The Tory farmers and lairds of the north must feel sorely mortified by their present forlorn and helpless condition. For the last eight years they have spared neither money nor labour to return a majority of Con sidrvatives to Parliament, in order to bring into office Sir RonEirt PEEI,, his Grace of BUCKINGHAM; the " farm ers' friend," and . that able financier, Mr. GOULBURN. Their purpose was accomplished, though not by majorities from Scotland ; and what is the result? The whole sys tem of taxation is changed. An income tax is to be im p..sed without their consent, and almost without their knowledge, and many of the custom s ' d ut i es so al tere'l.s to injure them materially, without benefiting the trade and manufactures of the country. To do the great body of the electors justice, however, they did not look upon a PEEL Cabinet with the same complacency as these purblind Tories. They preferred the ills they knew -to those that another system might produce ; they returned a majority in favour of the extensive measures of commercial reform proposed by Lord JOHN itUESELL, and the result has only made ma nifest their Jtidgrilent and foresight. . The new • scheme will work most injuriously for Scotland. Since the . use of steam-boats has become so common, a large coasting trade has been carried on in cattle, sheep, fish, and other productions of the country for the London market, :is well as the interior., The permission, according to the new tariff, to import live cattle at a moderate rate of duty, and fish duty free, will of course raise a gene ral outcry all along the eastern coast of Scotland, and the excitement will not at all be lesSened by the deterinination .of the Tory Premier to im pose an income tax on. the parties, who will thus be .the-• greatest sufferers. When the proposed changes Ate fairly understood, Scotland, almost to a ntan, will be opposed to them, and we need not wonder, therefore, that such eagerness has been displayed to make the measure irrevocable before the sense of the country can be ascertained. Even the Tory landlords will soon find that they have made a bad bargain in exchanging Lord JOHN RUSSELL for Sir ROBERT PEEL. With a fixed duty on grain, a great reduction in sugar, O-)ffee, and other Colonial produce, and a judicious alte ration in the timber duties, they would still have suc cessfully competed with the growers of foreign eorn, while an impulse would hive; been given to our manu factures, and the demands for agricultural produce in the home market been greatly increased. Have they any such prospects froer the•new tax and the new tariff ? We wish them joy of their bargain, The statement made by Lord STANLEY in the House of Commons last night respecting the condition of the Negroes in our West Indian Colonies will gladden the hearts of the friends- of ematteipation throughout the world. The question of the morel inferiority of the Negro race is for ever set at rest by the gratifying facts which the Noble Lord communicated to the House on the high authorityof the Governors ofJamaica and Demerara. In the year 1840, the Governor of Jamaica, Sir CII.UILES 111KreALrE, reported the condition of the coloured pep lation.of that island to be ,most gratifying. They -en-. joyed not only the necessaries, but most of the - comforts of life ; they were well clothed ; sent their children to best schools ; were in a condition to sub scribe for the building of churches and chapels ; were. regular in their attendance at • places of Divite worship ; and were free from crime. All this is exceedingly „gratifying, and the only drawback upon the • icasure with which we record it, is, that •no such .account can be given of the condition of the white la bouring population of England. We rejoice that the korerninent has made a paradise of the West Indies ; lint it would greatly increase • our delight were a prospect held out that similar effOrts would ix) • made' to place the social condition of the whites ~t England on a level with the .blacks of Jamaica. Lord speech supplies materials for some oh:len-a whieh we have not room for to-day, but the sub ject is .altogether so important that we shall return to it. We have , received - * file of Port Nicholson (Xeiv .7,l , aland) papers to the 6th of November inclusive: .7E. New Zealand Gciiilte of the latest date says that Ow' state of the colony is thoroughly sound, anti that commerce and agricultUre are ulanifestly increasing. 11, proportion, as the settlers become acquainted it 4 the climate and the owellence .of their position, the conviction strengthen that their 'sue ,:from these -Sources of colonial prosperity Wig be very great. Port Nicholson is rapidly r:i,;71, , ..; into commercial importance. Whalers were be -I.*ining to see!: supplies there instead of going to Syd ney, and the town offered a very good market for Oil and - Whalebone. Instead of obtaining supplies of English goods by way of Sydney" the Garettc recommends a direst trade between the ports of New Zealand and those - of the mother country. The articles most Ivanted are whaling stores, materials for ship-build ini;, exclusive of timber, such as rigging, anchors, cable;, and ship-carpenters' tgols. New South Wales WiiTs a constant market for the surplus a. , Yrieultural pro. de , •e, of New South Wales ; and as the voyage between Port Nicholson and Sydney is now made in eight days, it is natural to expect that the trade between them.wil! be very groat. Of the administration of Captain HonsoN these pa pers speak vary unfavourably. We think it better to leave these disputes, to be arranged between the New Zealand Company and the Government. To give one *hied complaints against a governor placed in the diffi cult position of Captain HonsoN in a new colony, would bc, to &part from-a practice which we endeavour to fol low in all such casts. ger By way of New Zealand We have received Sydney papers of the 23d of October. The commercial atiajrs of Sydney continued in a most deranged state. Several commerciiil houses had' failed; and among • them the firm of GORE and Co., fur 165,000!. An impression orevailed that the worst was still to come. Goods had been sold by auction at the ruinous loss of fifty per' cent. upon the cost price, ,and yet then the de mand was inconsiderable, as purchasers were wait ing for still'greater sacrifices. To add to the melancho:y prospects of the colony, the crops Were burnt up for want of rain, and there was no grass for :he sheep. A Nev Zealand journal says, that some years of prosperit . ) must pass over before New South Wales can fully re cover fmin the distressed condition into:” - hich a variety of causeiliaie- fjpoed:her. We quote thir foiloviing 11'6 one otthese papers : • ' ; We have seen letters from Sydney, by the M a tild a , stat i ng that labouring me n were being engaged at 10d. a-day, and rAtioni.

In the Discount Market there is a scarcity of first sort com mercial paper, and accommodation can be procured upon rather easier terms. Among other items of the proposed change in our commer cial policy, the propriety of imposin g a d u ty u p on th e e x p ort of coals, is beginning to be seriouslydeubted. Those friendly to the measure urge that the tax will in reality be paid by the foreign consumer, whore competition thi s coun t r y has reason to feat, and that by thus much enhancing the cost of the production by so' much are our own manufaCture.s . protected. The oppocents, on the contrary, contend that the burden will, in reality, have to be borne by our miners, in consequence of the reduction in price, which must necessarily be made, in order to equalize the increased charge, in point of fact dividing the amount of duty between the buyer and seller. Each of these parties overlook one very, material point, and it is upon this in parti cular, that attention is now being directed, namely, the supply for steam navigation abroad, and the dread of competition from America." The West India steam boats at present form but the first link of a mighty chain of communication, which if properly fostered, appears likely to work an almost complete revolution in the world generally, and affecting this country in particular. It is intended that a line of packets shall ply the whole way down the west coast of South America, and although the vessels which were sent out to run upon this station have, unfortunately, been lost, the scheme is at present in abeyance ; but as soon as others can be built, the communica • tion will be resumed, the Governments of Chili and Peru having given advantages too valuable to be lightly thrown away. In connexion with these, it is intended to have ether vessels plying between them and New Zealand, and our Australian Colonies, by means of which, when the passage across the isthmus of Panama be opened, the time consumed in a voyage from 'this country to the most distant of our settlements in the Southern Ocean will not exceed forty-five days. In the im mediate neighbourhood of Port Phillip, large mines of excel lent coal have been discovered. and which, when the populatinn becomes larger, may be advantageously worked, thus affording a new employment for capital, to be expended in promoting the welfare of the place from which it is to be drawn. No fear exists but the mines already in operation are sufficient for the present supply of the Southern Colonies, where the ap plication of steam power is rapidly increasing, now that a superabundance can be obtaii.ed for the purpose of extending commercial enterprise. It is feared that the supply for the vessels employed between this kingdom and the eastern coast of America, if iropedipents be thrown in the way, will be obliged to be drawn from the United States, • where, especially in Penn3ylvania, the increased quantity of coal procured will seriously enter into competition ; and hence the doubt, if it be correct, to levy one rate of duty on exports in foreign as well as in British vessels, and without reference to the purpose.fer which the coal is to be used. Beyond the usual continental mails, there are no foreign arrivals. A vessel from New York is reported to be off Holyhead, but it is doubtful if the intelligence will arrive to-day ; the accounts will be one day later. COURSE OF EXCHANGE-L(YESTERDAY.)

SUMMARY OF NEWS Lord and Lady Francis Egerton leave Belgraveasqnare tea morrow, to pass the Easter recess at Oatlands. NIEsCEZZAAniartIS. Burials in churches have in former times occasioned exten sive epidemics. Haller states that a church was infected by the exhalations of a single body, twelve years after burial, and thi s corps o ccasioned a very dangerous disease in a whole con vent. Raulien relates that the opening of another occasioned a dreadful eodemid in the plain of Armagnac. On this day, in 1519, Kotzebue was assassinated; it is also the anniversary of the death of Weber in 1829. The gardens belonging to Chelsea Hospital wia be opened to the public on Sunday next fur the season. M. Cherubin6 funeral took place on Saturday, at Paris, in the church of Saint Roch. His own requiem, composed by himself for his funeral, was finely performed. On passing along the Boulevards, the band of the 2d legion of the National Guards executed from time to time funeral symphonies, and, amongst others, that composed by the deceased, in 1824, for the funeral of Louis XVIII. AND Vitt)tic Optrtion. " Who runs may read." ronExGN. _ - Our Paris Contemporaries do not present us with more no• velty in the columns devoted to original articles, than they have had for some days past. The Courrier Francais replies to the article of the National of Saturday, on the pfoject of a commercial treaty between France and England. This Journal does not agree with the National in representing the commercial tariff of France as liberal compared with that of England, but on the contrary asserts that the prohibitions and restrictions of the French tariff of customs are in a degree with which those of the English tariff will bear no comparison. The Courrier also states, as a fact for which it can vouch that Sir R. Peel has urged I\l. Guizot to sign the Treaty of Commei ce which was drawn up during the administration of M. Thiess, al though in that treaty there is no reduction of the duty upon British iron, whilst, on the side of England, there is a large re duction on French wines and brandies. It also expresses its belief that, if M. Guizot had consented to reduce the duty upon British iron, the English Government would have consented to a considerable reduction of the duties upon French silks. Our contemporary censures M. Guizot with great severity, for not availing himself of the spirit of concession manifested by the English Government, and unhesitatingly declares that, up to the present moment, all the blame in connection with this treaty is due to the French Government. We find the following in the Courrier Francais:—" M. Cunin-Gridaine has taken a serious view of the difficult posi .tion in which the postpenement of the sugar question has placed him. It was he who prepared the Bill with the full assent of his colleagues, and in laying it before the Council of Ministers, he thought he was merely complying with a matter of form. The inconsistency and bad faith which have been attributed to the Cabinet have more particularly applied to him. He consequently gave in his resignation two days ago, and has since resisted all the entreaties of his colleagues to change his determination." ".We are assured," says the Paris Globe, " that the Coun cil of Ministers has not come to a final decision to postpone the Sugar Bill, and this is confirmed by the non-appearance in the official journals , the Messager and Moniteur, of the note sent to to Moniteur Pa risien as a pilot baloon." The Observateur Suisse publishes the answer given by the Pope to the communication made by the canton of Lucerne of , its constitution of August last. His Holiness says he cannot approve of it entirely, as it contains clauses incompatible with the rights of the Church, but. he accepts with grateful feelings the manifestations of respect for him made by the canton, and hopes for new proofs of its piety. According to a letter from Constantinople, 23d ult., in the Leipsich Gazette, the Porte has decided upon sending imme diately an army of 20,000 men into Syria. PARLIAMENTARY. • Amongt the petitions presented to the Lords last night, was one by Lord Brougham, to exempt Mechanics' Institutes from the assessed taxes. His Lordship stated that some mercantile houses had saved from 1,0001. to 3,0001. a year from the re duction of postage. There was to have been a commission, and the House was, to have adjourned till April 7th, but by some accident the com mission could not be found, and their Lordships therefore meet this day. In the Committee Mr. Bankes gave an explanation of the circumstances of the Dorsetshire Magistrates having committed persons to the quarter sessions instead of the assizes, as has been said to avoid paying fees for the defence of the prisoners. Mr. Ashworth was brought to the bar and repremanded by the Speaker for interfering with a witness on the Clitheroe Election Committee. Sir Charles Napier moved a series of resolutions, having for their object to improve the navy. A considerable debate ensued, in which Sir James Graham, Captain Berkeley, Lord Ingestrie, Captain Pechell, Sir R. Peel, and Mr. C. Wood, took part; in the end the resolutions were rejected by the previous miestion. . Subsequently the House was occupied by Mr. O'Brien's mo tion for papers relating to the case of Flanagan, whom some gentlemen are accused of having murdered in a lark, by setting fire to his clothes, after they had poured oil of turpentine over them. Lord Eliot explained the course of the Government, which seems to have been proper on the occasion. The papers were not refused. Committees were appointed to inquire into the state of the British possessions on the West coast of Africa and the state of the different West India Colonies in reference to the existing relations between employers and labourers. The House adjourned at a quarter past one o'clock. PUBLIC OPINION. The following is from The Morning Chronicle :—" The income tax is imposed upon altogether deceptive pretences. The resources of the country are fully equal to any emergency which exists, if they had but fair play from monopoly. Were it otherwise, we might still ask, when ever did the dimi notion of income avert the danger of bankruptcy? Equally deceptive is the other excuse for the income tax, viz., that it is to operate as a counterpoise to the changes in the import duties. Why, the most important of those changes will be sources of revenue. Absolute prohibitions and prohibitory du ties bring nothing to the coffers of the State. Every instance in which the ditty shall be hereafter paid on meat or fieh will bring so much gain to the Government, while it cheapens the price to the consumer, and haves him better able to bear his remaining burdens of taxation. Any reference to the tariff, in justification of the income tax, is a transparent fallacy. There is no necessity for the income tax whatever. The pre tended occasion for it is a hoax. Its real design is that of a boon or bribe to the interest which raised the present Ministry into power." The Times observes, in reference to Mr. Webster's despateh to the. American Ambassador in London, on the subject of the brig Creole :—".Not.. Lord Aberdeen or the Crown itself can justify a detention which the law does not justify ; not all the 'most sweet voices' of the United States will excuse a British functionary in overstepping that authority' with, which the law invests him. We have our laws, arkd we govern by,our laws, and it is mere arrogant impudence, rAro presuming on English gullibility, to demand of us . to govern by any other. 't his, however, , Mr. Webster is obliged to demand. We de" not doubt that he feels the difficulty of his task—we believe he is alive to the audacity of requiring that English magistrate's should administer AmeriCan law on English territory. His tone is not that of a man who thinks himself in the right " The Advertiser o'userves —"As Mr. Labouchere cogently stated, if a r cal sys'ern of commercial reform were instituted, an income tax would be unnecessary. Why did not Sir Robert commence with a real system of commeacial reform ? Instead of, at such a crisis in the national destinies, imposing fresh fetters upon industry, why did he not rather confer upon it all the emancipation of which it could be in need, by abolition of the corn duties? To propose a scheme of direct taxation, while the people were already pressed by an amount of indirect exaction net tai lie strained further, arid taxing the income of industry at the same rate as that accruing from land or realised capital, is in itself a policy of the most tuspicidui character." The ;Herald contains a leading article, suggested by Sir C. Napier's naval speech in the Commons last night, in the course of which our Contemporary observes :—" It is certainly asto nishing that - the noblest service which any country can boast of should be left, at this time of day to vindicate. any fair preten sions which it may possess, whether to the protection of the Legislature or the indulgence of the public. }or ourselves, the bre,tent disposition of our o pi nion js, in favour of a naval Lord ; ecause we believe that the true administration of his high office roust be greatly governed by a practical intimacy with the details of his department, such as it would be scarcely fair to demand of a mere civilian." The Post contains the following remarks : Sir 'William Clay would utterly abolish the Corn-laws, in order, as he cons' ceives, always to secure low-priced food—and, by consequence, (so runs his argument), to sustain the revenue. But it must surely be obvious to the apprehenstan of most people, that by the abolition of the Corn-laws, the harvests would, so far as the soil of England ,is concerned, be rendered always bad, inas much as the attempt to grow wheat on any but the finest soils would be immediately abandoned. The larger portion of the wheat consumed in England (if wheat might, after the aboli tion of the Corn -laws, be assumed to continue the staple food of the English people) would be brought from abroad ; but even then the impoverishing effects of a bad harvest would be felt as much now.'' rezoNE" rTnaE—COIVINCERCE.

LAW AND POLICE. At the Coventry Assizes, on Monday,:David Revill was con victed of breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Samuel Randle, in the parish of Sow, within the county of this city, on the 27th of September last, and stealing therefrom 80 sove reigns, 8 guineas, 12 crowns, a silk handkerchief, a silk purse, and a box. The prisoner having preciously been con victed of felony, was sentenced to be transported for life. Sophia King, a milliner's apprentice, aged 23, was tried at Cambridge, on Monday, for stealing on the 12th of January, a post-office packet, containing bank notes and securities of the value of 785/. The Jury found her guilty, but recom mended her to mercy. Sentence was deferred. At the.

No case presenting any feature of public interest was heard in this Court. • (Before Vice•. Chancellor IVIGRABL) LEENING V. SHERRATT. His HONOUR gave judgment iri — ihiS;Use, which came be. fore the Court on further directions. There were two points raised at the bar. In his will, the testator gave 1,0001. to each of his children. With respect to the daughters they were to have 500/. paid to them, and an additional 500/. was to be settled upon them in a particular mode. The ~..irection in the - will was that the interest of the second 500/. should be paid to the daughters, and the principal be disposed of in such manner as they themselves should direct to their issue, "but in cite they die without issue, I give such principal amongst the survivors of my children in equa l proportions. " The first question was, whether the words "in case they die without issue " meant an indefinite failure, in which caso the limitation over would be void. He was of opinion that the words meant an indefinite failure. The second question was, whether he should construe the word " survivors" as meaning others. The authorities on that point were very contradictory. In this case the provisions which the testator had made in his will were sufficient to satisfy him, that he used the word "survivors " in its proper sense, and thit the testator intended to give to the survivors of a deceased child the same benefit as would have been received by the parent. INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY) RE JOSZPH CORBYN. The insolvent in this case, who was' . described as a Com mander in the Royal Navy, and at present of the Royal Hos pital, Greenwich, applied to be liberated on bail until the day of hearing. The Learned COMMISSIONER proceeded to examine him with regard to the statements in his schedule, where the names of several creditors to a large amount appeared, but he seemed to be quite incapable of understanding the nature of the legal technicalities upon which he was questioned, when Mr. CooKE informed the Court that although a very small sum appeared by the schedule to be available to the creditors, yet the insolvent had lately got an appointment in Greenwich Hospital, and received 3001. a year compeisation, 150/. of which he gave up to his creditors, and all of them considered him to have acted in the most honourable manner, and consented at once to accept of it, save a person named Walker, who was his detaining creditor. Captain Corbyn had been indebted to this individual in the sum of 801., out of which 721. was paid, and yet he refused to accede to the same composition as other and incomparably larger creditors. He (Mr. Cooke) consi dered the insolvency under such circumstances as these could scarcely be considered a discredit. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said he agreed in the opinion expressed by the Learned Counsel. So far as Walker's oppo sition was concerned, that he thought would be disposed of very soon at the general hearing of the case. Mr. COOKE further stated, that there were some small excepted articles belonging to Mrs. Corbyn, from whom the insolvent had been livaig some time separate, and allowed her 401.: a year for maintenance, se that he thought it would he useless to occupy the time of the Court, by dwelling further on that subject. The bail having justified, Mr. Corbyn was ordered to be discharged. LITERALIVIT CIENTIFIC.

The Quarterly General Court of the Proprietors of the East India Company was held at Twelve o'Clock this day, at the East India House, Leadenhall.street. GEORGE LYA LL, Eq., M.P., the Chairman of the Court of Directors, in the Chair. The SECRETARY read the minutes of the proceedings of the last Court. Mr.' WEEntNa, before the Court proceeded to business, wished to ask a question. The CHAIRMAN rose to order. It was contrery to the rules of the Court for any Hon. Proprietor to ask a question be fore the business of the day had been disposed of. Mr. WEEDING said that in another place questions were constantly asked before the business of the day commenced, and as the question he was about to put was on a subject of the most vital importance to every Proprietor of East India Stock, he trusted that, acting on the old maxim, talus poputi suprema lex, the Chairman would permit him to put the question. It was in relation to the army in Cabool. The CliatamaN could not answer the Hon. Proprietors question at that stage of the proceedings, even if it were put, as it would be contrary to the Byellaws for him to do so. Mr. WEEDING would then reserve his question until he could put it without infringing the Standing Orders of that Court. ADDRESSES OF CONGRATULATION. The CHAIRMAN reported, that the Address of Congratula tion to her Majesty on the birth of the Prince of Wales, which had been agreed to a Special Court, held on the 17th of November last, bad been presented to her Majesty at the last levee, by a deputation from the Court of Directors, and had been most graciously received by her Majesty. He also reported that the Address of Congratulation to his Royal Highness Prince Albert had also been presented, and that his Royal Highness had most graciously received the same. RETURNS. The SECRETARY then read the account of the different papers which had been laid before Parliament by the Company since the last Court, andwhich, in conformity with the Bye-laws, had been printed for the use of the Proprietors, These were an account of all monies supplied from the reve nues of India towards expenses in England, in continuation of a former return. An account of all bills drawn on the different governors in India, and an account of the rate of exchange thereon. A return of all monies received from India and China. A return of all returns received from China, stating whether the same were made in money, silk, or other goods, and how the same were distributed. Copies of any resolutions of the Court of Directors, granting any pensions. Copies of any resolutions of the Court of three lore, granting any salaries. Copies of any resolutions of the Court. of Directors, granting any superannuated allowances. Copies of any resolutions of the Court of Directors, granting _any compensation money to the officers of the Company, or others. A list of all compensations granted up to the lst June, 1841 ; and an Account of all Superannuations granted since the last Quarterly. General Court. HILL COOLLIES. The CHAIRMAN then said that the Court was made Special, for the purpose of laying before the Proprietors, a"seeably to the Bye-law, cap. 10, sec. 1., a Bill now before Parliament, entitled, " A Bill for regulating the Carriage of Passengers in Merchant Vessels" (Colonial Passengers' Bill). The only section of that Bill which at all affected the East India Com pany was the 41st, which he would call on the Secretary to read. 'the SECRETARY then read the 41st section of the Bill, as fellows :—" And be it enacted, that it shall be lawful for the Governor-General of India, in Council, from time to time, by any Act or Acts to be passed for that purpose, to declare that this Act, wish such exceptions as are hereafter mentioned, shall extend and apply to the carriage of passengers upon any voyage from any ports or places within the territories of the East India Company, to be specified or described in such Act or Acts ; and also in like manner to authorise the substitution as respects such voyages of other equivalent articles of food and provisions for those here inbefore t numerated, and to declare the rule of compu tation by which the length of any such voyage shall he estimated, and to confer the powers hereinbefore con ferred upon Government agents, and collectors and comp trollers of the customs, with respect to ascertaining the sea-worthiness of a ship upon such officers of the East India Company, as the Governor in Council may think proper, and from and after the passing of such Act or Acts of the Govern ment of India, and whilst the same shall remain in force this Act shall, with such exceptions, as are hereinbefore made as respects voyages from colonies, as apply to and extend to the carriage of passengers upon such voyages, as in the said Act or Acts of the Government of India shall be specifies." Mr. WEEDING had carefully read the Bill, and could cian firm the statement of the Chairman as to that being the only clause of the Act which at all affected the natives of India. The subject was one in which that Court had always taken a deep interest. In July, 1838, it had been discussed in that Court, and again in June, 1840. In both instances the Court had come to a resolution to petition the House of Commons on the subject; and although he (Mr. Weeding) had more confidence in the regulations proposed in the present Bill for the protection of the naives of India, than he had in . those which had formerly beset proposed, yet he thought that the Court, before it sanctioned any proposition for the deporta tion of Hill Coollies, ought to be in possession of further in • formation. He should, therefore, move a resolution to the effect, that before the Court could come to any opi nion as to the justice or propriety of any plan for the de portation of the natives of India to the Mauritius, it was necessary that they should have further information on the subject, and that therefore the Court of Directors be re qnested to lay before the Proprietors copies of any despatches which may have been received from the Indian Government in reference to this subject; and also ,copies of any orders refer ring thereto, which may have been issued by her Majesty in Council; and also that the Directors be requested to obtain in formation as to the precise nature of any enactments which might be in ertistenee in the Island of Mauritius, for the pur- pow of regnlating'cohttatts entered into between the labouring population' and the agricultural and manufacturing proprietors of tho said island, and to lay the same. before the Court: —(Cheer§.) Ile felt much obliged to the gentleman who was sitting below the liar (Mr. Hogg), for the admirable speech he had made on the subject in hie place in Parliament, in reply. to Lofd Stanley, on the discussion of Mr. Vernon Smith's motion: That gentleman was entitled to the warmest thanks; and he hoped that the Court of Directors had thanked him the first time thee had met, after the delivery of his admirable speech. In his (Mr. Weeding's) opinion, it scat inpossible to prevent the deportation of Hill Coolies from degenerating ultimately into a slave traffic.—( Cheers.) If the Government would form d entlts of regulations Writhe Mauritius, compelling parties who brought flatlet , ' of India into that Island to enter into a bend to a large amount fa tend them back to the East Indies, in t lie event of work, not beingtfotind for them; or of; their ill-treat ment, that woeld be more effectual then all the complicated machinery which it eras proposed to' introduce. After all, to what did that machinery amount to. • It left everything iti the hands of the Governor-General. He might be a perfen hiving estates in the • Mauritius, and might be interested in the deptlttation of these people. It behoved the Court to pause betoi'd they gave their sanc tion to any .measure fur the deportation is the natives of India. He certainly should i n ,;•e, liked the ques tion to have been asked in Parliament, as to 0 e cost of the Mauritius to the mother country. Now India did not cost land anything,and it was unjust to transport the natives of India to the Mauritius, and to employ them there in the euls tivation of sugar, which would compete with Indian sugar in that market. The population of . Mauritius was already sufficient to cultivate all the existing estates, and the Coolies could only be wanted for the purpose of reclaiming the wilderness, and turning a barren rock into a fertile soil, at the expense of the industry of the natives of India. He trusted the papers would be granted, and that a Court would be called for an early day to consider the subject. Mr. 11ONTGOMERY MARTIN seconded the motion. lie had seconded a similar one in 1838 and in 1840. He held in his hand a despatch of the Governor-General of India, which he was assured not one half of the Proprietors had seen, and without a knowledge of which it was impossible to con a der this qUestiotle It was a Report of a Committee of six gentlemen who sat at Calcutta to consider the subject, three reported decidedly against permitting tht de , portation of Hill Coolies at all. One gentleman had .14 India before the Report was drawn up ; an other, a Mr. Dowsen, wa>i ati agent for the emigration of these Coolies, and therefore had a personal interest in the con tinuance of the system, and the last,:a Mr. Grant, was an exceedingly young man, too young to be able to form a compe• tent opinion on the subject. Lord Auckland had stated that great caution was necessary to prevsht ifs degenerat ing into a slave trade ; and if they permitted this, deportation fo . take place from British India, what was to prevent the:deportat ion fromtaking place fromPondicherry, Husqucbar, and from the native ports and foreign settle-. merits. It was impossible to foresee to what extent it might be carrie.t„'if the principle were once sane • tiened there were hundreds of miles of eneultitated ground in India, on which these Coollies might be em ployed, if they waived employment ; therefore, it was no hardship On them to, prevent the deportatioM The subject was most important; and he had great pleasure in seconding the motion. An Holy. PaoratEvoa hoped the COurt would not interfere to prevent the Indian labourers from taking their labour to the best market. Both Lord John 'Russell and Lord Stanley were in favour of permitting the emigration of Coolies to the Mauritius. and the fears entertained on the subject were groundless. The Governor of the Mauritius himself stated that the existing laws of the Island gave ample pro tection to the Coolies, and he was a disinterested witness, for he had, as he himself stated, gone out to the Island having a great distrust of the planters. He was very much identified with the party who had taken up the question so strongly in this country, and his testimony might be considered unbiassed from the manner in which it was given. With regard to the opinists of the natives them stlvet, they had heard th a t very many of those wh o had '`returned to India hid applied to be sent back to the Mauritius. An investigation into the circum stances had been instituted by Lord Auckland, and the result had not been unfavourable to the emigration. The evi dence had been sifted by Lord Auckland, and many persons had expressed themselves favourable to it. The Hon. Pro prietor then read some extracts from the evidence, going to prove the good treatment of the Coolies, and concluded by stating that he should not move any amendment to the resolu tion, but should leave it in the hands of the Court to deal with it as they thought fit. Mr. G. Tnomesoss said he admitted the right of every British subject to the free exercise of his locomotive powers. He would not abridge one i n di v id ua l of h i s personal liberty, or deprive him to the smallest extent of his eight of choice. But with regard to the Hill Coolies, or those naives of Indi a w h o came under that denomination he thought they were persons scarcely in circumstances to be able to exercise a sound and enlightened choice. From the moment permission was given by the Order in Council, some years ago, to import into the Island of Mauritius and to De.. merara the class of which he spoke, he had Watched as carefully as it was possible to do the working of that Order in Council, and he had seen with the utmost . pleasure the rescinding of that order, by a counter-order of Lord Glenelg. He had also rejoiced over the defeat of a similar measure, when afterwards introduced by Lord John Russell. They were called on that day again to consider the question, and he did not see any circumstances that induced him to alter his opinion. Ho should be glad to extend to the natives of India the largest possible measure of liberty— he should rejoice to see them able to better their circumstances by going either to the colony of Mauritius, or to any other portion of the Briti s h d om i n i ons. B ut h e had yet to learn that they did better their circumstances by se emigrating; he had yet to learn that they were able to judge on their native soil of the circumstances in which they were to be placed when they got to the distant country. In the first place they were ignorant of'the language of the parties who urged them to emigrate, and ignorant of the language of the country to which they went, whether it was . British Guiana, the Mauritius, or any other part of the world. They were ignorant of naviga tion, and of the situation of climates and colonies ; they were ignorant of the kind of work they would be called on to do ; igno rant of the particul ar na t ure o f th e contracts t h ey e nt ere d into ; and more than all, they-wereignorant of the .arts and strata gems of the planters, as individuals, and the practice's of the Colonial Councils, Assemblies, and Governors of the country to which they went. He, unhappily, was not ignorant of those prac- RE HENRY CHAE3IAN. The insolvent applied to be liberated on trail. He had been Intimately acquainted with Lord Huntingtower, and had had several bill transactions with that Nob'eman previous to his departure for the Continent. About fifteen months ago the insolvent took the benefit of the Act, at which tine he at tributed his insolvency to those dealings. In reply to Mr. Commissioner HAst sus, he said that he resided on Lord Huntingtower's premises, but was not " one of his establishment ;" neither was he his tenant ; but he had the honour to be his particular friend. A creditor named Caldwell, who described himself as a cab man, complained that he had not been served with due legal notice of the qualifications of these offering themselves on bail ; also that the detaining creditor was not to be found. The Learned COMMIIsioNER having examined the bail, de. dared the insolvent entitled to be discharged until his hearing. There were 34 Bail cases for hearing, all of which were got through during the morning. The town cases amounted to '32, and the country to 11. POLICE INTELLIGENCE •• MARL BO ( 11. TI O ns U D Gl y I- .,) STREET.' Edic(ird Ricketts, a young man of respectable appearance. was charged with cos witting a violent and aggravated assault upon Eliza, his wife. The complainant stated that her husband had deserted her about a week ago, leaving, her without any means of support, and was cohabiting with a young woman who was servant at the house of . a tradesman he was employed by, and whom he had seduced, and was now pregnant by him. His master had in consequence, dismissed him from his employment. Between eight andnine o'clock last night she accidentally met pith in boloorn, walking with the female in question, and on her m ekly asking him if he did not intend to return to his home, he seized her in his arms, shook her violently, until she was nearly breathless, and then struck her, with his clenched list, with all his might, a blow on the mouth, which cut her lips and :tongue severely, a t n 4 d . e o s s e p n o e t d , h s e e v w e r a s a 1 g o i f v h e e n r in te te et e h e . sto O d n y a , police e haughty to ne , sa id th a t h e was do ss she had twice attempted t t (sots The stab tanbe s ' di e i n fnCe l oon . nd onji 1 vt : eh t. hy s wife, he* wife emphatically declared that there was not the slightest truth in the assertion.

ArrEmrTEn Suietnx.—A very pensive and rather pretty looking young girl, named Mary Dem ink, was brought before the magismatet charged with attempting to destroy herself on Monday last. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner, who was a servant, in Peter-steet, Gray's-inn-lane,:went out on pretence of visiting 11 , ..r mother on Sunday evening last; she returned a few hours after very much intoxicated, in company with a cab man, who lived in the same house. She immediately went to bed. The next morning her mistress observed upon the impropriety of her conduct and told her she would inform her mother of it. This seemed to prey very much upon the poor girl's spirits, and she fell into a state of the most gloomy melancholy; and from which her mistress made several in effectual attempts to arouse her. Late on Monday evening she threw herself into a cistern► of water, six feet deep. The screams of a female who saw her brought a nan from a neigh, bouring house to her assistance, who, after some difficulty, succeeded in rescuing her. Her mistress gave her an excellent character, and the Ma. gistrate having recommended her to return to her service, and her mistress to treat Cher with care and kindness, the parties left the office. UNION HALL-(THIS DAY), ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.—Richard Holyoak, a confiden tial servant, in the employ of Mr. Sturgo the large ship owner, was charged with robbing his employer. Mr..

Latterly various articles were missing from the stores in this warehouse, and suspicion having been excited against the prisoner, his house was examined, and in it was found a considerable portion of the stolen property. Committed. John Thomas was charged with breaking a window in Christ-ehurch workhouse for being refused admission. The master said that upwards of eighty vagrants collected at the gate the preceding night, and out of that number as many were admitted as the ward would contain. defendant being one pf those excluded for want of room commenced breaking the windows. He was committed for five days, and to be passed. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. . EL LIGEN CE. (RECEIVED THIS DAY.) OXFORD C CU I T.—Shrewsbury, March 22. MACKENZIE V. OUSELEY.

There was also another feature about this question: he believed that the greater portion of those im ported from the British possessions in India were males, and he knew that both in the Mauritius and Denseiara morality had been extended to a very frightful extent by the importation of an immense number of male la bourers, unaccompanied by any females. There was a fearful disproportion of the sexes, inasmuch, as on the sugar plantations, male labourers were more in request than females. Over the island of Mauritius also, the Govern ment had less control ; it was more unmanageable ; they knew less about it than any other colony. From all he could learn with respect to that colony, they could exercise but a slight control indeed over the influential inhabitants. They knew that of all their fellow-subjects, the inhabitants of that colony had been the most rampant and contumacious, and he had heard nothing of the colony which would lead him to rejoice at an importation into it of their fellow-subjects from any part of the world. Un der these circumstances, he felt called on to exer cise his influence to protect these unenlightened, ignorant men, and they would permit him to say, that it was a reflection on this Court—it was a reflection on the Government of India, it was a reflection on the Supreme Government in this country, that there should exist in India a necessity for men engaged in the growing of sugar and rice to emigrate at all. or to seek for leave to live as a boon in any part of the world. He regretted that they should be obliged to leave their native country, tempted only by the miserable prospect of obtaining that which they ought to be able to obtain on their native soil.—( Hear.) He had not that love for the colony of the Mauritius which would induce him to put in jeopardy the comfort and happiness and morality of the Hill Coolies, by sending them to that island. (CUT SPEAKING.) ELECTION COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY., GREAT MARLOW. The Committee met again this morning at eleven. The proceedings commenced by an application on the part of Mr. Sergeant Merewether, to be allowed to withdraw a statement which he had made oir the preceding evening, imme diately before the rising of the Committee, to the effect that he did not intend to proceed with his objection to the vote of a supporter of the sitting Member. • The Learned Counsel said that he had been induced to make that statement, solely be cawe he had been misled , by an incorrect copy of the registei'. After some discussion among Counsel, the Committee im mediately decided that the objection to the voter might be again proceeded with. It was accordingly agreed that the et jection should be taken on a future day. The vote of Edward Newell was then objected to by the Counsel for the petitioners, on the ground of want of occupa tion and non-payment of rates. The vote was not decidedon at the hour of our going to press. WEYMOUTH. The vote of John Bolt was objected to by the sitting mem bers, on the ground that he had removed from the house for which he regiytered before the election, having left those pre• miens on the 29th of October, 1840. The objection being proved the vote was struck eff. The vote of Leman Cohen was next objected to, as an alien. It could not be proved whether, as stated, Cohen was a German, and the Committee, finding that this objection was not made be fore the revising barrister, retained the vote. Edward White, a petitioner's voter, was next objected to. He was a journeyman tailor. He was objected to as having been improperly admitted by the revising barrister, and also as having parted with his qualification before the election. An other objection was, that his mother, not he, was the tenant. The vote was struck out. The petitioners now objected to John Meade, a voter for the sitting Member. The objection was personation, inasmuch as that Mr. Meade represented, at the poll, his father, Sir John Meade, whom some infirmity had disqualified from voting, while his title was good. The father and son, however, were allowed to remain on the register, though they had been objected, each on a different ground of disqualification. WIGAN. The Committee met to-day at the usual. Mr. HAWES in the Chair. The arguments in the case of John Kirby, whose vote was objected to by Mr. Austin on behalf of the petitioners were re sumed this morning ; the grounds of objection were that the voter had ceased to occupy the premises in respect to which he had registered. The Committee were unanimous in deciding that the ♦ote could not be sustained, and it should therefore be struck off the poll. Edward Horsman was objected to by the petitioner's counsel on the same grounds. Joseph Hurst, an excise officer, deposed that he had, on the Ist of January, 1841, taken the house, in respect of which Horsman voted, and that he continued in occupation of it since Horsman ceased to occupy it, and removed all his furniture before the 12th of January, 1841. After the examination of several other witnesses, The Committee had not decided when we went to press. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS. (From the Votes and Proceedings of the Housety Commons.)

Bologna, as we learn by a letter of the 3d inst., has been subjected to a riot. The new Cardinal Legate having ordered that all the coffee.houses, taverns, billiard-rooms, and other public places, should be closed at midnight, the proprietors of these establishments found themselves aggrieved, and deter mined to show their dissatisfaction by making a public Corso after midnight. Accordingly, on the Ist inst., about thirty carriages, a. considerable body of horsemen, and nearly 500 men on foot, made an hour's promenade in the Via di Santo Stephano, which is used .as the Co rso d ur i ng the Carni val. The police was called out, but did not arrive till the pre-: menaders weie retiring. Seven or eight persons deemed to be ringleaders were taken into custody, and next morning two men 17. - ere committed with the rest to the prison of the Poreta. - In the evening of .the 2(1, a petard was let off in the public , square, and thereupon the guard at the Palazzo Publico was but under arms, and so remained throughout the night. Pickets of cavalry were stationed at different points, and patroles paraded on Via di Santo Stephano till a late hour. No disturbance ensued.
