Sun Office, Dec. 1851. extenintit LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, 1852 Recently we took occasion to comment upon the extraordinary contrast visible between the adminis tration of the affairs of Sinde by its illustrious con queror, and the mismanagement of other portions of our colonial empire under the influence of the dis astrous policy infused by Earl GREY into her MA JESTY'S Government. The latest accounts since then received from the seat of war at the Cape have only tended to assure us still more forcibly in preserving this remarkable contrast in the public recollection. Matters have become so involved, not merely among the Kafirs but among other races contiguous to our s cattered possessions, that it is nothing less than a consideration of most serious import to weigh the consequences of any prolonged perseverance in this most melancholy course of proceeding. What induces us, moreover, to insist thus upon the contrast revealed between the conduct of General Sir CHARLES NAPIER and such a man say as General Sir HARRY Ssurn, is the thought that whereas the latter has been cheered on by every conceivable encouragement, the former has been sub jected to all imaginable kinds of rebuff and vitupera tion, his splendid career not only as a conqueror but as an administrator being darkened by mingled in gratitude and misrepresentation. It has long been a matter of celebrity, nay, it has already become matter of history, that the organiza tion of the conquered province of Sinde by Sir CHARLES NAPIER was neither less brilliant nor less decisive than, in a military point of view, had been his two glorious victories of Meanee and Hyderabad. Within four months from the period of his crossing the frontiers of the magnificent country thus added to the bulk of our Oriental possessions, the victor, as we showed in our last allusion to the subject, had effectually repressed the spirit of mingled panic and insubordination. Added to which the ad vantages thus secured have proved since then to have been in no measure illusory or evanescent. Sinde has from that time until now contributed to the glory of our arms an d t o the credit of our administration. Yet th e conquest and organization of Sinde have hitherto called down upon the head of the author of both, little more than calumnies innumerable, and de preciation the most shameless. These facts we can not bat regard as the more lamentable, from a con sideration of the circumstances recounted by Sir WILLIAM NAPIER, in recently publish e d, made reference—circukmnostwanocetso the majority of the that masterly work of his and to w hi c h we have before now not sufficiently well which we believe are population, and such as we sh a ll h ence f or th seize every apportunity to diss em i nate among the commu nity. Let it be borne in mind, amongot ber things, that the disting uish edsoldier thus ungratefully maligned and slighted the astonishing achievements already effected e numerated when himself weighed down by the bitterest sae tion to a commander , t h at o f acute bodily Suffering' at a period of supre me emer g enc y. Insomuch was this the case, that at a most critical period of his career in Sinde, as its newly constituted Governor, we fi n d it mentioned of him by his brother, that " the sun stroke received by him in the field had so debilitated him that the medical men urged him to quit Sinde as the only chance of life," adding, that with a rare and.unexampled generosity, Lord ELLENBOROUGEI pro posed to go himself to the newly conquered province to conduct the internal affairs of its administration until the health of Sir CHARLES NAPIER should be so far restored as to admit of his assuming once more the offices and responsibilities of government ! What was the conduct of the illustrious soldier in this very difficult and alarming situation ? It is worthy of being recorded in the nobte and memorable words of his brother the historian. Having mentioned his rejection of the advice of his physicians, and his simultaneous evasion of the magnanimous offer of the allo of annalist of the the conquest wars f and rGeonvienrsnuoira:Gnenoewratlh, the the n annalist a also administration of Sinde, writes that Sir CHARLES NAPIER, " though he could only 'write lying on his side—the heat being above 132 degrees of Fahrenheit, in an artificially cooled t en t — though frequently a t th e point of death from exhaustion, he with stupendous energy continued to labour until he had reduced the evil influences of war, insurrection, and social confusion to LONDON, placidity, and cast the foundations of a new civilization." Yet, this is the soldier and the statesman, the con queror and the administrator, who has been pursued with so much virulent and implacable hostility by men jealous of his power and inimical to his policy, men who trembled to see the trenchant sword of the Captain severing in all directions the gordian knots of their entangled system of govern ment! This was the General and the Legislator who had the ground he stood upon undermined by intrigues and crammed with all kinds of diabolical slanders and misrepresentations, ready at each instant to explode at the very time when he was serving the cause of the Directors at the hazard of his own life, and in defiance of innumerable difficulties consoli dating the Sindian Administration Let the impor tant remarks we have above quoted and italicised be cherished in the popular recollection as the surest antidote to the misrepresentations of the antagonists of Sir CHARLES NAPIER. Let them especially and above all be remembered when the very different treatment of OUTRAM is considered. It will then be perceived how little justice is regarded by those maligners of the really meritorious and ap plauders of the really culpable. In further illustration of the atrocity of these under hand proceedings against Sir CHARLES NAPIER by men whom his very successes seem to have trans formed into his antagonists, it should by no means be forgotten, for example, that whereas the administra tion of the Conqueror of Sinde produced a surplus re venue to the general treasury, the last war in Kafir land cost England no less than 3,000,0001. sterling ; while the contrast of Sir CHARLES NAPIER'S conduct towards one race, and that pursued in a sort of blun dering imitation by Sir HARRY SMITE( towards ano ther, presents to us a spectacle still more remark able ! In Sinde it is well known, that after winning over the old warriors by his magnanimity, Sir CHARLES NAPIBR gave them arms and accoutrements, and on subsequently conducting them against the common enemy, found them to be loyal in their adherence to their British allies, and valorous on the field against their anta gonists. At the Cape Sir HARRY SMITH, to all appearance resolved upon a travesty of the foregoing policy, irritated the Kafirs upon every available opportunity, and having thus thoroughly infuriated them at heart against himself, and the cause of which he was the official representative, armed some of them in like manner, giving them horses and clothing, as well as accoutrements, and then pitting them against their friends, afforded them the occasion of which they, of course, availed themselves, of deserting in a body, going over to the enemies of English rule, horses, arms, clothing, accoutrements, and all ! With such glaring truths before them, the public cannot be any longer deceived in regard to the respective merits of men thus differently treated by the authorities of Government. We have seldom, if ever, complained of a jury for giving a prisoner on trial for any offence, more espe cially for one of an aggravated character, the benefit of any reasonable doubt. Justice should ever be tempered with mercy, and if there be any redeeming feature or mitigating circumstance in a case, it should be construed in the manner most favourable to the accused. We recognise to the fullest extent the humane maxim of the British law, that it is "better that ninety nine guilty persons should escape with impunity than that one innocent man should suffer unmerited punish ment." It is not our intention to depart from our usual custom on the present occasion, or to censure the jury, who took a most merciful view of the trans action in which THOMAS BARE, who was yesterday tried at the Central Criminal Court for the murder of his wife, Louise BARE, in North-street, Maryle bone, on the Bth November last, was implicated. The case was most fairly and dispassionately placed before the jury by the Learned Counsel for the prosecution, who manifested none of that unseemly zeal for a con viction, none of that anxiety to obtain a fo rensic triumph at the expense of the pri soner, which is unfortunately but too fre quently exhibited under the present "chance" system of prosecution. Mr. BODKIN discharged his arduous and painful duty well and efficiently. The attainment of truth was palpably his sole object. For that purpose he brought forward every circumstance that could assist the jury in arriving at a correct con clusion ; and he put forward no arguments that could prejudice or inflame the minds of the jury, or unduly influence the decision, on which the future fate of the unhappy criminal in the dock depended. We should gladly see the laudable example thus afforded by ➢lr. BODKIN universally followed by those members of the profession who may be entrusted with equally responsible duties There could be no possible doubt that it was by the prisoner's hand. that the deceased was deprived of life—that be had destroyed the woman whom he had in the most solemn manner vowed to love and cherish. The Learned Counsel for the defence did not venture to deny that incontrovertible fact. The only question for the consideration of the jury was the animus of the prisoner —whether ,he had wilfully, deliberately, and with malice aforethought, sought after the deceased with the object of inflicting the injuries which terminated in her melancholy death ; or whether he merely went for the purpose of re claiming his property, of which she had possession, and that the fatal conflict arose from the sudden excitement of the moment. The deadly weapon resorted to by the prisoner, which had very recently bee❑ purchased by him, and the point subsequently sharpened, as well as the nature of the wounds inflicted, strongly supported the more serious view of the case. What might be manslaughter under other circumstances, would unquestionably become wilful and deliberate murder if the party had made use of an instrument such as that produced on the trial, which had been in his possession - without any sufficient excuse. Now there was no suggestion that " a file" was required in the prisoner's trade, and even if such were the case, why should its point have been ground ? On the other side, it must not _be forgotten that the identification of the prisoner, who had recently purchased an instrument of a simi lar description was by no means satisfactory— neither of the witnesses on this portion of the case could speak with any degree of certainty. They both believed that he was the man, but would not speak positively. Such testimony could not, therefore, safely be received, more particularly when we recollect that the prisoner, immediately cn being taken into custody, while he admitted his guilt—Ex pressing a desire that "he was going to be hanged that moment," and declaring that "he should neither employ counsel nor judge, but should plead guilty—"also asserted that his wife had taken " a chisel, or something of that sort, to strike him with, and that he had dragged it from her and gave her the contents." When searched, too, he said, "it was too late then, but if he had known he would have provided himself with something, and then he should have saved the witness (Mr. Jacasoe) and everybody else trouble." The meaning of this could only have been that if he could have antici pated the fatal termination, he would have provided himself with the means of committing suicide, and this view of the case would go far to show the absence of premeditation, at least to the full extent of the crime• Several of the 'witnesses deposed to words spoken by the prisoner which indicated a revengeful feeling aoduttue o n his part, and it wns also shown that he was exceedingly jealous of his unfortunate victim, although ffi rte ci d en t,Ll3 C t w he it le h abueseo;nlybut, on the other hand, wanted the boxes, and the landlord of the house declared his opinion that, if permitted, the pri• oner would have broken open the door of the deceas4 it's room, taken the boxes, and gone away. _ . On the whole, then, although we might not our selves have conctured in the decision at w hich the jury ultimately arrived, we yet will not impeach the verdict which they, in the conscien tious discharge of their important duty, arrived at. The case was one , in s ome respects, approaching the Une of demarcation between murder and the most aggi avated descripeon of manslaughter. The jury took Ihe merciful vie w. The life of the wretched prisoner: will be sp are d , b ut it must be spent in a state .)f slavery, and in p er p e tual banish ment from his native land, a stat e w hi c h ma ny may consider even w or, le than death itself.

ITALY. OUTRAGE ON AN ENGLISHMAN AT FLO RENCE. Opinion, Opinio, of Turin, publishes a letter, dated Florence, Dec. 30, 1851, which states that on the pre vious morning a young Englishman: named MAYSIIER, who bad only been a short time in Florence, after standing to listen to the band of an Austria n regiment, was q uietly proceeding along one of the narrow streets which issue from the Piazza deli Duomo. He had not gone far when he per ceived a Lenocino advancing towards him with all the speed at which these country cars are usually driven. To avoid the danger, he jumped suddenly back, and in doing so came in contact with a young Austrian officer, who was at the same mo ment coming up at the head of his guard. A smart blow from the flat of a sabre on the back was the mild rebuke for this purely accidental collision. The Englishman, very naturally indignant, demanded in his imperfect Italian the meaning of the outrage. A. few angry words were in terchanged on either side, when another officer who accompanied the party stepped forward and cut the young Englishman down, laying his head open by a sabre wound of fully a finger's length. This done, the party proceeded on its way, and Mr. MAY SFAR,L, the temporary chargeuscany, who s ub se q uen tl y SUER, whose blood c overed a considerable space in the street, was convey ed to the City Hospital, where he was visited by Mr. ETT, d'affaires of E n gland in l addressed energet ic remons trances to the Govern 010gy. ment against the too frequent abu se o f b ruta l f orce on the part of the imperial tro o p s .

IRMONASTERB 3 QU ARTER LY MEBTIN 65.-BIRMING -111.31, THURSDAT.--TI, --e meeting s r of ironmas ters which were held at Wolverhamp ton yesterday and at Birming ham to day, were well atte n d e d by rP_sentatives or principals of the chief firms of the di.ttrictePbut it must be admitted that the tone of the iron market was . not so satisfactory as previous circumstances uppearect to justify. The first establishments in South Staffordshire a bi de strong ly by existing prices , an d do not in the slightest d egree fli nc h ; but one of the most wi n mainl ex tensive makers of th e di str i ct assure d us to -day that he cou l d not, except with diffic u lt y maintain them. Pi g iron is at a wretchedly low price, o some of the makers conten d yto over- production , and that the prices of this descrip tion of raw material (f or so i t rea lly is) ought to regu late t he rates of merchant a n d manu f ac tured iron. The e x ports continue good, and the demand for iron required by local railways is considerable. If the purchaser requires good quality he must pay the old prices; but there are needy and second-class makers selling at reduced quotations. The reports from the Continental Bourses state that there was much activity in public securities. Spanish had been extensively purchased at impro ved q uotations. From Paris some of the communications mention a pos i tive belief that Louis Napoleon will declare himself Emperor in the course of a very few days.— Times. Railways. Leasing Paid. Norniaal Prim.

CITY. TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 5,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken for export. The market closed heavily, with prices of American in favour of buyers. The sales com prised 5,000 American, 200 Pernrsm and Maranhsm at sid. tofid., 100 Bahia at 51d. to 5id.,150 Egyptian at 6d. to 7d., and 400 Surat at 2id. to 3id. per lb.—Railway Shares were quiet but steady. In the Colonial Markets business has been resumed after the holidays with less advanlago to the importers than was expected, but this is partly the result of heavy sup plies. The policy is wise to easo off stock at the begin ning of a new year, and probably a better tone will be established in a few days. Sugar, coffee, and spices have gone iu favour of buyers, although coffee early in the week was dearer. Cotton is dull, and tea rather in demand. To our farmers the subject of artificial manures must be one of great interest, and the following particulars, furnished by Mr. W. Candery, in the drysaltery trade, are very satisfactory:— " Artificial manures are rapidly increasing in demand, although the trade is beset by a parcel of itinerant vendors of spurious articles, offering their goods at low prices, which tempt the farmer, and the natural result is a failure in his crops, and a permanent injury to the legitimate trade. The great portion of the agricultural community of this country are rousing up, combining science with the natural order of things, such as grow ing crops by artificial means, economy in labour, bring ing land into cultivation by drainage and other means, which otherwise would be barren and waste, and where capital is judiciously applied to the production of crops, a very good return is the general result, even at the present low scale of prices. All agricultural produce has seen its lowest, and will, it is expected, as spring advances, rise in price. It is a great mistake for this country to import, as it does, so many thousand tons of guano, when manure, suitable to the different crops, is to be made in England at a very moderate cost. For instance, a combination of phosphate of lime, &c., with ammonia and silicate of potash, chemically combined, forms a wheat and grain manure. For green crops and pasture bones dissolved, combined with ammonia; and so on for each crop, those ingredients which are best suited for the separate cultivation. By this means a vast num ber of people would be employed, and would be a source of wealth to the country generally, by bringing into use the refuse of towns, which otherwise would remain de stroying the salubrity of the districts, by the heaps of seething and fermenting masses. The agricultural in terest of the country, suffering as it has by the various changes, evident to the march of civilisation, has now weathered the storm, and as all mercantile communities have their fluctuations, the agriculturists must expect their turn; there is now a decided change for the better, and, I hope, a permanent improvement. The foremost of all artificial manures sta nds s uper - phosphate of lime, that manufactured from bone being greatly preferred to that made from coprolite; this latter article contains the phosphate, but in such a silicated state that it renders it almost insoluble in acid, at all events by the common process of dissolving. This manure is rapidly increas ing in demand for turnips and all green crops, also as a dressing for old pasture; its fertilising powers is greatly developed in the turnip, as it forces the plant from the point of germination into the rough leaf in an almost incredible short space of time, putting it out of the reach of that destructive insect the fly. Peruvian guano has met with a very extensive sale this year, not withstanding the depressed state of all farming produce; the fact is, they must have this or other substitutes in the shape of artificial manures, the application of which being essential to produce a large increase in the crop to make up for low prices. The supply has been better regulated this year than previous seasons, still gradually increasing in demand, and maintaining that position it has always held among the articles under this head. Considering the low rates of freights from South America the price is two high, and the sooner this is made an open trade the better for the agriculturist; monopoly in the present advanced state of civilisation is bad in any article, especially in such an important one as this." Tho Mexican and West India mails have arrived, and briug a large amount, about 250,000/., in specie. This includes 80,000 dollars for the dividends. The intelli gence as to the weather in the different West India possessions is very satisfactory. In Jamaica a very important movement bad com menced in favour of responsible Government, but there were doubts whether it could be carried out. At a meeting held the following resolutions were passed:— " That the system at present pursued in the adminis tration of the public business of this island is based upon unsound principles, and is in practice found to work dis advantageously to the public interest, and that inas much as the institutions adopted by, and fitted to the requirements of a slave state are unsuited to the wants of a free people, it is desirable as far as possible to assi milate the constitution of the colony to that of the mother country. " That a system of responsible Government, based upon the model of the British Constitution, offers the best security to the people as well fur the due preservation of their rights and liberties as for a salutary control over the Acts of their representa tives, and affolds to the Legislature without the sacrifice of any of their proper privileges, the best guarantee for consistent and wise legislation, founded on the individual responsibility of its m em b ers, and that to this and the Bill now before the Honourable House of Assembly, entitled, A Bill for the establish ment of a responsible Government in this Island,' is in every way well adapted to meet the requirements of the case." In reference to the rumour noticed under this head, as to the dissatisfaction among the cl er k s o f the London Joint. Stock Bank, the manager has denied that there is a " particle of truth" in it, and although the statement has been current in all banki ng circles- for some days past, and on that account required notice, it must be left to the parties most intere s t e d to d eterm i ne : what was the foundation of the report. The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have re ceived information that the Government proposed to raise a loan of 2,500,000 dollars, to be raised upon the security of duties upon several important articles of consumption. Of this amount 750,000 dollars would be applied to the payment of the January dividends. Mr. Faleonnet, however, had suggested another plan, viz. , that the bills given tip to December last for duties, &c., should be handed over to him, the amount being about 850,000 dollars, and if he ob tained these he would return to England by the next packet. The remittance is 76,000 dollars to Colonel Faoio, and 4,000 dollars to the committee on account of arrears. The English Stocks have been firmer this morning, with only a limited business doing, however. Consols have ranged from 97 to 97i, and are now 974 to 4. There is said to be a bett er c h ance of the Ministry being " patched up," for, after all, no one thinks that an arrangement carried out by Lord John Russell will deserve a better name.
