of unexampled
difficulty by his manner of making the loan, which has
subjected the country to the payment oF interest on the
large proportion of it not yet wanted, and ,as the claimants
are also 'entitled to interest for every day that the adjudica-
tion of their claims is deferred, here is so mach additional
payment to make beyond the capital of.his loan. The end-
less employment for the clerks which must arise from cal-
culating so many complicated interest accounts is another
consequence of the delay.
These are the inconveniences to the Government, but

those to .which the claimants are exposed furnish still more
Cogent reasons for despatch, and a better arranged system
of payment. Some of the agents; for example, hold per-
haps 100 or 200 claims, variously numbered, and there,
fore coming forward so irregularly for adjudication, upotr
the present plan, that as many attendances as they hold
powers of attorney may be required before they have
gone through their lists. They may also, by the delay,
and the mortality which is .common in a West Indian
climate, suddenly find their powers annulled by the death
of the parties who issued them. No prudent house can
in such case make advances on the credit of the claims in-
trusted to them.
It should be observed that the undisputed claims, to
which alone the remonstrances refer, are extracted from the
local records and returns of the islands from which they
come ; they exhibit the exact amount payable to each
claimant, and a copy of such record is transmitted to the
Commissioners. - Being unopposed, and the parties iden-
tified, there would appear to be little difference between
the situation of the claimant and that of the stockholder
who has an entry in the Bank books. The London bankers
hold numerous powers of attorney for parties in the coun-
try, as the merchants do for claimants on the slave com-
pensation fund, and instances have been known of one
banker receiving dividends in one day under 1,000 powers
of attorney or more, without the least hurry or confusion.
On a scale not so- great as -this, but still very important,
and despatched with admirable order and expedition, are
the payments of dividends by the East India Company,the
insurance-offices, and those houses who undertake the ma-
nagement of foreign loans, where models could be found
for the transactions with the claimants on the Slave Com-
pensation Fund.
The speedy despatch of the unopposed claims would
leave the Commissioners at liberty to attend to those which
are litigated and opposed, in regard to which they may feel
perfectly secure of employment for many years, to. come,
however favourable-the circumstances under which they arc
investigated.—Tintes.

Of all the Associations th it were ever formed in
Ireland, numerous as they have been, assuming many
shapes, and bearing various names, there never was one 60
well calculated to insure peace and prosperity to the coun-
try as that now in course of formation, under the title. of
-e-
-" The Refinln Association c f Ireland." It is intended that
the operations of this Society shall be confined solely to tine
Registries, by which, without the excitement of continued
agitation, means, will be given not only for the expression of
public opinion, but for securicg to that opinion its due in-
fluence in the United Legislature of the Empire. It has -
long been desirable to establish a union between the two sec-
tions of the Reformers of Ireland—to combine the less ac-
tive men of property, intelligence, high rank and influence,
with those whose keener-perception of excited to more
energetic means of seeking redress. The. Reform Associa-
tion promises this happy combination ; it already embraces
many names of the most extensive landed gentry, whose stake
in the country is too great to admit a doubt of their since-
rity and purity of motive, in any steps which they may take
to secure a redress of grievances. The effects of this
organization will not display themselves in violent harangues,
but in concentrating, through the medium of the elective
franchise, such an expression of public feeling in the House
of Commons as must overpower the faction which has so
long, and too successfully, arrayed itself against the Re-
forms most imperatively demanded by the exigencies of the
country. The immediate effect of this Association will be
to establish a mutpl confidence between the people and
their landlords, in itself a certain meart of restoring tran-
quillity. The factionists are already appalled at the powers
about to be arrayed
.against them. A new and better
prospect is now .opened to Ireland, and most cordially do
we congratulate her friends on the co-operation of the libe-
ral classes, for purposes of general utility, by means that
the most ardent stickler for privilege must admit to be most
legitimate and constitutional. We trust in future to see
Reformers of every degree present such a serried phalanx
to their enemies in every part Of the kingdom, as must prove
impregnable to the assaults, which, from want of co-opera-
tion and activity, have too often prevailed over the popular
cause, of which the recent elections are lamentable instances.

BETTS'S PATENT FRENCH DISTILLED BRANDY.
The following Extracts from some of the high Tese
timonials of the most eminent Chemists, whose judgment has not
in a single' instance been called in question, will ever distinguish
this valuable article from all others specially • attempted to he
foisted upon consumers; since, in the numerous cases where parties
have submitted their productions to the usual Chemical tests, the
reports have invariably been such as they have • net dared to make
public.
These evidences in favour of the unrivalled quality_of the Patent
Brandy, further sanctioned by the personal adoption and strong re-
commendation of the leading members of the Medical profession,
(falsely asserted to have been also given in favour of other produc-
tions) have obtained for it the decided support of many thousand
families in the metropolis and its vicinity ; and of corresponding
numbers extending to the most remote patts of the kingdom.
EXTRACTS FROM TESTIMONIALS.

" Your Brandy is free from uncombined acid and astringent
matter, which exists more or less in most of the Brandies imported
from France.

" JOHN THOMAS COOPEII,
" To Mr. Betts." " Lecturer on Chemistry."
I am bound to say, and do assert it with confidence, that fir
purity of spirit, this cannot be surpassed; and that your Patent
Brandy is also quite free from those acids which, though minute in
quantity, always contaminate the Torei,,,,,n Spirit.

" J. T. Betts, Esq." " Chemist to his MNestv."
