P 1 IT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. Filo): THE EVENING I'API.;RS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—Our readers are aware that we are not friendly on principle to indefinite propositions for th( Extension of Suffrage, and for the framing of what it sometimes called a second Reform Act, though we art not blind to the imperfections and abuses of the present elective franchise. In reviewing last night's discussioi on the motion of Mr. Sharman Crawford, we cannot but feet:that there is some degree of falseness in the pos tion.of both parties: We do not say this to escapt from the explicit statement of our own views, whicl, we Will* never disguise frOm our readers on any question of national interest: But it does ap pear 'to us that there is some degree of vice it the arguments, or, at least, of imbecility in tin positiens, which are practically occupied by eacl. party—the advocates and the opponents of mea sures of. organic change. There are no two of tht former who seem agreed what change they shouk qdvocate. There are no two of the latter who art quite alike satisfied with the system they defend. While Mr. Roebuck and Dr. Bowring haVe no notion of any but numerical franchises, Mr. 'Ward is not pre pared to abandon all property qualifications. While s:r Robert Peel defends the Reform Act as something be was 'nowise responsible for, except to embrace the le4 of two evils in order to stave off the greater, Lord Stanley and . Sir James Graham have their ffitarof pars magna to proclaim, and put themselves coma:Ill in the front of the battle, as champions of the di6, Reform of Parliament. All these variations, which - hardly amount to serious discord within the walls of Parliament (excepting a note or two from the &embers for Bath and Stockport in a somewhat sharpof key), indicate that this question is not likely to present itself in a practical shape. It is, however, b e f o re such questions become urgent, that it will b e we ll for those who assume to take any part in public instruction to discuss them impartially. For our own part, in our opposition, on principle, to Uni versal Suffrage, and—in general —to all Reform of Reform which assumes numbers as its guiding rule, we do not solely rely on an opinion of popular igno rance. It is invidious to ascribe ignorance to any one class in particular; and it is difficult to prove in what degree ignorance or instruction characterise one class or other. 'The utmost extent to which the argument derived from assumed ignorance can go is, that--when numbers alone are made the basis of political repre sentation, whatever ignorance exists in the community is sure of represented. - STANDARD.—Very nearly half the community, that is, the minority at the election of representatives, are-bound by laws made by men whom they positively distrust and dislike; and in no sense can they be con sidered as consenting to such laws, except as they con sent at all to live under a representative constitution ; and this consent is the same whatever form that repre sentative constitution may take. How unjustly, then, was Sir Robert Peel blamed for not gravely answer ing the solemn trifling of the revived Cartwright, and for amusing himself and his hearers with the ludicrous reasoning of the triflers—Dr. Bowring's planetary and book--keeping arguments among the rest. By the way, we would remind Dr. Bowring that there are planets whose periods 'greatly exceed twelve months, and others the periOds of which fall short of that term ; and there are merchants who post their books qua;terly ; so that his argument is false in its premises, besides belonging to our chapter of false analogies. But how are argument's like this to be answered except by a smile ? Sir Robert Peel did, however, gravely and decisively meet the propo sition of Mr. Crawford, by pointing to the impos sibility of the country going in a current of revolu tions ; and by showing, from the variety of the propo sitions propounded by the different speakers, that to a current of revolutions, without end or respite, the country would be committed, by once more break ing up the Parliamentary constitution. Sir Robert Peel might have added, that the current would not stop with political alterations, but having done its work with them, must, in the end, overwhelm property. For our own part, we can see one hundredfold more and stronger arguments for an agrarian distribution •of property than for any political reform ; and if the people are to be all charged with the office of legisla tion, and have nothing else to think of, they will not be slOw to discover arguments so seemingly profit able to the vast majority. This hint ought not to be lost On Mr. Cobden, and his worthy partners, in the more than worth of the land of the United Kingdom, which the millowners boast to have acquired in 25 years • nor ought it to be lost upon the aristocracy. CO(JRIER.--:There is, in fact, no electi on law in Ireland except what Committees of the House of Commons enact, and that which - is strict law with one Committee, another, sitting in the next room, and at the same time,_ pronounces to be a grievous wrong. It is not now for the first time that a know ledge of this unsatisfactory and disgraceful state of the law reached the Legislature. Immediately after the general elections of 1835 and 1837, the glaring evils of the system became perfectly appa rent, :uid the then Government affected to deplore and pronti,4ed to remedy them. Session after session the Irish law officers of the Crown introduced, what they termed declaratory acts, but, session after session, these were allowed quietly to drop off tO w.rds the close. Early in 1840 Lord Stanley, aided by Mr. Emerson Tennent, took the subject in hand ; but, at that period,' parties were too equally balanced in the House of Commons to admit of the success of Lord Stanley's admirable measure. What; we should like to know, has become of that Bill ? It posSessed all the materials of a searching and effectual remedy, and, if tempered a little, and purged of any thing that could be construed into harshness, it would, we have no doubt, receive the support of a very large majority in the present House of Commons. We have heard, it is true, that an attempt will be made to assimilate the laws that regulate the franchise in Ireland to those which obtain in this coun try, 'and that, for the purpose, one comprehen sive measure of election reform will be in troduced. We are not disposed to under-rate the value of uniformity, but to such a course 'of proceed ing we discern many grave objections. The qua lifications and descriptions of electors, in both coun tries, do not correspond, and therefore we consider any attempt to introduce uniformity in matters es sentially different will signally fail. It were far better to confine the remedy to the specific evils complained of, than to endeavour to apply one grand panacea. We have but little confidence in that system of char latanism which aims at the cure of various distempers by the same means, whether in a medical or political point of view. :VIORTALITY in the METROPOLIS. 1.1,e following ar3 the results of " A Table of Mortality in the Sfetrop3l:A, showing the Number of Deaths from all Causes Registered in the week ending April 16, 1842."

HOUSE OF LORDS, April 22. The House sat to-day to hear appeals. The Peers present. were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, and Lord Campbell. CHARTER V. SIR J. TREITELYAN The further arguments in this part-heard appeal were re sumed to•day, but not having concluded at four o'clock, the farther consideration of the case was adjourned to Monday. WHITE V. CUDDEN-.JUDGMENT. Lord COTTENHAM gave judgment in this case, which was argued a few days since, reversing the judgment of the court below. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, April 22. (Before the. VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.), CHUBB V. COOPER AND ANOTHER. This was an injunction bill filed by the plaintiffs, Messrs. Chubb and Son, of St. Paul's Churchyard, the well-known manufacturers of patent locks and patent iron safes, against the defendants, one of whom was a lock-maker, and the other a factor at Wolverhampton, and it sought to restrain the defendants from manufac turing or selling any locks or keys made in imitation of Messrs. Chubb's locks, and stamped with their name or trade marks. It appeared that the plaintiffs were patentees under three successive patents, for various improvements in the construction of locks, called by them, and now gene rally known as their patent detector locks. The first two of these patents having expired, the defendants had made locks upon those principles, which it was not denied they had a perfect rig ht to do •, but Messrs. Chubb's complaint was that the defendants had like wise stamped upon their, locks the name of Chubb, sur mounted with a crown, and accompanied with other words very similar to those stamped by Messrs. Chubb on the loCks of their own manufacture. It appeared that purchasers had been deceived by the name and marks on the defendant's locks and keys into the belief that they were genuine locks of the plaintiff's' make. The way in which this practice came to the knowledge of Messrs. Chubb was as follows :—A gentleman of the name of Jessell, a customer of their house, had ordered his car penter to procure and put on several of the plaintiffs' patent detector locks. This carpenter applied to an iromnon monger near by, and he was supplied with three other locks made by the defendants, and stamped and marked as above described. The difference was not dis covered by Mr. Jessell until some time after ; Mr. Jessell happening accidentally to apply to one of the locks the key of a similar lock, to his surprise found that these locks were next to useless. This circumstance caused him to complain to the plaintiffs, who obtained his permission to examine the three locks, and the dis covery was made that their customer had been imposed upon by a spurious article of, interior workmanship. Upon inquiry, the locks in question were traced to the defendants, against whom the present bill was filed, and Mr. Bacon now applied for an injunction, in order to put a stop to such.a practice for the future. The defendants, for whom Mr. Hinton appeared, ac knoWledged that they had been acting under a mistaken view of the law, and consented to an order for the in junction being made ; and upon the defendants under taking to obliterate the plaintiffs' name from all locks remaining unsold, and to deliver up all punches having the name of Chubb upon them, the plaintiffs consented to stay all further proceedings in the suit, for which the defendants, by their Counsel, expressed themselves grateful. An order was accordingly made conformably with this arrangement. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, April 22 WILLIAMS AND MOTTRAM'S BANKRUPTCY.-TILE LINEN• DRAPERY TRADE. In this case the bankrupts appeared before the Court on their adjourned examinations. A large number of creditors were present. Mr. Maynard appeared, as on a former-occasion, for the assignees ; and Mr. Wright, as counsel, assisted by Mr. Van Sandau, for one or both of the bankrupts. Charles Mottram examined by Mr. Maynard—At my last examination I gave an account of the liquidation of my affairs at the house in Lamb's Conduit-street. The sum was 7,7041. 12s. 1 Id., and 1,500/. for other property; and when I left Lamb's Conduit-street, I considered my self to be worth 4,0001. Mr. Maynard—Was there, at that, time, a balance in your favour ? Mottrarn—There was ; and here I must complain of certain statements in the public papers. Mr. Commissioner EVANS —Ne ver mind the papers, but answer the questions put to you. The bankrupt Mottrarn—There was 1,8001. went to Wood-street, and my house and furniture at Highbury I considered worth something, beside other property ; making a total, with debts, of about 4,000/. Mr. Maynard—Where will that appear ? The bankrupt Mottram—ln my books. The only means I have of forming any opinion is from the books. In the private ledger, headed Charles Mottram, L. C. S., it appears that I brought into the concern in Wood street 1,8361. 10s. 5d., and I was indebted 2,800/. to my father-in-law, the whole of which remained when the balance of 1,8361. 10s. 5d., was made up. The means I had to pay the debt due to my father-in-law consisted of the balance of 1,836/. 10s. 5d., 2,776/. Bs. 10d. uncollected debts due to me from Lamb's Conduit -street, and my property at Highbury, which I considered worth from 1,200/. to 1,5001. The state of my private account with Mottram and Moore at the time I stopped payment was a balance of 7041. ls. 10d., and a family account for dra pery of 'about 2GO/. The account produced by Inc at a former examination shows how the balance of 7041. is. 10d. is made up. In that account I give credit for two acceptances of Mottram and Moore for 750/. each, part of which, I believe, is now owing to the parties now holding these acceptances. The bill of 337/. 10s. 6d. was not paid to Dixon and Co., but was the amount of a returned bill, which we paid. After that sum I find a bill, as paid to Knowles, . _ _ of 3371. 10s. 6d. I believe that sum to be the amount o a bill for 3371. Bs., and 2s. 6d. for noting.. There cer tainly was a payment made to warrant the entry of 3371 10s. 6d. I cannot tell to whom that bill was paid. I be lieve to .114ennah and Lawes, or to S. F. Stephens. lam sure to one of them. _ Mr. Maynard—On lookinz at these books, it appears the bankrupts have taken credit for that bill twice, and would have to account for the extra amount in the balance cash-book ; we have it in the sum of 1,9321., and afterwards find it entered as a bill of 3371. 10s. 6d. Mr. Commissioner EVANS—In these books it certainly appears to be entered twice; on the 29th October it is entered 337/. 10s. 6d., and added up on the amount of 1,9321., and after that you have it entered 3371. 10s. 6d. The bankrupt Mottram—lt appears to be entered twice, but'if so, it is erroneous ; 1 am sure it was not paid twice. Mr. Maynard—Can you state what you paid Dixon and Co., after the 28th of October, on Mottram and Moore's account ? The bankrupt Mottram-1 think about 3,200/. and 5401. on the 27th of October. They did not owe us any money, but we did them. My part ner, I believe, made a sale to Messrs. Cowper in October. I believe about the 27th or 28th, though the goods are entered on the 26th. The amount stated is 155/. 17s. Mr. Maynard—Was the rate entered in your books a' he time it was made ?—I believe not, Sir. It was en. tered in our books, when we made them up after the bankruptcy, but it is usual, and might have beeu made in a memorandum-book or on a paper. Mr. Williams would have to make it. The date now stated is the 26th, but, as I said betl)re, I believe that to be erroneous, as the fact was the sale was made on the 27th or 28th. The money, I believe, was paid fur those goods. The receipt or the money was not entered at the time. Ido nut know whether these goods • were sold at • profit or loss, as tdo not know the cost price, or the price at which they were sold. The gross amount received for that . sale came into our concern, and has since been disbursed. Mr. Maynard—What did you draw out fur yourz.elf on or after the 6th of October ?—About 1,3001. ; I drew that out to pay debts I owed, principally private debts, and fur hotu,keeping,. I drew that sum on the Ist, 2d, and 3d of November, to pay my private debts. Mr. Commissioner EvANs—Dbt you ever draw out so large a sum before ? that is the question. The bank rupt—Never be!om kr. CoMMissioner EVANS—Then why did you do it on the present occasion ? The bankrupt—l knew I owed private debts, and saw my difficulty on the 3d of the mouth, which was the reason why I did it. Mr. Commissioner EvaNtsllid you think you would be a bankrupt ? The bankrupt—l did not, Sir. In con tinuation, to answers put by Mr. Maynard, he said— I made a payment. on or about the 2d or 3d of November, of 2581. I Is., a bill of George Austin, of Gloucester street, Queen-square, which he had accommodated me t‘ith. The bill was not then due, but would be dire in January ; it waA an accommodation acceptance of Austin to us. I gave the money to my brother, Mr. Pryce Mottram. I have charged myself individually with that 2581. I Is., but it is not included in the 1,3001. A clerk of our house took the bill up. I made a pay ment to Turner and Heitsman about' this period, No vember 2. of 1,000/. on account of loans to our firm on the 9th and 14th of October. The receipt of those loans were not entered in the cash-book at the time ; they were in the banker's . book ; in tact, the money was paid into the hanker's. Mad e a payment to Messrs. Bennett about that time. We gave him 184/ Cs. 3d. in bills. He did not show us the bills. On the 4th of November I paid Mr. Richardson 186/. Cs. 9d., for services and balance of account, which appears in our books. The accounts I have put in to-day will show how I disposed of the 1,300/. The state of Our accounts with Turner and Ilenaman is, that we now ow e t h em 1,123 1 12:-L 3d., a cash account, Independent of charges for costs, &c. They have secu rity for it. Sir. Commissioner EVANS—You say here in your separate balance -sheet, that from DeCember to tne pre sent time you have been living at the rate of pO/. a-year out of the money y ou h ave poc k e t e d from your creditors. The bankrupt Ch ar l es M ottram —Y es ; b u t I h a d 14 children to support ; Mr. Commissioner I ti i] l v e A y N (s.osualiddn, not t h s a t t was arve. always the plea ; there was n o necess i t y f or it, if the bankrupt h a d himself properly. The bankrupt Ch ar l es M ottram sa id, th e ass i gnees would allow him a farthing. conductednot Mr. Commissioner EVANS—Although this may be the case, you ought not to support your family at the expense of your creditors. Mr. Maynard said, the assigness could not in justice to themselves allow the bankrupt anything, his conduct as a tradesman had been so disgraceful. When he came and represented that ho had not a shilling, he must have had the money in his pocket at time very moment. The bankrupt Ch ar l es M ottram , e x ami ne d by M r . Maynard.---J do not recollect a sale to Lewis and Allenby in the month of November, nor the receipt of the money. Mr. Maynard—This transaction does hot appear in the books,. either in the shape of a sale or a receipt for money. The bankrupt Williams examined.—l sold the goods, but I never received the money. I have heard or this subject before. • Mr, Maynard—From whom ? . The bankrupt.. Wil liams—From Mottram; he told me he received the money from Parr. (Murmurs ran through the Court.) The bankrupt Williams (addressing the Commis sioner)—You see, Sir, I am here in a very painful situa tion; I must either disprove what my partner has already testified, or stand a perjured man before you. Mr. Commissioner EVANS-It IS SO; but you must do your duty to yourself, the Court, and the public. The bankrupt Charles Mottram, recalled—l do now recollect the sale to Lewis and Allenby. The money went into the countinghouse . It was the sum o f 281., b u t was not entered in the books. It forms no part, to the best of my belief, of the monies I drew out. Mr. Commissioner EVANS—Do you think that is the only omission? The bankrupt—l believe it to be so. Mr. Commissioner EVANS told the bankrupt he would have to give credit for it. The whole case was one of a most outrageous character. Here were they charging 21,5001. expenses, 7,4001. for their own expenses, while their profits were only 5,7831. If there was any further concealment, they had better at once disclose it. _ _ _ _ The bankrupt Williams (examined by Mr. Maynard) —I recollect the sale of goods to Messrs. Cowper. Mr. Mottram returned on the morning of the 27th, the day the goods were sold, from Manchester, and he was pre sent at the time of • the sale. They were sold for 5561. 17s. I think there was a loss upon them of 15 to 20 per cent., but I cannot state exactly. They were various kinds of goods. On the 27th of October I know our credit was gone in the French market, we having received a letter on the 22d, stating that goods which I had purchased would not be sent. That letter, I believe, was - destroyed. Mottram was present when that letter was destroyed. The money for the goods sold to Cowpers was received on that day or the following morning. The sale of those goods was not entered in our book. The reason why the entry was not made was because Mr. Mottram and myself divided the money. I mean we divided the identical money. On the Ist of November I knew our firm would not continue its payments. I received goods which I had purchased in Paris on the 3d of November. Mr. Mott rain announced to me officially, as I may term it, on the Ist of November, that we could not go on. On the evening of the 3d of November (the same day the French goods came in), we made a sale of French shawls to Martin, Abbott, and Co., of Aldermanbury, I think to the amount of 9061. Ido net think there was a great loss. It might have been 10 or 12i per cent. We were paid the following day. That sale was not entered at the time in the books, nor the receipt of the cash, and the proceeds were appropriated in the same way as the money received from Messrs. Cowper. We had, three months prior to our stoppage, made forced sales in the same way to meet our payments. I recollect a sale we made to Spence and Baggeley about September 12th, to the extent of about 2,0001. We had orders from the counting-house, when we were pressed for payments, and hence it was that we were obliged to absorb the stock in proportion to meet them. Mr. Pryce Mottram bought goods after he made the communication to me on the Ist of November. At. these times, when we divided the money, as stated, the amount was entered, but not as we received it. Other entries were substituted, instead of the lumping sums, falsely stating what the money was appropriated for. Mr. Mottram and myself did that in Mr. Mottram's private counting-house. The disburse ment of the money I received will be shown in my cor rected private balance-sheet, part of which I have handed over to the official assignees, viz. 2001. The bankrupt Williams, in answer to further ques tions said, that with respect to the execution put in by Mr. Moore, Mr. Mottram's father-in-law, he heard Mr. Mottram say, " Now, Sir, you must never allow that this was concocted between us, but you must say that you came into the City and heard accidentally that we were in difficulties, and then went to your solicitor and entered up the bond." That was the first time I ever heard of a bond being in existence, for you will under stand it was a matter of discussion when we first entered partnership, whether any one of us had given a bond, and it was said not. Mr. Mottram, who had been reading his depositions during the examination of Williams, said that Mr. Wil liams had in his evidence called to his (Mr. Mottram's) mind that he had received money from Parr, who had been paid by Lewis and Allenby. He admitted it sub sequently, and wished his deposition to so accord. Mr. Commissioner EVANS . told Mottram there was still time for him to make a full and true disclosure, and he hoped on Thursday, to which day he should adjourn the case, he would do so. He could not but say that the affair of the salary-book pressed much on his mind ; it was quite absurd to speak of the amounts of the ex penses as 21,0001. The examination was then adjourned, it being after four o'clock. The total of debts proved up to the present date is 77,717/. 18s. 3d, and the assets realized up to the date of the audit, the 23d of March, 7,8271. ss. 3d. THE WAR. IN AFFGHANISTAN. (From the Caledonian Mercury.) We have been favoured with the following interesting communication from India, by the kindness of a gentle man resident in this city. It is written by Dr. Harper, 64th Regiment, and dated " Camp, Kuwulnir, Jan. 31, 1842. "My dear Brother,-1 wrote to (another bro ther) last month, but God knows if ever it reached him —the safe conveyance of letters from this place being very uncertain, owing to the very disturbed state of the country. I have just returned from a miraculous escape of being both starved and shot. Ido not suppose that two regiments ever made so narrow an escape ; but I must give you a description of it, that you may be able to understand it. Our brigade arrived here on Christmas day, consisting of four corps, a company of sappers and miners, a company of artillery, and a risallah of local horse ; but we found that the whole country was up in arms againstus—that is, through the Khyber Pass, which I dare say you have heard a great deal about. Well, our brigade being totally inadequate to force it, we made up our minds that we would be kept here until another and stronger force joined us, which were on their road through the Penyously. However, one fine even -41,g, when we were all sitting at mess very comfortably, about eight o'clock P.m., in came, an order from the secret and political authorities, ordering two corps, viz., ours and the 53d, to get under arms with the least pos-' sible noise, and march that same evening at ten o'clock p.m.,. towards a fort called Alli Musjid, situated sixteen miles into the Whylia Pass. Never was such a mad project attempted. Thanks to the accursed stupidity of our politicals, even the Khybers themselves did not sup pose that we were such idiots, as was evidently shown by their not having the slightest idea of our intended advance. We marched all night, having had only three shots fired at us, and reached the fort, our place of desti nation, about eight 'o'clock next morning. By this time the enemy discovered our trick, and began to collect in considerable force. There was some sharp skirmishing. However, we took the fort, having had only twelve men wounded—one officer severely. We got securely into the fort, and crowned all the heights around; so that we were safe enough from the fire of the enemy. But alas ! .we found that we had only four days' provisions. The fort is one of the most miserable places you can imagine. No shelter whatever ; and we were not allowed to take our tents with us—so that the privations we suffered were beyond all description. In the first place, we were put on half rations of the very worst kind, and we were obliged to sleep out under the wide canopy of heaven for eight nights, with the rain pouring incessantly on us, and with a temperature below freezing point. The fol lowing morning, after we left this place, the other two regiments, with the artillery, sappers, and miners, &c., attempted to force the pass to come to our assistance, but the whale country was up in arms, and they were repelled at the , very entrance of the pass, with great slaughter. They made the same attempt two or three successive days, but with like ill fortune. Our brigadier and the major of brigade at the very first onset, together with some 15 or 16 officers, and God knows how many men, finding that it was impossible to come to our succour, and knowing that we must be soon starved out, the politicals offered the Khyber chiefs 5,000/. sterling to allow our two corps to return ; but SO exasperated were they at the trick we had played them, that they answered " No, you may give us your money, but we will cut the throats of every one we have secured in the fort." You will see that we were rather in an unpleasant situation. We remained in the fort for nine days, until we had not a single scrap to eat; and not seeing any.assistance coining to our aid,. we were compelled to come to the determination of cutting our way back. On the morning of the 25th:instant we sallied out, but had not got outside the fort when a volley opened on us, from wheme we knew not, every man being behind. a rock, with a rifle in his hand of up wards of six feet in length. Our muskets had not the slightest chance with them. They could knock us over at a distance our musketry had not the slightest chance of reaching. This destructive fire was kept up during the whole of . the long march ; anti when we had got about half way through the pass, we found it was stopped by a wall of twelve feet high and about ten broad, of blocks of rock intermingled with thorns. Here we were at a stand, with the murderous villains pour ing their unceasing fire on us. We immediately, _ how ever, got up the sappers and miners, and blew up and pulled down the obstruction. Most fortunately for us, the force that u e had left here concluded that we must make the attempt, on that day, to cut our way through, and they made a demonstration at the mouth of the pass, and, entering it, and • crowning the heights about the mouth of it, kept up a perpetual fire ; otherwise every man of us must have been massacred. We, however, arrived here about three o'clock, P.M., although with fearful loss. We had in our own corps alone 178 killed and wounded ; the 53d Regiment about as many ; and, I suppose, out of the whole brigade, not less than 600 men, and from 20 to 25 officers killed and wounded. " I was walking at the head of our regiment with the commanding officer, as good a fellow as ever lived—a Scotchman ! (he and I were bosom friends), and Lieu tenant ltattray. The balls were whizzing about us like as many peas—men falling on all sides of us—when poor Wilson remarked to me, Isn't it wonderful th a t we thr ee have escaped all these alls so long ? "The words were not well out of his mouth, when a ball struck him on the left breast and came out at his back-bone. He im mediately fell. I lifted him up, but lie never made the slightest attempt to speak, and died almost immediately. I had scarcely ordered him to be carried off, when a ball struck Rattray, entering the fleshy part of his fore arm, passing throfigh,_ and it was found the next morning flattened, and deeply imbedded in the hilt of his sword. But for. this he must have been shot dead. He is, however, doing well. But poor Wilson's death is one of a most melancholy description. He had just returned from England with a most beautiful lady —his wife. I delivered her of a son and heir at Feroze pore. They were the happiest couple I ever saw. But, poor fellow ! he seemed to have a presentiment that he was to fall. He said to me when we were in the fort, Harper ! if anything happens to me write to my poor, poor wife.' I pretended to laugh him out of it. He said, I'll do the same for you should anything happen to you.' Poor lady ! what a trial it will be for her when she gets my letter. I think I forgot to mention that we lost all our baggage, horses, &c.. They all fell into the hands of the enemy. I lost every article I had with me ; and what .I regret most is the loss of two beau. iful Arab horses that I would not have taken 1501. for. Well, here we are waiting for reinforcements, which wil] alive in a few days, when we are again to attempt - ,o force the paSs, although it is the act of madme) to attempt it with any force, as there is no climb' but one thousand determined men could hold ii against any force we could bring against theM. The most frightful sight throughout the whole day's en gagement was just as we were , ifetting out of the pass. Captain Locke had crowned a height with his company, and after getting fairly possession of it, he ordered his men to advance to take another hill. They, had not left him one hundred yards, when two or three of the enemy rushed in on him. He fired his pistol at one of them, but unfortunately missed him. They immediately car ried him off to a high hill, and, in sight of us all, stripped him naked, and. then cut his throat, severed his head from his body, and carried it away, a very considerable reward being given by the chiefs for every Faringee (European) head. Of course you have heard of our awful disaster in Caubul. Our army there has been mas sacred almost to a man. God know what steps the Government will take when they hear of it. I supose I have given you enough of this. I have' upwards of 200 patients in the hospital, so that every hour of my time is occupied. Lots of surgical operations to per form. What think you of taking off five limbs in one day ? lam regularly fagged, and what is worse still, I have pricked the middle finger and thumb of my right hand, so that I am nearly unable to hold the p4ll, although I have wrote you such a long letter. lam very uneasy about my fingers, as I am afraid some putrid matter has got into the wound." CHINA. We find the following article in a recent number of the Debats on the war in China, which is not without interest, as showing the view taken of it by that jour nal. There are in it some facts which have already been before our readers, but we could not separate them from the comments of our Contemporary with out risk of giving the latter unfaithfully. The Debats says _ _ The marvellous facility of the victories hitherto gained by the English is easily explained by the im mense superiority of the arms they use. In every action they have yet fought, excepting one, they com menced the attack with their vessels of war, whilst, with their thirty and eighty pounders, they destroyed at leisure the miserable fortifications of their enemies. To disembark, then, and finish the rout was a mere amusement. During the two years that the war has lasted, the Chinese have made extraordinary im provements in their gunnery. In 1839, Commis sioner Lin promised enormous sums to any one who would produce a 30 pounder, for it appears that then, perhaps, not a single one could be found in the whole of China. At present the English find in abundance pieces of this calibre, and even greater. It is also in vain for them to destroy ; the Chinese Government, which is represented in the English accounts as altoge ther without resources, repairs and renews with won derful facility. If the private letters which arrive are to be believed, there cannot be less than 400 pieces of can non in the fortifications which the Chinese have erected neighbourhood of Canton, since the month of May in:the last. With respect to portative arms, the superiority of the. English is the same as for the larger pieces. What can an unfortunate Chinese, embarrassed with a huge bow six feet long, a heavy quiver, a useless shield, and often a lance, whose only effective weapon is the matchlock, what can such a being do against the musket, with bayonet and percussion lock of the Eng lish soldier ? But, on this point, the Chinese are also making efforts to place themselves on an equality with their adversaries. The Government of Canton possesses at present, it is said, 15 or 20,000 muskets of European manufacture, which will doubtless serve as models to Chinese industry, whose wonderful powers of imitation are so well known. As to the source from whence the arms are obtained, we can believe without much difficulty the report that, for the most part, they have not been brought directly to Canton or Macao by European traders, but have been pur chased in India, Batavia, or Manilla, for the Chi nese, by some of those numerous col on i s t s w hi c h are in the habit of constantly communicating with China. It is also said that they have got up the cannons of the French vessel Magicienne, lost last year on the Palavan bank, near Manilia, and that these pieces are at present on the ramparts of Canton. In everything relating to the art of fortification also, the same im provement has taken place. The English officers who have lately: visited those works recently raised about Canton declare that they are infinitely su p er i or t o everything hitherto done by the Chinese. In place of granite walls, of which the splinters are so dan gerous for the defenders, the ramparts are con structed as in Europe of earth, in which the bullet disappears. In place of a continued wall, presenting one line of fire to the enemy, they have now erected works with projecting and retreating angles, al lowing a great mass of fire to be poured from cross-batteries on the same point. The report is, that these works have been con structed under the direction of European officers, whose names even have reached us. To judge by the Ho -Hong Gazette, which mentions the names of Van Schulte, Van Bralam, and Van Schruick, these officers must have belonged to the Dutch engineering department. All these circumstances, joined to the deplorable state of commercial affairs, excite serious reflections respecting the future, and increase to the highest degree the ill-humour of the English who are established in China. Sir H. Pottinger, who was welcomed, a few months ago, with such lively demon strations of joy, is now no better treated than was Captain Elliott. During 1841, only fifteen millions of pounds of- tea were exported for England, whereas, in former years, the exports amounted to 32 or even 34 millions." THE NitTIONAL DEBT. (From the Renfrewshire Reformer of Saturday.) On Thursday evening, Mr. Wallace was to move for a Select Committee to inquire into the effects pro duced on the industry and capital of the country, and on its ability to bear, in the present depressed state of its trade and manufactures, the amount and pressure of taxation now required to pay the interest of the National Debt, and the rapidly-increasing public burdens, in a metallic currency, to which heavy additional charge the nation was suddenly subjected in the • year 1819, in consequence of Parliament hastily agreeing to convert the immense amount of depreciated paper money, resorted to during a long war, into a metallic currency, according with the ancient standard value of gold. In addition to the above, Mr. Wallace has given notice for a return, showing, in columns, the amount, in round numbers, of the National Debt in each year, and in each ten years, since 1789 to 1842 inclusive. Also, as above, the average price of the Three per Cent. Consols in each of the years, or as near the average as can conveniently be given. We trust the Member for Greenock will succeed in carrying both motions, because it is to the amount of the N - ational Debt, and the taxes required to pay the interest, that the nation is mainly indebted for all the evils it labours , under, and this burden, and the ruinous consequences that have "followed it, have been greatly aggravated by what Mr. Wallace's motion properly expresses, " the converting of a depreciated currency resorted to during the war into a metallic currency ;" or in other words, making the depreciated notes not worth more than fourteen or fifteen shillings each, payable in sovereigns worth twenty shillings. Although our stupid Tariff and Custom-house laws have had much influence in producing the present wide-spread misery, their evil influences has been but slight compared with the enormous burden borne by the country to pay the' interest of the Debt; a burden greatly aggravated by Sir R. Peel's mea sures of 1819, for converting the paper fourteen shil lings, promises to pay, into the value of sovereigns. From that period to the present the country has never known five years' steady business at a time. The twenty-three years which have elapsed have been a constant succession of ruinous convulsions every few years, each paroxysm worse, and longer continued than its predecessor, and every throw sinking the working population some degrees below what they were left by its predecessor. During the legis lative career of Sir R. Peel, which we have alluded to, device on device to amend the evil has been pro jected, and scheme upon scheme has been put in exe cution to avert its influence, but without effect. Last year we had the prop osa l s of Lord John Russell, and now, when the disease approaches a climax, we have the new proposals of Sir R. Peel, Which at the best can but shift the load from the one shoulder to the other. We have again to express our hope that . Mr. W a l.- lace will obtain his Committee to inquire into these questions ponnected with the working of the debt, though we •should have been rather more certain of success had his motion been deferred till the ne w tariff is put fairly in operation. We are quite aware that whether it is Sir Robert Peel or Lord John Russell that is in power, they have no alterna tive but to go on—they must do something to relieve the manufacturers, and that only at the expense of the. landholders; but we wish no unnecessary alarm to mitigate the measure. We wish but all the benefits of the tariff secured, and although Mr. Wallace should be defeated for the present, we are quite certain, as soon as the fruits of that measure are but experienced, he will,find abundant support for his Committoe to inquire into the workings of the Debt. --- DUDLEY. -- A dreadful affray occurred in this town, early in the morning of Tuesday, the 12th inst., between two brothers-in-law, named James Bunn and Solomon Robinson, which terminated in the death of the latter. On their way together a quarrel ensued between them, and on going out to fight, Robinson was knocked down by Bunn. When he was down, he ( Bunn) commenced kicking him most brutally_ in the abdomen till he was in an app ii ent l y l i f e l ess con dition. The poor fellow was taken home and every assistance afforded him but all efforts were unavailing, and after suffering great torture he expired on Wednesday morning. The inquest was held be fore Wm. Robinson, Esq.., when the Jury returned a verdict of "Minslaughter " against Bunn, and the Coroner made out his warrant of committal. He is accordingly now in Worcester gaol, and will take his trial at the forthcoming assizes. Worcestershire Chronicle. MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
