ceived.

The Savings Banks Bill passed through Commit-
tee, and the report was ordered to be brought up on
Monday
On the order of the day being read for the third
Frcading of the Poor-law Amendment Bill, Colonel
SIBTIIORP gave notice that on Monday he would

each, and the salaries of the Assistant-Commissioners
be 4001. each. Some speeches were made on the
motion for the third reading of the Bill, but they re-
quire no particular notice. The Bill was read a third
time and passed.
The Turnpike Trust Bill, the Joint-Stock Banks
Regulation Bill, and some other Bills of less impor •
tance, were read a third time and passed.
The Merchant Seamen's Bill is to be committed on
Monday.

The House adjourned at; a Quarter-past Nine

In this fortunate, but limited class of questions, we
may assign a prominent position to that of the aboli-
tion of the slave trade. It will be remembered, no
doubt to the latest posterity, that the voice of party
hostility was hushed—that the enmities of political
antagonism were suspended—when a Liberal Go-
vernment appealed to the British public for the most
enormous money contribution ever tendered at one
time, and by one act, as a voluntary oblation on
the, altar of human freedom. Yet even that costly
offering of 20,000,0001., so confidently proposed to
the English Legislature, and so promptly sanc-
tioned—and so freely and cordially conceded by the
English people in 1833 was little more than
we had already sacrificed in the same righteous
cause, from the period of the first generous labours of
GRANVILLE SHARPE, and CLARKSON, and WILBER-.
FORCE, to the commencement of the reign of his late
Majesty King WILLIAM IV. The expenses of the
naval force we maintained and employed, and the
machinery we had to provide and set in motion for
carrying out the stipulations of our treaties with va-
rious Powers on this subject; the cost of our staff
upon the mixed commissions established in confor-
mity with those treaties ; the cost of our Sierra
Leone establishment, &c. &c., have amounted to an
aggregate scarcely conceivable by those who have not
looked into the history of these proceedings ;—more
especially from the date of the declaration of the Al-
lied Powers against the slave trade, at Vienna, in
February, 1815; and in reference to our several con-
ventions with Spain, in 1817 ; with the Netherlands
in 1819 ; with Brazil, in 1828, &c. &c.
We have perused, with less surprise than pleasure,
the interesting statement submitted to the House of
Lords on Thursday evening last, by the Earl of
ABERDEEN, and the congratulations tendered to him
by Noble Peers from all sides of the House, relative
to the revised code of instructions which the Foreign
Secretary has caused to be prepared for the instruc-
tion of naval officers commanding her MAJESTY'S
cruisers and vessels of war employed in the suppres-
sion of the slave-trade. Lord ABERDEEN, after com-
menting on the insufficiency of the existing "in-
structions" to officers on this arduous service—(it
having been customary to supply them merely with
literal copies of the various, original, and supplemen-
tary treaties relating to slave-trading, from time
to time contracted between this country and other
Powers, leaving to these commanders the responsible
and difficult task of forming their unaided judg-
ment on the construction of the text in many
difficult emergencies which, though varying by appa-
rently very slight differences of circumstances might be
determinable in very broadly differing principles of
national law)—expressed his unfeigned astonishmen,
at the general discretion, sagacity, and good sense with
which our naval officers had acted in their reading of
these treaties. The number of these treaties, he re-
marked, was not less than thirty ; and the revision of
their various stipulations, powers, &c., and the draw-
ing up of the new code of instructions which it was
thought just and expedient to found upon them, with
a view to the better guidance of these naval officers,
had been confided to Dr. LUSHINGTON, Judge of the
Court of Admiralty, Dr. ROTIIERY (a Civilian of
Doctors' Commons), Captain DENMAN, R.N., and
Mr. BARDINEL, of the Foreign-office, (so well and,
honourably known for his reports and official papers
in connexion with the slave trade). Their " instruc-
tions," after receiving the careful considera-
tion of Government, had been examined,
amended, and confirmed by the law officers of
the Crown, and were now brought forward for the
information and sanction of Parliament. The speech
of the Earl of ABERDEEN was remarkable for some
points of peculiar interest, independently of their con-
nection with this question of slavery. In alluding to
the satisfaction of her MAJESTY'S Government at the
opportunity thus afforded them of making public the
character and bearing of the instructions given to
our cruisers, the Noble Earl administered this digni-
fied and calm rebuke to the suspicious petulance of
our French defamers :—" Her MAJESTY'S Ministers,"
he said, "felt that, as they had nothing to conceal,
this general publicity was desirable, and they felt
that that would afford the best refutation of those
calumnious and false assertions and accusations which
had been made against the conduct of that country
in suppressing the slave-trade—that under the pre•
text of humanity they really sought the extension of
their own commerce, while they crippled and impeded
that of other countries."
In the short account he gave of the statistics of
slave exportation from the coast of Africa, from 1768
(whence our first trustworthy accounts may be said
to date) to 1843, we find the appalling statement that
fur many years it averaged 100,000 annually; and
From 1835 to 1840, the same number to Brazil and
Cuba alone. It had latterly much declined. In
1842, Cuba and Brazil included, it had fallen to
17,000, though in 1843 it had risen again to 36,000.
Whilst he showed that during the enlightened and
prosperous government of General VALDEZ for
Spain, in Cuba, the slave importations had prodigi-
ously declined, owing to that enlightened officer,
consistent discouragement of the traffic, he apprised
the House of a very contrary policy, which we blush
to record as having guided the councils of ESPARTERO
during his tenure of all but supreme power in Spain.
The whole passage is a remarkable one :
" He had stated, on a former occasion, and he believed
with truth, that had General Valdez remained in the
government of the island, and continued to receive the
support and confidence of the Government at home, the
slave trade would have been annihilated in that island.
He must observe that the Government of the Regent,
although well disposed to the abolition of the slave trade,
did not support General Valdez at the close of his ad-
ministration. On the contrary, he received very positive
orders to relax in his endeavours for the suppression of
that traffic."
Lord ABERDEEN, we are glad to perceive, renders
ample justice to the active co- operation of the naval
forces of the United States with our own, in watching
and repressing the trade on the coasts of Africa ; and
to the good faith with which France, and Portugal,
in a remarkable manner, have lately been redeeming
their engagements to us on this head. Of the duplicity
of Spain, and the contumacy of Brazil, Lord ABER-
DEEN speaks in very intelligible terms of displeasure
and reprobation. He intimates, too, a tolerably dis-
tinct purpose of compelling them, if they show a dis-
position to persist in their shameless violation of the
faith of treaties, to yield to graver and more stringent
powers than those of State papers, what they obsti-
nately deny to the impulses of shame on their own
parts, and the weight of remonstrances upon ours.
Surely Spain forgets the precarious tenure of her
colonial sovereignty in Porto Rico, and the Govern-
ment of Brazil must have forgotten what was the
species of danger apprehended by that old Roman
who successfully opposed the insidious proposition
for registering, by a census, the numerical amount of
slave population which then existed within the pre-
cinct of the Eternal City ? Both Powers may yet do
well to note, deliberately, the opinions expressed by a
leading Member of the British Government :
" The change which had taken place in Cuba, and
the conduct of the local authorities in Brazil, were
topics on which he was unwilling to express his
real sentiments; but these States should recollect that
we had treaties with them on that subject; that they
had entered into engagements with us, and had thereby
placed themselves under obligations as binding, as strong,
as though they had ceded to us towns and provinces.
We had achieved a conquest of humanity, and were as
much entitled to enjoy the fruits of that conquest as of
any other. Those treaties they must be prepared to full,
and he trusted that means would be found to see that
they should be executed honestly and faithfully at last.
He had no hesitation in saying that if the Governments
of Brazil and Spain would,` for two or three years,
execute faithfully, honestly, and zealously those treaties,
the trade would be absolutely at an end."

these atrocities acted without orders from head-
quarters ?

The Three per Cents, were done at 26i- for cash,
26a at sixty days; and the Fives at 20a for the 26th
of August.

The only articles of the least interest in the Paris
papers relate to the affairs of Morocco, and particularly
to the late operations of Marshal BucicAup against
the Moorish troops. A general belief prevailed, that
as the Marshal had returned a third time to his
former position on the frontier, he would be unable
to penetrate through the desert to Fez; and all,
therefore, would depend on the fleet under the Prince
DE JOINVILLE. The National gives the following ac-
count of the state of affairs in that quarter:—
"Marshal Bugeaud is at the head of 8,000 men, in
the vicinity of Ouchda. Before him is, in perpetual
movement, this little Moorish army, composed of regular
troops, or of fanatics, excited by Alai-el-Fader. Three
defeats have not discouraged them, and the more con-
cession the Emperor is willing to make, the more they
are excited in the name of the Koran. On the whole,
the influence of Abd-el-Kader commands 3,000 men.
Marshal Bugeaud, of course, does not dread these
hordes of barbarians that our brave troops make
fly before them, but he does not move forward. When
attacked, he repels the enemy ; he then returns to his
camp, until the same game again commences. Why
then does he not advance, penetrate as far as Fez, and
spread the terror of our arms throughout the whole em-
pire ? Six weeks ago, all that was very possible, but
now the season is too far advanced, the great heats are
insupportable ; in spite of all precautions, our soldiers
sink beneath an atmosphere of fire. To reach Fez we
must march 70 leagues, without a drop of water.
"We must wait, but waiting has also its perils. In-
decision is defeat in the opinion of the Arabs. Until
when are we to wait ? Until the autumn commences,
and brings on its rains, which render all movement im-
possible. In short, we must postpone all operations till
the spring.
" The sea remains, however, open to us ; but has not
M. Guizot declared at the Luxembourg that he would
neither touch Tangier nor Tetuan. Is it England that
prevents him ? No doubt it is ; but will England inter-
dict Spain, Sweden, and Sardinia ? Is it only against
us that her orders are directed ?
" We are, therefore, for some time to come to expect
nothing from Marshal Bugeaud. It is to the squadron
commanded by the Prince de Joinville that we are to
look for offensive operations."
It appears from the Journal des Debuts that on the
.9th a grand entertainment was given by Sir ROBERT
WasoN, on board the Warspite •at Gibraltar, to the
Prince DE JOINVILLE. The whole of the civil, mili-
tary, and naval authorities, the persons of distinction
and note in Gibraltar, and the officers of foreign ships
of war in the bay, were present. The Prince was re-
ceived on board by Sir R. WusoN and the Captain of
the ship, with the utmost cordiality, and the manner and
address of his Royal Highness excited the admiration
of the whole company. On leaving the Warspite to
return to the Pluton, the Prince was saluted with 21
guns. On the 10th his Royal Highness and his
aides-de-camp dined with the Governor, who sent his
own carriages to convey them, on landing, to the Go-
vernment House. The same journal confirms the re-
port that arrests had been made at Neuilly, but it
appears they were not of a political character.
We regret to learn from these papers that no doubt
remains as to the fate of Colonel STODDART and Cap-
tain CONOLLY. Colonel SHEIL had received a letter
from Dr. WOLFF, announcing the melancholy fact,
that our unfortunate countrymen were executed at
Bokhara in June or July, 1842.
The following is the official programme for the
celebration of the anniversary of the Revolution of
July, at Paris :—On Saturday, 27th, funeral services
in memory of the citizens who died in 1830, in
defence of the laws and liberty, will be celebrated in
the various places of public worship. A special ser-
vice will be performed in the Church of St. Paul,
during which the standards on the Pont Neuf will be
veiled with crape.—On the 28th, relief will be dis-
tributed at the homes of the indigent of the various
arrondissemens.—On Monday, the 29th, salvos of
artillery will be fired, at the Hotel des Invalides, at
six in the morning and six in the evening. On the
esplanade of the Invalides and the Barriere-du-Treme,
from two o'clock till night, there will be representa-
tion:: of military pantomimes, orchestras for dancing,
and May-poles with prizes. At three o'clock there
will be jousts on the Seine, between the Pont Royal
and the Pont de la Concorde. At seven o'clock
there will be a grand concert in the garden of the
Tuileries. At nightfall there will be a grand illu-
mination of the Avenues des Champs Elysees, from
the Place de la Concorde to the Barriere de l'Etoile.
The Column of July, ornamented with a banner, the
Pantheon, the Madeleine, the Arc de Triomphe de
l'Etoile, and the other public buildings, will also be
illuminated. At nine o'clock there will be a 'grand
display of fire works on the Ponte de la Concorde and

,OZONE_ STODDART AND
CAPTAIN CONOLL Y.
The most interesting piece of information brought by
the Levant mail, and it is one which will be deplored
throughout England, is the confirmation of our worst
fears with regard to the fate of Colonel Stoddart and
Captain Conolly. It is with deep regret we have to an-
nounce that the death of both these gallant officers is at
length put beyond a doubt. They were executed at
Bokhara in the month of June, 1842. The object of
Dr. Wolff being thus unhappily ended, the reverend
gentleman was to leave Bokhara towards the end of
May, on his way to Europe.
The following letter, dated Constantinople, July 7, is
published in the Malta Times
"We have just received positive intelligence as to the re-
sult of Dr. Wolff's mission to Bokhara. Colonel Sheil states,
in a letter under date of the Bth of June, from Teheran, that
dispatches have arrived from Dr. Wolff, in which he writes
that Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly were both of them
publicly executed, in June or July, 1842. The Doctor him-
self thanks to the letters with which he had been furnished
at Constantinople, was courteously received by the Khan of
Bokhara, and was to have left that place on the 10th of
June. The mystery that hung over the fate of these unfor-
tunate gentlemen has thus been finally dispelled. Their
friends will now know the worst; and even that, perhaps, is
better than the painful uncertainty they have so long expe-
rienced on the subject."
A

ALEXANDRIA, 6TH JULY, 1844.—Sir Henry Har-
dinge, who left Alexandria on the 25th of June, reached
Cairo on the following day, and remained there to visit the
lions of that city, the Pyramids, &c., until the evening of
the 28th, when his Excellency started far Suez in a britzska
and six horses, and crossed the desert in the extraordinarily
short space of twelve hours. On the morning of the 29th,
his Excellency embarked on board the Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steam-ship Hindostan, which sailed at
ten o'clock that day for Madras and Calcutta. Besides Sir
Henry Hardinge, his son, and Major Wood, there were very
few passengers on board the Hindostan. The Pacha, who
professes to have found Sir Henry Hardinge one of the most
amiable and talented men he ever conversed with, has said,
that his Excellency mentioned to him that the British Go-
vernment was very desirous of placing the transit of the
India mail through Egypt on a secure footing, and that he
replied, that the mails are, and always have been, the object
of his special care; and that he considered his honour inte-
rested in their safe conveyance; but that if the French
Government particularly wished to come to some under-
standing with him on the sabject, he would be very happy
to do anything in his power to meet their views. Sir Henry
Hardinge then announced, that in such a case a person
would come out to Egypt on the part of the British Govern-
ment to treat with his Highness. Mehemet Ali has ordered
a British mineralogist to be engaged for him in London, to
come out to Egypt for the purpose of making researches for
coal. The mission of Prussian savans, under Dr. Lepsius,
was at Gebel Barkal in the beginning of June, all well, and
was on the point of proceeding to Dongola, whence it expected
to be back at Thebes in September. Her Majesty's steamer
Geyser left for Beyrout and the coast of Syria on the 4th
inst. The water of the Nile continuing
.to be very low, but
little produce is likely to reach Alexandria for some weeks to
come,
especially as a large party of soldiers is at present en-
gaged in cleaning and deepening different parts of the Mah-
moudieh canal, consequently trade is unusually flat. The
Pacha has upwards of 40,000 bales of cotton in his stores,
which he does not intend to sell until he can realise ten
dollars a canter for it, the present price being from eight to
nine dollars.
UNEXAMPLED FEAT AT CRICKET.—At a match of
cricket last week at Boxted, between that club and the
Bentley, 1111% John Almond, jun , one of the Bentley bowlers,
had the good fortune to put out .the whole side of the Boxted
gentlemen by his own hand, in the following manner :—viz.
by bowling down seven wickets, two catches, and stamping
one. This feat is, we believe,
unparalleled in the annals Qf
cricketing.—Cheincvird Gimmick.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET.—FRIDAY.
There wasa large supply of Wheat, and a very thin attend-
ance of buyers at this day's market. The business trans-
acted has been on the most limited scale, and although a
decline of Is. to 2s. per quarter would have been submitted
to, but few sales could be effected. All other articles of the
trade partake of the general dullness. There have been some
beautiful showers of rain during the week, with most pro-
pitious weather for the coming harvest.

UNION-HALL.-(THIS DAY.)
Frederick Moss, a Dutchman, was charged with stealing a
watch and a gold ring, the property of John Korff, the master
of a Dutch galliot ; and Henry Martin, a waterman, was
charged with receiving the articles, knowing them to have
been stolen.

It appeared Moss caine over a passenger in Korff's
vessel from Rotterdam, and that on the passage he
stole the watch aad ring from tho, captain's cabin.
The vessel having arrived in the river, Moss went
ashore, and went into a public-house, where he met the
other prisoner, and they fell into conversation. Illoss, want-
ing to pay for some liquor, tendered a Dutch coin, which
was refused by the landlord, when Martin proposed
to raise money on the watch of his fellow-prisoner,
and, with his consent, took it to a pawnbroker's and
pledged it and the ring, but instead of delivering the tickets
to Moss, he kept them himself. As soon as the Dutchman
was in possession of the money, the produce of the articles,
he began to drink at such a rate that he fell off the seat, in
which condition he was picked up and taken to the sta-
tion-house, where he was subsequently found by
Korff, the owner of the watch and ring, and
given into custody. Martin, the other prisoner, afterwards
redeemed the articles himself, and had them in his possession
when he was taken into custody.
Mr. TRAIL', on being apprised that Martin's wife had
the stolen articles at home, she was sent for to produce them,
and, in the meantime, the prisoners were put back until her
arrival.

UXBRIDGE YEOMANRY.—The Uxbridge yeomanry,
under the command of Hubert De Burgh, Esq., were in-
spected by Major Lawrenson, of the 17th Lancers, on Tues-
day last, on Uxbridge-common, and performed their duties
in so efficient a manner as to call forth the decided approba-
tion of that gallant officer. On their return to Uxbridge,
after the duties of the morning, an excellent dinner was pre-
pared at the White Horse Inn, to which about eighty of the
members sat down, Captain De Burgh taking the head of the
centre table, and Lieutenants Cox and Newdegate presiding
at other tables. The band performed a variety of pleasing airs;
and the party passed a pleasant evening.
The splendid picture of his Grace the Duke of
Wellington in consultation with his officers previous to a
general engagement, was brought to the hammer on Wed-
nesday, at Messrs. Foster's auction gallery, Pall-mall. A
great number of persons attended. The auctioneer, having
stated the conditions of sale, said this celebrated picture was
pronounced by the whole of the press to be the chef d'ceuere
of the late Mr. Heaphy, containing, as it did, faithful
likenesses of the Duke of Wellington and the principal
officers engaged in the Peninsular war. That work was
painted expressly for his late Majesty George IV., for
the stipulated sum of 1,400 guineas. The artist was
with the army in Spain for about eighteen months, for the
purpose of taking the portraits for this great work. On
his return to this country he was employed upon it for a
period of nearly three years. The late J. A. Smith, A.R.A.,
was engaged by the artist to make the well-known engraving
therefrom, but the engraver's death happening before the
plate was entirely finished, prevented Mr. Heaphy com-
pleting this inimitable performance until after the demise of
his Royal employer. After wishing that the picture might
be bought for one of our national institutions, the auctioneer
said there was not the slightest reservation placed upon it,
and sold it must be, no matter how great the sacrifice. An
offer of 501. was then made, and after six' more biddings it
was knocked down to a Mrs. Kean, of Green-street, Lei-
cester-square, for 85 guineas. The engraved copper-plate
from the above, with 448 impressions, together with the
copper-plate key, were knocked down to Mr. M'Lean, of the
Haymarket, for 175 guineas.
TITHES ON Rathways.—ln his evidence before the
Select Committee, Mr. Richard Jones, one of the Commis-
sioners under the Tithe Commutation Act, stated that there
had been a difficulty in respect of a few railways—the Great
Western, and Lancaster and Preston in particular—in reco-
vering tithe rent charges, the objection being not so such
to the amount, which it was stated had never, in a
rural parish, exceeded 121., but to the principle of the
charge. Where there Is a station in a parish, there
is no difficulty, for the tithe-owners can distrain on
the coals and furniture. • In parishes, however,
where there is no station, there is under the existing law no
remedy. The party cannot seize the rails they being fix-
tures, nor can he take possession of the railwa which is a
public thoroughfare. It seems, however, fromy, Mr. Jones's
evidence, that the tithe-owner has " various ways of torment-
ing " the companies. " The tithe-owner (added the wit-
ness) may lay hold of the banks of the railway; he may say
that the men shall not come to do any repairs." It was
farther stated that in one case a tithe-owner proposed, but
was dissuaded from, taking possession of a railway, and
putting up false signals !—Railway Record.
The remains of the lamented Dowager Countess of
Leicester will be interred en Uonday next at Longford, the
family Rat in Norfolk.
