STATE OF THE COUNTRY.-The most distres- sing accounts are being daily received relative to the extremity of dastuution in Ireland, which the most energetic endeavours of the govenment bare hitherto been unable to aBoctually alleviate. The premure of want has in too many instances pro- duced riotous notbreaks among the peasantry, the most serious of which occurred at Dungarfor on the 29th where a number of people, to the amount of eleven or twelve thousand, marched in from the surrounding coustry, and proceed to attack baker' shops, from which they took quentities of bread. The mob were about to attack the stores of mer- chanu and others, dal fortunately a troop of dre gonna, arrived from Kilmerthorse, and with the co-operation of the military force already here pre- ventod further depredation. In the ev?ming, some of the populace commenced throwing stones, and the dragnons had to charge them repeatedly. The soldiers were at last ordered to fire, and about twenty shots weep discharged. Two men weld seriously wounded. They are still living, but so. veral others, it is feared, were wounded mure or low severely amongst the crowd, who fled subse quently to the firing One of the wounded bas ince died from the effects of the injuries he recei ved in the unhappy affrey.

The following letter from Lood Ellenborough to Capinin Napier, will show his lordship's opinion of
Charles Napier's conduct in India. -
Boutham, September 27th, 1848. My dear Captain Napier,-I received this morn for your letter about a speech made by Me Bullivan against Sir Charles Napier's conduct in Boinde, You are mienko in supposing that I have read the speech saw there had boon some discussion at the Court of Proprietats, apparently got up by Mr S?llivan, for the purpose of making a long episch ; b?l the discussions got up cousisually at that court are so holly devoid of importades, except in the eyes of ti? speakers, that I did not think it worth while to: and what was said.
It is rely quite unnecessary for me to declare in words my entire approbation of Sir Charles Napier conduct. I showed what I thought of it by my sets while I was Governor-General, and I will wi that I think the mericas Bir Chatire Napier bus performed since I left Indie have been even quaR?NE your, a regiment, the inciquin of the Bath, the tasks | them those I undowvoured, but was unable adequately of this Company nod Parliamtiu, and a Pornge foto emend.

Thus the sum of upwards of ?10,000 sterling per annum is ale orbed by these individuals, very littlo of whica need be expanded. In the first place it is perfectly ridiculous that a gene- ral officer should be here at all. looking the amount of force. The Senior Military Officer, with a table allowance for entertainment, would be sufficient for every purpose of command.
The various staff officers drawing 500 or 000 Rupees monthly, in addition to their ordinary pay and allowances, are absolutely worse than useless, and a clog and tremuel upon the execution of the public service. These gentio inen have positively no duties of their own to perform, and therefore, to be doing something, murt of necessity interfere in the duty of others. The public departments are amply provided for by the government at home, and this interfes ronce, whilst it is wholly unnecessary and imo- galar, tends to increase useless correspondance, by raising up an intermediate channel of coin- munication loading to no result, and producing many other evils, which no where else aziai. The sooner then these officers (not one of whom is beyond the rank of captain, sul f no great standing even in that rank) return to their duties in the marching regiments to which they belong, the better will it be, on every cou- sideration, for the public service.
With respect to the office of Deputy Judge Advocate General, it is unusual we believe to retain such an officer in permanent pay; it is

The Staff salaries to the Engineer Officers we do not comprebend. We are not aware why they should draw Staff salaries here more than at other places, the enormous amount also leads as to suspect there is something wrong hero.
The scale upon which we conceive the Staff appointments at this place should be modelled, which we are confident from our observations elsewhere, would adequately meet ibe want of the Military service, and which we would desire to see substituted for the foregoing, is a follows.

The result of the first opium sale, and the means by which it was for a time postponed.
is fully discussed in the extracte we make from Indhin papers, to which we refer our Readers. To check attempts at a monopoly, and the strong propensity of the nativo Merchante to gamble with the drug, the Indian government require to establish more stringent regulations for their public sales. We have heard it sug- gested, that in addition to a heavy deposit im mediately on the fall of the hammer, all bids should be made through a responsible Broker This would prevent such absurd seenes as was witnessed on the first day of sale when opium was run up to ?13,000 a chest by advances of ?1 a bid, 'in consequence of which, the salo was postponed, it being dark before the first kA could be knocked down,
The Bragana arrived on the 23rd at 11 a. m. with the October and November mails. She made a very excellent run from Singapore, but It has been known for some time that the though soarcely due, the Agent for the Corsair farmers of the opium monopoly were losing despatched her for Canton at 9 o'clock of the money; their sales gradually decreasing as the thorning on which the Braganza arrived, in native trading vessels diminish in number. The consequence of which, it is to be feared that same parties who held the monopoly last year, many of the Canton Residents will be disapare in possession of it at a reduced rent, and pointed at not receiving their letters, and this the Tact of their wishing to throw up their bar- the more especially that the Coranir after loaving gain, is very clear proof that our trifling trade Hongkong for the provincial city on the alter is getting loss, and that the Monopolists are out poon of the 25th, with a large portion of the|| of pocket by the opium farm. mail on board, was obliged to return to the harbour, her machinery baving received some damage. The Agent immediately despatched the letter bags by a sailing bost?but it is doubtful whether they will be in Canton before the 57th, loving parties a very limited time to prepare their correspondence for the mail that closes here on the 20th,
The marriage of the Duke de Montpensier to the Infants of Spain continues to be the topic of discussion in the French and English papers, and has in a great degree destroyed that good feeling which of late years has boon so co spicuous between the two govemment. The wily Monarch of the French has duped his friends in England, and to add to the injury, it is said that, though it is unusual for crowned heads personally to interfere in mich matters. yet on the visit which Queen Victoria made io Louis Phillipe at Eu, an understanding was come to regarding the marriage of the Infants, and that His Majesty has not kept faith with her, An uaduc importance has been given to this marriage, as it is not pro- bable that the progeny of the Duke de Mont pensier will ever inher? the crown of Spain, and if they do, it is not shown that it will in any degree injure British interests..
A reduction of the duty on Tea engages the attention of the manufacturing and mercantile community, and has caused a speculative de- mand, particularly for low Congous. It is ovi dent that there is not the slightest chanco of any modification during the present soon, and it is to be feared that injudicious Specula: tory will suffor severely, though we do not think that the rise which has taken place in consequence of their rashness, will induce Mer chants in this quarter to purchase at higher rates than now rule in Canton. We have read letters from Merchants, long and ex.
sensively engaged in the tea trade, and they
give it as theirdecided opinion, that no immedi.
ate reduction will be made. They state that the
revenue is in a flourishing condition, but the Lamino in Ireland, and the incream in our ne- val and military forces, press so heavily upon the exchequer, that Ministers this session will scarcely venture to disturb the present financial sarangements.

The annexed extract from the Cal- cutta Star of December $81, will shew the nature of the measures adoptol by the "sellers for account" in the Operm timen bargains, to defeat the operations of their opponents and arrest the progress of the Government Sela. How far, however, the succ of their plan may accomplish the object content. plated, and be legally sufficient to quash the time- bargains in which they ware involved, seems l? be a matter of doubt, involving legal questions of no small dificulty, and which may give rise to litiga- tion between the parties interested.

CALCUTTA. The result of the first opium sale, and the means by which it was for a time postponed, is fully discussed in the extracts we raake from Indai papers, to which we refer our Readers. To check atte?ople at a monopoly, and the strong propensity of the native Merchants to gamble with the drug, the Indiap government require to establish more stringent regulations May 2nd Thomas W. Soars, from Macao, 20th Duke of Cornwall, Whitehead, K. Mecgregor and C
for their public salos. We have heard it sug- gested, that in addition to a heavy deposit im- mediately on the fall of the hammer, all bids should be made through a responsible Broker This would prevent such absurd scenes as was witnessed on the first day ofle when oprum was run up to ?19,000 a chest by advances of | ?1 a bid, in consequence of which, the salo was postponed, it being dark before the first
A could be knocked down.
It has been known for some time that the farmers of the opium monopoly were losing money ; their sales gradually deciessing as the native trading vemole diminish in number. The same parties who held the monopoly last yaar, aro in possession of it at a reduced rent, and the Tact of their wishing to throw up their bar- gain, is very clear proof that our trifling trade is getting lom, and that the Monopolists are out of pocket by the opium form,
The Chinese Shopkeepers have petitioned the Governor (through the Colonial Secretary) that this monopoly be discontinued, as they find, that from the high price demanded for the drug fewer tradors come to the part, and goods of all descriptions are in consequence unsaleablo.
The Gentleman who obliged us by the fol- Inwing translation had but a short time to ex- ecute, but it will be found in all essentials perfectly correct.

The marriage of the Duke de Montpensier to the Infanta of Spain continues to be the topic of discussion in the French and English papers, and has in a great degree destroyed that good feeling which of late years hai boon so con- spicuous between the two government. The wily Monarch of the French has duped his friends in England, and to add to the injury, it | le said that, though it is unusual for crowned heads personally to interfere in such matters, you on the visit which Queen Victoria made to Louis Phillips at Eu, an understanding was come to regarding the marriage of the Infante, and that His Majesty has not kept faith with her, An undue importance has been given to this marriage, as it is uol prou bable that the progeny of the Duke de Mont poosier will ever inherit the crown of Spain, and if they do, it is not showg that it will in any degree injure British interests..
A reduction of the duty on Tea engages the attention of the manufacturing and mercantile community, and has caused a speculative de- mand, particularly for low Congous. It is evi- dent that there is not the slightest chance of any modification during the present stasjon, and it is to be feared that injudicious Specula. tors will suffer severely, though we do not think that the rise which has taken place in consequence of their rashness, will induce Mer chants in this quarter to purchase at higher rates than now rule in Canton. We have read letters from Merchants, long and ex- sensively engaged in the tea trade, and they give it as theirdecided opinion, that no immedi. ate reduction will be made. They stato that the Jevenue is in a flourishing condition, but the famine in Ireland, and the increase in our on- val and military forces, press so heavily upon the exchequer, that Ministers this session will scarosly venture to disturb the present financial swangements.

The capitulation of Monterey 4a frontier sown in Mexico) after so obstinato defence of shree days, occupies a large portion of the pa pers. As usual, the Amenean troops behaved well, and the defence made by the Mexicans has established their reputation for courage, a qualification in which we fever thought them deficient. I may be questioned whether Go- neral Taylor has gained any thing in the cap- Sure of Monterey. By the torms of capitula
, the Mexican troops, in number close upon 1,000 were allowed to march out with their arms and Geki astillery, under a salute from the gans of the fort. I was expected that they would form a junction with Santa Anna's army at the pan of Bantilla within a few days march of Monterey.

London, 21st November, 1848.
A considerable improvement has at length taken place in the tone of the Ten market, and during the last few weeks speculative purchase have been effected in common Congues, comprising all those ostering under 16d per lb., and it is probable these operations would have reached a large extent bud Holders been willing to realins at market rater ; but as the stock in mot vory large, and only a small portion of it in the bands of the Trade, the Im. porters have held firmly, and, in many instances, Wabdraws their common Tea from the market, under the impression that higher prices must be given to meet the large currunt demand. This view has provod in be well founded, an advance of id to ad per lb having been established in common Congous, the demand for which-?as been very ani- mated during the last fawr, woeks Looking at the present retu? prices of Ten, we think there is no ressen to apprehend that the purchases of the Trade

THE MARKET.
With a very plentiful stock of staple imports, and a demand comparatively inactive, prices evince not the slightest tendency to improvement. On the con 'cary, prices during the past month have been reced- ing, and as compared with the state of our market about the beginning of the year, we notice an evi. dent decline of nearly 20 per cent. This fall in price is attributable to the very beavy continued im. ports into Singapure exceeding the declining do mand in that market, and the supplies that have been sent up here largely for sale within the pass six months. This has necessarily affected our car- kel very severely, as, independently of Bingapore, there is a brisk dirept trade from England at all sonuicient to meet the demand here. Bo long at stocks in China, as well as Singapore, continen so large as at present, a reaction from thence must be felt before any improvement beed be hoped for. We may soune that the prices of opium, ?n, nad rice have for some months been much lower in price here than in Singapore, thus including the Chinese (who in such cars are reckless in their trading) to lavest there in piece goods for the sake of instituting fole here for investment in thess articles of pro duon. The Jessie Mitchell, arrived on the 90tbuk.

Before the treaty, Foreigners could walk through the streets to the back of the || factories with perfect safety, and short excursions were made on the opposite side of the river without running the risk of being peked with stones. Now that we have a terety, things are changed. It has become dangerous to appear outride the factory gates, and our portion is in every respect worse than it was
before the war.

Every day I am more and more fully impressed with the error of our present policy and grieva over the misplacement and waste of untional re sources, and of individual energy.

Buch, then, is the opium farm, which it seems Governor Davie meene to continue. Its effect has been, without diminishing the consumption of opium in Chios by a single chest, to damage the general trade, by destroying the only market in China not under Chinese influence. 10-along with the licensing system yet to be noticed -- has tended to complete the ruin of Horkong which the Re gistration Aat began, obliging proprietors to allow their shope to remain empty, or let them at depre ciated rents, while there is no reduction in the 62- orbitaat ground rent.

To their own determined exertions they are indebted for the quelling of a riot which seemed at one timeta threaten the most serious rolls for the local authoritis ap pear to have been in the first instance completely Powforless. An officer of the Chinese Government, with his attendents, who had at last come to the spot, had been driven back, and it was impossible to way if any troops would arrive or what effect they would produce in the event of their coming Ac cording to the account in the Chinese Reportory fut July, there was no alternative for the foreigners bot to see their factorim pillaged and burnt, and thera scives pelted and chased into the river, or to step forward and dieperes the rioters by such moans as they chanced to have at command." It is wonder. ful that so serious an affair was terminated with little loss of life as seems to have occurred, for it certain that but for the promptitude of the foreigner in making a vigorous demonstration for their ow defence, many must have been crificed.

Had they met with any encouragement, is is supposed that some 40 of them would have become settlers. It is our turn to send deputation to them. Those fiscal measures which have had the offect of driving away the Chi se population pught to be repealed. But some thing more than this is secretary; the Chinese have been alarmed not only by what the gerereor has doma, but still more by what be has attempted.

The Government has published an abstract of the Revenue and Expenditure for 1846.

The abstract does not give a fair view of the finances of the colony-the expenditure in- cludes the sum of ?17,875 for public works; and this being an actual investinent made on account of our Royal Mistress in whom the fea simple of Hongkong is vested, it therefere can- not fairly be charged to the annual expenditure to be paid out of the colonial exchequer Do ducting this sun, we have the following re- sults:-

To the Editor of the Friend of China.
Bull any proof was required of the falling state of this Colony, it is only necesary to refer to The second column in the third page of your last publication, there it will be seen that an old estab. lished firm advertise their House and Godowns to be let or old, shewing that they have come to the conclusion of the inutility of having an establish ment on this Island.
Then follows an advertisement of premises to let, adapted for a General Store or Lawyer's Ufica, am afigid that there will be very liufa demand here soon, e?ber for Blates or Lawyer's Offices, the latter indeed may hold out longer than the former. The neat adresterment will be found to be that of trademan about to leave the Colony, and by for ting to a few buck"numbers of your paper similar advertisements will be found from others.
Then comes an advertisement in which it is stated that reference will be made to the Bummary Conit
in cases where parties do not, doc, &c.
I am aware that it is not usual to remerk upon advertisements in the public papers, but I trust from the circumstances thontioned above, that even if you do not insert my letter, you will take some notice of these undeniable proofs of the depressive state of Trade, and people can form their own ideas of the cause of it.

The valuable book on Chius, by Sir J. F. Davie, governor of Hogkong, contains some important information bea ing on this subject.

[NOO ... 1833 .................................... In 1806, the +xcise duty was raised to ninety per cent, and in 1919, to nearly one hundred per cent on the air price of all tensya tax whlob most here had a powerful effect in checking the growth of consumption. In spite, however, of this, it is well” know that the importatione into this country have exceeded the aggregate consumption of the whole Western world besides. The progressive increase, as shown by the above statement, clearly proves bow much the growth of the consumption had heen checked by the heavy tax. During the fifteen years, from 1785 to 1800, the weight of ten und in Great Britain was from 10,856,575 the to 20,558,702 Ma, haring bera nonrly doubled, but during the next thy-three years, it only advanced to' 31,929,611, being little more than ?fty per cent, whereas, had the same progresiva increase gone on ne before, in 1880, it would have reached eighty millions of pounds, and, in 1845, instead of being only 44,189,135 Ilm, would have been 160 millions. E is, therefore, obvious, that with a reduction of duty. there would be an increased consumption. to an ex. tent which we can only estimate by referring to le prodigious increase that has taken place in the quantity of coffee consumed in this country since the ter was abuted. The only ground of objection that can be taken to the diminution of the duty on son, in with reference to the Baaness of the country, but since it has been found that, in every instance, when an article of general use has been admitted at a lower rate than before, the Increase in its com sumption bas led to as ultimate gain to the revenue, we may fairly argue, from analogy, that such would be the case with ten, while the increased queatuy of augur that would be used along with it, would tend to the immediate gain of the revenue in that item. This loorease in the consumption of sugar would be not merely proportionate to the increased quantity of tea that would be used; the circumstance of labouring man requiring a mustler outlay for bis tou, would leave him a larger som weekly to apead in other onicles, among which sager would undoubtedly be one of the most important.
The average annual tousemption of ten in the Univd Kingdom is only about cor poood and a balt for each individual, the population being in round numbers 27.000,000, and the consumption of te 44183,185 be; while in the Island of Jersey, where no beary impost prevents the general ure of , each person uses five pounds in year. Were ihe date-paid price in England och as to afford tea to the poor at per lh, doubtless the consumption would be proportionale; and if the twenty-seven millions of people in Great Britain and Ireland were consumers of "let on the same scale su their neigh- bourn in Jersey, we should bare en sontal com sumption of one hundred and thirty-five millions of pounds.

It is not often that we feel disposed to interfere with the discussions which take place in other coun tries, even on the subject of Free Trade; for, turn- ing, as they generally do, upon local interests, we feel that they are most likely to be satisfactorily disposed of by those more immediately connected with them.

It is not that he has any relue tance to dispose of even serious cases when brought before him, and we almost fear that in troubling the Supreme Court with each pakry maters he is influenced by feelings not very creditable. The Jurors have addressed the Ilonourable Chief Justice, complaining that they are led from business for days to settle cases which anywhere else would be disposed of by the agistrates.

The conclusion of these worshipful gentlemen somewhat surprised the public, as it seemed better to persons of ordinary sebee that the offender should be put to the larger cost of baying off the evidenas, then It is somewhat extraordinary, considering that that he should escape for the smallsum of 41. ; and we have advanced to the state of the coad com- also appeared desirable to koop the administra-mercial power upon the globe, and an auther a sors of justice clear of any part in those shameful population of bond twenty millions, that no plan transactions for the impunity of orize.

This statement may be corrcet, in as much as the document in question was not what is termed a General Order, or the Soldiers may ha been informed of their happy independence writinal any paper baring been read. They stated, "that ac racks the bloody Peelers had nothing to dwch co-ding to the orders they received in the Bar- them."

We have been aware, for several months past, that some strange proceedings on the part of certain members of the Board of Respective Officers in Hongkong have been a tople of conversation ta the Military circles of the ornatzy; but we have hitherto been induced to abstain from entering upon the subject, by consideration for an old officer who was at one time conspicuous for a laudable spirit of enterprise, and whom we hoped the firm and tem perale remonstrances of General D'Aguilar would ?kimately retrieve from error.
We now learn, from the Ganoral Order published
in our last Geselte, extracted from the Hongkong Government Gazette, that the ill-disguised resiman. ce to the General's authority, of which we have heard so much during the last eighteen months, had
at longih sastmed a character that could no longer be tolerated.
Mr Ordnance Storekeeper Pett, who appears to
have been the primam mabile of resistance, bra boen scoordingly suspended from office, until the plea., gure of the Master-General of the Ordnanos upon
his conduct be known; and Lieutenant.Cokost Chewey, who seams to liave resigned himself' cam- pletely to the tutelage of the Storekeeper, has been
at once relieved from the command of the Artillery In China.
li is not every General Officer that would ren-
tum to act with like vigour against such an amphi bious creature as an Ordonaca Civil Officer, who,

We have been aware, for several months past, that some susage proceedings on the part of certain members of the Board of Respective Officers in Hongkong have been a topio of conversation In the Military circles of the `oavalry; but we have hitherto been indward to abstain from entering upon the subject, by consideration for an old officer who was at one time conspicuuge for a laudable spirit of enterprise, and whom we hoped the firm and tem. perate remonstrances of General D'?guilar would ukimately retrieve from error.
We now learn, from the General Order published in our last Gaselle, extracted from the longhang Government Gazette, that the ill-diagnieni renistan. ce to the General's authority, of which we have beard so much during the last sighteou months, had at length assumed a character that could no longer be tolerated.
Me Ordnance-Storekeeper Pett, who appears to bavo been the primum mobile of resistance, has been accordingly suspended from offlos, until the plea-, sure of the Master-Clvoarul of the Ordnance upon
his conduct be known; and Lieutenant Colonel Chaney, who seama to liave resigned himselfcom pletely to the tot slago of the Borekeeper, has been at once relieved from the command of the Artillery In Chine,
It is not every General Officer that would ven- ture to act with like vigour against such an amphi- bious creature as an Ordnance Civil Odleer, Who,
If he be a cunning and trouble some charsolor, can materially perplex and worgy an indolent Com mander.

The Friend of China of the 14th of November, published a correspondeuce which had recently inken place between Keying, the Imperial Com missioner and Licent Governor of Cantia, and Sir John Davis, Governor of Hoogkong. It relates to the affair of Nr Compton, to which we have already referred several times, and we think shows in presly plain olours, the pusillanimity of the Queen'e Plenipotentiary in China. The letter of Keying refers to a demand which had previously heen made by the Chipras, that three European shall be given up, in make comperantino for the three Chinaman who had been killed in the recent rior, and while its tone in arrogant vanngh, that of the Honkung Governor's reply, is in itari sufficient to encourage the Chines· suthorities in their insolent demands Sir John Davis, not cratenl with his unjust treatment of Mr Compun, write to the Chinese Commissioner,-"I have reported

THE DUTIES ON TEA.
On the question of a diminution of the dulles spon len, opinions are divided. An important and influential class contend, that the e?ecis of a dimi nution of the duty ho ten would be similar to thong which followed the reduction of the duty on coffee; that the price to the consumer would fall in pro

Now these theoretical inferences have been verified by actual results. Since the opening of the parts of China to British goods at low rates of duty, there has been an shatzucij?n af the precious metals and a general fall of prices in Chisa, causing a marked diminution in the importa. tion of cotton-wool from India, sad a considerable increase in the exportation of raw silk to England.

ORIENTAL BANK.
The Bombay Thlegraph has hitherto been a most Juckless apologist for the Oriental Bank; avery fresh defunco of that institution has only bent? a frosh ex? posure of its affairs, and fearled more completely to convince the public that its managetnett was by no anvans equal to the task of carrying on a profitable business across half the globe. Our remarks upon aliule bit of boasting on the part of the Telegraph have cared great soreness, and the Englishmap is now accused of hostility to the Orientals, which we pre told "shewa glaringly through every article be I' pan on the subject of its affata" We are quite unconscious of any such sentiment, we feel ne?her friendship nor enmity towards monied institutions, but as public journalists freely criticize their pro Fooding for the public benefit, and when we find slat pur statements cannot be denied nor our arguments refused, but that we are met merely by vague charges of hallity, woate the more inclined to believe that pur strictures are doing good. The Telegraph's puff, at which we were disposed to lawzh, we that sho paid up capital of the Bank would now be found pearer ninety than sixty lakhs. The Trigraph paye that the London pablished intervent abuwe the Capital ?7,86.84 odd, and adds, "we have no doubt that then the payments in ladis up to the data tpol uur article come to be addol, the sum with

But, says our contemporary, Before the Bank's change of name, there wero 10,000 new shares created, the calls for which fell due in Febrasty and August fast. Why not show how much of these was in course of payment after the publication of the above account; Depend upon it po impression will he made upon the pulle by can peakment or by partial statements.

The Chairman said the constitution of the com
not admit of their supporting the Institu- pany tion, at Bouthampton, as a company." The diavo logs were most desirous that the institution should be supported, as its benefits had already been high- ly appreciated. As to the payment of servapia, the company were giving miries equal to thure of any other compaey; and whenever extraordinary merit we displayed, the direstore rewarded it by an in- crosse of salary.

General Brott, the enmander in-chief of the United States forces, had left New York for the seat of war. His mission le armised to be to take in charge the condust of the laail operations. An immediate attack upon San Jaars de Ulloa was anticipated. All the vessels of war not previously in servion ware being despatched to the alf, and the force of the navy, in point of inen, was being increased to the full osteht authorised by Congress.
Accounts from California vid Masathun, reported that the occupation of the territory by the Ameri- cans was not peaceful, that insurrections had oc cured at several points, and that the Frenob consul at the seaport of Monterey had been arrested for having protested against the American usurpations. An attempt of the boots of the United State sloop-of-wat Cyane to arise a Mexican big at Guaymas had been repelled. The Cyane, it is mid, lost twenty men in the air. Those state- menta cannot be relied on implicitly.
The American steamer Atlantia, running bem wern New York and Boston, was wrecked on the 26th November. She had between seventy and eighty passengers on board, of whom forty were drowned.

Mr Webster shows himself equally an fa at the trade of political bucketer. He sols off his maintenence of an exorbitant, impolitis, and unfair tariff, on the ono kand, with virtuous borror of the Texan operation and the Mexican war, on the other. Nothing can be sounder or more instructive aban ble remarks on the latter point. We cannot however, supprest our disgust at the company in which they are introduced to us. The villige buckster opens a beer-shop that be may allure custo- mers for his broad and choose, and, in order to get rid of last year's printed goods, puts in his shop window some remarkably cheap stockings.

The details of the land operations of the American forces are more than usually uninteresting. From Monterey, the head quarters of the Army of the Lait, there are accounts to the 4th November. General Taylr was preparing for another movement, and | all the engular troops were advanced up the river. The volunteers were relied upon to maintain the line of communications with the Ris mods. From the Army of the Centro official despatches had been receiral to the 14th October: the main body would ahimately unite with General Taylor at Alonterey. The pisnge of the Prezlie was accomplished on the 11th of the month. From Sama Fi we learn that the Mormon Jery had at length arrived, and would shortly set on, en route to California, in the track of General Keseney's force.

The Americane and the Mexicons are an pertina cioun n the Hussions and the Turks used to be, st the Russians and the Circassians are. Nor does the great Union get on much more prosperously than the great Empire ded and dous in the unequal contest. It has its successes at Tampico; abo has its peculiar balks—a kind of sucess by the wrong end, as at Tobasco. Tampico yielded with put a blow-the Mexicans, in fact, getting out of the way. Tobsen was soundly thrashed, and then- the Americans thought it meet to get out of the way. For such, through their own boastful accounts, seems to be the state of the case. Meanwhile, sup plies are expudly absorbed. The immediate combo. fants are warming to their work, and guining vigour their appetite and powers for mischief; but the commercial citizens of the Union, who have no substantial interess at stake, except in the way of lass by taxation and impeded trade, are apparently cooling in their manial'anlour.

The nature of things is against such a presumption; but the means by which mich an end may be accomplished is a question of vast importance. It is no trivial social calamity for a nation to possess a number of clever, discontented, and unscrupulons men. Discontent soon darkens into vindictiveness and vindictivonnas is seldom scrupulous. Men who think their fair claims are ooglected or overlooked, will set about their own way of preferring them ; and so men have mich an || obvious facility of building their own fortunes on the basis of public tumult and class.disaffection as your “strong writers.” There are in this country, unfortubately, too many persons with a command of capital who would be ready enough in invest it in the diffusion of their own republican dostrines, who would pay largely for "clever hands" and 25 Rice and Paddy, - "powerful peos," That this known temptation: 37 Salipore, has been so strenuously resisted, in more creditable to the honour and pride af individual serisere than to the good sens of alatesmen and politicians.

THE FRIEND OF CHINA AND HONGKONG GAZETTE.
I have established a lipe of beats, one of which leaves Canton and another Hongkong every afternoon. This line is supported by private subscriptions, and
does not cost less than ?200 a month. For the conveyance of the monthly overland maile, they have secured the services of the steamer Corsair, for which they pay the owner ?150 a month—the ves sol waiting the arrival of the mail, and soiling so soon as the Agents for the various firme can gat the letters from the post office. In addition to this, express boats are despatched at a great expanse each but having a row of from twelve to twenty
men.
We apprehend that the grest object of postal on tablishments, is to failitate communications, and thus te benefit commerce and the interest of the pub- lie generally. If this government chooses to carry out the views of modern political economists, and by ? legislative act, establishes a local post-office able to convey the Canton correspondence expedi tiously, it would be baited as a public benefit; but no long as this is deferred, any interference with private arrangements is verations and ill advised in | the extreme; nor, as we have already said, do wa believe that the Supreme Court will coumianance the Post-Master in the attempt bola making to sacrifice tko interests of the community.

In the meantime we copy a letter from the columns of the Bombay Timer, with the editorial comments thereon prefixing it with a paragraph from the Afonthly Mail of the 7th of January.

C. Grubam, of II M.S. Castor, the Senior Officer on the station, by Com. Patten, of the loss of the Osprey, and comisining a narrative of his procendi ings. These and other papers connected with the | ffair were transmitted by the Mecretory of the Admiralty to Adra S?r C. Ogle, Int., who signo Bed (beis lordship' directions for a court-martial to be held to inquire into the circumstances. After the court had been sworn, all the officers and crew of the late brig being present, Com. Patten wan officer or mas belonging to the Osprey, on the oc asked if he had any complaint to make against say
currence of the wreck of subsequently, to which he replied that he had ant any. A similar question was then put to the officers, and crew, if they bad Any complaint in maka ngainst their Commander, to which they immediately answered "No." En. dence was then taken, and it appeared, in the detailed recount given of the Inns of this truel, that on die 11th day of March last, the Espery | made the west const of New Zealand early in the morging; that the land, by its appearance, donoted the locality of Itokianga Harbour, to which place the Osprey was going. After recon- naitering, and taking the opinion of the Master and other officers, the Commander determined to sted in, being further induced to do so by observ. ing the red ng boisted at the Algaluff of a pali, which, st Enkiangs Harbour, genoted "high water over the bar," and was usually hoisted on the mji- proach of a vessel by an authorised pilot. The
Daprey baving once before visited the harbour of Hokiange. it was thought no mistake could be made. The Osprey, therefore, with a strong breeze on the starboard quarter, stood in under topgallant sails, singlereefed topsails, fitesails, fore and aft mainsail and jib, going between six and seren kuoto A1 3.15 being then upwards of two miles from the shore, the water, although the soundinga previously bad agreed exactly with those of Ho- kianga, auddenly shoul?d from ten to fre fathoms, and immediately after the brig struck ground; her heel striking, she swung round, and brought the wind on the part side. The sails were immediately braced round on the port tack ; but, unfortunately, the bon-sheet giving way, the brig fell off and grounded fore and aft; the collar were then setting in heavily, and the rudder was soon disabled,
The ship being now in n heavy surf, the Com- manier ordered the hatchway to be secured, to provent the vessel filling. The alot, guna, and heavy articles, ware pitched overboard. The brig continuing to be thrown by each successivo roller maarer to the beach, the boats were got over, but were of no mo on account of the high surf, and the musta were then cut away. About one o'clock the next morning the ship had been driven so far up no to permit the crew in drop into shoal water from the bowsprit end, and ware all landed safely. Many of the d?ilveu were assembled on the beach, and behaved civilly. The following day tafia were constructed, provisions landed, tenta erected, and Avery precauling taken to guard the stores from the natives. For the next month (there wot being the slightest probability of saving the vessel), Cap tain Patten and his crew were employed in saving the brig's stores, which they effecind even to the copper sheathing, and some 1,200 copper bolta; before this, however, Com. Pattan and bis oficere bad held a survey on the vessel, when it was unanimously decided that no hope remained of saving it. Intelligence was sent to the Castor 30, of the calamity which had happened, and Capt. Graham, having an opportunity of a vessel going to England, sent the particulars of the wreck is the Admiralty by Captado Way, of the Racehorse, and also despatched a vessel to the wreck, and vo board of which the stores saved were shipped and
sent round to the Bay of Lelands.
After remaining by the wreck two months, Com, Patten, his officers and crew, travelled overland 120 miles to the Bay of Jefands, and there embark- ed in the Racehorse, stoop, for Sydney. The na tires bolared kogether inlerably well, selling the wrecked people pigs, poultry, &c. ; but Com. Pat- ten was never without a guard, and his people were always armed. A few days before they left soma lead was stolen, but Com. Patten, by his determin ed anaduct, recovered k. It appeared that the red

We have only to apprehand from a continuance of hostilities, that the war spirit may rage to that extent in the valley of the Mississippi and elsewhere, that the conquest of Mexico will be determined upon by all parties, which will make it a war of conquest lastend of a war of defence. Mexico can only be conquered by exterminating the people with fire and sword: as France is exterminating the Algerines, England the Soiks, and Russia the Circassions, but such ? war would be an enormity too horrible aven for the contemplatios of our fellow citizens of the West, and we trust that in this crisis, we shall all have the good sense to confine our hostile feeling within judicious bounds.

The attempt to depreciate the character of k?d i 1491—14 chan. Malwn, is not confined to theso who deal with raged Eagles Willson, the ships at Cum-sing-mon. Upwards of a year ago, a lot of drug was shipped at this port be asle at Woosing "It was for some months board a receiving ship, the Chinuan invariably delating that the quality was bad. The Corn! mander of the ship roturned it to Hongkong, whore, or rather at Cum-sing-moon, it brought the full market rate.
Perhaps the Editor of the Gazette will recon- sider the matter. He may come to the con. clusion, that the Baud is committed in India-- the drug being adulteratod there--and that the Chinese dealers who have been deceived, are moliating, il now being Chinese roguary versus Indian roguery.

Other nations, we bare to remember, have been making their advances too; and it is only by well- directed and parsevering exersions that we can re tai our superiority.

THE UNITED STATES.—THE TARIFF. By the time this paper roaches the United States, Congress will have been more than a month in oes- sion; and if we are to judge by the private com. munications which we have received, as well as by the public accounts, a large portion of its time will have been engaged in again discussing the subject of the Tariff.” “The policy of the Protectionists, in now reviving these discussions, is not prompted by nay hope which they bave of reversing the decision!

In the struggle for free trade-fur la emouctpotion of manufacturers in the States from the trammels in which they have been entangled by the protective syscin-and of the majority of the community from the evils entail. ed upon them by a misdirection of their industry and capital, America has much—and especially at the present crisis-to learn from the recent ex perience of Fagland; which while it cannot fail to encourage free traders in their present struggle. should teach their opponents the folly and hope. jessness of their efforts. But there is one passage in the events of the seven years' struggle of this country, peculiarly appropriate to the present crisis in America. The changes in our Tariff in 1842— which were the commencement of that policy, which was brought to a triumphant conclusion the kust session of Parliament, and the circumstan ces which attended those changes, are yet fresh in the recollection of all. The inroade mule upon the protective system in that year, small as they were of themselves, were productivo of a panic, More serious and more fatal to the interests of th? farmers, than all the manre importdal changes which have horn made viner. 'The modification of the corn laws; the admission, at a moderate duty of Wire cattle, and the passing of the Canada corn bill; were productive of more serious losses to the fariners of Great Britain than the ultimate entire tepeal of the corn l:ws, and the free ad?mission af cattle and provisions of all kinda.
But now that we are enabled to look back upon thewo events as matter of history, there are not two opinions as to the true cause of the losses then sustained by our farmers. It had so long been the practice of a large political party to exaggerate the advaningen of prolection, and t'e dangers of fren competition. for their own purposes, th?t thu sligh- test change was productive of a panic, in which the property of the farmer, who had long been mught I rely upon these false friends, was sacrificed to sheer ignorance and miscalculation. A year had pot passed away before the great error was disco. vered, when the farmer found that he had to replace bis stock at prices one half higher than he had, uadre the panic of the crisis, sold his own. Every calculation which he had made was reversed. The time which be seized as the best for selling hintock turnal out to be the work; and when he looked for an opportunity, from the threatened force inundation, to replace them some months after. wards, be found that he could only do so by paying
? grant advance in price. From that moment the farmers of England mistrusted the principles and predictions of the Protectionists, and from that ex. parience all further and mate important changes in our tariff have been unsttended by sither panic or Brisie
The situation of the United States at this moment Ja very simile to that of Great Britain in 1842. The first modification in their tariff has just cums Jato operation. The exaggerations of the suppor ters of the protective system, for were political porpcses, have had their full effect upon the manu- acturing classes. Ever since the law was passed in the 1st session of Congress, the period of reapite, till the first of the present month, when it came into operation, has been used for the pat pose of forcing off, by all extraordinary meane, the stocks of goods on hand; and new productions have been much limited. Cakcues, printed cloths, woullens, and all descriptions of ganda have been forced upon the markets, by unction and otherwise, both by manufacturers and dealere, at prices at which they will never be replaced. The low prices thus arti- Scially cronted hare effectually deterred unpo.tr tina from Europe, as well as increased production in America, and the immediato effect produced upon the revenue of the Union must have been a serious disappointment to the Government. In the mean time, all theen ennsequences—the mere result of exaggerated fears-are attributed to the recent modification of the tariff. It is not, however, dif #cult to discover an arly solution to this date of thing. The stocks in the hands of denters and manufacturers have been reduced by present sacsi-
But most of our naval reformers commit the mis- take of decreying and disparaging the existing state of the Navy, instead of directing their arguments to the opportunities for improvement; and in order to depress the estimate of our naval forces, they coormously and ridiculously exaggerate those of tiral powers. This double misrepresentation doel not at all serve to advance naval improvement. The knowledge of what is false in the argument destroye the effect of what is true.

Captain Plunket seems to us to commit the mistake we have mentioned of exaggerating the state and resources of foreign navies, instead of confining himself strictly to the proof of how much more efficient our own can be rendered.

These are considerations which o?nnot be over. lonked by the politicians in ozory part of America, who desire mill to see the Butes remain united; and there is every evidence that the full force of there new circurasiances is felt by the advocates of pro. tection. In the Houthern States, the Protectionists party no longer refer to the Corn Laws of England josufication for their support of a high taci? in America. The duty upon cotton, small as it was, has been entirely repeated. The dalies upon grain, flour, provisions, and rice, have been all reduced to mere nominal rates. The Southern Butes feel the full advantages of these reductions, and already begin to show their sense of the injustice towards manning of other Powers ↑ Russia may put soldie them, and their trade with us, that dusios varying

The men mus have served as man-of-war's "men, for in no other school can they learn their duty; and they must ba kept either allost or askoro, either in marine bat. racks or additional guardships. The only difficul
on this point would be found in the repugnance it by ramen tu enter for any but particular ship or under a particular explain; but the loss of this freedom of eleciton might be compensated by a amall improvement in pay pension, or prospect of ratings, even if it were not thought to be fairly met by the advantage of continuous ?nstond of temporary employment."
The new plen in arrangement at the Adminky to which we have adverted would furnish crea practised in arms, and in considerable force- enough certainly to meet any probable sudden (mer- gonoy.
We quote from our contemporary another sug- gestion deserving of consideration:
Next, then, there arises the question, bow da bulk of our sailors are to be obtained without recour se to impressment when necgasily requires. One of the schemes for this purpose which has obtained the attention of two successive Administraziona ja that of Lieutenant Bowden, of which the following is an outline-Every merchant weasel is to carry. For ovary 150 tons of her register, one ? Qucen man' and one Queen's boy,' The first to be an able senman, and the second not under fikoen years of age. The former is to be liable at any time and under any circumstances to serve in the Royal Na vy, and the latter is to step into bin full mook at the age of twenty. The term of the Queen's man's en- gagement is to be five years, renewable at its ex piration for a like term, and then entilling him to a pension; and both he and the boy, in adulition to their regular wages, are to receive a small monthly allowance from Government. It is calculated that from London and Liverpool alope some 13,000 or 14,000 able seamen could thus be procured at a few days' notice, even if only one querier of the vessels had been enabled to enter the prescribed number of Queen's men. The readiness of the men to accept those terms is presumed from the considerations tha their wagen wuld be increased, their time of servi tude defined, ti air pension certain, and their chance very good of ajoying the advantages of the Roys! service without ever actually serving. Nor conceived that the masters of merchant vessels would be otherwise than consenting parties, inasmuch as they are not required to enter them men over and above their proper complement, but only as part of them, and since these mes, and these only, would be liable to be taken away from their ships by any of her Majesty's vamela, a r?gu- lation which would inform them of the preci?s extent of their liability in the event of any aukko demand. The possible efficiency of merchant som men for the bigher cluties to which they may la rendered liable, in a consideration only second in importance to the regulations for securing their ser vices by an equitable ooptract; and a former aug. gestion of our correspondent's deserves attention ag well as the hints throw out in his present leuer. It is to the effect that on this clam of persons are exempt from the militia ballot, they should be se quired to attend a drill of their own on board on exercising abip a certain periods while with certain limits of a part; and we are entirely of the gallant author's opinion. that a few triding prizes and a little act in the captain-superintendent would soon make this exorciso a great deal more popular than skittles or ninepina,"
There can be no doubt that the nautical resources of Great Britain are ample, if the right uns be made of them, and in that is our immense superio rhy over our neighbours. Bacon says of minds, that there are some like milk, which will only bear one skimming. And so it is with the French marine-it only beats one skimming, its cream is exhausted in the first brush of a war, and there on end.- Examiner, January 9.
A fatal pettiness of action in the English Pre- sectionist Bocieties evinces the actual decay of the party. The schiam on the question of the Mak tax is not only su?esed to be visible, but manibers of the party have fallen to bickering about it among themselves. We noted, last week, sin differn-on of opinion between the few leading statesmen na the great body of the Protectionists: alive to the danger of a rupture—ansble, we presuman, to via over Lord Stanley and other chiefs-the Central Society" has adopted the mortal expedient of trim- and sparingly enough, for one manning of herming: it hen modified its declaration for sepani fleets.

But we may be told that though the nautical re sources of France went depth, as it were, yet to their extent they are promptly available; and that though they could not feed a loug naval war, they would throw into sudden action a large force for the as Capt. Plunkett supposess in this respect 1 We have reason to believe not. We have reason to believe that the present Board of Admiralty is making or has made an arrangenfent, by which a large force of able seamen can upon emergency be drafted into our ships in a few hours.

This resource, however, should not dispense with other manauires for recruiting the navy. No expe a neglected, and no expense spared, to render the service attractive and popular; and we my this in the thorough conviction that the awo of the British Navy is the great security for the peace of Europe, and that the best national economy is to grudge nothing necessary to its efficiency.
The Times has some suggestions as to the neces sity of having the command of crews trained to fighting, besides the reserve of able seamen not skilled in orma, which desatro attention:
"We must be prepared with fighting crews at an hour's notice; and these can only come from a regular reserve. A full complement of volunteers from the merchant service, though in the finest spirit and condition, would not answer the purpose. They mir be gunners as well as heroes. No doubt

Our advices are brought down to 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The troops were quarter- ed in the factories, and the field pieces landed in the American Garden.

The only resistance offered was at the Barrier fort, where they were fired upon, and had to blow open the gates, We have not board that any lives were lost.

But as it is movement now in kself, and unequalled in it to sults, (so far as it has gone) it will form the subject of discussion and comment throughout Europe.
1 am faithfully.
Although no formal declaration has been made, Great Britain is at this present mo inent at war with China. In his treaty, Bir Henry Pottinger did not provide for such a contingency; and, as it is a matter of the greatest importance to our Readers, we beg to lay before them the position they occupy, ac cording to the enablished laws of nations, where special treaties do not make provising for commercial relations during hostilities. We quote from Hunt's Merchants Magazine" for September. The writer refers to the war be- Wetween the United States and Mexico; but as a treaty between those powers, wisely provides for the protection of the person and property of the Citizens of either Republic during how tilities, we have confined our extract, to the re. Fush-lations of Merchants with a country against which war has been declared. We presume it is understood that an act of aggression, such as seizing the Bogue forts, is in itself a declars ?tion of war :--

American name of the firm, to which Henry Wad. dington belonged, was Joshua Waddington and Company. The English name of 11. Waddington's firm was H. Weddington and Company. Evidence was produced to show that the partnership was dis solved in 1912, but there was no evidence of a notice of dissolution. In 1818, an affidavit was sworn to by Joshua Waddington, in which he stated that Henry Waddington, residing in England, togaber with deponem and R. J. Newby, all citizen of the United Bayes, were partners, and that their business was conducted in England by H. Waddington, who also conducts the English cusiness of the firm of F). Waddington and Company, which is composed of said Eleary and of deponent',
The claim consisted of a balance of account of veral thousand dollars, arising from transections had, during the war, between the plaintiff and Henry Waddington, in England. The suit was instituted in the Supreme Court of New York, and process was served "upon Joshua Waddington, and on him alone. The opinion of the court, adverse to the claim of the plaintiff, was pronounced by Ame brose Bpencer, thon judge. Jedge Spencer declared that war either suspends or absolutely sonals those relations of commercial partnership which existed whan the wat first breaks out; it having placed the two parties in such position that they could be log. ger act as partners. Partnership, when unexplain ad, he defined as a contract by which the pantie agreed to units their joint skill, labor, and capel, for the purposes of the partnership-a conitaci which death, lunacy, sad the like events, dissolve immediately upon their occurence; because they ? producing the like destroy the considerpsion of the contract. He re agrded the declaration of war consequences, and as dispensing with the necessity of giving any public notice ul dissolution of part. nership.
This cause was subsequently carried up to the Court of Errors, and the opinion read by Chancellor Kest in favor of affirming the decision of the Bu- preme Court, is a master-piece of legal learning

THE FRIEND OF CHINA
AND HONGKONG GAZETTE. VICTORIA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL Tru, IIT,
During the present crisia, a pornmary of pass ing events will be more valuable than editorial coinments; we therefore lay before our Ro- aders the intelligence from Canton as we re- ceive it, merely asking that they will not be sur prised at seeing “the slips” appear in the pa? per on its usual day of publication,
Our prootedings is a virtual declaration of war. Where it to end is an enigma, but we cor tainly think that our measures are not prema ture, though it were desirable that the force | employed had been a stronger one.
Ships of cartel and of truce are, of necessity, per- but they must be confined to their legitimate purposes. and not be made the vehicles of trade. The cass of ransom bill forms a necessary exception to the ge neral interdiction of intercourse; and, indeed, a qua- | |lified commerce during war is often specially licensed |

Our 200 rehes, hitherto, have been confined to the European continent; we have scarcely placed a foot on British ground, and yes we see that the highest authorities on the law of nations, Grotius, Pullendorf Burks maqui, Vattel, Bynkershook, and a series of more subordinate and Incal oplotons, such as shows of Boerias, Clairac, Valin and Emerigon, and the mu ritime ordinances of Spain, France, Holland, and Sweden, waitedly prove that all private communi. cation and commaece with an enemy in time of war, are unlawful, and that by the mere fact and fore of the Beclaration of war, all the subjects of one sta?e are placed in direct hostility to all the subjects of the other.

The Chancellor proceeded to show that the de claretien of war did, of itself, work a dissolution of all commercial partnerships existing at the time.

Fified manner, so far show the probability of all such foure being perfectly groundless, that the one pro-
with those who think with me, and who in common with myself have had intimate experience of the consequences of those facts. Under the chartered monopoly of the East India Company, they catered to the tastes of our popolation as to the quantity of this "agreeable superfurty" they would consume; taking care, however, by their apot prices, to esta
blish so artificial a value for this the only article of
commerce that ever paid them a profit as to add msterially to their dividends: towards the expiration
of their leat charter these putting up or taxed prices were considerably reduced; but to what extent soever the consumption increased, they always left behind them on the bande of their suppliere a quantity of tea equivalent to one-third of their year's import and this was known by them and by us as winke in." being bought by the Company's agents at the openlag of the next season comparatively at therr own prices. And we have the same experience will; for even when our merchanm, more sanguine then usual, increased cheis demand in one year from below forty to upwards of 60y millions, the same was readily supplied, and a considerable surplus left on the Centea markets as natual: indeed, never has the demand, when most speculative, ever been check- ed by an insufficiency of supply komediately at hard within the history of the ven-trade, whether we look only within the memory of those at pressat em- berked in it, or for the whole of the past century, It is surely, then, sol unfair ground for more than inference, that no greater difficulty will arise, how- Caterer largely we are combled to foresee our demands, ing yet uncertained fact, that the gathered and con- since all our experience is backed by the astound. sumed quantity by the native population exceeds in hundreds of millions what we 'oither have hitherto or are likely for many years to arrive ut. My next fact shall refer to quality. Year after your did the East India Company in every despatch wrge on their supercargoes to obtain supplies of finer Bouchong tea, often complaining of the nonfol?lment of their pepeated desires on this behalf. The "Co Hong" then existed, and their will was the ukineation; and no one of the Company's agents cold over success- fully cope with them, until Mr Reeves, aimesl? a critical judge of the article, proved that knowledge was power!" but what was dificult to them, become comparatively easy to the Gret free-traders, who were individually interested in the proceeds of the article taken by them from the same monopolizing Honga; and Bouchong tea of quality excelling any ever brought by the "merchant king" found it way here so early an 1846; and so rendity do the intel. ligent and indefatigable selectors engaged for our merchants obtain (now that they are in direct com monication with the tes men) just what they pres. cribe as to quality, that not only have very large parcels of Congou tes been skinped year by year

B Roor Pra's pupil and follower, Lord Lincoln, has been making a declaration of his poll tical views to the electors of Manchester; some of who have invited him to be candidate at the gono- Jal election. There is no doubt that he would be a | very suitable Member for the borough in conjune- tion with Mr Afilmer Gibson, especially as repre wing that liberal Conservatism which first releed I bead in Manchester. But whether bo, Mr John Bright, or some other person, ought to be the soc- of Mr Mark Philips, is a quaation Biter to be decided by the sufficiently shrewd slectors them- free, then to be beadied about among boned par- Mame welling in London newspapers Lord - sin's speech is generally regarded as an approxi- mate exposition of Sir Rogert Peel's views as to actual state of public airs; and in that light it has been read with great interest. If we nzo warranted in so regarding it, our anticipations re specting the position which Sir Robert Pes and a friend's would be likely to take in the coming session of Parliament are fully borne out. Although our readers are aware that we did not entertain mach doubt upon the subject, we may say that the Murence which we gather from Loel Linoola's speech is very satisfactory. In his frank and ex pick address, we discern the expected superiority to party feeling.

Air Bhuck corrected this impromion. Artimus of other countries were freely admitted into China, and no jealousy had been excited because of their coming. Buch persons might be of vast service to the missionarice. One geatleman who went to Chi- n", by his recommendation, with a sinali capitel, had been very prosperous, had taken active part in the religions proceedings in his church in Canton, and why indeed his right hand man. He gave both hie labors and means liberally to the church. A few such men would do a great deal to advance the caure of Christianity at a missionary station.
Bir W Crops favored the resolution. He cook! confide as implicitly in the religions merchant as in the ministers. fle would just as soon trust them no the ministers. He meat no refletion upon the ministers their calling was the most dignified and exalted under heaven ; might God bless them and crown their efforts with success. When he was an apprentice he had been urged to study for the min latry; and again, when he was more advanced la life, he had been pressed with the same suggestion, but he declined. Ele did not feel satisfied that he ought to do so-be had soen odies make wrecka? of themselves.

As Lord Juha is a discreet man, we fasey ho will think twice before he legislates on Manka statistica, The Looton deputation, however, believing fine ly in the Manks statistics, proceeded to urge the First Lord of the Treasury that the consumptio of the United Kingdoms would rise to the high standard of Man, which would make the whole 80,000,000 of pounds, and that this, with the la duty, would givo a revenue of 4,000.000. The history of the Tea trade, from the abolition of be mopupoly to the present time, is rather against this conclusion of no augmentation in a single yet of 85,000,000 of pounds. The proposed reduction of duty is is 2?il a pound. Now, on the very ne T'ens, the reduction of price, since the open:got' the trade, has ranged from 2+ up to pu and yet the increase of consumption, not in twelve months, but in twelve years, has been only 1,400 or a malety, and an odd 7,000,000 of pounds to boot, as than the Masks precedent would ma it, pro re nata, in one short year.

What right has the Government to interfere Why does not the Goverment interfere ? These twa questions are equally common in England. and in most cases equally absurd. En aft of good bu meur, there is no amount of power which the Eng. lish are not willing to bestow on the Legislature In an opposite mood, they trammel and torment by silly carping and childish suspicions, The at titude of the English people in reference to their Gorernment is an alternation between excessive jea lousy and excamive indulgence; and is generally happens that the indulgence and the jealonry are aliko misplaced.

This first of Sir John's "reasonable demands," is reasurable enough. The Chinesa aduntieda year ago, that we were entitled to fren unter: coure with the city, only begging that we would defor inmiting upon it til the poputne mind had been prepared foratchi an event.

Bince ups reflection, the merchants of every nation in their future intercourse, now intend to live on mu good terms, we therefore believe that farther anty is unnecessary: besides, in each of the neighbouring public halls 10,000 men practise their military ex ?rcises together, daily instructing each other.

Wa, the said Magistrates, did not come to Cabion until we were fully acquainted with our duty. Each of us transmits this clear proclamation that you Shopkeepers and Members of the Four halls now with equal propriety mutually protect ch other the same as penal; you need not be afraid.

The criminal Semions of the Supreme Court closed to-day. It is gratifying to know that the Calendar was light-in all twenty cases most of them for trifling offences. Several of the prisoners (Chinamen) plead guilty, which is something now with them, and it is to be hoped from this that they are beginning to fear and re- spect a regular Judicial tribunal. Sentence of death was passed on four boatmen convicted of murder committed on board a boat they were plundering near Tytan on the 30th of March.

Letters of the 14th mention, that Mr Consul Macgregor had been pelted with stones by the "Sovereign people." Mr Macgregor takethe mattor very quietly; b?t it is an insult to be atoned for. If there is a man in Canton, who might be expected to escape the contumely of those ruffians, it is the Gentleman we have named. His years alone should command respect from the Chinese, with whom reverence for age is a virtue; add to this, his perfectly unauming, and inoffensive manger, and we may imagine the tone of public feeling, since Sir John Davis's visit. The same day, Captain Graves had a brick thrown at him when ins pecting the ground on the Honan side.

The Stores already built are perhaps expable of holding all the cargues imported from En- gland as they arrive, or until a market is found for them. With the exception of Cotton, Indian produce could also be warehoused. There is no wharfage, nor are there barboor does of any kind. This is all favourable to the desired end -the storage of goods for the Canton market, bot the difficulty is in the distance and the consequent delay in their transit, supposing they were sold at the Factories by muster.

DENUNCIATION OF KEYING,
The English have rebelled against us, disobeying our laws and bringing disorder and injury on the "Flowery Nation. Keying's heart is inwardly in clined towards them: he disregards our families, and, trampling on the people, he thereby degrale the nation. His crime deserves to be punished with death; it is therefore desirable that every one of should start himself, that, all uniting together, we ma set fire to his palace, and then cast his dead body the street.

The frigate subsequently! wonded her way on that comprehensive cruise to which she had originally been destined: and the steamer remained at Pinang. Short trips were made in smaller vemels to the settlement, and a go neral supervision kept up, but to what effect is not accurately known. The Gazette staton * that a Portuguess overseer and 28 Chinese now constitute the strength of the Danish establishment, the rest having been removed by death or otherwise. And our contemporary concludes by saying. It in got probable therefore that much was accomplished during the past year; and in all likelihood before the present year "closis those islands will be again abandoned."**
We are not quite soured of this. A national hobby is poverbially the last to be relinquished, and we have reason to know that the Danish go, vernment do consider this as a very feasible, though an arduous, achenie. It it a personal pet of the monarch; but not of those who hold the monarch's money bogs--there having been no attempt to dis guise is difficulties or expense.

Mu Erron-Coo you inform me why the para graph in the Overland number of the Chinu Mail, published for distant readers, so insulting and so Jibelious to the Mercantilo Community of Canton should be altered in yesterday's number issued for circulation in China J
It looks to me very like a document “ published by authority" in one instance, and corrected by ex- pediency in the other.-I am, Mr Editor, your's obediently.

Canton, April, 29th, 1847.
Treaty has been respected, save in Canton into which City entrance has not been parmited, and which alone justified the expedition, we can ima agine with what wonder nod indignati?n your Lind- thip will peruse your despatches, when you find, that when the City alone requiral the exercise to make the authorities yield that and other neces of that power which iter Majesty's forces possossed sary privileges, aut only has that point boon post. poned for two years, be that the other siz srticles. are concessione trivial and unimportant when com Let others do as they may, Me Edilor, for myselfpared with the unnossary display which has been made to obtain them Any diplomatist can see, that the consenting to a postponement for two years is virtually an admission that no entrance is required by the British, since the Chinese Authorities and the Chinese Mob, who are the authorities on this point, pared to resist when the time for admission has ar profiting by their previous succosses, will be pre-
lion has not been obtained, why was the expedition ever planned and commenced
It was not that on the 6th the British force was too small for the intended purpose; we have reson the firm in the belief that the force was ample and sufficient for its intended operatione The British Community were of this opinion for on the 5th they were as a Military body inspected by General D'?guilar, who in his address to them declared that bo treaty should be carried out to the letter. The Civil power had the same belief (for the Commund ly by Circuler issued by Mr Consul Macgregor) were requested to hold themselves in readiness to repel any attack which might be made on the fac orice when the troops were attacking the City. If then in a City besieged the resident Merchants are found to remain in defence of their Houses. with their opinion of is perfect compatibility to subdue any agressive power from the Chinese, posceable men are found at their posts in the hour of danger If with a brave and highly disciplined farce-plans admirably arranged-disposicions, as to position and co-existent operations equal to the esmorgenoy laid down-Men bigh in hope-and Officers full of ex pectation that to them and those under their com and would be left the punishment of the semi bor barsus authorition, who dared to break a solemn com pact, and when for two centuries of indignity heaped upon the foreign Community,
I now call upon the political Generalissimo of the recent Expedition. I call upon its military Commander in Chief, and bis Assistant Adjutant General, to answer the following questions.
Question Lat-Was it or was it not included in the first General Order issued at Hongkong for the embarkation of the Force that on the capture of the Bogue forta a contingent of 200 men was to have been left behind there as a garrison; it being considered Decossary for securing the safe return of the Expedition that the Chinese should not bare an opportunity of tampering with lines of ord nance which under the circumstances could only be temporarily and roughly disabled
Quration and if the occupation of the Bogue
originally deemed essential to the safe return. of the army, why was abandoned?
Question 3rd-When Her Majesty's Steamer Valture was approaching the Rogue on the morning of 2nd April last, and the roll was beat to master for purpose of telling off the landing parties into divi-ions, were not two thirds of the Force destined for this service found to be DRUNK DEAD
DRUNK-BOLVING DRONE-KOARING DRUKK?
Quration 4th-When the Artillery gno-bont was hauled alongside for telling off the landing parties of that are in the like manner, was there half a dozen men expable of duty, or not in stata of RwIKIEN INTOXICATION ?
Question 5th-Was the garrisoning of the Bogue not obliged to he standoned in consequence!!!!
Question - When the crew of the "Volure" were piped to quarters. her deck cleared fur ae. tion, and the powder hearght on deck for loading the guns, how many dranken Soldiers of the 16th Royal Irish staggered in amongst the powder-buckets with lighted pipes in their monike, to the imminent deadly risk of destroying Her Majesty's Ship and every soul on board of IL!
Question 714.-Were the proceedings of the Courts Marual in this case, which were carried on at the Murray Barracks at Hongkong during some ten days after the return of the Expedition formanded to the Horse Guards by last mail, au bearing out and illustrating the Major General's lo TALUMPAN daled Head Quarters, Victoria. April 10-addressed to the collection Force of the Ex. pedition without distinction 1
Question 8th-Would the Military Authorities of Hongkong wish us to inform them of the enact finding of these Couis Martial, as illustrating and proudly maintaining," the last clavas of their Chief's lo triumphe?
Question Oth-Will the Seorolargal war in his place in the House of Commons he enabled to answer out of the fulness of the Major-General's Despatches any further particulars or details which
"This rich repeal is so nigh and yet not ours,” Your Lordship can only come to the conclusion that ir Joha Francis Davis, has committed himself hope lessly and beyond redemption by consenting to so ignoble a peace; that he has disgraced the British character in the eyes of the civilised World, that he has cast a slur-Oh! how underserved on British Arms-that he has lowered us in the eyes of the Chinese Government-put the foreign community in a position to be insulted—which oven the presence of an armed force cannot prevent--rendered it no longer safe to remain in this place with our families-injured the interest of British Trade-und worse than all the delay as to entering the City of Canton is grant ing the Bouthern Authorities, something which they will be quite right in calling a Victory, will diear range ip a few months the growing emity which has existed at three of the Northern Ports, and thus alti. mately loading the British Government into an ex- prasive and unpopular war, which can alone be con cluded at the expense of much treasure and blood on the side of either Nation. I say Sir John Francia Davis has done this and as I ao informed he has spared the City upon principles of false humanity I tell you my Lord, this vacillation in the Councils of His Excellency will cause in a hundred fold do gres the destruction of life at some and not a very dis- tant period; and if any Man deserved to be impeach by the Crown of whom he is the unworthy ser vani, that Man is Bir John Francis Daris.
I say nothing my Lord on what the lately ac quired possession of Hongkong was when he arrive I assure your Lordship words are weak in ex- pression, compared with the feelings excited in the mind of the British Community at this his crowning act; every head bung low at the first paragraph of his Public Notification, and honest indignation bare from every lip.

I now my Lord offer a low remarks upon the Article No. I, viz:-The postponement for two years of our entrance into the city. And I would ask if your Lordship thinks this promise will be fulfilled? Is it possible we can suppose that at the end of two years, the Chinese forts will be unmanned, and that 827 Guns will be gain spiked without a singlo casualty Is it not fair to presume that what we are prepared to demand they will refuse, and bo ready to back their refusal British character, and British Trade, have received a blow in which none will more participate to their advantage, than our friends on the other side the Atlantic, who through all this misconducted business have watchfully held aloof, silently observing proceedings working s much to their best.
It cannot now be the time to enquire, why a 16- silent should be so anxious to enforce privilege which is permitted at the other Porta in China open to British Trade, it is quite sufficient, that it has been made an Artig, of a treaty already sufferol with impunity to be rampled under foot-to shew it is of too great importance to be thrown thus away at the very moment was within our reach, and its now possession has subjected us to the conturnely of the Americaos, of Europeans of Natives, not for. getting the Natives of China from the Mandarin to the low at Coolie, who are proud, and satisfied at the advantage they have obtained is niny be said, that it world have been a wantotruction of life to have bombarded the city, this argument cannot be made use of by Sir John F. Davis, for how did be know how many Chinese he night have had to destroy, had the forts been manned eru be back so- cured his retreat? That emergency would hero caused him to take away life, he could not tall, but that it would have been required and if needed it would have been done, and if just in conquering a fort jun in conquering city. I pay my Lord no attention to the supposition that any great destruction of life or property would have taken place. A few lockets fired across the city would at once have brought the Chinese to submission; the Chinese here disbelieve the possession of our ability to project such so a distance, this fact should have been demonstrated to them, and they would soon have submitted Keying or some other chief Magistrats should have been brought before H. M. Plenipotentiary, and here made security, that in the event of any casual, caused by wisful aggremion, befalling any foreigner being found, the Chief of the street himself became when in the city, in the event of such aggrem?r n?t responsible. Indeed my Lord it is surprising that with the knowledge which it has hitherto been suj- posed H. E. Sir John Francis Davie posted of the Chinese character, he did not in that the Minor Mandanas, and the heads of Burorts, should themselves witness the humbleness with which it is said that wily politicien Keying has out witted H.

From that time to the spension of the Act and Viel, cap. 88, the relaxation of the Navigation Laws has been inces. uant, and always forced, like the fitat great relian tion in four of the United Sister, by circumstan Do which the Government could not control. Now It was the independence of the Now Bomb Ameri and Bute opening a profitable employment for our shipping, while those states threatened to ex clude them by Navigation Laws, which compelled to relax our Navigation Lowe in our own and their favour. Next it was the demands and the threats of Prussia and the siber states of Europe, and lastly, the wishes of our own colonies, whose welfare was compromised by restriction on their trafic, which induced the Legislature, in spite of remonstrances from the ignorant and selfish ship owners, who wished to make their ill-understood interest the law of the land, to alter the law co a to leave it only a poor remnant of what it once was. The spirit is, in truth, now wholy evaporated, and little more remains of it than a very useicas prohibition against foreignces carrying on our coasting trade.

Professor Babbage ruight readily in youta unachine to do all their duty. immense largo envelopes, nd. dressed to an "Excelleney," with many eteteras, despatebes, upon an awful sacrifice of space and improportion is the matter contained in them, are Imidied out by every tail that is borne across the Atlantic by the stomers. Governor, Legislative Asemblies, civil officers, are beond down by this mighty span of rage to the most grovelling depen- dence, and this is terined colonial government.
It has been toust certainly an ancient, and it has

It imagine that the wisest policy ought to be founded upon a just estimate of the true interests of the colonies themselves. Do not trust in the time of danger to appeals to loyalty and duty: let it be the Rerest of the colonies to remain our friends. Encourage with a liberal hand every plan that may carryWa population and capital to their shores let them free ly enjoy every possibla wicentage in matters more immediately their own. Instead of fearing or thwart ing local exertions, arouss the colonists to the exercise of their own energies de not humper your concessions by red topa provisions. Take advantage of the power of steam to draw together the scattered elements of future power, so that when the tine comes, either for our enemies, or for themselves, to amort their emancipation, they may be in a condition to maintain it
You have united the Legislatures of Upper and Lower Canade, Carry this principle further, and let New Brunswick and Nova Scotia be added to it. Bring all the West Indies under one Government, and one Legislature, and one judienture. Get rid of the expenses of separate jurisdictions, Lat the Lillipua mimickry of a Parliament on a Caribbean rook be superseded by a delegate representation of the whole group. Let a Supreme Court of Judica ture send its Judges upon eirenit through the islands, and let one Commander in-Chief and one nilitary sabe extooded over all, with an ampla service of steamboats that may minister to the necessites either of penes or war. nm, Sit, your mo obedient,

WHY DOES NOT INDIA SUPPLY US WITH COTTON)
(From the Economial, January 23 ) Scarcely a Wook, may, sonreely a day pemen, that this question is not asked, or does not occur to the mind of every one who is concerned, directly or in. directly, with the manufactures and the commerce this country. The deficient supply of the article in hand at present, Ingather with the reports we have from ?roscica, and the limited quantity we can essunatly sapect to most our sigencies, become matters of rare consideration; for what is to become of the thousands of Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Scotch operativne, if energies are to be idle for want of material, or the material become so high us to abeck the sale of our goods abroad 7
"The query we have taken for our motto has, we think, bean answered in a pamphlet published by Major-General Brigge, as far back as 1899, consist. ing of twelve pages, read before the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, in the month of November of ibat Y?r. We have already re- ferred to the pamphlet in our No. 171 of December last, but we are induced to give circulation to a larger portion of it than we otherwise should have done, because we understand there are serious thoughts of getting up cotton-growing companies for the sales madering us, in some measure, more independent them we now are of our transatlantic brachten.
It is to those enterprising merchants who talk of growing cotton in India, to whom we especially ud. dress ourselves; and if the details we are compelled to furnish, in order to be useful be somewhat heavy, notemplates the diversion of the cotton twde of yet they are sook as no speculator in a project, who

From the pertinacity with which our contem porary, the "Official Organ,” reiterates the bold but groundless assertion, that Sir John Davis was willing to consult the British merchants in to the inaiters to be adjusted with Ch?as oar bis recent visit to Canton ; and the impudent and recklem menner in which he gave the lie to all who denied that the document drawn up at the Comulate, healed the Wishes and Views of the British Residents of Canton,” was a boka Ade instrument emanating from the British residents, some idea may be formed off John David's intense desire to implicate hip countrymen, if not in the outrags itself, at longt The NOTITIA LIsnum Strice or Farwar in the contemptible results.

Cautiously it is conducted, and however anxious dying the language of China. It is the committed; but if imbued with a spirit of wu. the its manager may be to avoid them, is freely ad- mon belief that Chinese is difficult to acquire: and this deters many from entering upon

Davis and other authorities say that it is a unistake to suppose that Chinese hard language, as a sufficient number of words for all the ordinary purposes of intercourse is not #chifficult task; though a critical acquaintance with a tongue having fifty thousand distinct characters, not a combination of sounds but of symbols widressed to the sease, becomes the fabour of years, and is geldons attained by Fo- Feigners, or even by Chinese scholars.

A single thread of fiue cotton, bow over pun by the fingers of the Hindon in British India, when the sured in the same way, was found to be, got the four hundred and eightieth part of an inch, bot the one thoundth pari of an inch in diameter: that it required, at least, four such threads of hand-span British India cotton twisted together to make onu thread equal in thickness to finest machine-spun cotton in this country. He also stated that a cer tain degres of moisture is required to be used in spin- ning the fine threads by hand in India, and thai to this cause in to be attributed the different appearances of the threads as viewed with a glass of high mag. nifying power. The fibres of that which was spug by machinery and without moisture were easily die tinguished,and seemed to touch each other only in certain place; whilst the fibre of that spun by hand. and with a little moisture, seemed to touch in s every part, thereby making a stronger thread with the same quantity of cotton of much fast appeas- Thus much for the quality of the indigenous co ande, but not so area in thickness.” tot, which we may broadly dowgnato as the coton of the old world.

The great bulk of the indigenous cotton varice little in quality, and not much lo price. This is owing mainly to the mode of gathering cleaning, and packing the cotton, in which processes difficulties present them selves which we find altoded to in the pamphlet, and account, in some measure, for the East Indian cotton of this description always standing at a lower figure in the market than any other which is brought into it.

smokers are soldiers, sailors, and mandarine—wbo appear to think it a manly habit, es indicating a bold weaklenom. The parantry hardly ever touch it. Me Guislaf's position as police magis | trate of Chumo afforded the best rozone of knowing the character of the people; anil he mys that the persoas brought before him rarely averaged abors, Three in a month, and those chiefly for petty pilfar ing. He gives, however, a remarkable instance of Lynch low, which tells rather oddly for the strength of the Chinese government, as well as for | European notions of pacific conduct. Bome outlawa, who were mid to bare boen employed by the go- vernment to kidnap our soldiers, souled themselves at Chosun; where they committed all kinds of de- predations in the neighbourhood. They were warned off; but treatoil the warning with contempt. The popular indignation was roused; the ruffians were isod-put on board a boat, with stones tied about their necks-and dropped into the sea. Noth H. jog was ever heard after this affair, The Chinese law is theoretically excellent, but utterly disgarded in practice. The mandarin oppours to have the power of life and death; and be certainly has the power to inflict any degree of torture-even auch as may cause death. In order to get rid of the legal necessity of procuring the imperial ament before puning a criminal to death, blank forms of assent are kept to be filled up when wanted; and the condemned man is executed often before the court breaks up. Schools are numerous at Hong. kong, nod in the south generally; and almost all can read:—while at Chusan and Ningpo ignorance of letters is very frequent,--and oven literary gru- duates are inferior in acequirements to the older school boys of Kwong Tung.-There is no practical provision for the poor, and thourauds annually die of starvation. But mendicity is universal; and beg ging fraternities are numerous and well organised. A beggar can hardly ever exercies his calling without joining one of these bodies.

*The Register publishes the Minute of the Chum her of Commerce without comment, but the Friemi, stating the discourtesy of the Chainber, introduces it with half a colume of remarks, which open with an alleinpt to patvert our words by a file colouring as any oue may perceive who will take the trouble to compare the Fraind's version with what has ac. 4tually appeared in our columns (Sos Chiva BEAIL

Ichab shown in our last number, that the eutions of the old and new world prefer different arake, and it is for tunate for the cotton question it is so. The sich black soil-the debris of the great temp formation corers an area, roughly estimated at 200,000 square mika. Now if only two-thirds of this ares were cultivated with cotton, yielding, as it certainly woul with proper cultivation, a bal of 300 of cotton per sore, it would produce 210,000,000 bales whereas, all the cotton imported into England Jo not exceed 1,700,000 batre. There are, baides this area, available for the indigenous cotton, 413,173 square miles being more than double the same ex- tent also available for the cottons of the weste world. In a word: there is in Louis land copalig of growing five handred times as much cultun asis now annually brought to England; and it may truly be said to be the natural region for supplying com to the universe.

While sit J. Davis and Keying were holding their conference, a meeting of Braish subjects was called to consider what would be advisable to sug. gratto H. B.; but li was the genocal opinion that we were too late to offer any suggestion, and befors anything was decided upon, a report was brought that the troops were called out to quell a distorts ance, and the necting diuaired without coming to any decision on the master! How, then, can Sir John Davis, or bis organ, publish this document an "Statement of the Views and Wishes of the Bri- tub Community That the Consul may, in the course of conversation with individuals, have dia. covered that these items, published as the views and wishes of the British community, (and to which," with the exception of clearing the front of the Fac suries of bonis, we were undoubtedly entitled by previous treatics,) would be desirable, is possible; but that they were the vietra and wishes of the community is a statement as visionary at the expe dition itself has proved to be futile when the si ** conceded" for building purposca cannot be visited with safety!

material power, without which we might indeed be * nation of hucksters and pedlate, but could never know the high glories or responsibilities of empire. An incident which illustrate the hardness of an English soklier's life and the retributive gratitude of his countryman has just occurred. On the Oth of this month the 31st Regiment disembarked at Gravesend, after a merice of 21. youre in lod?a Of the Offcare who went out, only two have re- surned; of the private soldiers, it is Brobable that not thirty of those who embarked in the year 1825 are now in the regiment. In such a length of time, change of climate and absence do their worst. The soldier, condemned to an exilo which the milinry Jesources of his country do not allow to be aurtalled, Is made more susceptible of disease by dispondency. With the long-deferred hope of visiting England at, last languishes the energy which had kept him alive; be droje-he die Thus gradually, an by man are those masses of valour and enthusicom mown down which left England in the flush of hope and the buoyancy of youth. But it was not climato nor time that alone spread death through the ranks of the 31st. They had already on a period of service three times as long ng that which is exacted from the Prussian sol·liers, without the opportunity of earning anything beyond the praise of having performed an obscura and inevitable duty with fidelity. But it was not for this that they were welcomed by applauding shouts when they landed in England; it was not the recollection of a com mon and routine virtue that thrilled in the heart of the thousands who met and escorted the regiment. muid repeated aclamations, into Chatham. It was the meinary of the hard fought battles of the Sutlej. kindled afresh by the sight of the trophies which the victors bad brought home. Four standards, one won from the field of Feroseshah, ono from Aliwal, and two from Sobraon, reminded the spec- tators how well the glory of England had been preserved by her soldiers in the far East. But more deeply touching than the sight of spoil or trophy were the old colours of the regiment, for to shreds by the arrowy sleet of grape-shot, but carried through the thickest of the carnage, and up to the muzzles of the Bikh-guns, by officers whose life-bloed was shed in their defence. Such s consummation-as far as thin greatnem of achiere. ments in concerned—compensates for the long and tedious inactivity, which preceded it. This is one | side of the picture. Let us now turn to the others, less cheering by far. It is not in the nature of right- shinking men to discocuses important services from those by whom they were conferred. Nor should
? gross country do that which good men woul blush to do. Of the 733 men and thirty-two officers which the ls carried into action at Moodkee twenty-eight oficers and upwards of 500 men were among the killed and wounded. Of the latter how Jnany will be able to rejoin their ranks ?. Of those who are disabled, what is the prospective condition 1 The question should not be asked.

Brig Epingle Buruibuat all labour-then surely we cannot grudge to those who have fought, bled, and con querod for us, the subsistence which their self. devotion makes it impossible they abould earn for themselves. We will not allow ourselves to believe that a case recorded in the police reports truly describes the situation to which the wounded English soldier is reduced. We know, indeed, tim long time of service is prescribed, preliminary to the receipt of an ordinary pension. But we trasl that wounds received in battle are deamed sufficient whereon to ground extraordinary rewards; and that
men crippled at Moodkee or Aliwal will not be
turned adrift upon the cold charity of our work. houses, or the stray pillage of our towar. This is
an age in which past services are too easily for- gotten in the conflict of prosent claims, and old

The war between the United States and Mexico drags on with little success to either party. The American troops have taken Chihuahua, and the Mexicane bave cut off one or two lomaging parties, Hanta Anna is stationary at Saint Lestis with the bulk of his army, considerable force of cavalry being kept in front of General Taylor's position to cut off detachments, a sort of warfare for which the Mexicans aro well qualified. General Scullis con- centrating a large force with the intention of attack ing Vera Cruz by land and water. If successful he may inarch upon the City of Mexico, a distance of 270 miles; but before he reaches the table land he will have force conflicts in the mountain defiles. In the incantime, the Congress of the United States has appropriated three millions to enable the President to conclude a treaty of peace." I remaina to be son whether this will purchase penco or not. We think disorganized as they are, and divided among themselves, the Mexican leaders will not sell the interest of their country, nor consent to a dishonourable peace. Mexico can exist within her solf, and the possession of the ports on the East Coost, and the desolate uninhabited districts which surround them, will have liulo effect upon the inter- nal prosperity of the country. One summer of Vera Cruz and Tampico will prove more deadly to a foreign army than three pitched baules. Bama Auns hat some experience of the war of climate with European troops. It was mainly to yellow fever, that he was indebted for his victorias over a Spanish army in the vicinity of Tampico about twenty years ago.

FIRST.-The annual report of the East Todia and China Association, appended to which is s Memorial on the Tes Dulies, presented to Lord John Russel. A subject referring so directly to the interests of our trado, cannot fail to attract the attention of the British merchants in Chine; and as the policy of a reduction in the ten duties as bearing upon the revenus, the manufacturing, and the com? mercial interests, will probably be discussed next Session, it were advisable that the Canton Chamber of Commerce laid before Her Majesty's Minimere their views on a question which so deeply affect
them.
SECOND.-On the 23d of March, Lord Bandon moved that a Committee of the flouse be appointed to inquire into our commercial relations with China. The motion was carried, and on the report of the Committee the fate of the ten duties may in a degree depend. The Committen will, it is to ba presumed, take the evidence of some of the leading merchan engaged in the Chma trade, and as their inquiries will not be rowricted to trade as it refers to the export of the staple production, but extend to commerce with China in all its branches, much information will be clicited.

Indeed, soch vacillation and weakness is the trwa way to reader an expedition to Mexico necessary. For this a new General must be appointed, for General Taylor is evidently afraid of tarnishing the laurels already noquired by him. And great efforts must be made to raise the men and money required for so serious an undertaking.

tiROWTH OF THE LA-Pew taples connected with the progresira geogra phy of England are more luteresting than that which relates to the past and present 250 Upe: piculiste of the Isle of Thunet. It is unw scaronly & rivm peninsula: bat during the Roman notendaney is was a complete luland, at a sicqular form. At that porod. these on ita nouihwest side, between it and the mainland of Kent, was at least four miles broad, gradually doerscing av l. found through the strait, vill at Bar. when it was narrowest, its breadth did not probably szemed a mile and a half, Thus far flowed the Bouth, which there met the North seas the latter ostared at |what was,_from_this circumstance, called Narmatha, &. e. Northmouth. We have the explicit testlimany of Amunistus Marcellious to prote that the direct route and Arcustomed pamage to Londoo by sex, so late an th? middle of the fourth century, lay through this channel. In the time of Bede, however, ita breadth was conside rably diminished, for he tells m., that it was then but there furlongs wide, so the deffelent water. En continued, bewaver, a peable streit for ships of some (shallow that it was fordable in two places, and that it was thence called Wantrome,
burden till about the time of the Norman Conquest; when shie Inhabitants, per- | ceiving that the tide na kater flowed with any considerable rigour, began to erect slikes to keep it out a in which object, they were at length completely successful. | Thus, the lile of Thaust, which was formmarly separated from the rest of Kent, by | the channel called the Portus Bitopenals, and was, in its natural, state, all high land, is now a peninsula, or, at most, a river-isle only, hering the Stour-want some on the south, the Mille-stemain on the south-west, and the Nethergang, wantsoins on the west. The rest of the island fronts the East and North Sein, as before; Lat +1 figure is altered from that of a circle to an lizegular allipes After the junction - of the isle to Kent, the sea, no longer foiling a passage through the strais, began to throw up immense quantities of besch on the estiern shore; which produced Biomat, or rather Estevore dist la, the Bust-stone-share; this was origsually a separate island, but it was speuldy united by a couseway to the Isle of Thanet.—M'Gi'lock's | Daveriplies and Statistical Account of the British Empire.

This language is not to be misunderstood. It declares distinctly and emphatically that hag! the "reasonable demands" not not been com- plied with, Canton would have been laid in ruins, and its inhabitants slaughtered. It is the more necessary that this fact should be kept in view, as it is the standard by which Sir John Davis's future sentiments and measures requiro to be estimated.

W bare received the Timer of the 17th ukimo, from which we extract that portion of the market report that may affect commerce in this quarter. We hare ghacel at our papers (the file being incom- plete) and note nothing of political importance. - The vessels loading for China were the Forfarshire,
well as the rights of his sovereign in no ordinary degree. Justice demands that we admit this; though in our opinion the refsal to grant them would, in the eyes of "concessions" were very insignificant, and the God and man, have been no apology for the destruction of a sily belonging in a nation against which we had not made a declaration of war.
We dislike all temporising policy, and are satisfied that in this quarter it has come infinite deal of mischief. In the Chamber of Commerce there may be a few who are in clined to follow old istom, that is, to be guided by the wishes of one or two rich firms who have a local importance loyond what they are enti sled to. The time has gone past for sucli defes rence; and without encroaching one inch pen the privilege of opinion, which is the inheritance of every inan, be he rich or be
poor, the merchants as a body will act independently and effectively. Of this we feel armed, and votes are not weighed by aycee, the voiceof havo as much influence as that of the mermil every intelligent member of the Chamber will lionaire who can lay no claim to pubila spirit.

This was done in the case of New Zealand, and it is only reasonable that equal justice be done to Hongkong. The rosul of the investigation of Captain Fitzroy's mismanagement caused his imediate recall, and the appointment of a successor under whose away a bankrupt settle ment in rapidly being brought into a flourishing condition. It is to be remarked that when Governor Grey was appointed to South Australia, that colony was on the vorge of ruin; by adopting a liberal policy and calung into the Legislative Council Pome of the leading men of the place, in a few year be left it in prosperity. In New Zealand the same rosuks are exhibiting themselves, showing that much Iepends upon the character of the Governor and the policy be follows on. Captain Fitzroy was allowed by all parties to be a clover man and in pri- vate life in every respect estimable, but he was na fitted for the office he held. It is a mistake to be. lieve that any man of ordinary capacity is qualified for a Colonial Ruler, Brilliant talonte are not csential, but other casentials are too often overlook- ed in making appointments. This is clearly proved by the condition of the colonies-under the sway of one man they flourish—under that of another they fade.

The land tax of India has been the stumbling of all our Eastern legislators from the time of Hast ings down to the present day. The subject, think, was never understood fill the work of neral Briggs appeared in 1830, and although we de not intend to inflict an essay on our rosters, we must enter into it in order to show whether an

To go forward on the present plan. with the people every day becoming more and more dependent upon Government aid, is to hurry the country on to certain rula. To get back to a sound systems is a most difficult task, which, under the must favourable circumstances, can only be accoms- plished by time. But the plans an proposed to be adopted by the Government will only aggravate the dificulties. They appear to have been formed without any reference to the obvious cansen of the fallare of the system which is about to be abandon.lishmen can or cannot venture to proce
lodia to superintend cotton estates, as some of them od. The more we examine the correspondence are now doing those, whereupon they are growing which has been published, the mors it is apparent sugar and indigo with so much advantage. Geber that the failure of that system may be referred, first, Briggs observes to the convicton, on the part of ull classes, that s public provision was secured for them and so condly, by the disappointment in the expectation that the aid of the local landlords and people of property would have been secured in administering the public funds. But nothing has been proposed in the new plaas, now to be undertaken, for the parposo of remedying these obvious avile. On the contrary, a parliamentary vote hee secured to Ire land the expenditure of eight millions during the next sight inonths. The people of Ireland will henceforth consider that aues as much their own, and calculate upon ka receipt with es much certainty, if it were their own carefully-handed earnings. Bot the relief is now to be given in plain charity, nou no longer lu unproductive works.
But what guarantee is propose to be taken for the judicious expenditure of the money granted by Parliament Practically, none. It le true that it is proposed that the relief funds are only to be absolutely supplied by the Government to the extent of one-half, and that the other half is to be furnished by rate upon which they can obtain a absistence.

Eed have had a good guarantee for the co-operation there been no hopes held out of Government works, and aid of local parties to prevent abuses. But as it would be discuit tu esiluate the number of Irish it is, there is no such security. For, though local
This great object, which proved utterly impossi ble when the Government was relied upon for every thing, would have been dictated by private interests, and a sense of common danger; these would have put the whole machine of Irish society, from the "nobleman downward, into motion and regulation." Under these circumstances, every difficulty would have been more easily met, and every abuse more easily detected and suppressed It is better for all parties that this scrutiny should The really destitute would have been much fewer b: minile before a Commitee, as the truth will be in number, and their relief, through the means of elicited without a stormy debate of opposite parties, the workhouses, would have been more certain ; as We do not believe that Lord Urry has the slightest rates would not only hate been better enforced; desire to shield any Colonial Governor from the but more predently applied.

It is clear, therefore, we must not go to Medres and ad enterprising native merchant of Bombay, has been raiding for the last five or six years at to grow or purchase cotton.

It is in the same part of the country one of the government experimatial farme has been conducted under Dr Wright (a skilful botanist) for the last six years, and we have occa. sionally seen specimens of most desirable cotton, but we cannot get at the price. Dr Wright hopes to obtain a very large produse per acre, which will affect price considerally; but six years have past, and still hule has been effooted.
Again we introduce the remonstrance of the merchants of Bombay on the same subject:— The Bombay Chamber of Commerce to the Chief Secretary to Government.

ANECDOTE OF SYPRAY BUITE-As Canon Residan. try of St. Paul's the Using of Edmonton, a valuable and desirable benefico, became at his disposal. It had previously been held by Mr Tate better known as Tate of Richmond and the senior curate on the bce was the Reverend Thema Tate, the learned incumbent's son. Some short time after Canon 'Tate's demim, Mr Smith called on the bereaved family. The meeting was paloful; and the more because the visitor adverted, in feeling and appropriate terms, to the worth, both as a father and a friend, of him whose low they owe and all deplored. And the information i have to communicate," added Mr Bydney Smith, will. I fear, startle you-painfully, perhaps. The living le given away ""No," was the reply, we feel of sar pries at the circumstances it is a living of too much conseguenes long retrain Ticant."1 am glad," was the rejoluler, to host yen speak a calmly of a result that was inevitable. For ourselves," was the answer, ** we had no hope. The income of the bene dce, the interest that would be made for it, the personal claims upon individual members of the Chapter which such a prise was sure to bring forward; all those forbade *urcherishing the slighest hops on the subject." "Well," eriod Sydney Smith, the appointment has been made; and 1 believe it to be a good one."-" No doubs of it," was the sequimcent remark; "the character of the patron guarantee it." "It is given," continued the Camoo quietly, "to gontleman whose surname is the same as that of the last incumbeat-Tate; and he la sald to be at this moment staying somewhere in the neighbourhood of London. An immaterial point to "won the reply. · He can do no relative of onto -ww know nothing about him-nothing save this, that he is a fortunate man." "And curious enough," co- tinued the dignitary, with anrufed gravity, "bla Christian name it Thomas. We have no knowledge of him," was the reply, one whatever-nor be, of course, of us" "Birange, indeed, considering you are the party!" ried Sydney Smith, with a humorous but most benevolent smile, "You," glancing at the son of his old friend," you are the man-you, and no other -the Vicar of Edmouton!" Which was the happiest of the embled group ?-lhe parts who so unexpeo tally received valuabin a broefice, or the gamorous bestred man who so delicately bestowed it-- grience of a Gasi Chaplain.

Twe resalt of Captain Larkins's case is not quite what we anticipated. The Jury found him guilty of carrying letters in contravention of an Act of Parliament and fined him ?100; recommending a remission of the fine on the grounds that Captain Larkins was rendering a public service, and that he should have been checked at an early period, bolore laying him self open to penalties of upwards of ?6000.
Mr Campbell,in opening the caso, admitted that the Corsair was doing what the Post-office could not do, and stated that had Captain Larkins in the first place acknowledged his liability for the full amount of the penalties, and then petition. all for a remission, he (the acting Attorney-Ge nerai) would have added his weight to the prayer of the petition. Captain Larkins choose another course, and he will scarcely regret it, though we are satisfied that had his case been properly managed complete acquital would have been awarded.

But in June
In a previous paper we stated our conviction that Bic John Davis was attempting to slip not of the long dilemma, by drawing from the Chain- ber of Commerce some admission or advice of which he will take advantage. Bir John will not give up Honan, and be will not take pos- sossion of it by a military force. In April he was loss scrupulous; the destruction of Canton being the threat under which it was obtained. conscienos is tender, and he hesitates to claim that to which he now has a tillo. Ele has brought down his bied, and is afraid to bag it, feeling himself very much in the position of a poacher with the keeper's eyo upon him. The Chamber of Commerce ap pear to be aware of His Excellency's policy and while they receive his communications courteously, they will not commit themselves by giving Abrics thoir OPINION as to the Honan It is supposed by many, that while the Mandarins grant is on reened, and it is for Sir John Davis declare their inability to protect us, they are quietly to consider whether he wonk? be justified in gestifying their own feelings of hatred by covertly taking forcible possession of the grant he ob- encouraging the mob in their apposition!

In the fourth paragraph we read that, "the building land to which wo are en- titled by treaty, and which has never yet been gained at Canton since the treaty was signed, inust of course be obtained, and either Honan or some other equally eligible site or sites se cured." Good God, Sir John, havo you for gelten your April rail? Have you lost sight of the new agreement ?" Have all the boasted "concessions passed away like a dream? Pray, refresh your memory with a perusal of your Notification dated Canton, 8th April, 1847.
His Excellency observes, "that her Majesty's Government will see the necessity of aserting against the Chinese Government the, treaty rights of British subjects in Canton in regard the acquisition of adequate sites for dwellings or warehouses" Precisely; her Majesty's govern ment will have to do what Sir John Davis could not do what he had no authority even to attempt and her Majesty's exchequer, and the blood of her Majesty's loyal subjects, will pay penalty for the follies of April.
We might have unagised that a long residence among them would have taught flis Excellency the futility of attempting to conciliate to Canton people: but we never hear of his having any communes tion with the Mandarins without coming off secum best. Gradule and mercy are virtues they neither possess nor understand; end forbentamer they con- true into timidity By far alone can they be era trand and held in subjection. Never make a de- mail unless you are cutiiod to what you ask for, but at every risk, insist upon their compliance.
Giving Sir J. Davis credit for every good inton tion in avoiding bloodshed by a generous forbear. ance in postponing the entrance to the city for two years; we cannot help qucationing the propriety of the step, because it is misinterpreted, we know what we cau accomplish; they are too much wrapped up in their own empty self esteem to beliere in much less to recognize, our alledged superiority, without experiencing it. It is the opinion of most residents in Canton, that until the mob do receive a astuury lesson at the hands of the British forces, the com annity will never enjoy wcurity. Though it may serve the purpose of the Government print to aug. gest that those who entertain these opinions are thirsting for the blood of their fellow creatures for the sake of their own pockets, it will not delay the no- cemity that must shonly occur for a second expedi tion to Canton, mote sanguionry in ita results than the last one. Perhaps those who deches that strong mores are requisite, may deplore their necessity mory sincerely thou those who profess to ratsrtain so righroous a horror of them; at the same time they cannot sathir eyes to the certainty of their being required
Fooner or later suele measures will be unavoid able; and Sir John Davis may rest assured that, when they do occur, the consequences will be all the bloolier for his present vacillating policy and misplaced leniency-1 am, doar Bir, vary traly yours,

BRITION CONSUlate, Canton,
To secure a verdict the acting Attorney-Ge seral required to prove
1st, That there is a Post-office communica.
between this and Canton 2nd, That the Corsair carried a mail every week; it being so libelled in the indictment.
In support of the first point, we have the ovi dence of Me Thomas Hyland, the Post-Master. That Gentleman on oath declares, that he has a deputy at the Consulate in Canton and a daily line of communication. This was established before his arrival, but he did not say on whoan authority. The Post-Master General, or the Governor in Council, have power to establish local Post-office; but they have not done, and any regulations made by Me Hyland or his predecessors, are valueless. In the early days of the colony, before the Post-Master General had an assistant in this quarter, certain arrange ments were made for the eunvenience of the public, and among others the transmission of letters to the Consular ports. It was not, how. ever, obligatory on the public to forward their letters through the Post-office, and as refers to Canton this was never done, expedition being of importance, and the Post-office having no con- Mr Spring voyance except the passage-buals. held the appointment of Post-Master at that time, and he stated in court, that letters for Canton sent to the Post-office were forwarded by the common fast-boats, the boatmen being allowed to charge the customary twenty-five cents for each letter. Mr Spring was succeed. od by Me Scales, when an attempt was made to extort postages an newspapers to and from British colonies, which, with other extortions, were checked by Sir Henry Pottinger. Mr Scales died; mo mail route baving been es tablished between Hongkong and Cantou in his day. He was succeeded by Mr Spring, who in his turn was superseded by Me Hyland A mail route to Canton was not established during Mr Spring's second tenure of office, though Mr Hyland swears, that when he assumed the duties of Post-Master, he found communication with Canton established. This was simply the old regulation of Sir Henry Pottinger; stray letters sent to the Post-office were forwarded by the passage boats, or to the Consulate, where they lay until called for. Captain Larkins did not attempt to refute Mr Hyland's bold assertion, which he might have done with the greatest ease, and the Court assumed that it was correct
We would put a few queries to Me Hyland, which it is to be regretted ware not put so him in the witness box.
1st, When, and under what authority was the communication between Canton and Hong. kong established?
2nd, Have you a line of boats running to and from Cantou, and at what expense

If Mr Hyland will answer these interroga. tories to the satisfaction of the public, showing that the Post-office can serve as the modium of communication with Canton, then he will have the honour of forwarding and levying tour pence on every local letter that passes between the two places.
The second point for Mr scting Attorney- General Campbell to prove, was the employ. ment of the Corsair in carrying lotters for any one week, the indictment reading so many weeks (69 we believo) at ?100 a-weck. Mr Camp bell appeared to have overlooked this until re
Lord Chief Justice, and minded of it by then it was too late to correct the blunder. In summing up His Lordship brought the omis sion before the jury, and it is singular that in the absence of any evidence to prove the act, their

Prosecutions of this nature are usually rais ed at the instance of a common informer. The power is however vested in the public prose cutor to sue in the name of the Queen, when an informer is not to be had; and that power in ozercised according to the judgment of the Law Officer. The prosecutors in the present instance have coposed themselves to the public interest. Mr Campbell admits that the Coramir is employed win advantage to the community who charter her for carrying letters to and from Canton. Mr Hyland says that since March last there has been a great inomase of postages; previous to that date the postage ac count was about ?30, but whether for a month or a year doth not appear. Mr Hyland might have explained the increase had it suited his purpose. Bice March, a portion of the monthly over- lund papers have been mailed and pre-paid at the Consulate. This gives an addition to the Canton account it is true, but nue of the Post-office, as the same letters would have been mailed bore. It is simply ting out of one parket to put into the other,

It was stated by the acting Attorney-General, and alan by the Post-master, that 2d, in th highest eum ever paid by the Post-office fr conveyance of a letter; and the former gentle men added, that the Peninsular and Oriental Company got on more. Mr Campbell for- gots that the P. & O. Company have a yearly allowance of ?150,000 from the Briti vernment; the West India Bwam Navigatio Company has ?240,000, and the flatifing an Boston lino of steamers ?90,000. We give the quotations from memory; we believe they are correct, but at all events they exahlish the fact that, the British Governinant supports steam communication at an enorinnus expense. The mercantile community in China have taken this binden upon themselves, and an interference with their private arrangonews appears illiberal in the extreme.
It cannot be the intention of Her Majesty's Government that obstacles should be thrown in the way of commerce; and we apprehend that a memorial to the Post-master General, showing that
present the Post-office cannot sorve the public in the conveyance of letters to and froin Canton, and the great expense merchants are put to in supporting private com voyances, will lead, either to the establishment of a branch office at Canton, with a line of post-boats, or to instructions being sent to the Post-master not to interfere with those who avail themselves of the only safe and expeditious medium for transmitting letters,
WHY DOES NOT INDIA SUPPLY US
WITH COTTON? No. IV.
(From the Economist, March 8.) We have shown that India is expable of growing an ample supply of the material we want, whether it be the indigenous cotion alther of the old or of the Dow world. It is true these varieties require dif ferent soils, but there is abundance of all sails re quisite for each.
We have shown how the leader has hitherto impeded the profitable extension of ite colture. We had no intention of prolonging our remarks on that topic, hat we are ind to do so from having obtained access to a paper by Dr Giben (a Government officer, on the spot), who defende the land-tax, in Gazer, from the imputation of being heavy burthen. This paper is review o a letter written by the Chamber of Commerce of Bombay, to that Government, on cotton coldration and commerce. The author is, we believe, one the most respectable and talented servants of the Government in his department. He has long been it is said, employed in making statistical reports which we can cally images, from the whole teas

They have been urged upon him, through a vexatious procrastination of un answer to a simple suggestion made by the former French Naval Commander-in-Chief, to the effect that the king of Corbin China would permit reli. gious talerutina in bis country, as the Emperor of China hed.

A similar cause prevails in the Nizam's country, and enables it to grow antion and send it into and through our own cotton land districts; for not with standing that the Nizam's government has lang been notorious for its oppression and want of pro section, yet the landholders and the village com munity succeed in concealing from the revende collectors so large an extent of the land they hold, that, though they pay heavily for what is brought s the books, the whole amonat paid is in reality less per acre than in the British districts, where rast expense is incorred to survey and asses, where such means of evasion cannot be easily practised.

A Peer at Lagogy—A rome French traveller describes Labors, of which we have recently board an mach, an bring surrounded by high walls and defended by lowers and ravines, and gives a graphic pleture of ito sanatory state and condition. He says, when seen from a distance, no ides can be formed of the spectacle It presents within. Its present misery is so great past splendour. It is nothing bata mom of tuina
everywhere Itu poble manalone sermo rady to fill to the ground. To adventure on fast through the ineziri. cable mase of torznons, infections, dark streets forming the town, obstructed as they are, too, by reimi, and Billed with elephants, borses and men, is almost impos sible for a stranger. The streets ary so narrow that in many you may touch both sides 24 you pas. The bouses, constructed of brick, are so high, so overladen with balconies and occupiers, and in such a state of dilapidation, that a blow would seem sullcient to over- turn them, as it would the triumphal gates, under which you pass in going from one quarter of the elty | R. J. Farbridge & Co. Diamond MJ to another." "To sum up all, the ground, which has unter been paved, la a mere open sewer, as horrible to see as to bear; and is pierced bere and there by deep betes, which notwithstanding all the adders which is displayed to avoid them, often cause the elephants dangerous falls. We should be glad to obtain the correct average duration of human life in this reaking cesspeol, for the advantage of the sanatory agitation now going sa in England —The Builder.

A Female Firud-Being left a young widow, she marries a man who soon became devotedly attached to b'a little stepson, so much was he taken with the child's depallen and the general excellence that distinguished him, although only ten years of age. The mother, with a mixture of natural levity and ungovernable passions. began to nourish guilty fucklostions towarda'a Perugian clues whom she was determined to obtain for a husband, and not only give him her own simple fortune, bai that of her child also, which was still mere considerable. Distracted by the violence of this passion, she conspired with her parament to murder both bus band and son, and a night was settled in which he was 10 strapple the latter while she administered poison ta the former. When all was ready, this Impious was ordered the boy to carry certain ortleles in her lover's dwelling, and bot to quit the place until the letter should "despatch him. He tripped along cheerfully with his erranit, delivered the things, and then play. fully asked to be despatched. The young trap al softened by ible artless confidence, and swildesly struck with remorse, sald. In a compassionate tone, Go back to thy mother, boy, for this in not the time to do what she requires." This woman surprised and alarmed at ber son's return, demanded. In a hurried voice, why he bad not been despatched. On bearing the expressions of her faltering accomplice, she instantly remanded the child, with peremptory InJunctious not to return until be should be really depetebel on the preconcerted bine Anglous to please bar, cha pore boy retraced his steps, and with affentionate eagerness entreated ber companion to do what she so mach desired, but be. still more moved, burst into tears and repljail, *Tell thy mother, child, that this businam must wat be con- Gided to me, for I will not do it." The child once more returned with this message; upon which the Implan ble monster ordered him down into the cellar, and instantly following, exclaimed, so if addressing ber- self, That which he has frered to slo 1 will myself accomplish. Then with a detertoinal hamil rhe coolly drew a knife across L?r little victim's throst. and leaving him dead on the patement walked quietly to her chamber Boon after this her husband returord. and, as was his custom, immediately asked after the boy, to which the murderes with a cabo tongue and the guile of a serpent replied, "Thou knowesi well | But go down to the celler, and peradventure thou shalt Bud him. Alarmed at her manner, be bastonai duwn, and at sight of the child's bloody corpse, gasped a mo. ment for breath and then fell senseless. The temi, who had cloedly followed, instantly locked him in with the body, and then with dietrveted screams and shrieks of murder the house wat s??n filed by a crowd of terri?ed neighbours, to whom she declared that ber basband bad killed the child for his foheritance.

While preperations
were making for his execution, the wife's paramour, overcome by reverse and compassion, and after wipn. Lacing for his purdon, discovered the truth, and related every circumstamos of his aws conduct. The mistre ble woman then made a minute and elreumatantial confession without t?rtare, sad was condemned in have part of her flesh pulled away by red-bot placers and the remainder sliced off piece after place with sharp resors, until she expired in agonies--a terrible example

A Puer at Lamonk—A esort French traveller describes Lahore, of which we have recently heard on mach, sa belag surrounded by high walls and defended by towers and ravines, and gires ? graphio pieture of ?ta sanatory state and condition. He says, when sem from a distance, no idea can be formed of the spectacle It presents within. Its present misery is as great as it past splendour. It la nathing bata mam of zulmuy avery?bere la noble mansions seem ready to fall to the ground. To adventure on foot through the largiri. cable mase of tortuous, infectious, dark streets forming the town, obstructed as they are, too, by mins, and filed with elephants, horses and men, is almost impor sible for a stranger. The streets are so narrow that in miny you may wouch both sides is you pan. The houses, constructed of brick, are so high, so overladen with balconies and scruplers, and in soch a state of dilapidation, that a blow would seem suficient to over- turn them, as it would the triumphal gates, under which you pam in going from ans quarter of the city to another.” To sum up all, the ground, which has never been pared, la a mere open sewer, as horrible in ace in to bear; and is pierced here and there by deep boles, which notwithstanding all the address which l
lisplayed to avold been often cause the elephants dar gerese falls. We should be glad to obtain the evernet average duration of human life in this reeking espool, for the advantage of the sanatory agitation bow going na in England —The Builder.

A Female Finno-Being left a young widow, she married a man who soon became devotedly attached to his little stepast, so much was he taken with the child's diaposlion and the general excellence that distinguished him, although only ten years of age. The mother, with ? mixture of natural levity and ungovernable passione, began to nourish guilty fuelinations towards a young Perugino elder whom she was determined to obtulo for a husband, and not only give him her own ample fortune, bai that of her child almo, which was still more considerable. Distracted by the violence of this passion she conspired with her paramour to murder both hus- band and son, and a night was settled in which be was 10 strangle the latter while she administered poison to the former. When all was yearly, this impious wor ordered the boy to carry certain articles to her lover's dwelling, and bot to quit the plare will the latter abould "despatch him. Ife tripped along cheerfully with his errand, delivered the things, and then play fully naked to be despatched. The young man at o sofianel by this artless confidence, and suddenly struck with remorse, said, in a compassionate tone, "Oo beck to thy mother, boy, for this is not the time in de what she requires. The woman surpeland and alarmed at beron'a return, demanded in a hurried voice, why he had not been despatebal. On baring the expressions of her faltering accomplice, she instantly remanded the child, with peremptory injunctions not to return until be should be really despatched on the preconcertad bunden Anxinus to please her, the poor boy retraced bla steps, and with affectionate engernese entranted her emplo to do what she so much desired, but be, still more moved, burst loto tears and repl?ait, “Tai thy moiber, child, that this business ander nios de com- fided to me, for I will not do it.

A l?rte from Mr Consul Macgregor to the Chairman of the Canton Chamber of Com- merce appeared in our last issue; we subjoin the reply, which did not come to hand until after we bad gone to press on Saturday morn- ing.
The tenor of the Chairman's letter, and its exlin and dignified tone, recommend it to un- blamed minds, Mr Jardine says truly," the British community to expressing their opinion that it (the Honan grant) should be enforced, did not presume to suggest to His Excellency the means by which moli an important objecti should be carried out." These ar precisely the sentiments which prudence would dictate. We may it with regret, but with all sincerity, that the Canton community cannot givo their cordial co-operation to any of Sir John Davis's measures. His Excellency, on his arrival in Chinn, agrumed a hostile attitude towards hia countrymen, which nas in no degree been sub- doed by recen) ovents. We sce in the Con- sul's letter of the 31st May how anxious Hie Excellency is to distort an expression in one of resolutions of the Chamber of Com. merce. In our humble opinion, the Chamber, wlulu it receives official letters with all cour tesy, should, as much as possible, limit the replies 10 a simple yen, yon, or nay, nay.
We are astified that Sir John Davis has determined to allow the Honan grant to re- main in its present position until he receives instructions from home-probably not before October. If such is the case it is difficult to account for the repeated applications to the Chamber of Commerce, and the evident desire to enter into a controversy, Sir John fighting under the shield of Mr Macgregor. His Ex- cellency attempts to show that iba stagnation of trade is caused by Chinese failures and ge- neral overtreding; this is meant to disprove tha undeniable fact, that the political movement in April has unsettled commerce for a time. Nimilar causes would produce a similar effect in any country, The very alarm of an inva sion would throw the minnetary system of England into confusion; merchants would not have the usual facilities for discount or advances on certificates of produce in bond. The con- sequence would be a sacrifice of property to indet urgent claims, bankruptcy and ruin being the natural sequent. The withdrawal of spo cie from Canton and closing the banking houses leprives the Chiocso dos!er of his customary financial facilities—his affairs are thrown into confusion-confidence is lost-credit conses- and the foreign trade is at ? stand. This can be traced clearly to political causes for which Sir John Davis is solely and individually re- sponsible. The vindication will mako a? im. pression upon those to whom it is directed, nor was this expected; it in to all likelihood a more reiteration of statements that went home by the last nail. Wero Bir Jolin Davis to declar? that he was prepared to take all the responsi bility of his invasion and the results thereof upon himsell, even his victims could adenire the spirit of the man though they disapproved of the acts of the politician, but it is not dir John Davis's patur? to be open and sincere- This mind and his policy are alike tortuous. This is an infirmity of nature not to be over. come, but it is a misfortune to a person in a prominent public position.
Canton, 28 June, 1847.
P. C. MACORRoom, Esq. ft. B. M. Coment. Si, I have had the honour to receive your Jetter of the 31 ult, acknowledging receipt of the resolutions pasand at a general meeting of the Bri- fish community on the 26th of May, and acquaint- ing me, for the information of the Committee of the Chauber of Commerce, that you had osmimad them to His Excellency Sir J. Davis, who, in ac knowledging receipt of the same, "observes the expressed opinion, that unless a more desirable site can be obtained your possession of the land should at once be enforced; but His Excellency does not clearly understand how it can be at once 'enforced' in any other way than by military force, or occupied except in the same manner." As the point is involved in the 4th article of the now agreement entered into by Her Majesty's Plenipotentiary on the part of Great Britain, and the Imperial Commissioner on the part of China, the British community, in ex pressing their opinion that it should be enforced, dil not presume to suggest to His Excellancy the meant by which such an important object should be carried out. In reference to that part of your letter in which His Excellency attributes the pre- sent stagnation of trade to the recent failures, the Committee beg to observe, that they are only the natural effect of that alarm and want of confidence. aud consequent withdrawal of capital required for
SUPREME COURT OF HONGKONG, Snd June, 1847.

-
THE QUEEN. Lanking. This trial which for some time past has engage The attention of the public, came off on Wednesday kt.
A plea of not guilty having been entered and the issue Joined, a Jury was chosen and the Attorney-Gen- eral opened the proceedings, explaining the change against Captain Larkins. This was an oficio In formation and contained two counts; first, that the defendant after 10th February, 1846, and for one year, or a space of 59 weeks was in the habit of carrying letters
exempted from the exclusive privilegu of the Post-master General, thereby making himself liable for the penalty of ?100 for each week; the second was of a similar nature and rendered bim bable to a similar penalty,--that he took up, collect. od, recived, and conveyed letters for the period of twelve months. The frut la for conraying latters;— to substantiate this it must be proved that he carried letters for a year, or for whatever part of it the aridence will bear out. The second is for despatching, deliver. ing, fcc., letters; to prove this it is not necessary that the letters should hire heen collected or conveyed by Captain Larkins himself; it be enough that it had been done by his servants ar agunta. ?n the commance- ment of 1945, a communication was made to Captain Larkins with the very liberal offer of two pance for every letter or parcel which he should carry, and he was not called on to deliver them. At this period he knew there was a Post-offes, and that he wit 1 ing the laws, though it might be for the convenienc of the public. When this communication was made In him, a copy of the Post-office lawa was put into his hands. The Peninsular and Oriental Company receive only two pence for carrying lettere from Eng bul. Cantain Larkins returned no writion answer to this offer, but continued the penities of carrying letters, an-l circulated an agreement, which wil be put in evidence, for carrying letters, not a mail. Cir. culars have gone round, and been pot up in the Club- house fixing when the steamer would leave, and stal- ing that lettern would be received to a certain tim. This has been altered to parcels, but is does not mat- ter whether these latters go in pare:la or otherwise. It may be said that these were consignees letters, but these can only be sent with gooda. Besides be has receive payment for those letters, while consign-
' letters are never paid for; and it lies with hire to prove that they were consigness' letters. In a letter from Mr. Matheson, he says the public totho rities knew of it; but if mada sensible of any irregu- larity in the Post-office, he would file an information against the Post-master himself. If Captain Larkins had come to him, he would have nazisted him to draw up an application to Her Majesty, because it is not to be denied that it has been a grand convenienos to the public.
Mr. Fila Stubbe has superintended Capt. Larkins' books relating to the Corsair since January last. Mr. Franklyn & Milna did so before. Elle la i the habit of sending circulars announcing the depar ture of the Corsair—has unt ons with him.—By Mr. Gaskell. These are not kis property, ?ar beloar sa Captain Larkins.—The tenor was that the Corsair would start at a certain time and receive letters for the place she was bound to. This was afterwa?da altered to parcels, in March last, by order of Capt, Larking. He has received letters from the community general- ly, and delivered them to Mr. Strang who'l purser of the Corsair, to be taken to Cant?n. They were given every voyage. Payments was made for them by monthly subscriptions, which were made for con- veying latter to Chaton and back. He never receiv ed any letters from Canton. He did not collect the subscriptions. The Comprador did so
Captain
Larkins. There were goods with some of the letters,
be brought letters every voyage-Cross examined by Mr. Gaskell,—He has ?mal letters to the Post- olice which were not marked "consignees' letter" and they were refused—this was about five weeks ago. Some were sent to the Consul at Canton and rad. This was some few months ago. — By the Attorney General, — He thinks he has seen the paper before that is now shown him—it is go agreement for carrying the overland maila, and the subscriptions of the parties-known their writing.— The paper we read-several of the subscriptione bore the condition that the steamer should not make lese than three trips in the fortnight, witness did not end- lect any of the money subscribed.-By Mr. Gaskell, -The signature of the agent for the Corsair is not attached to the paper. The steamer was at one tima s laid up for three wecka-thinks she has born off about three months altogether-thaka she never made shree trips to Canton in a fortpight—she may have done it, but it has been very seldom. She has waited sa much as nine days for the overland steamer.
Mr. Pranklyn' in a commission agent in Hong- kong, and was agent for the Corsair from February 1940, to December last. He has seen the agreement before and believes he knows several of the signs. tures. He does not know whether the subscriptions were received, because he did not keep the accounts. He objects to produce kis byoka sa the business is mired up with his own.
Mr. Gaskell contended that he could not be made to produce the books. The Chief Justice azid, they were Captain Larkins' books, and be could not be called on to criminate himself.
Witness known that letters have been brought to his office but they were taken by his clock and no list of them was kept. They were brought by the purser, often at a very late hour, and sept out by wit. nas's Colles immediately. He does not know if they were consignees' letters. He has receiv od some himself which were not cousigunes'—ia not aware that they passed through the Port-office. The steamer went two or three times a month, or fortnight, but he cannot spak certainly—ia not certain if she took letters every time—generally speaking sho did. Mr. Tulloch was clerk for that particular purpose he has left China. He bolievan subscriptions were received for the steamer, bai not for postage for in- dividual letters. Some of the subscriptions ware padd and some not. There were some disagreements. Wit nese merely go by what was told him by the cash keeper and Capt. Larkins He did not know it hintself,
“Mr. Hyland is Post-master, and was so in 1840. A post was stablished to Canton before he came. There l? a person at the Consulate especially charged with that business there; Mr. Oakley is so at present, bai witness does not know how long ba h?n 6aen_so-40 the best of his belief it is about a twelve-month. He is in the habit of making up toails for Canton, and the postages are periodically accounted for. Wit?ans nev- er refused to take in letters. The post goes every erning when there is a fast boat. The principal let- tare bafers March was the Government despatches; since that time there has been a considerable inerente. --It has been in the ratio of a farthing to one hundred pounds-Witness wrote a letter to Captain Larkins, of which he has a copy; it was returned to him and has been lost-is sure this is a correct copy.-The copy was read.

Cross-conmined by Mr. Gaskell—He does not know that the letters were taken to Canton. He made out the bills for collecting the subscriptions. Ho received money for other things besides carrying let- tern-gara leiters to Mr. Strang such time the sise- er went to Canton. This was not each week. By the Attorney-General. He le still book-keeper, but the books are not in his custody; they belong to Captain Larkins who has the key.” He had a lin? by which the unhecriptions are collected—balleros Cap- tain Larkins has it. It is like the one produced-saw it last about six weeks ago but does not know who wrote it. The names are in different handa ; they ar siguntures. He thinks there was some other writing, but does not recollect what it was.
By Mr. Gaskell.—The steamer has been ten days waiting for the mails. She has ham slag under repairs but he does not recollect how long-thinks it was less than tix weeks—st one time abe was about a fort- night at other times a week. She has also been on the West Court for 7 or 8 days at a time. Nearly all the subscriptions were received in Canton.
Mr. Berang has been purer of the Corsair since about February last year--does not know who is the owner la employed by Captain Larkins and has to account to him. He has been absent thros voyag --two of these were to the West Coast, and the other last month-does not know how many voyages she has marle-sometimes she went on a week and sometimes once a fortnight to Canton, Macao, or Cusingmoon. He keeps accounts but they belong to Captain Larkins. He has received consignees letters--will swear to that in general—is not aware whether there were also subscribers' letters. The Corsair Derer carried Merchandise she carried trean- are and small parcels. Els cannot say all the letters came from the owners of treasure or drug. They brought goods from Canton to Hongkong voyage. It has received letters from a Fits Stebb which be knew to be consignees' letters. Ele knows they were so because he h: sigded bills of lading and seen them enclosed in the lesera. Ha received one frain Mr. Parker, which he knew was not a consign- e's letter, but does not know of any other-will not wear they were all consignees' letters, and will not swear they were not. He knows the writing of Captain Boumen, and believe the paper produced has his signature. It is a receipt for a Mail, and is dated the 15th February.
The Attorney General remarked-this shows he knew there was a post between thie and Canton. The Chief Justice remarked, it rather showed there whe no port, or the mail would not be pot on board the Corsair. The Attorney-General aid she was com pelled to carry a mail if required, the same as any other vessel. The Judge looking at the paper, mod the word Post-master is craped from the address and Coneul written in its stead. The witnews thinka
Cross-examined.—Pho post in Canton was establish- ed by the local authorities—the letters are sent by fast bost.—He does not keep a boat. This was establlabod before witness came.—Bs has not a copy of the noti Mention here—dow not know how long these boats take to reach Canton. He has wont letters by the Corsair, but not above six times—be they made up a mail. He has cautioned Captain Soames that he was Hable to be fined. He has written home recommend- ing the Corsair to be
in the highest paid to all parts of the world.—Captain Larkins did not refuse to take the letters, but pull he would not deliver them Mr. Matheson objected to give his evidence an it might criminate himself—be had received a release from the Attorney General after coming into Court, but was told that though it protected him against the Crown, it was no protection against a common informa er. The Attorney General hold that a release from the Crown was sufficians against all parties.—Mr. Gaskell read a portion of the statute to the effect that any one might lodge information. The Chief Justice supported thin view of the case, and said the Crown might relenne so far an concermad kaelf, but that any person eviminat ing himself would be liable to be sued by a commen is former?n a qui-tam action, as the Crown could not re lease the informer's share of the penalty. The Attorney- General begged his Lordship to note this point, which he wished to be reserved.—? letter from Mr. Matheson was produced which he acknowledged, but stated he considered it private and objected to its being read. The Chief Josice said it must rest with the Attorney- General to decide whether he would have it read, after being told it was meant to be private. It was read, and his Lordship aid it had no bearing upon the case. Mr. Matheson begged he might be allowed to state to the Court, that though the prosecution was directed pe minally against Capt. Larkins it was in reality against the merchants in China. The Post-office did not meet their wants. They had been at great expense to meet their own pecansition, and now wwe to be prevented from doing so. The Chief Justice ould it might be a great hardship but he could not alter the law.
Mr. Angier in acting cashier in the Oriental Bank
He knows that letters have been set to Canton from the Bank by the Corgeir, but only along with treure. They were not paid for-witness has paid a subscrips tion to the Corsair from the Bank, but does not remember the words of the order.

Mr. sakell then closed his address telling the jury that the ware the best judges of the value of the en
dence go, concluding that nothing had been proved against the Defendant. That the principal portion of the evidence was hearsay and which could not be legally taken to account by them, and that his Lord- ship would direct them on that point much better than be possibly could do.-He left the case in their banda, unhasitatingly and felt convinced that the De fendant would be entitled to their verdict,
The Judge in enmming up aid the first point to be decided was whether or not a post was established between this and Canton-if so, the case came with the statute. The next point was whether Captala Larkins has infringed on the privileges of that fol office, if arinting. The evidence of Mr. Hyland be thought might be considered to set the first point t rest. It was for the Jury to decide on the other and also how often a breach of the law has taken place, if at all. You are left in the dark an to dates and it must have been continued for a week to justify the infliction of a penalty. If the vessel has bem ? whole week waiting for Setters she may be considere to have been for that work engaged in breaking the act, but a single net for one day was not woficient. -- His Lordship then read over the evidence.
The Jury wired for a shout the to consak. Og returning to the Court the foreman said they had agreed on a verdict of guilty, but stated they had very great difficulty in fixing the number of times.--The Chief Justice obearred" I do not wonder at it.” The Foreman said they had found three instances proved but as the dates were not specifled they had no proud that all three were not in the same week. They there fore gure Captain Larkine the beneft of the doubt and found a verdict for one week ?100, The fore man farther observed that they considered the autho- rities had acted very improperly in allowing the prar- ties to go on so long unchecked: and requested that A representation might be made to His Excellency for a remission or mitigation of the penalty.
The Attorney-General said he should represent this recommandation to the Governor. He had been only short time here and took up the case as soon as he could get information.

Larinni on Manque.—In 1994 we send: A very remarkable alreamstance occurred in this year, wisich is particularly deserving of attention, na ?t la supposed to be the frat fnstance of the grant, of what are called Letters at Marque and Reprisals." Bernard D)'Ongrossiil, a merchant of Bayonne, then part of the dom called the St. Mary, laden with almonds, raisins, and figs, which smal, while un nions of the King of England, was the owner of a ship bolonging to that place. her passage from Darbary to England, was deren by stres of wasther into Lagos, in Portugal. When at eveber, some armed Portuguese-sons of perdition"-came from Lisbon, boarded the val, robbed D'Ongressill and the crew, sad took the ship and cargo to th?i city. The King of Portugal haring received one-tenth part of the spoil the remainder was divided among the robbers. By this proceeding D'Ongressill_said he had lost 2700, and be prayed Sir John of Brittany, then Hentenst of Chespony, to grant him lettore of marque ; Hierally + leanas of roarking the men and subjects of the kl?gdom of Portugul, and especially these of Ledebou, | Bethoven, barqno and their gomis, by land and sea, until he had obtained compensation. The King's | Jahn Christian, barque lientenant strordingly, in June 1995, granted D'Cugremill, bis balra, successors, Mary Ann Wason, sch, and descendants, authority for five years 'ta matk, retain, sod appropriate the Sobreos, people of Portugal, and especially those of Lisbon, and their goods, wheresoever they Torrington, schimmer night be found, mutil he had obtained satisfaction. This license was confirmed by the King on the 3rd of October, but with the condition that it should case a BOOK relution had been made; and that if D'Chegressill took more than be had lost, he should wer for the surplus."--Sir H. Nioslar's History of the Rayal Navy
A Blava's Pomunarkt.—Eats in the fall of the year, a young man who had lately attempted to make his scapo several times, was missing from his task. It was four days before we found him. The dogs drove him at last up a tree, where he was caught and brought home. He was then fratsuad down to the ground by means of forked pieces of wood selected for the purpose. The overseer then sent for two cats belonging to the house. Then he placed upon the naked shoulders of bis victims and dragged them suddenly by their tails dowawards At Best they did not scratch deep enough to salafy his vengeance, so be ordered me to strike them with a stick, willst he again placed them on the back of the sufferer. I did so, ant the enraged animals extended their claws, and tore his back deeply as they were forelbly pulled over it. He was then whipped, and placed in the stocks, where he was kept three days. On the third morning, as I passed the stocks, 1 stapped to look at him. lis head hung down over the chain which supported bla neck. I| spoke, but he did answer. He was dead in the stocka! The overvoer avemed surprised when I told blm, and I fancied be felt some remorse. Four of the dold bawla khed, blin out of the stocks and burled him, and everything went on se usual,—Nerratino of James Williema.

The results of the late trial led to the corespond ence we introduce. It is desirable that the Acting Deputy Post-master in Canton furnish the public with ample information as to his rates of postage, cunveyance, &c.; and it is reasonable that this ?hould be demanded of him. We do not blame Mr Oakley for refusing this information, simply because he is not in possession of it. Notwithstanding Me Hyland's bold assertion, it is clear that he has no Deputy here, the services of the gentlemen of the Consular establishment being purely acts of courtesy. Me Oakley says truly,-'I am not on the Post office establishment, and consequently cannot be The purchase of six houses in flog Lane, and the answerable for any delay that may occur, delivery consequent coppage of the thoroughfare betwoon the of lettere not forming a part of Commular duty" two gardens attached to the old and new factories is Wo adimit the truth of this, attaching to blame to arranged to the satisfaction of abo residen.

I drawing attention to the following correspond- race, we would remind the public that in his ave. dence on the late trial of Capt Larkins, Mr Elyland declared that when he took charge of the Post-office, he found a regular mail communication with Canton established, and that Mr Horace Oakley, of the British Consulate, was now Orficiating Deputy Peal-nasier.
This information was new; and to tam the facili- lies for correspondence afforded by the Post office, duplicates of letters accompanying musters sent by private bouts were put in the Floogkong PLA office. These duplicates reached the parties whose address they bore in from four to five days after the originals, being of course valueless. Thas had proof been required to show that for business letters the Post-office cannot serve the public, it would be discoverable in the fact that from ten to twelve days are required to obtain an answer to a letter sent to Canton by post; unwwere to similar communications forwarded by privato boats being received in forty- To put forward the privilege of the eight hours Post office in opposition to the inverest of the public may, in the eyes of a servant of the department, ap pear quite proper; but we apprehend that the ad- visers of the Crown will be of a different opinion, although it is but too evident that for a time a large portion of the community will be liable in prosecu froms by caminou informers, or by the public prose. cutor. This state of affairs in in the highest degree objectionable, as affording scope for the indulgence of feelings of analovulence, and as ancrificing the Interests of a great mercantile community to the caprice of one or two public servants, who might exercion a party tyranny by an opposition to the public.

If it be true, and no mare ?gure or fiction of pech, that the fetters of the slave fall off when his feet touch the soil of any land subject to Queen Victoria's sway, then it is true, that any British governor who violates that law, is a traitor to his cucntry, and one who deserves a full Angelo, ship measure of punishment for bis despicable conduct..

COLDIERS NAT HAVE DEKN INFORMED OF THEIR INOSPENDENCE WITHOUT ANY PAPER HAVING BREN READ," Such was our opinion after duly deliberating between the evidenos before the Court and the letter; and for holding that opinion we are vituperated by the Englishman most abundantly.
The Englishman's censure falls light, and we whistle it down the wind without a thought. We would say to our contemporary, however, be more cautious for the future in accepting communications from this quarter on "unquestioned authority, as more than one journal has been gulled by what they are pleased to style unquestioned authority." The Englishman's correspondent may have omitted to inform him of one fact, which we now whisper in his ear-General D'Aguilar did not use an order having reference to the police, the communication uocs made verbully in an undress to the men 11!

This coincides with the view we look of the matter; and it remains to be seen whether his Excellency will carry out bis intention, or defer it, in respect to the wishes of his countrymen in Canton, who, it is to be believed, are in a position to form a due estimate of the danger that would be incurred were they loft defenceless in the present state of our politient relations with China, and with a populace burning for an oppor-nerel order, informing the soldiers that they are not tunity to retaliate for the outrages of April.

Cruz has been taken without any realatan's. The following paragraph we translate from a late num ber of the Mexican Republicano":
The Foreign Legion.We had the pleasure on Sunday best of owing a company of Amertean de. serters, principally trish, reviewal by his excellency the general-in-chief. They are perfectly armed Tula. This company have made a peculiar sisaard and equipped, and are on the paint of departure for for themselves, on one side of which is scan the n tional coat of arme, with the moutong live the the Republic of Mexico."

Tue P. & O. Company's steam ship Pekin Captain Smith sailed at 2 o'clock yesterday with passengers and mails for Indu and Eu rope. We had merely an opportunity of tak. ing a peep at the ship as she was about to sail, As a speciinen of naval architecture she is much admired--the machinery being of the most powerful description. Her passage from Ningapore was rather longt from the vessel being on light that the paddies wore not im- nered on deep as is required for speed; but as she appears in better trim now, it is antici pated that sho will make a good passage against The monsoon. The accommodation is excol. lent-the Saloon lofly and spacious, while the sleoping cabins exhibit a great regard to com. fort. We may add, though of minor import ance, that the "fittings" are elegant and laste- ful.

LEGAL IMPUNITY FOR CRIME.
From the Spectator, April 3.1 The very faulty and perverse working our eri- minal law has just been illustrated by a curious case at the Liverpool Aseizes. A Mrs Juhnson was ac cused of poieing her husband with arsenic. In evidence it appeared that the woman was habitual- ly faithless to her conjugal rows, openly declaring her preference for an older man, and her wish to get rid of Johnson; that he had died rather sod- Jenly, of symptoms that might indicate prieun; and that when the body was exhumed, it exhibited traces of arsenic, but very minute. There was some, but very unsatisfactory evidence that the woman had bought poison; the evidence us to the actual cause of Johnson's death was doubtful; and

We may clearly demonstrate the evils of the Opium Farm in very few words. At Macan the average price of opium per ball is $16; Hongkong #17, or s? per cool above the retail price in the neighbouring settlenient. A vast number of passage boats, from various towns on the neighbouring Count of China, are employed in carrying small dealers to the rival European settlement for purposes of trade. With there men opium is the Crat considera tion, and they naturally go where it is to be had on the most advantages terms. They do not, however, confine their purchases to opium British manufactured goods and la dian produce are also in request; and though individually the sales are small, the aggregate amount is considerable. The whole of this traffic has been driven to Macao by the Opium Furm; nor is there the slightest chance of its returning to Hongkong so long as that mono poly exista. It may be said that there are no revizictions upon the sale of opium in quanti ties of a chest and upwards; and this is true. But it must be remembered, that a chest of opian costs ?150 Sterling, and very few Chinese dealers are possessed of funds to take such a quantity. If chopkeepers in the country towns and villages in England, were obliged to purchase the chief articles of their trade from first hands, either at extravagant rates or in quantities be yond what their means admitted of, they would turn to other quarters for a supply. So it is with the Chinese dealers in this eighbour. bood-they find that they can suit themselves better at Macao, and they carry their traffic to that port.
