Scotland, we may hope that such interference will be of
a very limited character ; not requiring the bur-
densome erection of ad litional asylums, but alone
enforcing any further accommodation that may be re-
quired as an addition to the asylums at present in ex-
istence, and thus asserting the right of the public to the
overruling control of institutions which transact with
the liberty of the subject.
We would most eareestly direct to this pr sect the
attention of all those connected with and interested in
the north of Scotland by the ties of birth or attach-
ment. We observe with the sincerest gratification
that her MAJESTY has been pleased to permit the Insti-
tution to be called Royal, and we trust that her gracious
condescension may induce a more enlarged patronage
than it might otherwise have received. We refer to the
subscription list in our advertising columns, and we
sincerely trust that it may yet be materially augmented.

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 enthii-
siastic loyalty.
The Eco del Conzercio states that the POPE, in agreeing
to the expulsion of the Jesuits from France, made it a condi-
tion that the French Government should support the preten-
sions of the Count BE MONTEMOLIN to the hand of Queen
ISABELLA.

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."
A letter from Sr. Sebastian, dated July 28, announces that
the Queen of SPAIN arrived at I'ampeluna 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 tilboa. Catalonia was quite tranquil.
The Madrid Bolza was closed on the 25th.

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-
Slarery Reporter, that France had entered into a treaty with

the Imaurn 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
►ess 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

reaty which has been really entered into between the Imaum

of Muscat, and M. Romaiu Desfosses, 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 powettul, 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 Zampbar 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 la the negotiator it must

be said, that every precaution was taken to prevent negroes
thus 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-
proved ot, and an order was forwarded 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 signature to the convention. that it 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 w.s received. The Go-
vernment, however, 6id not intend to relinquish the benefits which
might be derived for the commerce of the country from a treaty
with the Imaum. It entered into direct communication with Seid
Said, and Romain Dedosses 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 States of the
Imaum, which has resulted from his conference with that Prince.
This document secures to our shipping 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
treaty has received the signature of the King, and has been for-
warsted to our negotiator for the exchange of ratifications."

From the following article in the National, on the delay
which has taken dielace in the adjudication of the Northern
Railroad, it would appear that officials can job in railways in
France as well as in England :
" Why this long and mischievous delay ? The reason is ex.
tremely six.ple, and he who is a long time in finding it out must
have very little knowledge of M. de Rothschild or of his friend M.
Dumon. M. de Rothschild sheds silver tears every time he thinks
of the North Railroad ; it is so fine a prey, and would have been
finer had not the press during the last two years wickedly opposed
it. Although much diminished in value, it is still worth the no-
tice of those houses which are unquestionably at the head of the
financiers of Europe ; but it is necessary that competition should
not come forth and add to the reductions already made by the
Chamber; and consequently, at any price, all those indiscreet per.
sons who might venture to enter the lists against those great
houses must be scared away. To effect this two measures may be
successfully employed—absorption and exclusion. To M. Roths-
child belongs the first—to M. Dumon the second. The mode of
absorption is now being employed. M. de Rothschild is in cor-
respondence with all the solid bone fide companies, and is negoti.
sting for their not sending in tenders for the contract. Some of
these negotiations have succeeded—others have failed, at least for
the present, and whether they will or not ultimately gaits their
end no one can tell. Should M. de Rothschild be foiled, then
will come the turn of M. Dumon. Against any company which
may pass over the head of M. de Rothschild, he will bring into
play that famous commission which he has at his disposal in ex
trenee cases, and which admits or rejects—and frequently without
reason—such tenders as are not found to be agreeable. All these
proceedings are perfectly well known, but never have they hitherto
been brought into play with so much audacity."
The KING, by a decision taken in Council on the joint ,
report of the Ministers of Marine and Finance, has autho-
rised the immediate employment in the naval service, of ten
out of the seventeen steamers built in virtue of the law
of July 16, 1840, for the Transatlantic service, but which
has not yet been established. In consequence of this
order, the naval division of 26 ships on the western
coast of Africa. under the command of Adm.ral INION•
TAGNIES DE LAROQUE, with Capt. BOULT WILLUNMES, Se-
cond in command, will be thus composed, viz., Steamers:
Caraibe, of 450 horse-power, bearing the Admiral's flag; the
Caiman, the Elan, the Espadon, the Pirogue, of 220 lisase-
power each; the Australie, the Euphrate, and the Narval, of
160 horse-power each. Sailing vessels—The sloop-of-war
the Camille, of 430 tons; the sloops—the Indienne, and the
Infatigable, of 380 tons each ; the brigs-of-war Grenadier.
of 20 guns, and the Abeille, of 18 guns ; the Advice brigs—
the Alcyorme, the Bougainville, the Cigogne, the Comete.
the Fleche, the Leger, the Papillon, the Rossignol, and the
Surprise ; the schooners the Amaranthe, the Ilirondelle, the
Jonquille, and the Fine.
The Constitutionne/ is very violent in its protests against
England for 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 nations.
A letter from Zurich, of the 27th, in the Constitutionnel,

says :
" The greatest uncertainty ►till hangs 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 orriers to
Madame Steig• r 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,
wh,ch 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 IBRAItIM PACHA. On the 9th he
left for Suez, with ABBAS PACHA, one of Clie 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 CONSTANTINE 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
Elizabet ta 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 Athena are to the 13th. M. Piscaerorty, the
French Ambassador, was endeavouring to keep the Greek

1 Cabinet together by bringing about an understanding be-
tween Coi.Lbrre and General GRIOSOTIS.

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 negroes 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 some 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
32,648,139/. The bullion last time was 15,879,3321., now it
Is 15,838,5181., 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 95% 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 201/s to 20% ;
Portuguese Converted for the Account are at 6514"; Spanish
Five per Cents. at 26% ; and the Dutch Four per Cents.
at 99%.
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,
