Nor could you rely on the n oMce, at the Theatre, wisdom of a judge who had never practised as an advocate. No wonder, then, we repeat, that the administration of justice in the Provincial Courts in India should be defective, and give abundant reasons for complaint to the people. Mr. BRIGHT'S plan of making five Presidencies f co-ordinate and cc-equal powers would never answer, at least until electric chains had been laid flown which would enable the Home Government to communicate almost instantaneously with, and convey its orders to, the Indian authorities. Until that is accomplished, there must be a single representative of the SOVEREIGN having control over all the others. The question might be taken then into consideration ; at present it is decidedly premature, and unripe for decision. That the taxation has been of a very onerous and oppressive character, and that works which would materially have increased the national revenue, and with it enhanced the welfare and prosperity of the natives, have been neglected, is indisputable. We have long proclaimed the de plorable facts, and earnestly protested against the renewal of the East India Company's Charter in 1853. The Anglc-Indian Empire was, however, in that year handed over to the tender mercies of Sir CHARLES WooD, whose only effort was to main tain matters in statu quo The then representa tives of the people could not listen to his dreary harangues, nor endure his frivolous platitudes. Consequently, they let him do just as he liked, and the result was the bill, which is now ad mitted to have been one of the gravest legislative mistakes of modern years. It was of late years that the policy of annexa tion, and the total disregard of the Hindoo sys tem of adoption, were carried to the highest point —that those who were most faithful to the Eng lish Government were deprived of their territories, and victimised without the slightest regard to equity or justice. These things produced very evil results, and were some of the causes that led to the terrible mutiny and rebellion that has cost so many valuable lives, and so much blood and treasure. Had there been a Minister responsible to Parliament, and had the fiction of the supposed Government by the Leadenhall-street Board been abolished, these things could not have happened. An interest would have been felt in the affairs of India equal to that respecting any other portion of the British dominions ; but the effect of the " Double Government" was to produce apathy and indifference, and to lead to the most interest ing questions relating to the Eastern Empire being discussed to "a beggarly account of empty benches 1" It is more than probable that Sir CHARLES WOOD was the exciting cause of the Indian disturbance. A judicious Minister would, iven at the Board of Control, have conciliated the inhabitants respecting their conscientious views, and refrained from outraging their pre judices, however unreasonable they might be.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA CO VENT-GARDEN. NEW THE kTRE. GRAND EXTRA NIGHT. LES HUGUENOTS. ON MONDAY NEXT, JUNE 28. The nobi ity, gentry, and the public are most respectfully informed that, on account of the shortness of the preset season, it is not possible that more than Four Extra Nights can be given. The first of these nights will take place on Monday next, June 28, on which occasion will ba repeated Meyerbeer's grand opera, East Norfolk is all alive just now with a hotly contested election. The struggle is between two parties of landlords. Shall Whig tenant-drivers cr Tory Tenant-drivers beat—that is the question. Having, for certain private reasons of our own, a special affection for the good old county of Norfolk, we have taken a circuit amongst old electoral friends in the now seething and bubbling constituency ; we have thought it worth while to refresh our recollections of a regular county conteat, and surely enough we have found it in the main just what it ever was—a battle bet weep landlords, an I between others who are lords as well as land lords. To be sure it is with a difference. Public houses are not opened as in the good old days before the Reform Bill ; nor will they be opened for the week together to treat voters who think t better to drink at the candidat.'s expense than to give their vote prematurely. There were, indeed, in that day proportionately more j 11y, "free, and independent, electora,"- who could not reasonably think of voting for a shabby champion of either side. The rank and file of party men in these days, however, consisted of the faithful 'enants—very faithful to their landlords' right to +I what he would with his own ; and that class ha?, of course, been largely recruited, and become every way more w,rkable since the enactment of the 501. tenant-Pt-will clause, mad the division of ihe counties. Both parties are canvassing most energetically, but it is for RA or Blue, not for princip!e. T►he two candidates, indeed, are men whose names out of Norfolk probably none of our readers have heard of, txcept as the name of the father of one of them is wel known to every politician of the past generation. Neither of them in their addresses thinks it worth while to go into any detail of their political opinions. Sir HENRY STRACEY thinks whatever Lord -------- now thinks or may thick ; the Honourable C. W. COKE thinks whatever his father did think, or at least he tells the :lonstituency he is his fathet's son. The candidates are indeed but party pegs ; neither of them cAres much about anything but putting M.P. after his name ; nor apparently do the larger part of the voters, we shonld say the landlords, care for much more than putting in the red or the blue man, as the case may be. It is an lffair of colour, not of polities. The farming tenants, of course, have little to say on the poli tical aspect of the contest. It is no business of theirs. They must vote as they are ordered. There are among them plenty of men who could think for themselves, bat it is useless to do it. Some do form their own opinions of public affairs ; but they, too, are equally bound to vote for their landlords' opinions. On all sides you only hear that in such a parish Squire This is red ; so it is of no use the blues canvassing there ; or that in another parish, Squire That is blue, so the reds may save their gigwheels and shoeleather there. From all that can be ascertained by a stranger there is no earthly reason why an earnest liberal, and no-party man, should step over his thresh hold to vote for one more t.ian for the othcr. " Lord DERBY," says one candidate, "My father," says the other. Some will think that " a living dog is better than a dead lion," and that as Lord DERBY lives, and has just done some capital Liberal work both at Naples and at home, that voting for au avowed DERBYITE is sub stantially goo d Lib eral i sm. Others argue that DERBY principles are a fluctuating quantity ; that the principles of the late Taos. WM. COKE, Earl of LEICESTER, are a fixed quantity, and that he . is voting for the son of the staunch old " Whig, and something more ;" they, therefore, know what they vote for. It may be so, but we really question whether Mr. COXE knows much of what his father's principles were, except that he always hotly opposed Writ. PITT, and always voted against, or at least never for, any tax, Thus much may be said for the Peer's son, that if he ho as much in advance of his own times as his Either was of his, he would well deserve Liberal support ; and thus much for Sir H. STRACEY, 'that if ho will but avow himself a follower of Lord DERBY'S son, rather than Lord DERBY himself, of the latter part, we mean, of Lord DERBY'S Cabinet rather than of its lag-behind part, it would puzzle many Liberals to say why they should refuse him their support. But now, looking at the broad features of the case, we should strongly advise the Liberals of Eest Norfolk to take a very decided course with the son of the late Eirl of LEICESTER. They should tell him that it is of no use for him or his party to disguise the fact, that the Conservatives in, office have, during the last few months, proved themselves quite as good Liberals as the Whigs in office ; that it is, indeed, notorious that the Liberal party has practically gained more from them than from the Whigs. That it is of no avail to tell us that their concessions are all made from weakness, or to gain popularity, as we have never, since the Reform Bill, wrung from the Whigs a single popular measure but for the very same reasons. That, therefore, their demand is to know what the Hon. Mr. COKE will vote for that Sir H. STRACEY will not. Will the Whig candi date vote for the unconditional abolition of Church rates ? Will he vote for the equalization of the Borough and County Franchise now, and for a large extension of both in a new Reform B►ll ? And, above all, will he vote for the Ballot ? The son of Mr. COKE ought to be reminded that his father always distinctly told two or three Tory tenants, whom he had on his estate, that he wished them to vote in accordance with their principles. That it is too apparent everywhere, that he must have seen and known it in his can vas, that the numerous tenant voters are necessi tated, without inquiry, to vote with their land lords, and that numerous other persons are equally unable to disoblige a mortgagee, a banker, a lawyer, a customer, or a creditor; that the first step, therefore, in political Reform is to make the present voters independent—to raise them, in fact, to the dignity of electors, and to deliver them from political serfdom. If the Hon. Mr. Cots cannot trust the free choice of the people, let him say so. If he can, he has no need to fear the Ballot. We believe that venerated as the memory of his father will long be in the county, as the father of Norfolk agriculture, no man would stand a better chance of a fair trial as a county member than one of his sons. But if that son cannot trust to the free votes of the electors, he is unworthy of their confidence ; if he can, he cannot then refuse them the BALLOT. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT GA RDEN. Rossini's delightful opera, "II Barbiere di Sivi glia," was repeated here last night under the most favourable auspiceg. The role of Rosina was taken by Madame Bosio, to whom it is admirably adapted. The florid character of the music affords full scope for the display of her brilliant vocalization, and her execution of the more elaborate passages evinces all her accustomed talent. Signor Roucotd's impersonation of Figaro is too well known to need comment, and he fully maintains his repu•ation. Signor and Madame Tagliafico sustained their accustomed parts with average ability, anti Signor Mill', as tho Count exerted his powers to full advantage. The minor part] were cAupetently filled. The billet divertissement of "La Bresilienne' followed, and a large and brilliant audience evidently derived much gratification from the evening's entertainment. ST. JAMES'S THEATRIL-MADAME BISTO Id. On Wednesday evening Madame Ristori added another to her hit of successes by her impersona tion of " Adrienne Lecouvreur." The versatile ability she displayed in this performance, her in tuitive perception of the character, and her won derful delineation of the last terrible struggle, were sufficient to assure the lovers of high dramatic art that the reign of tragedy is not yet ended, and that though one great artiste has passed from among us her throne is not left vacant. Madame Ristori's representation of this character filly iisplayed her power of pourtraying the gentler emotions and feminine instincts—a power not always united with the intensity of tragic declamation. Her capabilities for depicting physical as well as mental suffering wz.re fully shown by her rendering of the scenes after opening the fatal casket, and her recitation of the passage from Phedre was highly impressive. The play has been translated with tolerable fide'ity, and loses little by its appearance in another language. The ether members of the company acquitted themselves with credit, and the stic_a ss of the performance was unquestionable. This evening, Madam i Ristori will appear in Al fieri's tragedy of " Ottavia," and on Monday, " Phedre " will be repeated. ROY AL YACHT SQUADRON LNZELLIGENCE. CowEs, June 2f.

The foreign and colonial produce markets during the last few days have been moderately active. Sugar has been at steady rates, and in the refined market prices fir dried goods have been a shade easier. The finer qualities of plantation Ceylon coffee have been inquii ed for at about former rates, but inferior descriptions are at a slight decline. Cocoa, rice, and rum h tve been dull, and at public sale prices were a shade lower. Spices have been at steady rates. For saltpetre there is still an active demand for the superior qualities, and full rates are current, but for the inferior descriptions there is only a moderate inquiry. Tallow remains steady; P.Y.C. on the spot is quote 1 525. 6d. ; July to September, 51s. ; and last three months, 50s. 6d. per cwt. Letters from Liverpool m-ntion that the Cotton Market yesterday closed firmly, and the values of all kinds tended upwards. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales, 3,000 of which were taken by the exporters, and 1,000 by the speculators. The Rail way Share Market exhibited a very quiet and rather dull appearance, and prices slightly declined. The discount requirements at the termination of the quarter are far more numerous than was ex pee' e 1, for during the last few days there has been a slight degree of pressure, causing some activity among the banking interest, and increased firmness in the terms of accommodation. After such a lengthened period of inactivity and plethora, this change, limited as it is iu reality, attracts attention not only hero but also in Paris. This morning's advices menion that some large speculative pur ch3ses of Rentas were made yesterday, upon the supposition that the Bank would reduce the rate to 3 per Cent., but the accounts add, that such an alteration was impro bable, when the tendency of money here was so much in the other difeciion. From this it woull appeir that financial movements are being carefully wa'clied ; the recent position of the market was not likely to continue, and although the distribution of the dividends during July and August may pi oduce renewed ease, the progress of trade, end the development of joint stock entt r prise must lead to occasional changes. There is no prospect of stringency—at least during the present year—but the terms, it is believed, will gradually advance. There was a meeting to-day of the Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford Company,for consider ing two bills in Parliament ; one for diverting part of the line at Aberdare, and the other assent ing to the Worcester and Hereford Company taking additional time for the construction of their line.

The Northern Light steamer has arrived from New Ywk, which place she left on the 12th inst. She brings 80 passengers for this port and 140 for Bremen ;no specie. She has proceeded on to Bremen. The Asia and the Nova Scotia had arried out. A message to Congress from Prtsident Buchanan announced the entry of Governor Cumming into Salt Lake City and his installation into the Gover norship of the territory. The Mormon settlements were broken up, and the inhabitants moving south in the direction o Sonora. Advices received at Washington from Lieut. Rodgers state that Lieut. Pym, of the Jasper, had informed him that he had orders from the Admiral to search for the Styx and stop her high-handed proceedings, and that the Devastation was at Ha vannah for the same purpose. Lieut. Pym ex- pressed the greatest surprise tbat the course of the British cruisers had caused an irritation in the United States, and informed Lieut. Rodgers that they were acting under no new orders, but only carrying out those issued in 1819. The news by the Asia of the Derby Government having shut out Gr.ters to the West India fleet to stop the visits to American vest4els had created a favourable impression in New Yotk, and the diffi culty was considered at an end. The Senate and the House of Representatives were at issue on the Ocean Mail question. The former bad authorised a contract w ith th e Collins line from New York to Southampton for 346,500 and also authorising the Postmaster-General to cause the mails to be conveyed from any Ameri can port to Europe for the postages received, and adopt other measures for the marl service. All the Senate's amendments were rejected in the bowie ; this action cutt ng, off the appropriation to Coiling. In the house the Senate amendment to the Naval Appropriation Bill, providing for the consiructuni of five propellers and one side-wheel steamer for the China seas, was amended, by increasing the number of propellers to 10. This proposition had been rejected by the Senate, but it was said the house would insist. The schooner yacht Wanderer and the schooner Charter Hop© had been seized in Long Island Sound by the revenue cutter Ilarr'et Lane, on suspicion of being about to engage in the slave trade, but 'no proof was obtained, and they were released. Telegraphic communication with New York wa materially interfered with on the afternoon and evening of the 11th by heavy thunderstorms. The market was quiet for money and exchange. Rates on London easier than for previous steamer. Bank b lls ranged 109 to 109 k per cent. There was not much business for the Northern Light. Stock market more irregular. Prices had an upward tendency, an advance being realised in several in stances. All the South Carolina banks resumed specie payments on the Bth. New York cotton-market without animation on the 11th. Sales were confined to ab ail 400 or 500 bales, closing dull at 111 for middling. Uplands flour heavy, especially for inferior and lower grades, while a fair amount of mks were made for home use, including some lots for export. Prime qualities of wheat scarce, and little offering. Corn sold rt 65:1e. to 66c. for New Orleans, mixed sound ; western ditto, at 66c. to 70c. ; and yellow ditto at 75c. to 76c. Pork dull. Sugars less active and steady. Coffee quiet, prices unchanged. Advance in freights sustained, and engagements to a fair extent. PRUSSIA. EBRLIN, T EVING. The great heat of th seas o n, the URSDAY accounts from the various districts state, has produced a disas trous effect on the crops of cereals in most of the ern growing districts of Prusia. The clop of gra&i, too, is so shout that much grain will have to be devoted to cattle ,coding. On t e contrary letters from Konigsberg report that the ha rves t w ill b e most successful in the north of Poland and the neighbouring district of Russia. The Austrian Imperial Council is said to have determined on the plan of reorganising the Pro vincial Chambers. The liberty allowed by the Czar to the Chamber of Nobles, in discussing the question of the emanci pation of the serfs, has frightened the Cabinet of Vienna out of the system of centralisation so long established. The fire that broke out at Dantsic on the even ing of the 19th, continued to rage the whole of the night, and was not subdued till 8 o'clock the next morning. The Fire Brigade of KonigAberg, which was appri4ecl of the disaster by telegraph, arrived too late to render any assistance. The conflagra tion has destroyed 55 houses ; five persons perished in the fiatibit. The damage is estimated at 1,000,000 of thalers ; the chief part of the loss is covered by insurance in the Gotha and LeiptsiG companies. LES' HUGUENOTS.

The Government of Inda Bill was last night read a second time. As we anticipated there was no division. The conflicts will take place during its progress through Committee. Mr. BRIGHT, however, entered into an elaborate criticism of the measure, not for the purpose of causing its rejection, for he declared that he would support it if there were a division, but ra'her of explain ing his own peculiar views, and suggesting what might be the future of India, if we were prepared to surrender our empire and restore the native States. Such a course will, however, hardly be adopted, even in deference to the Hon. Member. There are too many important issues at stak-, too many interests to be regarded, to permit of laclia course. We believe that the British supre macy viPl give far greater prosperity and happi ness to the inhabitants than if their native rulers should be restored to the power which, in the majority of instances, they had justly forfeited. That there have been many abuses and many grievances is unquestionable. The administration of justice has been peculiarly defective, but that has mainly arisen from the mode in which the Judges have been appointed. The interests of the members of the Civil Service were alone regarded. if a man proved to be an insufficient diplomatist or collector, he was pitcbfolked on to the Judicial Bench, not on account of his quail& cations for the office, but as a means of provision'' for himself. There was no check or restraint, no bar to criticise his proceedings, so public opinion e . censureerroneous judgments.

Oar readers will probably recollect that in the summer of 1846 great excitement existed in Dagenham and its neighbourhood, in consequence of the discovery of the body of George Clarke, a policeman of the K Division, %hose body was found amongst some standing corn, in a field on his beat. His head was nearly severed from his body, his skull was broken, and there were other marks and injuries upon his body which left no doubt of his having been foully and brutally murdered. Every inquiry was instituted at the time to diecover the murderers, but without success, and their discovery was considered hopeless. At the time of the murder coroner's inquest was held on the body, before Mr. Lewis, the coroner, at the Cross Keys, Dagenham, which was adjourned from time to time, and at . the end of two months the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown. Since that time suspicion had rested on certain individuals, but nothing had transpired since then until within "the last few weeks, when information was communicated to Sir Richard Mayne, chief commissioner of police, who deemed it advisable to institute further inquiries, 'and take the necessary proceedings for apprehending ahe party implicated ; and for tbat purpose he placed .the matter in the bands of Inspector Whicher, of the metro politan detective police force, one of the most efficient members of the force, who has succeeded in apprehend ing the murderer, and lodging him in Ilford gaol. The information referred to recta on the statement of a -ev.o man names Smith, wife of a labourer of that name.re sie.ing at Dagenham, and the reason assigned by .her for making known the facts arises from her being troubled in mind, and a fear of death without divulging them. It appears that Mrs. Smith was first married to a man named Page, - who was impl•cated in the mur der ; and her statement is, that at the time of the mur dtr she was living with her first husband Page , at Dagenham. On the evening of the 29th June, the night of the murder, her husband came home about eight o'clock, and had his tea. He informed her that he was going to meet Ned Wilcocks at George Blewett'e, the man now in custody, fur the purpose of stealing oorn from Mr. Brittain, a farmer, in whose employ Page and Blewett were. He, however, afterwards said he would not join them, and he and his wife went to bed about 10 o'clock. She was, however, awoke about 11 o'clock by her husband dressing himself, and in reply to some thing she said to him, but which she could not then-re collect, he said to her, " Now, for your impudence, you shall get up and go with me," and he made her dress herself and accompany him to George Blewitt'e cottage, which was situate near Mr. Brittain's barn. At Blewett's oettege they found Blewett, Ned Wood, and George Clarke. They remained in the cot tage till near twelve o'clock, when Blewett said to her husband (Page), " Now, then, Bill, its time for us to be going," and they rose to leave, bat before going out one of them said, "if the b---1 policeman interferes we'll settle him." They then Lall proceeded to the barn, her husband leaving her to watch outside to give an alarm if a policeman or any other per eon came in that direwion. The four men entered the barn with false keys Blewett had in his possession, and after they had been there about five minutes she saw * policeman coming round the corner of the barn ; she ine tnediatelyran to the door and gave an alarm,ealling to bar husband, " Bill, Bill, the policeman is coming." Her - husband came out of the barn with a stick in his hand, known among agriculturists in the neighbondhood as at " loading stick,'' and some of the others had forks is their hands. Her husband said to the policeman, " What the b—v 11--1 are you watching us for ! The policeman replied,. ' 1 Because it is my duty to watch you." He was then seized by the men, and her hus band struck him several severe blows with the stick on the upper part of the body, and called . to the others to "come on, the b--y policeman it here." Mrs. Smith was so frightened at what had oc curred that she 'says she ran off to Blewett'e cottages where there was only a child, and afterwards she ran to her own house. About 2 o'clock in the morning her husband came home, and they lit a fire and burned his smock and trowsere, which were smeared with blood. He went out again about 4 o'clock that morning, telling his wife that if any inquiries were made about him to say that he went to bed at 10 o'clock, where he had remained till 4 o'clock the following morning. O e the Saturday evening following the discovery of the body, which did not take place till some days after he was • missed, she, her hu,band Page, and Blewett went to Rumford, and as they were going along the road Blewett • said to her husband, " Who would have thought of see ing him (the policemen) there—did you Bill ?" He said No; but we will served him out far his trouble. ° Blewett replied, " Yes, but I never thought it would have come to that ;" and when about to part, her husband Said to Blewett, "I have a good mind to serve her (his wife) the same, to get rid of her." But Blewett replied, " Don't do that Bill, it will only be making bad wor=e" Her husband Page was accidentally killed about 12 months after the murder. It is a singular fact, in connection with this mysterious affair, that most of the persons alleged by Mrs. Smith to have participated in the murder have n.et with violent deaths., She lin plicatee five persons. Her husbend, as stated above, who was accidentally killed ; tleorge Blewett, the man in custody ; Ned Wood, who afterwards hung himself; Ralph Page, a small farmer, who was waiting to receive the stolen corn, who poisoned himself about six years since; and Chalk, who is trippoied now to be is Australia.
