act of imprudence and injustice, which nothing but a •
compulsory law would ever cause them to commit.
The interference of Parliament in this case, therefore, '
is, they conceive, not only unnecessary, but unjust.
If, however, legislation is inevitable, it would be more
reasonable to restrict the age at which engine-men and
banks-men may begin to work, to fourteen years, to
allow females of a similar age to assist the banks-men,
and leave unrestricted and unlimited, the age at
which they shall cease.
The penalties for offences against the proposed Act
seem exorbitant, as compared with those under seve-
ral other Acts. From Si. to 101. are to be forfeited,
for violating the Ist, 2d, and 3d clauses, and from
201. to 50/. for violating the sth clause.
The coalowners cannot omit this opportunity of
referring to the Report and conclusions of the Com-
missioners for proof, that there is little in the trade
of mining injurious to health ; and much respectable
evidence may also be quoted to show, that the moral
condition of the miners is superior to that of the ma-
nufacturing operatives, and not at all inferior to that
of the agricultural labourers.
The mineral proprietors and workmen have unde-
servedly incurred great public odium, from the one
sided and ex parte statements, and extracts from the
reports, issued by the press—showing only the dark
side of the picture ; and they entreat Members of
Parliament not to legislate hastily on this subject, but
to allow time for the whole of the evidence to be di-
gested, and for the excitement, at present prevailing
in the public mind, to be allayed by counter statements
of the parties thus sought to be maligned and injured.
When, therefore, you consider the great extent of
this branch of industry—its importance as a main
source of our national wealth—the large amount of
capital embarked in it—the vast population employed
in, and dependent upon, its prosecution ;—when at the
same time you consider the moneyed and labouring in-
terests which are likely
.to be affected by your legis-
lation, and the positive injuries which will in many
cases be inflicted both on the employers and the em-
ployed ;—when you consider the present deeply dis-
tressed state of the country, and the future aggrava-
tion of that distress by the severe restrictions which
Lord Ashley's Bill, if carried, will impose upon the
freedom of labour ;—and, finally, when you consider
the hostile feeling manifested towards this Bill by the
very individuals whom Lord Ashley and his coad-
jutors intend to benefit (viz. the mining labourers
themselves), it is not unreasonable to hope that ample
time will be allowed for all the parties concerned, to
lay before Parliament their petitions and remon-
strances, and that the Bill, after its second reading,
may be referred to a Select Committee of the House
of commons, with a view of examining into the pro-
bable effects of its clauses, in order that interested
parties may be heard, and in order that the just claims
for compensation of capitalists most severely injured
by this proposed enactment, and of labourers curtailed
in their comforts by the interdiction of their work,
may be fairly and dispassionately considered.

VISIT OF THE DUKE OF
ORLEANS TO ST. OMER.

On Sunday next, the 26th inst., his Royal Highness has ex-
pressed his intention of visiting St. Omer, where we under-
stand a large camp has been assembled. In testimony of grafi-
tude for the magnificent ball given by his Royal Bigness when
last there, the. inhabitants have resolved to give a splendid
fete on Monday, the 27th inst., in honour of the Duke.
There will be a grand historical procession commemorative
of the entry of William Cliton, grandson of William the Con-
queror, in which upwards of bOO knights and men at arms,
dressed most rigorously in the costume of the period, will take
a part. Moreover, when the chatelains of Lille, Ghent,
Bruges, Bourbourg, &c., enter the town at ten o'clock, they
will escort the Countess of Guinea and her train of attendants.
The. Countess will be the Queen of Beauty and distributor of
pfzes at the tournament. Those of our readers who witnessed
the fete last year will be enabled toyudge what an improvement
to the present one will be a sprinkling of ladies dressed in the
costume of the day.
The whole of the procession will have entered the town at
twelve o'clock. At two they will start for the Bi uyere to
assist at the tournament, where raised platforms will be erected
capable of holding 10,000 persons. Those who attended the
tournament last year cannot have forgotten the splendour of the
,cene, nor the pleasure it afforded them. This year there will
be, in addition to the feats of arms of the last, encounters on
foot, with the battle-axe and broad-sword. The whole will be
wound up by a motley wai fare among the citizens, with the
quarter-staff. There will be al all at night, and a magnificent
display of fireworks. . We lather think such attractions will thin
our streets of all desirous of having a true idea of the manners
and dress of the middle ages, and of the amusements to which
they then devoted themselves. Judging from what we saw
last year, we should advise all, fond of sight-seeing to go and
enjoy the entertainment.--.Bolougne Gazette.

SPORTING.

I had intended this day to have given you a complete
list of the defaulters on the late Derby, with every parti-
cular relative to their proceedings. My better nature
prevails, and for the present I spare the culprits. Since
I last wrote on this subject one heavy account has been
settled at the rate of eight shillings in the pound—an un
derstanding being given, however, that should the rash
youth, whose youth alone is his miserable apology, ever
have the means, he is responsible for the residue. Under
the circumstances, perhaps the friends of this hero have
done all that could be expected. I have also heard, but
I can scarce believe the report, that Mr. Beales, between
the Derby and the settling day, sent for a friend, and
offered to put down five thousand pounds, if his creditors
would agree to wait and allow him to enter the yard at
Tattersall's and settle his account. The story goes, that
his friend thought the case so hopeless, so atrocious,
that he refused the summons..- How gladly do I catch at
the persuasion that such may have been the case, and how
gladly should I retract every offensive epithet I may have
connected with the name of this man. When you have
known a man some years, and become accustomed to re-
gard him as an honourable member of the society in
hich he moves, there is something very terrible at the
first discovery of
,your friend's disgrace ; you would fain
believe it impossible. Once, then, before it is too late,
do. I call upon you, Mr. Beales, to meet your liabilities
like a man ; you have won money upon the turf, are in
easy circumstances, and, for the credit of your family,
the honour of your name, do pray come forward, meet
your creditors, and, if you nay only half-a-crown in the
pound, it will be sufficient to prove that it never was
your intention deliberately to deceive alike friend and
foe, to involve your commissioner, to receive if you won,
to levant if you lost ; prove that this was not the case,
and your creditors will still meet you fairly, I will vouch
for it. One desperate case I shall never notice ; any
notice would be vain. I should as soon think of men-
tioning the outrageous ease that occurred last year when
Coronation won—which would have been avoided alto-
gether. by the by, had Gibraltar won the St. Leger.
Since writing the above, I observe that three more
names are adde by Tour reporter to his previous list. I
am of opinion that if any, all should be mentioned, and
all the particulars of each man's case, as some accounts
are still unsettled which, I fear, will prove " more hope-
less" than the selection advertised.

There has been plenty of racing at Newcastle, where,
to make up for his bad luck at Ascot, Scott has been
carrying all before him. I alluded -to the number of
horses left in the Northumberland Plate, trained by John
Scott, on Monday, and I thought it would be singular,
if, out of so many, one could not be found good enough
to win : he wins, however, in spite of himself, for I do
not hear that the winner was backed for a five pound
note. Cabrera did not appear ; the stake was not good
enough for him.
The Bibury meeting appears to have fallen off terribly ;
even with bringing forward the Stewards' handicaps they
could Lot obtain a good day's sport.
Mr. Thornton's action versus the Jockey Club, comes
on next week, and several gentlemen have been sub-
poenaed as witnesses.
Fifty horses have accepted for the Goodwood Stakes,
but I must speak of this on Monday. JUDEX.

SHIPWRECK of the TRANSPORT
SHIP SIR GEORGE ARTHUR.
(From the Bermuda Royal Gazette of June 7.)
The hired transport ship Sir George Arthur, with
stores fur Government, and 80 convicts for the Hulks at
her Majesty's Naval Yard, under the medical charge of
Mr. I. Williams, struck en the rocks at the west end of
these islands, about eleven o'clock on the night of
Thursday last. The weather at ho time being
very boisterous, she was driven over the outer reefe
by the force of the sea, where she let go her anchor.
Signal guns were fired on board, and blue lights burned.
which were observed from the shore, when a number of
boats from Somerset, notwithstanding the tempestuous
weather and heavy rain falling at the time, pushed off
to her assistance, many ofwhich were compelled to return,
or seek shelter, owing to the very heavy weather, and a
swell occasioned by a strong south-west wind. The termi-
nation of the Sir George Arthur's voyage was truly distres-
sing, but not more so than the painful suspense the pas-
sengers were kept in during the latter part of the voy-
age, occasioned by the mutinous proceedings of 11 of the
crew (who are now in prison at her Majesty's naval yard)
in refusing to do, duty, cud who were consequently
placed in confinement, leaving the vessel to the mercy of
the convicts, whom they likewi ,e endeavoured to incite
to revolt, but without success ; and the ship was worked
the remainder of the voyage by the very men who were
placed on board as prisoners, expressing their determi-
nation "to take the ship in safety to her port of desti-
nation as far as we are capable." We trust that
the good conduct of these men will not be overlooked,
and that they will be rewarded as they deserve. The
Captain latterly became ye ry intemperate, and almost
incapable of doing duty, and was in a great measure the
Cause of the loss of the ship. He and the mate refused
to come on shore with the others from the vessel, and
during the night of Fridayboth disappeared, along with
the longboat ; it is feared they have met with a watery
grave.
We are concerned to learn that the Rev. Dr. Mallet
lost much valuable furniture and other articles ; and, the
other passengers suffered severely by similar losses.
The Government stores, or the greater part of them,
will be saved, and much of the hull and rigging. The
Passengers were the Rev. Dr. Mallet and Mrs. Mallet,
Mr. I. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. G. Kirkham. The Sir
George Arthur was out 48 days from Portsmouth
(England).

THE SLAVE TRADE.
RUSSIAN UKASE.

ST.PETEILSBU MAY 27.—His Majesty the Emperor has
issued to the Directing Senate the following ukase, relative to
the suppression of the slave trade ;
" Our illustrious predecessor and dearly beloved brother of
glorious memory, at the most memorable period of his ever
glorious reign, when the congress of monarchs assembled in
Vienna established the new basis for the political relations of
the European Powers, did then recognise, and, in accordance
with his allies, solemnly declare, that the branch of commerce
known by the name of the African Slave Trade had by the
virtuous and enlightened of all times beenjustly regarded as op-
posed to the principles of philanthropy and the laws of public
morality ; and that nothing but the peculiar circumstances
under which this trade originated, and the difficulty of
suppressing it without preparatory measures. could have
served, in a certain degree, as an apology for the
continuance of as odious a traffic. Ad the sovereigns
of Europe who signed the treaty of Paris, Moy 18 (30), 1814,
have thereby made it their duty to co-operate in common, and
by all the means in their power, for the suppression of this
traffic on all points of the earth. Notwithstanding their
earnest wish for the attainment of an object so important, they
have, however, for the sake of the interests of their respective
subjects, from deference to existing usages, and even to pre-
judices deeply rooted for centuries, retrained from attempting,
by anticipation, to determine the time when each Power would
find it possible and convenient formally to prohibit the slave
trade. It is better to leave the final fi ration of that period to
direct negotiations between the Courts.
" Since the issuing of this declaration the slave trade has
been prohibited by almost all the nations of Europe and Arne
rica, and tt present especial treaty has b, en con:luded between
us and their Majesties the Empel or of Austria, the King of
the French, the Queen of Great Britain, and the King of
Prussia, with respect to the most effectual tneastir,!s to be
adopted for preventing the secret prosecution of the said trade.
" By this treaty it is determined not merely to prohibit (or
to renew the prohibition) the respective subjects of the con-
trat:iingPer
On the slave trade within the
possessions,oowrusnditni the erfiyaging
flags, of the sail Powers, or by capi-
tals or ships, to participate therein, directly or ind rectly, in
any way whatever; but it is moreover provided that every at-
tempt for the renewal or prosecution of that trade shall be held
equivalent to the crime of piracy, and that all vessels therein
engaged shall forfeit every right of protection which the flags
of any one of the contracting Powers might otherwise secure to
them. Having sanctioned all the dispositions of the said treaty,
we order that henceforth every individual legally convicted of
carrying on the slave trade, or either directly or indirectly in
any manner participating therein, shall be sent before the legal
tribunal, and made liable tui the punishment prescribed by our
laws against piracy.
" The Directing Senate will take care to provide the neces-
sary measures for the execution of this ukase.
