Paisley was reviewed on Wednesday last, in the Barrack-
square, Paisley, by. Major General Sir Neil Douglas. com-
mander of the Queen's forces in Scotland. He arrived shortly
after twelve. o'clock, accompanied by Lord Jocelyn, his aide de
camp. The general was received with all the honours by
:Major Crombie, the soldiers presenting arms, the band playing
a salute. The general, after inspecting the front and rear
ranks, took his station on the south side of the square, and the
whole were formed into four companies, and marched past him
in slew and quick time, formed in line, and went through the
manual and platoon exercise, and fired a round from flank to
centre. They next marched across the square in echelon, drew
up in line and fired a volley ; then formed into two squares,
those in front kneeling, with fixed swords on their rifles, and
those in the centre discharging their rifles as if attacked by
cavalry. The who'e body then formed into one solid square,
and repeated the previous beautiful tactic. The whole of the
manoeuvres, under the command of Major Crombie, were ex-
ecuted with a precision that would have done honour to a
corps of veterans. The general complimented the major
highly on the soldier-like appearance of the corps, and their
high state of discipline. The general afterwards• visited the
barracks and the soldiers' mess-rooms. _ . . .

THE CONVICT SLAVERS.
(From the Western Times.)
The convicts, immediately on their condemnation,' appeared
to be moved by indignant feelings rather than apprehensions
for their fate. Majaval, the Spaniard, exclaimed that be had
not had a fair trial • he had been silent during the whole time,
but if he had thoughtl that he should have had such justice-as
this, he would have taken a very different course. He said
that before such a fellow as Cuqueira would have been
permitted to give evidence in his country, the people would
have torn him to pieces. He drew his hand -across his throat
with an action that could not be mistaken ; and the
revengeful feeling which it indicated being rebuked, he
said that the people would have killed him ; he did
not mean that he would have done it himself. The
idea of bloodshed seemed to he familiar to his mind.
He begged to be allowed to write to the Queen of Spaia.
He complained that he had written to his Government, when
first taken into custody, and had received no reply, and had no
notice taken of his letter. His whole bearing indicated anger
rather than terror./ Serra, the captain, maintained his wonted
tranquillity, but his frame relaxed on hearing the verdict, from
the iron tension to which it had been screwed up. Alves, the
blood-drinker, has a high and expansive brow; there is less of
the fiend in his countenance than in that of his right-hand
man, Serva, who stood by his side during the trial. His
demeanour was quiet, grave, and thoughtfel, and mild thoughts,
one would have supposed, held firm possession of his quiet
breast. Yet this man was the first to tush upon deck, in
reply to the bloody command of Serva, " kill, kill ;" he was
the first who received the knock-down blow of the quarter-
master, and being pitched into the sea by that heroic English-
Man, regaining the vessel after the latter was killed, and not
having had his revenge—drank his blood ! Such is the evi.
deuce. Merderer and savage as he was by the evidence, he
stood in the dock,- repelling, by his placid demeanour, and his
mild and thoughtful face, the bloody reputation which the
evidence cast upon him. When the verdict was pronounced,
he, for the first time, appeared' anxious. • The torture of
them all, when brought up to know the issue, was visible ;
for there was a formal placing of them in the dock, the
counting of the jury, and the customary challenge to the
foreman as to the unanimity of their agreement in the verdict
they were about to deliver. All • this, if done in any
ordinary matter, would pass unnoticed. But when life or
death are in the issue, the moments hang like a weight on
the soul ; and even to the spectator the suspense
is intolerable. Majaval east a glance timidly round
at the jury ' - but he quickly withdrew it, as if
be felt that he had a part to play, and that it
ill became him to express apprehension, or anxiety. But
though his mind was sealed within his breast, his sufferings
were manifest to the close observer. A restless movement in
the half closed right hand showed the intense effort which it
required in that awful moment, to assume the bearing of repose
and indifference. Serve's arms fell placid by his side, and his
whole frame became listless—it was but momentary—but it
showed that his mind was struck with the agony of the moment.
Alves was calm till the sentence was delivered. Profuse per-
spiration then overspread his brow, and he wiped his forehead
with a small bit of rag, which he had been rubbing to and fro in
his unconscious fingers. In earnest, but gentle accents, he
sought t) speak, but through the clamorous gesticulations of
the Spanirds. he received no attention, and redoubled agony
came over him, as he had to speak an unknown tongue to an
audience and judge ignorant of his language. His look of
wild despair reminded one of a man struggling in sleep with
some desperate phantom from which there is no hope of escape.
They were all taken back to prison, and placed in the con-
demned cells, with guards over them day and night. ,
Janees Alajaval is not the nephew of Espartero ( Duke of
Victoria), as reported, but the second cousin of the Duchess
of Victoria. Majaval's grandmother, and the grandmother
of the Duchess were sisters.
The prisoners have not been ironed. They are kept in
separate cells, and eat and drink heartily. They are allowed
tobacco to chew, and snuff. They take their meals with as
much nonchalance as if there was no sentence of death im-
pending over them, and " they eat their full allowance."
They all take exercise daily, except Serva, who keep his bed,
bei.ig afflicted with a bad leg, and Alves, who spends much
of his time in reading. Majaval, immediately after condemna-
tion, applied for writing materials, and would not listen to any
sairitual advice until he had penned a narrative (as he says) of
the whole transaction for the information of his Government.
The materials were supplied, and he set about it with great
diligence. Those of them who can read have been supplied
with pious books by the priest, and they read them with con-
siderable attention.

The Rev. Thos. Ca.itello, of Tiverton, volunteered his ser-
vices to the unfortunate prisoners, and had attended them twice,
when on Tuesday last, the Rev. Dr. Lima, a respectable Por-
tuguese priest, who has charge of alarge congregation at. Strat-
ford, Essex, was directed by the Catholic Bi4tiop, Dr. :Griffiths,
to come down and afford them every spiritual assistance. Etc is
indefatigable in his attentions, and the good effects of his visit
are very manifest. They have all been much tranquillized since
his appearance, most of them having " made a clean breast of
it." All, except Serva, have been wrought upon by the coun-
sels of the reverend father ; but he remains obdurate. " What
he has," he says," is in his own heart." He'll confess nothing.
This man was the terror of the coast—daring and unscrupulous,
pursuing his bloody traffic with a fearless and ferocious spirit--
" neither fearing God nor Devil." He held human life toil
cheap to be unprepared for this alternative, it is to be pre-
sumed; and he bears himself with a degree of stoical indiffer-
ence, which was unshaken by the three days' trial.
A petition against the execution of the prisoners has been got
up in this city; and it is reported that Sir Thomas Wilde intends

-,
to bring the subject before Parliament—but nothing, is yet cer-
tain, They remain at present under sentence of death. But
the general opittion of the lawyers being strongly in favour of
Sergeant Manning's law, Baron Platt determined to consult
his Learned Brother, r. Justice Erie, as to the propriety of
reserving the points of law for the decision of the twelve
judges. The Under Sheriff, Mark Kennaway, Esq., was to
meet the Learned Judges to. day, on their return from Corn-
wall. Should they decide against the appeal, the prisoners will
be left for execution.

TRADES DELEGATES' CON-
FERENCE.-S AT ITN.DAY.
CLOSE OF THE PROCEEDINGS—PURCHASE
OF LANDS PLAN.
At the assembling of the delegates this day, they
entered upon the discussion of the plan suggested for
the purchase or leasing of lands upon which to locate
the surplus labour population, and provide them with
the means of emplo; ment, either agricultural or com-
mercial. The "objects" of the plan are, substantially—
The purchase of lands whereon to locate and employ
the surplus labour of the Association, in such manner as
shall he most conducive to their own wel'are and that of
the Association.
The erection or rental of buildings for domestic, in•
dustrial, and commercial purposes, in such localities as
may be best suited for these respective objects, and the
promotion of the general inter( sts of the Association.
The application or these lands and buildings in the fol-
lowing manner, to meet the corporate and individual re•
quirements of the. members of the Association. 1. To
afford to trades in their corporate capacity the power of
leasing in perpetuity, or of purchasing in fee simple,
such lands and buildings belonging to the Association as
they may require for the location and employment of
their surplus members, and also the power of investing
their funds with the Association, by way of loan or
mortgage on any of the property of the Association. 2.
To divide such portions of the estates purchased by the
Association as may be thought expedient into small
farms, to build thereon suitable cottages and outhouses,
and to sell or lease the property thus improved, to indi-
viduals selected in accordance with the laws of the As-

sociation.
Then followed a plan for the constitution of the di-
rectors, officers, &c. who are to controul and direct the
whole. The governing body was to consist of a board
of directors, secretary, treasurer, trustees, auditors, and
ex officio members. The powers and duties of the di-
rectors were to be circumscribed within the following

limits :
The Board of Directors shall have full power to
manage and control all the affairs of the Association in
its name and behalf. They shall receive and disburse
the funds, and have power to borrow money on loan or
nfortgage from trades unions, on the security of the
property of the Association, subject to the regulations
affecting such borrowed capital as are hereafter provided.
They shall purchase land, erect buildings thereon, lease
or sell the property so improved, and re-invest toe pro-
ceeds in other estates; or, where it may seem to them for the
advantage and profit of the Association, they may retain
such estates and buildings, whether domestic or indus-
trial, and work the same for the Association, if it ap•
pear to them that its objects will be thereby more effec-
tually attained. They shall appoint and dismiss all
salaried officers and agents. They shall call an annual
meeting of the Association, at which full and complete
reports of the transactions for the past year, and an ac-
curate statement of accounts shall be submitted 7 and de-
clare the dividend on shares accruing during the year,
together with all such business as the Directors may re-
quire instructions upon or confirmation by the Share-'
holders. Special meetings may be called by the Direc-
tors whenever necessary, upon fourteen clear days' notice
being given of such meetings, and the business for which
such meetings are called being clearly specified in such
notice. No other business than that announced shall be
transacted at special meetings.
Several other clauses were added, for the regulation of
the details, such as the appointment of local agents,
the manner of making leases, effecting sales, permanent
investments, commercial establishments, ba&eers, &c.,
and which were all agreed to, with a few unimportant
alterations.
The meeting next agreed unanimously to elect Mr.
Dencombe, M.P., as President of the Board.
The office of Vice-President was next canvassed, when
thr„e delegates were put in nomintion—namely, MessrS.
Robson, Grimley, and ;`tort ; but the sense of the meet-
ing haring been taken, Mr. Robson was elected by a
majority of votes, he having had 19, Mr. Grimley 13,
and Mr. Story 3 votes.
Messrs. White, of Bradford ; Evans, Staffordshire ;
and Roberts, Manchester, were elected unanimously as
the members of the Board of Directors, from the country
districts; and Messrs. Grimley, Wade, Story, and Arch,
as the London members of the Board. The officers were
next appointed, and this having completed the business
of the delegates, the chairman was about to leave the
chair, when a vote of thanks was proposed to the papers
who had reported their proceedings, particularly the
Nola:ern Star, when
Mr. ROBERTS contended that very satisfactory report§
had appeared in the Morning Advertiser.
Mr. ARCH, of the Silk Hatter's Protection Society,
said; that the delegates also felt indebted to The Sun,
for the excellent reports that journal had furnished.
Mr. \\Turn,: said he also could bear testimony to the
excellency and accuracy of the reports in The Sun.
Several other Delegates said that they should not par-
ticularize any paper, and regretted that they could not
at present establish an organ of their own.
Mr. WHITE said that he was the person who
originally proposed the omission of all matter having re-
ference to newspapers, At the same time he did think
they should be thankful to all papers who published re-
ports of their proceedings. He would support the
motion that the IVotthein Star be at present the organ
of the Society.
The meeting declared in favour of saying they felt
thankful to all papers that advocated their claims.
A vote of thanks was then passed to Mr. Duncombe;
and the Delegates separated.

THE LATE SIR W. FOLLETT.
We have been permitted to publish the correspondence
which passed between Sir William Follett and Sir Robert
Peel, in May last, with respect to the proffered resignation
of the Attorney-General. It is highly creditable to both
parties.

" Park-street, May 20, 1845.
"My dear Sir Robert,—l am about to write to you on a
subject painful to me, but which I am afraid I can no longer
avoid. When I first returned to this country from the•
Continent I felt no doubt, from the improvement that had
then taken place in my health, that I should he able to give
my regular attendance in the House of Commons, and to take
my fair share of the business of Parliament, as well as the
other duties of my office ; but it has been ordered otherwise,
and the fresh attack of illness under which I have been suffer-
ing since my return has again obliged me to keep away from
the House. This has distressed me much, holding the office
which I dn, and feeling that I was not able to perform
one of its most important duties. Still, I had hoped
that it was temporary only, and that as the warmer
weather approached the illness would be removed. My
physicians have, however, recently announced to me that my
present illness is much more serious than I had at first imacined,
anti that, although I am now going on very favourably, yet that
time and care and quiet are essential to give me a fair chance
of recovering from it. This announcement makes me no longer
hesitate, in justice to you and to tke Government and myself,
to place my office of Attorney-General at once in your hands,
and to pray of lon to lay my resignation before the Queen
whenever you may think it best that the vacancy should be
declared. . _

"I cannot, my dear Sir Robert, conclude this letter without
saying how deeply grateful I feel to you for the unvarying kind-
ness and friendship you have ever shown me since my first en-
trance into public, and I need not say the pain it gives me to
write this letter, and to take any step to separate myself from
you and from your Government, with all the members of which
I have so long cordially acted ; but there seems to be no
struggling against long-continued, though varying, sickness,
and I have no choice in submitting to inevitable misfortune.
" I have net mentioned to any one out of my family my in-
tention of writing this letter, as it has struck me that it may
not at this moment be convenient to the Government to have
a sudden vacancy announced in the law offices of the Crown,
and that it may be better to arrange with you when my retire-
ment should be made public.--Always. my dear Sir Robert,
most sincerely yours, " W. W. FOLLETT."
" Whitehall, May 21.

"My dear Follett,—l received, with the deepest regret, on
my ret.•urn from the House of Commons, this morning, your
letter of yesterday.
" I will ask you, for the present, to confine the communica-
tion of your wishes and feelings with regard to retirement ex-
clusively to me. It would give me the greatest pain to con-
template the necessity of your absolute relinquishment of office.
There is no temporary arrangement which I would not make—
no relief to you from labour and anxiety connected with official
or Parliamentar7 duties which I would not most cheerfully
propose, rather than choose the alternative of permanent sepa-
ration from you.
" lam deeply grieved that you have not made more rapid
advances towaids recovery ; but earnestly hope that complete
repose and the approach of milder weather will, at no distant
period, re-establish your loalth, and enable you to resume your
usual occupations.
With feelings of regard and esteem which I cannot ade-
quately express, " Believe me, See.,
" ROBERT PEEL.

" The Attorney-General."
[ln a subsequent letter, a copy of which we have seen, Sir
Robert Peel begs him to retain the office of Attorney-General,
with the distinct understanding that he should not be asked,
on any occasion, to attend the House of Commons, and for the
present should not hear a ward on professional business."]

HYDROPHOBIA.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Some time past you had the kindness to publish my
letter on Hydrophobia, through which I tried to attract the
attention of the medical practitioner and the public to the fact
that Belladonna, Cantharis, Hyoseyamus niger, and Stramo-
Alum have been found very efficacious both in curing and pre-
venting that dreadful diserdcr.
In the Times of to-day I see sga;n a case of hydrophobia at
Cuckfield, by which three horses have been destroyed without
any aid.
May I ask the favour of your assistance to awaken the dor-
mant faculties of the people on such a terrifying subject, by
giving publicity to the present.—l beg to remain, Sir, yours
very obediently. GE V. V., M.D.

TRIAL BY JURY IN WALES.—It appears from a
statement in the Carnarvan Herald, that at the assizes held at
Beumaris on Monday last, before Mr. Justice Parke, an ac.
cured party, who had been at large, on bail, surrendered to take
his trial fur a felonious assault with intent to maim &c.'; and,
on a jury being empannelled to try him, it was notified to the
Celia that eleven of the number did not understand English ;
upon which the Judge observed that the foreman (the indivi-
dual who understood English) could explain the case to his fel-
low jurors. The foreman returned a verdict of " guilty," and
the man was sentenced to four months imprisonment. On the
morning of Wednesday, the gentleman who acted as attorney
on the prisoner's behalf, and as deputy to the sheriff, applied to
the court under curious circumstances, stating that eleven of the
jurors, by whose verdict (understood to be unanimous) the pri-
soner was sentenced to four months' hard labour, were not con•
vinced of his guilt, had intended to acquit him, and had in-

.. . .
strutted their foreman so to do. Mr. Baron Parke smiled,
and told the attorney to forward an affidavit to the Secretary of
State. To this unfortunate prisoner trial by jury has indeed
proved " a mockery, a delusion, and a snare.'_

THE LATE COLONEL ROBINS 014:
We have another distinguished name to add to our ri On'
heavy casualty list—that of Lieutenant Colonel MD. Ste
bertson, of the Bombay army, who died on the 6th insti'
of cholera, at a village between Kolopore and e;
gaum. The loss of this amiable and talented office."
will be severely felt, not only by his Europefr
friends, but by thousands of the natives of the neat
whp have been in times past the objects of lj
Lenevolence, and whose gratitude has been displale,
in a sincere and permanent attachment to their ben:
factor. 'Colonel Robertson entered the Company'st.

tish supremacy over the Mabratta territories in 1818, '''„

collector, and magistrate, of Poonah, and the onereo,
and important duties of these situations were dischargt
by him in such a manner as to afford the greatest sat;
faction to his official superiors, as well as to gain tej
esteem and regard of those beneath him. Colon
Robertson remained at Poonah till the year 1834'
period of seventeen years, and appears, during this Pr;
tracted term of service, to have been in the highest 0
gree respected by all classes of the community. On "t,
arrival in Bombay in 1842, he received the stint,
