SLAVERY IN ALGIERS.

From a correspondent at Oran we have receitred •
translation of an address to the Duke of Isly (Marshal
Bugeaud) from the Institut d'Afrique at Pans, in re'
lation to the slave trade notoriously carried on under
French dominion in Algeria. The address does great
credit to that body, and must, we should think, have
powerful effect. We trust it is only the first of
series of steps which will be taken by the Institute, if
further measures should be found necessary in order
to efface this foul blot from the fair fame of France•

Since writing the above we have seen Marshal By
geaud's reply to the address of the Institut d'Afriquel
on which we cannot at the moment make any extended
remarks. It is, strange to say, in the negative, so
pleads strongly for the continuance of the slave-trick'
in Algeria! Of the arguments which he urges, UP'
right and benevolent men can form but one opinin
It is evident, however, that he is not acquainte
with the facts of the ease. He writes, for example/
as though the purchase of slaves was confined to the
Arabs, and seems not to know that it is practised
by Frenchmen. Many proofs of this have alreadf
appeared in our columns ; but we give another, sup'
plied to us by the last letter of our correspondent from
Oran :—" A captain of the chasseurs, a Mons. Traver-
sier, now resident here, has just purchased a little
black boy for 200 francs. An English lady asked the
captain if he was not afraid of his Government. N°:
he replied, 'I purchased him at my own risk. If he
runs away, the law does not permit me to reclaim
him. This is my punishment."'—Anti-Slavery Re'
porter.

NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF "HANPLJ
Cross."—The author of " Handley Cross" is again abous
d
~
to come before the public with a new work, entitle
" Hillingdon Hall ; or, the Cockney Squire, a Tale' $3l
Country Life." The Quarterly Review, in noticing this
writer's former production, observed, with much truth,
that " the author of Handley Cross' is a writer of 11°
common promise. The easy style in which he arranges
and draws out his characters, satisfies us that he might"
if he pleased, take a high place among our modern ne"
velista. He has a world of knowledge of life and manner's
beyond what most of those now in vogue can pretend to
and a gentlemanlike tone and spirit, perhaps Even rarer
among them." We understand that "Hillingdon 1161 r
is a work which is likely to answer to the fullest extent,
the expectations thus expressed by the first of our critics'
authorities.

KINGSTON, OCT. 24.—During the late heavy Mini
the Spey has been much swollen, and has destroyed pt.°.

four dwelling-houses have been entirely swept away, 1111 h,
seven or eight others deserted, in consequence. of I--
course the river has taken, which is directly against the
soft beach, upon which the town is built, and which is OW
being gradually washed off. A great quantity of want!:
factured timber has also been lost, and even that left
so mixed that it must be difficult for the merchants tf:,
know their own. The inhabitants represented their Os.;
to his Grace the Duke of Richmond, and requested hit
interference in altering the course of the river—a retrie('

A LIGHT CIGAR.—A. passenger recently arriv,e4„

from Bombay, had amongst his baggage and effects

Miss BURDETT COUTTS.—I have to-day heard
piece of intelligence which I think will take the genera
readers of newspapers. both here and in the country
