Kossuth, Batthy- ani, Meezaros, Perezel, and the rest were, indeed, struck with despondency when conveyed as cul- prits and captives to the barrack prison of Kutayeh, where cells were assigned them for habitation more savoring of Newgate than of honorable cap- tivity. The strictest guard was kept over them, and they were not allowed to pass the walls of the barrack without a strong escort. The Turkish officers and soldiers have treated the prisoners with deference, and the Turkish population with every mark of Oriental respect, Kossuth being with them the Kral, who had held for a time in his hands the destinies of eastern Europe. This universal respect was especially evident on the occasion of Kossuth’s reception of his children. Three of them, interest- ing and intelligent little creatures, were sent by the Austrian government, not without foreiga interces- sion, to shore their father’s captivity. He and Madame Kossuth were allowed to @o and meet them—vnder guard, of course ; and the very guard of rude Turkish soldiers were affected to fears at the meeting. In the education of his children, the delving and ere of a kind of garden within the barrack wall, and an occasional game of skittles with the companions of his political and military struggle, Kossuth whiles away the time of his captivity.”"—London Examiner, Twe Neravi Prince ano tHe Covrrezan.—A young English girl, of great beauty and high spirit, has fer some time rig excited much attea- tion at the court-end of London ; first, because she been much talked of as possessiag an un- enviable but fash:onable reputation ; and, second- ly, because she courts notoriety by the style of her equipage, ana the dashiog carelessness of her driving.

It was determined that the order of business shall be the statement by the delegates of the condition of the common echools in the various States. Thomas Allen Clarke, of Lowsiana, made a statement of the condition of common schoels in that State. The system of common schools has been lately erected. Under the old method, seve- ral colleges were founded, which have received nearly half a million of dollars in donations from the State. These institutions have failed; only one college now is in existence—the Methodist College at Jackson. In 1841, the citizens of the Second Municipality of New Orleans commenced a movement which has led to great improvements. Now there are peels schools in each municipality, supported #t public expense, to which children are admitted free. ‘The number of schools and scholars has greatly increased) In 1841 there were only seventy-five scholars in the Second Municip* lity of New Orleans; now there are three thousand, und fifteen hundred ia the First Municipality, sides a Jarge number of pupils in the Third ginality. the University in New Orleans isin a flourjshing condition. The public school system has been adopted throughout the State, though not ensemaly successful. The system is managed in its oe details by a superintendent of com- mon schools. G. F. Thayer, of Boston, gave a sketch of the American Institute of Instruction. It was not a Massachusetts association alone, but a general one. It was founded twenty-one years ago, by delegates from sixteen States. “It meets annu ally, and disse- minates information by means of lectures, ad- dresses, debates, &c, which are published in twenty volumes of the Transactions of the lusti- tute. Mr Green, of Masgachusetts, one of the assist- ants of the secretary of the Board of Education, ave a sketch of the duties of the “ assistants.” hey visit first the children, and endeavor to ope- rate upon their minds, to become friendly with them, and encourage them. They go as friends of education, as friends of the teacher, to aid and counsel him in his work. Meetings of teachers are called by these officers; some are held for two or three duys. The object isto give useful hints to the teachers; to instruct them in the best means of teaching, and to smooth their labors. Another duty of the “ assistants” is to call meetings of the people; to counsel with them, and discuss the sub- ject of education, its means and modes. Efforts ave algo been made to grade the schools into pri- mary, intermediate, and high schools. Difficulties are in the way, in consequence of the plan of se- parating school districts—a system which is over- come in some instance: which is gradually pislding The parents furnish the school books to the children, except where poverty prevents, when they are found at the expense of the town. fxinuel Newbury, of Michigan, said that they had now established in that State ‘‘union schools,” in which there were four departments, ranging from primary education to that suitable for youn, men about to enter college—a State normal school has been projected, and will be in operation in about a year. The State University is now in a healthy state. Although the school system has fair prospects, there are about fifty thousand chil- dren in the State who do not attend pay schools. Though this is a large number, Michigan is in much better condition in this respect than most of the Western States. Dr. Cutter, formerly of New Hampshire, said that in that State all the schools are free; managed by committees as in Massachusetts, nd supported by taxation. In 1840, the proportion of persons who could not read and write, was one to one thousand. The general system is managed by county superintendents. There are county insti- tutes of teachers, holding two sessions yearly. The institutes are attended by a board of instruc- tion. The cause of education in New Hampshire is onward, and they find it necessary to increase the value of the staple they export to other States, nemely, the men and women they raise and send out. Governor Haines, of New Jersey, detailed the school system in that State. There are education- al institutes and societies in several of the coun- ties. They attract considerable interest. Appro- priatiops are made by the towns for the support of schools. There are no free schools through the Srate, though several towns and dis'ricts have pe- tidoned the islature several times for permission to raise ta: jor the support of free schools. Jobn Gi m, of New Jersey, said there are three hundred children in the public schools at Bar- lington city. In the outer districts of the county, aflairs are maneged defectively ; schools are kept up only while the public appropriation lasts. The people will not tax themselves to support the schools. J. W. Bulkley, of Albany, N. Y., said that ia the State of New York, in the country portion: schools had not been universally esta though the subject was greatly agitated. | echooil districts, school libraries have been estab- | lished in eleven thousand districts. There has been difficulty about the books suitable for the | children. Publishers have published books, it is | true, under the title of * schoo! libraries,” but they have been as if it were cast off clothes—old books | entirely unsuitable for juvenile hands, which have | been revamped. Itis believed that proper books for schoo! libraries have yet to be written. Teach- ers’ institutes are held in various counties, but the means of support are so restricted as to be nearly useless. Joseph McKean, of New York, stated that inthe country, free schools have been kept open frot ven to nine months in the year. [a the eit hey are open the entire year, with the exception of the usnal vacations. He detuiled particulars in reia- ‘uni- Ship Lyman ..

The order of the day being the articles of asso- ciation creating the Convention “The American acement of Education,” the report of the committee on that sabject was taken up. Bishop Potter, the chairman of the com- | mitice, explained the general design of the society. ‘The constitution wee then taken up, and discuss- ed by sections by many members, and finally agreed upon. The archives are to be kept ia Philadelphia. General meetings are to be held on three even- ings during the annual eession of the association, to discuss subjects, end hear reports and communi- | cations. At one of these general meetings, reports in brief are to be made by thegchairmen of the several sec- tions, of the proceedings therein. Jno. Kinsbury, of Kt. 1, by special request, gave Brown University, R. {. He said that in most colleges the courre has lasted for four years. It often followed | that the degrees were honors acquired by time and not by attainments. An objection to the course of studies has generally been that they separated the literary from scientific institutions, and from the sympathies of the people, by want of connection with the common schools. It is proposed as a re- medy, by Brown University, to make the basis broader, to appoint a greater number of ra, and bring the advantages of science and literature before the ls. Another improvement which is is, that the students shall not be allowed to study toa greater extent than their cn ties will allow, thus in some cases extending the time of study according to individual ability. An objec- tion sometimes made, that science and classical li- terature cannot be Low fm oy without injury, has already been answered by experiments made in = course of instruction in many collegiate insti- tutions. The object is not to lower the standard of classi- cal learning, but to make it higher than ever. The students will not all wish to ite the classical studies, bat those who do will find the course tho- — The four years’ course is to be done away, and the time made longer or shorter according to the capacities of the student. ‘The Professors will graduate the studies accord- ing to the physical powers of the studeats. The de- grees are conferred ace: to the attainments and not the time of study. To make the connec- tion between the colleges and common schools closer, it is proposed that the commissioner for the public schools shall become ¢x officio professor of the college. They shall have the ad sof the University apparatus for the purpose of instract- ing teachers, thus bringing the common schools University closer together. The intention is to supersede the scientific schools and the normal reheols. To effect these reforms, one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars will be needed, of which sum one hundred thousand dollars has been al subseribed by citizens of Providence.

Se Ge Keferting you tomy respeets of the Gch iastant, sent per bark E. Corning, | desire to correct an er- yor, which { made, in stating that the Brazilian Chember of Deputies had pasyed a resolation in- creasing the duties on British goods sixty per cent. I should have stated that a resolution had passed the Chamber, agreeing to discuss such an amend- | ment on some future day. Meanwhile, since I last wrote you, the excite- ment on the question of the recent English seizures | of Brazilian commerce seems to form the topic ef | interest in the public press, and of conversation on *Change. Earlier in the week, mob-like crowds met on several evenings around the hotel Pharoux, with the threatening intention of mobbing the of- ficers of the British navy quartered there. Mat- ters are, however, now becoming more quiet, and “sober second thoughts” more prevalent among all classes; and though the press and the people are all loud in their condemnations of the out rageous measures which the English admiral on this station has seen fit to adopt for the suppres- sion of the slave trade, yet none, even in Brazil, have the hardihood and boldness, in the present day, to uphold this wicked contraband traffic in human flesh. All profess to agree that it should cease ; yet all as mutually agree that it is an out- rage upon common rights and a gross violation of the great law of nations, for one nation to enter the harbors or ports of another nation, and there assume to itself the right of jurisdiction of any law not affecting the citizens or subjects of a go- vernment who are permitted, by sufferance, to re- side in the country and under the laws of another government. On Sunday, the 7th instant, and Monday, the 8th, his Imperial Majesty the Emperor, held spe- | | lence, which it does not re | the force to repel them, cial meetings of his cabinet, which are said to have resulted in addressing communications to Mr. Hudson, the British charge d’aflaires, demand- ing information respecting the measures that had been taken by H. b.M. squadron on this coast; and reports say that Mr. Hudson asked to be allowed eight days to reply in. Ihave, how- ever, heard to-day, that Mr. Hudson has stated that he had not received any such communication from this government. i is latter report | donot believe.) Meanwhile, H. B. M. steamer Cormo- rant proceeded to sea on the 8th instant, and, it is supposed, has gone to the coast of Africa, to sum- mon the whole of the squadron there, to resort im- weeny into this*harbor. On the 9th instant, IT. 1 M., the Emperor paid a visit to all the forts in the harbor, to examine into their condition, in case of need, and on the same day a report became ge- neral, that Admiral Reyaclds, of H. B. M. frigate | Southampton, had sent a communication to this | government, enclosing a list of vessels now lying | in this harbor, notoriously engaged in the slave | trade, and informing this government that if it did not confiscate and destroy said vessels, he should | take it upon himself to do it for them. Meanwhile, it is positively known that the Admiral has in his ossession instructions from his government at fans. tantamount to the above requisitions, Se- veral more seizures have taken place since my let- ter of the 6th inst. The coflee market, which was entirely cleared | last Pnday, the 5th inst., at the rate of 3)/400 per arobe of $2'ibs., for best sorts, has since advanced, and sales are now easily made at 3)/600 for the same quality. , ‘Our squadron on this station, consisting of the frigate Brandywine, Commodore Storer, and the sloop-of-war 3t. Louis, Lieut. Cox, are still at Montevideo, whither they went to escape the epi demic which was prevailing here at the time they lett Letters have, however, been received here | which may be rey permission | punishment of the morant, and the issue of an repetition of a similar occurrence; and ful a urged a claim of indemnification to whom it may concern, for the damages caused by said capture py aS f De Souza’s note, r reviewing the contents ot "8 Mr. Hudson, the British Charge, replied, and at- tempted a justification of the act, stating that the bark Santa Cruz was seized on-account of being engaged in the piratical traffic of slaves, and was destroyed in consequence of being unseaworthy and incapable of undertaking a voyage to the nearest British Vice Admiralty Court, in order to be tried, and that the captor of the Santa Cruz isa competent judge of the parton character of any vessel whutev2r; and that he is competent to de- termine in view of existing proofs, whether a ves- sel with a slave deck, and fitted out for that trade, is employed or not in that piratical trade; and that the captor of the Santa Cruz is, moreover, author- ized and instructed by an act of the British Parlia- ment, based upon Art. 1 of the treaty for the sup- pression of the slave trade, concluded between Great Britain and Brazil, Nov. 23, 1826, to eed with such piratical vessels as this Santa Cruz, in such a manner as he may consider best calculated to carry out the intention of the high contracting parties and most in accordance with public jus- tice. Mr. Hudson then expresses his sw at the protest of De Souza, when the Brazilian govern- ment were in possession of all the facts in thec ase. After reviewing the contents of Mr. Hudson’s note, the Brazilian Minister, De Souza, denies that the bark Santa Cruz was employed in the slave trade upon the occasion of her seizure, and he believes that Mr. Hudson cannot bring forward any proof to the contrary, inasmuch as by a notice pre by the commander of the cutter Nacega, dated 6th of January last, to the revenue officer, it appears that this cutter searched the bark Santa Cruz, anchored at Bella Villa, and cleared upon a voyage for this port, and found nothing authorizing her seizure. He further adds that the fact of the bark Santa Cruz being employed in the slave trade would have no bearing upon the question of right, brought into consideration by the undersi; nae because, for reasons given in the protest of the imperial govern- ment, of date October 22, 1845, against the act of August 8, of the same year, reasons recapitulated and developed in many other documents and dis- cussions, the government of HH. B. M. has no right, in any case, to search and detain Brazilian vessels, inasmuch as this right was never conceded to it by Brazil, a free, sovereign, and independent nation. For this reason the imperial government, con- sidering the searching and detention of Brazilian vessels by English cruisers as acts of mere vio- 1 because it has not as protested, and will protest, against each of these acts of. violence ated; while it never can admit, ae a reason, the first of the grounds brought fer- ward by Mr. Hudson, viz., that the vessel was en- og in the slave trade. ‘he convention of November 23, 1826, (the on! law actually existing between Great Britain ref Brozil, with regard to the slave trade,) determines that it shall not be lawful for the subjects of the Brazilian empire to carry on the slave trade on the coast of Africa, under any pretext whatever. From this general proposition, the British goverament seeks to infer the right of searching and seizing Brazilian vessels, as when it thinks fit, in cases and circumstances depending merely upon its own | arbitration ; of having them tried by purely British tribunals ; of making search and seizing in the ter- ritorial seas of the empire, in view of its forts, and within its own ports; of entrusting the decision upon seizures, not to courts, but to the commanders: of cruizers, giving them authority to burn them, we. Finally, it deduces from this general propo- sition all the consequences which the most fertile imagmation can conceive. And this against its own declaration, because in Art. 2 and 3 of that covvention, Great Britain acknowledged that sti- pulations were indispensable for the regulation of those points, which she could not alone regulate without the consent of Brazil, and which would long ago have benn regulated if the propositions ont demande of the British government had been more just, and had offered re security for lawfal commerce. This is proved by the instructions themselves, issued in 1844, for the guidance of naval officers of H. B. M, employed in tye suppres~ sion of the slave trade. They declare, “no vessel cen be seized under the following circumstances: —Though fraudulently assumimg a flag, and en- geged in the slave trade, if she belongs to « coun- uy with which Great Britain has not entered into recently from Com, Storer, announcing his intea- tion to return here in a few days. Advices were also received here yesterday from Montevideo, bringing dates up to the 26th ultimo. and containing intelhgence that a convention h id been agreed upon, through the intervention of the British Minister at Buenos Ayres, (Mr. Southera,) between Gen. Rosas, on the part of the Argentine government, and the French Admiral, Le Predour, us the ally of the Montevideans, proposing a te ment of existing difficulties between the two veroments, on the following conditions :— Int. A suspension of hostilities between the conten 4- ing parties, until a reply can be received from the French government. 2d. Restitution of all confireations Sd. A renunciation on the part of Oribe, as President ation of & provisional Governor, who for the due election of a President iy, the people. ‘This, of course, has to receive the sanction of Gen. Uribe, who, it is supposed, will not uecede to the terms. His Excellency, Mr. Tod, our minister at this court, is still at Petropelie, where he and his famil) have been rusticating since September last ; and, since the death of Mr. Morgua, the U. 8. Secretary ot Legation, the dignity of our mal inigsion to this country has fallen quite into decay, and of our citizens are becoming very impatient for the sight of a new minister to the court of Brazil, who has some higher recommendation to popularity abroad than that of being an adept at haranguing an assemblage of back woodsmen ina stump on either locofocoism or any other political iem. Mr. Hudson, the English Charge d’Affairs at this Court, has recently received notice of his ap- pointment toa full mission as Kavoy Extraordina- ty, &e. &e.

Brezilian bark Santa Croz, on Ata later period the Brazilian government ion from the at of the | jo, to the effect that in reality | bark Santa Cruz, bound from Sani de Janeiro, was captured by the Cormorant, | rnt off the Aleatrazes, her crew having been | put ashore. P. J. Soarez de Souza said, in his cor- respoadence, he would not pause to analyze the character of this act of vandaliam. It is sufficient to notice that it violates and Magn p my even the act of the British Porliament of August 8, 1845, which was not acknowledged by the Imperial go- vernment, nor ever will be, and against which it =| wes given, pA tribana! eg pleasure commander o! Cormerant was made a substitute for it. Instead : ! : a i +f) i Lo Fad EES oS és 3 i iff rT ad | ! i i a treaty, granting right of search and capture for the suppression of the slave trade.” Now this treaty, granting the right of search and capture, does not actually exist, as the addi- tional convention of 1817 has expired, a fact of which the government of HH. B, M. has never ex- pressed a doubt. Mr. Hudson declares, in bis note, that the captor of the Santa Cruz is a com- petent judge of the piratical character of any vessel, and is authorized and instructed, by en act of the British Legislature, to proceed with slave ships accordingly as he may judge best, with a view of ensuring the extinction of the slave trade. It is exactly against this doctrine, and the facts arising trom it, that the undersigned protested, and does protest, because it is an unqualifiable | attack upon all principles of international law, and a manifest violation of the very act of Parliament | upon which Mr. Iludson rests his argument. In | order that Brazilian vessels, seized by cruizers for | being engaged in the slave trade, should be tried by mixed commissions, in which, beside Brazilian judges, there should sit English judges, the exis- tence of the additional convention of July 28, 1817, was regusite. This convention has expired. The Brazilian Miaister then uses a little plaia nd Mr. Hudson alleges as a reason of the Santa Cruz, her unseaworthi- But if the Santa Cruz was unseaworthy, f ness, how can it be maintained that she was engaged in the slave trade, wnich requires long voyages! If | she was unseaworthy, she could not be employed | in the slave trade, If engaged in the trade, she could not be unseaworthy. Mr. Hudson alleges both reasons, but one neutralizes the other. The correspondence, after some other poiate are enlarged upon, turns on the seizure and detention of the Brazilian steamer Paquete De Santos, by the steamer Kifleman, of H. B. M. service. She left Santos on the 10th of Januat and wes burat off Perequée by the Engi Rifleman, The public papers state, that, after a rigid search, not the slightest indication was found that the Pequete de Santes was destined for an elicit voy- ege; that the cargo on board was of a local nature, and composed exclusively of articles which are objects of the coasting trade between the two i; that she had on board passeagers, and stores, a coal for not more than three days, and that the captain wes so seriously ill that be could not uadertake a long voyage, as is acknowledged even by the surgeon of the Riiteman, Ia a subsequent note, De Souza says with respect to a search made by the steamer Rifleman on board of the packet 8. Sebastiano, upon enteriag Kio, that on the 23d of January last, at 7 o’clock io the eve~ ng, the steamer, on leaving the strait of Iha dow for Rio, steamer Pasos, on her way to Kio, the Ea, war steamer Rifleman, which, pl ng herself athwart her bows, fired a gun and her flig, which was likewise done by the S.
