MONEY MARKET AND COIVIMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market yesterday presented a heavy appearance, a nd prices of all descriptions tended downwards. The sales amounted to 6,000 bales, 500 of which were taken by the speculators, and 300 by the "Porters. In the Railway Share Market a fair amount of business was transacted, at fully former values. The suspension of Messrs, Rawson, Sons, and Co,, engaged in the East India trade, has caused I ntuit regret, but it is satisfactory to know that the a ssets will probably suffice to meet all the liabilities, ro ughly estimated at 700,0001., and leave a sur plus to enable the firm to continue business. De preciation in the value of produce, rice especially, of Which they were large holders, and an absence of remittances are the causes assigned for this un fortunate event. It does not appear to have been altogether unexpected, but so large a failure bas n ecessarily produced a sensation in commercial circles. The bills which arrive at maturity to-morrow the "fourth" of the month, are not supposed to Le very heavy, and the provision that has been made his created little additional inquiry for discount a-406 mmodation ; the market, in fact, has been Acarcely influenced to the extent of ± per cent. by loan instalment and other payments which have been lately made, and owing to the excessive supply of capital available for commercial purposes, it i 5 imagined that the terms will continue for some time longer a fraction lower than the present Minimum. There were no operations in bullion of import ance at the Bank of England yesterday.

The market for English Securities, which opened Other steadily, has suddenly become depressed, TWg to sales i n connection with the settlement. imarket is evidently very unsteady, and 1 receipt of lower prices from the Paris Bourse seems to have increased its heaviness.

The learned gentleman bad not concluded his speech when our re porter left. JUNE THE MAGAZINES• Blackwood.—"What Will He Do With It" is chiefly retrospective in this part. For the sake of impressing an important truth forcibly upon the mind of Lionel, Colonel Morley goes back far into the past, and reveals many strange things to his astonished young friend. Lionel is greatly inte rested in the sad narrative brought before his notice, and fancies be recognises an old friend in the unfortunate hero of the story ; in fact, no other than the singularly gifted and strangely situated old man whom he encountered years be fore in the quiet village as Gentleman Waife. The dark mystery which hung over the forlorn wan derer, dimming his path, even when a transient gleam seemed to enliven it, as a heavy cloud ob scures the fairest landscape, is partially accounted for in the events here recorded. The most in e resting passage met with is that which ehroreeles the success of the aspiring and some time despair ing George Vipont Morley. Triumphing over physical defects and mental disquietude, he at last achieved his destiny, than which a nobler cannot devolve upon man, of conveying to suffering sin ners the glad tidings of pardon and peace, and pointing to his fellow-immortals the way to a bet tor and enduring city. Darrell, usually so ab stracted and careworn, seemed to rouse himself to .regard with interest the success of this enthusiast, and even to feel some excitement for his welfare. He appreciated the admirable manner in whic'i he lead been taught. He did not know the master mind that had directed the high intelligence and producA the result lie admired. " I see," he ex claimed to George, " that you are one of the few who deem that the Divine Word should not be un worthily uttered, all that enforce, dignify, adorn, make the becoming studies of him, who strives by eloquence to people Heaven." This will doubtless be seen hereafter to have been an important instalment. "The Defeat of the Faetions" is an ably written article, and attracts attention from its referr ieg to the one important topic, of the present d ay. The writer states that the "Factions have held their field-day at the expense of our Indian empire and the British constitution, and were thoroughly beaten and humiliated ; they stand self-condemned at the bar of the country." In a powerful manner he relates the chief events of the momentous struggle, explaining the manoeuvres, exposing the fallacies, and demonstrating the inconsistencies of the opposition. It is not often that such oppOrtunity is given to a commentator on politics of recording so signal a success for his friends, or so direful a defeat for .his foes, and the reader will find that the golden opportunity leis nob been lost. The remarks on Lord Elenburough render justice to that distinguished man, whom the sequel of events has proved so correct in his judgment. It is observed that oratory has seldom producad any thing equal to his speech on the question. " Parliament never witnessed anything morally grander than the position and bearing of the noble lord, as, having thrown down office that he might speak untrammelled, he stood there pleading with earnest and flashing eloquence the cause alike of humanity and policy in our vast Indian realms, He did not stoop to the trivialities and person alities of debate. He brushed, aside the petty considera tions of red-tape and routine. He boldly defended his policy out and nut. Ho justified both the Despatch and its publication." Some time is devoted to the consideration of the Smith episode, which is truly styled the most ex traordinary that the House of Commons has wit nessed. "The history of the suppressed letters" will for ever figure among the causes celebres of the British Parliament." The last night of the debate is thus described— " The House of Commons was crowded—crammed as perhaps it never was before. There had been a tremendous " whip" on both sides, and, summone I by electric wire, members had hurried thither from all parts of the Conti nent, The benches could not accommodate the member', and numbers stood on the crowded floor. Around and above, every gallery was filled with distinguished on lookers. Crowds were outside in the Palace-yard ; and once, but once only, as the members assembled, the crowd was heard cheering, and in walked the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Ministerial benches were intensely ex cited, but radiant; the Opposition anxious, and unmis takeably nou-plussed. They knew they were beaten. Their case had melted away—their orators, too, were ex • hausted, all but Palmerston ; while not a third of the de bating power of the Ministerialists had been called into play—the "Old Guard" had still to make its terrible onset—and Bulwer, Gladstone, Walpole, Kelly, and Dis raeli, roused to their highest efforts by the occasion, would sweep everything before them, and make the country as well as the house ring with their lofty and telling oratory." _ _ " The mutiny became general. Mr. Duncombe said " - be had intended to vote for the motion, and bad not disguised his opinion ; but as the case stood, if Mr. Cardwell perse vered in bis motion, he would put on his hat and wish him `good night,' leaving him to the tender mercies of honourable gentlemen opposite !" At length, after much consultation hold by Mr. Cardwell with Lard John Rus sell, Sir C. Wood, and Lord Palmerston, the latter, as leader of the routed faction, rose (confused, and with the worst grace he ever showed in his life), and joined in the appeal that Mr. Cardwell should withdraw his motion. Ur. Cardwell, of course, assented ; and then came the ca pitulation. The motion could not be withdrawn without the permission of the house, and the Minist nialist leader was appealed to. The hour of victory had come. Like a consummate general, Disraeli, to appearance as impassive as marble, had watched every feint and move of his troubled antagonists ; and now, calm and concentrated amidst his unparalleled triumph, he rose amid deafening cheers. With a magnanimity which was true wisdom, and with admirable taste, he said that if he were only to consult party interests, he should prefer to go on with the debate, and was quite ready to divide the house on the !notion; but that there were higher interests than those of party, and that to those higher interests he should bow, by giving the Opposition the permission they desired. Mr. Cardwell then, amidst tremendous cheering from the Mini sterialists, moved that the vote of censure be withdrawn "May Day" is a most amusing little sketch, which relates the misadventures of au old gentleman who, on returning from India, endeavoured to keep a time-honoured but most inconvenient custom, and— " Waked, as the custom was, befcre the day, To pay the observance due to sprightly May." His diary is most ludicrous, and may well serve to pass away au idle hour agreeably by itn perusal. "Religious Memoirs" is the subject of a paper that contains some very judicious remarks on the subject of biographies, and expresses opinions which it would be satisfactory to find more generally dif fused, concerning the practice of mixing up religious writing with the simple observances of daily life, and rendering ridiculous, by the inconsistency, the very people they profess to honour. Dublin.—" Gerald Fitzgerald" is the first of the contents; the story is not so interesting in this part ; it does not make much progress, relating chiefly to a quarrel between Gerald and Marietca. " Fronde's History of England" forms the subject of a most able article, it is written iu an impartial manner, and criticises in a fair spirit. Mr. Fronde's style is described " as an lEolian lyro, which is loud or low, long or short in its utterance, as it is swept by the varying wind," and it is observed that the work in question is " a noble monument of the English Church and State." " The Times and the Times" is a short plper which treats of sonic social questions, and attaches great importance to a " free press," which is called the viceroy of a . " free people." It is truly said that " the isola tion of England has been complained of by foreign . writers, let it be rememb,2red that it is the isolation of the freeman from the bondage of the slave." Many readers will doubtless b.: pleased to peruse the article on " Richard Savage," which is well worthy of attention. It is true that the theme is 'painful, and the interest a mournful one, that at taches itself to the subject of these remarks. It is said that Johnson's friendship for him was most sincere, and his biography only too favourable— " When that poor friend had gone to his account, Johnson gave the world the Life we speak of, as fresh and glowing with the morning lights, and tender hues, and vivid feeling of his early companionship and love for him who was mare than a year dead, as if he had only just parted with him, after a long and delightful talk and walk, and given him a shake by the hand at the corner of Fleet-street." In conclusion it is observed that— " We would deliberately say that history, or biogra phy, the colours on the painter's canvass, or the cuttings of the sculptor's chisel, the poet's flight, or the tracings of the pencil, have never produced or perpetuated any record so mournful :—nor is there any annal so dark, or any memoir so full of heart-broken misery, as that of poor, unhappy, gifted, Richard Savage." " Rome and Her Rulers " relates to the work re cently published by Cardinal Wiseman, it renders, a tribute to the manner in which he has achieved his task, but suggests to the reader that in the pre late's descriptions they see but one side of the pic ture. " Novels for Infancy, Manhood, and Second Childhood," give rise to some reflec,ions, in which the writer is hardly fair to female novelists. " The Cobbler and the Round Tower " is an amusing tale in verse, which chronicles the unfortunate events that befel a man who maintained a character for wisdom. Fraser.—Fraser's Magazine this month do2s not present any special attractions. There are some interesting subj etc and same articles that will repay perusal, but the general effect is somewhat tedious. One of the most attractive papers is the opening one, a criticism on the recent memoirs of Shelley, by a friend and companion of the poet. The introductory remarks on the mania for literary biographies, which is now so common, are just and forcible, The fact of an individual having pub lished some volumes of prose or verse does not autho rip those totally unconnected with him to intrude not only en the actions and events of his life, but on his private thoughts and feelings, his preferences, his aversions, his weakne , ses and foibles. It a writer is i n th e h a bit o f p u blishing his sentiments on some topics to the world, the naturalinferenhces to be drawn f ro m his silence. on other., is that does not wish them to be publicly discussed and analysed. It is with regret that we see this system COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Bancn, before Lord C ►mpbell, Justices Coleridge Erle, and Cr 01110,00.) IN RE CEIARLES FREDERICK LEES. Mr. Flood applied for a writ of certiorari to be directed against this gentleman, of the Island of St. Helena, to bring the record and indictment in the case into this court, to stay all subsequent proceedings thereon, with a view to a writ of error for an habeas corpus to bring up the body of the prisoner. The prisoner was tried and convicted for an assault at St. Helena, which conviction and subsequent sentence was considered to be illegal. The question turned upon whether the Island of St. Helena was governed by its own laws in existence before it was conquered or ceded by the Dutch, or whe ther it was governed by the common and statute law of England. These charters were handed in and read, but neither of them embodied the corpus of the English law, but the Chief Justice of the Island bad superior authority in all matters of the kind. After hearing the learned counsel at some length, Mr. Flood said he believed he had omitted to bring one charter, which embodied the corpus of the English law. The question was allowed to stand over for its pro duction. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) THE ROYAL BRITISH BANIC.-IN RH H. BROWN. Today was appointed for the last examination of Mr. Humphrey Brown, OEM of the directors •f the Royal British Bank, and he was brought up in custody under the Commississioner's warrant. Mr Liuklater, for the assignees, asked for an adjourn ment, as the accounts, which were intricate, required examination, and no doubt certain information for their elucidation. He proposed two months. His Honour said he could not name a day before his vacation, but he did not sew how the bankrupt could suffer by a delay. Mr. Linklater said it would perhaps be better to take an adjlurnment for a longer period with leave for Mr. Brown to apply for an earlier day if prepared, as it had been intimated that Lopes were intertained he would obtain his release. His Honour said he would grant protection till as 4th cf November. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGII-STREET. ROBBERY OF SILK DRESSES BY LADY THIEVES.— SYSTEMATIC PLUNDERING.—Susannah Bishop, 32, Ella Bishop, 24, and Kate Bishop, 22, three well-dressed females, were charged with stealing two silk dresses of the value of 141. from Mrs. Percival, milliner, &c., 20, George street, Hanover-square. The prisoners are believed to have been carrying on a systematic mode of plundering fashionable West-end milliners. Anne Seatle said—l am in the service of Mrs. Per cival, milliner, of 20, George-street, Hanover-square, and on Saturday last, in the afternoon, the prisoner Susannah came to the door and asked if Mrs. P. was at home, and said two ladies were waiting at the corner of George-street to see her. She told her she wae,and she then left and returned with the other two. Took them into the showroom asked them .to sit down, and left them there. Misse d two pieces of silk, and accompanied the officer to Shepherd's-bush, where they were apprehended. Charged them with having taken two pieces of silk from 20, George street, on Saturday afternoon. They made alo answer to the charge. Elizabeth Hill—l am assistant to Mrs. Percival. On Saturday morning I placed .twce pieces of silk in the show-room. One was a brown pieee about 21 yards, the other drab, about 12 yards—the value of the two 141 Remembered being called into the show room on Satur day, and saw the three prisoners. One of them, Bate, said she was Vansittart of Oatlands Park and of Harley street. She gave me an order for from 13 to 30 dresses. as she was going to India in a month. I missed the silk in the evening, and no persons bad been in the room but two ladies who had been customers for 20 years. Mr. Bingham said he would advise the prisoners to reserve their defence. The charge against them was very serious. There were two strong points against them—one that they had received the charge in silence, the other that one of them had represented herself as Miss Vaneittart, of Oatlands Park and Ifarley-street, at neither of which places were they known. Remanded for a week. THAMES. CONVICTION OF A SON FOR. BEATING HIS MOTHER. —Henry Somerville, a an 21 years of age, who looked much older, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with violently assaulting Caroline Somerville his mo ther. The complainant, a careworn middle-aged woman, decently attired, and who gave her evidence with great relactance, said the defendant, her eldest born, was the bane of her existence. He would not exert himself and expected her to support him. He kept bad company and came home drunk at all hours of the.night. He had destroyed her little home, and broke up all the furniture, and when she remonstrated with him be abused her, made use of the mast vile epithets, and knocked her down by a bl ow with his fist. He afterwards threatened to take away her life, and beat her again. 'The prisoner, in defence, I know I was tipsy, and broke a few thin gs , but I know I did not strike ker." Mr. Yardley —Are you not ashamed of yourrelf, to sand before me and admit that you destroyed your mother's things I Mrs. Somerville Bali that she lived at No. 12, St, Thomas's-road, Stepney y and that her son had promised to visit her, break btr home, and annoy her again if he was sent to prison. The marks of his blows wero limbic on her pers on , rte thought nothing of swearing at her, and knocking b e , down. Mr. Yardley—l eenteoce the prisoner to one month's impriso"mant and Lary l a b our , an d if he annoys his mother again I will order loins to find bail to keep the peace for 12 months ; and,as nobody will be surety for such a fellow, he will have to remain in prison for a year.

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORBEL—Yesterday this body held a special meeting, to consider the main drain age of London, and once more resolved, by afvrmal vote, to do nothing, at any rate for three months. '§'s 8. of memoir writing so generally adopted, and en couraged by a curiosity that calls itself interest, and. that desires to criticise what it Professes to de plore. The present paper confines itself chiefly to the review of Mr. Hogg's recent volumes, and only relates to that portion of Shelley's life which he narrites. When his concluding volumes are pub lished we are promised another essay on the sub ject. A paper on the political and social prospects of the Australian Colonies will be attractive to those who are interested in our colonial future. The statistics of its progress, the political constit u 'tion, which, is peculiar to itself as a dependency, the Land Question, and all similar topics are treated of at length. The recent memoirs of M. Guizot and. Louis Blanc furnish a paper on French social changes. In speaking of the fOrmer the avriter says, " In fact there is no man on the continent, and scarcely a man among ourselves, with whom we can compare M. Gnizot. For the last' thirty years he has led nearly as active a political life as our own late Premier, Viscount Palmerston, of whom he is three years the'junior ; while for more than half a century he has led as laborious a literary life as any literary man of his day. In thA timeha haS been professor, author, and dramaiist, translator and review er , pamphleteer and historian, editor and leading-article writer, essayist and moralist, Master of Requests, councillo,.. of State, under-secretary, deputy, and at length minister and amba sador." He subsequently gives us an interesting sketch of the early life of the statesman and litterateur. " The men of ills Indian Mutinies" is a paper on some of. the mo,t prominent men whom the troubles of .India have raised to eminence. It doss riot suggest much that is new or striking, and is mainly occupied in de ' fending .the acts of some of the chief civilians, whom the public have not regarded with any great degree of favour. A paper on Matthew Arnold's Meropa has some remarks on the characteristics of Greek tragedy, but the specimens given of the modern imitation are not likely t ) impress the lovers of true poetry. " Squire Bolton's Trans gressioo" brings the troubles cf Guy Ilatliaw.,y and the pretty Sylvia to a suitable conclus on. The Albatross is treated of the usual piper n Natural Histlry. " A Mutiny of Pr v,nci:l Troops" is the title of a paper taken from Tacitu , drawing a comparison between the 13sngal muti neers and the insurrect cn of the Batavi—a warlike people of Teutonic race, who eudeavoure t to thro off the Roman yoke at the time when Vitellius ard Vespasian were disputing the possession of the imperial dignity. "Poems fro Eversley, a spring tide study," can. scarcely be called a criticism of Mr. Kingsley's poems, as it is little more than a tribute of admiration. Though many of his briefer lyrics are full of tire and feeling, we cannot coincide in the wholesale admiration expressed. There is an attack on those severecritics who destroy all romance and tradition to make room for their own un graceful substitutes, which may very probably be overthrown in their turn by the next self-cleoed champion of the prosaic. The political writer of Fraser gives us an article ou Lord Derby's three month's in power, in which, not being able to prove his friends right and his adversaries wrong quite so much to his own satisfaction as usual, he takes refuge in an ingenious general depreciation of the Ministry, and a lamentation over the decadence of the English Parliament. Bentley's. —Mr. Dudley Costello's story with the interesting title of " Faint Heart never won Fair Lady," proceeds in its accustomed manner and narrates some events of importance. The good Richel is left in a painful predicament, being suddenly called upon to surrender her adopted child under very suspicious circumstances. Monks hood's " New Book Notes," ;treat of Michelet's History of France in the seventeenth. century, giving an account of the plot for the assassination of Cardinal Richelieu, which terminated so fatally for Auguste De Than, son of the historian, and the young Cinq Mars, the favourite of th e King. There are some striking verses entitled " Leontitp, ' addressed to the veteran author of " The Story of Rimini"— " Lord of our laughter, master of our tears . ," rendering the homage of a cordial admiration in vigorous and expressive language. " The D amond Bracelet" is the title of an interesting story, which is left uufinished, and which turns like many other tales on the mysterious disappear ance of some valuable jewellery. The remains of Dr. Byrom, other►vise known as John Shadow, firm the subject of an entertaining paper. " The Lion's Breath, " is taken from the work of Alexandre Dumas, and is somewhat extravagant. " Thanatos Athanatos," though extending to an , unreasonable length, is full of quaint and pleasant reading, varied with anecdotes and quotations. " Imperial Paris," is the title of an article, wh ch traces the recent improvements and embellish ments in the neighbouring capital. " From Delhi to Cawnpore" is a melancholy raeitatof-the suffer ings of an English family in the mutiny of Bengal. fbrief notice of the performances at her Majesty's The Are concludes the number. Colburn's New 111outhiy.—" The Earl's Di lemma," by the au her of " Ashley," is a very clever story, continuing the adventures commenced in last month's number. In this part we meet with a very good ins'auce of the extreme daugr and difficulty of that he rating course which so many aqopt. Lord Hartledon was an extreme case, per haps, but there are too many who tread in his foot steps, and are deficient in moral courage, which is the true source of strength in all human undertak ings. He endeavoured to please all parties, and at last created so much confusion that the reader will doubtless learn in a future part that he reaped some unpleasant consequences. "Buckle's History of Civilisation" is treated of at some length, and is regarded with the respect Wiich so eminent a work merits. It is asserted that " whoever misses read ing this book, will miss reading what is, in various respects, to the best of our judgment and expe rience, the most remarkable book of the da b." " One Day's Longings," by Mary Monck, is the title of some verses that are very pleasing. The general idea is expressed in the following : Then I sighed, " Oh ! for the p/wor Which the ancient Magii held ; Oh ! for this one day's possession Of the fsery spells of eld." I woul.l free Those toiling wretches, Send them forth to woods and fiens, Till their brows grew smooth and radiant With the joy that Nature yields ; To the shell-strewn shores of Ocean, Where the long swell hi oaks in foam, To the wild and pathless mountains Where the eagle makes his home; To the margins of great rivers, Where their weary limbs might rest, Till the beauty round them lavish'd Struck a chord in every breast; Till they lost tho grime of labour, Till they knelt upon the sod, Soaring up with souls awakened • • To the mercy-seat of God. Mr. Bu hby continues the narrative of his visit to eland last summer, and gives some entertaining pictures of life and manners in those wild northern regions. The next subject we meet is a very at tractive one—" Thomson as a Poet of Nature." In treating of his capacities in this department of his art, the critic renders him that unqualified praise which is his due. The writer remarks with justice on the strong and widely-diffused love of poetry which is a characteristic of the English people. "A people in whom the love of poetry, and especially the poetry of Nature, is so strong, is assuredly very far from approaching that downward path in the career of nations, one of the indications of which is often exhibited in the extinction of the imagination." Many extracts are given from the beautiful scenes in the " Castle of Indolence." In conclusion, he says : Thomson is a poet for all time. His productions are the creations of a mind of exquisite sensibility, and pure as the morning dew. He is emphatically the poet of Na ture as she manifests herself in England, and her people will turn to him with increased sympathy and affection as often as, seduced for a season into the admiration of some unworthy professor of the divine art, they regain the purity of their taste and return to the living fountains which have been so abundantly opened up for them ; or, to adopt the imlgery which Thomson has so well employed in his Castle of Indolence, as often as, released from the magic spells of some false enchanter who may have bound and held them captive for a while, they are reawakened to the superior attractions of simplicity and truth. " The Autobiography of Ernest Mitterkamp" is continued ; and an interesting tale, entitled "The Wild Fowl limiter," follows. A. criticism on Ma dame de Pontes' recent work on " The Poets and Poetry of Germany," renders that lady due credital for her arduous undertaking. Provisional Government" The Provis Government" takes a glance at the position of France in 1848, and terminates the list of articles. The United Service.—A paper on "Our Position iu India, with a glance at our recent of ation," is the first to meet the reader. The writer seems to consider that we must maintain in India a t•ys tem of stern repression—that the slightest tion of severe military d'scipline will be f Vowed by another outburst, and that those who advocate a more merciful code are only desirous of smoothing the way to our ultimate surrender of all right to govern. We cannot coincide wi'h the opinions of the author, or admire the vehemence with which he upholds them. A paper on " Porta and Aggrea si,n" deserves perusal, and suggests some It t ubjects to the consideration of those in authority, to the conclusion that " we ought by this: • t c ,: i( s ) ", have bad a harbour for our millions spent• time in case of a consqpiences of our want of energy, more serious condition of continental' politics, may be to the people of this kingdoni a source of morti fication." A paper, entitled "A New Indian • 'Army," Saggestts eine-methods. for reorganising our Indian defences. Another Artiele, on " The Gazette g of Blood," refauto<the fearful list of deaths and [murders chronicled in - the. London Gazette of the 6th May. It is, indeed, a fearful record of the crimes and sufferings of humanity: Lieutenant- Colonel Aleicander reinjuiteences of a visit to the Chitieie Empire are cou'iuued with its accustomed. entertainment. • Fukien ana Hong Kong are plea santly described. " The Navy, its Paint, Laws, and Customs," is the title of a paper treating of many point's of naval management and discipline which era capable of iwprovemeut. An article on the merits of the various routes to the Pacific gives a list of the rival designs that have been proposed for connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and arrives at the conclusion that the Nicaragua Canal is the m.)st feasible and advantageons. A review of " Marshal Marniont' s Memoirs" brings to a conclusion' the criticism on that work, which la been 'the subject of several interesting p4per3. Though the Marshal himself may not be a very c%ivalria chsracter the stirring scenes in, w:tich he moved, and theerninent men who moved in them, sufii.le to engage the reader's attention. " The Sepoys and the landholders of Ou le," is the ti le of an extract from a let' er f, mu an officer on. the spot, " who has passed through the dif ferent stages of the revolt." He says that the re settling 'of Oude wll be a very difficult badness, and among other mistakes at the time of the an nexation of Oade, ho asserts that the title-deeds of the chieftains and others holdingiarge property were too severely scrutinised. It would have been wiser, he says, to have left them as we found them in,tead of going back fur years and years to find out the rightful owner and disp2ssess the land holder who had owned them fur a long period. The theory he admits was partially good, but the practice was inefficient, and, as the cases of op prestionor bribery were not recent our interference was uncalled for, and a bitter • enmity was excited against the interfering government. The second part of the paper on the Party Politics of the United States is given, and the Editor's portfolio contains its usual summary of events and opinions. All the usual military and naval intelligence occu pies its customary place. OPPOSITION TO THE LONDON CORPO RATION _BILL. A copy of the following has been sent to the Town Clerk of every Corporation in the King dom ; GUILDHALL, May 29, 1858. Sir ' —I am desi r ed by:th e C orporat i on of Lon don to request you will call the attention of your corporation to a bill now pending in Parliament, which, while it merely affects to regulate the Cor p ,ration of London, attempts not only t o d es t roy t le powers of usefulness of that body by confisca ting its tnutage dues, but establishes a principle, which, if permitted to prevail in this case, may be engrafted at any future period upon the general Act by which all other Municipal corporations in the country are now governed. The act, to which this bill professes to be assimi lated, so far from abolishing any of the local dues bel•mging to the several corporations included with in its operations, recognises all such dues in express terms as part of their legitimate property. Under the present bill these dues, which the Corporation purchased from the Crown, and has enjoyed upwards of 600 years, are proposed to be taken away without consent or compensation, by an act of power on the part of the Imperial Parlia ment of England, which has recently exhibited to the world its extreme sensitiveness upon questions affecting the feudatory and proprietary rights of in dividuals and communities in the most distant parts of the globe in which the power of the Briti.h Parliament is felt. The accompanying papers set forth in a few sen tences the title of the Corporation to inetage dues, and its reasons why they should not be confiscated by Parliament. -In order that this subject may be. fully under stood by the members of ycur municipal body, I have sent by this post a number of copies of these documents, that you may circulate them among the members of your corporation It is not pretended by the promoters of the bill that the Corporation of London, during the six centuries it has possessed these revenues, has ever abused its trust ; on the contrary, the Crown Com missioners, who, iu 1834, and again in 1854, insti tuted a most inquisitorial investigation into its cor porate affairs, reported that they had not been able to discover any act of corruption or malversation on the part of the corporation or its officers. Tne title of the corporation to these dues cannot he disputed ; if it were otherw!se, it ought to be done before the proper tribunals established in this country to inquire into all questions affecting the rights and wrongs of persons and property within the jurisdiction of the British laws. The attempt to deprive the corporation of Lon don of this portion of its property by legislative instead of j udicial means, is based—it is understood —upon three principle., which, if recognised by Parliam nt wilt be subversive of all corporate rights and prove dangerous to every description of pro perty, in whatever hands it may be found. 1. It is said that incorporeal sourc s of revenue, such as metage dues, port dues, town dues, &c., are not entitled to the same pro•ection and secu rity as rents and revenues derivable from corporeal and tangible estates. 2. It is said that even if these. incorporeal sources of revenue are to be protected in the bands of noblemen, lords of manors, and other fortunate holders of royal grants of this description, yet they are not sacred in the hands of corporations, and rely be dealt with as Parliament thinks fit. 3. If from the increase of population—if from the altered value of money, property in the hands of a nobleman or gentleman increases enormously in amount, he is congratulated as a fortunate man, and neither the Legislature nor the law assumes the right either to curtail his possessions or to in qu re how he is pleased to dispose of them. But it, is pretended that municipal corporations ought to governed by a different principle, and that the amount and mode of appropriation of revenu .s pur chased and possessed by corporations are legitimate subjects of inquiry at any time when, for any rea ,on, it is proposed to pre care their confiscation. The Crown Commissioners who investigated the conduc.', of the Corporation in 1854, after pro nouncing b Ali members and officers free from the charge of misconduct, avow this principle of action; for, without impugning the title of the Corporation or its rightful appropriation of the metage dues, they propose their abolition, because, as they sa) in their report, the Corporation will, after their confiscation, have enough left for purposes of pubs lie us-fulness, as well as for what they are pleased to describe as the means of "decent hospitality and splendour." Wh en the Government desired to revoke the Duke of Richmond's right to ls. a chaldron dues upon all coals exported from the Tyne and Consumed in England —when the Govetmuent wished to re take the Duke of Grafton's dues on all wine brought into the port of Loudon, the Government did not issue inquisitorial commissions to inquire when and where, and how and by what means, and from whom and for whae valuable considerations these noble dukes acquired these revenues, nor did they inquire their former or present amcunt ; still less was it asked how they spent tha en - mey, .what was the amount of their other possessions, or, if the coal and wine dues were taken away without compensa tion, what means they would have of sustaining the "decent hospitality aird splendour" of their station. If the Government had attempted, or Parliament had sanctioned such inquiries, with the intention of abolishing those dues, a cry of spoliation and confiscation would have Is.'m echoed by the pro perty classes throughout the realm. There can be no doubt but that every peer , every lord of a manor, aud every other personint o h f e t r he eal cro mp w o n ss , e b ss y u iizg ni a f i e l d y of the hereditary revenues peti againsti on s s , u w e h o ul a d v h o l a a v t e io p n r o e f sa e e n ti t o e n d a an b d ol the sacred righ ts of p ro p ert y . d i n r d e i s v i d t a u n a c l e If such would have been the practice of indivi duals in such a case, the Corporation of Loudon trusts that the corporations of the United Kingdom will combine in the defence of the principle which the Corporation of London is called upon, the third time in the course of six centuries, to assert and maintain. To render such assistance effective it must be prompt. You will perceive by the accompanying documents that an effort will be made in the House of Commons to get the bill recommitted. A motion to that effect will be made in the course of the next week, when a petition in its favour, somewhat re sembling the enclosed draft, will be of great value. The Corporation will likewise feel much obliged if you will in the interim apprise your representatives in Parliament of your wish that our application should have the benefit of their support. —I have the honour to be., Sir, your ob e di en t servant, H. A. I'VIEREWETRER, Town Clerk. THE OUTWARD WEST INDIA. AND PACIFIC MAILS.— The steamship Magdalena, Capt.
