INDLIN PRESS. TO THE EDITOR (►M THE BRITISH PRESS. 5 ia ,...-When I yes'. why promised you a notice of that p am phlet of fliehanlson's on the Press of India, which you were good enoligli to announce this morning, I suppose you we re not aware that I was shout to take up the side of the uestion dio ct!y at variance with the opinions of your tr im& in the Direction ; hut I hope I *Lail not be &sap misted when I rely on your known liberality, in hops that I vou will, as becomes ev..ry eaghtened conductor of a pa- I Per, admit th,• opinions of both aides. and support those! which seta best in your own eyes. 'chi' you are more p a rticularly called upon to do, when the matter at issue ' is the " craft by which you live." In fulfilling my pledge of yesterday, I shall first give in abstract of the history of ale Press of India, and then short) , advert to the conclusions which naturally flow from the statement of Inc facts of the case. I admit, in the first place, what our author is at con siderable pains to demonstrate (and I searctly think that I your readers will diem the admission rash), that the press is the best means that has ever yet been devised for widely disseminative knowledge, and communiosting ideas to an indefinite number of individuals ; but at the same time, it is the mode, of all others, which is easiest restrained by legislation ; for, thou* notloverntiecnt ran prevent one man from Ifflptt 'nil* his sentimenb in confidence to another, any Government can suppress or rc..train a mode of com munication which requ;res so much spate, such a Dumber of bands, and such publicity in executing, as is aseamerly required by the press. The narrative of the writer, as to the Malty of the press of India, does not go on in a continuous be ; bat this de fect I shall attempt to remedy, by ghillie brief account of it farms the earliest ages lin ;elesPUwaisisdicy), to the present day. Front time immemorial manuscript newspapers have been in circulation throughout India; sod as it may pus your retebas to know how these manuscripts could 1w curd lilted. I shall take this opportunity of informing them. In Delhi, a gentleman of the press, after doing up sonic smart paragraphs on tbe victories achieved by the army in the field, the health of the Emperor, and gene rally stating the name of the lady of his Majesty's harem who was honoured with his company the preceding night, and other Court scandal, which in thi..3foyeliog• met wou ld pass land r the bead of " Fashionable Intelligence" (the accuracy of their information they care as little about as if thci lived in Lridon . ), he gallica forth to the market place, mid loving, by continued voeilerstion, collect...if an audi ence round him, who each subset Hie • small sum, he reads his paper to them, and then moves on to another group; and this he continues as long as he can collect an audience, or until he acmes the brut of a rival editor. As lids simple style of communicating intelligence did not exactly snit the habitt of Englishmen, as soon as (W -enn' began to be filled with an European paved: tion a newapsi•er etas established, and it continued without in erferouce from any inn! until 1795, when Lord IVellesley, justly fearing the affect that the strictures contained in these rapers might bare on our native allies, establi:ted a cen sor-Ay on such of the papers as were conducted by Eu ropean editors and printers. Natives and half castes were empowered to print and publish whatever they pleased, and. ire pointof fact, aCakutta periodical work, " 7he l;azetteer," seck was the prove rty of, and conducted by half -came', was printed and published without the authority or interfer ane: of the tiovernment Censor, daring the greater part of Load Hastings government ; but is the It ar ISH, when NU-tastes became the proprietors of daily men, the larquis of Hastings emancipated the press with the hone grace possible, and matte a fine speech on the necessity of freedom of discussion to tke well-being of a state, and interned the astonished Q, hys, that such an admirable Govanint nt as that of finite challenged anti courted dis ruuion, and that the more closely it was inspected the store it vouhi be admired. For some weeks after this rneinorable expu; things went • . . on so ononthly and so amicably, that it was quile cdity in look at it.

Idiom of the press, and deal prevails been fettered by a law so capricious, that no man be safe from its penalties ; or, if Government bad so meaning in this solemn pledge but to mislead philanthropitim, why not now boldly say, that we keep India merely because it yields us a revenue, colisumi our manufactures firt4.4atuations (above mum! and below ) for younger b rother, and poor relations, and ~ we w ail not hear of any improvoment which may endanger so profitable a poixes•ion. (The Court of Dint-tore have almost said this.) 'l'hia would he fair and lionest--people would weltrstand wheolsey were about, and we should have no inure cant or hilinhog on the subject. There ten b.' no doubt that it is neessary that a control he exerted over every government, somewhere or other, and I this is admitted by Mr. Mani in a pamphlet which he published after he bad banished Mr. Buckingham. By- the-bye, a wurd ra to this pamphlet, as illustrative of the, fairness of lotlian Government. Mr. Adam first banishes I Buckingham—then fetters the press—then, when he has I prevented the possibility of a reply, writes a pamphlet, exculpating himself and abusing his opponent. This remind, us of a lubberly Chinese, who received a drubbing from an English sailor at Canton ; "lly ya," says the disci pie of Confucius, " Suppose man bob! him hands, then,' vele% much I bamboo he too." Where then is this salutary contronl to exist ? Not in the Court of Direettns, for it is their interest to wink at abuses, and not to correct them. Not in the Court of Pro prietors, for they generally know no more of India than as a place that yields them dividends. Not in the Board of Contruul,Yor the head of it generally fines it for his ad vantage totality on good terms with the Court of Directors; and besides, if the truth were told, there are more members of that hoard than the worthy Mr. Creevey, who :night, with justice, chant*— " WMu I was in cake, 0 dies! " I d—d all dm Blade's, IstA'd sot at the window. " Aed asmetinits I 'modal a pea, pes." Ac. Not by the English paptvs, for they neither know nor care about the matter. Nor in I t ngland at all, for it is far too distant, both as to "ace and time, either to prevent or re medy evil. Where, then, are we to find an effisetifte con trail over the Governor and officers of our Indian empire, but in a vigorous and well-regulated press upon the spot ? One word more anti I have done : Mr. Buckingham has been banished from Calcutta without trial or accusa tion ; his property hap been injun.sl; his motives arraigned, unit be deprived himself of the power of reply. The rights granted by Parliamentary charter to 1000)0.000 of people have been removed by the fiat of an individual, temporarily exercising the functions of Governor G. nerd. Where have been the advocates of the liberty of the press ? where the supporters of Carlile and Hone ? where the Manchester mob patriots? when'. the friends of Captain O'Callaghan ? why, of the whole Whig party, have we only Instil those of least influence, the retbse, the very whip pers-in of the pack, on the subject? why hare we foiinti the ereat Whigs of the India House strenuously defending Mr. Adair ? Gentle reader, I can solve tlAt riddle: Mr. Adam's father, the Chief Comniissioner of the Jury Court of Scotland, is the most useful man the Whig party pos. seas: his influence can place a Whig advocate on the Bench whose age and infirmities have renders(' him unable to gain a livelihood at the liar. By his influence a Court, almost every officer of which is a Whig, has been esta blished and maintained, against the cpinion of the Beech, Bar, and people of Scotland. So the Whigs .aunt annum to quarrel with such a man for a trifle ; and when the solid pudding of pension and place is weighed against the empty praise of duty and patriotism, these enlightened, high-mindad, incorruptible patriots would, in the words of a celebrated statesman, sell ow constitution to Paster John, and a' our boasted liberties to the Great Mogul. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, _ ..... -. Modern research ja evgry day bdnging to light new and valuable faeu., and we make it a point of duty to bring the most awful of these before opt readers. The extensive 'family use of hops in home-httsting, and the usual high price in the market, r• name it ftt importance to know the properties of the article. Ire- se, therefore, greatly in debted to Dr. lees, of &est York, who informs us that he l iou has clineover..l the part et the 'in which all the useful qualities reside, the r e st being refuse. l'he hop has two m om of flo , the male and the fe male, which grow on different . It is the female Bowers or cants , or catkins, as ire sometimes called, which are alone us e d in br e wing. he male plant is called the wild hop. The lio:n are compbard of scales of • plain greenish colour, and rolled in *at the base. Dr. Ives in forms vs, that he finds the base if( these scales or leaves coverts! by a very delimits:shining yelloiv grain, of &golden vAr topi lustre, falling into a powder ha toe to the touch NA of a pleasant aromatic smell. golden powder De. Ives found to be so abundant, as faro about a sixth part of the gross w.ight of thoz ' as brought to market. In this powder our informant aka soctertained that the t l i whole value of the hop resides, letiVes themselves being quite inert and useless. Ile Ibis powder is usually neglected or thrown awry veers, who are not aware of its value. We cannot to this, but if it is so, the error cannot be too soon corrected. I his valuable powder,c &if which is now known to • by the name of btpaline is easily separated by th d sifting from the useless leaves of the hops. Sit of bop% from the market ought, on AU average, to produce ontal= tw zrth lupuline, and this will go nearly a f fardwr than using bops in the gross. &novel of Dr. Ives will giveus an infallible test of gAlkur of hops. Tisk is of very great %tortoise, lisili to briwers and to families who brew their own beer, . and may, if they are careful, save them many a pound on the purchase of the article. If you look into any of the books on brewing, you will see how much at a loss they are for a test of the value of hops. " They must be chosen," says one, "by their bright green colour, sweet smell, and clamminess when rubbed in the hand." " Rub," says another, " a few hop pods strongly in the palm of the hand, and if they are good, an oily, rich, or resinous substance will be percepti ble, accompanied by a most fragrant smell. The friction should produce a quantity of fine yellow dust, called by the trade, coadition in which the Tidiness of the bop, in part, consists, as does its strength in the oily or resinous sub stance." This is a little nearer the mark, but still the error is great, and might mislead the buyer into very im- Pr?Ppurchases. he only test of course is, that the powder described so accurately by Dr. Ives should be abundant, constituting about a sixth of the gross weight, and it should be of a clear bright golden colour. . TREATMEN7' OF RHEUMATISM. [From the Family ddvismi As rheumatism is a sort of inflammation always brought on by cold, there can be no doubt that our best plan of cure is to take a course which will oppose that cause and its efforts. Perspiration, which has been confined by shut ting up the pores of the skin, must be restored to its healthy state; for the clammy and partial perspiration just described does hide svelte so long as the skin is tense and harsh, and will not let the sweat escape earoigh it freely.

HART—Then, my done with It for ever. crntlNG r. THnit,roX. Thu► was a part-heard motion resumed from Wedne sday. The subject miter was the will of the late Colonel Thornton. of sport ing notoriety. It will be remembered that the Colonel, la the way of his sporting speculations, contracted debts to a very large amount, retired to France front the troublesome claims of his creditors, be ' came domiciled and naturalized In that country, purchased aa es tate to which a French Slarquisate was attached, received the Royal letters patent of nobility, sold the land and the title, made a will in favour of an illegitimate daughther, to the eadusion of a legitimate one, and concluded his career by dying. Pan of the devised pro perty was in F:niehicrl, part in France; the will had been proved before the Ea lesiastical Court of Canterbury ; the executer appoint ed by the testator was a Dr. Curling. The object, of the motion made by Mr. tthadwell on Wednesday, was an injunction to re strain Dr. Curling from acting as executor relatively to the pedperty of the deceased. The main ground of argument in support of the motion was of an indicative nature. It was alleged that (:olonol Thornton was a domiciled subject of France at the time he executed the testamentary document. The law of France held a bequest to an glegitimate child null and void during the existence of a kziti mate one. The Colonel had violated that enactment by excludisg his legitimate daughter term his property, and bequeathing it to he illegitimate ; the will was therefore invalid relatively to the French law, and should be looked at in the game light by the English Courts. The executor could not thaelere have any power over the property under the authority of an invalid instrument. Mr. NEWLAND WM proceeding to follow dlr. Stedwell in the same line of argument yesterday morning,, when The Loan Cuss NCELLOR declared agy Naha argumentation on the subject unnecessary. The will had been prov e d, and ad mitted in the Ecclesiastics' Courts to be a valid instrument. His Lordship could not emsitler it in any other character after .uch a decision ; the principle of the present motion woo, without pre. cedent, quite new. kits Lordship had no authority to contradict the Ecclesiastical Court on the point; he could not, therefore, dismiss the executor. The SOLl''' . ',.GEW , "- table _.."I.ICIIOII4IEXERAL said, the unts...e question to this case was, whether Colonel Thornton walla Yorkshire fiticon..v and sporting character, or • French Marquis. It would come to nothing in the end ; there would be no property remaining, after the Eng lish creditors should be paid. There was no motley to ground the question between the French and English law. The effects in France were sold, and the produce deposited in the French Court of Chancery, the Court of Premier Instance of the Department of the Seine; they did not exceed 5,09U1. ; the property ►n Eng land was almost exceeded by the sum of the English debts. It WWI better that the litigation should end, and the relics u: the pro perty sand fur the creditors. Mr. Hinter followed on the sane side, and contended, that the property ought to be converted to the payment of the numerous English eminent. Mr. HEALD. it)? MHO, ClitlblZ, expressed indifference ots the past ef his elidin g Mt the nods of she affair, whichever wary would turn. The I.nan Cu ANCE ((on was shindy of mini, ti that he could say nothing against the validity of the will after it had been ad. milted in the Ecclesiastical Courts. As to the allegation, that ('ol. Thornton was a domiciled Frenchman, his Lord,hip would not sabscribe to it. In feet, the Colonel appeared by his very will to have considered himself domiciled Vorkahireman. As to the pro. ceedingeon the point before the French law Courts, his Lordship had tcctived them from some quarter, but had not looked at them, as he had come thing else to do. Mr. SIIADWE L.I. wished to state tobis Lordship rather a curious fact relative to them. Judgment had been lean:minced on the Mt in one Court. The party defeated carried the mutter befiare the French l'ouvt of Appeals. The Judge having it an d the a-gu- meets, said he would not give jtuhplicit until be ,hauld have heard how his Lordship the English Chr.hcellor should have decided the question. The LORD CHANCELLOR felt obliged to the French Judge ; but at to what constituted a domicile in the eve of the I:isv, was a very nice and difficult question. Ills Lordship remembered that the Parliament decided, that if a British subie:t, suppose a &MI6- CAA VOrkshirrillan, went out in the Ku g's atrvice to the Last Indies, and died there, they held that he died its the diocese of York but if he went out On his own btoinebo, or any other than I the public service, and died abroad, in that case he vex 6tIJ to have died in the diocese of Canterbury. . subject changing his residence for the service of the mine was nut supposed to have changed his domicile ; such was the nicety of the law on the con stituvnt principle of domicil:.—Motion dismissed.
