SONG FOR THE MILLIONS . God of the world ! in mercy bend thine ear , "Unto & starring natisn ' s grievous prayer ; Let not the stifled sigh and homing tear Ba vain appeals for thy protecting care . O ! stretch thy strong right arm to succour those Who hungers pongs and poverty endure . God of the millions crush thy people ' s foes , And in thy mercy save the suffering poor . Thou great First Cause , eternal , just and good , "Whose attributes are charity and love ; Shall not thy people share alike the food Which Thon hast sent in plenty from above ? Shall partial laws , made by usurped power , For evsr curse the nations of the earth 1 Shall millions of thine Image ever cower , And glorious freedom seres wake to birth ?
Is it thy will that men ehall grieve , and pine , And die nssuccoured , helpless , and unknown ? Thou who can'st see the slavery in the mine—Thou who ean ' st hear from thence the miner ' s groan Thoa wiliest not that this sfcouldever be ; In an thy works fair purity is found . The winds , the waves—all element * are free— - Shall man alone in fetters base be bound ? Perish the minion formed of basest clod , Whose dastard soul ignobly does not dare In face of day to supplicate his God , That all may eqwl privileges share . Giver of life and light come to our aid Soothe Thou onr anguish , lusten to our call , Lit the oppressors in the dust be l&U , And freedom give exulting joy to all .

These little works axe evidently intended to be useful , and they are well calculated to answer the € ad designed , and to bs safe guides to visitors , such as visitors of bus limited information -would natarally desire . They have a merit which catalogues , even when put forth by authority , do not always possess ; that of accuracy , JIneh paius has been , taken by the Editor , more especially in ihe National Gallery , on this point ; and it is much to the credii of the Trustees that they have pernftied it to be sold at tha entrance to that collection . Some of the names of the paintings are accompanied with appropriate rotes . This gives additional value to the Guide , and Wfi hope that a similar plan will be adopted in future editions of the others , as it would enhance materially their valne as guide books to the public .

UNITED STATES . By the arrival of the Arcadia , which came to anchor in the Mereey , lass Saturday morning , important intelligence i 3 received relative to the boundary question , which is believed now to be finally Bettled . The National Inidugeneer of the 20 th uli . has thefoDowing remarks on the negotiation : — "Lord Ashbunon is believed to hare he'd ont long for the entire Madawaska settlement . Bat the Maine comr missioners are said to have been as immovable as
¦ any four pine stnmp 3 on the disputed territory . So Maine , under the arrangement , goes to the rirer St . John ' s . It is net unlikely , we learn , that the line which the Duteh arbiter decided for , the line tti the St . John ' s and the St . Francis , vriil be agreed to . But then Maine gets wbat the Dutch king did not give her , the navigation of the river ; and this trebles the valne of all her tall pine trees . We 3 twardly of the 5 i . FrancJs , England takes a tract of ssountain land , untimbered , and of no earihjy valne bat as & boundary ; and she relinquishes to the "United States Rouse ' s-point , the key of Lake Champlsin , and & large -territory heretofore supposed to belong to New Yoik and Vermost , bnt which turns ont to lie north of the 45 th degree of latitude , and is
therefore a part of Canada . It is said to be , and probably is , in consequence of thi 3 cession , that the United States Government agrees to pay a sum to each of the States of Maiae and Massachusetts for i the acres they hare parted with ; not more than a ; quarter as njnch , however , as General Jackson ; offered to give to Maine alcae , during his administration in the year 1832 . It is thought there are questions of boundary further up , as the secretary of Efe&te has summoned here the commissioners , &c . Trho ran the line , or endeavoured to do so , under the treaty of Ghent ( but could not always agree ) , j from the river of St . Lawrence to the Lake of : Woods ; and it is snpposed that all remaining questions , in that far-off world , will be settled . "
The Weekly Herald of the 30 th says— " We have Scared highly important intelligence from Wash- i Jn ^ ton , indicating that the new treaty with England j " •^ probably be rejected at the senate of the Unite d *?**«* j and that the whole of our commercial rela-i « aaa" « mh thai power will ie thrown open to the j wmfls of the wide ocean .

are now informed , positively , that the democralio Benatora—particularly those in favour of Mr . Van Boren—are already out in opposition to the treaty , denouncinsit as anti-national and anti-American Mr . Silas Wright and Mr . Buchannan are _ probably both of this opinion . On the other side , it is also stated that Mr . Mangum , aad those who act with him , intend to assume a similar position . A caucus or confutation wac , however , to beheld on Monday , to detdfeaine what line of oonduct they would adopt . The chances were that the Ultra-Whig 3 would assume the same grounds as the Ultra-Locofocos had , and that the treaty would be rejected by a large voti . This intelligence may be relied upon . Is is obvious , therefore , that our relations with England are in a more titsklish condition than they have been for a quarter of a century past . We are assured that on the rejection of the treaty , Xord Ash-burton will immediately return , home in the Warspite , and Mr . Fox will demand his passports and follow him . "

Fbauds at the CcsioH hocsb—An important inquiry is now pending at the custom-house , connected with fraud to a great extent on the revenue , having been committed by parties holding high and responsible situations . Already seven officers have been suspended . One of the officers has absconded . —Times . . Qcid pso Qoo . —An Englishman on lac ding at Calais , called for a barber . One was speedily in attendance , and the traveller thus addressed him " My dear fellow , I am extremely sensitive in the
njatterof tha beard ; here is a gaiRea if you ehave me without cutting ; there is a pair of piEtols ; if you cut me , I will send the contents throngh your brain on the instant . " " Fearnot , " said the barber , and away he went to work with the utmost care , circumspection , and delicaoy of operation . The task being completed , the enchanted Englishmen observed , "You were not afraid of tho pistols thon . " M No , my lord . " "And why ? " "Because , " replied the barber , "if I had been unlucky enough to make a slip , I would have cut your throat . "
At Wells Assizes , last week , the Reverend Thos . John Theobald , Rector of Nunney , was tried for two criminal assaults on Caroline Dornis , a housemaid it the Rectory . The prosecutrix described the assaults as having taken place , the one in Mr . Theobald ' s dressiBg-room , where she went to take some hot water one morning , and the other at night in her own bed-room , which she had been providpd with at the defendant ' s special desire apart from the cook . She did not tell Mrs . Theobald , who wa 3
very near her confinement ; but she told the cook and her aunt of the firet assault , who advised her no » to leave her place , as Mr . Theobald promised not to repeat the offence . She left the house on the morning following the second attack , and told her aunt . Cross-examination drew from the prosecatrix that she had some time back admitted one Piper to the closest intimacy ; and before Mr . Cockbaru had concluded his address for the defence , or called evidence , the Jury interrupted the trial and acquitted tne prisoner .
Rb-Assesblikg of Parliament . —We have heard a rum our that it is the intendon of ministers toreassemble Parliament in a short time , in order to pass a Coercion Act for the manufacturing districts . We notice the rumour , to express our entire aud complete disbelief in it . Though the manufacturing population have ceased to labour , and in many cases have forced others to cease from labour , the actual outrages committed by them , taking all circumst&sces into consideration , have not been of an aggravated character . With the exception of their
conflict with the police at Manchester , they have caused no deaths , and itflicted no wounds . They have broken windows , and in the Potteries havo burned down houses ; but for these offences , particularly the latter , which is a heinous crime , the law already provides . Additional penal laws , or a Coercion Act , might exasperate the p .-ople , but could not prevent offences , and would injure trade . It would go far to reduce the manafactuncrg districts to the condition of Ireland . Sach a policy wonld be , indeed fatal , and we give the rnmour that Sir R . Peel intends to adopt it an emphatic denial . — -Sun .
Ihpt oest Robbery bt a dashingly dressed Female . —Caution to Tradesmen . —On Saturday , information was . given at the different police stationhouses of a most impudent robbery committed on the preceding evening by a dashingly-dressed female . It appears that on Friday evening a carriage drove up to the shop door of Mr . John Metcalf , jeweller , Pall-mall , out of which a fashionably-dressed female , abont thirty years of age , alighted , and entered the shop . She spoke in a mixture of French and English , and requested to be shown some diarnotd rings . A variety were placed before her , out of which she selected four , of a half-hoop pnttera , the value of which was £ 100 . She then represented herself as the wife of Count De Morel ,
private secretary to the French Ambassador , and desired that the rings with a bill should be sent to the honse No . 39 , Albion-street , Hyde Park , at half-past seven o ' clock , when the amount of the latter would be paid . The rings were sent at the time named , and the Countess , who it appears took care to be close to the door , informed the shopman that she wished to show them to & lady in the honse . The shopman , having no suspicion in the matter , readily contented to her wish ; but the Countess no sooner got hold of the valuables than she "bolted , " and the shopman , to his great consternation , found that she had only taken a lodgiDg in the house on the same morning , and he was obliged to return home minus the rings or their value .
Mubder at Swansea . —On Tuesday morning last , the . town of Swansea was thrown into a state of very great excitement , in consequence of a report that a poor Irishman , named John Bowling , bad been murdered in cold blood early that morning bv some five men . It appeared by the evidence adduced on the coroner ' s inquest , that a quarrel had taken place early on Tuesday morning between seme Irish women , who lived in the same court as the deceased . The fire men charged with the crime were attracted to ths spot by the noise . Soon after those men attempted to take indecent liberties with the women—spoke of their intention of passing the night with them , which conduct some of the Irishmen resented . BI 0 W 3 ensued , and the Irishmen were worsted , and two of them beaten dangerously . Soon after , the deceased , John Bowling entered the
court , and said , "What is ail this noise about !" when the five men said , "We will soon let you know , you Irish ; " and with that-he was cut down with a hatchet , and fell dead at once . After he had fallen he was kickeiand Bt&bbed repeatedly , and his wife , in attempting to save him , received very dangerous irvjuries . An inquest yy&s held on Tuesday , and adjourned to Wednesday , for the purpose . of receiving further evidence ; but , from the evidence already produced , there cannot be the slightest doubt of the guilt of the five men , " as all equally participated in the destrnction of the unfortunate deceased . Another Irishman who ran to his assistance was so severely kicked , that no hopes are entertained of his recovery . The police were most active , and apprehended all the prisoners in the course of the
morning . F . XT £ > -SIY £ FOBGEBIBS BT TH £ TeSTHY & . ERK OP St . Luke , Middlesex . —Considerable consternation prevails among tho rate-payers of the parish of St . Luke , Middlesex , in consequence of the discovery that Mr . Joseph Barton , who for above four years has been vestry clerk , and has also occupied the siiuation of clerk to the trustees , had committed forgeries on the treasurer by means of forged checks , to an amount between £ 3 , 000 and £ 4 , 000 . About a mon . h a » o he asked permission of the Board of trustees to be allowed leave of absence for a few days ; with his family . The board graDted him a week , when he went cut of town , as was supposed to Ramsgate or Margate , and left his son , who was bis
assistant , to transacthis business during bis absence . Last Monday , as he was some days bejond his time , that being board-d . y , it was discovered that a forgery had been committed through the means of the banker ' s cheques , to which the names of persons alleged to be trustees were attached , but who did not belong- to the board . It is the practice when a cheque is drawn out , for two of the trustees to affix their signatures to it , when it is countersigned by their clerk . An inquiry was in consequence made at the backer-, Messrs . Masterman and Co ., to ascertain howthesignaturesoiassumed trustees could have succeeded in having cheques cashed , when in the list of trustees which isforwarded to the bankers such names were not included , as having been those of such persons
who were returned at the antecedent Easter election , when it was found , to the surprise of the trustees , that , the names had been transmitted to the banker . It was then discovered that , in addition to the autographs , which had been sent to the bankers after the . blaster election of trustees , and which is always done subsequent to an election , the clerk had added the autographs of three imaginary trustees , and that in defrauding the parish he bad made use of these fictitious names for that purpose . From that time to the day on which their clerk absconded , not the slightest suspicion was raised that he was acting dishonestly to the board . As far as has been ascertained , above £ 3 , 0 C 0 has been obtained by means « f these forged checks ^ from the bankers , and which it is believed has been entirely changed for gold at the bank , as ,
for a fortnight previous to the 5 th inBt ., Le was in the habit of Bending a person there with notea , for which the person brought back gold . In one day twenty " £ 10 notes were bo exchanged . Application was made on Friday to the Lord Mayor , at the Mansion House for a warrant to apprehend him , and which would be placed in the hands of the Forresters . It is supposed that he has gono with his family , which consists " of his wife , a son , and four danghtere to America . The trustees have effered £ 2 uO reward Jvr his apprehension . A few weeks ago Keid . who was one of the beadles of St . Luke ' s , and who was previously a servant of the ( x division , snddenly absconded , when it was discovered thathe had been borrowing money of various tradesraea in the parish , in sums varying from £ 10 to £ 59 . 3 ~

The Mceder at Highbuby . —On Friday it was ordered by government that Mrs . Daly , the widow of Timothy Daly , the murdered polioeman , should be paid £ 450 from the treasury . Mott , the baker , who was wounded , £ 50 , and Moss the polioeman , 420 . The two latter persons are perfectly reoor vered , and are now at their usual vocations . Moss is performing duty in the N division . The tbial op Mrs . Byrne , for the murder of her husband , closed on Monday , after lasting two days . The body was found in Mr . Byrne ' s bed , in a state of great decomposition . Several medical witnesses
were examined , the general tenour of whose evidenoe was , that the appearance of the body Indicated death by strangulation , but not with sufficient certainty to induce conviotion . The arguments for the defenae were , that death must have been produced by apoplexy or epilepsy , the result of excessive intoxication ; and that Mrs . Byrne must have partaken of the intoxicating drinks to such an extent ae to be unconBoious of what was passing around her . The Jury returned a verdiot of " Not Guilty , " which the prisoner heard with the same indifference that she had manifested throughout the trial .
A Labouring man was discovered last week in tha footman ' s waiting hall at Windsor Castle . He had . been lying for an hour on a bench near a staircase leading to the suite of private apartments and the Royal nursery . He was taken before the Earl of Liverpool , Lord Steward of the Household ; to whose interrogatories he replied , that he had that day walked thirty mile ? , and come to Windsor Castle for his pension , and that he bad followed a pot-boy into the Castle . When be was about to be removed , he made a slight resistance , saying , " I ' ve noy > got into good quarters , and here I'll stay for the night /'
He was , however , taken to the Station-house ; audoo Tuesday to London , where he was examined at the Home Office , before Mr . Hall , the Police Magistrate . He proved to be Thomas Qussted , a native of Maidstone , who haa an insane idea that he is " Lord Godolphin d' Arcy " j and he had gone simply to ask the Queen to reinstate him in his " rights . " He . has a mad sister ; and medical examination has put his in&anity biyond a doubt . On Thursday , he was again examined and was committed to Bethlehem Hospital under the Home Secretary ' s warrant , there to remain during the pleasure of the Crown .
At the Glgccestbb . Assizes , William Dwyer , Jeremiah Dsvyer , and Charles Dwyer , ( three brothers , ) James Regan , Patrick Donovan , and Dennis Callashan , were tried for the murder of Roberts , the Policeman . Very early on the morning of the 19 th of Jane , some of the men were found by Roberts and another Policeman quarreling , and raising a disturbance in St . James's Back , Bristol . In leading them off to the Station-house , Roberts was attacked by the Dwyers : Charles Dwyer struck hint on the
head and kicked him very brutally ; and he died in consequence of the injuries within eight and forty hours . The Jury returned a verdict ol "Manslaughter" against Charles Dwyer , William Dyvyer , and Rrgan ; acquitting the other three prisoners , and accompanyiag their verdict with a recommendation to mercy , oa the ground that it appeared to them that Skidner , the other Policeman , struck the first blow . Charles Dwyer was senteuoed . to transportation for life ; and Rtgan and William Dwyer to ten years' transportation ;
At Bow Street , on Wednesday and Thursday , several persons were charged with bearing or exposing at their doors placards couched in " inflammatory " . language , and announcing meetings to be held on Tuesday and Thursday at Stepney Green aud Islington . The bearers pleaded poverty , and ignorance or inattention to the nature of the placards : two of them could not read . They were let off under their own reco £ riiz * nees to keep the peace or to appear in answer to any future charge . Craven , a coal shed-keeper , in St . Pancras , said that the placard had been bung at his door at the request of a customer , while he was out ; and he promised to take it down . The case was dismissed . Jeans , a hairdresser , in Snow's Fields , Southwark , had also exhibited the placard at his door jo oblige a ox-rtomer ; but he vindicated his right to do so , and refused to remove it : and he was ordered to find two sureties under penalties of £ 20 each , that he would answer any charge at the Central Criminal Court .
Temperance . —Tho advantages of the spread of teetotalism in Ireland are strikingly illustrated in ihe improved condition .-of many' of the agricultural labourers who annually visit England at this period of the year compared with the wretched state ia which all for many years appeared , with rags barely sufficient to cover them , and their pallid looks indicating their love of ardent drink . Articles of grocery were rarely needed ; but now coffee and sugar have supplanted gin and whisky . This pleasing alteratiou forced itself upon the notice of the principal tea-dealer ia B ^ scou , to whose shop multitudes of the son ? of Erin have applied for the useful articles he vends , and a few days 6 ince one man purchased tor himself and comrades thirty five packages of coffee and sugar at one t me . —Bravo , Father Mathew and Teetoialism I—Lincoln Mercury .
The Assize Court at Devises was occupied on Wednesday aud Thursday , with an action for breach of promise of marriage , brought by Miss Rooke , aged twenty-six , the daughter of a tradesman at Salisbury , against-Mr . Conway a bale widower of sixty-seven . Miss Rooke passed eleven mouths at Mr , Conway ' s house in 1839 , ostensibly on a visit to the daughter ; and in that time the host "gaiued her affections . " He went f 0 far as to sit on the Fame Boia with his arm round her waist , to walk with her morning and evening , and to correspond by letter ; wording his effusions cautiously , however , and using a feigned name . He was proved to be worth £ 2 , 000 , or 43 , 000 . The Jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff , witn one farthing damages .
Father Mathew in Glasgow . —On Wednesday a serious accident occurred in the Cattle Market , during the time Father Mathew was administering the teetotal pledge . Three lads , the better to view the proceedings , had mounted npon a chimney stack built of brick , but-the . weight was too heavy , and the stack gave way , whereby the whole three were thrown to the ground , the bricks and rubbish falling upon them , and wertgret to say that oao of them has lost his life . The other two were very severely bruised , but not so dangerously but that hopes are entertained for their recovery . Father Mathew has been engaged the entire day in tho Cattle Market , pledging and confirming the thousands who have ffrcked to his standard Irom all quarters . — Glasgow Chronicle .
Suicide . —Shortly after four o'clock on Saturday morning , as a ballast engine was conveying Komu poi ; cemea and excavators aloi ? g the Eastern Cvunies Railroad from the terminus at Shoreduch to S : ratford , they noticed what appeared to them a man sitting against the paiiings which divided tho Jine from the Old Ford-road , Bow , apparently atkep . They , thinking it a very dangerous place for a person to be , particularly at that time of the morning , immediately stopped the engine and reversed it ; and on coming to the spot where the man was , they soon discovered that he was suspended by a rope , it being made fast io some huoks on the top of the
pailing to prevent persons getting over ; and to carry his design into tffect , ho waB obliged , the pailing not being high enough to extend his person in a sating position , to tighten the rope round his neck and strangle himself . He is about forty years of age , and was dressid in a black frock coat , black waistcoat and wowsers , and his hat had a piece of crape around it . No property was found in his possessioa , except a pocket-book and a duplicate . The engine-drivers and stokers of the various engines , » ho were goins ; up and down the lino all night , have been questioned as to whether they had seen him before , but nut the alightest information could be obtained .

Madiiisons , was paid into the Custom House by Messrs . Foruers , spirit-merchants , and in the course of business banded over to Mr . Graves , of that establishment . The following day Mr . Graves missed the cheque ,-an-i from the nuiry of business at the tim ^ . it was paid , he did cot recollect whether he had put the cheque into the cash box , or had accidentally laid it on his desk . An immediate inquiry was made at Messrs . Maddison's
bank , when it was found the cheque had beeupre-Beuted immediately after the opening of the bank in the morning , by a young man named Job Earle , a porter at the . Vine Inn , and cashed by Mr . Maddison . with twenty-five five-pound notes , five sovereigns , and ten shillings and elevenpence . Eivle had left the town , and from that time to this ihe most active exertions have been made by P . S . Terry , Who , on Wednesday last , in constqaence of information he had obtained , proceeded to Havre , and there , with the assistance of two of the French police , apprehended Earle , and got him on board the steam-vessel , and brought him over to Southampton . Oh tho voyage , the prisoner , witheut any promise or inducement , made the following statement : —He said be went out one morning to fill his Jackets with water , and Saw the old man who Bweeps the lone room of
the Custom House come down , and empty a tub of some rubbish , in which were some pieces of paper . He ( the prisoner ) went and searched amongst it for some pieces of string , and amongst the papers : tie found a cheque . He took it to the Vine , and shewed it to the cook , who- eavld read better than he could , and she told him it was not worth anything . After he had had his breakfa&t , he went ap to Maddison ' a bank with the cheque , and Mr . Maddison paid him the money without a word . He gave one of the £ 5 notes to hi 3 father and txrq others to his sister-in-law , and then went off to Bristol . Afterwards he went to Rouen , ia France .

Peter Pat , at Gtiornsey , on Thursday last , to take into consideration the present state of affairs of that islaud , after a long and animated discussion , a resolution was proposed and carried , that an application bo made to her Majesty for a change in the constitution of the states of that island ; and a committee Was appointed to take the preliminary mea-Bur es that are necessary for carry ing that resolution into effect . At the same sitting a committee was appointed to present a petition to the royal court , praying for a repeal of the ordinance of the 24 th of April , 1824 , which prohibits the importation of French cattle into that island on pain of confiscation . The revocation of this ordinance is considered but an act of justice , as the operation of Sir R .: Peel ' s new tariff has removed all obstacles for tho introduction of cattle to the other branches of her Majesty ' s doniiutons . -

Thss Auysburff Gazette of the-12 kh instant publishes a letter from Canstantinople , of the 27 th July , stating thai the manirostb of the Shah of Persia against Turkey left no hope of an amicable arrangement between those two countries . VTlie Porte considered the war as inevitable , being determined not to make any concession to tho Shah , either as respected the boundary-line or tho required indemnity . " At one of its last deliberations , the Divan had resolved to appoint , as Generalisaimo of the army of operations the uncle of the reiguing Shah , and brother to the lute Aobas Mirza , who lives retired in AsiaMinor , aad has repeatedly applied to the European Powers for aid to enable him to
recover his throne . The objict of the Grand Vizier waa not only to conquer the Shah , but to dethrone him and substitute in his place the Pretender , who is said to have aipoweriul party in Persia ; 1 ufc Izzst had been compelled to abandon that project , in con-Rcqnenco of ; the Ambassadors of Great Britain and Russia haying declare ^ that the reigning dynasty was placed under the protection of their , respective Courts , who would oppose tho usurpation of the sceptro by another braholi of the Royal family . According to advices direct from Constantinople of the 27 oh , the general impression ' Sa that there will be no serious rupture , but that the offered mediation of Great Britaia and Russia will be effectual .

The prisoner > vas brought home 1 in coh-Sncment in her Majesty ' s steamer Alban , which arrived on Ffidsy at Woolwich from Teueriffij , where eapiain Partridgo liad been for some time detained by ihe Spanish authorities for non-payment of a fine of £ 400 for cruejlty towards the seamen . On being claimed by-the government , the prisoner was given up . The first witness wag Joseph Fisher , who said he went out as a boatswain in the Jarrpw , and came home as mate ; he gave his evidence very reluctantly ,
but the magistrate pressed and threatened him , saying he was determined to get the whole of the facts out of him . He then paid , the ship was bound from Africa to Liverpool , " and soon after she sailed , she became very leaky , whioh compelled them to put into Prince ' s Island , where they shipped four Spaniards as able seamen , but who proved to be quite the reverse ; They : had been taken out of a slaver by aman-of-war , and were all ill when they came oa board , but two of them particularly , so . Tho first , wnom they called Humbry , was flogged because he could not do his duty properly ; he died six weeks after he w first beaten ; he was flogged repeatedly ; i neither of tha Spaniards had a hammock : they had small mats and ruga to lio upon
the day before he died witness found hiai in the scuppers , and pulled him out ; he eupposed he had been sitting oa some of the spars , and by the rolling oftheshipfelloff . The second , | called Marianna , was continnally flogged by the captain ; he was boktcri thirty-six hours before he died , onthe head with a double-foLiing log-elate , the frame of which br 6 k «» into a dnzm pieces ; the man ' s head was cut severely and bled profusely , but he was , nevertheless , kept on deck for two hours until hii time was up , and then ho went to . the pump ; he either could iiot or wouid not putop , and the captain sent him into the ringing for foar hours and a half ; when he left the rigging he v ? as insensible , and never moved afterwards . The third man was called
Rosanue . He was beaten as often as the others ; he was Hugged before he had been on board a dczen hours , because he could not pump hard enough ; This man did not die until they reached Teneriffo ; witness had repeatedly seen the captain knock him down ; the man was dirty , and he died through that and weakness and hard work . When the ship performed quarantine the iuan was mustered with the others at Jho gangway , but nothing waa said to the doctor , who came alongside , about his being ill . All three of the men went to the pumps when they could scarcely stand . Witness had reported to tbe captain that one of the Spaniards was too ill to come on deck , and was ordered to rouse him dead or alive . The prisoner eaid he found the Spaniard asleep at thehelm . and therefore he gavebim
a " slap " 'with the slate . —Bichard Gerard , carpenter of the ship , detailed a number of gr « ss cruelties , and added that the Spaniards had Teasprby isioBS than the other men . The man who died at xeiicriffe bad hia arm in a sling , owing to a wound in the hand he received lro » the captain . They had shipped two Frenchmen at Liverpool ; one ran away at TenerJffe , and the other disappeared from the ship one morning when on the coast * f Africa . Jt w » 3 supposed he jumped overboard , * nd he was thoaghi to be but of his mind . Other Witnesses deposed to the extreme cruekips praotised towards tho Spaniwrds , and ultimately the inagistratea leaaHdecl the prisoner on the charge > f murder , in order that he might consult with his frienda , and ebtain profeffr sion ^ adv i < w , prayioufl t « kii boing oonmittei .
