Pall.mall East, 2, March 25, 1824. Ladies and Gentlemen,l-Having been instrumental in procuring for you zn opportunity of expressing your opinion upon the import- ant question to be submitted to the ballot on the 31st instant, I take leave to remind you of the claim it has upon your attention. and up- on vour attendance on that day. rt will be for you theni to decLare, whether you are of opinion that Great Britain affords not the means of giving such an accomplislhed European education, together with a competent knowledge of East- crn languages, as shall enable a young man, under nineteen years, to pass whatever examination may be established, without co'mpel. ling him to spend the two last years of his life at the Hsileybury It will be for you to give your opinion, whether such an education will not be far imiore likely to be attained at that very institution, after it shall have been freed fronm the constantly impending risk of ruin for life being the consequence of a boyish indiscretion. It is for you to decilde, whether you wish to see the present college converted from an instrument of terror and alarm, into an object of confidence and affectionate regard-to make it, what it was alone meant to be, a facility instead of ass impedihent, in the was of pro- curing for your service ranidldates with the highest possi 4iental anti moral qualifications. You are asked, by supporting the proposition, to give encourage. ment to education wherever it is to be found, and more especially to this college andl its professors, by securing for it and for them the benefit of free competition, and an appeal to a comparison with eda. cation attained elsewhere, the only security for its well-being and imnrovement, and the only just appeal for a decision on its merits atl its claimw to public approval. I have the honour to be, Ladies and Gentlemen, your very obedient servant, (Signed) DOUGLAS KINNAIRD. TO TIlE PROPRIETORS OP AST IArDIA STOCK.

a1 ms was an action on a policy of insurance to recover 2001., being the amount of the defendant's subscription bn the cargo of the ship Clarencc, consisting of 230 casks of tatUow. The insurance was effccted on the cargo on a voyage from St. Petersburgh to London. The ship sailed from St. Petersburgh, and in AMarch, 1823, was compelled to put into Copenhagen to refit, having sustained some damage. The captain having no funds, was obliged to hypothecate the vessel to pay tor the repairs. The Ckereece again set sail, and on the 5th of April she struck on a reef of rocks off the coast of Jut- land, and sustained so much damage, that upon a consultation being held, it was found impossible to repair her. The greater part of the cargo was mitch injured, and it was found necessary to sell it im- mediately. The plaintiff gave the underwriters notice of aban- donment, and claimed for a total Ioss. On the part of the defendant, it was urged that the ship could have been repaired, or at least that the cargo might have been transferred to another ship. Evidence was given'that some of the tallow had'been sold in Den. mark on condition of, being exported, and that the plaintiff had given dir6ctions to lds agent with respect to, the manner of disposing of the cargo after he hadgiven nodce of abandonmen.t. It was, however, proved on the art of theplaintiiff, that when he gave the defendant no?ice of abandoment, he, the latter, decIrei thathe twiouldhven. tligto do with the sbap or cargo. su6 jury fewl4 for Ih~ pl?ain. .

The Gazette of Madrid contains several Royal decrees, and that of the 19th gives from the Eloile the opening of the British Parlianient, which is accompanied bv several motes worthy of atten. tion. Lord liverpool says in his speech that the most wise steps are to leave the Spaniards to tear one another in pieces. The saimc Ga- :etle says the following on that subject:-.-This way of thinking is that of a country where they see with pleasure two men fight until one of them fills dead ; biut it is fortunate for us that the French Governniciit look upon us with more compassion than Lord Liverpool." According to the Britannic Mllinister, Spain ought to have made concessions, not to France but to Spain herself. " His Excellency will permit us," sa- s the Spanish w riter, :' to observe, that this way of speaking is not intelligible, excpt to himself. Lord Liverpool thinks that Spain ought to lose her colonies, because she refused the mediation of England." "No," says the Spanish journalist, " we are so convinced of the bad effect of all the Revolutionists in the world, that we tbink, if their projects are assisted, it will be prejudicial to a'l theworld; and, according to this principle, we think that the recognition of the in- dependenceof ourAmerican colonies will be dangerous, not only to Spain, but also to England."-EIoU'.

W e liave received Pin ii morning and evening papers of Satur- day. They are almost wholly filled with the report of the proceed- ings in thc Chamber of Deputies on Friday. The return of Gene- ral FoY, which appeared to be contested on Thursday, was admit- ted to be valid on Friday, without discussion or opposition. Al. (iRnAnDIX complained of the mode in which the elections were con- dicted in various departments, offering to prove that persons were allowed to vote who had' not the legal qualifications, while others who were entitled to electoral privileges were not permitted to exer- cise them; that menaces were employed by the authorities and Go- vernment agents. which deprived the electors of all freedom of chioice; and that the secrecy of ballot was universally and auda- ciously violated. The complaints of the honourable member were met with the order of the day. The most interesting por- tion of the proceedings of Friday and Saturday (so far as %fe have yet received an account of them) relates to .lf. B. Cox- sTA2,'T. whose admission was opposed by Al. DuDo-x on the eround that he was a Generese, and hIad not received letters Qf naturalization from the Sovereign of France. f'Vhe answer of AM.

Our sentiments on the case of the unfortunate man Con- nolly, who sbot poor Grainee, are already before the puhlic. They were called forth by a series of mischievous endeavours, ma(le through a portion of the daily press, to screen that offlender from his well-merited punishnment-to obtain for a convicted criminal that mercy which he would not show to his innocent fellow-creature. It is now affirm- ed publicly, that these attempts to turn the conrse of jus- tice have failed; and certain we are, that had they succeed- ed, a deep wound would have been infl'cted on the safety and morals of the community. It may be right for us to state, that Connolly is altogether unknown to us: we have never heard his name but through the reports of those judicial proceedings to which his own outrageous passions and unlawful acts have exposed him. There is no desire to trample on distress, in praying that for the security of thiose who may hereafter be engaged, as was the unhappy victim of this man's violence, in the discharge of a swdrn and ne- cessary duty, the well-considlered sentence of the Judge may be, in the present case, carried into strict execution. If it be not, a precedent of the most fatal class will be esta- blished-such that every man may consider himself a char- tered butcher, to slay whatever constable shall dare to pre- sent him with a writ. In Hertrorlshire, we hear on good authority that the public are well satisfied with the charge and eentenice of the lvarnedJudg.'to-wlrrrthe trial -ofUCo&- nolly was intruste(d.
