Mrs. Margaret Bones stated she wee the pesos who warned Mies Arnold. The captain wee es the poop, bat she (Mn. Boom) did not see the doctor there. The doctor, in endeamaring ta extricate kkaself from the odium of this unangllsh usage of a respectable end worthy young female, was adroitly brought up by Kr.

Captain English—And why did you not report it to the daetu ? _ _ _ Metros—l did report it to the doctor. Mn.

The girl naturally felt diffident, bat would honestly a ewer, if questioned on the subject. She Introduced Mtn Hill as the person she referred to Miss Hill, in reply to Mr. Ontudy's enquiry, pat In the moat delicate form, declared the wooed mate used to to in certain of the Aisle girl.' berths at night, and more shun le is still, eassetissee in the day.

Mr. Grundy then wooteded to the charge made against the surgeon of cegleeting the sick. In support of it he read over spin the tit it of Miss Arncld'e let ter that relates to this so ; latter from Mr. Berber, a passenger, which ha appeered in the Ade le- de papers, and a letter front &nog Illingworth, also a passenger. In support of thtse and other alle gations oral testimony was adduced at considerable length. --—--- - - - • - Captain Brewer said (after bowleg all parties) that he would report on the matter to the colonial government without delay. In the rathatisse, of confer, the committee would set as they thought proper. Mr. Grundy said that particular ease wee in Captain Brewer's hands, and there was no doubt he would deal with it on it. merits. The committee had a more extensive ob ject in vie, than merely expoahig the ineftlegieney of the doctor, or the culpability of the captain, whose conduct he (Mr. Grundy) was compelled to denounce as disgraceful to the charayer of the English merchant service. (Beer, hear.)) The committee should wage war with the system, and, if nersible, reform it altogether." (Cheers.) Mr. J ihn Stephens said Captain Brewer bed acceded cheerfully to the wish of the pasesegen and that of the committee by them appointed. He named that day for the inveetigatioe, and holed listened to their complaints with marked patience and attention. He (Mr. Stephens) pro- posed a vote of thanks to Captain Brewer. Mr. Grundy seconded the motion, :which was carried by acclamation. We have bean compelled to omit some of the charges as being too gross for publication, as also was much of the re crimination that took place. A theme of grog selling,which involves a serious penalty, was also established against the ship's ffici n. As one of the many instances which want of space prevents us from reporting, we may mention that the Doctor endeavoured to shelter himself from the charge of in- difference to the wants of the emigrants by stating that, if he had been made actpthiated with them, they would have been redressed, the captain _at the same time laying hold of the same straw; whereupon Mr. Stephens handed to Mr. Grundy, who was on his legs, • espy of the memorial_ lad- deemed to the doctor and the captain , on the 13th May, which sate oat by a reference to " the loud and frequent complaints that had been already made." This respectful memorial, it was farther stated, had arises out of the fact that verbal and individnal complaints to the dealer sad the captain, in their separate capacities, bed been disregarded, sad, strange to my, the doctor was rash enough to return that important document, because not addressed to him alone, an awkward admierion, by the bye, that he considered himself solely responsible for the health and comfort of the emigrants.

GROSS OPPRESSION AND DEBAUCHERY ON BOARD AN EMIGRANT SHIP. Ott most recent Ales from South Angle?lia an filled with charges of the most serious nature against the surgeon and officals of the emigrant barque, lodise. These charges were originally published in the Adelaide Observer. A public meeting was next held on the subject. Ultimately the emigration agent at Adelaide, Captain Brewer, appointed a meet ing. at which the emigrants' committee should exhibit their charges before him in presence of the securers and the @ceased. The meeting was held on the 10 h of September, in the native schoolroom. There were present, beside the motivation agent and emigrants' committee, eighty peassagers by the Indian, of whom twelve were females, the surgeon, matron, school master, and cfficers of the nivel, and • crowd of spreators.

(Here the has. gentleman pre dated a nembor at specimens of what appeared to be paper et various qualities.) Now, at the mere caprice of the ell. sere of ex ci se, the real or the fictitious production is pro gramed to be paper. Oir hundred for cent. is accordingly levied upon the cost value of the one, while the other goes here, and it may be interesting to your lordship, and to the rah at lugs, to know why. The bare assertion of the fact, diod e would scaresly be credible without the eerrobora ties of detail. By a decision of the Board of Parse, la order to constitute paper, the material mast have been pulverised end worked in water. It occurred to a maanimeggee to take adirautase r this *Medal definitios. He reser premier, and sesstrected machinery for the pee per of fabeisating the very some materiels in a dry state. He sueseded, and challenged the Board of Excise to mere the goodeorkich, &wording to their euthoritative description, could not be paper. A seizure wen made ; but • colefro miss took plats. The manufacture was allowed to proceed for a given time, on the distinct understanding this, miter its expiration, he should discontinue his process, or sabret hie product to the same duty with that paid upon paper menfactured in the usual way. I believe it was &sem tinged accordingly ; but it was subsequently revived, end is at this moment carried on—the good. being sold under the we of felt, extensively substituted for paper, and distr. gahbable from that manufacture by no perceptible differ ence except by being slightly darker in colour. I must err elude by observing that the immoral tendency of this tax is such that I fear it is encouraging the most iniquitous prac tices, aod rapidly brushing down the probity of the mew facture Lewis trade. For we see daily in the markst paper sold at prices at, which no honest trader can produce It, trammelled as he is by this most oppressive and obnoxious law. Mr. JAMES BALDWIN, from Birmingham, rid—lily lord, I had the honour about a year and a half ago of ad dressing a letter to your lordship on these unjust laws, and the answer I got from your lordship was that you would take the matter into your serious counderation. 1 now some with this deputation to ofier a low additional reasons for their abolition. I perceive that your lordship's government is aware that the genie laws are becoming ex ceedieely obnoxious, for I observe you now call all the ex cess offices " inland revenue silicas." This convinces me that your lordship is aware of the feeling of the esethery an this matter. Now, my lord, a few of the additional rumens are thee", that I find that Birmingham, the town I mime from, according to its population, uses more p ap er ie w aid re-wrapping rapping its manufactured than almost any other in the kingdom ; and to ow how this acts, before I left home I called on a few of the mer chants and manufacturers, each, for instance, as Memrs. Stholefieli, Messrs. Vanwart & Cu , Harrold', Mr. R. W. Wiefleld, J. Palmer and others. In one of these houses I found that nearly 20 tons of wrapping paper, paying 151. per ton had been used in a year, the manufacturers of these goods having used 30 tons pre viously in making the same goods ; the merchant dealing with them used 30 tons additional for the same goods ; so that, reckoning 30 per cent. put on in America, this paper duty alone made a difference of neatly 1,0604 per annum in the dealings of one house. Under such circumstances, how was it ramble the Eng'.ish merchant and manufacturer could compete with the foreign merchant and manufacturer, who did not pay duty en the paper in which their goods were peeked ? My lord, I du hope, as you cannot say now you cannot spare the money, that you will relieve the country of this unjust and improper tax. Before I sit down, allow me just to say that, in exporting the com moner kind of paper, the trouble and expense we are put to in packing for exports amounts to from 12 to 15 per sent., while to send the same paper to Australia the carriage does not amount to more than about 5 par cent. Mr. DURHAM adverted to the circumstance that the excise duties proved a bar to the applications of science in this bench of manufacture, and illustrated this by ob serving that beautiful papers of certain descriptions, such as paper hangings, &c , hare been made in France from straw ( several samples of straw paper having been laid on the table by Mr. Cowan), and the wonder of course is, how such an article manufac•ured is France cannot be also done in England, where there is so much skill, enterprise, and capital. He said the excise duty must be held chargeable with this marvellous state of thinsa. Mr. CHAMBERS said, the pressure of the paper duty upon the business of publishing is chiefly felt in the mat popular clam of publications—those addressed to the gnat body of the people. Oa a newspaper of large circulation it is very heavy. I know a provincial journal which shows great enterprise, and upon it the paper duty is about 6001. per annum, which would be a profit failing all other. On cheap literary journals, I can speak more definitely. There was one called a " Miscellany of Tracts," which my brother and I published. It met a large sale, and, I believe, was in the way of doing some good amongst the humbler slams. It returned, however, so slight a profit that we gays it up, while selling to the extent of 80,000 copies. 0.. the whole amount of this work printed the duty was 6,2201. Now, this would have been a very ample profit in itself, though a mere shade upon each copy. The amount of duty paid for our publications per annum is, at an avenge, close upon 3,0001., which must be considered as a gnat burden on what is, to all intents sad purposes, • branch of the educational means of the country. In a cheap publication, the value of paper may be set down at nearly one-fourth of the selling price, and considerably above one third of the price to the retailer. Mr. C. KNIGHT would not detain his lordship by add leg anything to the general argument which had been urged by Mr. Chamber, as to the dithoursgem.nt of popular lite rature hints exhumes of the duty on paper. He would confine his observations to one point. The paper tax ope rated injurious) y against all literature, but met* especially so in the case of cheap publications for which high-priced skilled authorship was paid. He had been able to show that the duty had been a positive burden upon the " Penny Cynosisestia " to the extent of 16,5001. That work was undertaken under the auspices of his lordship himself, amongst other eminent persons ; but the coat had been borne by Mr. Knight. It had never been remunerative; for the net was largely increseed by the natural operation of the tax upon the pries of paper. The remarks of the deputation were followed up by a short bat lucid mad forciole address bona Mr. BUYS. on the social, moral, and commercial questions involved in the subject; after which the gentlemen, who had been received with the greatest courtesy by his lordship with drew.

Alderman FAXEBILOTILEa took the chair. The platform was full, and the body of the room was crowded. The CHAIRMAN raid some two or three years ego he was one of a deputation which visited Sir J.

DEFALCATION OP ANOTHER SAVINGS BANK Ac- Trazy.—ln consequence of the late :posting of the Roth. dale and other savings banks, the menagen of the Dartford bank adopted means of having the books and accounts ex amined by an examining committee of managers and an accountant entirely unconnected ni h the establishment. The first meeting of the committee was and at the Bull Ina, on Saturday, the 2nd inst., wh7n about 200 books were produced, and as far as they were examined no snore were detected. In the evening the secretary, Mr. Pain. cal'ing on Jardine, the actuarT, ssw a depositor's bodi lyin g there, which be opened, and found it differed nearly 1001. from the ledger. He charged himself with baring made a mistake, when the actuary confessed that he had committed fraud to the amount of about 1,0001.

ACTUAL STATE OP WORKS AT WESTMINSTER. rALACI.—We walked from one end of the enormous hullo ing to the other, a few days ago, and were grieved by the cir of desolation which everywhere prevailed. Had we known nothing of the truth we should have fancied that the builder had gone wrong, and that a messenger fr. in the Court of Bankruptcy was in possession—a result, by the way, which would very probably hive tutu brought grout, as we shall show premolar if the buildct had been a man or I, se substance than Mr. Grissell. To a very large portion of the building nothing whatever has beta done for four years ; there it stands in carcase, just as it did four years ago. The first contract, commenced ten years since, and which was to have been completed in throe year', is positivtly sot ;ft wound up. In toe Commons' lobby the scaffolding us mainly as it wa eighteen months ego, and there ere n 3 orders yet given for building it. In the Commons' library chore bad not been a man at work for two or three years till lot week, when three or four joiners were sent in to—tyke down some pedestal presses which bad been put up. Our r. ceders who understand these things will laugh when we tell thim that the whole number of Ohmic now employed on the building is thirty. The Hones of Commons has been Vending still for sin months. The Oonanions' refreshment mom, again, is exactly as it was one year and a half M.O, and as it will be one year and a half hence p unt moos *anklets permit it to proceed. —B • • :41 , ir.tf r▪ e .41 , • tir IL rr-4 1 •▪ • .• • • I. • I Y e . it . . .i ,
