M3!Wr MONEY MARKET AYE C 0 IVIERCTAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. There has been a very quiet business transacted in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets dur ing the past few days, and only the better qualities of the various article, , , have maintained their pre vious values. Sugar met a very dull sale, and the lower descriptions have declined 6d. to ls. per cwt. For Coffee there has been a very limited inquiry. Rice has slightly improved, and in tea, rum, and saltpetre the transactions were unimportant. The Tallow Market has been rather firmer, and prices have exhibited a slight improvement. P. Y.C. on the spot is quoted 565. ; May and June delivery, Us. 9d. ; and last 3 mouths, 525. 6d. per cwt. The next public sale of foreign and colonial wool is announced for the 29th inst. The quantity already arrived amounts to about 50,000 bales, the greater proportion of which is from Sydney and Port Philip. The quantity will no doubt be largely in creased, as several vessels from the colonies are now overdue. Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton - Market yesterday closed with a dull aspect, and price s Aclined downwards. The sales were esti mated at 7, 000 bales, of which 500 were taken for "Po' t and 1,006 On speculation. In the Railway Share Market a decline took place in all securities except South-Eastern, which maintained Wednes day's quotations. About 10,0001. in Australian gold was sent into th e Bank of England yesterday. It is expected that the remittances by the Shaftesbury will be similarly appropriated. The demand for money is rather more active, but the terms remain steady, although the tend ency is slightly towards an advance. As much as 2 1 per cent. has lately been paid fur the negotiation of the bast kinds of bills whereas 2,1 per cent. was the current charge a short time ago. At the Stock Exchange there are ample facilities, and loans have been granted at 1 and 2 per cent. on Government securities. Business in the City continues extremely quiet, and there is quite a dearth of commercial informa tion. The operations on the Stock Exchange are seduced within narrow limits. Consols are steady, Foreign Stocks nominal, and Shares depressed, through the unfavourable traffics. Among the 'lipping interest there is little doing, and the Mincing lane markets are neglected. The fineness of the weather seems to have promoted a better feel ing, but little or no revival of trade oan yet be reported. It is considered that the worst is passed, and the recovery has commenced, but it is very gradual in its earlier stages, and exercises scarcely any influence, The Funds have not varied even to the extent of it per cent. 17p to one o'clock few bargains bad taken place, and at previous values. Except a Purchase of 10,000/. Reduced there has been nothing to impart the least animation to the market. The influx of gold, and the continued ease in the Money Market support values, even although business is Isn very circumscribed. Consols have been 96i for transfer, and 96i 1 for the account, they are now 96 i and 96/ 1, respectively. The New 3 per Cents, are 95i ; the Reduced, 951 ; Long An nuities, 1 11-16 ; and Bank Stock is 220 to 222. xellequer Bills, 355. to 3 9 5. premium for March, , for June ; Ditto Bonds,looi ; India Bonds, 21s. ; India Stock, 2201 223 ; do.

The farther hearing of this appeal was roomed this morning. Tnis is an appeal from a decision (..f the Court of Session in Scotland. The proceedings arise out of a dispute as to the vali dity of an alleged will under which the appellant claimed as executrix, Dative qua Relict Testamenter, of her deceased husband. An executrix administratrix of the testator Alexander Anderson. It was alleged by the respondents, who are next of kin of the testator, that the will was a forgery. The Judges of the F►rst Division of the Court of Ses sion found that the will was a forgery. And against this deci.ion the appellant appealed to the House of Lords. Mr. Muir resumed hi■ argument for the appellant in support of the appeal. The case rested principally on a comparison of the testator's handwriting, and the evidence produced proved that the pretended signature to the will was a forgery. __ The appellant stated that part of L is evidence bad been improperly excluded, but that the evidence produced was sufficient to support the will. It Is probable that the arguments of counsel will oocupy the whole of this day. The next cause in the appeal paper appointed for hearing before their lordships of the House of Lords, is the appeal case of the Midland Great Western Railway Company of Ireland against Johnson and another. CITY SHERIFF'S COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) ROUSON V. MELHUISH.-QIIETIR ACCOITNTS. The plaintiff is a Licensed Victualler, and sought to recover the sum cf lls. 4d., for beer and bread and cheese supplied. Defendant—Well, I know I owe 10s., and that is all. Plaintiff—l know better ; here is the account, and hereupon she handed in a piece of wood about six inches square, which the sum total was •xac+ly the sum claimed. The production of this original document excited some merriment. Ilia Honour—And have you been foolish enough to come here overa disputed shilling on a public house score! Defendant—l am willing to pay if I have time. PlM:ital . —lle is a waster carpenter and can pay at ones. Defendant—Not a bit of it. I am only a journeyman. Plaintiff—Oh, I know better than that ; you have often said how many people you keep. Defendant —Yes ; I keep eight besides myself, and little money I have to do it on. His Honour. --Master I Well, he does not look much like one. (To defendant)—Do you mean to say you keep seven or eight men / Defendant--No, my I)rd. Seven or eight men ! No, ■sine are all children. (Laughter.) His Honour—Oh, that's quite a different matter. I am afraid they are a kind of journeymen who eat more than they earn. Defendant—That 18 true, your honour. Plaintiff—Oh, but he has got children in Australia. Defendant—But I have got eight at home and no wife. Hie Honour—That is a misfortune ; it would have been well not to have been without money in your pocket ; but this claim is for beer and not for spirits, and only had at dinner time, as you both agree. Aa order was made for payment in six weeks. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. Notwithstanding that tho supply of English wheat on sale here to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was very moderate, the demand for all kinds was in a very sluggish state. Compared with Monday, however, no change took place in prices. Foreign wheat, the show of which was seassonably ex tensive, moved off slowly, but we have no change to notice in the quotations. Floating cargoes of grain commanded very little atten tion. There was a steady inquiry for barley, at very full prices. Malt ■old slowly, yet Monday's prices were supported. The top quotations were 68s. to 691. per quarter. Oats were in moderate supply and fair request, at full prices. For beans, peas, and flour we had a moderate inquiry, at previous currencies.

Two cargoes of oranges, from St. Michael, sold by Keeling and Hunt, at public sale, sustained the prices obtained last week. The cold weather checked the sale of lemons. There is more inquiry for nuts. The stock of all kinds of fruit being light, a firmness exists in the market. LOCAL SHARE MARKET. LIVERPOOL—APRIL 15.

REPRESENTATION OF PORTSILOUTII.—Rear-Admiral Sir H.

Should that report prove title, Admiral Keppel informs the electors that he shall oft r himself as a candidate upon the Liberal interest at the next vacancy, and that he shall take an early opportunity of making a full txplanation of his political views. THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE FRENCH EMPEROR. TRIAL OF SIMON BERNARD-(FIFTII DAY). The trial of Simon Bernard was resumed this morning at ton o'clock. The interest exhibited in the proceed ings increases as the trial approaches its conclusion. The Court to-day was densely crowded. As early as 9 o'clock the avenues of the court were thronged by persons anxious to obtain early admission, and bef .)re half-past 9 the court was half filled. The audience was principally composed of ladies, amongst whom were the Duchess of Manchester, and the Hon. Miss Campbell, the wives of many of the aldermen, and their friends. On the bench wero the Duke of Manchester, the Earl of Lucan, Lord Bingham, Sir R. Mayne. At five minutes past 10'clock, Lord Campbell, the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Justice Erle, and Mr. Justice Cr3wdor, took their seats on the bench, when the pri soner was placed at the bar. Mr. James, in addressing the jury, expressed a hope that the jury would believe him when he said that he felt inadequate to efficiently discharge the onerous duty that devolved on him in entering on the defence of a case which affected the liberties and privileges of the whole civilised world. It had ever been the boast, and no idle one, that it was the duty and the pleasure of the Eng lish bar to render every assistance to the weak against the strong—the oppressed as against the oppressor, and from that spot where ho now stood the illustrious names of Erskine, Brougham, Denman, and lastly the Lord Chief Baron (Pollock) had shed the lustre of their influence in the cause of freedom. The case had been brought before them under extraordinary circumstances. He, however, acknowledged the moderation with which the learned Attorney-General had opened the case ; but be fore they found a verdict for an act which was not con tent with the blood of Orsini and Pierri, but which was to stain an English scaffold with the blood of the pri soner, it was right they should have known and made explained to them upon what principle of law, upon what ground it was that this prosecution was based on this particular act of Parliament. He, however, trusted to be able to show that it had been perverted and wrested from the object which those who framed it intended, and he was speak ing not only his own opinion, but that which was guiding the opinions of the greatest jurists of the pre sent day. The act of Parliament had never before been applied to such cases, and had been pressed against the prisoner under most extraordinary circumstances. He stated that the prosecution had been instituted at the instigation of foreign dictation, for the purpose of bring ing about a state of things which the then Government had not the courage to submit to the English people and the British House of Commons, and the Treasury Solici tor had been called upon to ransack the archives of musty acts of Parliament, and having found one they sought to enforce it against him for wilful murder for the object of encompassing a political object which the Government of the day had not the courage to submit to the English people through the British House of Commons. The learned counsel then referred to the history and origin of the transaction, and in doing so ho said he was not there to counsel assassination. God forbid that he should ever say a word in palliation of assassination. It was a cowardly, dastardly, dark crime, and be would not then stop to discuss the question, whether it was right to get rid of a tyrant by that means. Assassina tioe was a crime at which Englishmen justly shuddered, and it was not to the dagger an oppressed people must look for relief. God in his inscrutable wisdom reserves to tyrants and despots a worse fate than the machinations of man, and history attested the truth that, though Providence allowed for a time a despot to triumph over his people, there reroesoed for hint anin evitable retribution which reached more surely than grenades and the dagger of the assaeein. Livino as we did under the beneficent reign of a constitutional Rove re gn, who lived and reigned iu the hearts of the people, we were unable to understand the feelings of those who lived under the withering blast of despotism. The learned counsel then referred to the attempted assassi nation ; the demand made by France for delivering up the exiles in this country ; the threatening language of the French colonels published in the illoniteur ; the speech of the French ambassador to the Corporation of London. Lord Palmerston's Government pressed for the extradi tion of this and other men who found an asylum here ; to the conspiracy bill of Lord Palmerston and its fate, and they were new asked under a special commission to ask these learned judges round them, not, be would say, to pervert the law, fur they were too high and honourable for that, but toasts them through the verdict of the jury to do that which the late Government had been unable to accomplish, that of sub verting the freedom of asylum in this country. The learned counsel having again referred to the Con piracy Bill of Lord Palmerston, on which Lord Camp bell, the late Attorney-General and others, greatly dif fered, widish the English people would not receive, and which wrecked the noble lord's government, the strongest ' that, perhaps, had been ever known, he referred to the charge preferred before the magistrate of conspiracy, and afterwards turned into felony as an accessory before the fact ; and fie implored the jury not to pervert the law by finding a verdict against the prisoner, and, by so doing, assent in destroying the asylum of exiles, for an act never contemplated and not applied to this case. The prisoner was an Italian, a native of that country which had been almost the birth-place of freedom, but which had now become a political waste and a desolation ; it was not to be wondered at that an organisation should have existed against tyranny, which had not only been lauded by the greatest men of the age, and which had met no favour in the English journals, whenever a French revolution for restoring the liberties of the people had been successful. The Emperor of France bad him self enjoyed the rights of asylum on the shores of England, which he now sought to destroy for ever by the conviction of the prisoner for murder. In 1843, the throne of Louis Philippe was upset, and the republic of Louis Napoleon established, who they knew bad made an attempt from this country on the Government of Louis Philippe. Ho afterwards, in December, 1851, threw himself on the free-will of a generous people. He obtained five millions of their votes, and he was by them placed in a position the greatest that God had ever allowed any man to hold for wielding the liberties and destinies of man. What might he not have done, so placed by the free-will of a people, with the halo of the great name he bore, and which carried him into that position ? In 1848 the Emperor of the French was perched on the height of his ambition, and he then s wore to protect the liberties of the French people. Louis Philippe and Louis Napoleon had then changed places. Louis Napoleon had gone to France, upset the govern merit of Louis Philippe, and taken his throne, Louis Philippe hal lost his throne, and sought refuge in this country ; and it was that right of asylum, which the Conspiracy Bill of Lord Palmerston sought to destroy, they were now asked by their verdict to annihilate, and which Switzerland and Sardinia had determined to pre serve in their respective countries. The learned gen tleman then referred to the wanderings of Louis Napo leon, and said that the sentiments which he had elitins elated from the banks of the Rhine—from the fastnesses of Switzerland and the wild plains of America—induced the most intelligent and generous people in the world— the people of France—to confide their destinies to his baud ; but before the oath was cold on his lips he faltered. (Slight applause, which was immediately sup pressed.) Referring to the attempt of the 14th Jan., the learned•counsel alluded to the number of wounds which the prosecution had stated, said they were as nothing when Louis Napoleon turned the drunken French soldiers on the night of the coup deka loose on men, women, and children, and when the representa tives of the people were seized and thrust into prison, and afterwards transported into the deadly plains of Algiers, and the more deadly swamps of Cayenne, that ha might erect his throne over a mighty people. (Slight applause.) He should be able to show that the attempt to assassinate the Emperor never crossed the prisoner's mind, and that he never for a moment instigated this particular murder. There were no doubts about the facts of the murder which it was sought to connect the prisoner with by three general positions. The first was his connection with Allsop, and through him with the grenades ordered by Allsop, and paid for by him between Oct. and Nov., 1857, but he contended the prosecution had failed to identify the grenades used with those ordered by Allsop. Net one of them bad been traced to his knowledge, though he (Mr. James) admitted that the prisoner knew some -instruments were to be used in an insurrection in Italy, but he never had a hand or part in the sending of those instruments. In order to trace them a man named Georgi had been called before them under peculiar circumstances, and who had a most elastic memory. At the present moment a State war rant impended over his head, which he hoped to avert by g iving evidence that would convict the prisoner, when he would be able to go back and have it arranged. Already he had had twenty-six days' imprisonment, and had now a Brussels State warrant hanging over him; he had sworn in reference to then grenades, first, that there were flee holes in them, and afterwards there were twenty-five, and in the drawing he made of them before the J uge d'lnstruction he represented there were only seven holes ; and after analysing Georgi's evidence the learned counsel contended it ha i failed to prove die prisoner's knowledge of them. With regard to the pistols he did not deny, as he had already sail, that he, with 41 and, were collecting for a political enzeute of which Paris was to be the focus, and Dr. Bernard bad contributed to that supply, but without cognizance of or iu instigating this atteuipt. He wished that proposition to be distinctly understood, and he defied the Crown to prove that Dr. Berea/ d was implicated in instigating this murder. He was connected with Orsini and others for au outbreak and in defence of their liberty, and any attack that might be made against them ; and it was pti aut facie consistent with much of the evidence for the Crown. It was remarkable that with but one exception there had been no attempt on the part of the prisoner to conceal his name. There was no concealment when he sent the pistols, nor when ho obtained his passport. More arms, no doubt, would have been sent by bias had , not Qrsitii, in a fatal moment, made this deplorable i attempt. A letter of Allsop's had been read in e vidence. Their lordships had decided the law that the letter could be read, but its weight rested with the jury ; and if their verdict on it was adverse, no man ill this country would be safe who received a letter, which he nev- r answered, and which he carelessly t h r ew aside. The letter contained a reference to the Society of Friends, of 1 8 5 S. Poland ; and the learned counsel appealed to 'he jury to say if they were suffering in a similar manner they would not organise a society for the regeneration of their country. No remarks had ever been known to have escaped the lips of Bernard to the prejudice of the Em peror of the French. What did Rogers, the spy (and he fearlessly called him a spy in an English court of justice), say against Dr. Bernard, when he attended the discus sions at Wyld's, in Leicester-square ? Why, that Dr. Bernard, and those with him, were discussing the ad vantages of constitutional governments over those of despotism. Gracious God ! what bad they come to. He warned the jury that, under such circumstanc,e, t o be careful how they attended a public meeting ; and, as for Roger 4, he had better go and report in the House of Commons, where he would hear stronger lan guege used against the Emperor of the French by those who had the cc u alga to do so t' al in Wyld's i oom n Leicester-square, and which was delivered from the hustings in this country in 1848. The case mainly rested on the evidence of Mrs. Rudio. Her husband was a ready man and no doubt joined iu an expedition with Orsini, but what his connection with Orsini was no one ' but himself, Bernard, and Orsini knew, and now three months had closed and no explanation could be given, though Bernard denied having been instrumental in hiring a man to commit assassination. Interfe►e I with, as Mrs Rudio had been by the police, she had given her evidence with infinite honour, for the efforts of the prosecution had failed to cause her to swerve from the truth. But what the transaction in which these men were engaged might easily have been ascertained by calling Rudio. He might have been brought here, and they would have known the real state of the cree, for it was absurd to say he could be set at liberty by a habees corpus, fet by the exiraditi in treaty he could have beers demanded and must have been given up to the French authorities. All the circumstances', the money and means possessed by Orsini showed the ob ject was to arm for rising against a body of troops, and not for the purpose of committing a miserable cowardly and dastardly attack on an individual. It was as much the surprise of Bernard when he heard of the attempt that it was committed by Orsini. It is more strange that in England the only documents found on the prisoner were only letters of an old date, and had no reference to the attack. Orsini, with the cold band of death uvon him, had made a statement consistent with Bernard's defence, and as Rudio had not been called, he implored them, for the sake of the prisoner's life, to coo eider seriously the question that upon either Orsini, Rudio, and Pierri, no document or scrap of paper had been found that implicated the prisoner, and, what was more, that the Freeni system of plice, which permeated every home and bulling, and was as complete and perfect now as in the time of the Committee of Public Safety when the wife of a man's bosom was bribed to be the spy on hie conduct, bad not been able to trace that any communi cation had passed between them through the post-office, to eho w that he knew anything of the 'ae,aleeirrprise whir h Orsini by the madness of the moment had been led to commit. He thought enough had been done in the dim twilight of the morning when Orsini and Pierri were executed to expiate this crime ; and he called upon the jury to vindicate the law cf England, without fear and without being deterred by the threats of the French Emperor—the formation of large armaments—not even by the dread of 600,000 bayonets. The learned counsel's address was listened to through out with breathless attention, and at its close was loudly cheered. The Court then adjourned for a short time ; on re suming, TheAttorney-General rose to reply on the whole case. He said—The time had now arrived for him to sum up to them the evidence for the prosecution, and the time was not now far distant when they would have to per form their part. In diechargiug his duty he would en deavour to coufine himself within the law and practice of our courts in questions of this kind. Let it not be supposed that he censured his friend Mr. James in asking them, in a strain of eloquence rare in courts of justice, that he had transgressed the bounds of an advocate, al though he had introduced a variety of topics in the ceur-e of his address. He was induced to say so much because it was not Lis duty to follow him through them, but endeavour to bring their minds back to the real questions they bad to consider and de cide on. He first proceeded to disabuse their mind of the dream of his learned friend that this trial, bef ire 'earned judges of the land, in a British court of justice, and before a British jury, that the prosecution had been instigated or promoted by the French Government or any other persons hut those who were able to direct such a prosecution in this country. The late Attorney- General instituted this inquiry, from certain circum stances laid before him, that there was evidence to show that the prisoner was implicated with Orsini and others in a conspiracy to murder. The case was brought before a magistrate when certain evidence was given, and the case assumed an aspect that led the leazated counsel elm conducted the case and the worthy magistrate before whom it was preferred to commit the prisoner as an accessory before the murder. No musty Act of Parliament had been ransacked under which to bring this charge, for it was one passed in the last year of the life of George IV., and under circumstances which most of them recollected. It was not the Government who made this charge, but the learned magistrate before whom the prisoner was exa mined, believing he was bound to do so under the terms of the act of Parliament, and it non came before them as a British jury to decide on the guilt or innocence of the prisoner on the evidence produced, and not on the eloquence of the learned coun sel for the prisoner. He expressed his confidence in their impartial decision, and said, in reference to the learned counsel's remarks on the silence of him (the learned Attorney-General), why this charge had been made. Happily this was the first case of its kind that had occurred iu this country, and it was not to be won dered at, if this was the first time that the country had been so disgraced, that this was the first time such a charge had been preferred, and he defended his conduct in conducting the present prosecution. If such at attack had been committed in this country on the per son of our beloved Queen, and many had been wounded, what would they base said to a foreign Government who bad thought fit to refuse justice, on the ground of dictation ? There was not a person in this country who would not be gratified on finding, at the termination of the trial, that the country had been relieved of the stain on it, and he asked the jury to restore him to lib, r y without a stain upon his character, if they believed hi n innocent, but if, on th 3 contrary, then ke called upon them to discharge their duty irrespective of what would follow. The prisoner was charged as an accessory before the fact, and the law was, that it any person sup plied any means, by which these persons, Orsini, Rudio, and Pierri could have assassinated the Emperor of the French, or attempt to do any grievous bodily harm to him, and if they, in m a ki ng t h at attempt, however un willing, sacrificed the lives of other persons, then they who did that act were guilty of murder, and those who assisted them as accessories before the fact. It was perfectly immaterial whether they had any inten tion of destroying these particular individuals named in the indictment, and he (the Attorney-General) charged the moral responsibility belonging to the guilt of these wholesale murders to every one of the parties directly or indirectly using the implements employed. The learned counsel at great length and minuteness entered into the facts detailed in the evidence, pointing out the portions which he urged completely made out the charge against the prisoner. Two questions alone was left to theta on the evidence—first, whether the instruments supplied to Orsini and his assistants were the same grenade 4 or a portion of them, which Mr. Taylor manufactured, Alleop paid for, and Orsini and his associates commit ted the murders, or whether there were other instru ments mauufactured, purchased, and obtained else where, and conveyed to Brussels for another different purpose. The remaining question, however humanely and merci fully they wished to judge of the prisoner's conduct, fled of which he (the learned Attorney-General) thought it was impossible for them to entertain a shadow of a doubt, was the knowledge of the prisoner of the unlaw ful purposes for which these instruments wore pro cured. The learned counsel referred to the cross-examination of the witness, that the shells were made for the improvement of gas, aid the admission of the prisoner's counsel that they were to be used for a general rising on the continent, and said he was at a loss to know what was the line of defence relied on by the prisoner. He must, however, take it both ways, and he argued that either wa y th e ev id ence b a d I made out his case. At the conclusion of the learned Attorney• General's address., the court adjourned, ..._ Tne summing up will commence at the sitting of the court to-morrow. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(Ting Day.)

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SIIN. Slit,—Observing that the Times and several of your contemporaries are severe in their strictures on Lord Derby's Bill for what they term shirking the responsibility of the Indian Bill, it is desirable that their attention should be called to the plain fact, that the feelings of the present Government, or these of any other on the subject, may be easily understood, they have, no doubt, a due sense ef their own morit e and think they can govern India better than it was done before, and are not averse to have the power and patronage of India placed in their halide for this purpose, but they probably do not much relish a council which will lessen their power and patronage, and be a check on their con duct. The for ma ti on of an effective Indian Coun cil will only into their by th e H ouse o f C ommons taking the bill their own hands. Wo want a council that can act as well as advise, and have sufficient power to thr ow a check upon incompe tence in an Indian Minister, to rec;:lillist aier'smay Governor- General, f. to appoint Members of Caoillidncailppinoilnntdia, r it is much to be feared that the jobbe r y an d patronage gi interest t o e f i esiotm and some fu not tur to merit, e Ca t e ue t t in competent scions of the nobility, wholly i gnorant of India, to the highest offices, as Secretary of State, Governor-General, itee, whose gross errors, jobbery, and patronage,tionege, may convulse, and even lose India ; ate! consider how England will de scend in the rink of nations if it loses India. An effectiVe council for India, such as I have proposed, a Cebinet of Ministere will be in no hurry to intro duce. The lurlian Bill is evidently one which the House of Commons should take into their own hands. This the sound judgment of Lord John Russell at once perceived, when he moved that it should be discussed by resolutions in the house. This bill should be proceeded with at once, as the mutiny in India has strongly engros ed the public mind, and at no future period will the subject re ceive so much attention and consideration as at present ; in fact, if deferred, interest may die away, and a bill be smuggled through Parliament. The causes of the Indian mutiny may he easily seen through. Lord Palmerston's arbitrary dis position, which led him to support unfit officials—his passion for raising rows, cape malls for engaging in wars with potty States, as China and Persia—what is vulgarly termed humbug in Indian officials, which lead them to manner im po r theth a t B d e is n cgiVl discipline owyass whollyin so extraordinary ; hey bably thought they would recommend themselves to advancement th ere b y . Lord Ellenboreugh's Indian Council is a very clever idea, and solves a difficulty which seemed to be insurmountable here. 'With the fullest power and responsibility in the Minister, we have a perfectly independent Council, in which he can exercise no favour or pa tronage, though the half of it is selected by himself, as, by terms of selection, members can be only chosen on account of qualifications, over which he has no control. Whereas in Lord Palmerston's Council he might have selected all the members from his own supporters, however incompetent. It is much to be hoped that the House of Parlia ment will give over party feeling on this bill, and not obstruct the measures of Government for the purpose of thwarting a Minist e r. What is the utility of having a despot in power sure of a majo rity who can pass any measures or bill he pleases Wars with petty nations, tie at last we had a Con spiracy Bill which would hive placed the whole of England under the dominion of spies, and any man's house might have been broken into upon the accusation of any one who chose to accuse him of whit was declared to be a felony. What did we obtain from the cleverness of another popular Minister, Sir It. Peel, but the income tax ? There is one point upon which I hope the Government wilt not shi'k responsibility, that is as regards the lights of the creditors of the East India Com pany, to have a provision made for the payment of their debts or claims that will pay them.—l have the honour to be, your obedient servant, London, April 14, 1858. YERITAS. TIIE COTTON QUESTION AND SLA VERY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —There being generally two sides to every question, and as, I believe, The Suu wishes its readers to be fairly and impartially informed on any important question, I beg to forward you the following on the Cotton question anti Slavery. At a dinner of the Cotton Supply Association, which came off last week, Mr. Ashworth said— " The time was at hand when slavery would be done away with. Beside, in America they could not now manure their cotton-fields ; therefore we must seek out new lands and countries to supply us. The Americans would supply us it they could, but he was convinced, from what he had seen, they could not do it." Mr. Russell, in his work on " North America and Cotton," at page 134, says—" Guano has beau applied to many of the worn-out lands (in Mary land) in raising wheat, with highly satisfactory re sults." Page 165—" The soil being so poor upon which sea-island cotton is raised, that most of it is manured with a compost of cow-pen manure and vegetable stuff from the swamps. Guano has also been applied to a considerable extent in raising cotton." Page 203—" Until the institution of slavery be weakened, as it was in Europe, by the redundancy of the predial population, I have as little hope of slavery relaxing its grasp in the United States for many years to come, as of people denying them,elves the luxuries of cotton, sugar, and tobacco. I have failed to discover a single ele ment in active operation which points to a different conclusion. At a moderate estimate, the slaves in the United States are worth at present (1856) 450,000,0001. No scheme of emancipation has been proposed that would not be attended with a sacrifice of property, which it is in vain for us to expect to be made. Thus slavery, I fear, will not loosen its grasp till labour, which is at present ob tained by coercion, can be otherwise obtained through the force of circumstances." Page 228 "Au able-bodied slave is worth from 401. to 501. sterling more in Louisiana than Cuba, though the climate of the latter is greatly superior to the former for the ,growth of sugar-cane." Mr. Stirling, in his " L tters from the Slave States," at page 174, says—" There are some 400,000,000 acres of available cotton-lands in the South. Of these 28,000,000 only are cultivated, the rest a desert, there being no hands to till it." Page 182—" I believe that cotton growing in the Gulf States can defy all competition." Mr. Olmsted, in his "Our Slave States," at page 55, says—" The cash value of a slave for sale above the cost of rearing it from infancy to the age at which it commands the highest price, is generally considered among the surest elements of a planter's wealth. . . . In the States of Maryland, Vir ginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Missouri, as much attention is paid to the breeding and growth of slaves as to that of hor s e s an d mu l es, and that it was estimated that a negro baby was worth 200 dols. the moment it drew breath." 1 am, sir, THE OTHER SIDE OF THE QUESTION. Aprill4, 1858. The mail which will bring full particulars of tto cap ture of Lucknow and the flight of the 50,000 rebel Sepoy.., will be due in London on Monday next. The camp of Chalons is to be exclusively composed of • troops of the line to the number of 50,000 men. The French Council of State has postponed the Pro ject of Law modifying the tax on railroad shares and other such public securities to next year.

THE CASE OF TIIE REV. S. SlllTll.—Sitne Mr. Smith's emtinement his appearance has considerably altered, and we understand that a medical examination, which has b€en wade since his conviction, has resulted in the discovery that he is suffering from consumption, which has destroyed one of his lungs. The high sheriff and some of the magistrates, therefore, propose to me morialise the Home Secretary either to commute his sentence or to send him to Bermuda, the climate of which is favourable to the disease under which be laboure. Mrs. Smith was liberated on bail on Wed nesday, her sureties being, we believe, her husband's brother and hie cousin, an artist at Gloucester. She visited her unfortunate husband on Wed nesday and Thursday in the prison. We hear that Mr. Smith bears up manfully against his misfortune!, ntlan d hopes that successful eff o rts will be made to obtain his removal to a colony. There is no doubt that a petition will be got up at Gloucester for remittin; his sentence s and that it will be numerously signed is a matter of cer• tainty.—Chatothani EXCLMinfr. 100 i
