ENING' EDITION. THE ISLAND OF HONG-KONG. Dr. Clarke Abel, in his Narrative of . a Journey to China, gives the following a ccount of this island :—Sail • with the Amhe rst Embassy in this island squadron, : o r n g the evening of the 12,th of June, weighed, and stood for Hong -Kong, which is one of the Ladrone Islands, cistant from the great Lemma 16 miles in a N.E. direction. Looking, from the deck of the Alceste early on the fol l ow i n g morning, I found that we were in a scund f or med by so:ne small islands, by which it was land locked in every direction, and of which :Hong-kong is the principa'. As rcen from the ship this island was c hiefly remarkable for its high conical mountains, rising in the centre, and for a Leautiful cascade, which rolled over a floe blue rock into the sea. I took advantage of the first watering-boat to visit the shore, and made one of these mountains and the waterfad the principal ob jects of my visit. This mountain, the highest on the island, is, ac cording to Captain Ross, who has measured it, about fifteen hundred feet above the level of the sea, and is composed of trap, approaching to basalt in the compactness of its structure. In ascends ing, it, I followed the course of a delightful stream, which rises bear its summit, and found by its side a number of interesting plants. The general surface of she mountain, and iedaed every part of the island of Hong-kong that I was able to visit, is re markably barren, although in the distance it eppears fertile. I was unable to reach the summit of the mountain, in c onsequence of the excessive heat, which, at eight o'clock in the morning, raised the thermo • meter in the shade to 83 degrees, whilst the sun's 1 ays, to which I necessarily capered myself, darted through an unclouded atmosphere with an almost intolerable efface, - and raised the quicksilver to 120 degrees. I ascended about 1,000 feet, and returned by a path which passed over a small hill, or rather mound, diffsring in structure from all the rocks in its neighbourhood, being com posed of a very friable stone of reddish white colour much resembling disintegrated felspar. Its scenery is composed of barren rocks, deep ravines, and mountain torrent?, but presents few characters of a very picturesque description. Of its inhabitants, none were seen but some poor and weather-beaten fishermen, spreading their nets, and drying the produce cf their toils on the rocks which supported their miser able mud huts. Its cultivation corresponded with the apparent state and number of its population. Patches of rice, small plantations of yarns, and a little buck wheat, were all their visible means of vegetable support. The typhoons, which sweep over the island at this season, are sometimes tremendous. The height of the barometer varied very little during our stay at Hong-Kong, but the thermometer and hygrometer underwent frequent changes. The most ancient Spanish geographers speak meanly of Hong-kong, in common with the other islands of the cluster. It produces, however, they allow, fruits, salad, and a variety of wholesome herbs, in fair quantity ; but that it has no beasts, and of birds only one kind. The inhabitants were few and miserable ; but they ale! peered, it their original stock may be guessed at, to be of the same stock as the Philippines. (By the Author of " Thc Chinese as they Are." The Wall of Hong-kong is about ten miles in length, and nearly that distance in its greatest breadth. It is of an irregular shape, and withdraws into two or three half sheltered harbours on the southern side. But that which is, by way of emphasis, the Harbour of Kong, is formed by this island as it stretches in length from cast to west, and the main land of China. This is a magnificent harbour in extent and diversity of out line, securely sheltered by lofty hills, and well deserves that distinction which has been given to it. The ships usually anchor in about ten fathoms water, but there is a deep bight in the mainland, receding about two miles and a half towards the north, which is about a mile and a half, or somewhat more, in breadth, where the depth of water varies from three to five fathoms. As this inner harbour, as we may call it for the sake of clearness and perspicuity, is completely landlocked, it resembles a beautiful lake, surrounded by many a ridgy height and some towering peaks of steep and rugged as cent. At the top of this inner harbour stands the vil lage of Ceroloon, which recently gained some celebrity by a skirmish between Captain Elliot and the Chinese cruisers, but which 'was been long known to naval men by the great civility and kindness of its inhabitants to wards the foreigner. From the harbour of Hong-kong there is a passage to the eastward about half a mile in breadth, where in some places there is twenty-five fathoms water; but as this course is rather intricate, and requires a variety of winds to make it an easy one, ships proceeding to the north prefer a sweep round the island of Hong-kong, and drcpping down the Lama channel to steer southward and eastward till they emerge into the China sea. The harbour of Hong-kong is famed among foreign residents in China for its extreme healthiness ; and many a sojourner at Macao, after trying what medicine and exercise could do for hint there, has at length repaired to Hong-kong • and found what he had so long sought for in vain. 'rho writer of these remarks, while at the place last men tioned in the spring of 1838, made full proof of physic, diet, rest, and light excursions, but discovered that he was growing weaker, instead of improving, under this treatment. Just at the time when trope began to give place to despair, au American Captain invited him to take a trip to Hong-kong ; the invitation was ac cepted, and after a lapse of a fortnight he was so in vigorated by the breeze s of that delectable place, that he went to Canton and worked through a summer of unusual sultriness. Thus much may be said in re ference to the healthiness of this piece of newly-acquired territory. - The island of Hong-kong may be described as a huge pile of ragged hills, which here and there start up into precipitous peaks. It is barren and intractable in its aspect, especially when compared with those rich scenes which meet the eye in the Straits of Sunda. But this barrenness is relative, for the slopes are covered with a hardy kind of grass, except in spots where the soil has been sifted by an avalanche or the rock broken into an escarpment by volcanic action. The naked and unpro ductive character of the hills in the southern parts of China the writer had been led to ascribe to the meagre and hungry nature of the soil, as the rock from which it is produced is a hard sort of granite, yielding but little clay ss a material for the sub-soil ; when, however, he visited Hong-kong, and found it mainly composed of trap, in which clay is abundant, he began to noel it necessary to modify the opinion which he had formerly entertained. The barren aspect assumed by the projecting points amt angles of Hong-kong, or rather tae want of trees to clothe and decorate them, must be arcribed to the north-cast wind, which blows with such aks e.i and tat rig edge, that few trees, save the Pinus Linens's, which reserno,es our Scotch fir, can en dure it. This pine, though very abundant upon many parts of Hcang Shaw, the island cf which the peed , sula of Macao farms a hart, is not p'entiful in 1 pasts of Ilosig-Iton, and semis to shun the ghee: ng aides of that island. If, however, those parts which first offer thernwlvea to the ken of the sea tiring m an f rom a f ar, ale un i nv i t i ng b ecause t h e w i n d ,s adverse to vegetation, we ought to look for something better in quarters defended fromhs disappointed, influence ; and g in this expectation we shal not hi l hills. for lf the we valleys exhibit a beautiful contrast ' tot h he . e southern . side land, for e.iample, at the cascade on up abo t u of the island, alter climbing crust ou end ledges of trap, covered with a curious -whsiTetyfeetover spit :eto a diversity of configuration s , w e fi n d in a leturiant and romantic vale, sometimes wallet; in with steep sides, at others expanding into little i e d (l ' in for the cultivation of rice and regets'eles.

Few Europeans would prefer a residence in this valley, but It • "'lid f'acrlA a most delightful place for an excursion.

In a withdrawing nook - , inwl'at we may call, iii the landsman's phrase, the further corner of the harbour of Hong-kong, there i 3 a small delta and a very charming valley, in which the former terminates. On this delta, fairly " cmbosomed in tufted trees," :.tends a small village, inhabited by persons who arc not wealthy, but tot so poor but that sonic had delicacies which had been brought from Macao, and to which they bade the writer a most hearty welcome. Several of them could read, and a man, to whom a copy of the New Testament Ives given, seemed to be a person of intelligence, though Lis daily cares were parted between his fishery and his equilateral triangl e , farm. This shelter is randy an each side being about one-fourth of a mile in length. It terminates in a very pleasant del, where shrubs and plants grow in great profwaion. After passing about a mile along this dell we find ourselves in a bread valley 'leaked rvitiby hills, adorn whose sombre aad g listenin g gip ' s a te water fall; in refreshing streams.

It may be remarked, Once for all, that a considerable portion of the island is of tie trap formation, which abounds with escarpments wherever it is met with ; hence the common occurrence of waterfall;. Granite occurs with it in Hong-ko• g, and there is an enorrncus block in the delta wi:it - sh rests upon several other lesser blocks, as if art, net ❑ature, had been concerned in giviag it a station. The highest part of the island has two or three lofty peaks, hi•:h is another feature very closely connected .with the trap formation. 11,:tween the anchorage and the delta there is a wide and tclera'dy eve❑ slope, which is laid out in cultivated fields and gardens. It ascends for a good distance to wards the medial ridge of the island, but at length ends in a curious glen, on the borders of which huge boulders lie strewed in the wildest confusion, while all the inter- i spaces are filled up with vegetation in a high state of luxuriat ce. On this slope foreigners might find build ing plots after having pensioned off the present tenants of the toll, who would be glad to exchange their scanty mode of living for one of greater amplitude. In the arrangement lately made with the Chinese,the harbour of Hong-kon t g is expreisly mentioned as a part of the indemnity for the wrongs which that people have inflicted upon es. Whether that part of the Chinese territory which intervenes between a range of hills and the margin of the lend forming the northern - side of the harbour be comprehended in the minds of those who formed this treaty, it would not be easy to con jeeturc. A practical cession, however, of that portion of ti,e mainland will be the result of a sett:ement, whether Captain Elliot and his friend Kcshen thought of it or not. This region is very desirable as a locality, since it is composed of plains, hills, glens, and valleys, interchanging in a most agreeable variety. In this place are stones and excellent granite for building and paving, which, as labour is cheap in China, may be bad on easy forms. To this place Chinese merchants, who traverse their own empire in quest of speculations, would flock from all quarters, and thus, in a little time, give rise to an emporium, which, for great commercial transactions, might rival even Ningpo or Han-chow. The Tartar authorities would find fault with this, but that would be a matter of no consequence, as it is our business to command, theirs to obey. The policy of the Tartars, so successful sometimes in little things, but so mise rably deficient in matters of any magnitude, will soon give us not pretexts, but cogent reasons for advancing upon the Chinese territory, and of taking care that Lin, Keshen, and the rest of the hypocritical brood of di plomatists, shall not for the time to come starve, poison, kidnap and cajole British subjects for their own pastime and amusement. Whether Flung-kong be worth our acceptance, as an equivalent for the injuries sustained by our commerce, time, that unfolds error, will prove. There is no rea son why we should be very anxious about it ; if a man of spirit and sagacity be appointed to govern the new settlement, he will find ample means and most season able opportunities for consulting the mercantile interests as well as the honour of this country. If the island is not large enough, he will find plenty of room upon the main ; if Chinese customhouse officers come to levy inconvenient duties, or to impede the current of busi ness, he can dismiss them at the shortest notice ; and if Government cruisers prowl about and harrass the poor native in his progress to the settlement, they may be sent to the bottom of the sea with the least possible amount of labour on our part. And labtly, should not this he found an eligible situation after all, we can adopt another ; who will say us nay ? ST. ÜBE'S. Some details respecting the commerce of St. Übe's have been furnished by a resident Correspondent, which will be interesting to commercial readers, and indeed to the public generally, but little cognisant of the grow ing importance of the place. The port or bay of St. Übe's is very large and se cure ; 200 or 300 vessels may ride safe at once in it. The entrance is of such easy access, that several ves sels come in without pilots, even in bad weather and the night time. There is a bar at the entrance, but vessels drawing upwards of twenty feet may get over it in sa'cty. The trade is principally in the export of excellent salt, which latterly has been so extensive that of last year's crop there hardly remain 25,000 to 30,000 moys or from 80 to 100 cargoes ; the salt-board has therefore determined to reserve one half thereof for the native shipping, and to allot the remainder to foreign vessels. This quant:ty will perhaps not last for more than one month, should vessels drop in in such numbers, for last week there arrived se7>enteen, mostly very large ships. Some even came from Cadiz, where it seems the article is both scarce and dear ; here, however, they have not altered the price of 1 500 per moys of 15 cwt., at which it was paid several years age, by mutual agreement, between all parties, and under the authority and sanction of the Govern: went. _ _ . Former:y the arrivals seldom exceeded 200 foreign vessels, but since Government have t ilten off the ex port duties, and tho tonnage due of vessels, their num ber has more than doubled. The average produce of the salt pans is about 200,000 moys, (or 150,000 tons), and last year, al though the season was not quite favourable, thia quan tity was secured, but in addition to the great exporta tion, there was a large quantity destroyed by the great floods of last month. The native shipping export about 25,000 or 30,000 moys, of which about 5,000 or 6,000 moys are taken to Ireland, and the remainder to Oporto, and the other northern ports of this kingdom. The gardens about this neighbourhood produce over 15,000 cheats of oranges, of which from 4,000 to 6,000 are shipped off to England and Ireland, as much more to France, Bel gium and Holland, and the remainder are consumed here, or sent overland to Lisbon. Among the exports of 1839 there are 123 pipes of oil, but none has been shipped last year, because the price was nearly doutled, owing to bad crops. In 1839 there were also exported two cargoes of wheat to England ; a thing that has not occurred perhaps in tour hundred years. Almost all the corn and other articles, the produce of the fertile province of Alem tijo, is shipped at Alcacer do Sol, a town nearly 30 miles up our river, and is taken direct to Lisbon in coasting vesAAs cf about GO tons burthen, which return, with supplies of goods and other foreign produce for the province of Alemtijo. An article, the exportation of which bas ranch in creased, is corkwood ; two English houses, lately este Wished here, have introduced this trade, and have even scot into Spain for supplies of prime quality. Formerly all the corkwood produced in this province was sent round to Farr in coasting vessan to be shipped there for England. Another English cal blishm2nt has been opened et Sinis, 40 miles to the southward of this, and exports from eight to ten cargoes of corkwood and fruit every year to a:gland. c grow a greA deal of wine, but expoit none at present, as this town and shipping consume al that is manufactured, not only here hut at P‘dniv Ila and Azeilao, neighbouring town!, and even ocersionaPy some is imported from Lisbon. Formerly they made a thlicious Muscatel wine, much celebrated throughout Earope, but the secret was lost, and what is still made is good for notYa7, having iitae or no flavour, and sown spoils. The quarantine regulations are very strictly observed, and any vessel that omits to bring a bail of health. con. wining the exact number of persons on board, is place 1 under quarantine fur five days ; it must be certified by the Portuzuese Consul, or by the Spanish if cleared for Cadiz, and calling here. The new salt is seldom fit to ship before the end of July, PORTABLE FORGE FOR SHOEING HORSES. —The!e was something in this shed, be:iles The bed of the pour "n e ho, so" as they !Iflt perticulorly attracted my cttention, and I was much pleased with its extremely ocat and compact nature.

'TILE SUN,' LONTY)N, FRIDAY, APRIL 16: 1-'4l. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURN ALS. FROM TOE DAILY PAPERS OF 1 ESTr.IiDAY. (From the Globe.) The Standard last night, in an article devoted to an ticipations and predictions as to the principal busi ness which will come before Parliament after the recess, leys special stress on " the motion of Sir Robert Inglis, for extending the means of religious worship in some approximation to the wants of the country." This sub ect, we are assured, is among those which, from their supreme importance, will " force themselves upon nub lie attention" at the re-assembling of Parliament. That the imperturbable Baronet will again bring forward his pet scheme of " Church Extension," we have little doubt—that when he does bring it for ward, it will share the fate which has invariably attended it, we are assured, not merely from the extravagance of the proposal, which is so utterly impractical , le us to render its being entertained by the House of Cern mons, with anything like gravity, out of the question— but also from the present policy of the cooler portion of the Tory pat ty, which has become increasingly eon scieus that its only hope of office rests upon assuming a tone and bearing of moderation, hoping thus to con ciliate the nation, by inducing the• betel that they arc vastly different from their predecessors—that they have eschewed the evils which rendered the Tories of fencer days odious to the people ; are ready to conform them selves to the spirit of the age ; and in all things dis play themselves advocates of improvement, liberality, and retrenchment. Such professions are odious to tice Standard, who deems tl'em an abandonment of principle for expediency ; and therefore denounces and pro scribes Sir Robert Peel for thus hiddiag high for popu larity. The inflexible Protestant organ has again and again virtually proclaimed the nominal leader of the Tories as unworthy to be the head, or even a member of a Prote:stant administration ; and has warmly exhorted the " Conservative democracy" to look out for leaders who will concede nothing to expediency ; the raid " Conservative democracy" being at the same time en couraged by the assurance that such leaders are ready to obey their call, to place themselves at their head, and to rescue the Protestant Establishment from the hands of the base trucklers, who have betrayed it into the hands of those who sought its destruction. (From the Standard.) We have hitherto maintained upon the subject of the .ate visitation at York that reserve which we feel to be due by the public press to all judicial proceed ings ; and as the party principally concerned has declared his purpose of carrying the case to some ulterior tribunal, the considerations which first en joined silence are still in full force. It is true that the court of primary jurisdiction has made its award, and that that award is entitled to all the respect due to the high character of the tribunal ; but wherever the law allows of an appeal, the primary sentence can be regarded as at beet only raising a pre sumption ; and this presumption will be of more or less weight according to the nature of the defence. Where a party accused acknowledges the jurisdic tion, and defends himself upon the merits, the pre sumption, upon a conviction, will be sexy strong against him, where, as in the case before us, the cha racter of the Court for probity and intelligence is above exception ; but where, on the other hand, a defendant, whether well or ill advised,- denies the authority of his judges, and withholds his defence upon merits, it is quite plain that the trial must be upon ex party evidence, and upon such evidence the most able and upright judge may come to an erroneous decision. We are not justifying the line taken by the Dean of York ; still less are we desirous to impeach the sentence pronounced against him. We• would be understood as merely arguing that unless that sentence shall be found to be legally afinal one, the case is nayet ripe for animadversion by the public journals; and that if, unfortunately for the sufferer by it, it shall be ascertained to be a sentence without appeal, the late Dean must be looked upon as one who may be the victim of a mistake as to his proper line of defence, and possibly a man wholly innocent of the charges by which, through this mistake, he has suffered himself to be overwhelmed without resistance. In short, we hold it our duty to regard the late Dean as at present no more than an accused man, and therefore entitled to the or dinary presumption in such cases, that how strong sohver the prima facie case against him, he may yet be able to rebut it. The mercantile accdunts from Ceylon, brought by the cvorland mail, refer with di3satisfaciien to a n-.ca sure that was about to be'enforced by the Custom House authorities—the weighing of coffee at the Custom House previous to shipment. It was saii to be unnecessary for these reasons :—the merchant in his business is obliged to take the exact weight of all his coffee, and there is every inducement for him to make a correct return to the Custom House ; for on the return ho places a valuation on which is paid the 2id. per cent. duty, and ho has likewise to obtain a certificate from the Custom House that his coffee is of Cey lon growth, in order to gain its admission for home consumption at the low duty, which it is contended is an effectual guarantee that the full weight is given, for if it was not, the surplus would be subjected in England to 28z. extra per cwt. Besides, the delay in the general progress of business which would result from such a measure is also much complained of, considering the short hours (about 4) to which it is already confined; and further, it is said there would be considerable r4k in shipping coffee under such circumsta.ices, from the ticissitudes of a euLer. The proposed alteration is alt-gether condemna, and if it is to be carried out, the merchants engaged in the trade scorn inclined to think that before it can meet with any succe>s extensive alterations must be made to suit the convenience of the shippers, to prevent damage from rain, or absorp tion in damp weather at the Custom,house, which is at e - ient hardly sufficient for the business transacted. The state of the currency in the Nizam's dotni nices according to the latest accounts from India, the most singular and deplorable that can be conceived. The Nizam's Government at Hyderabad tacitly authorizes no less than fourteen curroncizs • the country to the south of Hyderabad is full of Jagheedars and RajahF, who are nominally independent, each cf whom has his own mint in which he coins, fixing a value according to the state of necessities, and thus it becomes nearly impossible to settle what may be the value of P. certain rupee after a period of six months. The inconvenience is greatly increased by the petty sovereigns rigidly prohibiting their neighbour's coin from passing cur rent in their own territory, for the ryots are in conse quence, compelled to sail th&r 'produce in the territory to which they belong; or if they travel a few miles beyond the narrow limits of the domain, they not only are encum bered with the feent:er duty, but arc rlaie.st certain of get ting a low rate fey their rule-,. A correspondent who re. sides in a cantonment in the dominions, describes a market which is held four times a wed:, where all the ryots of the_strroundirg slistricts assemble, a;id only one kind of currency is allowed to pass, notwithstanding there are se veral mii.to for issuing copper coin, each of a dift.rent kind ; within six miles, all of which pay a tax to the Go vert.ment ler their privilege. Oa account of the prohibition the Ryots, after leaving t! e basal - , are ct - dic.l to go to these local m i nts and exchange the coin which is alone current at the market. The masters of the mints are ready enough to take aiventrge of this circumstance, and the poor ryots are said to lose nearly hoif the value of their coin by the exchange- The worst of the matter is, that the Nizani's Government profit largely by this vicious state of the currency, and are reso lutely opposed to all attempts at imprcvcrnent. They find it nose er their purpose to have a number of taxpaying mints, and these find the trade of exchanging coin too profitable to relinquish ; so that a system of extortion is thoroughly erg%.nized, by which the ryots alone are the Fuffert2rs,theugh they arc the only people iu the district who really work for their bread. ..... ~ LOUIS PIIILIPP - 2.—Every day brings for wprci some new anecdote honourable to the charrcter of Louis Peilippe. I will rreTion two which have jest come to my krowledge. Tley are, perhaps, trifling in them• selves, but in connection with his gerraral cha racter they speak volumes. A short ii ce ago Louis Philippe lost a common clasp ktire, which had been the constant companion of his exile in Switzerland, in America, and in England. The Polack, was in a kind of consternation at the loss, for the King had preserved it as a relic of days of poverty and tribulation, end it was with him a earned memento of those days in which he p7eferred poverty to dis}'onour, and the employment of tits tae . lc nts in honest induetry, to becoming the per siencr of Kings. Only figure to yourself this Soyelein of a gi ent 'lathe, surrounded with pomp and luxury, mourning ever the loss of a sixpenny knife, because . it Ter-aim - lea him of what he called his "glorious days."

POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE MORNING JOURNALS. The Mor•Ling Papers of this day coot lin no leading articles of any public interest. The Morning herald discusses the question of Medical Reform, and recom mends Mr. Hawes, its chid supporter in Parliament, to " wash his hands of such a thankless labour." The Times. speaking of a recent pamphlet on the New Poor-law, says that " it is well worthy of being generally cerused, as a specimen of the depth of view, honesty, and veracity cf sta.ement, which characterize the Poor-law Commissioners and .their satellites." The Morning Chronicle observes, in al article on the state of Pauperism in Scotland : " Glasgow is, ye.hips, at this time, the most flourishing city in dr , empire ; but the destitution of Glasgow is abso lutely frightful. The neglected poor of one part of the empire lawer the condition of the poor in other parts." MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The Consol account, which closed to-day, has in its progress embraced an important period namely, that of the alarm occasioned by the M'Leod affair, and the reaction that has followed it. It opened on the 291 of February, when the quotation (for the Account) was 89, and at the hostile appearance of affairs in the United Strtes, gradually declined to 87i. This was the lowest point whi . ch Consols touched, and they reached it about the losginning of March. Teey then began tor rise steadily, and a considerable impetus was given by the pacific turn of General Harrison's address, and the improved state of feeling exhibited in the American papers that followed the period of inauguration. The rise. has continued, aud the highest point—namely, 901—was touched to-day. This particular advance of to-day, must, however, be attributed rather to the state of the account than to any other cause, as the " bears" have preponderated. With respect to the events that have taken place during the progress of this ac count, the same remark may be made on the state of the public feeling as was made during the time when the af fairs of the j‘evant assumed the most hostile appearance. Speculators alone seemed to take advaatago of the poll tied aspect, and the public were never alarmed sufficiently to come into the market as sellers of stock to any extent. On the contrary, it is supposed that the supply of stock would barely base sufficed to meet the public demand for investment, had it not been for the large sales (300,0001. or 400,0001.) by the Bank broker. To-day large quan tities of stock were taken in by some of the leading ca pitalists and banking firms. Consols for money opened very firm, and advanced from 94 to 901, but subsequently the price was not supported. Money was excessively easy, and, at the close cf the day, commanded no mere than a nominal value. As an in stance of ihis may be mentioned a now vcry.unusual cir cumstance which occurred in the course of business, namely, the lending of Bank notes upon stock, without any interest being demanded for the temporary accommodaion. Rio Janeiro papers to the 3d of 'March have been re ceived to-day by the Penguin. An article in one of the Rio papers, which is believed on the spot to have been written by the Minister of Finance, is expressly directed against a recurrence to a fresh issue of paper-money as a way of meeting any part of the deficiency, and hence some have supposed that a domestic loan will he created to sup ply present wantr. It is said that the Minister of Finance has for some time past been paying debts due before he came into office, by issuing stock to the parties at 83 ror cent., which is considerably higher than the market-price. The exchange on England was quoted at the latest date 30d., and the local stock, 74 to • As much anxiety has been expresmod *concerning the probable supply of sugar from the East Indies, some sup posing that it would amount to 50,000 tons for the com mercial year from the Ist of May, 1840, to the 30th of April, 1841, and others being of opinion that it would fall short of that amount, it will be satisfactory to know that according to a private letter received from Calcutta, and dated the 13th of February, the export already ex ceeds fourteen lacs of maunds, and will, it is computed, amount in the aggregate to seventeen lacs, which is up. wards of 62,000 tons. Another private letter from Calcutta mentions the fact that the American Cotton-planters were about to start fur the Jumna. POST.—The settlement of the account for the English stock market took place to-day. It proved, as was to be expected, a distinctly bear account, the pacific arrangements in various parts of the world having had the effect of sti mulating prices since the former settling-day with hardly any interruption. Money was procurable on exceedingly easy terms ; so much so, in fact, that Bank notes were given, on the deposit of stock, to a considerable amount without interest. The committee of Spanish-American bondholders met in the course of the day on the subject of statements that have been lately published by one of our morning con temporaries, on the financial affairs of Mexico. The object of them was apparently to produce a " rig" at the Stock Exchange, and the Committee are desirous, in conse quence of what has been said of their origin, to trace them to their source, we moan officially, for there can be little doubt about the author. _ _ We regret to hear that further disturbances in Peru and Bolivia are talked of, as, although the purpose of a fresh insurrection would most likely be the restoration of Santa Cruz, it is much to be desired, for the sake of the com merce of the two Republics, as well as of the Boldholders, that both should enjoy at length a few years of repose. No particulars of the rumoured troubles have transpired. SUN.—This afternoon the Colonial Markets re-opened, but none of them have yet assumed a healthy appearance, nor is it likely they will do se until the import duties question is quite settled. The rather improved demand that has arisen for Indigo appears to indicate au expectation of a better trade in manufactures. It was rather expected in some quarters that the Bank Directors would have issued a notice today for renewing the one that expires on the 21st inst. respecting discounts, but it may probably have been deemed expedient, to post pone such a measure until the last moment, in order that the Direct°Cs may avail themselves .of any change in the Money Market ; for if, as we are informed, their position is so much more secu'e than it was, there is some reason, per haps, to anticipate an early relaxation in the amount of interest charged by the Corporation. It is quite as well in these matters to reflect well before acting. For imme diate transfer Consols realized 90+ to 90+, being a rise of I per cent., and for the 25th May 90+ to or only a con tinuation of * per cent. Bank Stock was at 173, and India Stock rose to 254+ and 255+. The New Three and-a- Half per Cents. were marked 99* to -, and the Three per Cent. Reduced 89+ to Exchequer Bills were at 12s. to 14s. premium, and India Bonds at 2s. pre mium to par. It is surprising, in the face of so many adverse circum stances, that the Peninsular Securities find a market at all, but although saleable, they are certainly very heavy. The New Five per Cents. were marked 33i to 1 1 to-day, and the Three per Cents. 20-k Spanish Active Bonds were heavy at 23 to *. Mexican at 31 to 30k. Buenos Ayres at 24+ to 23+, and Brazilian at 69. Russian Bonds were at 113, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 52* to I. The Railway Shares are still buoyant. Great Western realized 30, the New 15, the Birmingham 69, and the South Western 19* premium. Manchester and Leeds were 3+, and Brighton 3k discount. London and West minster Bank Shares brought 2+ premium. THE ROYAL EXCHANGE.—The attention of the public should be drawn to a subject which, if not firomptly attended to by the proper authorities, will mate rially affect the comfort and convenience of all who may have business to transact at the Bank and the Royal Ex change about to be erected. By virtue of an Act obtained by the Bank for the widening and improving the streets adjoining, the old church at tl c corner of St. Bartholo mew-lane was puked down, and the ground sold to the Sun Fire-office, for the purpose of erecting their new building upon that site, according to a plan approved of by the Lords of the Treasury, and agreed upon between them. Whether by an oversight or otherwise, we cannot say, but certain it is, that the Sun Fire_ocice are now laying down their foundwion fall four feet in advance of the line as laid down in their agreement with the Treasury, thus curtailing by so much the width and dimension of the new street. We trust that the proper authorities will lose no time in inves tigating the Reject, in order that the public may not but 'o:. by the cupidity of prix ite interests, in direct violation of the Act made for their protectior. BOOKSELLING AT PRESTON.--A licensed hawker having advertised the importation and intended sale of three thousand v Aneres of cheap books, had been so !niece 4(11 in his operation, which was carried on in the open marke'-pllee, that he felt it necessary to apologise to " the reading public," because his large stock had been exhausted a day sooner than he Lad anticipated. Ile at the same time promised the literati of Preston to return soon with a still more splendid supply for their accommo dation.— Granville's Spas of England. ry SKILFUL MIMICRY.—I was again at Count Daru's, and was not a little astonished when Baron Des genettes stepped up to me, and expressed a wish to see the personification of himself; about which he had beard so much, and begged I would, for a few minutes, become his representative. I could not refuse a request which 'con veyed so high a compliment to me, though I confess I felt somewhat diffident in r.tt impting the imititiort in the pre sence of my distinguished model. By degrees, however, I got inspired with my subject : I moved about; chatting first with people on my right, then with cthcrs on my let', placing my hand on the hilt of my swerd, after the doc tor's pecu:iar manner. I had at my tongue's end some of the happy mots which were currently assigned to him, and I contrived to bring them in, not perhaps very inaptly.

Upon which charge the Court came to the following de2ision Finding.—The Court having maturely weighed and considered what has been adduced in support of the prosecution, together with what the prisoner Lieutenant William Gibbard, of the 16th Regiment Native In fantry, has brought forward on his defence, is of opinion that he is guilty of the charge preferred against him, with the exception of the word " atrociously," and that " four" instead of " five" prisoners, as therein specified, were put to death.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE COURT. Having thus performed its painful duty, the Court is anxious to bring to the notice of the Commander of the Forces, some circumstance 3 of an extenuating na ture, which authorise its recommending the prisoner to his favourable consideration, viz., the extraordinary or ders he received from the Political Superintendent of the Sawant Warree State, the evident conviction that he was acting in strict conformity with those orders ; the approbation which he sought and received from the Political Superintendent (under whose orders he acted), from his own immediate Commanding Officer, and those with whom he associated, his youth, the activity and zeal he has frequently displayed, both prior to, and sub sequent to, the 24th of December, 1838, and, finally, the high character ha has received for humanity and gentleness towards the natives generally. The above reasons lead the Court to believe that the lamentable error he has fallen into was one of judgment only, and therefore to recommend to the favourable consideration of the Commander of the Forces, feeling assured that the experience he has so dearly earned is sufficient security against a recurrence of such a misfortune. (Signed) G. BROWNE, Major and President. REMARKS BY THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. The trial in the above case was closed previously to my assuming command of the army of this Presidency, but circumstances have thrown on me the painful duty of confirming the finding and sentence, and it is with deep regret I observe, that the proceedings develop matter which make it impossible for me to accede to the recommendation of the Court, or in any way avoid giving full effect to the award. I am further concerned to remark, that evidence recorded in the case imperatively demands that pro ceedings shall be adopted towards another officer, that he may have an opportunity of clearing his conduct, or that the ends of justice, and the interest of the public service, may be vindicated. (Signed) THOMAS M'MAHON, Lieutenant-General and Commander-in-Chief. The name of Lieutenant William Gibbard is to be struck off the strength of the army from this date.

For sumo time past she has been labouring under the delusion that some persons intended to murder her, and o s that night she imagined they were breaking into her room for that pur pose, and under the influence of that delusion, and to escape, she leaped from the window. It is a miracle she was not dashed to pieces. THE DEANERY OF 'VOL:K.—One hundred and twenty-five years, it is sail, have pvsed since a case like that which occupied the fete visitation has engaged the attention of any of our Euelebiastiedt Courts. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Arum: 15. TURTLE V. WALLIS. This was an action for a breach of an agreement under which the defendant undertook to :tipple-etch a life.likeness of the Rev. Dr. Dillon, at a price to he named by the defendant, the plaintiff undertaking to procure a sitting from the Rev. Doctor, the work to be sent home io three weeks. The Lord Chief Baron nonsuited the plaintiff at the trial, on the ground that the agreement was void, be cause of the vagueness of the price. Mr. PLATT now contended that the nonsuit was right, not only on that ground, but also because the agreement proved was different from that in the record. In the latter there was not a word about the sitting of Dr. Dillon. Mr. CROWDRR, in support of his role for a new trial, contended that the latter point was not made at the trial, and even were it so, there was nothing to show that it was any part of the contract—it might have been a mere promise on the part cf Turtle to asiiit his then friend Mr. Wallis. With respect to the first poin, the defendant had sent home the etching, but not in time; however, he had brought his action and had actually got 261. si. for his labour. He thought the whole question was one for the consideration of the Jury. The COURT were of opinion that the rule ought to be discharged upon the latter ground. They were clearly of opinion that the sitting of Dr. Dillon formed a part, and an essential part of the agreement. —Rule discharged. SHERIFFS' COURT, T fIUBSDA l', APRIL 15. (Before Mr. Under sheriff BURCIIELL.) CELII. CON. CLEGG V. WADE This was an action for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife. The plaintiff was the son of a gentleman of fortune, residing in Cheshire. The parties were married in 1835, but the match was not approved of by the plaintiff's fa mily. Af:er the marriage the plaintiff and his wife re sided at Torquay, but in 1840 they came to London, and Mrs. Glegg resided at a boarding-house in Claremont-square, Pcntonville. In the beginning of January the defendant was residing at the house, but no suspicion was excited, although the plaintiff was then on a visit to his family. On the 26 , h of January Mrs. Glegg left, saying she was going into the country for a few days, and the same afternoon Mr. Wade also left, and did not return. Mrs. Glegg came back in a week, and Mr. Glegg soon after called, and they went down to Torquay. It was, however, discovered that Mrs. Clegg, when she absented herself for a week, had been Lying with Sir. Wade at the French Horn Inn at Wandsworth. Mrs. Glegg is about 40 or 45, Mr. Glegg about 27. Mr. Wade is 22 or 23. Mr. Wade had a situation at a chemist's, but he had left it. Mrs. Clegg, paid a guinea a week for her board and lodging. Latterly Mr. Glegg called every day. The UNDER-SHERIFF havipg summed up the evidence, The Jury, without hesitation, gave a verdict for the plaintiff.—Damages one farthing. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, APRIL 15 "THE WATERFORD ARMS Jane Edwards, a young woman, applied to be dis charged. She was supported by Mr. Woodroffc. The insolvent had kept the Waterford Arms, in the Haymarket, which had been called the Turk's llead. There were some curious statements in her schedule. The insolvent ascribed her insolvency to various causes—the in sufficiency of her profits, the breakage of her property, and not being able to get in her debts. There was an item of 601. as a loss for th.e breakage of glass and the damage of furniture. Several debts were claimed from gentlemen for wine and money lent, and in the list appeared the name of Lord Waldcgrave as a debtor for 481. 1 Os. for " wine and money advanced." His Lordship was inserted as a good debtor. The insolvent was asked a few questions by Mr. Com missioner BOWEN. It appeared that she left in November the Waterford Arms, where she paid 1301. 10!1. a year as rent. A dis tress was put in, but a gentleman of fortune came forward and paid the money. Mr. Commissioner BowEN asked her who now kept the house ?—The insolvent said she did not know. The Court adjourned the case to perfect some services of notices on creditors. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-110 USE. A man named Edward Mason, was charged with hav ing robbed Mr. Joseph Taylor, his employer, a plumber, of various sums of money. John Paul, assistant-clerk to the Board of Guardians of the City of London Union, stated that on the 11th of April, IS4O, he paid the prisoner the sum of 11. 15s. 9d., the amount of a bill for plumber's work done on the pre mises of the Board, 35, Cannon-street, by Mr. Taylor. William Wells, of No. 20, Budge-row, cork manufac turer, stated that on the 13th March be paid the prisoner the sum of 51. Bs., for plumber's work - dune by Mr. Taylor. The receipts of the prisoner for the money were pro duced. Mr. Taylor said that the prisoner had been in his service as a clerk about a year and a half, and in that capacity had been employed to collect accounts from the customers. Witness had recently discovered the embezzlement, by the prisoner, of various sums cf money, and the prisoner had never paid over to him any part of the two sums specified, nor made any entry of them in the books. A constable who apprehended the prisoner, steed that in the prisoner's room he found a letter addressed to Mr. Taylor, containing a full admission of the offaree, and ex pr,:s.sing hopes of f o rgiveness ; aid in the letter wss a list of names (thirteen in nu.nber), and sums of money re ceived by the prisoner and not accounted for. The letter was acknowledged by the prisoner to be in his hand-writing. Committed fir trial. Two well.dressed young moo, named George Hudson and Samuel Mason, who have been in the habit of pick iag pockets, v.ere put to the bar, charged with havizag at tempted to rob a Mrs. Bacfoot. The prizoners were well disguised with cloaks lined with silk, end decorated with tas.els. A gentleman saw one of the prisoners walk up to Mrs. Barfuot in Fenchurch-street, raise her gown, and take something from her ; while the other held his cl,•ak so as to screen the thief from public observa'ion. Wocn Mrs. Barfoot was asked whether she had lett anything, she looked on thu ground and saw her purse lying there. It contained several duplicates, which she valued at 5/. The prisoner, who had picked her pocket, was immediately apprehended, and the offer expostulated with him, re. presenting that it was quite impossiblo that so respectable a person could be guilty of an iv.:t of the kind. The two prisoners were soon identities by the police as the asso ciates of well-known thieves. Mason—Thieves! rot at all. lt's quite a mistake, I do assure you, my Lord. The LOLD MAYOR—Pray where do ycu live, young man ? Mason —Why, my Lord, I don't like to say ex actly, not at present. The LORD MAYOR—Tire officers seem to know some thing about you? Masou—Not at all. my Lore. I've only just come to town. They say that I itA a cloak on me. Now, I never saw that cloak in muf life before this day. The Low Mavon—Has Hudson anything to say ? Hudsou—Ncthine - . The officer 6 said that the t'.tevcs dressed so elegantly every thy, that it was difficult to discover them except when actually engaged in plundering.; and it was a com mon manoeuvre to use dashing cloaks as a blind. Committed. FORGERY AND SWINDLING ON A LARGE SCALE. —A paragraph appem-ed in souse of the pan t ers cf Wednesday, stat!ng fr.orne of the circumstances of au cstensive case of swinuting, in which a SpaLi:ll refugee, who assume l the came of the Chevalier ee la Mott, was concerned. The paragraph truly represented that the pre:cm-led Chevalier had obtained from Messrs. P. and L,, cminent merchants in London, a large sum of money upon forged bale, by means of a forged letter of introduction of Mews Chau vileau and Co., of Paris, but it did not state that the capture of the offender was effected principally through the activity and t..lont of John and Daniel Forrester, the officers of this Justice-room. When these officers re ceived iaformaticn of the commission of the offence, they soon succeeded in ascertaining the real name of the offender, and his residence bot h in London and Paris, and upon making communication of these paniculars to the plundered parties, John Forrester was directed to pro ceed to Paris, and after his arrivsl there on the sth inst., M—, .the delinquent, was apprehended.
