GENTLEMEN, When I accompanied my brother here in October last, I confidently :hoped to have returned early in the session of Parliament. But an attack of cough falling upon a constitution, weakened by my long previous illness, makes it impossible, in the opinion of my medical advisers, that I should come home before Easter with any hope of being able to attend to my parliamentary duties, and without great and permanent injury to my health. Under these circumstances I should ill requite your much tried forbearance, if, by clinging; farther to my seat, I were to deprive you of your right of being represented by both your members in the important discussions which are shortly coming before the House of Commons. I will not dwell on my regret at retiring from that assem bly, or on its immeasurable aggravation by the severance of my connection with a constituency so great and influential, and, as I have good reason to know, so generous and indulgent as the electors of 3larylebone. The path of duty, however, is clear, and so I beg to place my seat at your disposal, and I shall forward to my father an application for the Stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds, to be made by him to the head of the Government. In taking my leave of you let me assure you that I shall ever entertain a deep and grateful sense of obligation for all the many kindnesses which I have received at your hands, but, above all, for the unexampled amount of support which I experienced on my first contested return for your borough ; and, if possible, still•more for the unexampled kindness with which, by the consent of my former opponents, I was unani mously re-chosen at the last general election, when I was absent from ill health on the Continent. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your obliged and faithful friend and servant, (Signed) EBRINGTON. Funchal, Madeira, Jan. 30th, 1859. ;SALE OF PROVISIONS, &c„ AT PLYMOUTH.

An influential deputation from gentlemen in Scotland, interested in the growth of flax, had an interview yesterday with Lord Stanley, in his capacity of Secretary of State for India, on the subject of the capabilities of India for the supply of flax to this country. • Viscount DUNCAN, M.P., having introduced the deputa . tion, Mr. MILLER, chairman of the Dundee Chamber of Com merce, stated that from information which had recently been received in this country, there was every reason to be lieve that flax could be produced in India of fine quality and texture. Indeed, he had himself received a sample, which had been fairly tested, and was found to be admi rably adapted for the manufacture of canvas for the navy. The British manufacturer was at present in a somewhat critical position with respect to the supply of the raw material. Neither Russia nor Ireland was likely to increase its production of flax; on the contrary, it was •more than probable that from the increased value of land, and the rise in the price of labour, the supply from those sources would be diminished. Last year the import of flax amounted only to 50,000 tons, whereas from Russia alone he had known the imports in former years to reach 80,000 tons. The question, then ' was, how were the wants of the linen trade to be supplied? A committee had been appointed in Dundee, with a view to form an association for the purpose of encouraging the growth of flax in India, and they were anxious to impress on his lordship the great necessity which existed for improved means of transit, and of making some alteration in the tenure of land. Lord STANLEY said—As far as respects improvements in the internal communications of India I can only repeat that we are doing all we can to forward those improvements. The Government has been spending of its own money upon railways and public works an average annual sum of £2,000,000 a-year for some years, and in addition to that the Indian Government have guaranteed £5 per cent. upon nearly £40,000,000 of railway capital. I should have no objection myself to increase the number of those guarantees, but this does not depend upon the will of the Government. The state of the money market at present renders it impos sible to do so • for we could not throw fresh guarantee secu rities into the market without depreciating those in the market already. When, however, the great railways now in progress in India are completed the great lines of transit communication through India will to a great extent supply the deficiency now so much felt. As far, however, as the roads were concerned, that was a matter more of local con cern than of arrangement in this country. In reply to a question from Viscount Duncan, Lord STANLEY said that the instructions which the home government had sent out would enable the authorities there to improve the land tenure, and in some cases to create a species of freehold. Sir G. OGILVIE—Then, supposing a man builds: a fac tory, or establishes a farm, there is no chance of his being dispossessed. Lord STANLEY—Just so. This instruction will meet the your views exactly. Sir G. OGILVIE sa id that an association, which he men tioned, intend e d t o di s t r ib u t e p r i zes a mo n g the most suc cessful growers of fla x i n I n di a , and ho inquired of the noble lordwhether Governme ntthat could thero a w ssi as st n t o he o m b jecintiotn in respect ? LordSTANLE Y principle to the distribution of prizes for that purpose, but he thought the growth of flax in India would be much more influenced by the price the producers could obtain for their by any premiums for its successful cultivation. The Government could not encourage the natives to invest their money or labour in the cultivation of an article unless there was a prospect of a steady demand for that article for the future. — Some further conversation took place, in which it was stated by several of the manufacturers present that at this moment it was impossible to obtain a sufficient supply of the raw material, and that some of the mills were actually s tanding in consequence. Lord STANLEY said that the subject was one of great im portance to the country, and that they might depend upon it it would have the clo§egt attention, of At the meeting of the Assembly on the sth Feb., Mr. Gladstone spoke as follows : "Mr. President and Gentlemen, " Her Majesty the Protecting Sovereign desires, by cir cumspect but effectual measures to improve, up to their highest capability, and according to the circumstances of the times, the existing lonian institutions. " This is to be done in two ways : First, as between the lonian and the British element of the Government, by ex tending the sphere of the former, and by cautiously con— tracting the agency of the latter. Secondly, as between the different lonian elements, by dissociating powers that can not conveniently be exercised by th e sam e instrument, and by establishing the guarantees which experience has proved to be most effective for the rights and the liberties of all the classes of the community. " The principal guarantees of full constitutional freedom are these : —That personal liberty be subject to restraint only by law; that exceptional powers of legislation, from which the representatives of the people are excluded be abolished ; that neither tax be raised nor public money spent, on any pretence whatever, except with their autho rity ; that they he provided with ready means of bringing to trial all persons holding public employment, whom they may conceive it their duty to accuse of grave malversation; and that, besides this penal responsibility, the Ministers shall hold office not for a fixed term, but during pleasure ; in order that they may be in harmony with the legislative body as well as with the nominating authority. " The chief guarantees, on the other hand, for the tran-. quil and stable action of the Government are the follow ing :—That the Senate, divested wholly of its executive and initiative offices, shall have all the weight and indepen dence so necessary for its legislative functions; that the popular Chamber shall neither raise nor spend public money except upon the demand of the responsible Executive ; that the disposal of salaried offices by popular election be re cnouneed ; and that, if necessity require a partial exception as to-the members of both Chambers, they shall at least, when the civil list is re-arranged, receive no more than a carefully estimated compensation for the expenses which their post entails upon them, so that the office may be sought for its duties only, and in no degree for its profits. I recommend you to bring the lonian law, in this important particular, more nearly into conformity with that of Greece, where the members of the lower Chamber receive, in pro portion to the charge they incur, less than half what is allowed in these islands; and I feel assured that the Assembly will now, as hereto fore, merit the confidence of the country by a generous and disinterested conduct. " Of the changes, however, that have been just described, the greater part relate to the division of powers among the various lonian elements of the - Government. You will naturally ask what is proposed in order to limit the action - of the Protecting Power in your internal affairs ? "I answer at once, that the greatest of all the changes proposed in this direction is to be found in the establish ment of a Ministry open to the influence of the Chambers, combined with the effective appropriation to the Assembly of what is termed the power of the purse. Still, in order to give greater efficacy to these provisions, you are invited .to resolve that, upon a joint address from the two Chambers praying for the removal of a Ministry, it shall cease to hold office. . " The Council of Ministers will, wider the natural Pay of such institutions, become the central power in the adnu nistrative system of the country, and the Chief of the Council will be the head of that power. It is, therefore, proposed to you that, until more mature circumstances shall permit of the development of some further plan, the high station now enjoyed by the President of the Senate shall attach either to the Council of Ministers collectively or to its chief. If, however, you should conceive it your first duty to provide for the dignity of the Presidency rather than its political activity and power, I should defer to your wish as the most authentic organ of lonian feeling, and I should be prepared to frame or to listen to suggestions for that end. It might perhaps be attained if a plan were adopted having this for its basis; that the President should not be liable to lose his dignity and salary within a certain period; and that he should never lose them by any act of the Lord High Commissioner, in case the two Chambers should by address express their desire that he should retain them. " The po veers of the Council of Ministers will arise mainly under three heads " First, You are invited to declare that to it shall be carried over the executive powers now attaching to the , Senate. Secondly, that all acts which the Lord High Com missioner now performs by his own sole authority, shall, in order to their validity, require the countersignature of the proper responsible Minister; except as to such powers as her Majesty may, by Order in Council, within a period to be limited, declare it to be indispensable to retain, either permanently or for a time, with a view to the due exercise of the Protectorate. Thirdly, that the acts which he now accomplishes in concurrence with the Senate, shall here. after be performed, subject to the like exception under the reserved power of her Majesty in Council, simply by the Ministry or by a Minister alone. "I have next to address you with respect to the legis lative veto of the Protectorate. The institutions of the country are not yet so mature as to permit of an attempt which may hereafter, under favouring circumstances, be practicable, to separate between laws which affect the duties of the Protectorate and laws purely domestic. In the meantime there is proposed to you a new recognitiox of the free and substantive action of the Parliament, by providing that in the case of all future laws, instead of re citing in the body of them the approval of the Lord High Commissioner, it shall suffice to their validity if he shall attach to them his visa. And you will be free to add, if you think fit, that the period granted by the Constitution for the disallowenee of laws in England shall be greatly reduced. " In two other vital particulars you are invited to con cur in restraining the powers which essentially belong to the Protection—first, by declaring that the power of rele gations under the article of high police - shall be abolished ; and secondly, that an exceptional, state of law, proclaimed in cases of actual or approaching disturbance, shall cease upon the re-establishment of order. " The Lord High Commissioner must of necessity be ir responsible to lonian authority . ; but her Majesty deems it fitting to make further provision for his responsibility to herself. " This may be effected in a manner known to the practice of England, by which any complaint of grave malversation of office, proceeding from an authorative source, would, in stead of passing into the routine of administrative business, be brought by the Secretary of State to a judicial hearing before the highest authorities ; I propose to you, therefore, that when either Chamber shall have presented any suck complaint against the Lord High Commissioner, it shall have power to send an agent to England to support it, and to order payment of his reasonable charges. " A systematic division of public powers into those which are internal and those which belong to the Protectorate, would be scarcely . possible, even under the happiest circum stances, to draw in theory and by anticipation. An admi nistrative system cannot with safety be subjected to sudden and general change, and the attempt to sweep• away in a day the habits and growth of 40 years, would alike injure and displease the oountyy. Something more might at once have been attempted in this direction, had .the state of opinion in your country been so harmonious as to allow of your co-operating in the first inspection of a plan, instead of leaving to the Protecting Power its undivided burden and responsibility; but, in any case, experience would still re main the chief and the best guido as to particulars. The light obtained from daily and confidential relations of busi ness between the Lord High Ccimniissioner and the lonian Ministry would gradually clear the problem. Each must have the strongest motives for harmony with the other, and in the operation of these motives will be found to lie the real means of solving the difficulties of politics. " T am now speaking to youlanguage which has acquired historic warrant. lam inviting you to follow the example of the nations, great and free, which have been content to establish effectually for themselves the great principles and guarantees of constitutional government ; and have with out fear trusted to experience for the rest, as the only effec tual instrument for working out their legitimate conse quences, and at the same time for preventing the fatal evils which might arise from misinterpretation. " One word with respect to the manner in which seats in the Senate are to be obtained and held. On this subject her Majesty has no desire but that the Upper Chamber should have weight, independence, efficiency, and a separate and distinctive character. " A resolution, which I shall recommend, proposes that the seats shall be held for a term longer than that of the single Parliament ; and that the body shall consist of a majority elected by a special constituency, and of a mi nority named by the Lord High Commissioner, with the concurrence of the Ministry, from among a circle of persons qualified as may be declared by law. lam not able to sug gest a better method in which this peculiarly lonian ques tion can be dealt with. Still her Majesty does not pre clude from entertaining any modification which may ap pear to command general favour, and which may be as well or as better adapted for the attainment of the indispensable ends that I have described. " The points which I have now named to you are those which appear to be essential to a beneficial re-adjustment of your Constitution. It is requisite that I should give you fully to understand that the few but important provisions I have recommended as guarantees for tranquil and stable government, are tendered to you as a whole. Any vote impairing any of these would be fatal to the entire plan; and I must add, with respect to all the leading points I have touched, that England has kept nothing in reserve ; and that, if you do not approve the outlines she has l a id down, you may find advantage in dealing with them generally, and declining to accept them. I feel certain that in any case the Assembly will meet the question frankly ; and that, mindful of its dignity, it will discountenance any attempt to evade by indirect measures the duty of uttering a clear and intelligible opinion upon proposals of suc h grea t mo ment to the lonian peeple. In that spirit I act when I in form you that any vote, such as to alter materially their character, would be to shake the whole fabric to its base, and might at any stage annul the labours previously spent, by rendering it needful that the whole subject should be re considered. The development of the scheme in its details would however, if you should accept the bases, of course remain a subject for future and free deliberation. The adjustment of them, with the aid of mutual confidence, will, I am per suaded, not be difficult. "Besides the provisions which I have described as ap pearing to be essential, I earnestly recommend it to you to consider whether the adoption of measures for the following purposes might not be attended with great public advan tage : " 1. That the session of Parliament be annual, and be ordinarily of two months. "2. That the 12 months assigned for the disallowance of lonian laws by the protecting Sovereign be reduced to four or three. "3. That each island be represented by at least one member of the Senate. "4. That the Senate shall try public functionaries when impeached; with the advice of the Supreme Council, as often as required, on points of law. " 5. That Ministers may be members of either Chamber —a provision which experience warrants me in describing as one valuable alike, if not even indispensable, to liberty and order. "6. That the Supreme Council be rendered more inde pendent both of the Lord High Commissioner and of the Assembly, with a view to its greater public weight and utility; and that it be consulted on all judicial appoint ments. " 7, That the large islands he divided into two or three districts each, for the distinct representation of the various local interests. • "8. That, with a view to economy and to efficiency, the local Governments of some of the islands be as far as. pos • sible consolidated. "9. That public offices Cease to lapse of right at the end of the quinquenniuin. " 10. That further provision be made for the revision of any part of the constitution when required. Having explained the course of organic legislation on which her Majesty. encourages you to enter, I will not now proceed to,enlarge upon the general benefits which ought to ensue from the amended construction of your Government. Suffice it to say, there is much to be done ; and most of all, perhaps, in that which constitutes the elementary and para mount duty of a popular chamber—the regulation of the public taxes and expenditure. . " The refdination of the taxes is urgently needed. Your peasantry, sometimes exposed to pressure, pays an artificial price for bread. Your chief products aro laden with heavy duties on export. Burdens are not equally shared between town and country, between producers and consumers. " But you cannot effectually reform your taxes without revising your expenditure. And here, too, the need is great. For military protection you pay more lightly, if I reckon aright, than almost any people in Europe; for your civil government perhaps more heavily. It is not that the sala ries of your public functionaries are in general too . high, but that .their number is disproportionate to the number of the population and to the work to be done. The paid ser vants of the public, in all their classes, are above 2,200 among 240,000 inhabitants. Such a proportion equals or exceeds even that of the army in other European States, to the entire number of the population. " This evil has been fostered by special causes ; neither can it be cured in a day. The attempt to apply a too sharp and sudden remedy would defeat itself by cruelty and in justice to individuals, which provoke reaction, and thus impede even wise and salutary change. The case demands forethought and steadiness of purpose ; it also absolutely' requires the aid of ministerial responsibility, which alone can arbitrate aright between public economy and legitimate personal interests. " There are other sources from which savings may be effected. When constitutional and stiaile government shall have been developed in these islands the charge of their public debt, while it exists, may be reduced. The circula of notes payable on demand ought to yield some profit to the State. The management of roads, when placed under executive instead of elective officers, may ,be conducted much more cheaply. I may, in passing, observe that I shall propose to you the re-organisation of dour municipal and local governments ; and that I hope it may be found practicable to liberate their ordinary proceedings from the interference of the Protecting Power. To resume ; on the part of that Power, I shall be ready to lead the way in the work of economy, by proposing to take upon the reserved civil list of the Lord High. Commissioner several charges which have heretofore been defrayed out of the general revenue. Nor shall I on returning to my own country, forget to watch for an opportunity, when the state of Eng lish finance may render it practicable, to recommend, as far as in me lies, the further reduction of the still heavy duty duty of import upon currants, that great staple of the southern islands. But, while, in regard to some finan cial improvements, I have thus ventured to offer friendly counsels, I trust that all such matters will be hereafter managed, under the action of improved institu tions, by your own sagacity and good sense. " I need now detain you no longer on the particular topics to which I have referred. Those of them which I have de scribed as essential will be brought under your notice forth with, in the form of resolutions ; and by means of a message, since this is the vehicle specified in the Constitution. As to their general seep:), gentlemen, these reformations may be easily and briefly described. They are intended to secure to you,, in the management of your internal affairs, the full ad vantage of a constitutional and a stable Government, better guarantees for public rights, better adjustment of the influ ence of the respective classes of society, a more free career in political life for the ability with which the country abounds. They do not tend to complicate but to simplify your relations w ith th e P ro tecting Power. They create no new bond between th e t w o countries, except it be a new bond of goodwill. England proposes to you a law, and not a contract. She asks from you nothing. Not a single point is added to her powers. " Reformations such' as these, in the ordinary course of history, are demanded more frequently than offered; are extorted by superior strength, more commonly ,han given of free will. From divisions of opinion in these islands, there has been left to the Crown of England the credit and the grace of making this spontaneous tender, and of urging its acceptance. Oil the part of my country, I feel the diffi culty, but I prize the honour. No impulse has prompted her Majesty in her gracious offer, except the sentiment of due benevolence towards the lonian people, and the convic tion that the reputation of England - is concerned in their enjoying freedom, prosperity, and contentment, not merely in a degree equal to that of neighbouring or kindred coun tries, but in the highest degree which it may be in her power to procure. " Her Majesty has now done her part, and the rest, Mr. President and gentlemen, is in your hands. " I entreat you to contradict, by the testimony of facts, the imputations of those who declare that in these islands the spirit of restless demagogism on the one hand, and the inveterate traffic in place on the other, render good and free government impracticable. " Those official persons, for whose conduct the Protect ing Power is by the Constitution made virtually responsible , will, as such, co-operate in the effort on behalf of the lonian people;' for England would not be justified, at such a juncture, in neutralising any assistance which she can command. s " --- ",The efficacy, however, of that assistance must ultimately depend, not on those who give, but on those who receive it. If, then, you are a feeble State endeavour to be strong with the strength of reason. Freedom must be freely accepted, or the gift would be poisoned in the act of giving. You can make this effort effectual ; you can also make it vain- You can intercept the benefit on its way ; you can convert the promise into a mockery. You can prolong or perpetuate the reign of that legislative paralysis, of those administrative abuses, respecting which, as the inevitable fruits of a still de fective system, youhave generally, andyecently, and eagerly, and in terms of at least sufficient strength, complained. Of that over which you have no power, I need only say that having no power, you have no responsibility. Of that which is now within your reach I shall have said enough whet I remind you that here your responsibility is entire, and, fur ther, that the habits engendered by well-ordered freedom for the present, form the only efficacious preparation for the hidden contingencies of the future. I conclude, then, with giving utterance to the prayer that the Almighty may guide your counsels, and may forbid that the interest of the lonian people should receive, in the crisis of its destinies, and at the hands of its servants and sworn defenders, a deadly wound.

Yesterday, Mr. Wakley, coroner for West Middlesex held an inquest at the Assembly House, Kentish Town, on Joseph William Jones, aged 22, late assistant to Mr. Emer son, surgeon, of 3, Lower York-place, who committed self destruction under very peculiar and determined circum stances. The evidence having been given by deceased's employer and others, to the effect that on - Friday morning last he was found dead in his room, and that death had been caused by prussic acid, a bottle which had contained that poison being found by his side. Harriet Ranson, a young person to whom it was stated the deceased was engaged to be married, was next examined, and the witness appeared deeply moved. She said .aat she resided at 7, Dishopsgate-street Without. She was well acquainted with the deceased, and she received a latter from him on last Friday morning. The last letter prior to that was on Monday morning. The witness handed in the letter she received on Friday, and while it was being read she became very much agi tated, and swooned away. The letter ran thus : " 8, Lower York-place, Kentish Town. " My dearest Harriet,—My gold watch is for you, and please apply for it at 1, Hamilton-place, Highbury Pkrk North, a Mr. Llewellyn, who will give it up to you, as you are the one I most love of all. Therefore accept my watch, with my love.—Yours most affectionately, " JOSEPH JONES." The letter appeared to have been written in a very hurried manner. The witness haying been restored to conscious ness said, with continued emotion, that the deceased had never written or spoken abort suicide to her. They parted as friendly as ever on the Sunday before, and he promised to see her again before the month was over. She never noticed anything peculiar in his manner; and he seemed as usual when they parted on Sunday night, about a quarter past nine o'clock. Edward Champion, errand boy at Mr. Emerson's stated that on Thursday night, before going to his room, the de ceased wrote two letters and sent them to the post. He was writing another but he tore it up, and he then went to a cupboard where the poisons were kept. After this, about seven o'clock, he went upstairs, and he did not come down again. As he was going up stairs he gave witness a parcel; e T o h n e ta re ini w n a g s shirt,naothing unusual s4 ing in the deceased's manner. And he might have it if he liked. the witness further said, that he never noticed anything peculiar about the deceased. Other evidence was taken for the purse of endeavour ing to gain a clue as to the state of the deceased's mind at the period he committed the suicidal act, but in vain; the deceased being described as being always cool and col lected, and nothing had ever been observed in his manner denoting the least insanity. The coroner, in summing up, said that he never had a case before in which the evidence was so scanty and bare as to the state of mind ; and repudiating as he did such a harsh verdict as one of felo de ae, which did no good, but only gave pain to the relatives, he recommended an open verdict to be retureed. The jury, after a brief deliberation, returned a verdict of Suicide," leaving the state of mind an open question. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—AIoNDAy.
