Ir is not often that we And ourselves able to advocate Sir CsiRLEe WOOD'S Indian measures ; bet we sinearely hope the /louse of Commons will support him just now in upholding the policy traced out in his despatch of the Bth inst., concern ing the cultivation of Indigo, and the relations of the Planters and Hyots. Fur many years the Planters have been carrying on their business relying on • system as rotten as that of an Irish landlord of the olden time, with an estate covered with conacre tenants, a system of unequal contracts, voluntary it may be in their small beginnings,bert impossible of fulfilment by the weaker party, and ever tending to his ruin. The two cases have this in common, that both landlord and planter were encouraged to persist in • system which everybody saw must break down, by the belief that in the worst case the law would prove • reliable engine to enforce their claims. In this country, whore all the mutual relations of the active classes of society are ever tending to take the form of mere contracts for the exchange of services or com modities for money, we allow enormous power to creditors, as our county courts and the prisons which receive their victims bear wit ness. Yet even an unreformed parliament would make haste to relax the severity of the law if it appeared that the industrious population of a whole district were menaced with imprisonment by the tallymen. The circumstances under which indigo has hitherto been cultivated in Bengal were placed before the House of Commons last night by Mr. Layean, upon the authority of published evidence, and we strew* recommend our readers to conquer the repugnance with which Indian topics are too generally regarded, and to read his speech. The hon. gentleman said that the cultivation of indigo was worked upon a system of advances. Many of these advances were made several years ago, during the lives of the grandfathers of the present ryuta, very few having been made of late years. The result of this system is to cause the ryot to become a mere slave, attached to the soil, and completely at the mercy of the planter, and the system of lawlessness which had resulted, had never been equalled in any civilized country in the world. The planters want a law made at Calcutta which will enable them to treat as ai spinals and visit with three menthe' imprisonment those ryots who fail to keep the contracts formed under this tremendous pressure. Apart from all those circumstances in the evidence given before the Indigo Commission which are so well calculated to arouse indignation, the fact is we cannot afford to practise upon the population of any part of India the severity which the plantets invoke. This is to some extent • British taxpayer's question. The quietest population in the world may be goaded into rebellion by an attempt to employ our political superiority oppressively for the peculiar commercial and social advantage of our countrymen who go to India to trade. Moreover it is not necessary. In the despatch already referred to, Sir CHARLES WOOD says :—" There is evidence on record, given by " men of intelligence and experience, to show " that, if fairly treated, the ryot will readily ac: "up to his agreement, and that, in regard to " indigo, it is the unpro6tableness of the contract " which has led to evasion on the part of the " ryot." The whole of the despatch abounds with sound reasoning. The true remedy fur the mis chief, Sir CHAILLZI Woos observes in another place, "is not to be found in • resort to legisla " tire measures, which, by making the ryot " criminally punishable for the breach of a civil " contract, may operate unfairly towards any " other creditors who may have claims upon him. " It is rather to be found in dealing fairly by " his, and in making him feel that a violation or " evasion of his contract will involve the loss " of what is advantageous to himself." TN' attendance of the Tiverton Volunteers at Lord l'Auearorrox's re-election was an occurrence to which no one can desire to attach exaggerated importance. It originated in the best feeling ;it was simply a compliment, one not too high to be paid to a veteran statesman, and was accepted as simply as it was offered. Nevertheless, General Pam. did right to mention it in the House of Com mons last night, in order that it may not become a misleading example. What volunteers may do in Tiverton they may do in London, and petting aside the extreme case supposed by General Psict, that of a colonel becoming a can. didate for the suffrages of the fathers and brothers of his own men, perhaps of the men themselves— it is plainly not desirable that candidates should be escorted to the hustings of Marylebone or Lambeth by partisans in grey or green. This is just one of those matters which Lord PALIIIM nox's good sense was sure to put right ; and • circular from the War-office will inform command- Mg °Moms of volunteer corps of their duty in respect of political alesiins.

The Monittur of to-day says :—"Frince Napo leon wrote to the Emperor requesting him not to order proceedings to be instituted in the affair of the pamphlet entitled, ' A Letter on the History of France.' It did not, however, appear possible to accede to the wishes of the prince, and to inter rupt the course at justice." THE ITALIAN CHAMBER. TURIN, FRIDAY &IMMO. In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, Liborio Romano defended the conduct of the Nea politan army. General Bixio declared that as the chamber favourably received the speech which he pro nounced yesterday in reference to the southern army, the Garibaldian officers of superior rank, and those who were deputiea,resigned their military titles. General Bixio proposed an order of the day, insisting upon the forts being armed, even if they should be occupied by the national guard. He said :—" The army should speedily number 300,000 men, and the parliament should vote all the necessary supplies." He concluded as follows • " When we have obtained such an army we shall be able to resist everybody." Garibaldi proposed another order of the day, drawn tip in the following manner :—" The cham ber expresses its gratitude to the Garibaldian officers who were appointed by decree of the Dictator, and although it leaves the ministry at liberty to organise volunteer corps, and to call them out at opportune times, requests the ministry to re-construct and maintain the southern army." Signor Cugia supported the d ecree ordering the formation of three divisions of volunteers, and op posed the proposition of Garibaldi. On quitting the hall with the deputies, Count Cavour was cheered by an immense concourse of people. A similar demonstration was afterwards made in honour of Garibaldi. These manifesta tions were expressive of the desire of the people for a reconciliation between Garibaldi and Cavour. TURIN, Ana 20.

Troops have been despatched to dispossess them of the town of Meleni. NAPLES, Aram 18. An attempt at reaction has broken out in Cala bria, whither troops have been despatched. TURIN, Aram 19. The rumours of the resignation of Count Csvour are without any foundation. The result of yester day's debate and the attitude of the Chamber of Deputies are, on the whole, considered favourable to the government. All parties applaud the words of concord which were uttered by Count Cavour and General Birk). Garibaldi has declared himself satisfied. The excitement has abated. The Official Gazette of to-day, in its summary of news, states that brigandage exists In the Neapoli tan provinces, but is everywhere being suppressed. It expresses a hope that order will soon be esta blished everywhere. POLAND. BRESLAU, Aran.l9. According to Melees from Warsaw to the 17th inst. the state of things was daily growing worse. It was feared that the exasperation of the people would lead to fresh disturbances. The rigorous measures which had been taken had not intimi dated the people. The negotiations with the lead ing men of Poland had been broken off. Prince Gortchakoff bad announced that official communications would be made, explaining the extent of the concessions granted by the Emperor. SPAIN. MADRID, Ana 19.

AMERICA. • unman., FBIDAL Thi Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Company's screw steamer City of Baltimore, Cap tain Pitrie, from New York on the 6th inst. ; and the Canadian Mail steamer North American, Cap tain Alton, from Portland on the same day, arrived in the Mersey at a very early hour this morning. lished Telegraphic summaries have been already pub . The New York Times of the 6th, says : The intelligence from Charleston looks warlike, and in dicates that a collision is likely to take place at any mo ment. The reports which have necked there relative to the movementa of the administration have mated mush ex citement, and the feeling appears to be general that war is inevitable within a short time. Generel Beamnprd, who L erle d rday morning before sunrise proceeded to Monis' oe bogies, connected with the batteries there located, is understood to hays declared that Major Anderson and his command must either evacuate Fort Sumter or be shelled within forty:eight bows. The report that the supplies for the garner. bad been out off by authority is JOrrotoetted by the Charleston papers. The Southern Commissioners , now in Waahimt,on, still express a belief that a peaceful policy will prevail, though their sincerity may with propriety be questioned, in view of all that is transpiring. On the other hand, they as that if the policy of the administration is the enforcement of the Federal law, the seceded States are ready to resist to the bitter end. - The iiie;iiments in the army and navy departments, which WINO develop ed yesterday, created considerable excitement, and gave übitable evidence that the government have in view important plans touching the military posts and re venue stations in the seceding States. The United States steam frigate has been fully equipped for sea within three days, and sails to-day at noon. She has been provided with a large quantity of flied ammunition for twenty-four sod twelve-pounders, boat howitzers, and shells and shot for her 9, 10, and 11-inch guns. She carries several carriages:or boat howitsers, and all the available boats that can be mustered in the yard, which will supply transports for 500 men at ore. Her list of officers, most of whom reported for duty yesterday, embrace 11 lieutenants, the ship'e complement being only four. Captain Samuel Mercer goes out in command. The steam-ship Atlantic, of the North Atlantic line, has been chartered by the government, and extraordinary diligence has been used, night and dav, in get ting her ready for sea, accommodations having been * fitted up on board for over 600 troop. She will be ready to sail at an early hour to-day. Besides this large steamer, the Illi nois, of Vanderbllt's Havre line, which wee to have sailed to-day, has been taken up by the government for the same the Atlantic. Circumstances indicate that the ;Orval 1111 ten has been detained to convoy the two steamers to their destinatioo, which of course is only known to the government, all the vele els sailing under sealed orders. The Atlantic, it is reported, has been provisioned for about sixty days. The New York Herald says : Our latest accounts from the capital assert positively that the administration, yielding to the pressure of the war section of the republican party, has determined to blockade the Mississippi river, and if possible, collect the revenue at that point from on board ship. The vessels of war now p for era are intended to co-operate in this design. In the Virginian State Convention resolutions, expressing an earnest desire for the re-establish ment of the union in its former integrity, had been adopted. An amendment, proposing that an ordinance of secession be submitted to the people, was rejected by a vote of 89 to 45. TURKEY. PARIS, FILIDAY. The Patrie of this evening says:—" The Turkish vessels blockading the coasts a Albania have cap tured and taken to Antivari a brig sailing under the lonian flag on account of its being loaded with arms and munitions of war." PARIS. FRIDAY. The Paris papers publish a telegram from Con stantinople, dated 18th inst., which asserts that the Porte has sanctioned the union of the Danu bian Principalities under Prince Coma, and has demanded that the conference at Paris should take official notice of the fact. It is stated that no diplomatic representative has offered any opposition to this resolution of the Porte, not even Baron Prokesch, the Austrian internuncio. HUNGARY. PRIM, Aran.l9. The Chamber of Deputies having been de fi nitively constituted, held its first sitting to-day. M. Ghyczy, the Presid.-nt, in his opening speech, laid stress on the epiality of the rights of all citizens and all nationalities of Hungary, and urged the necessity of maintaining the integrity of the country. He expressed his regret at the absence of the representatives of Transylvania, Croatia, Sclavonia, the military frontier, and the district of Fiume. THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. BUCHAREST, Aram 19.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. OFION OWN OWN PARIS, FILIDAY Evunia. The evening papers take for their text the Moniteur's telegraphic report of a speech of Gari baldi, according to which he designated the French army of Rome as an "enemy's army," and, with one honourable exception (that of the Opinion Nationale), they all cry havoc upon Garibaldi. Even M. Pena, generally so judicious as well as so liberal, has not patience to wait for the text of the speech, but putting the worst possible con struction upon the single phrase underlined in the Monitrur—certainly with no friendly object—do . _ nounoes Garibaldi in the Prase as " without ex cuse—as being guilty of ingratitude without a name—of speaking language the most incon siderate, the most anti-Italian, and the most anti patriotic." M. Peyrat does not seem to feel the importance of the prolonged occupation of Rome by the French. " The peace of Europe," he says, " the interests of France, of right and justice, required that Italy should be free and independent—she is so." How is she so ?—with Venice in the hands of avowed enemy and Rome in the hands of—France ? Strangely enough M. Peyrat contradicts himself in the very next sentence when he proceeds to say "The war has not, we know, given complete satisfaction to the Italians, but it has enabled them to make an immense step." An immense step to wardt what ? Why, to that very freedom and independence which but a moment befoee he avers they have completely Rained. As long as the French army remains in Rome everything is in question, and this Garibaldi strongly feels, and bitterly if not discreetly expresses. The Pays says, " It always knew that the ideas represented by the French army were incompatible with the ideas represented by Garibaldi." It is glad that he has said so, and hopes that Count Cavour has taken the opportunity to break definitively with "men of disorder." In this hope the Pays is already disappointed, for the latest telegram states that Count Cavour, after interchanging explanations with Garibaldi, had agreed to take his proposal for an armament of the country into consideration. The Opinion Nationale, as I observe above, does not join in the chorus against Garibaldi. Its principal editor, M. Gueroult, after quoting the expression " enemy's army," from the Muniteur, says ; We would make one single remark upon this subject. Thanks to the policy we are pursuing at Rome, the Pope treats us as revolutionists, and in the eyes of Garibaldi we are enemies. Do we please Y. Cavour any better? or Austria! or England ! Even in France has this policy many partisans ! We wish we may be mistaken ; bat we do stand in the utmost need of enlightenment as to the merit. of a policy which united against it the unanimous opposition of friends and enemies. It is now said that the Emperor will neither go to Compiegne nor Fontainebleau this spring. Ac cording to present arrangements his Majesty will leave the Tuileries for Chalons early in May, to inaugurate the camp, and on his return will take up his residence at St. Cloud for the summer. There has been an unusually severe contest at the election of a deputy foe Chambery. M. Bartho lony, the government candidate, only polled 5,250 votes against upwards of 4,000 given to his op ponent, M. Quetand. The Bourse was wonderfully firm, considering the news from Italy, and the various other alarm ing rumours. The only reason that I have heard for the upward movement is the rise of in Con sole, and the pacific tone (as it is understood) of Lord Palmerston's speech. The Rente roes 35e. for cash and 30c. for account, closing at 68fr. 25c. and 68fr. 20c. Mobi:ier rose Bfr. 750. Railways were from 2fr. 50c. to sfr. higher. The printer of the famous pastoral letter of the Bishop of Poitiers, a person of the name of Ondin, ' of that city, was the day before yesterday tried by the Tribunal of Correctional Police of Poitiers on the charge of having published the said pas toral without making the deposit of it required by law. It was proved that on the 25th Feb. he announced at the Prefecture of Vienne that he had printed 1,200 copies of the pastoral, and that on the same day he had sent through the poet 781 copies of it addressed to the clergy of the diocese and to the Bishops of France ; but that, though it treated of political matters, he bad not, twenty-four hours before making the said distribu tion, deposited copies in the office of the Procureur Imperial, as he ought to have done, under Art. 7 of the law of July 27, 1849. The tribunal fined him 500 fr., and to pay the costs. The lune rousse does not this year maintain its traditional character for inclemency. In Paris, the day before yesterday, the thermometer in the court of the Louvre stood at 25 deg. above zero Centigrade (77 Fahrenheit), and not • cloud was visible in the sky. At Rene also, and along the western coast, the weather is equally fine. The sun is bright, the sky clear, and vegetation of every kind progressing rapidly. THE NAPLES CONSPIRATORS. A communication from Naples of the 13th in the Di'kat+, nays ; The exandnation into the affair of the Duke de Cajaniello commences to•morrow ; the Proostrenr-General wishes to pit through it rapidly, but it will probably last some time. The advocate Marina Serra has accepted the defence of the duke, but the other prisonprisoners have not yet chosen their counsel. The accused parties haves& Interest in prolonging Igoe trial as much as possible, for on the let July next the batiste penal code is to come into operation, and it is much less several than the Neapolitan one for political crimes. The reaction attempted on the 7th gives great farce to the national government, all shades of the liberal party having rallied round it; even lt iron Nicoters, and, with him, all the Neapolitan Yap Anise... have offered their services to M. Spaventa. The ultru•democrata, the unintelligent conservatives, and the memos, loudly call on the government to declare the state of siege in the provinces, and they invoke the law against suspected persons, military tribunals, and banishment to the island of Sardinia for all the reactiouists. Prince de iYarignan, N. Nips, and the secretariesiteneral do not share in these views, and bare decided on not depart- iug from the strictest legality. The arrest of twenty seven Sicilian shirri took pft- yesterday at Porta Capriana. They have made avowals, and have put the police OD the trace of an important clandestine meeting, which was surprised at the Madonna di Piedigrotts. Hands were laid on Pontillo, one of the famous investors of the rep of silence, on the secretary of Menisealco, and oe the porter of the royal police of Palermo, who bad adopted the inge nious plan of baring two fares on his breastplate, one with the arm of Victor Emmanuel and the other with those of the Bourbons Arms, portraits, and a number of letters from Rome were seized. The National Guard of hernia and neighbourhood have shot 73 soldiers and peasants who have beau guilty of horrible messeres at Outiglione. Yea sermesimo and others were taken with arms in their hands. A band of 68, who were unarmed, have been banded ever to the civil power. The elections in Venetia, under the new Austrian constitution, have produced no result, as almost everywhere the electors have abstained, and at Udine, the sole place of any importance at which a vote has been taken, the three persons elected are natives of the locality now confined in the prison at Olmutz for political offences. The electors are to be convoked again, and if, as is probable, they con tinue to abstain, the Central congregation will have to nominate the deputies itself. EGYPT. CMOS • 00211211PCOMMIT.) ALEXANDRIA, Aran 11. The Voyageur de la Mar, the American yacht for which the Viceroy paid so dearly, as is the case with everything be gets, arrived bare on Sunday morning last from Liverpool where she has been altered. His highness, who had o rased the . night afloat, immediatelywent on board, and she course bad free pratique, notwithstanding the number of deaths (about 30) on her passage, and fever still on board. It appears the old frigate, frog: the " Euplian fleet," that has lain so long in the arsenal hers, which has also been sent to Liverpool to be improved, after sundry mishaps, managed at last to reach that port, but in a fearful state, from dirt and disease. The Amb crew (about 500) were tranderred to the Voyageur de la Her to bring her out ; but after this vessel left Falmouth, to which place she had had to put back, disease broke out, and the scene on board, I understand, was horrible. The des/nights could not be closed to keep out the water, and the poor fellows rolled about amongst all sorts of filth, the stench from which was abominable. On arrival at Gibraltar, the English captain, being sick, was sent on shore, but the state of the vessel becoming known, he was obliged to leave with her, and at Malta he died. Some of the engineers were left in hcepitaL The vessel, I learn also, narrowly ramped burning. Yesterday the Paths went out to sea with his steamers, including the above-mentioned weed (which will, no doubt, be his bobby for a time), pro bably to escape being as usual, with the congnitm latioos of the multitude ori end of Ramadan. The report which I added in a postscript to rny last, and which was current at the time, respecting the Sheriff of Mecca, it appears was false, as I am informed he is on hie way back. I also bear from Sam that the Viceroy did not go with the Peninsular and Oriental steamer, which was prepared for him, but which only accompanied his highness, who went on board an Egyptian steamer. INDIAN FAMINE RELIEF FUND. The eubacriptione in aid of the Indian Famine Fund continue to pour into the Mansion-house, and during the hat week the total amount received each day has ave raged nearly 3,0001., a great portion of which has been for warded by clergymen, being collections from different churches in the metropolis. The mail which left on nun day night carried out 14,0001. from the Mansion-house, which, together with 36,0001. despatched on two previous occsaions, makes a total of 50,0001. which has been sent to Bir George Clerk, Governor of the Presidency of Bombay, to bediatributed by him through the famine-strielien districis. eudusive of more than 3,0001. from Liverpool, 2,500/. from Manchester, and 1,500/. from Dublin. It is much to be re gretted, however, that more than half the sum is expended ix the carriage of the provisions, being more than is ex pended ix the actual purchase. It appease that the famine, which extends over a population of 10,000,000, has for the present overthrown some of the prejudices of caste, &c., for if a cow happens to die in the famine•stricken districts it is eaten by the Hindoos spite of the sacredness of that animal, as well as by the Mahornedans. The sum actaally received by the Lord Mayor is about 54,000/., besides advises of a large amount which has not yet been received. /Mow the dominoes fcrwarded to tl.e Lod Mayor yesterday were 500/. through the Mayor of Gam am!fla a further collection at Jassy, per C.

The question was sub. mated to "shop meetings ' for decision, and it was an nounced, at a meeting held on Thursday, that 316 rotes had been recorded in favour of returning to work, and 277 in favour of remaining on strike. The leaders of the turn. out at Ashton have resolved to decide the question in • similar way • while the operativa Stalybridge and Hyde have deter4sieed to prolong the strike—the former for another week and the latter for • fortnight. —Mancitester Guardian. _ _ Tag BUILD/ULe STILIX/L—FURTHER ARRIVAL, OF POZZION Wonmur.—Yesterday at noon, another party of foreign operative' in the building trades, about 35 in number, and consisting chiefly of masons and bricklayers, reached Loudon from France by the South Eastern Railway, for the purpose of joining their fellow countrymen who had preceded them on Saturday last. and who had readily found employment at the principal building yards of the metro. pole. The new arrivals state that they defrayed their own expenses of transit, having in prospect a lucrative and per manent engagement with the contractors for the works of the new Rxhibitioo building. RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT HULL YEETERDAY.—A train, consisting of an engine and 15 or 18 empty coal waggon", was prooesding yesterday, about 5.30 p.m. from the Victoria-dock towards the Paragonatreet station, and when just crossing the Anlaby-road one of the end waggons by some means got off the line, and fell over. It thus caused all the other waggons to drag off the lies, and although fortunately the engine itself was not curried off, the waggons dragged the line with such force as to tear it completely out of the ground, loosening the bed of the rails, sod several of the waggons were more or lees damaged. Very fortunately no person was injured, and one side of the rails remains free from the effects of the accident, so that the transit of pursuers and luggage will not be seriously impaled. Steps were immediately taken towards removing the waggons, preparatory to repainag the damage done to the line. —Hall Packet. - TEI WI/11 OF A LIVKRFOOL MERCHANT KILLED.

Considering the increase of New Town, City•road, and the various new stieste that have risen here in ten we have no doubt that 30,000 will be " topped."

COBDEN AND THE MANCHESTER CITY COUNCIL. --*-- The following letter from Mr. Cobden, M.P., has just been received by the Mayor of Manchester : " Algiers 12th April, 1861. "My dear sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of or letter enclosing • copy of the resolution peened by the Man chester city council, expressing their thanks for my labours in arranging the treaty with France. It gives me peculiar pleasure to receive this renewed assurance of the approba tion of the body over which you preside, representing, as it does, the city which must be ever recognised as the birth place of practical free trade. We are not, I trust, taking too sanguine • view of the effects of the resent commercial arrangement in assuming that its ilifilletlo6 will be felt beyond the limits of the two countries immediately concerned. When England and France are found co-operating, whether in peace or war, for the 'attainment of • common object, they can hardly fail to snake their policy triumphant throughout Europe ; and, looking at the negotiations now going on elsewhere, and the indications generally manifeetol, lam led to the conclusion that ere long the example of those two nation will induce the whole continent to adopt a more liberal commercial policy. In the meantime, whatever hesitation there may be in urop e or whatever temporary backsliding in America, it is sa tisf actory to know that England, speak ing through the voice of Manchester, remains faithful to the principle of unoonditional freedom of trade ; if it be accompanied with redptocity from other countries, so much the better for her and them—if not, so much the better for her than there. In any ease, liberty will bring its own reward. Let me beg you to be the medium for conveying to the council my sincere thanks for this expression of their confidence and k i ndness, and pray accept parochially my acknowledgments for the friendly terms of your letter which accompanied the resolution ; and I rennin my dear sir, yours sincerely, "R. &taw.

A SAD SCENZ.—We have just received intelli news from Burnham market of an extraordinary proceed ing, yesterday (Thursday) afternoon, at the burial—or what should have been the burial—of a deceased parishioner. The deceased, it seems, was a primitive methodist. lfu family objected to the church burial service, but at last, under advice, submitted to it, having performed their own service elsewhere. The rector met the body at the church yard-gate, and began reading the service, walking toivards the church. The relatives declined to follow ioW the church, and proceeded with the body to the grave and set it down. Not one word was said by them--not even a hymn was sung—and the family returned to their home. The minister ordered the graveto be filled up, leaving the body on t h e ground by the aide of the grave—and there it remains now 1 The minister, we presume, justifies this proceeding by the refusal of the family to follow him into the church ; or possibly there may be other circumstances of. excuse.
