''s. , , no means of calculating the sum of prosperity which this prohibitory tax has destroyed, nor is there any statistical process by which it can be arrived at. .We leave it to the imagination of the reader, merely observing that it is one of those short-sighted laws, the offspring of cupidity and ignorance, which were enacted when the grovelling and malignant principle of what in politics is known as the mercantile system, dictated the actions of law makers.. Taking this enlarged view, we will not dwell on the loss to our manufacturers on the profit of the articles with which the increased quantity of sugar must have been purchased, nor the loss of employment and wages to our artisans, who would have prepared the means of buying it, nor should we have adverted to those losses were it not that, in a limited degree, they take place under the present system, and make the 4,000,000/. we annually pay more than is requisite for the sugar actually consumed, represent only a portion of the Mischief really caused by the differential duty. We enter not into the question of: lavery, because the law was not made with any consideration of that subject, and had no influence on that question during the many years that it existed before slavery was abolished in our own colonies. It was working mischief before as well as since that period. The favour shown to our colonies was expressly intended to promote the cultivation of sugar by slam, though from a singular change of cir cumstances and views, it is now upheld as a means of checking slavery, and encouraging the cultivation of free labour sugar by the party which opposed with all its might the emancipation of slaves. It will be well, however, to remember that Sir R. PEEL, who on Friday induced the House of Commons to renew this prohibitory law, professes himself an advo cate for the abolition of prohibition. He has proclaimed himself also a convert to the principle that every man, and every nation, ought to buy in , the cheapest market ; he is to make up to us the income tax, he says, by numerous reductions of small amount ; he has put an end to the prohibition of cattle, of which he knows there are none to come in; and he renews, or enacts, a law, which nearly doubles the price of sugar, and keeps out of our market the tens of thousands of cwts. which are lying in bond, and might enter_ into consumption to-morrow if he pleased. Must we not conclude, therefore, that his free trade pro fdssions, by whi-.1 he has caught some foolish Liberals, are mere humbug, and that he really cares nothing about free trade, or about the people whom this new law, next in atrocity to the Corn-law, will contribute to starve? The Lords have, on sundry occasions, professed them selves the enemies of prohibition, but we find them, by their subserviency to the House of Commons on a ques tion of a tax, enacting a most mischievous prohibition, and lending themselves to commit a grievous injury on the people of England. It was generally admitted in the House of Lords on Thursday that the majority of the working population of this country are in a very distressed condition. Even the Duke of WELLINGTON contended that the prevalence of distress was such as to justify a Royal begging-box appeal to the charity of the nation. Words cannot describe the extent of the people's mi sery and despair in most of our large manufacturing towns. We have repeatedly described the state of things in Spitalfields and Paisley. The following Memorial, addressed terthe members of the Govern ment by the inhabitants of Stockport in public meet ing assembled, conveys, we are assured, but a very faint idea of the wretchedness which prevails in that once-flourishing borough : We, your memorialists, in public meeting assembled, would hereby approach the members of her Majesty's Government, and humbly, but truly, represent the truly deplorable and distressed condition of the people of this once flourishing but now fastly declining borough of Stockport, and pray your gracious consideration of the same, and that it may pleaze you to order and devise some plan of immediate and permanent relief. The beginning of your memorialists' distress may be dated as far back as October, 1836 ; it has been in creasing ever since the above date, but bas marched with fearful rapidity and severity on your memorialists during the last eighteen months. Some idea of the appalling distress existing in this borough may be gathered from the following statement of facts, which we, your memorialists, submit to your serious and deliberate consideration. There have existed in Stockport numerous sick and burial societies for a long period ; there were few individuals of the working classes but what belonged to some one or other of these societies ; there were also funeral societies, for assisting to inter children, and many were the numbers that belonged to these societies ; but since the depression of trade and consequent want of employment, many who were once members are now unable to maintain their membership (although the periodical payments of the members were very small) ; so that numbers who have been overtaken by sickness, and some who have died, have been cut off from the benefits themselves or their friends would have been entitled to ; and it is no unusual thing for those to be buried out of the poor's-rates, or by subscription from benevolent individuals, who would, if trade had re mained good, have had the solace of considering that the expenses of their funeral would be borne by funds partly created and supported by the means they enjoyed when work was plentiful, and they were in health to follow the same. 4 11, fr u ^ 1= 4.0110 L , • ems` T•gj,fi l itiltt ) , • , m s 'Fitt .; LONDON MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 6, 1842. The Sugar Duties, having received the assent of the House of Commons, will become the law of the land. The Lords dare not alter a Money Bill ; and whatever . iniquities it may perpetrate, they must give it their sanction. That circumstance reveals a very dishonour able be responsible for our laws, and over money laws they have no voice. In general, men of sense and spirit will not take the responsibility of measures they are not allowed to guide, so it bas come about that the two maxims, "the King can do no, wrong", and " the Ministers are re sponsible for the acts of the Government," intended to secure impunity for Royalty, have denuded it of its power. Our Kings could latterly obtain no Ministers who did not insist on guiding the measures for which they might answer with their heads, and thus the responsible Ministers have become, in fact the Sovereigns of the country. In relation to the Commons, the Lords take a different view, and humbly affix their sanction to all the Money Bills sent up by that House, which they must not alter, what ever enormities they may ordain. The Sugar Duties Bill, when it goes up to the Lords, as go up it will, is a case in point. It will ordain that on all sugar, not being refined, a prohibitory duty of 3s. per cwt. shall be levied. We say, emphatically, prohibitory, for, with one single exception, in the year 1840,—when that duty was, we believe, paid on a very small quantity,—on no sugar has that duty ever been paid. The plain and palpable design of such a law is to prohibit the importation, 'into England, and of coarse the consumption of sugar. Our wise House of Commons has wished to keep down the consumption of o that article, and in consequence to stifle all the trade - which would arise from purchasing and importing sugar , and all the enjoyment which might arise from its use. To this most mischievous object the boasting and proud British Peers are obliged, by the power of the House of commons, to lend the sanction of their exalted charac ters. Under the name of a tax they are compelled to give their sanction to one of the most injurious prohi bitory laws that was ever enacted. 'But there is an exception to this prohibition. If the sugar bo the growth of any British plantation in America, or within the limits of the East India Company's charter, then tho duty shall be 245. per cwt. The House of Commons relaxes the pro hibition, therefore, in favour of the growers of sugar in our colonies, but levies on their produce, a duty—which the consumer of sugar pays—of 245. per cwt. for the use of the State. The House will permit the importation and consumption of sugar on the Payment of 245. per cwt. provided that sugar be grown in some of the dominions or dependencies of the British Crown. Sir R. PEEL, Mr. GLADSTONE, and the Other pre tended friends of humanity, haw defended the continu ance of the prohibition because it was a check to slavery and the slave trade, but it was enacted, while our on n colonies, whence sugar may be imported on the payment of 245., were slave holders and were carrying on the slave trade. The spirit and intention of Cie law, there fore, whatever by a change of circumstances may be its supposed present Operation, were not to discourage sla very, hut to put an end to all trade in sugar between England and countries not under the dominion of Eng land. It is usual to estimate the effects of the law, and we have ourselves heretofore gone on that principle, by taking the difference between the price of foreign sugar in bond, and the price of sugar grown i n the British dominions, multiplying that difference • by the whole quantity actually consumed, and then stating that the quotient is the sum lost to the public. Thus, ' assuming the annual consumption to be 4,000,000 cwts., the price of British sugar in bond to be 255., and the price of foreign sugar to be 455., the loss to the public will be 4,000,000/. a year. The sum varies every year with the price of sugair, and the quantity con sumed; but that is a rough estimate of the annual loss to the people by the discriminating or differential duty. But whenever we see that this is a prohibitory law in tended, too, to be prohibitory, we are immediately made sensible that this annual loss, great though it be, is only _ __________ a small portion of the loss actually caused by the law. - ROYAL DISPENSAR Y FOR DISEASE; OF THE EAR, To what extent the consumption of sugar wou ld go DEAN-STREET, SOUO-SQUARE.—At the twenty-sixth annual *ere there no such barbarous prohibitory law, it is im- General Meeting of the ea Governors and friends of this Insti ?,Za a l ppe ß a ig r i:r d iess the Duke possible to say.

That there are now standing untenanted not less than 3,000 dwelling-houses, besides mills, warehouses, and public. houses. That in one township alone, viz., Heaton Norris, there are 3,500 houses, out of which there are untenanted about 700 ; there are also nearly 800 compounded for, and 1,000 excused from paying rates on the ground or their being too poor, so that the burden of paying the rates falls on no more Than 1,000 persons, many of these persons being in as bud, and in some instances a worse condition than the paupers themselves. That in February last, there was collected within a few weeks, by some generous and humane individuals, the sum of 5,0001. for the relief of the suffering poor. That in the week ending 19th February, 1841, the number of families relieved was 3,473 ; the number of individuals, 14,424 ; the average income per head being 9d. 9-10ths. That owing to the loss of wages consequent upon the stopping of mills, the reduction in the rate of wages by lost time, by reduced number of hands, and the other causes, the total loss to the inhabitants of the borough is 5,4831. per week. The cottage and messuage property has depreciated in value, in some instances, as much as 130 per cent., and the average may be fltirly taken at 75 percent. That there are now walking the streets, for want of employment, no less • than 5,000 persons, who are suffer ing the extreme of human misery and privations of the most alarming nature ; therefore we, your memorialists, respectfully call your attention to these facts, and trust that steps will be immediately taken to relieve the un paralleled distress existing in this borough, and your memorialists will, as in duty bound, pray, &c.

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. On Saturday, the first match for the season, by the boats of this Club, was appointed to come off, and, as usual, the Royal Sovereign steamer was in attendance at the Ade laide-wharf, London-bridge, at one o'clock in the morn ing, to convey the Commodore (Mr. Harrison), the umpires, members of the Club, and company, &c., to view the struggle. The Royal Sovereign left her station about half-past ten, and went down the river to Ham mersmith, having on board a numerous party of ladies and gentlemen, a band of music, and all the appliances for an agreeable day. On arriving at Greenwich the prizes, three in number, viz., a silver tea service, a silver salver, and a silver chased claret jug, were taken on shore, to afford Admi ra l th e Hon. Sir R. Stopford, Go vernor of the Hospital, and Vice-Patron of the Club, an opportunity of seeing them. Sir R. Stopford expressed his gratification on seeing them, and the Commodore and his party immediately returned with them on board the steamer, and gave orders for preparations to be made to commence the match. The wind was at the time in the west, but there was hardly breath enough to keep the sails from flapping against the masts and the rigging ; and though the day was beautifully fine, it was most un fit for testing the sailing powers of the yachts entered to start. The start took place, on firing the signal gun, at ten minutes before twelve, and the Mary took the lead, fol lowed by the Phantom, Rival, Mystery, Spray, Lady Louise, Brilliant, and Sea Nymph. It was expected that the wind would freshen as the vessels got down the river, but this expectation was completely dissipated. When the match arrived in Woolwich Reach, the wind fell, and it was a dead calm, the vessels merely floated with the tide ; and it was foreseen that the match would not be brought to an issue that day—one of the regula tions of the Club requiring that the flag-boat or buoy at Coal-house-point, about two miles below Gravesend, should be rounded by five o'clock, or the match sailed over again. The wind freshened for a short time about four o'clock, but at five the yachts ware only as low as Erith, and, in consequence„ the steamer was put about, and she and the eight yachts made the best of their way back to Greenwich, off which they arrived about half past seven o'clock. Such was the state of the wind, that it is difficult to say what were the powers of sailing of any of the yachts engaged. The ma t c h w ill b e stultd for, it was understood, in the course of a fortnight. A Montpellier journal says that the railroad train which left that station in the evening of the 26th ult., had reached within sight of Cctte when the axlettee of the hind wheels of the four-wheel engine, the Rosinc, by which it was drawn, brake and diverged from the rail, which it damaged. It made its way along the ground to a distance of between 60 and 70 yards before it stopped. The waggons were thus far kept in motion, but neither of them wert off the rails. They were not in any degree injured, and the passengers did not sustain any other inconvenience than ha►ing a short dis tance to walk into Cette. Upon this the journal remarks that it is the third accident of the same kind which has happened within the present' year without producing any serious con sequences, and adduces it as a proof that the safety of pas sengers is not put to any risk when the trains are drawn by only one locomotive. CHARD CANAL.—We last week stated that the navigation from Creech to the Chard basin was opened on Tuesday se'nnight. Nothing of form or public ceremony was observed on the occasion ; nevertheless the event must be viewed as important, since it will prove extensively beneficial to the towns of Chard, Crewkerne, Axminster, Beaminster, Honiton, Colyton, Lyme, and the circumjacent villages, by affording them increased facilities of traffic with Bridgwater, Bristol, Gloucester, Liverpool, and all the ports on that coast. —Sherborne Journal. The annual distribution of medals, given by the King to the adult pupils of the communal schools of design in l'aris, took place on Sunday last, at twelve, in the large school room of the Halle aux Draps.—M. Boulay (de la Meurthe), in the absence of the Prefect of the Seine, took the chair.— These schools, which are intended solely for the working classes, were founded and directed by M. and Madame Charles, and are three in number, containing 800 pupils. A. great number of persons were present at the distribution, and the proceedings were enlivened by the music of a military band. l'he Chairman and M.

The Earl of Ranfurly arrived in London this morn ing from Ostend by the General Steam Navigation Company's British steam-ship, Sir Edward Banks. His Lordship left Ostend at a quarter past seven last evening, and landed at London Bridge-wharf a quarter before nine, the passage having been performed in thirteen hours and a half, notwithstanding being obliged to go only half speed for want of daylight. THE GLASGOW BANK ROBBERY.—It is generally believed that, since his conviction, Smith has made a full con fet,ion of the manner in which th e money a b strac t e d f rot h the Bank was appropriated. It would be improper, at present, to allude further to the rumours that are afloat on this subject ; but it is to be hoped that a clue has been obtained by which at least a portion of the money will be recovered. It seems altogether improbable that Smith could, in so short a ,time, have spent the large sum of 10,000,., and the inference there- . fore is; that a part- of. it has been invested in some ;Ay or other.— Glasgow Argus.

THE SUN, LONDON, - MONDA. Y EIVENING, JUNE 6, 1842. HIGH LIFE BELOW STAIRS. A gentleman of fortune, residing in the : neighbourhood of I Hampstead, and who forsome time past has been sojourning at a distant part of the country, returned unexpectedly to his house at Hampstead on. Thursday evening last, and on arriving at his residence was surprised at perceiving lights issuing from the windows of his best apartments, whilst shouts of merriment, mixed with the musical sounds of a harp and other instru. ments, broke from the interior of the rcansion. Mr. -at first conjectured that he must have made a mistake, and that he had in a temporary absence of mind wandered to the residence of a neighbour. But no, to relieie his doubts, Sancho the yard dog came bounding towards him.. He was at home, and feeling curious as to the cause of all this revelry, the house having been, left solely to the care of the servants, he cautiously made his way into the premises through a back entrance, and succeeded in gaining a balcony extend ing round the windows of the first floor, whence he could command a view of the interior of the draw ing•room, when, to his surprise, he beheld a scene that completely bewildered him. A numerous party was as sembled, dressed in every variety of costume, representing a motley crowd of Jews, gipseys Turks, sultanas, sailors, sol diers, &c., all commingled together in chaotic confusion, and playing off the most practical jokes imaginable on each other. On perceiving these strange visitors located within his habita tion, the gentleman conceived that soma friend or neighbour had " borrowed" his rooms on an emergency for a fancy dress ball ; and he was 'on the point of retiring from the spot to make inquiries of the servants, when, 10, could he be lieve his eyesight? bedecked in the costume of a grand Turk, with a luxuriant display of beard, that m:ght have excited the envy of a bona fide bashaw, forth stalked from amongst the crowd in the back drawing-room no less a personage than Sam, his under footman, leading daintily by the " blush ing fingers" Sally and Susannah, the bete de cuisine and femme de mansion of his establishment, both ladies attired after a fashion that would have puzzled the united conclave of antiquarian dames throughout the entire kingdom to have defined. The appearance of Sam and his smirking " hand maids" at once elucidated the mystery. Mr. - sprang through the open window into the room, when a scene ensued that beggars description. The magic word " Master !" never produced greater consternation amongst a set of urchins en gaged in the revel of a school-room riot, than did that excla mation from the united voices of Sam, Sally, and Susannah produce on the motley set assembled in the drawing-room aforesaid. Sauce qui ,peut was the order of the night. A rush was made for the doors. The crowd, in their eagerness to escape, blocked up the head of the staircase, and the efforts of those in the rear threw the foremost of the group off their legs. The mass gave way, and Jews, gipseys, and Turks, sultanas, sailors, soldie rs , c u m multis tails, rolled headlong down the stairs, amidst the screams of the women and the frantic struggles of the men. The intruders were bundled out of the house sans ceremonie, to seek their respective do miciles as best they might, and the servants employed in the establishment received notice to quit forthwith. A porter on one of the quays, a short time ago, says the Presse, found a pocket-book containing notes to the amount of 20,000 f. Having ascertained that it belonged to a Count, he immediately rendered the whole to him intact. The noble owner rewarded this strong proof of honesty by immediately taking upon himself the education and placing out in the world the man's two children, and presenting to the father a natorial act insuring to him and his wife an annuity of 750 f. fer their lives, and at the same time giving him one quarter's payment in advance. The Supreme Court in Paris decided two days since the question, whether the sale of a painting by the artist, without any condition or reserve, conveyed to the purchaser the exclusive right of taking and publishing an engraving of it. The question arose out of the picture of the " Battle of the Pyramids," painted by Baron Gros in 1809, by order of the Imperial Government. The Court decided that the entire property of the picture passes with it on sale, and the consequent right to make and publish engravings from it, unless there be in the contract or bill of sale any express reserve or stipulation to the contrary. A whole family,' of the name of Chevillot, the fa ther, the mother, and the two sons, were brought before the Court of Assizes a few days ago, for having; stolen wine from the depot at Bercy. For some time past it had been perceived that the casks were pierced and wine taken out. Sometimes even the thieves did not take the trouble of stopping the hole, so that the liquor continued to run out until it was all lost. The wine-brokers at last arranged a regular nightly watch, and the accused were caught in the act of taking the wine. The woman was recognised as an old offender, and was sentenced to five years' imprisonment ; the father and one of the sons to two years' confinement ; and the other, a lad of 16, to two years' residence in the House of Correction. On November Ist, last year, a coal-heaver and his wife were assaulted by men as they were returning home in the evening. Busse, the husband, made a stout defence, in which he was joined by two masons, Chambon and Bagot, who came accidentally up at the time. The assailants upon this drew knives, and wounded the two masons so severely, that they both died a few days afterwards. Of the five assas sins, one only, Ginocchio, an Italian itinerant player upon the barrel-organ, was taken and recognised. He was brought to trial on Saturday, but as there was no proof of his having used a knife, he was sentenced to only two years' imprisonment. A travelling tinman took up his station a few days back close to a guard-house in the Rue Notre-Dame-de-Lo retie. In his melting-pot, which was placed on a brisk fire, the metal was in fusion, and the man took several forks which had been brought to him from a neighbouring house, and plunged them into the bailing metal. A loud explosion instantly ensued, the melting-pot flew into pieces, a fragment of it took off the shako of the sentinel, and the unfortunate tinman was covered with the burning metal. Immediate aid was afforded him, and it is thought that he will get off with a few scars on his face. The explosion was caused by some moisture which happened to be on the spoons when plunged into the metal in fusion. CHARTIST CAMP MEETINGS.—On Sunday last there was another very large meeting held on Enfield Moor, near Blackburn, to consider the next steps to be taken, in order to obtain the People's Charter. Mliny persons present are said to have had fire-arms. A person named Marsden, from Bolton, one named Tattersall, and others, addressed the people in ex • tremely violent language. Marsden declared that they all meant to obtain arms, march up to Buckingham Palace, and demand the Charter. If the Queen granted it, well ; but, if not, they would know how to use their arms; and he hoped every man wonld get ready by their next meeting. Tattersall was even more violent than the above. On the same day, there was also a camp held near Failsworth ; about 1,500 persons at tended. Leech and another man from Manchester, with se veral persons from Oldham, addressed the audience; but the language was mild compared with that of the speakers near Blackburn ; some of the speakers contended that they had as good a right to hold political camp meetings on a Sunday, as ether parties had to hold religious meetings.—M anchester Guardian WINE AND WHEY.—Some twelve miles from the town of Ulverston is a small parish church, near to Broughton West, or perhaps nearer to Woodland, in the parish of Kirkby Ireleth. Attached to that church are a parson, a clerk, and a churchwarden: The latter pillar left his habitation lately, on a visit to Kirkby, for the purpose of procuring a quantum svg: of wine for the sacrament to be administered on the following Sunday. The wine procured, the warden, with one or two friends, entered the public-house to moisten their clay, and while there they drank pretty freely—in fact until they were in the predicament which has become proverbial as the habitat of David's sow. They then sung songs and told stories till " all was blue," and finally they broached and drank the "wine." Our hero, it is said, was even graceless enough to boast of the deed he had done, and to exclaim, " Oh, 'twould make na dif ference, for thear would be nabody but his wife rind parson and Clark to tak' sacrament; sea he would just tak 'em a sup of whey instead of stronger liquor." The fact needs no comment. —Kendal Mercury. We hear that it is intended to alter altogether the uniform of the deputy-lieutenants of counties. Any person at tending her Majesty's levees must have been struck with the very unsoldier-like gait of a vast proportion of those gentle men who presented themselves in military uniform. To pre vent further continuance of the mistake so often made, not only here but at foreign Courts, as to the identity of those gen tlemen with the officers of the British army, a new non-military uniform is to be worn by them. This uniform is to consist of a blue coat, the collar and cuffs of which are to be braided with silver lace, but to be without epaulettes.— Observer. FIRE AT THE EAGLE TAVERN, CITY-ROAD.—Yes terday morning, about half-past three o'clock, a fire was dis covered to be raging at the Eagle Tavern, City-road, well known as the Grecian Saloon. Fortunately, by the speedy arrival of the engines, and the active exrrtions of the firemen, the flames were confined to that portion of the building in which the fire originated. It was used as a fire-work-room, and was entirely brunt out. The damage done amounts to about 1501. Mr. Rouse. the spirited proprietor, is insured in the Liccnced Victualler's Office. A fire broke out last week, in the hamlet of Terre- Rouge, near Briancon, at eleven in the morning, whilst all the inhaLitants were absent in the mountains. Notwith,tanding aid was brought from Briancon, thirty-three habi'ations, which composed the entire hamlet, were destroyed. MORTALITY AT ITAMPSTEAD.—Disease in a most virulent form has made its appearance lately in a family at Haverstock-hill, Hampstead. The son of a nurseryman at Hampstead was first visited by a medical man on the 18th of May : he was labouring under symptoms denoting scarlet fever, and died on the same day. The eldest daughter was next attacked, and on the return of the party from the burial of the eldest son, she was found , (teat!, and two other children were in a dying condition. Bttween Wednesday and Saturday, four members of this devoted family perished ; two were rtmoved to an hospital, and another daughter (the wife of a publican at Woolwich), who had visited her sick relatives, was taken home ill. Situated nearly in front, and within ten or twelve feet from the door of the cottage where this fearful mortality occurred, is a stagnant pool, whence water had been taken for the purpose of irrigating the nursery-ground, and the highway tank communicating with this pool was furnished with a pump. The tank and pool ap pear to be supplied with water frim the surface drainage of the road ; hence, after a heavy fall of rain, the filth from the road and houses on the higher ground has been washed into this reservoir. This nuisance has existed during- 17 or 18 years, and has frequently been complained of ; yet it still remains. ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY.—The ordinary meeting was held on Saturday. The Right Hon. Lord Fitzgerald and Vesei, President, in the chair. On the proposal of Sir Alexander Johnson, seconded by Sir George Staunton, Baronet, M. P., his Highness the Rajah of Travancore was elected an Honorary Member, on account of the great en. couragement which he had given to science throughout his dominions, and particularly for his having employed Brahmins to note down the variations of the pendulum, and o t t r make other astronomical observations. Three interesting were Southern e f r r n om resources iripers of from the Himalayah mountains. Although extremely rich in mineral resources, none of the mines had been worked to any India, Captain one 1N f iewb ld, which on describedhe mineral the rich auriferous deposits coming down with th e s t reams advant a ge hitherto, on account of the expense attending ir, and the comparative cheapness with which the metals may he ob ta.ned from Europe. In connection with this subject, it was stated by Professor Wilson, that a Cornish mir.er had recently been sent out to investigate the practicability and probable profit of working them. Sir Thomas Baring, Bart., and David Salomons, Esq., were proposed as members, and amongst the company, which was numerous, were Sir George Staunton, Bart., M.P., Sir Alexander Johnstone, Sir E. Colebrook e , ' Bart. General Sir Gore Ouseley, Sir H. Compton, the Right Hon. Holt Mackenzie, and several other leading members. METROPOLITAN DEPUTIES OF THE PROTESTANT DISSENTERS OF THE THREE DENOMINATIONS.—At a meet ing of this body, held June Ist, at the King's Head Tavern, in the Poultry, loyal and dutiful addresses to the Queen and her. Illustrious C onsort upol her Majesty's merciful pre serva ti on ' from th e recent traitorous attempt, were unanimously agreed upon. The meeting had been called for the purpose of consi dering the propriety of petitioning Parliament for the abolition of Church -rates, with reference to the Ecclesiastical Corpora tions Leasing Bill now before the House of Commons ; and also against certain regulations of the Poor-law Commissioners restricting the religious rights of Dissenting inmates of work houses, and insisting upon the appointment of stipendiary chap lains. Petitions to this effect were subsequently agreed upon. London now measures M miles in length from east to west, by a breadth of nine miles from north to south. Its circumference, allowing for various inequalities, is estimated at thirty miles, while the area of ground it covers is considered to measure no less than 18 miles square, TO THE PROPRIETORS OF EAST INDIA STOCK.

CHINA AND INDIA, By the Overland Mail front India we have received letters, papers, and advices front Bombay of the 4th of May, Madras of the 13th of April, Calcutta of the 21st, Caubul of the 12th, Candahar of the sth, Lahore of the 10th, and from Delhi of the 30th of the same month ; also front Chusan of the 3d of March, from Macao of the 6th, and from Burmah of the 30th of that month. Of this mass of intelligence the news from Affghanis tan only is of paramount importance. Since the date of the accounts brought by :the last Overland Mail, our arms have sustained two reverses, and achieved an equal number of triumphs in Affghanistan. The first and most important of our reverses is the surrender of the fortress of Ghuznee by Colonel PALMER on the Ist of March, and the supposed slaughter of the garrison by the Ghazees tribe as soon as they had marched out of the city. COI. PALMER was aware of the murder of Sir Wm. M'ICAonTEN, the seizure of General ELPHINSTONE, and the destruction of the Bri tish army at Caubul ; and yet, with an inconsistency for which we find it impossible to account, he stipulated that his small force should be conducted to a city the inhabitants of which were madly drunk with the blood of nearly ten thousand of his countrymen ! When the garrison surrendered, Colonel PALMER states than he had but 300 men ; of whom 100 were wounded ; that he had not more water than would have supplied him forty-eight hours, and that, to escape massacre, no other course was left him. As if apprehensive that all this would not form a sufficient justification, he adds that General EL muNsToNE had ordered him to abandon the cita del. This is very extraordinary, and reflects no credit either upon ELPHINSTONE Or PALMER. That under the influence of fear General ELPHINSTONE, when a prisoner in the hands of the Affghans, should order Colonel PALMER to evacuate so strong a fortress as that of Ghuznee, is not more surprising than that Colonel PALMER should pretend to pay the slightest regard to it. The whole affair appeared to the Go vernor-General so suspicious that he had directed a court-martial, to inquire into the conduct of both officers, and also into that of the political chiefs in connection with the destruction of the army at Caubul. The second reverse is trifling and temporary, save that it has cost the country the, life of two brave officers— Captain HAY and Major ABTHORPE. General ENGLAND was repulsed in attempting to force the Kojuck Pass, and retired to Quetta to await the arrival of re-in forcements. There was no doubt that his second attempt would be successful, as he had difficulty in re straining the valour of his men who called loudly to be led a second time to the charge. We now come to the really bright side of the picture, and gloriously bright it is. The gallant General SALE, besieged in Jellalabad by AKRBAR KHAN, at the head of 6,000 Affghans, being apprehensive that AEHBAR was about to raise the siege to attack General Pou.ocx in the Khyber Pass, made a sortie, in which he com pletely routed the Affghans, burned their camp, seized all their stores and ammunition, and recovered four of the British guns taken at the Caubul massacre. The victory cost this country the life of one of the bravest and best officers in India, Colonel DENNIE. In a style equally gallant and daring General Pen, LOCK forced the Khyber Pass on the sth of April. Lieu tenant CUMMING, a promising young officer, was here killed. There was not the least doubt entertained of the junction of the forces under Generals SALE and Por.- Loci( being safely effected. Lord ELLENBOURGII was commencing a course of vigorous operation. Accompanied by his Secretaries he had proceeded to the Upper Provinces of Bengal to be nearer to the grand scene of action. It is much re gretted that Lord ELLENBOBOUGII did not pro ceed by the Overland route to India, by which means he would have arrived in Bombay al- most simultaneously with the breaking out of the insurrection in Caubul. The news of the murder of the SHALT SOOJAH, by his own people, was confirmed. More welcome intelligence could hardly reach the new Governor-General. It rids him of that worst of all in cumbrances—a treacherous ally. G reat complaints are made of the paucity of officers in active service in India. One Journal states that there were not two to each company. This is a great evil, and unless speedily remedied, may prove the destruction of thousands of our men. The war in Affglianistan has already demonstrated that no men fight better than our Sepoys, when well officered. But without an abundance of officers to lead and encourage the men in battle,' and to inspire them with enthusiasm for the honour of their flak, no army can be expected to fight well. From China the news is of no importance. We give " Celestial" Proclamation against the "red-bristled bar barians," which only served to amuse the Plenipoten tiary. The forts along the Canton river were nearly finished, and part of them had been unmasked. A Proclamation had been issued by Sir H. POTTINGER, in which it is declared that Hong-Kong and Chusan will remain in the possession of England till our demands are complied with by the EmPEnott ; and that they :shall . be considered free ports, equally open to . the ships of all nations. The Chinese in habitants are invited to return and reside under British protection. Amoy is also to remain a free port in our possession for the present. Sufficient warning is to be given, to permit all property to be removed from it should it afterwards be resolved upon to restore it to China. One of the stipulations to be in sisted on before these possessions be returned, is perfect immunity from punishment for the natives who may. have thrown themselves on our protec tion during existing troubles. The forces with the Ex pedition were in excellent health. The Head Quarters of the General Stair was at Ningpo. It was understood that the naval and military commanders to the north ward were authorised by the Plenipotentiary to act, in case of emergency, according to the best of their dis cretion. The Bengal Volunteers had embarked for Cal cutta ; the 37th Madras Native Infantry were just about to return to India ; the English troops were ready to, land and be housed in barracks at Hong-Hong. The Bombay Journals complain of Sir H. POTTINGER'S in action. We suppose he is merely waiting for reinforce ments from England. The French Journals received this morning contain but little news of interest. We give the following ex- ,racts frora them : Yes!prday we noticed an absurd paragraph about an Eng lish squadron sailing to occupy the Regency of Tripoli; and, to-day, we find the following letter, if pos,ible still more ridi culous : _ _ " A letter from Toulon, May 30, says :—' According to in formation derived from the beat sources, we have every reason to believe that the American squadron in the Mediterraneon is at present in Morocco, and it appears certalt that instructions were lately forwarded to the little French squadron commanded by . M. Tarpin, relative to the attitude which it was to assume verth respect to the American squadron.'" The Journal de Smyrne of the 1911, ult., says:—" The French brig La Fleche has just returned into harbour from the coast of Greece. She conhrms the account of the attack by pirates upon the Petit Matelot, and states that no similar at tempt has been made." The birthday of Queen Victoria was celebrated at Vienna by a splendid banquet given by the British Ambassador to the Grand Dignitaries of the Court and State, and the Corps Diplo matique. A letter from Tours states that a company of foreign bankers has made offers to the Government to undertake the execution of the railroad between Orleans and Nantes.— Go/ignani's Messenger. The Journal de Srryrne announces that serious disturbances took place at Ainatz, on the 4th and sth of May. Ibrahim Bey had caused six of the Primates of the ccuntry to be treache rously arrested ; on this the people rose, besieged Ibrahim in his palace. and obliged him to set the Primates at liberty. In this affray nine Turks and three of the rioters were wounded. The latter assembled next day to form a sort of popular Government ; they have also made purchases of powder and ball, with the intention of resisting the trcops which may be shortly expected from Constantinople. The Fleche French brig, which arrived at Smyrna on the 18th. brought arrivals from Arivali of the 12th :—'• Outward tranquillity," says the Journal de Smyrne, " prevailed in that place ; it is, however, evident from the irritation of the people's minds, that it is requisite for the Porte to adopt speedy and energetic measures. The appearance of the Fleche had an excellent effect at Arivali."— Commerce. fu U 1 AT Ull DAY, JUNE 4. First Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Priv..

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The general tone of the Money Market does not appear to be improved, neither has the feeling of uneasiness which has pervaded it during the last few days subsided. Some apprehension Lis felt that the circumstances which have obliged the Spanish Ministry to resign. may have a serious effect on its political relations with other countries. Meanwhile business is going on, in the most limited scale, and prices remain nearly as on Saturday, although the Bank hroker has purchased about 100,0001. Re duced.

It will be seen that speculators for a fall in Spanish have partially succeeded in their object ; and the folly of dealing in these and other similar documents will thus be clearly per ceived. Opportunities have been frequently taken in this paper of pointing out the real nature of the transactions usually going forward in them, and, although the most solemn assur ances have been given that the dividend promised in July was actually provided for, yet a fall of nearly four per cent. has taken place, consequent upon a change of Ministry. If the assertion were true, this event could not affect the prospect of the holders; if not, the quotation now is far above what it should be, and the correctness of the news which have from time to time been put forth is proved. The mercantile accounts by private letters from India are generally more discouraging than those 'by the last mail would have led us to expect; and both at Bombay and Calcutta European piece goods are now in less demand, with lower prices. The heavy stocks are doubtless a principal cause of this stagnation, but the state of the Money Market, consequent upon the expellees of the war in the North, has greatly added to commercial embarrassments. From Calcutta it is stated that business was nearly at a stand, and that public confidence was greatly shaken ; while at Bombay the exchange on London had fallen to 2s. lid. per rupee for six months' bills, and 2a. 04d. for those at three months ; and Gold had declined to 10, 5 per pound sterling. The intelligence from China is not more encouraging; trade being carried on solely by barter, and the Chinese having al ready abundant supplies of imports on hand, do not appear de sirous to part with their commodities, which they know we must. have, except upon terms very advantageous to themselves. The step of proclaiming Hong- Kong, Unman, and Amoy free ports, is; looked upon as extremely judicious, and is expected, in the course of a short interval, to place our trade with China upon a substantial basis. The intelli gence received from China for several months past has always represented the natives as far more disposed to place themselves under the protection of the English au thorities than to remain under their own Govern ment, and this view appears to be fully confirmed by letters received by the present mail. If such be really the fact, it may be expected that a regular supply of tea, and other produee, will then be obtained. The total quantity of tea shipped to England and Ireland, between the commencement of July, last year, and the 20th of February, in the present year, is given at 26,405,788 lbs. The official returns, made up to the 31st of May, state the de liveries of tea, for the tirst five months of the present year, to hare been 14,357,000 lbs., and for the like period of 1841, at 14,628,000 lbs. ; the stock at present at 33,175,000 lbs., and in 1841 at 28,820,000 lbs.

BANK OF ENGLAND--(THIS DAY A Special General Court of Propri e'ors was held this day at the Bank of England, for the purpose of considering Ad dresses to her Majesty and Prince Albert, on the providential protection of her Majesty against the treasonable attempt upon her life. The Governor, Deputy-Governor, and Directors, entered the Court-room at twelve o'clock ; and the minutes of the last meeting having been read, The GOVERNOR ( W. Cotton, Esq. ) stated that the Proprietors had been summoned together that day in consequence of the atrocious attempt that had been made on the life of the Queen. He could not propose the Address to her Majesty without de ploring that, within the short space of two years the Proprietors had been twice called upon to address her Majesty with respect to atrocious attempts upon her life. In June, 1840, that Court had assembled, for the purpose of congratulating Her Majesty on her escape, by the merciful interposition of Divine Provi dence, from the hands of the assassin, and now they were called upon again to express their attachment to the Queen, and their abhorrence of I he atrocious attempt which had been made upon her life, With regard to the atrocious act, he would say no more, as the treasonable perpetrator of it would shortly be brought to trial, but he con d not help observing, that it was a most lamentable fact, and a disgrace to Englishmen, that their young and beloved Queen, whose every wish and thought was to do all she could for the benefit of her people, could not enjoy her hours of recreation, without the Land of the assassin being held up against her.—( Hear.) It was however, gratifying to find when such treasonable attempts were made, that the people of England came forward as one man to express their horror and indignation at such attempts, and to congratulate their beloved Queen on her provid ent i a l escape.—( Hear, hear.) If it was possible to do so, her Majesty had endeared herself doubly to the nation by the heroic for titude she had adopted since the occurrence took place, and for the firmness she had evinced._(Loud cheers.) He was sure every Proprietor would feel happy in supporting the Address which he would move the adoption of without further com ment. The worthy Governor then moved the following Address to her Majesty : " To the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty. "May it please your Majesty— " We, the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, in general Court assembled, beg leave humbly to approach your Majesty, and to express our deep abhorrence of the treasonable and atrocious attempts against your Majesty's life. " In common with all your Majesty's loyal and devoted sub jects, we acknowledge, with sincere gratitude, the interposition of Divine Providence in shielding fi ore danger the sacred per son of your Majesty ; and, we heartily join in the fervent prayer expressed by a grateful people, that your Majesty may, by God's blessing, be preserved long to reign over this great and favoured nation." Mr. CooKE seconded the adoption of the Address, which was unanimou,ly agreed to, after a few observations from Mr. Young and Mr. Fielder. The following Address to Prince Albert was also agreed to, Illicit the motion of the GOVERNOR, seconded by Mr. TWIN ING :- .6 To his Royal Highness Field-Marshal Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg and Gotha. " May it please your Royal Highness,—We, the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, in General Court as sembled, respectfully approach your Royal Highness, and de sire to express our just abhorrence of the late treasonable and atrocious attempts against the life of our revered Sovereign. " We acknowled ge , with sincere gratitude, the good pro vidence of God in the preservation of our beloved Queen from the danger to which her Majesty has been exposed. " We congratulate your Royal Highness, and this highly favoured nation, on this signal blessing, and we desire to join in that prayer so universally expressed, that oar gracious Queen may long be preserved to promote the happiness and welfare of a grateful people." On the motion ol the GOVERNOR i seconded by Mr. - Sri' cirzY, the banker o f B r i sto l, i t was res olved—" That the Governor and Deputy-Governor should communicate with Sir James Graham for the purpose of ascertaining when it would be the pleasure of her Majesty to receive the Address." Thu ()pun then broke up. _ `r SUMMARY OF NE AND Pitbitt 4,9 p tut on. " Who runs may read." FOG.
