Mr. Editor:— 1 “Quo of tho Sovereign People”
has lately taken lltolihmty to compare the pnllcu
of our city to that “jolted down” by Sltakspoure,
nnd though, us huticsi Dogberry himself says,
“comparison* tire odorous” (“dinii*), I nut dis
posed to think this one, too nearly true. Thi*
principle of mercy, which scorns to bo engrafted
upon the Dogberry* ol our own city, is but too
dourly obvious, and a* they seldom or never bring
thieves to justice, It would scoot thut they did let
them show what they are, hy allowing them uitlcal
out of their clutches. Your correspondent having,
however, canvassed this subject lolly, utid shown
his reading, 1 too, would «how mino, and nt the
same time show up our public functionaries. You
have doubtless read,—and so probably have all out
city fathers to their profit, judging frenPlIiu way in
which they copy tho oxatnples therein laid dowty
Knickerbo Iter’s history of New York. If you Itnvo
done soul a distant day, pray do so again, not only
to refresh your memory of it* iniiniiulilo wisdom,
but to eqjny its humour anew. There is too, so
much in the hook fitting tlie shoulder* of the faulty,
whether us compluinur* or complained of, that all
menwould do well to read and think of it. As I am
otto of tho former, I shall take tho liberty to apply
somoof thoHo parallel cases to tho luttor,—oven to
tho bucks of our City Council.
y'l’Tliu first example in City Government which ap
pears to have been implicitly followed, was thut of
the renowned Willioltnu* Kieft, bettor known as
William the Tkstv. This mutt was tho first dis
coverer of that powerful engine of war and govern
ment, called a proclamation, nml which now seems
to have been so efficient or at least of such constnnt
u»o, front General Jackson and Governor Fuirfiold,
down to our own City Marshal. Tho latter in tho
most pnteut manner proclaims against horse* and
ctnvs running at large, against tho nlioottng of night
hawk* within city limits, utnl against all the vuriuu*
jnfructnnm of tho City Ordinances; the Bonrd of
Health prnclnim again «t nuisance*, and his honor
tho Mayor against vagrants und incondiuries. Whli
what success may readily bo dceii, for cattlo still
run at lurge; tnulos still annoy our old friend Tanta
lus; (llii,’ lie dares no longer complain.) gun* are
still fired mi our common*; noisome smells sultttc
the nostril* at every corner; and thieves and burglars
are still undetected. Still 1 cannot but hope, that
these proclamations like tin,so of William tlie Testy,
will otto day full into disrepute, utnl more uclive
meusures follow, tho’ far lie it from me to wish,
that any of our city otKcinls or deputies should iv»
ccivo in tho discharge of their duties tlie sumo in
dignity that some of hit did, namely, n kick on the
crupper. Certain it I*, that proclamations cannot
remove the lu icks that have Inin under font till sum
mer el tho corner of lluliersham anil Broughton st*.
u* well ns sonto other such obstruction*, while it
is equally certain, tlml they (the latter) cannot offer
any active rcsi-mnre.
Another striking point of comparison is, the
same disposition exhibited hy William Kinft “ to
multiply laws, and tint* secure the property, the
parsons and tlm morals iff the people, hy sorroimd-
ii.'g them in it nmntior with mon-trap* and spring-
guns, and besetting ov-u tho HWoct sequestered
walk* of private life with quickset hedges, so that
u man could scarcely turn, without tho risk of on-
countering some of these pestiferous protectors.”
The consequence was, a* in our day, that “ ho was
lontimiuliy coining petty laws for every petty offence
that occurred, until in time they lieenmn too Hunter-
to bo remomltercd, and romnmed like those of
certain modern Legislators, mere doud letter*,—
revived occasionally, for tho purpose, of indiviii ail
oppression or to entrap ignorant offenders. 1’etty
courts consequently began to tipjiunr, when the
lnw was administered with nearly ns much wisdom
and impartiality us in the nugust tribunals of the
present day. Tlie offences of lltu rich wore dis
creetly winked nt—for fear of hurting tho feelings
of their friends,—but it could never be laid to the
charge of tho vigilnm. burgomasters, that they suf
fered vice to skulk unpunished, under the disgrace
ful rags of poverty.” In this latter point our pre
sent government shows the quality of mercy, differ
ing tint* from this illustrious example, nnd were it
not, that they were thus impartial to rich nml poor,
I would recommend lit., plan of punishment adopt
ed by tho Testy William. This wus a gallows hv
which culprits wro suspended, hy thn waistband
of tho pnntaluons in-tcml of tho nock, thus making
them to dangle nnd sprawl between hnaren nnd
earth for thn umusoment of tho citizens. But nlas 1
there an, no subjects fur punishment in these days,
for every man,—good or bud—rich or poor,—bus
n vote, which tho judge presiding, might lose hy
condemning tho accused, oven though guilty. In
strument* of punishment are therefore superfluous,
and hence some philosophers presumo that there is
no guilt or crime, aud talk about the virtue of the
people, tho improvement of the age, &c.
I have thus quoted to you, Mr. Editor, aotno few
passages from Mr. Knickerbocker's vnluahlo work,
—and have tl ereliy practically proved the value of
history. Thus will it appear that tho experience of
tho past, and its wisdom will he imbibed. Titus
may tho enlightenment of those who havo gono be
fore us, benefit the present und futurd, in thn sume
manner that our worthytCuuncil has gained wisdom
from the example of William Kiel), tlie second Go
vernor of New Amsterdam. Yours,

[COMMUNICATED.]
Wc have cut tbe following from tbe Charleston
Gaiiier:—
Tho British government has concluded a contract
with private individual* for an exten-ivo steam
communication between England and tho West In
dies and the [sirs of South America; and, the pack
et* are also to call at < harleston, S. C., if not at
another of nur Southern ports. Tho steam ships
are to befatrteen in number, and of 1400 tons bur
then—nnd there are to be two mails per month to
and fro.
In tbe report of Parliamentary proceeding*, we
do not observe anv thine more definito than this,
“The numlie* of steam-rs required (for a two
weekly mail) tcouLl be 14, and tlie restdt would be,
that they would have communications, between tho
whole Northern part of South Amorica, and the
whole Southern part of the United States, and with
th* British Islands.” If the Courier has any other
authority for appropriating t is to Charleston or nny
of oar Southern ports iu particular, we should like
to know it, as Savannah is equally intcro-ted. And
we hope,m ireover, that by rite time this communica
tion :* perfected (the summer of 1841) a* propos
ed, wa can *how equal claims and offer superior
adeantagft, for becoming its focus for the South,
ern p,rt of the U. S., being nearer the West In

MONTREAL, Wednesday morning, Sent. 11.
The Court met Imi night at half past 11 o'clock,
for the purpore of discharging thujury, which could
not ngree on a vor- ict in the case ofJulbort, for tho
winner oftho 1 tie Lieutenant Weir, of the 32nd re»
g iment. Immediately on it being pronounced from
the bench that the jury were discharged, there was
a general rush upon thorn by a mob, which hud col
lected, armed wjih sticks. Tho scene which fol-
. „ lowod I* beyond deseriptnm. While tho mob was
to suffer, though I have done nothing worthy o£ beating the ten jurors—all Canadians, except Aiwa-
ter, an American, and McKerrickor, a Scotchman,
the ruth to the doors was tremendous I w as not pres
ent, but havo heard that not nag in the shape of
order wit* restored till the arrival of detachments of
thu Grenadier Guard, and 7th Hussxr*. The pri
soner had to lie escorted to the jail by u party ol
tho latter. Hud ini* not h< on dona tlf* province

up to llioir instructions. Tho Duko of Weilin.toii,
with his umiul iiigncitv, saw tho conspquonccs of
the measure, mid boldly opposed its missing, but it
wont thn third reading without a division. His
Gruco declared hiinsolf to bo most earnestly devol
v'd to the universul itliolitimi of slavery, but lio loll
convinced, if tho bill passed, that hy its very pro
vision the law of uttliuu* would bo violated. Ho
thou said that—
“ Tho bourding nnd smirching of foreign vessols
by tho commander* of cruisers und otliur vessels in
her Majesty’s sorvico, without duo nxaminntiou of
papers, would ho contrary to existing treaties lie-
twuon her Majesty nnd tlio different power* of Eu-
ropo. Such breaches of treaties must Inevitably
lead to discussion of a serious character. IIo would
nut tho cass of a French vessel in Intitudu 15 N.,
iongitudo 30, W. Ho would suppose site was do-
mined, hoarded, and searched oy onu of her Mu-
josty's cruisers. Then hn would n*k tlieir Lonl-
ship* whether that would nut be u limnch of our
treaty with the King of tlie Fro licit 4 If U wore n
Spanish ship, it would also bn a broach of treaty
with her Cntiiolio Majesty. This tnit't hnppnn la
tlio nature of tlio service. French vessels must ho
smirched, under siiclicircuinsiutiecs. British officers
should not hu nut in n situtuiu'i which inudo them
jiuliiu to cmninit mistakes. The country must til-
tilt lately suffer. “ I tun of opinion,” said tho No-
hlo Duko, “ that tlio political power of this country
has it* finiudiili’in in justice. My opinion is, that
if mod ration u..d jnsticn were Ini'iislicd in iliplo-
mnr.y from ell tlio Caliinut* uf tlio world, they ought
to find un usyliim in tlio British Govommont.”
They ought to take tint manly course of going to
war with tlm.io countries which violated treaties,
rather than ptirstio a sinister course. If they fol
lowed the principles of tho hill, war must bu tlie
cimseqiumco. Tho right of search would hu execu
ted upon thu vessels of nnri^n* with which wo liutl
no treaties whatever. Whatever might bo tho foul
ing on the ptirL of America tin thu slave trade, there
was no individual iu thn Unilud States who had not
tho strangest fooling on thu question uf suuruhing
vessels by tho cruiser* of this country. Indeed, thu
exumiso of that power wn* resisted in nil purls of
tlm world. lie certainly d : d rt'coinmoiui tlio Nu
bia Lord to consider thu diflicultios ho would linvu
to meet lit currying this hill into uxccutiun.”
A proto*! lias been entered on tin; Journal of thn
Lords against the hill, utnl signed hy Wellington,
Lyudldirst, Fitzgerald, Uuvurly, llosslyu, Devon,
Ormonde, Wicklow, Rodesdule, Hu warden, Can
terbury, Shaftesbury, Glongnll, und Do L'Islo and
Dudley. The following are tlio eighth and ninth
clausos of tho protest, and thoy alludo to tho United
State*:
8. “Becatira tho provisions of tho hill convey
powers to thu Lord High Admiral and to thu Secre
taries of State, to give instructions tnliur Majesty's
cruisers,and to give authority ton 1 person*, which
must occasion hreuclu-s of tho stipulation* of her
Majesty's engagements with nearly ull tho powers
of Europe, if oxurciscd as limy may and probubly
will bo.”
9. “Because thooxerciso of tho powers given
hy the bill to the Lord High A dmirul and to tho
Socrotniioi of State may tom) to tlio dominion mid

the mutual detention amlsomchuf vessols for lltn
purpose ol preventing the traffic called tho slave
trade, may ho that such detention and smirch may
lie resisted or retaliated, nml evontondy lead toother
measures ofwur.”
This protest was signed on the 15th, and on tho
19th another was entered in which thuru is thu fol
lowing important claum:
“B.-caii»e thn exorcise iff tho right of detention,

ty ”
I have boon thus parthul >r hccaiisa lam well
nwuro of tho jonlous feeling existing throughout die
U. S. on this subject,—u fooling which every nation
cumfbt but appreciate nml udiniru. That the bill
will luud to uon-id'irtible discus-ion in the U. Suites,
l nm n!so convinced, nml thnt it will ho most severe
ly denounced hy the South, there can ho but littlo
if nny doubt. All parties connecXd with tlio
trulic nro likely to arouse tho spirit of your country
on tho first search or seizure of u vessel sailing
dor ‘Tho Slur Spangled Banner;* but I do
think, nay I am convinced, that no muo who glories
in tho name of a citizen of thn United States, would
or cuuldradction whnt tho Earl of Minto, tho first
Lord cil'fno Admiralty, nnn-iunccd to be tho inten
tion of thdsn engaged in this horriblo traffic. His
Lord-diip said,
“ Ho hud stated tho suhstauca oftho orders which
had been issued to prevent tho traffic in slaves, and
ho should udd to thut information a stntemont of i
diabolical plot entered into by tho slave dealers,
und his hopa wus, that through the press, persons
might be put upon their guard and onubled to avoid
tho consequences of an atrocfoiu design to deprive
them uf life. Tbe nolde lord ulludud to a fottor
which ho had received since this subject w*s last
before the House. The letter wn* from an officer
on the coast of Brazil station, in which he suited,
on the authority of Sir George Jackson, that on tho
examination of the papers found on bonrd the Ma
fia. n slaver capture-1 by Her Majesty’s ship Gre
cian, a diabolical plot had been discovered, concert
ed between the slave traders nnd thoir agents,
ugninal tho vessel* and crows of till* coUhtry. Tho
instruction* sent to the captains and agents of tho
vessels engaged in th« slave trade concluded by
giving tlmm advice, in caso of capture, to poison ^
a cask of wine, and poison the water upon deck, so*
that it might bn drunk by any ofeho crow* of hur

by saying—this is thu only way to dual with these
English.”

NEW YORK, Sept, ldtbv
SrANisn Scnn. Ammtad.—IVe regret'that wb
have to suy thut our friend Don Joso Ruts bus not
yet been uhlo to write the narrative of his’ awful
voyage, us his henltli is'mtieli impnired in conea-
qunure of hi* long end creel suffering*. Wo expect
lm wu vor to bo able to publish the nurrutive in. our
Vjxt number, '
•In the mean time we will give a brief answer tar
several writers of article* published in tba newspa
per*, and to some editors who hava manifested o-
pinion* opposed todefivering up or surrendering tbw-
-laves, opinion* based either upon ther mere euepi-
cion that the black* were imported intotb* Island
of Cuba In violation of rite Spanish laws, or upon
the allegation that publio opinion in ibis couqtiybeiof
in favor of the blacks, such surrender would be too
much against the wishes of this nation*
Upon this first point we reply,—that tbe nation
to which Spain-has conceded the greatest latitude
on matter* of slavery, Is England, and that-tho
Spanish government ha* never acknowledged the
right of English Court* to decide'by themselves
cases of slavo prizes; but on the contrary tho c—
mauders ef English vessel*, whenever they *et
slavo ship tuko it to Ilavunaand delivered It u
th" ntixod committee,* and it ia Ibis tribunal w
'"H
declares tho captured black* free or q
And let it be borne in mind, that the ,<
vosscl coming di.'f tly from Africa ^
sent* a very simplo case, and one which -i
further proof. If then the English
right to capture such vessels, luty.o n
Clare thn black* free without the _ —
mixvd committee, how can tlie government of (bn
United Stauaor if* Courts assume socb right or
authority in wo present cu**, when' tbo owner* of
tlm black* prasoul documentary proofs of having
