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 Biitsin 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 vi legiance to the gentle sceptre weilded by the hand of the English SOVEREIGN ! GOD grant that the z esult 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 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 ia respects regard the sacred rights of Hindostan, 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 the decision arrived at in consequence will then have to be sanctioned by the Crown end 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 end 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 predominance. We must no longer wit ness such odious tergiversation as was witnessed in 1784, when Fox advocated and DUNDAS successfully opposed en East India Bill identical in character with the measure which only two years before, namely, in 1782, Fox had opposed and Dusznas 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 cen no longer ba 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 bas teen seen that the recently conquered territories of the Siekhe, the Mahrattas, and the Beloochees, have secured by the annexation of Scinde, the Punjaub and the Sutlej, an addition to the actual revenue of our eastern pro vinces of 6,000,0001., 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 l Altogether it proves, on inquiry into the official statistics of 18.52, that the Indian revenue amounts to only 20,221,9521., while the Indian debt (exclusive of what is termed the " home debt") amounts to 44,204,080/.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 Hindoo multitude should Ea weighed in the balance of judgment by every generous and conscientious Englishman. Extraordinary decisions sometimes are given in the Metropolitan Polico Courts. One of these was given, last Wednesday, in Worship•street, by Mr. D'EYNCOURT, the magistrate. We shall state the fects 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 JoaEs, described rs " an athletic, resolute-looking fellow," was brought up at Worship-street, before Mr. VEYNCOURT, on Wednesday, charged with the committal of a series of scandalous outrages. It was proved, in evidence, that a smell lad, aged thirteen years, named HENRY MORGAN, was in the gallery of the Standard Theatre, in Shoreditch, on the preceding evening ; he felt g very thirsty during the pe rformance, and, having out to procure a draug ht of water, returned quietly to the seat he had left in the front. Before be could resume possession of it the prisoner seized 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 keeprs of the theatre), " the prisoner, who appeared to be determinedly bent upon his purpose, h:d 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, vs the depth from the gallery to the pit was but little short k be ill b ed u . t v l e v ry itu l e i t s t s l , e h d o o w n e b v t e r h i a n t s t h a n e of 70 feet, and if he hod b een h ur l e d over th ere cou ld o c u a l u d g h h t a v h e o b l d e e o n f tly w the lad, and succeeded with some difficulty in rescu ing him from his perilous position, but he had no sooner done so than the p r i soner ma d e a rus h a t hi m , 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 hold of him by the hair of his head and forcibly dragged him down until the upper part of his person projected over the bar rier, and be 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 fortunate arrival of several other officers, with whose assistance tha prisoner was at length over powered and secured." AIGRGAN, the intended vic tim, said that be 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 et that time holding him down by the hair of his heal, 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 coramitted—by the boy MORGAN, by LAMBERT the door-keeper, and by STANNARD the constable. The police report states that the prisoner's only dufence 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 lest. And, to carry out the evi dence of the pr'soner'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." The charges, as merle and proved, were three : That, without provocation of any sort, this athletic M2ll tack a boy of thirteen years, raiA him up in his arms, and attempted to throw him over into the pit, a fell of 70 fee, the consequences of which attempt, if successful, would mest probably, have been the lad's . death, and serious injury to the Jsons in the pit on whom he would have been pre cipitated—that he seized the man (Leeinerr) who had rescued the lad, struck him several times, seized him by the hair of the heed, 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 bad 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. 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 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 eothing of law or justice. On the same day, when M. IYEYNCOUBT 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 Joliet WELLS was convicted of a violent assault upon MATTHEW GAMBLE, "who apperred with a dreadfully strapped to his side." Without t h e s li g ht es t p rovo cation , while GAMBLE Was speakinghis h friend CEASE lacerated with no se and his arn in the street on the previous Monday night, WELLS came up, abused both, knocked CEASE down, kicked him about the head end body while insensible, end then, on GAMBLE'S interfering to essist his friend, knocked cessian rj him a down also, end inflicted so much per sonal his collet-bone, end render it y be taken to the hospitrl. neurtyhas that h t ue sbhroe kl Igor these t ults— unprovoked, violent, and most g name is not g i ven) f i ned the ruff i an 405., and in default o f p a yment committed him for 21 days' r o eta atgh r _ he s the worthy magistrate" (we re imprisonment. Justice at Guildhall and Worship-street is some what capricious. This WELLS might have been fined 51., or sentenced to thede months' herd labour, in default of pa) ing the fine, for each offence. He 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 p rob ably have been eighteen months imprisonment with hard labour. This set-off to th a t o f M r . D'E YNCOUF.T .

In conLequenco of its having been discovered that a gentleman hau committed suicide in the coffee-room. It appeared .:ono maJe by the re porter that the decea , cd, where name i 3 supposed to be Bloomfield, entered the coffee-room of the hotel above-men tioned about cloven o'clock on the previor s night, and called for a sausage and glo ss of ale, which wera su Tpl'ed to him by the waiter. At that time decea'cd was orsily employed writing. About a quarter of on hour :;wards, on the then calla; in West waiter entering the room to attend on a customer, he was horrified at finding the decersed, lying on the flo or apparent l y lifele - s. The waiter gav e the r 58 C, who immediately sent for 41r. Tote , )!, surgeon, of No. 8, Charles-street, who was speed ly in . attendanco, and di rectly he saw the deceased pronounced lice to be extinct' On the table was an ounce bottle, which lor.d intrined piossic 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 sear It is supposed from letters found on him, that the unfortunate decorscd 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, incidentaly, a bad account of the prospects of the flocks in the colony of Vic toria. The following extract furnishes some detailF, but it may bo honed that toe evils described in it r - e limited to Particular localities :—" I have deplorable news from Po - Lc Philip—many a rich man ruined there. The shipments of weal from Victoria will be much less this year than formerly. Many of the squatters have no lambs, while the consunq . tion to! fresh me - . 1 is far greater than ucLvl. The scab has also broken out in many parts of the colony. In Port Al belt 100,00 sheep are being destroyed by foot rot. Thus you see, while some are making fortunes, others are being rained."

Sun Office, Oct. 12, 1852. Otifienima giitt LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1852. 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 eights is about to be brought under the consideration of the Imperial Legislature, we are anxious to further with ell 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 en 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 CHEIT 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 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 bei ngs " to the almost irresponsibl A aut horit y of a't 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 io almost exclusively concentrated upon some question 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 nonce, and of American independence. It was thus twenty yearn afterwards, when Europa was involved in the Struggle consequent upon the French Revolution. Twenty years again elapsed, and we were still battling fiercely 'with our gold end our arms, with militnry tactics and political intrigues, against the vetei:an soldiers of the Emperor NAPOLEON. Another twevity 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 House of Parliament. "et another twenty years have elapsed, and England is • See pp. 343-352 in the October number (iv.) of " The New Quarterly Review an d D igest of Current Li terature," a periodical characterised by delightful frc , 813- fleas and distinguished ability, alth oug h published at less than half the price of its other quarterly coutcmporat tea. llookham and S'one, 15, Old Dud-street.

Seto ce ler and Quentell, 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 duhinli, thestant, presented the Cotton market as closing rather high pretensions of holders and the small stock for sale having checked the preeious animated demand and up ward tendency of prices, and our quotation for middling was then 10 to 101 c. The same day, prices were still more in favour of buyers, only about 1,500 bales chang ing hands, at a decline of to lc. On Monday, there was en ample supply on the market, and holders meet ing the demand freely, the sales 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 Niagara'a 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 Vic. under the influence of large receipts, ad vancing rreights, 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 be inferred that the crop in the Southern Cotton region, is not so backward 4S 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 cicssing 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 leaiy cotton malting its appearance already. The accounts of the growing crop commence to cause serious apprehen sions. The damage done by the storms and freshet , ' 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 aro 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 pricer. We quote to-day low middling 91d, middling qd, good middling 10d to 10{11, middling fair lOid to 102 d, fair lid to llid, good fair 1 lid. Tao 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 thin dereribed:— .` Trade continues animated in the highest degree, at very felt pricer. No signs of weakness appear fro m steaks in disproportionate abundenee to the demand, and the demand is entirely for consumption. Dele;nes are moving imply at opening prices. The demand has scarcely abated, though the sales have been immense. The country trade is far from satisfied. Cloths ere brisk, with a better supply, and prices are regular. Fancy Ci Idmeres and satinet , ' are yet very active and at geed rates. Shawls are in far request at regulrr rates. French goods are remarkably br;sk, both at auction and at private sates. The supply is yet below the still large demand, and prices are firm eecordingly. Im porters find it their interest to send the goods from the ship to the auction to invite competition among the buyers. Cloths red doeskins are selling readily at full rate:. The etrivels are not large, as the steamers and packets do not bring fell cargoes. British goods eine less aellve, with a bettor supply, but prices are steady. Tne reduced stocks of dress goods, delaines, end pints and Woollens ere in aemand for the w inter descri p tions, and gleghattas sell freely for g ood q ualities. of some kinds fur spring garments, to supply distant markets.

The Cincinnati Gazette gives the annexed synopsis of the ( - lade and commerce of that city for the year ending August 31, 1852: Among the priucipal articles exported rota Ciceih na`i. during the year were of pork and bacon 43,938 lal di 34,393 tierces, 131,560 barrels, end in bulk 3,912,94 3 porta& Of flour 408,211 home's; of corn 51,231 sr7ksi of cheese 150.689 boxes end 75 ct eks; of lard 115,54 5 kegs end 47,862 lor..rels; of butter 31,395 firkins and ke: a, and 3,006 barrels; of iron 172,049 pieces, 36,366 tnd 11,329 tons; of 655,793 barrels.

The imports of whiskey show an increase of 28,774 barrels as compared with the previous year, and the exports fire 276,124 barrels against 231,324. The value of the principal articles imported into Cincinnati do' ring the year is estimated at 24,715,331 dolls. Thevaine of the total imports is no less then 40,000,000 (bug. No statement of the value of the exports is given. The commercial statistics show that two hundred and sixty-seven different steam-boats arrived at the wbarve 9 dining the yeer, the registered tonnage of which was 60,543 tons, end their capacity may he set down 120,000 tons. The total number of eri:vals during the yeer Ives about 3,700. This shows sUght increase es compared with 1850-51, but the aggregate tonnage shows a considerable in' e creme in favour of this yerr, a beater number 0 ' large boats having been engegcd in the trade. During , the yerr twenty-seven wean-boats end six barges were bu'l.r, the total capacity of which is about nineteen thorsand tons; ten large boats are st'l on the stocks , end nct included in this estimate. The precise terms of the royal order noticed on S 3: turd ay under this head, for the voluntary conversion 01 the Spanish Deferred Debt are as follows: " Most Excellent Sir,—ln virtue of tho 2d article of the royal deem° of yesterday's date, and in accord with the p oposel of the Council of Ministers, her Majesty the Queen has deigned to declare that your Board maY, announce the conver s ion authorizA by the said row chore° in the form established by the same, for the sign of 400 millions of reels, end at the rata of 5 , 5 of Consolidated for 100 of Deferred Stock, and bath of foreign end home deb', during the half-year , which commences on the Ist inst., and will terminat e at the end of March ilex' This I say to you by roe order for the information and guidance of your board.
