My dear one lies in distant lands, he ne'er may come again.
Mother ! I sink—l faint—l die—my hope, my life is o'er."
" Yes, faint, my child I and die, my child ! thy lover comes no
more."

LITERATURE.

CABINET HISTORY OF

ENGLAND. By

Charles Mac Farlane.

Vol. VII.

The present volume contains the history of the
latter part of the reign of Henry VIII., of the whole
of Edward VI., and of the commencement of Mary.
The history of the reign of Henry VIII. is the most
accurate account which has yet appeared of the events
of that interesting period. The recently discovered
extensive collections of the " State Papers " of that
period have afforded Mr. MacFarlane materials which
were not within the reach of his predecessors, and of
which he has known well. how to avail himself. The
style is manly and perspicuous, and the history is
written in a spirit of benevolent charity which is be-
yond all praise. The following reflections, on the
death of the unfoitunate Catherine Howard, are well
warthy of serious attention :
The Protestants were as ready to believe in the guilt
of the Papist Catherine Howard, as the Papists had
been to believe iu the guilt of the PrAestant Anne
Boleyn. Since the triumph and firm establishment of
the rformed doctrines, sympathy and admiration have
been incessantly demanded for the unfortunate mother of
Queen Elizabeth, but no Protestant tears have been shed
for the still more hapless Catherine Howard. Yet an
attentive examination of documents, contemporary his
tories, and traditions, will convince every impartial mind
that the frailties and guilt of Catherine were no more
substantiated and proved than were the guilt and frailties
of Anne, and that, in the case of both ladies, the tyrant
and, his slaves bade defiance to all law and justice. A
living. and distinguished Roman Catholic historian turns
Anne Boleyn into a wanton, and Catherine into an in-
nocent martyr. Alas ! for the slow progress of truth and
impartiality ! Are these and other historical subjects of
still greater weight always to be treated of with the
same angry passions and, the same wilful blindness to
evidence ? Is prejudice to hold for ever the scales ?
Must every history continue to be one-sided ?"

THE S LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2 1845.

sionally arise that make one deplore the altered tone and
more prudential spirit which our Government is compelled
to assume, and finds the necessity of acting under, in re-
ference to enormous political delinquencies on the part
of other Powers. A case of this kind, we must own,
was opened last night in Parliament, by Lord
PALMERSTON, in one of the most powerful and
remarkable speeches of the session. From cer-
tain communications and petitions which had been
transmitted to his Lordship he was enabled to bring
under the notice of the House of Commons some statements
touching the present condition of Greece, and the suffer-
ings of the Greek people, disclosing an amount and
variety of misgovernment, ministerial profligacy, and
shameless oppression, such as even in Greece itself—the
fated theatre of an iron despotism, or a bloody anarchy
for so many ages—have scarcely found their parallel.
Lord PALMERSTON showed that since the removal of
NiAVROCORDATO, a " sound patriot," from the head of
King °TIM'S Government, which was effected by the
basest and moot invidious intrigues, COLETTI —a man
brought up in the school of the execrable ALT
Pam (the monster of Janina)—and subsequently
wielding in Egypt the irresponsible powers delegated to
the officers of oriental princes, had been elevated to the
post of Prime Minister. Under this man's withering
possession of office, the social, int( rnal, and political
con lition of the country had fearfully and rapidly de-
clined. The pay of the regu'ar army had been per-
mitted to run two or three years in arrear. In their
place the Government had retained and exercised the
services of large bands of the Polikary, a species of
frontier robbers by profession and descent of the
most violent and remorseless character, who
were over-running the villages in every di
rection, plundering the inhabitants, or exposing
them to the most inconceivable tortures and atrocities,
for the sake of extorting their money, goods, or posses-
sions from them. In those instances where an accused
delinquent could not be readily found, these wretches
would proceed to the village or town of his residence,
avid, on a plea of punishing collusion, would seize a
dozen of the residents, tie them together, set them
swinging, and in that position cruelly scourge the soles
of their feet. Others they would subject to the agoniz
ing infliction of passing ramrods through the calves
of their legs: Some were thrown upon their backs,
and stones of enormous weight placed upon their
chests, in their vain attempt to escape from which they
struggled till life became extinct. As for the native
peasant women, be:ides other indignities and brutalities,
they were subjected, occasionally, to the dreadful lacera-
tion of wild cats, who were introduced within the
ample folds of their habiliments. These, and a thousand
other atrocities, have long been habitually committed,

utterly disgraceful to the Greek Government, to the age,
to all Christendom, and to universal civilisation.
And surely, not without reason, might these unhappy
people turn their eyes to England, seeing that we took
the principal share in constituting their present state an
independent sovereignty; that we are, with other Powers
guarantees for the integrity of that state; that we ad-
vanced to the Greek Government a large pecuniary loan,

,n the repayments of which that Government is large

in arrear ; and that we hold, as a security for those
repayments, a power to impound, at any time,
the principal sources of the national revenue, and
aro entitled there,mt to repay ourselves. Ssurely,
without resorting to any armed intervention by
expensive armaments, we are in ample condi-
tion, under these circumstances, to insist on the
miserable servants of the half imbecile monarch of a so-
vereignty, to say the If ast of it, in a state of tutelage as
to ourselves and the other guaranteeing powers, desisting
from the countenance thus given by them to these revolt.

Madrid papers to the 25th have arrived. They contain the
official announcement of the arrival of the QUEEN, her mother,
and her sister at Saragossa on the 23d. They were greeted
throughout their route with expressions of the most enthu-
siastic loyalty.
The Eco del Cornercio states that the PorE, in agreeing
to the expulsion of the Jesuits from France, made it a condi-
tion that the French Government should support the preten-

ISABELLA.

The Constitutionnel is very violent in its protests against
England fur binding Brazil to her engagement for the sup-
pression of the slave trade, and denounces the conduct of the
British authorities and Government as a violation of the
rights of nati ,ns.
A letter from Zurich, of the 27th, in the Constitutionnel,
says :

The following is the account of the discovery of the con-
spiracy at Malaga, to which we made allusion yesterday.
The account was brought by the courier from Andalusia :
" The Andalusia mail," says a letter, " has just brought us
some news of interest from Malaga. As early as the 19th, the Go.
vernor of that city had been secretly apprised that a conspiracy had
been formed, and that it was to break out on the 21st. He had
sent this information to the Infante Don Enrique, whose ship was
in the port, and the Prince, after concerting with the Governor,
had gone out to sea. Matters were in this state when, on the even-
ing of the 20th, a sergeant of the provincial regiment of Jaen waited
on the Governor, General Caminero, handed to him some money
given to him as a bribe, and disclosed the whole of the plot.
About a thousand old National Guards were at a given signal to
have repaired to the Merced Gate, and, relying on various
sergeants and soldiers, the conspirators expected to obtain a
supply of arms, to surprise the authorities, and to appoint a direct-
ing Junta, in the name of Espartero's regency and of the Constitu
tion of 1837. General Caminero hastened to the Merced barracks,
ordered the troops to arms, addressed the soldiers, and summoned
before him seven sergeants implicated in the plot. Three of them
immediately avowed all, and the rest of them soon did the same.
The General) forthwith instituted a Council of War, for the
punishment of the guilty, and numerous arrests promptly followed.
A house was surrounded and entered by the police, in which a
rather large quantity of war ammunition was discovered. After
adopting these measures, the Governor demanded further instruc-
tions of the Captain-General, who resides at Grenada. On the 21st
Malaga was perfectly quiet."

" The greatest uncertainty rtill bangs over the death of M. Leu,
and the utmost activity of the Lucerne police, aided by that of the
adjoining cantons, only give rise to vague suspicions. What is
certain is that the Government of Lucerne,six days after the event,
was not in possession of any information of a nature to lead to the
discovery of the guilty party. The police has issued orders to
Madame Stvigcr to quit the Canton of Lucerne without delay, or
else she should be forcibly expelled by gendarmery. She was con-
sequently compelled to abandon her children, and depart by night
to Zurich, where she arrived on the 26th. On the following day,
another order was issued ordering the children to leave the city,
which took place under the care of a faithful domestic. The pro-
ceedings of the Diet are without interest."
The Duke of MONTPENSIER arrived on the Bth at Cairo,
where he was received by IBRAHIM PACHA. On the 9th he
left for Suez, with ABBAS PACHA, one of the Viceroy's grand-
sons. At Suez he visited the steam corvette, the Archimedes,
and the English Bombay steamer, the Victoria. He returned
to Cairo on the 13th, and left for Upper Egypt on the follow.

ing day.
The Grand Duke COxSTANTINE arrived at Smyrna' on the
11th. On the evening of the 9th a fire broke out in a large
warehouse, but was extinguished through the exertions of
the crews of an Austrian and a French vessel. The schooner
Elizabetta returned to Smyrna from Ourlac on the 9th inst.,
with detachments of marines from the Bellone frigate and the
Venetto brig, which were placed at the disposal of the com-
mandant of the Adria, until tranquillity should be re •esta-
blished in the city.
Advices from Athens are to the 13th. M. PISCATORY, the
French Ambassador, was endeavouring to keep the Greek
Cabinet together by bringing about an understanding be-
tween Cor.t.t.m and General Gatiosons.

GREAT FIRES AT QUEBEC. —The High Bailiff of
Westminster has received two letters from the Mayor of
Quebec, begging him to bring under the notice of the
citizens of Westminster the distressed situation of the
inhabitants of Quebec, occasioned by the two fires which
have taken place there on the 28th May and 28th June
last. By the first fire 1,650 dwellings and two churches
were destroyed, and 12,000 inhabitants were left without
house, food, clothing, or bedding. By the last fire
1,200 dwellings, two places of worship, three sell oolhow es,
with stores and outbuildings, were destroyed, and at the
time of his writing to the High Bailiff, he states there
were 15,000 inhabitants scattered over the fields, without
,thelte ror food and he suggests to the High Bailiff that
contributions of clothing, bedding, building materials—
bricks, slates, tiles, tin, iron, nails, glass, and other
Articles of hardware used in building—should be for-
warded to Quebec, addressed to Alexander Simplon,
Esq., Treasurer of the Relief Committee. Any of the
citizens of Westminster who feel dispost d to respond
to this application may have further particulars given to
them at the High Bailiff's, 40, Jermyn street, St. James',
and he will thankfully receive any money donations on
this account which may be remitted to hiw.

Sir James Graham left town this morning for Osborne
house, Isle of Wight, on a visit to her Majesty.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

A letter from St. Sebastian, dated July 28, announces that
the Queen of SPAIN arrived at Pampeluna on the afternoon
of that day, and that she would proceed from thence to the
baths of Santa Agueda, by way of Vittoria, and afterwards
visit Gilboa. Catalonia was quite tranquil.
The Madrid Bolza was closed on the 25th.

ZWEIVITGATZI AND I.E4II.DIUNtLIS.A.L.

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The
Journal des Debats gives the following, which may be consi-
dered an official contradiction of the statement made by
Lord rALMERSTON, relying with authority on the Anti-
Slavery Reporter, that France had entered into a treaty with
the Imaum of MUSCAT for the revival of the slave trade
" Who, then, could doubt the existence of this document.
Lord Palmerston was able to give himself the satisfaction of causing
a momentary embarrassment to both Sir Robert Peel and Lord
Aberdeen in their turns; and he was able to enjoy another not
less lively gratification, that of seeing his accusation republished in
France by several journals, who hastened to borrow from the
. Anti-Slavery Reporter the convention with which the French Go-
vernment had been reproached. Unfortunately for Lord Palmer-
ston, and for those who amongst us made themselves the echoes of
his assertions, the convention alluded to does not exist, and never
has existed. It was only the rough draft of a treaty which never
for one moment had the approbation of the French Govern-
ment. Lord Palmerston confounded this project with a
treaty which has been really entered into between the Imaum
in Muscat, and M. Romain Desfassi!s, commandant of the
station of the Isle of Bourbon, and the principal clauses of which
we published some months past. The Imaum of Muscat, Seid Said,
a powerful, active, and truly intelligent Prince, removed his resi-
dence some time since from Muscat, near the Persian Gulf, to
Zanzibar, on the eastern coast of Africa, where he entered into
extensive agricultural undertakings, and, it may be added, made
remarkable attempts at promoting civilisation. The governor of
the Island of Bourbon, from which Zanzibar is not far distant,
struck with the efforts and the success of this Prince, entered into
communication with him, and through the intermediation of a
young and brave officer of the navy, Lieutenant Kerdudal, pro-
posed to provide for one of the most essential wants of the Island of
Bourbon—hands to carry on agriculture, which was rapidly pro-
gressing. His object was to procure from the African states
of the Imaum labourers not in the character of negro slaves,
but .as free labourers. To the credit of the negotiator it must
be Said, that every precaution was taken to prevent negroes
thud procured from being considered slaves. Still, however,
this recruiting for negroes offered some resemblance to the slave
trade, for it might give rise on the African soil to some of those
acts of violence which characterised that abominable traffic, so
strongly reprobated by all civilised nations. The act entered into
between the Imaum and M. Kerdudal on the 20th April, 1845,
was not to be of any value, or be attended with any practical con-
sequences, until after it had received the sanction of the French
Government, to whom it was transmitted from Suez. The reply of
the Government was promptly given. It admitted that the system
of recruiting for free labourers, in spite of the guarantees with
which it was sought to surround it, gave rise to questions of the
most delicate and difficult nature with regard to the suppression
of the slave trade. The negotiation was not, consequently, ap-
proed of, and an order was for earded to the Governor of
Bourbon not to carry his project any further. A circum-
stance worthy of being noticed, and which reflects the greatest
honour on the Imaum also took place. The Sovereign himself,
who forbids the slave trade in his states, had perceived in the
interval, after placing his signaiure to the convention, thatit might
be interpreted as opening a door to a traffic in negroes, and had
thereupon dispatched his Prime Minister to Bourbon to have it
annulled, It was at this time that the refusal of the sanc-
tion of the French Government was received. The Go-
vernment, however, did not intend to relinquish the benefits which
might be derived for the commerce of the country from a treaty
with the Ireaurn. It entered into direct communication with Seid
Said, and Romain Desfosses was invested with the' necessary
powers to negotiate in the name of the King. This time there
was no allusion made to the question of labourers, and the nego-
tiator acquitted himself of his task with skill and promptitude.
It is a treaty of commerce between France and the Biates of the
lmaum, which has resulted from his conference with that Prince.
This document secures to our ebipping and our trade in the ports
of that Sovereign advantages at least equal to those enjoyed by
England and the United States. If we are well informed, this

There are accounts from Port Philip to-day of a late date,
but we do not hear that there is any news of particular in-
terest. The colony was slightly progressing in prosperity,
and it may be fairly assumed that this portion of the British
. dominions will shortly be most useful to the mother country.
The slaves of America, according to our most recent ad-
vices, are taking a movement in favour of compulsory free-
dom, in opposition to their masters. A body of 50 left
Louisiana with the determination of fighting their way into
Pennsylvania, but the majority of them were recaptured.
From Maryland we have the following information :--
" This movement (in favour of liberty) of the negroea in
Maryland, according to all accounts from Washington, is
quite alarming. Nothing like it has taken place since the
time of the great Southampton insurrection or mas-
sacre produced by the agitation of the abolitionists
through the northern presses. No doubt this attempt
of the negroes in Maryland has been produced by the same
influences-the recent agitation of the slavery question, both
north and south, and various movements of the abolitionists
in the free States. And the worst of it is, that we can hardly
hope that the mischief will stop here. There is every reason
to believe that sonic still more desperate and bloody, move-
ment will take place ere long. The collection of an hundred
negroes, and the march upon the State of Pennsylvania,
would seem to indicate that a new idea has seized the minds
of these creatures. What is there to prevent the organisation
of large bands of negroes in all the States adjacent to free
States, and a universal system of insurrection and rebellion,
and all produced by the agitation of the rabid politicians and
frantic fanatics who are marshalled under the banner of abo-
litionism ? "
The weekly Bank returns show a slight decrease in
notes issued in deposits in seven days' bills and in the
general business of the Corporation. The total amount of
banking business is now 32,639,704/. Last time it was
32,648,1391. The bullion last- time was 15,879,3321., now it
is 15,838,518/., showing but a decrease of 40,8141.
The return of promissory notes issued in Scotland and Ire-
land shows a decrease on the general result from 10,104,563/.
to 9,828,038/. It is, therefore, clear that the utmost caution
is being observed by all the banking establishments of the
United Kingdom.
Consols opened rather heavily this morning at 98% for the
Account, but the price is now 98%; for Money the market
is scarcely so high. Exchequer-bills are on the decline,
being quoted this morning at 51s. prem. Bank Stock is no-
minal ; India Stock is firm at 273, and the New Three-and-
a-Quarter per Cents. have just been sold at 102.
In the Foreign market very few bargains have been made
to-day. Deferred Mexican have receded from 20% to 20% ;
Portuguese Converted for the Account are at 654"; Spanish
Five per Cents. at 26% ; and the Dutch Four per Cents.
at 993/4.
The Share market has been very firm to-day, and the
settlement of the Account (an immense one) is going off
satisfactorily. By a 'reference to the list of prices, it will be
observed, that the greater proportion of the original lines
have advanced. There is an increasing desire to invest
money in what may be considered bona fide lines,
