Another series of Papers relating to the Slave
Trade, has been minted by order of the House of
Commons. It consists of extracts of all communica-
tions received at the Admiralty from the Naval Offi-
cers stationed oh the coast of Africa, or in the West
Indies, since the Ist of January, 1820, relative to
that detestable traffic. Many new cases are stated.
sheaving the success with which the present Treaty
is evaded, and the inadequacy of the existing regula-
tions. The following extract from a letter, which is
the last of the series, shews the necessity of some fur-
ther measures on the subject:

COPT OF A LETTIR /ROM COMMODORE SIR C. R. COWED, DATED

14TH set. 1820, AND AD/MESSED TO J. W. CROMER, 111. Q.

. - -
" Sta—l enclose the duplicate of a letter I have addressed
upon the subject of the difficulties and delays we meet with to the
Courts of the Mixed Commission, and I regret to say the plan
now commenced by the slavers, of declaring upon oath that the
men slaves had been received as hired men to navig de the yes.
sel, and the slave boys as servants, is likely to encourage the
trade, and increase the difficulty of condemnation, it being al.
most impossible to effect the capture by such complete surprise
as to prevent the escape of a large proportion of the slaves ;
the contempt in which the slave-masters now hold the Treaty,
is such as to induce them to boast of their evasions, and confess
themselves waiting for the number of slaves they have agreed
for; and in sonic instances they have catried this so far, as to
point out their live cargo upon the beach, only waiting the ab-
sence et the ship of war to load.
" The flags of France and America are now generally adopt.-
ing it, as the best cover to illicit slaving, and the unpleasant situ-
ation this places his Maje.ty's Officers under, who are charged
with preventing this traffic, must be evident to their Lordships,
and will, I hope, induce them to give me sonic specific instruc-
tions upon this head.
" The Thistle has arrived here, but without having succeeded
in the object I had in view, of recovering a pat t of the Marie's
cargo, at Ki,sing, in the Rio Pongas. "I h ve, &c.
(Signed) " G. R. COLLIER, Commodore.
" J. W. Cavan', Esq."

COMMITTEE 01; AGRICULTURE.—There are ROW
twenty-eight Members forming this Committee. The
Marquis of LONDONDERRY has been added to them;
and his Lordship has constantly attended their Meet-
ings since the recess. One witness, it is expected, will
complete their exaniinations.
A Gnosr.—A report has lately been circulated of
the extraordinary appearance of an apparition. That
in the Nineteenth Century, there should be people
found credulous enough to believe in such fancies,
might be doubted, had not John Bull given so many
proofs of his credulity. A more interesting subject,
however, claims our attention, no visionary theme,
but a source of solid gratification to all classes of so-
ciety. We allude to the new Lottery; which, for
cheapness, novelty, and advantage to the Adventurer,
stands unrisalled. A Ticket Chance only 14. Guineas
A Sixteenth only 20 Shillings. All the £21,000
Prizes, and all the 4,005 other Prizes must be drawn
all in One Day, 17th This Month (May).
Coax ExcnAms 5i.,1111-LAlllt, MAT 9. We bare had but very
few arrivals of any Grain since Monday, and but little fir*
Wheat or Barley at market ; the prime samples of each mitt
ready sale, on fun as good terms as on Monday, but there was
little or no demand for the inferior qualities, the prices of whkh
are nominal. The Oat• trade was heavy at Monday's prices,
especially for light ordinary samples. In Beam, Peas, and usher
articles, there is no alteration.
