Before the dissolution of Parliament there must, inevitably, he brought under the consideration of the Legislature the necessity for an immediate revival, for a total re-organization, or (it may possibly be) for an absolute abandonment of the present system of carrying on the affairs of our empire in llindostan. Elsewhere, in our impression of this evening, will be found given, verbatim et seriatim, the nineteen suggestions about rto be submitted to the notice of the House of Peers, by the most distinguished Governor-General of India now living—the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH. The experience which that Noble Lord has had of the working of the existing scheme of government in those three presidencies, qualifies him in a peculiar manner to pronounce an opinion as to the advisability either of its continuance or of its rejection. Removed as Lord ELLENBOROUGH was from the head of the Board of Control, on the 23d of October, 1841 to the supreme command in our Oriental possessions ' arriving, as he did in I ndia, on the 28th of February, 1842, an d recalled, as he was, towards the clo se o f AprillB44 after having employed the sword of Sir co,,LE s NAPIER for the conquest of the Ameers in Si m l a' the sword of Sir HUGH Gouts in the subjugation of the Mahrattas in Gwalior, achieving inone'lnarter the victory of Means, and in another the success the Earl of ELLENP.OROIICIa had ample of Maharajpoor— estimate at its true value the opportunity to j t taC o h f inery of our Oriental administration. In spea ki opera tion, therefore, he is not _peaking at random its darkness. He is rather addressing random or i n subject which has fallen under his to a p a rticular knowledge. He ii commenting, own more over, upon a question involving ng, memure the destinies of the British a great conseq uently peculiarly entitled to the most t re s — eue serious scrutiny, end to the most deliberate reflection of the Imperial Legislature. Upon the settlement of the existing difficulty is dependent a commerce more considerable in magnitude than the mercantile la bours of all the trading nations of the middle ages or of antiquity united together—larger than the com bined commerce of Holland, of Venice, and of Carthage. Besides which the matter on the eve of being de bated in the Lord 3 and Commons affects in an ex traordinary manner the futurity of a portion of the human family numbering scarcely less than 150 ; 000,000 ! The subject is, therefore, manifestly one of vital importance to all those who are really interested in the maintenance of our national wealth and of our national authority, and—what is of more consideration than the integrity of an empire— the steady and progressive advancement of civiliza tion. It must, in consequence of all this be presumed that the advice tendered by the Earl of ELLEN NOILOUGH to his fellow-countrymen, in the present instance, le not advanced by him otherwise than with a profound sense of his responsibility in offering it. T o imagine otherwise were to regard him as capable of turpitude such as, happily, has never yet been re corded of an English statesman. We believe the Noble Lord to be actuated by loftier motives than the gratificati on of a feeling of v engeance. We feel assured that he is not less aware than the rest of the world that the ingratitude dis played towards him by the Court of Directors has already been The simple but avenged in hiit -, ry• splendid narrative of his administration will consti tute henceforth sufi • e vidence for po s t erit y , as well as fo r hi s con _ sufficient selves, in his instance, that in a vailin g them by their charter, e) of the powers accorde d to thorn th e street were Solely o,t rs Directo in LTadenhall also irreparably) d amn it must be avowed tion. It is not, bogwnegve their own repute from any remembrance of his ri t Govreeatment by the no we feel satisfied, minal heads of the Indian rathern reference to ELLENSONOUGII has already spoke n in that Lord anomalous t the re-organiz xt ion of the system hitherto carried out in regard ministration of Hindustan. To noblero theiad than those here referred to,ihis remarkable /u r ea motion, embodying no less than nineteen sep arate resolutions, is attributable. Foremost among the se resolutions is, of course, the one proclaiming the ex pediency of closing from and after the 30th of April, 1864, the connexion between the East India Company and the Government—followed by others suggesting ' the immediate transmission of funds to meet the dividends on East India Stock, and the interest on East India Bonds, payable on the usual days at the Bank of England, and the transference of the powers at present vested in the Commissioners for the affairs of India to a President of the Indian Council, ap pointed by the Crown, and to the members of an In dian Council, numbering altogether twelve instead of twenty-four, as hitherto, and subject on their election to approval by the same supieme authority. Such are the more important among the nineteen resolu tions speedily to be submitted to the House of Lords by the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH. The Legislature will have before many days have elapsed to decide upon their value—remembering that the expiration of the powers as hitherto consti tuted, presents to the nation an opportunity inestima ble of its kind, and such as must not be lightly foregone. In re-organizing the system of our Indian Government it will be necessary to do this thoroughly, or to take no step whatever in the way of alteration. Under the sense of their rapidly approaching responsibility our statesmen should remember those who, under similar circum stances of importance, have actually taken the word " thorough " as their motto—nil actum credens cum quid superesset agendum. For in all human likelihood the ulterior fortunes of the British empire will be affected in an extraordinary manner by whatever course may be pursued in re ference to the future conduct of our Indian Go vernment. It is absolutely essential, under existing circum stances, that a clear, distinct, and unequivocal under standing should be arrived at between the several constituencies and the candidates for their favour at the approaching general election. Never was there a period when greater care and discrimination were required in the exercise of the elective franchise—the most important trust that can be confided to any member of a free community—a national privilege conceded not for his individual advantage, but for the benefit of the community. It is impossible to over- estimate the magnitude of the interests involved in the result. lt is not merely the principles of free trade that are at issue, or whether the commercial policy happily commenced in 1846, and which has already prOuced such extraordinary and unparalleled pros perity throughout the entire country, bringing com fort and contentment to the cottages of the labouring population, is to be persevered in or reversed. It is not merely the question of the large or small loaf, of untaxed food, or unrestricted commerce, that is to be decided on. Deeply, vitally important as these subjects most unquestionably are, there is something still greater at stake. The peace and tranquillity of the nation would be seriously endan gered should a Protectionist majority be returned to thq ensmin,f; Parliament. We emphatically repeat, what we have already stated, our solemn and deliberate conviction, that "the Corn•lazvs could not be tampered with without bloodshed, or re enacted without revolu tion." GOD forbid that so fearful a calamity should occur—that internecine conflicts should again pol- ,ute our soil, or that we should once more behold " Civil dissension, with its vip'rons tooth, That gnaws the bowels of the Commonweal. 7 Bat all these matters, and more, are now in the hands of the various constituencies, and depend on the fidelity with which they shall execute the trust confided to their charge. It is, therefore, necessary that electors should be more than usually cautious and candidates more than usually explicit, that the former should demand and the latter should concede full explanations on every point connected with the commercial legislation of the country. Although the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Norwich might safely appeal to his diligent attendance, his consistent liberality, and his faithful and efficient discharge of every Paliamentary duty since he was placed in the proud position of one of the representatives of the metropolis of the Eastern counties, as affording the best guarantee for his future conduct, he has yet afforded an excellent example to other aspirants for senatorial honours by the publica tion of the admirable address to which we gave inser tion in our impression of yesterday. In that well considered document, while touching lightly on his past career, so well and so honourably known to his constituents, and indeed to every Reformer through out the length and breadth of the land—dwelling for a moment only with pardonable compla cency on the well-ascertained fact that his v3tes were ever in accordance with the principles on which he sought the suffrages of the electors of Norwich in 1842, and that on no single occasion since that time has he been absent from his post when any important question of practical reform was under discussion—he places his sentiments on the leading topics of the day fu'ly before those from whom he is seeking a renewal of confidence. There is no dis guise, concealment, or equivocation, all is plain and above board, so that he " who runs may read," and that every voter may thoroughly understand the nature of the principles on which he is to decide—the verdict he is called on to pronounce. " The first, the paramount topic," as the Hon Gentleman justly remarks, is, " shall this country in its commercial legislation be progressive or retro grade ?'' All other points sink into comparative in significance to that on which, as we have already shown, the peace and tranquillity of the nation mainly depends. As the best answer to this interrogatory Mr. FETO ably sums up the results of the six years we have been living under a free-trade regime. The Hon. Gentleman says:— " Geork;o the Second's reign is usually referrer; to as e n auspicious era in British annals, and was one of long peace and plenteousness. But le, - )re no comparison to the present, et least as regards the material interests of the population. Whatever be thought of other sections of the State, it is admitted on all hands that never before did industrial labour produce so great a command of substantial com cent., forts. Pricee. have fallen, on the average, 20 to 40 per stances they have greatly advanced, owing to the in while wages have scarcely declined; in many in creased employment which abundance of food never fails to occasion. If it were not that this abundance could ueproved by unquestionabl e data, its vastness would be quite beyond belief. Exclusive of almost countless supplies of consumable articles of nearly every de scription under the modern tariff, our imports of c orn , flour, weal have tenaveraged upwards of sures a perquarters annum.. This it is that as that is really mak ing them bold P theiensantry: This it is ' At the same time almost any ]gybe country's priue. s h ow i ng a co.. ee boro ug h ma - y be selected at random, as population.

But it is not solely on the condition of the working classes that the question depends—although, when the base of the social pyramid is well founded, the superstructure will be firm and durable. Mr. PET° shows, from authentic returns, that the next grade—the capitalist class—are enjoying similar ro - perith P according to their respective positions. 'cli; " said he, "our imports of grain have been large, our exports of manufactures have been larger still, exceeding all anticipation.

Con- THE SUN, LONDON, sidering the innumerable branches of industry affected by such works, it will be admitted that such internal prosperity must have resulted from the fact that, whereas in 1845, only 2,024 miles of railroad had been opened. costing 71,649,0001., in 1851, there had been opened dose on 7,000 miles, involving an expenditure of 236,841,4201. Now, whence, I would ask, came this extra investment of 165,000,0001. in the six years, or twenty six millions the average per annum? Whence but from the unexampled prosperity of trade. Nor is it in this channel only that capital has been fruitfully flowing. The creation has gone on apace of mills, factories, docks, wharfs, and warehouses; not a little has also gone on in ship building; there was no neglect of Lord Derby's ad vice as to draining; and yet capital has continued to abound at 21 per cent. in all monetary avenues ; while nearly twenty millions of gold are lying in the vaults of the Bank of England. Again : at the commencement of free trade in shipping, in 1848, the amount of our mercantile tonnage was 4,050,190 tons, employing 236,906 men; in three years, at the close of 1851, the tonnage exceeded 4,300,000 tons, and the men 240,000." He also proves that there has been a diminution of crime and intemperance, and a saving in the latter half of 1851, when compared with that of 1850, of no leas than 11 per cent. in pauper maintenance, a "most material direct relief," as Mr. PETO justly remarks, " to the landed interest, who, it is to be re membered, have likewise shared in the general benefit of reduced cost of living, and in the indescribable advantage resulting from a state of society where the masses, being employed, well paid, and well fed, are necessarily contented, and attached to the institutions which secure them against the encroachments of others." It is unnecessary to follow up the arguments ol the Hon. Gentleman on this subject, which must convince any unprejudiced auditor of the inestimable advantages of untaxed food, of the right of every man " to eat the bread for which he has laboured," with out paying heavy tribute to any man or body of men. He, however, declares that whilst strenuously advocating the continuance of free trade, he is fully prepared to remove any burden that is borne unfairly by the land. " The whole subject," he declares, " of the taxation to which the land is liable, is a fair matter of inquiry before the Legislature and if there are burdens by taxation on land to promote national objects, let them no longer be borne by the land exclusively." This is fair and proper. It is acting up to the Christian principle of " doing as we would be done by." While insisting on full justice for ourselves, let us b 3 pre pared to do justice to all without exception, to show that we seek for nothing which we are not equally prepared to render to all in due season. On the great question of Parliamentary reform Mr. Pee° is equally satisfactory. He holds out a hope of something better than the mockery of reform which led to the change of the Alinistry. While condemning the members of the present Ca binet, and asserting the impossibility of their continuance in office, he still expresses his belief that - they will unintentionally be the occasion of much abiding national good," and that " already there have been evolved the ele ments not only of a still more liberalised Government than the last, but there has been a mutual recognition among all sections of Parliamentary Liberals of the basis of a measure that shall go a long way towards remedying abuses that have been the scandal of our electoral system." He adds, " This co-operation alone is wanting. Without it pclitical improvement throughout the kingdom will again be arrested fur an indefinite time. Not only will there be no re-adjustment of the fran chise, but there will be no security for the just enjoy ment of what is already possessed; and it is for you, and for all large constituencies, to say, whether you will permit any Government to stand between you and the reforms you desire ? Of those reforms an extension of the suffrage is one of the most pressing. It must also be apportioned on a principle that shall give numbers and intelligence their just weight." We heartily commend this admirable declaration of political faith to the calm and attentive perusal, not only of the electors of Norwich, to whom it is more immediately directed, but also of every constituency in the country. It will teach them a valuable lesson as to what they may fairly demand and have a right to expect from their representatives. It cannot be anticipated that many such men can be found as SAMUEL MORTON PETo has proved himself to be ; but let those who have the power endeavour to find worthy coadjutors, who will co-operate with him in sustaining the line of policy and promoting the views which he has so ably and distinctly enunciated. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The _Mats contains an article by M. EMILE CHE VALIER, in reply to one in the Constitutionnel, in support of the protective system. The Constitu• tionnel is rather protectionist, and declares that any imitation of the free trade policy of England would be fatal to the interests of France. The, Detats, on the contrary, is of opinion that the protective or rather prohibitive system might be relaxed with the greatest safety for French manufacturers, and the greatest advantage to the public, who would no longer be the victims of a monopoly which checks competi tion and paralyses enterprise. It concludes by saying " The question is no longer to know if pro tection is good. That system has had its day ; it cannot now retain the mastery any longer, it can only capitulate on as good terms a- it can find. We are of opinion that most honourable terms be granted it, and that time be accorded for the transition. But from the present time, all ought to understand that free trade is the point advanced to. And in speaking thus, we are certain that we give the Government a counsel salutary for itself as well as advantageous for the country." We find the following in the Presse, with the sig nature of M. DE GIEARDIN _ _ " In his speech on the occasion of the reception of the oath of the judges, the President of the Republic raised universal suffrage to the height of a principle; ho de clared that it was the national will itself, and that the sovereignty of the people was a dogma. From this de claration I draw the conclusion that the Presi• dent of the Republic, if he reads the news papers, and if he reads these lines, will immediately give orders for the release of the only one of the elect of universal suffrage, who was arrested on 2d December, 1851, and who is still in custody, the 7th April, 1852. To detain any longer M. Idiot . , elected representative of the people fcr the department of Nievre, would bo not only to attack and strike universal suffrage in his person, but would cause a man to pass before a principle." The Minister of Finance has, says the Moniteur, received from all the departments, except Corsica, the amounts of the demands for the reimbursements of the Three per Cents. The total of these demands amounts to 1,936,783 f. of rente, representing a capital of 38,735,660 f. The Union says,—" The list of senators who are to receive pension has, it is said, been just made out. The number amounts to 38. The dotations, it is said, vary from 10,000 f. to 30,000 f." There is a long article by M. GRANIEU DE CASSAG NAC in the Constitutionnel of Thursday, on the collective lettersof General CAVAIGNAC, M. CAUNOT, and M. HENON, declaring their refusal to take the oath prescribed by the Constitution. M. GBANIER DE CASSAGNAC criticises the letter paragraph by para graph. Ile concludes thus : " It is not for General Cavaignac to speak of public liberties, on the ruin of which his power had been ele vated; and when the rigours of arbitrary rule are spoken of in collective letter, that this is certainly strange in the mouth of a man, who, in the name of a dictatorship of his own making, which never received any national sanction, transported 14,000 men without judgment, s t e h v e e n h e d e a l ys.

The first class frigate, the Forte, is to sail shortly for Guyana, with a new body of men condemned to transportation. The prisoners are to be established in various points, and particularly at Salutation Islands, opposite the mouth of the Kouron, about 15 miles from the roadstead of Cayenne. These islands, three in number, are well-wooded, well-watered, and fertile. An establishment is to be formed also at the Isle Maraca, which is exceedingly fertile ; and, lastly, a colony r the Oyapock, a fine i itself into the Atlantic. M. TURGOT, Minister o f Foreign Affairs, has (says river, emptying is to be formed along the Corsaire) waited on the Pores Nuncio, and ex pressed his regret at the conflict which has arisen re specting the Prince DE CANINO. He added, that he had sent off an attache of his Cabinet with a peremp tory order to M. DE CANINO to return to Paris. M. LECLEEQ, a tradesman of Mons, who died lately, left a great number of original documents connected with the trial of Counts D'EGMONT and DE HORN, for having taken part in the insurrection of the Netherlands against the Spaniards, and who, it will be remerpbered, were beheaded by order of the Duke of ALBA. By his will, M. LECLERQ ordered that these papers should be burned, but the authorities of Mons prevented this. It is not known how the do cuments, which are of great historical importance, came into his possession. They formerly belonged to the archives of Belgium, and it is probable will be restored to them. It is said that the Government is about to cause surveys of a railway from Marseilles to Nice to be made; and that the Sardinian Government on its part intends to have one surveyed from Nice to Genoa.

Agua Fria seem unduly de pressed, and the cause no doubt is merely excess o " bulling." 091 June. 66 p 69 p CLOsi ?RICEB. 20% 20 14 1 ,E r m . 38 1 A 5 / 6 . 88% 803' 8 89 3 / 8 77 3A 71% ~ i, 72 17 Ys 14 99 3 A 100% 100 123 3 4 124 Z7'/ 89 Vs Ys 65 3' s 'M I sA 34 34 8% 3i '4 18y, 15'ii 213 A 33y • 2 3 / 4 3 2.5474% ; 12%,j 5 173/4 184 24% 23,i] 8,4 P l * 3 A PM ,14 1 A 14% % z.d 103/s 6 x.d :22% 9% % 16 3 / 8 9 % % 8 -8% ly B - 3 - 11 - 10% - IV% - 5 / 8 - 11% Ys p 136 - 138 % - 18%- QUARTER TO THREE, ... 99k ... 991 Consols ...

(Before Mr. Justice TALFOURD.) FORGERY.—Charles Clifford, aged 45, described as a labourer, was indicted for leloniously uttering a forged receipt for the sum of 601., with intent to defraud George flo'gate Foster, and others. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Clarkson conducted the prosecution, and the prisoner defended himself. -It ' apn , ared from the evidence that th e pr i soner, up to J lB o s in O t , s - had n toc la k e ß en an in k, th b e u h t a a b t it toti:e commencementthebaringwithof t London year the balance standing i n hi s f avour was only ss. sd. Nevertheless a che quo which he sent in for 12/ was duly honoured, and he afterwards sent in another which was stopped. The prisoner then sent in his pass-book to be examined with his account, and it was discovered by the bark authorities that an entry of 60/. appeared in the: pass-book, but there was no corresponding entry in the; ledger of the bank, which circumstance led to the ap— prehension of the prisoner on the present charge, as the entry of the COL was not in the handwriting of any clerk attached to th e b ank. The prisoner. had no settled to or occupatio n , b a t had some indirect connexion with th e St oc k of Exchange generally gave hi s a dd ress es at the Hall month his Commerce and , or Garraway's Coffee-h ouse; b ut last wife called at the bank with a cheque, and she was asked where she got it from. She at once de— clared that her husband gave it her, and she was then asked whl , re he lived, but she refused to say, and she, was detained while an officer went in search of him.. He was found waiting io the neighbourhood, and he was immediately told that his pass-book, which had been sent in a few days previously, contained a forged entry for 601., which purportzd to have been paid into the bank towards the close of 1850, since which time the prisoner's account had been balanced. He denied that it was a forgery, but his denial was not satisfactory; and he was, therefore, given into the custody of the police. The trial was proceeding when our re sort left. ____________ Tii/RD COU4 7'. (Before the RECORDER.)

John Sheppard was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyr whits, charged on au6piciou with stealing a valuable silver watch. L appeared, f rom ths. evidence of the prosecutor, that on the night of the sth iugtant, about 11 o'clock, ho was proceeding along the Islington-read, and when he arrived near the turnpike. gate, two prostitutes came up to him and wanted him to accompany them. This ho refused, and one of them pushed him against two men, one of whom was the prisoner, when he was knocked down with great Force to the ground and rendered in sensible, and it was some, considerable time before he recovered. When he came to all the parties had gone, taking with th em his money and his watch. From the in formation he b a d given to the police, both women were appr e h en d ed and remanded ; but the pri soner and hi s companion had kept out of the way until yesterday, wh en he was appre h en d e d .
