The Colonial, referring to the above document, says: In our pocket suniauy of the 4th inst. we expressed the disappointment which we and, as far as we could learn, our fellow-c domino generally felt at the Inooscluslas sad unsa tisfactory report presented to the House of CUMMINS by Mr. bullies committee, and which wee only agreed to by a ma jority of one. We have now to add to oar recorded opinions the corroboradve testimony of the majority of oar colonial legiiletore, as relentnly expressed in the reply to the goveranee address to the mutt, upon re-assembling it on Yi idsy last. It will be seen by this document that British Guiana is neither to be humbugged by delusive pedal pleading, nor cajoled by a few sott words into an atesi,doninent of its guataateed and constitutional liberties and yrivile:es. We have have taken our stand upon oar rights ; we appal to the ultimate tribunal, the imperial parliement ; we bring forward in sustairmeut of those rights the clear and cone:wive testimony of the law , officers of the - • - e—o ...,essive administrations on a case, not crown, under two sucee•wv. drawn up by eurulyee, bet by the Colostanm-- opinion being seven at the butane* of the present premier. the other at the !Igo st of Llrd Stanley under Sir Robert Peel's adzoinirtrauun, sad we tlatrort and implore Its abju dicalon 01 peel mint between as and our official opponents sad °pima% n. The Court has taken up the estimates of 1848, ',hi+ ought to have b ?en passed last year. The Demerara Railway is before the Combined Court. The Franchise Bill has made some progress. A joint stock company is formirg to purchase and cultivate lard upon an improved system. At Trinidad toe complaints of the proprietors of sugar estates ate lees frequent. Portuguese immi grants are having Trinidad for America. The Avon has brought home frightful accounts from Calif tritia of the state of society there. One of the peasrugers in the Avon from Chagree to Jamaica, was retorrang to America, having made in California 75,000 dollars in 71 days. From Havana there is no particular 'news of impottscee. The yellow fever was prevailing. Is sugars these was an active inquiry for the European markets, sod prices had further advanced. The de. mend for Spain had alto revived. For a day or two before the reamer's sailing the market was more quiet, but planters were very firm, and some of them bad wi•horaan fur the present, expecting still higher rater f.,r the limited proportion of the crop yet left. The quotations were, for assorted kinds, 7.11 to 8.12 ; for whites, 28.8 to 29.10 per cwt., free on board ; ditto choice, 32.2 ; yellows, 10.5 to 20.7: ditto choice and superior, 21.0 to 22.11 ; browns, 17.2 to 18.10 • cueurachos, 15.11 to 16.6. There was very little dasoovado sugar in the market. The weather had continued showery, and the growing crops were reported to ',sin a favo le gible condition. Coffee found purchasers in only small patee.s. Freights were dull. The last transactions were at 55e. for three small privileged vessels to Cowes and Falmouth and a market, and 575. 641. for an American barque to St. Petersburg. Exchange on London, 14 to 13 per cent. premium; on Paris, 1 to 2 premiere. The small-pox was still raging at St. Vincent's. In Antigua the rainy sedsna had set in, and the dis pensed hopes of the planters were beginning to revive. The Iltsise of Assembly had adjourned for a month. Large public mee'ings had been held to petition the home government against infractions of the slave treaties on th., part of Spain and Brazil. The weather had been showery in St. Lucia. An ordinance enacted for enabling the local government to obtain a loan to most the expenditure of the current year had received the approval of the governor-in-chief. The French Antilles were still unsettled. From Bermuda we are informed that the convicts have been perfeely quiet since the late lamentable occurrences on bottid the Medway hulk. The anni versary. of the °eduction of slavery in the British possessions passed off quietly on the lit of August in 'Bermuda. Copious showers of rain had fallen, after an almost unprecedented drought, and had proved very beneficial to the island. COMMERCIAL. (From De Owdora's Mrrearitile Ineellipmeer.) Kiteocrow, Jule 21.—The *miner of the past week has been a little more active, owing to Ike vicinity of the August holidays. But the increased stir is very triding and =lmportant. The low rates at which all kinds of lien have hewn selling have canard a little better demand. and we think there is also more activity in the Floor market. The quantities of Butter sent on lately have been rhi en. toddy large. We have endeavoured for a long time to impress upon the minds of shippere.hat this market is not nuts to bear the slightest abundance of any as =lc. The scarcity of a commodity will not raise Its out, because the pe,ple arc poor and cannot go atom a certain mess ak ; a but the 11110 trifling superfluity will, for the Nlttie Tragllt, de. press artier, and keep It depressed en long that if it be perishable, like Butter, It must result in heavy loss.

MONEY MARKET. TVISDAT Bvwlco. There was not much business dons to-day in the home funds, and the market was altogether without any striking feature, beyond a considerable degree of l flatness, under which our stocks declined about from the ape • g price.

The rates of foreign exchanges for this mail were rather higher for bills on Holland and Austria, whilst on Naples it is a trifle lower. Hamburg and Paris remain the same as last mail. According to commercial sdvicea of the Bth hem Alexandria, the market for flax continues extremely dull, and prices were supported only by the great scarcity of the article, the arrivals during the last three months not having exceeded 1,500 centners. The price was quoted 161. 13e. to 181. 65., free on board. The cotton market was in an active state, and several large purchases had been made at an advance of 1 to 1 dollar per centner, and 6,000 eentners had realised 8 dole. The quotations were for private Cotton, 4d. 63 to 4d. 94; Cotton of large growers, 4d. 94 to sd. 24 ; superior lots, sd. 53 to 3d. 83 free on board. Tonnage continued very scarce, and the rates of freight to England were for Cotton 11-161. to 4d., and 5 ier cent. with gratuity; for Fax, 31. 10s. 1041., with .1 per cent. and gratuity. The market for grain was without animation. The Bean crop was deficient. The Wheat crop it was expected would be a fall ave rage if not an abundant one. Indian corn had fallen in price from 18.. to 14s. 4d. The old stock of Lin seed had been sold for the Trieste market at 29e. 10d. Inc on board. It was expected the new crop would be deficient, and high prices were anticipated, as Fel lers for delivery had paid forfeits on contracts. The la•st freight paid wed. Ba. in full for small vessels for orders for wheat, beans, and Indian corn. The arrival of the steam ship Europa at Liverpool puts us in poseeFsion of accounts from New York to the 8:h instant, and from Canada to the 7th inst. The commercial intelligence received by this oppor lunar, especially from the United States, is of a more cheering character than that received from thence during the previous month. The cholera bad materially abated, though its presence still was much too evident, throughout the United Stater, and with its detaine the public mind was recoverirg its wonted elasticity, and symptoms of a revival of trade were not wanting. The treasurer of Maryland had given notice that he would redeem, on the Ist of October, 23 per cent., equivalent to 217,000 dols., of the 6 per cent. stock issued for arrears of interest funded, and redeemable at the pleasure of the state. According to the United States treasury report, the receipts and expenditure for the quarter ended 30:h of June were : receipts, 11,141,491 dole., of which 5,794,236 dole. were from the custom,. The expenditure was 14,418,231 dole., showing an excess of 3,276,740 dole. for the last quarter over the total receipts for the same period. The entire interest due on the debt of Pennsylvania had been discharged hy the state, of which about 200,000 do's. fell to the share of a well known London firm. The amount of specie deposits in the banks of New York was estimated at upwards of 10,000,000 dole. A very strong feeling prevailed in Kentucky favourable to slave emancipation, and a convention to revise the consti.ution of the state was about to meet, to which the friends of tho emancipation policy were invited to lend their support. At Philadelphia, on the 6th, the market for cotton was better, and about 400 bales exchanged hand's, mostly at 4to advance on the previous week's sales. Flour was also firm, and sales of 1,800 barrels fresh-ground Pennsylvania took place at 5 dale. Sound old stock was scarce at 4 del. 73 c. to 4 dol. 871 c. Corn meal was scarce, and in good demand. Sales took place of Pennsylvania at 2 dol. 171 c., and of Brandywine at 3 dol. per barrel. Rye flour was in demand, and very little to be had, at 3 dol. per barrel. Fereign freights were dull, and rates nomi nally the same. Exchanges held steady at 81 to 81 c. sterling. A later despatch by telegraph states that the mar ket at Philadelphia for flour was then firm at 5 dol. For wheat there was a good inquiry, but the small supply restricted the sales. Good samples of red would command 1 dol. 10 e. Cotton was e. better, and 300 bales of Upland bad been disposed of at 10 - 1 c. Advices from New Orleans state that the upward tendency visible in the cotton market for some time past, and which had become more and more decided as the season drew to a close, had gone on with acce lerated speed during the past week, and resulted in a farther advance of fully lc. per lb. The aggregate sales were 8,800 bales. The stock on hand at last dates was 16,068 bales. Inferior to good ordinary was quoted 64 to 81; low middling to good middling, 81 to 91 • middling fair to fair, 91 to 101. For tobacco there was an increseed demand, and transactions on a liberal scale had taken place at teadily-improving prices, though no material varia tion bad occurred. 'The stock on hand and on ship board was 21,917 hbde. In the Exchange market the supply and demand Imre both limited, and transactions consequently on a very small scale. Sterling was quoted 8 to 9 per seat. pm. •, Francs, sf. 22 t to sf. 27t. In freights there was no material charge to lactic*. Very little was offering, and there was no variation of consequence in the rates. The only engagement transpired was a ship for London at 32r. 6d. for tobecio. Cotton to Liverpool was 5-16 to !,d. per lb. The weather had continued variable and rainy throughout the week. The public health continued remarkably good : With respect to the crops, the New Orleans Price Current has the following : The accounts that are received from the interior with re. prd to the growing crop are quite as unfavourable as any whisk we have already noticed. The complaints of the press in relation to the injury from the recent exam. ' l e tre si t i rne, are louder and more general than ever, and them appears to be little room for doubt that there is real MONO fee apprehension on tresubject. In the meantime we weeks the receipt of a bale of cotton, purporting to be the first of the new crop of south-western Texas. Alarming accounts have been received from southern Ohio, Indiana, and Ken cooky, relative to the injury sustained by the wheat crop from rust; and the Cincinnati Price (intent apprehends a considerable deficiency in that important staple. The corn crop, on the contrary, is represented to be in a promising condition throughout the west. We learn from Montreal, under date the 7th, that the city had agreed to subscribe for 125,0001. of the stook of the Cortlandt Railroad, payable in bonds, to fall due after the expiration of five years. This was done with a view to ensure the completion of that im portant undertaking through Portland within three years. The weather at Montreal was fine and healthy. The deaths from cholera for the last twenty-four hours were only four. In the markets there woes moderate business doing. Potashes were quoted 29a. 1 and pearls 27e. 6d. Best brands of flour were selling at 21s. 9.1. Three ships had been engaged for floor to Liverpool at 3s. 9d. to 4s. Exchange on Bank was 91 to 10 per cent. prem. THE PRODUCE MARKET.

LIABILITY to rates as a measure and test of the elec tive franchise presents many recommendations, which the posses-ion of property of a given yearly value does not and cannot afford. Proof, in the latter case, depends generally on the veracity of the party whose right is in question, and where the accuracy of his statement is invariably controverted by those who have avowedly a party aim in frustrating his claim, This in itself is a prolific root of evil. The corrupting influence of the notion spreads that everything is fair in electioneering war. Men who in otter relations of life would recoil instinctively, either from exaggerating the amount of their own oossev'ions, or depreciating those of their neighbours, do not blush to own their com plicity in both where party spirit runs high. No one will contend, we presume, that the periodical re currence of such controversies is not hurtful and de. moralising to the public mind; or that any system would not be an improvement, which would rendsr the horsiness of preliminary registration more of a judicial inquiry and less of a factious struggle. For what, after all, is the subject in dispute ? Cill it a right, a privilege, or a trust—it is clearly unfit ting and indecent that its concession should be the object of a technical wrangle, or the sport of profes sional chicane. Theories apart, it is plain that the franchise is conferred for public use and benefit. To disfranchise any portion of the class cr section of the community on whom, prima fiscie, the electoral function has been devolved, is for so Touch to defeat the intention of the law. Yet this is the object sought openly and unscrupulously by men of opposite parties in the Registration Courts; and, as everybody knows, their conflicting efforts are to a great extent success ful. Some are deterred altogether from putting in their claim ; others from contending for it. Many of sensitive honour refuse to appear in Tarty drill, and thereby to yield an implied pledge of sup port to whatever candidate the ,Party may adopt. Many, on the other hand, are " knocked off," as the slang goes, because it is not known for certain bow they will vote on the one question of the hour which engrosses unthinking attention. These are frequently the very sort of men who upon any rationale of the suffrage ought to be endowed with the power of giving a constitutional vote in the choice of those who are to make our laws. Yet these are just the men who are most unc.remoniously set aside as doubtfuls" by the political comlottieri who fight, not for the sake even of the proftssed cause, but for the credit of winning and the club pay. We speak without respect of parties; but we speak of Wogs that have ceased in some measure to be scandalous, because they have, unfortunately, come to las universally notorious and habitual. They are, nevertheless, replete with acknowledged, and, as we believe, with wholly unnecessary evil. For their ma terial reduction, if not total eradication, it is but needful that public consideration should be turned to the source whence they sprig. That source mani festly consists in founding the franchise on the possession or occupancy of lands or houses worth so much a year, and about value or title to which all manner of questions may be vexatiously raised. There are whole volumes filled with reported oases of this kind,—for the most part turning upon what plain men would call the emptiest quibbles ot law, and not one of which assuredly was in the contemplation of parliament when it enacted the reform bill of 1 1 332. But the inherent vice of that vaunted measure lay in the adoption of the erroneous principle we have alluded to, and the necessary mul tiplication of alternatives and diversities of property and occupancy to which were to be assigned for the purposes of the act, an equivalent dignity and value. A 501. tenancy at will was declared to be constitu tionally as valuable as a 40 shilling freehold; while the occupation of a house worth 101. a year was added to the list of qualifications, at the same time that the old freedom of cities and boroughs was retained. Around each of these a jungle of attorney , ism has already grown up, dense and impervious to ordinary skill. If a 111111 is Wither' to trust himself to a particular faction, and if the faction happen to have in their pay the most dextrous local agent, why I then he may get through. Should the agent be of linferior dexterity, or the faction of inferior strength, there is no security whatever that the claimant will attain the legal right which the law affects to bestow. The substitution of a simple and uniform test of the franchise, such as liability to the payment of rates, would at least have the merit of putting an end to this evil. We sly not that it would cure all evils, or redress all inequalities. But so long as property is regarded as an indispensable condition of political power, it is important to avoid as far as possible un certainty and fraud in the demonstration of its per sonal cnjo3 meat; and the s 7 inpler and more uniform the test which can be prescribed tiie better. House hold suffrage as a test is open to numerous cavils. In the remote and poor agricultural districts of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland, the privilege would appertain to the (lechers in huts, having little in common with the brick dwelling of the industrious inhabitant of ordinary towns, or the decent cottage of the labourer in more prosperous localities. And the moment you define " householder" to mean something different from " houseowner," with a view to escape too great a limitation of the franchise, you open a door to attorney cavils in the registration courts. We are not now arguing againstthe extension of the right of voting to any class of our fellow-countrymen; but by all means let us seek fora clear and intelligible definition of what ever franchise is to be conferred; let us have an end of multiplied forms, and quibbles in the practical assertion of the right ; let us, in whatever new and general terms are requisite to designate the most im portant thing in our political life as a nation, be care , ful to adopt such as all honest men of common un derstanding shall agree in the interpretation of. It is greatly to be desired that whatever change is made in the law of the elective franchise, should be made for the United Kingdom as one undivided realm. Hitherto, in this as in most other matters of moment, the unions with Ireland and Scotland have been prac tically violated, while technically they have been ob served. A different system has been assumed to be indispensable for the three kingdoms, and so long as the franchise is founded on land tenure, the diversities that prevail therein seem to jos n is o i mp o sed the other b y a ha nd, g ecour .t publicir rates atvah th ee l e ast Bfranchise: ecusabons mdenebiednfibr e slinytb , i t 0 tyt heat wtorh:de erfndehn may tify the diversities in political privilege. House te el be hold suffrage, in counties as well as towns, would doubtless be a vastly simpler basis, and one more uni form in the component regions of which the imperial whole is made up. But, as we have said, even house hold suffrage would imply widely different conditions in the metropolis and in the outlying districts to the far north of Scotland, or the socially farther west of Ireland. Those who refuse to stop at any limit short of complete or universal suffrage are consistent ; but those who adopt a limit are not consistent if they leave their meaning vague and indefinable.

Imagine smaller p e prietors obliged to club together and support w ord . tog to their means, a horse or toot soldier. s uch burdens would, if directly inepcsed, be found t o intolerable. As commerce, wealth, and population have io. crewed, our regular forces have supplied the dat e d these half-forced, halt-voluntary levier. met 5e have gained by the change of system no one would doubt for a moment. Every one is left to the ment of his own affairs, on contributing to the tar r , tion by which our regular forces are support e d. Eat it is a question whether, in some respects, th e 'Nei of our torefathers was not bett-r than oar own. We do not stop to inquire here how far the 'stem of every man contributing to the service of the et a , according to the amount of his property should be ti e rule now. This is one of the grand principl es o r financial reform, the just law we are contianilly deavouring to make the basis of taxation. Oar pre. sent purpose is to show that the money contributed by the people for th t service of the regular faces o u expended on a better system under CHARLES IL tha t under VICTORIA. The grand difference in the two systems ie th e relative proportion of the effective and non-effeeti re charges. The whole effective charge under CHASUS was 750,000/. a year, the nth-effective dr y scarcely exc e!ed 10,0001.; the while elfeeti re charge under VICTORIA is more than 17,000,80%, the non-effective scarcely less thin 4,000,0001. p exact sums, according to the estimltes of 18484, le e as follows: - _ Effective. Non-rfrettive. Army nisy Orthumm 2,044.001 171,11; 12,b15,637 3,53,97 An additirnal naval expense of 882,112/. is con. nexion with the Post-office, convict, and army services completes the expenditure, above seventeen millions annuallv, for the ear eatabl;shment; the exact sum beinp 17,:15i1,546/. Thus the non-effective charges are considerably more than a fourth of the effective in amount, and constitute rather more than a hfth of the whole expenditure upon the regu lar forces. Under CHARLI.S, instead of a fifth, they did not form the seventieth part. The propos , tion was ten thousand to seven hundred and 64 thousand. Men and officers were paid, and paid well, for real services. They were employed, and, while employed, were sufficiently: remunerated. Such was the old system. It remains to be diacoveted how far the system of and:rpaying working men, and keeping others on half-pay, doing no'hir.g whatever, is conducive to the interests of the public and the war service—how far it accords with the advances in civi lisation which have taken place during the lest two centuries, or whether it is a retrograde movement.

Yds:min,' morning ft epeeial court AU summoned to be held at Green street, in pursuance et a tequisitiol, signed by the lion. F. Byng, Mr. Leelie, and Mr. Bidwell, fur the purpose of "ascertaining whether there were any truth in the statements made by Mr. Chadwick at the public Court of Sewers, on the 2nd inst." The requisition then proceeded to enumerate a number of Mr. Chadwick's vete ments, the truth of which they called id question, and wound up with the following paragraph :—" And to take such im mediate steps as the result of the evidence to be submittedid special court may render necessary f•r the honour, character, and usefulness of the court, and the best interests of the ratepayers." This requisit'on wee signed by Mr. J. Leslie, thelun Fred. Byng, and Mr. J. Bidwell. Precisely at I() o'clock two of the requisitionists (Mr. lee lie and Mr. Bidwell) entered the court room, when It we announced that Mr. Byng (the other reqnl:itionist) we unable to be pr cant in cons- quence of abserce from town. Shortly after the entrance of these gentlemen there arrived in rapid succession Mr. Chadwick, Mr. T. Hawes, Dr. Smith wood Smith, Sir J. Burgoyne, Mr. Bonfield, Mr. Hodes. Hr. A. Bain, under FCC. to the board of health, Mr. Jan son, Sir H. de la Roche, and Mr. Joseph Hume, M.P. Of this number, however, only Sir J. Burgoyne and Mr. Buse entered the court, the other gentlemen preferring to indulge themselves with the newspaper in the " commissions' room." As it is necessary to have six commissioners to forms court, the object of this move was obvious ; not one of the eight gentleman enumerated could be persuaded to enter kr the purpose of discussing the matter for which the court Imel been convened. Just previous to eleven o'clock, an order issued front the court room, not to distribute the business paper of the dm% This was significant, and in a few minutes, Mr. Wooliyai the secretary, announced that a court had n. t been mole, that there were only four commissiomn present (nnoliq them), and that they had adjourned until Wednesday weft at the same hour. It is stated that this extraordinary proceeding well demon to abolish the commission than anything that has hither.° occurred. HER MAJESTY AT BALMORAL—There car bete doubt that the partiality which bath the Queen and Pries Albert have displayed for Balmoral, is attei.mtable 9 . 0 merely to the striking beauty of its scenery, its fine ears and its sporting fucilities, but in a great measure, sit to the manner in which last year the wish • the royal party for privacy was respected by the r• and the public. Apart, therefore, from the dtel•l • of good taste and prsper feeling, every person who dea n s the regular recurrence of the Qu, en's visit, has the otreno motive for abstaining from all unnecessary prying into U. royal movements, or intrusion on the grounds anderslo where her Majesty and suite are accustom. el to take that recreation. The curiosity of the eneral public is not al ta r temyercd by discretion and corre ct feeling; but much! b 3 done to prevent it horn causing annoyance, by 81.0 effort in the way of example as well as precept, 00 P r i gt of influential residents and visitors, and, more partial' .1! by a becoming abstinence from silly gossip on the pat of t• press. It is highly gt atitying to know that tho egoi s t:. have repeatedly stated their extreme saiiefaaion wt general conduct in this respect last year, and we trust It; will be no occasion for a different expression on the Prow' occasion.—Aberdeen Herald.
