state in which it was previous to the union. Of
popular influence it would have little or none, for the
people, finding how very circumscribed were its
powers, would soon learn to look on it with indiffer-
ence, if not contempt, as a mere emasculated Parlia-
ment. Possibly, however, Mr. O'Cosow.L regards
Federalism as a mere stepping-stone to further Re-
peal, and if so, his approval of the scheme is at once
accounted for. Alluding to the apprehensions ex-
pressed by many Irishmen that property would not
be safe in the event of a restoration of the domestic
Legislature, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman ob-
served :—" I will now come to another impediment
in the way of Repeal—namely, the supposed confisca-
tion of property. I say that property is not safe unless
there is a Repeal of the Union ; and it ought not to
be safe when six millions of Irish money are
spent out of the country. But, on the other side, if
Repeal were obtained, property would be perfectly
secure ; therefore it is that men of property should be
actively engaged in the struggle ; and let me remind
them, that an opportunity once lost, can seldom be
regained." We should be glad to see the arguments
by which Mr. O'Comitz supports his statement, that
property would be safe ifßepeal were carried. To our
thinking, it would be just the reverse. Such a revo-
lutionary ferment as the restoration of an Irish House
of Commons would engender, would almost, as a matter
of necessity, be fatal to every species of property. The
popular mind of Ireland would be so heated, the passions
wound up to such a height, that all considerations of
common sense, justice, and right feeling would be
lost sight of. The wedge of anarchy once inserted,
would be sure to be soon driven home, and the men
of substance and sagacity—the leaders in fact of the
Repeal agitation—the instant they attempted to put
a drag•chain on the popular movement, would be
overwhelmed by its pressure, and deprived at once
of all their former moral influence. He who talked
the loudest, and promised the most to the inflammable
masses, would be seen to be the favourite in the Irish
House of Commons ; and to his professions the people
would greedily listen, while they would turn a deaf
ear to the more staid, and equitable, and prudent
counsels of their soberer advisers. Ultimately, as is
the case in all great revolutionary changes, affairs
would right themselves, and common sense resume
her old ascendancy, but how much crime, and suffer
ing, and humiliation must be endured ere this desir.
able consummation would be effected I

Morocco. The treaty itself, which has not yet been
published in extenso, was received by the French Go-
vernment the day before :
" The Government has received dispatches containing
the terms of the treaty concluded with Morocco. The
text of this treaty will be published. In the meantime,
we hasten to apprise our readers of what wehare learned.
The most important clause is that which regards Abd-
el-Kader. The Emir is outlawed. The Moors, conse-
quently, undertake to pursue him, with arms in their
hands, throughout their territory, until he shell have
either been expelled the territory, or they shall hare laid
hold of his person. If the Emir fall into their hands,
they engage to confine him in one of the towns
situate on the western coast of the empire, until
the two Governments shall have come to an under-
standing to take measures to guarantee the tran-
quillity of Algeria against his attacks. This is the
essential article of the treaty. Another article stipu-
lates that an exemplary chastisement shall be inflicted
on the Moorish chiefs who have violated the peace and
invaded our territory. The Emperor engages to pre-
vent for the future any assemblage' of troops on our
frontier, and not to retain more than 2,000 men under
the command of the Caid of Ouchda, the nearest town
to our frontiers, and which we occupied after the battle
of Isly. The frontiers are to be marked out as they
were during the domination of the Turks in Algeria.
This question of frontier was, it may be recollected, the
origin or the pretext for the attack of the Moors. The
treaty acknowledges our rights, and decides in our favour.
Fresh negotiations will take place for the purpose of com-
pleting and consolidating the ancient treaties which re-
gulate our political and commercial relations with Mo-
rocco. In the mean time these ancient treaties are main-
tained, and France will enjoy, in every respect, the same
privileges as the most favoured nation."
With regard to the manner in which the negotia-
tions were conducted, the Debats adds :
" The Moors were anxious to hasten the settlement
of peace, and the Emperor's Plenipotentiary looked with
impatience for the arrival of the Prince de Joinville at
Tangiers. As soon as the Suffren appeared in the road-
stead, the governor of the town went on board, and re-
newed, in the name of the Emperor, a desire for peace.
Our terms were immediately made known to the Pacha,
with a signification that they must be refused or accepted
without discussion. The Pacha at once signed them, the
Consul's flag was again raised, and the town saluted it
with twenty-one guns. There were, therefore, no nego-
tiations properly speaking. We have dictated peace
without allowing the conditions to be discussed. The
Moors submitted. The war was conducted with energy,
the peace was concluded gloriously, and those people
will remember at one and the same time the strength
and the magnanimity of France. We rejoice with all
good citizens in results so glorious and so honourable.
The simple narrative that we have given, showing events
as they have passed, and the correct analysis of the prin-
cipal stipulations of the treaty, will suffice as an answer
to all that has, with so much bad faith, been already put
forth, and may hereafter be urged upon this subject."
A Royal Ordonnance, dated the 18th, is published
in the Moniteur, by which his MAJESTY confers upon
Marshal BUGEAUD the title of Duke of Ismr, and
another Royal Ordonnance of the same date, by which
the KING, upon the report of the Minister of the Ma-
rine, has promoted his Royal Highness the Prince de
JolriviLLE to the rank of Vice-Admiral. In the great
national Museum at Versailles, two compartments,
which are yet empty, but which M. HORACE VERNET
has been deputed to fill, have already inscribed over
them the words "Isly," " Tangiers," " Mogadore."
The Journal des Debats has a column devoted to
the contradiction of the statement of a Contemporary
as to a treaty between our Government and certain
Powers, for the purpose of securing to England a
passage through Egypt, and other advantages. The
Debats says :—" We believe we can venture to
affirm that the English Ministry have disavowed, in
the most formal manner, the existence of any project
of that nature, and have declared that the note pub-
li-hed by the English journal in a shape apparently
official is quite unfounded.
The Comtitutionnel, on mentioning the arrival_of
a commissioner from Hayti, to solicit from the French
Government a delay of five years in the payment of
the indemnity, alludes to a report that the Haytian
Government offers an inducement to give some new
commercial advantages to France, and in particular
to reduce the duties on French wines.
The Presse states, that—
" It is a justice which must be rendered to the Mi-
nister of Finance, that when the Chambers express a
wish he takes it into serious consideration, with a strong
desire to give effect to it. We announced yesterday that
the Minister was taking measures to secure the success
of the plan for reducing the interest on the Five per
Cents. ; we are authorised to add that the situation of
the savings' banks is at this moment the object of his
meditations. The question he wishes to resolve is in
what manner to diminish the danger which results from
an accumulation of deposits payable at night. We de-
sire more than we expect, that the Minister will find a
solution in the creation of railroad bonds payable to
bearer, producing 3f. 65c. per cent. per annum, or Ic.
per day.'
The Revue de Paris, however, affirms with cer-
tainty that this project of a reduction is quite un-
founded; if the Alinister of Finances have thought
for a moment of a reduction into Four per Cents., he
now thinks no more of it. The Crown would not
sanction any project of that nature.
It is stated by the Revue de Paris that the Emperor
of Mogocco, when he became aware of the extent of
his losses, was so anxious for peace that he charged
an Italian renegade, named ALERIZI, who had always
recommended recourse to violence, to wait on the
Governor of Tangiers, and order him torepair without
delay on board the Admiral's ship, and open new ne-
gotiations, threatening him, in case of failure, with
death, by being walled in alive.
Negotiations were immediately opened with the
Prince DI JOIN YILLE. According to the reports in
circulation, the Prince had taken upon himself to
demand a compensation for the expenses of the war
before the arrival of the instructions forwarded to
Messrs. DE GLUCKSDER‘ and Ishoit, which enjoined
them to insist on that point.
The Florence Correspondent of the Revue de Paris
writes that :
" The Grand Duke of Tuscany is preparing to leave
for Trieste, where he is to meet the Emperor of Austria,
who has repaired to that city, with some members of his
family and Prince Metternich, for the purpose of sea-
bathing. It is said that the two Sovereigns will thence
proceed to Milan, to be present at the sittings of the
Scientific Congress, and impart, by their presence an
additional importance to that national solemnity. The
journey of the Grand Duke may, however, be connected
with a project, of which Austria is secretly pursuing the
execution—the establishment of an Italian Customs'
Union. Report states that a proposition to that effect
is to be made at, the Congress of Milan. By the posses-
sion of the Lombardo. Venetian kingdom, Austria is,
after Naples, the first Power in Italy, and would, con-
rsequently, derive the principal advantages from the
treaty. But an Italian Customs' Union, comprising
Lombardy, should necessarily assume a greater exten-
sion, and become an Austro-Italian union, the effect of
which would be, to draw closer the ties already existing
between Italy and Austria. The Sovereigns of Tus-
cany, Modena, Parma, and Lucca, will no doubt yield,
on account of their family connections ; Rome can have
no other will than that of Austria ; and Sardinia would
find an advantage in a treaty that would restore the trade
of Genoa. Naples alone, with her separate interests and
her prohibitive system, refuses to join in the negotiation."

We hope that, in any measure which Sir JAMES
GRAHAM may introduce for the regulation of the
medical profession, he will take away, or at all events
greatly modify, the power which medical men now
possess of shutting up their fellow-subjects in lunatic
asylums. As the law at present stands, if any two
medical men choose to sign a certificate, stating that
in their opinion a person is insane, the keeper of an
asylum is obliged to receive such person into his
custody, how convinced soever he may be of the
sanity of the alleged lunatic. As a proof of the
necessity of some alteration of the law in this re-
spect, we refer our readers to a case which came
before Mr. Baounnro7 on Saturday at the Worship-
street Police-court: Sergeant FLYNN, of the N divi-
sion of the metropolitan police, appeared before the
magistrate to make arrangements for the maintenance
of his wife, whom he had caused to be incarcerated in
a lunatic asylum at Bethnal-green, although she was
perfectly sane. The following is the evidence of the
medical attendant of the asylum in which the poor
creature was confined :
" Mr. Phillips, who has been many years the principal
medical officer of the asylum, stated that during
several months that Ellen Flynn had been confined there
no symptoms of insanity had been discoverable in her,
and, in fact, she was quite sane. She had been received
there upon a medical certificate, signed, as the law re-
quired, by two medical men."
The woman herself answered with great propriety
a variety of questions put to her by the magistrate,
and said that she had at one time been ill, and there
had been unhappy differences between het and her
husband, but she had never been mad, although she
had been spirited away and shut up as a mad woman.
We have small reason to boast of ours being the
land of liberty, if persons can be spirited away, and
shut up as mad in this manner. That the members of
the medical profession, as a body, are most honour-
able and high-minded, we freely admit; but it cannot
be denied that there are unworthy members of that
body who would, " for a consideration," abuse this
tremendous power with which the law has entrusted
them ; or that there are ignorant and careless mem-
bers of that body who might, through want of know-
ledge, or want of caution, sign a certificate condemn-
ing a sane person to incarceration for life among
lunatics—a punishment more horrible than any our
legislators have devised for the most flagrant crimes.
But granting, for th• sake of argument, that it is
impossible to find, in the United Kingdom, two dis-
honourable, or ignorant, or careless medical practi-
tioners, still, what precaution has been taken against
the commission of forgery? What is easier for a person,
desirous of procuring the incarceration of another as a
lunatic, than to forge the names of two medical men
to a certificate, and on the authority of that forged
certificate, to demand that the victim shall be received
into an asylum ? It is a dangerous and a fearful
thing to have this tremendous power entrusted to any
two individuals, however talented, or however honour.
able, they may be. No man should be deprived of
his liberty except by the ♦erdict of a jury. In
cases of death of the body, a coroner's jury is assem-
Wed to inquire into the circumstances by which that
death was occasioned. Let the same course be pur-
sued in cases of death of the mind ; and make it a
crime, to be punished with the greatest severity, in
any keeper of an asylum to receive into his custody
any alleged lunatic without a warrant from the
coroner, founded upon the verdict of a jury,
authorising such person's detention. Our law
will not suffer any alleged lunatic to be deprived
of control over his property without a preli-
minary inquiry before a jury, but while there is no
property in the case, he may be deprived of his per-
sonal liberty upon the mere certificate of two medical
men. The necessity of public inquiry before a jury
in every case of alleged insanity is curiously exempli-
fied in the case of Mr. THOMAS TELFORD CAMPBELL,
which is likewise reported in our paper of this day.
This gentleman, the son of the poet, had, it seems, been
an inmate for fourteen years of Dr. ALLEN'S lunatic
asylum at High Beach, having been originally re-
ceived there upon the usual medical certificate. In
consequence of the death of Mr. CAMPBELL'S father,
the trustees, under the will of a relative, from whom
the alleged lunatic derived an annuity, considered it
would be unsafe to continue the payment of that annuity
to any one on behalf of Mr. CAMPBELL without
instituting some inquiry. A Commission was con-
sequently issued, an investigation took place, and the
jury returned, as their verdict, that Mr. THOMAS TEL
FORD CAMPBELL was of sound mind.

As long as the present state of the law continues,
the personal liberty of every one is in danger. It is
the bounden duty of the Government to devise some
remedy for a grievance so intolerable and so monstrous
as this.

Madrid journals and letters hare arrived to the
13th inst. It appeared to hare been decided on tha
there should be no alteration in the Ministry until
after the meeting of the Cortes. Such was the advice
of M. MARTINEZ DZ LA ROSA.

The Globo, the Ministerial organ, announces the
departure of additional troops for Navarre, and among
them are the infantry regiment of Castile and the
cavalry regiment of Santiago. "We do not believe
(adds that print) that the Carlists are very formid-
able, whether they present themselves with or with-
out arms ; but we fear their attempts will excite the
public mind, and fortify other enemies of our institu-
tions and public order."

THE GREAT Wzr.L CASE.—We have been waited
on by Messrs. Richards and Walker, the solicitors
of the executors of the late Mr. James Wood, of
Gloucester, in relation to a paragraph which appeared
in The Sun of Monday last. They deny that any com-
promise has been entered into by the executors with
the Corporation of Gloucester, and state that the
appeal to the House of Lords is still proceeding, and
will be heard -before their Lordships as speedily as
the rules and practice of the House will allow ; and
they state that they are ignorant of the fact that any
further will or testamentary paper has been found,
and they express their belief that any report to the
contrary is without foundation.

" The sentinels placed on all the avenues of the
principal streets (says the Clamor Public()) have each
by them another
,soldier, armed with a bayonet and
a musket, who quits them neither night nor day.
The terror that has seized on our authorities is so
I great that the tranquillity prevailing in the capital
cannot comfort them."
The Gazette publishes a Ministerial order suppress-
ing the extraordinary authority granted to the in-
spectors and captains-general at the period of the

The second weekly statement of the Issue and Bank-
ing Department of the Bank of England, varies but
slightly in the items of which the first was composed.
In the amount of notes issued we find an increase from
29,351,2951. to 28,500,8801. Of course the Government
debt remains the same. There is an increase in gold
and silver bullion. As far as the banking department
is concerned, the Rest appears to have slightly increased;
also the public deposits, rather considerably. The
Government Securities per contra, including Dead
Weight, are in atatu quo; other Securities increased from
7,835,6161. to 8,146,689/. ; in the notes an increase of
nearly half a million has taken place ; and a decrease
in gold and silver coin from 857,7631 to 696,8011. The
general results of this return, as respects the banking de-
partment, is an increase. in the aggregate from 31,423,2401.
to 32,016,634/.
There are some private accounts by a transit ship
which confirm the information received yesterday of a
treaty of commerce having been concluded with the
Brazils. In the City many are the inquiries how the
produce of slave labour can be introduced from Rio here,
but that some arrangement has been come to to get over
the difficulty there appears to be no doubt. In a day or
two we may have the means of giving full information
upon this interesting subject.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
LIGHTS AT SPOTSBJERB, AND OFF FAL-
STERBO.

Admiralty, September 20, 1844.
Sir,—l am commanded by my Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty to transmit to you the accompanying
copy of a notice received from her Majesty's Consul at
Elsinore, respecting a light at Spotsbjerb, and also one
respecting a light-ship off the reef of }'alsterbo.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant.
(Signed) JOHN BARROW.
Wm. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's.
(coPy.)
LIGHT AT SPOTSBJERB, ENTRANCE TO THE

ISEFJORD.
The fishermen at Lyenas, and in the neighbourhood,
shall be permitted, until further notice, to keep a lamp
burning on Spotsbjerb, at the entrance to the Isefjord,
from the Ist September to the Ist November. This light,
which will be visible at sea in the direction from E.N.E.
to W.S.W., at a distance of about two leagues, will be
shown for the first time on the Ist September of this
year, and will be kept burning within the aforesaid time,
for the same length of time as the other lights in the
kingdom.
General Board of Customs and Trade, Aug. 30, 1844.

LIGHT-SHIP OFF FALSTERBO REEF.
The Royal Marine Department gives notice, and
makes known to mariners, agreeably to their notice of
the 7th of July last year, that the light-ship therein
mentioned will be ready for taking her berth on Fals-
terbo Reef at the end of this, or the beginning of next,
month. The light-ship has two masts, its sides are
painted red ; the two letters F S very large, and painted
white,
either ; a red flag is hoisted
on °night two lights will be shown
which the
will sioaladY atcd
placed
that the one cannot easily con-
ceal the other, so that when the vessel is seen from a
side, both lights will be distinctly visible, or when seen
from ahead or from astern, the one light will be seen
close above the other. The highest lamp is on the
foretop.
These lights will be kept burning from the middle of
September to the Ist December (when the light-ship
will be removed), for the same length of time each night
as is prescribed for the rest of the Swedish lights. The
light-ship will be moored in 6f fathoms water, a good
minute from the furthermost point of Falsterbo Beef
(vide Admiral Klint's sea chart), from whence the light-
house on Falsterbo will bear N.E. by the compass at six
minutes distance, and when the light on Stern's Klint
in Zealand will show Itself W.N.W. I W. by compass.
The light-ship will also be provided with a large bell,
which will be rung in thick and foggy weather, in order
to warn the shipping near. The lights are fixed about
fifty feet above the level of the sea, and will therefore be
visible is clear weather at a distance of more than two
German miles.

Shipmasters wanting a pilot through the Flint Channel
to Alaimo!, or to the Grounds, where Danish pilots
attend, can obtain one from the light-ship, on board
of which five pilots will be stationed for that purpose,
who will be on the watch, day and night, for signals.
To this end the ligh. t-ship will be so moored that the
largest ship may, without danger, sail round it and take
in a pilot, and the pilot-jack will be hoisted so long as
there shall be a pilot disposable on board, but will be re-
moved whenever all the pilots are absent.
Unless the contrary be known, and unless prevented
by the ice, the light-ship will resume her station on the
same point of the Rvef on the 15th of March next.
StockholmtAugust 13, 1844.

Orders have been received on board the royal
steam-yacht Victoria and Albert to hare everything
ready for her Majesty s embarkation on Monday the
30th inst., on which day her Majesty has signified her
intention of leaving Scotland on her return voyage. The
yacht is still lying in the river Tay off Dundee, and it is
understood that her Majesty will embark at the same
place where she landed, and that the royal party will
leave Blair Athol on Monday morning, immediatly after
breakfast, and arrive in Dundee between three and four
o'clock, whence they will proceed at once on board the
yacht. By this arrangement her Majesty will arrive at
Woolwich, near mid-day on Wednesday. The voyage
from the river to Dundee occupied upwards of forty-two
hours, and, calculating that it will take the same time to
return, should her Majesty embark at Dundee at four
o'clock on Monday, the 30th inst., the yacht will reach
Woolwich on Wednesday, October 2, about ten o'clock.

THE NAPOLEON MUSEUM.—This most interesting
and valuable exhibition closes at the end of this week,
and we hope to have an opportunity of visiting it once
more before its final close. As illustrative of the annals
of one of the most stirring periods in the history of the
world, the contents of this museum are invaluable, while
to the mere lover of articles of vertu, a visit to the Napo-
leon Museum is one of the greatest treats that can be
offered to him.

VAUXHALL GARDENS.—This once celebrated and
fashionable place of entertainment will open this
evening in all its pristine splendour, recalling back those
festive nights which caused the "royal property" to
be celebrated throughout Europe. The amusements will
be equal to those presented in the palmy days when the
gardens were at their zenith. To meet the taste of the
public, an endless variety of entertainments will be pre-
sented, while the charge of admission will enable the
"million" to participate in those delightful recreations
which for y ears past has only been a matter of history.
The " note of preparation" has been sounding night and
day during the past week, the several artistes having
been actively engaged in their various departments.
Among other popular favourites engaged are Ransford,
W. H. Williams, G. Robinson, Miss Agnes Taylor, Tom
Matthews (the celebrated clown, the Grimaldi of the
day), Eller (the harlequin) and a splendid corps de
ballet from her Majesty's Theatre, under the direction of
Mr. T. W. Beckett. The ballet of "La Vivandiere,"
and a pantomimic sketch, are, among other novelties,
announced. The musical arrangements, under the
direction of Mr. G. Robinson, who obtained such celebrity
for so many seasons, by singing that popular air, " My
pretty Jane," are most complete, and the famous brass
band of Mr. W. Blight is engaged. The illuminations
will be on an extraordinary scale of splendour ; and the
fireworks. by that unrivalled pyrotechnist, Darby, will
surpass any display ever witnessed even at Vauxhall.
The inhabitants of the village of Great Eastern
were on Thursday last gratified with a rural treat, pro-
vided by the beneficence of the Right Hon. Viscountess
Maynard. Eight hundred cottagers partook of the
bountiful provision made for them, which included four
rounds of beef, weighing together 3001bs. ; 4001bs. of
plum-cake, 252 quartern loaves, 201bs. of fresh butter,
2i barrels of strong beer, and the usual et cetera:. The
day was passed in the most agreeable manner—rustic
sports giving a zest to the entertainments of the table.
Han MAJESTY'S VISIT TO THE CITY.—We un-
derstand that a letter has been received by the Lord
Mayor from Sir James Graham, intimating her Ma-
jesty's gracious intention, along with the Prince Consort,
of honouring the City with a visit on the occasion of the
opening of the Royal Exchange. The banquet it was
originally intended should take place in the Guildhall,
but her Majesty has intimated a desire that it should
be in the Royal Exchange, the open area within which
will be covered for the occasion.—Post.
ACCIDENTAL DEATH.—Friday evening, about seven
o'clock, an old man, whose name we could not learn, met
his death, under the following awful circumstances, in
Webber-street, Waterloo-road:—lt appears that he was
passing through the above street, and was in the act of
tendering a child some fruit, when his foot slipped off
the kerb, and he fell into the road, coming in contact
with a brewer's dray, and before he could be extricated
the wheels passed over his body. He was immediately
picked up and conveyed to a neighbouring surgeon, but
with no effect, as he was dead. The body was ultimately
removed to the dead-house of St. John's.
THE MILITIA.---A ballot will take place this autumn
to complete the English and Scotch militias, for which
purpose it is expected an Order in Councill will forth-
with be issued.

DEATH ore FEMALIII OVUM EATER.—Fridayeven-
ing Mr. Payne resumed an inquiry, commenced on the
previous day, at Guy's Hospital, on Charlotte Williams,
aged fifty, who it was believed died from taking opium.
It appeared by the evidence of witnesses that the de-
ceased was ill-used, and in order to drown her cares and
banish the thoughts of the cruel treatment she received,
she abandoned herself to a habit of eating opium. Oa
Monday morning last she was found by her landlady in
bed vomiting, but was not considered in any danger
until the following afternoon, when, being perfectly in-
sensible, she was carried to the hospital. Deceased died
there the same day, but the house-surgeon was unable
to account for death, and the inquest was sdjourned for
a post mortem examination. The inquiry was resumed
last evening, when Mr. Kent, the house-surgeon, said
that he had made a post modem examination of the body.
It was evident that the cause of death was apoplexy,
from the bursting of a blood-vessel. The opium she was
in the habit of taking might have been the exciting cause
of the rupture. Emma Murphy said that on Tuesday
morning, while deceased was lying insensible, a girl
asked her husband how she was, when he said, " Oh, she's
all right ; she'll be dead before the morning." Verdict
—Natural death.

SMALL VESSELS.---An order of her Majesty in
council, published in the Gazette of Friday, exempts
all vessels, of less burthen than fifteen tons from payment
of tolls to the corporation of Trinity House of Deptford
Stroud.

BRIGHTON, SEPT. 20.—Lady Justice Bailey left
