A remarkable and, in many respects, masterly paper on the subject of the East Indian Company's Charter, appears in the current number of the New Quarterly.* The extraordinary importance of the question involved in this subject commands for it, at once, the attention to which it must at all times have been acknowledged to be entitled, but which at the pre sent juncture has become absolutely imperative with every humane and patriotic Englishman. Under any circumstance we should have welcomed an argument in favour of the obvious and inalienable rights of our Asiatic dependents, but now, when the intrinsic value, or rather the actual existence, of those rights is about to be brought under the consideration of the Imperial Legislature, we are anxious to further with all pos sible earnestness the statements here appositely put forward by our esteemed contemporary. It must be remembered, in the first instance, that the matter is one of no ordinary nature, but affecting in an intimate manner the destinies of no less than 150,000,000 of GOD'S creatures I Upon the decision about to be arrived at by the Parlia ment of Great Britain will depend the happiness or the misery of that astonishing number of our fellow beings—their happiness or misery, recollect, for twenty years to come—as CHEIT SING intimated years and years ago, their wealth or want, their cul ture or rain, their life or death, under the still problematic influence of a good or an evil Govern ment. A grand, nay, more—a very solemn and very awful reflection I A reflection which should weigh upon the conscience of every thinking man in the United Kingdom with the sense of a supreme and fearful responsibility. It reminds us in an astounding manner of the vastness of the administrative labour which has devolved within the last century upon the nucleus of the Anglo-Saxon race, namely, upon those members of the great family of mankind who happen to be denizens of this little cluster of islands —the inhabitants of what may be called the British Archipelago. What we are required at this juncture to decide is, simply the relation in which, during the next twenty years, the Hindoo slave shall stand in regard to his conqueror and so-called protector, the Trader Sovereign. We are bound to consider within the next few months whether or not, during the con siderable interval of time before specified, we shall hand over again " one hundred and fifty millions of human beings" to the almost irresponsible authority of a "corporation of capitalists." Hitherto we have postponed the settlement of this gigantic political difficulty with a negligence in the highest degree culpable, and indicative of a very shameless and flagrant indifference. England has allowed her attention to be diverted again and yet again from the solemnity of the question therein submitted to her scrutiny and judgment by occurrences inferior in themselves, but more closely affecting her own fortunes, and some times, it must be admitted, her own stability. Pre cisely as the time has come round in which the re newal of the powers entrusted to the Court of Direc tors in Leadenhall-street devolved upon the Central Government, the interests of the nation have been a lmost exclusively concentrated upon some questi on more immediately influencing the fortunes of the British multitude. It was thus, in 1782, when the people thought more of themselves than of their Asiatic fellow- creatures in the presence of the Northern Confederacy, of the war with France, and o f American independence. It was thus twenty years afterwards, when Europe was involved in the struggle consequent upon the French Revolution. Twenty years again elapsed, and we were still battling fiercely with our gold and our arms, with military tactics and political intrigues, against the veteran soldiers of the Emperor NAPOLEON. Another twenty years, and the nation having but just accomplished the labour of Catholic Emancipation, was involved in the absorbing agitation excited by the projected re forms about to be carried out in the general organi zation of the Commons another twenty years hailveotiesleapsoefd,Paanrldi a mEenngtia England • See pp. 343-352 in the October number (iv.) of 6 , The New Quarterly Review and Digest of Current Li terature," a periodical characterised by delightful fresh ness and distinguished ability, although published at less than half the price of its other quarterly contemporaries. H oo kh an3 an d Eons, 15, Old Bond- street. summoned once more to the task of deciding impar tially, deliberately, and—let it never be forgotten— most responsibly in what manner the affairs of Hin dostan are henceforth to be regulated, in what form one hundred and fifty millions of our " fellow-sub jects" in that quarter of the globe are to witness the permanent stabilitation of their government. Happily a comparative lull has at this juncture de scended upon the Supreme Councils of the United Kingdom. The Northern Confederacy has been broken up. The war with France has terminated. The American Independence has been arranged and recognised. The French Revolution has passed through very many phases of its development, through agony and through glory, until it has assumed at least an aspect bearing somewhat the semblance of consoli ' dation. The Great NAPOLEON has been dead more than thirty years from the present time, his ashes have been reposing more than ten years under the gorgeous dome of the Invalides, the heir of his fortunes and the representative of his family has been presiding for nearly four years over the administration of the French Republican Govern ment. Catholic Emancipation has been acceded to as incorporated among the statute-laws of the realm even by the most earnest supporters of the English Church Establishment. Parliamentary Reform, so far from being considered impracticable even by the most prejudiced minority, is allowed on almost all hands to be a question necessitating the toils of a progressive and properly graduated development. The Free-Trade System has been at length accepted as an unavoidable necessity, even by the more in fatuated sticklers for the dogmas of Protection. The Revolutionary turbulence of 1848 and 1849 has sub sided into a complete and universal tranquillity. Ireland itself, relieved from the presence of its disloyal and infuriated agitators, has subsided into a state of quietude long unknown amongst her in poverished and unfortunate population. It is under these propitious circumstances, it is at this pacific juncture, it is in the midst of such wide-spread pros perity, that England finds herself again summoned to the task of deliberating upon the often-deferred problem of her Oriental Government. GOD grant that the Parliament of Great Britain may acquit itself of the solemn responsibility now devolving upon it in a manner becoming the legislators of those vast and scattered realms which alike own al legiance to the gentle sceptre weilded by the hand of the English SOVEREIGN ! GOD grant that the result of our approaching deliberation may not prove by the lapse of time that the Anglo-Saxon rule in the East has continued to be a curse instead cf a blessing to 150,000,000 of souls, created like ourselves, redeemed like ourselves, and entrusted by PROVIDENCE to the care and the conscience of oar Government ! GOD grant that England may in all respects regard the sacred rights of Hindoatan, and that the Oriental races may have no longer reason to abhor the supremacy of their trading conquerors! The Indian question will now very speedily have to be sifted in Commission, the result of that examina tion will have to be debated in the Legislature, and :he decision arrived at in consequence will then have to be sanctioned by the Crown and enforced by the Government. Our legislators and administrators will consequently have to consider within the limit of next year's Parliamentary session whether the powers entrusted hitherto to the Court of Directors shall be renewed, whether one hundred and fifty millions of men shall be subjected again for another quarter of a cen tury to the rule of a " corporation of capitalists," or whether England shall assume to herself the enor mous and responsible privilege of thoroughly a n d radically re-organizing the whole system of the Bri tish Oriental Government. In order to solve this difficulty, it must no longer be said, " the question will be taken up in haste, decided in haste, and we shall crowd the discussions into a few weeks, and postpone all discussion until the eve of the decision," as was formerly remarked with painful accuracy of prediction by Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH. It must no longer be said to the national Representatives, as was indignantly done by Mr. MACAULAY when he occu pied the position of Secretary to the Board of Control —" A broken head in Coldbath-fields excites more attention in this House than three pitched battles in Hindostan !" Party spirit, moreover, must at length give way in a matter over which it has hitherto exercised a disgraceful and alarming predominauce. We must no longer wit ness such odious tergiversation as was witnessed in 1784, when Fox advocated and DUNDAS successfully opposed an East India Bill identical in character with the measure which only two years before, namely, in 1782, Fox had opposed and DUNDAS ad vocated ! Proceedings very different from these must now, we believe in our hearts, illustrate the deliberations of the British Legislature. For the anxious observation of the country must at last be directed to the decision arrived at in regard to the future conduct of the affairs of Hindostan. The difficulty can be no more blinked. The country can no longer be hoodwinked in refe rence to the conduct which has been pursued by the Court of Directors. Already the people of England have heard from the lips of an authoritative witness that most extraordinary con fession, that " the larger the territory the greater the debt," under the hitherto tolerated system of con fused and blundering administration. Yet more the inhabitants of these islands have found, even now, that that lamentable acknowledgment has been most de plorably verified ! For while it has been seen that the recently conquered territories of the Siekhs, the Mahrattas, and the Beloochees, have secured by the annexation of Sande, the Punjaub and the Sutlej, an addition to the actual revenue of our eastern pro vinces of 5,000,0001., a permanent additional outlay of more than 6,000,0001. has thereby been incurred showing that there has been actually added to the general deficit by these means, a new deterioration of 1,472,0021. sterling I Altogether it proves, on inquiry into the official statistics of 1852, that the Indian revenue amounts to only 20,221,9521., while the Indian debt (exclusive of what is termed the " home debt") amounts to 44,204,0801.1 For a detailed exposition of these and other melancholy truths of a similar character we would here, there fore, for the cogent reasons already enumerated, direct the most earnest attention of the English public to the arguments advanced upon the subject by the New Quarterly. Humanity not less than patriotism imperatively demand at this juncture that the condition of the Hincloo multitude should be weighed in the balance of judgment by every generous and conscientious Englishman. Extraordinary decisions sometimes are given in the Metropolitan Police Courts. One of these was given, last Wednesday, in Worship-street, by Mr. D'EYNCOURT, the magistrate. We shall state the facts as reported, give the magistrate's judgment and remarks, and leave the public to judge between the delinquent and the magistrate, the offence and the punishment. A. man, named CHARLES JONES, described as "an athletic, resolute-looking fellow," was brought up at Worship-street, before Mr. DTYNCOURT, on Wednesday, charged with the committal of a series of scandalous outrages. It was proved, in evidence, that a small lad, aged thirteen years, named HENRY MORGAN, was in the gallery of the Standard Theatre, in Shoreditch, on the preceding evening; he felt very thirsty during the performance, and, having gone out to procure a draught of water, returned qui heo e o tl n y ld to re th an e m se e at po h s e se h ss a i d on le o f i ft it the tb th f e e pr r i o s n o t. Before nerseized him under both his arms, raised him up over the outer part of the gallery, and violently attempted to throw him down headlong into the pit. To use the words of WILLIAM LAMBERT (One of the door keepers of the theatre), " the prisoner, who appeared to be determinedly bent upon his purpose, had suc ceeded in getting the little fellow's legs over the iron bar, but the boy clung with desperation to the rail, and screamed for help in the greatest terror, as the depth from the gallery to the pit was but little short of 70 feet, and if he had been hurled over there could be but very little doubt that he would have been killed. Witness, however, instantly caught hold of the lad, and succeeded with some difficulty in rescu ing him from his perilous position, but he had no sooner done so than the prisoner made a rush at him, an d after striking him several sharp blows in the face, declared with an oath that he would fling him over dragged d h e down i thew n until bar_ next. The prisoner then s e i ze d h old of him by the hair of his head and forciblyerson projectedl (r the upper part of his person LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 12, 1852. rier, und he felt perfectly satisfied that his assailant would speedily have effected his purpose, as he was on the point of losing his balance, if it had not been for the fcrtunate arrival of several other officers, with whose assistance the prisoner was at length over powerel and secured." MORGAN, the intended vic tim, esirl that he was wholly at a loss to account for the savtge conduct the prisoner had exhibited towards him, as the prisoner was an entire stranger to him, and he had not offered him the slightest provocation previously to his seizing him up and attempting to pitch him over into the pit. In truth, the assault seems tc have been as unprovoked as it was aggra vated. Those assaults with attempt to murder—for they were nothing less—were not the only acts of CHARLES JONES, the prisoner, on that night and in that place. When he had grasped LAMBERT, the door-keeper, and attempted to throw him over into the pit also, an assistant con- stable of the theatre, named STANNARD, made an exertion to extricate LAMBERT from the grasp of the prisoner, who was at that time holding him down by the hair of his head, and making desperate efforts to force him over the railing, the prisoner commenced a similar attack upon him also, and endeavoured to hurl him down into the pit with such an exertion of muscular strength that they were both in imminent danger of losing their lives. These repeated out rages were fully proved by the persons upon whom they were successively committed—by the boy MORGAN, by LAMBERT the door-keeper, and by STANNARD the constable. The police report states that the prisoner's only defence was a vociferous denial of the entire facts, and a declaration (in the coarsest language) that the whole account given of the transaction was a tissue of lies from first to last. And, to carry out the evi dence of the prisoner's conduct, it should be remarked that while the witnesses were giving their testimony " ho repeatedly interrupted them, and assailed them with the foulest invectives." Thi charges, as made and proved, were three : That, without provocation of any sort, this athletic man took a boy of thirteen years, raised him up in his arms, and attempted to throw him over into the pit, a fall of 70 feet, the consequences of which attempt, if successful, would meat probably have been the lad's death, and serious injury to the persons in the pit on whom he would have been pre cipitated—that he seized the man (LAMBEET) who bad rescued the lad, struck him several times, seized him by the hair of the head, attempted to throw him over into the pit, and was only stopped by the joint efforts of several policemen ; and that the prisoner attempted to throw over one of these officers also, and was prevented with difficulty. What was the magistrate's decision in this series of assaults with intent to commit murder ? Mr. D'EYNCOURT (it is duly re ported) " characterised it as a most wanton outrage." He might have committed the ruffian to trial on the charge of felony, or he had a power of summarily fining him Si. for each of the three as-1 ssults, or of giving him three months in prison on two cases, or two months for the assault on the policeman, without the option of paying a fine. It may be a question whether the ruffian had not done sufficient to be indicted capitally, but, at any rate, on the evidence against him, a judge, on conviction in the Criminal Court, would most probably have sentenced him to transportation. Mr. VEYNCOHRT punishes this " most wanton out rage" by fining him 51. for two of the assaults (quite forgettin g that on the constable STANNARD), " in de fault to stand committed to the House of Correction for two separate terms of one month each, one to take effect at the expiration of the other." So, the punishment in Worship street Police court for a series of brutal assaults (every one of which, if successful might have caused death to one or more persons), is no more than a fine of five pounds, or two months' imprisonment ! If this was not a case in which the maximum of punish ment was not fully merited, we know nothing of law or justice. On the same day, when Mr. IYEYNCOHRT gave what we cannot help thinking a most inadequate punishment for a very serious offence, a case some what similar came on before the Magistrate at Guild hall. A fellow named Jos WELLS was convicted of a violent assault upon MATTHEW GAMBLE, " who appeared with a dreadfully lacerated nose and his arm strapped to his side." Without the slightest provocation, while GAMBLE was speaking with his friend CHASE in the street on tlse previous Monday night, WELLS came up, abused both, knocked CHASE down, kicked him about the hearl and body while insensible, and then, on Garaßra's interfering to assist his friend, knocked him down also, and inflicted so much per sonal injury as to break his collar-bone, and render it necessary that he should be taken to the hospital. assaults —unpr ovo k e d, v i o l en t , an d most two a ted aggr a the worthy magistrat e " ( we re gret that his name is not g i ven ) fi ne d t h e ruff i an 405., and in default of payment comm itt e d hi m f or 21 days ' imprisonment. these v Justice at Guildhall and Worship -street is some what capricious. This WELLS might have been fined 51., or sentenced to three months' hard labour, in default of paying the fine, for each offence. lie is let off with 40s. fine, or twenty-one days' imprisonment, though he was liable to indictment for unlawfully wounding, the punishment of which would probably have been eighteen months or two years' imprisonment with hard labour. This l eniency was a set-off to that of Mr. D'ETNCOURT. But, if a wretched object had been charged with beg ging a penny in the streets, he would have been punished with three months' imprisonment. There fore, it is four times as great a crime for Poverty to ask a penny from Charity, as it is to break one man's collar-bone and materially injure another man; or to commit three assaults, either of which, if carried out as the ruffian intended, might have terminated fatally to one or more, obtains two-thirds of the punishment inflicted on simple mendicity.

SUICIDE OF A GENTLEMAN AT THE SAINT A LUAN'S HOTEL, eta LES-STR EET, HAYMARKET.--Last night, about twelve o'clock, the utmost consternation pre vailed at the above hotel, in consequence of its having been discovered that a gentleman had committed suicide in the coffee-room. It appeared 'rem inquiries made by the re porter that the deceased, whose name is supposed to be Bloomfield, entered the coffee-room of the hotel above-men tioned about eleven o'clock on the previous night, and called for a sausage and glass of ale, which were supplied to him by the waiter. At that time deceased was busily employed writing. About a quarter of an hour afterwards, on the waiter entering the room to attend on a customer, he was horrified at finding the deceased lying on the floor apparently lifeless. The waiter gave the alarm, and then called in W es t 58 C, who immedi a t e ly sen t for Mr. Tothill, surgeon, of No. 8, Charles-street, who was speedily in attendance, and di rectly he saw the de cease d pr onounced life to be extinct. On the table was an ounce bottle, which had contained prussic acid, and which was empty. A letter and bundle of papers sealed up in brown paper, and directed to the coroner, was also found on the seat. It is supposed, from letters found on him, that the unfortunate deceased held an appointment at Saint Domingo. Only a few pence were found upon him. Letters h ave b een rece i v ed from Van Dei men ' s Land to th e 12 t h o f J une, w hi c h give, incid en t a ll y , a b ad account of the prospects of the flocks in the colony of Vic toria. The following extract furnishes some details, but it may be hoped that the evils described in it are limited to particular localities :—" I have deplorable news from Port Philip —many a rich man ruined there. The shipments of wool from Victoria will be much less this year than formerly. Many of the squatters h ave no lam b s, wh i le the consump.. tion of fresh meat is far greater than usual. The scab has also broken out in many parts of the colony. In Port Al bert 100,000 sheep are being destroyed by foot rot. Thus you see, while some are making fortunes, others are being ruined."

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 8,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were taken on speculation. The market closed with a hard ening tendency. The sales comprised 7,000 American, 350 Pernam and Maranham at 6d. to 7fd., 200 Bahia at 6:0. to 7d., 300 Egyptian at 64d. to Bd., and 300 Surat at 31d. to 4P. per lb.—Railway Shares were more active at rather higher prices. The circular of Messrs. Schroeder and Quen tell, dated New Orleans, Sept. 18, and published by Mr. James Irvine, of Liverpool, contains the following remarks on the Cotton market:—" Our review of the 11th instant, presented the Cotton market as closing rather dull, the high pretensions of holders and the sm a ll s t oc k f or sale having checked the previous animated de man d an d up ward tendency of prices, and our quotati on f or m i ddling was then 10 to 1040. The same day, prices were still more in favour of buyers, only about 1,500 bales chang ing hands, at a decline of to jo. On Monday, there was an ample supply on the market, and holders meet ing the demand freely, the sa l es summed up 2,500 bales, at steadier prices. On Tuesday, the accounts per steamer Humboldt, of 31st August, of Liverpool, came to hand, and the demand continuing active, about 4,000 bales were taken. .Wednesday, the Niag a ra's accounts of 4th instant from Liverpool were received, and 3,000 bales sold at firm prices; Thursday the demand was less active, only about 1,500 bales finding purchasers, and yesterday, about 2,000 bales; prices showing a decline of about ic. under the i n fl uence o f l argo rece i pts , ad vancing freights, and a dull exchange market. To-day the sales, as far as reported, amount to about 2,000 bales, and the market closes steady at our quotations below. The greater part of the business done was for Great Britain and the North, buyers for France ope rating only on a limited scale. The sales of the week sum up 14,500 bales, against 23,961 bales received. With regard to the liberal supplies coming forward and exceeding the receipts of the same period last year already by 9,672 bales, from which it might b© inferred that the crop in the Southern Cotton region, is not so backward as has been represented, it should not be lost sight of, that this year all our tributaries are in a navigable condi tion, which was not the case last year, and that last year, moreover, planters were too busy with picking to attend much to forwarding their crops in the beginning of the season. The same causes, no doubt, will keep our market amply supplied for the next month, whilst last year the low state of the inland rivers kept back large quantities, until late in winter. The receipt s o f this week, show a decided falling off in quality, the finer descriptions becoming scarcer and the bulk of supplies classing rather under good middling. Th e s t a pl e , gene rally speaking, continues good; this week, however, a large proportion of the receipts is badly ginned, and what is called " napped;" we observe also much leafy cotton making its appearance already. The accounts of the growing crop commence to cause serious apprehen sions. The damage done by the storms and freshets in the Atlantic States is estimated as very considerable, and in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee, the com plaints of bollworm and the fast spreading dry rot are on the increase. It would be premature to estimate the loss thus far sustained, or the probable yield; it is, however, more than probable that a continuance of pre sent uncertain prospects, must tend to maintain and ad vance our present currency of prices. We quote to-day low middling 9/d, middling 9d, good middling 10d to 10id, middling fair 101 d to 10id, fair 11 d to 11p, good fair Ilid. The quotations apply to strict classifications of good staple cotton, the prices for such as wanting in staple being more irregular. Receipts at this port, since Ist September, 40,082 bales. Exports since Ist Sep tember, 11,802 bales." The state of the dry goods mailtet at New York is thus described:— " Trade continues animated in the highest degree, at very full prices. N . o signs of weakne ss appear from stocks in disproportionate abundance to th e d emand, and the demand is entirely for consumptio n . D e l a i nes are moving freely at opening prices. The demand has scarcely abated, though the sales have been immense. The country trade is far from satisfied. Cloths are brisk, with . a better supply, an d pr i ces are regular. Fancy cassimeres and satinets are yet very active and at good rates. Shawls are in fair request at regular rates. French goods are remarkably brisk, both at auction and at private sales. Th e supp l y is yet below the still large demand, and p r i ces are firm accordingly. Im porters find it their interest to send the goods from the ship to tho auction to invite competition among the buyers. Cloths and doeskins are selling readily at full rates. The arrivals are not large, as the s teamers and packets do not b r i ng full cargoes . British goods are less active, with a b e tt er supply, but prices . are steady. The re d uce d s t oc k s o f dress goods, delanes, and prints and in hams sell freely for good qualities. Woollens are in demand for the winter descriptions, and of some kinds for spring garments , to supply distant markets. The woollen jobbing trade never was so active as now, and as it has been from the commencement, which was earlier than usual, The clothiers are still buying. The western, northe rn, this state, and the near by-trade are large buyers in the general market." Immigration into America continued on a large scale. In two days 3,721 persons have arrived at New York, chiefly from England and Ireland, but also from Ham burgh and Havre. The exports of merchandize from New York during the three Reeks, to September 25, amounted to 4,628,973 dollars, and the imports to 9,384.764 dollars, showing, therefore, a heavy balance against America. The shipment of specie this year from New York had teen 20,652,000 dollars.
