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 patriatic 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 oar esteemed contemporary. It must be remembered, in the first instance, that the matter is one of no ordinary nature, but aff , cting in an intimate manner the destinies of no less than 150,000,000 of GOD'S creatures ! 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 CREIT SING intimated years and years ago, their wealth or want, their cul ture or ruin, 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 ! 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 Savereign. We are bound to consider within the next few months whether or not, during the con siderable interval of time before specified, we shall band over again " one hundred and fifty millions of human beings" 'to the almost irresponsible authori t y of a "corporation of capitalists." Hitherto we have postponed the settlement of this gigantic political 1 difficulty with a neg li g ence in the highest degree I culpable, and i n di cat i ve o f a ver y s hameless 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 ' newel of the powers entrusted to the Court of Direc tors in Leadenhall•street devolved uponthheavCeenbtereanl Government, the interests of the nation almost exclusively concentrated upon some quest i 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, cod the nation having but just accomplished the labour of Catho bi letiactcianrncarried aotin the Emancipation, was involved in f t o h r e ms absorbing ahou t t to be excited u bythe generalprojected g a e r e i- zation of the Commons Rouse of Parliament.

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 I 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 poverisbed 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 new 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 inst,ad of 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 our Government ! GOD grant that England may in all respects regard the sacred rights of Hindostan, end that the Oriental races may have no longer reason to abhor the supremacy of their trading conquerors! The Ldian question will now very speedily hate to be sifted in Commission, the result of that examine. tion will have to be debated in the Legislature, and the 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 subject e d 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 l" Party spirit, moreover, must at length give way in a matter over which it has hitherto exercised a disgraceful and alarming predominance. '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 aa t m h nn eau addition da c a it e t tti n iaoo t snn l , y conquered territories of the Siekhs, the the n e d Belo actuale t l ho revenue e c v h pe e nu e u s o , ej a have oa un dr secured etahs ete r sn by ut i t e he i to aonf Sd th 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.! For a detailed exposition of these and other melancholy truths of a similar charact e r we wou ld h ere, there fore, f o r th e cogen t reasons a l rea d y enumerated, direct the most earnest attention o f the English public to the arguments advanced upon the subject by the New Quarterly. Humanity not less than I patriotism imperatively demand at this juncture that the condition of the Hindoo multitude should be weighed in the balance of judgment by every generous I 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 I 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. D'EYNCOURT, 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 aENay MonGAN, 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 he could resume possession of it the prisoner seized quietly to the seat he had left in the front. Before 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 dete rm i ne dl y b ent upon h i s purpose, h a d suc ceeded in ge tti ng the little fellow ' s legs over the i ron 'oar, but th e b oy c l ung 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 he but very little donbt 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, and after striking him several sharp blows in the face, declared with an oath that he would fling him over next. The prisoner then seized h o ld o f ,h i m by the projected over th e b ar - t h h a e i r u o p f p h e r i s part s d f and hi forciblyperson dragged him d own until tier, and 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 bad not been for the fortunate arrival of several other officers, with whose assistance the prisoner was at length over powered and secured." MGRGAN, the intended vic tim, said that he was wholly at a loss to account for the savage conduct the prisoner had exhibited towards him, as the prisoner was au 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 to have been as unprovoked as it was aggra vated. These 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 , he 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 " he repeatedly interrupted them, and assailed them with the foulest invectives." Tha 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 bim over into the pit, a fall of 70 f ee t, th e consequences o f w hi c h attempt, if successful, would most probably have been the lai's death, and serious injury to the persons in the pit on whom he would have been pre cipitated—that he seized the man (LAMBERT) 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 51. for each of the three as saults, 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. D'EYNCOURT punishes this " most wanton out rage" by fining him 51. for two of the assaults (quite forgetting that on the constable STANNABD), " in de fault to stand committed to the House of Correction for tvo 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 th e max i mu m of punish ment was not fully merited, we know nothing of law or justice. On the same day, when Mr. VEYNCOURT 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 JOHN WELLS was convicted of a violent assault Upon MATTHEW GAMBLE, " who appeared with a dreadfully lacerated nose and his arm strapped to Lissid e ." Wi t h out t h e s li g h test provocat i on, while GAMXLE wa s spea ki ng with in the streeton the pr ev i ous Monday night, WELLS came up, abused both, knockedcnAhsnis down, friend C kicked E him about the head and body while insensible, and then, on Gastßee'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. For these two assaults—unprovoked, violent, and most aggravated—" the worthy magistrate" (we re gret that his name is not given) fined the ruffian 405., and in default of payment committed him for 21 days' imprisonment. Justice at Guildhall and W orship -street is some what capricious. This WELLS might have been fined or sentenced to three months' hard labour, in default of Paying the fine, for each offence. He is let off with 40s. fine, or twenty.one days' imprisonment, though be 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 leniency was a set-off to that of Mr. D'EYNCOURT. 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 as k a penny from Charity, as it is to b rea k 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 GENTLEM AN AT TUE SAINT ALMAN'S HOTEL, CIIIRLES•STREET, lIAYMARKET.—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 from inquiries made by the re porter that the deceased, whose name is supposed to be Bloomfield, entered tha 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 West 58 C, who immediately sent for Mr. Tuthill, surgeon, of No. 8, Charles -street, who was speedily in attendance, and di rectly he saw the deceased pronounced 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 have been received from Van Deimen's Land to the 12th of June, which give, incidentally, a bad account of the prospects of the flocks in the colony of Vic toria. The following extract furnishes some details, but it may be hoped th a t the evils described in it are limited to particular localiti es :—" 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. illany of the squatters have no lambs, while the consump tion of fresh meat is tar 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."

The market closed with a hard ening tendency. The sales comprised 7,000 American, 350 Pernam and Maranham at 64-d. to 7,-}d., 200 Bahia at 61d. to 7d., 300 Egyptian at qcl. to 3d,, and 300 Surat at 31d. to 414. per lb —Railway Shares acre more active at rather higher prices. The circular of Messrs. SChi Mier 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 small stock for sale havirg checked the previous animated demand and up ward tendency of prices, and our quotation for middling was then 10 to 101 e. The same day, prices were still more in favour of buyers, only about 1,500 bales oheng ivg hands, at a decline of to ie. On Monday, there was an ample supply on the market, and holders meet ing the demand freely, the sales summed up 2,500 bales, at steadier pric-'s. 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 Niagara'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 influence of largo receipts, 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, againat 23,961 bales received. With regard to the liberal supplies coming forward and exceeding the ri ceipts of the same periodinfrr last year tharaskt theeady by 9,672 bales, from which it might be 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 receipts of this week, show a decided falling off in quality, the finer descriptions becoming scarcer and the bulk of supplies classing rather under good middling. The staple, 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 21d, middling 9d, good middling 10d to 10i,d, middling fair 101 d to loid, fair I Id to 1 lid, good fair 1 lid. 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 market at New York is thus described:— _ Trade continues animated i n th e hi ghest degree, at very full prices. No signs of weak ness appear from s tocks in disproportionate abundance to the demand, and the demand is entirely for consumption. Delaines are moving freely atthooupgenhin prices.

The reduced stocks of dress goods, delaines, and prints and ginghams sell freely for good qualities. Woollens aro 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 west ern, northern, this state, and the near by-trade aro large buyers in the general market." Immigration into America continued on a large scale. In two days 3.721 rersons have arrived at New York, chiefly from England and Ireland, but a'so trona Ilam burgh and Havre. The exports of tnerchandize from New York during the three weeks, to S:ptembcr 25, amounted to 4,628,973 dollars, and the imports to 9,384 764 do lars ' showing, therefore, a heavy balance against America. The shipment of specie this year from New York had been 20,652,000 dollars.
