notice of the Sheriffs, and in preventing the increase of crime, need
only to be more generally known to ensure for it a warmer interest
in the minds of the benevolent, and more extensive means of use-
fulness.
Since the establishment of the Central Criminal Court, the neces-
sity of this fund has been more urgently felt ; criminals are now
brought for trial to Newgate, not only from all parts of London and
Middlesex, bat also from the crowded and populous parts of Essex,
Kent, and Surrey, adjoining to the metropolis. The prisoners in
Newgate, in Giltspur-street, and in Whitecross-street, Prisons, are
all under the care of the Sheriffs ; and in Newgate alone there were
confined upwards of 3,000 persons during the past year.
It would be impossible to reconnt all the claims made upon them,
so numerous are they, and so varied in character.
Some appeal to their commiseration, having been unjustly charged
or committed awn evidence which has not satisfied the grand jury
that there was case enough to send them to trial, and have conse-
quently ignored the bills presented against them; others for slight
offences have had a short imprisonment awarded to them, but it has
nevertheless been long enough to alienate friends, and to deprive the
offender of the shelter of a home ; others have only wanted a few
shillings to enable them to return to their relatives in the country,
or to purchase tools or implements of their trade, or a few articles of
decent attire, in order to obtain employment on their liberation,
which they would otherwise have been unable to procure, had it not
been for the bounty of the Sheriffs. The frequency of these claims
renders it impos-able for the Sheriffs themselves to bear them en-
tirely, and they therefore call upon the public, whose almoners they
will gladly be, to assist them in this work of benevolence.
And the Sheriffs beg especially to call the attention of the public
to the Permanent Fund of this Society ; to impress the necessPy of
establishing an Asylum for the shelter and reformation of hopeffil
cases of female offenders. A House of Mercy it might be well
called, where the penitent and youthful offender might find a shelter
and a home. It is only by the operation of an asylum that there is
any probability of checking the career of crime once entered upon.
As soon as a young female enters the walls of a prison her doom is
too often sealed—her character is blasted—she is deprived of that
which alone can enable her to earn an honest livelihood—spurned by
her friends, or perhaps ashamed to let them know of her disgrace,
where can she turn ? And it is well known to many that there are
characters of the worst description constantly prowling about the
walls of a prison, awaiting the discharge of hapless girls so circum-
stanced, only to entice them to the commission of fresh crime, or
to allure them to a life of degradation and misery, by offering them
that shelter and sympathy which is denied them by the rest of the
world. In such an establishment the sincerity of the apparently pe-
nitent offender might be tested ; many might be restored to their
friends ; and others, by proper instruction and after due probation,
might be fitted for future usefulness, and become respectable mem.
hers of society.

We, the undersigned, William H. Colquhoun, Advocate, Sheriff-
Se bstitute of Inverness-shire, and John Mackenzie, banker in In•
ye mess, were appointed a Deputation to solicit Subscriptions in Lon-
(l,y, i, in aid of the proposed Asylum.

Ind being now arrived here, in pursuance of our mission, we beg
leave to send you some particulars regarding the proposed establish-
it, In the hope that you will be pleased to give it the benefit of
ye; re support by contribution or otherwise, Under that impression,
We vill do ourselves the honour of waiting on you, in a day or two,
,to leu'n your determination ; but should we be so unfortunate as not
to have an opportunity of seeing you personally, we hope yon will be
kind enat 'gh to favour us with your views, to the above address, on
Or before 2th instant.

The priclary object of the projected Institution is the accommoda-
tion of paupar lunatics, and of other lunatics in poor circumstances,
in the northern counties of Scotland, which comprise an extent of
. surface equal to one-third of all Scotland, and have a population of
about 250,000. Yet, with the exception of a very few cells attached
• to the infirmary at Inverness, there is not any provision made in all
- this wide district for the secure confinement or medical treatment of
• the insane, the poorer classes of whom, amounting in number to up-
wards of 700, are left in a state of wretched destitution, either burden-
some to their poor relatives and paralysing their industry, or roam-
ing about the country in search of a precarious subsistence—pitiable
'on account of their calamity, often alarming and dangerous to the
immunity from their furious conduct, at once the disgrace, the in-
...lacy, and the terror of the country.
To abate this crying evil, this heart-sickening and frightful neglect
and destitution, it is proposed to erect at Inverness, as the most
•central and convenient point, an Asylum for pauper lunatics, and for
other lunatics in poor circumstances belonging to the northern coun-
ties. As a subsidiary and ulterior measure, provision will be made
for the addition afterwards of apartments for richer classes of patients.
The funds for this purpose can only be obtained by the voluntary
contributions of such benevolent persons as are interested in the wel-
fare of the wide district of country referred to, or in the mitigation of
_human suffering generally. It is estimated that at least 8,0001. will
:.,e required to erect the in cessary buildings, and to form a fluid for
Zile permanent endowment of the Institution. Already considerable
)rogress has been made, principally in the North of Scotland, in pro-
curing subscriptions ; and hopes are confidently entertained that
with 3letropolitan, and perhaps Colonial aid, the necessary thuds
will be obtained to secure this invaluable boon for the poor, and re-
move one of the worst blots on the humanity of our countrymen.
The rules for the government of the Institution will be of course de-
termined at a general meeting of the Subscribers, and will be sub-
mitted to them on principles fitted to secure a liberal and efficient
system of management, comprehending the chief official funtionaries
of the district, but giving to the Subscribers due and ample powers of
control and recommendation.

We are, respectfully,
Your very obedient servants,

BURGESS' .ESSENCE of ANCHOVIES.
Warehouse, 107, STRAND, corner of the Savoy-steps, London,
JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous en-
deavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their
ma ke, feel it incumbent on them to request the attention of the
public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original to ob-
serve the Name and Address correspond with the above. The genes
ral appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the un-
guarded ; and, for their detection, J. B. and Son, submit the following
cant ons:—N.ome are in appearance at first sight, " the genuine," but
'without same or address ; some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies,"
sand others " Burgiss's ;" and many more without address. John
;burgess and Son, having been many years honoured with such dis-
tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the
public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to
purchasing what they conceive to be of their make, which they hope
will prevent many disappointments.

BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such
great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom
mended as a most useful and convenient sauce ; will keep good in all
.climates.

Sir,—For the last three or four years lhave been labouring under
a .nervous deafness, so much so at times as to be almost incapable of
hewring. After trZing several very eminent aurists, from whom I de-
rived scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend,
to try your excellent Eye Snuff. I accordingly procured one of your
4s. 4d. canisters, atter taking which I found considerable benefit, so
much so that I sent for two more, which, having used, I found my
,hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf since. 'should

T HE, ENGLISH IN CHINA.
The following is an extract from a letter dated Hong
Kong, March 6, 1845 :

" You will be pleased to hear that opium can no longer
involve us in China. It is openly admitted at every
port, and carried about the streets. In fact, it is legalised
, to all intents and purposes, but they are ashamed to
, publish it. The trade of Canton for the past year
exceeded all previous experience, notwithstanding
the other four ports, and the Emperor gained
a revenue of 250,000 dollars from that port alone.
At Shanghai 38 ships are recorded during 1844. The
impetus given to our cotton manufactures is very great,
and the demand yet unsupplied. As for this colony,
it is getting on at a miraculous pace ; houses and
streets spreading in all directions, and still house-
rent extravagantly dear. We have now delightful
weather, much superior to an English winter. The
unhealthiness of this island is beginning to be found
a hoax. The drunken soldiers die, as they do in all
hnt climates, fevered with spirits and debauchery ;
but as for the civil part of the community, the
colonial surgeon has returned 367 cases with only nine
deaths, in his report of six months' practice. Such a pro
portion might be exceeded in England. Our barracks
were sickly, and our gaol perfectly healthy. British
sovereignty is zealously established over the Chinese of
this colony, and they are so well contented with it as to
flock over with their wives and families, which gives usp
better population than at first, now increased to 30,000.
Three Chinese robbers (with weapons) were condemned
to death by our Supreme Court, when they com-
mitted suicide by hanging themselves in the prison.
These men had robbed attempted to murder some
of their own countrymen, and not Europeans. Whilst
at Macao, for twenty four hours, to collect plants and
trees and vine cuttings for the colony, the Governor was
attacked by three robbers while walking along in plain
clothes, just outside the town. They fled on seeing some
other Englishmen approaching, so he was happily
neither hurt nor robbed, though one of the rascals had a
knife in his possession. In Hong Kong we have put
an end to robberies by our English jurisdiction."

PROHIBITORY IMPORT DUTIES

ON GOODS IN MOROCCO.

The following extracts from a letter received at
Lloyd's yesterday, from their agent at Gibraltar, will
be found interesting :
" The new tariff seems to have been most injudiciously
considered, inasmuch as the same rates are to be levied
on all kinds of cotton and woollen piece goods, without
reference to their respective qualities, and the same
system is to be Observed also, with regard to goods
usually imported by weight, so that 55. or 21s. sterling
will be charged in a quintal of copperas and other goods
of very little value."
" It is, however, considered not improbable that when
the Emperor finds that the augmentation of duties only
tends to lessees the receipts of the Customs, that he will
be induced to alter the new system. The British mer-
chants here trading to Barbary are making a representa-
tion to the Board of Trade—which, I trust, will obtain
the favourable consideration of her Majesty's
Govern-
ment. Similar remonstrances from the mercantile
in-
terests in England would materially strengthen the
memorial from this quarter.
(Signed) "By Lloyd's Agent.

dollar per cwt., will now pay five dollars or about 50 per

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING JUNE 16, 1815.

precedents in limine. The successful diplomacy of Sir
HENRY POTTINGER is in itself, its results, and their in-
fluences, amply sufficient to constitute and found a pre-
cedent. One of the most remarkable events in modern
history has been, undoubtedly, the establishment of
commercial and diplomatic relations between China
and this country ; and, through this country, with
other States and nations possessing European institutions
and civilisation. When the trade which has been opened
through Sir HENRY POTTINGER'S admirable tact, spirit,
and management, between Great Britain and so many
points in the Chinese empire, shall have gradually as •
sumed that method, and organised those relations which
it will ere long attain, there can be no doubt that as the
demands and acquirements of those Asiatic markets
become better ascertained and skilfully provided for, an
immense expansion of our trade with China itself, the
islands of the Indian Archipelago, and the vast coun-
tries lying to the east and south of the Bay of Bengal,
will speedily take place. There is no greater benefactor
to his countrymen than a British functionary who multi-
plies the resources, and secures the permanency, of their
commerce. As a public benefactor in this invalu-
able and distinguished class, no man has done
more signal service, for ages past, than Sir
HENRY. How few have rendered the commonwealth
as much ! It is unnecessary, however, to elaborate a pro •
position which men of all parties and opinions without he-
sitation concede. The question then arises, what shall
be the amount of the acknowledgment wherewith a
grateful country shall reward so eminent a public
servant ? Sir HENRY POTTINGER appears to have too
entirely identified himself with his mission—to have too
spiritedly and disinterestedly devoted all his energies
and means to the conduct, maintenance, and successful
completion of his remarkable negotiations with the
Chinese government, to have been likely to derive pecu-
niary advantages from his position, had its appointments
been twice as liberal as they were. Besides, his labours
being ended, he is left without any continuing salary or
payment of any kind. It would seem that he has little
or no patrimonial fortune at all to fall back upon. In
short we cannot conceive strongler claims upon the public
generosity, a more meritorious person, or services more
nationally important.
Now what is the annuity for this eminent man's life,
which the Minister advises the Crown to recommend to
Parliament to grant ? Let us premise that Sir HENRY'S
protracted residence in China, and his endurance of ex-
traordinary bodily fatigue, combined with the incessant
pressure of severe mental anxiety, have seriously im-
paired, as we understand, his health—a circumstance not
to be overlooked in appreciating the value of the an-
nuity to be granted—namely, 1,500/. a year, limited to
his own life. This does appear to our apprehension a
very inadequate amount of reward. It is obviously no
sort of measure of, bears no reasonable proportion to, the
services performed. That is an unavoidable incident in
these cases which we may regret, but cannot hope to
remedy. In the nature of things, national acknowledg-
ments of this kind can be but testimonial rewards,
not equivalents. But we have a perfect right to try the
amount of this annuity by that of other testimonial re-
wardsin specific cases. Let us take the analogy ofpensions
granted for civil and diplomatic services. It is not near
so much as some of the pensions we perceive to be en-
joyed by those who have filled other, but surely not
more important embassies. It is only 3001. a-year more
than after, we forget how many, or, rather, how few
years' service, the holders of civil offices, such as Secre-
taries to the Treasury, Chancellors of the Exchequer,
Paymasters of the Forces, &c., become entitled for life.
If we mistake not, Mr. GOULBURN himself, prior
to his last taking office, enjoyed a pension of this
kind, of between 1,2001. and 1,5001. per annum, and this
he will return to on laying down office. Writing s

from memory, we believe that a brother of the Pre-
mier's, no longer in office, is still in the receipt of a
civil pension of much the same kind. Can it be gravely
meant to put the services of Mr. GOULBURN on a level
with those of Sir H. POTTINGER ? If Mr. GOULBURN'S
pension be 1,2001., should Sir H. POTTINGER'S on any
principle, whether of equivalent or testimonial reward,
be but 300 L per year more ? But on the lists of those
pensions there are recipients of equal sums, whose
official services can by no means compete with those even
of Mr. GOULBURN. Is a man like Sir H. POTTINGER
to be classed in the same category as to official pensions
with those men ? But let us take another case of mili-
tary service. The late General Sir JOHN KEANE, one
of the luckiest soldiers of fortune, to be sure, who ever
secured the good opinion of the most sagacious and most
renowned commander of his age, led the first British
army which entered the territories north-west of the
Indus. It is true that that army was eminently success-
ful in its operations ; but with a most frightful and im-
provident sacrifice of human life, of beasts of burden,
commissariat stores, &c. There were no positions
secured—no facilities established in the event of a re-

Lord, the responsibility of the Imperial Legislature for
having so long permitted so vast an evil to remain with-
out a remedy—if the extent of the destitution pervading
so large a portion of North Britain was known in
official quarters—the remissness of such authorities in
not having before brought the matter under legislative
consideration, seems all but unpardonalle. If the know-
ledge of such destitution had not, previously to the Lord
Advocate's moving in the matter, yet reached these
official departments, that fact tells seriously against
the vigilance as well as the efficiency with which they
are administered. But, in either case, we think it hard
to withhold from the Lord Advocate the mewl of
praise and good desert for haring, however tardily,
grappled at last with a state of things disgraceful to the
Government, and dangerous to the vital interests of any
nation in which it is suffered to exist. Because we
appreciate the magnitude of the suffering, to be miti-
gated, and of the destitution to be provided for,
we cannot concur in the unsparing censure directed
by some of our Contemporaries against the
first organised attempt to accomplish objects so wise and
duties So imperative. The very circumstance that he
opens a path which his predecessors ought never to have
allowed to be closed--a highway of equitable public
charity, which ought never to have been permitted to
grow out of " customary resort," and to fall into bitch
desuetude as to require the authority of new statutes to
re-open it ;—this very circumstance should excuse the
Learned Lord if he halt and hesitate somewhat on his
new effort to retrace the ancient courses through
which the humanity of the old law was wont to
distribute succour to those who could no longer
succour themselves ; for there is a very strict
analogy between the old custom or traditionary
law, of which the system of relief practically adopted
affords us occasional glimpses, and the new scheme of
poor-law which the Lord Advocate has brought forward.
We should have thought that with Scotchnaen generally
this assimilation of the modern scheme to the ancient
principle would, in itself, have formed a considerable
recommendation of the plan. In saying this, we are by
no means insensible to the defects of that plan. It may
in many particulars, be obnoxious to the objection taken
by Mr. PATRICK STEWART, in his usual pithy and
epigrammatic manner—that it is a Poor Bill, good for
lairds and heritors, bad for the presumed pauper
recipients of the assessments upon them. It
may even be chargeable with the deficiencies
which Mr. COLQUHOUN has noted in it, or with some of
those inherent vices which have made it utterly un-
palatable to other of the Scottish Members. But since
none of those Honourable Gentlemen—not even Mr.
RUTHERFORD or Mr. F. MAULE—dispute the enormity
of the abuses which have crept into the system—or "no
system" of relieving the poor of Scotland, as it now ex-

ists—since none attempt to argue that any machinery
already exists adequate to the repression of these abuses,
now, or to their prevention hereafter—why will they
discourage the commencement of a remedial system ?
Because the measure of the Lord Advocate does not go
far enough, are they unwilling that it should be put in
motion at ally? Because some of its details are deemed
to be objectionable, shall no trial be made of the
great principles which they form but the means of
carrying out into execution? You admit the disease;

you invoke a remedy. Because the remedy at its first
concoction is unpalatable to some of those interested in
its exhibition, is the disease to remain unarrested? Is it
to be contended that the desperate condition of the patient
had better be suffered to determine in hopeless, irreme-
diable disease, rather than subject it to a treatment which
no one denies would arrest its progress, though it might
not, alone, re-establish the sufferer? Why, the condi-
tion of the Scottish pauper is miserable; he is a sufferer
in the most fearful sense of the term; his malady, social
and physical, does demand instant lenitives, if you are
not ready with a radical cure ; there is but one stage
beyond that which the privation and wretchedness

incident to the neglect in which he has too long
been left to pine ; and that is—death. Shad
we quarrel with a prompt restorative because it is not a
certain and complete specific—or deny him the benefit
of its administration, because it is tendered by hands
shrewdly suspected to be those of lairds and heritors ?
Why, the case is that of suffering and privation, which,
it it is to be relieved at all, must be relieved at once.
Therefore we concur with Mr. ComiuuouN in dissent-

treat ; and the General tarnished his own reputation by
something like mean and unworthy jealousy manifested
in his conduct towards the lamented and gallant Colonel
DENNIS, and still more by his un-Britishlike acquies-
cence in the barbarous and wholesale murders perpe-
trated in cold blood by our infamous ally
SCHAH SOOJAU, on his prisoners in a memorable
instance which Mr. HUME vainly endeavoured to bring
under the notice and reprobation of the House of Com-

mons. Sir JOHN, however, obtained the incrediblere-
ward of the honours of the Peerage, and 2,0001. per
year for his own and two lives. There is as little com-
parison between any services that were rendered to his
country by the military career of the late Lord KEANE
and the signal benefits which the diplomatic exertions of
Sir HENRY POTTINGER have secured for it, as there can
be between the character, the intellect, and attainments
of the mere soldier, and the statesman-like capacity
and enlightened benevolence of the accomplished diplo-
matist. Will the Legislature be indeed content to give
a less income to Sir HERRY POTTINGER for his own life,
than it decreed to Lord KEANE for two lives ? We
trust that it will show a better appreciation of pri-
vate character, personal talents, and public merits.

ing altogether from Mr. HUME'S proposition (at the
close of a good speech, however, in support of the prin•
ciple), to let the measure tide over till next session.
There is no country in the world of which the poor, from
their generally industrious, orderly, sober and frugal
habits, their willingness to labour and their cheerfulness
in enduring toil, are better entitled to all the considera-
tion which poor-laws can secure for them in helplessness
and sickness, infirmity, age, or want of em-
ployment, than the poor of Scotland. Our
humble but earnest advice, then, to Scottish

Members generally is—make a beginning, at all events.
Reform that scandal on all parties justly blameable for

The question put by Mr. LABOUCEIERE in the House of
Commons to Sir ROBERT PEEL, relative to Spanish
slave•grown sugar, and the reply of the Right Hon. Ba-
ronet, open up questions of the first importance, not to
the commercial interest only, but to the whole of our in-
dustrious population. The Spanish Government, it ap-
pears, claims under the treaty of Utrecht, and we believe
also of subsequent treaties, the right of importing into
the United Kingdom the sugars of Cuba and
Porto Rico at the most favoured rate of duty.
There is no doubt at all that the application had been
made, for it was admitted by Sir ROBERT PEEL, and we
are inclined to think there is as little doubt of the fact
that such treaties are in existence. The Minister did
not attempt to deny it—he merely said that no answer
had yet been given to the application. When these
treaties were made the feeling which prevails among
certain classes in this country against slave-
grown sugar was not in existence. All
the sugar imported at those periods from British co-
lonies was produced by the labour of slaves—the

slave trade itself was carried on by Liverpool, Bris-
tol, and other sea-ports, to an enormous extent, and
it never could enter into the head of any Minister to
propose to Spain that sugar of this kind should be
made an exception, when it was admitted from our
own colonies as a matter of course, and without one word
being uttered against it by the only party who took
an interest in the question—the abolitionists of the
slave trade. Even WILBERFORCE, with all his philan-
thropy, and all his generous enthusiasP3 in the sacred
cause, hesitated long before he would pass the limit
which he had prescribed to himself—the simple abolition
of the slave trade
; and it was not till many years after
the conclusion of treaties with slave-holding states that
the noble, the vast, and ultimately the successful, scheme
was proposed for the complete emancipation of our
slave population. But there is another fact which
strengthens our view of the question at issue. Slave-
grown sugar has within these few months been admitted
into this country from Venezuela and New Orleans—
the former essentially a Spanish colony—in virtue
of ancient treaties. It amounts then to all but a
certainty that Cuba and Porto Rico were not made
exceptions, and the answer of Sir ROBERT PEEL
implies as much ; for had any doubt on the subject
existed in his mind, he could not, with any propriety,
have concealed the circumstance. When we consider
the vast quantities of sugar raised in these colonies, such
a fact is of the most vital importance merely in a trading
point of view, without taking into account the
West India interest, the revenue, and the good
of the public at large. On the last ground
we hail thii prospect of relief to our hard-working popu-
lation with unfeigned satisfaction. The refusal of this
country to admit sugar raised by slaves would not, in
the slightest degree, abate slavery ; and why should
Englishmen alone suffer, and suffer, too, in an attempt
which never can be realised ?

its existence, the present condition of your unfortunate
paupers. Don't be driven off the true and legitimate
object you are bound to keep in view, by statements and
counter-statements of irrelevant matters, criminatory
and recriminatory, about the clearance of the Suther-

land estates in 1815, or even more recent processes of
wholesale ejectment. Try this experiment of an amended

poor-law, taking care that it be free from the despotic
abominations that attach, or have attached, to that
which we have had so often to cobble for England and
Wales, if this attempt of the Lord Advocate do not

fully answer—realise, in the first place, all the good it
can be made to yield ; and in the second, carefully
mature all future improvements, which careful observa-

tion, during the experienco of the term you may choose
to allot for the experiment, may show to be necessary,
when the period arrives for revising it.

We record in another part of the paper the particu-
lars of a very interesting scene which lately took place
at Ilimbay, interesting not only on account of the ac-
complishment of a noble work constructed chiefly for the
benefit of the lower classes in that part of India, but for
tie erc-ungement, es far as honours can go, it gives
rative princes and merchants to improve their country
and ally themselves with rulers who, notwithstanding
some egregious faults, not to say crimes of their ser-
vants, have conferrred inestimable blessings on India.
The scene, which took place in April last, was at the
inauguration of the great causeway constructed fur
uniting the islands of Bombay and Salsette, and thereby
forming a safe and useful communication between the
populous towns of Alahim and Bandora. The whole
undertaking was completed at the expense of a private
individual, the lady of Sir JAMSETJEE JEJEEI3HOY, well
known in this country for his generous deeds and his
patriotic spirit, and for which, the SOVEREIGN was
pleased to confer on him the honour of knighthood.
This causeway, rivalling in many respects a Roman
road, cost, with the approaches, the stun of 167,000
rupees, or about 16,500 L, and was appropriately thimen
after its munificent founder—to be a memorial in after
ages of the gratitude of the Indian Government, and of
the patriotic spirit displayed by the wife of a native
merchant of Bombay. The eulogium pronounced by Si,
GEORGE ARTHUR, the splendid military ceremony,
and the studied honours conferred on these two indivi-
duals, in presence of a vast population, were all well-
timed and well-merited.

We have intelligence from Madrid to the 6th inst.
The great topic of conversation was the abdication of
Don CARLOS, an event which seems to be viewed by all
political parties, except the Absolutists, with the greatest
suspicions. A general belief prevails, that an arrange-
ment has been come to between the Court of
Spain, in other words the Camarilla, and the
Carlists, that the QUEEN is to be married to
the Prince of ASTURIAS, and the old system
of absolute Government restored. The public feeling
we believe to be correctly expressed by the Clamor
Publico. In adverting to the proclamation of the Prince
to the Spanish nation, that journal says:—" Those
flowers cover an abyss; behind that manifesto lurk
a restoration and despotism, with hatreds and resent-
ments that have brooded for ten years. A restoration is
the greatest calamity that can befal a nation. We
impatiently await the decision of the Government, and
hope that it will reject that monstrous alliance."
The QUEEN made her entrance into Barcelona on the
sth, amidst the applause of a vast concourse of people.
General NARVAEZ accompanied her MAJESTY, but
MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA remains at Madrid, either ill or
feigning to be ill. The Funds continue greatly de-
pressed.

The Three per Cents. c!osed at 31-1-, for cash, and

In the French Chamber of Peers a discussion of some
interest took place on the 11th relative to the Jesuits.
On the introduction of the Supplementary Credits' Bill,
the Count DE MONTALEMBERT took occasion to defend
the Jesuits, whom he identified with the Catholic Church,
denounced the treatment they received at the hands of
the Government, and instanced several countries, even
Protestant countries, such as Holland and England, were
they were more humanely dealt with. The Minister of
Justice, in reply, said "he could not allow the comparison
instituted by the Noble Peer between France and Eng-
land to pass unnoticed. Undoubtedly England was
playing a glorious part at present, but could he not ex-
claim with all who heard him, 'Honour to France

The second reading. of the Poor-law Amendment
(Scotland) Bill—though we could have wished that it
had passed through that stage with a less manifestation
of opposition—forms, in our opislion, an important epoch
in the social history of modern Scotland. The Lord
Advocate has really, in no respect, exaggerated the
extreme bodily sufferings, the terrible privations, the
domestic misery of paupers, especially such as are aged
and impotent in that country ; and surely, if the facts
established a case but of one-half of the intensity of that
exhibited in the fearful pictures traced by the Learned

honour to our Charter, which dispenses with our being
obliged to act as England does 1' France was far above
the fine example given by the neighbouring country—
France posses..,ied institutions which had proclaimed
liberty of worship, and which preserved her for ever
from having to manifest generosity or commiseration
for the religion of the minority." He then
slowed the character of the Jesuits, sketched
the union that existed between the Church and State
three years back, and the present comparative anarchy,
and argued that the change was chiefly attributed to the
schemes of the Jesuits. He alluded to the claims set
forth by the Jesuits to take part in the education of
youth, and stated how the Chambers had risen to prevent
it, showed how the Jesuits had contrived to unite with
bishops, and to induce them to make common cause with
their body. He concluded by declaring that the Govern-
ment would proceed firmly in the accumpli,hment,
of the mission en! rusted to their car,, and toe strong

common sense of the public would show who was right.
His speech was followed by loud mArks of approbation.
The Chamber bad passed the Bill for arming the fortifi-
cations of Paris by a majority of 98 to 18. In the De-
puties the Budget was still under consideration. The
papers announce the death of the Countess MAE, which
