We refer our readers to the Mtp of India, published in TiLe Sun of this day, and the historical accounts f the various nations inhabiting that vast region. The de tails respecting the habits, customs, government, and military forces of the respective States, have been de rived from the best authorities, and will be found highly interesting. The history of Affghanistan, where the British troops have met with more deplorable disasters than at any period in the memory of man, has been ar ranged with the greatest care; every document within our reach bas . beenconsulted; the character, spirit, and religion of the' people' have been investigated ; and we confidently trust the public will see, front ''studying the history of this singular nation, that, in a'shom time, Britain will have no difficulty in retriev ing here character in that quarter, and taking ample vengeance for the perfidious and cruel slaughter of many thousands of helpless beings, who implicitly trusted to the faith of treaties. This must be the first object of the Indian. Government. The next regards China. Thu longer . the settlement of the dispute with the Celestial Empire is delayed, the greater wilt the difficulty beconie. We-have enemies enough in the Western part of the Itorld, independent of those in the East, who will be anxious to take advantage of present circumstances to instruct the Chinese in the art of war, and e them to persevere in their resistance to just demands ; asid the only rational course, there fore,- we can pursue, i 3 to send such a number .of troops to China as shall settle the dispute at once, and make the Wight Eye pay the expenses of the expedition. We do not yet absolutely despair of success in resist ing the income tax. The division on Lord JOHN Res- Een's motion is not a full and correct index to the mi nority which will vote against the first and second reading of the laconic Tax Bill. His resolution was a party attempt to revive his discredited budget, and was not sup ported by several Honourable Members who will resist the tax. People begin better to comprehend its bearings, and since it has been stated by Sir ROBERT PEEL'S own partizans that he has a concealed motive for pressing it forward—asking for it as a substitute for that commer cial freedom which cements individuals and nations into ione harmonious and peaceful whole--will they be more . atrenuous in opposing it. A thoughtful statesman would never have had recourse to it. He would have been at once sensible that such a tax must add to the wretchedness and criminality of society. We are all suffering bitterly from the grab-ali system, which begins unfortunately with the advisers of the Crown, prompts nearly every action of the priesthood, guides all the politicians, and, amongst the less fortunate classes of society, 'shows itself its those innumerable in tractions on what has been already grabbed, as a means of retaliation, which covers the land with gaols, and fills almost every house with woe. A thought ful statesman would rather cut his head off, or liar out his tongue, than strengthen such a sys tem. Sir Robert Peel, how ever, with a spirit which would do no dishonour to a Cossack, thinks of nothing apparently, but how he shall get more money to spend on the State, and he sets the bad example, in the name of a strong and united Government, of grabbing some thing more.from the people. He is about, therefore, to increase, by his income tax, all the incentives to crime „which now exist, and by the authority of the Legislature to strengthen and confirm that terrible rapacity which is the - • deadly enemy of social happiness. In fact, the income tax is an extension of the plan, too long pursued by the Legislature, of plundering the people by solemn Acts .of Parliament, which has very much weakened, though it has nut been able to destroy the sentiment of respect for properly. To-night the question will be put, whether the Bill shall be read a first time, and we anticipate that the minority will be much larger than the minority which voted for the Whig budget on Wednesday. Several liberal members who thought, like Mr. ROEBUCK, that they ought not to vote for Lord J. RUSSELL'S resolution, will think it an imperative, duty to vote against the in come tax. • The Bank of England has now upwards of 7,000,0001. in its coffers, and has lowered the rate of interest. Money, according to all accounts, is extremely abundant in the City, and the Bank is desirous of making it more abundant, by increasing its issues. In the rise of Buenos Ayres, and other Foreign Stocks, there are already indi eatioas of speculation being on the watch, and ready, as soonas the legislation affecting commerce and revenue, now na progress, be brought :o a close, to become stirring, and active. Such was the case when money was abun dant in 1523, 1824, and in 1834, 1835, and probably will again be the case in the latter end of 1842, 1843, and 1844'. At present the population has been starved down to dig means of.the country ; the cycle of adversity has, probably, been passed through, and the community is mow to enter . the cycle of prosperity. Alternations of /his kind have been the unhappy lot of the community ever since the barbarous law was made to keep down the population nearly' to a level with the prod uce o f our own soi. It is our opinion that this change would have taken place though Sir B. PEEL had never cast adrift all the customs and duties of the country. We are sure that partial prosperity, after so much suffering, would be the consequence of an abundance of money, conjoined with a tolerable good harvest, but as both these circumstances may now occur, as one of them has occurred contempo.. raneously with the agitation of the tariff, and as it is likely that all the prosperity which arises will be attri buted to his new regulations, it is our duty to call on the public to notice that the rate of interest was lowered, and a large stock of bullion accumulated in the Bank, before his tariff was passed. While the commerce of The country, so far as legislation is concerned, may be said 'to be all airift, those circumstances have already come into existence which have heretofore preceded increased spec u l at i on and great apparent pros perity. The state of the M""eY Market accounts fur the eagerness of the City g •ntkmen, as represented by Mr. MAsTEam.tx, to have the Tariff question settled. They arc anxious to • get employment for their idle u money. Mr. MASTERMAN is hineif a partn er i n a house which eal largely in iAney, and he spoke his own sentiments nd the wants of all his Class. We honour these gen t emen's industry, we deride no kind of honest occupa t. on, but it is not too muchfor the public t o expect that they should not farce an income tax and a tariff on the whole community, of which they are but a small part, in order that their eagerness to add to their wealth may be gratified. Do the electors of Sunderland wish to see the backs of our b:xre soldiers marked wltli shame ? Do they wish to see the bloody and brutal system of man-flogging maintained in England after it has been abolished in the Colonies ? then they will approve of Lord flrowicK, s vote to . preserve the discipline o f th e ar my by the cat-o'-nine tails. If the enlightened electors of Edinburgh are of opinion that the English army ought to be composed of the dregs of the population, for few besides will go into it to be flogged; if they think that discipline will be better preserved and liberty better defended by the slaves of the cat than by intelligent freemen ; if they wish to t make the army the complete tool of any tyrant who m a y get it into his hand, they will thank Mr. MACAULAY for his speech and vote on Friday night in favour of military flogging. But if the electors of Sunderland and Edin burgh abhor, as most Englishmen abhor, the cruel and scandalous practice of flogging—which i s mere l y use d as a substitute for doing the men justice, and for the want of care and diligence in the officers—they will signify to Viscount HOWICIE and the Right Hon. T. B. MACAULAY that they have grossly abused the trust placed in them, and that they were sent to P ar li amen t to promote righteousness, to do justice, and to foster humanity, not to sanction the least necessary and the most brutal punishment that now prevails in Europe. Captain BERNAL'S motion in the Housa of Commons, on Friday night, for the abolition of flogging in the army during the time of peace, save for offences committed on a line of march, or for theft, was lost by a majority of 12E—only 39 votes being given for relieving the soldier from the degrading punishment of a brute, while 187 voted for the retention of this badge of disgraceful serfage. The Gellert Captain supported his motion by ea able and conclusive speech, which will make a far deeper impression upon the country than it did upon the House. He reminded the House that the opinions of professional men respecting the expediency of changes were always to be received with caution. Judges were humane, educated, expe rienced men, and yet such was the force of professional bias that they were the most opposed to any relaxation of the criminal code—a measure now universally admitted to be most conducive to an improvi.ment in the morals of the country. He would educate—not flog the soldier; and he contended that education would do away with any pretext for having recourse to the lash. Sir HOWARD DouoLas, although he opposed the motion, admitted that the diffusion of education would render the lash unnecessary. He shuddered to think how frightfully prevalent flogging was in the army, oven within his own remembrance, but it was consola tory to think that it was falling into disuse owing to the improvement in the morals of the army, and he looked forward to a time when it would cease altogether. We can tell the Gallant Officer that it will only cease when courts martial are deprived of the power of inflicting it. So long as Parliament allows such courts the power of sen tencing men to be flogged, they will exercise it, were it only to show that they have it. Where the question at issue is the degradation of a human being below the level of a brute—for an Act of Parliament secures im punity from the lash to costermongers' donkeys—we contend that nothing should be left to the discretion of a tribunal, notoriously constituted by persons having no sympathy with the accused. But the Right lion. Member for Edinburgh, whom to our great surprise we find voting with the majority, pleads the necessity of the public service. What is the meaning of this ? If the discipline of the army cannot be maintained without eorporal punishments, it is be cause the existence of such punishments in the army prevents any but the dregs of society—or the desperate in circumstances—from entering it. No educated young man of spirit would enter a ser vice in which he might be condemned to a punish- silent which would for ever degrade him in his own eyes, and disgrace him in the opinion of Isis comrades, his family, and his friends. Abolish corporal punishment in the case of all recruits who shall henceforth enlist, and mark the different class of men which shall soon compose the ranks of England's defenders. Fear never contributed to make a good soldier, and never will the British army be brought to any degree of perfection while dread of the lash is substituted for the principle of honour in the breast of the British soldier. The most miserable exhibition of the evening was made by Captain BOLDER°, who, now that his friends are in office, shamefully abandons the protective flag which he himself was one of the first to raise over the heads of the British sol diery. He has changed his opinions, forsooth I and now regards flogging as by no means the evil thing which ho for.nerly represented it. General EVANS, while directing the " Isle of Dogs Expedition" against DWI CARLOS, made a convert of him to the efficacy of a judicious application of a cat-o'-nine-tails to the backs of such vagabonds as serve their country for the moderate sum of 181. a-year. The Gallant Cap tain, with unabashed effrontery, told the House that he claimed a full and perfect right to change his opinions upon this or any other question. We at once concede such right. We have no power to withhold it. But we too claim a right in exchange. It is the right to despise—to regard with utter contempt, the political weathercock whose vanity induces him to accept the popularity of sincerely advocating mea sures while he has no hope of carrying them, but who abandons them the instant he might claim for them the support necessary for their realization. Captain BOLDER() can no longer hum bug the country, and so he now throws off the mask, under the miserable, and, to the soldier, most offensive and insulting pretext of recognising in General EVANS' raggamuffin squad at St. Sebastian a fair specimen of a British army ! But enough of Captain BOLDER°, to whose constituents we recommend the following letter, received by us on Saturday, relative to his speech and vote .on Friday night s -ssa,-1 trust that you will direct the attention of the public to Captain Boldero's conduct on the amendment which was proposed to the Mutiny Bill last night. The clause, which was so well moved by the Gallant Member for Wycombe, ha fur its object the abolition of noggin.- in the army during p eace . On April 13, 1836, Captain Boller°, bring in opposition, seconded.a motion for the abolition of flogging. At that time " he put it to the Bowe, if they persisted in eintinuing cor poral punishments, whether they would'not render themselves liable to the charge of having liberty on their tongues, and tyranny in their hearts !" Vide Hansard's Debates. April 7, 1837!:—He again seconded a motion for abolition; it was then "his firm convictLu that by increasing the com forts of the soldier, corporal punishment might be dispensed with in time of peace."— Vide Hansard. March 26, 1838.—He brought forward a motion having for its object the possibility of finding a substitute for flogging in time of peace. He then claimed " the vote of a Gallant Officer (Evans), as he limited his motion to abolishing flogging during time of peace."— Vide Mansard. But on April LW, 1842, he having changed sides, and become Clerk of the Ordnance, "he feels convinced of the necessity of flogging, from the Report of the Commissioner. who sat in 1835 I" which Report he had before pronounced " proved that flogging might be abolished vril advantage to the service," on April 13, 18361 Surely, Sir, this either shows that his love of place is greater than his love of humanity, or that Isis previous exhibi bitions have been gone up for the electors of Chippenham. April 16, 1842. EMERITUS. MADRM Bouisa.—Thero was but little business transacted on the Madrid Bourse, on the 7th inst. The Three per Cents. were dune at 214, 21k, 221, at different dates. There is no important news in the French or Spanish journals In the Madrid Chamber of Deputies, on the 7tli instant, Senor SANCHES SILVA brought forward a proposition, calling on the Government to bring forward during the present Session the supple ment to the tariff law relative to cotton manufactured goods, according to the terms of the second article of the law of the 9th of July, 1841, which was, after a stormy debate, ordered to be taken into consideration by a ma jority of 110 to 10. The Debate has a long article on the efforts the winegrowers of France are making to obtain from the Legislature some concessions in favour of their industry, which, as our contempo. ary states, is of vast importance, inasmuch as one twentieth of the entire soil of France is devoted to it, and it yields to the trea sury, or in octroi duties, not less than 110 millio n s o f f rancs an nually. The Debate admits that the complaints of the wine growers are entit:ed to the most serious attention ; but it charges them with exaggeration, and, above all with having assumed a menacing attitude, which is calculated rather to prevent than promote the accomplishment of their object. l'his journal denies that the exports and the domestic consumption of wines have declined in the way stated by the growers. In 1829, says the Debate, the exports of wine were 1 million 84,699 hec tolitres, whereas in 1840 they were 1,330,000, and there has been no falling off in the exports of brandies, although it is quite true that the trade in them has undergone no improve ment. An intention has been expressed in the Marine department, immediately to convoke the members of the Hoard of Admi ralty, under the presidency of Admiral thiperre ; we are as sured that this convocation is relative to the treaty on the right of starch. A letter from the Ilague speaks of a project to marry the second son of the King of Holland to the Princess Clementine of Orleans. This Prince is said to be destined to exercise the functions of Governor for the Grand Duke in Lux emburg. Will this plan be realised any more than that of marrying the Prince de Joinville to a Dutch Princess? We doubt it ? Commerce. The presentation to the Chamber of Deputies of the Report of the Railroad Committee is delayed, all the information re quired by M. Dufaure, the reporter, not having yet been given.

April 10 COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—Madame Vestris and her husband have no longer anything to d o w ith t h e manage ment. The proprietors have taken the whole concern into their own hand, and if they are not able to obtain a lessee, they mean to carry it on next season for their own benefit. We do not pretend to be able to state the exact cause for the ejec. tion of Madame VestrY, but this we may say, that it is owing to some dispute about rent, which dispute would never have arisen had the theatre been conducted to a profit. Notwith siaral;ng the extraordinary attraction of Miss A. Kemble, who had drawn on an average to the extent of 3001. a night, the sea son on the average has been a losing speculation, for the non receipts on what are called the off-niglits, have more than coun terbalanced the receipts when the " star" performed. Some weeks ago we were aware that not a few of the performers were upon half salaries; but we did not like to publish the fact, not wishing to do the concern more injury than could he avoided. It may be taken for granted that Covent-garden will open next season substantially under the management of C. Kemble, al though other names may be put forward as those of persons who will bear the brunt of the business.— Observer. The Dutch Government, says a letter from Amster dam, is about to melt down all the old silver currency, and to issue a new coinage. S UPANARY OF NEWS AND 13ttbite Iltntoll. Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The leading articles of the Paris Journals do not possess any great interest. They are chiefly on the discuss.on in the Chamber of Deputies on the criminal code, respectinf , which they throw out no new vi ews , or on t h e quest i on o f the n right of search, of which so much has already been said that it would be a sacrifice of space to give extracts. The France says--" We have before us a letter, written by a superior officer of the column of Mascara, in which he states that the division of General Lamoriciere took, in the last cam paigns against the Arabs,. a case damns of English manufac ture. The fact is not new, but it derives a certain political significance from the recent succours afforded by Morocco." It is neither new uor extraordinary that English arms, which 3re sent by the manufacturers to all parts of the world, on specula tion, should find their way to the Arabs of Algeria. The France is not : ware, perhays, that in Syria many of the troops which fought against the English were armed with English muskets. The Memorial Bordelais of the 12th inst., states that the Cabinet of Madrid, in order to defeat the pane of the European Cabinets relative to the Queen of Spain's marriage, had deter mine-I to negotiate a matrimonial alliance between the eldest son of lion Carlos and his cousin, the youngest daughter of the Infante Don Francisco de Paula; toe rank of Don Cados's son to be recognised, and a pension granted him by the State. A letter from Athens, March 27, in the ifiTsburgla Gazelle, says The explanations given by the Porte to our Gevern ment relative to the enrolment •r troops which took place in the Turkish provinces, are of ahighly satisfactory nature. The Porte disavows all hostile intentions against Greece, and de clares formally that the troops ware raised solely with a view to Syria. The troops sent to the frontiers of Epirus and Thes saly have been recalled, consequently our Government has also withdrawn its troops. A division of the French squadron under the command of Admiral Lasusse is expected." The Times says :—" From inquiries made at the India house yesterday on the subject of the fall of Ghuznee, as de scribed in a letter from Bombay of the lst ult., we are led to believe and to hope that it may only prove to have been an exaggeration of the news.last received thence, and that the country may be spared this great additional disaster. The writer of the letter referred to was General Brooke, and cf its genuineness at least we can entertain no doubt." THE SUN, LONDON, MONTDAY MORNING, APRIL 18, Mt?.

The bullion in the Bank of triAland has increased from 6,281,000/. to 7,006,000/. a difference of 625,000/. ; this was to be expected from the large arrivals of specie from South America. The reduced amount of the circulation argues badly for a flourishing trade, which has scarcely ever been in so stagnant a state as it has been during the last few months. The amended copy of the tariff is so full of blunders as to excite the ridicule of mercantile men, who view the document as one which they should be ::shamed to have issue from their counting houses. Several have written to the Board of Trade various of the items, and now a third edition is promised. Accounts from the Mauritius to the sth of January, an nounce the death of the Governor, Sir Lionel Smith, which occurred on the 2d of that month rather suddenly, from effusion on the chest. Colonel Stavely r had succeeded him pro teas. These papers are barren of mercantile intelligence. LIVERPOOL COTTON', MARKET, APRIL 15.—There was some increase of demand at the close of last week, which has been steadily improving since, and yesterday the business was quite large, amounting to 10,000 bags; and to-day an active business was kept up. The low scale of i.rices is, no doubt, the foundation of the speculative investments, and of the general confidence which appears t,, be extending to the article ; at the same time, the great abundance of money is giving an easy facility for the importer to hold, and the buyer to pu chase. Added to this, the pretty general hope and belief that the new tariff, when fairly in operation, will have a tendency to put us in motion, all helps in the same direction. Hitherto there is nothing in the way of encouragement from Manchester, and therefore any movement towards an advance is looked upon very doubtfully; still the common qualities of American are higher ; this description having been previously depre!sed in tke greatest degree ' is sure to be the first to feel the reaction ; these kinds are 4-d . higher, and the others the same as before. The sales of the week amount to 39,030 bags, of which 12,000 American have been taken on speculation, and 1,500 American, 100 Pernam, 350 Surats, and 150 Madras, for export. LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, APRIL 15.—Less business was done to-day than during yesterday, yet the market was steady, and several transactions took place at the following quotations :—Eastern Counties, 9y ; Ditto New, 5; Edin burgh and Glasgow, 504- ; Grand Junction, New Quarter Shares, 26 1 ,4 ; Great Western.

" J. A. Anderson, Esq." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 15.—The Cornwall transport sai!ed yesterday, with stores and provisions for the fleet at Ch:na. Admiral Sir Edward Codrington has struck his flag, and gone on leave for two or three days. The St. Vincent and Victory, guard ships, are entering volunteers for the navy daily at this port, and a great number are being continually brought here in the various tenders fro n the other seaports in the kingdom. The Excellent gunnery ship is also entering seamen for the purpose of instructing them in gunnery practice, previous to their being distributed in other ships. The inducement held out to them is, that they shall enter for five years, to be instructed as seamen gunners, and from them only can gunners and gunners' mates be relecte,l. They will also b e preferred for t h e s it uat i on o f b oa t swa i n , if otherwise qualified, and all the ratings of petty officers will be open to th em . Oa being discharge d i nto sea-go ' ng s hi ps, t h ey will receive two shillings per month in addition to able sea men's pay, or that of any hi her rating which they may hold. When their first period of five years service expires, on pro ducing eertificates of good conduct, they will, if they re-enter immediately, be entitled to four shillings per month in addi tion to thei r p ay as able seamen, or o f any hi g h er rat i ng t h ey may hold; an d on the expirat i on o f t h e i r secon d per i o d o f service, if th ey shillings per month over and a b ove t h e i r pay as seamen or petty officers. again re-enter, they will be entitled to fire Korn the easterly winds, which have been prevailing for this last week, there has not been any arrival of homeward bound vessel, though it is expected that many of them are now in the Channel. WOOLWICH, APRIL Mastiff surveying vessel, Master Commander G. Thomas, sailed on Sunday, along with her tender, the Woodlark, to resume the survey of the Orkney Islands during the ensuing summer. The Fearle ss s t ea m-ves sel, Captain Frederick Bullock, sailed this morning, to resume the survey off Margate, and, during the summer, will examine the coast to the mouth of the Thames, and as far up the river as Putney-bridge. The Contlanee steam-vessel left Woolwich this morning fur Plymouth. The Salamander steam-vessel has had her repairs completed, and was tried down the river this morning. The pinnance of the Geyser steam-vessel has been fitted with a five-horse power disc engine, invented by Commander E. J. Carpenter, of the Geyser. 'The pinnace was tried yesterday off llungerford Market, in the presence of the Lords of the Ad. miralty, and was found to answer very well. The Geyser is still in the basin at Woolwich, and she is to he the model vessel by which other vessels arc to be fitted. Arrangements are at present in progress for fitting the azimuth compass on her quar ter deck, under the immediate superintendence of Captain Johnson, of the Royal Navy. The Acheron steam vessel is ordered to be brought forward for commission. The Styx steam vessel, Captain Vidal, is nearly ready for sea. It is Contemplated, although the order has not yet been given to fit one of her Majesty's frigates already b u ilt w ith powerful steam engines, for the purpose of facilitating her progress whon employed in transporting large bodies of troops to various parts of the world where their services m;iy be re quired, and especially in cases of emergency.. The Pene lope frigate, of 42 as present at Chatham, is named as the vessel which wilts, first fitted out, and it is expected the engines will b&Aipplied by Messrs. Seaward and Co., the extensive contractors at Limehouse. It is probable this is the vessel alluded to in the daily papers, extracted from the Mechanics' Magazine, and headed " New Steam Frigate, the largest in the world," as no orders have been issued by the Admiralty for the building and equipment of a new steam-f. igate, as stated in the paragraph. On the contrary, the Geyser, steam-frigate, has given such satisfaction that she has been appointed the model for steam-vessels of war for the use of her Majesty's Navy. In the event, however, of the application of powerful steam-engines to the Penelope frigate being perfec ly sneeesssll, there is every probability other frigates, of equal and of larger dimensions, will be similarly appointed, still retaining their present rigging, which will not not now be injured, owing to the discovery of the smoke con suming apparatus. The master shipwrights assembled in Committee at Wool wich are ordered to return to their respective dockyards. (Frew the Hampshire Telegraph.) _ - " PORTSMOUTH, Aran. 18.—The Formidable, - 64, anchored at Gibraltar on the morning of the 28th ult., in seven das from Shithead; the Queen, 1l 1, with Vice• Admiral Sir E. Owen's flag, passed up for Malta at the same time. These two ships had carried but low sail all the way out; hut on one occasion, when both ships were running free, with close and treble re; ed topsails and foresail, for 22 consecutive hours, the Formida'Jle spared her foresail, to prevent her from running ahead of the Admiral. The Malabar, 72. Captain Sir G. R. Sartorius, is ordered ,from Gibraltar to Plymouth. The officers and ship's com pany are to be transferred to the America, 59. It is rumoured the Malabar will be fitted for a troop-ship; the Jaseur, /6, was at Gibraltar on the 2d inst. The Beubow and Daphne, from Malta for England, had not reached Gibraltar on the 2d April, when the Oriental, steam packet passed out of the Mediter ••anean. The Wasp, 18, left Gibraltar for England, on the 25th March. The Favourite, IS, Captain Sullivan. left Sydney, for New Zealand, on the 21st October. The Vandalia, American sloop of war, mounting 20 guns, C..mmander Ramsay, left Norfolk for the coast of Africa, on the 17th ult. The question of Right of Search, we strongly sus pect, is to be tried through the interference of this vessel. Her 'Majesty's sloop Scylla, and the Alban steam-vessel, have been ordered to the chops of the channel, to assist any merchant ship detained there by the easterly winds. The Nauti'us, 10, Lieut. Paulson, arrived on Monday from Hall, and other towns on the Eastern coast, with volunteers for the flag ship. The Spitfire, steam frigate, was launched at Pembroke dock-yard, on the 24th ult. The Orestes, Satellite, and Albatross, sloops-of-war, are or dered for common at this port. The Speedy, cutter, arrived on Monday from Sheerness. The Shearwater was paid at Woolwich to-day • the Sala mander is on trial of her machinery in the rive r ; the Geyser, Styx, Rhadarnanthus, Lightning, are refitting; the Mastiff has sailed from Woolwich for the Shetland Islands. The Oriental steam-packet was this morning released from quarantine ; about eighty passengers landed here and proceeded to town by ithe early trains. The steamer is gone to South ampton. 'the chartered s'nip Beulah, taken up by the East India Com pany, with a detaehment of the 29th Regiment on beard for India, got on shore on the east side of Dungeness, on Thursday morning last, but fortunately the safety of her crew and passengers were not at all endangered; two steamers from the river were sent to her as sistance, and the Volcano steamer left this port last evening for the same purpose. The fact of this ship getting on shore does not much surprise us (we know not who commands her, or in what condition she is as to age and soundness) because, for the last thirty years, the transport department has been most dis gracefully conducted ; for that period the authorities have grossly neglected their duty. All the world has keown that ol and insufficient ships have constantly been taken up; that most incompetent and ignorant men have frequently been employed to command them , that a due inquiry into the competency of the masters, mates, and crew has never been instituted ; and that the survey of the ships themselves, by some strange collu sion, has been slurred over; and we are aware that the admo tions of a Gallant Officer against the emdloyment of ships he specified have been disregarded by the administration of the day. It is time this matter was strictly innuired into ; the safety of the troops demand it, and the honour of the country is frequently in hazard by its neglect. The ship, Sir John Fal.taff, arrived yesterday from New Zealand, with spars, which are offered for sale at the Dock yard, having been brought home on private account. The Penelope, which is ordered to be lengthened and con verted into a steam frigate, is to be 650 horse power ; to have engine room for 600 tons of fuel ; complete stowage under hatches for 1,000 troops, with four months' stores and provi sions, exclu4ive of a crew of about 450 men ; and is to be armed with 20 guns of the heaviest calibre, besides carronades. The Qa:bec, New York packet, sailed on Monday : she took 193 emigrants. The ship, Sir George Arthur, sailed to-day, with stores for Bermuda : she takes out eighty conv.cts from this port for the public works th. re. One hundred lan lsmea h tV2 this week been ordered to be entered on the Victory's books. In Harbour—St. Vincent, Victory, Excellent, Royal George, Winchester, Nautilus, Echo steam-tug, Sylvia cut ter, and Diligence naval transport. At Spithcad—Speedy cutter. Operations on the wreck of the Royal George will be re sumed on the Ist of May, under the directions of Major- Gene • ral Pasley. _ _ _ _ Mr. F;ederick Marryatt, Mate, passed for Lieutenant at the Naval College, on Tuesday.

PLYMOUTH, 1 HURSDAT, Arate. 14.—Thirty ropemakers' labourers were on Friday discharged from the dock-yard. The Devon, lighter, arrived on Moriday, from Torbay, with the anchor which was lost from the Alfred, while laying there. The Lyra, 6, Lieutenant Edward Collier, was paid off into or dinary {on the same day. On Saturday, arreved the Alban steamer, Mr. J. King, master, from Liverpool; the rendez vous for entering men at that port is for the present suspended, consequently she did not bring any volunteers. On Tueaday the Scylla, 16, Commander Robert Sharpe, was towed into the Sound by the Albion steamer. The Agincourt, 72, and Resist. lance, 42, the same L . :ay, were ordered to be got ready for sea with all dispatch. The artificers are woi king task and job on the Al bion, 90, to get her ready for launching in August next; their hours are from five in the morning until seven in the evening. Yesterday the Wizard, 10, Lieutenant J. B. Somerville, arrived from South America; the Etna, 6, from Liverpool ; and the Susan convict ship, from the eastward; she wilt take an additional number of convicts from the Sterling Castle, and proceed with them to New South Wales. In Harbour— Caledoaia, San Josef, Agincourt, Resistance, Crocodile, Philome!, Kite, aLd Alban. In the Sound—Scylla, Wizard, Etna, Spy, and Raven. Contracts were taken at the Royal Victualling Yard, Weovil, on Thursday,. for 2,600 quarters of wheat, _at an average of 675. 6d. per quarter. An or 'er has been issued from the Admiralty permitting seamen, pre being paid off, to deposit their hammocks and clothes, if they think fit, in the storehouses of the Dockyard, especial care being taken that such things are clean, and that no canvas, flannel, or linen be impregnated with oil. Proper lists are to be taken, and a ticket to be given to each man, spe cifying the exact building, room, and rack, in which his bag and hammock is to be found. Each man is to give an address where he is to be found, as at the end of three months, if his property be not claimed, it will be sold, and the proceeds given to the Seamen's Hospital Ship. Should he re-enter the service at another port his things will be forwarded to him. SEAMENS' SAVINGS' BANK.—It is not generally known to the Navy that seamen, on foreign [service,' may, if they think proper, have there wages every six months placed by the Ac countant-General into the Savings' Bank, in St. Martin's-lane, in such seaman's name ' • or on being paid o ff h e may l eave any part of his wages in the hands of the pay clerks, for the same purpose. Forms are furnished to every ship to facilitate these investments, and the seamen ' , honk: understand that the mo ment the money is an invested it bears interest ; he can autho rise any person he thinks proper to go to the Accountant-Gene • ral and demand his book; and further, any person, with the book in their hand, and producing a n or d er properly filled up to the said Savings' Bank, may have the whole or any part of such investment, on giving seven days' no ice. Mr. W. Westrope is appointed Inspector of Shipwrights in this Doek•yard, vice Phillips, retired. _ • - THE RO - EHAMPTON MURDER. CAPTURE OF GOOD. At a late hour on Saturday night, Mr. Humphries, an in spector of police on the Dover Railroad, arrived at the Green wich Police-station from Tonb:idge, and communicated to Mr. Mallehen, the Superintendent of the R division, the intelli gence that in the course of the morning he had apprehended a man answering, in every particular, the description given of Daniel Good in the Hue and Cry, and in the Government proclamations, and whom subsequent circumstances bad led him to believe was the murderer. It appears, that about nine o'clock in the morning of Saturday, Humphries received infor mation that a man, employed as a bricklayer's labourer on some new buildings adjacent, but not belonging to the line, had excited suspicior•s at his lodgings by his restless and agi tated manner, which had been confirmed by a labourer on the railway, who had formerly belonged to the V division of Me tropolitan Police, stating that he had seen the man in the neighbourhood of Putney, and that he believed him to be Good. Humphries proceeded to the spot and took the man into custody whilst at work, and then told him on what charge he apprehended him. The man, in a most firm manner, denied that his name was Good, and said it was James Connor. Mr. Humphries gave him into the custody of two of the constables of the line, and proceeded to his lodgings where he found a bundle containing the clothes described in the pro‘ la motion, together with a silver watch, between three and four pounds in cash, Lnd a cornelian breast-pin. Suspicion being thus strengthened into certainty, no time was lost in conveying the prisoner before Hare, E-q., a County Magistrate, at the office of Mr. Se! oories Vie. Clerk to the Magistrates at Tunbridge. The prisoner refused to say who or what he was, merely re marking that they would soon find out their mistake. He was then conveyed to the county gaol at Maidstone, by the railway constables, and Mr. Humphries lost no time in pro. (lering towards London with the intelligence, Upon receiving thi s i nte lli gence, Mr. Mallclieu immediately started to town, in company with Mr. Humphries, and the two proceeded to the office of the Police Commissioners in Scotland-yard, where they received instructions to take post horses, and reach Maidstoac without delay, taking with them sonic person who could identify the prisoner. Having pro ceeded to Putney, and obtained the assistance of police con stable Wheeler, of the V division, the party started about midnight in a post chaise, and reached Maidstone at four yes terday ( Sunday) morning. Mr. Bone, the Governor of the county gaol, accompanied them to the cell in which the pri soner and two other men were confined. The prisoners were sleeping at the time the party entered, but on Mr. Bone or dering them to rise, the murderer sprung on his feet, and coolly confronted them, when he was immediately identified by police constable Wheeler as Daniel Good, He did not utter a single word, but behaved in the most collected manner. He had previouly, in answer to questions from the Governor, stated that he was a widower, and had one child,. a boy, about 11 years of age. Knowing the anxiety manifested in the metropolis, and anxious to put the Folic: Commissioners in po , sesq-in of the important infor.i.ation, Mr. Mallelieu, without stopping, proceeded to London, leaving directions wit h Mr. Humphries to obtain the authority •of the nigistrate. fur the immediate delivery of Good into his custody, with instruc tions to bring him up to town immediately. Along - the whole line , if road Ora news uf the caption bad spread like wild re, and tke inhabitants of the various parishes on the Maidstone- roal, anxion,ly watched for the return of the post-chaise, and seemed greatly disappointed on the superin tendent returning alone. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. It aype-ss that about half-past five o'clock on Monday morning last, a man with a fustian jacket and trousers, with a dark waist coat, entered the Angel public-house, at the southern extremity of Tonbridge, with a hod, in which was found a small bundle, and addressing Mr. Adams, the landlord, asked him if he could assist him to a job as a bricklayer's labourer. Mr. Adaihs told him that there was a good deal of building going en in the neighbourhood, and it was very likely he would get some thing to do. The man upon this observed that if he procured work he would come to lodge at his house, and he then called for a penny loaf and a halt pint of beer, which he had. The appearance of the . m an was suc h as to raise considerable suspicion in the mind of Mr. Adams that it he was not what he represented himself to be, and the suspicion was considerably heightened by the fact of his having a perfectly new hod, a cir• cumstance of not very frequent occurrence among this frater nity, particularly in such times as the present ; but his attention was at the time taken off him by the arrival of other customers, to whom he had to attend, and lost sight of him for - tome time. At about ten o'clock Mr. George Steers, foreman to'Nlr. Barritt, a builder at Tunbridge Wells, and who is at present superin tending the building of some new cottages, between the Angel and the South Eastern terminus, called at the Angel, and the stranger having applied.to him, he at once engaged him, and set him to work. Before leaving the Angel the stranger told the landlord he expected a parcel by Mr. Friend's Sussex coach from Grim stead-green, and on the same afternoon a parcel, tied up in a blue cotton handkerchief, was 1. ft by Mrs. Friend, and kept with her. It evidently, as the landlord believes, contained wearing apparel; and on the same evening the man called and took it away, and Mr. Adams heard nothing more of him until Saturday mori.ing, when he was brought to his house by Mr. Humphries, an inspector of police on the South Eastern Rail way. From the Monday morning until Saturday morning the man continued to work, as before stated, and nothing par. titular occurred until about ten o'c'ock, when a person em• ployed on the railway works, named Colliflower, who had been observed two or three times before to scan the stranger with a very auspicious eye, informed Mr. Hunaphrses of his strong impression that he was the murderer of the female at Putney. This at once induced the inspector to narrowly observe the man, and he was instantly struck with his perfect likeness to that of the murderer described in the hand-bills and the Hue and Cry. He went up to him, and asked him if he would accompany him to the Angel, and take a glass of ale. The man, without much apparent surprise, or betraying any emotion that struck the officer, replied he had no objection, and both went to the Angel together. On reaching there Mr. Humphries took him into the parlour, and there left him in charge of constables Ladlow and Peckham, having first put a pair of handcuffs on, while he proceeded to his lodging, which was at the house of a basket:maker, named Harving, and after searching in his room he found the bundle described by Mr. Adams, and which had been re ce i ve d b y th e coach. On undoing the bundle, which was tied up in a blue handkerchief, he found it to contain a dark coat, a dark waist coat, a pa's o f drab breeches, and drab gaiters, all of which answered in every particular the dress the murderer wore when he escaped from the constable at Roehampton, and was last seen in town. There was also in the bundle a pair of cord breeches and a white muslin cravat, such as are worn by coachmen, and cer. tainly not by hodmen. On the constable Peckham entering the parlour of the Angel, he found the man still manacled and in a high agitated state, sitting close to the fire, and observing his making a strange sort of -movement with his hands, and shuffle something it:to the fireplace, which caused him to a,k, " What he. was at ?" The man replied," It is only my watch. The constable in stantly seized his hand, and in it found a fashionable and valu ab!e double-cased silver watch, engine -turned, such as are worn in the waistcoat pocket, with a blue ribbon and two seals attached. He did not ask a single question as to the cause of his apprehension. _ _ A number of persons employed at the railway here entered the house, and the officers, by the desire of the landlord, re moved their prisoner to an up-stair reom. .Here he again be same fidgetty, and seemed as if he wished to get rid of something from his right leg • and on exami n i ng t h e li m b . t h e of fi cer found, made fast to the garter, a purse containing 31. 179. 6d., `namely, three sovereigns, a half sovereign, and three half crowns. The prisoner appeared much chagrined at this dis covery ; and, upon further search, Peckham found inside his shirt a gold breast pin, with a large stone in it. Feeling something bulky on his right shoulder, the constable put in his hand and drew out a piece of padding, which, on ex amination, was discovered to consist of an. apron, which had evidently been made from a petticoat, and of material resem bling black muslin, in which was rolled a pair of cotton stock ing, marked "E. Gibbon." On examining the former, it was found to be much stained with blood, and the prisoner, when asked how he came to have such articles, and in such a place, said he had put them there to save his shoulder from the hod, but could not account for the stains of blood upon the apron. _ _ - At one o'clock ho was removed from the Angel to the office of Mr. Schoones, Clerk to the Magistrates, followed by an im mense concourse of persons. In a few minutes after Frederick Hare, Esq., a county Magistrate, attended, and the prisoner, who gave the name of Richard Hall, was arraigned before him. The Magistrate informed the prisoner of .the nature of the charge against him—namely, that of murdering a young woman, named Jane Jones, alias Good, and subsequently mutilating her body, on the premises of Mr. Shiell, at Roehanipton. The prisoner merely replied, " I am an innocent man; and evidence can be produced, before the twelve Judges, to prove it." __ _ Inspector Hurnphri , and constables Ledlow and Peck ham were examined, and deposed to the facts before stated. But the most important witness was the man Colliflower, who deposed that, about two years a g o, he belonged to th e tletro politan Polic e F orce , and had lien stationed at Putney • and had fr, quently seen the prisoner on th e p rem i ses o f Mr. Ale'', ant drive that gentleman's pair of ponies in his small carriage ; and he was quite confidant of his identity, as he had frequently given him a light. As the close of the evidence the prisoner, who, during the examination, had been evidently suffering from strong excite ment, merely repeated " he -,vas innocent, and he would be able to produce proif of it on another day." 'the prisoner was then remanded, and a light cart being in readines;, he was conveyed by the two constables, Ledlow and Peckham, to Maidstone gaol. On arriving at the village of Hadlovv, the prisoner entreated the officers to . p, rmit him to get shaved, though he scarcely required the operation, and they of course refused to comply with his request. On arriving at Merryworth, the next town, the prisoner made a similar request, but with more urgent solicitations, but was again refused. The officers ' however,' pulled up at th e King's Head Inn, at th a t pl ace to have some refreshment. and gave their prisoner some bread and cheese and beer, which he eat with apparently an excellent appetite. They then proceeded on the journey, and in passing the next village, Teston, the prisoner, fur the third time, entreated they would permit him to get shaved; and here his supposed object became apparent to the constables, and they, in consequence, kept a most vigilant eye upon him, and handed him over to Mr. Bone, the Governor of Maidstone county gaol, at 7 o'clock LATEST PA lt TIC ULARS. As has been previously stated, Good was expected to ar rive at the Greenwich police station, Blackheath-hill, ft om Maidstone, at about three o'clock yesterday afternoon, and a great crowd of people were congregated, anxious to get a glimpse of so notorious a character. About two o'clock a horse express was sent over to Woolwich to order the police van of the R. Division from thence to the Greenwich station, for the purpose of conveying the culprit to Bow -street. on his arrival. Upon the van reaching Greenwich the ex citement became intense, as it was fully expected that Good had been brought up by water, and had been brought by that rout, via Chatham, Gravesend, &c. ; and the people were accordingly disappointed in their expectations. 'I he next object of interest was the arrival of the " Favourite " Maidstone coach, which generally reaches Greenwich about ten, minutes before seven o'clock, and it having been rumoured that Good would arrive by that conveyance, the Blaekheath-road, and more particularly opposite to the station. house, was densely crowded by spectators. However, the coach arrived at near about its usual time, but did not stop, still the coachman pointed significantly to the rear, and the (in ference caught was, that he was not far behind. Shortly after seven o'clock a post-chaise was seen advancing down the hill, and a general rush took place towards the police station gates, and it was almost immediately ascertained that Good, guarded by Inspector Humphries, of the Dover line of rail way, and Wheeler, who had, on the previou3 night been down to Maidstone to identiry him, wer e contained therein. The gate was, as preconcerted, thrown open and the cEaise admit ted, when they were immediately closed, and Good was trans ferred to the R division police-van; and shortly afterwards, escorted by 170 Et and 83 R, horse-patrol, with a police-ser geant of the R di vision, Humpheri es , an d W heeler sitting in front of the vehicle, they proceeded to Bow street, where the criminal will be examined this day. On Saturday, the person called Molly Good, who passed for Good's wife, together with a man named Gammell, who was seen to leave her house, and in whose possession some of the garments which belonged to the murdered woman were found, were Lakin up on the charge of being aecessaries after the fact. In Gammell's apartment, it is said, several letters and other things were found which fix on him the charge of aiding Good to escape. Both have been committed to prison, and will be brought up for examination this day. At eight o'clock last evening Good arrived in a small, covered van, at the Bow street police station, from Alaidstone gaol. He was in the custody of Mr. Humphries, the superintendent, and three constables of the South Eastern Railway police, and it is said never spoke to either of them all the way up. Good made no ob.ervation upon his being placed in a cell at Bow street, and all the three prisoners now in custody appear to be determined upon preserving the most obstinate silence. 1 SUICIDE OF A RELIEVING OFFICER.—The little town of Shoreham, Sussex, was thrown into a state of considerable excitement yesterday (Thursday) morning by the report that Puttock, the relieving officer of the Steyning Union, had shot himself. 'The report proved to be true. Puttock resided near Bonfield, and was in the habit of attending the meetings of the Board of Guardians at Shoreham on Wednesdays. He drove to Shoreham on Wednesday afternoon; but, in stead of going to the meeting himself, he s"nt a boy with his bag. He put his horse and cart up at the Bridge Inn, which is occupied by Mr. Alechen, where he took some refreshment. Between five and six o'c'ock he went out, and shortly after he was gone some person came to inquire for.hirn. He wa,s not to be found. Ab out seven o'clock in the evening a little girl went. to th e water-closet at the back of Alechen's house, and finding the door fastened. she came away. Another person went to the place about a quarter before eleven, and the door was still fastened. The landlord was apprised of the circumstance, and he immediately took means to force the doer open, when he discovered the dead body of Puttock, with a pistol in each hand. It was evi • dent tat he had fired both pistols off; the first one had merely scarred his cheek, and the bullet was found in the wall; but the second one had taken a fatal effect,ihaving gone through the skull. The bullet was extracted by M r. Bore, surgeon, of Shoreham, from between the skull and the scalp. He had been relieving officer to the union ever since the passing of the New P o or-law Bill, but wh a t i n d uced him to pat au 'end to his existence wo have not heard. 0 United Se vice Gazett e o f S aturday states that bur Majesty been graciously pleased to direct the restora tion to the army of Captain Richard Anthony Reynolds, late of the 11th Hussars. He will be Gazetted in a few clays as a captain of the 9th Lancers, now tinder cyders for India. The Memorial of Pau gives the following as an additional instance of t h e d i sasters which attend the custom in that part of the country of letting off fire-arms at the celebra tion of weddings :._A s a bridal party were ret unlit?, from the Church of Lestelle, a few clays ago, one of them, instead of discharging his piece in the air, fired it horizontally, and lodged the wadding in the breast of a young man scarcely twenty years of age, the only support of an aged mother, and killed him on the spot. We learn from Alexandria, March 22, "that some French engineers have been sent by the Pacha to the mouth of the canal of Mahmoudie, on the great Nile, to establish locks, so that merchandise maybe forwarded without the necessity of unloading, PUBLIC OPINION. The Times thus congratulates Jonathan on his evincing symptoms of returning sense and moderation, as regards the question of the Creole, &c.:—" It is always with pleasure that we find ourselves able to say anything civil to our transatlantic relations; and we therefore lose not a moment in congratulat ing them upon the appearances of returning composure which the last news evidence. ,Already from the matter of the Creole some gleams of reviving sanity seem to be breaking upon their minds. T he Warspite, with its valued freight, then just rising above their eastern horizon, seems to have cast already a dim dawn of intelligence' before it. Already Jonathan begins to wonder how he could have made himself so exceedingly foolish. The south itself,' say their newspapers, would not go to war on the issue presented. The only question for the rpotent, grave, and reverend seigniors' (John Tpler at their head!) who form our first Executive Council is, how to back out from the ground just taken in the most graceful manner.' Doubt less it is a dilemma, and a perplexing one—the more so, be. cause it is entirely and exclusively of their own making. Eng land has had no share in the clatter. England has simply ab stained from interference with the cargo of slaves." We take the following from the Herald :—" We do not wonder that the propositions to admit fat cattle, at the low duty of 11. per head,. caused in the first instance some alarm. The agricultural interest were quite unprepared for it by any in formation on the subject, and equally so by any previous dis cussion of the effects likely to arise from so novel an experi ment. It was not at all understood how far the comparative cheapness of meat on the continent of Europe depended on the supply of fat cattle, and how far on the more abstinent habits of its population. Inquiry has in a great measure removed this cause of uneasiness. The cheapness of animal food in other countries has been found to arise, not so much from the great supply of it, as from the lesser demand for it. The supply for the internal consumption of each country has of course ►n some measure accommodated itself to the demand ; and, as the ordi nary price is a sure suck .c of the demand, we might have con cluded, from the first, that the stock of fat meat in any country would be regulated by the price of it." The Post says There are, we know, many, and among them those whom we respect highly, theethink it were better that Sir Robert Peel should not adhere so sternly to the regu lations of the new tariff They regret that he has made his tenure of office dependent upon carrying them. It is a nice question. Without, however, ass,: ting that all the regulations of the tariff are the best that could have been devised, or even nearly so, it may be arAuel that, since they have been pro posed, it is better t hat the Minister should adhere to them. The restoration of the finances is not more important than the resto ration of the character of. the British Government." The Chronicle has the following remarks The most im portant alteration in what is called the amended tariff, is that which postpones until the 12th October the :Omission of vari ous articles of animal food. The concession thus made is on many accounts not less discreditable to the Government than it is disadvantageous to the public. We have repeatedly de-s dared, not our entire satisfaction with the new arrangement of import duties, but our pleasure in the fact that something ►s thereby to' be done for the great mass of the people. In this respect, it beers a different character from the other measures of the new Premier. It is his own good work. Perhaps the very circumstance of its being in contrast with the accompany ing propositions of the Government, has disposed us to appre ciate it the more highly. With proportiouate regret do we find it belated as the only one in which the original plan is subjected to modifications at variance with the spirit in which it was conceived. Whatever presses hardly on the people is carried through the Legislature with a high hand; it is the measure of relief, and that only, which is found susceptible of chaii 6 e, and is pared down from its original amplitude." 1I r, r-TnAD-z-conalvxxacn.

MURDER AT STOUR ITRIDGE.—A tinker, named Simpson Shipstone, living with a woman who, by common re port, is the wi f e o f another man, kept . a lodging-house the Lower-lane, Coventry -street. The woman had two children, by her husband, the one about ten, and the other two years of age. On Wednesday night, it be.ng, late, Shipstune was heard by some lodgers as well as neighbours (the partitions of the house being thi n an d cracked), to come to the bed where the children slept, and viol en tl y s h a k e and strike the younger one, at the same time using the moat brutal language. The child continued moaning, and, some time afterwards, the man was heard to repeat the punishment. On the following mornin the child was dead. The parties were taken into custody, and an inquest was held before R. Docker, Esq., when much evi dence having been given as to the ill usage which the child had received on this and other occasions, a ve: diet of " Wilful Murder " was returned against Sampson Shipstone, and he was at once committed to our county gaol.
