Tus leading munfaeturers and merchants of Manchester are (Msg. as we said on Friday, to hold a conferees" at which their representatives are ex pected to attend, on the subject of India—more par ticularly is connexion with the production of mum for exportation and on the ceases of the disappointed expectation as to its increase, which were formed there some yeses ago. Hitherto considerable reliance bas bees pieced in that city on the exertions made by the Bast India Company and by the Indian govern ment to improve and extend its cultivation in their territories. But as, substantially, those exertion., whatever they may have been, have proved fruitless, there is agrowing dipped :tson in Manchester to with draw the reliance so placed ; to trust lees to intercourse with and to the interference of the Director', and to examine for themselves the reasons why the supply of cotton heat India is so precarious and iergniticant. This disposition is an encouraging symptom ; for it is unworthy of our great manufacturers to be ehillyehallying wi:h • government which, ob viously, is either ignorant of the means to achieve the end it proton**s to have in view, or, worse still, know ing the means, is indisposed, or afraid, to use them. The dependence of this great manufacturing country on any one nation, bat more particularly on a nation aiming, as MEMIDITIes Report to Congress shows the United State-do, at manufacturing rivalry, for the "apply of the raw material of its staple product is a very serious consideration. Such depend ence is intimately coenicted with the material prosperity, the Hernial tranquillity, aid eves the financial solvency of the kingdom. Ths great seats of our cotton manufactures are inhabited by nearly four millions of people; the bulk of whom rely, more or less, on the cotton trade for main tritium, and subsistence. The declared value of all our exports for 1849 was 54,000,800 i.. and of th at great sum no less than nearly 25,000,0001. repre sented cotton fabrics and yarns; leaving only 29,000,000!., or little more than one-half, for the value of all our other exports. As it is by means of exports that we are enabled to impoit, and as the duties derived from imports in 1549 reached 18,895,0001.; it is, probably, t o exeggeretior to say twit for 8,000,000/. of that amount, the trea sury is directly indebted to the expo.tation of cottons and yarns ; and in a similar degree is the 'zoo enriched by the cotton trade. From tneee figures may, then, be learnt how deep an interest this country has in elite edieg the *runes whence 1 its supplies of the raw material, `cotton, are obtained ; with what painful anxiety all rational men annual!, took to the cot on crop of the Uni:ed Sates; and hoar etbstantial a benefit India would oozfer on England wire it to mitigate our dependence on America. At present any sensible variation in the pri-e of American cotton at cts the happiness or discomf,rt of millions of our woikicg ; and if that pri,A, rise greatly, its increase places in jeopardy the tranquillity of the most energetic and inflammable por. tons of our population, and, by diminishing their meths of cousamption, and reducing the g. neral ability of the c intry to export, it hazards the revenue. The Indian cotton question is, there fore, for England a great internal, as well as a great external, question ; it connects the safety of Eng lithd with the improvement of India. High motives these for examining it with stern impartiality and with the utmost indifference as to the effect our con clusions may have on the existing frame-work of our I Indian government ; for the matter really at issue is, not the reputation of Leadeehall-street, but the well being of England and of India. It anyone ever entertained noubts that the highest interests of England are involved in this ques tion, the report of Mr. MEREDITH, the American Fecretary of the Treasury, will dispel them. For taus he urges his countrymen to manufacture them selves the cotton they grow : If we sow omen cotton of the value of about 66,000,000, the same cotton, when converted into elofh, would Dicke an export at some 264,000.000, or some 245,000,000 atter des ducting the 15,000,000 or 20,0,0,000 which woui4 be n. quired for our home risvuniption (in addition to the p irtion of oar {-resent manufactures consumed at home), ante our im ports would he thereby in Ilk, manner increased. England, at this moment, derives a large portion of her power from spinning sad weaving our cotton. When we shall .pin and wee,' it ourselves, nabs our own iron, and manuiactare oar other staples, we shall have transferred to this country . the great metros of wealth. commerce, civilisation, and political as well as moral anal intellectual power. The growth of Indian cotton is, therefore, a ques tion of self-defense and self-preservation for England. Atte- this warning, to remain willingly dependent on the United States is a suicidal policy. Bat indep'ndenoe is not to be achieved by foolishly turning to the aid Gl' hapf civilised negroes of Guinea ; it is to be found only by doing justice and pursuing righteousness to the ryots of India. It is undeniable that vast tracts of country in India am excellently adapted to the cultivation of the cot ton plant ; that the climate is generally suitable to its growth; that the pint itself is indigenous to the country ; that it was formerly cultivated to a very large, and is still grown to a considerable extent for internal consumption; that the population of India in these districts is teeming, civilised, and in &latrines ; and that, though somewhat prejudiced and suspicious, it is eminently teachable and accessible to all those influences that elsewhere follow profitable industry. "The common people of India," writes one of the American cotton planters, sentoat by the East India Company, from whose journal we shall have occasion to quote largely , "if properly taught must be the re gtnerators of India ; that is, the low cute people." Writing from the ootton country of the north-western provisos, he says: Time is mach to be dose to reader this lamas. tract of really benstiful country a bison's/ to the people and profit able so the owner: of et was in efnerion it would 80074 be a ease ifold et luxuriant cultivation. Ards — To redeem this tract would be a gigantic undertaking; bee erg was in Aatrrico, tasked of Adis, a fine yea,s meld ses rho plotegA us Mt Wok of re. How is it, then, that India, with a suitable soil, vetl o nt o j enial climate, with an industrious people to the culture, cannot export cot ton In any considerable quantities? With every lateral and every human advantage, why is it that laths allows as to be depen dent on America P For the last ten years the East India Company his been professing to encourage the growl of the pleat for exportation—now sending out American planters, then exporting the most perfect machinery; sow procuring the finest seed, then estab lishing experimental plantations ; yet the end of all these offsets would have been the total abandon ment of its experiments and interference the other day, but for fear of Manchester. Nor do we know that the abandonment would have been a matter of regret; foe in these experiments, and in the encouragement they have professed to give to cotton cultivation, the Indian government appears to have tried every means, ears and except those likely to be successful. Cotten cultivation, to be extended in India, must be profitable to the cultivator ; and this is exactly what the Indian government has never attempted to make it. More than a half century ago, Mr. Baas, the Commercial Resident of Dacca, then the seat of • cotton manufacture which has long since disappeared, thus recorded his experience for the benefit of the East India Company, of which he wee subsequently himself a direetor : The gala of rearing cotton Is about sallisiont to allow a bus subsistence to tae husbandman, and set more. In feet, he has ao inducement to attempt to get more, for the Zunisear would probably sunlit from his.

THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 15, nso. Since Mr. Bass's time the bad revenue bee, it is true, been settled - in Bengal Oa terms, however, so high as to beggar the cultintor. Bat in Bombay and Maness the aseeesrasnt is stall "partial and uncertain ;•' and of the latter presidency Dr. WIGIIT, the super intendent of the comps" s experimental ' farm at Coimbatoor, when exposing its uncertainty and par tiality, remarks : So nigh rate a nesesement mot, ia the asters of things, lead to immense tree= of land being allowed to lie tweets, which, if mom znedirately assessed, would be brought coder saltivatioe. The want of profit in the cultivation of cotton in the Agra presidency struck Mr. Firms, the American planter before referred to. In his diary he writes : To advance agriculture here, we must let the people akar* largely in the profits. Make it their interest and they will do say thing. • • I would appeal to the common ems of the isemennity„ and particularly to the rulers of the law, mad oak why a jadicimis system, pereeveriagly pursued, will not ensure the production of this met eommercial article la any quantities. lem convinced of the practicability of the undertaklag. This thought, indeed, seems to have pursued the worthy Yankee wherever he went: for again and again De writes in a similar strain : Inspire the people of this omen, with the love of @grind tarsi impeovements, and let cation and other important plants take deep root in their affections, and its wealth Ititt he sabetuaded. It will not only be =wine the land brood eat with gold ; het it will spring • nine of solid gold as in esbse es mature itself. There is in India every natural element for the profitable cultivation of cotton — cheap labour, prolific soil, and a congenial climate. The cotton districts, too, in Bombay and Madras fringe the coasts of those pre sidencies; and in Agra they are contiguous to the Ganges and the Jamas. Improved roads to the places of shipment would, of course, be beneficial; bat needful as these artificial elem*nts of profit are, they are not the elements most needful. Why, then, has the cultivation of cotton in India become nniver. sally unprofitable? Why cannot India compete with the - United States in the markets of London, Liver pool, and Glasgow ? There may, in some districts, be spesial reasons. Thus, for example, Dr. Winne tells as there are such reasons in Madras. The coast lands of that presidency are peculiarly adapted to cot ton cultivation, and are unsuitable to the pro du:tioa of grain. Yet cotton is not cultivated there, , and the growth of grain is there Urrocd, because the Indian government will not allow t he people of Madras to exchange their sterile, salt, for the staple of the people of Bengal, which is grain. And thus, under the pretence of revenue. the cotton lands of Madras are compAled to produce inadequate supplies of grain, and the people of Bengal are obl ig ed to con s same, scantily, an inferior, filthy, and high priced salt. I But this is a canoe applicable only to the cotton distticts of Madras. The general reason for the want of profit in the cultivation of cotton is, that I practically the assessment of land throughout India, t is destructive of profit: and this we undertake here . after to show. Bosse ET imagisted that he had put a (samples trine,ulsher on protestantisra by writing a book, whit h satisfactoray proved that protestant a differed. The Quarterly Iter;ene demolishes political economy and :roe trade with an equally sweeping and effective -.troke, by proving that their doctors differ. Aft. r the lapse of three quarters of a century, the followers of ADAM SMITH would modify some, not of his prin. cplre, bat their corollaries. Ergo, with the reviewer, noliiesl economy is no science. LAPLACZ followed NINTON, and eorreeed some of his details; ergo, would say the Quarterly, astronomy is no science. Tiie Quarterly Review, the Morning Post, and the learned serjeaut who has published his notes on the protectionists brief, have all got astride of a sayir gof ADAM Slum's, that foreign trade was not good as home trade, bec..nee the latter rerlaced two English capitals, the former bat 0 , .e. The truth is, that there are generally three capitals at work, two prorluci:4 the distinct articles to be exchanged, at.d a third engaged in effecting that interchange, with the aavances and the transport. Each of the twn capitals first mentioned replace themselves, but as they are to, retnnte to barter, the third, or trade capital, is required to go between them. New, 1. these cspitals be all employed for home consumption, they give rise to aright accumulation of washi.. They keep certain numbers employed, give a certain additional value to the raw material that is manufactured ; but any gain, above that which is neciessiery to replue capital employed, is taken from tee pocketof one Englishman to put into that of another. If the agricultural interest cm get during . one year more for its produce in home coostunpron : or if another year the manufacturers of clothing supply the home market, at a (to them) mere lucrative price, on either side there are riches and profit, but it is a profit carved out of English neeessities. In foreign intercharge it is far different. ' fume every profit is added to the stoek of Er.glish wealth, and the commercial capital that is employed in bringing about the interchange is, at least one halt of it, replaced at the expense of the foreigner. But foreign trade is far more useful than this. From it alone can that excitement come and that impulse be given to manufactures which make their progress. And it is by foreign trade alone that nations have been able to take in a few years those strides, which otherwise would require centuries to I sompass. Dees it not appear to have been very hard on the first spinners and weavers of English wool, that their wool, by being exported, should have been raised in price, and by being manufactured in Flanders, and re-imported, should give the English landlords and the foreign weavers, increased profit to the detriment of the English artisan class? But the wealth which thus accrued to the agriculturists and the competition which operated on the artisan, soon brought the ma nufacture back to En gland, and enriched both. Of late years, it is not the agriculturist, but the manufacturer, that has been enriched by exportation, and the riches thus amused from the foreigner have overflowed from the commercial and manufacturing upon the landed interest, creating a demand for its produce, supplying it with capital, opening paths to industry, rimins . the labour market, and lest, though not least, racing rents. The fact is, that but for foreign, or for free trade, I I breaking is now upon the agriculturist, now upon the manufacturer, arousing both to fresh exertions, the two classes of producers, those of agriculturist and non-agriculturist values, would but alternately de vour and pamper each other, and put their sloth and self in the way of each other's prosperity, comfort, and abundance, and to the complete preven tion of any wealth being accumulated or perfection attained. There have been statesmen and countries, France for example, that have gone upon the system of cherishing exclusively a home trade. The result was, that there was no means of, or incite ment to, amassing capital; that the little capital which did exist lay dormant, and was frittered away in trifling luxury, and absorbed by mortgagee.; that every article was rare, dear, and Imperfect, agriculture on the one side, and manufac tures on the other. The preference of home trade to foreign, on the pretence that the former employs two capitals for the other's one, is about the most mon strous contradiction of truth that was ever made. Whilst the home trade would peddle on with scarcely l an addition to capital, the foreign trade not only mul tiplies production for itself, bas. literally compels a hundrel fold production for home. Foreign trade creates not two capitals but a hundred capitals for the one which the home trade would vegetate on. A more gluing and absurd sophism, if possible, is to make profits unite and multiply them by quick returns of trade. We suppose that on all capital employed, the interest or the profit are measured by time well as quantity. If the interchange be accom plished in a mouth , the interest or pro fi t is no doubt calculated by the month. The ides, that in every monthly turning of capital on a home trade, the same per ceetue is kaund as on a year of distant trade, is an economical sophism that surely none save a merjeasit at-law could be guilty of. The greatest gains in trade are those founded on the peperior intelli g ence and calculation of the mer- Ghent, who can direct the operations of distant int. r change. It ie buying in one cluntry or quarter of the world, and wiling in gaoler, winch requires fore sight and sagacity, and which in consequence opens the greatest chance for gain. England is and has been the land of the great merchant, as Vienna and Holland were. What the pro tectionists desire is to convert us into a nation of pedlars. By following their injunctions we should oat attain even the poor doveieprnent of Francis ler Austria, for these countries have really regions at holm with different climes end products, calculated to furnish materiel for a stirring home trade. But whet Bagladd without expert and hapset P Hew are hoe wishes to aremmolaterr where her revenue to ootne *em P The .home trade would not pay the intereat of the rational debt. And it is no-sines to talk of foreign trade, postponed and subjected to the home trade. Youmans% bind th e one without the other feeling the ligatured the cramp. And uto the idea of distinpuslug edpitals em ployed in either, and favosnog one more than the other, it is just as feasible and as wise, as to bank out the sea at the month of the Theme", in order that the dwellers on its banks may have more use and enjoy ment of scalmsr expense of river water.

PRAGUE, law. 6. One bears a great deal in the paper' about the , hatred existing between the Czechs and German& I I am incliued to believe that this hostile feeling is at present confined to a very small, although the most important, part of the population. The educated Czech feels towards the German that aversion with which a vigorous nature, conscious of its capacity and right& regards the usurper of those r:ghts. His mother toilette is not the language of the law, nor of the provincial diet, nor of the munie'pal assemblies, nor of the univ. raid= nor of any branch of the imperial administration. A Catch receives his sentence from a ttibanal, or has his cause in vestigated, in a language foreign to him; the most enlightened men of kis nation have to stand up not only in the imperial, but also in the provincial parliament. and argue the national cause in a strange tongue against entagnoirn who are perfect masters of that tongue, pouring their ardeut Czechism into obstructed moulds, where it be comes disfigured with sobeions. The German burgesses is the communes are armed with the same tyrannous privi:ege. But what mare ineidims than that any branch of knowledge should be denied its Czech interpreter, and that GAfOrll2 should elbow, like a bullying elder brotner, ticlevotio out of the gymnasis. Lastly, the selection of nine-tenths of the empkvef a from the German minority would vex the patience of tetra far less irriteble than tie St lavouian. It is true, that after the revolutionary days of March the imperial government became pledged to mitigate these grievances. The principl of gleicu-bereehtigung, or equality of rights between German and Czech as, admitted,but in terms so general end evasive, teat ail particular applicatiens of the pv it. ci• -To become subject to endless dispute.

Nothing is heard of the new constitutions; not a word is breathed about the Landta.ta or the It lehs act ; and not a syllebie is uttered by the miteete-s in explode tion of their illegal delay Mese obi e all le what they call pr evisenal, which Tn. mesa magnatioo under state of siege. The question of wletner Cz •chino or German will be spoken in the Lsootteg dine:mean , bt fre the more fundamental one o' wnet her there will be any Landing at all. Speculation ceases te scan the pletical hofzon, for a dead wall rises on ale sides shutting out hope. Petacky rise- a eve ment from his study-chair, and flings hie federal letter upon the stagnant public: Ore is a momentary fermentation, cud much 1 issing au. screaming *mom; German jeuri alio: s. The stud. v.l disdains answer, and shutting his window conooeeedly against the uproar, resumes his hiWory of the 11.1- etre war. " How awkward and ill im d this the evrieg down the gauntlet of Csechism!" exclaims ore " Palaeky has shut the don • or effice uu 1411IM It for ten years to come at least," prophecies another shrug ging his shoulders. But the eyes w- ieh read history are root more bleared than these which pore usCI gazettes; and the Cz ch statesmen, it may be modest le believed, knows what he is ab .ut Nothil g, in free could be more opportune as well as braver then to .4 forth publicly the claims of tie cottetrymen at a me. meet when the ministers were vele tly plotting the defeat and withholding the real-at:on of those claims. Pelacky's scheme, poll pe, is not faultless ; but if it e• es on tee ade of ultra-Czeehism, and states the maximum cf what his putty requires, it meat he remembered that no man eter drove a good bsrgein, particularly with a Jew, who began with asking a minimum. In aim ing, allowance must be made far the dip: to hit emancipation, O'Connell levelled at reveal. The question which the Selavonian party really have most at heart is, supposing the Landtag met, whether the language of the debates is to be German or Czechish. Were this question once decided in their favour, 1 believe the wisest members of the Czech party would be satisfied. It would be equivalent to a re-ogniti of their nationality, which has remained ignored from the day when the Bohemian rebellion wan crushed in the battle on the Weimenberg yonder, in 1620, until March, 1848. This vantage-ground once conquered, the political influence of the Czechs would gradually biome commensurate with their numbers. On the other hand, if German is to be the langu tge of the Landtag, the petty concessions of publishing ordi nances in the Prager-Zeitung in Czech u well es Ger man, of allowing Czech to be taught in the schools of primary instruction, of estrAishing Czech professor ships in certain branches of science, and even the were important boon of permitting trials to be con ducted in Czechish, will be counted as nothing. The Deutechen-Hass, the hatred of Germane, will grow daily wider and mote intense ; it will gain those closes which at present know no each sentiment ; it will be bitterer in the party leaders. I have said that hosti lity to the Germans is as yet confined to a small class. The Czech nobles have long ceased to be Czech in aught but origin. The Schlicks, Kinskys, Cern- Gallsees, nun', and Lobkowitzes, speak the language of the court, and enjoy its fa vour. Before all such are imperialists ; with, the national politics they have nothing te do. On the other hand the Sclavonian peas intry Imo generally as indifferent to the question of nation , silty as the nobles. They have lived in perfect quiet silt as with the German peasantry as long as they can remember. They say " the newspapers I have invented this German-hate ; for we know it not : it exists only at Prague among students and editors." But column after column role on into the Are : the national rivality, which glows red-hot in the learned and professional clam, will gradually warm the torpid and ignorant. The Czech pea sant is .now at peace with his German neighbour, because both have grown up together eqn Illy oppressed and abrutesed ; and the great emus pawn from the robot or feudal service was bestowed upon both together. But in propor tion u he reaps the benefit of his emanci pation in the shape of more instruction and an enlarged sphere of action, acd grows into apprehen d= of the privileges enjoyed by the German, and how these affect his own interests, he will clearly se mums an attitude less and less pacific towards his German neighbour, and find out that there is en= more genuine cause for his animosity then the insti gation of mischievous contributors to the daily prem. Meanwhile the ardent apostles of Cz chism have a heavy task on their hands ; the moral population is polittcelly for :d in the extreme; and to overcome the Mention of those boorish masses will require the longaction of a much greater moral steam power than is at present available. To speak more simply, I find in Bohemia few materials for a strong opposi tion to the government much few' r than the democratic party at Vienna have any no tion of. The bourgeoisie is in general more anti-revolutionary than any other class; although, perhaps, they feel more than auy o her the evils of the present misgovernment. The monetary crisis greatly abridges their trade ; fur upon all articles affected by importation they raise the price precisely ie proportion to the silver &lei& To-day, for instance, I bought a book. The price, under ordinary eircum 'dances au one forth and a half, but I was obliged to pay one florin and forty kreusers; tee kreuzers were added because the book came from Leipsic, to balance the lose on the exchange, which is rather .._eseles Una 11 per cent. The bookseller told me that lib itelmim, however, was diminished in a much gesallesido. Few would buy a foreign work; they Weu'udfing till the exchange should fall. The nee it aim and sugar is abridged in all families, and in some abolished from the same cause. This is more sen sible in Germany than it would be in a country where habits of economy are leas strictly carried out. A German housekeeper calculates with microscopic nicety ; so much so, that an unexpected guest at the dinner-table would fare bat ill, or cause much em barrassment. But the burgess, although galled, dreads revolution still more than misgovernment, be cause he believes the former would maks financial matters still worse. Then, again, this clam in Bo hemia is mostly German, and therefore proportionally exempt from the revolutionary suggestions of an op pressed nationality. As an example of the smell progress which Czechism has ss yet made, it you ask a Czech burgeon or peasant of what nation be is, be will antiwar " Bohemian ;" and then yon must in quire "German-Bohemian or Czech-Bohemian f" before he will specify his Sclavonian origin. Were you to put the same question to a Czech advocate, surgeon, scholar, or student, be would answer directly, " I am Czech," with an air that would let you know he was not a little proud of that die- tinction. The lyrical pieces of the Czech minnesinger, bring tones out of the 12th century. The mast famous of these were recently discovered, like Row ley's MSS., in a worm-eaten chest in the tower of an old church at Kfiniginhof ; and one would fancy that Chntterton had taken the parchment u a model for his blotted scrolls. While lam on this subject I mast not forget to say that an English lady figured, tTo centuries and a half ago, among the most tilos bijou contributors to Czech literature. I am not aware that this interesting fact has been announced in any English work. I lit on the discovery myself by mere chalice. On the north side of the cloister of St. Thomas, in the Kleinseite, a tombstone of red marble is let into the pavement, which bears the date of 1612, with the fallowing epitaph : D. O. Id. B. B.

Tee labourer was °Weed to give hie .ord three days out of the week gratis; and top farmer to furnish the same lord with horses three days out of the we rk gratis. The labourer pays for his eman cipation from this burthen two kreutzers, less than a penny per day, by way of ceinpeesation ; immense relief cheaply purchased. But his work will be worth three times as much as before, when the sweat of his brow earned him no bread. Curiously enough many of the names of the im perialist commanders in the Hungarian war figure among the foremost in Bohemian history, but not always on the imperial side. An ancestor of Couht Schlick was the first of the Bohemian magnates to perish on the scaffold erect d in front of the Town hall, at Prusue, on the suppression of the rebellion by the battle of the Weimenberg in 1620. An ancestor of General Clam-Gallas was appointed to sum. ed Wallenstein in his command when the Duke of Fried land was murdered at Eger. A collateral branch of the Wallenatein or %Feldstein family still inhabits partially the palace built by the Bohemian Lucullus, in the Kleinseite. The habitable portion of this vast mansion is reduced to a few rooms over what once formed the splendid range of stab:es where 300 horses fed from marble maws. The astrological cabinet is nailed up. The great hall, of whose decorations only the ceiling fresco remains, where Wallenstein appears in full armour with a star above his forehead, driving the horses of the Sun, is now used for concerts and flower shows, and hung with little trumpery red land white flags. Immediately after the murder of the feunder the whole place was completely gutted (even the marble stairs were torn away), and turned into a bare ick. Much of the enormous landed posses sions of Wallenatein confiscated to the imperial fire were bestowed upon Clam-Gallas. With the present General Clam the male branch of that family (I believe one of the many Italians whose names figure in the Thirty Years' War) will become extinct ; and the little which yet remains of the Wallenetein estates diverted into this line will pass ire° the possession of the Countess of Dictate, General Clam's sister. The Waldateins even to this day curse their feudal grudge against the Clam- Gallases ; although Count Weldstein has so little of the pride of his great relative, that he disdains not to draw the greater part of his revenues from a sugar refinery which he has established at Dux, near TOplitz. I believe that the lawsuit instituted soon after the death of the Duke of Friedland by his nearest relatives, to recover the Wallenstein property from the imperial crown, is going on to this day. The grandmo•her of Prince Windischgratz was a Wahl dein. In 1832 the Prince brought an action against the crown to recover the manor of Tachau, one of the Wallenstein estates, which would, it seems, some how have come into hie grandmother's possession. About 5 years ago this suit was decided against him. The plea put in by their lawyer was that the treason of Wallenstein had never been proved, and therefore the confiscation of his property was illegal. The Emperor Ferdinand had no sooner gained the cause than he good-naturedly bestowed, of his own free will, the disputed possession on the litigant. For tunately for Windischgratz, the gift was not greatly imaaired by costs, as the law-fees of Prague axe quite on another scale from those of Westminster, and a Chancery suit of 13 years in Austria costs compara tively but a trifle. It was to this demesne of Tachau that Windischgratz betook himself, when he was hurled from an eminence as lofty as that which lied been lest by Wallenstein himself.

THE RUSSIAN LOAN.-MEETING OF THE PEACE SOCIETY. 103, Westboura►tsersee, bleuday Eraaing, Jas. 14. MT DM Sfa,—Another outrage is to be offered to the moral sense of the civilised world. It is raid that a Russian loan is to be raised in the City of London. The Cossack hordes have fulfilled their mission in Hungary : witness her wasted fields, her smoking villages, and her scaffold■ flowing with the blood of her noblest patriots; and now the savage instruments of all this devastation and slaughter are clamorous for their wages. Englishmen—aye, the capitalists of London —are, it seems, to furnish the blood-money! If so, for the credit of the age and the character of our Christian country, let an indignant protest be heard in reproba tion of this unholy and infamous transaction. The Peace Congress Committee, to whom was entrusted the carrying out of the reso:ution. passed at Paris, condemnatory of these loans, will, I hope, call a public meeting in the City, at which I will most gladly attend. Let it be at the earliest possible moment — Friday or Saturday, at the latest. And believe me, faithfully yours, RICHD. COBDEN. Rev. Henry Richard, Secretary, Peace Congress Committee. [An official ratement of Hits amount, terms, and conditioLs of this loan will we found under the head of " Money Market."—ED.] COLONIAL. WEST INDIES. JAMAICA, Dec. 4. I think matters are a little improving here—at least least the price of coffee is on the rise ; but then we have thrown nearly all tho coffee up, some entire properties having been abandoned. But the state of actual destitution in which we have all been is not half b,beved or understood in England. One bad iffect of the long drought has been that it tempted many to steal; and now that the necessity, so to speak, of stealing to prevent starving has ceased, the habit with many continues nevertheless. In all moral things the negroes are going back, and as they become poorer, gradually lapse into their original state of barbarism. One instance will suffice to show the desperate state of depression into which this island has fallen : There is a property containing 8,000 acres, twenty miles from the coast, to which a moat costly road has been made. It grows sugar, coffee, ginger, and every produce we him, posstsers a beau:Mil climate, has dwellings, out-houses, work.. tank., az.d ponds on it, and this can bo bough: fat 4001. lam not mire that 3001. down would not secure it.

The returns of the cu,tome receipts at the port of Havre during the peat year, as compsred wbh 1848, are vriy 'avowable, and are suaienily inoicative of the inereued ds pee of commercial activity which prevailed during the yi•Ar. The import duties received in 1849 amounted to 28,113,415 f , stainst 18,914,8411. in 1848. The export dries wire 145,9045., attains , 208.745 f. in 1848. The TlSTiga , ioll dues are returned at 886,201 r., against 768,6681. in 1848. On adding the other minor duties levied at the port, we find that the total receipts of the year were 29.243,9561., @pipet 20,081,8431. in 1848, showing a difference in favour of 1849 of no less than 9,162,113 t. Thera was an increase of 187,9231. in the amount of bounties, or " drawbacks," paid during last year, the payments in 1848 amounting to 102.984 f., and in 849 to 290,9071 Of cotton, the arrivals at Mauls during the year 1849 in creased cassiderably, amounting to 367.173 bales, against 237,935 bales arrived in 1848, and 267,500 in 18.7. The quantity token for consumption and export also presents a large increase, being 348.178 bales, against 260,435 bales in 1818, sod 251,600 in 1847. The stock on the 31st ult. was 38,000 bales, against 19,000 at same date of 1848, and 41,•500 in 1847.

The quantity taken for e.r sumptior, Ite., amounted to 25,325,650 4 kilos. In 1849, against 19,562,210 in 1848, and 24,523,000 in 1847. The stock on the 31st ult. was larger than at the same period of the two preceding years, being 5,613,840 e kilos. against 5,135.300 is 1848, and 4,002,000 in 1847. Of raw sugar from Martinique and Guadaloupe the arrivals in port during 1849 were 36,4..0 hhds., ►gainst 33,065 in 1848, and 67,8.50 in 1847. The quantity taken (or export and consumption was 41.720 hhds. in 1849, against 29,065 in 1848, and 63,350 in 1847.

CHARGE OF BILL STEALING FROM AN UNDER CRAM:ATI AT CAWIRIDOII.—.YettErdA, a cos. was heard at the Cambridge police eoun. Henry alias " Bally" Cornwell was charged with stealing a bill of exchange for 121. 10s., the property of Mr. Charles Heath, an undergraduate of Emmanuel College. The evidence, which was somewhat lengthy, went to show that on Monday the 7th of J musty the prosecutor, with some of his familiars, were at a noto rious house known as " Brooks's," or "The Thatched Cot tage," in Barnwell, and that the prisoner was also th-re. The latter entered into conversation with Heath, — and asked him whether he wanted to borrow 51. or 101. 11..ith wavered, hesitated, and declined, but finally agreed to meet the prisoner at the ume place, and afterwards at " The Fountain," • public house In 13t. Andrew's-street, to talk the matter over. To " The Fountain " the prosecutor was accompanied by two other undergraduates, and it was agreed that 101. should be advanced by the prisoner to the pro neuter, upon the hater's giving him as security a bill at three months, for 121. 10s. A second arrangement was also made with another undergraduate for an advance on the same terms, and the prisoner went out and returned with the bills ready drawn. Heath read the one given him to sign, and found that it wrs drawn at two instead of three mouths. A more cautious friend who was with the prosecutor advieti him not to sign the bill till he got the money, sr at any rate to have 101. 10s. as conside retion if the bill was allowed to stand at two months. This Cornwell agreed to, and the bills being signed, be took them away to get " his friend " to discount them, saying the acceptors would not be called on under three months. lie made an appointment to band the money over that evening but failed, and after sundry evasions, pulled out come oats, and said it was very difficult to obtain money, so he had tak. n s , me mooey and some oats for the bill. There was a good deal of laughter in court while the prosecutor was g ving lass evidence which was h.ert ant d by a suggestion that there was probably some " chaf f ' with the note. Prosecutor said he did not know how that might he, but he knew he had had plenty of " chaff " since Is answer to the prisoner's attorney, the prosecutor said the oats could not be for his " pony at Brooke's," as he did not keep one there. He did not lodge there, and declined to answer a further question in reference thereto. It further appeared that Cornwell had piped the bill wilt another to Mr. Francis Haden, a brewer, in par omit of an account be owed him for beer, which he is in the habit of selling in booths, at fairs, ike. For neither of the two bills then obteined had the prisoner given one penny consideration. After hearing legal gen tlemen on both sides the bench decided that the property in is bill is vested in the drawer, so long as it is is his posses- , -ion, and that the charge of felony could not be sustained, the ease was consequently dismissed. There was a similar charge against the prisoner at the instance of Mr. William Cavendish Uurrell, also an undergraduate, but this was withdrawn on the understanding that an indictment will be pursued at the anises f a obtaining the securities under false pretenses. The prisoner was then discharged. rte Court, WINDSOR, JAM. 14. The Queen, with their Royal Highnesses the Prin cess Itoyal and Princess Alice, cross to Frogmore this morn Ma. Hi.
