SLAVE TRADE.

The Earl of IL.A.R.II,OWBY---rose for the pur-
pose of presenting a petition from a large body of
freeholders and inhabitants of the island of Jamaica.
—He might have left the petition to speak for
itself, but he thought that the House would not
be surprised if, upon presenting a petition from a
class of persons who had never appeared before
their Lordships on a former occasion, and taking
that many of their Lordships were but imperfectly
acquainted with the condition of those persons, he
should feel it necessary to entreat the indulgence of
the House, while he stated as briefly as he could,
the situation of the petitioners, and the nature of
the relief they desired to have. The petitioners, he
considered, were entitled to the attention of the
House, both on account of their number—on
account of their wealth—and on account of their
good conduct. The petition itself was entitled
to the attention of the House from the tem-
perate terms in which it described the grievances,
from the respectful manner in which the petitioners
approached their Lordships, and the many disabili-
ties under which it was stated the petitioners labour-
ed. The petitioners were the offspring of the mixed
population, and were in number about 30,000.
In consequence of the existing laws of their
country, they have been prohibited from receiving'
bequests, or from making purchases to any great
extent, yet the property of many of these people
was not inconsiderable; amounting to no less than
three millions sterling. Three of these petitioners
possessed 700,0001., and yet those individuals were
under such disabilities that they were not eligible to
serve in parochial districts—that they were not

JOSEPHINE AND MARIA LOUISA.

" As a domestic occurrence, nothing could more
'contribute to Buonaparte's happiness than his union
with Maria Louisa. He was wont to compare her with
Josephine, by giving the latter all the advantages
(4 art and grace ; the former the charms of simple
modesty and innocence. His former Empress used every
art to support or enhance her personal charms ; but with
to much prUdence and mystery, ttiat the secret cares of her
toilette could never be traced —her successor trusted for
the power of pleasing to rJuth and nature. Josephine
mismanaged her reven•;.e; and incurred debt without
kraple. • Maria Loui:sa lived within her income, or if she
desired any indulgence beyond it, which was rarely the
ease, she asked it, as a favour of Napoleon. Josephine, ac-
customed to political intrigue, loved to manage, to in-
fluence, and to guide her husband ; Maria Louisa desired
Only to please and to obey him. Both were excellent
'''°n:en, of great sweetnesa of temper, and fondly attached
to Napoleon. In the difference between these dis-
tinguished persons, we can easily discriminate the leading '
features of
,the Parisian, and of the simple German
beauty ; but it is certainly singular that the ar-
tificial character should have belonged to the daugh-
ter of the West Indian -Planter ; that marked by
`loure and simplicity, to a Princess of the proudest court
in Europe. rtuonaparte, whose domestic conduct was ge-
nerally praiseworthy, behaved with the utmost kindness to
his princely bride. He observed, however, the strictest
etiquette, and required it from the Empress. If it hap-
pened, far example, as was often the case, that he was pre-
'vented, from attending at the hour when dinner was placed
(H 1 the table, be was displeased if, in the interim of his ab-
**nee, which was often prolonged, she either took a book,
'Or had recourse to any female occupation—if, in short, he
did hot find her in-the attitude of waiting for the signal to
take her place at the table.''

NAPOLEON IN HIS LAST MOMENTS.

" During the 3d of May, it was seen that the life of Na-
poleon was drawing evidently to a close; and his followers,
and particularly his physician, became desirous to call in
more medical assistance ;.—that of Dr. Shortt, Physician
to the Forces, and of Dr. Mitchell, Surgeon of the flag-
ship, was referred to. Dr. Shortt, however, thought it
proper to assert the dignity belonging to his profession, and
refused to give an opinion on a case of so much importance
in itself, and attended with so much obscurity, unless he
were permitted to see and examine the patient. The of-
ficers of Napoleon's household excused themselves, by pro-
fessing that the Emperor's strict commands had been laid
on them, that no English Physician, Dr. Arnott excepted,
should approach his dying bed. They said that even when
he was speechless they would be unable to brook his eye,
should he turn it' upon them in reproof for their dis-
obedience. .

" About two o'clock of the same day the Priest Vignali
administered the sacrament of extreme unction. Some days
before Napoleon had explained to him the manner in which
he desired his body should be laid out in state, in an apart-
ment lighted by torches, or what Catholics call sine chatn-
bre ardente. lam neither,' he said, in the same phrase
which we have formerly quoted, a philosopher nor a
physician. I believe ,in God, and am of the religion of
my father. It is not every body wiho can be an Atheist.
I,was born a Catholic, and will fulfil all the duties of the
Catholic Church, and receive the assistance which it ad-
ministers.' He then turned to Dr. Antommarchi, whom
he seems to have suspected of heterodoxy, which the Doc-
, tor, however, disowned. How can you carry it so far ?'
he said. Can you not believe in God, whose existence
every thing proclaims, and in whom the greatest minds
hare believed?'

" As if to mark a closing point of resemblance betwixt
Cromwell and Napoleon, a dreadful tempest arose on the
4th of May, which preceded the day that was to close the
mortal existence of this extraordinary man. A willow,
which had been the exile's favourite, and under which he
had often enjoyed the fresh breeze, was torn up:by the hurri-
cane; and almost all the trees about Longwood shared the

same fate.

" The sth of May came amid wind and rain. Napoleon's
parting spirit was deliriously engaged in a strife more ter-
rible than that of the elements around. The words ' tete
d'armee; the last which escaped his lips, intimated that
his thoughts were watching the current of a heady fight.
About eleven minutes before six in the evening, Napoleon,
after a struggle, which indicated the original strength of
his constitution, breathed his last."

PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGE.

Mr. OTWAY CAVE, in presenting a petition
referring to the proposed measure on the Corn
Laws, took occasion to advert to what had passed
in the House of Lords, and particularly to the ob-
servation of Lord Grey, that " he would stand or
fall with the order to which he belonged." The
Hon. Gentleman said, that the attack had com-
menced in the other House, where a speech had
been referred to which was spoken in the House of
Commons three months ago.—(Cries of " Order,"
and " Go on.")
The SPEAKER rose to order. He was sure the Hon.
Gentleman must be aware, that if the petition which he
held in his hand referred as distinctly as the Hon. Member's
observations did, to the proceedings of the other House,
such a petition could not be received without a breach of
those privileges .which the House had ever respected.
Mr. OTWAY CAVE said, the Petition he held in his
hand certainly did advert very particularly to the proceed-
ings of the other House of Parliament.
The SPEAKER--Then the Hon. Gentleman must
perceive the propriety of withdrawing it.'
The Petition was then withdrawn.
CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
Lord EDWARD SOMERSET hoped for the indul-
gence of the House, whilst he offered a few observations
on the subject of those charges which had been so long
hanging over the head of his Noble Relation (Lord Charles
Somerset)._.(Hear, hear,)—For a period of above two
years his Noble Relative had been assailed at differ-
ent quarters, and yet the charges against him had
never assumed any distinct shape. In consequence

NAPOLEON AS A CENSOR OF THE PRESS.

" The press, at no time, and in no civilized country,
was ever so completely enchained and fettered as at that
'Period it was in France. The public journals were pro-
hibited from inserting any article of public news which bad
not first appeared in the Moniteur, the organ of govern-
ment ; and this, on all momentous occasions, Was per.
aonally examined by Buonaparte himself. Nor were the
inferior papers permitted to publish a word, whether in
the way of explanation, criticism, or otherwise, which did
not accurately correspond with the tone observed in the
leading journal. They might, with the best graces of
their eloquence, enhance the praise, or deepen the censure,
which characterised the leading paragraph; but seizure of
their Paper, confiscation, imprisonment, and sometimes
exile, were the unfailing reward of any attempt to correct
what was erroneous in point of fact, or sophistical in point
of reasoning. The Moniteur, therefore, was the sole
guide of public opinion ; and by his constant attention to
its Contents, it is plain that Napoleon relied as much on
its influence to direct the general mind of the people of
France, as he did upon the power of his arms, military re-
Putation, and extensive resources, to overawe the other
nations of Europe."
London, England, 1827-06-30

NAPOLEON'S WANT OF CANDOUR.

" It is no less remarkable, that Napoleon, though himself
a soldier and a distinguished one, could never allow a tri-
bute of candid praise to the troops and Generals by whom
he was successively opposed. In mentioning his victories,
he frequently bestows commendation upon the valour and
conduct of the vanquished. This was an additional and
more delicate mode of praising himself and his own troops,
by whom these enemies were overthrown. But he never
allows any merit to those by whom he was defeated in turn.
Lie professes never to have seen the Prussian troops behave
well save at Jena, or the Russians but at Austerlitz.
Those armies of the same nations, which he both saw and
felt in the campaigns 1812 and 1813, and before whom
he made such disastrous retreats as those of Moscow and
Leipsic, were, according to his expressions, mere canaille."

THE EXCISE LAWS.

Mr. C. CALVERT presented a petition from a
person named Davis, carrying on the trade of a
wholesale tobacco manufacturer in the Borough of
Southwark, complaining that the Excise had taken
advantage of a numerical error made by him in a
return, without any intention of committing a fraud
on the Revenue.
Mr. HERRIES defended the conduct of the
Treasury. The petitioner, he understood, had been
guilty of a contravention of the law, and it was im-
portant that the law should be administered impar-
tiily, and without favour. The petitioner was
guilty of an irregularity by which he forfeited a cer-
tain quantity of tobacco, and was subject tea penalty
of 50/. Upon hearing the case, however, the
Treasury had remitted the penalty altogether.
After a few observations from Mr. H. GRATTAN
and Sir R. WILSON, the petition was laid on the
table.

Mr. CALVERT thought the Treasury ought to
distinguish between an honest man and a rogue. Mr.
Davis (the petitioner) paid from 40,0001. to 60,000/.
per annum, as duty, and had done so for 20 years,
and yet his character was now to be injured about a
paltry sum of 70/. or 801.

BRITISH SHIPPING FOR ISM

The returns ordered by the House of Commons show
that the number of ship. built and registered in the British
empire and plantations for the years ending the bth of Ja-
nuary, for the last six years, were for the
Years. Ships. Tons.
1821
1822
1823
1824
1825
1826

Of these, for the last year 601 were above 100 tons,
and their total tonnage was 134,488 tone, and a similar
proportion as to the vessels above and below 100 tons pre-
vails for the other years. It appears also that 178 vessels
of above 100 tone, and measuring 49,040 tone, and 205
below 100 tons, and measuring 9,446 tons, were built in
the British plantations. _

The number of steam-vessels built in the United King-
dom was last year 72, measuring 8,638 tons, or about three
times the number and tonnage built in any preceding year.
The total number built since the year 1814, inclusive, is
228, measuring 26,198 tons.

The number of ships, their tonnage, and the number of
men and boys navigating them, that belonged to the seve-
ral ports of the British empire, were, is the
Years. Ships. Tons. men.
1824. 24;776 2 559,587 168,637
1825 24,280 2,553,682 166,183
1826 24,625 2,635,641 167,636

It would appear that since the commencement of the
peace the number of ships has ranged from 25,864, which
was their number in 1816, and greater than the number
for any subsequent year, to 24,280, the number in 1825,
and is the smallest number during this period. It is a re-
markable fact, that the number of merchant ships belong-
ing to the several ports of the British empire should, in a
year of such excitement and speculation, hare been smaller
than in any other year since the peace. The total varia-
tion, however, during the last ten years, must he consi-
dered as very trifling, when the vast magnitude of our
mercantile navy is taken into account, and not more, cer-
tainly, thun must always arise from natural and inevitable
causes.

The total number of British ships that entered the ports
of Great Britain, for the year 1896, was 11,623, mea-
suring 1,796,250 tons, and navigated by 105,109 men ;
and the total number of foreign ships that entered during
the same period, was 5,439, measuring 643,922 tons, and
navigated by 37,137 men. The several countries from
which these foreign ships entered, and tke proportions
which they severally obtained of this trade, will appear from
the following table:—
She. Tons. Men.
Russia 23,733 1,173
Sweden
Norway 496 78,952 4,194
Denmark 76g 56,990 3,623
Prussia
Germany 906 81,572 4,196
Belgium B4O 71,174 3,464
France 1194 52,426 7,473
Portugal l4 1,696 121
Spain
Italy 3 886 47
Foreign West Indies 1 139 9
United States 440 147,741 6,547

Comparing this with the returns for the lasi year, it
appears that there is a small increase in the tonnage of Den-
mark and Germany; that the falling off in the French ton-
nage is very trifling; that there is a total diminution of
about 247,000 tons, of which about 50,000 belong to Nor-
way, 60,000 to Prussia, 40,000 to Belgium, and 30,000
to the United States.

ELECTION COMMJTTEES.-(THIS DAY.)

THE DUBLIN ELECTION.
The Petitioners' haviog dosed their case of bribery on
Saturday last,- offered to produce evidence to establish the
allegation, respecting the interference of the Roman
Catholic Clergy at the Election. The Committee having
deliberated for a short time on the proposition,
The CHAIRMAN asked what was the object in showing
the interference of the Priests ; was it in a view to vitiate
any particular votes, or in order to affect the seats.
Mr. HARRISON was not aware that it could affect any par-
ticular votes, their being no statute prohibiting such interfer-
ence. The object of the petitioners was to prove, that the con-
duct of the Catholic Clergy obstructed the freedom of elec-
tion, and if the Committee should not deem that a sufficient
cause to invalidate the election, it might form a ground of
a special report to the House, whereby such conduct might
be obviated in future by a legillative enactment.
The 'Cita I RMAII did not imagine that the interference of

the Clergy, to xrhateve-e extent Carried, could in any degree
contribute to invalidate the election, and the Committee
could not receive evidence, in a view to make a special re-
port, respecting acts which could not affect the validity of
the election.

Mr. LAW was instructed by Colonel White to say, that
the Catholic Clergy courted an inquiry into their conduct ;
they were anxious for an opportunity to rebut the foul and
unfounded calumnies heaped upon them through the base
motives of exciting prejudice against them in this country.
He hoped the Chairman would not refuse to hear evi&nce
on that point, as that much injured and disparaged class of
people were prepared to repel with contempt so vile and
unmanly a charge,.
Mr. Hamilton, the petitioner, much agitated, rose up
reddened, muttered, and sat down.
The CHAIRMAN was afraid that the Committee could
not comply with the wishes of either party, but requested
to be allowed until Monday to consider. This day lie an-
nounced that such evidence could not be received by the
Committee.

Mr. AtExAxnas. summed up the evidence produced to
establish bribery, and the Committee adjourned until to-
morrow, in order that the Chairman may ask the leave of
the House to adjourn for a few days, until Colonel White's
witnesses can be brought from Ireland.

room for contention as to which of the aspi-
rants should be chosen ; but when, in truth,
there is only one, and when, the choice falling
elsewhere, it would be considered as a selection,
directed by anything but wisdom, the doubts
and difficulties that exist, if any such do
exist, must have their origin in claims and
interests distinct from those of the public good. We
have heard it alleged, there is precedent for the union
of Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary in the
same person. We are not aware that there is such
a precedent ; but as little are we aware of any reason,
constitutional or otherwise, why the offices should
not be conjointly exercised., We know of nothing
in their separate functions which renders their union
incompatible. Nor does Mr. Tierney see any in-
superable objections to such an arrangement, or he
would not have inquired, as he did on Friday night,
whether or not, " the Foreign Department was to
continue more immediately under him (Mr. Can-
ning), or whether his master mind was to have the
superintendence of that, in common with the other
departments of Government ?" If, indeed, we were
reduced to the necessity of making a choice between
Mr. C., as First Lord of the Treasury and Chancellor
of the Exchequer, and Mr. Canning as Secretary for
Foreign Affitirs only, we own, we should not hesitate a
moment in pronouncing for the latter. We are convinced
we only echo the general voice of the country, when we
say, that if the Seals of the Foreign Office were, at this.
crisis, to pass from his hands, such a transfer would
be regarded as prejudicial to the best interests of the em-
pire. Our earnest hope, therefore, is, that those arrange-
ments may be practicable, which will place this popular
and distinguished Minister at the head of his Majesty':
Government, without changing his present position; or,
if that cannot be, for reasons which we profess not to un-
derstand, that he may see sufficient cause to acquiesce in
others, which will secure to the nation the full benefit of
his great and powerful talents.—New

Csrpe diem—_
Be promptly wise.
WHEN Science began to explore the. com-
plicated machinery of Man, she was speedily
entangled in a labyrinth of mysterious confusion, from
which intellectual perseverance alone emancipated her.
Ignorance and empyricism, however, still oppose their veno-
mous hostility, and the prejudice of weak minds, in some
measure, encourages their audacity. As Truth is to False-
hood—so may our public statements be compared with
their unqualified pretensions, and to expose their fallacies,
we have not hesitated to avow ourselves as practitioners in
a class of Diseases which endanger the mystic evolutions
of Nature. To be brief : we are Members of the London
College of Surgeons, can establish the integrity of our
Character -upon the, success of Twenty Years' practical
experience, and announce the grateful testiniony of those'
in whom long suffering had
neatly extinguished every hope
of relief.

We pledge ourselves to the removal of Syphilus, from
its. incipient symptoms to the remotest stages, characterised
by every doubt, and whatever malignancy. The intricate
and much neglected diseases of the Urethra have been
carefully and studiously considered, as have also those
delicate and important sympathies which refer to the Fe-
male Sex. The infirmities of virility have been especially
noticed, whether as arising from the debilitating tyranny
of a tropical atmosphere or the natural bias of consti-
tution—the imprudence of gaiety —or the more alarming
results of a propensity to practices " which shun the
light ;" the progress of which is marked by a gradual
dereliction of the animal powers. To all who are thus
circumstanced, and more especially
to such as arc aspirants
for connubial pleasures, we earnestly recommend our Corn-

COCLERELL V. BARBER.

The COURT heard Counsel conclude their arguments in
this case, in which the question was, what a testator meant
by giving a legacy, coupled with the appointment of a
legatee, to be one of many of his executors ?
His LORDSMIP promised to read the will between this
and Monday, and then to dispose of it; and, after having
partly heard the case of George versus Ratteray, the
Court rose at a quarter past one o'clock—his Lordship
haring to attend elsewhere.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, MARCH SI.
BANKRUPT PETITION.
EX-PARTE 'WAINWRIGHT IN RE LATHAM.

This was a petition praying that the Commission which
bad been issued against the bankrupt, might be ausperseded,
or that his certificate be staid. The petition stated that he
had a claim for 10151. against the bankrupt, being the
amount of several sums of money which the bankrupt,
who had been a traveller in the petitioner's employment,
withheld by means of fraudulent misrepresentation and
concealment.

The VICE-CHANCELLOR was of opinion, that as the
petitioner charged the bankrupt with the crime of embez-
zlement, he could have no remedy as a creditor.
His HONOUR, when the petition was opened yesterday,
directed the matter to stand over until this morning, in order
that the Cetrnsel on.bottr vides might 'have an opportunity
of looking into the authbrities on the subject:
Mr. HORNE, who appeared in support of the petition,
said, that the Act expressly declared that in eases of em-
bezzlement, the party injured had no means of securing at
law the amount of
_tko wow_ embesaled. In this case,

given a

Mr. HVALD—That was very natural ; he would be glad
to give the eognovit, in order to escape punishment for the
crime.

Mr. HORNE said, that the petitioner had other claims
against the bankrupt besides those to which the term fraud
had been applied.
Mr. BicxitasTrrif, who appeared for the bankrupt,
denied that his client had committed embezzlement, but
contended, that as the petition charged him with it, the
Court could not entertain the petition.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR coincided in opinion with the
Learned Gentleman. The petitioner called this money the
fruit of crime, and therefore could not treat it as a debt.
That part of the petition which prayed that the certificate
he staid must be dismissed with costs.

An arrangement was subsequently come to between
Messrs. Heald and Rose, who appeared for the petitioning
creditor, under the Commission, and Mr. Horne far the
present petitioner, by which it was agreed, that the Court
should now determine the question, as to the superseding
the Commission, which was said to be concerted, without
the necessity of amending the petition.
The VICE CHAIiCELLOR, after hearing the Counsel on
both sides at considerable length, decided, that the Com-
mission was not a concerted one, and therefore dismissed
the petition with costs.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF. CHANCERY.

TOE .arrOnlirT-GNERAj. P. SKINNERS' COMPANY.
In this matter it was decided that the Skinners' Com-
pany were entitled, under Sir Andrew Judd's will, to two
estates—one as trustees for the, benefit of a . school at Tun-
bridge, and the other for their own benefit ; and the matter
came on to-day for discussion upon the question of cosks.
The testator had directed the Company to ride once a year
to visit this school, to defray the expences of which he
directed the application of 408. Upon the matter having
gone subsequently to the Master to settle a scheme for car-
rying on the school, &c. he had allowed 2001. annually to
defray the.expenca of the visitation, which, on the one
side, was contended ought to come out of the property that
was declared to belong to the school, and, on the other, to
' come out of that which the Company took beneficially.

His LORDSIIIV'S opinion was, that the 2001. should be
borne by the two estates, in the proportion that the rental
of the one estate bore to the other. As to the costs in-
curred up to the hearing of the matter, he should have
thought no costs ought to be given on either side, if this
would •not have been most unmerciful upon the relaters,
who bad instituted the suit; and as to them, therefore, lie
thOught they ought to be borne in the same proportion as
that of the 2001. ; and, as to the costs upon the question
whether the Skinners:: Company were beneficially entitled
to one of the estates_or not, they would have _ to come out
of that estate.
