US. - LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30. Oxus of the most beneficent departments of politico thooomic science, and one in which England is net quite on a par with other countries, is the pro viding and the distribution of capital ti the chums of wailer industry. Capital with us is like the current of the Nile, fall and fertilizirg ; but it overflows merely into great canals and arteries, and is not sonducted into the smaller veins, which would vivify the Lbws or the poor man. This defect is felt all ever the world, both in advanced and backward seentries, and nothiog has contributed more to give lib and vigour to principles of communism smog the poor than the fact, that the toe and facilities ef militia granted to men of a high class of industry ON SOW extended to the lower, however regular and moral and honest they may be. Them can be, therefore, no more efficient, and, at the same time, philanthropic way of combating eon minima than by institutions the end of which is to collect and invest the savioks of the humbler claims ef industry, and at the rime time grant credit to the more deserving and promising of that class. A ban quet wes beldlait wok to honour the inauguration of an institution, the Royal British Bank, which, along with other and loftier aims, includes the plea of affordiog the advantages we have de geribed. The dinner, we are informed, was en of the best of its kind, both for viands and oratory; and we have seen the bills of fare and the parts of speech of many a more solemn meeting 11l the columns of oar pose without presenting in one twentieth degree the meet and attraction of the disuse at LOTIOILOVeII on Monday week . What, a ft er all, is capital, bat the acensulation of what will feed labour until its industry clan procure a return P Food and labour—there are the elements into which capital resolves. Countries that we esteem the poorest abound in both these elements,and yet with a fertile soil and willing army, the one is not tilled, the other not employed. We hear much of the prosperity of the Unihil States, and the backwardness of oar own English pommies& We are confident that the great difference lies is the different mode of dealing with the two great elements —a made which man, left in complete freedom, always contrives to diecover, but which, as long man is left totally and hereditarily dependent, he knows not and cares not bow to find. We do believe, that the great difference between Scotland and Ireland was simply this. The Bork made the great discovery, and develop cl it in a national system of credit and of tacking ; whilst the social and political feelingof the Irish leftthem net the opportunity, even if they had the inventive fanlike, for the porprse. Iu England, it is to bs hared, we are retrograding in this respect. The abesepies at capital in railways and other speculations, restristises on currency , rend. red necessary by the abase of credit to farther these speculations, together with the necessary changes that have been made in theartithaff mode of keeping up the prices of agricultural rause —all these causes have, instead d opening new sources of credit to the agriculturist, on the contrary, deprived him of many of the facilities that he had be. fore. And we are confident that this general with dewed of credit from the farmer contributes far more to the present panic, distress, and low prime, than any importation from abroad. And ff the farmer continues to sae the lemmas of despair, and to look to the rookeries of protective duties to some worthless and blearier abk amount, instead of entitling themselves by seisms and exertion to a large command of credit, we firmly believe that the present race of farmers will be sword away like drones from the hive, after they have be. emus incapable of the bee's calling. In Ireland, for example, what might it sat de P and even in England, had the actual cultivators st the land any real security to seer. Bat what eessrlly en tenants at will, cc yearly tenants, offer P The see ot an agricultural bank se to advance mossy Is the tenant on the security of the land.

Foe to matinee those institutions in their present state of subserviency to European officers who take no real interest in the people, is to L condemn the natives of India to moral destruction and material depression. We have tried our present sys i tem for half a century, and the people of India have t in that period receded in comfort, civtltaation, and, it is much to be feared, even in numbers.

THUM/AT, 670 P.ll Whilst the presidential policy is in conflict in the chamber with part of the majority, and whilst the Chamber is discussing the oonstitutionsl question of what is the sovereign power, an event of great im portance has just been made known, which msy have the effect of changing the state of parties. The elder and younger Bourbons have effected a reconciliation, and a messenger his gone to Preluded to inform the Count de Chambord of the allegiance of Louis Philipps. It appears that the latter alone held out against the attempts made for some considerable time put to effect this junction, and that he held out for ad vantages which it was not in the power of the other party to grant. Now all difficulties are over, and the two branches being united, we shall see their adherents here obliged to declare themselves. The effect of this seems to be that the )unction be tween the President and the republicans must be hastened, se else he could not keep head spinet the combined efforts of the legitimists and Orleanista. The hopes of the latter are of course no s:cret, but I do not know how far they may be grounded. It cannot be doubtful, however, but that Louis Napo leon would gain strength by a cordial junction with the Cusignao party and the more moderate of the Left. A very little time now will produce a iesolt. The ministry, notwithstanding all that is said to the contrary, is shaky. The President says, "Do some thing," to men who think they have done wonders. Tl.e trait' of the message of the President are still vi sible in the conflicts of the Chamber. The Assembly yesterday was dircossing, u I have stated, the ques tion of naturalisation, and was about to conclude the debate, when the left raised the question of parlia mentary sovereignty, and Waisted on the legislature being superior to the presidential power. The message, however,hu laiddewn the supremacy of thelatter,and an amendment by MM. Bourret and Mauguin was put forward as much as a slur against the execotive as fur any other cause. The amendment was to the effect that the Nat io nal Assembly should deride on applications sent in for naturalisation, and M. Bourret declared his motive in presenting it to be that the Assembly was always sovereign. There evidently was a defiance avast the measge. M. de Vett manil carol to the rescue, saying that the sovereign power rested with the nation, not the Assembly, which was only its delegate. M. Rouber argued on the same principle, and opposed the amendment. The Chamber, however, felt the importance of the matter, sad determined to send the amendment to the com mittee. Oa this occasion again several members of the Right voted with the Left; the amendment was referred accordingly. To-day the debate in the Chamber turtle. upon a highly rational proposal made by M. Fouquier d'Herouel to increase the number of electoral districts —a proposal which a committee advised to have taken into consideration. M. de Larochejsequelin spoke in favour of the measure, which would cause the present cantons to be divided into as many dis tricts as may be necessary to facilitate the electoral operations. Thus, certain electors who at present have many miles to come to vote, and who do not simetimes exercise their privilege on that account, would be placed on a much more convenient footing. M. Savoie and M. ()arid opposed the motion, the former saying that the votes by communes had been debated by the constiluonts and rejected, and any change now made would be a breach of the Galati tation. The debate was proceeding at post-hour. M. Dumas' project of law on pensions for old age has been received with little satisfaction by the spe cial committee, as well as by that on publio assist ance. The questicnof premium is considered by both as involving a dangerous precedent. The legitimist plot has gone off in smoke, and go vernment can make very little out of it, the pretended documents seised being:quite unimportant, and almost useless for the purposes of accusation.

The Alkbas war cost the government of India not be then seventeen millions sterling (some antho titles my twenty millions), besides a fiLe army; sad what has that government to show for this enormous expenditure, e xtracted from the bones, sine es, and thews of th e: ryots of India? Not a foot etland, profitable or unprofitable—nothing but igno miny and disgrace; its only monument is the earldom of Anal:land. In that case, however, we know sad have ;slid the cost of our outrageous policy. The memente are balanced, paid, and finaly islotied. Not ewe Imerever, in Winds.

Up, then, to this time, the loss to *slam government, by the acquisition of &lode eennst be less than three millions and a half sterling ; MI SD far from there being any likelihood of profit kern the province, the probab lity is that the ryoti d leak will yearly hare to coLtinue to pay a large sum for our possession of it; though that possession an in no way promote their happiness ; nay, though it must diminish their comforts. A similar state of thiop is to be found at tits Puojaub. What may have been the ant of the two Sikh war is not yet known ; and newer will be, if the East India Company and the Illeard of Control can prevent it; but as the armies engaged in either exceeded those empldyed in Affghanistan, its cost mast have boa "asap aiillious sterling ; all of which, with small exceptions, is up to this a pecuniary loos to the peop!e of ladbc From the whole of his dominions, RONJEET SINGH, in his beet days, derived two millions and a half sterling mussily ; but, as we yet possess only a part of his ten keels', as after the ravages of war the put we do possess can hardly be so profitable se it was in pesos, and as our system of collection greatly exceeds in expense that of Rumen, he will be a an gulps financier who expects that the Punjaub can for years pays its expenses. The first question that a conscientious government, in the position of the East India Company, would in this situation consider is, are we to keep possession of provinces which offend against the first principle of territorial acquisition? Are we to retain countries which impose a serious annual cost on our subjects; those 'objects having hod no voice either in the policy which led to their conquest, or in that which dictates their retention ? This, however, is a question which the But India Company, and t he Board of Coutrol (which, bad as the East India Company may be, is much worse), will not entertain. We therefore par over its consideration, and proceed to other points in the great question of good government for India. If however, the rubes of the Indian government will not abandon conquests which impose heavy burthena on their subjects, they, must not be allowed to augment those berthing by L 7 m¢ on addit ion al taxes. If they will increase their territories and extend their frontier, they most be made to do so with the pecu niary means they already possess. It is the duty, as it ought to be the pleasure , of this country to enforce m ad thi e rvernment of India the same role they have im on their own government —abetinence from 'timid taxation ; for it is only by the impoei tics of mob a rule that government can be brought to economise or to a muss of its actual position in India. If the govern ment ci India indispensably require a larger TOVOnlik than they now gasser, Ist mm be referred to the augmented prosperity of their subjects for it— to the development of the resources of the country they rule over—to the extension of its commerce—to the improved morality of the natives aad of their own wevente—let them, in 'bort, be told to seek larger revenues through the lastrimentality of good govern meat.

BAR THOLOMEW'S HOSPITAL. PUBLIC MEETING. Obr readers will recollect that, so far back u April last, whilst criticising the conduct of the Dean and Chapter of Rochester with respect to the various charitable Lands placed ander their control, the Erpress alluded, among other matters, te the estates of lit. Bartholomew's Hospice!, originally intended for the relief of the poor and dimmed, but which, somehow or other,. had bees gradually absorbed in transit, except a very small fraction, which the Dean of Rochester, who is patron to' the charity, distributed to four poor brethren, all that remained of the ancient stu n ficeut institution. A short oaths* of the history of the charity will be necessary tamable our readers to understand what took place yesterday in Rochester, a report of which we subjoin. The foundation dates so far hack so a.n. 1078, befog the work of Bishop Gundulph, and was intended for the reap lion of " Lepers, Lasers, sad other poor persons," natives of the county, and was endowed by the founder with lands to the than value of 131. a year. On the dissolution of the monasteries the control of this hospital (which had before been vested in the monks of St. Andrew's Priory) was handed over to the Dean of Rochester, and has continued to be under the patronage of successive deans ever since. In course of time, however, the property gradually roe in value (it is now estimated at 3,6001. annual rental), bat the advan tages derived by the poor busk in a proportionate ratio. The hospital, which under the monks of St. Andrew's wee a be nefit to the whole district, became at last a receptacle for only tour " poor brethren," one of whom earned his aunty pit tanos by performing divine service in the ancient chapel of the hospital. The gradually advancing ?slue of the property was meanwhile disposed of in enormous renewal fines sr caved by the deans as leases fell in. The matter was at lad bromeht before the Master of the Rolls by the Attorney- General, and a decree was obtained prohibiting the dean from further interference with the charity, and vesting its estates in the ecclesiastical commission. In pursuance of this deems Mr. Faroe, solicitor, attended yesterday on behalf of the Attorney General to hear from the various local bodies suggestion as to the future disposal of the fonds, and to obtain fnformition generally as to the wants of the towns and districts interested. The meeting took place at the Guildhall, and The MAYOR (Mr. Liddens) having Mesa the chair, Mr. FE ARON opened the proceedings by saying that before enuring into the general business of the meeting he wished to state two or three facts which might perhaps very mush I clear the subject. He was the more anxious to do this u I from what had appeared in the public papers he feared that there was considerable misapprehension abroad. The most important topic of all was the funds with which they had to deal, which had been broadly estimated at somewhere about 3,6001. per annum. But it should be remembered that the property was subject to leases (upwards of 601.), and that whatever might at a future period be done with 'too leases—a point on which he would say nothing—they influenced the present value, which really was not more than one-half what had bee n stated in the papers. Neither was it very probable that any very large sum would be at present available. It was necessary to bear these facts in mind in shaping their suggestions, which might be so framed as, while moderate at present, might be capable of expansion, as the funds int:reseal. There was another tact, which he must state in public to a public body. It had been stated in the papers that the estates of St. Bartholomew's Hospital were in the possession of the dean and chapter of Rochester, the fact being that that body never had anything to do with them. The property bad been for years under the control of the dean as patron of the hos pital, and he (Mr. Fearou)oould only say, in justice to the dean, that from the moment the report of the commissioners same out, he (the dean had not granted any lessis or other wise interfered with the property. (Hear, hear.) It was the wish of the Attorney General that this fact should be stated, and also his opinion that nothing could be more honourable or upright than the conduct of the dean in this matter. (Hoer, hear.) lie was now ready to receive sug gestions from the various local bodies. The various local institutions and interests were !Tro unced by deputations, each of which gave in a written list of suggestions, which were severally read aloud by Mr. Faros, and o f which the following is the substance : The firct was from the Rev. Dr. Irving, rector of Chat ham who held that the designs of the founder would not be euried out, if the funds WITS diverted front the spiritual ne cessities of the district. His plan would be to restore and enlarge the chapel of the hospital, appoint a clergyman to it, and endow him with an adequate stipend. The corporation suggested that the funds should be em ployed in the foundation of a hospital for out door as well .e in door patients, as institution absolutely necessary in a district which had a population of 60,000. At the same time, she corporation de: fired that the chapel should be preserved la an efficient state. The Earl of ROMNEY, as head of a deputation from the Ophthalmic Hospital, Maidstone, suggested that a portion of the forthcoming fends should be allocated to that charity, observing that altheugh leprosy was now happily unknown in England, there were some affections of the eye which medical men pronounced to be nearly akin to that disease. The noble earl read some tables, which showed that is tour years the hospital at !Isidro)** had received 206 patient. from R cheater and the neighbouring districts. Another deputation suggested that all the funds should be given to the dispensary, which might speedily be con meted into an hospital.' ' The Rev. DREDGE, one of the clerical brethren of the hospital on the present foundation, was of opinion that a hospital end infirmary should be established, but hoped that tee chapel world be preserved, as It was at a great distance from the petit!' church, and was a great comfort to many aged MOW. The next suggestion was from the medical men of the vicinity. who demanded a hospital capable of relieving 100 in-door and 200 out-door patient., the total expense of which they estimated at 2,1801. per annum. Mr. TJBBARD pat in a claim for the guardians of the Medway Union. The Rev. W. CONWAY 'requested permission to make a few observations in support of th e prooos .al for establishing a hospital. He congratulated himself on the fast that from so many different bodies, acting without any concert, sugges tions had come in favour of a hospital. (Hear, hear.) He untended that the funds belonged exclueively to the three towns, seeing that the hospital was originally founded by a t ishop of Rochester, and that the dean was patron. Tn. y bad a large and poor population who were, it was believed, subject to many influences prej udicial to health. The rev. speeker then read tables of the comparative ex pose at Canterbury, Brighton, and other hospitals, from whisk he inferred that an efficient hospital might be tee bibbed in Rochester at an expense of 1,7001. or 1,8001. an &sally. In the estimate he contemplated spiritual instruc tion at the hospital. Mr. HAYWARD asked what was to be done for the spiritual necessities of the tenants, if the chapel, funds were alienated. I Kr. CONWAY intimated that the tenants paid rent for I their seats. Mr. NICHOLSON said that the chapel question was an epee question. The great point about which the citizens were anxious was the hospital. Mr. LEWIS, coroner, suggested the establishment of an seam for female orphans. MS Rev. Mr. BARKER hoped that the outlying districts he the &stases of five miles would have the advantage of the erhospital. ladies, Miss HULKS and HORSENAIL, proposed that a portion of the fiends should be given to an infant school. Mr. FEARON baying read all the suggeetions, said that all should be submitted to the Attorney-General, who would give them every attention and would be happy to receive further suggestions up to the latest moment. The MAYOR asked when would the suggestions be sent in by the Attorney-General ? Mr. FEARON said that the first thing to consider wan the amount of funds. It would be absurd to make any ar rangement until that was ascertained. At present the in- come was only 1301. a year. It would, however, be gradually increasing. Thanks were then voted to Mr. Patron for his attendance, and to the Mayor for presiding, and the meeting broke up The following curious extract from the Lansdowne MS., being a letter from the then Bishop to Lord Burleigh, shows that the revenues of the charity were in peril so far hack SS the 16th century, and that then the hospital was an exten sive charitable institution.
