Captain Endicott's gallant capture of a piratical vesel at Cursingmoon, as cominunicated by our correspondent, is beyond all praire, and we placere. ly hope that the wound he has received will be Merely a temporary inconvenience

The Blamer Plato left the harbour yesterday having Sir John Davis on board. 11 je understood that His Excellency proceeds to Camsinghoon to enquire into the particulars of the capture. We presume that the pirates will be handed over to the Authorities of their own country. As they were Isken by sa American, in the Chinese wateis, aller having rod into a Chinese vessel, it is questions- 1 ble, if brought to 11ongkong, whether they could be tried by English law,

We hear from Canfou that business is quite at a stand, nor will it be removed until after the Chinese boliday In the mean time foreigners are amusing themselves with shooting on the river side, Saipa being numerous this season.

The Chinese offer no opposition to parties visiting the suburbs, though the populace particular the lower classes-are determined that faoigners shall not be permitted to saler the city. The violent patriotisun of the mob will mom likely subside after the first entry, and we resume that foreigners will but seklom sval! themselves of the privilege. As a proper pre caution, however, it is don ?able that a war Steamer be moored off the acturica, and that in bo distinctly intimated to the Authorities, that they will be held responsible in the event of any outrage being sonumitted on the person or property of foreign residents in consequence of their admision to the city.

It is said that the American Consul now de. clares that w? Jave no right to insist on the privilege. We may at least doubt whether he holds such opinions upon the subject, as it has besa unilerstood hitherto that be was strenuous in lis endeavours to secure such a reasonable office.iur.

lo Table No. 111.We see the number and proportion of deaths among the prisoners, which shows the mortality in the prison to be very small, being about J? per cent. The chief causes of tho | mortality are Ulcers. These occur among the lowest class of the Chinese, and nru owing to their unexcitable or non inflamatory temperament, their spare dist, consisting of rice and salt fish, their filthy habita, and a wish on the part of the pallents to prevent the Ulcers healing so as to avoid work. Tboss Ulcers are often induced by the clains on their limbs, which may be mid to act as the imaxe. dinte exciting causo. Epidemies have been unknown in the Jail.

In Table No. IV.We God the deaths among the Government O?eers to be small, only amounting tot in 68 of the whole, that is 14 per cent, or a li?la more then I per cent among all the cases that have been under treatment in 1845. But in the Police Department, including Overseers of Rosda, we find a much greater mortality, being 1 in 14 of the whole number of persons, that is 7 per cent, or among these who have been under treatment, in 19.5, that is, about B? per cent. This mortality is owing to the commant exposure to the vicissitude of the climate, ike intemperate habits of the individuale, the deleterious nature of the spirits they imbibe, and further, to the Road Overseers living in temporary dwellings erected on the damp soil.

Table No. V.-Shows the European and Portuguese population in Hongkong for 1843, und the number and porporsion of deaths to the population, which we dlacover to be 1 in 18-3 or nearly 5 per cent.

The past year appears to have been much more heshy among the civil community then the years previous, which is to be recounted for by the improved" state of the Culony, improvements in draining, in roads, and in dwellings more adapted to the country, also from the deleterious nature of the climate being better known, and therefore mote care taken to avoid the causes which promonto diarane; and it is hoped that disease will now cuntisue to diminish an the improvement of the place

increases.

anmal saving the British Government of ?15,000.

Canton continues to be in a very unsettled state, and a residence there is far from agroen- ble. We have conversed with a Gentleman who left on the 4th. He has been many years In China, but at no time does he remember so much hostility being exhibited towards foreig. Dere by the lower orders of the Chinese. Ta the vicinity of the factoried crowds of disorder ly people, who have no ostensible object for doing so, are congregated daily, and their gest ures and manner towards any foreigner who may appear in the back streets, are rude and of fensive, There is an evident desire to provoke * quarrel, which would be the commencement

of serious riola.

On Sunday one of the Gatekeepers was sa saulted by the mob and much injured; a drun- ken soxman was also beaten for some alleged Indignity he had committed on a temple, or Joss house. The same day a party of young Gentlemen crossed the river to view a Jo house inmediately opposite the factories. This spot has alway been open to foreigners, nor is it known that they were ever insulted there be- Sare. On Sunday, however, the party mun- tioned were pelted with stones and driven back to their boats. By the latest accounts - the 4th-there had been no further outrages committed, but there were still nume- rous suspicious charactors lounging about the streets outside the factory walls. The respec- Table Chineso say that the Magistrates have little osatrol over these people-that they are notorious characters-nor is it knows where they come from.

It is the general opinion in Canton that had the Pluto not arrived off the factories on the afternoon of the 17th of January, there would have been a very serious riot that night. The presence of a steam vessel would still bo a check upon the mob, and add greatly to the security of the foreign Merchants. We certainly think that the Naval Commander in China is acting very imprudently in keeping the Pluto at Hong kong, where her services are not required, and leaving his countrymen in Canton without any protection nearer than the ships at Whampoa Before amistance could be rendered by II. M.8. Agincourt from her present anchorage the factories might be destroyed. Such a calas- trophe is not impossible, and we apprehand that should it ooour the Rear Admiral would be severely censored for not having the Pluto moored off the factories,

By the Orig Fibberty we are in receipt of papers and letters from Sydney to the 27th of December. The Fanny Connel had sailed for Manila and China, and the Anita arrived from this port.

The markets are represented as being in a satisfactory state; and the agricultural and graning interests continue to improve.

Captain Beauvais of the Kestral, and Mr. Dobson, chief Mate, are in custody at Melbourne charged with having killed some lancars on the voyage from Manila.

Bydney, December 23rd, 1845.

Our present Governor

(Sir George Gippe) will leave in all probability in January or February next, ie. if his resignation be accepted; for although His Excellency has re- ceived an indirect intimation of the acceptance by the Home Government of his Excellency's desire to resign the government of New South Wales. I baliere. ? mm right in asserting that nothing official has been received by Sir George. That an im portant change will take place ere long in the go- noral government of these colonion, it is the belief of all those acquainted with political aire. It is asserted (and I believe it) that Bir Cleorge was of fered the Clovernor General hip of the Colonies; but declined the honor on the score of ill-health. Hi has also been affirmed that Sir Charles Fitzroy, brother to the late governor of New Zealand had been offered the berth, and had accepted the same. Our Colonial Becretary (E. Deus Thompson) I have been told gavo directions to the son of Sir Thoman Mitchell-four Surveyor general who is at present on an expedition to endeavour to penetrate through the vast Interior of this gigantin island, to the northe ward)-to write to his father by the first opportunity Manchester appears to be rather a round mating the fact that Fitzy was coming out.

In hare the goodness to discharge the rate alconde; the spence of such direction and in default of the levied, as well as that which will be shortly made same being so paid, it shall be lawful for any por for the querent quarter on the promises hired at you on appointed to collect the mid tax to apply to the by the Respective Officers of the Ordnance Depart-Chi Magistrate of Puline of the Island, who shall, on satisfactory proof of the mama baring been duly | demanded and ho?ng due and unsatisfied, grant his Wairant to levy the same by distress of any goods fos or in the lauds houses, or premises so cale; and that any auch rate, while unpaid, shalt bon llun on the property so assessed, or charged therewith. Pro- vidled always that wh?n and so often as any us101. mint ?ball be made on any such valuation, the par ticulars and nature of such assessment shall be pub lished in one or moro public newspapers of the said Colony.

We are also to stalo that, the Respectiv? ?f. ficers have always considered that the Rent paid for the pronians bell, was to be in fujt of all clairer to bo made upon them for the occupanay and we beg to observe that no renowal of the propertica now hold, can take place, nor will the Rent on ac. count thereof be paid, without the production of the | Collectors' Recsijus for the lag assortiment.

Your abedient pervenia. This is rather an important decument, as it places on record the opinion of the framers of Ordnance No. 2, that the assissiment provided for by that ordnance is a direct

upon pro. perty, payable by the landlord and not by the

tonant,

The Ordnance itself, is so vague and loosely wordded, that it is difficult to tell whether the tenant or landlord in the party responsible. Whether this obannrity arises from the natural incapacity of the Council, and their ignorance | of their own language; or whether it is inten- tional, that the law may be twisted to mit cir- cumstances, it is difficult to determino. If it is from the former, it is certainly made to provide for the latter; and enables the rulers of this Bar- rataria to tax tenant or landlord as they may find it convenient, or as it may square with their policy and interest. The grand principles of justice to throw asido, and absolutum, after the imaginary legislative buffoonery of the Spanish author, regulates the framers o our local laws. In the opinion of her Majesty's Jaw Officers in this colony, the rate is primarily payable by the tenant, though as regards the public it is | ultimately a charge on the landlord ; but in cases where the agreement for occupancy has been mado by a military Officer, the rent being payable out of government funds, the landlord may be applied to in the first instance.

NOTES DURING A RUN FROM PORT JACKSON TO HONGKONG, IN H. M. 8. Varraz 1945,

(From the Nautical Magazine.) Leaving the heads of Port Jackson, on 22nd November, at 6 a., with a fresh southerly breeze, steered E.NE for Lord Howe's Islands, which were made at 10h. 30m. a. . of the 24, bearing E.NE. distani fteen or eighteen leagues. From this position Lord Howe's laland makes as two a sher flat-topped lampe (the southern rather the bighat of the two) mach with a low peaked extre- mity on the south side- At 6 r. m. when distant from Howe's island about eight leagues, the Juno tion of the two parts became visible, as sko Ball's Pyramid, bearing 8, 80 E. distant about forty miles; the latter is a needle polated rock nearly perpendicular on the north alde, and on the south sboulder projects about a third from its summit. Passed about four leagues to the westward of Howe's Inland with light south-west winds and clear

weather.

At 5 p. m. of the 20th, having kept up N.N.E. from Howe's Island, passed about dve laguos to the eastward of the position assigned (in Noris's chart) to Sir Charles Middleton's Island, described as a racy high peak, but nothing was seen from the masthead of this ship, though clear weather. From this sleared nearly a dus north course keeping ? moderato easterly breeze (occasionally E.N.B.and N.E.) until the 2nd December, when in 11 and 163 E., batween Bolomon and Queen Char lotte lalands, after twelve hours calm it again sprang up from north-anstward, light.

All the islands are low and densely wooded, chiefly palins from 30 to 50 feet high. A few canoes approsabed one of which reached on board, containing three natives, but bringing do articles for barter; their object appeared to be to join the ship, asking as soon so they gained the deck, “You wani man TM*, I thought it not improbable that some Europea or American seamen tuey have been on the islands, who had been landed from whalers, and now ro quired a ship, as 1 some time since board it to be common occurence with the crows of whaling ships when they are, as the phrases is, “sick of the lay," or discontented, that they prefer being landed among the lalands to continuing an unprosperous voyage. Another circumstance to account for this; choice of the men is, that some illiterate and tyran. nical mon who occasionally command these ships find it to their internet to induce a portion of their grow, through exercising severe discipline, to las va the ship, when making up their complement with islanders, the lay, which would be due to the so- men, tends to augment that of the master.

The western is and which we passed to the westward of at a dia. tance of two leagues or less was low, and resen bled those of Raven's group. Nothing being soon to the westward I am disposed to consider that this island and one described by Horsburgh as Jans taland, are identical, akhough their positions do not coincile, which under the circumstances can hard- ly be expected, when Captain Johnson who is named as the discoverer of Jane Island, obtained bla longitude by lunar, and from the state of the weather no great dependance can be placed in our observations for chronometer. The island reported to the north eastward of this island is probably Moaburn leland in Noris's chart.

It is a subject for much thankfulness to the Al- mighty that theen islands and reafe have been made under such favourable circumstances, allowing us, to clear them bafore night, as it would appear that. the position of many that are acattered about these &,oss depend on rather questionable authority, and as they are so directly in the track of shipping from New South Wales to China during the north-east monsoon, a correct survey of the Naw Carolina Islands is very desirable. Until that is obtained.

From this we shaped a course for the Raven ads about N.N. W., making them at 9 a. the 12th December, having kept from Stewarts Islanda a moderate north-cost breeze with the ex. ception of two daye, in 4 8. of light and variable weather, during which we experienced squalla with

About sixteen days since, a third Lascar, whose name 1 do not recollect, was ordered by the chiar mate to heare in the spankers' brail, in doing this a low was aimed at the Lascar by the male; the ship was rolling beavily at the time, and in alteanjiting to evade the blow, the Lascar lost his hold, and dropped overboardand was drowned,"

Another circumstance to account for this choice of the men is, that some illiterate and tyran. nical men who occasionally command those ships find it to their interest to induce a portion of their orew, through exercising severe discipline, to leave the ship, when making up their complement with islanders, the lay, which would be due to the sea- man, tends to augment that of the master

This cave having a narrow entrance is easy of defence, and in the preceding compaign it had served as a refuge for the neigh? bouring people. Bix thousand unfortunate beings bad retired there with all their goods; the women and children were at the back of the grotto, and the men guarded its entrance.

Winter, demanding an additional expenditure for foul and clothing, will add to the distress of the labouring classes, and it may be expected that the Corn law league, will take advantage of the times and excite the people to demand of the Legislature a repeal of a great portion of the abaazious imposte upon the neces arie of life. The general confidence in the hoad of the present adraigistration, will unquestionably enable that distinguished Statesman to act with ?rm- nomy, at the same time, opening such chegnols of relief as may occur to the most accomplished Figan cier of the age. In the face of existing difficultice there cannot be a great demand for the luxurion of life, among which may be classed the staples of im- p-ons from China, and we fear that our mercantile Friends will have ansatisfactory advices from their Correspondents at home.

To the Editor of the China Mail.

Si-Your respectable contemporary of the Friend of Chine, in his issue of the 14th instant, has managed to fill up balfa column-rather an Huommon fast by the bye-with what are intended to be facetious remarks on and relating to, ab advertisement in the China Mail of the 19th. It is not my intention here to argue as to the propriety or otherwise of the Editor of the Friend, for the reasons stated, refusing insertion to an advertise mant contradicting an unauthorized and erroneous one to which he had unwittingly given admittance; but would bag to remark, that it is not unusual for papers, certainly not inferior to the Friend in ras pectability and importance, to express their regret in their editorial columns for any much uniuleation al insertions. But so far from this having been dona, the advertisement regarding the Blue Plates with White Flowers," was repeated afler the mis take was painted out.

Considering by whom the Fanoy Ball was man. aged and got up, the oncomity that existed for contradicting the advertisement must be evident to NOTICE,

| every one, szcapt the Edime of the Friend. If any Nao advertisements, will be received, until 4 | of the said crockery had not been returned from σClock, on the eveninge presious to publi|the Fancy Ball, falsely alleged, I presume an sation, viz: Tuesdays and "Pri-laye advertisement in a paper was not the method that

would be resorted to for its recovery.

The Friend in his remarka is particulae in stat. ing, to prevent misconception and confusion, for the advantage of his readers, at home, (if he havo any) that the 42d Regiment in question is not the celebrated Scotch Regiment of that number, (the nearer they can resemble them the better,) but the 421 Regiment Madras Native Infantry. Now, though the Mom Secretary, in signing his nam has omitted the proper dos gestion" of the corps, it is partienlerized in the body of the advertisement. I also like to be correct" Yours obediently,

Victoria, Hongkong, 18th Feb. 1846.

THE FRIEND OF CHINA AND HONGKONG GAZETTE.

VICTORIA, SATURDAY, PEOt?ART Slov, 1616,

The non-arrival of the Lody Mary Wood with

the mail, and the absence of all matters of local im portance, affords us to-day, but little material for the editorial pen.

We will take a short botics of one or two matters which are not altogether uninterest Returns of the trade of the port of Ningpo for

1845 are officially published.

The result of those returns, exhibita e tatal import and export trade at the port of Ningpo for the year 1845 of ?33,481,8; of this Great Britain has ?27,8985. For the protection of this trade of ?27,893,5, the British government supports a Con aular establishment at an annual expense of ?4,387. or upwards of 15 per cent upon the gross amount of trade. The trade of Ningpo is on the decrease, and the absurdity of having a Consular establish. ment at all will be more evident by taking the ro turns of British imports and exporta for the latter half of the year, Vixt. imports ?1,036, exports 44710- grand toul of British trade at Ningdo for six months ending 31st December 1845 25,755-Ex prase of Consular establishment for the mae period ?2,198 1.

"ONE OF THE Benipated."

Kwuang-tung. He has fixed upon the 1-lik ins. al soon to enter upon office and to manage ita af. fairs; and it is proper to make known to the eigh standards of Manichoo Tarate and Chinese, and all the naval stations, both officers and soldiers, that they may obey in a body.

Ist month, 14th day. * (9th February, 1846)

? it would appear that Muh the new Tartar General has received the general command of all the Manichoo and Chinese land and naval (reca of the entire provines. In ordinary times, we learn, the Mautahoo Commander-in-chief has only the garrison of the city under his orders ; but the pre- sent official announcement shows that his powers have been considerably extended. Our Correspon. dont has evidently made a clerical error in the data of the Proclamation, which we bars not the meas of rectifying The document must of course bave been issued before the day fixed for Muk entering "pop office.—E.

AN EDICT AGAINST PORESTALLERS OF RICE

Kaying of the imperial house, Governor-General of Kwang tung and Kwang-si, a director of the Board of War, vice-high chancellor and guardian of the heir apparent, minister and commisioner extraordinary, Sec. issues sovete prohibition against storing rice from fear of famine. Whereas it is important that rice should be in the market, to stop it in against the law. The population of Kwang tung is great, and its produce is too little, and the pport of the people always depends upon the nes of Kwangi, which the merchants bring. Banne the price of rios in Canton rises every day, and it has been found out that there are some villains and dissolute porsom surring up the people, and mying that in the year l'ing-woo and Tip-wi in the reign of Kin lung them was a famine, and now this year in Ping-woo again, and we should keep our rice for good market. Those villaine hinder the rice. boats from coming, and squeeze then in every way according to their wishes, and the merchants sup their trade; and this counce the want of rica among the people. But those men surely de not know the rainy season of the last your Yik-sz same exactly in time, and it enriched the earth very anch, and when compared with the Yih so year n the reign of Kiu lung it is very different, and I elieve, when the spring comes we shall have fine reins. If those villaine sull dare to koop back the rice, seeking profit, the law cannot suffer them, and their policy mux be thwarted, so that the mer. chants may trade again, and the people have foud. Besides commanding the governor of Kwang si to renew his former edict, I will command all the of ficors of the districts through which the merchant of Kwang-tung must pam in trading with Kwang- to inque proclamations so as to let all people know, that after this'no mau should store up rice for the font of famine. If any merchant from should buy their rice freely, and bring it to Kwang. Kwang-lung go to Kwang-si to buy rice, they tungo sell, and there should be no secret hinder. ance of buying and selling rice, so se to rise the the Tale of rice, and caties all sorts of difficulties villains dare to store up their ride, seeking profit, to the poco. 16 after this second vidiot, any of the and sand boats along the entrances of the province to binder and squeeze the merchants, the officers of their districts shall seize them, and bring them

THE FRIEND OF CHINA

AND HONGKONG GAZETTE. VICTORIA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1846 A private letter, dated London 28ad De gember, states that the memorial from the Merchants and Landholders of Hongkong had been before the Cabinet, and would receive all attention from Her Majesty's advisers. The jetter was written before. Lord Stanly had so, signed; and it mentions that his Lordship was fully aware of the state of affaire in Hongkong. It is thought before any answer is sent to the memorial, reference will have to be made to Sir Henry Pottinger, who by the last accounts was in Italy.

We hear that Mr. Montgomery Martin had an interview with Lord Stanley at the Culo nial Office, and that his resignation of the Tre arurership of Hongkong had not been formally accepted. The British Government are quite sletermined to keep faith with China with re- ference to Chusan."

The Lady Mary Wood brings intelligence of a very complex nature, and probably of greater importance than that by any mail from Eumpe; and India for several years.

In the United Kingdom the failure of crops is more partial than was anticipated, and grain has not advanced to any very extravagant ra. ies. In au elaborate article which appears in Blackwood's Magazine, it is proved that in Bootland the crops are about an average both in quantity and quality. The grain raised in that country bears but a small proportion to the consumption of Great Britain and Ireland, but it is inferred that in England and Ireland the extent of the falling off has boon greatly exag gerated.

British Merchants in China had most of them branches of their mercantile establishments in the Portuguese seldoment of Macao. There, they had every reasonable facility for transacting what is called the outside trade"-that is for despatching their ships, mails &c. On the representations of Caparis Elliot, then the accredited representative of the Crown, most of the Merchants were induced to build expensive and permanent bousos in Vic- foris, on the understanding that they would receive the foo simple of the land on paying a nominal guit rent. A farther inducement to invest on tho Island, was the reasonable expectation that under the protection of the British Bag, Hongkong would become a place of traffic;

THE FRIEND OF CHINA AND HONGKONG GAZETTE. VICTORIA, BATURDAY, FEBRUARY 90cm, 1816

The grallying welligence of a change in the Colonial Office, induces us belofty to revert to the causes which appear for a time to have effected the ruin of this colony.

Hongkong, as a Colony, is caentially different from all others, and in legislating for it this distinc tive character has been overlooked. It is not like our other tropical pomcasions, valuable for its pro- ductions, or as a commercial entrepot Neither leit of importance to the Mother country, as a place to which immigration relieves her of a suporabundani population, Hongkong is not, nor hes it ever been, a place of much trade, nor is there any inducement for Merchants to support establishments there, other that the expectation, that by good management, share of the trade of China might be drawn to the - port. That the colony la of immense value to Treat Britain is undeniable. She draws, at the most moderate calculation, a disth part of her enor mous revenue from the trade of Chlum; and for the protection of her revenue, a naval station nearer than Bingapore, was a desideratum. Such voqucation ably was the inducement which lead to the colonies tion of this faland, and we submit that, as the be nefits derived from it are common to every Bri. tish subject, so the expense of the civil establish meat ought to be borne by the country generally, and not by the law Merchants and others, who were led to invest money in building by hopen that have never been realised, and by promines that have never been fulfilled.

A new system of drill in about to be invuod to the Army.

Soveral judicious and economical changes in the dress and equipment of the Army have been offi- cially announced; they consist of an elastic leather stock in place of the present stiff one, thick cotton shirts instead of lince, and the substitution of light wonlod trowsers in place of white linen or duck. The petition to Her Majesty from the veterans of the late war, and to which is appooded a list of many thound signatores, has been placed in the bands of the Duke of Richmond, and His Grace will take the most favourable opportunity of pre. penting it to our Most graduous Queen.

The Naval and Military Gazetta mys—“We believe that arrangements have at last been made to rehave two Regiments annually from India, by pending one direct from England and another from Australia; to effect which the Regiments which in future are to proceed to Aquiralia will furnish Con- viet Gourde during one year, and at its expiration the remainder will embark from Chatham, in like manner, as soon as the last Convict Goard of the your bas arrived in Australia, the Regiment sext for India will embark from that country. If this Arrangement can be adhered to, which we doubt, the early relief of Regiments from fadia will he effected-a mousure we have long long and so aiously advocated.

Orders have been insed by Col. Bir T, Willshire commandant of Chatham, for the corps of the line in Garrison to be exercised in heavy marching or- der one day in each wook. The provisional Batt, consisting of eight companies, sumbering aburly 600 men, are marched out into the country for about three miles, and return to Barracks aker two hours' marching, under command of Lieut.-Col. T. G. Kelly.

The Grst half of the distance was through a bush jungle, but the most admirablo or der was preserved. The rest of the ground was an open plain affording to the enemy a full view of the advance, of which immediato adrontago wer taken; the whole fire of the entrenchinont on thei side being concentrated on the right winst of the Queon's Und, and the left wing of the 12th N.

Such acts of artificial re apeet may be pleasing to the vanity of the Gentle anen who appear to be playing at the game of go verning a colony, somewhat after the fashion that children amuse themselves by playing at Soldiers and other bannless sports, and we would be rejoic- ed that they confined themselves to similar in- oximus matures-in truth, it would be a happy deliverance, were the Major General to take the Eu- ropean police to himself and incorporate them with the 18th or 98th-we are certain that the colony would not suffer, and the arany would be strengthened.

Before adepting measures to this end, Ministers and the country will deliberately examine what Oregon is worth. In this inquiry, however, the validity of our title to the region will count for something. A nation. by tamely relinquishing any portion of territory to which ite title is clear and indisputable, invites further aggression. But Eng. land's title to Oregon is clear. From the Spanish (now the Mexicao) (sontier to the Russian outposts, the country was surveyed, and formally taken pos- session of by Cook and Vancouver. From the

Of all existing nations, except the Chinese per- bapa, the British is the most pacific. The multi farious occupations of its people supply ample excitement without the stimulus of war: English men are so busy that war puta them out. Great Britain, instead of seeking war as some of its neigboure affect to do, would at any time pay a handsome price to be spared the trouble. But tho nation will not yield to throat a title so strong as that which is can show to Oregon; it will not leave the British settlers in that region to the mi- serable alternative of renouncing their nationality or quiting their adopted homes. Notwithstanding the national repugnance to war, the British Minis tot who shall encounter it rather than give up our portion of Oregon, muy safely reckon on the no animous approbation and support of the country.

The value of the Punjab to Grant Britain is difficult to estimate. We have heard the re- venue rated at ?2,500,000. This was during the reign of Runjeet Singh, but since then it has probably decreased. The shawls of Cash- mere, which reach ladia solely by the Punjab, pay a transit duty of ?180,000 yearly. The |sult_mines are a government inouopoly ; the | proft is estimated ?100,000. I be other bran

ches of rovonue are ozkorbitant taxes on land and agricultural stock. Bir A. Burnos says ?there is perhaps no inland country which por sesses greator facilities for commerce than * the funjab, and there are few better supplied * with ther procter of the minibar animal wil vegetable kingdoms.

Europe may be seen in the mountains,“

Other travellers give a less favorabile de scription of the Punjab. Mr Elphinstone mys thai“ not one third part of the country is under * tillage, and that no part of the Punjab will "bear a comparison with British India." Ac- cording to another writer (Mr Trevelyan) "vegetable products are abundant only in the contral parts, through which Burnes travel. |"lock The climate in the north, though hot in * summer, is as cold in winter at that of Franco * and central Europe, and never sufficiently “warm to mature the most valuable products * of India."

The United States Ships Columbus and Vin, cennes are expected hourly. After a short visit- the Columbus will proceed to Manila, Commu- dore Biddle hoisting his pennant on board die Vincennes, The Columbus and Vincennet are magnificent ships of their class.

We hear, that the detachment of H. M. 98th, now in garrison, will embark for Chusan imme diately." This is not with the intention of streng- thening the foron at Chuman, but merely to havo the regiment united and ready for embarkation, according to orders expected from India, or from the Horse Guarda.

In a late issue, we stated that H, M.?. Ha- zard bad sailed for England. This is not cor. rect; the Hasard had a million of dollars on board, and was under orders for England, but from the defective state of the machinery of H. M. Steamer Vixen, it was thought advisable to send her home and retain the Hazard for a few months. The Hasard is now engaged on the service intended for the Firen. She has gone to Borneo to ascertain the state of affairs at Maludu. It is said, that the pirate Chief han strengthened his position, and intimated to Bir Thomas Cochrane, that if he again visits him he will get a warm reception. The Hazard joins the naval Commander in Chief at Sings- pore, and it is possible that in the course o a few months we will have another brush with the people of Maludu.

The straw of wheat is long, and it is also strong; but still it is more laid then either onts or barley, and wherever it was laid the crop will be very deficient As to the col- our of all sorts of grain, it is much brighter than the farmers had anticipated, and there is no sprem od grain this year.

In the east of Forfarshire, the harvest is repre- sented to me as being glorious; while in the west, there has not been a better crop of everything for maoy years. The accounts from Northumberland from two or three of my friends who farm there extensively, confirm the preceding statements, in regard to the bulk and general yield of the corn crop.

I may also mention, that the samples of wheat, and oats, and beries, presented at the Highland and Agricultural Society's Show at Dumfries, along with the grain in the straw, were really admirable. With all these allestations from so many parts of the country, that are known to be good corn districts, 1 cannot doubt that the crop is a good one on good soil."

We bag most sincere'y_to_congratuhle nor worthy contemporary of ufficial notoriety for the astonishing virtiry he has obtained over Chinese reclusion. Not only does he secure all the "gap" of the villages to the neighbourhood of Caumur, but bids missaries have pa?strated into the Templu of Budha in the centre of the city, and make jus blic the praticomate of the leading gen who had assembled for the double purpose of feasting and discussing politics. We have the Chief Minga- |trates speech, so if it bail beco taken down by n reporter for the Morning Herald. We are quite electrified the freedom of discussion among the Cefartists—the indemnity money—the surrender of Chump-and the opening of the city to foreigners are all brought forward, and poor John Bull is hear- Lily abused of course. Our worthy contemporary omits to say where his Correpondent was con curled on the occasion —it must have been in an in- vente pot,-or perhaps the whole affair is one of thing dulusions to which the inhalers of the “drug" are subject.

The "Hongkong Almanack, and Directory" for 1845 has been publieked, and be now for sale at

the Store of Mr Rutherford,

This is the first Almanack that has been pablish- ed in Hongkong, and were we dispused to be cri tical, we would bear in remarabesco the great dif- fethies which have to bo contended with ?n getting up a work of this kind ?n Chiun. Jo a very mode proface we are told that the Almanack was com piled in houre apart from business, and wa c?nein- ly think it highly ereditable to the Gentleman, to whose industrious habits we are indebted for a very useful book of reference. At times we are at a good deal of trouble in hunting up dates unders that have taken place in China (others of course

are in the same post ion) hut by a reference to

the Almanack they are found at once. The Ap- pendix contains various local ordinances, and tables of the value of exchange, which will be found set. viable to most people in the Colony.

If Holland suppose That England will be bullied into compliance with what the former conceivos to be the interpretation of the treaty of 1824; in that ease an error of judgment will somewhat sooner annex Jaya to the Briksh dominations than English statesmen antici. pated.

It appeared, however, to the Directors dat mom the proposat liconsos wore to be

A me. morial was therefore addressed to the Board of Trad: pointing out this probable abuse, and suggesting a mode by thich it might be avoid- cil; and a reply was received from that Board fully entering into the views of the Chamber, and stating that stops would be promptly adopt- ed for giving them effect; and, although, from sono oversight, an obstacle has occurred, which provents for the present the satisfactory work. ing of the proposed plan, yet it is hoped that a very short time will suffice to put everything in proper train for giving it a fair trial.

REMARKS UPON THE NAVIGATION OF THE RIVER MIN

The White Dog Group will afford shelter to vonnels in the N. B. monsoon; but by far the best place for making the entrance to the River is from Chung-cho-ean and Mut-sou-shan On the west side of the latter, vessels will find shelter in either monsoon; and as they will have only seven miles to go to reach the bar, they will be better enabled to choose their time.

The course from Rees Hork is N. 08- W., and in going up keep the two leis (called the Brothers) on the face of Hoo-koanga in one, which will carry you in mid channel until you are abreast Sharp Peak Point, when a N. W. by W. course may be shaped for Temple Point which is upon the north bank of the river, and will be known by the t and Joe.beuse upon it

In the channel without Rees Rock the depth of water in 24 und ? fathoms between Rees (tock and Sharp Peak Point thero is a hole with 5 and fathome where vessels may stop a tide and find solorable shelter; Sharp Peak Point should not be passed nearer than a cable; the bay west of it is shoal, and under the Peak the two fathoms line ex- teade nearly one mile from the shore,

The mud also extends 8. East-rly from too. koanga nearly 14 milan. Vessels besting in this passage must therefore keep the lead going

From the West Brother the mud extends wey- terly one mile, and upon its borth edge is a patch of rocks which are covered at quarter flood. The West Brother bears from them 8. 74% B., an?l ?le Temple N 12. E.

We are sorry to say that this account of the of the interview. Captain P. was in command of the Constitution and had orders from our govern went to attempt the negotiation of a treaty with the natives. His official report to our government has just been published. The following pacography contain the important parts of it. They are few a despatch of his Lieuinoans Me Chaplin :

Coast of Borneo, 9th April, 1845. Bir: Purvant to your instructions of the 7th instant, I left the ship, with the boste under my command, and proceeded to Moonrro point, which I reached at 7 a ■. of the 8th instant, thence to Live city of Boruco, arriving there at 2 P. M. of the SLIDA day

Near the entrance of the city we were met by a messanger from the Sultan, who was directed conduct us to the palace; and on entering the tow two salutes were red in honor of our arrival.

Proceeding directly to the palece, I was receiv ed by the Sultan in a spacious and airy apartment, filled with a large ocnoourse of people of tank "the dais, or raised portion uf.he door, upon which tho thione aloud, was reserved for the principal officers of stain, myself, and our interpreter. The Baker rose as I entered, offered his hand to be slinken, and desired as to be seated. I wow informed him, throgh the interpreter, that we were come to his country from the Sultan of Amerion. (I used the term as being the must comprehensive one) to bring bim from that parsonage ? cordial grooting, as- wurances of friendship, and his desire to cukivare

■ more intimate Intercourse; that America was on extensive country, with a numerous matine of both war and matahant vonsole, sodo great variety of articles of 10.mercs; that, of th? latter, we had emple on board, intended as a provent to his Mai justy; that in opening a trade with Borneo, we had no desire to maquire ? title to any portion of his Majesty's domioms, but simply no open and fair trado for our meishant vessels, protection to their arews, immunity from exorbitant exactions, and a quarentee to that effect in the form of a treaty, the erme and stipulations of which should be made con formable to the views of the Sultans of both cum trice.

To this speech, carefully conveyed to his Majes- ty is detached sentences by our mispister, de fer plied through his chief minister, ikat (t mot his ap probation, but that within a very short period he had granted to the English government the excl.. sive right of trade to Borneo proper, and now he could do nothing for America.

To this I replied that it wwe not the custom ?f maritima nalios to grant exclusive rights of tesla lo nag particular one; that in so doing a paliwo Settered to own industry, deprived ita citizens of many advantages in the aria and agriculture; that the Divine hand, for a wise purpose, kail not be Motveil the fruit of the earth equally and alke drds every enuntry and climate; and that when it was too late the "Sultan" might have canusa to res gret so ruinous a pollay."

Ha reply to this seemed to have been made with

■ view of closing the door to any thing in the shapes of treaty. It was that Mr Brooke was now lo English (ajah of Borneo proper, and that nothing could be done without zele?ence to him,

"The next object of importance in your instrar. tions was, to ascertain whether we might obtain, by purchase or otherwise, the right to use certain minen of coul, said to exist in the island But all negotiation on this point was out abort by the Sul- tan's interming me that, within three weeks pan, an English war ateamer had visited Borneo, witha special agent of the Queen of England, who bid purchased the exclusive right to all the coal within the dominions of the “Bulian."

Captain Percival states farther that while bo Bingapore the object of his expedition was known, and that this Mr Bronke and Caps. Be. tune at once left for Borneo in a steamier, no antu anticipate, if possible, his negotiations.

The destruction was very great, s may be supposed by Guos served as those wero-II. M.'s 538 Regiment moved forward in support of the 30th native infantry by the right of the Village. The battle was won our troope ad- vancing with the most perfect order to the common focus, the passage of the river. The enemy com. pletely hemmed in were lying from our Bro, and precipiating themselves in disordered mamos lato the forde and boa's in the utmost confusion and conelematon. Our 8-inch Howitzers soon began to play upon their bows, when the "dobris" of the Bikh Army appeared upon the opposite and high bank of the river flying in every direction although sort of line was attempted to countenance their retreat, until all our Guas commenced a furious nomade when they quickly receded. Nine Gane were the verge of the river by the ford, 11 ap pears as if they had been unlimbared to cover the ford. These being loaded were fired once upon our advance. Two others were slicking in the river: one of them we got out Two were usen to sink in the quick and Two were dragged to the op posite bark and abandoned.

The determined bravery of alt was as conspicuous as noble. I am unwbar to praise when praise le not merited; and 1 bere man rowedly express my 6rm opinion and conviction, shat no troops in any battle en record ever behaved more nobly, British and native so ditiuetion, ca- valry all vying with H. M. 16th Lancers, and striving to bood in the repeated charges. Our g?n and gunners, offeern and men may be equalled, but cannot be exceeded by any artillery in the world. Throughout the day no besitati?u, a bold and in. trepid advance, and thus it is thakour low is com paratively small though I deeply regret to my mo- were. The caemy fought with much resolution, They maintained frequent rencontres with our on valry hand to hand. In one charge upon infantry, of H. M.'s 12th lancers, they throw away their muskets and came on with their swords and tar gels against the lance.

flaving thus dene justice and justice alone to the gallant troops His Excellency entrated to my remmand, I would gladly if the limits of a despatch (already 100 murb lengthened 1 fears) permitted me to do that justice to individuale all deserve. This cannot be, therefore must I confies myself to men tion those officers, whose continued services, expe- rience and standing placed them in conspicuous commande. In brigadier Wheeler, my second in command, I had a support I could rely on with every confidence, and most gallantly did he head his brigade. From brigadiere Wilson, Godby and Hicks, I had also every support and every cause- to be gratided with their exertions, in brigadise Curoloo, H. M. has one of those officers rarely met with, the cool experience of the veteran soldier is combined with youthful activity. His koowledge of outpost duty, and the able manner be handles his cavalry under the heaviest 6re, rank him among the first cavalry officers of the age; and I beg to draw His Excellency's marked attention to this honest economium. In major Lawrenson, com nanding the artillere, lieutenant colonel Alezender, explain Turion, and lieutenant colonel Lane, the Service has oficers of the very first order; and am equally atisfied with captain Boileau, in com- mand of the 9th Pr. bettery, and with Lieut Mill in charge of four Light Gane. The two 8-inch Howitzers did eight good service, organised, equip. ped, and brought into the field by the exertions and letermination to overcome all difficulties of lieut. col Lane, equally well served and brought forward always with the infantry by lieut.

Wykle, Esq, to be Clerk of the Peace at Swellendam, in the settlement of the Cape of Good Hope; and W, Harding, Bag., to be Crown Prosecutor for the district of Natal, in South Africa.

On the north side the seasons had been more propitious, and curresponding reauk wan expected.

The weather had continued dry for some time at Bardadors, and had become very sultry, and there was the prospect of rain. The young cones ware fast perishing in some places, and plants were sencen. In a quatre between some of the black troope and privates of the 88th Regiment, stationed at the island of St Lucia, one of the latter was struck on

Any inquiry into the progress of the country, however briefly conducted, must certainly be use ful. Since nolay agitatore, bent on frightening the community to advance their own selfish ends, and

by their actions, have taken it on themselves to publish expositions of our social stato, very orra neous impressions have been circulated concerning it Bome newspapers, too, have diligently lent themselves to the task of misrepresentation, and we have had notices of meetings by rushlight and mooslight, and reports of commissioners, who, being used all their days to the luxuries of London tife, are surprised to find that people live in collages with thatched roufa, dig the ground or lead catile for a living, and ate quite ignorant of the fare of London taverns and potations of brandy and water. Were we to judge solely from their expremions of

wrought stories of wholesale starvation, wa should be forced to believe that England was the mos wretched country on the face at the earth, and that her people were sinking lower, your by year, to the scale of existence.

Sir Robert Peel attributes the diminution of crime to his riff alterations. En dio absence of any positive know ledge on the subjoat, we are rather inclined to refer it to the exertions made some years previously on belalf of our neglected population.

LEGISLATION AND FINANCE.

The Parliamentary Bession of 1845 was the most laborious of any on record. In the six months. that the Legislature continual its sitting there were passed no fewer than 160 public and 240 private aru. Of the private acta 100 concorned the for mation of railways.

Parliament mot on the 4th of February. The recommendations of the speech wore chiefly d? rected to the policy of extending the opportunities of academical education in Ireland, the pr priety of continuing the income tax, so that ruduc tions in other taxation might be offreted.

Bir Robert Peel made his financial statement tea days after the opening of the session. The Pre- mer had to deal with a prosperus ruvenne. In scad of a gross amount for the year ending 6th Jans 1845, of ?51,790,000, as estimated in the proving years by the Chocellor of the Exchequer, the real amount was ?54,003,000; leaving a aurislus oreT the amount of expanditure of ?8,357,000. By making the account up to the approaching 5th of April the Promler ostinised that the actual surplus revenue would be five millions, the great incrense having taken place on customs, excio, and stamps. How was the surplas revenue, then, to be app. proated? It would enfion for the repoal of the income-tax, or it would be sufficient to make large remissions in gooural taxation" The Minister de cided on the latter course. He propused that the duties on British plantation sugar old to reduced from 250 34 per cwi to 14s por cut, and the foreign free-grown sugar from 35 2d to 2% 41. Ele pro posed also the total repeal of the duty on coton- wool. amounting to fivo sixteenths of a penny per Ib, as 1 yielding a revenue of ?180,000; be repeal of the suction duty, #250,000 ; of the duty on glass, 640 000; of the export duty on coal, #183,000: and o reductions on duif on minor articles in tho tariff to the extent of 320,000; which, together with an estimated lose on the sugar duties of ?t, 300,000, would amount to ?3,388.000. To make this great experiment in remissions and reductione of duties he proposed the income tax should be con- tinwed for three years longer.

This plan was well received by the House, as it relieved some great branches of untional indonery from duties which, if they did not fetter them, yet acted as a restraint on the full development of their energies. As reganied sugar, the reduction was felt to be only an act of here justice, no it had long boen felt extremely hard that so necenty modity should have had to bear a tax of ?il per Ib. By proposing the income-tax for a limited permal longer, the alternative was obristed of luring either to justify its inequality and injustice in rat ing all invoice akiko, or of entirely reconstructing it, so adapt it to different kinds of incomes.

Mr Cushing observod that lie had, in brief, presented a picture of Anglo Norman growth in firent Britain, and that the annals of the world did not furoish another instance of such a Stupendous growth. He neked, in degreming a little from this point, who should sum up the mise ry which had altended this growth—not the misery of the mailer and the soldier dying upon the battle fickt, or in camp, or hospital—not the misery of the conquered uations, doomed to suffer all the horrors of war, in dwellings burned, fields desolni. pal, and inhabitante murdered, or driven into ezile -he would speak of the Jase conspicuous, but not less dreadful, miseries of hee children, who were doomed to labor in her mines and workshops, the slaves and instruments of her arist?eratic sona And here Mr Cushing drow fearful picture of the grant and misery, the old friends and consellors of the poor of Great Br?sin.

If the sume Norman, continued the lecturer, with his genius, his avarice, his love of power and extended dominion, had established the seat of bie monarchy on this continent, what a Britain there would have been !. He would have enjoyed the in pular position of his sen girl jale, for none but Spain would border upon him, and to cross his banders would have been the ruin of Spain; he would have possessed" vast mines of iron and coal infinitely more extensive than the mines of Great Britain. Il in Europe, Great Britain has been enabled, by means of her navy, to acquire commanding penin anlar positions, she would have found on this co- jiment all the materials for a navy, in an equal or greater degree than sho possesses them in Englood If she has acquired todia, she might still have done so had the seat of her power been here in of of io Europe. for the difference in distance from Lon don to Jodia, and from New York to Izdin, is bu trifling-ker thirst for power and land would have found pretexts to wrests the possessions of New Spain from the rule of the mother country, and might, perhaps, have carried her to Terra del Fue go. Think you, asked the lecturer, had New Spain belonged to Great Britain, that country would have No! remained in its present degraded condition. Her arma, her mind would have carved out for it higher and nobler destiny than it now enjoys. The revenue of her silver uninya lat surpass the m venue which England derives from India. Thir would have been sufficient inducement to England to civilize that country.

Had the seat of the British Monarchy been on this cortinent, the territory, though vart, would have been compact, susceptible of rasy communica tion one part with another. The fisheries, NET-

ous harbors, inland sens, the fortilty of the soil, the mineral tiches, the salubrious clinate, the com- manding positions between two oceans, extending from one to the other, would have afforded greni sources of wealth, and all the olemments of a great national power.

Granting that the appositions are porrect, and the conclusion true, what follows as relates to the United States, since it is now out of the power of England to place bereclf in the condition which the lecturer and imagined for her

In answering this question. Mr Cushing observed that there was une great fault in the intellectual condition of this country, which was a want of moral independence-in the subjection of the Am. erican to the English mind; we achieved our poli tical independence years since, but our intellectual independence was not yet won Mr Cushing ber

deavored to show what would have resulted had

But Britain planted the seat of her empire here. though the Government was not here, the Angli. Norman was. And man was the time whether in America or Great Britain, and indeed the An. glo-Normao of this country upon his arrival brought advantages with him superior to those of The people whom he left behind. We are republi cans in this country, and it becomes us to ask and Jetermine who is yet to be the head und lender of the Anglo-Norman race. With the lecturer it should be the American people, freed from sobjection to British mind or power in any point of view. The people of the United States do not realize the im importance of these things, but Great Britain does Bho sees and fears aur growth. She fears the in- crease of our population which adds to our strength, while an increase in her population tends to weaken her, being overburdened, ni tha prosent time, with a superabundant population.

England, influenced by her love of growth, has proceeded to intervention in the affair of this coo. Lancet, to intervention in the matter of Texas and the United States—and not succeeded in this, to imervention in the affairs of Buenos Ayres and Uruguay. These facts are of momentous import. ance to us-and to beat back the interference of European powers, wo have only to be conscious of our own strength, and to put it forth.

Me Cushing said he might be asked if he was in favor of an indefinite extension of the territory of the United States. Ile would newer no-not faeter Ihan it could be done constitutionally and peaceful. ly, after men were prepared to receive our institu. tions, which Mr Cushing deemed the best in the work, best smiled to the wants of man. He also disclaimed all harshness or hardness of feeling in the remoncks which he had made in relation to Great Britain.

Mr Curbing was very severe in many passages. -lle scored England without mercy, and rated hver for some of her glaring sins in round set terms, Tie language was bold and strong, and his denua. ciations marked by a fearless and independent tone, somewhat characteristic of the speaker. " At times he was very eksprent, und mando use of imagery which was almost startling from the bokinees and priginality with which he used it. It was one of the most spirited lectures we have over listened to.

REMARKS -The preceding Tables have been compiled from the Consular Returns of the British and Foreign Export trade at Canton for the

Year 1845, and the Quantities therein specified are those which actually paid duty.

The Weights and Measures stated are those in use at Canton. 1 calty is equal to 14 pound avoirdupois; hence I pical of 100 calties corresponds with 1334 pounds English. Chang is 4 English yards nearly.

The Value given has been computed upon a moderate estimate according to the average prices of the year in the Canton Market, including the duty and other charges.

Hong- kong, from its contiguity to China and the vil lages on the branches of the Canton river and the islands of its estuary, ought to be a place of free ingress and egress to market people and small dealers. If this system of flagging is per- sisted in, no native boat will dare to visit un at all, or if they do, the crew will not land, and their purchases and sales will be restricted to their operations with the Mandarin Acqu?, who carries the commerce of the colony at his belt.

"Some difficulty will in the begining, be experienc- ed with respect to milk, better, and fresh most; this was the case at first in Singapore, but the difficulty has in a good cure been overcome. The countries of the Archipelago are generally not suited to pasture, and it is only in a few of them that the ox and bulldo are shundant. The sheep le so no where, and, for the mont part, is wanding altogether; cattle, therefisso. must be Imported. Au to corn, it will unquestionably be found for cheaper to impart than to raise it. Rice will be the chief brend-corn, and will come in great abulance and cheapnes from a sad Cochin-china. No country within 700 miles of Bingapore is abundant Twit

in corn, and none is grown in the laland ; yet, from the

Brat establishment of the settlement to the present dme. corn has been both cheap and skundant, there has been wonderfully little Ruetustion, there are always stocka sud for many years a considerable exportation. A variety of pulses, regetable oil, and culinary salt, will be derived from the sains countries, as is now dome lo abundance by Singapore.

?Ehe mines of antimony are 300 miles to the south- west of Labuan, atul those of gold on the west and the south rosete; and I am not aware that any mineral wealth has been discovered in the portion of Darus immediately conected with Labuan, except that of coal-far wire important and valuable, indeed, than gold or antisnony. The exletmee of a col-field has

bown traced from Labuan to the islands of Kayn-arang

which words, in fact, mean coal-island-to the la land of Checmin, anil from thence to the mainland, over distance of thirty miles. With respect to the coal of Labuan itself, I fuil no distimet statement beyond the simple fact of the existence of the mineral; but the coal of the two islands in the river, and of the main, is proved to be-from auntysis and trial in steam-neviga ton-superior to newly all the oval which India bea hitherto yieliles), and equal to some of our best Buglish coals. This is the more remarkable so it is known that most surface-minerals, and especially cosle, are inferier to the portsous of the same reins or bada more deep- Leated.

**Nearly as early as the British Regla erectal, and. at all events, as soon as it is permanently knows to be so, there may be reckoned upon with certainty s large influx of settlers. The best and most numerous e these will be the Chinese. They were settled on the Barnes river when the larnes government, never good or otherwise than comparatively violent and disorderly, was mast cniturable.

THE HOUSE OF PEEL- Just before casting the first sod on the Trent Valloy Lino, Sir Roben Peel talked of the birth. place and seal of his family. The noble inmate of Stowe, who quaters on the glass lantern in his ball the bearings of half the uobility of England, (ex. isting and extinct,) may question the propriety of calling that a family which has not one ennobled branch: but when the numbers of the clan Peel, the amount of property posed by its oklons, and their distribution through the services, are taken into account, one feels that had the Premier spoken of his 'house' instead of his family, the phrase would scarcely have appeared inflated. The house of Warwick, and other house that in old time swayed the destinies of this country, were knots of kindred families: the King-maker was great man, but it was the two brave bears with their wolle relations that made the house. The nobility of a country are those who possess the talent to acquire and keep property together with the ambition to reuder it the instrument of making other work out theer ouds. A number of heads of amilies pos- end of these essentials of dobility, and united by the more or less remote ties of affinity, are, whe ther taled or not, a power in the state, and consti- tute a 'lume. Even in the ages when are were Um chief instrument for acquiring property, there were 'houses' in Europe--that of the Medici is an instance-whose power was derived from comarca In low-rubdued England, it is, with the exception of arms, the only source whence houses' can spring. The law or the church often makes a 'family'; but the nrmy, trade or manufactures, must combine with them to make a house. The list dismand counted for something in the making of two mo- cessive Premiers of England. When one of our untitled hours consents to be ennobled, it in truth recks to candle jealousy by mixing with a crowd of equal So long no it remain in the ranks of commausers, the reality of its power obtrodes itfelf; when mingled with the nobility, people forget that it to more powerful than its peers. Individuals or families may be raised to the Perrage, but houses use reduced to it. The house of Lords is a Pro- crustean bed, where all are cut to nearly the same dimension. There a Duke of Willington does not kok bigger than a Duke of Buckingham. Various causes bore induced one or other of our great commoners to accept of titles. But the time comes for every untitled house to descend from its self supported greatsess, and lose itself in that corpora- tion of houses and families, the Peorage: As soon as one of less ambitions or less courageous charac- ter comes to be head of the house, he seeks in al liance with an order a substitute for the self-sup- porting power in which he feels deficient.

Dalives.

We have looked carefully through the Indian papers received by the Bragants, in expectation of finding some later advices from New Zealand. When we last heard from the seat of war, British force was before the mockade of the patriot chief Kowitti, and sa engagement was expected to take place on the 1st or 2nd of January. We cannot find any particulars of the attempt to force the mockade; though from the following paragraph in the Bob Australian Clazetic" of the 29th March, the British force appear to bare boro successful.

NEW ZEALAND.

"We have received private information from an authentic source, that about two hours previous to the sailing of the Maskin from Auckland, intelli goice was received by Clovernor Grey from Hoki, S the effect that if the Goreruor supposed that he (Ueki) intended poses, he was very touch unistaken We are, however inclined to the belief, that Kowiui

Indian news are anticipated by the Straits Times extra. with which our subscribers were furnished immediately after the Bragama ar- rived. The rumour in the Indian papers of Bir Henry Hardingo's intention to return to Eng. land, is unet by another from England, witch. proclaims the recall of Sir Hugh Gough.

Lord Cathcart has been appointed Governor General of Canada. His Lordships fitness for the office is doubtful, and in the present state' of affaire in the west, Canada_requires a tried Governor. It was the general impression that Lord Elgin would succeed Lord Metcalf in Canada as he had in Jamaica; and, judging from his past career, a better soloction could not have been made. Lord Cathcart, as Commander in Chief of the forces, was left in charge of the government, whon the state of his bealth ren! dored d Metcalf's return to Europe an "oidable, and he has now been confirmed in an office, for the due discharge of the duties of which, his pass career has given no evidence of his capacity.

It is stated in the "Naval and Military Ga xette" of the 7th of March, that EI. M. 18th and 98th Regiments are under orders for India. It has for some time been anticipated that the military establishment in China would bo duced very considerably; and we presuno that the troops will scarcely regret their remo val from Itongkong to India, where if the climate is not better, they have the advantage of serving under a Commander in Chief who knows the precautions which are necessary to protect his men from its influences.

England and France, two othere of the five powers, were now combined to a disgraceful invasion of an unoff. nlng people in South America. England and rate were seeing upon Africa ; and not long since, the samo powers were tampering in the affairs of Tezos, na they nro at this moment tampering with the domestic con cerns of Mexico. What now is our position! The two continents of America, north and south, pie- sent us with some ten or fines independent go. veraments, and only one monarchy among them.

We are the only counterpoise on the continent against the five greal powers. Here Mr Allen recapitulated the extension of European usurpations in Asia, Af- rice, and Aunerics, and mid that, by a family al liance with a royal bouse of Europe, the system of European monarchy, or the germ of it, was already planted and sprouting in this western hemisphire.

With respect to the Terme on which Lands have been chapssed of, there appears to be nothing new in the prese representation, and to the nubject has been alrendy exhauri tel both in Sir Henry Pottinger's Despatches of March and May 1814, and Lord Swaley's answer of 19th November 1864, and in your own Correspondence with the Mercantile Busty, it would be seporiluose in me to renew the discussion. I content myself, therefore, with expressing my concurrence in the general restoring on this subject adopted by Lora Banley, as well as by Si? Money Pottinger and yourself. In regard to the position of Itases, the Mercantile Body any mean that as such Rutes are in the Country levied by Mu

cipal Buders, and at by the Imperial Legislata'e, is in unconstitutional and illegal that they should be levied in Hongkong by the Colonial Legislators. But whether thin be or be not the jam construction of their language, in the proposition itself which they have advanced (cam by no means concur.

An unfavorable reply has been roceived to the Memorial from the Landholders of Hongkong to the Right Honorablesho Secretary for the Colonies Those, who like ourselves, never anticipated its sus cous will not feel disappointed. As an act of courtesy towards Lord Stanley, it may have been adriable to lay out grievances before him, before they were brought formally before parliament in the shape of a petition. It has Ellen to his Lord ship's successor to answer the Memorial, and he his done so, in terms not very dissimilar, from those that might have been looked for from his predecessor.

The memorial itself was much too general, and referring to questions which had previously been definitively settled, it was open to objection. It in troduced prominently the land tenure and land rent, any akoration in which, oppressive as they are, can never be expected. Of this part of the momo cial Me Gladstone deems it superflyoss to take any particular notice, as he concurs in the opinions of Sir Henry Posinger as trail as those held by Lord Sigley and our pessent Governor.

The Secretary for the Colonies may not be aware, that only a portion of the British Merchats avail themselves of the supposed advantages of a residroce in Hongkong, and that the number is getting less, and will continue to decrease, unless means are adopt. ed to encourage trade. A continuation of the pre sent system will leave Hongkong with few Mercan- tile residents, and if the trade of China must support the civil establishment, the non-residents-the ab mentres-must also be taxed.

We have entertained an opinion that previ ous to restoring Chusan to China, Canton should be opened to the foreign inhabitants. Whether a strict interpretation of the words of Lic treaty rendered this compulsory upon the Chinese has been questioned, though the spirit of the treaty certainly provided for such a roa- sonable privilege, and the justice of the demand was admitted by Keying years ago. The ques tion of right is set at rest by a public document bearing the sign manual of the Emperor, (about to be transmitted to England for the approbation of Her Majesty) which concedes the point. The oponing of the gates is however deferred until the population of Canton shall be more under the control of the local Government" or in other words, for an inde- finite period.

With respect to the Terms on which Lands have been deposed, share appeare to be sething new in the provent pepresentation, and as the s?lyect has been alrendy vahaw. ted both in Sir Henry Pottinger's Despatches of March and May 1814, sad Lord Blanley's anawar of 19th November 1586, and in your own Correspondence with the Mercantile Body, it would be super?uous in me to maew the discussion, I consent myself, therefore, with expressing my dearerrence in the general reasoning as this subject adopted by Lurd Branley, as well as by Sir Henry Pattinger and yourself. I regued in the imposition of Essen, the Meresatile B?dy myy mean that as such Rates are in the County levied by Mus meipal Bodies, and wit by the Imperial Legislato ?e, it is Unconstitutional and illegal that they should be levied in Hongkong by the Colonial Legislature. But whether thin be or be not the just construction of thrie language, in the proposition itself which they hava adrinced Icon by Do iam concur. The circumstances of the Town of Virbacia and of the colony of tengkung generally aen se diferent fun any state of society axising in this Country, or in any British Colony, and they are likewins as yet so imperfecity developed, that it would be impossible, perhaps at any time, certainly at present, to apply to them principles, or to intra. dace into them Institutions, which elsewhere are recognized and evablebed.

THE FRIEND OF CHINA AND HONGKONG GAZETTE. VICTORIA, SATURDAY, MAY 2100, IN 16 The parapraph in the Naval and Military Gazette which we referred on Wednesday, is only partly correct. The 18th do not go on to India, though the February mail brought out orders to that effect. As the war in the Pun- jab had terminated, the Major General did not embark the regiment, and the March mail, brings orders for their continuance in China if pod already embarked.

Until some special act of the British parliament deprives us of the privileges of sub- jocs, it is vain to talk of the existing state of so city precluding Englishmen from their rights Englishman. The argument brought forward by the Secretary for the colonies, is a favorite with those who have endeavoured to enact the inom bar arous laws in the colony, to which laws Europesa inhabitants were to be amenable. It is however, a fal lacious argument. The European population will challenge a comparison with that of any colony; and the native popolation is industrious and orderly, only requiring good treatment, and an impartial magis. tracy, to attach then to the government.

We have entertained an opinion that previ. ous to restoring Clusan to China, Canton should be opened to the foreign inhabitants, Whether a strict interpretation of the words of the treaty rendered this compulsary upon the Chinese has been questivoed, though the spirit of the treaty certainly provided for mich area- sonable privilege, and the justice of the demand was admitted by Keying years ago. The ques tion of right is set at rest by a public document, bearing the sign manual of the Emperor, (about to be transmitted to England for the approbation of Her Majeay) which concedes The Riga Honble.

Insomuch as I refleet that your honorable nation formerly bought Africans and made slaves of them, so that during a long period the aggregate has emounted to several myrisila, boncofurth may the men of worth of your honorable country, in limita tion of High hoaven, cherish for ikun ? foling of commigration, and diffuse intelligence among the men of worth of every nation, that they may exert thoir strength to prohibit and merest this evil, and not allow the people of that country (Afries) in be made plavos. Those who have been bought should be suffered at their option to return to their coun- try, and to their native villages. Then this being done it will be seen that your honorable nation delights in a righteous beart.

Again, there are those who are addicted t casting their nets for profit. These make many schema for transporting it and selling it again i every provison. As daily the wind rum and the waves increase, so this accomulated evil has bee

Truly, this our betuesolent and good people have folt most sensibly and wept over it with dowing tear.

I desire every man of worth in your honorable nation, who takes plonsure in zigthenuances, and is devoted in books, and clearly understands the prin ciples of reason, and like high (osver, delights in a life of virtue, may dimensinate among the men of worth of every nation, that inasmuch as they them. selves formerly cherished commiseration for tha TRINKER & HEYL, offer for sale, at their oppressed, and put an end to the slave trade, so to Blores, superior Port, Sherry, Madeira, and eternity let opiuta he prohibited.

This is what I sincerely hope for from the men of worth of your honorable na- from, and I beseech them not lo rezard prius, nor be spacing of ink, but earnestly, by the diffusion of correct melligence among the men of maak and moral worth in every antiop, urge the necessity, with a heart like that of Heaton, to exclude this article of opium which so injures moen. If this cas be done, then may the citizens and peoplo all at tend to their own proper duties, and every nation may have harmony and prosperity, and mutually delight in unrural peace. Then the men of worth of every nation will have done righteously, and planted the seeds of happiness without end. This is my special reply to your letter. Wishing you every blessing.

The robbers were employed in a cruiser, which is permitted to exercise control over the native vessels trading with Hongkong, and if the crow are not amenable to our laws, they will rob and steal with impunity; not much to the credit of our government. We certainly concur in the opinion expresed by the Attorney General, that the precedent established by the court is a dan- gerous one; and though we would regret to sow privileges of the any encroachment upon government of China, we do not think that such would have been the case had the trial been allowed to go on. The prisoners are in some degree connected with the colony and the mere fact of their chasing a boat from within filly yards of an opium receiving ship until they captured and robbed the crew, in our opinion, brings them within the juris It was remarked in diction of the court. court, that of the seven men committed by the Magistrato and bailed out, one of the number was not there, another man taking his place at the bar. Surely this ought to be enquired inte, though, as usual, we fear it will be passed over without attracting further notice than a pawing remark in a newspaper. If any doubt exists ss to the correctness of this statement, it may be verified by a reference to the Inspector of police, who were in court, and, we believe, are ready to certify that a youth who was partion.

To the way of concession and of argument an the Oregon question, liule now remains to be sud or done by the Hritlab,Government. The strong. est desire has been repeatedly expressed on our mide to terminste this controversy. Our case has been stated with such moderation, and our chime confia- ed to auch narrow limits, that nothing but exlowmo presumption, or rather a species of tromle infatua - tion, of the part of the American Demoeris, coul? lead there to suppose we should make say torther abatement of our rights. We are in actual posses sion of rather more of the Oregon territory, than we have ever claimed as as our own, because as long as the joint occupation lasts the concurrent rigtu ci both partion extend over the whole country. have at our disposal amplu means of defending our rights. We had never, at any period in the histo. rg of thin country, less reason to recuil from a wat, or to fear the result of a centem with any Power, but more specialy with the United Sules.

PEACE IN DANGER.

{From the Spacistar.)

There are two kinds of war--that for aggression | and that for defenen. You must persuade the ag. gressor before you can speak to the defender. Preach arbitration, by all means-England will presch it loo, and will justify her preaching by her practice; but never let it be suppored that the only alternative for England is, arbitration or surrender. No nation in the world would ever consent to ar bitration with England in such a case. We have not yet reached that stage of civilization. You peacemakers have not yet so far accomplished your task.

The test of sincerity in professions of peace la the willingness to prefer arbitration to war. Not long hence. we believe, England will be willing to refer every question, freely, absolutely, entirely, without qualification, to rational arbitrement Foglod, who of all countries is really strongest in the resources of war. But if you ask Englishmen to throw the sword away in the face of the for, you not only outrage common sense-the strongest fastides of nature, self-preservation-but you make men revolt from peace self, and diminish your own numbers as far as fear of being at once defenceless and ridiculous can deser all but enthusiasts.

The territory and the Lown form a republic, under the protectorate of Austria, Russia, and Prussia. The Grand Duchy of Posen, which forms part of the Prussian mo narchy, has a superficies of 636 square geographi cal miles; population of 1,200,197, of whom 372,789 profites the Prussian Evangelical religion, and are chiefly Germans by origin and in language, There are 783,918 Roman Catholics, who are Dourly all Poles.

Marriages in England. →li appars, from very elaborate tables, prepared by the Registrat-General of births, de?th, and marriages, and su Tuesday lil bofore Parliament, that the total number of marriages in 1842, in England and Wales, wak 118,825 of these, 17,689 were in the metropolis alone. Of this number 28,198 wore persons who had been married before, the proportion being 15,619 widowera, and 10.579 widows Thus the proponion per cent of those who wore re-married was 11 02 for the whole of England, and 12,84 for the metropolis. The proportion of annual marria ges to persons of all ages was 1 in 130 in all Eng- land, 1 in 102 in London; the annual marriages were to the persone aged from 20 to 40, nearly an 1 to 40 in England, to 37 in the metropolia; or, more oxently, 2.515 per cent; and 2.675 (as regards London. There was, altogether, I marriage to every 10 males and ferasies living in 184%, but only 1 person married for the first time to 763 pet- sons living, which may be considered equivalent to I first marriage to 169 persons living; 1 per cent. of the persons married had been married be fore, and had been enumerated in the returor of previous years. In 1839, the number married out of 100,000 males was 1,625; and of 100,000 fema 16, 1.558; in 1840, 1,597 males, and 1,520 female; in 1841, 1,571 males, and 1,504 fomalos; and in 1842, 1,006 males, and 1,439 females. Thus, it will be perceived, there has been a yearly decrease during that period. The annual average has been, however, 1 in 64 males out of 100,000, and 68 females.

Convivial Blunders.—It is, or might have been, recorded in the opera of Josephus Molaris, that a person at a public dinner, who had drunk to the health of the Adelphi, which had been proposed in honour of the two brothers, the Duke of Wellington and the Marquis of Wellesley, but who, probably, imagined that the toast bad some relation to the "Health of Towns” commission, rose and propo- ood the health of his own quarter of the town, Cher ing Cross. Of the same nature was the mistake of the Mr. Toole of a former day, when the Lord Mayor, at dinner given to the French ambassa. dors, proposed the health of the three consuls.

We allude to the relations of the people of the uld world, amog high handed measures of putting an end to the themselves as well as with the states of the Naw beating of banbe by watchman, an old este- world

of police when cantering hislarso near the gap. We then ventured to suggest, that if there exist. ed any regulations, by which the police were impowered to stop parties cantering their hor ses to the eastward to the westward of the town of Victoria, that they be published for general information; and further that the limite within which canter is prohibited be made [public.

We have no desire to throw obstacles in the way of such municipal regulations as are called for in every community; nor would we support those who get them at defiance. Here, as else where, is necessary that the community be protected from rios and outrage of every des- cription, and in asking that a code of municipal regulations be mad? public, we wish to pro- tect the inhabitants from wanton outrage, the mad. without respect to persons it was with a for the off-noes first alluded to, was the Gene-inserted in the castinental journals of Europe, s perfect knowledge that Mr Wysosan had not broken any established regulation, that we ex- pressod a regret that he should have been an- noyed by a person, who its appears is the Bu... perintendent of police.

The 7th clause of an ordinance, which pas ed the legislative ouncil on the 96th Decem ber last, is as follows-

7th.-Every person who shall ride or drive on any footpath without obvious necessity; or shall ride or drive in a furious manner, or so as to endanger the life or limb of any person, or to the common danger of the passengers in any public road or thoroughfare; or who pa ing or meeting another hores or carriage, shall not keep to the customary side of the road, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding five pounds, This ordiasuce refers to the entire laland of Hongkong, not to the town of Victoria parti. cularly, and any ill disposed person, bringing | forward a complaint against his neighbour for galloping or cantering his horso in any part of the island, may have hun fined by a subservient Magistrate. The objecticnable nature of the law, as it now exists is abundantly evident, and in the person of a Stranger, we see how it publi.as been abused. Mr Wyesinan was sum

moased on a charge proferred against him | by the Superintendent of police, and fixed in the full penalty of five pounds, for cantering his horse near the gap, a locality which is used for that purpose by nearly every resident on the Island Whether such a procedure has not a telency to bring our local laws into contempl, we leave it for our readers to say. They will subscribe to our decleration, that Mr Wyseman has been fined for an offence (if an offence at all) which is committed by three fourths of the population; and that the existing law would enable a corrupt Magistrate to fine a man for galloping in the most retired part of the is land, wore any of our officials to bring for want such a ridiculous charge against him.

The return of Charles 11 restored the family entste to his elder brother, and the death of that gentleman in 1665, left it to Bir George, together with the batoneley, which the eminent loyally of his father bad morited from Charles I. Notwithstaning the alteration in hia worklly prospects, he still resolved to pursue the profession of the law, and was accordingly sdimitt- ed advocate on the 7th February, 1848, akhongh assuredly from no mercenary motives, if it be true

THE FRIEND OF CHINA AND HONGKONG GAZETTE. VICTORIA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19. 1415 The absence of matters requiring immediate observation, and a slight indisposition, will, we trust, be received by our readers as a sufficient sxcuse for our present issue.

A correspondent enquires whether a list of the names of the streets and roads has beca made public by the Government. We do not recollect having seen such a list; but if any of our readers can furnish us with one, we will publish it for general information.

The proprietors of wooccupied houses would require to have a watchman on the premiser. Of late, in several instances, thieves have car. ried away locks and hinges, breaking the glass windows and otherwise injuring the property. They do not confine their operations to the quiet hours of night, as we hear of doors and window sashes having been carried off during the day-this was in a retired part of the town.

It is said that in the event of the re- moval of the present incumbent, Sir George Gipps, recently Governor of New South Wales) is likely to succeed to the vacant ap- pointment of Governor of Hongkong. This sve look upon as a mero rumour, though such a Contingency is by no means improbable. Bir Beorge Gipps is too valuable a servant to be

·laid on the shelf; and be is too poor to return to the profession of arms, so long as a lucrative civil appointment is within his graep. Bir Ge. orge is a man of rare talents—his official pa- pers have always been remarkable for their perspicuity-as debater, he possesses great power,

man knows better how to

its ro

avoid, or glow over, the disagreeable parts ot a public oration. As a business inan his Ex- cellency is indefatigable—in manner and ap- pearance, be eminently possesses that diguity

which is usually attributed to royalty presentative. It has been alleged that Sir George was too apt to full?w the instructions from Downing Street, without reference to the requirements of the colony, with which he was better acquainted than either Lord Breoley, or Lord John Russell.

This is the fault of most military Governore, and to a mere Holdier of fortune, like Sir George Gipps, ?5,000 a year was a strong inducement to suc cub, when a mora independent toan would have taken a stand upon the duties of his office, not merely as representative of the Crown, but also us guardian of the interests of the people. However, Sir George is a clear headed practica! man; thornugly acquainted with constitutional law.and the established forms of colonial govern- iments. At present the chances of his succeeding Sir John Davis are so small, that it is yain t? speculate upon his qualifications-ultimately, we are inclined to think, that he will be appoint. ed to Canada, or some other of the most im portant British colonies.

The insolvent act may certainly be looked upon a step towards the customs of civilizel countries taken by our seni barbarous government, and had it been at an earlier period, some who are not, would have been in existence, and others who sul- fered long imprisonment upon claims, which were ultimately shown to have been incorrect, would have been at large, an! able to protect themetres from the hoary losses which were unavoidable to people transging their pursue's from the precincts of Jail.

Ju British colonies, the insolvent and bank rupt laws of Englan I are modified according to the In most of particular condition of the colony. them, the laws are partly blended, so that a person beco:ning insolvent,' is discharged by the Commin | soner of the insolvent court from all future liability.! We are not prepared to say that we should adro cate such an act here, though there can be little difference of opinion as to the wisdom displyed in protecting honest de'tors from imprisonment, as it in very certain that a Jail is not the place where they will acquire funds with which to discharge their 're- sponsibilties.

This Message elicited the recommendation of the War Secretary to augment the companive of the re- gular army from 69 to 14 men, and to give authority to the President to accept the services of volunteer companies, squadroos. battalions regiments, and States troops, for a term not exceeding one year, as the situation of the country might be such that, for the mere puspose of defence, these volunteer troops or militia, to the number, of fifty thousand, would be ugled. In reference to peace ablishment the Be efsary recommends two new regi1nents, in case tho proposal to increase the rank and file of companies should not be adopted, in addition to the troops pro- posed to be arisol to garrison the chain of posts to the Rocky Mountains.

I do not at leapt to explain or account for this: I have, how- ever, aot only frequently observed it, hat have heard my neighbours make the same remark.

zelle, March 27. · POSTSCRIPT. THREATENED WAR IN CAFFERLAND

A shocking case of murder and aggression by Kaffis, in cointed in the Graham's Town Journal of the 21st instant. In consequence thereof, and of various daring depredatione, all the military port have boon strengthened, camp equipage and stores have been went on, and the whole frontier military force ordered to be in readiness for imme diate edrance to the kraal of the perfidious Chiet Tola. His Hoper the Livst. Governor had cal- led upon the several Justices of the Peace abl Field cornets to be prepared to take such steps in the common cause of defence as they might be called opoo to do. The following are the particulars contained in the above named paper :--

"Four prisoners were sent ou l'unday from Fort Steaufort to Graham's Town, under escort of four Hottentots, each armed with a musket, and two rounds of bell cartridge. They had proceeded on their way to early, opposito Mr. Mildenhall's bouse, where they halted by the river side to take wOTING refreshments. While thus engaged they were sud- dealy surrounded and attacked by about 40 Kafes, armed with sanguis. So suddenly did they make their appearance that the Kaffics got possession of two of the sourt's gune, which wore lying on the ground, and fired them on the party, bu fortunately without effect. The rush whs so sudden nud violent, that all the four prisoners und two of the escort were driven into the river. A Kaffic had got one of the men down, when one of the escort, Who and recovered his gun izom a trop against which he had placed it, fired at him and shot bins dead on the spol. It is mid that the mine shut also wounded the Ku?ir prisoner. The Kaffir and Hollesial prisoners who were handcuffed togather, were dragged by the Kafire out of the river on the Kafiriand side. While all this was going on the sacort got together sed fled to Mildenhall's for pro- | tection, learing two of the prisoners, a European and a Houentot, struggling together in the river, nad in which they would probably both have been drowned had not the hand of the [fotiomol slipped through the handcuf, when they with difficulty got out, and also succeeded in obtaining on asylum at Mildenhall's. In the innan time the Kaffies having taken the two rescued prisoners a short distance, barbarously murdered the Hottentot, by cutting d? his hand at the wrist, which they terribly mangled, and by rabbing him in three places in the body, Having perpetrated this deed of savage butchery, the Kaffics threw the body into the river, Thai

they succeeded in effecting the release from the oustody of the civil power of this colony, prisoner committed to take' his trial for thefl, and ia mur- dering another defenceless individual under similar circumstances"

The Bi-Monthly Mail of the 1st February, arriv ed here on the 27th March, and that of the 17th Fo bruary, on the 20th instant. By ordere inued from the Admiralty, the laser Mail was despatched from China come days earlier than usual with the double intent of obviating the delay that had previously oc- curred in meeting the Calcutta mail at Ceylon, and also by an earlier arrival in England, to give all parties an opportunity of immediately answering have reason to think both these results have bern their letters by the outward Mail of the 24th.

The arrivals into Dock have comprised seven vessel at this Port, and six at Liverpool.

The Liverpool Market remains much in the same state as deveribed last month.

At Hamburgh, (wo vesse's have arrived from Chinn, and three others are expected the arrival's comprise together 7,926 packages, particulars of which will be found on our fourth page.

By the latest accounts from China, viz, up to the 27th February, received here on the 20th low, we learn that the Exports for February had been on a very limited scale; this had arisen from various cau | 900: the Chinese holydays had lasted longer than asust-buyers also were deterred by the gloomy accounts from this country, and freights were orcoed Junkingly high, my ?8 8 per ton, and tonnage scarce The prices of Coagon had been maintained, but al most all other kinds had receded during the month; a reduction generally of 2 to 5 tols being quoted. The Americans, who had previously purchased to a very limited extent, had come freely into the mar ket on the arrival of the Mail. and thus some classes of Green Teas were slightly enhanced in Talve.

We have been requested to publish the following documents a sequel in the correspondance between Mr Farren and the British Merchants at Manila A perusal of these papers will satisfy the reader, of Farren's incapacity far the office he now holds and cause regret that serramt of the Bri tish govenumrat should place himself in a position

Ab acquaintance with commercial affairs, would have told him that a Merchant's booke-ononos give evidence of the growth of the produce that pass through them ; and unless perfectly ignorant of commercial unge. he might have known that to demand inspection of more intile books is an insult of the most grom description.

We live and learn, and Mr Farren may profit by the lesson bo has received, and attend to the sim ple duties of his appointment, without evincing desire to make himself a person of importance by poding his countrymen in Manila to the greatest possible trouble.

RETURN OF DR. LEICHARDT.

We have the highest satisfaction in accouncing to our readers that Dr Luichardt has returned to Sydney, from his overland expedition to Port Es mington, having successfully achieved the objnet he had in view. For the particulars of the expedition we must relor nur resilers to the sharect to the Ductor's modeally written journal, which shows that the difficulties to be overcome were asither faw nor light, but with an energy and courage, rarely to be rost with be sucoseded in overcoming them all, and has the high honour of being the first man who crossed from the eastern to the western side of Australia. It will require a more careful parusal of the interesting journey than we have been a blod to give it in the short time it has been in our possession to enable us to enumerate all the advan. age likely to accrue to the colony, from the infor. mation which has been obtained, but there can bo no doubt that the knowledge that there is a largo quantity of good land between the Golph of Car pentaria unil the east coast will be the cause of the

Dr. Leichardt has done that which must causo his name to be enrolled among the benefactors of Australia, and we are sure that the colonists not be backward in showing that they appreciate the value of his services. (fa ought to ?? reward- ed both privately and publicly. The L-gislative Council ought to make him a present of ?800, and divide a similar sum among the parties who se companied him. The colonists ought also to nob- scribe at least ?500, so that Dr. Leichardt may be presented with ?1000. Eighteen dreary monthe have Dr Laichardt, and his party boso engaged in the task which they have performed, so that vary moderate salaries for that period will reach the a- ineunt we here named.

Mr Gilbert, who tell a vintim to the treachery of the blacks, was well known to a great number of the colonists, having been for several years employ. e-in collecting specimens of natural history for Mr Chould.

Mr. Welter has brought a new and most impor tant element of the war question hofore his country. men-an element which, in all probability, will decin the mauer. Mr Webaune demanded estima- tes of the cost of the warlike preparations, by which Mr Polk's policy must be supported. This was an exceedingly delicar subject for the warlike party. No amo at of declamation will place at troop of horse in the field; the money is she place where to stand for tho want of which the philosopher grieved. All the projects of bringing down, Bri- lith pride, and of annesing the remainder of Ame rick, must halt for the lack of a consolidated fund. Money does not exist to make the necessary props | rations; and hat is this deficiency to be made up? By laxation It is instructive to imagine what specks of government it might be which would have the courage to demand taxes of the people of the United States. Such a courage would assuredly destroy nil the supposed advantages of the great de Mocmey. The Americans have a government, which is shnost i fectual; its executive is weak, and its deliberative coune-I exhibit sceneo diaglace. ful la cirilication: but the charm of this gavein- ment is, that if it is bad, it is cheap.

Tha claim is supported by a threat of war, at a time when they are without an exchequer, dare not the their subjects, and when their foreign credit would not be able to victual a frigue,

Young democracies must, however, be amused ; and America, owing to its Anglo-Saxon descent, is by on means the most preposterous of juvenila tes p?blica. It is, to be sure, 'n subject of wondering which are allowed to pass in Amories for hoping fo overcome the English, Wolfe," any shop, took Conade, and why not we? The conclusion is very hurtindong. The suspiling troops in that day were British men, and their leader was Wolfe, and the defending troops ware those of France, when the days of Fontenoy had passed and the glories of the empire had not begun.

On Saturday last, an action was brought before his honor the Chief Justice at the instance of the boatmen employed in the service of the present Opium Farmer, against Captain Costes of the Bomanjee.

They now sought compensation for being illegally detained on board the Bomanjes, when they were captured and handed over to the Police Magistrata. The Chief Justice considered the detention was not justifiable, but show ed his conviction that the pursuers had suffered no great damage, and the defendant had been actuated by no improper motive by awarding damages of one quarter dollar. So far the case only deserves notice

On the result of the vota, being known, ■ ; message was immediately sent to the flouse of Re- presentatives, informing it of the Seasto's noncon currenes in the amendment. The Representatives | took the master up the same day. The first motion, that the house rocede from its amendments, Was negatived by a vote of 95 to 87, The next motion, that the house insist upon its amendments was of firmed by a vote of 0 to 93.

Since the foregoing, there is later news, The further advices from the United States are to the 2th of ?tay inclusive, by the Great Western, which, it is said, has brought a special messenger from the American Liovemment with the Oregon notice to Mr Laup, with instructions for its due delivery to the British Clovernment, "The form in which the no lice was sent," says the Washington correspondent of the Courier and Enquirer, " was to set forth the preamble and resolution as it passed Congress, and Then to sppand to it a formal notice on the part of the Government of the United States." Tho pro- credings of the House of Congress are entirely un- interesting. The Webster and Ingersoll Commit tees had sent into Mains for witnesses. The Ad- ministration party in Congress are slated to design an adjournment from the 31st May to the 1st of Oc tuber. The Union denies the statement, bowever. Relations with Mexico had amumed a more threatening aspect. The latest accounts from Rio Giraude state that Matamoras was blockade by Ge neral Taylor. Lieutenant Porter and three mon had beenshot by the Mexicans. Further desertions had taken place.

The community are aware of their position ? | and knowing from experience that they must protect themselves, they are about to organise an armed force, which in an emergency will be able in act systematically. The British part of the community have submitted to the British Consal their plan of operations, requesting that it receive official sanction. To their communien- tion no answer had been received on the 14th. and as it will require to be submitted in the milk and water government of Hongkong. (which has neither courage to act boldly, nor good sense to act prudently) we consider the step taken unnecessary, in so far as official support. or approval, is looked for. It is a law of nature, June. that we defend our lives and property when Mincked. Upon this musversally acknowledged principle, the community are safe to act, so long anthey act defensi~ely, and we approbend that there is no danger of their being the aggressors. In our last publication a Correspondent sug. gested soine thing of this kind, and we are told ibat it was in contin:nplation before the late rist.

By the Maid of Juipka from Foo-chow-foo, we have late advices from that port. Trade there is node, with the exception of limited sales lof oplum: nor does it appear probable that Foo-chow foo will be a place of commercial importance for many years. The only resident Merchant has abandoned the port. We hear that the parties who where plundered during the riots, are much displeased with Mr. Alcock, who has cut down their claims considerably, We are not in possession of the particulars, but we are told that the Consul has shown a greater desire to conciliate the Chinese, than at all comports with the dignity of the nation be re- presents.

By the Audar, we have letters from Shanghai to the 2016 June. Trade continged dull, and it was not considered that there were any immediate pro spects of improvement. Several Jusks that bad Atvivad reported that they had been pleadered and ill wood by Pirates in a square rigged_rostol, (u barque or ship) at the mouth of the Yang-isse- kong. The crew appeared to consist of nativos of various countri M. 8. Wolf sailed on the 930 to look out for the Pirate, and had not retur

The Benale of the United States passed the vote, empowering the President to give notice for terminating the convention with Grens Britain respecting the Ore gon. This role was accompanied by the natural wish, that it should be followed by "amicable * vet tlement. And the House of Representatives objects to the word "amioable". It rejected the ep?let, which is tantamount to voting, that it would prefer a settlement that was not amicable. If the sottle- meat could porably be accompanied by a row, or an outrage, or a collision, or a respectable destruc ton of life, then it would be a entisfactory settle- ment, because not an amicable one.

Nor can we bring ourselves to believe that those who have bitherto opposed the bill will intrepose any further delay by occupying the nights left open for privat motions, so that it is even probable that the divi sun on the third reading will take place on Tues day. If, however, Toesday and Thursday should be occupied by private motions, then we may ex- pect the division to be delayed un?l Friday, but beyond that day there is no probability of further postponement. In the former caso the bull will be carried up to the House of Lords on Thursday, or ?n the latter case, on Monday the 18th.

PAMENORRS per BRAGANZA-For Binge pore, Me J. A. Moin,—For Buss, Rev. Pere C Quillet

The Nematis being farthest to the South first caught the Typhoon, which reached her abomi 2 m. on Bunday the 29th. In the Instance of this Ship, Calenol Reid's theory is proved in a beauti fat meneer, and the regular retengression of the Wind from N.W. through the intermediate points to 38.E. is very reconskable, shewing that she must have struck the circle on the lower hub on ile On S.W. ndo, and have led it on the upper or N.W. sink, the wind then blowing from the $ 8.6. half of the circle of the whirlwind must have pared the ship before striking het, which it did in its 8.W. descent, whilst the course she was onabled to steer rough abe remaining half of the circle, was that which was most favorable for avoiding the onward course of the Typhoon, and of geting clear of its trak. The diameter of the circle through which she passed oppeuss not to have excred- Led-100 miles.

The Sirs being perhaps 100 miles N.W. from the position of the Nemesis, although in the direct track of the advancing Typhoon, was not apparently overtaken until 8 or 10 hours afterwards It seems to have struck Her less favorably than the Namasis, ami oko nonsequently appears to have suffered considerably more; for the must have been compelled to run several hours in the onward di rertion of the whirlwind, until in na rotatory descent from W. to 8. ad the consequent change of tho Wind to the N.W., and then in its uncent from 8 to E with the wind at B.Waho was enabled hy change of course atontually to get clear of its track. The observations of this read although de fective in several respecte, as regarda wind, barometrical observations &o, as far as they go, give the the fullest corroboration to the rolatory theory.

The Plat being about 60 miles to the North of the Siewe did not receive the first impression of the Typhoon until 4 hours later, when it had of course acquired secumulatal foren Pad xtent, unl thon striking ber on the ascending part of the gyrating circle, between the N.E. and N. making the wind East, the most unfavorable position for avoiding its track, she was drawn into the very center of itu vortex, as we have described in a former paper, and without the possibility of taking any other course than one which would keep her in the center of its track, until its whole fary had passed over her in all its terrific violence. The Vortex in which these two ships, the Pluto and Siewn, were thas entangled, (the Pluto being in its centre and the Siewn at the same times perhaps not more then 30 miles distant) appears to have been of less extent that 160 miles diameter, as far as een be de duced from the scanty data sforded by the observations of two ships only, one of them being defective. The direction of the Typhoon is clearly souriained from the combined observations of the 3 Ships, sis, their respective positione in latitude and leagitude, times of contrat do, to have been, as we bo- fare surmised, from E. to N. W. At the time the Pluto got clear, the Typhoon was driving with headlong violence towards tho northern extremity of Hainan. It would be interesting to ascertain with what degree of violence it was felt there, and on the neighbouring coast of Chips, and whether any recurve took place on its reaching the const, as is usually the case.

There is one point worthy of remark rix, the slow rate at which the Typhons progressed in ita direct course, compared with its rotatory motion. It is of course dimeult to obtain the precise times of contact-but taking them approximately as given above,—the rate is not more than 10 or 12 miles an hour in the fire, and about 15 miles in the second instance, when it may be supposed to have ac ?quired additional fores.

The Am. ship Natches from Canton to New York arrived at Table Bay on the 29th of April; and H. M. 8. Rinedors, Captain Hirtion; she appears to have been somewhat further to the South thao the Nemesis bark, her portion W. floste, sailed for China, on the 22nd April, being probably nearly the same during the Typhoon, and which uriking her in the same favorable manner, viz., on the B.W. quadrant of the circle (wind N.W.) she was consequandy able to clear it trek without injury.

The greatest depression of the Barometer was experienced on board the Pluto, being 245 Inches, arising from her being in the centre, which is in accordance with previous observation.

The following extracts from the Loge of two Ships overtaken by the late Typhoon, is the Chim Sea, in which the Plato Steamer, suffered so considerably have been obligingly forwarded to us, sad | pre proceed to lay them before our readers, with such deductions na may be drawn from them regned ing the extent and direction of the Typhoon.

The same remarkable retrogression of the wind, during a period of 18 hours, in which it gradually and regularly veered from the N.W. to the 8.8.E., is noted by this ship, as was experienced by the Nemerie back, at about the same time; affording additional confirmation of the correctness of the rotatory theory.

IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE. BALLY.-By the arrival of the Ariel, we have been favored with some important and highly into rosing intelligence, for which we are indebted to Captain Hodgson. By this opportunity we are re- lieved from the suspense in which we have for some time been kept, by not receiving any news from the ment of war.

A desperate battle, called the brule of Bally Be elaling, was fought on the 28th of June The Bali. Dese having well fortified their front by means of Bom- coon. Cocos put trees and earth, made shot proof, con. sidered themselves secure from any attack on that side. A regular cannonading was kept up from the Dutch ship-of-wer from an early hour in the mor ning which is said to have been most destructive to the enemy. The Balinese returned briskly the fire from their fortifications. Concealed by the smoke and under cover of the gun from the Dutch Corvelle, the Dutch landed and attacked the Balinese in their rear, which was left comparatively unprotected A desperate struggle succeded. The Dutch and the Balinese are reported to have fought bravely. A Javanese Captain, in the Dutch Service, the Rest to mount the ramparia, was killed.

The or- periment however is a dangerous one. From various causes a considerable portion of the foreign residents of Canton prefer Macao to Hongkong as a place of residence during the

We have been a little startled by pary, graphs referring to the trade, and the trg. ders of China, which lately appeared in some foreign papera This is a subject, however upon which we cannot entor to-day, but we may consider it our duty to return to it before the departure of the August Mail.

A friend has sent us the following copy of a Cir- cular issued by the Consul si Amoy, requesting us at the same time to call the attention of our Con temporaries in the Straits to the subject, as many of those who are naturalized British subjects in that quarter are probably not aware of the necessity of enrolling themselves in the Consal's Books.

His Excellency the Governor returned in the Vulture on Runday; having visited Foo-chew foo, Chusan, Ningpo, Shanghai, and we believe Amoy. We are not sorry that Bir John Davis is again at the head of his government, as from the state of affairs existing in Canton, it is ad- visable that the accredited Representative of Great Britain to China, should c?t be far from the provincial city, and we believe that his dipkimatic powers cannot be deputed to the' Lieutenant-Governor of Hongkong, even sup- posing that they would be in able hands, which is at least questionable.

The changes at the Consulates, onnsequent upon instructions from the foreign office, will be nearly as follows.

some measures for penishing them.

Our Contemporary of the Friend of Chi, To marks that we appear to admire the liberality of the New Governor of Macao. So far as regards the pro- posed income tax upon the inhabitants, we certainly do not. It is not only a great deal too high, but in its very nature inquisitorial and offensive, and will go for to counteract his other measures and deter wathy individuale from settling there. The land tax of ten per cant is not greater than is paid in Hong kong under the form of rent, with the addition of 67% per cent for Police mien, and we have good reason to beliare other five per cent were intended for us under the name of road and bridge money Whether this and the proposed excise upon wine and beer have been die allowed at home, or if “those in authority over us," find they have already done mischiafenough we know not. Their measures however have been sufficient to justify us, we consider, in maintaining that our neighbours have shown a greater degree of jborality, which is the point of view in which we? have ever considered it. Their program for a con- kiderable time has been from a narrow and exclusive syam towards freedom and liberality, though there are various points on which we do not consider the best measures have been adopted. O progress on

the other hand has been from a free port in reality, to oppressive and ruinous restrictions. We need only allude to the Ordinance for exacting securities from Consignees of Vesult, which for a time made several of the Firme here refuse to accept of that office for remels consigned to them. The Registra tion Ordinance would have excluded our own coun trymen from residing haes unless like degraded Fel. ons they obtained a ticket of leave to enable them to do so. While the Opiam Firm bids fair to prove just as effectual, if more slow in its operations in driving away those whose presence alone can benefit the Colony; which the other taxes propo-ed if they had been enacted would have completed in a still Impre summary manner.

**! While we agree therefore, with our Contemporary In his strictures upon the inexpediency of the income x proposed at Mneno, we are not thereby deterred from eying that as compared with our Government hare their manautos at? liberal, and at the worst, however oppressive their taxation may be prove, they have the aliafaction of knowing that it in volf im- pesad.

His Excellency the Governor embarked yester day evening on board H. M. ateamer Drier, for the Bay of Lalands. He afterwards proceeds to Moegeoui and Kaitaia by son, returning to the Bay of Lalande overland, for the purpose of mailing soure dispute concerning the land par?based of Nopeca at Monganui, on behalf of Goronment.

Our contemporary appears to have got his ideas a little confused." With permission, we will endeavour to disentangle them. When he first talked of the liberality of the Macao go- vernment, it was in connection with the financial scheme of 10 per cent assesment, and 10 par cent income tax. The wildest of the financial measures of our Barratarian Legislators never approached an income tax of ten par cont—17 THEY COULD chain the Manchakte to THE

and Ireland in Parliament assembled: The Petition of the Undersigned Merchants, Bankers, Manufacturers, Shipowners and others Interested in the Trade of Glasgro. Humbly showeth, That while your petitioners hailed with the most lively satisfaction the theatres tonding to freedom of trade, which were submitted to parliament by her Majesty's ministers at the opening of the present session, they have, in com mon with all parties engaged in trade, been subject to heavy loss and embarrassment in consequence of the delay that has ensuod in carrying thera measures through the legislature, and of becoming the law of the land.

That your petitioners feel imperatively called upon to orave the sitation of your honourable house to the alarmingly deficient supply of colonial and free labour sugar.

the booded warehouses, and in the bands of the That while the mocks of sugar and molasses in

sugar refiners, and all classes of dealere, may fairly be estimated at forty thousand como las than the corresponding period of last year, and consequently prices extremely high, it has been ascertained, and La fully believed by the best informed parties, that the produce of the present crop of sugar from the Was India colonins, will fall thirty thousand tona short of last year, while but a small portion of those deficiencies is likely to be made up by increased importations, either of colonial or free labour sugar from the st.

That under these circumstances, your petitioners are respectfully but decidedly of opialon, that the only way of supplying the consumption, and main taining the revence, is to admit all sugar and mol- asses, the growth of Cuba, Brazil, and other count- ries, at the reduced scale of duties upon which it la proposed to admit free labour sogar and molasses; otherwise the revenue on sugar and molasses, dur ing the current ymr, will fall short of last by allenat half a million pounds sterling, in consequence of the deficiency in the supply.

May it therefore please your honourable houso to take the sugae duties into early consideration, with a view to a speedy and final smilement of this most important question.—.

And your petitioners will over pray.— (Economist, May 16.)

THE SUGAR DUTIES. Minch intermat is now attached to the coming dia- | rumion on the suger duties, in consequence of the deficiency in the West India crop, and the great reduction of the stocks On Saturday last, it will be seen by our weekly table; the stock of West India sugar was reduced to 3,009 tons against 11,997 tons last yone; 1but of Eust fadia sugar to | 9,834 tons againe 18,749 tons last year; and that of Maurition sugar to 7,369 tone against 9,315 tons last year; the entire stock being on Saturday fast, 20,205 tons against 34,261 some last year. But at the same date in 1844 and 1843, the soaks were still smaller. The deficiency in the West India drop in variously estimated, but by all admitted to be considerable.

MINERAL WEALTH OF SOUTH AUBTRALIA.

It is not quite four months since we announced that a special survey of 20,000 acres, in a rich mineral country, had been incurred by the eater- prising colonists of South Australia.

That survey has been denominated the Burra Creek (the very big creek), and one portion of it is called "the Monster Mine" So very industrious have been the fortunate proprieters of that half of the burray, and so plentiful the ores, and withal so easily procured, that they have engaged freight for five hundred tone, and had that quality at Port Adelaide ready for shipment by the 10th of De cumber leat. Comparatively few hands have been al work to procuring that Immeass quantity of ore, and these men have been employed rather as quar- riers than as minero.

By the arrival of the Taglioni, the first wogl skip of the moon, which sailed on the 10th of De cember, information has been received of another special survey of 20,000 acres having been applied

The manager of the Boath Australian Company, who withdraw so hansemely from the competition for the Burra Barra Creak survey, has succeeded in scoring for the Company 19,000 acres in the second survey. It is skaate in the Mount Barker district, only about 36 miles distant from Adelaide, and is described as preeminently rich in copper ere. Indeed the mystery is, how much a counity, so situate, could have so long escaped observation,

The geological description, which wo kavu soon, furnished by a gentleman woo traversed the cous- try, and in whose account the simast confidence may be placed, la most wonderful.

The extent of the mineral lands, the richness of the oens, and the regularity of the lodes are, wa believe, unexampled.

The following is an extenet trom that description, and has been truuumitted no giving a loss favours- ble view of the ones than the f?ste would bevo | warranted.

"As soon as we commenced an examination of the hills in question, it became evidont that wa were travelling over one of the most perfect and beautiful displays of the traprock formation.

Proceeding in a northerly direction, we found a continuous outcrop of mixed copper ores accom paoying the ridges of quartz, and increasing regu iorly in richte to the end of the hill, where, at the break of one of the steps, a magnificent display ol copper oros (the green sulpbaret, the blue carbon. ate, and the red oxide, mired in rich profusion) wit posed in soe great mass of 60 or 70 tons, peo troding boldly in the glare of light, as if it stood Inzth perposely to indicate the enormosa value of the district.

?Taking our bearings from this rock of copper one, we aw the continuation of iw fode cropping out grundly at the opposite side of the valley. where, for a considerable distance, it protrude "Baptism'of the 'vevontulers | above ground more than three foot high, and exhi Borned his Highland Mary,Smugglers@omrelling; | bited the very richest qualities of ore; but we then perceived that the hills in every direction were so and a variety of other Engravings dia.

completely filled with copper ores that it would be imposible (in writing) to particularise the various lodes, or to convey any adequate idea of the profuse display of mineral wealth by which we were sur- sounded.

"In one place (nearly due west of the great ridge, efore last mentioned) we looked at the brow of an abrupt hill, and found that it presented high masses of sed vaide of copper, containing from 35 to 60 per cent. of metal; at another place (Joost of it, and only distant about 20 pares) we found a continuous outcrop of gray sulphuret of ecpper, mixed with patches of red Szyde, extending north and south (or nearly so) as far as we had oyportunity to trace it. And again, going east of this last named lode, we struck another, similar in character, and running parallel with it; indeed, the profusion of lodes, the regularity of their direction, and the extreme richness of the ores they comafu, were ulterly astonishing!

"We lingered long at this wonderful smphit. heatre of expronus hills, and then proceeded agzio in a northerly direction, intending to trace the extent of the lodes in their magnetic direction; and, after travelling over the mountains more than four miles, our highly-excited expectations were not in any degree disappointed or abated, for we found at almost every step confirmatory evidence that the innumerable lodes of copper were cou tinuous throughout the range of hills, from south to north; and that the quality of their component cree was maintained at namely a uniform degree of richoc, far as our examination wen.”

It is deserving of mutice, that this recently dia -covered mineral country is due south of the Burra Burre Mine, and the Kapunda Mine (Memes. -Bagot, Dulter, and Ca's

The former plea wo have already disposed of. It would ill suit the temper or understanding of the present day to us- sert that religious creed noe le any sort of penal compulsion, or that religious feeling can be foster red by such means. The Lord Chancellor is, at this very time, engaged in pashing through Par- liament one among a long sarise of montures be ginning with the repeal of the Test Acts and ending In some indefinite ficture, to free religion from the odium of such corrupt and barbarous aide. There is no distinction, except that of degree, between compulsion of creed by Smithfield fires, and the telling an man that if he does not believe cortaid things be must be ontlawed. The requirement is palpably absurd; for belief can only be produced by two things—the feeling of Gith, and reason; and to create belief, an appeal lies only to those two things. Opinion ought to be absolutely free, with out roserve or qualification—free to entertain and to discuss; and it is a reproach to our country that moral subjects it is less free in England than it is in other countries. To deny that position is any degree, is to assert the infallibility of mas; to at- tempt the enforcement of creed, is to do the same thing as that which was resented in the Holy In quistion of the Roman Catholic Church. There is in all religious classes a disposition to erect their own Popes and Inquisitiona's and while Mr. Jardino's questionable law remains uncorrected, there is an English Inquisition in Bow Strom. politic obstinacy with which ouths are retained in our legal proceedings. In the law court, the oath is used solely for human purposes, and there can be no implety in effecting such purposes by simply buman meaRD. On the contrary, many will hold that the abatinonen would prevent frequent desocre jan, Da human groande the oath is not essen. necessary. Those persons who would be most sensible of the obligation, are thin wall die- posed, and with them a feeling of civil duty would prevail so far as to elicit teno e??d^ace. The al- fishly cautious would be influenced by the immediate mundane penaltice for peruty; the very existence of which confesses the inefcancy of the outh. If some join to vicious inclinations not a true rover. enco but a superstitions regard for the oath, it be comes a question of policy whether the hold over that class of witnesses in not purchased too dearly, by retaining the feat at the expense of so many einbarrassments The case before us distimetly rises the goestion, whether it is better to punish religious inbidelity by legal proscription, or to nove a needless legal from which provokes such ugly and profitless contests. - Specinier, May 9.

"CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS LIBERTY." A trial assault on at Bow Street Police Court, the other day, raised an important question as to the freedom of religious opinion, with a still more im. portant question as to the limits of legal protection for the person of the subject. A newspaper reporter appeared to prefer a charge of asmult against an- other; de complainant was just about to be sworn, when he was naked by the defendant's counsel whe-on ther he believed in the book which hu beld; and when he replied that he did not, the Magistrato se fused to accept either his oath or his testimony. Further questioning elicited a fact still more repul sive to the general feeling, that the complainant doubted the existence of a God-he is an "Atheist' The Magistrate seems to have entered upon a sum. mary coure of exhortation in order to convert the sceptic; but without say result; and the aggrieved party was dismissed with coaturely. I is to be borne in mind, that he did not volunteer any assor tion of his opinions, but that the avowal was extorted. According to this judgment, then, a mua'e opi- Lions on the subject of religion may subject bim to such degree of civil disability as to deprive him n? the protection which the law profos to extend to all citizens. It is generally supposed that any of fence makes the offender liable to a specific penaltially sy; bat according to the Bow Street dictum, there are general penakies for this particular nonconfor- anity.

bserve, the merits of the amault cas, of which both Magistrate and public are in perfect ignorance, have nothing to do with this larger question of law The question is not whether the Atheist was right or wrong in the personal dispute, but whether he cao enter a court of law and cluien personal prolec. tion. The question concerus many more than the very small number of persons who think or call themselves Atheists.

Nor, in strict reason, can the merits of the par ticular creed be taken into account. The law can not enter into controversy with the Queen's subject cannot admit him to polemical defence of his the oretical proposition, but issues a broad decree on cortain mullers of fact. Could the law controvert opinion, the Atheist's position is one of peculiar weakness: he casta c?atempt upon your arguments to prove the axisence of a tiol, because he holds thom to be insufficient; and he himself asteris the negative of that proposition, counter-proposition mifenly impossible of logical proof. But the merite of the logical question are excluded from the process of law, and therefore we cannot allege then against the recusant.

All for which the law is competent to regard re- ligious sentiments in auch cases, in the moral test which they are presumed to afford of credibility in the witness. It is to be noted, too, that the law cannot ascertain the belief on which the presumed credibility is founded; it can only ascertalo the pro- fessed conformity of the person wasler expiation.

On the 9th all was quiet in the neighbour- hood of the Factories. The Volunteer corps was to bo mastered, with their arms, on the afternoon of the 10th. The force is to be duly organised in three divisions, and it is to be hoped that it will be fit for any emergency. Orders have becu sent to England for 300 Carbines and viber arms.

We find we have been to a certain extent

no charge will be made upon the Poor. Our romarks were certainly written more with re ference to what was the feeling in England when the income tax was imposed there and where books and accounts could be called for, then from an examination of the new ordinance. By paying thirty per cent upon the rent, this intorfarenco with private business is avoided, and as rents in Macao are comparatively low the tax is not so oppressive as it would be in Hongkong. With all allowances howover it the neces. is heavy and can only be justified sity of the case. A Macan still retains a con- nderable trade in rice. Straits Produco, &c. which cannot fail to be benefitted by the repeal of the custom-house duties, we hope Governor Amaral, will be soon onable to reduce the precentage considerably, and at the same time, by omitting all reloreuce to income, remove the principal objections to a measure which though the most judicious means of raising a revenue, will be at all times unpopular with the rate payers-Hongkong Register, August 11,

We do not see that we are at cross pur poses" at all. Our opinion as to the docree was clear from the first-it is an attempt to relee revenue, the burden of which will fall upon Foreigners who may venture to reside in Macao. At the modified rate, the tax will be simply 40 per cent on the house rent-but there is no security for oven this limitation. We confess we did not understand what opinion the Register had formed, as it appeared difficult to reconcile such enormous tax, with the li- berality which was linkd up as a pattern for the Government of Hongkong; but as the re- marks referred to, it now appears, were pena-H. ed before the write: had seen the document, we may suppose that the he bad no very clear notions upon the subject.

The Register defers to the opinion of a "Friend," who states that the houses of the poor will not be assessed. As the property of The Church is also exempt, the burden will therefore fall upon a very small number of the nativo population.--

(Eorron F. of C.)

(From the Boletim de Governo.) The Governor of the Province of Maceo, Timor, and Selor, in Council determines na lollows.—

(hold it it, in virtue of the law of 2nd May, 1849, to determme that Foreigners be permitted to bay or build houses, and possess any ground in Staen, paying to the publie Treasury a quil-rent of half a-cent for each sqnara cavid Portuguese of all the ground they possess. The authorities to whom the cognisance of this belongs, have thus agreed and enacted.

Joa? Manta FuaRUTHA DO AMARAL,

The Governor of the Province of Macan, Timor, and Balor, in Council determines as follows:-

Considering that the duty of five mace per Tan which the vessels anchored in the Type have paid is excessive, it is judged proper to enact as follows: 1. Native and Forign wesels which heretofore were obliged to pay five mace porton in the aneh ?r. age of Typa. shall from this date pay one mace per ton.

2. This duty so reduced shall be paid only by ressels that remain more than six days in the Typ

3. This anchorage duty shall be sufficient for one year, to be reckoned from the date in which the vessels anchors for the first time in the harbour.

4. Thus, as by the preceding article vessels which have once paid tonnage dues, may enter and depart freely for the space of a year; in the same manner romels, which within one year outer and leave the barbour oftener than once, shall be obliged to pay duty for that year, when the sum of the days they have remained at anchor shall exceed six. 5. No tonnage dues shall be paid by.

4 1. Vessels whether Native or Foreign, not ex- ceeding one hundred tons.

$2.8hips that have paid in the river of Macao, for the space of a year from the time they auoker. ed in the first pori.

§ a. Venols having a cargo entirely of rice,

4. Vessels that enter having suffered great damas

ge, for the whole time they are emplyed in repairs.

& Steam vesela employed in conveying Pas. sengers between Hongkong, Canton and Alacno.

The authorities to whom the cognisance of this belongs hare so judged and decrood.

The fault is not in any fodividual Minister, nor in the British Government generally. With per haps the exception of lord Melbourne-and his Lordship's bowlade on this head, like a similar un lucky expression about the Corn-laws, may be fairly allowed to express moes then he meant - English Ministers have, as a body, been ready enough to recognise the claims of intellectual omi- nence.

In the case of goods, the delay occasioned by the removal of box from one set of trucks or cases to another might be less; but still there would be delay, and with it risk of missending. Ja military operations, where colarity is all in all, the appreciable disadvantage of the least possibe delay is more sevaibly felt. All these de. vices are mere palliatives; at best they diminish merely, they do not remove, the mischievous effects of divetany of Zange. The question is rained, why subject m?rtelves even to this diminished inra venience what is gulood to compensate for it by a diverity of gauge?

THE RAILWAY GAUGES. The evidence collected by the Gauge Commis- sion is conclusive on two points,~ that a uniform gauge in indipenashle; and that of the only two gauges mapecting which there ran Le any question in this country, the narrow one is entitled to the pre ference. 'T'o the experiments littlu importance cau be attached: they were imperfectly made ; and even had they been more complete, they couki base prov. nothing. The only trustworthy experiment is the continuous experiment of the actual working of Jines day after day.

Uniformity of gauge i indispensable. On this puild the evidence of Air Wyndham Harding in the mast important. He more than any person bas had opportunities of noting the consequences of a boak of gauge. From his connexion with a rail. way composed of two originally independent lince, constructed one on the broad and one on the nat row gauge principle, his ntention was constantly called to the inconvenistica and annoyance occa Kioned at their junction. His testimony is corro- posted by Mr Horse, one of the greatest carriers in Europe, and by Mr Hayward, manager for

A false stop was taken by the Legislature when diversity of gouge was first toleriod. That step must be retracted. Every year allowed to elapse without this being done will sold to the difficulty, by extending the mileage of railway to be changed, and the value of the property which must be in part sacrificed in the alteration. The Legislature, the accredited neent of the nation, was a party to the original fault; the nation-the general community -is the party to be benefited by enforcing unifor muty. The broad gauge railways are entitled to compensation for any loss they may sustein by their compulsory change; but change they must-Ibid

This doctrine must be as applicable to furciga nemies as to those who nako war upon society at home.

PUNISHMENT OF DEATH. The advocates of the abolition of the punishment of death cum nit the mistake described by lawyela as that of "proving too much." Their rotuning, carried fully out, would come to the conclusion that there should be no punishments at all. They say murders are perpetrated notwithstanding your bar- There is a great fallacy in the illustration. Wo should not put the wild beast to death, because its barous executions; therefore, your punishment is useless, and do away with it.

The whole question lice in the "If you can." violence of every kind?

As for passion, it scorns your forms of law, your Jud ges, and your executioners. (Cheers.)

(Cheers Lord Bacan truly mys there is no passion in the mind of man so werk as not to make us master the fear of death."

We regret to find so really superior a man as Mr Fox falling into this Jack Shepparil strain; for the eloquence, such as it is, does not excuse the glowing picture of revenge, carmined and chat coated for the Cobourg stage.

The feat of imprisonment, and the fear of exile are not of a force in prevent a great amorus of crime, but they are of a force in prevent a grond deal more that would have existence without them; and so we believe it to be with the punishment of death; it cannot completely prevent acts of blood, but it has

British Consulate,

Canton, July 3rd 1840. Galaxes,—I have received your representa tion dated the Suth ultimo.

In the first place I must obeorre, that 1 have no reollection of many of you having, os alleged, in diridusily brought to my notice, on many occasions, the grievances of which you complain. Only once, when I was present at a monthing on the Church question, can I call to mind having been addressed on the subject; and my reply then was that on a proper official representation being addressed to me, I would do what I could to obtain redress

Until the present time, however, no such repre- sentation has been received by me,

From the letter now before me it would appear that the Gardens and thoroughfares between them are dalland nightly thronged, by Chinme beg- guns, Showment &o &ca, and that heaps of fikh are thrown there from the neighbours houses, so as to render access to the River almost impracticable.

Chi. As far I can perceive, or team all such. nese Itineranta are excluded from the gardens and the avenues in front them, in accordance with the 4th article of the Regulations promulgated by the Chinese authorities on the 29th September 1814, besides which Gate-keepers are placed at the Ro-trances to the Flongs to keep them out: conso quently I cannot but consider you statement of these particulars as a receptible of considerable mitigation. see how they can, for the provost, be prevented from As regards the sailors from your ships I do not crossing the garden in going to and from the Car den; but I will take the subject into immediate con sideration, and shall be happy to receive any sug. gortions that may present a feasible remedy for the

I. M. Ships Agincourt, Dedalus and yaliz arrived from Borneo on Thursday afternoon. From a Singapore paper we have extracted a minute account of the opera times at Borneo Proper. Whether the Sul- tan will profit by the punishmen; he has re- ceived remains to be seen. We fear however that the inere destruction of a few forts and villages will not add to the security of Mr. Eriko's mattiment a Barawak, The Sulan and his followers are at large, and with the spirit of Malays, they may sacrifice prudential considerations to a feeling of revenge for the Josses they have sustained,

After sailing from the river Bruni, the ship visited Maluda bay—the recue of last year's operations-but not a creature was to be seun, the herde having to doubt removed to some other point on the coast of Buraco, or on the Tadjacent Islands.

PROBABLE SU-PENSION OF APELIS PAYMENTS. highly probable that the banks here, and throughout According to all appearances it seems to be

the country, will suspend spacis payment in a short time, probably before or after the middle of summer. It is well known that the Wall street journal,live and exist in the confidence of the banks in that - strent, and that the sentimena which they put forth, and the purposes which they reveal, come from the bank parlors of the various institutions in that quarter. Since the sub-treasury bill passed the House of Representatives by a large voin, making it incumbent on the government to collect all its dues mad customs in gold and silver, there has been a considerabla efferrescence, and a great amount of feeling among the banking institutions; and this has excaped by the usual safety valve, by their organs in Wall street, and throughout the country. By the same journals, it is now mid that the sub- Trentury bill will pars the Senate, in the same shape in which it passed the Ito. If this be correct→→→ and the banks and newspapers would not promul- gato such facts, if they were not true - we may ex- pert, in the catre of the mimmer, as a matter of necessity, the gradual and final suspension of spece payment by the banks in New York, and throughout the country.

The operation by which this new condition of financial affaire may be brought about is very ap parent. An apprehension will prevail umang the banking institutions and the depositors that the go- vernment, sa soon as the law pom the Bounte, will carry that law into immediate effect, by dealing all bunk deposita, dues and custuna, to ho po?l la gold and silver. The friends of the bank will, therefore, take time by the farelcek, and in the same ratio no this demand will merense, the banks the govermentisek wil naturally take alarm; and

which certain charges were preferred against Mr Webster, connected with his conduct on the Aab- burton argociation and the case of McLeod. These charges were repented by Mt Dickinson in the Benato, and on Monday last Mr Wobstar commen end his reply—a reply which has satanished the whole country, and which is anid by his friends to annihilato his antagonista. Ingersoll now comes forward in the House, and calls for several papers, letters and other documents, in the Department of Stata, in order to sustain his charges, which motion has been sanctioned by the House-all of which bas produced a feeling of bitterness and excitement that may lead to various other matters and deval. opements hereafter.

A gmat curiosity has been formed, to know what the nature of the charges against Mr Wolater may be; and our Washington correspondent, for the first time, discloses what their character is expected to be.

vention of the nuisances above mentioned.

To accomplish this will require either the cons tom interference of an officient police, or that the vacant eruend be enclosed with a wall or good high miling, and when we consider the professed wm of authority of the Mandarios in controling the populace and the great dauger which mum arise in the ense of a fire breaking out within the Facto nes from the existence of such a gathering place for a mob it becomes the more necessary to take some peocasionary mossures; and as the clearing of the ground may be assumed a matter of right we de bink they might readily accede to the additional measure of railing in, as it involves so intorfurence with private property and will at once free them frum colorable degree of responsibility by adding to the safety of the foreign community.

On the East side of the Public garden a nearly similar nuisance exists in the space formed by thu cominuation of blog Long, and for the removal of this, we would propose forming a paved passage close to the Eastern wall of the public garden on to confine the pussage from the river to a width of phout eight fer. This would not in the loss in tore wat the right of thoroughfare and would tirely prevent the gathering of mob or any of the Fisting nuisances which are the same as those on | the West side already describol.

A part of the space so acquired might be appo- inted to the crews of skip's boats some provision for which is absolutely necessary to make; and by uning a bridge over the new passage and the aving a private communication between the Old and New Factories, the gates opening into Hog Lage might be kept closed which would stop the cuting thoroughfare to Chiness and growly increase the privacy and quict of the foreign residences.

We beg to and you herewith a sketch of the grund from which the nature of the contemplated improvements will be more clearly understood Te the expenses attending them we of course wish no evesibation from the Chinese and we should uleo (de prepared to make any ressonable compensation to shoer squatters who have built boothies or sheds be Mech the two gardens, as on the occasion referred at the carmenecinrat of this letter you stated that the only objection raised by the local authorities to the enclosure of the waste ground in question, was reluctance to subject them to the loss of money spent in the erection of the huts above mentioned.

The Wolverine now at Whampoa and I understand placed at your disposal, cannot send us as you are well aware, any assistance in a shorter time than 10 or 12 bours, and I therefore hope that you will see the necessity of placing her in a position moro likely to be of service to H.

(Bigord] A. CAMPBELL,

"Chairman of the Commities.

British Consulate, Canton,

31st July 1846 Sir-1 received your letter of yesterday's dato, ?n which after stating that you have reason to believo that an opportunity in only wanting to induce the Chinese to rent their houility and to make a more for midable attack on the lives and property of the Fo reign Community than has yet occurred, you enquire, as Chairman of Committee of British Merchants, whether any menentres have been adopted by Her Ma- jesty's Government in this Country for the duo pro-

taction of British subjects.

In a circular I addressed to British Merchants on 9th Instant I stated that Her Majesty's Government "Imperatively, require that the Chinese Authorities "abould not be interfered with la repressing the via- **Imoa of the moh, unless they themselves should re- "quire our amlstance." This restriction applies to any force from British vemels of War. Though on the evening on the 8th the Authorities were somewhat tardy 7 in despatching assistones to the Factories, It is wet therefore to be inferred that they have not the wil or the power to protect us.

Lat. Became the tumult la quelled by their later- ference and Authority, the place being perfectly quiet at this memens, and

godly. Because from 200 to 300 soliliers are station. ed in places around the factories to pemerva ile post, and these at night are joined by runners attached to the District Magistrate

Neither should it be inferred from the elreumstance you relate of an attack upon some American Gentle imen In a creek on the opposite side of the River that any feelings of animosity more than common, setustos the_popalace at large, for the attack in question is by no means an isolated come of the klad, but one of s veral to which various parties have had to submit at all times, in places bat little frequented by Foreigners, where the Ugnorance of the rabble is apt to magnify the evil report which has obtained ag?lost us since the disasters which befel them during the war.

In order to test the disposition of the people, and to decide upon the conflicting reperta current tarpeeting ?t, 1 v?lked list evening with Mr. Jackson in all dis rections in the back streets for nearly an hour and balf, attentively observant of the gestures and behaviour of the people, and do not hesitate to state that I never observed on any other occasion, less manifestation of dialike, or revengeful fadinga.

As already stated to you. I have made the local. An thorities fully aware that Foreigners in general were combined froutual protection on the evening of the 8th. Considering the readiness, with which they cams to our assistance in repelling the attack of the rioters on Mr. Church's propisan, when they might have con- fined themselves willin their own wall for their own protection, 1 fear it might appear ungracious again to remind the Governor Umeral of their participation In the dister which succeeded, more especially so there can be no doubt of his thorough knowledge of 11.

aboring evolve insity as orged by you for anchoring Wolverine in front of the factories

or in the Macro Passage, 1 must premise that the 10th article of the Supplementary Treaty suficiently indi- cates the anchorage of the Port and the purpose for which the presence of a vessel of War was stipulated for while the latter part of the same article clearly express the necessity of caution against exciting misgivings among the people. Although it is probe- bly as well known to the Chinese Authorities as to mirselves, that the Wolverine" has been sent to Wlampen in consequmes of the recent disturbance, it is never bellas obrious to my miod, that her sudden

luitering about our houses, diguided here by the name of Soldiers, would be utterly unable to repress any distur bance which lebt suddenly arise.

Her Majesty's Government desires that the Chinese Au thorities should not be interfered with. It can surely be no laserference that in thelissence our Force should act. Barely Bir experience has amply shewn the eficacy of a disciplined body of won timely called in and frmly dis rected,and how lainestable ho've been the consequences of neglecting the natursuppression of the most tru?ing dis. turbamens, and yet it is thougtu prodent so rely on Chinese kid, which I must again remind you on the orming of the Rich was more than 3 hours in reaching us, and which the long and bitter experience so many of our members hav hed ofsimilar scenes luforms them has never been afford- ed except in the samma culpably dilatory manner. I can. not think your inference of the good disposition of the pre- ple towards Foraiguars borne out by the feet of yourself and Mr Jackson haring walked out in the back streeta samolested You might doubtless have done the same kalf an hour bu?bes ille Church's house was broken into on the 6th Joly, or the Factories fred in December 1949. It has never b?da alleged however that we could not with fory leave our Elon?m that an attack was inevitable, all that has been entertad is, that an attack may at any mo- be made, that a fatal disturbance many thence arise. ment be and that the Chinees Government will not, or candos, of bo not check such disturbances in proper time, and that they are of tregnant occurrence can hardly be used as an argus mani agafast the adopting of measures to prevent their end. ing in the fatal consequences to be apprehended from the violence of a furionu mob whose pansions you admit to be exasperated against us. You seem to have misunderstood my allusion to the Chinese Authorities having entirely cleared over the participation of all Foreigners in the a@afr of the ith, I believe these is no British Subject here whe at all dest?ns to evade his share of the responsibility of the severy bol necessary measures then res?rted to; but Bri- tish internets requien that our countrymen should not be diously singled out from the mass on all occasions, and I must be pardoned for informing you, that there is a very general eling in the British Community,that greater lavor is in many ways shewn the American than to British residents. It possible this si?m of thingu(if it exist) may arise from the recollection of the recent war, or it is pos sible that the recollection of that war has teen eally allaced, and that the desire to conciliato and the habit of deference have led an arrogant people to encroachment.

Pardon me, these general r?fections. There remains

to notice the paragraph la your letter in which it is an tempted to be proved, that Canton is not within the Port of Canton, and that that cannot by Treaty be demanded which may yet by circumstances be necesary.

Iventore to remark, that Larekan and mail versula come constantly up to the Factories, load, and discharge there, that vessels of moes considerable size hava been up bare. Physical dificulties, the inconve

arsalsace of many ship, the Impossibility of any of considerable sins or deeply laden going out or coming in—these cireumitances have made Whampoa the usual Anchorage for merchant vessels; but I may Torther remind you that nothing can be well move uncertain than the Mmits of Whampoa, the ships occupy: ing without any particular regulation a span of perunal miles. I am aware that by the 10th Artiole of the Treaty. 11 29 stated that the purpose for which in erodnar into be stationed at each of the'?re Ports is to enforce good order and discipline "among the crews of the merchant ship. ping." but by the 14th clause of the Regulations of Tende ibla sa mor? fully explained. “An English Cruiser will anchor werin such of the five Ports that the Consul may have the means of better restraining Sailors and Gratis and PISTENTING DISTURBANCE,

I will not surely be said that Her Majesty's fag can

In conclusion I mas? solemnily in the name of the Com- manity, reiterate the opinion of that Community, that it la apcessary for the safety of our lives, property, and trade, that ship of war should be permen?o?ly vitu?ted near the Factories. Surely thine art of more importance than the chance of incurring the idle slegivinge ol' a populace, and bis responsibility, "le great, who with the power to protect, withholds protection.

To find who was the author of this sabbath day's smusement became my drat care; I therefore cal- led my bead servant, and upon questioning bin discovered that one of the servants of Captain WingGeld 15th Regiment had a few minutes before given is to bim saying, that it was to be given to his Mistress and not to his Master, that it had been given to him the last evening by a Gentleman who came two days before frase Colombo, and had stop ped at his Mastor's house, but he left the previous evening-that he did not know his name, and there tres no answer requireil.—I then went to the Agent of the Mail coach to endeavour to ascertain from him who this person was win had come from Col mbo two days before-but he forgot the name then reformed house for the letter (which after- words learned was copied during my ulsoner) and the original was placed in my hands with strict jojuctions not to part with it,

I found to my netunishment that a surmont, instead of a warrant had been inued for Linut. Jesvis-upon my complaining of this the Magit then immed a warrant and the Inspector proceeded aguio on Board the Steamer-at do,clock the Ma gistrale rose-I then went myself on Board-the pactor with others saisting, having searched every place with the exception of those before named I left the ship as she was getting under way without having found Lieut.

Here it will be as well to observe that Lieut. Jervis received avery assistance both from Military and Civilians to enable him to slude an enquire into the charge I proferred against him—namely on assault of an outrageous and unpardoable usture. Whether Lieut, Jervis' escape disguised and se. ereted on board the Steamer is not a tacit acknow- loginent of guilt and foar of being brought before a tribunal there to answer for his conduct, I leave impartial Judges to decide. For on board he was, although be evaded the vigilant search made for him, as Captain Maberly (his friend and brother officer) when the Pilot was quitting the ship, desred him to give his compliments to the Inspector of Police, and inform him that Mr Jervis was safe on board.

NOTIFICATION

JO THE BAITIU CONGENITY AT PO-CHOW.FOR.

Her Brianoic Majesty's Consul has received from His Excellency, the Treasurer and Superintendent of Trade for the Ports of Fuh chow and Amoy Communication complaining that on the 18th June, alors belonging to the crew of the Brig William goi paxicated, took fruit without paying for it, and final. I pushed the stall into the river, and randomly beat whatever person they came in contact with, creating a serious disturbance, and calling for the interference of the Chinese Authorities. It is further stated that another instance occurred on the 15th instam, when five sidoro of the Mchooner 1'are, proceeding from the long rented by Mr Hacket got intoxicated, and vith arms in their possession quarrelted with and fought some Canton sailors, requiring the Military force of the joining station to be called out

Oder complaints are made which the Consul for bears to particulatise, as to the fiting of musketa in ?he suburbs, keeping sailors, who belong to no Ship in Pun, at the longs inhabited by British Subjects, and other acts of imprudence to my the last.

Her Majesty's Consul notices those irregularities and acts of violence on the part of persons subject to the control of Englishmen with extreme regici, l might have been supposed that the destructive riots which lately ensued from apparently more trivial causes, would have served us a serious warning, mod nude any measures on the part of the authorities, English or Chinese, to prevent such disgraceful out- rages, quite unnecessary.

"Leste information however leads the Consul to believe it more than probable that siniler unwarraut- able conduct on the part of the Lascar crews of res sels lying beyond the limits of tho Port, may have reen long in operation, and have mainly contributed jo the sukden, violent, and apparently "inoxplicable break on the part of the whole population of a sdistrict, which not only put in jeopardy the persons and property of the British Residents on the spot, but ruined the commercial prospects ofthe only Aler. chant established here, and retarded all developmen pflegeimate trade for an indefinite period.

Such and in serious are the evils' resulting from ?he disorderly, violent, and in every way improdent Tekstiour of the Latent crews. When it is remem pred that they do not belong to any vessel within the limits of the Port, or visiting it for any ostensible or legitimate purposes of tride. it cannot be a matter of surprise that the Chinese Ambottica immediate- ly after payment of Forty-six Thousand Dollars to some four British Subjects –three of whom belong. ol to these vessels · for losers nccasioned by popular ziolence, sboukl inske earnest and indignant reinos. strapre against tlion alike who commit outrages fending to sinalar outbreaks, and their Masters, whoso business it is to control them. and who by Treaty are made repoun ble for the sets of those who servo under them. Still kas is it manter of surprise that they should call upon Her Majesty's Consul to fake energetic and effective steps to put a stop to suck proceedings; and acknowledging the reasonable na- sure of the requem, he would ill discharge the duty he outs his Government, if he hesitated for a m?

ment to excrcise whatever power has been confided to him, for the purpose of inaintaining a friendly ma- derstanding with the Chinese, and "upholding the faith of Treaties.

With this view Her Majesty's C'onniul informe all Braish Subjects at Foo chow or its vicinity, that the Masters of vessels lying permanently outside the fimite of the Port are prohibited from sending up their ships' boats or crews to Foo-chow, except in case of einergency, and for the purpose of commu pesting with the Consul They are further enjoin.

It is not without regret that we givo publi- | A. Melville, Sequ city to the communications from Messra Bell & Co-regret that a British Naval Officer abould exhibit such indifference to the calls of humani ty, nat to say neglect of an important duty, as is observable in the conduct of Captain Mac Dougall.

This case affords us another proof, that in Chion, during the present command, there bas been a marked disinclination among the Cap- toins of ships of war to render assistance to merchant ships, unless there was a prospect of salvage. We think this is not characteristic of the naval character, and it is therefore a matter of astonishment that a spirit so discreditable to the service should prevail in the east, where Englishmen are usually liberal to prodigality

In the present caso the facts are very simpl.. The Master of a native vessel enters this bar bour and reports that a ship is wrecked upon ti coast, the crew living upon a small island in the neighbourhood. He further states that a great many Fuatna BOATS are in the vicinity of the wreck, with whom the ship wrecked crew will not have any communication. This man's deposition is taken before a Magistrate-nor does there appear any reasonable grounds fur doubting its truth. Mr. Melville, apprehensive that the wreck may be that of. veel sign- ed to the firm of Meure Bell & Co of Canton, for whom he acts in Hongkong, applies to Captain MacDougall for the services of the steamer Nemesis to releva the ship wrecked crew from their dangerous situation. This ap plication is refused, and the crew felt to perish on the rocks, or by the knives of the piratical plunderers who hover around then.

It is possible that the story may be a fabrica.

At this season the passage may average from two to three days, but it is ascertained that she had not arrived un the 10th Instant, or in twelve days. There is a greater probability of the wreck being that of the American ship Lark, that vessel having sailed from Woosing for Hongkong direct on the 24th of June (53 days ago) und

having arrived. What increases the apprehension for the ark, is the circumstance of her having been seen in Lat. 24. 29' two weeks ago, and bar non-arrival cannot be accounted for, except on the opposition that she has been wrecked in this neighbourhood.

Under theso circumstances, wo apprehend that Captam MacDougall was bound, alike by duty and humanity, to despatch the steamor Nemesis in search of the wreck, a service which she could have performed in one day. Should both the vessels we have named arrive in safety. still fow will exonerate Captain MacDougall My een view of the matter, grwanded upon the reasses from a charge of cold indifference to an appeal, have already conveyed to you, is in no degree slazed by to which, as a Seaman, he might have been ex- what is stated in your said lesias, nes d? ) yat sen anat for apprehending the danger you appear to consider so imminem,pected cheerfully to respond.

LORD STANLEY AND TILE COLONIES.

It is nothing new to see politicians all of a sudden

Jifference. Lord Ashley, Lord John Manners, and whom they had before evinced the most perfect in- affect to take a deep interest in persons or classes for

few other of our landod arisencracy, are doubtless slocare in their efforts to better the condition of the working classes in the manufacturing districts; but the eager philanthropy of Prosectionists of all clas ses whenever factory workmen come to be walked of has a most auspicious resemblance to the manu- facture of political capital. The profession of deep sympathy for the condition of agricultural labourers, in the months of the mass of Free-traders, ring quite no hoflow.

had opportunities of altowing that he at least incent whole career as Colonial Minister was nothing but them well, if he could do them no good. But his succession ?of evasions of duty--of_procenating. tions and the invention of excuses-of wranghngs with colonists, and parties representing them in this country, on points of oriquetia--of the infliction of vindictive constrainte, ditappointments, and selu Lord Staoley managed the Colonian as a bad roler kes, to avengo any folt or fancied want of respect. and silly man manages a spirited horev-rki uning it without cause, galling its mouth with the bit for being inpatient, Bog ring or spurring for bein ing fastive, till the galant animal, goaded to wikt. ness, bounds away a.ml leaves bun sprawling.

Lord Stenley's treatment of the Colonies was uniform. Hla doubted an E hesitated, and quibbeld, and grow angry, when pressed to decide on the ques tion of ionigration into the West Indies; and left those colonies, as he found them, retrograding for want of so adequate supply of labour, In Austra lu, le contrived to dispense his supercilious spirit favouters of systematic colonization, the squatters, of contradiction in pretty equal portions upon the and the loremor of New South Wales, until he had irritated all parties alike. In Van Diemen's Land, he refused to listen to the prayers of the honest vet. clers for relief from the inundation of the aggregate felonry of England, formerly scattered over Austra lis, but unler Lord Stanley concentrated within their little island. As for his unaccountable conduct in regard in New Zealand, it would almost seem that he has giv a key to it in his speech against the second reading of ihn Com Bin

"Where is it you are aboul to try this experiment, of which the Minister who brings it forward can- not tell you what will be the possible or probable resulla? The old proverb mys fint experimentum in corpore vili: try your experiment on some smalt aculo, in one insignificmai corner of the globe, in some inartificial state of society; try it where a m?a- take would not be irrevocable, where an error in judginent would not load to such formidable conso quences,"

On the supposition that Lord Stanley's gorem. ment of the Colonies was a series of experiments how far methods of administration might be safely pursued in remote and not oumerove communities, home, something like a system or principle may be which nobody would have ventured to try nearer detected running through it. But it is revolting to so the man who has thus wantonly sportol with the prosperity and security of so many thousands of British subjecta, tuking upon him to play the part of their advocate and patron, when he fancies somo advantage is to be gained by assuming the charac- let. Spectator, May 30,

ENGLISH INTERE?TS IN THE EASTERN ARCHIPELAGO.

to be inapried, regarding the policy pursued by the In the complaints raised, and the jealousies sought Dolch Government in respect of Englis's interests in the Eastern Archipelago there is a good deal of exaggeration. It is not indeed broadly asserted- as would have been done a few years ago—that Dutch intrigues have led to the murders of Native friends of an English alliance in Boruco, or the at- tempts open the life of Mr Brakes. Thess odious imputations are not brindly uttered; but they aro convertly hinted at. The Dutch Government and their agents in the East are entitled to be exculpas. ed from all such ozlumainus insinuations.

Nevertheless, the English Government has good reason to complain of the policy systematically por Bund towards its subjects in that remole region by the Dutch authorities. ah in 1811, when flolland had ceased for a time to Javn, occupied by the Brit , exist as a nation, was restored to zon@citated Hul- land after the close of the war. This was right. Java was taken from France, our enemy, when Hol land was incapable of acting for herself: it was stored to Holland, our ally, after her emancipation, But it was not right to restore it, as was done, with- out taking good security that Holland should not in future use her power in those seas, a formerly, to oppress British merchants and cramp British trade. England, on the ground of shatract right, was entitled to ask for such guarantees. Englan restoring, without any claim for compensation, Juva, which had been rather a burden upon Holland ther a source of profit, transformed by improved guvern. ment inte a valuable property, had claims upon the gratitude of that country. Nevertheless, Lard Can- tereagh bowed and smirked away our sights-to win one smile the more from a king, waived the as- sertion of the interests of England. The Dutch te sumed immediately heir old apprensive and mono- polizing policy in the Easter s plaints of British subjects led to a treaty between Great Britain and the Netherlands respecting their mutual interests in the Archipelago." It was ar ranged by Canning and Fagel: the rhetorician bad no chance with the wily diplomatist, trained to the profession from his cradle under a wilter fatlier. The treaty answered to the O'Connell definition of an act of l'arliament-any one so minded might drive a coach and six though i

com

Of this power the Dutch have amply availed them- selves. Under the treaty, English goods worn eb-

doubled without previous notice, and exacte: upan titled to be introduced into Batavia on the payment of certain duties. These duties were more than

money thus dishonestly exneted has never beeu re- goode already stored in Batavia. To this day the paid; and if the duties have been nominally rectifi- ed, it is in a manner that "keeps the word of pro- mise to the ear and breaks it to the hope." Under the treaty. the English engured to form bo settle. n.ent on the islands South of the Straits of Singa. pore. The abject of this condition was, to settle the boundaries of Dutch and English influence Among the islands which exend along the East roast of Sumatra between the Straits of Aflacca and the Straits of Sunda. The Dutch Govern- meat tries to interpret the clause into an agreement that no English settlement shall be forioed any- where in the Eakers Archipelago Sonth of the pa. rolled of Singapore gation is imparting an interest to this controversy The progress of steam-navi- which it did not formerly possess. Stem-packets now ply regularly from this country to Hongkong; and the line of communication is about to be ex- tended to Sydney bo Torres Straite. For the Hong. When did Lord Stanley act like a friend of the kong line, stations are wanted at Pulo Labuan or Colonies? He was long enough in office to have 'Sarawak, or both. For the Sydory line, stations

Bot, as the most unfavourable imerpretation, the profesions of interest in the futo of the le bouring masses are only cant, not hypocrisy. They ara axaggerated expressions of a estiment felt in- deed, though more larguidly than the speakers world have us believe. The sweet words of todey are not contradioted by the harsh actions of yester day. One can listen to them without that sense of Indignation which is excited when Lort Stanley pretends that sympathy for the Colonies is with him a reason for opposing Corn-law repeal.

The Dutch Government is arming itself with its own interpretition of the | frenty, in order to provent the settlements which will be required for the security of these stations. It is to be wished that Lord Aberdeen may deplay anore vigour and energy in putting down the un Fonudel territorial pretensions of the Dutch Co. vernment, than Lord Palmerston showed when urged to seek redress for its robbery of British mer chants. — Ibid.

THE WELLANOTON STATUE. You can scarcely di na unkinder thing than sug- gest a plan for the improvem??t of the Metropolis; for it not only results in opening the door to die gurement, but provokes a good deal of ill-feeling in the process. The Duke of Wellington has inno-kly cently been the source of much dissension in this war. Glagow some time ago was in a state of so. cial catchy about a statue of which he was to be the subject. Then a statue was to be erected in the city of London; and there was no end to the bicker. ing about it, until a paraphrase of the Duke's form, sery classic" and ponderous, and in an much "repose as to lank quite in n state of dignified somnambulum, or rather somnequitation, wasstation ed in front of the Royal Exchange.

that they are capable of doing something agrocable to the public opinion and the proximate Minustry are equally ripe for action. What is that? A real Poor.low for Ireland Separation of the functions of Lord Chancellor and President of the House of Lords? Abolition of the Lord Lieutig Eway of Ireland? Many more might be named, with regard to which public opinion is sufficiently ripe an admit of practical dealing with them by the next Govorninent, if it should be a strong Govern ment; but the next fiovernmost will not be a strong Government, and we may well doubt whether those who will composo the next Government are themselves rips for dealing practically with any of the gurations mentioned. The paths indicated are full of lions for such men as will compose the next Cloverament, supposing Lord Grey not to be a incumber of is. In picking a subject with which Lord John Russell and his probable colleagues will be able to deal promptly and practically, we most choose an easy cno; une offering no serious diffi. calire either from the public or from the timidity which is the vice of every weak Government; one in which reform (for now-a-days reform is the auly mode of handling any subject) may be affected without opposition from pwerful interests; and lastly, a muljeet on which Lord John Russell bas made up his mind to a course that public opinion would applaud,

Experience does not strengthen hope in that respect.

La anticipation of the interest that will presently attach to this subject, we devote a Bupplement to laying before our readers one case, or rather an ac count of ono mage in a esse, of 'olonial griemace. The documents which we publish describe what the colonists of New Zealand have suffered for another year, and how the Colonial Office has possol an other year without taking a single step to correct its own previous errors and neglect The whole case is a curiosity. A petition from the colonists sets forth proceedings on the part of the Local Government, of which it is enough to say here, that a system under which such things could happen is condemned with out further hearing. Perhaps the things did not happen: the story of them may have been invented to worry the Colonial Officef And yet the gentle men in Downing Street take no more notice of this coming caricature of the worst misgovernment that one's imagination can readily concoive, than if it find been a letter about coals and candles for the Office This hardly credible tale of wrong excites in thma no surprise, ao indignation, no uneasiness; they treat it as just the sort of thing they are tend to as some thing which bores them a little perhape, and which will woonest conse to bore them at all tho less they any about it. They have nothing to say, therefore, even to the extent of a word of sympathy or regret. Their correspondence with the New Zealand Comcracy which has its source in a poetical tempera- pany, which is the advocate of the colonists and pleads hard for a total change of system, discloses no feeling, but some annoyance at being troubled at pro sent, and a determination to cast all responsibility

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND THE LORDS.

The Duke of Wellington, if not speculativo him- self, is often the cause of much speculation in others. 'l'he Duko's genius is essentially practical: the generalizing and imaginative principles sente cely appont to have a place in his composition. The instinctive lact with which he reen most things as they actually are, and the wide grasp and power of understanding with which he combines movements, though generally regarded as inferior facutting to the other two, are in him so extraordinarily dere. Joped, that from their colisen proportions they ten der the prose of human character for once maze The Duke's opinions impressive than its poetry

are mostly true as for as they go ; and the pith manner in which they aru expressed a?rties con Fiction home to the minds of the heaters. Mett physicians and imaginative persons struggle in vain to resist hum: the former fowl that the Duke is apt to gira to individual truths a ton pensenlized ex-

pression; the latter, that his common sense desis too rudely with their favourite associations. The Duke, for example, though an aristocrat by habit, bes none of that dreamy veneration for the aristo?

meni. Hence, his practical apophthegme frequently provoke long prov utsagnieist whart speeches which terminate controversies or revolutionize a nation's

policy.

the hint, and warned the Lords, that if they placed themselves in opposition to both Crown and Compons--if they attempted to stand alone--they would masume position in which they ought not, and could not stand, as they would be power- The opinion is not quite new; but, coming from the Duke of Wellington. whose words nra facts, it is believed by mony who were befute in- credulous. It has consequently provoked angry remonstrance from those whose associations with the aristocracy have been disturbed by it, and candid comment from others who have no such apology.

After all, what has the Duke said 1—That the House of Lorde connot act in opposition to the com victions of the whole community. This is true net only of the Lords of the British Parliamem, but of all homan powers. The Bultan of Constantinople cannot act in opposition to the unversal opinion of his subjects on many points the Uloma of Cant- famloople are stronger than the Depot. The most absolute sovereigns must work by human instre ments; their agents are members of society, and all of them to some extent controlled by its opinion; there are principles and prejudices in every society which are of force to counteract the most powerful and self-willed ruler; no Government is possible where there is not a large amount of identical opi 'nion in common between the governors and the governed. This is all that the Duke of Wellington said of the House of Lords. When the Lords de-

The procoolings at the Company's annual meeting held last week suggest two observations in the firm place, the ruin and dissolution of such a body as the colonizing New Zealand Company by the direct and obvious agency of the Colonial Office, upon whom this "valuable coadjutor" was forced by Lord John Russell, some five years ago, is n fact which, if it stood alone, would call for reform in the great house at the bottom of Downing Street: second. ly, at this mooting, Mr Charles Buller made a speech aland of odione responsibility and excessive labour.which most preclude bin from taking office under A? all events, their opposition would be so feelile the next Clovernment except ne a practical reformer as to be scarcely an exception from the rule of sp of Colonial government, and from which, if he should proval; and it deserves notice for no other purpose not be in office under the next Government, the pu but that of observing that the coming reform would bli: will understand that the said next Governant appear more important if it were likely to meet does not mean to realize the declarations of the pre- with some formidable opposition.

The Overland Friend of China will be pu- blished on Thursday morning, with a market report for the month, shipping intelligence &c.; also extracts from the local papers, including the correspondence between the Rosidents of Contou and Mr. Macgregor, narrative of the late operations on the coast of Borneo &ze, dec.

We are happy to hear that the Warlock has arrived y de in the Min river. It appears that she got to fee-ward of Amoy, and found it dif ficu i to beat finck ngaoist the wind and ear- Jent. The Lark is still missing; and some un- casiness is felt for other coasting vessels, con siderably over duo. Romou of a wreck were comnion at Ainny; though it appears that they could not be traced to any credible source. (Tho Lark is in the Lema channel all well,

EDITOR F. of C.)

We observe that the P. & O. Company in- tead running either the Ludy Mary Wood or Brogama between this port and Shaoglui, so soon as the new vesacla arrive for the China and India loc. This will add another link to the chain of steant communication established by the enterprising association, and it is to be hoped that it will prove remunerative.

Cousidering the extent of the trade of Shang- hai, the importance of a regular at speedy communication with Europe and India is ev?. d'ent; and this can only be secured by steam, as sailing vessels, in addition to a great uncer tainty of arrival and departure, do not always carry an open ruai).

The P. & O. Company would also find that a river boat between Hongkong and Canton would be liberally supported. At present the uncertainty of a conveyance by steam often compels people to take a passage by fast boat, a mode of travelling which is neither safo nor convenient.

AFFAIRS OF INDIA. Since the departure of the lust mail very lule has Laken place in this country having reference to India Even the discussions relaung in the annduct of the Sikh war m rith some ti...s ago, have ainoal entire. ly wided, and the great currents of public opinion | are beginning to set in a diffurent direction. This. however, will not be understood to indicate any in difference on the subject of lodia, or her intereste Bot simply that nothing is now taking place in that country of sufficient magnitude or importance to keep awake the attention of the Empire Ous fact may be mentioned, to show that, since the seulement of the affairs of the Punjaub, public confidence has been gradually restoral. We allude to the steady rise in the price of Railway Sherre During the beat ofed the conflict it sunk several times to par; but within the last few weeks the market has been acquiring firmer tone and considerably more business is done Nothing can be regarded as unimportant which tends to strengthen sympathy and good fellowship between the different portions of the army, scattered over the widely distant provinces of our Empire. We, there fore, notice the fact that, at the annual dinner of the Rifle Brigade, given at Grillous, on the 23d of May, the heakh of Sir Harry Smith, the hero of Aliwal, himself a ri?eman, was drunk with enthusiastic cheers Sir Andrew Burrood was in the chair; and among the numberone officers assembled were Generala C?- neroo and Brown, and jne Walpole. It it said that an exploring expedition is about to be despatch ed to the coast of Eastern Africa, which, though but indirectly connected with lodia, deserves to be no ticed here. According to the accounts we have seen. the Inaum of Muscat, who has proved himself on all occasions so friendly to the English, is very de sirous of promoting the objects of the expedition, which are, first to accertain the resources of the country, and the character and disposition of is inhabitants, and to open up a commercial intercourse with that portion of the African Continent, by which India must be more or less benefitted. At Leigh, who speaks the Fawabili koguage, various dialects of which prevail throughout the country, is to be placed at the head of the exploring party; but it does not yet appear to be determine ? fromambat point of the count they are to take their departure. On the evening of May the 25th, detachments of regiments serving in fodia arrived at the invalid depot, Fort Pill, from Gravesend, at which place they disembarked in the afternoon. from the ship Minerva, Captain Clineb They consisted of seven privates of the Brd King's Own Light Dragoons, thirty-three of the 9th Foot, one of the 10th, and twenty six, including three ser gents, of the 31st, with three women and six chil. dien-

The whole were in charge of Captain George Cubit, of the 9th Foot. Upon medical iospec. tion, it was found necessary to place a number of the meg in hospital; many, though young, are nearly blind; the remainder were removed to Buary's bar- racks, to be discharged. They left Calcutta on the 24th of January, and two men, Sergeant W. Hull and Private W. Wathry, died during the passage. The troops were in cluargs of Dr Henderson, who speak highly of his attention to them during the voy As steam communication between Singapore and Sydney is now exciting considerable attention in this country, it may perhapa be proper to allude to a fact which will serve to illustrate its importance. It is known that the East India Company bes for sine time obisined from New Youth Wales a large num ber of horses for mounting its cavalry. Recent in telligence from the colony riders it probable that the horse trade will henceforward be greatly increased, for the Company, it is said, intends to establish a de put for horses in the neighbourhood of Sydney, where the agents, Captains Apperly and Dallas, have re- ceived instructions to porebase very largely in the ensuing season. Hitherto, it would appear, numbers: of horses have frequently died during the passage, awing to the roughness of the weather which ships experience in making Calcutta. But should steain communication be established and the Eastern route by Torres Straits be fixed upon, this drawback on the trade may be in a great measure avoided. In the first thousand mine from Sydney the steamers will almost entirely pass through a channel of smooth water, protected by the barrier of reefs, and after pass. nules, would be comparauvely through tranquil seas ing Torres Straits, the navigation for many hundred

The half-yearly meeting of the proprietor of this company was held, dir P. M. Stowari, M.P., in the chair.

Bir John Campbell, deputy-chairman of the com- pany stated that Mr Stewart had been elected chair man of the board of directors.

The report read at the meeting gave the follow. ing details:-

This morting has been convened for the purpose | of declaring a dividend and receiving the report of the board of directors for the half-year ending 31st Blarch 1840.

"'The directors expect that, in the course of the easing autumn, six of the company's new vicain- vessels will be ready for sea, and are immediately to be placed upon their respective lines. Those in- tended to complete the communication between Bombay and Chiun will, it is expected, take up their stations early next year; and it is also probable that between Hongkong and Bonoghai, in the mail ser one of the company's versole will occupy the line

ties, and another to be placed on the Calcutta and Singapore station, between which respective places a considemble imffie stready exists, though the qua angers' intercourse has been hunited, in the absence of the facilities which steam communication will afford. The directus, looking forward to the Je mand whicherung will undoubtedly be made upon this establishment (ue suditional steam-veals in the qourier referred to, and being aware that to build - Jum Dugdale, Killock, resele and place them upon distant lines will oc- Lydford, Byron, capy not less than two years, propose to enlarge Maggie, Jones, the company's feet by four additional steam-ships, of the first character for speed, sea worthiness, and t?mfort for passengers, a measure which they deem esscuial to promote the prosperity of the concern under their control.

“It has been gratifying to the directors to be en- abled to carry into effect during the last half year ab arrangement which may, in sorge slight degree, prove advantageous to the junior officers of the Flo- nourable East India Company namely, that of making a considerable reduction in the tate of pas sage money for newly-appointed officers to the military service in India.

**The director of the company have always ex- perienced from the Court of Directors of the Ho- nerable East Jodia Company the mounet liberality sad much kind consideration, and this measure your directors falt might, therefore, be acceptable to them Should the revenue of this company hereafter admit of it, it is expected that the principle may be ex tended, so as to embrace officers returning on sick leave from India."

The report concludes with a recommendation from the Board of a balf-yearly dividend of 34 per cent, free of income tax, for the six months anding March 31st 1840, which was unanimously adopted, and the meeting separated.—Ibid.

The work began with an unusual stir-with reports of meetings among leading Ami Minister ialists, and rumours that Sir Robert Pael would be out of office by this present Saturday; rumours to which a paper in the Times of Monday seemed to give countenance. Things have not gone on quite no fast; though, in truth, the plot thickene space. One of the meetings beld on Saturday was that of against the Coro Bill in Committee. The other Protectional Peers, to armage plane fur a struggle

was a meeting of Whigs at Lord Jahn Russell'e house in Chesham Place, to concert messures for

their object. They agreed, with one dimantient in each case, to oppose the Coarcion Bill, and to insist on a reduction of auties on foreign slasa-grow sugar to the level of foreign froo-labour sugar. Both propositions have the obvious purpose of upsetting the Government.

The revenge only recove to fuccan Peel will not be beaten. Throughout the trying struggle, but most especially in the latter stages, his com nind of temper has been wonderful," It is a win

of which one of his bost cullongues is so reckles ly larials, but is a severe test of his capacity for coul Intnding circumstances. It lays in a stock of popularty proportionato to the intensity of the pre- en annoyance; attests his personal ascrifices, and the sincerity with which he obeys the dictates of conscience and patriotic policy ; and it proves his power to conquer obstacles —even the obstacles that bo might suffer from his own naturally im perious temper.

On the other hand, Lord George Bentinek dis covers that Sir Robert Peel is not in earnest, because he has suffered the bill to be delayed. Perkaps the reproach is not entirely unfounded. As Sir Robert is a somewhat greater salesman then Lord George, it almost follows that he must bare le faith in coercion bills. But an doubt, there are official who think that shoch a measure may do sows good; and Sir Hobart himself may think that the want of it may do harm, as seeming to extend im panity to crima. He is of alone in that opinion; for we see it influences one of Lord John's followor Do strongly as to overcome his Whig predilections, and extort a declaration in favour of the measure even at the Cheema Place meeting. But who was it that enged the delay? The Protectionials themselves. The Core Bill is Sir Robert Peal's special mision; to carry that he returned to office to that be gave precedence in the work of the session; that bill the Protectionists obstructed by expedient; and thus they delayed the Coer cion Bill which stood behind. They would have had Bir Robert prove his “earnestness" by pushing forward the Irish Dessure, no doubt, because that would have effected their object of mopping the Com Bill, The Corn Hill, bowere, in urged for.

Some have accounted for Sir Robert Poel's per tinacity by the presumption that he chooses the Coercion Bill as the meason upon which to go out of office." We cannot see a shailow of pro- auch "choice" on the part of Peel, but many bability in such a conjecture-not a motive for

against it. It would be palpably impolitie for him to retire with even the appearance of attempting a measure hostile to Ireland His Coercion Billwes only part, and we think the bad part, of a schemo for the improvement of that country; and it is the part to which he would be the letal desirous of giving "disproportionate prominence. ?ibers 10- proach him with imitating the Whigs in consenting to rotain office on sufferance.

It has been followed up by three other bills, which Lord Lincole introduced on Thursday, to land. One of thear billa is to secure the outgoing improve the relation of landlord and tenant intra-

The details, particularly of the first bill, look complicated; but it would be pre- mature to judge of their merits by Lord Lincoln's very general though well-managed description. They were received by the Ilouse with marked aud universal favour.

The Core Bill has been under discussion by the Lords, on the demand to go into Colomiler; re- sisted by Earl Stanhope and the Protectienists. Thoas Peers who missed the delivery of their spee ches on the second reading, take this opportunity of duly publishing their essays. Tho debate har been heavy enough; although enlivened at the outset by some of those droll walline which Lord Stanhope means in sober adness, though they have The air of josting.

Private Members have not been idle. Mr Fox Maulo has moved the second reading of his bill to extort Free Chorch sitee from landlords in Scot land, but the debate is adjourned for a week. This bill belongs to the “stand and deliver” class of le- gislation, "bitherto monopolized by the sovereign power in the state, but now grafo?y claimed by the new Bootch Dissenters,

The would-be king-killer, Lecomte, has been guillotined. The ceremony was performed with unusual privacy; thus stripping it of that iheatrical display which has made punishment A premium to such crimes. But it almost look- e? as if Ministers were ashamed of their se- verity, contrasted with the understood element inclinations of the Monarch insell. It is said that Lecomto repented before he died: but such repentance, alier the act. prores nothing except that the inorbid excitement had passed away. What is wanted is an efficient influence to check that excitement at its height; and the French Executive seem quite as much at a Jose as ours to discover such an influence. by this empirical They get no nearer to alternation of mercy and severity.

Theen men include among their nom ber the most able, inteligent, and influential of those who now sit on the right hand of the Speaker, nor are their inere numbers contemptible.

There is sometimes a talk of “on appeal to the People" By what obsnnel! how do you reach the People" in order to make the appen! Not through the constituencies, surely; for they repre. sew the People imperfectly But even that limited appeal, and even too if made by the Whigs, would not seem likely to her the classification of parties very materialy.

A rumour has been circulated, with some appear ance of authority, that it is intended to propose three rates of duty, one of fourteen slullinge on colonial, one of surf, shillings on foreign fien labour, and out of twenty fire shillings on foreign slave labour. 11e do not give any credit in this rumour It would be an un-tifiable departure from all principle to reduce slavelabur sugar to such a duty as would serve to admit it for consumtion, but in such a way on to taise the price of all other sugars to the Ed glish consumer At the present relative prices the sugars of Brazil could freely pay a day of twenty fire skiflings, but once departing from the principle of practical zelusion, how could a high duty be justifi- ed, which only tended to keep the price of sugar at a high rate, to the advantage of the producers in the colonies and in Java1 On no pretence could two rates of duty be justified the moment the principle of admitting slave sugar to consumption is acted upon Another mode of escaping the present difficulty has been suggested, viz, io suspend the navigation laws, and admit Java sugars fiom Hulland, where the stock in at this moment twenty thousand tons more than last year Hare, again, we meet with the difficulty that those sugais have not the needful certificates of growth, though their origin is easily ascertained. For our own part, we do not think it Jikely that Sir Robert Peel will adopt any of these temporary expedients. We are rather disposed to think that he will either be prepared with som large and comprehensive scheme with a view to a final settlemon of the sugar duties, based, perhaps, on the result of recem negotiations with foreign countries for the pupose of more effectually sup prewing the slave trade, or, if not, that be will sim- ply propose the duties announced at the beginning of the session.

Nuthing, however, can be so desirable on every account, as that a final arrangement should be made with regard to these dolies; and no parties are, probably, more interested in such a final settle ment than the coloniats themselves. As long as the question is suspended in doubt aud uncertainty, we are satisfied nothing really will be done to meet the new competition to which the colonies must sooner or later be exposed, with that earnestness which is required. But a final settlemen of the augar dotice must provide for a much lower duty Lian any as yet contemplated in the various pra poved plans. On an article of such universal consumption, and capable of so much extension in heus, article, moreover, which must ever be one of the most important objects of exchange for the manufactures of this country all tropical citus, a high duty cannot be maintained. 11'0 aro apt to think that fourteen shillings per cwt, or three-half peace the lb, in a low duty, and so it is compared with what we have been accustomed to j -bai, when we consider that that is about seventy- five per cent dis the firal price of sugar, we are sul- "is?ed it is too high either for the permanent interest of the consumer, or for those of commerce, and, ultimately, for the revenue itself.

In order to give a very great stimulus to the cuumption of sugar is should be related to the public ut four pence per lb; and such an arrange. ment of duties is quita porsible at this moment to secure that object within four years without any sacrifice of revenue in the meantime, and with so ultimate and pe·manent increase after that period. In order to accomplish this great object, we would propose, first to pass resolutions which should bind Parliament to take measures with as little delay as posible to remove all the restrictions to which the colonies are now subjected, and then to pass a DU- gur bill, etablishing a duty of fourteen shillings the ent, or 14 per 16, on culonial sugar, and one of eighteen angs and eightpence per ewi, or twopence the Ib on all foreign suzere, the former to be reduced at the tule ul une shilling and two pener, and the latter at the rate of two skillings wad fourpence per eut, each year until they become equal at mine shillings and fourpence per ewi, or one penny the lb.

One word as to the fiscal effects of this plan. t will be said that an increase of the present ravenver may be obtained by a higher scale of doties. W

biok it probable such might be the cave; but it would be at the serifice of commerce, and the ultimate perfect success of the scheme. The plan proposed would lead to no additional import trade, amunting, at the first price of the sugar, to 2,000 anually, and would lead to an export of our manufactures to a similar amown), the pro fita and wages secuted in the production of which would be a much greater book to the country than muy relied from laxation which the Forende derived Tron a higher senle of duties could afford, besides securing to all classes a plentiful supply of this article of universal consumption at low price. We are sati.?ed, before ten years have passed, the revenue derived from such a duty would be grante than from any higher one which may now be im paed; and that without involving any sacrifice in the meantime. With the colonial planter, moreo ver, such a measure would meet with great appro sal; -in short, we can b?idly imagine any party who could object to the plan, except there who ste in favour of resorting mop to indirect, mid relje quishing direct taxation, who gen now few Ju number.

Then take the price of all sugar in bond in 1850 oven at 25 d per cnt, or of aid per lb to the dealer. Then suppose each individual expending only the same sum which he does st present on sugar, will give a quantity of 6,072,294 cuts, and if to that we add a quantity in proportion to the increase of population, we shall have a crasumption of 7,490,285 owl, which at On 4d would give a revenue of 3,500,000, which is, as nearly as may be, the presen amoost.

But our own belief is, that with such a reduction

TRAS-The market for fine L'ongous was open- a few days after the departure of last monthe Mail, at 39 fuela; prices varying from the rate up to $4 and in some cases rather beyond this figure, there bring but few really fine Teas out of the 90 Chops settled.

Since the arrival of the Jone Mail, but few'trenu actions have occurred as the rates densanded are beyond what those ruling in Englawi justify; und with the little chance of any reduction in the Dury during the present Session of Parliament, it is un-

likely that any general settlements of the 2nd Clas

Since then, ai- tracted by the glowing accounts of the territory, and stimulated by the spirit of adventure, which is one of the characteristics of the Americao squatter, soma thumaande azo vaid to have migrated from the United States into dive territory. The Indian tribes, who have been sadly thinnoil by epidemics, and by the contact with white men, which seems to be always so destructive of their race, are completely under the contral of the Hudran's Bay Company.

This territory has been open to the joint occupe- tion of English subjects an- citizens of the United Bates, under a cooremtion between the two coun tries, which was concluded in 1818. This conven- tion was the conclusion of negut?stions respecting the Oregon enuntry, which arose out of the treaty of Gbent in 1814; by this arrangement it was, wong other things, agreed, that any country, claim. ed by either nation, west of the Rocky Mountains, BILLS OF LADING FOR THE OVERLAND abould be free and open to the citizens aud subjects

of the two powers, for the term of ten years, with a provision, that the grecinent should not be con stracted to the prejudice of the claim of either party. In 1894 another attempt was made to negoliete a settlement of the question, but without success; and again in 1820, with a like result. In consequence of these failures the temporary arrangement above- mentioned was prolouged indefinitely, by a conven tion signed at London in 1827, subject to termina- tion by either party on 12 mouths' notice. This is the notice which the tongress have determined to give, and the two parties will, tbarefore, soon be in the position they occupied previously to the agree ment of 1818. The terms of final adjustment, pro- poord by the United States in 1818, were simply, the continuation of the 49th parallel across the Rocky mountains to the ocean, so the boundary. In 1824 the British negotiators proposed drawing the line along the 49 deg to the Columbia, and thence along the river to the "Pucifo. In 1826, Mr Gal. latin, on the part of the United States, offered to | England the 49th parallel as the boundary, with the -free navigation of the t'olumbia, while the British plenipotentiaries were willing to resign to the Unit- ed States a portion of the territory on the Pacifio between the 49th parallel and the Columbia.

During the whole of it he remained con. grous, spicuously on the poup of his ship, issning orders with protiptitude and calmoras; and wh?o all was over, he was found by the British officer, who boarded him, smoking his pipe with the same ad renity.

Syria was the next field of importance in Ibrahim's martial carour; and here ho evinced, as ? general, abilities still greater than those which had marked b? conduct as a naval commander. The two services are, in modern days, deemed in compatible; but it was not so in the okler nos of English and European warfare, and it is not so at present in the Turkish system of hostilities. The lending Pacha there is still expected to take the command of the Sukan's foroet by son or land, or both, no occasion may require, as did our old Eng lish commanders, Howard of Effingham, the Earl of Exur, Ralrigh, Drako, &e, in the days of Eli. zabeth.

The of the American sestientents now existing soen to have been erected in 1853 §, one at Fort tall, for trading purposen, near the heads of Lawis's river, the other by missionaries on the Willett, which runs due north into the Columbia, and the valley of which is weid to be very fertile. Since then, ai uncted by the glowing secounts of the territory, and simulated by the spirit of adventure, which is one of the characteristics of the Alberican squatter, some thanasada uze suid to have migrated from the United States into the territory. The lodian triber, who have been madly thinned by epidemies, and by the contact with white men, which seems to be always so destructive of their exce, are completely under the control of the Hudson's Bay Company. Tho number of those, between the Columbia and the southern boundary of the territory, has been esti- mated at 100,000, but such exfculations must be the merest guesser

This territory has been open to the joint occupa- tion of English subjects and citizens of the United Sutes, under a convention between the two coun- tries, which was concluded in 1818. This conven- tion was the conclusion of negotiations respecting the Oregon country, which arose out of the treaty of Ghent in 1814; by this arrangement it was, wmong other things, agreed, that any country, claim. ed by either nation, west of the Rocky Mountains, should be free and open to the citizens and subjects of the ten powers, for the term of ten years, with a provision, that the agreement should not be con structed to the prejudice of the chim of either party, In 1824 other attempt was made to negoliate settlement of the question, but without suecem ; and again in 1820, with a like result. In consequence of these failures the temporary arrangement above. mentioned was prolonged indefinitely, by a conven. tion signed at London in 1827, subject to temina- tion by either party en 18 months' autico. 1 bis is the notice which the Congress have determined to give, and the two partien will, therefore, soon be in the position they recupied previously to the agree ment of 1818. The terms of final adjustment, pro- posed by the United States in 1818, were simply, the continuation of the 49th parallel across the Rocky mountains to the ocean, as the boundary. In 1824 the British negotiators proposed drawing the line along the 49 deg to the Columbia, and thenco slong the river to the Pacific. ?n 1826, Mr Gal. latin, on the part of the United States, offered to England the 49th parallel as the boundary, with the -free navigation of the Columbia, while the British plenipotentiaries were willing to resign to the Unit- od Sistes a portion of the territory on the Pacific between the 49th parallel and the Columbia. la 1844 Mr Pokenham, the British minister, added to these last torins a proposal to make free to the Unit

The Unted Status government rely, first, un an original elain of their own country; secondly, u a claim founded on their purchase of Louisiana Com France; and thirdly, on a claima conveyed to them by the treaty of Florida between Spain and thesefres. The English government stand on a elaim of right, which they musintsin to be good against both the arg as), qul the derivative titlas contend ed for by the United States

Lu 1771 and 1775, Porez and Heeela, two Span ish officers, under the the authority of the Mexican viceroy, explored the coast, probably as far north na 5 dag.

These seem the first authentic discoveries. But they wore not then, not ever havo boen since, follow. ed up by permanent Spanish settlement. Nor, as San Francisco, then?rthernmost Spanish settlement. is four degrees south of parillod 42. can the exim of territory, necessary for the full enjoyment of that settlement, be supposed to streich north of that line Spain, therefore, had a right to settle, which right was never excrcial The Spanish title seems obriously untenablu against any subsisting right to posici?n; and is is, therefore, unnecessary to enter at length into the discussion, whether it is subjected treaty stipulations with England. So much has born sail, however, in the discussion on the Oregon question, about the Nootka Sound convention, that it will be well shortly to explain it.

in October, 1813, the reprogematures of this con, cern, at Autorin, sold it, with all the stock in hand. to the British North-West Company. On the first of December following the transfor, a British ena of war arrived in the river, and took formal poses sion of the post, hoisting the British dog and calling it Fort Gourge. By the treaty of Ghout, which terminated the war in 1815, it was provided that "all territories, plaons, and possessions what ever, taken by eliber party from the other, during the war, should be restored without delay." Ac cordingly, on the sixth of Dotober 1818, in Acer ican commisioner took forutal pompassion of the fort, and the Amorirna flag was hoisted. The commissioner then miled away in the ship which had brought him, and the North-West and lud- won's Bay Companies have sincs kept up a trading establishment at the spot.

But, against the United States, our title to possession is worth as linte, as their against us. We can neither be said to have discos ored, nor seulud the country. The Spaviande discovered it, and wo had never settled it, in the correct sense of the word, before 1818. American stand on the same footing; they neither discovered nor have settled it. But, reprcoating Spain. they ate bound, by the Nootka Convention, in allow in us a right to settle; and, as a nation of the civilized world, they ar? equally bound to acknowledge the sun general right, which was what we contended for, in 1792, with Spain. In the amino duable enpucity, as we can diew no ex- clusive chim, either by treaty or by general inter national right against them, we must allow to them the right to setila vasant territory.

The charge against Mr Stephen of writing on colonial subjects in the "Edinburgh loview" has Always appeared to us extremely futile in iwell, and asa ?vanced upon excessively slender evidence in the first place, there is nothing discreditable in writ ng for the Elinburgh Review: on the contrary, most men would regard it no a feather in their cape to be allowed to write for that periodical. In the second place, there is no discredit in cleverly adro- eating the principles a man sincerely entertains, Cordially though we dissent from most of the views expressed in the articles in question, their ability is beyond question; and their sentiments, though in our opinion erroneous, may be entertained without any discredit. Mr Stepen would have been weither better or worse than he is if he had really written these articles: he is neither worse nor better than be would in that case have boon, now 2 is established that he did not write them.

replenish the dockyards, it has been tacitly admitted that the mmell numbers of registered senfaring men and boys put as insurmountable obstacle to the in definite extension of the French navy; and this con clusion has been rather corroborated then shaken by the proposal to eke out the scanty supply of sen- cien by a large draught on the land conscription for the servion of the Beet. But if we would form a borrect estimate of the maritims forces of the Va. ited States of America, which are at this time of more immediate interest to us than those of France, we shall find a very diflorent result. The lin of ships of war is indeed inconceivably small; the whole number of sesmen in the public service. 7,500 men and boys, very inconsiderable; the votes for the naval department auch below what the in- terests and protection of American commerce and the American cost require. But these aquans of inferiority may be repaired with comparative facili Again, the evidence upon which it was assumed t?, at certain expense of time and money; and wo that Me Stephen was the author of these asticles was should be apt to underrate the true maritime aspa- utterly unsatisfactory.

We again publish a Copy of the Notification announcing the recent changes in the Consular Establishments, to correct an error committed in a former issue as respects the appointmont of R. B. Jackson, Esq.

A Coroner's Inquest was held on Thursday and Friday last on the body of a Chinese ser. vant lately employed by Mosers MacMurray &Co--It appeared that the deceased, who was a useful servant, had left his employers without giving them any notice, and that for so doing he was fined $2 by the Pulice Magistrate, and ordered to return to his work, refusing to do so, he was again appreheniled, sentenced to re ceive 20 lashes, and to return to his employer's service; this punishment had not the dosired effect, and after two days had elapsed, he was met on the Queen's Road a little Eastward of Mers Lindsay & Co by one of his mastors, 10 avoid whose purant joined by two constables. he rushed into the water and was unfortuna tely drowed in an attempt to reach a buat laying a short distance from the shore.. The Jury returned a Verdict of accidented death, imputing no blame whatever to deccasoda ota- ployers.

THE COLONIAL OFFICE.

Mr Sternen has once more undergone a partial whitewashing. For this good office he is indebted to injudicious nasibnca,

If we turn to the last reports of our own whale fisheries, we shall find a very different result. The suppression of bounties, and the reduction of duties on vegetable oils, have impaired the trade to the last degree. In 1821, 822 ships and 12,788 man were engaged in the British whale fishery; in 1841, these numbers had fallen to 85 ships and 3,005 men being a decrease in twenty years of 237 ships and

It is not easy to discover why a trade which at tracts large and increasing investments of American capital should prove in so declining a condition in British hands. We are in possession of colonial establishments in the Southern Pacific, situated in the mens most favourable to these fisheries. Perhaps on the coast of Vancouver's Island, or of the Ore. goo territory, settlements might be made for the trial and improvement of the whale fisherion at that season when the black whales descend from the Polar Sea through Behring's Straits to the coast of our own Australian possesivos But nothing of this kind has been effected by British enterprise; whilst the American whalers circumnavigate Capi Horn. and encounter all the hardships of a three years' royage with sack alacrity, that they have se dured to themselves a vast superiority in the whale fishery in the South Seas,

It is other within the power nor the designs of England to set hounds to the energetic development and progress of the race she herself planted on the American continent, as long as they are regulated by just principles, and stimulated by bonourable on- terprise; but England cannot allow herself, with impunits, 10 be superseded or surpassed upon the wniars of any portion of the globe. The Motes of the Pacific Ocena se disputed by rival Govern ments; the waters of the Pacific are crowded by numerous electurers; the islands of that ocean are astonished by the occupation of a people whose power and fame belong to saugher hemisphara; and before half century has elapsed, the Pacific will be the high rond to what we term the extreme east of the world, and the ancient dream of the Spanish na vigature who sought a western track to the Indies

The principle of Lord John Russell's plan, our readers are well aware, entirely ineets our views For years we have advocated insures for the en- couragement and promotion of the insigration of free labour into the sugar colonics. We have done this with a view to render it possible for the sugar of our free-labour colonies to compete with the slave grown ster of Brazil and Cuba on equal terme in the market of the world, and beat them. We have longed for this consummation for two reasons:- Because we have long fore-reen the inevitable dowal of the protective eye and wie bad the colonis to be prepared for it; and because we believe that as soon as we can produce augar more plentifully and chop er in our English colonies by free labour thap the Spaniards, Dutch, French, and Portuguese con pro duce it by slave labour in their colaire, then-and not till then-will these nations set themselves to abolish alavery.

He has al-o sa abundant supply of labour, and as cheap as in any other country. The English labourer may be better paid than the continental, but in return he gives a far greater amount of steady, continuous, efficient labour. Another consideration which tells in faTour of the English agriculturist in the lngth of time that must clapse before his continental or other com petitors can materially increase the breadth of their corn lands.

Our English sugar colonies - despite the calumnies and misrepre. sentations of their "ill-willers, we maintain it--sto more advanced in the uso of scientific processes than any other sugar-producing countries whatever. But none of the other advantages of the English agricul turists are enjoyed by them. They are understocked with labourers There are considerable amounts of foreign sugar ready to be permanently transferred to the British market-all, for example, that is refined here in bond. And freight and other costs of impor- tation must always be as great from the British An. talles as from Cuba and Brasil. In so far as the Eaglich ogricuburist is concerned, the trade in grain might without danger be thrown free at once, if he could only be brought to beliero it.

The Portuguese practitioners maintained that water, and held the same opinion till the 20th of the fover arois from the presence of the stagnant November, when they openly declared it to be a fever of the worst description, and of a most cout agious character. Up to the first week in Decem her the fever continued to rage, and at that period the deaths averaging seven or eight daily. Up to it had found its way into akost all the villages— the 21st of December 250 had died at Bona Vissa; but it was stated in the report that for fourteen days previously there had been no ceaths in the port, and in three of the country villages, although the fever still existed in two of them. The English suffered dreadfully, having lost one-third of their number. The leading symptoms of the disease were black vomit, prins in the head, back, and thighs, with a suppession of atine, and frequently contagious to those who acted as nurses to the the rupture of a blood-vessel. The fever proved sick, with scarcely one exception. The Consul as that, had the authorities of the place imgined that the fever on board had exhibited a dangerous type, they never would have granted pratique. Me Macaulay, in a letter transmitted to Lord Aberdeen (dated St. Nicholus, Copo Verd lalanda, 24th of December, 1815), states his opinion that had the building mask as a fever houpaal been properly fumigated and purified print so he reoccupation. and had the two patients there sized with fover been kept from all intercourse with the densely- populated and closely-built town, no had conse quences would have been experienced at Bona Vies from the visit of the Eclair.

These facts seem completely to overthrow the opinion so decidedly exprovend by Sir W. Burden: "That the fuvar te queation arowe from causes totally dinions from infection! that is was, in fact, the usual remittent fever of the coast, produced by the influence of marsh minunata, heightened ly other causes, such as the exposure of the inen, and the excemes committed by them." In the course of his despatch to the Secretary of the Admiralty, Sir W. Burneu ays:- If it can be fully and satisfactorily shown that any persons who had visited the ship or tents where the sick were placed contracted the favers and communicated it to others and they to other persons in accession, who had nover visited the hips or the sick, then there enn be no reason to doubt the infectious nature of the disease; but if nothing of this kind has taken place, than the conclusion must be, that the disense is not infectious, and is therefore incapable of being com tested question" The opinion of Sir William ap municated; in either enso settling this long.com pears to have been satisfactorily wet salde by the facts already addoced, and it is seen that the fever was contagious as well as infectious.—Ibid.

By the recent arrivals from Shanghai we are in possession of dates up to the 28th August, On the 25th markets were reported to be ge nerally improving. Long Cloths and Woollens had both advanced in price, and for the former there was a brisk demand, more particularly for White Goods, which were scarce.

The new Silk was arriving fast, and it was estimated that 5000 Bales had found purs chasers, prices had advanced on the late news arriving, $825 being paid for equal portions of finest and best No. 2 Tatlee.

Teas were also held at higher rates owing to the opening prices paid in Canton,

The war with the Kaffis was proceeding with much spirit and determination, attended with success, that we are loid to anticipate their total defeat, and the restoration of tranquillny to the Colony.

For sometime "past the authorities have been on the alert in consequence of inforination received from the Cowloon Mandarin that a Junk, having the appearance of a Chinese War Boat had committed various acts of piracy in the neighbouring waters; on Friday after- poon last a Boat, at anchor near the Salt Junks at East Point, and answering in every particular the description given of the piratical craft, was warded and searches by Mr Inspector Smithers accompanied with a body of armed Policemen, in pursuance of a wattant from the Acting Chief Magistrate. There were found.

The crew, 24 in number, were made priso ners, and after an examination at the Police Court, were handed over to their own Govern inent, as also the boat, with her arms and

munition.

There can be no doubt of the character of a

boat so well prepared for action, forgetting altogether the clue which led to her capture: and the Magistrates deserve no little credit for their vigilance in this instance. Although only 24 prisoners were taken, that numbers must have boon far form the complement of her crew, the Boat being capable of mounting 60 oars, which were so projected as to compel the Ins pector to effect ? boarding at the bows,

We have the pleasure to announce the arrival in Hongkong, of a distinguished Vocalist & Violinist Monsieur Halata, a member of the Royal Acca demy and Opera of Paris," who purposes in the course of the following week to offer a Serion of Musical entertaintments. The novelty of such recrea tion in this Colony, will in itself no doubt ensure the artist all the success his t-lenta entitle him to.

Went out to the ridge to wards Stock's country and could see innumerable kraals burning-the fring was continued through. out the bush for some miles It appeared evident that our whole force was engaged. This evening the troops returned, bringing at the corps of a Capo Corps man, several sovorely wounded men, i fear one or two mortally In all there are about 16 or 18 wounded, among whom are Capt Bir H.

DEFEAT OF THE KAFFIRS NEAR PORT PEDDIE We have the satisfaction of announcing that des- patches have just reached town, brought by La His set. c. M., containing particulare of very spirited engagement with the Kars yesterday at the kraal of the Kaffir chief Stock, and in which the enemy was utterly defeated, with a Inas variously estimated at from 300 to 600 men. There appears to be no mistake as to the character of this engagement, and which may be considered as a fair trial of strength between the combatents, and who appear to have been very nearly equal in number. The vast superiority of our forces was never for an intant doubtful The Kaffe seduced by their recent astonishing successes, are said to have exhibited, at the outset, great daring, not shunning the engagement, but challenging the troops to come on, an invitation which, in this in- stance, there was no backwardness in sccepting. This applica, however, only to Stock's Kaffics, as in the subecquent and most successful engagement, the enemy was taken entirely by surprise, and would geem to have been almost totally destroyed. The loss on the side of the troops is again surprisingly small, amounting only to two killed and some out teen or fifteen wounded-among the latter being three officers, namely, Captain Sir Harry Darell, 7th Dra-rell, Capt. Wolpels, R. E., and Comet Bunbury. goon Guarda, Captain Walpole, a x., and Cornet It appears that when our force of Fingoes, Hotten- Bunbury, 7th Dragoon Guards. About 100 guns tola, dec., proceeded on their march from the place fell into our hands, and upwards of 1,000` assegnis. The effect of this defeat, at this particular juncture, is likely to be most important. This will be appa rent. when it is known that information has been re- ceived that Kreili's Kaffre, in great fores, are ac tually moving on the colony, and who there is now some reason to believe, will hesitate before they ap pronch the frontier, and whe way indeed be induced, by the sharp punishment thus inflicted upon their countrymen, to relinquish their enterprise, and fall back upon their own territories. The conduct of the whole of the troops Engaged appears to have been admirable.

| of their encampment last night, they soon found they were near a large body of Kaffis. It would seer that the latter did not see the whole force there, and backowed them to come on, calling them cowards, &c. Before they had done, however, they changed their tone, and were erging for mercy. Colenal Somered having attacked Block's kraal, a number of Kaffis, who were waiting near the Hib River, hearing the ring, moved forward to assist their frienils, and thus got between toro fires. A met awful slanghler then ensued in the bush for many hours, and at Isat upon the flat, where some huo. dreds were cut up like shoop.

COLONIAL GOVERNORS.

The lost Trinidad journala exhibit a display of mutual good feeling between Governor and go verned which is rare, wo regret to say, in the his. tory of our colonial dependencies; rere, because it is notorious to all coloniala that the Dowing street policy, with respect to their officers administering the government of colonies, is to value them in versely as they stand in the scale of popularity. This principle, in later days, was more fully deve- loped by Lord Gray, who was the originator of the policy of prohibiting Governors from receiving any testimonial of respect or attachment which a gra- teful people might be dispond to present them, either during the continuance of their government or at its close.

The point, however' to which we are anxious to direct the attention of our rendere is tnis. In the addreas of the onlod Legislative Council to his Excellency Br H. Macleod, on his resigning that WACMURRAY & Co. have just received di- government, we find the followinfi sentence: Wa Ject from Bagland a splendid assortment of trust we may be permitted also to allude to a sub- Britannia metal and other Goood, consisting of— ? jeat too snored for so public a notice, were it not 12 Balen Spanish Biripes, for the benefit of the

THE SUGAR-DUTIES.

We dwell upon these facur for the purpose of showing the suger-growers that they can no longer hope to procrastinate the equalization of duty The power of the country to contame, the desire of the country to procure sugar, is incrensing in a much more rapid ratio than their power of production The approved fircul Joctrine that losper duties sald? greater aggregate revenue, does not hold when the field of supply is artificially limited. Ministers cannot allord to throw away a million and a half of Terenue, and neither can they revert to the old high duties. They have noting for it but to ashmit assembly while the other sections decided the qces.ral election would, in almost any form of diwela. sugare at the rome duty. The great body of the consumers, and Ministers, tif they have common rease in this matter,) must be banded against the sugar growers if they attempt to make a stand upon the prective system. And the corn-growers at the best no very trustworthy silice of the West In dians-when stripped of their own protectivo dutics, will, like the fox that foot his tail in a tmp, wish to reduce all the community to their own condition, They have, moreover, at this moment a special grudge against the West Indians for supporting Peel. The resolutions of which Mir Hume has given notice for Tuesday next, are on the whole well suit ?ed to meet the exigencias of the sugar-grou era' care.

The Protectionist ninority have not achieved so much credit or success in the House of Cummons as to come before the Peers with overbearing influence; and the Duke of Richmond's exhibition on Monday did not tend to establish a good footing for "the Country party" in the ensuing debates.

The Chairman (Mr Aglionhy, in the absence of Lord Ingestre, who had retired) replied briefly to the inquiries of Mr Clarke.

HISTORY OF THE PUJAUB AND THE BIKU9.

In 1834, Mr Henry T. Prinsep, then Beeretary of the Indian Government, published at Calcut?a | arolume on the political life of Ranjeet Singh, and the origin of the Sikh power in the Punjanb, with some account of the character, laws, and customs of the Sikhs: which work originated in this win. From the time of our comexico with the Sikha in 1808, as protector of the territory. lying betreen the Eolej and the Junna, the Glo verminent was constantly appealed to in disputes between the chiefs, and their neighbourn or depen- dents. These disputes often involved questions of grout intricacy in reference to Sikh customs, and gave the Government a good deal of trouble. A Inst. in 1880, Lord William Bentinck calked upon two of the “Politirals,” who were employed in the s?nies of the Punjsub, for reports upon the whole of the Bikh story; and Captain William Aturray and Captain (an Sir C) Wade sent in two volu- minous papers, that of Captain Murray being part-

Dr. Bowring said, that unless they wore endowed with the spirit of prophecy they could not answer these questions. The Report itself was the best evidence of the great attention the Directors had paid to the concerns of the Company. He had long been impressed that more power should be delegated to the Director, if the colony was to be saved. He despaired of Parliamentary interferen- ce, as that which was remote and distant obimized little surntion from the Imperial Legislature. The wrongs of thoumnds and tens of thousands were unattended to from that cause. He cordially canicularly elaborate. curred in the propriels of throwing the whole “It was," orya Mr Prinsep, “the result of mach weight of responsiblity upon the Board; and re-reading and research, and was prepared from juiced at its resolution, that unless something was materials collected during the whole period of his slone, and that promptly, the whole responsibility residence amongs the Sikha He had evidently would be thrown upon the Government. He mo- consulted with care all the Persian and other books ved the adoption of the Report.

Et was the intention of the Governor-Geweral to request Captain Murray to recont kia report and from a volume from its materiais, so as to put the public in possession of us information: but that valuable officer died before the design spuld be car tied into effect. Mr Prinsep therefore undertook the task; making Captain Murray's report the basis of his volume, but adding information contain. ed in the report of Captain Wads or derived from other sources; among which was a manuscript Persian history, placed at the disposal of Mr Prinsep by Sir Charles Metcalfe.

Mr Watson and other proprietors expressed great confidence in the Directors, nad on carnest hopa that the Report should be unanimously adopted."

General Briggs devproented the carrying on a war with the Natives. He thought that we should never be able to conquer the island without exter-blo inimating the natives.

The Report was then adopted unanimously. Bo- me routine business was gone through; after which due acknowledgment was paid the Chairman, and the Court was dissolved.—Supplement to the Spectator, June 6.

LOOKING FOR SUPPORT IN THE WRONG PLACE, There was a time when a surgeon was thought to do less than half his duty if he only fomented a sprain: bo was expected to mutter a prayer or spoll over the wounded limb at the same time, There way more of reason is the obstinacy with which people clung to this prejudice then we are now willing to admit. It was palpable enough that the sprain was cured; but whether ths was effected by the spell or the fomentation it was not so easy to say. Experiment alone coukl docide ; but nobody wished to be the corpus eile on which the experi- ment of dispensing with one or other element of the composite process was to be tried: the safer course was to try both. It is well for us, who are accustomed to see the fomentation work by itself, to laugh at those who paid bangomely for the su perfluous benediction; but without this experience we would do as they did—try both.

It is this consideration that makes one tolerant of the Bishop of Exeter's opposition to the Religious Opinion Rellef Bill. Popery certainly has to great extent, reliquisbed is hold on the nations faith. When we look about for the operative causes of the change, we olmerre that sermons have been preached and books published, but also that lawe have been made sgoinst it. “It may be true,” says a logicinu liko Henry of Exeter, "that reason- ing and argument have expelled the sickness of erroneour faith forms the antional mind; but I ae that penal laws have been levelled against it-bow ain 1 to know whether orguments or penalties hare be the more efficacious ↑ or whether a combina tom of the two may not be indi-pesamble? It is safer to go on as our fathers did, and employ both * There is so much graceful modesty in ihla law estimate of the efficacy of argument by such an inveterate controversialist—in a professional con- troversialist, it may be added-that, were anything Jess important than liberty of thought at stake, one might be seduced to give in to it. "But the positivo of the Bishop of Exeter is ant so strong as that of the unfortunate wight who insisted upon having a spell muttered over the vineyer and brawo paper Jaid upon his sprained ankle, – We have some ex- perience to enable us to decide on the efficacy of Penal laws; and that experience is against the Bishop.

Our Singapore Correspondent informs un thai Colonel firereton of the Royal Artillery, who arrived here in the Brigonda, will ultima. tely proceed to Borneo to join Mr Broke, after having consulted with the A-friral on the pub- je-1 of furtitying Labuan and Sara-wak. Should them prore to be no foundation for this report, there can be little doubt that what is anticipa led therein, the subject having attracted atten- tion in England, will at no dutent period be fully carried out.

la consequence of the death of his brother, Lord Jens Rust has found it necesary to postpone anul neat Monday the d'ecussion of the sugar duties, At this late period of the station with a long and angry controversy in store, it is impossible not to desite that the postponement might have been avoid ed We can only hope that all ndes will now sea then ersity of interposing noidle and frivolous ob Jacks in the way of a fair dacussion. It is scarcely accessory to particularize the topics; but there cer Lily is no time now for personal accusations, or for repung questions on which the Legislature has raw to a deliberate decision.

Guorenor of Macao. Macao, 22nd August, 1846," In direct opposition to the established usage of the British Government (where special treaties have not been formed with foreign powers for the mutual surrender of Criminals) the police Magistrate issues a warrant for the apprehension of the two Portuguese on the charge of a robbery committed in Macats where the court of Hongkong have not the slightest jurisdiction. The parties were arr?l- e accordingly, and after a nights confinement brought before the sapiout Magistrate, but no man appeared to accuso, nor was there the slightest evidence brought against them. The poor Magistrate was between horns of e dilemma-he had not courage to do his duty and discharga thom-neither could he formally commit thein. They were detained until the affair should be laid before Sir John Davis, and to the astonishment and indignation of every body, they were oven put on board a vesket and sent to Maezo prisoners.

THE LATE MINISTER,

Bir R. Peel mondo bis triumphal exit from offico in a speech worthy of the occasion. He judgment was shown in the admirable temper which animat ed the whole, and in the manner in which he took up his ground for the future.

He does not go into opposition. So we under stood him to imply four or five months ago, and his farewell speech confirms that impression. There has been a good deal of wrangling at the interpretation to be put upon that portion of tho speech which relates to affairs of party--some nicely balancing words. and insisting that they pledge the spenker to nothing others insisting that they must be considered in reference in their general tonour. The latter, no doubt the just view. The speech was one of generalities, and not of specialties. And to expect that the exient Minister would volunteer a schedule of particular details in which he should be pledged, (? supposi tion involved in the complaint that he does not stand pledged on particular points,) is puerile lis intent was no clear as possible. As we understand him, he is henceforward to consider questions that come before him in seference to their circums lances, their merits, and their practical effects. k is to be observed that such a course would set aside the details of some past meneures to which the late cabinet may have been commised; making him free to take them up de novo with the full lights of the time and on their own proper grounds. Rewing upon what he said, we should not be aur. prised if Sir Robert Peel were even to abomain crossing over to the Opposition benches, and w: to take his seat on the stinisterial side an an indes pendent supporter of the Queen's Governmom. It must he allowed that such a departure from routine would be as surtling as any of the more substantial innovations which he has made in the conduct of party; though it would quite accord with the spint of his change from the service of party to that of his country.

The witness then went into further details on the subject of the familiarities. One morning, sho || 1810, when her miatter's bushand was absent, she went into the bedroom and saw her mistress and Mr Braine in had together. This took place at Hongkong. When Mr Mathyssons returned to Hongkong, the witness accompoined them to En- glind. When on board the ship Mir Matthyssens slept in one cabin, and her mistress and the ch. in aunther cabin.

Evidence was then given to show that no action

We bave not sites to follow Mr Martin through the wumeroas dotsile unil tabular statements with which he supports his peculiar id sa relativa to the policy, in a financial and commercial point of view, of our existing arrangements with the Celestial Empire. The conclusions, however, at which he arrives may be briefly stated. They are, first-That it was almost impossible to hire solerted a worse position for a ouluny than Hongkong; and, secon dly -That, au far as our present information ex. tenb, Chus.n would appear to be the best, the multitudinote disadvantages which combine to render llongkong an undesirable are summcil op in A raport premated by Mr Martin to Losed Stanley, in Narember last :—~

were to represent, so as by trying the lastes of the Chinese markets and those also of the court and is lands of the Indian cevap, and placing their wares in competition with other similar foreign products fered in those parts, it might be ascribuied what were the peculiar descriptions of French products for which an outlet could be most advantageously found. The instructions of the government al-o er braced the propriety of an investigation into the indigenous materials, maturator manufactured, of China and the other countries visited, which might be suitable for home comsumption, and constitute a skritable basis for the creation or enlargement of in- terchang. This diplomatic commercial expedition is now on it retorn from its lengthened voyago of industrial discovery. M. Itter, one of the commer cial delegaten, has, indeed, anticipated the merival of his collengua, bringing with him a wast variety of objects classified and collected with the greatest diligence and discrimination; and the miniser of commerce has opened a spacious loon in his hotel for the public exhibition of these productions of Chinese ingenuity nud industry. It would be well that such an opportunity should not be Inst by the manufacturers of this country, so many of whom are indeed in the habit periodically of vailing Fran ce, and other parts ofthe continent, to consult tusfca and changes, to watch improveniente, and compare noles of progress. In the relation given in the Pazia popers of this exhibition, it is noticed that There are yarns and fabrics of silk, collon, of Bix above all of quality to render desperate our manufacture of no goods There is the loma ising me, whose fineness and whiteness would defy ?ur beautiful cambrirs; by the side of the fabric there is the yarn of which it is inde; with the raw material which gives the thread, for M.

But we belong to a country Christian benevolencs do not keep pace with the and an age in which the efforts of the cause of prosecution of other objects, Mew inodes of living them.

Our support for the Cobden Testimonial has been asked, and we are not disposed to with-

The request has put - us upon looking a little more closely into the fact of the case, and into the nature or effect in general of such premiums for irregular pub- lic services.

First, let us correct a mista impression which a former paper of our is likely to have imparted. Wo understood at that time that Mr Coldea was a very wealthy inanufacturer -- "cotton lord," who was willing to dovole his time to the public service in the same way and for the sain? inducements as any other lord -h?t is to say, at his own expense, and for the sake of the fame. It appears that our no- tion of his circumstances was at least oxag- gerated. The case with which Mr Cobden obtained the leadership of the manufacturing world was due, not in any way to his standing in point of wealth, but to his commanding PHE undersigned begs to solicit the attention of power of intellect in the particular affair in Commanders of ships and the public to his e-hand.

But when it is proposed to extend such do natives to other objects and other persons, we are brought to a pause. One ground on which we have heard the money-testimonial advocat. ed is that it would be so advantageous to socura Mr Cobden as a public servant. There is nothing before the public to show what would be his value in other public questions besides that which he had mustered, He possesses a very acute and vigorous understanding, it is not so certain that it is very comprehensive in it grasp. Some things in his conduct raise doubts in our minds; and, judging for ourselves only. we must see what Mr Cobden dogs an other subjects before we can estimate his services in anything but Free-trade agitation,

Supposing that he were available in all mo- vements, what would be the effect on giving bitn such a retainer for future services↑ would place lum in a position to cast about for other opportunition to display bis zeal, and might induce him to make opportunities where they did not exist. It would establish him as a profesional promoter of agitations; would make it his interest, or at least his duty, to keep some disturbing turmoil always astir--would turn him into an O'Connell." And what an example it would be to other men, less abla perhaps, but not less active, and much le honest! The gift should only be allowed for work done; never for the future.

HOW THE SUGAR DUTIES ANE TO BE SETTLED. The Timer is confident that Ministers will settle the Sugar Duties after the fashion it announco. 'The Camicie is equally confident that they will not. In both cases this excess of confidence (or more pro- peely of its affectation) springs from sources about equally respectable. The Timse has to support a character for early, exchive, and authentic infor- mation; and it tries to do thie (vide its corn-law pro- pheoy as well as the present) by boldly asserting Boy plausible rumour that reaches it, taking credit for iu prescience should it stamble on the truth, and swearing that the falsehood was true once should it turn out to be erroneous. The Chronicle is doubly percharged with spleen at present. The Times is giving itself airs of patronising kituisters and being To their conddenco which the Chronicle bas oot courage to assume; and, what is still worse, Minis ters appear to be going jo act in definuse of all the ignorance and absurdity that has been printed in the Chronicle on the subject of the sugar dation for the last three or four years. The Chronicle, there fore, with a tragical nir, protests that it cannot be- Keve Ministers capable of deserting all their former principles-meaning thereby its own opinions, not This is the rank charlataneria of journalism. We believe that the Chrone knows as much about the matter as the Timer, and the Times as the Chro micle. We believe that the version of the sugar duty settlement to which we carrency la Sa- turday, in our reliance upon the source whence we derived it, may be traced, like the revelations of the Times, Lack to the circular of Messrs Truemen and Cook, who told the gobe mouches of Miceing lane what the Cabinet intended to do before there was a Cabinet iPexistence.

And yet we believe we can tell pretty nearly how the sugar duties will be settled. ? Lord Jahn Itus well frankly told the House of Commons on Thurs. day stening the views he entertained respecting the ecclesiastical squabbles of Ireland, sud his de termination hal to act upon them because public opinion was not ripe for such measures. This de-system prepares and keeps ready at diffone: agerred that such a course would an aside the claration is exactly in the spirit of what Lo Pal- merston indicated when he pointed out to his TI- Ton constituents the important characteristic of the British Constitution, that it enabled even valu able reforms to be thwarted, and thus postponed, until public opinion land recognised their value. In this spirit we believe Ministers are prepared to deal with the suger duties. They have their own opi- sione-not very congruous, perhaps, on the subject -but they will do what public opistua allows them

rite of party, one might come to the opinion that these relays of statesren which the representative and halls of the political road, and which are har breathless team, are a most excellent invention. An old Tury set of hacks may tug out of a rul or up a hill, which more sensitive Whigs migle shy and boggle at We should be sorry indood to sor the day when John Bill becomes reckless of what team he drives, pre v dal they obey the whip and get him on.

To get rid of the grey wheel horse because he was a starter, and replace him by the ronn, spoils hirmony of pace as well as sym metry of enlour; whilst, if ous yokes a gaunt, nut- tailed, restless bors, ke Brougham for example, with a well conditional and easy-pacel three, it is but booking passengers for a bronk-down.

We believe that Lord Joho Russell is more thoroughly master of the merits of this question than Say of bis alleagues-or any member of the late Cabinet. We believe, therefore, that eneb a mea. suren as he is likely to propom will be allowed to be substantially just by the majority of those who are immediately engaged to a-y extent in the sugar wade. We believe that what phrases them will be accepted in reliance upon their more intimate and extensive knowledge of the subject by the bulk of t? mercamile community engaged in other pur. suits Lord John's measure has every chance to be received by the great commercial interests an safe and eligible one. They being satisfied, there will be little difficulty with the rest of the nation. Men want at this mament release from party strugs | gles-pormanent, useful, moderate Ministry, They will not be easily movedio diminish the chance of their finding such a one in Lord Jobs Rosell's by rejecting his first measures. They will not op pose a sugar-duty settlement that in well thought of by men of business, to please political adventurers. Lord John's measure will be introduced into the House of Commons; praised by the practical men of business; made the object, out of opposition, but protests by the more judicious free-traders and anti- ilaren; dercely vituperated by the Disraelia, Broughams, and Duncombes; mosthed at by the Ewarts; and in a very short time adopted by both Houses of Parliament as n final settlement.

In short, without pretending to know the exact details of the measure contemplated by the Premier, we have not the least dumbt that his mensure, be it what it may, will be carried. And we really think that the orgens of his Ministry in the press, or more properly those who would fain beams or be thoughs ka organ, are wasting a great deal of unnecessary eloquence upon imaginary cabals and intrigues to defeat him on this question. As to the general features of the measure, no one has any doubt as to what they will be:-Immediate equalisation of the duties on foreign slave grown and free-labour sugar, and the gradual equalisation of the dotius on Brit-havo lapsed into the hands of one side or the other ja? nad ??reign sugar in the course of a limited ps Lord Palmerson kept a natural and strong position riod, certainly not less than three, and we fase by between them.

Resting upon what be anid, we should not be surprised if Str Rubert Peel were even to abstain from crossing or to the Opposition benene, and were to take kis sest on the Ministerial ade as an independent supporter of the Queen's Government. It must be allowed that such a departure from fauld would be as starting as any of the more substantial inovations which he has made in the conduct of! party; though it would quite accord with the spirit of his ebinge from the service of party to that of bis country.

One of the questions on which bis probable course has given time to grant speculation is the Sugar duties, Sir Hubert, pressining Lord John to no set of the political harness is the system of Rowell to be the new Minister, promises his emp relays more useful than in that of the Foreign Deport in carrying forward the same commercial prin. |partment.

His Cabinet endeavoured to satisfy justice, or rather to satisfy appearances, by adopting Captain Donna' new plan' of African blockade, and by a hesitating sanction to Cooly and Negro immigration into the West Indies. The immigration in growing, in spite of officiel bela clet, kept up to the very latest date of Mr. Glad- alone's incombency of the Colonial Office, -os eles not, indeed, originating with him, but not swept away by him. Captain Denman's plan is under trisf. The Sugar duties cannot be justly or sly handled apart from the whole West Indian question; but any Minister who choon to deal with all, comprehensively, vigorously, and promptly, might give the British people choup sugar and put the West Indies on the road to prosperity by the me ret. We do not understand Sir Robert Peel's robervation to convey the shadow of a hint that be would refuse to consider, fairly, and without bias, any measure better ikun bis own, or rather, than phir Gladstone's and Mr Goulburn's, for settling the Sugar-datles.

There is no question as to which we admire or whom prefer. There is a pleasure in being even whisked into nger by Lord Palmerston, so bold is the impulso, on sure the foot, so defiout the unset, so skilfully and safely is the goal attained and torn. ed, though sometimes ni ch?ely shaved,

Yet who, that remmers the Belgian question and its difficulties, can consider Lord Palmerston either basty or rash. If ever there were times and circumstances pregnant with war, it was then. France and Europe were on (iptae, all armed, ready for a rush at each other. It was clear that a slip, a fault, or irritating word, would have produced lo- evitable collision and confusion. Lord Abenlees, by a system of quiet inertia, bus procured peace with France and with America, allaring the fiery pas sions of both during his four or five years' adminie tration. But no vis inertia could have sufficed to preserve the prace of Eutope in 1831. I required action, vigilant interferenon, a boil atitude though conciliatory. A weak minister in England would

Sir Robert Peel fitly closed his speech with a momage of peace-the Oregon question is setled, Lucky Minister!" Ay, lucky are they who take pains to be so. En this instance the luck seems to bave arisen from that judgment which shaped just such a measure as could be offered and adopted without derogation from the honour of either side,

Having laid down his power at the feet of the

majority, Sir Robert Peel loft the House, leaning on the arm of Sir George Clerk; snil, having been recognized outside by a watching multitude-not a mob-he was escorted home to his private house in triumph. There was a contrast to the Minis ter's triumphal ratuen: lle two antagonists-not the most illustrious but the most oberina-came away at the same time: their heads bent down, they seemed to shon recognition; and they were sean to pass away amid the prowls of those who dul know them-lucky to escape in silenen,

When all is done you ask, what is the one great cause for this general anil intense appreliens'o of Sir Robert Peel's merita? It is not merely that he carried the two bille-other men share thit honour. There sarims to be even a parointival reference in part times when he abided by what were not merita Thel le the key to the question: the singular merit of the statem’a. in the popular "oyes, is his unprecedent sacrifice to attain a good

for his country; he acrificed place, power, of that outward "consistency" which is prized so highly; he had the moral courage to brava all obloquy, and morifica to his new convictions a frank avowal of his own past errore in judgment; in a word, he sacrificed the individual to the nation. All is paid, with interest. —Speciator, July 4.

PROBABLE CHANGE IN THE PERMANENT STAFF AT THE COLONIAL OFFICE. A particular duty awaits the next Colonial Min- ister, and we promise that Earl Grey will be quite equal to it.

When Lord John Russell was last in power, as Becretary for the Colonies, he was understood contemplate a change in the personnel of the office It is said that he talked of requesting Me James Si-phen, the permanent Under Srereity, to sccept some other post, in which his great abilities might be more usefully employed. Because they would be removed from a field of conteal. Ch consideration, however, the idea was abandoned, and Me Stephen is still Under Seccetury.

Lord John Russell entere power, no Prime Min istar, with a vigorous coadjutor in Lord Grey: and the same questian ngoi? presents itself, under somewhat altered circumstances. We have no intention here to revive any of the ok! hostilities towards Mr Stephen: since the day when he was the champion of one party, the target of another, aperities have softened, events have mature, and the ends which were to be attained have been in part accomplished. His unquestionable powers for oficial business are remembered more divinely in the calm. But the times, we say, have all. Prejudices have sunk before the march of events i many concessions to Colonial interests, which were dec ?ared impossible, have become, even in his re luctant hands, matters of official routine. Now the change has not reached Mr Stephan himself. Ho in a man of laborious and sochided habits, and his powers have been in great port devoted in a species of self elaboration. But he attained the prime of life some years back, and there is no more stuff of the intellect in elaborate now than there was len summere aga: James Stephen in 1846 is the maine Individual with James Stephen in 1836. He is ill-amorted, therefore, with the present course of affairs, and with the duties that it requires from him. While be remains in the Colonial Office, be Is the impersonation of the oki struggles of which

he was the champion, he cannot fashion bis hood

to the new practices, bet takes to them unkindly:

wherefore ir be an unfitting tool; sad uld recoll?e. tions make bun an object of suspicion where none should be.

The reasons that suggested his resignation for- merly still obtain in all their furce; thoss which militated against it have decayed; and new ones requiring a change of handa have sprung up in the interval There is therefore a strong expectation that Lord Joho Rumella original intention will be put in force.--1bid.

might be drawn to Hongkong. We inake the ? assertion after much consideration, that in its Clock, on the menings presious in publi. infancy, there never was a British colony that had such a chance of rising at ance into com. mercial importance, People talk of the im becile acts of the government, but it is their wicked acts that have proved so injurious, not only to the iotacast of individuals, but also to the public reveous. It appears as if some wily minds here gradually drawn a net over every branch of our prosperity, Bir John Davis being a mere puppet, allered by hopes of revenue, or alarmed by reports of insurrections, The re- gistration ordinance, and other legislative abo minations which disgrace the statutes, did not originate with Sir John Davis. Officials still in China talked of them balore his Excellency's arrival, and however caesurable he may be in listening to those who have betrayed the on- lony, it must be allowed that the plan of ope- ration for its commercial annihilation was con- cocted by longer beads then either Governor or Lieutenant Governor.

But to return to Mercator, we would remind him that though Hongkang is not a market, it is a plass where goods are transhipped to a very large extent, and as a port for tranship. mont, it is, and always will be, a plage of value. in a commercial point of view. It may be said that transhipments might be made at Ma car. Very true; but foreign merchants have had some experience of Macao, and we quas tion whether under any circumstances they would be willing to store goods there. To houses_largely engaged in the coast and India trade, Hongkong is a place of importance even if they do not sell a bale of goods in a year. A reference to the shipping list will show that in August and September, 30 vessels sailed from Hongkong to Shanghai and other ports on the coast, the arrivals being 90 ; or in all, 56 vessels visited the port for commercial purposes which could not be conducted in Canton. Of these vessels eighteen were under foreign co- A Correspondent of the China Mai suggests lours, antoring the port, receiving and deliver. that shippers of opium intended for sail in Can- ing freight, without paying one cent of part ton should make the drug deliverable by bill of charges.

By this arrangement thero will be a saving of 86 per chest of charges. We do not subscribe to Mer entor's assertion that "three years experience has proved Hongkong to be worse than useless in a commercial point of view."

MACAO. The paragraph which appeared in our Con temporary's issue of Thursday headed Instr rection in Macao" will have created no little anxiety amongst the community to bear some thing new from that quarter, our inability to supply this, we can only attribute to the circum stauce alluded to in our last publication viz. the stoppage of the usual mode of communica tion in consequence of the resistance

the proposed tax on the fast-boatmen. We have no reason whatever to doubt the ne curacy of our contemporary's report: which so fa as the application for assistance from the Governor of Macan, to His Excellency Bir John Davis is concemed, appears to be con- firmed by the fact of the "Vulture's departure early on Friday moming (but we believe with out any call on the garrison) and her presence there will no doubt tend to the equal security and protection of all the foreign Residents,

It is true that, as a market, longkong has proved a decided failure; but it is equally true that the commercial community do derive con- siderable advantage from the colinization of the island. Previons to pointing out thom ad- vantages we would wish to direct the attention of the Editor of the Afail to the following pa ragraph in his comments upo Mercator's latior, → It lu the fashion to attribute all the blame of this unfet. tensie sale of affairs to the Jumal Government; but les g?range that the same opinsken has prevailed from the founda. tive of the Colear, and that in the face of it, the great bads of the marchsata shogengsted t-Hongkong and erected #1- pensive dwelling konsas and godowns, as if oching more were wanting to turn trade out ufim old channels, and draw tion which have

benspected, and which no message of Outcomes could

do much to bring about,"

We think that on consideration Marontor will be satisfied that he has only viewed she side of the picture. We are aware that many highly respectable firms have left, or are about to leave the colony, after investing large same in buildings for which they cannot And Lenants, They complain, and with justico, that while they pay government individually from ?50 to ?300 per annum for the ground upon which their houses are built, their property has been rendered comparatively valueless by imod. diing system of literfurence with trade. ?s a market Hongkong valueless at present, and thousands are sunk in buildings which give no As a port of transhipment, it is of in- portanos, though mod Merchants will intrust this branch to a Clerk or employ an Agent.

If the Gentleman who makes this statement, will enquire of any of his mercantile friends who were in the colony three years ago, they will inform him, that at that period, Hongkong had very considerable trade; he may also ascertain that nearly all the large mercantile houses were built, or in the course of building before the arrival of Sir John Davis; and that whatever complaints were made againa Sir Henry Poulinger for his trestinent of the mor- erotile cominuity with reference to land, it was never asserted that his policy was anti-parliament of the great principle stated by: Lord commercial. That Sir Henry Pottinger would have made Hongkong a place of great com. mercial importance--one of the greatest mar kets in the east—is our firm opinion.

We can scarcely quote a more striking illustra ting of this change than the manner in which the la gislature has discussed the question. Only seven years ago the thon prime ministar denounced that a made which his successor and his owo friends have since mid to be only justice. At that time.and for years before, all parties in the House of Lords wore equally opposed to com law repeal, and sul not listen to the racy Lard King, or the mill Par! Faswilliam, when he beeought them to examine the subject About that period, even when the Whig were in office, the House of Commons turned with disdain from any discussion of the question, and tried to laugh down or cough dowo as so enthusiast or bore every man who supposed it possible to procure an alteration of the corn inw. We remember that when Mr Villiers first undertook the taak of opening the eyes of the country gentlemen to their true inte rest, he was most impatiently listened to. None of the oual parliamentary interrations were forgotten, and many unusual saises were employed to drown his voice. Before the discussions were finally at an end, his subject commended the most serious et tention of the house, and he was listened so with as much def-rence and amidst silence se profound an the minister hirasel Disregarding, the eneers of reception he received from his pitty-for the biga, his associatre the prejudicra of his class, the cold of whom he was one, were as firmly attached to the corn laws as their opponents, and advocated a fixed duty, which Sir Rt Perl always consistently and melly opposed.-Mr Villiers annually renewed bis motion, sanually acquired en secesion of strength, and successively comman led more and more atten tion, till the Parliament that bad refused to listen, drunk in his words and paved, in substance the very measure he demanded.

1800

Brougham having caught fire by vice of its foulnem, Lord Grey promptly threw down a bucket of cold water, upon which there was the usual jet of senul, moke, and petulant sparks; a second bucket, how ever sealed the matter.

The first reflection that occurs upon the incident le, that Lord Brougham ought to be regularly swept. Parliament, the wisdom of which does not disdain, directing the sweeping of fool vants, ought 10 con trive some machinery suited to the purpose of keep ing Lord Brougham clean and unfu. The accomu lation of amat in Lord Brougham most be attended with such accidents as that which disturbed the House on Tuesday, if the precautions applicable to all other foul vento be not adopted. The allem ran through the town that no opposition had broken out in both houses of Parliament, but tranquillity was speedily restored by the, intelligence that it was only Lord Brougham in a blaze in one house, and Me H.

Lord Brougham's opposition is both late and early, It is late, inasmuch as it is an oppaaltion to himself when on the wonksack, in the Grey administration. 1le makes himself to task for Inches of a most culpa ble character at that period, and indeed ever since up to the eventful last Tuesday. The opposition is early, as it relates to the appointment of the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas by the present govern ment, and as there has not been tiese to ascertain whether a defect in forms would or would not be corrected. Let us bear Lord Brougham's self-eri-

mination:-

The altack of Mr T. Daucombe has called from Lord John Russell some explanation of what he atendendo and not to do. The most important declaration relates to Ireland:—

Whatever fuk may be found with Lord John Russell's declaration, want of frankness in certainly not imputable to him. He is not for taking people by surpriss, or for suffering them to decoive them. selves, lodoed, to guard against any passible nis take of his intentions, he has laid more strees on what may be unpopular in his purposes than on designs which may be acceptable in all.

I see, generally spooking, that the Church of England, that the diesenters of Eugland, that the Established Church of Boolland, that the Free Church of Scotl:od, that the Establish· ed Church in Ireland, that the Protestant Associa lion in Ireland, and lastly, that the Roman Catholica of Ireland themselves, are all vehemrat in oppsition to mich a plan.

We do ant concur in all these views. We do not believe that the eversion of the Church of the minority in Ireland, would be politically injurious, nor that it would be the commencement of a reh gious war. Least of all do we believe that it would alienate the Protestante, who, being for the most part a propietary body, and a minorily, are bound by every is of interest and sympathy to England. la Beolland, history rerords none of those results that Lord John Romelt anticipates in Ireland from people of the united empire, the Ministry ought to the overthrow of a Church not the Church of the be committed (hot, bear), and it will be according people.

Brougham having caught fire by view of its foulsen, Lord Grey promptly threw down a bucket of cold water, upon which there was the usual jet of out, smoke, and petulant sparka; a second bucket, bow ever sealed the matter.

The first reflective that occurs upon this incident ir, that Lord Brougham ought to be regularly swept. Parliament, the wedom of which does not diadein directing the sweeping of foul resta, ought to con- trive some machinery suited to the purpose of keep. ing Lord Brougham clean and safe, The accumu lation of smut in Lord Brougham must be attended with such accidents so that which disturbed the House on Tuesday, if the precautions applicable to all other foul vents be not adopted. The alarm ran through the town that an opposition had broken out in both houses of Parliament, but tranquillity was speedily restored by the, intelligence that it was only Loid Brougham in a blage in nou bones, and Mr H. Baillle on the auger duties, mistaken for Major Beresford, in the nther.

Lord Brougham's opposition is both late and early. It in late, inasmuch as it is an opposition to himself when on the wockack, in the Grey administration. He takes himself to ask for laches of a most culpa ble character at that period, and indeed ever since up to the eventful Inst Tuesday. The apposition is early, as it relates to the appointment of the Chief Justice of the C?mmon Plexi by the present govern- ment, and on there has not been time to ascertain whether a defect in forms would or would not be corrected. Let os hear Lord Brougham's self eti. mination:-

The act which, of all others. I most deeply la. ment having sanctioned, when I had possession of the great evil, was the amenting to a most improper, as I always thought, and most unconstitutional pro ceeding, which took place at that time—and I do not deny that I was responsible for it,that fallow ing, in reference to the office of Lord Chief Justior -to whom the set of parliament gives a alary of 10,000 a year, which Lord Tenterden enjoyed dur- ing ku lif?—an arrangarment to be made, with the consent of your tordships, who ought not to bare consented, by which arrangement the salery was reduced to 8,000 a year. ? ? | bare hitherto refrained from bringing the subject before your ford abips, though always wishful to call attention to it, because I was entreated not to introduce it by my Doble and learned friend (Lord Denman), who re presented to me the pair which any discussion on The point would cause him, and the motives to which a reference to it might be attributed. A judge more otterly beyond all possibility of being influenced by such considerations never existed, and a man caring less about money than the provost Lord Chief Jus tice is not to be found in the whole dominions; but that is no reason why I should abstain from notle ing the subject now, when there may be a repetition of the same tropic-and I attach no invidious mean ing to the word"

The subject is thus treated as a branch of the pro- fective cause. Thure is imminent danger of abo-p Chief Justices under the new tariff, and it quid? scares one to think that for more than dezen years the laws have been administered in the Courte of Westminster al ons and two thousand a year below the statue price.

Lord Brougham seriously impeaches himself when he tells us that he refrained from noticing and redressing this art wrong at the particular desire of the principal sufferer. Every one knows the de licacy of Lord Brougham, but, famous as he is for delicacy, this was no cave for it. The public duty.

“Lord Brougham: He knew of the proceeding afterwards, as it was communicated to him,

Earl Grey said, that at that time the attention of the government was particularly directed to the report of Lord Ashburton's committee, and many varies were reduced in consequence. The noble and learned lord was Lord Chancellor at the time, and was aware of the proceeding, for it could not have taken place withouthus napotion. There could be no doubt then that the noble lord was commissur of and authorised what had taken place, for it was his business more than that of any other member of the government to look into the matter

practicability. As they sue disposed of, and the men to join a Government to be carried on with field cleared of other abuses, the grievance at tre out coercion, who had lost their places in mainland's joke will occupy undivided attention, and taining coercion to be indispensable. If intended the further aboyance of the question will be im. merely as complimentary, the preposal was most possible, But we must wait that time, and secure unfortunate, for it seemed to imply that the cole the right of the cabin before meddling with the men solicited could as roadily re-model and re-grievance of the Church, adjust their opinions on coercion as on corn

The altack of Mr T. Daucombe has called from Lord John Russell some explanation of what he intende in do, and not to do. The most important declaration relates to Ireland:

"[now say that i retain my opinions with respect to the Protestant Charch, and with respect to to

The latter part of Lord Gray's argument is, we think, quite around. When be tells us that with man Catholic eadowment; but I do not think that, in his own knowledge was Lord Brougham's cog.it nizance of the arrangements, we implicitly believe him, for no one ever doubts Lord Grey's elements; but when be contands that Lord Brougham at have been informed of the facts, because it sena kis business sad his duty to be so, he raises a strong presumption against his own assertion.

We must confess that Lord Brougham bas all the probabilities on his side, when be arons that he neglooted his baslam and duty, and the hardest de mand on credibility that Lord Gray has ever made la conveyed in the sertion that Lord Brougham know what it was peculiarly and specially his busi- nose and duty to know.

The subject next in interest in Lord John Ro sell's speech was that of the English franchise, and the doctrine of finality, which, as we have often stated, was not Lurd John Russell's, but Lord Althorpe's Elis lordsihp explains that his

present gyalam, but to any scheme of representation objection was and is, not to amendments of the superseding the Reform Bill. Much may certainly be done in the way of improvement within the frame of the Reform Bill, and the completion of it according to the design will strengthen the m for accomplishing whatever more may remain to

Sir Robert Pool recommended his sliding scale of three years ago me sellement, but Lard Joke Bomall refused so to accept it, and invited the agitation to upset the so-called arutlemet last Now Ghost we wen not discouraged by the dif

I believe that with respect to what some have proposed, via, the destruction of the Pro-be done. tokent Chorch ia Ireland, there could be no worse or more fatal measure mentioned by parliament. (Hoar, hear.) I believe that i would be polically injurious, because I believe that many of the most loyal in Ireland, many of those the most attached to the connection with this country, would be alienated by the destruction of the church, to which they are foodly attached. (Hear, hear.) 1 believe

But let us give Lord Brougham's rejoinder:— The noble sarl had stated that he ought to have done that under the circumstances which the noble | gl earl was himself unable to do, vix: pass an act of parliament under circumstancos which it was im- ? th possible to do: that is, to pass an not when he was, as the noble earl was hirmaolf now, in a minority l? | is that house.

"The last in one of those hits which Mrs Blipstop on always honours wilka" marry come up." Every F. one feels that a disputant who says queendom instead ve of kingdom must have the worst of the argument of But even though Lord Broughan saya kingsl?m in stead of queendom, we cannot follow his ranzoning it that-beanuse the majority of the Lords were with E bim against the re fuction of the Chief Justices' sa- Iaries, he was right in acquiescing in the irregular, ed much-coodamaed arrangement of withdrawing the matter from theragnizanta and legislative judgment of ofthe House. According in his own statement, he sat to quietly and silently on the woofsack while bio ben. pl thegn of the King's Beck and Common Pleas were undergoing a robbery the most scandalous, and of re dangerous example in his judgment, and when the pa ory of thieves from his lips would at once have delivered her.

Lord Campbell observes that this confemion re- minds him of a certain Popo who passed sentanes ol upon kimsvit judico ma cremari. It is more like the case of a vicious oki beldam who acta fice to her own pellicosts in order to fire the house. Lord is (irey took the proper step of rolling, the harridan roughly in the carpet.

I hold the same languago now:-but if you ask me whether I bind myself to the maint? ennace of the existing law in its details, or if you any that that is the condition on which the agri. cultural interest giro me their support, I say that that condition I will not accept their support." But dill more remarkable partage occurs in that speech as to the extent to which the expectant minister would deal with the corn laws under parL- cular cireumatiners; and which is peculiarly ap plicable to those which really did exist at the bo zning of the present salon. Referring to the

?arges which had been made against th? cora Aw, na to its injurious effect on the condition of the labouring poor, and as to its cadency to ag gravate their sufferings. Sir Robert Poel said: —

**If I could bring myself to think-if I could beliero that an alteration of the corn laws would preclude the risk of such distre? -if 1 thought it woubl ho an electual remedy, in all casca, againal such instances of lamentable sufforing as those which have been described, I world my at once to the agricultural interest.

This tion of the principle of modifying protetiam; and was distinctly the ground on which the argument | the repeal of two important branches of exciss, was taken. The speech of Mr D'lamali, on dileshewed a wise determination to untrammel indus

of these duties render poedful. Thus one uniform policy, session after session, had been followed; all in accordance with the first proforsions of the mi.

In this abort review of the policy pursued in the last five assions, we have not attempted in criticise the manner in while the measures were carried out, our only object has been generally to show that one steady principle has been pursued throughout, equal- nister when he took office in 1841, and with the ly in accordance with the profsations of the Mi-

important messurs of the premont session which yesterday received the royal ament.

We cannot, however, conclude this notice with, out acknowledging the great and douterested sid wbick Sir Robert Peel bar throughout the shule period of his official enteor received from his poli

sell in particular. The entire disregard of all or- dienty party considerations in the various conficts which here taken place in Parliament in support of the grest mesaures of fran-trade, which have been carried during the last five years, which has cha- racterised the course paroval by Lord John Russell, entitle his lordship to the deepest gratitude of the country; and, mure especially, in regard to the charse he has taken during the last six months. Next 10.Sir Robert Peel, there is no indiv?lunt in the state to whose courage and singlemindedness w? pre-so much indebted for ine triumph of thane mesures which have Bowlly established free trade as the irrevocable policy of this country, as we are to the noble lord, But for his la?luence exerted at the most critical moroegi, these measures would not at this moment have passed Into law-Economist, June 27.

The Times juaily remarks that the words inputed are in themselves very vague: to say that “something ought to be done," was only admitting a political verssity, not Caroumble o inima. Another conjectural solution of the suppressed puenge, which we have heard in private coveration, is, that Sir flobert's necummit In 1829 of what occurred in 1925 was verbally in. accurate to the extent of the difference pointed om z and that when the official repost from the editor of Hansard came before him, he struck out the in accurate words,-not the less willingly because they knd already provoked conure.

Our tank is concluded, our labours are at an end, We have seen the great principles for which we have struggled through seven years of doght and difficulty brought to a triumphant, issue, and par manently established in the leg elation of the empire, The records of Parliament are the evidence of our services; the freedom for which wiee men write, and good men sighed, and brave men struggled, has been won pracefully, honourably, noi comples tely. 1?w devised by a jealous, monopolizing, and ungrateful spirit to restrain the bounties of Provi dence, aud fenter the energies of an industrious, a brave, sad a loya! people, have been swept from the statute hook, to take their place in the records of ushonoured history. We have eaten lad the right hand of fellowship to every nation on earth and bid the fond dti on of a brotherhood which will unite the whole family of man. l'ompared with such a victory the triumpha of conqueroar nod the nelieveinenia” of heroes sink into insignificance. Our march has been stained by no bloo-l-uur one- cras is sullied by no teir. There is no regret in the brom of the vietor, and there a son will be none in the heart of the vanquished, for ours is the Triumph not of furen but of reason ? not of s?nbition, but of benevolence; not of a party, but of the uni ted empire; and, we might add, of universel huma- nky. An'there is nothing to cloud the joy of pre- sent encrass, so is there no painfu) uasociatiei cun nected witte the history of the gitution by which that success was obtained.

Coo- vincel of the power of intelligent opinion, we set ourselves to develope that intelligence and to form that opinion.

It is understood that the Insurance Offices which have now a hory interest in Canton will shortly send out Fire Engines of a larger and more efficient kind then have been hitherto available here, but your committee recommend that they be empowered to order at once from England one of the newest and best construction

Your Committee undertake that this shall be exer. cisal wookly and kept in effective condition.

Your Committee recommend that arrangements be made with Chinese Merchants who shall plodge themselves to have available and place at the disposal of the Committee a sufficient number of Conlin to work the Engine, and remove our property and of chopboats to receive it.

It is a notoria ous fact that the Provincial Government either have no control over the mob or, from reason best known to themselves, see fit to?

Meantime we cannot but believe that the Home Government will stir in the matter--the remedy lies in a netshell:-if the Provincial Go vernment have not the power to protest Eng. fishmen, then we will for them, by sending garriano Camon, such being at the proper cost of the natives of the Province,

The Committee recommend that until more uni for a sol efficient wempons can be procured, the members of the association make use of such as they now possess, but propose to order 100 light muskels or Carbinra, with bayonet, cartridge boxes and belts, zinc magazines with cartridges; and to have ma factured here 50 Pikes, for the use of the Parnen gentlemen who do not use firearms, these arms to

The Commilles propose to place themselves in communication with some of the leading shop keep era in old and new China Street with the hops of inducing them to close the gates of those Streets on the occurrence of any disturbance, themselves to place guards there and display the warning notica suggested, and this being done, to keep themselves and households so much within doors as possiblo. The Committee propose that the extraordinary expenses incurred for the removal of property shell be charged rateably on such property according to itse value

As the Arma proposed to be ordered will be paid for individually by the members of the ssociation, the measures recommended will be very expansive; the com of the Fire Engine being the

Canton, 15th October, 1846, Ste.-I have the honor of informing you that a Meeting of the British Community was held this to be pursued in consequence of the inaue of your morning to take into consideration the airpe proper Circular of the 13th lost: and as Chairman of the Morting I mm directed to addres you on its grave

content.

The Community hare, as you are aware, been organized for more than three months for mutual porty in case of fire or riot, and for the purpose of defense, for the pretec ion and removal of their pra communicating with you on any subject of general interest or utility,

The scheme of the organisation was communi. cated to you and you authorized us to state that it had your approbation, though you could not give it your officia! muction, and you further said that you bad yourself contemplated proposing some such arrangement to us when you should move into your new Factory.

In no respect have me departed from the scheme as originally explanied to you: a bandful of men among thounds, hopeless of aid from the Chinese authoritics and with only a very small British force at hand, valuable indeed by its presence lo prevent at seks, but which we are Informed bas orders not to act unless expressly called upon by the Chines A shorities, believing ton, that this protection would at any moment be withdrawn at the slighus hint from the Chinese authorities, since for fear of their misgivings it was long denied to our urgent repre Beautions, in such a situation, Sir, to what have we to trust for life and safety? Surely to our own re sources; to union, order and to Brmness.

We cannot view a popular outbreak as merely a ?^ssible even"; – within these few days one was threat coed, and violent placarda against us very Intely dis graced the walls and we see nothing in the present aspect of affairs to encourage the hope tant distur boices which have happened so often will not happen agnia. In these apprehensions we inust conclude that you participate since you thought it expedient to order the Nemeria to resume her station opposite the Factories.

Deeply interested as we all are in the preserva- tion of troquillity, it would be strange indeed, isas a body the 'ommunity acted sa ze in endanger it, and we wonder therefore, that it should be necessary for us to inform you, and through you. His Excellry, that we have audiously avoided all superfo display and a far as possibl?any display whatever; feeling it however to be needful for the prescretion. our lives that we choull be armed, we live sought to learn the use of arms, and surely such knowledge cannot be considered unnecessary when in Hong kong iuel, under British authority, and strengthen-d by a powerful garrison it has been officially declar ed unsafe to walk about without weapons.

We concvire that we have a perfue right to as semble for drill, or for any other exercise, but we have only met en private ground within the walls of our own Factories, where none but a rowe danes Lice bave any business, und perhaps the workmen engaged in the few unfinished bouers some distre from our place of meeting to going to and from the place of meeting we have made no display by body, but have assembled and dia marching in persed individually and as quietly as possible.

We cannot end that such proceedings are at all calculated to endanger the Public tranquillity, but we firmly believe that they and very growly to enture our own safety. It may be that the rabble will hear with whok some dread of the measures wa have taken, but we doubt not that most of the well disposed Chine in our neighbourhood rejice at then, us cumducing as much to their safety as to our own, and sorely the organization and controul under which we set greatly lessen the chances of riot aris ing from the precipitation of individuals among out

number.

In reference to the concluding paragraph of your letter, having now fully explained the motives for and manner of our proconding. I am directed to observe that every member of the community in perfectly aware that he is fablo to the Law when he shall be proved to have offvodud it, and in con. clusion we request that you will distinctly inform me on behalf of the Commity whether it is intended to forbid, and whether you do forbil, declaring it illegal,) the organization of the Community for the purposes and under the circumstances already expla

Some sharp discussions have arisen on the sub- ject of a confessed error in the recent Corn Law Impactation Act, by which beans and peas are now actually subjected to bigher rate of duty than under the old law. The inadvertency having been pointed out, no doubt was entertained that an Oder in Council, or short bill, would have put all to rights; but no, it is not considered erpadient to make the required correction.

Perhaps he acted on that principle, or perhaps his earlier associations mod hibits hare bad the effect of inducing bin ta form so low an opinion of tho pr?nciples on which mankind sets, that he believes overy man, in all the transections of public life, is actuated by a baze, selfish, and sordil motiva.

It has boom evil, and mul justly, that to be praised by a person who is himself the subject of praise, adds ten-fold to ke e logy and the same principle applies to calumny, for the best antidote aguinal calumny is often fund in the character of the calumniator.

They overlooked the existence of another foreign saltlement in their neighbourhood, to which Tu principal Foreign Merchants are pledged; and they also forgot that the rival settleutent has a revenue from public lands alono which would support the civil establishment of Macan.

COLONIAL LEGISLATION.-HONGKONG. (From a Correspondent.)

The subject of culonunt legislation must sena ea. gage the opinion of the press and the counny to a eraser extent than it has dons at any period since the American revolution Cur colonies are now, in a great measure, about to lose that preference in the British market which the system of protection found Lisin, and which containly bad the effect of making them more dependent on the mother coun try than they are likely to be for the future. But while they are thus becoming less dependent on us, we are daily becoming more dependent on them, Continental and other foreign markets are narrow- ing or becoming closed against us, and that mat merely from the restrictive measures of their respec ive governments, but from the people having are ed to anulacture articles which they formerly pur chased from us; and, even after supplying use own wants, compaung with us in the low roumin ing market.

We are glad to hearthat De Bowring has brought the cruel system of flogging in Hongkong, be- ?re the observation of the House of Coininons, and that her Majesty's Ministors have proinised that a searching inquiry should be made into the atrocities. The proceedings before the Magistrates have often engaged public notice, sod ?at various times we have found it onr duty to expose the abuse of power before that tribu- ual, in the expectation that our voice would ner or later be heard by those who can re- medy the evils we complain of

Should her Majesty's Ministers deom this matter of such importance us to demand an official enquiry, they will only require to refor to the records of the Magistrates Court, and there they will find proof of a cold blooded deliberate system to torture not to be squalled in the records of any court either in the dam or

It is important to consider how these benefits are to be secured and retained England needs her Colonies cannot do without thei-how is she to unsure their loyalty? Unly by conferring on thei the benefit of good government. Wale wishes them to feel towards her as children, she must treat thems as her offspring; study what is for their silvauingt, and show them that the Bri.ab connexion is as much for their imterest as for their hooner. They do not oved the help of con:mercial restrictions to di velop their resources. Give them good and cheap government, let them feel that they are secure under the protection of the Queen of the Seve, without being liable to suffer from her power, and then let them alone nothing more is needed to secure to them the uitnost measure of prosperity.

But this is equivalent to saying that there must be an entire departure from the system hitherto pursued. For in regnod to the great majority of riskolonies no material change of system has taken place since the time when the folly of a Brib

MILITARY FLOGGING. It cannot be denied that the plan brought forward by Lord J. Russell will fail in giving univeral tisfaction. Two reasons may be assigned for this The first is the general unwillingness of all mon to accept half-way measures; the second is the expectation of a more decided course, which the recent event at Hounslow had excited. But, W conceive, neither of these reasons can be deemed sufficiently vaild whercou to test the dimpproval of the Ministerial measure. It must be tried by other tests, and weighed in other scales, then an indignation, however honest, or an expectation, however generous

To abolish Blogging in the army would be ano the Biost desirable things in the world. On this point all men are agreed. No three men think differently on this, considered as an abstract pro position. But then, how to abolish it? That's the question which statesmen aud the people, no less than military commanders, must ask themael Tes. Of course, the abolition desired is an abolition that shall be sale,—owe that shall not tempt insu bordination by a novel license, nor weaken auibor ity by a sadden change. The precipitate introduc tion of any policy, in itself humane and well intended, it lavariably dangerous. Aything that unsettles a society, and disarranges oven partially the habitual relations of its mechanism, does more immediate injury then it can effect prospective good. But if Uis be true of other societies, &nd other relatione, how eminently tree is it of that large society, the army, the members of which bave been schooled and disciplined in certain habits of thought and action, anit could hardly accom anodate their code to the rapid evolutions of public opinion and legislative decision.

Both foreigners and Englishrpen, in writing on the subject, expressed themselves in terms of unbound- admiration and surprise. A splendid new city was rising us by enchantinent, like an exhalation,

This extraordinary exhibitions of energy and en- terprise was capable of explanation. During their short reaidened at Marno, the British marchable had learned how much might be made of such a co- lony as Hongkong. During the war, Macao bo- came the chief seat of British trade in Chios, nud this circumstance had the effect of attracting to it a number of Chinese, whore presence was a great ac- quisition. Besides being orderly and industrious people themselves, they had connections among their distant countrymen by whom a considerable trade was brought to the settlement, and a large number of shipments was made direct from Macao, notwithstanding the shortness of the time which this new branch of trade had to develop itself. Again, these immigrant Chinese were themselves consu. mers of British goods, and thus fostered a growing Incal trade; and by shup and house rents, furnish a source of income to the holders of property. It was the prospect of realizing similar benefits at Hang koog, in an increased degres,—for who could have dreamed of our rulers ever requiring to learn lessons of liberality from the Portuguese-that led the merchants of China to build a city of such extent that, till Sately, the annual sum paid as ground rent, or fen duty, amounted to ?18,000.

Had this display of sustained and determined enterprise been made in France, or inn French co. lony, it would have furnished a theme for declama. tion and panegyrie to all their Journaliste for five years to come, and probably their government would have testified in approval by granting extraordinary privileges and immunities to the new settlement. Nothing of Ine kind was looked for by the parties whape causo we wish to advocate, as our Govern. ment have never considered it their duty to reward

enterprise. Nor is it necessary that they should. If they would only let it alone, it would reward adf. But the parties now referred to did not expect that, at the very moment when they were

expecting to reap the fruits of their exertions, Go verament would step in and rob them of the prize, and that by a flagrant breach of contact and viola tion of wational honour. The first Governor of 1longkong was Captain Bliot, who, though be proved scarcely equal to the emergency in which naforeseen events placed him, possessed some high qualifications for the office, for which he was ori- ginally designed. He saw clearly the immense ad- vantages to be agaland by fostering the colony; and acordingly be encouraged building by giving allot menu of land on equitable terms, in fee simple, and thus he gave an extraordinary impulso to the con cern at the outset On the fath of thean grants, wbarres, warehouses, and dwellings were reared with great rapidity, and many more were com menced, and the property frequently changed hands at increasing prices Hero, as elsewhere, well directed industry bad the effees of raising the value of property. Who ought to have profited by this! All the hokiers of property, and Government among the rest, as all new sales must be made at an enhanced rate. But Government was not content with its own share of the genoral prosperity: it envied the original holders their allotments, and, determined make a profit on that which was not theirs, actual ly resumed these grants by a simple stretch of pre- rogative. Of course Government carried its puint: resistance would bare bren absurd, for in the case of weak colony might makes right. But it is dit ficult to conceive how such a deed could have been planned and perpetrated. The only theory we can frame in explanation of it in, that, having already broken faith in regard to a former net of Captain Eliot's, the authorities thought that the ice was broken, and they might do it again. The aim proved lola were agai? put up to auction, and a very Dovel expedient was resorted to, to insure competi... on. Securities and deposits were dispensed with, all and sundry were allowed to bid whether they had the means of paying for their purchases or not. 'There was no penalty for defalcation, in that case the ads simply reverted to the Crown. With auch unlimited facilities for speculation, prices mounted to an extravagant height, aud bona fide purchasers were obliged to buy and pay for their lots at rules far! above their value. To add to the hardship of their case they were then, for the first time, given to understand that they were to bold their land not in freehold, but lesschild, for a period of 75 years.

The improved lots—these luik on-were return- ed to the original bolders at former rates, but on thear now terms. This condition was peculiarly Bard in their case, for instead of having erectod un, subaltal building, as is usual in such cases, with a view to the termination of the lease, they had built palaces, fit to and for cemurien

Thus far, it will be admitted, the Chins merchants, met with bus indifferens iratment. These griev. enres, however, have been eclipsed by a complete series of tyrannical and opperative acts which have marked the whole administration of the present Go-, vermor.—Glasgow L'onstitutional, August 22.

It is no doubt one of the articles of war, that military history is only to be registered in offe despatches, and that those, in order to be growin and respected, must not be communicated to the press.

Under Civilized Ituleru it will scarcely be credit. ed that the Laws of England, and the rights of her subjects are so violated, as the following facia will trmify.

Sir John Davis has offboded his countrymen lo the provincial city, by what in our humble opinion appears to be gross injustice in his treatment of one of the most respected members of the Commu- nity, and by a poklic Circular insulting, and quite uncalled for. As far back as the 4th of July (four days before the riots) an English Gentleman pused over a huckster's stall which stood in a public thorough- fare in defiance of a regulation which provides that Up the street be kept free of such incumbrances wards of three months after the occurrence H. M Consul informe the Gentlemen that Sir John Davis hay?ned b?m $200 (? 45)for having upset the stall, and assumes that dife circumstance led to the riot which took place on the 8th July though we now learn that this matter is present undergoing in. vestigation in Canton, the Secretary Mr. A. R Johnston being there for that purpee. It must be observed that the Gentleman was never tried,

An Englishmen fined $200 for upsetting bucketers stall on the 4th July, because Mr Mac. gregor, 1 preemme at the instance of Sir John Davis, | [so it was well known he was better informed,), ?a sumes this to have been the cause of the riots on the 6th (four days afterwards). The fallacy of this statement is so riliculous as the attempt afterwards made to mother the law of Ordinance 2, by the Substitution of No. 5. And if Sir John Davis "can not undertake to administer his trust on any other terms," there is very little doubt but that when the Em-history of this absurdity added to his many other dehad no opportunity of ranking a defencs, nor has the provision of the ordinance under which he was linquencies, reschen the ears of Eail Grey, wo shall be relieved from the jurisdiction of one, whose career sentenced, viz No. 2, 1844 as stated by 11.M.

We extract from the Economist of the th of August one notes by a Mr. J.

Mr. J. A. 8. estimates that the rate from China to Great Britain, on board of British ships, is from ?7 to ?8 per ton ; the rates to the United States, on board American vessals being ?4 to ?4, 10. Mr. J. A. 8. is not very consistent, as a few lines afterwards he sales that the price of freight to America is not more than ?5.

This gives an average rate for the year of ?54.2 per ton of 50 cubic feet. The Ato ricans reckon a ton at 40 cubic foot; and the J. A. 8. being ?4.10, freight according to

the question devolves itself into a very simple problem in arithmetic, Vixt., if 40 feet gives 4,10 what will 50 ft. give:--answer 25,13,6. t therefore appears, that per ton of 50 ft., the ates on board British vessels average ?5,4,3

Only 6ro Nethos lauds slips cargoes of ten have sailed direct from China to the ports of the Netherlands, and two otlara hare returned by way of Jers. For want of Nether lande vessels it was necessary to have recourse to an American ship to send to the Netherlands a cargo of 10,000 cheats of tea. In July 1846, the free for the Netherlands was 130 forine, with 15 per cont, for venela going to Java. Is December, 185 florine, with 15 per cent. were paid for freight to Rotterdam; and, at the time of the Chinese new year, 480 Morius, with 15 per cent, were offered, and this freight was undoubtedly paid; for the cargo sent by that American vessel of 200 less burden, som from Macao to Batavia, from 6,000 to 7,000 forins were paid. These high freights aro generally offered in the son from October to April. Statements we hope will induce the merchants to send a greater number of ships, since freights may be had for Me- nile and Bali, as well as the Netherlands. T'ho ex portation of tea in Dutch ships was less in 1845 than in the preceding year. Bills of the Netherlands could not be negotiated at Canton. None were to

So far as the personnel of the new Government gave hopes of great improvement in the adminissention of C'alumini affairs, the apie telianes was upon Gord John Russell. But Abhough Lord John Russell's proceedings as Colonial Minister six years ago, and his recint declarations on the unbyret of Cokioral government, made it likely that he would endeavour to promote valuable L'olonini reforms, still it was to be feared that, na Prime Ministes, bie hande wald be full of other businrm: sol there was no assurantee that the Colonial Office would not enn- tinue to prove an impediment to changes of any im- portance. Pento, the scene changes, and we be hold the very Colonial Mifice itself composed of there out-and-out Colonial Reformers.* Lord John Nussell's ad trets to the electoes of London con- telos a promise.f Colonial reform: he has ready fulfilled it to the uttermost of his power within the time, by making Lord firey Colonial Minister and letting him choose such assistonte re Mr Hawes and Mr Butler. For this art Lord John Russell will obtain some of thist credit which is just now the mon causpicuous father in Bir Robert Peels cup, he will be honoured for having sulo a per- al merifice to the public servia, For Lond John Russell's reputation as a practical statesman rew chiefly on bis brief administration of th? Cao lonial Office; and there enn be no doubt that it he had now placed at the boad of that department a person uoi conversant with Colonist questions, and had himself vs Primor Minimer djreeted the changes of policy and practice which were at all eredia mo- vitable, ho would have consulted bis own immediate Interest more then he has done by handing over the task to Lord Grey. The changes would bare been less complete and valuable, but they would bare keen Lord John Russell'a Considering Lord Grey's intimate acquaintance with the subject in

its two main divisions of Colonization and Govern. - ment of Colonles, his settled and proclaimed ny?r nions, bie industry, and the eatnesiness wat to say wilfulness of fie character, we may be very sore that he will put his own mark on whatever may be done.

He would find, however, if he could get at Sir Robert Peel's feelings at this time, that the other sort of fame is by much the more agreesble of the two; not to mention the confortable whispers of an approving conscience.

He obtains an Under- Secretary known for laborious habits, and for ha- ving opinions of his own on all the questions which the present Colonial Office will have to decids, Those opinions, it is true, are the same as Lord Grey's; but Mr Hawes has a position in the Dome of Commons which will cable him to give utter- ance to his views, and take an important share in. making the public sequainted with the policy, the objects, and the plans, of the new Colonial Office; whilst his habits of business and unusual powers of labour must procure him work and consequence in Downing Street.

What these plans are is not generally known, bot simply because public opinion in this country takes little hood of Colonial questions Hastard must be searched, by most people, before they can aven comprehend what colonizers and colonists bave long expected no resubs of Lord Grey's much desired accession to power in colonial matters. Hence a singular property of the task which he has undertaken: the public at large will estimate ite importance solely by its fruits. Lord Grey's position resembles that of the general in battle, whose capacity will be messured by the event; who will bear the whole blume of failure, or obtain nearly all the honour of success. Vain would be any attempt on his part to induce the public to akare responsibility with him by sanctioning his plane before trial. If his plane are as sound and great as thoan believe who have cared to under- stand them, it is a happy accident that self-relinaco and active energy units is his character with the contemplative faculties.—Spectator.

EFFECTS OF THE GOVERNMENT FERDINO THE IRISH.

The failure of this year's potato crop, which is now, we regret to say, certain, threatens to involve the Irish in a much greater calamity than befel them last year. We are extremely desirous that their coming distress should be prevented. Their Patience under great privations, merits oor warmest sympathy. Notwietending the dread catalogue of quence which was rakeougether to make out a case for the coercion bill, sever probably were offences against authority fewer amongst a suffer. ing people than they have latterly been amongst the Trish. It must be admitted, therefore, that all which can be reasonably done for them ought to be done, and that no sacrifice of money which could be advantageously niede ought to be shunned.

Similar opinions were very generally entertained bat autumn, and in the spring of the present year; the demande to relievo the Irish were general in England so well sa in Ireland, and the conduct of the Government, in hartening to succour them, was almost invariably approved of. Never, perhaps, was there a case where it appeared more feasible to disregard the abstract principles of political economy, and listen only to the dictates of senti mental benevolence The people were on the brink of famine, and they wanted employment; for the Government to step in and give them food and work seemed so strictly in accordance with func tions unually assigned to a protecting Government, that the hard hearted principles of laissez faire were denounced as the principles of kisses soufrir, and the notion of leaving the Irish to struggle unaided by the Government through their misery, was scouted by all but a few political economisis, with general indignation. It was mid, that not to interfere was to give up all guidance, and was to proclaim the Government strong to coerce, but impotent to succour, and to hold it forth to the peo. ple as a mere instrument of torture, which could not beal the wounds it might itself have indicted.

Listening to such demands, and to its own kindly inclinations, the late ministry did interfere very extensively to supply the Irish with both food and work. 11 established a relief commission,—it is

We must be indebted to a contemporary for some further ill satrations of the subject. For some time pass we have been looking with cortunity at the accounts of the arrivals from Ireland, knowing that the harvest was early, that work is, und has bean, all through the year far more abundant than unal in our a?ricultural districts, and we expected to read as beretofore, of vessels enming into Liver poul wrowded with labourers enger to reap the gelden harrest which England oders them,” Ac-? :counts of the arrivals of lareu quantities of pro- visions of all kinds have been published almost every wook.

Dr M'de, in his letter to Lond John Russell, pablished on the 7th inst, in the Arning Chroni clo, says, and me are afraid that he apeska ile genti- ments of the bulk of the Catholic priesthood and of the people:-

Those who had toiled in the hay fielle of Mid desex and the corn flekla of East Lothian in the hest of the harvest, and had thereby obtained the scanty mess of sulmietence during the winter, found their less adventurous anil lees in lustrious neigh. bours, by the bounty of the government, as well provided for a themselves.

should have participated in a squabble between two parties of Chinese which led to such a me- lancholy result. That they acted under the impression of being in pursuit of criminals, we believe; and we do not doubt that they deeply regret the catastrophe. In extenuation of the crime committed by the Chinese boatmen we cannot see that anything can be said. The unlawful use of firearms is in itself a grave offence, even bad it not led to such conso- quences, and the dignity of the laws of the co. lony demands that such misdeeds be not al- lowed to pass unpanished.

Our opinion of the injustice and barbarity of the award of tho Chief h?agistrate romains un- altered, That the thirteen men fomed ware innocent of all crime, is established beyoad doubt. Nine of them are still prisosses in the colony but the four seat to Cowloon are pro- bably where the wicked cease from troubling

Be it so; we only ask the public to read the evidence and judge for themselves; and we give the Magistrate the benefit of the defence made for him by the Mail, which it will be observed in mcorrect in several particular. The found on board were less than the usual quanti- ty carried by passager boats; and the two muskets had never been loaded.

The copy si a Letter with reference thereto from Bir Juho Davis hun just been sent to me, by which I am out. prized and grieved to find His Excellesey accuses ind of having excited the frightful tumult and Bloodshed in which three Chinese were killed, and by which the peaceful relations between the two eduntries are still endangerol," an accusation which I can hardly suppose His Excellency would have brought agtinet me, had hebeen thoroughly aequain tel with all the circumstances of the case, and an opportually been afforded me of producing Eri- dence to disprove the Promises he has assumed,

As the Mail leaves this evening, I can only bum- bly request Your Lordship will suspend your opin ion of the case until 1 man forward a complete slate mr of the Facts, which I shall have the honor of doing by the following Mail-I have the banor in be, My Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient Hum. ble Serrant.

RESOLUTIONS, 1st. Proposed by Mr Edger and seconded by Bir H. H. Smith.

That this meeting having bad submitted to it the whole of the documents depicted withile recent pro- ceedings against Me Compton, and having attentively considered the same. is of aplius that Sir Compton has been irregularly and unfairly tried ; without suf. cient evidence, unjustly sentenced; and illegally pu nished ander an inapplicable Ordinance.

2nd Perposed by Mr Church and seconded by? Mr Donlop.

That the attempt to sustain the illegal conviction ander authority of another Ordinance No. 5, in nebl trary and oppressive, in a much so Ordinance No. 6. only gives the Superintendent power to punish offences against the Treaty not panlabable by the Laws of England, and the offence charged against Me Compton being a simple minstemeanour paal-hable by the law of England, does not come within the scope and man- Ing of that ordinance,

3rd. Proposed by Me J. Mackrill Smith, and ar condely Mr Wartblogton.

That it is the opinion of this meeting that the of. fence charged against Mr Compton is not, sul cannot be held an Infraction of the Treaty, nor of the 13th Article of the Regal tions of Trade so declared to be by His Excellency Sir Josh Davis, in as much sa the claus cited by His Excellency, refers to Commercial difference or disputes only, the marginal abstract con? firms the interpretation of the classe, and the distinc. tions between commercial disputon and personal wrongs in clearly drawn in the concluding sentences of the Ar. nicle which declare that Criminals shall be punished according to Laws boreafter to be enacted.

4th Proposed by Mr Ponder, and seconded by ?r Ryder.

That the Laws of England established under Ordi. men?e No. 1 and the base as enacted under Ordinance No 7 are amply su?cient to punish such an o?raes as that charged agamut Me Comptom, and diat se or dinance No. 7 provides for grave offenes a fine equal in amount to that fucted by His Excellency, there lo nelther reason, necessity, nor excuse for ilis Excel- loney baving put aside the Law, and set above it bla arbitrary will.

Sch. Proposed by Mr Birley, and seconded by Mr Jlipley.

That the injustler of the proceedings is aggravated because by the course and barbarin nipotentiary warrant, while he appeal to the Supreme Court of Hongkong had the proper forme of Law been observed.

sth Proposed by Mr Jardine, and seconded by Mr Lyall.

That this meeting does not desire today that a pa nishable offence was committed by Mr Compton on the 4th July in taking the Law loto ble own bands, although certainly under circumstances of provocation, but it le the opinion of this meeting, that proceeding should have been immediately taken thereupon, in which case the woot trifling fine which could have been indicted, would have amply met the justice of the case. And this meeting is further of opiulon, that if the offence committed by Mr Compton was of the grave character since attributed to it, Her Majesty's Loneal should have immediately called upon him to answer for conduct of which the Cuneur's presscon on the spot made him fully cognisant.

7th. Pasposed by dr Beses, and seeded by Mr Ellice.

That the meeting solemnly protests against all the this marter, proceedings of the British authorities balding the persons, fortunes and character of Hee Ma jesty's subjects in China, unsafe under the premises.

ash. Proposed by Mr Silverlock, seceaded by Mr

Skinner,

That Petitione to Her Majesty in Connell, and to the House of Parliment be drawn up, Embodying the

Remlutions. foregoing

9th. Proposed by Mr Blenkin and scoonded by Mr Gilma.

That the meeting offers to Mr Comptom the ex pression of their sympathy under the ernel and unjust proceedings of the authorities against him: aggravated his injuries are by the publication of Sir John Davis's dispatch of the and October, on the are of the departure of the Ooverinad Mall, whereby Me Comp ten was deprived of the power of exposing by the same opportunity the fallacies and colorepresentations, in the Mid document.

10th. Proposed by Mr Gikaan, and seconded by Mr J. M. Balth.

That the foregoing Resolucions, and the Compon dence to which they refer, be published in the Hong kang Newspapers.

Chairman

Canton, 5th November, 1846. To His Excellency,

Bir J. F. Davie, Bart, &o, &,

Consul, under your Excullenoy's instructions to kim dated the 22nd alto, in reply to which I com sidered the proper course was to address mymil to that Geutleinau, in a letter dated 2nd November, which he has returned to me intimating that the proper mode of proceeding is to address your Ex- cellency direct, and therefore 1 now have the honor do so. I find that your Excellency insists on directing 1. M Consul to rebin the Fine levied your Excellency's instructions. It is difficult for Dine confessedly in error, and not seeding to

ine to surmise at what period, your Excellency's instructions to fine me under Ordinance No. 5 for nu Infraction of the Treaty, roached 11. M. Consul, since bis sentence undor Ordinance No. 2, was passed on the 24th of September, and on the oth of October, be informed me he had then received your Excellency's confirmation of that sentence, which however, your Excellency states was not transmit led by him until the 16th of the same month f how- ever, after the sentence had been executed it seems to have been discovered that the Ordinance No. 2 of 1944, did not justify it, certain important forme not having been complied with, and the forms en. joined by No. 7, also not having been observed; and it bring necesary to vindate the set by somo Ordinance, your Excellency structed . M. Cunsall to declare the sentence to have been intend- Ordinance to my case, your Excellency accuses mo el to be under Ordinance No. 5. To apply that

accompanying it, according to which you state of having infringed the 19th Article of Schedule

it was my duty, having a cause of complaint, to re present the same to Her Majesty's Consul, and amume that I did not pursue that course, by which the facts of the case communicated to Mr Mac. it appeate you are very imperfectly acquainted with gregor in my letter of 27th July,which has been so improperly used as evidence against me, for to him, who passed by at the time of the occurrence, I did complain of an annoyance which I. and my Brother Merchants had frequently before brought to his notice I maintain however, that the clause of tho Regulations cited is inapplicable to my case; the words are whenever a British subject has TCELON "10 complain of Chinese, he must first proceed to "the Consulate and state his grievance" the men ing clearly being in Commercial disputes or diffe. rences only, and that this is the correct interpretation |,?f the words is established |

Disputes to the bettled, if possible, amicably by the marginal abstract. arbitration." The Article goes on topoint out the manner in which representations to the Chiores Go- verniment are to be made by Merchants, and finally the distinction between Commercial disputes, and personal wronga is clearly drawn in the concluding Bentence which declares "regarding the punishment of English Criminals, the English Government will enact the laws Decessary to ausin that end, and the Consul will be empowered to put them in force."

H.M's Plenipotentiary, and Superintendent of Trade, Hongkong,

B-1 have the honor to acknowledge receipt of

a communication made to me by Her Majesty's

Those laws have been enacted, and Ordinapos No. 7 of 1841, is no doubt the law under which 1 ought to have been tried, and which repeale all foriner coactments inconsistent with it! Further. the power granted to your Excellency ouder the Ordinance of Bir Henry Poulinger, No 5 Empowers

of England-the offence charged against me cannot be so classed. I deny respectfully, but strongly, that there was a full, and fair enquiry into may case, it was either decided without evidence, or upon evidence which HL M. Consul gave me no oppor tanity of disproving, and of which he has declined to furnish me with a Copy.

From the manner in which the trifling offence which alone can be proved against me, has been dragged into connection with the alarming riot of the 8th July, it would be supposed by any one unacque inted with the facis, that these events immediately followed my act, and not that the riot did not take place until four days afterwards, during which time I had repeatedly passed the same place unmo lead yet it gravely stated that the upsetting of

fruit stall on the 4th of July was an infraction of the Treaty between Great Britain and China, and in four days time brought forth riot, and bloodabel! I now, Bir, take love of this discussion, solemaly protesting against the infringement of the liberty of the subject in my person. The Law gwo H, M. Consul full power to treat my case, but left me an appeal against injustice, and the oppo.tunity of clearing my character of the sigma cast upon it by the infliction of the highest pecuniary penalty the Law would warrant; Your Excellency has set the Law aside, and to justify the illegal sentence passed on me, have aggravated iny offence by imputing to me without evidence, and on a false assumption, charges of a nature repugnant to my feelings. In thus assailing my private character in a public des patch published on the day before the departure of the Mail for England, I was precluded from publish ing my defonce by the anime opportunity Your Ex. cellency has thus addal injury to injustice, and the conventional forms of Office for the Regulation of Correspondence with public Officers alone prevent me from giving utterance to my outraged feelings on the subject--I have the bonor to be, Your Ex- celly's, most obedient, humble servant,

The American vessels engaged in this trade, aro generally the best in the mercantile marine; and the enpidity with which they make voyages to and from the ports of Chios, makes that trade very profitable. The China trade is centered in this clip. This is the great depot fur tous, and merchants from every section of the country come here to attend the las geannundles of that neticle. The recent voyage of the ship Rainbow, out and home-having been but a few days over six months—shows with what expedition the trade is conducted. It requires an im- dieses capital to carry on this trade, and there are, therefore, very few houses engaged in it, and these houses alm?si monopolise the business. Boron and Salom formerly carried on nearly all the trade between this country and China, and many im- mense Entunes were made by the merabants of Those cities in this business alone.

T'ho slave Amploying countries may resort to A frios to fulfil all the demands upon their labour mar kers. It is not likely that the Southern States of the gret American Union would do so, since social and political reasons make the citizens of the Union view the increase of slaves with alarm; but tim, and pasibly Brazil, might take a larger draft of slave immigrante. The trai?e, however, would be froe; would have so motive to treat them worse than cat the slaves would be more valuable; and the trader ila would be treated: their health, therefore, would be an object of care and iba horrors of the middle passage would cease with our intervention.

But if we abstained from restricting the share migration, there would be no reason for restricting the migration of free Blacks. To British au'jects we night forbid slave trading; by proper regulations slave trading by defeating its objest, the dividual in the West Indies, we might prevent any British pros of the trader.

MORAL OF THE CHOLERA PANIC.

THE ANTISLAVERY THAT MIGHT SUCCEED.

Show. for the first time completely, that in the West Indies emancipation really succeds in a work-lly senso- that it is politically safe, and commercially profitable-and you touch the best possible lo con to slave-owning countries; one far more persuasive than coercion. You show them that they may obandon slavery itself, and that therefore they do not need the trade in slaves. Some have already shown disposition to profit by such a lemon, were it bu- manely and perseveringly read to then. Bazil he several public men willing und able to read it; Cube has hid ias Governor Vallez; and even the Southern States of the Union might consent to b ne fiu by an experimental attempt at solving the great prabilon ist darkens their face.

But Africa—how wonki such a change affect her? Most momentously. Were the Eastern shore of America fully peupled-commercial relations must necessarily increase with the opposke coast of Western Africa. It most inevitably follow, that free Blacks would be much and increasingly em ployed in any commercial relationa with Western Afries; for which their race alone is suited by phy: constitution. The number of free civilized Blacke in Afries would mutiply. To state this | modest fact alone, is to imply a social revolution in Afrien: monarchs in that bruighted country could not lang relasin in a condition "lower than menia's in the "free_settlements. If the monarcha did not being to advance in civilization, the menial would ausu oprealate in the trade of being mona cha But free settlements would multiply, and would be nor mal schools for the neighbouring reces. Civiliza on European civilization-ouce establi-bed on the continent of Africa, would soon spread by a bearfernt contagion. It is to be remembered that there are no such settlements in Western Afren: there are some trading stations: Bierm Leone is a walment of transported alaves; but there are no proper colonies.

Fae trade in sugar must at fir: act as an encoura gement of the slave-trade-there is no doubt of it The opening of so important a market sa that of Great Britain will enhance the value of slave grown sugar: the higher value of the article will enhance the value of the producers; and that will enhance the profit of the slave trader Our armoed efforts at sup pressing the trade, therefore, will be rendered more aliculous than ever, by the crowning inconsistency. that we shall do our best to intercept the slave on his way from Africa to America, and to disappoint his owner, but as soon as he has crossed, we shall not

The mme diflculty which befalla the planter or the enlouel disarmed of bile whip han befallen, the rulers of countries, in which constituwal systems have lem crablished. In order that these countrutions, any one of dein, should suffice to provide fur the order and government of the country, it is but weerosary that all abou'd put trust in thes.

Bor une fortunately the one will trust to the nikl su moral Bence of government. All have been rentred unche Wilayates and all declare that nothing but vindmure anil bitkuklation will do.

But what constitutional government deinauls in, shot statesmen should possess the means of government, without being driven to brutal coercion. This is run of Ireland, as of Paringa!.

The worst of brute-rules and the rule of violence is that it renlere a return to legal and constitutional rule dificult, if not impossible. Thus, since the

Lyran o7 of the Cabrale was overchroma in Portugal, l'e liberal aristocracy has tried to form a Government. It has proved unable either to content the people or break down the spirit of dingeder. The conseqummer has been the suspense of Government, at least in the pro vitress and the general refusal there to pay taxes. The Ministry has Las been modified to a liberal sewat bus with so Httle hope of success, thes' Dear Miguel's parti 2an are quietly waiting vi che necessity is fully apparent for the ressention of brute-tyranny, which, of course, would be best adininistered by so accom pliskeel a despot and bigot

A similar, though nut so hapelem a state of things provalla in Spain, where the way Don Carlo awaits the general and successive failure of all modes of go vernment short of arbitrary rule, to come forwa impose that arbitrary rate which has the plea of le gitlasey. The efecuona, bowever, are about to take plece lo Spain, and the liberals are not without hope of fair treatment, and of the Government being still car ried on opon a system shoot of violence.

keepers, and had they done their duty, the up. setting of an intruding stall on the 4th of July would not have been made a handle for the unjust proceedings, which are now the common topic of conversation.

In the meantime, His Excellency may con- tique to shoot his shafts, and by aplication

It is natiefactory to learn from Your Excellency, and from Consal Magregor, shac a guard is being orta blished in the neighbourhood of the foreign factories. 1 will take the mon efficiens moueures in my power to restrain those under my authority, and I am resolved to afford no protection to such as do not dessere it. The cars, however, must be strictly mutual-Chinese Muster striped well as Eugliaby and I case more repent my previous solemn warnings, that all damage from the papalace, sustained by indinaire British subjorn, must be made good at Camion ne li was at Foo-chew.

Every stranger, my well an natiew, is aware that this oc aurence Look place because l'omplen gave rise to the dis turbance, and that therefore the mob, aut without a cause, mpled to bar andspillage. The people fell, one at the entrance of 'fik-hing Str?zt, another at the boltum of Tong wan Street, and a third at the bottom of Tring-yuen Street, and not at Chung-wo Hong, where the stray originated. It is therefore clear that the foreigners oormiited homicide Intentionally, and not in defending the space in front (of the factories. These killed were all of them people that earn eds howest livelihood, and by no means rullans; still you call them is at your leiters a ragabond mob, which is le dead doing them injastics.

Yet is your despatch you will blame, also, the tardiness of the soldiers in quelling the upcour, and throw upon them too much responsibilky.

Victoria, Hongkong, 10th November 1844, I have to acknowledge the receipt of a note from Jour Excellency, jointly with the Lieutenant-Gover Bor, dated the fth instant. However culpable the r ponad vein of violence on the 4th and Bth of July, it inpears on record that Conami Macgregor, at least, did bi dory by giving formal warning of the probable

consequence of similar conduct on the very day pre eeling the ath. I have reported to my Government

the fine I ordered on the exciter of the lot, and it will be sufficiently clest that I did what the case required. I have often told Your Excellency than the mixed company of the foreigners of all nations, who combinad to defend their persons and property, were compelled to fire for the safety of their lives. But, under any circumstanem, you must be aware that I have no au thority except over British subjeto, and I repeat my previous declarations, that I cannot soquiesce in the continued attempts which have been made to charge the boleiden apclusively on them. It would morrer be useless to distinguish any particular individuals mong a crowd who, acting solely in defenon of their lives, emi scarcely be considered as culpable in any dexion.

It is notorious that the lamentable deaths of three anbjects of Chios might have been prevented had the oldiers arrived immediately after the tumult began, Instead of delaying for about three hours afterworde. It they were not answerable for the commencement of tie disturbance, they certainly were greately so for its continence and retorquences.

It is satisfactory to learn from Your Excellency, and

These documente are prefaced by a Nori??a- tion signed “W. Caine in the absence of Me Johnston." "W. Caine in the absence of fir; Johnston," concludes a Notification in these words," but the best security of H. M. Slub. jects, and their best glains to protection, will consist in an abstinence from aggressionenguinst the people of the country in which they reade, The intention of this is sufficiently evident. It is the policy of the British Plenipotentiary to convey an impression, that his countrymen in China are notorious for their aggression against the amiablo Chinese population of Canton Anything more incorrect cannot well imagined; but it only proves the adage that drowning men grasp at stragro, d?" Jolus Davis has discovered that his late high handed incasures are not to be permitted to pass al?nn ticed, and that they will be laid before the Bri- tish Govoraiment by the earliest opportunity; and hence to screen himself from the core h: so well merits, he is seizing every opporta- uity of injuring the character of those whose in treats he is bound to protect. From the various official documente published during the past two months, having reference to the riot of the 8th of July, it appears that in the eyes of the Plenipotentiary, the British Residents are so of lawless men, prone to shed blood, and losing Do opportunity maltreating the inoffensiva Natives. In his heart Sir John Davis does not think an, but he would have the world of this opinion, as it night afford an apology for his illegal proceedings and insulting circulars, But truth will prevail. No inan kowe the in- solence of the lowor classes in Canton better than His Excellency. No Inan is better ec. quainted with the fact, that from our earliest intercourse until now, foreign Merchants have been the objects of insult and contumely, and that they have ever, and still do show a wonder ful degree of forbearance towards the ignorant and prejudiced beings who surround them. It is truc, that neither Englishmon, no Ainoricans, nor any other foreign Residents, will sit quietly and allow their houses to be burned over their hoads. No, when they find a mob thundering at the factory gales, unchecked and unnoticed by the Chinese Authorities, they act precisely as might he expected they arm themselves and repol the robbers who would sack their - dwellings.

We confess that wo place little reliance

upon the "perpetual guard," and are satisfied that the best guard will always he found with

in the factories—that is, the Residents them. selves. A guard was appointed to keep the 'streets clear of fruit venders and other stell keepers, and had they done their duty, the up. setting of an intruding stall on the 4th of July would not have been made a handle for the unjust proceedings, which are now the cominon topic of conversation.

In the meantime, His Excellency may con- tinue to shoot his shafts, and by implication vilily the reputation of British Merchants, but a day of reckoning cannot be far distant,

Vicuria, 19th October 1816.

The thirteen victins of Magisterial incapacity, who have been declared by a fury of Englishmen innocent of having committed any crime (though unfortunately not until they had undergone the tor ture of the lash) are still kept in irons and are work. ing upon the "roads. The gross injustice of the rate which these poor men have received can- not be excoaled; and the cold blooded obstinacy of Jisposition which still sanctions their punishment, after in has been so clearly proved that they were jnollensira passengers, and not pirates as was st fits, alleged, cannot be too severely censured Pro surving that the young man who holds the appoint. Iment of Chief Magistrate has not become perfectly callous to hauna suffering, and morally blind to all sease of justice, ho must feel some compunctions of conscience when he considers that without proof of guik, and with but the slightest grounds for suspi- co, he has unhappily perpetrated an act which nothing can extenuata. Mr. Hillier is a Chinese scholar, and appears to be guided on the bench in a great degree by the Chinese criminal code, which provides for the punishment with forty blows of those who are guilty of improper conducts, though they hara not broken any specific law. The improper conduct, in the present case, consi ts in the pas scugor boat's running away when fired into by Bone Chinese rullaus, who ought to be made an example of, and in the crew and passengers jump- ing overboard in preference to a surrender to those who showed a disposition to murder then. En Davis's China, we find the principle which many haro guided the Chief Magistrate, laid down very clearly.

"A third defect is the occasional manifestation of a feat. ous fear, on the part of the Government, lest in the execu tion of Lia onactments the judge should ever find himselfim- peded of hampered by too great clear of doinition, or she pabject derive too much protection from the distidel seme- ment of crime and punishment Henon those vagos genera. bdos by which the benefits of a welsten cude are in in 's ge

great parate sanulled. The following sasetment is a specimen -Whoever in guilty of improper conduct, and ach an is comuery to the spirit of the laws, though not a breach of any specific article, shall be punished at the least with forty blows; and, when the impropri af of a serious nature, with aighty blown.**

But the Chinese are midi compared with the Hongkong bench; with them the forty, or the eighty blows, is a full oquivalent for the offence of improper conduct. Our young napirant for the rod button. improves upon the law of the flowery land; four of the victims are picked out and forwarded to the Celestals, their punishment here being in all Jobability a more fore taste of what was to come, if they were members of the Triad Society she object of that body being the overthrow of the Manchow Tartar dynasty, and the restoration of their native rulers. It has been asserted that the men had no registration tickets, and that it was solely on that account that they were deliveral to the Cowlood Magistrates; but this carries absurdity on the face of it." In the first place, they were not taken up in Hongkong, but captured in an open bay, where it is not criminal to be without a ticket. In the second place, the registration act is Hongkong Jaw, and the Cowloon Magistrates care as little fur those who infringe it, as they do for the articles of the Church of England.

SUPREME COURT. FRIDAY, NOV. 13.

Mak Aon, alias Shay Atony, Carpenter, was an- cused of the murder of Chang Ala.

James MeVittie Police Constable, doposes that about 8 o'cinak on the of the 25th July ke was in the Tai-ping-shan with another constable, and heard a Chiuaman moaning, and found he was wounded in the back-saw no suspicious person in the aeighbourhood—he wok the wounded maa to the station house, and he was removed the same sight to the hospital. e

Mak Aon was afterwards com fronted with him, he said he was the unose man be bad called Shay Atasy, and who assisted by Fou Atay stabbed him, but he could not tell which of them did it.

Mr. Hillier investigated the outs. Dr. Dill was examined before him, and his deposition was read to the court describing the nature, and extent of the wound which was the cause of death.

Mr. Hillier, and Mr. Caldwell both deposed that ho gave no such evidence.

The prisoner denied that he was aver called Shay Aisay. He begged the judge to investigate the case thoroughly, and that if he were guilty might be put to the torture.

The Jury found the prisoner guiky of siding, and betting manslaughter, and he was santsuped to be transported for life.

with the Gallant General up to the last moment.

The name of Bir George Murray is familiar to

ail from his long and gallint service in the field, as well as from his political connexion with overal Cabinets. He was born in 1772, at the family seat in Perthshire, being the second sun of Bir Willam Murray, Hart, by the youngest daughter of the third Earl of Cromartio. He married, in 1820, the re- lirt of Lieutonont General Sir J. Erskine, Bart., daughter of the firm Earl of Uxbridge, and sister to the present Marquis of Anglessa "This lady, by whom he had issue ona daughter, abovo referred to, died in 1842,

In one of the early movements of that war was Bir George Murray actively and prominently engaged. We may firal mention the campaign in Holland, in 1793-04, where he served in the 3d Guards, and was present at the affair of ?t Amand, the boule of Fat- mare, siege of Valenciennes, attack of Lincelles, in Tstment of Dunkirk, attack of Lannoy, and also at the retreat thinugh Holland and Germany. jor-General Alexander Campbell, on the staff of In 1795 be was appointed Aide-du-camp to Me- Lord Alvira's army.

The personal appearance of Sir George Murray, when in the enjoyment of bealth, was distinguish ed by that bearing in character which bespeaks the soldier as well as the gentleman. He was above the mide height, and notwithmanding the wear and tear of his active life, looked much younger than he really was. Langthened illness, however, wrought a remarkable change. His hitherto noble form was fearfully emaciated, and it for some time past became painfully evident to his friends that the band of death was upon him.

A BRITISH BUBJECT.

2nd He assumes that they were liable to be pu nished under the ragrant act of England, which he saya permite magistrates to sentence vagrants to be imprianned for twelve months and to be flagged. The reference to the act & Goo: IV. chap 88. acc. tion 10 is artful in the extreme. This section of the act refers to the powers granted to Courte of QUARTER BESIons in their dealings with noto:ious rogues. It is the 3rd section of this celebrated act, which refers to the powers of Magistrates on a first conviction After a coumeration of whoare ragrants, the section goes on to state, that such.

* Shall be deemed an idle and diarderly person, within the tree intent and meaning of this set and it shall be lawful fe any justion of the pesos to commit such odander (being thereofonvicted before him by his own view, or by the con

of each offender, or by the evidence on each of us ar more credible witness or witamers) to the homes of e r. rection, there so be kept so bend labour for any time mus ascending aos calendar month.”

We merely point out this disingenuous trick, a after all, considering that the Magistrates war- rant committed them for felouy, it is shound to refer to the vaginnt act of England which does not ?ren extend to this colony, we having a local vagrant act Brd. He denies that the men were ? ggod, and ?produces the warmm of committal se proof. The warcent is no proof whatever; but the rath is, that they, or part of them were sentenced to Efty Lashes each, though we beat-Tas To Du Bowie's BIPOSUKE--that they had not courage to carry out the sentence. We were therefore wrong, in stating that they had been flogged; but as we are not ex pected to attend auch exhibitions, wa submit that in presuming the sentence had been carried into affvet, we committed no willful or intentional erro

The Honorable Chief Justice has vindicated the supremacy of British law, and the supremacy of the count over which he presides, by liberating these victims of Magisterial incapacity, and this is put cient proof of the illegality of their sentence. For youre we have watched the proceedings before the Stipendiary Magistrates court, which were permitted to pe, except by the occssional report of a cass

change of men and measures may-confidrail, be looked for. It is vain to talk of a junk trade while such things occur. Had we now a thriving commerce with the consting vessels, a continuance of the course steadily pursued by the Magistrates, would ruin it in six months.

argued that by the Depositions there was nothing to prove that the Prisoners wore Vagrants so as to bring them under that act, they had not fire arms or any weapons in their possession, and ho wAS certainly surprised that such a line of defence should be taken when they were gravely charged with being felons.

His Honor die Chief Justice stated, that even ad- miuing that the Chief Magistrate had grounds of

suspicio-whether well supported or not was not now to the point—that the Prisoners were Vagrants, still be punished them under the Wrong Act, that the Act of Geo IV. called the Vagrant Act was altogether superseded by the local Ordinance No. 14 of 1845, which subjects Vagrania to impri- son'ment not exceeding Fourteen days, and that thire Prisoners have been imprisoned for a considerably longer timo must now be discharged forthwith

His Honor also ordered the remaining Prisoners. to be discharged at once, and requested the Chief Police agistrate to attend to the Police Regulati ons, and local acts, and not to acts of Parliamens obsolete in practice.

MI. 995th regiment has been ordered from Ceylon to this garrison. A paragraph in a paper of the 24th September, announces the arrival of Bir Henry Poutinger from Scotland, it being the impresion that his appointment to the Bombay presidency had been determined upon. Earlier dates speak of the probe bility of his being made Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, but this we look upon as an ille rum our. Sir Henry is an Indian in all but birth, deeply, vored in the policy of the Indian government, and the peculiarities of the civil institutions of the country, His past services (which met with a scamy rewr in days when peerages are bestowed upon the iron banded heroes of one or two Indian fights) gives him wrong claim upon the country, and the bestowal of a lucrative appointment upon the Paci ficator of Chins, would be merely what he hat just claim to We do not believe that Sir Henry Pottinger would accept of the governorship of the Caps; and we are satised that it is an office for which he is not qualified. It is true that Sir Charles Metcalf made an excellent Colonial Governor, notwithstand ing his thirty two years service in the territories of the Est lodia Company, but he may be taken as the exception, not the rule.

The suggestion emanated from gallant and humane Admiral, and we trust will be carried out, to his lasting tour.

Exyget of a letter from Monte Video, Jated th 00:"Mr Barnes, clark in charge of her Ma- jesty's steam vessel Lizard (Commander Tylden), and Me Webb, master's susistant, with two seamen, were killed by a shot from one of the batterice as the Lizard proceeded up the river, and the same shot which caused the death of those officers and men wounded Mr Miller, the assistant-aurgeon. Lieut. E. J. B. Proctor, commanding her Majesty's loam reuel Harpy, received a shot between his body and one of his arms, by which he was much injured. The arrival of the convoy at Monte Video, after the decisive operations of the English and French squadron before San Lorenzo, bad infused a new spirit into sbat prostrate city. The arran gements for forcing the passage were well devised. On an island opposite the enemy's principal battery, Captain Hotham had placed a masked battery of six Congreve rocket lobes, with orders not to open fire until the sclion was commenced by the stea mero

"The first shot from the Gorgon was the mo ment selected for our rocket-battery to open fire. The enemy at the principal battery not yet being within reach, and anxious to see the fun with the upper battery, had jumped on the parapel, and were shouting, 'Viva la Confederacion Argentina) &c., at a great tate, when the rockets from the island drove them down much faster than they

mounted

"At 10h. 40m. m. the action was general. The firing from the steamers was beautiful; oorly ary shell bursting at the muzzles of the Geld-pieces, or arer the batteries. Occasionally, one would pitch into the cliff, and bursuing, send tons of earth into the river, and a column of dust loto the air.

"At 12b. 50m. p. all the convoy had passed dowa, except an English bark, the Caledonia, and two schooners, which bad grounded on the point of an island, about a milo and a belf below the principal banery, owing to their having kopt too far over to avoid the enemy's shot. The Alecto and Lisand were ordered to their assistance, and after warda the Firebrand. The vessels were broadside on to the point, the bark on the top of all, and lying over on her broadside. Finding it impossible to get them of the crews were received on board, and the vessels set fire to, to prevent their falling into the hands of the enemy.

The steamers then all passed down after the conroy, and that night anchored four miles below the town of Ronrio."

These advices report the way in which Bir Wardlaw, an officer belonging to the Racer ship of war, had fallen a vicino to the treachery of Ro- s' okery. 1le bad entered the Atalaya river in the Racer's whalo-boat, under the protection of Gag of trace, to make search after an English bark, stated to have been shipwrecked on the coast, Here he found a small party of soldiers; but, fear. ing treachery from their not hoisting a flag of truce, he ordered the men to back nut. On Beeing this, the enemy opened fire, which was quickly returned; but the boat having slewed round at the mouth of the ricot, and inade sail on the starboard tack, grounded on a bank and after running no more than thirty yards, was left high and dry by

The inhabit inte of Honk 'ng, who think only of their large outlay upon houses, &c, their ground rent, their polica rates, and so forth, overlook the great advantages under which, merarthelm, their vast commercial enterprises Bonrisk.

The immunity allowed to opiom vessels at ika endance of the consular ports, and other points of the oneal, has gone far to strip Thongkong of this anticipated, and not very legitimate silvanlige, while the Government menure of freming the opium has certainly tended to annihilate what linlu remained.

The Chief Justice asked the Coroner if the Chi mess witnesses in this case (not those who could have criminated themselves by their evidence) had been sworn the Caroner replied that they had not, and that so far as his knowledge of the proceedings is the Polles Court extended. simple statement was merely required.

He re- plied that be considered himself in the same light as Magistrate-but was given to understand that there was a wide difference between the office of a Magis trate and a Coroner, the later having no power whatever to take Bail.

On being further naked by the Chief Justice no to the manner in which he laid down the Law to the Jury, with regard to the Evidence as it bore on the Law of Homicide, the Coroner said he had gone very fully into the subject. The Chief Justice then remarked that he must have given them so much Law as to have quite confused them.

RULE ABSOLUTE.

It is, however, a step in the right direction to re- move the phatructive clause in the supplementory trealy in reference to junka trading to Hongkong. But it is impossible not to see that the great advan Lage derived from this lies at the root of the strong objectious to the opium farm, which may or may not have been a good and palitie measure; if the contrary, its great iniquity In the eyes of the mer. chants lies in the impediment it offers to Chinesa Janks coming in ballet to Hongkong and loading there with opium. No doubt this might be a vary profitable speculation to many mercantile firms,

We refer our Readers to the report which fol. lows; and we would briefly observe, that this de- cision is one of much importance to British sub- jects resident at the Consular ports.

The island of 'Gwjop was weetal from the “Dutch in 1796, and perinat p?ly wded to the Eng-

tish possession for half a century. Sol Auring the whole of that lang period, its masters hevenyme found time to introduce a rational and equ?tuaggi ta system of taxation. The methode of taxation in troduced by the Dutal and the King of Kan DT have beou provisionally retained. Ceylon has been kept fifty years undot an interim system of Goance administration; a system which engrafts upon all that is arbitrary and oppressive in the exactions of indigenous despotism, all that is cramping to in dustry and enterprise in the old Dutch theory of commercial politics.

The public income of Ceylon for 1844 ?444,318, or nearly bait a million. Nearly one ball of this sum is made upon of the following item:

Export Duty on Cinnamon.

?53,107

Tax upon rice farme

30,124

Duty on imported rice.

39,000

Land Customs (duties levied upon goods

at ferries and bridges) Salt monopoly....

27.000

41,80

Cinnamon is the staple produce of the island the export duty payable on it amounts to about 75 per cent of its value. Rice is the staple food of all classes, the sole food of the poorer classes, yet every native who puts a plough into the ground to grow rice is taxed; and on every bushel of rice im. ported from the coast of India (where it costs from 2. to 2. Gd. a bushed) tax of 7d. is levied on anding. The paddy tax" varied originally in different localities, and in different circumstances, from eae-half to one-fourth, one-fifib, one-terth, or one-fourteenth of the produce. Till 1826 it was wried by an annual astrasment of the crop of each harvest since that year the aversmeni has, in most districts, been commuted for an annuel pay. ment of a given quantity of grain. This charge was only gradually introduced, and is not yet uni- versally adopted. The tax is not only injodicous In respect of its incidence, but arbitrarily and irco- gularly apportioned.

Not contented with discouraging the production of food, and increasing its price, government has established a monopoly in its own favour of the sincipal condiment used along with it. The in- alpi? pabulum, rice, notoriously requires a larger average admixture of salt than most other kinds of food. Government monopolises the manufacture of mit, which costs it 3d. per bushel, as delivered by the makers, and in retailed by it at 2s. 6d, a bushel No mlt can be imported except under special license from the goremor. It is penal to scripe up the natural selt from the sea shore, leat it should interfere with the tribute. Then, as if it

were hot enough to discourage the staple produce of the island by excesive taxation, and to make food scarce and dear by the same process, the financial system of Ceylon appears to have been tiago with a pair of Pogies.

Ekere, then, is a com pelitor to the future dynasty of Montpeasier. The marriage resolved on in Madrid by Louis Philippe, though opposed by his wisest councellors, opens the way not for one civil war, but two; and not for two disputania to the crown, but for three.

For the present, however, the young Queen in entitled to every respect. In bess events she has been the innocent victim. She has yielded to vio- fence: to threats; and abs resigns herself to the dictation of France, in order at least to attain a oumn's liberty by some kind of a marriage. That the may avenge herself one day, is likely. So that, in addition to the feuds which we have dou merated as likely to spring out of thess marriages, there are other feuds more feree, more degrading. more demoralizing, which Louis Philippe cannot but contemplate as inevitable fruits of his polies, however he may regard them without compunction

He has been for every candidate; for Enrique, for Trapani, for the Duke of Cadia; for Christine and against her ; co- queering with England, but never true to her; betrayed and trifled with by France, yet duped by Louie' Philippe's blandishments in exile.

"Inhagitants of Guernsey-faithful objects of Queen Victoria of the Queen of the great British nation which is spread over the whole globe. I meet you by her Majesty's command to tell you what were her sentiments when she landed on your in land, as conveyed to me by the Secretary of Stato. At Bret I intended to have made the communication to you by printing the letter, but I thought that would not allow any newspaper editor to stand be tween the Queen and her people. I therefore deler ained, as being more respectful to her Majesty and to you, to speak to you myself, and then nobody can deceive you"

Mr Bulwer is careful to allow Queen Leubella a choice, if it be free one. This is a most aballose. pretence. The Queen is not sixteen years of age; |? and if she were not guided by those about her, she really would be "as headstrong as an allegory on the banks of the Nile" not at all a proper person for Mr Bulwer's approbation.

The contrast between "Guernsey" and the whole globe is finely imagined. It shows the value of the Laland-bot to be uitasured by geographical entent. and is calculated to raise you higher the well-known self-respect of her firm auch ealightened inhabitanta The image of the newspaper allor standing betrocenit the Queen and her people is tremendous. We seem to are a gigantic figure thrusting its huge bulk be tween the Lieutenant-Governor and the faithful Guernseymen, to intercept the rays of royal favour. 'The Governor's dotermination, and the reason of it, "to speak to you myself, and then nobody could deceive you," is worthy of the historian of the Pe. pincular war. Of course, the wicked editura ere in a conspiracy to me and mytilate the royal letter; but his excellency was there with the determination that the inhabitants should not be deceived. They were hot. Some cold blooded person had suggested that the communication should be put off for a day. It was thought, perhaps, that it might be too much for the islanders if it came all at once Royal fa vours must be broken gently The Governor thought otherwise.

"It was suggested to me that I should put all this communication till to-morrow; but the Queen came suddenly, and in less than twelve hours you ware ready to receive her-why then should we ro quire more than double that time to receive hor gracious communication ?

As his excellency proceded, the enthusiasm of unrasey burst out in to boisy a manner as sex Qualy to interfere with the address. The Lieutenant Clovergot, with that pretence of mind which cha. Ircterises the soklies, restored onder by a word.

1o the meanwila Don Enrique, secand son of the Infanta Don Francisco, seems to have ken good and just ground in his protest to the Contes. He acquiesces and ejoices in the preferene shown to his brmber for the Queen's hand. He acknow. ledges his having oate pretended to the honour, and corroborates what we long since sister: na toimely, that the Frenok Court would have accepted him ez.a.kosband for the Queca, if be could bare consented to French policy, and prone to be an #francesado. This he declined; and because he would not sign'sway his own, his promised wife's, and his enuntry's indepondence, he was ignoinIO lously out aside. Doo Enrique Dow protests - gainst any rights that may accrue to the offspring of the Duc de Montpensier. in regard to the ne He declares auch ection to the spanish throne. claim to be contrary to the stipulations of the treaty of Utrecht. We believe that the official instructions sent to Mr Bulwer completely necond with Don 'Enrique's view. Here, then, is a com petitor to the future dynasty of Montpensier. The merringe resolved on in Madrid by Louis Philippe, though oppored by his wisest conncellors, opens the way not for one civil war, but two; and not for two disputants in the crown, but for three.

We pererive a disposition to place hope in Narvaez A vain hope. It was Narvaez's personal hatred of Don Enrique, whom he had insulted, and who refused to pardon him-it was this batted, that mainly brought about the selection of the Duke dr Cadiz. The needy general is too deeply under French obligation to fool as a Spaniard Besides, winagh resolute in military matters, Narvas has been a weathercock in politics.

Those we look apen as the Best droits of that competition to which see Lade necessarily leade; and which has already, in so many branches of industry, not only rendered this country comparatively independent with rea- pect to its own supplies, but which has led to an extensive export trade in commodities, for the production of which we were supposed to fare, few, if any, nature) advantager. It has been cur- ious to mark the effects of free trade in the history of those articles of bome production, to which it has been most freely applied In all cases, ibe effect has not been so much to increase the qenur titles Imported from foreign countcios, un it has been to extend the production at home.

We therefore hold it as a general and well established rule, that the introduction of Free Trade, and the open competition to which it leads, bas a much greater tendency to increase the quan- tity of such commodities as it affects which is produced at bome then that which is imported. The rule, so far as experiance yet goes, is also strikingly confirmed by the result of the changes in the lari koled in 1849, and again in the pre-

The Committee who conducted the public sub- scription for "The Times Testimonial," gare a dianer to Mr Walter and other proprietors, at the London Tavern, on Wednesday: the Lord Mayor in the chair. It will be remembered that the Tor timonial originated in the gratitude of the mercan- tile world for the axertions of that journal, in 1841, in bringing to light a remarkable fraudulent con apitacy organized and carried out on the Continent. Among the routine toasts one was given in an un. usual form. The Chairman paid a compliment to Sir Ales M'Nab, as a gentleman who peculiarly re- presented to his own person all the interests Indi cated in the toast, The Army sad Navy, Ships.

In other words that in Ireland nearly half the agri- cultural population are couliers, and England

The rat grand salient fact which stands out from these statistice, may be thus broadly, but cor- rectly, stated-that, in Ireland, you have a larger proportionate population dependent on agriculture alone, than in England and Beolland are dependent on agriculture and manufactures together, The peasantry are cotiers, not labourers; and the third secondl fact in, that in Ireland the mass of the

In these cases the murdocor is always shielded and conceal ed, it not assified, by the adjacent peasants and farmers. We will quote a few instances to show that the sympathetic feeling which sanctions and side these outrages, makes no distinction between just and unjust, between harsh and humane and nevitable ejectments-between ejectments for the pleature of the landlord, and ejectments for obsti nate non-payment of rent--which show, in fact, a dutermination on the part of fe peasantry to te gard the land they have once held as belonging to them, whether they pay rent or not, and to retain forcible posscanion of it accordingly.

In consequence of the recent wet weather having rendered the course unfit to ride upon for a few days, the Committee bave postponed the RACER to the 15th and 17th instani, to give time for it to dry, and to enable those who wish to visit Canton to do so, and returns in time.

The Mail indulges himself with two columns and a half of editorial mystifications upon tho lato atrocious case of ponishing thirteen innocent men upon the evidence of the murderers of fire of their comrades. Ifo does not attempt to exculpate the Chief Magistrate; his object is nora to make the most of an unintentional error committed by us in first referring to the matter, and unwittingly repeated in a subsequent paper, So soon as our attention was directed to the mistake, we corrected it, and acknowlodged we were wrong--though it appears we were only partially wrong, as four of the "hirteen vic tine of Magisterial incapacity were flogged; a fact which we could not ascertain on the mast minute enquiry.

Our Contemporary rings the chan ges upon the blunder, he is welcome to make the most of it--our having been led into error cannot clear the Magistrate, nor in the slightest degreo effect the merits of the caso,

We are neither in a condition, por in the humour, to enter into an junprofitable contro worsey, but as the Mail amorts that we have done Air Hillice injustice in reporting the affair, wo Icel called upon to show that this is a more idlo assertion.

But the Examiner in in error. The author of the "anbounded charity" plan, was Mr Commisery Hewatson, not the chief; and it was carried out on commissariat principles.

GUR NAVY:

Now that public anxiety is raised to the highest pilch in expectation of news from that body of our saval force at present in the Gulf of Mexico and in the Pacifle, it would wem a favourable moment to give a statement of our present force, and contrast with our strength less than forty yesroago. Pro- vious to the commencement of the last war, when the gun-boat theory had been tried and proved to be a complete failure in anamoring the desired pur- pose, we had not a half dunes vossela fit for service, and the number of seamen, landsten and boys li misal, by net of Congrom, to less than 1300, was not hold filled..

The nation at large had but little confidence in the utility of any noval force within the power of the United Stams government to creste, and every dollar appropriated by Congress, for thir arm of defence, was regarded as an offering to partizan fidelity. It did, in fact, appear almost useless to endeavor to collect enough matorial, even for a day, to compete with the English mugs, then at its his ghest point of discipline and numerical power. The fleets of France were destroyed, Spain was sleached from the alliance against” England, and fireat Britain could direct as many of hor verwis war, then numbering one thousand and eighty mil. as the nature of her attacks or blockades coukl demand. The merchant vessels of the United States were at that time spread over the globe, and the only way of accounting for the entirely unpro- teeled state of commerce, was the prevalent belief in the impossibility of keeping vessels of war at

face of the overwhelming force of Great Britain; let thmugh the exertions and remonstrances of Commodores Bainbridge and Stewart, who had no fith in the invincibility of the English navy, a few ships were put in commission, one of which, a bunch of pine boards, sailing under a bit of striped bunting," as the British officers nicknamed our frigate Constitution, moon met and conquered, in fair fight, the crack vessel of an English squadron, The Guerriere. From the day that the news of this gallantly achieved victory reached the United Siates, publio opinion underwent a complete revo- Intion, and one nary has ever since been no popular as it was before despised 'ho gallant exploits throughout the whole courts of the last war, proved that in strenghth and in discipline, if not in num-

OUR NAVY:

Now that public anxiety is raised to the highest pilch in expectation of news from that body of our naval force at present in the Cult of Mexico sad in the Pacific, it would seem a favourable moment to give a statement of our present force, and contrast with our strength less than forty years ago. Pres vinus to the commencement of the last war, when the gun-bost theory had been tried and proved to be a complete failure in answering the desired pue- pose, we had not a half duzwa vosscle fit for service, and the number of seamen, landsten and boys li misal, by act of Congress, to less than 1300, was not hall Gilled..

The nation at large had but litila confidence in the utility of any noval force within the power of the United States government to erogio, and every dollar appropriated by Congress, for thir arm of defence, was regarded as an offoring to partizan fidelty. It did, in fact, appear almost useless to endeavor to collect enough material, oven for a day, to compete with the English nagy, then at ita hi ghest point of discipline and numerical power, The derte of France weto destroyed, Spain wau detached from the alliance against England, and Great Britain could direct as many of her vessels of war, then numbering one thousand and eighty mil, as the mature of her attacks or blockadee could clemand. The merchant vessels of the United States were at that time spread over the globe, and the only way of accounting for the entirely uno treted state of commerce, was the prevalent belief in the imponbility of keeping vessels of war at sea in face of the overwhelming force of Great Britain; bet though the exertions and remonstrances of Commodores Bainbridge and Stewart, who bad no ith in the invincibility of the English navy, few >hips were put in commission, one of which, a bunch of pine boora, ailing under a bit of striped bunting," as the British officers nicknamed our figate Constitution, soon met and conquered, in fait fight, the crack vessel of an English squadron, the Guerriere. From the day that tho news of this gallantly achieved victory reached the United Siates, public opinion underwent a completa cerq- Intion, and one pary has ever since been no popular ns it was before despised the gallant exploits throughout the whole course of the last war, proved that in stranghih and in discipline, if not in num-

As the right of free naviga.

British corporation upon Ame rican territory Can British legislating give, of do, any thing opon Amaric?n soil? Or rather, in it not onll and void, quoad American territory!

The idonce previously before the public, so wellas that in the possession of Sir John Davis, now dragged before the Court, has proved not only that the air of the 4th of July was entirely disconnected with that of the 8th of July, and that the Chinese coo sider?d it an, but that Air Compton was by no poy sible construction of the facts the exciter of the popular riot of the 8th. The evidence (however merely informal) and the opinion of the Chief Justice put these pointe beyond the possibility of further inisrepresentation. Yet Sir Jubo Darie bas, directly, and through Mr Consul Macgregor, asserted that the two facts were inseparable-that Mr Comploo was the originator of the riot of the 8th of July; and writes officially to Koying, wit re ference to that event. "I have fine the exclter of the riot."

POLICE COURT,

These occurances involve much more important considerations then the mere abaracter or conduel of one or two individuals, -ibey affect materially the position of foreigners in Canton. That posi tion, by every constant and unprejudiced observer, was felt to be manifestly injured in the power of the Chinese populace, of the efforts (1 question not their propriety) male by our Governor to chains froscess to the City. The mismanagement of the die uasion with the Chinese authoriti, a conse. queat on the riot of the Sch July, has deteriucatedl that ptation still further, to a degree that only those residing in Canton can adequately testify. The future is threatening, and it is agrnestly to be hopel, both that the utmost forbearance and consideration towards the peculiariti ?s and prejudices of the Chi- nese may continue to be exhibited by all in contact with them, but still more urgent in it that greater judgment be displayed in the management of our

official selations with the Chiores.

Mr Camp appeses to have been onbes matingly and unoptingly pounced upon (and us now provet junly) by our authorities. If your object he an earnest and impartial investigation into these events, other questions desiree consideration.

Bar Bir John Davis is responsible for the consequences by abrenting himself from his post here in June and July last, in the face of the war-

But his also:e whether authorized or not, from Hongkong when the riot occurred, and more parti- cularly for some weeks after, was a serious mas fortune, and may possibly furnish a clue to the otherwise sauet waccountable persecution of ?r Comptoo, and the sort of variorum reading of facia

Fair Play would wish it to appear that John Davis has been much coutured for his Absence at Chuvan when the riot occurred in Canton last July-the Cliampion's part was to defend His Excellency. The affair is ridi colous in the axirona. No ono consured Sir John Davis for being absent; nor could his ne saal presence at the factories linve prevented the riot.

No small want of judgment appears to have been displayed, of which the complicated consequences have proved very serious; and instead of limiting proceedings to the effectual reparation of thoop Decast, casequences, it would appear that a strong and unscrupulous effort has been made to screen this ot of judgment and foresight, by fixing the anus upon an innocent individual, whose chance impli: estion with the events tende a fictitious support to the accusation.

The most paksul conviction forced on me by the whole accessible evidence connected with these Mafurtunala ecourrences, is the untruthfulacas in high places; and this is a feature, I think, nevor touched on (and perhaps wissly, though an impar tial view of the events cannot exclude it) on your criticisms.

OCEAN STEAM NAVIGATION, COMMENCE- MENT OF A NEW ERA.

A circumstance took place on Tuesday, in this city, which may be looked upon as the commence- ment of a new era in the bistory of the Unged Bates. This circumstance was the laying of the keel of the first of the splendid oesan str?mara lately authoris ed by act of Congress, and which will run between this port and Cowes and Bremen. The dimen- tions of this splendid vessel aro gigante, and are as follows:

We published in our papers of Wednesday and yesterday the extent and nature of these prepara- sione, a far as they were then known, but we think it adrimble to recapitulate them in this article, as we consider them of the highest importance, indi. cating that this war will never be concluded until the thunder of American cannon is beard, perhaps, in the centre of the city of Alexico-to the veritable It appears that General Bravo-is installed Presi- deni, ad interim, and Paredes appointed comman der in chief of the army.

They are intent upon making a great stand; and it becomos us, es a powerful people, to make such a demonstration, as will convince them of our ability to defeat their greatest armies, by ad ministering another dreadful won, and following up the blow to the capital, where we can dictate a pence on our own terms.

The opponents of Mr Clay, during the last Pre- sidential contrat, finding that this Bate, at least, could not be brought to cast its vole for an Anti Protectionist, resorjed to a shameful deceit in the form of the "Kano Lotter,” in which Mr Polk was declared to be an excellen? tariff man. The trick sacceeded, and Pansylvania slected Mir Polk. She nursed the serpent that bas stung her, and gava the from and valuable gift of her suffiago to a party that is successfully striving to beat her to the dust. A “son of Pennsylvania was lifted into a place of equinence with the ingoing of the Locofoco party to power, and it was hoped that be would be an instrument to preserve to his own State what she most dearly prized, and what a majority of ber people elected Mr Polk--as “a better tarif man iban Mr Clay-for the purpose of protecting. It was la vain that the Whigs represented, while the contem was progressing, that the tariff proinnsions of Mr Polk were false; that, Januslike, be looked north and south at the same time, and with a face to suit each section of the country.

The Proprietor of the China Mail has pu bhahed, by authority, the six Consular ordi- naues, passed by the Governor and Legislative Council of Hongkong. We would recommend the Residents at the Consular porte to secure copies of these documents; they are bound to- gether, and in case of reference, will be found most convenient, saving the trouble of looking over files of old papera,

It is intimated that the Colonial Ordinances are also in the course of publication. This work will be even more valuable than its pro. decessor.

Germag monarchs have not only been content with roigning over many dis- Junct provinces and kingdoms, but bare considered their very disjunction as useful to the maintenance of their authority. And no doubt it hitherto has been so, precluding not only common efforts but common sympathias, and breaking up the natural Kaks of language, interests, and feelings. Austria tolerates a Hungarian frontier within a fow miles of her capital, with all the inconvenience of Cus tom-house officers and vigilance sud obstructions. She may now wat be able to remove such ahwurd demarcations. But had Austrian policy been for any time sagely directed towards effecting a inore complete onion between the sentiered portions of hes dominions, there can be no doubt that this might, are now, have been effected.

The inconvenience of a slisjunct and federal en- pire is not so much felt, whilst the whole country remains in a backward-state, fendally organized, and bound by the tie of loyalty to the common so Ymeign. But as wealth and civilisation adrante, loyalty, as a sentiment, undergoes considerable evaporation, and new interests and wants arise which'militam against union. And if this union liberties fected set the sezeral states have acquired and development, too many difficulties and even dangers and in the way of its completion.

Prussia bad the berdihood to form a commercial Jengan, a f?deral system of states, fairly represented in common congrass. But within its own limits it has shrunk in terror from any other political uniou betwixt its provinces, save that of their obeying the one sovereign. States or representatives bodies, with the power of remonstrance and petition, bare been given to each province; but the idea of uni- ting the representatives of all to meet in the capital, —from this, the true constitutional unico, the King of Prussia bas shrunk in dismay.

The King of Denmark bas imitated Promin, and, following out old local traditions also, hos divided his kingdom into four portions, escli of which has His estates ; the remote ones baving no connexion with the capital, except an administrative one.

The consequences of this timid system of fede rolizing are likely, at no distant time, to be fatal, or at lenat to be injurious, to the two inonarelsies. In the two extremities of the Prussian dominions, on the Rhine and in Posen, as well na Westplinli and Fast Pressin, there has arisen on hostility to Berlin and its gurernment, rancorous and danger pus; since diference of race blends with diversity of interests and opinione.
