This Company, established by Act of Parliament, affords the most perfect security in an ample paid-up Capital, and in the great success which has attended it, since ito commence ment in 1634. In 1641 the Company declared an addition to the Share holders of one-half of their Stock, and also added 21. per Cent. per Annum, from the date of the policies to those par ties who had insured with Profits. The Premiums nevertheless are on the most moderate scales and only a moiety need be paid for the first five years, where the Insurance is for life. 'I he amount of bonus added to policies since the commence ment .f the Company in March 1834, to the 31st December l S4O, is as follow•s : Sum Assm ed. Time Assured.

In addition to the subscribed Capital of £300,000, the As sured have the security of the Company's income of upwards of £50,000 per auburn, yearly increasing, and an accumulating Assurance Fund invested in Government and other available securities, of considerably larger amount than the estimated liabilities of the Company. The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale com patible with the security of the Assured, and the stability of the Company, thereby, is effect, giving to every Policy Holder an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits.

The Secretary having read the advertisement call ing the meeting, The CIIAIRMAN rose and said, that on the 30th September last the Committee of Portuguese Bond holders had a meeting at his counting-house in the Old Swan, and the propriety of converting their old original bonds was then discussed. As Chairman of the Committee he called that meeting together, in consequence of a letter he had had the honour of re . ceiving from Baron Moneorvo, containing a decree which had been proinulgated by the Queen of Por tugal. At that meeting there was considerable dis cussion as to the propriety of recommending the Bondholders at large to convert their bonds in conse quence of that decree. lt was but right to state that at that meeting some gentlemen thought right to dis sent from that recommendation. He (the Chairman) thought otherwise, and the majority of that meeting were in favour of recommending the conversion of -these bonds. Ile (the Chairman) had great pleasure in meeting them that day, as he felt some explanation was due from him in consequence of his having opposed that conversion upon a former occasion. lie wrote to his Excellency Senor Miranda, Minister of Finance for Portugal. On the 13th of March, 1841, he informed him that he was anxious to afford every accommoda tion in his power as to the time given, but that the Bondholders expected that Portugfil would grant new loans in exchange. His Excellency wrote that as the decree had passed into a law he could not comply with his request. He would call upon the Secretary to read that letter. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. (MONDAY'S RACES CONCLUDED.) The following are a few additional particulars of the Handicap and Plate Races t Handicap.—The Tragedy colt made the best running he could, followed by Pelenne, Cruiskeen, and Rapture, the others tieing closely'laid up ; they kept so to th, cords, when the Duke's colt declined, and the lead was taken by Jeremy Diddler, who went on with the running to the end, and won easy by a length. The Hymen colt rushed it at the last, and was placed second ; £ameleor., the Tragedy colt, and Rapture were well up. T. Y. C. Plate—The race throughout was between the two horses placed ; they kept nearly abreast till half-way up the ropes, when The Queen of the Gipsies quitted her companion, and won in a canter ; The Prince of Wales, Rook's-nest, and Mr. Payne's filly, were head and head about two lengths from the second. Tile appearance of Lord Lowther's name as the owner of Silrertail colt, gave great pleasure to the old frequenters of Newmarket. A. F. Plate.—St. Francis had the lead for the first quarter of a mile, but the speed not being good enough, Jelin Day, on Discord, put on the steam, made play at a strong pace, disposed of the favourite at the ropes, and won easily, by a length. BETTING AFTER THE RACES. CESAREWITCH STAKES. - - "That in consequence of the satisfactory explana tion made, and the solemn guarantee given in the decree of the Portuguese Government, dated the sth of August last, to continue faithfully to pay the dividends as they become due in London, that this meeting do now withdraw all further opposition to the conversion of Portuguese Stock, in comformity with the decree of her Most Faithful. Majesty's Go vernment, and that such conversion is agreed to ac cordingly. " Resolved, That a copy of this Resolution be transmitted to the Committee of the Stock Exchange, with a request that the new converted Stock may be permitted to be marked in the official list, and that thanks be tendered for the support and assistance which the Portuguese Committee have received from the Committee of the Stock Exchange, in their endea vour to obtain justice for the Bondholders." The resolutions were carried nem. dis. A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, who briefly acknov%ledged the honour, and the meet ing tutourned. , We have deferred, till all use of deferring longer is over, the giving any decided statement as to the pre sent state of trade in this town, and the prospects for the winter. Feeling for the manufacturers and mer chants in business, as well as for the workmen, whose last .hope of comfort, if not of existence, depended on the success of our fall trade—bad as we knew it to be, r And doubtful as were its prospects—we were resolved that not a word from our per: would make it worse, or tend in the smallest to influence either merchant or weaver in delaying to purchase, with the hope of a better bargain in the forced sale of the fashionable pro ductions prepared for this season of the year. All mo tive for silence in this respect is now, however, over. The period for the fall trade has Commenced, gone on, ind is now within a few days, or, at the most, weeks, of its conclusion, and we are now bold to state, without fear of contradiction, that a more complete failure, and a more dismal prospect for the period that must inter vene till the spring trade will commence, never pre ;elated itself to the inhabitants of this place. The lropping of hands last year was nothing to the almost universal dismissal of workmen in the rich shawl trade which is now taking place, Good and bad tradesmen, the individuals at the rich pattern and the plain, are almost indiscriminately turned adrift as their web is finished, and no hope whatever remains for their obtaining labour in the branch they have been accustomed to for at least three or four months ROYAL ASYLUM for .DESTITUTE FEMALES, MANOR HOUSE, CHELSEA. The following is the Eighteenth Report of this ad mirable Institution, of which the Queen is the Pa troness : " The public attention has long been called to the consideration of prison discipline. The gradual and progressive improvements which have taken place in the disposition of the building, by providing . for the separation, the cleanliness, and health of the priso ners, and the extension of these improvements to the moral advance and reformation of the offender, are well known facts. The chief object of imprisonment seems now to be completely understood, and to be systematically pursued—that is, " the reform of the offender, and the prevention of future criminality." So far, then, our criminal and vagrant population is brought under a happy influence ; and a good hope may be entertained, that the means now offered by judicious discipline and diligent instruction, operate in very many cases towards the moral good of the prisoner. But however great the change may be which has been effected in this place of punishment; that place must necessarily be one of degradation still; and if, on quitting it, the discharged female is desti tute of a home, which is too frequently the case,, where can she seek protection ? Not from the employer who prosecuted her ; nor can she elsewhere plead a claim for respectable employment. She must therefore be followed, on her release, by the very circumstances that led to her fall. The open door offers no freedom to those forlorn individuals ; often, on the contrary, do they desire to be retained in the prison, that they may be saved from the dreadful alternative that awaits them in the fearful wo r ld without; hence it is seen ho w im portant and bow necessary an appendage to a H ouse of Correction is a House of Refuge, where time is al lowed for ripening' in sheltering security any seeds of good which may have been implanted. "The objects embraced by the Royal Asylum are cal culated to bring a remedy to the many bad evils which (especially in large cities) produce delinquency, The neglected and often forsaken child of bad parents, the uneducated and destitute orphan, who from her igno rance and inefficiency is instantly turned adrift after a short and impatient trial has been made of her powers of usefulness ; thus exposed, those needy chil dren of affliction must either starve or find resources which too often place them 6n the criminal list. Young persons who have been committed for the first act of dishonesty, but who are not otherwise depraved, form the first class of the inmates of the Royal Asylum. the second class may be styled an intermediate tri bnnal ; this is composed of those who have been dis charged from service for dishonesty, but who have not undergone the ordeal of the gaol. A third class, and not the least important and interesting, is one for whom no shelter, no place of instruction, is provided in any of the existing charities in London. In this class 0 - e ignorant and destitute young female, who is incapable of gaining her livelihoed, but who has never by crime become amenable to the law, is received, protected, and instructed. These several classes are placed under the care of a principal matron and four others, who are constantly with their ap fointed charge. Although the time for detaining the inmates must depend upon circumstances, they are, if necessary, allowed two years for probation and instruction, during which time they are taught and actively employed in needle-work, washing, baking, and cooking for the establishment, and every kind of household work. The most scrupulous attention is paid to the religious and moral improvement of the inmates. They attend Park Chapel twice every Sun day ; and every evening, after the active duties of the day are over, those who cannot read are instructed, Whilst the more advanced prepare Scripture lessons set them by the Ladies' Committee, who take classes, and attend three times a week for the purpose. It was stated in the last year's Report that an agreement had been entered into w ith t h e C omm itt ee o f th e Sheriffs' Fund Society, by w hi c h th e Sheriffs of London and Middlesex had the privilege of retaining in the Asylum twenty females, who had been tried, or discharged without trial, upon the payment of the annual sum of 3001. This agreement, which was made as an experiment, ceased in December, 1841. A Gentlemen's Committee also, which had been formed to manage the financial affairs of the Society, have given up their trust ; but at the time of their so doing, there were five young women in the institution received on their recommendation, they agreed to pay one shilling a day for the maintenance of each, so long as they found it necessary to retain them. Of that number only two now remain ; and when this additional source of income ceases, the Society will fall back into its original state of un certain support, depending upon voluntary subscrip tions, casual donations, and the produce of the wo men'sver proved insufficient, o n accoun t o f th e sma ll needlework and washing, which resources have amount of annual subscriptions. The liberality of the Corporation of London, which presented this So ciety with 200 guineas (as stated in our last Report) And that of the gentlemen who 'attended the public dinner in commemoration of her Majesty becoming the Patroness of the Institution, who then gave dona tions and subscriptions amounting to 3501., which cleared a heavy debt which had long affected it, and up to the present time the receipts and expenditure have balanced each other ; but unless the stated in come can be permanently increased, by a considerable addition of annual subscribers, difficulties must inevi tably arise. Earnestly, therefore, do the Committee solicit this boon from the benevolent, from those per sons, of which the number is great in these days, who rejoice in raising the poor and the afflicted from their misery and their poverty, and also endeavour to sub stitute the gentle influence of Christian instruction And Christian relief for criminal prosecution.

The manufacturers have all light stocks at present, and, from the sad experience of the last few years, they are determined to keep them so, with the resolution that it is better to have no trade whatever, than a trade of utter ruin. We highly approve of this resolution, because the empty warehouses can scarcely fail to open up a ready and wholesome trade in the spring season, unless the energies of the country are to further exhausted by the ruinous restrictions of monopoly. As may readily be supposed, the prospects and condition of the town, under such a state of things, is dismal in the extreme. The Relief Committee are TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FOUR O'CLOCK.—The Cesare witch decided this afternoon, although, from the indiffe rent grade ofits competitors, the worst in the estima tion of sporting men that has been run since the race was established, has not been less attractive with the public ; from which we may infer, that although racing and betting have gone hand in hand together for so many years, as to be almost identical with each other, the existence of the Turf is not " necessarily dependent on the Ring." Whether this is a source of congratulation, or ir.t, we leave others to settle ; sufficient for our present purpose is it to state, that the immense assemblage on the point of dispersion when this dispatch was made up, proved indisputably that " the race"—as a betting one, incomparably bad—had lost none of its interest with the million." The town and neighbourhood have been in a state of bustle and excitement from an early hour, and an excellent day has been made the more enjoyable, by weather delightfully bright and warm. At half-past one, business commenced with a Match for 100, h ft. T.Y.C. Lord Kelburne's Mina ret, Bst 71b (Rubinson), beat Lord Keiburne's Retainer colt, 7st. The Secretary then read the letter, which ple Iged the Portuguese Government to a metallic currency in payment of the interest due on the bonds. The CHAIRMAN, in continuation, said, they wouli perceive that by that letter his Excellency Senor Miranda pledged himself to a metallic currency. That was not satisfactory to himself (the Chairman), be cause he stated that life was uncertain, and in proof of this the honourable individu a l w h ose letter had just been read was now no more. The tenure of office was uncertain, and there were frequent changes of Ministry. This letter was not satisfactory to him, and he advised his friends, many bankers and other capitalists, not to convert their old and original bonds. He would not be doing justice to the late Ministry of Portugal, which was designated the Septem brists, in consequence of their having made some alteration in the Charter, which had been granted to that country, if he did not state that they were anxious to do justice to the Bondholders to the utmost of their ability, as much so as those now in power. They all knew the character of that excel lent individual the Duke of Terceira. A more ho nourable man never lived. The Minister of Finance, his Excellency Baron Tojal, was his (the Chair man's) intimate and personal friend, and a more ho nourable man never lived, or more capable of con ducting the financial affairs of any nation. He had the pleasure of stating to them, and he had it from authority, that a Court had been formed in Portugal for the purpose of paying the dividends due to the Bondholders. The money received by that Court could not otherwise be disposed of.—(Cheers.) That was not all; his last letter from Lisbon brought him information, that at that moment there was sitting a Commission for the purpose of reducing the expendi ture, and bringing it within the revenue of the king dom of Portugal. These two facts he stated to them with great pleasure, as well on their account as on his own, for he was a holder of eight hundred thou sand pounds' worth, and upwards, of bonds, and he felt that their prospects had never been so bright as they were at present. He thought that, ere long, their stock, which was now selling at 36k, would reach 50, or even 60—that was, provided the counzy was blessed with a continuance of peace. Up to this time they had seen the Government of one month displaced by the next. Ile believed, however, that the present Government was firmly established. He was perfectly satisfied with the decree of Moncorvo, although many gentle men saw cause for apprehension. lie was a feeble advocate of their cause, but he left no stone unturned, For in forwarding the interest of the Bondholders, he felt that he was only forwarding his own interest. In what he had done he had not compromised the smallest Bondholder; he had fought their battles to the best.of his ability, but he took no credit to him self; and he hoped' they would pass the resolution agreeing to the conversion of the bonds unanimously. not only entirely exhausted of funds, but so deep in debt, that with the whole of the members, it is a matter of serious consideration whether or not they should continue in existence fur one other week. For the last ten days the Committee have been as a body almost inoperative; relief is refused to all but those who were previously on the list, with the exception of cases actually starving; while, at the same time, hundreds and hundreds of families are every whit as much in want of relief as those who are receiving it, and only enabled to keep themselves in life by pawn ing and selling such necessaries as they-possess in the shape of furniture and clothing. In the adjoining villages and towns dependent on the Glasgow trade, hand-loom weaving is at present quite abundant, and all of the Paisley tradesmen who can obtain such work are rapidly turning their hand to it. Many of the Paisley houses have also com menced the manufacture of tartans in all their different varieties—but as the season for that description of goods must be soon over, the. engagements of the workmen are limited to very short webs ; and, as may easily be supposed, no change of trade such as this can be expected to take up at once the thousands of workmen who are now being thrown idle.—Saturday Post.

TIIE MURDER AT BERMONDSEY. therefore believed that this scheme had been got up for fraudulent purposes.—(Disapprobation.) There were few who thought with him there that day, but he had a letter from a gentleman who had become a squatter in New South Wales in consequence of his connection with these bonds, and he . would read it. The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to read the let ter, but amidst such general disapprobation that be fore its conclusion he desisted, and shutting up the letter he said, that as he never, on the part of his friends, could agree to the proposed conversion, he should at once resign his seat on the Committee.— (He then left the table and the room simultaneously.) Yesterday an inquest was held at the Coopers' Arms, Russell-street, Bermondsey, before Mr. Carter, to inquire into the circumstance of the death of Eliza-. beth Jessup, thirty-five years of age, who was mur dered by her husband on the morning of Monday last. Jane Burton Shepherd, of No. 3, Goulstone's buildings, Bermondsey, New .road, deposed that on Monday morning last, about six o'clock, he heard the cry of murder, and on looking out of his window he saw a lad named Thomas Jessup, standing at his fa ther's door, No. 14, in the above buildings, with only his night-shirt on. He it was who had been calling murder. He immediately went across to him, and with another neighbour; named Crampton, entered the house, when he saw William Jessup on the floor in a kneeling posture, with a razor in his hand, in the act of cutting his throat. Crampton wrenched the razor from his hand. In the back room he saw the deceased lying on the floor with her head near the stairs, and a deep wound on the left side of her neck, from which the blood was flowing. She breathed faintly and expired. The police and Dr. Sterry were sent for, and after the latter had bandaged up the wounds in Jessup's throat, he was taken to Guy's A BONDHOLDER said, that as they hall got a new tariff he supposed that the Portuguese Government was going to send over some bales of Portuguese bonds, and he had no objection to the c han g e, p rov id e d the airman would satisfactorily answer him this question—Was it provided by the present Cortes that the dividends should be paid in London ? The CHAIRMAN said that if the Hon. Gentleman had read the decree, he would have found that such was the fact. lie would reply as shortly as possible to the argument of Capt. Britten. He believed that had it not been lb: revolution after revolution suc ceeding each other, instigated by Don Miguel, there would not be one penny of interest in arrears,.and the 165. sd. in arrears he attributed to the revolutions which succeeded each other, and their disastrous effects upon the commerce of that country. But now they had got a Government which he firmly believed to be stable, not only stable, but one that would do them (the Bondholders), justice. He (the Chairman) had had a great deal to do with Portugal, and he never found them wanting ; and if the meeting would indulge him but a second he would give them substantial proof of it. What was the empire of the Brazils ? Although the inhabi tants of the Brazils were called Brazilian, they were entirely Portuguese. Had not the Brazilians paid them thousands, and hundreds of thousands ? Portugal was anxious to do likewise. Portugal was anxious to do this, and, by converting their bonds, they would get an addition to their dividend of Bs. per cent., which would make their dividends nearly equal to that of the Three per Cent Consols.—(Cheers.) Did they suppose that he would not take that ?—(Laughter and cheers.) Not only that, these dividends would be payable in London, and he felt satisfied that the Por tuguese Government never meant anything else than that. He would be very glad if Spain would follow the honourable example of Portugal ; but he wished to be distinctly understood that he was not finding fault with Spain, for he had not the slightest doubt that 'they would have paid their liabilities, but that her re venues had been destroyed by a corrupt Court and a rapacious clergy. He was glad that he could give them some satisfactory information respecting Spain, for he could say that Espartero was extremely anxious to do them justice. When he advanced his money in the Spanish Bonds, he did not consider hs remune tion, although he did expect to be remunerated at some future time. But if Don Miguel had asked him to advance money, he would not have done so at any price.—(Cheers.) When that loan was first raised some of the best sons of Portugal were in this country in a state of destitution. They were obliged to fly their families, their properties, arid their fronds to save their lives from that modern Nero Don Miguel. He repeated that he had done all in his power to fur ther the interests of the Bondholders, and he had kept. two or three clerks to answer applications on the sub ject from different parts of the country. Although they might have had a more efficient advocate, he would say that they could not have had a more faith ful or zealous one.—(Cheers.) lie had not attempted to convert his bonds without first coming like an honest English merchant, and as a man of business before the Bondholders to state his determination. He felt the utmost confidence in the Portuguese Govern ment. He had advanced his money to give to that country a Constitutional Government, and he felt that in two years time, that in addition to 2/.lBs. lid. per cent., they would have half per cent. more. He left with confidence the resolutions which he had Hospital. Henry Crampton said—Jessup was sensible, and on my saying to him, " Why did you do this," he replied, " I had a call from the Lord to do it in the night." I said, " The Devil you mean." He made answer, " The Devil then. I had a call to do it, and the time was come." Witness said that he spoke no thing more on the subject. Thomas Jessup, 16 years of age, stated that the de ceased was his mother-in-law. On Monday morning, about six o'clock, she got up first and went down stairs. In about five minutes his father went down, he had only his shirt and stockings on. Directly af terwards witness heard his mother call out, " Tom," as if in a state of alarm. He ran down and saw them both struggling together at the foot of the stairs. He made towards the door of the house, and on fuming round saw his mother fall, and blood appeared to be issuing from her neck. He then called out " Murder." Mr. Henry Sterry, surgeon, stated that he was called in, when he found the deceased on the floor quite dead.. There was a deep wound on the left side or the neck, eight inches long. The carotid artery and jugular vein were divided. She must have died instaneously. The wound appeared to have been in flicted by a sharp instrument, such as a razor. After some other evidence, the Coroner explained at some length the law, as applicable to such cases; and the Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of wilful murder against William Jessup. The Coroner then issued his warrant for the re moval of the wretched man to Newgate when suffi ciently recovered ; Mr. Slow the Beadle, on behalf of the parish authorities of Bermondsey, was bound over to prosecute, and the several witnesses to give evidence.

The Indian papers, among the commercial infor mation available for the English reader, publish a comparative statement of the imports into and ex ports from Calcutta, with some statistics connected with the shipping frequenting Bengal, all illustra tive of the progress of the trade of that part of the world. The calculations profess to be made upon official data, and include 1837-38 to 1841-42. To show the traffic of the port, it will be as well, in the first place, to give the amount of tonnage for these respective periods, which, it will be perceived, on imports, gives, in favour of the latter period, taking into account the coasting trade of the country, the great excess of 86 per cent. ; the amount being in 1837-38, 163,690 tons, by 596 vessels, and in 1841- 42, 304,977 tons, by 1,001 vessels. The export tonnage shows an increase of 61 per cent. ; the amount in 1837-38, by 530 vessels, being 172,111 tons ; and in 1841-42, by 885 vessels, being 277,816 tons. From the details of these respective returns it is ascertained that the traffic to and from Great Britain had increased nearly twofold. The total value of imports general, including treasure, in 1837-38 amounted to 4,06,99,504 Com pany's rupees, and in 1841-42 to 5,42,86,722 Com pany's rupees, proving an increase of nearly thirty per cent. As a commentary upon this progress of imports, the leading articles are selected to show the proportion. Cotton twist and yarn is the first eluci dation offered ; in 1837-38 the value of this import was 51,22,564 Company's rupees ; in 1840-41 it rose to 79,90,932 Company's rupees ; but in 1841-42 it was only 55,27,997 Company's rupees, the check being. beyond all doubt, produced by the generally disorganised and unsettled condition of trade there and at home. The value of the import of salt, another article selected as illus trating the rise and fall of this branch of Indian commerce, was in 1837-38 13,49,043 Company's rupees ; in 1839-40 it rose to 18,64,340 Company:a rupees, but in 1841-42 fell to 614,591 Company s rupees. The value of coffee imported in 1837-38 amounted to 96,288 Company's rupees ; in 1840-41 it rose to 413,782 Company's rupees, but in 1841-42 it had decreased to 317,890 Company's rupees. The article of tea, in contrary movement, shows an increase, even in lace of the war with China—a fact not a little remarkable, seeing how sensibly the market in this country was affected by the antici pated decrease in the supply, especially at and about the period in question. It is stated that the value of the import of this leaf in 1837-38 was 339,276 Company's rupees ; fell in 1838.39 to 153,507 Com pany's rupees ; rose in 1840-41 to 619,443 Com pany's rupees, and was in 1841-42 398,915 Com pany's rupees. The import of coals in 1837-38 was valued at 74,278 Company's rupees, and in 1841-42 358,372 Company's rupees, but how much was Eng lish was not stated ; and indeed there would appear, from the manner in which this item is dealt with, reasonable grounds fOr supposing that a very small proportion, if any, was the produce of our collieries. The value of the imports of tobacco is stated at 6,762 Company's rupees in 1837-38, , and at 95,724 Com pany s rupees in 1841-42 ; and the question is very well put—why is not the tobacco of India, the plant being indigenous to the country, improved by the use of foreign seed? The total value of exports general, including trea sure, are stated at 6,50,45,959 Company's rupees for 1837;38, and at 8,39,40,592 Company's rupees for 1841-42, or an increase of 34 per cent. In the same way, to exhibit the progress and fluctuations in the export trade of Bengal, the leading articles of produce are adduced as in the case of imports. In digo is stationed to take the lead ; the exports of this article in 1837-38 valued 1,12,47,681 Company's rupees, and in 1841-42 2,39,51,284 Company's rupees —a good increase of 112 per cent. Opium in value in 1837-38 was 2,12,92,386 Company's rupees, but in 1841-42 it was only 140 , 01 , 281 Company's rupees — a decrease of full 52 per cent. Of sugar, the ex port in 1837-38 was in value 67,18,911 Company ' s rupees,. in 1840-41 it was 1,64,68,89 8 Company s rupees, or the enormous. increase of 144 per which to a trifling extent was afterwar ds en t counter acted by_ the depression of the markets, in quence of the over-abundance of s u pp l y , e in 1841-42 the amount had decrease d to 1 3, I c its6 o . n 4 s 2 e .

The export of raw silk i n 1837-38 was 46,54,517 Company's rupees, and in 1841-42 it increased to 85,15,404 Company's rupees. The value of raw cotton exported in 1837-38 was 18,61,165 Company's rupees, in 1838-39 it was 22,21,889 Company's rupees, but from that point gradually decreases, till, in 1 841-42, it is noted at 12,05,347 Company's rupees, the obvious objec tion in all markets being its inferior quality to that of other countries growth. Both of su r and cotton, it is remarked that the Presidencws' are capable of yielding any quantity, and w h en time and management shall have afforded sufficient im provement, they will become formidable rivals in these two products to the other cotton and sugar producing countries. The value of the exports of saltpetre, in 1837-38, wa s 26,32,867 Company's rupees, and in 1841-42, 32,10,734 Company's rupees, showing a gradual improvement.

As tending to give some idea of the positive and successive increase of the trade of India, these figures arc entitled to consideration ; and as so much import ance now attaches to all that takes place in that quarter of the world, particularly in reference to the progress of commerce, and our claims upon its ter ritory, other facts and figures, calculated to throw more general light on its principal trading connexions may hereafter be given as a supplemental notice of the subject. LANCASHIRE SPECIAL COMMIS SION. LIVERPOOL, OCT. 10.—The Commission was opened with the usual formalities, when Lord Abinger pro ceeded to deliver his charge as follows : Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, It is with un affectedepain that I addrpss you on the present occa sion. You are aware of the disastrous state to which this gi eat county has been reduced for several weeks of the present summer; that lawless and riotous mul titudes of persons have assembled in the various manu facturing towns of the county, have proceeded to create disturbances, to excite alarm and terror in her Majesty's peaceable subjects, and have, w ith v i o l ence , p reven t e d workm is from following their daily avocations. Such a scene of lawless violence it is impossible long to endure. It does not appear, from any evidence I have hitherto seen or heard, that the people who were engaged in these excesses complain of.the high price of provisions or the want of labour. What gave rise to the imme diate occurrence which 'was the commencement of these transactions, haa not, at present, been ascer tained. Whether it was .owing to the imprudence or to the indiscretion of any of the master manuthc turers ; whether it originated in the schemes of any persons who considered that a general tnrn-eut might be advantageous to their peculiar political objects : or whether, when it commenced, it was not checked as early as it might have been by greater activity in the Magistrates—all these are matters at present left in obieurity,. and which time alone can detasrminee But it appears to be certain, that when once those riots begun, when once the people had fornieti theras selves into classes, for the purpose of turning eut, by force, the industrious men who were pursuing their avocations in other places, there did arise disposition among many of them, and those, too, pos sessing considerable power and some talent, to make use of that insurrection, and foment it, and per petuate it, or direct it to political objects. It seems that a society of persons, who are recognised by the title of Chartists, mixed themselves up with the un happy masses of the common people who had been deluded into this sort of insurrection. They mix4sl up with their orations, as you will find by the evi dence to be laid before you, many recommendations to peace and order ; but s-ouwill find those recomnaeais tions accompanied with statements, and the peg to of this and the neighbouring county were told, that all England was in arms ; that Seotland was pouring out her hundreds of thousands ; that Ireland wcs coming to the battle,- that the men of Birmingham, to the number of a hundred thousand, were armed with steel, and, insensible to the force of any military execution, were ready to join . them and carry the day. I must say, that this sort .of conspiracy, with such objects, should have been made the su4iect of prosecution for high treason. I am at a loss to know what distinction there is' between conspir acy to subvert the Government and impose force and restraint on all branches of the Legis lature, in order to have a particular measure passed into law, and the crime of high treason. The crime of high treason, by the law of this country, is technically limited to an attempt aimed at the life of the Sovereign, or to raising war upon the Sovereign ; but the Judges have, from the earliest times, con sidered that conspiracy to employ force to restrain the will of the Sovereign, is an overt act of high treason ; and, if satisfactorily proved, is sufficient to justify a Jury, when accompanisel with an intention of really imposing restraint on the I:7f'e will of the Sovereign, in finding that it was the crInSP of high treason. I do not understand that the Government intend to push the indictments that will be brougtx: before you on this occasion to that extent. Those people, I think, owe to the lenity of the Government that they are not put to a hazard by which their lives might be forfeited. But, however, you will have laid before you indictments for conspiracy to incite the people to insurrection, to endeavour to prevail on those who were not at work to continue in the state of insubordination, to compel by force those who were at work to quit their avocations, and to per severe in that lawless state of disorder and violence, and, I may say, privation also, till their favourite Charter was carried. If bills of that sort should be brought before you, and you should feei satisfied by the evidence you hear, that though great masses of people might not have been disposed actually fet take part in conspiracy with that object, yet there were /ulna persons among them who were active instru ments to persuade them, you w ill be justified in finding a charge of conspiracy against them, in order to put them on their trial. There is another class of offences, which, though not of equal mag nitude, is very dangerous, and must be punished whenever it is satisfactorily proved ; that is, the mei of simple rioting. A great deal has been said at dif ferent. times respecting what shall be deemed an un lawful assembly. But one thing is very clear, that an assembly consisting of such multitudes as to make all discussion and debate ridiculous and a farce, never could b e an assembly for deliberate and calm discus sion. Will any man in his senses contend, when he has the means of assembling together three or four thousands, that lie does so in order to form a delibera tive assembly, or to discuss speculative hints of law or of constitutional government ?. Upon the face of it it carries its own refutation. If an assembly, there fore, consist of such multitudes as to render all notion of serious debate impossible, or if you find them, by violence, putting doyen all attempt at debate—if you find they have only one object in view, which is to hear one side only ; if that is to be their assetnr bly met, for the purpose of deliberation, they can not protect themselves under that exemption. I understand you will have before you also some cases of violent and inflammatory speeches. Of course you will exercise your own judgment, whether the speeches made the subject of the charge of sedition alleged, were of a nature to produce that effect. There is one case before you, and that is a case of printing a seditious libel. Whether or not it will come before you, I am not certain; btit I am informed that it will. In that case you will have an opportu nity of seeing what the libel is. It purports to bean exhortation from the Council of the Chartists to all the labouring classes, to whom it is addressed, to con tinue in their present suspension of labour until the Charter is carried. It professes the words of peace and order, but it reminds the people that they are go verned by laws to which they are not parties ; that they have notlmade the laws ; and endeavours to per suade those who read it, that they can obtain no real security for their rights and enjoyments, except by means - of an organic alteration in the Constitution of the country. You will form your own judg ment of that paper. As I have had an opportunity of seeing it, I must say that the impression made upon my mind by it was , that it was full of danger, and particularly so at a season when the publi cation of it must be attended with consequences very different from the publication of such a document in ordinary times ; because, when documents of that kind are addressed to multitudes assembled in violation of the law, but supposed to be assembled ff to exe rc i se their own opinions on their own a atrs, you may easily judge what effect su ch an exhortation is calcul a t e d to have. Its effect must benos most d angerous, and there fore it is criminal. -- -- -- . excuse me for uttering this language to but I ofyour discretion,cannot help expres gentlemen concern that some of those persons who my m y d ee p te thesedoctrines among the poor are persons propagl fsufticient talent to know, very well the consequences to which they lead ; yet they persevere in them to You will de lude the people for some private (it must be) object of their own, in the hope that in the storm they may acquire some position in which thej finally expect to rule it, or, by a sort of malice against the successful enterprise or industry of those who have left them at a distance in the competition of honourable industry snd labour. One is led to conclude that those who are guilty of propagating among the working classes these doctrines, are thems e l ves consc i ous o f th e mis t hief which they propagate, and that if they should be detected th e y deserve condign punishment. I will not trouble you any longer with my address ; you will have all the cases laid before you, and you will need no further information from us as to the manner of dealing with them. You will be so good as to proceed as quickly as we are to perform.

There are some abbeys where, besides the usual choristers, their choir is aided by the students, novices, and professors. A military hand is often united to their in s t rumenta l music. In 'a life, uniform and monotonous such as theirs, where the hell and the dial regulate their every act, music may well be termed the poetic side. in the c onvents on the Danube every species of music is cultivated. Haydn's and Mozart's instrumental works ?are performed there with a degree of accuracy not to Jle surpassed in the drawing-rooms of Vienna. The brothers meet together several times a week lbr the !purpose of executing these works ; nor do they confine themselves exclusively to Haydn and Mozart; for their repertory is diversified with Beethoven, Spohr, Weber,- Hummel, Romberg, Mayseder, Ries, arid Fesca. They are well acquainted with, and execute_ with the gie a t es t skill, foreign product i ons, such as the iinspirations of Bocherini, Baal *and Clementi.—Maittori g tat ca TOW.
