      J ! My Friends , —Feeling a warm Interest In any subject icct connected with the interests of the Working (;& ( "lasses , I have no ordinary pleasure in directing your be » i test attention to a document addressed to your body by : l > y a provisional comniittec , elected to make arrangemei meats for bringingyour cause before a Conference of too tout own delegates , on the 2 tth of this month . F . v f . « ry inairwlio takes pride in the progress that the qu ( question ° f Labour is now making , will be filled with ont toc ieclhis only en perusing the document inquestio tion . A feeling of gratifying wonderment that such s s piece of composition should emanate from the

      Ls Labour class . I have read it over again and again , as aad with a desire for brevity in all matters concemin ing y « nr it > terests t 1 could net find a paragraph , a sentence , line , or word for erasHre , without endan-< H "erin 5 its whole merits , -with the exception of the t < two first pauses under the head of " coxstitctiox . " I I mean the amount of shares and the mode of v vounsr . "Upon the question of shares I shall merely o olserve , that the amount is , in my opinion , put ten t times too high , if the plan becomes national ; and i with respect to voting ( the only question in which ! an y principle is involved , and which has induced me to address you at all upon the subject ) , J differ as widelv as nidit from day from the

      committee . It is the only principle against T & ich both you and I , in our individual capacities , have liccn so long struggling . It is the principle of plurality voting—the principle of Sturgc Bourne ' s Act—the principle nndcr which church rates and other unjust taxes have beeni imposed by the wealthy upon the poor . It may be urged , and not without point , that the society is not a mixed government for varied interests—that it is a corporate body , with equal individual rights . It is , I know , intended to be so , and it is because the principle of plurality voting vfould break it up assueli , thatJ object to it . lalsoobjcctioasliareholderbcingdclarrcdofhisri s htofvoting until his full share is paid up ; as heniight be thereby

      deprived of his vote for seven years at 6 d . per week . I object to the principle of proxy voting , because it makes one man the ruler of other men ' s brains , and because it affirms that reason can have no effect upon thejudgment . ltncgativcsthc possibility of argument convincing , or else it affirms , which is going too far , fiie power of one thinking , reasoning , and deciding for jnany . 1 further object to the Permanent Jn-* askii « iis under the head JLi'MJCaimw op Pcsm ] object to it because it would make the society a stock-jobbing society . I object to it because I believe that a new state of society , to be valuable , can only be formed out of individual equality . I have always contended , that before you can create a perfect state of society , yon must teach each man

      his individual worth . There exists the same difference between making individual happiness out of an aggregate of improved mind and producing an aggregate of mental improvement out of individual happiness , that there is between building a house of sjiapejess Jumps and building it of dressed stones , 1 believe that wc must first find out the place that each man is destined by nature to hold in society , and then vou may rest assured that each will be satisfied with ins proper station . 1 have been invited to canvass the document in question with temper and in a good spirit . 1 have done so now but briefly , merely pointmgihe attention of those who are to be represented

      to the points most requiring their attention . I should not have done more than express my unboun ded delight at seeing such a document , had not those principles , at variance with my whole life , been Included in it . I well hiiow that , though I shall not get , and do not deserve any of the merit due to the authors , that I should be charged with culpable silence , had I abstained from comment . Moreover , as the principles of the Charter and the character of my leader , Sir . Duncombc—arc dearer to nic than anything in this world—I cannot , injustice to him and to myself , abstain from stating that the very points upon whichl write underwent considerable discussion , and that Mr . Buncombe expressed his unequivocal

      objection to the principles of rzriuirrr of votes ; and although it is highly commendable that the minority should bow to the decision of the majority , yet it never would do to see iiie Chartist leader ^ assent given to the most anti-Chartist principles . I write for the sixpenny subscribers , and commend them to the care of their wealthier brethren . 1 have always dreaded the aristocracy of the Trades , and I feel assured that the adoption of the plan , as it now stands , would give them a greater power than ever , over the democracy . However , it is cheering that all is but suggestion , and that the people themselves are called upon to adopt or reject what may seem to be most wise . There is now but a short time for deliberation

      The last Conference named the day for the next meeting . The place of meeting is engaged . The committee have decided against their ' right to postpone for further consideration , and , boreal ] , at no other time couid they secure the presidency of their unrivalled chairman . Therefore , to work they must go , and not at all prematurely , for more time would bat lead to more apathy , and at last only the latest moments would be devoted to business .

      TO WILLIAM WISH-I-MAY-GET-IT , Esq . Mr Deak Will , —Yon see that I now rank yon amongst my friends ; and , in faith , so I ought , for yon arc doing me and mine good service . Dear Will , I thank you very sincerely for the Mowing letter , published In Lloyd ' s of last week : I hope and trust that the proprietor will hare eqaal cause to be obliged to y on , but 3 fear not . 1 SE CHAMIST MOCSE-TBAT . To tie Mitor of "liepfs ITaHy Xewspopsr . *

      Sir , —1 have to thank yon for the advice given to me as to the best mode of obtaining hack the little amount which I suhscrihed to the Chartist's Co-operative Laud Society and I certainly should greatly prefer to receive it of Mr . O'Connor himself , or of Ur . William Prowling Roberts , rather than to take it from either of the two umlerfingSj who , I perceive from your last week ' s paper , volunteer to pay the money in order to prevent our paying a visit to their masters . But 1 shall have a word 10 say to their roaster * , which renders it very desirable I should see them , aud I seek to know how this is to be accomplished . The nonce in the Xorthem Star was , that all money sbonia lie seat to v , 'ii ] ir . m Trowting Koheris , care ot Tearsus O ' Connor , Esq ., 3 J 0 , Strand . The rules say all money is to he simt to William Fronting Rohcrts , Esq .. care of Peargns O'Connor , Esq ., 54 , Great Mavlboroughstreet , Bejent-street . Which of these j > hcts is correct ? At neither was Mr . William Rohcrts to he found las ! week ; at neither was Peargus O'Connor . Beth were in the country . Tin pointed out the law list as a channel by which to obtain information of Mr . Roberts , and that those who were soliritors , aud not in the law list , should be avoided . I find that the name of 3 Ir . Roberts is in tli * law list , under the head of London solicitors ; but alter giving the address is London , Bath , Manchester , un'i Sewcostle-unon-Tyaeare also added as his address , so there is no necessity to avoid him ; the difficulty is , that ha may avoid us . If I am to go from London to Bath , from Bath to Manchester , and front Manchester to Newcastle in quest of him , by the time I arrived at the latter place , he might have returned to London , and if I followed him tlwrc , he might again have set off for Bath . 1 have * wn thinking if wc had subscribed our £ 5000 , and after oepoatiug h in the kmk , enr treasurer had , muier Jluli-- , inaaeapj . r , cation on beliaifoftlic trustees fur the uilli-< i * awal « f the same , and it had b : eu so wiihdrawn , these < * taaai « = 5 of Mr .

      May ? They complain of your stating that they proposed , with a capital of £ 5000 , to locate 3721 persons , giving eacli £ 15 16 s Si , total £ 5837 18 s . , and still haVO an estate , le & worth- £ 3 < o . j-t ., " andsll to he < tonein tout years . They say , it was promised to locate 1023 persons within that time , and to give them £ 15 16 s . 8 d . This would he still more miraculous ; for I find it would require upwards of £ 30 . 000 to give £ 151 Cs . Sd . to 1 , 923 persons . Yet it is promised to do that , and still to have an estate left -worth

      £ 3 < , 324 . Xor does it enter the calculation that any povtion of the £ 1310 s . Sd . is to he re-paid ; for it is distinctly laid down , " Cottages erected , and the sum of £ 15 IGs . 8 d . presented to each member ; " so re-payment cannot he expected . I have to thank you for opening my eyes on the subject , and I make the observations lhat other persons may hare their eyes opened also . lam , sir , your oibedient servant , WlLlIAM WlSH-I-SLAY-GET-ir . Xarohcth , July 1 , 18 * 5 .

      Dear William , —You , no doubt , remember the very familiar old adage , —

      " There is safety in a multitude of counsel . " So then , as you saw by the previous weok ' s " Star , " that I was to be in Lancashire last" week , you guessed , sogc prophet , that I could not , like Sir Boyle RoeWs bird , be there , and at 340 , Strand , and 54 , Great Marlborough-street , at one and the same time . But , dear Will , I am always well represented at both places ; and 1 have been at home every hour of every day since Monday last , expecting a call for your 3 s . 3 d ., and 3 d . premium , but you have not done me the honour of a visit . My friend , you object to my receiving monies at Manchester , and not knowiii » the number of shares , but , had you been as anxious

      for knowledge as you appear to be for notoriety , you might have consulted Mr . John Murray , district secretary , and he would have told you how the sum received by me was made up ; and , if not satisfied with that doable entry , you . might hare applied to the general secretary , Mr . Wheeler , whose residence is rnBiir generally known to be 243 * , Templebar , and , as he keeps a check upon both , he would have satisfied you ; and , that failing , you might have access to the treasurer ' s account ; and , all failing , you could Lave had a look at the " Star , " and then you would have been at liberty to publish a notice like the following in Lloyd ' s : —

      " CHARTIST MOUSE THAT , " . Notice to our numerous readers . " Has any person paid monies to the treasurer , subtreasurer , or general-secretary , or other officer of the ABOVE association , which has not Veen acknowledged in the columns of that rascally paper ' The Korihecit Starr " Xow , there is an open course for you , if you don't wish for a trip with your next 3 s . 3 d . from Loudon to llath , thence to Newcastle , back to Manchester ,

      and so back again , William , why did you not open your eyes as wide as they now appear to be , before you paid your first , second , and third instalment ? for you must have heard then . What a capital oculist friend Carpenter is 3 Why , man , you appear to do nothing bnt con over the rules of our society . Now , then , to show you that this multitude of counsel presents great safety , read the . following , which I found oiks morning last -week in my mouse-trap : — Wisbeach , July 2 ud , 1845 .

      TO 7 EABGES O ' COXXOB , TSQ . Sia—Having seen the letter of Mr . Hill's in Lloyd's newspaper of June 29 , pretending to be a reply to yours of thc 2 ] st , in the Northern -Star , and supposing that you would write to Mr . Hill again in your paper of next Saturday , I thought I could give you a little information resjweting the character of the man alluded to , for I lire within a short distance of where Mr . Hill lired and carlied on the business of merchant , lu com , wool , coals , spirits , & c , as well as banker , in which branches he failed about twenty years ago , and caused the complete ruin of a great many people in Wisbeach and the neighbourhood , and likewise a great excitement for a long time , for he made such fair promises , and some placed

      such confidence in him , that they bought his one-pound notes at 10 s ., 22 s ., 15 s , and even 17 s . eaoli , and thereby ruined themselves . Ids creditors receiving not more than Ss . 6 d . in the pound , in two separate payments . Some time after that , Mr . Hill again commenced business as merchant in corn , wool , coals , wine , and spirit , as welt as shipowner , common brewer , and proprietor of the Star in l ? ts East—not editor , as you stated in your letter of the 21 st , although I dare say he did chief port of the editing . You must bear in uiiu 4 that it was some years before he got into oil this imde that I have mentioned ,

      for the people were very dubious for some time . About four years ago , or somewhere thereabouts , ho failed a second time , to the tune , I am told , of £ 80 , 000 or upwards , so you may depend he caught some of them again . I can assure you that no person has caused such serious losses to the public In ani about Wisbeach as hennas , and , considering the attacks which I supposed he made upon vou , in Lloyd ' s paper of the 8 th and 15 th of June , I thought it was nothing but right that you should know a little of the wan you had to deal with ; and admiring your principles , as I always have done , I have taken the pleasure of writing you these few lines .

      Ton trill please excuse ail imperfections in my letter , as I am but a vcrj moderate scholar . I urn , your humble servant , James Knape . P . S . —He is called " Jemmy Hill , the had paper man , " at Wisbeach ; and I think you might very well give him a hint of a few of these tilings . J . K . Dear Will , I am the very last man in the world to make an iil-natured remark upon others' misfortunes ; but then , as Poor Richard says , "three re moves are as bad as one fire , " so you see that people will be cautious ; and experience makes men wise . I knew there was a something fondling you home about the chances of failure . True , it is many a good man ' s case ; but , then , ncvor put your eggs in a basket that the bottom has fallen out of . You , no doubt heard all about the £ 1 notes , and the many

      occupations of the proprietor of the Star in the East , and perhaps you will now see good reason for that gcntleman-DEALEU is eons advocating a repeal of the Corn Laws , as a snip owner as well . In faith , wc live in strange times , when poor deluded men will so speak out for themselves . I shall make no further comment upon the above letter than merely to observe , that the poor people of Peterborough and Wisbeach have not yet been gulled by the bait in my mouse-trap . Poor burned things , they dread the fire . Now , read the following letter from Drogheda , Ireland , and see how Lloyd ' s protective , considerate , virtuous people-loving editor has scared tho mice from the trap , and then read the list of subscription ' s , aud especially -the £ 15 odd and £ 2 from France . Yes , really , all from France ; and see how you and Carpenter between you have changed our namoto " UNIVERSAL Co-oriiBAiivE Lasd Association . "

      Melc , Drogheda , July 3 nd , 1 S 4 * . My Dear Sir , —I take this opportunity of returning you my most sincere thanks for your unflinching exertions in behalf of the oppressed against the oppressor , but the coasc of my trespassing on your attention is , having seen your reply to that chapter of accidents which appeared in Lloyd's , and the satisfactory manner in which you upseth is puerile reasoning , also tho bonus held out to the worktop classes from the adoption of the Chartists Co-operative Land Society . Mayl ask if persons iu Ireland can become members of it ? if so , will you , sir , have the kindness to transmit me a copy of the rules and prospectus ? By doing so you trill much oblige a number of sterling democrats in this locality ; among the rest , your sincere friend , Hccn Oabakeb . F . O'Connor , Esq .

      Dear Will , —I have the pleasure to inform you that I am in great hope of being able to carry out the plan without selling one acre of ground ; and I'll just tell you how . I think , when we purchase the land , we can raise building-money on mortgage to be paid off , as all mortgages may , with six months' notice ; and that iniess than five years every occupant may be able to pay down his quota of the redemption-money , and purchase-money , and have his holding for xvki ; best it . ee . Think of that , you dog , and that shall not stop the process of buying and subdividing .

      Now , dear Will , be sure and write to me every week ; but then let me have your letter : as by one of the most unforeseen , and strange , and unaccountable accidents in the world , you wrote the second half of your letter last week , and published it . too , and , notwithstanding this apparent paradox of the press keeping a secret , I assure you that your letter was sot in the number of Lloyd ' s sest to mb . Jsovr , is not that odd ? What a capital dodge What a protection , against being answered' -And , what a great man I am to have a whole paper printed

      To William Wish-I-May-Get-It, Esq. Mr De...

      for myself ! Will , in the number of Lloyd ' d now before me , there is this heading : — Published ox Fkidat Apteiom > ox , For dinant ]) arts only . Ah , Will , Will ! me Peterborough and Wisbeach amongst the Distant Parts ? Aud did you think that the burnt dupes there would think it a god-send to find the treasurer axt where , or to hear something of their rconey ? Now , William , after ao

      knowledging your great sen-ices , I will not call this a very shabby dodge ; but , let me tell you , that it would have been right to send some of your eyewater to the poor fellows in distant parts , as you profess to write specially for their protection . Why , then , confine your caution to the open-eyed metropolis , where all men see all things ? I'll tell you , Will—it is because Lloyd ' s publisher has received more than one notice like the following : —

      Sir ,- —You will please to send me a quire less this week . I fear ] thc dastardly anonymous attacks upon O'Connor are calculated to injure the circulation of Lloyd ' s paper , as many readers are giving it up and taking £ < fcs instead . My dear William , when I had got so far , I was favoured by Mr . Wheeler with a copy of Lloyd ' s , having the other half of your letter , and over the leader are these words : —

      PUBLISHED OS SUNDAY HORSING , Containing the Latest Intelligence of the Wceh . Ah , you cunning little rogsey poguey , so your letter is the latest intelligence , is it ? But see what a lie Carpenter told ! I mean a fib—as you don't like the word " lie . " Why , in his paper of the 23 th of June he cut your letter in two , thus : —[ We are compelled to postpone the remainder of Mr . Hill ' s letter till next week . —Ed . ]—Now , was that true ? and did he overbold it for his latest , from its importance , ov did you wish to have a peep at Friday's and Saturday ' s Star for my reply to your nonsense ? Whatever caused the mistake , William , you have got yourselves into a mess . I see nothing in your long rigmarole about the repeal of the Corn Laws to

      require even notice , further than merely to observe that you are a surprising fellow to have forced Peel , and Russell , and Cobden , and the League , into the adoption of your bread-eating plan . You know ' the story of the old man who believed that the Tenterden steeple was the cause of the Goodwin Sands * - much in the same spirit you complain that you and the other Hill had some squabbling in the two rival Stars in 1841 , and that lie Burked and " lit his pirn" with one of your letter . I have no doubt he did ; it was his common practice ; but then , William , I never refused to meet you in discussion on the subject ; but it would be no wonder if I had—a man who frightened Peel , and Russell , and Cobden , and the League , would swallow me , bones and all . You are a perfect boa-coxsiiuctor man .

      Just one word more for the present . William , as I have not received the eightpence from Saffron-hill , or the eightpencc from Coventry , or the still greater sum from Whittington and his Cat ; perhaps you have , and as small favours are thankfully received , and may be as safe in my hands as in yours , will you oblige mo by transmitting the amount for the satisfaction * of the subscribers . But , after all , you de cline to meet me in discussion—WISE MAN , YOU HAVE DONE WELL ! Have you got it yet , Will ? Ever yours , dear William , In the cause of TRUTH , FeARGUS O'CONKOS ,

      Frame. In Tho Chamber Of Peers On Friday...

      FRAME . In tho Chamber of Peers on Friday a smart discussion arose on the chapter of the budget relating to Algiers . General Castcilane condemned the attempts made to occupy so extensive a country at a cost of 100 , 000 , 000 annually to France , and with 100 , 000 men , The Jesuits . —The leading feature in tho Par * journals of Sunday is the successful termination ol Baron Rossi's mission to the Court of Rome , all doubt upon the subject having been put an end to by the following semi-official announcement in the Jfessager of Saturday night : — " The King ' s government has received news from Rome . The negotiation confided to M . Rossi has attained its object . The con

      grcgation of Jesuits will cense to exist in France , and is about to terminate of itself ; its houses will be closed and te noviciates dissolved . " The Dehats accompanies thiscomniunictition with the information that it was only six months ago that tho Government received iafonmtum of the re-estahUshmcnt of the order of Jesuits iu France ; that about that time the simultaneous reports of divers provincial procurmrt du Roi showed that houses connected with the order were forming in all directions , and it was ascertained that twenty-two houses had already been fully completed . Although the law armed ' the authorities with power for their prompt suppression , yet the Government preferred the more prudent course of appealing , in the first instance , to the spiritual

      authority , » nd M . Rossi was dispatched to Rome . The task which this diplomatist had to execute was delicate and difficult , and his success is a proof of the sound discretion which dictated the choice of so able a man . How secretly the negotiation must have been managed is proved by the fact that the French organ of the Jesuits , the Uaivers , ^ was quite blindfolded . Only three days before the authoritative announce ment in the Messuger the Jesuit journal statid , in a triumphant tone , that the negoefction had failed ; and such was generally believed to have been tlic fact . The Paris journals of Monday are mostly occupied with the " expulsion ( as it was deemed ) of the Jesuits

      from France . " The Gazette de France , & parti-pretre journal , edited by the celebrated Father de Genomic , is so hardy as to venture an insinuation against the Pope himself , who , according to tho bravo abbe , quailed before menaces recording Ins Italian dominions . The Jesuit organ declares naively that tho Papal decree has broken its heart . The National states that sixty-two master carpenters have agreed to the advance to five francs per day demanded by the operatives inconsequence of which nearly five hundred have returned to their workthose who have so returned are forming a fund for the support of their fellow workmen whose employers have not yet given in .

      The heat in Paris was intense on Sunday and Monday . The thermometer stood at two o'clock , in the shade , each day , at about 90 of Fahrenheit . A number of horses fell dead in the streets from the excessive heat . The Paris papers of Tuesday are , like those of tho preceding day , occupied principally with the expulsion of the Jesuits from France . The Opposition print and the organs of the Government continued to expre .-s their delight at this triumph , while the Legitimatist journals and La Frewe deplored it as a victory over religion itself . TheQuotidienne having announced , on authority of letters from Rome of the 28 th and 29 th ult ., that there was no truth in thestateincnts in t :, e Moniteur relative to the suppression of thu Jesuits by

      order of the Pope , the Patrie observes , that , "it was scarcely possible the Government would . publish a result of . such importance if it were not true . " However unlikely the assertion of the Quetidiennc appeared , the editor of the Patrie had , nevertheless , deemed it expedient to seek for information on the subject , and had " ascertained that the communication made to the public was copied , word for word , from the despatch addressed to the Government . That despatch was brought to Paris by a secretary *\ the French Embassy , who was to leave on Monday evening with the replv of tho French Government to the Pontifical see . " « 'Wc are confident , " adds the Patne , " that the orders of the General of the Jceuithave at this moment reached Paris . "

      Dbatii of a Republican- Leader . — The I nns journals of Tuesday announce the demise of one ol the leading Republicans of the capital , a M . Raban , an engraver , who formerly lived at the entrance ol the Palais Royal , and who , although hump backed and of a very delicate constitution , was concerned in all the movements of the Republican party since 1 S 30 . He was arrested and imprisoned several times , and remained under the surveillance of the police to his last moments .

      SPAIN . Aiakmixg State op the Capital . —Madrid , J - 23 . —From the ' appearance of the troops at the different points in this city for the last few niahts past , as sunset approaches , " it would seem as if the Government was almost in hourly expectation of f > movement . Last night , however , these appearances presented a more threatening character than forsqme time past . Groups of people wci-e seen at the 'Puerto del Sol and iu the Plaza Mayor , engaged in earnest

      conversation , and discussing the various topics of the day . It was said that the acquittal of the JBtpectador was to have been made the signal the day before yesterday for an insurrection in a liberal sense ; and that the constitution of 1 S 12 was about to be proclaimed Whether the information thus given was believed or not , the authorities , however , took good care tc provide against any casualty that might occur . The regiment La Reina Gobernadera , aiid a battery of mounted artillery , remained the whole of yesterday underarms , and ready ior action at a moment's notice , in their barracks . On account of the rumours which had been afloat the whole of yesterday , that an attempt would bo made to disarm the guard at the Post-office and the Cuscom-hotise , and , on account of

      the crowds that were assembling in the Pucrta del Sol and Plaza Major , the Captain-General appeared at-the head of a troop of cuirassiers in the latter place , and theneeproeecued to other parts of tho town . There occurred , however , nothing to . call into aetion the military force . Thegroups dispersed , and retirei ; to their homes . The guards , however , ufc the places abovementioned , remained under arms the wholo of the night : and the soldiers did not lay aside their muskets for a moment .- The guards arc still doubled , and the same precautions are taken to-day . A trilling disturbance took place at Seville on the ' 26 th .

Tun Elections , —A letter f ' ron ^ Liabon of the 30 th ult . gives the following account of ministerial infamies in relation to the forthcoming elections : —Preparations for the approaching electoral campaign are going on with unabated activity . The party in opposition profess groat confidence * of success ; but I greatly doubt they feel it . At all events , thev cannot fail to have some misgivings when they gee the multifarious tricks the government is putting in play against them . In addition to the several stratagems I have described in sonic of my hist letters , a few others have since been devised , which arc equally worthy of notice , for thcircool effrontery , and the utter disregard of public opinion which they impty . " One ' of these , and the most barefaced , is the registration as qualified voters of a great number of men whose very accent proclaims

      them at once to be natives of Galhcia , and therefore Spanish subjects . By this means , in one parish of this city , which I take , as a sample of the rest , the number of voters , which ought to be 293 , has been raised to 4 . 35 , the extra 142 consisting of Gallcgo water-carriers , who must vote with the government on pain of being deprived of their licenses should they do otherwise . If tins be a representative system of government , then assuredly it is such a one as the great Autocrat of all the Russias might safely set up in his dominions without the least diminution of his real power . After this I need scarcely add that the opposition appear to havo but a very slender chance of success . There is no use , however , in speculating any further upon the result , as in about six weeks hence the question will bo set at rest , .. tho elections boing to commence on the 3 d of August .

The doctor , it was said , would settle in Berno , anu there resume the practice of medicine . At Bale Carapagne the anti-Jesuit party have proposed the establishment of a Swiss Catholic Church upon the principle now spreading through so many , of the German states . The same party in Lucerne complain of persecution , which the authorities make no efforts to prevent .

      GREECE . Feaktul State of the Country . —Athens , June 21 st . —An official report has just been received of the destruction of the village of Ceropolis in Acarnania , which was attacked and pillaged by a band of about twenty robbers , and then totally burnt . Another village near Dragomcstre , in the same province , was surprised by another band at noon-day , who killed one of the inhabitants , severely wounded two others , and ciUTicd ^ -two of-. the principal proprietors , for tho purpose' of . compelling , them to pay " egregious ransom . " Here , in the capital , an attempt was made to break into the treasury , in spite of the guard placed there . Luckily the robbers had only succeeded in breaking open the lock of tho outer door when they were alarmed , and made their escape . A

      few days since a merchant was stopped in a carnage on the road to the Pineus , at five in the afternoon , robbed of 700 drachms ( about £ 250 ) , and was severely wounded , as well as the coachman . This daring act , committed at such an hour , in the most frequented road in Greece , where carriages are continually passing , " w imputed to persons employed by tho police . Assassinations are also becoming so frequent that no ono ventures out in the cvcning , unless well armed . Five days since , about nine at night , a young man , the nephew of Lieut .-Coloncl Karatassos , one of the King's aides-de-camp , was stabbed in the back a moment after he had quitted his house , and left dead iu the street . No one can imagine the motive of this crime . The day before yesterday , the

      printer of the Courier d * Athcnes , an opposition journal , wm stabbed in the street in open day , by an unknowi ruffian , who effected his eseapo . It would be endless to report all the outrages which are hourly committed , and which keep the population in a constant state of alarm and terror . The conduct of the govewiment in the mean time is most extraordinary ; it appears that its indulgence towards certain brigands is inexhaustible . The Pretse states that a letter from Athens , received by way of Trieste , mentions , that Grivas had been killed " in a duel , fought with Kallergi , the King ' s aid-de-camp . The cause , of this duel was lately detailed in the Herald . Some apprehension is said to be felt . on account of the number of Grivas ' s followers , which amount to 2 , 000 desperados .

      James Majoural , Manuel Joze Alves , I ' iorence Ribererro , Joze Maria Mnrtuino , Antonio Joaquiin Sebiist ' m dc Santi , Manuel Antonio , Joze Antonio Mr . Enstlake appeared / or the prosecution , and stated the facts of the case . It appeared thattuc locus in quo was on the coast of Africa , at a placo called Lagos , near the Bight of Benin , and the time February last . The details of the entire case were of the most dreadful description . It appeared that on the 27 th February the boats of the Wasp boarded a suspicious Brazilian vessel , called the Felicitado , which , being found fitted for slaves , was taken as a prize . Very soon after , another very suspicious vessel was descried , which proved to be the Echo , having a cargo of iSi ( who had been iS hours -without food ) on board .

      Lieutenant Stupart , who was in command , took charge ot the Echo , and directed Mr . Palmer and nine men to take charge of the Felicitadc , into which ship nincfrom the Echo were removed . The next thine that Lieutenants tuparthcard ofhcrjwns , thatslicliad bees recaptured by those on board , but he little deemed that the awful tragedy which would bo detailed in evidence fiad been committed . The Felicitadc hove in sight of the Echo , and communicated the intelligence just stated ; but , being a faster sailer , made off . Fortunately , however , the Star within a very short time recaptured the Felicitadc , thon sailing under an assumed name , and the appearance of her decks were such m loft no doubt that a horrible conflict had recently token place . About four-und-twenty hours after tho prize had becntaken , three men volunteered » statement , to tho effect that the slaver was really called tho Felicitadc , and had been jrcviously taken by a midshipman and party of nine men , who had all been

      murdered by the crew of the slaver . A book was found on board bear . ng the name of Lieutenant Stupart , of tiie Wasp , and this left no doubt of the cor . rcctiiess of the evidence offered by the approvers . As if the tragedy which had taken placo was not sufficiently complete , the gallant officer who was placed in command of the slaver the second time , Lieutenant Wilson , had endured the utmost degree of suffering . Tho Felicitadc , during a most terrific storm , was overset , aud Lieutenant Wilson , with his men , were twenty days on a raft , exposed to the greatest danger , and momentarily expecting death . He saw no less than five of his men fall off the raft , but was at length providentially picked up by the Cygnet . The gallant officer , though he had been exceedingly ill , was happily sufficiently recovered to bo present that day . Lieutenant Stupart and Thomas Lethuridge were then examined , and detailed at great length the facts of this shocking case . Tho inquiry was adjourned to the next dav .

      Wednesday . — 'Ihe excitement occasioned by the examination of . the alleged murderers of Mr . Palmer and the boat ' s crew of the Wasp , has not in the least abated . The vicinity of the Guildhall is crowded , as also the hall itself . Lieutenant Wilson ( iato of tho Star ) and Lieutenant Ilodgkinson ( of tho Caledonia ) were examined , after which the captain ol the Felicitade , named Cuquirebio , was next sworn and examined through the interpreter . We extract from his evidence that portion wherein he describes the butchery of the unfortunate Englishmen . Ho was a prisoner in his own ship when the Echo shiver , being boarded by the English , part of her crew was transferred to the Felicitadc . The next morning Serva , captain of the Echo , proposed to the witness that the

      slave crews should rise against and murder the English . Here is Cuquirebio ' s statement : —Tlio prisoner Serva also said to me , " The Englishmen are not armed ; I havo four men I can put confidence in ; we'll kill all the Englishmen , and then we'll go and take the brigantino . " I replied , "Don't you recollect there are the British cruisers around us ? The brigs and the steamer arc outside , and if wc do it wo may be taken in the night , and then we shall bo put to death . " Serva told mo I had no sensc , ' and I replied , "I will go and tell the officer if jou are that way inclined and are so vicious . " Serva's brother-inlaw , who was present , thon said to . me , "Don't say anything to the officer , and I will say no more about it . " Some exchanges took place , and ultimately Mr .

      Palmer and some English sailors were left on board the Felicitadc . The officer having washed himself , sat down on tho quarter deck , talking with tho quartermaster . I went to the head of the vessel and presently , on looking , round I saw Serva looking down the hatchway and calling to . tho prisoners to come up on deck . He , Serva , said , " Now is our timo to commit the murder , for the sentry is asleep ; there are three asleep and two of them are drunk , and now is our time , for there are but two mon nwako aft . " On hearing this I ran over to Serva and said " No . " By this time the men wore coming up tho hatchway , and , finding Serva was determined , 1 ran to the officer and the quartermaster , and told them by signs what was going on . The quartermaster rose and

      ran towards the hatchway . lie then took up a handspike and struck the men on the heads as they came up , with a view to prevent their reaching tho deck . I then ran to the English sailor who was at the helm , and told him by signs what was going on . Ho left the helm , and 1 took charge of it . 'Ifiis man went forward , and , taking up a handspike , assisted tho quartermaster . The prisoner Serva then camo aft , and called to some men who were in a l » at at tho stern to come on board , but only one did j » . Sorva then remained aft , and called out to the prisoners , " Kill them ! kill them ! kill them ! heave them into the water ! " I saw one of the English sailors receive a cut from one of the prisonci-s ; he fell , and was thrown overboard . He did not fall into the water ,

      but seized hold of the shrouds , and then the prisoner Joaquim cut him over his head and arms , and cut iff his fingers , so that he , was obliged to let go his hold , and he fell into the sea . While he was being cut he cried out , " Oh , Portuguese , don ' t kill rac ' . " While this was going on , all the prisoners now present wer e on deck , taking part in killing the sailors . Serva continued aft , and called out " Kill them , kill them ! " The prisoners used knives eight or nine inches long , with sharp points and white handles ; and these were concealed insido tho waistbands of their trousers . I saw the prisoner Majoural run after the young _ officer ( Mr . Palmer ) , and run his knife into his side ; tho officer fell against the bulwarks and Majoural took him up by his feet and threw him overboard . All this time I had hold of the lfclni , but did net interfere for fear of what they might do to me . The quartermaster

      fought desperately ; ho struck the prisoner Alvas on the head , and then pitched him overboard , but he swam round to the boat , and was picked up . The quartermaster struggled forward with the other men , and knocked several of them down . 1 Mieve he would have overpowered them all , but some of them got behind him -and stabbed him in the back and side . He then fell , and died on the deck , which was covered with his blood . All tho prisoners present , except Serva , were concerned in this . The English sailors , who were asleep , were stabbed and thrown overboard . The twd Kvoomcn belonging to the Wasp jumped overboard and swam away . When it was all over , Serva came up to me and said , " Well , captain , what do you think of it now ? Don't you think we have done the . thing that is just , in killing these Englishmen ? " At the conclusion of Cuquirebio's evidence the inquiry was again adjourned .

      Shockixg OccunnEXCK . —Oxford , Jolt 5 . —About twelve o'clock this morning the inhabitants of this city were engrossed in lamenting to each other the melancholy death of Mr . Thomas Shears ! , grocer , in the High-s ' trect , who had committed suicide by throwing himself into the street , and out of a window it is supposed three stories high . During the last week or ten days it has been understood that \ ir . Sheard was in pecuniary difficulties , and the fact being mentioned , it caused fresh expressions of surprise from each person that hoard it , for no man was more looked up to , nor did anv possess the confidence of his fellow-citizens to a greater extent than Mr . Sheard His difficulties were no sooner known than «* niYy

      friends rallied round him , . and on examination of his affairs found he would , with time to arrange matters , bo able to pay 20 s . in the pound , and were prepared to guarantee the same to his creditors . But the shock had been too much for his over arxious temperament , and it was soon apparent that his situation had had such an effect on his mind as to make it necessary he should be constantly watched . How he eluded the vig ilance of his attendants , or whether ho threw himself from the window or from the top of his own house , is a matter of uncertainty even tc those who witnessed his fall into the street . He died almost before he could be lifted from the ground , lie has , wc regret to add , left a widow aud seven young children . ] ;
