_y_ y, - pi whose hands the whole of the Eastern trade and pqssessions devolves by course of right—England, in her moderation, relaxes that grasp, that might lawfully seize all, and offers to renew your Charter, and confirm your exclusive privilege to the China trade, on the easy condition of that to India being thrown open, and extended to some of her out-ports. For another period of years, she allows you to remain law-givers and kings over millions—she leaves your empire unshaken, and only requires a partial vent for the industry of her manufacturers, and the enterprise of her metehants. This, you haughtily denounce your intention, as though you had the power, of refusing; and this conduct, on your part, so contrary to every ptinciple of gratitude, justice, and even of policy, will, if persevered in, only serve, I trust, to produce a still greater benefit to the country at large, by occasioning a total change in our Indian system. In my next, I shall demonstrate the futility of the argu ments urged by the advocates for monopoly, and particularly by Ci v is, in The Times of Thursday last. I shall also prove, that the fears which have been artfully excited, with respect to the dangers of colonization, arc without foundation. COMMON SEISE.

In consequence of this outrage, the Frome and East Mendip cavalry have been ordered out on pettuament duty, as these deluded men have threatened to revisit Frome. Sidney College, Cambridge, was discovered to be on fire on Sunday. It bioke out in one of the upper rooms, and is suspected to have been • the work of an incendiary. This is the third time, within a short period, in which it is supposed this College has been set on fire tully and maliciously. Upon the present occasion it Was happily got under before it had done much mischief. A person his been taken into custody, who had been examined on the preceding fire.
