LORD COCHR ANE. COPY OP A LITTER PROM LORI COCHRANE. TO HIS HIGH 111106 IfORAMMID PACHA OF EGYPT. • Your emplaying foreigners in your military and naval service, the privilege which you claim and exercise of building and equipping ships of war in neutral states, and of purchasing steam-yesNelt, and hiring transports under neutral flags. for hostile purposes, and to trans-, port to slavery a people whom the O.toman arms have never yet beers able to subdue, warrants a belief (what ever your sentiments may be), that the civilized, edu cated, and liberal portion of mankind will be gra:ified, that succours, similar to those which you have unfortu nately obtai net hitherto from those states, are now about to be afforded to the brave, the oppressed, and suffering Greeks; nor will the advantage derived be wholly theirs ; for until you shall cease, or be forced to abandon your inhuman traffic in Christian slaves, and the com• mission of cruelties which stain the character of man, your subjects must inevitably continue blrbarous—a state from which it would be a source of great gratifi cation to contribute to release them. It is true that the Christian world have not of late contended in arms with those of your faith, on points of religion ; they have not, however, fallen into a state of apathy so great as to see unheeded the perpetration of those enormities which you are daily committing on their Christian brethren ; a sentiment with• which no feeling of animosity towards you, or towards your people, is combined, but on the contrary a desire to render you every good service consistent with that duty, paramount to all others—namely, to wipe out the stain from the civilized world, of unfeelingly and inhumanly co-operating to exterminate, enslave, and transport to bondage a whole Christian people; and such a people, the descendants of those Greeks, whose genius laid the chief foundation of literature and the arts—who reared those noble monuments and edifices, which time, and the more destructive barbarian hand, have yet failed to destroy, and which, compared with the wretched hovels of your hordes, may better point out to you the eleva tion they attained, and the prostrate state In which your people are—owing, alas! to the baneful effects of bi gotry and despotic sway. Surely, surely there is ample field for the exercise of your energies at home, in encour 'ging industry, the arts, and sciences, in promoting the civilized& of your people, and in enacting equitable laws for the security of persons and property ; on which basis the national prosperity of all countries must rest. But should your ambition, not content with bestowing blessings like these on your native land, lead you to soar almost above mortal acts, distant oceans would unite, and the extremities of the globe approach at your com mand ; thus might your name be rendered immortal, and Egypt again become the emporiim of commerce, and one-of the richest and happiest nations upon - earth. How infinitely great the glory of such acts! How despicable the fame of a tyrant conqueror,—the ruler of slaves It would be pleasing to support you as the author of great and good works; but it is shameful to permit your present proceedings, and dastardly .to leave the unfeeling apostate sons of neutral and Christians nations unopposed, aiding to perpetuate barbarism for horrid gain, drawn from the price of Christians torn from their homes, and sold as slaves in foreign lands. Against these atrocious men, my eompanions and myself cast the gauntlet down, and will contend, iq the hope, that you and they may perceive your true in terests, and your great error, and pursue a different course before it shall be too late. Quit the classic sacred soil of Greece. Let the Sayings, and burnings, and impalings of this people cease; and, oh! shocking to humanity.! the ripping up of pregnant females, and the hewing in pieces of their infant babes, and other acts yet worse than these, too horrid to relate! Release the Christian slaves—pursue an honourable and enlightened path, and we become friends to aid you in your pur suits. But should the present course be continued, let the bands of cruel assassins in your employ count on our opposition; count, too, on our neutralizing the effect of every vessel procured or brought from Chris tian States. 66 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers," (in the prophecy now to be fulfilled). 66 WO to them that go down to Egypt for help and stay." , " When the LOAD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth sh fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fall together:' Instead of filling brimful the cup of bitterness, of which you yourself must ultimately drink, bow admirably might you employ your people, and your treasure, the waste whereof is tearing to you a barba rian successor, to prolong the bondage of Egypt. The Christian prayer of those called to rescue their suffering brethren is, that conforming yourself to the dictates of reason and humanity, you may live long to benefit mankind ; and as you are more enlightened than your predecessors, so may you become more hu mane and just. (Signed) ' COCHRANE. • Isaiah, e. 51. By advice: from Bogota to the 9th of April, it ap pears that the accusation preferred by the House of Representatives against General Paez, for misconduct in the exercise of his functions as Commandant General if Venezuela. has been admitted in the S?nate by 15 votes to 6. His impeachment will, therefore, be pro ceeded with, unless rte critical situation in which Co. Nubia is placed by tt•e derangement of its finances, should make the Goveri.ment pause in the punishment of an officer who has acted so conspicuous a part in the Revolution, and who is much beloved by the soldiery. The return of Bolivar to his own country seems referred to by the public voice as the only event which can rescue the Republic from its present difficult situation. It appears by the finance accounts lately presented to Parloonent, that the net Revenue of the Customs of Great Britain, for'tl.e year ending the sth January, 1t 26, was 17,038,3571. and the charges of collection 156,1761. being at the rate of 6 per cent. The net Revenue of the Customs of Ireland for the same period was 1,906.9001. and the charges of collection, 368,5561. being at the rate of 19 per cent. The net Revenue of , the Excise of Great Britain was .20,476,6881. and the charges of collection 1,027,4261. or in the proportion of 5 per cent. while the net Excise Revenue of Ireland was 1,776,2261. and the charges of collection 225,6791. being in the proportion of nearly 13 per cent.

CORN, ke. By certain Papers which were of dared by the House of Lords to be printed, we see the great fluctuations to which the price of corn hat, at various times, been suk ject. Accounts of the average prices of wheit, per statute quarter, in each year, from 1670 to the-present time, have been furnished, partly by Mr. Irving, the Inspector General of Customs, and partly by Mr.. Jacob, the Receiver of Corn Returns and the former Gentle man has also given an account of the quantity of every sort of grain, flour, and meal, exported and' imported in each year, from 1697 to 1825. The average price of wheat, for thelast roar months, has been 58s. 6d. per quarter. 8a long ago as 1674, the price was 61s. op. The lowest price given is that of 1743 and 1744, in both which years it was 225. and the highest is that of 1812, which was 1225: Sd. The very low price was preceded, only three years be fore, by a price considerably more than double ; and the very high price was followed, three years after, by a price little more than half. Taking into the account all sorts of Grain, Meal, and Flour, Great Britain was, during the first quarter of the last century, an exportiog country, and during the ' first quarter of the present century, an importing coun try, but, nevertheless, the market for the home grown corn has been larger in the latter than it was in the for mer period ; for our population having much more than doubled, the home demand has far exceeded the Wisest. The cautious measure proposed by Ministers, while it sufficiently guards the poor against the evil of scar city, cannot injure the agriculturist. Taking the whole together, it brings into the •market, certainly 330,000 quarters, and possibly 500,000 more, but the latter quantity is not to be introduced unless in case of emer gency. Now, supposing such an emergency to arise, it would only add 830,000 quarters to the home sup ply ; and we perceive that this is but about 80,000 quarters more than last year'l imerri. Looking at the price of the last four months, viz. 58s. 6d. we cannot think there is any great probability that Government will eventually find it necessary to let the whole 880,070 quarters out of bond ; and, therefore, we think the- ago iculturists have little to fear. On the other hand, whatever quantity is brought into the market, there is every reason to believe that it will be sufficient to meet the demand without any considerable rise in price ; so that the poorer classes may rest satisfied that their in. terest has been adequately consulted. After all, if a sudden and unforeseen calamity should fall upon us— if the harvest should disappoint all out hopes and expec tations, an i food should (contrary to all probability) he raised to a famine pace, Ministers can but resort, at the worst, to that measure which some of their op ponents advised them to adopt, in the first instance.— They may open their ports on their own responsibility, and come to Parliament for an indemnity. This decisive, step they would, no doubt, take, rather than see the', people pet ish ; but there is little need to speculate on a st ate qf things, the occurrence of which we have uo rea son whatever to apprehend. A Gentleman in Buckinghamshire has this season planted two sets of a single p .tatoe, called the early kidney, of which the produce has been no less than 144 potatoes from the two plants. The skeleton of the human body consists of 254 se• parate pieces of bone or osseous substances, most of which contain a quantity of matter calk.' marrow, and are surrounded with a ustrubrane called the periosteum. The height of the . sk .leton of a person five feet eight inches high when alive, will generally be found to be five feet seveu inches. INQUEST ON ALDERMAN COX. —46.;. • • , Yesterday afternoon,* four O'clock, ass Inquest was held at the Crown Tavern. in N'inseum-street, Blooms bury, before Mr. Unwin, one of the coroners for the county of Middlesex, and a respectable Jury, on the I body of R:tbert Alhiln Cox. Esq. Alderman, who died suddenly at his house in Hart street, Blootnsbury, on Tuesday last. The Jury having been sworn, they, together with the Coroner, proceeded to the house of the deceased Gentleman in Hatt-street, close to St. George's church,' where they took a view of the body. Having returned to Cie jury -room, the following evi dence was submitted to the consideration of the Jury : Anne Jane %%rafts deposed, that she had for some time lived in the service of the deceased, as did also her sister. On Tuesday last, about three o'clock in the afternoon, her m lister returned hame from Westminster, where he had gone in the morning upon business. He complained of being rather unwell, and said he would.{ go upstairs and lie down a little, but said that he did not feel seriously ill: and on being asked if he felt any palpitation, said he did not. In the course of a little time after he went up stairs, the witness's sister went up to.see how he was. Witness was then in an adjoining room, and soon after she heard her sister scream, and on going to the apartment of the deceased, she found him in an insensible state, and apparently dying. Site then sent immediately for a surgeon, who attended in a few minutes. The sister of the last witness gave almost similar evidence. Mr. Charles George Ireland deposed that he was a surgeon, residing at No. 38, Hart -street, Bloomsbury. On Tuesday afternoon last, about five o'clock, he was called in to visit Alderman Cox, who was then labour ing under a sudden attack of apoplexy; he found him quite insensible, and in a dying state. Witness opened a vein in the deceased, and with difficulty got a few ounces of blood, which however afforded no i eilef : the deceased was then beyond the reach of all human aid, and died in about five minutes after he was bled.— Witness did not open the head of the deceased since death, or make any other dissection of the body, because he deemed it quite unnecessary to do so, the immediate cause of the Gentleman's death being clearly apparent from the external symptoms, and there could be no doubt but he.died a natural death by apoplexy. Wit ness was satisfied that the death of the deceased was not Caused by any thing taken internally. Witness was not in the practice of attending Alderman Cox profes aionally before, and indeed he understood that the de ceased seldom had recourse to any medical advice, or to the use of medicines he supposed the deceased to. have been about 60 years of age. The Coroner said, that there could be no doubt but the deceased Gentle-' man had died a " natural death r and the Jury imme diately concurring in the same opinion, returned a verdict accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. J. Brown, a porter, was charged with stealing a box containing 51. worth of apparel belonging to %Mimeo. The latter having left his situation at Mr. Fawcett's, No. t, Cheapside, and engaged with a house at Paddington, the prisoner was sent with Ms box to the latter place. About three hours after he passed the house in Cheapside again, and stated that he bad delivered the box safe, and waited half an hour for Rawlinson's arrival. It turned out, boso m., that be had not delivered the box, and upon inquiry, he said he had left it at some place which he could not call to mind, being very drank at the time. He went about endeavouring to discover what had become it, and failing, surrendered himself into the bands of a constable.—He was remanded. Jai* Cooper was remanded, charged with breaking into the chambers of Mr. Buddy, in Clifford's Inn, with intent to steal. UNION HALL. Two men, named aocktudi, father and son, were brought before the sitting Magistrate, M. SwAur,Esq. on a charge of attempting to disinter the body of *female buried in Newington Church-yard. The watchman, whose duty it is to keep a strict look out after the swarms of resurreedon.men who inhabit that quarter of the town, stated, that about half-past one o'clock that moaning, being moo4light, he observed die two prisoners walk into the Church yard, and approach the grave of a woman that had been interred a few days previously. One of them carried a shovel, and the otithr a large iron crow bar. As soon as they came to the grave the man that had the shovel lay down on the grass, while the other began to _ilk alto theearth with the crow bar, " which we caU splitting the cti's; said the watchman. When he perceived their design, he ely proceeded towards them, and on asking to know their llisiliseadeale at that boor, they both stood in an attitude of de. SAN. with shovel and crow bar is their hands, swearing that no *Should interrupt them in their proceedings. The watchman was ultimately obliged to threaten to shoot them before he Muhl insist on their accompanying him to the watch-bouse, whither be had some difficulty ift removing them. 'The elder Stockwell declared that neither be nor his sin ever attosiapted to open a grave in their lives. The brother of the deceased said, that be was convinced Stock well and his son had some design on the body of Lis sister, other wise they would not have visited such &plate and u nth :about. The Magistrate asked whether muck of the earth had been re amed et the grave, and the answer being in the negative, he ques. dosed tlse prisoners to give some account of their proceedings on the night before. • Stockwell, ten. said, that it was kis love and friendship for the de. 411119sed while living, that induced him to watch her corpse when end, in order to prevent its being taken up and carved by the docnies t The decessots•brother declared that no friendship, not eves.= gpaintante, subsisted between his sister while living, and the mss who now professed such a kind regard for her body. He (the Statist) was convinced that Stockwell and his eon wanted to disturb '{rave, and tom the body of the deceased into account for t~s Ives. Rsekwell, however, denied this, and spin repeated that be had suited the church-yard merely with a view of watching the retrial of a woman for whom he had the highest regard when living. Mr. Swelter observed, that it was rather eztraordinner should have shovel and crow bar with them while guartfk: ll ; grave. Those were strange weapons of defence.' A person present came forward and sta:ed, that while In a pfd lui house the night before, Stockwell. ass. =enclosed his intention of visiting the church-yard that night, for the purpose of prey the body of the deceased from being steles, and 'both the declaring this to be the fact, Stockwell, see. was bold to bail for assaulting the watchman, and his son was discharged. When the letter left the office, he was attacked by sans females the relatives of the deceased, and knocked down, and weeld have been severely beaten had it not been for the interference of some constables.

A considerable part of the country is fertile in corn. Its forests afford the most ample supply of teak of any part of India, and for years have supplied the materials fur the construction of many ships in the portof liangoon,as well as furnished the arsenals and dock-yards of Madras andCalcutta..Tbe northern parts of the empire, though inferior in fertility to the southern, are rich in mineral wealth, affording gold, silver, iron, and tin.

At three o'clock the candidates made their appearance, and after placing thenuelves in readiness at buoys stationed near the arches of' Westminster Bridge, the signal was given, and the boats proceeded through VauxhaUPridge.
