WESTMINSTER SESSIONS-(T HIS DAY). Thee Sessions commenced this morning before FRA NCIS CeNsT, Esq., and every full Bench of Magistrates. Thomas Wilde was indicted for stealing a quantity of heks, the property of his father, and John Groom, fur t teeiving the same knowing them tO be stolen. bd Wilde, who is a lad of weak intellect, pleaded guilty, was fined a shilling and discharged. He was after ttrds called as a witness againat Groom, and deposed that h e was tempted to steal the articles by the prisoner offeriag him 6d. so to do. The CHAIRMAN told the Juty it would be dangerous to convict the prisoner on the unsupported evidence of the thief. The Jury being of the same opinion, returned a ttrodict of Not Guilty. TLe calendar is extremely heavy, when it is considered that only five weeks have elapsed since the last Sessions. There are thirty-two charges of felony ; more than that tumber of misdemeanours, beside s assault cases. The total number of prisoners confined in the small NI of Tothill-field s are no less than two hundred and ,ighteen. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). N ERA I.

SIR,—Not having contributed in pounds ster ling to the " Eldon Testimonial," permit me to atone for such omission by tendering, for the ap probation of the " Statue Committee," the ac companying " Inscription." The sketch is, I am aware, imperfect ; I have but laid the first colour on the pictnre—(yet it is, I hope, of the right tint) —the finishing touches, the task of collecting " the scattered sweets until their united virtue tortures the sense," I leave to abler pens. And let such not omit to record, with a due weed of eulogy, certain well known declarations uttered during the debates on the " Catholic Relief Bill." When a man, after having enjoyed the " mel et fruges" of half a century of high judicial life, tells his King that " he has broken his corona tion oath," that " he has committed treason, and forfeited his right to his crown," who can doubt of such subject's love and loyalty ? It is as un questionable as—his gratitude ! The theme of the virtues of the venerable Ex-Lord Chancellor is indeed an harvest inexhaustible ! Who but would deem this man one of the " Pillars of the Constitution ?" Who that will not lament to find him only the corner stone of Hamilton place !—I am, Sir, your's. obediently, CANDIDUS. PROPOSED INSCRIPTION FOR THE ELDON STATUE. There are material substances which resist the greatest physical power that art or science can ap ply against them ; a woolsack repels a cannon-ball. . . So, in the human race, are wOolsacks; men the woof of whose mind is so cottony and unindentable as to set at defiance all the assaults of reason, from whom the weapons of argument bound back, and to whom the truths and lessons of political experience petition entrance in vain; their minds have no moulting-season ; ancient opinions and prejudices (little excused because conscientious) are always in full plumage ; and these men glory in the conscious ness of being antipodean in their sentiments to all that is enlightened around them. But it is especially by qualities of heart, by his well-known estimation of all the generous and social virtues, that the crowning merits of the individual whose Statae treads this pedestal, are illustrated. These form a fit counterpart of character to the imperviousness of the Judge and Politician. To arrest from oblivion (a destiny which the na tional mind had otherwise mercifully accorded) pub lic and private attributes so distinguished, and par ticularly to commemorate the last act of his political life, wherein he stood forth the champion of an un assailed Protestant Church, and with an untiring labour, and as praiseworthy a consistency and libe rality, opposed' the extension of equal civil and po litical rights and privileges to Catholic loyal and constitutional subjects, the friends of John, Earl of Eldon, ex-Lord Chancellor of England, have erected this statue. LITERATURE. OLIVER CRONINVELL—VoL. 2. This volume, which forms the Forty-eighth of Constable's Miscellany, details the particulars of Cromwell's life, from the period of his ob• wining the Protectorate, down to that of his death. The closing chapter is taken up with an estimate of his private and public character, and is draw► up and condensed with much scru pulous impartiality. The observations which we made on the former volume of this intelli gent memoir, may be equally applied to the pre sent, viz., that it is penned in the spirit of rigid enquir), and is almost wholly devoid of secta rian or other prejudices. As a specimen of the style, we select the following account of Oliver's expulsion of the Commons : " So intense was the observation directed towards Cromwell, that his looks, his dress, his attitude, have been recorded by all the annualists of the period. He had on a plain suit of black clothes, with grey worsted stockings. At first he seemed to listen with interest to the debate, and manifested no intention to interrupt the proceedings ; but when the Speaker was about to put the question, he beckoned to Harrison, who sat opposite to him, and said, ' This is the time ;—I must do it.' Upon this he rose, put off his hat, and began to address the House in a mild tone, and in language expressive of modesty and appro bation. As he went on, however, his speech became animated and his remarks less measured, until at length, be gave way to the most vehement and personal abuse. He charged the Members with self-seeking and profane ness, with the frequent denial of justice, and numerous acts of oppression ; with idolizing the lawyers, the con stant advocates of tyranny ; with neglecting the men who had bled for them in the field, that they might gain the Presbyterians who had apostatized from the cause; and with doing all this in order to perpetuate their own power and to replenish their own purses. But their time, he said, was come : the Lord had disowned them ; he had chosen more worthy instruments to perform his work. Here he was interrupted by one of the Members, who de ' elated that he never before heard language so unparlia mentary and offensive, and the more so, too, because it was uttered by their own servant, whom they had too fondly cherished, and whom by their ye ri ,, cedented bonr.t y they had raised to the elevation o. u hid, he now sto.-.1. At these words Cromwell put on li;s has, and stepping forward from his place, exclaimed, Come, come, Sir, I will put an end to your prating.' For a feyv seconds, ap parently agitated by the must violent passions, he paced up and down the Hall ; and then stamping on the floor, he cried aloud, You are no Parliament ! I sa y you are no Parliament! Bring them in, bring them in.' Instantly the door opened, and Colonel Worse!) , entered, followed by a number of musketeers. ' This,' exclaimed Sir Harry Vane, is not honest. It is against morality and common honesty.' Sir Harry Vane !' replied Cromwell, 0, Sir Harry Vane ! The Lord deliver me from Sir Harry- Vane He might have prevented this. But he is a juggler, and has not common honesty himself.' From Vane he turned to Whitelock, on whom he poured a torrent of abuse : then pointing to Challoner, There,' he cried, ' sits a drunkard ;' next looking at Marten and Sir Peter Went worth, ' There are two whoremasters.' Afterwards, se lecting different Members in succession, he described them as dishonest and corrupt livers, a shame and a scandal to the profession of the gospel. Checking himself, however, all at once in his career of vituperation, he wheeled round to the soldiers, and desired them to clear the House. The Speaker refused to withdraw unless he were compelled to leave the chair; upon which Harrison •led forward two of the military to make a show of force, and laying his hand on Lenthal, assisted him to descend. About eighty Mem bers, among whom were Algernon Sidney, followed the example of their President, and moved towards the door : upon which Cromwell resumed h:s address. It is you,' he exclaimed, who have forced me to do this. I have sought the Lord day and night, that he would rather slay me than put me on the doing of this work !' Alderman Allen teok advantage of these words, and told him that it was not yet too late to undo what had just been done ; but Cromwell instantly charged him with having defrauded the public to the amount of some hundred thousand pounds as Treasurer of the:Army, and delivered him into custody until be should answer for his peculation. When all had retired, he axed his eyes on the mace, and said, t.What shall we do with this fool's bauble? Here, carry it away.' Then snatching the act of dissolution from the hands of the clerk, lie ordered the doors to be locked, and, in the midst of his guard, returned to Whitehall." THE JUVENILE KEEPSAKE. LONDON, 1830. Mr. Roscoe has displayed much intelligence and discernment in the selection of such topics, both in prose and verse, as are most likely to suit the capacity of his juvenile readers. Tales of the simplest nature and amusing little poems, developing some incident or feeling, happily adapted to the quick but as yet unformed fancy of childhood, abound in the pages of this annual, and will, no doubt, render it a general favourite. For a birth-day, or Christmas, or new-year's gift, we know of no better book. The embellishments suit the character of the compositions, and are various, lively, and grace ful in their style and aspect, Among the best of them is the one engraved by C. Heath, from a painting by Corbould, entitled the " Ball Dress," which possesses infinite delicacy of exe cution. The figure of the gentleman who is leaving the room bears a very singular resem blance to the late George Canning, as he ap pears in the noble portrait of him by Sir Thos. Laurence. Whether the resemblance be the effect of accident or not, we cannot tell, but it certainly is very strong. The " Deserted Vil lagers" is another fine able specimen of engrav ing, but indeed all are good, and some excellent. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS. The Rev. J.

THE LAST DESCENDANT OF SHAKSPEARE NOW IN LONDON.—(From a Correspondent in the Times.) —g , I had, some time since, the happiness of rescuing from extreme poverty, a young female, the last descendant of WILLIAM SHA KSPEARE, the daughter of a poor woman of this place (Leamington), and it will no doubt afford you pleasure to know that she is at present respectably settled in London, where she has conducted herself perfectly to the satisfaction of her friends.—Leamington Spa, Nov. 9." It has been reported that Mrs. GRANBY CALCRAFT intends to offer no opposition to the suit insti tuted against her by her husband, and that on a divorce being granted, a marriage will take place between her and her noble admirer. This report, however, must be untrue, for we find that the lady has appointed a proctor to resist the suit, on grounds which promise some curious dis closures. Notwithstanding that the professors of the black art are subject to punishment in Paris for exercising their profound calling, they appear to stand in less awe of the ministers of justice there than in London. A few days ago the " White Lady," so called because her com plexion is somewhat swarthy, was accused before the po lice Correctionelle, by an unsuccessful and envious physi cian, of parading the streets on horseback, exercising the profession of medicine, and putting herself off as a sor ceress. A host of witnesses deposed to having placed themselves as patients under the care of the " White Lady," and notwithstanding her peculiar mode of treat ment, accompanied by the mysterious word s of her art, they declared they had received no benefit for their money , which the " White Lady," in order to evad e the punish ment of the law, thought proper to demand, no t for her self, but on . behalf of her horse. However, justice was not to be so tricked, and the " White Lady" w as amerced in a fine of toOf. T' ONER'S INQUEST. On Weilnt-s•!av !.I , '• was taken at the Black Ilorse, St. Clenwor , -, 1)1.f before Mr. CECIL, Co roner, on view of tlw hoily of Jane Copt's, who was that morning found ilrowne , l in flio liver Cherwell. _ _ _ John Hemming 1111 , 1 ,, 1---1 this morning found Jane Copus dead in the Cherwell. I put her into a boat, and brought her to this house. Color-, l'er, father, this morn ing asked me to go and look for his daughter, as she had been missing ever since half.pAst tour o'clock ; he did not give me any reason for asking me to go and look for her. I went in consequence, accompanied by Thomas Young and Edward Hickman, and they were in the boat with me when the body was found. The father lodged with me. I never heard or saw him beat her. Last Right I offered her father to go and search for his daughter, but he would not consent to it ; he was at that time in liquor. Her father had lodged with me about two months. Jane Copus is about 15 or 16 years of age. She had not been at home with her father much more than a fort night. When I asked ha father last might, whether I should go and see after her, he said either " her, let her float," or he said, " her, let her drown." I saw Copus take a sword last night, in the sheath, and go down the yard with it; he was in a great passion, and he said, " her eyes, 1 wish I could find her." I followed him down the yard, and he endeavoured with his foot to force the dye-house door of Mr. Jones. This was between five and six o'clock in the evening ; the last t:me I saw her was between eight and nine o'clock in the morn ing; she then appeared in good health and spirits, and in full possession of her senses ; there was no appearance by the side of the river, where I found her, of her having slipped into the water, and it was impossible for her to have fallen accidentally into the river where we found her. Ann, the wile of John Hemming, deposed—Thomas Copus,' father of Jane, lodged with me and my husband ; the last five or six weeks Jane Copus had been living with her father ; the last three weeks they seemed to agree pretty well; I never saw him heat her ; I have heard him threaten ; I saw her yesterday afternoon, about half-past four o'clock; she then appeared to be in very good health, and perfectly in her senses Her father was then at home with his wife and three others of his family ; he was nut then quite sober. I heard nothing pass between her and her father. Her father sent her three times to ask me to take tea with him and his mistress ; I sent word I had rather not ; this was the last time I saw Jane Copus. In about two minutes after Jane Copus had called on me the third time, I went into Mr. Copus's room, when I found Mr. and Mrs. Copus and three children, but Jane was not there. About five minutes after I had been there Mr. Copus missed Jane, and sent his little boy and girl to see for her; they accordingly went down the yard, and returned and said they could not find her ; he then sent his eldest son William, and I afterwards went to look for her, but we could not find her. Mr. ("opus then went, and shortly returned, and said he could not find her. Mr. Copus had been out yesterday soldiering, and re turned very much in liquor ; he is a serjeant in the Ox fordshire Militia ; I saw him last night going down the yard, with a sword in a sheath; my husband was with him ; he was at that time in a great passion ; he swore and threatened, if he found his daughter, he would beat her; two or three minutes before I last saw Jane Copus, she came crying to me in the yard, and said, "Do pray come in and sit with father, or I am afraid father will kill me this night." She also said her father had thrown a red-hot iron at her, but it had missed her ; that her father went to kick her, and she got on one side of her mother; that her father had thrown a plate with toast in it at her ; she appealed very much alarmed, and I went into Copus's room in consequence, and afterwards i❑ search of her ; I found her pockets, almost immediately after she was mis-. ing, concealed between two hog-tubs and the wall, close to the river; there was only a key and a pocket handkerchief in the pockets; I brought the pockets immediately to the house, and delivered them to Jane Copus's mother, and she was then very much alarmed, and expressed her fear that her daughter was drowned. Mr. Copus was present, and said something but I don't know what. He did not appear to be at all concerned. He afterwards said, " her, let her float." The Jury returned the following verdict:—" The said Jane Copus was found drowned in the river Cherwell, in this county ; but although there is no proof how the de ceased came into the river, there appears from the evi dence too much reason to fear that the deceased was in duced to destroy herself in consequence of tl;e ill-treat ment and violent threats of her father, Thomas Copus, a serjeant in the Oxfordshire Militia."

HARDY, whose Travels in Mexico are now attracting so much at tention, went out in the capacity of a Commissioner for the general Pearl and Coral Fishery Assolation of London. Of the results of his investigations he is rather chary ; but while he preserves the fruits of his official inquiries for the benefit of the purposes contemplated in his commission, he is net so scrupulous of the miscellaneous knowledge ga• thered during his four years' avocations. Like MAT.. THEWS in a mail coach, Lieutenant HA*DY has his pocket hook ready whenever he meets an odd individual. No peculiarity is suffered to escape ; he notes down all singu larities of word or deed. This circumstance cannot fail to shed light upon the actual condition of the people ; and there are a number of portraits from which an observer can glean a fair estimate of the moral curiosities that figure on that great field of modern revolution. All that he nar rates is drawn from his personal experience ; he is not in debted to other books, or other men, for what he states, and consequently the volume has attractions of no mean kind. Among other peculiarities BUONAYA RTE could never endure the sight of a coloured gown—parti cularly one of a dark shade. A fat woman was also one of his sovereign antipathies. He rarely invited to his fetes or dinners females in a state of pregnancy, to whose society he always evinced the most decided repugnance. Politeness to the fair sex was not habitual to his charac ter : he was but little calculated for the utterance of those soft nothings which custom has familiarised to female ears. His compliments were often of the most uncouth descrip tion. At one time he would say to a lady, " Good God ! how red your arms are ! how red your arms are !" To another, " What an abominable head-dress :" Or, " Who can have trussed up your hair in that manner?" Or, " How sailed your dress is ! Do you never change it ? I have seen you in that at least twenty times."—Spite of his bluntness, he possessed every requisite for forming what in the language of the world is termed a man of amiable manners—with the exception of the will.—Dr Bourrienne's Memoirs. One day last week a lady, dressed in a pelisse and bonnet of laventine, made a-la-mode, whilst prome nading Ramsgate pier, was observed by some fishermen to drop some part of her attire, when on approaching they discovered it to he a pocket made of nankeen ; the men pursued and overtook her, apprising her of the loss she had sustained, naturally supposing she would gladly receive the article again ; au contrarie, after a few moments' hesitation, she denied all knowledge of the commodity, telling the finder he might " take it back, as it was none of her's." The lady forthwith left the pier, and subsequently the town, in the Margate stage-coach. We suppose the ap pearance of the useful pocket not assimilating, before so many spectators, with the beautiful bright colours of blue, scarlet, yellow, and pink, in which she was decked, in duced her to disclaim all knowledge of her old and vulgar companion, but the sequel proved it belonged to this lady from Wapping. The pocket was conveyed by the men on board their boat, where its examination caused infinite amusement : amongst its multifarious contents were—part of a box of Cockles's anti,bilious pills, a tooth brush, and a square of Windsor soap, a small' phial with eau de vie, a set of curl papers, two pieces of cheese in a paper, with a piece of hard biscuit, and a letter . bearing the super scription of " Mrs. D_, Alareate, per favour ;" the contents were—" Dr Nancy, I hopes your trip to the sea, is good for you shall very glad when you come home as every thing goes topsy turvy, the gill you hired is quite opstrepolous and neglects the dear children wofully—and to add to my troubles I have not been ah'e to Make up more than sufficient money to pay what you borrowed fer your incursion so that Bill cant be paid when it is due and that is you know to-morrow I does hope you will come very soon as I want you sadly. I remain your loving helpmate, " Il!cH.attp SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The national feeling runs so strong against le monopoly of the East India Company, has been explessed in language so unqualified, and threatens the monopolists with such fatal conse quences, that they have Pt last been scourged, as it were, into expedients for self-defence, and in an evil hour have written, or caused to be writ ten, a pamphlet, entitled A Review of the Ar gzzments and Allegations which have been *red to Parliament against the Renewal of the East India Company's Charter. We have looked to the 70 pages of this pamphlet for something in the nature of new suggestion, or of a logical use of materials already known ; but, unhappily, we have not found either. The ear lier part of the work is confined to a sort of ar gument against the consistency of those who lament the injuries which they have sustained from the adoption by this Government of a liberal system of commerce with the.world gene rally, while at the same time they are clamorous for an extension to India and China of the same free trade principle. This management of the question is inexpressibly absurd. In the first place, even if the advocates for free trade with In dia, &c., did consist principally of those indivi duals or classes who regret the breaking up of the prohibitory regulations at home, bow would that make out a charge of inconsistency against them? They say, " we have suffered by your depriving us of our monopoly of the home market for our goods, be so kind or so equitable, therefore, as to put other people on a level with us, and deal out the same strict measure to the India mono polists as you have already to the British ?" Their complaint that a monopoly has been taken from themselves, harmonizes completely with their outcry at the continuance of a monopoly against themselves, in the hands of others, as a violation of equal justice ; nor does the weak ness of this animadversion by the author of the pamphlet derive extrinsic aid or credit from the manner in which he has thought fit to clothe it. But the advocates of home monopoly do not compose the bulk, but, on the contrary, a very minute portion of the vast body of merchants, manufacturers, shipowners, statesmen, and con sumers, who exclaim against the oppressive mad ness of granting now, in the year 1830, a fresh monopoly of commerce with the whole of Eastern Asia, to an expiring corporation of po litical merchants, against the interests, the wishes, and the rights of the whole nation inhabiting the United Kingdom and its colonies, taken al ternately as producers and consumers, as having British articles to sell, and demands for eastern produce to be satisfied. It is the friends of free trade in all its branches and modes (~f applica tion who press for the extension of that great principle to the East, and who, let the patnphlet writer say what he will, are too strong to be re sisted by the Leadenhall-street sovereigns. Dropping the pretence of inconsistency in the opponents of a new monopoly, what is the next favourite argument or assertion of the writer ? Why, after admitting our immense growth in the private trade with India, he assures us that it is carried on at such a loss as to have ruined every body who engaged in it Yet the trade still still goes on. So with regard to China. 'We must not think of trading to China, because the Americans, who enjoy that commerce, find it is a losing one. The Americans, then, are no more judges of their own interest than are the British merchants, and both must be governed by the dictum of a Company's pamphleteer. It the trade with India or with China cannot be persevered in but at a loss, why should the Company make such desperate efforts to mono polise it ? And if private traders cannot make it answer, how, in the name of common sense, can an unwieldy and costly Corporation do so ? But we refer them to a letter on the subject of this same pamphlet by a correspondent, under the signature of " Oriens," more familiar with the question than we are, and better entitled to attention.—Times. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. IRS I look out with some interest for all pub lications on the great question of the Indian mono poly, which is shortly to be brought before Parlia ment; and two days ago my attention was arrested by an annunciation in the public Papers of a pamph let having the following title—A Review of the Ar guments and Allegations which have been ofered to Parliament against the Renewal of the East India Company's Charter. Under so imposing a title I expected some original discussion. The perform ance in question, however, turns out to be a repub lication, with very immaterial alterations, of two ar ticles which appeared some time a g o in the Asiatic Journal, a periodical patronized by the Court of Directors. The obligations to the .Journal are un acknowledged in the pamphlet, and even the name of another publisher is affixed to the title-page. With this disadvantage against it, however, the pamphlet is upon the whole the most dexterous attempt which has yet been made to vindicate the East India mo nopoly. It exhibits the most favourable view of the Company's case which has yet been offered to the public, and on this account merits a short examina tion. A few specimens will convince us how little . _ can be said in these times in favour of monopolies, and indeed will exhibit the cause of the Company in rather a prostrate and humiliating predicament. This great body itself has hitherto attempted nothing in its own vindication ; • and it may be considered as some concession to public opinion, that it has re frained from assuming the blustering attitude which it was wont to take upon all former occasions of a similar description. The trade of India has been advancing by a regular, steady, and, I believe, an unparalleled progre•sion for a period of 14 years.— This there is no gainsaying, and the object of the writer of the pamphlet, and of the qtliec advocates of the Company, is to tnal;e the public believe that the merchants end manufacturers engaged in the Indian trade, and who ought, in common reason, to know their own interests best, have been systemati cally prosecuting a ruinous trade during that )ong period. This proceeding the present advocate of the Company denounces as a " vicious system of exorbitant trade," and his principal support o. l i this curious objection is a long qnotation from the Morning Journal ! ccAi - acnosdities are re presented by him as selling in India below prime cost. Let us examine the value of this asser tion, so utterly improbable. In the greater number of manufactured goods, owing to the diffrculty of as. certainirig that the article quoted at horns is exactly of the same duality and description with that quoted in India, it is not Very easy to determine the precise amount of the difference in their prices. With sow, however, it is quite practicable, such rAr, ihe metals. Comparing the quotations of London price -current with those of an indian one a few months later, aui k t which lust, just come to hand, is dated the I,3th of June, I find the advance on sheet icad to be IS per cent., on sheet copper to 140 33 per cent., and on British bar irpA no less than 62 per cent. These are pretty considerable advances upon artieloa of mere dead weight or ballast, little chwheable with freight. So much for Britikh martufactures selling below prime cosh There have, no doubt, bet% great lams and much fluctuation in the Indian trade for the last 14 years; so have there been in every branch of the foreig n e4retnerce of the kin g d om i n the same pc -, ;:00- ' i f he fluctuations and lassos sus tained in the Indian trade have, probably, upon the whole, been smaller than in any other distant branch of our commerce, They have been infinitely smaller than in the South American trade, even than in our trade with the United States, or our North Ameri can colonies, and far less than in our trade with the distant colony of New South Wales. There are, indeed, no countries in the world, making allowance for the imperfect information which must ever be attendant upon their vast distance, with which our intercourse might be more stable than with India ~, and China. . India belongs to ourselves, and we can make wNtt laws for it we please; it will be our own faults if our legislation produces uncertainty in our intercour•.ie with it. The commercial policy of China hal; remained unaltered for above a century. o that for all practical purposes we may reckon upon its continuing unchanged. All this is in complete contrast to the policy of nations of the. European race, and their descendants, which, in prosecution of some imagined national advantage, is perpetually vacillating, to the injury and perplexity of the foreign merchant. The author of the " Review" is exceedingly angry at Mr. Whitmore's speech delivered on the 14th of May last —among other good reasons, be cause it had been praised in Parliament for its mode ration. We have his words for it, that "it is re markable for the very narrow view Ns hich it takes of this great question, and for the superficial manner in which the few topics it touched upon are discus , ed." The novel doctrine is here insinuated, that the no tions of monopolists and their advocates are the grand and comprehensive views which should be adopted by the nation. Mr. Whitmore, after bt ing thus taunted with narrow views, is accused of representing the exports of the East India Com pany as declining. The exports of the year 18•?9 much exceeded those of 1828, no notice whatever, however being taken of the exports of this I:v4 having fallen short of that which preceded it by 49 per cent. ..The fluctuation of a single year, then is to be considered as a mortal blow given to Mr. Whitmore's statement. Our author limits himself to six years' exports from 1824 to 1829 inclusive, when the average yearly exports of the Company were no more than 712,3271. It would not have suited ,his purpose to go a little farther back, although there was a statement before his eyes in the public accounts of 14 years' exports, v:z. from 1814-15 to 1827-28. In the first seven years of his period the Company's average annual exports, rrom . Great Britain 6Cliinaamounted to 1,056,412/. and in the last only to 759,9601., or they had fallen off by 28 per cent. A still earlier period xvould have been still less to his purpose. If he had fallen, for example, upon the six years , from 1802 to 1807 inclusive, he would have found that the average ex ports of the Company, exclusive of a considerable quantity of bullion, not now exported at all, amounted yearly to 1,115,9221., or in other words, that they had fallen off in the short period of 22 years by 36 per cent. In the six yews just quoted the average of the East India Company's yearly im- ports of tea from China was 21,254,1361b5: the six years quoted by our author they amounted to 32,056,6401b5. The relief to our commerce and ma- nufactures from the Company's exports to China had decreased by 36 per cent.; the Company's means of taxing us through the monopoly had aug mented by above 32 per cent. The nation has paid to the East India Company for tea, the King's duties of course altogether excluded, on the average of the five years ending with the sth of January, 1828, no less than 4,258,6541. a-year. The Com pany, on the average of the same period, has ex ported British manufactures to the yearly value of no more than 682,1771. Did the British nation enjoy an open trade with China like all other people, there is not a farthing of the enormous difference of 3,576,477/. that would not be exported in the shape of British manufactures, or in the value of such manufactures disposed of in other parts of the world. Mr. Whitmore, I think, was to blame, then, for greatly under-rating the mischiefs of the monopoly. His speech was not only what it was called in Par liament, moderate, but perhaps too moderate, at least as far as regards his arithmetical statements.— The worthy author of the pamphlet seems himself to hare some misgivings respecting the accuracy of his own statement, and would have us to believe that a "large, sometimes the largest, portion of the Company's exports to China is made from India." Now, the author had before him• in the official statements to which he so often refers—viz., in an account drawn up at the India House, exhibit. ing the whole value of the Company's exports and imports between India and China for 14 wears, or from the commencement of the free trade t o th e year 1827-28, the means of verifying this alle ga . tion, had it been true. By reference to that docu ment, we find the assertion to be egregiously erro. neous. The annual average, instead of being large, and sometimes larger than the exports of the Com pany from England, amount only to 396,258/., or were exceeded by the exports from Europe for the six years quoted by himself by 79 per cent. ! In the first seven years of the statement the average trade of the Company bet tveen India and China amounted to 402,940/., and in the last seven only to 391,033/, or they have fallen off by 11,9071. The same public account give.; a statemenr,but a very imperfect and inadequto.t one, of the intercourse carried on by " British interlopers" between India and China for thirteen years. Its annual average is 3,050,000/., or it exceed* the trade of " the lords of Industan" by otl7 . per cent. ! In the first six years of the statement, the annual average of this trade by sufferance was hut 2,836,8721.; in the last seven it exceeded this by 396,224/., that is, by a sum exceeding the whole of the Company's trade between India and China put together. In the public account now quoted the Company's trade is represented as consisting of ex ports and imports : it is fair, however, to suite that the Company does not import a pound's worth from China into India, and that their whole trade cons sists of exports from the latter country, upon wh;ch it is notorioes that a heavy loss is sustained., nomi nally by them, but strictly by the nation; Another account compiled at the India-hour,,, quoted, embracin g 14 years, end;.-14 and already with 1827-28, exhibits a view of the invoice value of the Com pany's trade between England and China. In the six last years of this statement the imports from Eng land amounted only to 750,7191. but the exports from China amounted to 1,948,4611. The Com pany makes, no profit upon its e x p ort s-f rom E ng l and to China. This they themselves have repeatedly as sured us of, having indeed upon more than one oc casion exhibited statements to Parlia:,nent, showing the dead loss whi c h they year afier year submitted to sustain—according to thins for the good of the people, and according tia ethers, for the promotion of their own patronage, For freight and charges of merchandist , ,, therefore, we add 25 per cent, to the joint ;,vestige of their exports from Europe and Thia will make their whole imports into China 1,433,7211., making the difference between the im ports and exports above half a million sterling. How is this deficiency m a d e u p ? 'Why by drawing bills in China upon the territorial revenue of India. The Hindoos, in short, are first taxed half a m illi on sterling for the pur c h ase a tea, and the East India Company having posaessed themselves of this new instrument of exaction, sail quietly hom e , an d w ith its aseistance tax the British nation to the =owl, of 2,000,000/. per annum to maintain a •dionopoly against itself, and to give every pract!cal facility to rival .V.atioas, All this we are as:iured, with incom payable gravity, is for the :Z i m tnon b ene fi t o f I n di a avd of Great Brit a in, ORIENS.
