LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 1. Tae Eorooean events and results of 1850 will on doubt be celebrated with the greatest exultation in the palaces of despotic kings, in the offices of their retro grade minirers, as well al in the cloisters of the soaks and the balk of the inquisition. The great absolutist and bigot principle in politics inn in religion his triumphed every where. National rights have been swept away, conseittitions of all kinds, how ever moderate, however old as monarchy itself, have been crushed. Theetuding up of even an aristocracy for their order has been treated with the same relentless vengeance as the rising of the mob; artillery have quelled both, and military executions, followed' by confiscation, have borne both down to a com mon level. The cuntotions of these three years put awakened the hope that such agitation might end in the establishment, at least here and there throughout Europe, of eoostitu'ions like our own, in which all climes would enjoy their rights and in which the throne might have found a sup port less costly and tyrannical than a million of bayo tete. All the.' hopes have disappeared. Far from any more countries having emerged from despotism to representative rights, those who already enjoyed them have been flung back under absolutism ; and one gigantic system of military rule, avowing intimida tion and brute force for its only principle of govern ment, sways wide Europe from the :Mediterranean to the Baltic, and from the English Channel to the Black See. It is not that Europe has relapsed to the state of I things in 1817, but rather to that of 1800. It bu rear egraded at least half a century. And in examining the two periods, we shall find great similarity in the principles which govern, the interests which struggle, and the powers which prevail. Thee, as now, a great military autocrat weighed upon Europe, and d:cated to it laws Every liberal inatitutioe, all freedom of thought and action, he strictly proscribed. He planted new monarchs, and tolerated or patro nised old ones, not indeed over nation@ (fa he abhorred the idea), but over districts. And they were to role despotically, with a view to the support of his great military system, and without one thought for the contentment and develop ment of the people under them. Such were the governorsued the governments that NAPOLEON im posed upon Germany at the beginning of the century ; such are the governors and the governed that NICHO LAS, with all the absolutist srrogauce, and without the military glory of NsroLzox, imposes on the MUM errantry at the doss of 1860. If NAPOLEON presided over the meeting of kings at Dresden half a century beck, NicuoLAs equally played the stmrain at Warsaw. The Autrian Emperor reigns solely by the grace of the CZAR, and the King of Peunsta by his permission. And Russian armies were not more triumphant in Hungary, than Russian policy is now in Heise and in Holstein. The wretched politician, to whom is mainly attri butable this prostration of Germany at the feet of Rude, is Prince ..—svnwsueseesto. He it is who called on Remise troops to destroy the constitution and the nationality of Hungary, and who has since em ployed the same means for thesubjugation of Germany. Prussia a short twelvemonth silica maintained an attitude of resistance, hoisted, however doubtingly, a constitutional banner, and still inspired all the minor princes with that confidence which made them cluster round the court of Berlin for support in their independence. Rut the Austrian minister has fought a ye tee diplomatic campaign, intermingled with military menaces and court intrigue, Latest the patriotic, the German, and Coll @taut local party in Prussia; and the conclusion hag been the intimidation and surrender of the king, the defeat and evinction of the constitutionalists, and the enthronement of a minister who is the avowed valet of the two absolutist courts, and the incarna tion of all that is illiberal, retrograde, and treache rous. - - i . There s nut in the whole range of European his tory the example of a great country consenting to play so vile a part as that which Prussia has con sented to in Hesse, whither the Prussian envoy went first with the pretence of protecting the Hessians, making use of this character to persuade them to submit; and no sooner is their submission to the Frankfort Diet obtained, than the Prussian PEUCKER comes forth In his real character of a mere clerk, sent to do the work of Austria, and to receive its kicks. History has not on its records an instance of such unfathomable meanness. %A post mesh sf 1860 is, indeed, the degradation of Persia to the rank of • second-rate power in in fluence, whilst to measure the depth to which it has fallen in dignity and honour is past all possibility of calculation. Although those who have thus de graded Prussia number, perhaps, not a score of individuals—fur every party, every class, every man of honour and spirit, would repudiate them—still that such mean and pusillanimous wretches should have been allowed to trifle away in their vile intrigues, their viler lies, and vilest cowardice, the honour of • great country, is an in delible blot upon Prussia. Never again, we flew, can either the niquarch or the name of Prussia stand in the front rank of nations. It has belied every pro mise, betrayed every principle, destroyed every hope. As a coastitutional country it no longer exists. After the events of Hesse, and the taunts of SCIIWARZEN BERG'S letter, what minister with such brands upon his front, thirst meet an sic mbly of honourable men, except with a certainty of being scouted? The free dom of Prussia at home, as well as its dignity abroad, have both become a mockery. The court of Berlin has taken, after that of Vienna, its place as the mere satellite of Russia, to do its bidding, further its policy, and crouch before its might. All the edi ices that even the late king and his states men so patiently and cautiously built op, that commercial union and intellectual lead in Germany ,—even these are overthrown. Prussia will no more be allowed to head a Zollverein than a German parliament. It is Austria henceforth that will dictate its tariffs and impose its revenue officers upon Ger many. Bat whilst Prussia and Austria have thus sunk into the rank of secondary and subservient powers, betraying and weakening Germany and every German interest, instead of 'trey gthenio g and protecting it, an other power will infallibly cep in to take that place which Prussia has abdicated. Already Bavaria, in understanding with the other minor kings, has per ceived that Austria was betraying them, in return for Prussia'. betrayal of her ducal allies. And these minor princes of Germany, comprising, be it re membered, the greater portion of the German popula tion, are already looking oat for a powerful pro tector spinet the despotic dictation of the triple alliance. For this protector they have nowhere to look but to France, whose hereditary feeling it is, indeed, to act guardian to that group of independent states nearest to her frontier, whom it helped to emancipate themselves during the thirty years' war, which it raised to the rank of kingdoms in the days of NAPOLEON, and which it grouped together under its especial suzerainty at the epoch of the confede• ration of the Rhine. The court of Bavaria has sent a spe cial mission to Paris, to demand of the nephew of the gnat NAPOLEON protection and aid. 8o that we are to have • French and a Russian party in Germany. Both is the charge of tendencies and alliance which 1851 is introducing to take the place of the Austrian and Prussian, the absolutist and constitutional struggle, of 1850. In all this we can discover not a gleam of hops, sot one guarantee of independence. As to upholding German constitutions under the joint dictation at Austria and Prude, the very idea is a mockery. The eld iron cage of the Frankfort Diet will no doubt have its iron bars restored, and the little powers and their little people most creep in like so many mice to feed and crouch in silence. As sac s a s ems co mmences, we, for oar parts, shall bid good bye to Germany. We shall consider it to have pat on its night-cap and gone to sleep. That night cap, however, we know to be the red one of the galley slave, the symbol of degradation and prostra tion for a time, but also the ready signal later Ise the people to ries and reclaim their rights, and to take, we few, most sanguinary vengeance upon the I oow;rds who betrayed, sad the tyrants who enslaved them. Some rather caustic criticisms upon the statistical returns of agricultural population and produce made by order of government in Ireland have recently ap peared in the periodical preps peculiarly devoted to the subjects in question. Elaborate counter-state ments and ingenious inductions have been set forth for the purpose of invalidating the accuracy of Captain LARCON'S account of crops of different kinds said to have been sown in each particular county and poor-law union. We do not protege to pronounce any judgment on the points in dispute. A far more per fect mode of collecting information would be neces sary in order to enable one to do so. We have no reason to doubt the good faith in which the official data have been compiled ; and in the absence of anything better we are willing to acc,pt the tabu lar results quantum raknnt. They are at all events approximations to the truth ; crutches on which those must hobble who don't think it safe to run along in the dark. Bat more than this we fear these .0i -dip - ant autho- ritet ye documents cannot be justly deemed. The closely-printed volume consists almost entirely of the undigested contents of the constabulary log, made in each electoral division, when or how nobody can tell. Supposing every unit and decimal in this huge mass of figures to be literally correct, it does not very distinctly appear to us what its practical use in the raw state can be ? Historically it will no. doubt be exceedingly curious and perplexing to analysts of the kingdom of Ireland in the year 1870. Bat for legislators, philosophers, philanthropists, or chroniclers of the present year of grace, we fear we should be somewhat at a Ices were we asked to say. There is no conceivable crotchet in social speculation for which circumstantial proofs might not be gathered from such a volume as this. It is a vast jungle of unpretending facts, any reasonable portion of which you may do what you will with ; but when you have done, there is such a trackless extent of like under wood around you on every side, that the exploring band is cut down in despair. A semblance of a msp of the entire is indeed prefixed to the unreadable, nnrememberable, and consequently nnuseable volume. Four widely printed pugs contain Captain L.oRCOM'r general im pressions of the whole materials that have passed through his hand.. We say his handy, for evidently his head has been otherwise engaged—better en gaged probably—usefully, we have little doubt. lie is, we believe, a man of talent and integrity, very competent to do well what he has been appointed to do as one of the Commissioners of Public Works in Ire- land; and poslibly very well fitted for being placed at the head of a sub-department of at/viatica were any ouch in being. In that eau he would undoubtedly find full occupation in the various duties of testing, arranging, analysing, comparing, and coral:our:ding the elements of his investigations, from New Year's Day till Christmas time. We dare say he would make many useful discoveries—or at least aff,ird others an opportunity of doing so, by putting in order a statistical museum. But nothing can be more unlike such a repertory of facts than the scramble-jumble heap before us.. Captain Lancom has other avocations; and all he can pretend to do is to have the (Adieus bulary Returns weighed and lab, lied, and then show his courage by making some three or four off-band guesses at whit it is all worth.

MONDAY EYIANTNO, Yesterday, at the conclusion of the Bitting of the Assembly, M. Dupin charged the questor on duty, M. Beze, to repair to the pri-on of the Rue de Clichy with the order of the Assembly tp set M. Mauguin at liberty. M. Base encountered no resistance on the part of the prison authorities, who caused the Assem bly's order to be inserted is the books, and 'c lewed M. Mauguin before eight o'clock. This summary solution of ■n affair, which threat eued to open a serious conflict between the legis lative and judicial powers, hes rather cut the knot than untied it. It is maintained by many that the Assembly has incurred the blame of using arbitrary means for the vindication of ite privileges, where it might have resorted to a course strictly legal, by passing a law clearieg up the doubt left by the terms of the constitution. As the matter stands, the prero gative of the judicial power to be the interpreter of the law has been invaded. Oa ..he other hand, few will think the interpretation of the tribunals in this instance correct, u the general affirmation of the inviolability of representatives was evidently intended to apply as much in civil as in criminal cares. Meanwhile it is probable that the affair will not end here. The creditor is expected to bring an action for damiges ; the tri bunals will protest against the violation of their right to interpret and apply the laws; and perhaps in the , end the Assembly, in order to avoid serious difficulties, will be driven to adopt the means to which it might have resorted with more prudence in the first instance. . . To-morrow a meeting will take place in order to repair the failure experienced on the 23rd inst., to adjudicate the two millions proceeding from the savisgs-banka and the Lyons Railway. This failure is taken as an indication of the imprac ticability in France of the scheme to turn to 'menet for loans and other pecuniary enterprises an aggre gate of small capitals, so as to enjoy a certain inde pendence of the magnates of the money market, or, as they say here, to democratise credit. It may be true that a crowd of small shareholders, embarked in any speculation, are more liablo to be influenced by unfounded rumours inducing panics, and that an en terpriae, to be conducted steadily, needs the guarantee of well known reputations; still the tendency of our day is to organise credit as well as labour, and the attempt to throw ridicule upon such endeavours, and to cry up the indispensable necessity of resorting to old method.. is shallow and illiberal. To-day the proceedings of the Assembly began by the announcement of the President that M. Mauguin had been set at liberty on the preceding evening. The chamber preser.ted an animated spectacle in conse quence of the decision of the bureau yesterday rela tive to the You affair, and numerous groups were occupied in discussing the vote which had given so severe a shock to the government. General Lahitte and M. Dumas remained long alone on the ministerial bench, and were surrounded by a crowd of representa tives. MM. Baroche and Boiler on their arrival were the object of equal attention. The former was long engaged in convc•saation with M. Mole. It was re ported in the chamber that the government would make the dismissal of M. Yon a cabioet quektion. M. Leon Faucher and the other members of the bureau who voted for the dismissal of M. Yon were observed in close conference with General Changarnier and other leading men of the majority. The house then proceeded to discuss the bilt restive to the ratifica tion of the treaties concluded wits Sardinia. After speeches from M. Maioaist and Gen. Lahitte the Assembly voted urgency for the bill, and passed it. The bill relative to the rati&-ation of the treaty with Sardinia against literary piracy was also adopted. The Assembly then adjourned •,o Thursday. The motive assigned for this adjournment was the immi nence of New Year's-day. 'Free would thus also be gained for arranging the dispute tient M. Yon. The decision of the bureau of tie Assembly in the matter of M. Yon has tended to depress securities at the Bourse. The Fives closed at 95f., with a fall of 50c. on Saturday; the Threes fell also 50c. It was generally thought that the boom of Rothschild would carry the day to-morrow in the adjudication of the loan. The exhibition of modern pictures was opened this morning at the Palais National. An eager crowd of bearded and long-haired men, visibly votaries of art, were besieging the doers of the temporary structure from an early hone; at 10 o'clock they rushed in to behold their labour., and satisfy themselves with regard to the hanging thereof. But great was the disappointment of many, when it was found that only :the ground floor bad been arranged, and the upper storey still presented naked walls. The sculpture occupies the alleries, which precede the three rooms kV) which the Court of Honour of the Pattie National is divided, and several pieces are introduced into the rooms of paintings. There are more than 4,000 works of painting, sculpture, architecture, engraving, and litho graphy. Much attention was attracted by the Appeal of the Last Victims of the Reign of Terror," a work by M. Muller. Two other subjects from the revolution, " The departure of the volunteers in 1i92," by M. Vinchon, and " The I last banquet of the dironclans," by M. Philippoteaux, were also surrounded by groups of critics. " A Country Funeral," by M. Conbert, possesses much original merit. On the whole, the imeresmon pro <laced by a first glance at the exhibition is favourable. I The great scarcity of drapery observable in the works of students ambitions of exhibiting their knowledge 1 1 of the human form divine makes the general effect of the exhibition lees pleasing and decorous than it I might be with a reasonable distribution of clothing. GERMANY. DRESDEN, Dec. 27. To-day flee committees were formed to deliberate on the fundamental principles of the German Diet (Baud). The first committee is to deliberate on the organisation of the highest authorities of the Diet, and on the ex•ent of the Diet's boundaries (amfang dts Bundes gebietes). The articles of the Diet (Bun des-acte) which here come into question are : Arts. 1,4, 5,8, 7,8, 9; and of the treaty (Schluss-acte) Arts. 6, 7,11, 9, 10. In this committee Austria has the pnesidency ; it is composed of Prussia, Bavaria, Srxony, Wurtemburg, Hanover, Oroesberg, Hesse, Electoral Hesse, Frankfort, and Saxe Wiemar. The subjr-et before the committee is the sphere of opera tion of the highest organs of the Diet, and the rela tions of the Diet and the separate states to each other. The articles of the Diet (Bandes-see) here to be referred to are : Art. 7, 10, 11, 13, and of the treaty (Schlase-acts) 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 65, and also the execution edict of August 3rd, 1820. Prussia bathe presidency in this committee, and its members are Austria, Bavaria, Saxony, Wir temberg, B iden, Mecklenburg-Schwerin Mecklen burg-Sirelbz, Holstein, and Anhalt-Bernberg. The third committee is to take under its conside ration the material interests, commerce, customs, duties, shipping, &c. The articles of the Diet they will have to consider will be 11 and 19, and of the treaty, 64. Bavaria has here the presidency, and the committee is composed of Austria, Prussia, Saxony, Hanover,Wartemburg,Baden, Saxe Cubourg, Hamburg, Oldenburg. The fourth committe will deliberate on the Diet's juritclictioe, according to the 20 h and 19th Articles of the treaty, also according to the 29.32 of the same, in connection with the Aus trier' edict of June 16, 1817. Saxony has here the presidency, while the members are Hanover, Nassau, Brunswick, Bremen, and Schaumberg-Lippe. The fifth committee will consult upon the manner in which protocols are to be drawn up (protocol fiehr bog). Hanover is here president, and Prussia, Saxony, and Saxe-'sleiningen are the members. DRESDEN, Dec. .28.. The reporting et the ministerial conferences is, it is said, to be committed to DL Thiery. The Minister Eisendeeher, from Oldenburg; Messrs. Lauer and Strauss, from ticbsumbarg-Lippe ; and M. Schuma cher, from Walbeck, have arrived here u plenipoten tiaries. STUTGARDT, Dec. 28. In to-day's number of the Sttagarde it,,-.:eiger there is a royal ordinance against the abuse of the press. The chief clauses of this ordinance are : Every paper or publication must be signed by the editor, who must be a citizen, of 25 years of age at least, and have his permanent residence in the country. Any one who has been condemned to any punishment cannot be an editor. And, after any penal sentence has been ,passed on an editor as such, he cannot again I assume editorial functions before the expiration of six months. The editor, as well as the author, is is all eases respected. Oar government, we hear, are perfectly agreed with that of Munich with respect to the demand for a German representation at Frankfort. The assertion that Bavaria and Wurtemburg will act in concert at the conferences, is not true. Each of these govern ments will act independently ; but it is true that there are many important points on which they are agreed. _ FUL DA, Drc. 27. The first remittarcs from the Frankfort committee in aid of this sorely-tried province was distributed here to-day. The Elberfelder Zeitung gives an account of a serious attack having been made in Cassel, on the 201 h, by the Hessian troops oa the Bavarians. The latter were not only forcibly, according to this account, ejected from several public-houses, but were thrown out of the windows, when many of them, re verely injured, were carried to the hospitals. The street patrols had been doubled. The Bavarian garrison, so long stationed here, left us this morning. FRANKFORT, Dec. 27. The Elector has declared that the most perfect un derstanding ex ate between him and the Prussian government. DAItMSTADT, DEC. 28.

Yesterday the Chamber of Deputies held a sitting in which tke estimates were diecussed. Several amendments were brought forward by the opposition. At the beginning of the sitting Num y Lastra asked the Minister of Foreign Affairs whether it was true that the concordat was all but agreed upon as it has been rumoured. The Minister Pidal replied is the negative, but refused to enter into any details upon the state of the negotiations. Puiz, ono of the Cate , lonian deputies, inquired why the new theatre was called the Royal Theatre, and whether the govern ment had anything to do with the management of it. The Minister of the Home Department said that everything relative to the theatre would be explained when the estimates fur the home department were examined. General Prim then brought forward an amendment equivalent to a vote of want of confidence in the ministry. His speech was remarkable for its moderation. General Narvaez replied, and the amendment was rejected, the opposition only mustering 31 votes. The other amendments, supported by Senor Orobio and others, shared the some fate. The house was but thinly attended, and the speeches little attended to. On Friday there will be a great field day; the celebrated mysticamoso Cortes will speak in opposition to the go vernment. The young wife of the King Consort's bro ther (Don Henry) has arrived in Madrid, and has been very kindly received by the royal family. The object of her coming is to induce the government to permit her husband's return to Madrid, now that all political difficulties concerning him are put an end to. Don Henry is residing at Toulouse, where he is doing the Lothario in public with a " fair mischief," a native of that city. It is with a view of getting her faithless husband out of French temptations that his wife has applied to the ministry to authorise his 'return. Gen.Roneali,the late Captain-General ot Cuba, has fallen dangerously ill in a little village on his way to Madrid. Here there is a great deal of sickness. San Martin, the eub-secretary for the Home Depart cent, died yesterday. Several 'peflitical oharac•ers (among others the Minister of War, General Figu ra) are suffering from head attacks, caused by the erre= dryness and cold of the atmosphere. The Queen hoe put 40,00) dollars of her private property at the divosal of the Home Department for the expenses of theopera, an act which has been much censured both by the King Consort and the Queen Christine. A masriage is talked of between General P— and one of the King Consort's sisters. aisriftrn, Dac. 24 —Three per Cents., 3.5 7.16; after 8010, 351 cub, 35 7.16 paper. Four per Cents., 121.

Mr. Seguin's pro (mien& attainments are well known to this musical world. Posseuel of a fine bass voice, he was a sound musician, of pure and cultivated taste, and especially distinguished as • performer of sacred mimic. His untimely death at the age of only a x and thirty, will be much telt, as the lose of an annompligted artist, and a worthy and amiable man. REDUCTION OF INCOME TAX—IMPORTANT TO TeNANT FARXIRS.—An application has been made by the Income Tax Commissioners for the Yeovil division to the Board of Inland Revenue, to ascertain whether they ought to make any reduction in the amoaut of income tax anened on tenant farmers in eases where their rents had been re duced ; and the answer received from the Board is to th e effect that, in all cases where there his been a bona fat reduction of rent, there might be • redastion of the income tax in the same relative proportion. The tax must be assessed on the net amount of rent 'actually pail, or for which the tenant is really liable, awl not on the nomi na l amounts at which the farm is res ted. It is highly important to the tenant farmers of the kingdom that this should be widely known, for that which is done in one district is of course applicable to the country at loge ; we hope, there fore, that our contemporaries generally will take cognisanc e of this circumstance and make ft known to then readers.— Sherborne Journal. INDIA. THE OVERLAND MAIL. By special express we have received our despatches in anticipation of the overland mail. The dates are : Bombay, Dec. 3; Calcutta, Nov. 21; Malts, Dec. 25. In our last despatch we noticed the case of Major Bartlemao, of the 44th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry, who had been recently tried by a court martial, on charges arising out of his conduct towards Lieut. and Mrs. Shelton. We have tow to state, that, as was anticipated on the publication of the proceedings at Calcutta, the result of the trial has been fatal to Major Bartleman's commission. egseitunteenntcedßombbya Bombay from rank, pay, and allowances, for having spoken la a disparaging and disrespectful manner of his NaCv general pets eo inL ur iCg. t hl m i. a Bl r yn t m i f i n li y b c:f e h s tash as e p s e b : R e n d for six menthol eommandiog officer, Major R.

The following is tho letter of our Bombay corre spondent: BOMBAY, DEC. 3. The news by the present mail is not of much im portance. The Governor-General was to have reached Lahore on the 26th ult. A meeting betwixt him and the Maharajah of Casbmeer, our old and faithful ally Goolaub Singh, takes place at Wuzeerabad, it not being considered safe to allow such a tumasha to come off at the capital, for fear of a disturbance, as neither the Jamoo ruler nor his troops are held in over high estimation ,by the Lahoreans, who look on them as traitors to the old Khalsa rule, in that they did not join with them against us in the late campaigns. The reasons for the meeting betwixt the two rulers have not transpired. Some years hence aßlue-book will dis close them. The" gathering" at Lahore consequent on the advent of tho Governor-General and the Races, was considerable, and a great deal of gaiety prevailed amongst the upper ranks of society ; but it is painful to say that the soldiery, Europeans esrecially, were still suffering from sickness—levers in particular. The last published return shows that on the 15th Nov. there were 1,122 on the sick list oat of a force of 7,262 men. Of these 97 belonged to the 14th Dragoons, and 295 to the let European Fusiliers. The latter had lost eight men during the week, six from dysentery, which in dozens of cases supervenes on fever. In three weeks they had lost 22 men; since their arrival at Lahore, 97. At Wuzeerabad and Peshawar a good deal of sickness still prevailed, but it was abating somewhat—as also at Mooltan. Mr. H. B. E. Frere, now commissioner at Sattara, is to succeed Mr. Pringle as commissioner in Scinde, Mr. T. Ogilvy. political agent in Catch, takime Mr. Frere's place at Sitters. The steamer Nimrod, which was run ashore on the coasi of Kattiawar, on the 26th of October, to escape sinking, has be en got off and brought to Bombay for repairs: she has suffered but little damage. The Lord Bishop of Madre., and the Nepsul Ambassador, hare left Bombay on their way io Madras and Calcutta, respectively. The conduct of the former while here gavo great satisfaction; he is an able preacher and active and energetic man— seeing and judging for himself. The latter was little amongst us, and was comparatively unknown. The governor of Bombay has returned to the pre.sidency in good health. Sir W. Cotton is also here, waiting the arrival of Sir John Grey, his successor: he will quit India in January. Sir G. Berkeley, commander in-chief of Madras, has resigned. He will not serve under Sir W. Gomm, a junior. Sir C. Napier will be here in the end of this month ; he goes home early in January. He has not refunded the Scinde prize money. The government order says all officers wishing to go home must pay before they can do so. Major Bartleman, 44-h Bengal N. 1., bee &ea dis missed, or rather cashiered the service: and serve him right; Sir C. Napier would not listen to the court's recommendation to mercy.

The criminal sessions opened to-day before Sir W. Yardley. There are 25 cases down for trial, no less than six of which are for murder, all of the most diabolical nature, which have been perpetrated within the past three months. The deaths in Bombay during November were 1,018, of which 58 were from cholera, and 19 from violence. P.S.—The My'assilite of the 26th ult., received this morning, announces the death of Major 1). C.

Itabhine, 17th Irregular Cavalry, reported by that paper, on the 191 ult., as having taken place at Lahore, turns out to be unfounded : the gallant major had been danger ously ill, but was by last reports (22nd) out of danger. Major Ramsay, military secretary to the Governor- General, just returned from Europe, and Major Little 9th Lancers, had reached Meerut about the 23rd Nov., in progress to the Punjaub. The Lieutenant-Gover nor of the North-Western Provinces was expected at Laharunpore on the 27th ult., on his way back to Agra from Simla. I have just heard for certain that Dr. G. Buist has been appointed Sheriff of Bombay for the emitting year; the berth is worth, 1 believe, 1,0001. a year. This year It' is believed it will be something nearer 2,0001. than 1,0001. It has been conferred on him as a reward for his exertions in bringing the School of Industry—now prospering under his charge—into existence. I believe this is the first instance in which the shrievalty has ever been conferred on any Burst,r. üblic a o n d ta u g r e i during especially i p a a l l s y t one as a reward for his exertions in the public cause.

But peace has its triumphs ae well as war, and of there we have at present tome of the most splendid that can be achieved to record. 'The laying:of the foundation stone of the Oirls' School at Calcutta—an insti tution brought into existence by the Hon. Mr. Driskwater Bethune, legislative member of council, and specially patho s lied by government—may be regarded as the in augurs tine of female education in India ; h ence f orth i t is to be h oped destined to form a matter of public con cern. Mr. Bethune, besides bestowing on the mat -1 ter an unbounded amount of attention and care, has sub scribed no less than 10,0001. from his own p'ivate purse to the establishment. At Bombay the cause of native female education is progressing quite as promisingly as a t C a l cutti, though under widely &Recent auspices. Here gir:s' schools I have been established in numbers by the members ;of the Students' Literary Society, themselves all natives, stimu lated alone by the counsel of their instructors, and their own anxiety for the improvement of their countrywomen. A The decrease in the number of farms in 1848 compared with the previous year is stated to have been 71,137. The decrease in 1849, as compared with 1848, is computed at 46,041. This change is chiefly observable in the holdings between five and fiatecn acres ; those tetwt en fifteen and thirty appear to have decreased, though not in the same proportion ; and the number of cottier tenements are represented as remaining nearly as numerous as before. The inferences which are suggested in the com mentary of Captain Laltecit on these posi tive-looking facts, tend to create an impres sion that the system of rural depopulation has rather been checked than otherwise since the epoch of the famine. The instances of what is called "consolida tion " are absolutely fewer in 1849 than in 1848; and there are almost as many labourers' cabins as there need to be. But a little reflection will suffice to con- vince us that is regards the former the comparison to have any practical meaning must be one of relative proportions, not of nominal sums. If ten peasant homesteads were levelled to the ground in a given parish in 1847, and six others in the following year, the spirit of demolition and extirpation must have been in reality more active in the second year than in the first, although the objects of its economic aversion were less. And as for the cottier tenement., unless we had some precise information in dis proof we could hardly refuse belief to the united testimony of all eye-witnesses worthy of credit, that the work of up-rooting and casting forth as weeds thou who once lived partly by their labour and partly by the produce of their patch of ground— has been unceasingly and unsparingly pursued throughout a great portion of the kingdom. We don't deny the arithmetic accuracy of the statement before us, but we wholly dispute the meaning it pro fesses to convey. Thousands of labourers with their families have, during the period in question, cleared from the estates whereupon they were born,and their vulgar dwellings—what the theorising improvers are wont tomtit" eye-sores"—got rid of sum marily. Few of these people have had the means of emigrating, and few who survived the days of pesti lence remain in the union workhouse.. Where are they then? In daily inereasieg clusters in the su burbs of the [owes and in the rapidly extending villages. There, congregated in manes, far more helpless, and with far less chance of employment for hire, they struggle to eke out existence. Their new huts and gardens are jotted down in the statistic note-book of the police, and the calculating machine in the government office finding 100 cabins less in three-fourths of the district, and 99 more in the other fourth, where the market town is situated, sagaciously sets out both in his account by double entry, and supplies his chief with circumstantial warrant for the blind conclusion that " in the cottier clue the num bers were the same in 1849 as in 1848 in many coun ties, and in other counties the reduction was incon siderable." This is but one instance of the worthless inductions that the unscientific use, or rather abuse of what are called statistics, is apt to lead to. In point of fact, no species of inquiry needs more trained skill and more circumspect wisdom. None assuredly demands more undivided, undistracted, sad unprejudiced attention. To fling the task to an already fully occupied man, however able and well disposed, is to trifle with the subject, and to lose the opportunity of effecting any substantial good.
