THE SUN, JAPNDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 11. 1832.

trouble themselves to get up this counter-
irritation, if they did not tremble for their
own monopoly. The Anti-Bread-taxers will not
suffer themserves to be deluded by the tactics of
the Tories; and, encouraged by the tricks and
subterfuges of their opponents, they will steadily
pursue their great object, and demand justice.
The working classes, too, we trust, will not suffer
the cunning Tories to divert them from obtain-
ing the abolition of the Bread-tax, which is the
master grievance, to get some little melioration of I
the factory system. They will recollect that the
faults even of that system are to be traced to the
Bread-taxers, in whose hands exclusively, and
not in the hands of the millowners, has been the
power of making laws for the spinners and
weavers, and for the masters and workmen, as
well as for the agricultural labourers.
In truth, the Tories do not take much pains
to conceal their desire to delude and degrade
the working men of England. Their Dantzic
correspondent, or missionary, ascribes the dis-
tress of our people in part to the more numerous
wants of the English workmen. The Tories
blame the people for their extravagance,- and
would make them, as has been recommended in
the Journal of the TVorhing Glasses, to limit their
enjoyments, and lower their standard ofsubAst-
ence. If the working classes can be deceived
by this transparent trickery of the Tories, they
will completelyprove the case of their opponents,
demonstrate that they are utterly destitute of
political discernment, and quite unworthy to be
entrusted with the franchise. Whatever may be
the faults and the oppression committed by the
millowners, let them be made answerable,
but let the people never forget that the
Bread-tax is a deliberate robbery, enacted with
all the solemn pomp of law by the Parliament,
and which can, and ought, to be abolished by the
Parliament.

" Has the great experiment of negro emanci-
pation succeeded ?" is an important question, on
which the Immigration and Agricultural Society
of Trinidad has undertaken to throw light. Mr.
W. HARDING BURNLEY, its President, has just
published the result of its investigations. We
are not much surprised, however, that the ques-
tion should still remain in doubt and obscurity,
when, as Mr. BURNLEY says, seventeen Gover-
nors are writing and forwarding despatches by
every packet, while numerous journals, hun-
dreds of letters, and many ocular wit-
nesses, are continually bearing testimony
to the fact, on one side or the other.
What darkenine, of counsel by many words,
particularly as parties are still arrayed against
each other, and the angry feelings occa-
sioned by the struggle to effect emancipation
have not yet died away ! Nevertheless, it is a
most interesting question, and we are grateful to
Mr. BURNLEY for supplying us with much infor-
mation, and an opportunity to say a few words
on the subject.
• For what was the experiment made ? To be-
nefit the sugar planters? No. To enable them
to heap up fortunes? No. To extend the culti-
vation of sugar colonies ? Not even that. It
was made to benefit the negroes, to promote
their happiness, freedom, and civilization. We
must consider the object of emancipation before
we can answer the question, has it succeeded ?
and we must inquire of the emancipated slave,
not of his master. We only get indications of
its influence on the condition of the former slaves
from the complaints of their masters, and those
indications seem to us to prove that the great ex-
periment has been eminently successful.
Seven years have passed away since slavery
was abolished, and what were the objections
made to the abolition ? That the slaves would
be riotous in their freedom—would not work—
would not obey the laws—and would throw off the
dominion of the planters. Have any of these
fears, these predictions, been realised ? Where
is the colony that has run into disorder, or gone
out of cultivation, or been given up wholly to
the former slaves? What West Indian pro-
prietor has been ruined by it? We have heard
of none ; but we find many proofs Nat the
negroes have been benefited.
Mr.BURN LEY complains, for example, that they
are not subject, in Trinidad, to as stringent a
system as the labourers of England, though here
a rigorous climate calls for continuous exertion,
while i❑ the tropics nature invites to indolence,
and the absolute wants of life are few. This
means that the negroes are not condemned and
compelled to work for the capitalist and the
planter in Trinidad, as the labourers of England
are compelled to work : even the Tories now com-
plain of this. In Trinidad there has been a
continual rise in wages for the last three years, to
attract labourers from the neighbouring islands;
and a similar rise would be a great blessing to the
toil-worn people of England. M r.BURN LEY'S com-
plaint of this is a testimony to the benefit which
emancipation has conferred on the negroes.
Mr. BURNLEY, however, in common with
other gentlemen in his sphere of life, fancies
that the negroes will not take care of themselves;
and, though they now marry, attend to their
dress, go to church, are not coerced by the plan-
ters—for, wanting their services, he is even afraid
to inform against them—he supposes that a time
will come when the planters will be ruined, and
when the labouring classes of Trinidad will be
in a state of helpless destitution. We have a
great suspicion of all such benevolent fears, and
Mr. BURNLEY does not disguise that they dic-
tate to him to subject the negro to the salutary
yoke of our civilization.
In truth, the condition of the labourers in Tri-
nidad seems one of freedom, and consequently
one of happiness. The planter can no longer
command them as if they were slaves; and when
be orders the steam in the engine-boiler to be
raised in the morning, he is uncertain whether a
sufficient number of hands can be procured to
carry on the work of the day. But while the
negro does not work excessively in Trinidad, he
seems not to fall into poverty. He imitates his
former, ntasters, and gambles for dollars, as if
he-were opulent as well as free. On the whole,
we conclude that Mr. IItuNLEY has satisfac-
torily proved, so far as the experiment has yet
gone, and looking to the object for which it was
made, not to enrich the planters, but to benefit
the negroes, that the great experiment of negro
emancipation has been eminently successful.
Mr. BURNLEY and the Immigration Society of
Trinidad, suggest a curious mode of extending
the cultivation of sugar in Trinidad, extinguish-
ing the Slave-trade, and of reducing the wages of
the now independent labourers, the considera-
tion of which we must postpone till a future day.

There have been great meetings of the people
at Dundee and at Bolton; and at both the
decay of trade and the public distress were the
painful themes most dwelt on. We supply a
brief account of the former, which is remark-
able, because it was attended by several land-
owners, who go heartily along with their
manufacturing neighbours in demanding the
abolition of the Corn-laws. Such men- may,
if any can, reconcile the people to sub-
mit to landowners' legislation some time
longer; but we are afraid they are too few, and
not sufficiently numerous, to redeem the mass,
and revive in the minds of the people the senti-
ment of respectful obedience to the laws. The
reader will see that decay and distress are nearly
as great in Dundee and its neighbourhood as in
Manchester and Leeds.

In all Europe, according to the united testi.
mony of every traveller, there is no people so
generally poor as the Irish. In Ireland there
are few or no manufactures, and the Irish
coming over to England in swarms, settling in
all our manufacturing towns, have contributed
to beat down wages in England to the level of
wages in Ireland. When these facts are no-
torious, when the purely agricultural Irish are
not only extremely poor themselves, but the
cause of making the manufacturing Engli3h poor,
it really 'requires a front of brass in our
Tory writers to describe the manufactures
of England as the cause of our people's
distress. We do not accuse the Tory writers so

much of a desire to deceive, as of ignorance Of
the deceptions they practise. The fact, we be-
lieve, is, that the Tories have been so long accus-
tomed to speak of things as they wish to find
them, and as they think they ought to be, that
they have lost the power to discriminate between
the suggestions of their own fancy and actual
facts. They have talked themselves into a be-
lief that their laws and their rule must confer
blessings on mankind, and they therefore ascribe
all the miseries of the people to something else—
be it what it may—than to Tory enactments.

The article in another part of the Paper, on
" Cures of Deafness," taken from Chambers'
Journal, is full of interest. That weekly pub-
lication transferred from The Sun an account of
Dr. TURNBULL'S remarkable success in curing
many diseases hitherto considered incurable, and
at the same time contained some remarks of the
Editor, in which he described these cures as
unreal mockeries." We were rather surprised
to find in a journal which deserves the highest
praise for the good sense and intelligence which
pervades its columns, such a remark, and wil-
lingly attributed it to the weakness of human
nature and the prejudice which men who have
made a noise in the world generally entertain
against competitors. We are glad to find, how-
ever, that this was not the reason for the super-
cilious treatment of the " first merely human
being who caused the deaf to hear." The Edi-
tors of the Journal, as became honourable men,
have instituted a strict and laborious inquiry;
they have collected evidence from every quar-
ter whence they could get information, and so
convinced are they of the erroneous opinions
which they promulgated, that they have or-
dered that " not one other copy of the num-
bers containing these notices shall be given out
to the public, but that a new edition of
the numbers shall be prepared, from which
the notices in question, shall be omitted."
They further confirm their own opinions by the
evidence of persons who witnessed the operations,
and of many who were operated upon ; among
others, the late President of the Court of Ses-
sion, who says, " Dr. TURNBULL, did me all the
good he ever pretended lie could do, and that
benefit still continues." The profession, in ge-
neral, however, did not act so honourably, for
they either kept aloof, or threw every obstacle
in the way, affording another remarkable
proof of that cruel persecuting spirit which
would crucify every rival.

The non•patronage party in Scotland, com-
monly called the " Non-Intrusion " men, and
sometimes the " wild" men, have lately been
circulating reports of the favourable disposition
of Sir ROBERT PEEL and the Earl of ABER-
DEEN to their scheme of getting the
whole of the Kirk patronage into their
own hands. We never believed a word of
the statements, because the present Government
could not with any consistency or gratitude have
given additional power to that unfeeling section
of the Church which had cruelly deposed many
of the most worthy men on the Establishment,
and for their own selfish purposes had
thrown the whole religious community in
the north into the greatest confusion and dis-
may. The present Government may be bad
enough in sortie respects, they are guilty of
many delinquencies, but they never desert their
friends, and we, therefore, argued, as on a matter
of fact, that not only would the Strathbogie mi-
nisters be protected, but that means would be
adopted for depriving their persecutors of power
to do further mischief. The following letter
to certain Non-Intrusionists bears out our
statement, and will be a " heavy blow
and great discouragement" to CANDLISH,
CUNNINGHAM, and Co. It was sent as an
answer to certain parishioners, who wished to
take the patronage from the Crown, and confer
it on a party in the parish, instigated, no doubt
by some " Non-Intrusionist " minister :

Whitehall, Jan. 3, 1842.

SIR—I am directed •by Secretary Sir James Graham
to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the Ist inst.,
stating that you arc-requested by the parishioners of the
parish of Kettle, noiv- vacant by the death of the Rev.
Dr. Barclay, to inquire whether the Government will
allow the male • communicants to send up a list or choice
of four or five persons, and will give thti.presentation to
one of the persons ehosen by them ; and to inform you;
that Sir James Graham'does not require any. list of per-
sons, chosen by the parishioners in the vacant parish of
Kettle, to be sent to guide him in advising the Crown
as to the presentation of a minister.-11 am, Sir, your
obedient servant, _ _

(Signed) IT. MANNERS SVTTON.
Mr. Thomas Arnikit, Chapel, Kettle, Fife.

Letters and papers from Madrid of the Ist inst.
state that M. SALVANDY had not then left the
capital, and was still negotiating about the deli-
very of his credentials. He had received de-
spatches from his Government, approving of his
conduct, and ordering him to persevere till .he
received further orders from the KING, his
master. Upon this question, we quote the fol-
lowing excellent letter from Madrid, dated the
Ist inst., which is a triumphant answer to every-
thing which has been said by the French press
upon the subject:—
The old year has ended without bringing M. Sal-
vandy's quarretwith the Spanish Government to a con-
clusion. The new begins with it as its most interesting
feature. The question is still unsettled. M. Salvandy,
it is said, has received instructions from his Government
during the week, not indeed final, but looking upon his
conduct as in the right, and telling him to persevere in it
till he receives further orders. The Spanish Government,
on the other hand, 'will not yield, and indeed cannot do so
without a violation of the Constitution and all precedent.
The argument stands thus pretty much between them. 31.
Salvandy holds to his point that his credentials being
addressed to Queen Isabel, he will not present them to
the Regent. Were any other person than Espartero
Regent, he would, he says, act in the same way. He
ekes out his case by quoting the case of Cellarnar, the
Ambassador of Philip the Fifth of Spain, who insisted
and presented his credentials to Louis the Fifteenth of
France, then a minor *of five years of age, instead of de-
livering them to the French Regent, the Duke of Orleans.
To the first of these arguments, the 59th article of the
Spanish Constitution gives a triumphant reply. It dis-
tinctly states that the " Regency of Spain is to exercise
all the'authority of the .King, in whose name the acts of
the Government are to be published." If, therefore, the
receiving of Ambassadors be one of the attributes of a
Spanish Sovereign, so must it also be of a Spanish Re-
gent. With the Spanish people this view ,of the matter
must and will be held conclusive. They cannot compli-
ment it away without degradation. The historical in-
stance quoted by M. Salvandy is not less unhappy.
Philip of Spain, as everyone knows, was himself a can-
didate for the Regency and guardianship of Louis XV., in
opposition to his relative, the Duke of Orleans. It was
therefore natural that he would wish to offend the Duke
of Orleans• by instructing his Ambassador; Cellamar, to
present his credentials to the young King only. A more
inconclusive reference could scarcely, indeed, be made ;
nuaatis mutandig, it is Louis Philippe sending an
Ambassador to Madrid to annoy the Regent Espar-
tero. But, say the Spaniards, if historical citations of
this kind are to be valid, in the altered circumstances
of both nations, they might adduce the instance of the
French Ambassador Rotemburg, being obliged to go
upon his knees to beg pardon of Isabel Farnese, the
second wife of the same Philipe, who gave orders to
Cellamar not to deliver his credentials to any one but
the minor Louis XV. In modern precedents, as regards
the two countries, Spain has much the best of the argu-
ment. No less than five Ambassadors of France have
since the death of Ferdinand presented their creden-
tials to the. Regent of Spain. These were MM. Ray-
neval, Latour Mabourg, the Duke of Fezensac, Marquis
de Rumigny, and Mathieu de la Redorte. Not one of
these seems to have made any objection to presenting their
credentials to the Regent. But, remarks M. Salvandy, the
letters of these individuals were addressed to the Regent,
Maria Christina, not to Queen Isabel. True ; but it
could only have been as Regent that they were addressed
to that favoured lady. And again, why was there an
alteration made in the mode of directing these letters
V novr ? Espartero is Regent, if Maria Christina was so.
The same authorities precisely—namely, the representa-
tives of the nation, called the Cortes—made the ono and
the other Regents. Put this is not all. The converse
of the practice of France is equally against its present
proceeding. Not Only did the French Government per-
mit French Ambassadors to present their credentials to

Nay, did not Louis Philippe receive at his court Senor

deliver his ?

The French Journals of Friday and Saturday
dwell upon the diplomatic fracas between the
Courts of Russia and France. It is altogether a
very ridiculous business. The Liberal and. Mi-
nisterial papers having expressed their opinion
upon it, the Royalist journals bring up the rear,
but with a strong leaning on the side of the Auto-
crat. The Quotidienne says:—
M. Guizot, Professor of the Sorbonne, has believed and

said that M. de Pahlen left Paris to avoid having to ad-
dress the King on New Year's Day. This was a mal-
adresse in itself, and an engagement to commit a second ;
in fact, M. Guizot's journals have taken care to
inform us that M. Casimir Perier had received orders
not to appear on the occasion of the fete-day of the
Emperor. Now this was an aggression. A want of
taste led M. Guizot to an act of rudeness, and this unsea-
sonable affectation of pride has appeared. very singular
in a Minister who has so little susceptibility when the
national dignity is really concerned. Certain, however
it is, that M. de Kisseleff, by way of reprisal, received
orders to be ill on New Year's Day. In diplomacy, ad-
dress consists in believing in appearances, and acting as
if no belief was placed in them. M. Guizot, then, has
conducted himself . like the greatest novice among
diplomatists, for he has acted as if he believed that M.
de Pahlen left Paris for the purpose of offering a sort of
insult to Louis Philippe. The question has become.seri7
ous, for M. Guizot has commeneed•with reprisals of eti-
quette, and these ma}' lead to reprisals of politics. This
it is to confide the affairs of A great nation to starch pro-
fessors, who think it is very grand to disregard the cour-
tesies due from Government to Government, seven when
there is no attachment existing between them. It would
be a sad thing, however, to see France involvt A in a quar-
rel with Itussia, merely because M. Guizot had not tact
enongb to appear to place faith in the motives assigned
for the:departure of Vii. de Pahlen. In the old monarchy,
diplomacy was placed in the hands of men tutored, as it
were, to elegance, propriety, and dignity. In the present
day, the absence of these qualities is a recommendation,
and, therefore, M. Guizot is a Minister.
The Gazette de France regards the conduct of
Russia. as hostile to the KING personally,
.but
expresses no displeasure thereat. It briefly re-
marks :---

What is the use of such suppositions as to the causes
of the quasi-rupture between the Emperor Nicholas and
the Government of Louis Philippe ? It would seem to
us that for the last ten years the Emperor Nicholas has
been sufficiently candid for no person to mistake his
meaning. He has explained himself often enough, and
in plain terms, as to the nature of his antipathies. Every
body knows that these antipathies rest upon considera-
tions which are purely moral and personal.
The France, alluding to the article in the De-
bats, which appeared in The Sun of Saturday re-
commending the =recal of the French legation
from St. Petersbnrgh observes :
The difference between the two Cabinets is a puerile
one in appearance, but it is only the pretext of a long-
conceived resolution. Russia is of too much weight in
the balance of Europe for this war of reprisals not to
be followed by the recal of all that remains of the em-
bassy in Paris. This word, imprudently pronounced, may
produce consequences which it is easy to foresee.

And again the Quotidienne of Saturday, com-
menting on the same article in the Debats, has
the following :
The Emperor of Russia has his warning, lie has
only to recal his envoys. This would not be war, says
the Debuts, but merely rupture. We are beginning to
grow proud.

This is surely making the most of the personal
dislikes of two Monarchs. But then the Debella
contends that Louis PHILIPPE is France—that in
fact the KING and country are one and indivisible.
This is rather questionable doctrine to preach
one week after all the public functionaries in
France had congratulated his MAJESTY on his
escape for another year from the regicidal
bullets of his beloved subjects. In writing
about the identification of Louis PHILIPPE
and France, the Court organs ought to
carefully abstain from making people laugh.
The National has a long article on the treaty of
the great Powers for the suppression of the slave
trade, and the right of maritime search set up as
the most effectual means of putting an end to
this traffic. The National, like some other Paris
Journals, declares that, as far as England is con-
cerned, this display of humanity in favour of
the blacks is mere affectation, and that the real
motive of her conducts is the desire to keep up
and even increase her maritime superiority. The
National reminds its readers that in the last cen-
tury England entered into a treaty with Spain,
in which she stipulated for the monopoly of the
sale of all the negroes, in the Spanish colonies,
and reserved to herself the right of introducing
4,800 slaves at a fixed price per head annually.
" This," says the National, "is what England did

a hundred years ago;" and then it goes on to state
that her policy and her principles are unchanged,
and, therefore, that her philanthropy, at this
moment, is only put on to cover designs of
an ambitious nature. The National omits all

notice of the change which has come over the
people of England, on the subject of the slave-
trade, not merely within the last hundred, but
within the last thirty years, and that what thirty
years ago would have been eiilier legal, or was

permitted by custom, is now offensive to the
laws, and highly so to the feelings of the nation.

The National, overlooking this fact and the ar-

guments of the English slave abolitionists, that
the English Government is necessarily the organ,
on this question, of the feeling of the people of
England, says, "The English Government, in plac-
ing itself at the head of a crusade against the slave-
trade, has two objects in view, both in reference
to its interest. One is to destroy, for along
period at least, the cultivation of the productions
of the slave colonies, in order to compel con-
sumers, to receive them exclusively front India,
the other to usurp the sovereignty of the seas
by means of the right of maritime search."
The National then expresses its admiration of the

resistance to the principle of the right of search
which is made by the PRESIDENT of the United

America. The lVational does not,
•
Shota:'eesve7r,f Arn
bestow its censure exclusively On Eng-
land. It doubts the sincerity: of all the Govern-
ments which are in alliance. for the stippression
of the slave trade, and observes that 'astonishment
must be excited at this sudden tendernes4for the
blacks by States which allow their own white
thc poverty and wretchedness,
and which encourageto
ipinein
the traffic in human flesh
at home in the system of raising substitutes for
persons called upon to serve in the army. In
such a state of things, says the National, it is au-
thorised in regarding the philanthropic declara-
tions of the Governments which are associated
for the suppression of negro slavery as a mere
cloak of hypocrisy.
The Moniteur of Brussels states that an official com-
munication has been made to the Belgian Government
by the Belgian Consul at Alexandria, of an arrange-
ment made between Mehemet Ali and the English Com-.
pany, Called the Oriental and Peninsular Steam Packet
Company, without the intervention of the British Go-
vernment, for the conveyance of goods and passengers to
and from India through Egypt. It is to last for one
year, subject to renewal by consent of both parties, and
is (111 the following conditions :—Mehemet Ali engages
to build warehouses for goods and establishments for
passengers, at his expense, on the line from Suez to
Alexandria, for which the Company is to pay a sum to
be fixed at the end of the first year. The Pacha gua-
rantees the security of passengers and merchandise. The
free passage by Suez is granted to all other nations, but
without any privilege.

The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies on the
Address sat yesterday till five o'clock. The Ministers of
War and Finance attended to give explanations. The
Commerce says,—" It 'was stated in the Salle des Con-
ferences that the Committee heard with much complai-
sance the explanations of Marshal Soult as to keeping up
a costly and expensive list of commissioned and non-
commissioned officers, and that no member of the Com-
mittee bad remarked on a preceding which is in contra-
diction to his solemn promises. What we have heard,
however, leads us to hope that this expenditure, which
is ruinous to the treasury, and without profit to the
army, will not be allowed to escape without public dis-
cussion. M. Humann is said to have spoken for a long
time on the impossibility of establishing an equilibrium
between the receipts and the expenditure. It is said that
he was warmly questioned by H. M. Passy, and defended
by M. Lacave-Laplaeme. The Committee. will this day
