PO31PEY SMASH. MISCELLANEOU14. From the Charleston Courier. We lately published an admirable let ter from Governor Hammond- to some busy philantropists of Glasgow. who having, we presume, fed and clothed all their own starving weavers at home, were kindly interesting themselves on behalf of our conVicted crIminals;- We do not.ob serve that 6ur Boston contemporaries have given this letter a place i4 their columds, Probably.- it ,was too long, possibly too strong fur their. digestion..V.a.beg-oow moealtiifer sihbflo'a-leiter from Mar shall B16geaud, ih Governor iGeneral of the French possessions -in. Africa, to the Duc de Montmorency, President oir an Abolition Society in Paris. Its length alone prevents, our translating it entire from the pages of the Courier des Elats Unis, wherein we findit. The same calm and temperate tone distinguishes it which we noticed in the production our late Gov ernor, After enlarging upon the impolicy and the impracticability of abolishing sla very in Algeria, the Marshal proceeds thus: "Call to mind, my Lord Duke, that the Koran permits the, possession of slaves, whilst at the same tite it ordains that they should be treared as children of the tent. The Arabs rarely contravene this order. The negro and the negress fortn. to a cer tain extent, a portion of the family, and nothing is more .rare to see no Arab.ill treat hs slaves. This fact is an answer to the question of humanity." "1 am convinced that it is better for the Arabs of Soudan, who from any. chancefall into slavery, to b sold to the Arabs of Tell and of-the LittleDesert, than. to remain in the handsof the enemy whdohas seized them. I ought to add that the Arabs often give liberty to their slaves. Such is the case after *a certain numbier of years of faithful service; or at the death of the chief or of. any important member of the tent." - "You will perceivelmny lord Duke, that when things ate seen'from such a dtstance, and-in a single point of view, and under the influemnce of a isentiment in itself wor thy of approbation. one is apt. to deceive oneself Us to oppotrty and ardyantage. in applying sueh and such -a theory to such a-country.- Do not let us attempt to carryont inz Algeria allibhe theories whiich .&e hoiling dyer intli#hrains ,of.France. * ffrtmysuffer cruellJ for btentimtental tnconhideration ; and 'the- philanibropy whibbt we~ were practising in Algerta might degeneaFte into injustice roerds France..: We should . he comnpelled to ap ply to her for meriand mioney to repair the errors of her philanthropists.

The report contains the following state ments -and suggestions : That the Public Debt is-$24.745,188. That the expenditures of the fiscal.year upon which we have entered, closing 30th of June. 1845, will be $32,955,827. .That the population of the country in50 years, will bg70.000,000.. Tfiatihe present land laws should be rn'afei-ally chbanged and improved, and un der this head the various policies of grad uation and distribution are discussed. That these should be a r,-vision of th3 Tariff but not at the present session of Congress. That the present time should be improved in obtaining information for future action. That Coagress should be especially careful to avoid a deficient rev enue. That niensures should be taken for re deeming the Government Stock. That in time of peace it is a wise and eccessary policy to prepare for war, and to lay up all those military stores which will make us independent of foreign Go vernments. That the only wise policy for all Governments is to be prepared for all emergencies as they may arise. This report will be printed in full to morrow, but I ,end you an early abstract -givin some of the important recom mendations.
