LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10,1845.

The reversal by the Judges of the conviction for mur-
d.r of the seven Brazilians, tried and sentenced to
death by Mr. Baron PLATT last autumn at Exeter, is
an event which, for many reasons, should not pass with-
out public comment.
Tho chief facts of the case are briefly these. The
Felicidade, a Brazilian schooner, fitted out for the slave-
trede, but having no slaves on board, was captured in
February last by H. M. brig Wasp ; and the Felicidade,
having been taken possession of by the officers of the
Wasp, afterwards captured another Brazilian slaver, the
Echo. Some of the crew of the Echo were taken to the
Felicidade, and there left under the charge of Mr.
PALMER, midshipman of the Wasp. They fell upon Mr.
Pereera said his men, and, after stabbing thee with
knives, threw them ell overboard. The Felicidade was
afterwards captured by H. M. ship Star; and ten of the
Brazilians concerned in the death of Mr. PALMER and
his men, being brought prisoners to England and landed
at Plymouth, were tried at the last summer assizes at
Exeii-r for murder. Seven were found guilty, and sen-
tenced to death. The counsel fur the prisoners
urged a variety of points, chiefly arising out of
the treaties with Brazil for the suppression
of the slave-trade, to show that the capture
of the Echo, anti consequently the detention
of its crew, was illegal, and that the prisoners having
no other means of extricating themselves from illegal
custody than by killing Mr. PALMER and his men, were
not guilty of murder, but committed an act of justifiable
homicide. Mr. Baron PLATT overruled all the points
raised. Mr. Sergeant MANNING, the prisoner's counsel,
then urged the Judge, in consideration of the great im-
p rtance of the ease, and of the nicety and newness of
the points raised, to reserve these points for the opinion
of the fitteen Judges. It would be thought that the
Judge would have been glad of an excuse to relieve him-
self of the awful responsibility, and, if only one doubtful
point had presented itself, would have been eager, in such
a case, to have the opinions of all his brethren. Not so
Mr. Baron PLATT. Not one point only, but six or
seven points of nicety, were raised in this ease by the
prisoner's counsel ; and the professional character of
Mr. Sergeant MANNING was a guarantee that the points
were worthy of consideration. Mr. Baron PLATT saw
ro neecessity to reserve anything ; he had his doubts at
Hest on some of the points, and, had expressed them ; he
hd admitted that the points wore new ; that the Bra-
illan treaty, on which ell depended, was new
to him ; but in a trice his mind was made
up—he had no doubt ; there should be no
delay: the jury found seven of the ten prisoners guilty,
and Mr. Baron PLATT sentenced them to death; and
they would have been hung within ten days but for the
interposition of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, who did what
Mr. Baron PLATT had refused to do—brought the case
under the review of the fifteen Judges, who, after much
deliberation, and after calling for a second argument
from civilians, have reversed Mr. Baron PLATT'S
judgment.

If Mr. Baron PLATT has any feelings of shame, we
do not envy him under their working at this moment.
To Sir Jlists GRAHAM credit is due for the moral
courage of an interference that must have been most
unpalatable to a Judge very recently made by his own
Government. But if these Brazilians had been hnaged,
illegally, as the Judges have decided, what irretrievable

disgrace would not have been cast on the English ad-
ministration of justice—what a heavy blow and deep dis-'
couragement would not have been given to our efforts
for the aholition of the slave-trade—what danger might
not have been incurred in our relations with Brazil
As it is, Mr. Baron PLATT'S judicial conduct cannot but
have lowered the character of our Judges in the estima-
tion of foreign powers.
The grounds on which the Judges have determined
that the conviction was illegal are understood to be
two. The convention of 1826 with Brazil, which de-
clares Brazilians carrying on the slave-trade pirates is
not sufficient, in the opinion of the Judges, to give our
Courts power to punish them as pirates, there being no
law in Brazil making the carrying on of the slave-trade
piracy. The carrying on of the slave-trade is not
piracy by the law of nations; it cannot be made so, say
the Judges, by treaties. The Brazilian Executive can-
not supersede the Brazilian Legislature in the making of
laws; and until the Brazilian Legislature has passed an
Act making the carrying on of the slave-trade piracy,
we cannot legally punish them as such, notwithstanding
the convention with Brazil. _ _

The other ground of reversal is, that the Felicidade
had no slaves on board when she was captured, and our
treaty with Brazil prescribes that no slave ship shall be
detained, " not having slaves actually on board ;" that
the capture of the Felicidade being thus illegal, the cap-
ture of the Echo was illegal also, and that the prisoners
were thus justified in putting Mr. PALMER and his men
to death, no other means being sufficient to extricate
themselves from illegal custody.
We thus see what caution is necessary on the
part of British officers in carrying out powers,
given by treaties with foreign nations, for sup-
pression of the slave-trade. A failure arising from
an exceeding of our powers injures the cause which the
English nation has so greatly at heart, and for which the
English people have laboured and sacrificed so much.
The continued failure of the Brazilian Legislature
to pass an Act making carrying on the slave-trade
piracy, and thus give effect to the convention of 1826,
is a subject of far greater interest and importance. The
explanation of the conduct of the Brazilian Legislature
is our own conduct with regard to Brazilian sugar. They
will do nothing to further our objects while our com-
mercial legislation proscribes their staple article of
commerce. But this is a subject too large to enter upon
at the tail of an article. We shall shortly return to it.

On Monday we expressed our conviction, from what
had occurred at two agricultural meetings held last
week, as well as from the tone of journals which advo-
cate the claims of the landed interest, that the " farmers'
friends" were resolved to resist every alteration of
the corn-laws. Our anticipation has been completely con-
firmed by the proceedings which took placeyesterday at the
annual meeting of the Agricultural Protection Society,
held at the Society's Rooms, Bond-street. The meeting
was not large, for, according to some accounts, it did not
exceed fifty members ; but that is not material, for many
of them were delegates from branch societies established
in the provinces, and the chair was taken by the
Duke of RICHMOND, regarded as the head of the party
resolved to resist to the last all further concessions to
the corn-law repealers. No other nobleman attended
except the Marquis of SALISBURY, though a communi-
cation was received from the Duke of BUCKINGHAM,
who simply stated that he was desirous of being present,
but was unavoidably prevented from attending. This,
we admit, looks a little ominous for the " protection"
advocates. For some time his Grace was the leader of
the party, and had obtained the endearing epithet of the
" Farmer's Friend :" he actually resigned his seat in the
PEEL Cabinet, because he would not hear of the sliding-
' scale being touched, though ever so gently ; and great
expectations were entertained that when in opposition he
' would have rallied his friends, and made a successful
stand with those who had placed Sir ROBERT PEEL at
the head of the Cabinet. From some cause or other,
however, all these expectations were grievously disap
pointed ; his Grace evinced no vigour in the good
cause, and actually refrained from attending agricultural
meetings when he knew the backslidings of the Premier
would form the principal topic of discussion. He still
perseveres in the same plan, and the Duke of RICH-
MOND, therefore, may expect little aid from his brother
of BUCKINGHAM. But the Noble President of the Pro-
tection Society is, like all his family, brave and un-
daunted, and will fight the battle to the last, though even
single-handed. "In your hands," said he, " and in the
hands of the Protection Societies of England,
at the present moment, are the weal and greatness
of the country. My opinions are unchanged.
I hope and trust that the report which we have heard
as to the intention of the Government to move a repeal
of the corn-law upon the first or second day of the next
session of Parliament is not a correct one. I cannot
believe that it is. I cannot believe that such perfidy
could enter the minds of any Government. I cannot
believe that it should. All I can say is, that if, unfor-
tunately, it has, I hope the House of Commons, the
members and representatives of the agricultural interest,
will throw it out. And if they do sot, I look still to
the hereditary Peerage of England for maintaining
your interests." These sentiments were responded to with
loud cheers, and a petition to the Legislature was pro-
posed and adopted, calling upon them to uphold in
their integrity the present system of the corn-laws, or
appeal to the constituencies of the United Kingdom—in
other words, call upon her MAJESTY to dissolve the pre-
sent Parliament. The numerous free-trade meetings
held lately throughout the country have afforded well-
grounded hopes that the corn-laws cannot last another
session; but these hopes are greatly strengthened by the
proceedings which took place yesterday at this Anti-
League Society, and especially by the dubious language
in which some of the speakers expressed themselves.
They have no hopes in the Minister, and even doubt
the loyalty of those who were to unmake
him. Many of them have already yielded to
his gentle insinuations, and more desertions are
anticipated; indeed such is the spirit of disaffection,
that little confidence is placed in the decision of the
Commons, and the only hope is from a new Parliament.
This is a dismal prospect for the Protectionists in the
present excited state of the country, with such a power
ful Opposition pledged to total repeal, and with the wsll-
- sentiments of Sir R. PEEL in regard to the
principles of free trade. If the present Parliament,
returned for the purpose of resisting any change in the
corn-laws, cannot resist public opinion and the great
risis brought about by the state of the crops, what
hopes can the Duke of Iberia:min have from an
appeal to the people, or what grounds can he
find for believing that a new Parliament would
be more powerful ? It cannot be doubted that a
vast number of Tories and Conservatives engaged in
trade are as anxious for a change as the Whigs or the
League, that many of them would vote for a repeal of the
corn-laws, and that in many boroughs, where at the ge-
neral election the Tory interest prevailed from antipathy
to the last Administration, free-traders would
be returned, and after a delay of some six months,
during which time trade and enterprise would be
paralysed, the great measure would be carried by a large
majority. The Duke of RICHMOND had therefore better
yield in season, and not encourage an agitation which
may lead to other " encroachments" on the landed
interest, besides the very harmless repeal of this useless
tax. His Grace knows well the sentiments of the Scotch
farmers on the subject; he knows that the unsettled state
of the law has driven many of them to the conclusion that
it can exist no longer with safety to agriculture, and
also that large numbers of the English tenantry are
coming round to the same opinions. Would it not,
therefore, be wise on the part of a nobleman, in other
respects so estimable, to give up his crochet and submit
with a good grace to imperious necessity ?

Madrid journals of the 2d have been received. From
all accounts the Government is gaining strength and
confidence every day ; the Opposition can make no
resistance, and the financial measures of Senor MoN are
,Furnishing money for the payment of the troops—a cir-
cumstance greatly calculated to secure their fidelity.
NARVAEZ, having gained the confidence cf the army, has
now turned his attention to the journalists, and with
some of the income-tax, probably, has purchased in the
name of a friend (such is the report) the Heraldo, for
some time a renegade Opposition paper. The price is
42,000 piastres, and the ex-editors are also provided for.
The Funds improved on the 2d, the Three per Cents.
closing at 36i at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 24
1.16, at 60 days.

The accounts from Paris of the state of the stock
and;share-market on Monday are very favourable. The
settlement of accounts went off, not only without any
untoward event, but with a considerable advance. The
tendency to sell has completely disappeared, and the
tide runs strong in favour of investment at the present
low prices. During the last week the Three per Cents.
had advanced lf. 30c., and the Fives 90c.; and in Rail-
way Shares the improvement is still more marked.
The political articles in the journals possess little inte-
rest. Those of the Opposition appear to have great diffi-
culty in finding reasons for attacking M. GUIZOT during
the ensuing session. The IVational, the most violent of
the party, can find nothing to harp upon but the expedi-
tion to Madagascar, which, in the opinion of the writer,
shows that the Foreign Minister is prepared to sacrifice
the rights of France to please the English Ministry.
" An expedition," it says, " is organised, and will con-
sist of several frigates, with infantry on board, and
some other vessels of minor force. But it is not less

certain that an expedition is also being prepared in
England, and everything seems to intimate that the two
-"owers will act in concert. We had a presentiment of
this new baseness. However, in present circumstances,
the qu:stion was so clear, the right of France so evident
and so iLleontestable, that we allowed ourselves to
hope vagu for a decision in conformity with
the interests of the country. England is allowed
to combat poinulations lying under the exclu-
sive sovereignty of France. She is allowed a right
which is a formal denial of her own. She is permitted
to appear at Madagascar on the same footing as we our-
selves, who are the masters of the whole island.
In a word, our title-deeds to a magnificent country are
torn up, simply for the purpose of adding a new conces-
sion to all those which the entente cordiale has already
cost us." The late dispatches from Algeria furnish
topics of discussion for the Opposition journals, and
those of the Government can make but a poor defence in
reply to facts about which there can be no dispute, In
a dispatch published in the Moniteur, General D'AR-
BOUVILLE describes the treacherous reception given to
his column by a Kabyle tribe, near a place called Oued-
Boullec-Badou, and the chastisement upon them, by
setting fire to 300 houses, and destroying the property
and all who defended them. Next day, the 25th of No-
vember, the same tribe, to the number of 3,000, at-
tacked him with the utmost spirit and bravery, and he
likewise pretty clearly avows that, after three hours
of firing, and repeated bayonet• charges, he was com-
pelled to retreat. The rising in the province of
Constantina is considered of a serious character.
The Journal des _Debuts, in adverting to the
movement of ABD-EL-KADER in the Cirection
of Taguine says :—" This expedition of the EMIR, al-
though it has taken place beyond our line of frontier and
the territory called the Tell, is not the less detrimental
to our interests, inasmuch as it makes many tribes,
whose cavalry is strong, and who previously had either
submitted or were neutral, fall again under the EMIR'S
yoke. The Emu has striven to cut off our commercial
relations with our allies of the Ksour, or fortified towns,
of El Aghouat and Ain Madhy. He must have de-
stroyed the fortifications which General MARCY had
raised on the road from Boghar to Taguine, in order to
serve as points d'appui to the Arab Douars entrusted
with the protection of the caravans from El Aghouat to
Medeah. ABD-EL-KADER'S mere appearance in the dis-
trict of Tittery, the news of which will be sure to
spread afar, just as if he were approaching in person,
may give rise to insurrections, and revive such as have
just been crushed. General JUSSAF has been sent on to
Tenich-el-Had, in order to pursue the EMIR ; but the
latter will nowhere wait for him, his plan being always
to avoid an encounter, and to harass us on all points by
means of an insurrection of the tribes."
The Pi else writes in the strongest terms against the
ruinous policy pursued by BUGEAITD, and gives the fol-
lowing letter of a correspondent, dated Oran, Nov. 25, to
show that every day the new mode of warfare increases

in atrocity :-
"We are here without any news from the army. The
Marshal has given the most peremptory orders to the Gene-
rals, and other officers in command of columns, to suffer
nothing relating to their operations to transpire, and to give
no account of them to any one but himself. All we know is,
that these commanders have orders to burn as many villages,
and cut off as many heads as possible. Thirteen villages have
been burnt in the environs of Tlemcen. General de Lamori-
ciere is at Mascara, and the Marshal in the country of the
Flittas. The communications between Oran and Tlemcen
are still interrupted, and all we learn from Tlemcen reaches us
through Djemma Ghazaouat, and we cannot tell when the
next convoy for Tlemcen will take its departure."

A rumour prevailed in the clubs last night, which we deem
t right to publish, as a good deal of credit was attached to
it. It is said that the Duke of Wellington refuses to support
any alteration in the corn-laws, and that in consequence of
the difficulty thus created Sir Robert Peel has determined to
resign. It is' added, in confirmation of this statement, that
it was determined at the Cabinet Council, held on Monday,
that Parliament should be again further prorogued, instead
of being summoned by proclamation for the dispatch of busi •
ness.—Chronicle.—[We attach little credit to this rumour.
The Duke of Wellington will not commit a second time a
blunder like that by which he gave such an impulse to Par-
liamentary Reform, and obstinately refuse to support any
alteration in the corn-laws. Indeed, we have heard that he
has expressed himself without equivocation in a very dif-
ferent manner, and that he considers the corn-laws "doomed."

PRIVY COUNCIL AT OSBORNE HOUSE, ISLE OF WIGHT.
—Sir Robert Peel and other Cabinet Ministers left town
at an early hour this morning for Osborne House, where
her Majesty will hold a Privy Council. The Ministers
were expected to return to town this evening. A spe-
cial train on the South-Western Railway conveyed the
Ministerial party from town.

GREAT PEDESTRIAN FEAT.--On Tuesday the match
made for the celebrated runner Maxfield (alias the North
Star) came off near the North Star Inn, at Slough. Max-
field was backed for a stake of 501., to cover eleven miles of
load within one hour from the time of starting, a feat (with
the exception of Jackson, the American Deer, who ran a
similar distance within an hour) almost unprecedented. The
betting odds were laid on time, and very large sums of money
were pending. At the start he went away at a rapid pace,
accomplishing the first mile under five minutes ; the three
next miles were gone over at a similar rate, when he relaxed
a little during the fifth mile, and had finally covered half the
distance in 29 minutes. He continued at his Herculean un-
dertaking, and won the match by minutes. The eleven
miles of ground was travelled over in 58 minutes and 45 se-
conds. The pedestrian at the termination seemed but little
distressed, considering the arduous undertaking he had ac•
complished.
THE CORN-LAwS.—TIIB AMERICAN MINISTER.—
The Secretary of the Legation to the United States, Mr.
Ganesvoost Melville, has written a letter to the Morning
Herald in reference to an article which appeared in that
journal on the Bth December, in which it is stated that the
American Minister has been charged with misinforming the
Times on the subject of the intentions of the British Cabinet
as to the corn-laws, for the purpose of sending out to the
United States fabricated news that might influence the deci-
sion of the tariff question. It appears that Mr. 3PLane left
London for Paris on the 3d inst., but Mr. Melville, in the ab-
sence of Mr. M'Lane, without communication with him, and
on his (Mr. Melville's) own responsibility, denies, explicitly,
fully, and without reserve, each and every imputation con-
tained in that article, and brands them with falsehood from
first to last.

AGRICULTURAL PROTECTION SOCIETY.—The an-
nual meeting of the society took place yesterday afternoon at
the otlices of the Institution, Old Bond-street, the Duke of
Richmond, President of the Society, in the chair. Mr. W.
Miles, M.P., Mr. Newdegate, M.J., Mr. Stafford O'Brien,
M.P., Mr. Fisher Hobbs, Mr. J. J. Allnatt, Mr. W. Bennett,
Mr. R. Healy, Mr. T. -Umbers, and several other gentlemen
addressed the meeting, urging the several districts and pa-
rishes of the United Kingdom to forward petitions to the Le.
gislature firmly to uphold the present system of the corn-
' 1:111'8, and to resist to the utmost any attempt at further al-
teration. A petition to the above effect was then adopted.
Mr. Fisher Hobbs then proposed that the Duke of Richmond
be re-elected President of the Society for the ensuing year.
Mr. Turner seconded the motion, and it was carried nem. con.
The Duke of Richmond, in returning thanks, assured the
meeting that he would exert himself to the utmost during the
ensuing session to promote the objects of the society. The
Rey. Mr. Gwilt then moved that the Duke of Buckingham
and Chaudos be the Vice-President, the Duke of Norfolk,
the Duke of Rutland, the Duke of Cleveland, and the Earl
of Yarborough, trustees of the society. The resolution
having been seconded, was carried unanimously. The cus-
tomary vote of thanks was then presented to the Duke of
Richmond. His Grace briefly acknowledged the compliment,
and the meeting separated.
FALL OF A THEATRE AT BERWICK...-...r'Or some
time past a company of itinerant players have been perform-
ing in Berwick, under the management of Mr. H. Wynn.
They had a place fitted up in the old shambles. Monday
evening being the manager's benefit the theatre was fuller
than usual, and owing to the temporary manner in which it
was fitted up the gallery gave way, and precipitated those
in it over into the pit. Some of the audience got themselves
bruised slightly, but fortunately no bones were broken.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
WTI', QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpoolyesterday were 2,500 bales,
at steady prices. Shares were very quiet, but firm.
There are no arrivals to-day. We are all on the qui vim
for Monday's demonstration at the Mansion House, and the
renewed rumour of Sir Robert Peel's resignation serves to
keep alive the excitement.
The Funds opened firmly to-day and support rather fuller
rates. Consols for present transfer have been 94% to % 3/4,
and for time 943/4 to 9515. The pentium on Exchequer-
bills has been 21s. to 235., and on India Bonds under 1,0001.,
30s. The New Three-and-a •Quarter per Cents. have been
951/8 to %, and the Three per Cents. 931/8 to N. Bank
Stock is at 201. East India Stock is nominally without al-
teration.
In the Foreign Investments business is slack. Spanish Five
per Cents. have improved, however to 281,, and the Three
per Cents. to 38. Portuguese Foar per Cents. are steady at
59. Mexican Bonds have been heavy at 293/4 ; and Colum-
bian are about 16%. Dutch Four per Cents. have been
quoted 93.
In the market for Railway Shares there is not much acti-
vity, but prices look tolerably firm.
