The pupils in this Establishment are led to feel an interest in learn ing, its utility being recommended by kind treatment ; the constant fear of correction, which is the principal cause of so many youths disappointing the expectations of their parents, is thereby avoided. The domestic arrangements are conducted by the Preceptor's wife, whose whole time is occupied in con tributing to the happiness and welfare of those under her care, and every solicitude is manifested to combine scholastic advan tages with the comforts of home. The situation is healthy, and the sleeping apartments, school-rooms, play-rooms, &c., are large and well ventilated. The play anti pleasure grounds are very extensive and convenient, having been fitted up with apparatus for gymnastic, manual, and drilling exercises, bath ing, &c., which are at all times superintended by a master, and materially add to the amusement and health of the pupils. Pupils may be removed at any time without previous notice. A prospectus will be sent in answer to letters, post paid, to D.

Mr. Wire, on the other hand, contended that Mr. Bianchi was bound to have made known that he was the bearer of dispatches, in which case he would have bean entitled to have them placed under the especial care of the Company's servants, and would himself have received every possible facility in landing and clearing his baggage, and at the time said he was prepared to prove that the charge was invariably made in similar cases by all the steam-packet Companies, and paid without hesitation. Mr. Wire supported his views of the case by strongly arguing on the grounds he advanced at the Mansion -house. The Commissioners, however, were of opinion that it was not necessary to go in to the evidence alluded to, as there could be no doubt about the propriety of the charge in cases where parties made known their official character, and received in consequence the extra accommodation which had been referred to; but they were unanimously of opini on that the charge could not be made upon persons who chose to travel as ordinary pa s s engers, although they might be the bearers of dispat c h es , or, in such cases, they would be paying for services they never received; and they alto gether repudiated the idea that individuals were bound to disclose their official character, or that the Com pany bad any ground for complaint if they did not choose to make disclosures of the kind. The Com missioners, therefore, decided that the two guineas had been improperly claimed from Mr. Bianchi, and made an order directing the repayment of the money to that gentleman. It appeared that about three months ago Ireland was called in to a public-house to take a man into custody. As he was taking the man the prisoner came behind him and struck him a violent blow on the head with a stone, which knocked him down and stunned him. The other policeman came up, and the pair struck him on the head and escaped. They did not see him again till last night, when he was taken into custody. The prisoner, in his defence, said that he had been playing at skittles with the man who was being taken `into custody, and the man refused to pay for what he lost, in trying to strike him he struck the officer. The officer said they had heard that the man had lately obtained some work, and they did not wish to press the charge against the prisoner. The prisoner expressed his sorrow at what had occurred, and said if he should be committed to prison he should lose his work. Mr. Alderman HOOPER said he would do all in his power to protect the police when they used temper and discretion, and he thought they had done so in the present case; but as they wished not to press the charge he would only fine the prisoner ss. BOW-S 7 BEET. A man named Carter, who was till lately a collect ing clerk in the employ of Messrs. Newington, San ders, and Co., the extensive china, glass, and earthen ware manufacturers, of Holborn ' was charged with receiving money on account of his employers, for which he had not accounted. A great number of witnesses were called, and several cases of small amount were proved against the prisoner. On the representation of Mr. Sanders, however, that there were other cases against the pri soner, involving, it was suspected, some hundreds of pounds, Mr. Hall remanded him till this day fortnight. MA RYLEBoNE. severely reprimanded him, taking the number of hi s badge and of his omnibus, and saying he hoped that the witness would not answer in the same way at the Old Bailey, for if he did, he might depend upon it he would be sent to Newgate. Inspector Thatcher informed the Magistrate that this was all the evidence he was at present prepared with, and requested a remand to a future day, which was acceded to. Admission. Is.

SURREY SESSIONS. 11 7 :n. Lewis was yesterday placed at the bar, on a charge of having stolen two coats, two pair of trousers, three waistcoats, and other articles, the property of Richard Cafe. John Smith, apparently a tradesman, was charged on the sheet with intent to commit a felony. Richard Leighton was coming down Albany-street last night, between twelve and one o'clock, when he saw the prisoner breaking in the fan-light above the door of No. 90. He gave the alarm to a constable, and the prisoner was taken into custody. Prisoner, in defence, stated that he had been for some time past walking about the streets in a state of starvation, and at last had come to the resolution of committing the above offence, with a view to getting sent to prison. Mr. LONG expressed his sympathy, but was obliged to commit him for trial. J. Watts was committed for trial for stealing a square, the property of Mr. Wills, pawnbroker, 14, Adam's row, Hampstead -road. Prisoner made no defence. Charles Newberry, an elderly man, respectably connected, was brought up before Mr. LONG, on a charge of felony. It appears that yesterday morning he had called at the shop of Miss Forsyth, haber dasher, John-street, Edgeware-road, for the purpose of selecting di&retit ribbons for rosettes, and after se lecting what he wanted and paying for them, Miss For syth, whose suspicions had been aroused by defendant's manner taxed him with the theft, when he threw out upon the counter several half-pieces he had secreted. Ile was given into custody.—The ribbons were here produced and identified, and the prisoner, who made no defence, was committed for trial. QUEEN-SQUARE. It appeared that the prisoner and the prosecutor, who were b o th young men , h a d b een employed in the factory of M r . R o b erts , a d yer, and had 'lodged in the same•room i n a h ouse i n th e O ld Kent-road. The prosecutor stat e d, th a t on . th e morning of the 2d of August last he had left his clothe s in the room in a box which was not locked. lie missed them next day, and, on charging the prisoner with having taken them, he was told by him that h e h ad pledged them at Mr. Russell's, a pawnbroker. Prosecutor found, on inquiry, that this was not true. He was after wards told by the sister of the prisoner that the clothes had 'been pledged at Mr. Townsend's, an other pawnbroker. He went to Mr. Townsend's, and found there the greater part of the missing arti cles. In the meantime, the prisoner had gone down to Chatham, and enlisted in the East India Company's service. He was brought up to London, and he had ac knowledged, both t o the constable who had apprehend e d him and to the p o li ce Magistrate, that he had taken th e goods. The hi g h es t testimony was borne to the good character, young man's p rev i ous both by the prosecutor and by the foreman of the establishment in which he had been employed. They could only account for his having committed the theft by sup posing that he had acted under the influence of some sudden infatuation.

IN RE DAITGLINWAL AND FARRINGTON. This day being appointed for the final examination of the bankrupts, who carried on a most extensive business, as wholesale manufacturing chemists, at Stratford, and wh ose d e bt s an d li a bili t i es amounted to about 40,0001., . , A solicitor, on behalf of the trade assignees, ap peared to opp o3e th e i r passing. He said he did so on the part of one assignee who was a creditor for 16,0001., on the grounds that at the last hearing the Court decided that certain questions might be pro pounded in writing to the bankrupts, which were to be answered in reasonable time before the day for the last examination, but the answers to these queries were only returned yesterday. Mr. Commissioner MERRIVALE—Let the final examination stand adjourned sine die, with liberty, however, for the bankrupt to apply again, after ren dering satisfactory information on the subject of the inquries before-mentioned. SHERIFFS' COURT, August 15. WARRINGTON V. JONES. In this case the plaintiff was an artist, and the de fendant (in the words of the Learned Counsel who stated the case), a female keeping a house of ill-fame in Upper Seymour-street, and the action was brought to recover the sum of 151., being the price charged for a stained glass-window, put up in her establish ment in Seymour-street. A number of witnesses being called to prove the work done, and that it was by the deendant's order, Mr.liThomas, for the defence, called nearly an equal number to establish the fact that the plaintiff received the order for erecting this window from the eminent architect, Mr. Wyatt. The evidence of the witnesses called by Mr. Thomas, who were mostly servants and females residing with Mrs. Jones, alias Smith (for she had F everal aliases), went to prove that Mrs. Jones told the plaintiff distinctly Mr. Wyatt was to pay him for the work. Mr. CHADWICK JONES (for the plaintiff) in ad dressing the Jury, said Mr. Wyatt only introduced the defendant as a customer to the plaintiff; and the reason why he did not call Mr. Wyatt (who was in Court) to prove the fact, was because he felt some de licacy in submitting him to the cross-examination of Mr. Thomas.—(Laughter.) The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff. The Jury found the prisoner guilty, but recom mended him to mercy. The CIIAIRMAN asked whether the prisoner would be again received into the East India Company's ser vice after he had been convicted of the felony. - A constable, who appeared for the Company, said that he would ; the conviction would not affect his engagement with the Company. The prisoner was sentenced to 21 days' solitary confinement. John Goddard was found guilty of having stolen a washing tub, several shirts, handkerchief's, an d o th er articles, the property of Joseph Somers, of Bermondsey. The prisoner, who was a reckless-looking youth, had been known to the police as a thief for the last five ye ars , an d h a d b een repeatedly imprisoned. He was sentenced to seven years transportation. " Thank y ou , Si r ," said the prisoner, on hearing the decision of the Court. • Samuel Williams was charged on five indictments with having robbed a number of lodging-houses. It appeared that he had in this way carried on an ex tensive system of plunder. To two of the indictments the prisoner pleaded guilty. He was sentenced to seven years transportation. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. Gabriel Ambila, wh o was charc d on suspicion of have forged the name of Justin err et, for the pur pose of defraudi ng M essrs. Gibbs an d C o ., was brought before the Lord M a y or yesterday, after the examina tion of his paper s by Mr. Gibb s , Mr. Rougemont, and Daniel Forester, the officer. The gentlemen connected with t h e i n vestigati on were all in attend ance , when Mr. Hobler, j un ., sa i d that a mongst the papers of Mr. Ambita, a certificate from Jamaica, of the death of Mr. Ferret, had been discovered, as well as a copy of a letter which Mr. Ambila mentioned he had sent to Mr. Ferret' s p artner at Lima, announcing the death of Mr. Perret, and the fact that the prisoner was in possession of an inventory of the effects of the deceased. The inventory alluded to had been found, and other bills of exchange, in favour of Mr. Perr accepted by Messrs. Gibbs and Co., but not made use of. Upon further search some bills, not at all con nected with Mr. Ferret, were discovere d ; with which bills Mr. Ambila said he was entrusted to send to Paris. In conclusio n th ere were also found bills to a large am ount n' favour of Mr. Ambila himself, and several other documents, which, upon being examined by Arr. Rougemont, Messrs. Gibbs, and Mr. Fornechan, th e representative of Mr. Ferret's family, were declared to be corroborative evidences of the innocence of the int ent i on of Mr. Am bil a, notwith standing the colour which, in the first instance, was given by the fact that M r. Ambila signed the name o f Justin Ferret, and m a d e no explanation of that act uponpresenting the bill s to be accepted. The LORD MAYOR, in di scharging Mr. Am bi la, sa i d that he quitted the Mansion House without the slight est imputation upon his character, although, from his ignorance of the usual forms of law suits, he had got himself into a very disagreeable dilemma. Mr. Ambila would, of course, authorise Daniel Forester to give up the doubloons, which he ac k nowledged were the pro ceeds of Mr. Ferret's bills. Mr. Ambila, without hesitation, consented to give up the doubloons. The LORD MAYOR--Mr. Rougemont will arrange to supply Mr. Ambila with fund s to return to Lima, and Mr. Ambila will lave with Mr. Rougemont the be bills in h ed and remitted to possession, in o rder that th e p rocee d s may Ambila at Lima, in order that that gentleman ma y not return to England. His LORDSHIP, in the course of a conversation with the parties, .made several other suggestions, which were immediately asse n t e d to by all, and aft er expressing deep regret at th e unpleasant produced by the apparently culpable consequence s culpable conduct of explanation was extremely a t n cr d l talc thathim hteh wasthe harged. several times during satisfactory,:AlrA .ik:llAmbila, a the examination, bowed and retired with his friends.

(Some of the particulars are given in anothe part of the paper.) The Police Inspector said he went to the lodgings, No. 47, Old Pye-street, West minster, where the assault was committed, and there saw a large pool of blood by the side of the bed ; the sheets were also stained with blood, and had recently been washed out ; they were still wet. The place in dicated that a protracted struggle occurred there. The prisoner, on the charge being read over to him was cautioned, that whatever he might say would be given in evidence—•to which he replied, that he had struck his wife with his fist to prevent her stabbing him with a knife, it was only one blow that had made the cut on her lip. Inspector Beresford said that the upper part of the face of the deceased was much swollen and bruised, and she appeared to have received a heavy blow on Ile eye. He was remanded until Tuesday.

The LORD MAYOR having examined witnesses, who proved that Austin had taken a lodo n ___ g for him self and the woman as man and wife, and that clothes which had been stolen from the husband were found on the premises, asked the complainant whether he meant to take back his wife ?—Streater replied that he had not made up his mind upon the subject. The LOR D M AYOR —I advise you to consider well before you do such a thing. She has boasted in the prison that the child in her arms i s not yours, but her paramour's. Take care what you are about. She may rob you effectually next time. The tailor made no o bservation, an d His LORDSHIP said, Well, I have no proof that this fellow stole the property, so I discharge them both. GUILDHALL. Thomas lValdron was charged with having as saulted police-officers William Ireland and John Shelton, whilst in the execution of their duty. WORSHIP-STREET. William Sheen, the man who acquired so multi in , famous notoriety, some years ago, from the circum stance of his cutting off his child's head, was placed a_ the bar upon a warrant, charged with having violently assaulted Ann Raven, an " unfortunate" girl. The complainant stated that she lodged in the house occupied by the prisoner, which is situated in George street, Spitalfields, and as she was ascending the stairs towards her apartment, a few nights ago, she was sud. denly attacked by two women, one of whom cohabited with the prisoner. After knocking her down they struck and kicked her in a most savage manner, and the prisoner encouraged their violence by clap ping his hands, and calling out, " seize her my bull dogs —go it again," with similar exclamations. Her assailants continued beating her until her strength was exhausted, and the prisoner then raised her up in his arms and flung her into the street, with such violence that she lay for some in a state of insensibility. The wretched woman presented a shocking ap pearance her face and neck being covered with cuts and contusions. Upon being asked if he wished to say anything, the prisoner with much vehemence broke out in the fol lowing strain :—" I declare most solemnly that I was not in the house at the time the row' took place, but that woman is always casting in my teeth the trouble I got into long ago about the child. Your policemen can all tell you that there's not a more peaceable man alive than I am, if they will only let me alone, but wherever I appear they call out there gees the murderer,' and I have not had a moment's peace or rest since the hour it happened. It would have been a mercy if they had hung me up at the time, and put an end to me at once ;—my heart is broken." The prisoner here covered his face with his hands, and his muscular frame was apparently convulsed for some minutes with uncontrollable emotion. Mr. BINGHAM said, that although it was evident the complainant had been most brutally ill-used by some one, there was not a particle of evidence to affect the prisoner, and he must therefore discharge him. The gloomy criminal left the bar with an air of sullen ihdifference. CLERKENWELL. Yesterday Wm. Thomas, a driver in the service of Messrs. Coulson, the Islington omnibus proprietors, was charged with manslaughter, in driving over the body of one Jos. Ellis, and thereby causing his death. Inspector Thatcher, of the N division, said that in consequence of information he had received, he ap prehended the prisoner on the previous evening, whilst on the box of the omnibus 3,981, called the Hope, be longing to Messrs. Thomas and Wm. Coulson. Wit ness informed the prisoner that he wanted him for running over a man, named Ellis, in the City-road, on' Monday night, about ten o'clock. Witness knows, from having received a Coroner's summons to attend the inquest, that the man is dead. When witness told the prisoner what he apprehended him for, he said he knew nothing about it. He also asked whether bail would be taken, to which witness answered in the negative. itobert Duncan, the conductor of Wilson's omnibus, 3,962, badge 133, said he was with his 'bus in the City-road on Monday night, about ten o'clock. He was standing on his footboard looking back, when, as they got a little lower than the Blue-coat Bov, he saw the other omnibus about thirty yards behind him, taking the direction, as he thought, towards Goswell street. It was going at the rate of not more than six or seven miles an hour. Believes the prisoner was the driver. He had come up to the Blue-coat Boy before witness had started. Witness did not get off his footboard at all. Both the omnibuses commenced their journey from Highgate to the City. Will swear they were not racing then or at all that night. Wit ness saw something lying in the road, which he at first thought was a great coat, which had fallen from the box of the prisoner's omnibus. He saw it after the omnibus had passed. Will swear that he did not see either the horses or the omnibus pass over it. It was on the off side. Mr. CoMßl—Did you see them pass it ? Witness— They went past it. I saw the coachman stop the omnibus, and the conductor got down from his footboard. I was then forty yards in advance of them. We went forward. I continued looking back, and I saw the conductor run to that which I thought was a great coat, and then I saw a number of persons coming to the spot from the direction of the Angel. I saw no more. I did say to my coachman "I think there is somebody run over." What I saw looked like a coat or a man. I will swear I did not see a man's hat or a man's head. I will not swear it was not a man. I did believe it was a man, because I saw people running to the spot, but it was then dark. Mr. COMBE closely questioned this witness touch ing the. identity o f th e p r i s oner as the driver, but could not bring him to say whether he could swear to him, though he said he had no doubt he was the man.

Yesterday a poor woman named Briggs, the widow of a cab-driver, who recently lost his life under very deplorable circumstances, attended, with her mother, an aged woman, before Mr. Broughton, to solicit his assistance. It appeared from the statement of the applicant, that her deceased husband was formerly in business as a shoe-manufacturer, from which he was compelled to retire in consequence of severe losses ; but being much respected he succeeded in borrowing a sufficient sum to purchase a horse and cab, by means of which he was in hopes of securing a subsistence for his numerous family. He had been six months engaged in his new occupation, and had good prospects of suc ceeding in it, when about five weeks ago his cab was hired at Islington by three men, who desired him to drive after a phteton, which had taken the road to Highgate. He overtwk the vehicle at Highgate Archway, where his passengers alighted, and offered him Is., and on his demanding 35., which was his legal fare, they commenced abusing him, and one of them eventually threw him down with so much violence that he sustained a severe compound fracture of the leg. The three fellows then drove away in the phttton, and the po )r cabman was soon afterwards picked up by the police, who conveyed him to St. Bartholomew's Hos pital, where his leg was amputated, but he remained in a delirious state, and only survived the operation a few days. Every exertion was made by the police to discover the retreat of his assailants without success ; and the Jury, at the Coroner's inquest that was held on the deceased, returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against some person or persons unknown." Soon after her husband's death the unfortunate applicant disposed of his horse and gig, the proceed s o f w hi c h barely sufficed to mee t th e claims of his creditors, and she was now left hi a state of utter destitution, with six children and an infirm mother, who were all de pendent upon her for support, and, to increase her misery, she was on the eve of again becoming a mo ther. Under these circumstances she was induced to lay her case before the Magistrate, in the hope of ob taining some trifling pecuniary assistance to place her in some small way of business, whereby she might procure the means of subsistence for her helpless and destitute offspring. Hanley, the chief usher, said that he had made mi nute inquiries into the characters, both of the applicant and her late husband, and they were represented as most industrious, honest, and sober people. He had ascertained from personal observation that the afflicted woman and her numerous progeny were at present in a state of extreme privation and distress. Mr. BROUGHTON said, that previous to her present application his attention had been directed to the me lancholy situation in which she was placed, and he felt satisfied that a case more truly deserving of public commisseration had never been brought forward. It was impossible to avoid sympathising with her inisfor tunes, her husband's life having been suddenly sacri ficed through an act of wanton brutality, and herself and children reduced in a moment from comparative comfort and happiness to a state of destitution and misery. He had just received a contribution of Os. from a benevolent lady to whom he had mentioned her case, and he sincerely trusted that her laudable en deavours to obtain such assistance as would enable her to exert her industry for the support of her desti tute family, might be crowned with success. The poor woman expressed herself in terms of heartfelt gratitude to the Magistrate for his urbanity arid kindness, and left the Court with her infirm parent GREAT NORTH OF ENGLAND RAILWAY.

THE NEAPOLITAN AMBASSADOR AND THE COM MERCIAL STEAM-PACKET COMPANY.—On Wednes day Mr. John Bleaden, the Secretary to the Com mercial Steam-packet Company, appeared before the Commissioners in consequence of a summons which had been taken out at the instance of the Prince Cas telcicala, the Neapolitan Plenipotentiary in London, to compel the Company to refund the sum of two guineas, which M. Lorenzo Bianchi, a gentleman al leged to have been an ordinary passenger on board one of the Company's Bologne steamers, had been obliged to pay on the ground of his bearing dispatches to the Neapolitan Embassy. The matter of this complaint has already, it will be recollected, been the subject of investigation before the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house, but as hi s Lordship had no authority to decide between the par ties, it was brought before the Commissioners as a proceeding for the recovery of a debt. His Excellency was attended by Mr. Maynard, of the firm of Crowder and Maynard, as his professional adviser ; and Mr. Bee, the Director to the Steam packet Company, appeared on behalf of the defendants. From the statement of Mr. Maynard, supported by the evidence of Mr. Bianchi, it appeared that in the course of the last month, Mr. Bianchi, who was tra velling on his own business, and is not in any way connected with the Embassy, took his passage from Boulogne in the ordinary way and paid 1/. for the fare ; that he had no more luggage than as a pas senger he was entitled to carry with him, and that he made no mention of having been intrusted with dis patches, and therefore received no other attention than was afforded to the rest of the company on board ; that on the arrival of the vessel at the wharf, as Mr. Bianchi was about to land, he held in his hand the packet which contained the dispatches ; that he was challenged with being the bearer of dispatches, and that on his acknowledgment of the fact, he was told he must pay two guineas ; that he objected and referred the party claiming to the Embassy; that he was, however, followed to the Custom-house, and was there told that unlass he paid the demand, his luggage would be detained ; that he then paid the two guineas, and that the Ambassador, upon being informed of the circumstances, determined to have the question de cided by a competent authority. Mr. Maynard, under these circumstances, submitted that Mr. Bianchi, having paid the money under com pulsion, was entitled to have it refunded if the Com pany were not justified in demanding it, and he con tended that as Mr. Bianchi had not claimed or re ceived any facilities or attentions of any,kiiid, whi c h were not common to all the passenger4 4 tihr demand was altogether unwarranted, and could 'oily be sup ported in cases where the bearer of dispatches made known his character, and received from the Company's EFFECTS OF MONOPOLY. ONDON, SEPT. 16, 1842. The following average prices, exclusive of duty, of brown or Muscovado British Sugars, will be pub lished in the Gazette of this evening : s. d. West India 36 55 per cwt. East India 3B laa Mauritius 33 The total average price of the three descriptions is 365. 31d. per cwt. The actual weights of Sugar sold on account of the importers, in the week ending the 13th inst., accord ing to the returns made upon oath by the Sugar bro kers, in conformity with the Act of Parliament, and on which weights the above prices are computed, con sisted of 38,515 cwt. West India, of 1,109 cwt. East India, and 4,672 cwt. Mauritius. Foreign brown or Muscovado Sugars may be bought at 14s. per cwt., and upwards ; that of a quality equal to the average quality of West India 16s. 6d. ; Dutch Refined Sugar at 225. 6d ; and Foreign Molasses at 7s. per cwt. This nation is therefore fleeced by the monopolists to the tune of 20s. per cwt. When will justice be done to our industrious consumers. It has been objected to the remarks made in our Sugar article of last week, that the mode of reducing wages in the West India Colonies therein suggested, would, if carried out, throw half the estates out of cultivation, to the utter ruin of their proprietors. That this inference can be drawn from what was stated we totally deny; we guardedly said that the exhausteel lands should be thrown out of Sugar cul tivation, and we also stated that such land might bey advantageously tilled for provisions. Let any disin terested person take up the list of provisions annu ally imported into the different West India Colonies, and he will find the quantities so purchased would require nearly all the land on which the Sugar cane had ceased to be grown barely adequate to the pro duction of them. Again, supposing th ere s h ou ld b e some land to spare, after a sufficient number of acres had been l a id down for provisions would. not such spare land be easily made to , produce coffee, pimento, or cocoa ? each crop of those articles not requiring more than one-half the strength of labour which the cultivatio n of the cane, and the after process of boiling the juice down to. Sugar does. The objection raised by the West Indians in this respect resembles the complaints of those land lords at home, who argue as though land thrown out; of wheat cultivation by a free trade in corn would b e , condemned toremain untouched. They would main taila that it is inconvertible to any other purpose. Sheer nonsense. Again fault is found with the number ciC negroes supposed to be employed on a hundred acres of land ; this is unreasonable; for we never professed. to be accurate in that matter ; on the contrary, wes gave it as a hypothetical statement. All we sought to do was to show the proportions of labour required for good and for bad land. It cannot be denied that; exhausted soils will require the work of three negroes to the one employed on good land, and that with that additional strength the. Sugar raised on the bad ground will proves less in quantity and superior in quality to that; raised on good land ; furthermore it cannot be denied, that, with the aid of ordinary farming imple men t s , the labour of one negro will suffice to till the lant for provisions where the services of six are wanted. for cultivating the same kind of land for the Sugar cane, and afterwards make the Sugar. Whether, therefore we had said 150 to 50—or 3 to I—or whether we had said 150 to 25—or 6 to 1, is tr. matter of indifference; the proportions remain the, same. Having explained thus far, we commence, ac cording to promise, an examination into the charges of ten shillings per cwt., which accrue after the Sugar is made in the colonies. The usual charge for a hogs head which will contain 14 cwt of Sugar is about 14s. sterling, being a charge on the Sugar of Is_ per cwt. By packing the Sugar in mats, as the• Mauritius planters do, five-sixths of the shilling might; he saved ; three mats may be made from rushes by the infirm and the women on the different plantations, should these rushes not grow spontaneously; there* will be found on most of the estates land only fit Us grow them, which may be occupied in producing the' quantity of rush necessary for bag-making ; moreover the sugar brought in mats rarely, or ever, loses by drainage during the long voyage from the Mauritius, whereas a hogshead of Sugar will lose in weight 281bs. by drainage, on the shorter voyage from the, West Indies. lenpence per cwt. may then be saved. in the package, and this, too, without taking credit for a fraction f or th e va l ue o f the Sugar sased 'by the' drainage. With regard to the charge for freight, &c.. of ss. per cwt., we entertain a strong opinion that if' two or more proprietors, whose lands are contiguous, were to advertise for tonnage, they would readily ob tain a ship whose owner would undertake to have per formed all that is now done, and bring the Sugar home for 50s. per ton ; the proprietors saving by suds an arrangement 2s. Gd. per cwt. In this enterprise, however, it cannot be concealed the proprietors would have a difficulty to encounter from encroaching on a mo nopoly which works under the protection of their own, namely, the West India shipping interest. Nothing but firmness and determination on the part of a com bined body of proprietors could burst the bonds of this evil ; once broken through it would soon perish. The dockage and manapiement prior to the sale of the, Sugar form the next item, sot at 4s. per cwt. Con sidering the security aftbrded, and the services ren-. tiered by the docks, so much of the charge as related to them is by no means out of the way; but for thes costs of management, which are here mixed up with the dock charge, they are excessive, being equivalent to 6 per cent. on the price of the Sugar before charges accrue, or 3 per cent, upon the duty paid price o f i t . Many brokers in and out of the Sugar market may be, found who would gladly manage the whole affair for one per cent. on the duty paid price, and who are cads, restrained from applying to the owners of the Sugar by the fear of giving offence to the West India mer. chants, whose servants they are. Supposing the, duty paid price to be sixty shillings per cwt.. the broker would transact the business for one per cent., or 7d. per cwt., yielding a clear gain to thee proprietors of Is. 2d. per cat Thus, taking these, reduced charges together, a saving of 4s. 6d. out of the 'los. is attained. If, then, the entire mode re-. commended were tarried out, the cost of the Sugar, that is, growing and making it, would be 6s. 4d. per cwt., and the charges of bringing it to market ss. 6d., in all 11 s. 10d., and three eleven shillings and ten pence would yield the proprietors as much profit as they now derive from 355. per cwt. • the consumers, whose interests are ra re l y consulted by the Legis lature, or noticed indeed unless for the ulterior object of advancing the benefit of the monopolists, would experience the gratifying knowledge that they were buying and using Sugar which had paid 255. pea cwt. towards the maintenance of the revenue, for 375. per cwt., or after such Sugar had been refined, at 6d. per lb. for good lump, 3d. per lb. for Bastard Sugar and lid. per lb. for treacle ; thus catering to the vari ous wants of the community at large, at a cheaper rate than that at which slave-labour Sugar could be supplied, thereby effectually driving the Cuban and Brazilian growers out of the British markets, vs event which protection to the West Indians has sig nally failed to achieve, The West Indians have ems joyed abundant opportunities for effecting the gala• tary changes suggested for their mode of general management, and they have allowed them to pass un headed ; it is, therefore, quite clear they require gentle coercion, to compel them to adopt measuri* which would be beneficial to themselves in every sen e of the word. Is it to be tolerated, that for the salzo of keeping the black labourers in prime conditio , g, by only working them on alternate days, or for tie sake of maintaining the white pia prietors in luxur ous idleness in this country, where they are neither required nor desired, that the industrious class 3a at home should pay an enormous excess of price f Sugar ?—an article which ost has rt gbecomeht as a b w so e l l u l t b el e y p n r , e. t. cessary to their corn frt tended, that because the black labourers only choose te to work one day in the week , and the whi props e tors choose to drive six horses in lieu of a pair in their carriages, b es ides wofully ne g l ect i ng their affairs in the Colonies, that the people o f t hi s country ought to pay double what they are now pang for Sugar— is continue the present course, the gentle coercim a W neces sary to drive the 'Vest Indians into industrio is and economic habits—habits Which will compel t . whites either to reside on their estates, or transfer them to others wh o w ill —and the blacks to dab , .work for daily bread, is tq' admit foreign Sugars to i an a c. tive competition in the British markets, with tho e propped up by monopoly. The West Indians, if they choose to follow the course pointed out for the.n. have the power of tlriving th e i r r i va l s ou t o f th e fie ki by underselling thOm. A non - commissioned officer in the recruiting sera vice, named Durand, stationed at Mont de-Marsan, the Landes, having last week received a blow in the street, from a comrade with whom he had lived upon terms of close friendship, gave him a challenge to fight a duet, appointing th e meeting for the following morning. Du rand went to the rendezvous, but his adversary did not make his appearance. On returning to the barracks, Durand found that the soldier had been put under arrest for four days, and at once went to their captain, ttnd, having stated to him the gross insult be had received. asked permission for his adversary to come out. The officer, however, refused to comply with his request. Da rand felt himself so disgraced by being obliged to re main with the stain upon his honour unavenged, that he went to his room, and shot himself with the pistol he had intended to level against his adversary. An ahilir of love and jealousy is said to have been the cause of quarrel. Durand was so much esteemed in his regiment that his officers attended his funeral, and expressed over his grave their re g ret at his loss. A complete R oman dwelling, apparently belongi to a family in the middle ranks of life, has just been e cavated in the Loges Wood, near Chateau-Gaillard, the Abbe Cocket. The flooring, pillars, ornament ceilin 4 &c., are in a perfect state of preservation.
