LONDON : TUESDAY MOTtNING, NOVEMBER 8, 1842. The Morning Chronicle yesterday, afte making a series of observations on the many s t ra nge parties into which the community is divided, sneering at the extreme opinions )f some, and the pertinacity with which they tt,:e adhered to, recommended a renewal of political' activity. " Instead," said our Contemporary, "of that general kind of apathy which prevails at present—that sulky indifference which characterises some, and that selfish indifference which characterises others, we should like to see something like a movement of activity and life. Something like an indication that the present social condition, and future welfare of the country, are not wholly indifferent to public men or private individuals." Who may be meant as sulky and sel fish, though not named, we can easily guess. It cannot be the working classes, for they have recently exhibited great, but mistaken, political activity in a general and alarming insurrection. Their associates, the political Chartists, are and have been in a state of activity too violent for their own perfect safety. The Complete Suffra gists have summoned a convention at Binning._ barn, and they have been lecturing to crowded audiences throughout the country. Our pages have testified that the ultra-Reformers of the metropolis have not been wholly idle. The uti-Co.rn,4aw League and perkctly free trade party has commenced a most extensive system of w e ; I -organized activity, and needs, according to the Post, a halter to keep it in, not a spur to make it gallop. Of the Millentnrians, of whom e Chronicle speaks, we h ave no information hut if they be the Puseyites, or any members of t h e diurch, tlhe columns of the public journals every day prove the increasing activity of the priesthood. Mr. OWEN and the Socialists, too, are by no means asleep. Though the Tories, in the possession of the fruits of victory, have, of all p art i es , the least occasion to exert them selves, yet the proceedings in the mu n i c i pa l elections,. at many o f which they h ave gained advantages, w hile' the Radicals h ave gained in others, and the ‘Vhigs seemed to have gained nowhere, show that the Tories even have not been idle. The only persons of whom it can be said with any truth that they look on with sulky or selfish indifference, are the leaders of the Whigs. They have betrayed the Government into the hands of the Tories, they have placed the people under the hoof of their old enemies, they have contributed to bring on the national difficulties and the national distress, and, with more regard to selfishness than magnanimity, they now leave the people to help themselves as they best can. The Whigs see:no hope of being restored to office by pop u l ar - support,— speedily they wait for that possibility till they show them selves, and they are correctly: described by the • Chronicle as looking on with sulky or selfish in- F4l ' ~- . ,v Arm , -, - ° ,s " =,—)t , .2,....‘2 , ' :171 - - 0 - : i , 1,7 g... .% , . -qa+ ,;" to •,-1, " 6.451. •r• , . :.-", V \ ,§Ult difference at the great struggles which the Suf fragists, the Socialists, the Free-traders, the Chartists, the bulk of the people, under different denominations, are making to improve their social condition. We may be asked what would we have the Whigs do? We will answer. They were de eated on a series of measures which they said, in 1841, and their partisans say now, would have sustained the revenue, and prevented the irn- position of an Income-tax. The measures of their opponents are decided failures, and the Tories are becoming unpopular with all classes. Now is the time, then, if the Whig measures would have been so beneficial—if those who pro- posed them, being the Ministers, and a great political party, have still faith in their own wis dom, for them to call public meetings, and pro voke, as the Chartists with their small means are doing, a serious public discussion on their old policy. Let them, if they have faith in it, at once declare that it shall be the basis of their operations in the ensuing Parliamentary cam paign. Let them write pamphlets and articles in newspapers, which is more worthy of them as statesmen than writing ballads about the Ro.. man Mythe, and let them at once appeal to the country for support, on the ground that their measures would save and serve it. They have money to spare for such objects, and, if they win, they will be rewarded by large salaries and patronage. Not one public meeting, however, have they convened—not one public demonstra tion have they attempted. Nor will they do anything of the kind. In fact, they have no faith in their own policy. They know that it is quite inadequate to the exigencies of the coun try ; and they know, moreover, that it would ob tain no support from auy class. If the Whigs, then, cannot possibly rally the public round the standard of their past measures, what are they to do still to remain leaders of the people ? They must frame a new system of policy. They must be aware that their old scheme failed, and they must give it up. What that sys tem should be is for them to consider. To frame it is their business, not ours. They know the diseased condition of the country, and they ought to know what will cure it. How to pro mote the national happiness has, we suppose, been the study of their lives, and, having framed such a scheme of policy, they ought to bring it before the public. In the present state of the representation, the influence of public opinion over a sitting and septennial Parliament is very great, and if the Whigs wish to obtain power they must begin by gaining public opinion. It is now their business, therefore, as their oppo nents have failed, to lay before the public a large and comprehensive scheme of policy which shall be superior to that of the Tories—which shall give us reform and keep away revolution ; which shall restore prosperity and contentment ; which shall shadow forth at least the principles if not the details of measures, which shall gradu ally, through a course of years, bring and keep our institutions in harmony with the continued progress of society. A few fine phrases about free trade, such as Lord PALMERSTON sported and Mr. MACAULAY hammered out, will not satisfy the yearnings of the nation. They will cure no poverty, and lessen no discontent. The nation requires a well defined scheme of policy, which shall be as its guiding pillar of flame for years to come. If the Whigs cannot or will not lay down such a scheme, and will not appeal to the public to rally round it, what claim can they possibly have to the character of leaders of the nation ? If they will not or cannot do this, with what right can they or their organs complain of pub lic men being distrusted? Why should the peo ple trust those who have deceived them, and who do not now show them the way out of their difficulties? Whigs and Tories have all promised us prosperity and• peace, and they have all de ceived us. The people will put faith in men no more, whatever they might do in well defined measures. Let the Whigs show us how we may hope to prevent revolution and secure the pro gress of civilisation—how we can give perfect freedom to industry with the least possible in jury to monopolists—how punishments can be made to prevent crime without being murderous to the criminal—how the lower classes may be elevated and ennobled without the higher classes being depressed—how religion may be promoted and priestly arrogance held in check—in fine) how all, having one common interest , may be made freer, wiser, better, and hap pier than we now are, and the ND hio.s will soon rally round such a standard the bulk of those who now aspire after improve ment by isolated or conflicting efforts. If the Whigs can sketch no such system of policy, and want ability to make it the common creed of all reflecting men, what right have they, we ask again, to put themselves up for national lead ers, or pout and sulk because their mere exclu sion from ofikee is not considered a recommenda ion to unbounded popularity ? COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR MONDAT.—This forenoon the Queen and Prince Albert walked as usual in the Home Park. The Prince afterwards went on a shooting excursion to Flying-barn, in the Great Park, attended by the Earl of Dunmore, Lord Stanley, and Colonel Wylde. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal were taken out twice to-day. Lord Fitzgerald and Vesci arrived at the Castle, on a visit to the Queen. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, attended by her Lady in Waiting, took her departure to-day. The Rev. Dr. Richards also left the Castle to-day. Her Majesty and the Prince inspected the piece of plate to be presented to Sir Moses Montefiore, which was submitted by Messrs. Mortimer and Hunt, and with which her Majesty and his Royal Highness were pleased to express their approbation. The Royal dinner party this evening at the Castle will include her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Earl and Countess Bruce, Lord Fitzgerald, Earl and Countess of Dunmore, Lady C. Dundas, Lady C. Cocks, Hon. Miss Devoreux, Viscount Hawarden Hon. C. A. M urray , Si r K. Otway, L or d C. Welles ley, Colonel Wylde, and Dr. Proatorius. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambrid , tended by Colonel Jones, left his residence atg7i yesterday, on a visit to her Maj es t y the Queen .: Dowager, at Canford House, Dorsetshire. A Cabinet Council was held at three o'clock yes terday afternoon at the Foreign-office. It was at tended by Sir Robert Peel, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Wharnclifie, the Duke of Buccleuch, Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Stanley, the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, Sir James Graham, Earl of Haddington, Lord Fitzgerald, Earl of Ripon, and Sir Edward Knatchbull. The Lord Chancellor subsequently joined his colleagues. The Council sat two hours and a half. Lord Fitzgerald left town in the afternoon on a visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle. Sir John M'Neill transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. Lord Stanley arrived in town yesterday afternoon from a visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle. " FUDGEi" was the heading given,by the Tunes yes terday to a borrowed paragraph, which referred to Earl Spencer having dined at Windsor, and which threw very serious doubts on a report that the Noble Earl had been summoned at the suggestion of Sir Robert Peel to advise her Majesty in the present critical situation of the country. Did the Times mean to represent the doubts as fudge, and the report that the Earl had been summoned tor such a purpose as correct ? Whichever it might be, it is certainly not fudge that the country needs other measures, whether they be planned by other men than the Ministers or not. _ DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—We have again to record the almost total demolition, by fire, of the extensive mills at O'Brien's Bridge, belonging to James Dennison and Co. The fire originated in the upper lofts by some friction of the machinery, which ignited the chaff or dust, and in less than twenty minutes the en tire mills were on fire, together with the three kilns in the rear. The mills were completely burned down previous to the arrival of the engines. We are happy to say that M essrs. D enn i son are i nsure d f or 4 , 4 00 1. with the North British Company, a sum which, it is expected, will cover his loss. 'T.be store and dwelling house, which are saved, were insured with the West of England Insurance Company.—Limerick Repo ter. A public meeting of the county is to be held here (Paisley) on Thursday next week, to consider on some mode of relief for the suffering and unemployed work men. Mr. Wallace has published a letter on the suL ject. The yroceedingsi. reli k e l y to b e of great :kite rest.—Re nlreu.shzro. iei -/u?r THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 8, 1842 on account of Caubul and China advances, and are properly war charges. The deduction of these brings the total for 1840-41, from '84,35,855, to 53,08,605. This, however, only, inclUdes the charges in Bengal proper, to which alone the marginal entry in para graph 5 of the resolution has reference. There is, over and above this, an item of 24,63,830, occasioned by contingent disbursements in 1840-41. The total then with which we have to deal is 1,08,89,655, or, excluding China and Caubul, 77,62,405. The charge corresponding to which in 1830-31, as entered in the civil auditor's .books, was only 37,34,687, which still leaves ample ground for inquiry and report. 17. We are now applying ourselves to separate from these totals the contingencies in the political .de partment, and more especially to examine this class of Charges in: the . North-western Provinces, where loCal experience and situation will facilitate research. But we are hopeless of being able to effect much good as regards the Bengal' contingencies. We cannot he expected to have any familiarity with the details of the Calcutta customs, salt, opium, and marine depart tments, whilst the organisation and circumstances in the judicial and revenue, and several branches of the general department, are so different from what arc found in this part of the country, that without the co operation of officers of experience at the Presidency, we should be slow to apply to the former principles which we can unhesitatingly adopt in the latter. . 18. But whilst we remit no exertion in the prose cution of the course detailed above, we would take leave to point out a method by which some immediate reduction may be effected, and in the enforcement of which there need be no delay. 19. Contingent disbursements are of all others those which most elude Oneral rules or fixed prin ciples. Their amount is ever varying with the neces sities of the moment, the temper of the disbursing, or the activity of the controlling officer. The first cause may not admit of regulation, but the two latter are open to influence and to correction. 20. We would recommend that a circular letter he addressed froM the head of the Government to each disbursing and controlling officer, pointing out the importance of 'extreme attention to this subject, and enjoining the observance of scrupulous care in the admission of each item. We would hope that the exertion of each person, though in itselt yielding a small result, would together produce an aggregate of some importance in its bearing on the public expen diture. 21. We would only further observe that if the suggestion contained in the conclusion of paragraph 17 be approved, we would hope that we may have the benefit of similar co-operation at the Presidency in our inquiries regarding Bengal civil salaries and es tablishments. We have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) T. H. ADDOCK. F. CURRIE J. THOMASON C. J. MANSEL J. STUART.

Mr. Maddock pre ceded his Lordship by one day, and the other secre- I taries (Colonel Stuart and Mr. Mansell) followed on the following days. The reception of his Lordship at Cawnpoor is said, by a correspondent of the Agra Ukhbar, to have been ungracious. He set out, it appears, with the firm determination of declining all private interviews, a resolution which, though it can not but contribute to the avoidance of much trouble, has at the same time the bad effect of depriving the Governor-General of a mass of useful information to he obtained from the official persons residing in the country through which he may be passing. At Cawnpoor he was the guest of General Sir Joseph Thackwell ; at Allyghur, of Mr. Tierney, the Judge ; at Meerut, of Mr. Franco, the Commissioner ; and at Kurnaul, of General Fast. A dinner was given to his Lordship at Meerut, by the officers of H.M. 16th Lancers, followed by an evening party at Mrs. Franco's, which was very fully attended. A party was attempted at Kurnaul, but in consequence of the Governor-Generals anxiety to push on, he declined the offer in tilt first instance, and when in the course of the day it was found the quantity of rain rendered it impossible for him to start it appeared that there was not sufficient time to make the necessary . prepa rations. He left Kurnaul on elephants, as if deter mined to try every mode of travelling, and reached Sitnlah on the 10th. Two members of his Lordship's personal staff, Captain Somerset, Military Secretary, and Captain Hillier, Aide-de-Camp, have proceeded in the most rapid manner available to join General Pollock's force in Affghanistan. THE CAUBUL_ PRISONERS AND HOSTAGES. We regret to have to chronicle the death of one o the unfortunate hostages left at Caubul when tht army commenced its disastrous retreat. Rumours of the ill-treatment by Zeman Khan of Captain John Conolly had sometime since reached us, but we be lieve that his death, which we have now to record was not accelerated by the treatment to which he is said to have been exposed. It is asserted he fell a victim to an attack of brain fever, after having paid a visit to Lady Macnaghten at the fort in wh ich she is confined with the other prisoners removed from Lugh man to Caubul by Mahomed Akbar Khan. it is reported that the Sirdar offered to send t he remains of the deceased to General Pollock's camp in order that the nature of his death might be satisfactorily as certained, but this it appears was not deemed neces sary. Of the prisoners and hostages generally very favourable accounts have been received , and we sin cerely trust that the next mail will carry home the ardently looked for news of the whole of the prisoners and hostages having been released by the advance of Generals Pollock and Nott. THE CAUBUL PRISONERS. (From the Delhi Gazette of Sept. 21.) Amongst the items mentioned in our letters from Jellalabad, is the almost incredible report that Ameen Oola Khan, the chief of Logur, one of the principal insurgent chiefs, and the contriver of Shah Soojah's death, had arrived from Caubul in General Pollock's camp, and offered his services. We much regret to learn, on what we deem good authority, that all the prisoners have been removed from Caubul towards the Hindoo Koosh, with the exception of still with Akbar Khan at Caubul, and Capta ins E y re Captains Troup and Bygra ve, who are and Anderson, w h ose families are too ill to be re moved. Dr. attend to the s i c k. Should this prove true , and , Campbell is also left i n the ca p ital to we are sorry t o sa y our information is so pre cise as to leave but little dou bt of the matter, there are but s l en d e r hopes of the speedy re lease of our poor countrymen. The only hope on which we can b u ild f or the present is founded on the resolution, said to have been com e to b y the Gover nor-General,p t o ac t by the members of Dost Maho med s family in India in a summary method, and at once send them off to England via Bombay. The horror with w hi c h th e communication of this deter mination is s a id t o have been received at Lood i anah , is, Ive trust, a n earnes t that the threat will have the desired effect. Th e D o st will, of course, accompany he younger branches of his fam il y , in the event of this determi na ti on b e i n g carried into effect, and of this there is little doubt, unless the speedy restoration of our prisoners should prevent its execution. Cap tain Mills, officiating assistant to Mr. Clerk, at Loo dianah, announced the intention of Government to the detenus there, only the evening before what may be deemed authentic intelligence of the removal of our countrym en reac hed that station. Our informa tion says that the official notification took the Air ghans quite aback, and that they stood perfectly aghast." MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. (From 27th August to Ist October, 1842.)

CALCUTTA. FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT. FORT WILLIAM, AUG. 24. The Honourable the President in Council is pleased to direct, under the instructions of the Right Hon. the Governor-General, that the following resolution of his Lordship and Report of the Finance Committee be published for general information : RESOLUTION BY THE RIGHT HON. THE GOVERNOR- GENERAL or INDIA. FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT. AuG. 7. The Governor-General has much pleasure in offer ing to the Members of the Committee of Finance, appointed on the 23d of June, his grateful acknow ledgments of the zeal, the industry, and the ability they hare manifested in the preparation of their first Report. In transmitting the Report to the Court of Direc tors, the Governor-General has not failed to call their, attention to the merits of the officers from whom it has proceeded. The Governor-General remarks, that the contingent charges of Bengal and the North-western Provinces for 1840-41, as found by the Committee, after ex cluding all expenditure and advances on account of the wars in Affghanistan and China, still exceed the corresponding charges for 1830-31 by Company's Its. 40,27,718-0-o—a sum which the Committee justly observe leaves ample ground for inquiry and report. The Governor-General concurs in the observation of the Committee, that " contingent disbursements are of all others those which most elude general rules or fixed principles. Their amount is ever varying with the necessities of the moment, the temper of the disbursing, or the activity of the controlling, officer. The first cause may not admit of regulation, but the two latter are open to influence and to correction." The Governor-General accedes to the recommend;i- tion of the Committee, that a circular letter be ad dressed to each disbursing and controlling officer, pointing out the importance of extreme attention to this subject, and enjoining the observance of scrupu lous care in the admission of each item, and his Lord ship directs that this letter shall be so circulated, par ticipating in the hope expressed by the Committee, that the exertion of each person, though in itself yield ing a small result, will, combined with that of others, produce an aggregate of some importance in its bear ing on the public expenditure. The Governor-General earnestly requests the se veral officers entrusted with the expenditure and con trol of the public money to consider that a sum saved by real economy is of more value to the State than the same sum added to the revenue ; for the object of a good Government is to extend the largest amount of benefit at the smallest cost to the people. The Governor-General desires to see all the ser vants of the State in the enjoyment of emoluments suited to their stations, and sufficient to maintain them in those stations with respectability and comfort. His Lordship further earnestly desires to see those who by their superior zeal and exertions may justly raise themselves to the more eminent stations in the public service, possess such higher emoluments as may not only conduce to their own prosperity in life, but be a perpetual excitement to others to distinguish themselves by similar merits. But his Lordship must express his conviction that in no country, and least of all in India, can the means of effecting these salutary objects be placed within the reach of Government unless, by the general co-opera tion of those entrusted with the disbursement and control of the public money, rigid but well considered economy be introduced into all departments. The Governor- General will deem it to be amongst his most satisfactory duties to mark by promotion those who, otherwise fit for the public offices to which they aspire, may have distinguished ;themselves by their judicious vigilance over the expenditure under their control ; and his Lordship will not fail to mark by substantial proofs of his displeasure all who may evince a disregard of public economy. (Signed) ELLENBOROUGH. FROM THE COMMITTEE OF FINANCE FOR THE PRESI DENCT OF BENGAL TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD ELLEN BOROUGH, GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA, &C. Allahabad, Aug. 6, 1842. My Lord—ln entering on the investigation en trusted to us by your Lordship's resolution of the 23d of June last, we endeavoured to lay down some sys tematic plan on which our operations should tie con ducted. 2. We proposed to break down the totals contained in the first paragraph of the resolution, in order that we might discover in what branches of the administra tion, or to what extent in each branch, an increase had taken place in the period under review. Then, by retrenching what was superfluous in each, we hoped to be able either to reduce the whole to the same amount as at the commencement of the period, or satisfactorily to explain where, and on what account, the reduction was impracticable. 3. 'We have, however, experienced great difficulty in the first step of this operation. The statement is based on a comparison of the civil auditors' books in the early years. But the arrangement of these books in the early part of the period is very different from what it is in the latter. A great change has interme diately taken place in the organisation of the Govern ment ; Bengal and the North-western Provinces have been separated from each other in all matters of local Government. 4. The accounts as well as the administration have been divided ; and, though a general uniformity of system and arrangement has been maintained, yet the divergence is sufficient to require great labour and care, if anything approaching to an accurate compa rison is to be instituted. 5. This circumstance, added to our separation at this station from the trained establishments and volu minous records of the offices of audit and account, both at Agra and Calcutta, have baffled our attempts to follow the course which vi e would have most ap proved. 6. If, therefore, we hoped to accomplish anything during the brief period of your Lordship's stay in this part of the country, and consequently of our remain ing united, it was evident that we must adopt some other plan which, though less complete and certain, was yet calculated to produce results in themselves valuable, and would enable us to turn to best account the means of local information here available, and at the same time so dispose our work that it might be prosecuted by separate parties when we ceased to co operate on the same spot. 7. The disbursements of the political department we are separating from those of the general, in which they are now merged. These, as being connected with the Supreme Government of British India, and coming more immediately under your Lordship's eye, will form the subject of a separate report. 8. 'We have also taken the civil auditor's books of 1840-41 for the North-western Provinces, and entered upon an examination of the items of civil expenditure which they contain. 9. For purpose of comparison it was necessary to assume a date, so far back as to be prior to the great organic changes in the Government, occasioned by the Charter of 1833, because we could not otherwise rightly appreciate the effect of those changes. We, therefore, took the books of 1830-31, and endeavoured to select from them the corresponding items to those in the books of 1840-41, for the North-western Pro vinces, so far as the two could be brought to corres pond. The comparison will sometimes be only of totals, and will sometimes extend to details, accord ing as the changes may be greater or smaller. 10. At the conclusion we hope to bring the totals together so as to agree with the entries in the resolu tion, and furnish the full report which is expected at our hands. 11. We have thus already completed a report on the civil salaries, in the judicial, revenue, and customs department. the l e 3 s . t a T b h l s m u e b n i e t s e t i n o f the o n s a t i m n g e e d n e e p i a e r s t 12.

We were first compelled to call upon all public officers for the originals or copies of their contingent bills for a few years. The three last were those we selected. But the civil auditor's books, which are the basis of the entries under this head in paragraph 5 of the resolution, give only the average monthly dis bursements of each office, and we have found it im possible to reconcile the averages with the bills them selves, from want of information of the precise grounds on which the averages are struck, and from the labour which would necessarily attend the verification of all the items, when the process of their reduction is known. The reconciliation might, no doubt, be effected in time, but the object does not seem worth the trouble it would occasion. 15. We have considered it more expedient to retain the civil auditor's totals, merely for the purposes of comparison, and to proceed to an examination of the bills themselves, without attempting to reconcile them with the civil auditor's returns. We hope from this examination to attain a fresh total not far differing from that of the civil auditor. The several parts of this new total will be thoroughly analysed, so as to show what items admit of reduction, and what do not, and how the corresponding charges in diffe rent parts of the country, under similar circumstances, stand. We may hence be able to deduce rules and and principles which may assist in keeping this branch of the public expenditure within moderate bounds. Our inquiry may then enable tus to estimate the fu ture average monthly disbursement; and the contrast of this with the averages formerly obtained from the civil auditor's books, will afford a test of the success of the operation.ro': - r 16. With this view NN 'e present the result in an ap pended table. It will he hence seen that two very large items, amounting together to 31,27,250, axe due CHIN A. SELECTIONS FROM THE PEKIN GAtETTES OF JUNE. CASTING CANNON.—The Emperor, in a personal interview with the high officers of the army in Che keang, has ordered them to make strenuous exertions, for the erection of foundries and the casting of can non, at some eligible place, and that the guns be sent with flying dispatch to Chekeang. IMPERIAL PRESENT OF SHOES.—R has hitherto been the usual custom for the Emperor annually to present a handsome pair of shoes to all the high mili tary officers of Mantchow Tartary. This year his Majesty publishes that only one half of the said offi cers will be thus distinguished. THE LATE COMMISSIONER YUKEEN.—The imperial will has been declared that the demise of Yukeen having taken place, his son shall be rewarded with a mandarin's cap button. No allusion is made to the circumstances of Yukeen's death, nor is the precise rank stated to which his son is promoted. Tun CURRENCY.--Owing to the high price of silver in Shan-se province the Emperor has forbidden the further coining of copper cash in that province for the period of one or two years. REBELLION IN HOOPIII PROFINCB.—The result of the rebellion in Hoopih five months ago was the get ting of entire possession by the insurgents of the cities of Sung Yang and Tungshan, which are situated in departments of the same name in the north-west part of the province. A recent gazette states that a large body of imperial troops had just entered the disaffected districts, attacked the rebels, routed them and recovered the cities. There were several thousands of the insurgents, and a large number was killed and wounded. Hoopih is one of the central provinces of China, covers a large extent of territory, isEdensely populated, and has long been famed for its wealth and men of letters. It is bounded on the north by the province of Honan, on the east by Ganhwuy, on the west by Szechun, and on the south by Hoonan. l'Exm.—The governor of Chihle represents to the Emperor the great importance of still larger appro priations being made for strengthening the fortifica tions both on the east and the west of the Imperial province in order to check all advances of the (Yth E) " rebellious barbarians." CHEREANG.—The Governor lays before the Em peror a detailed statement of the number, &c., of all the officers civil and military . who have served in Chekeang, the seat of war, during the past year: he notices Ist, those who had been newly put in office ; 2d, those who had been long employed ; 3d, those who had left the province being either expelled or had left to take office elsewhere ; and 4th, those who had died. REBELLION.—Some of the wild tribes north of Sze-Chuen province were excited to rebellion by cer tain " foreign barbarians," dwelling on the Chinese frontiers. Being urged to throw off the Chinese yoke, they arose and committed great depredations. The Gazette states that an imperial force was dispatched to the said region, and after putting forty of the insurgent chiefs to death, brought all the dis affected to submission, among which was one " fo reign barbarian," who agreeing to yield to the im perial authority, was graciously permitted to remain uninjured. CANTON.--A physic store in Canton city was burned down, consuming four persons in the flames. The Emperor is indignant at such inexcusable careless ness, and orders the individual in charge of the dis.• trict, a Mandarin of the sixth rank, to be forthwith I disgraced from his office. to CORN RETURNS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Newport, Oct. 31, 1842. SIR—An old subscriber to your paper would be obliged if you would publish in The Sun at your ear liest convenience (if you can do it without putting you to any expense), the average price of wheat, bar ley, and oats for about the last six or seven years ; he thinks it would be very useful to other parties as well as himself in the purchase of landed property, as the average price of grain would be a guide. By doing so you will confer an obligation on Sir, yours truly, AN OLD SUBSCRIBER. [At the request of our Correspondent we give the subjoined state of the averages for the last ten years, according to a return made to Parliament by the In spector-General of Imports and Exports, previously stating that the highest averages during the present century were in the years 1800, 1801, 1810, 1812, and 1613, when the prices of wheat were respectively as follows :-113s. 10d., 119 s. 6d., 106 s. 5d., 1265.6 d 109 s. 9d.] Year.

Amongst other for which patents have been granted, and large establishments raised, is one in Birmingham for the plating of all descriptions of manufactured metals, such as table services, candelabra, and indeed anything how ever large or small made in metal. The house alluded to is that of Elkington and Company, and has already a branch establishment in Moorgate-street, in this city, and another, it is said, is about to be opened in Regent street, upon a scale of magnitude. The advantages of this new and simple process are very many ; amongst others may be named that the goods are manufactured in the same manner as silver, the ornamental part being chased in solid metal, and where joints are necessary none but hard solder is used. The base is composed of a purified white nickel metal of great durability, and of the same colour as the exterior. The union of the sur face and base is perfect, forming one body. The plating on the more prominent parts is, from the nature of the process, stronger than on those parts less exposed to wear. Every description of style, however elaborate, and whether embossed or engraven, is plated witn the same facility as a plain surface ; and with moderate care such goods will last for many years, and can be re plated when injured, which under the old process could not be done. In the Aberdeen Journal of Wednesday last, the following paragraph appears :--•" At Nether Fornet of Skene, may be seen a potatoe, of the round species, 40f oz. in weight, and 22 inches in circumference.

A_ 14 ttO SUN OFFICE Three o' Clock. The triennial Charge of the Bishop of LLAN DARE,' to his Clergy, though generally displaying that ability and good sense for which his Lordship is distinguished, is very equivocal on the impor tant subject which now agitates the Church; and must have left his hearers in doubt whether he regarded" The Tracts for the Times," as tending, to evil or to good. While he blames the Pusey ites for designating the " POPE'S usurpation" an ordinance of GOD, and calls upon diocesans and clergy to resist a doctrine so dangerous to their power, he bestows the highest commendations on other portions of the " Tracts." In one part of the Charge lie says there is in the writings of the innovators a tone of fondness and indulgence for " Holy Mother Church," showing what lurks beneath the garb of amiability; and in ano ther he declares that the " Tracts" had displayed the nature of the Catholic Church, and had raised an awful sense of the history of man's redemp tion. " These," he adds, " were principles which were never absent from the teachings of the Church, which he could not but admit were dormant when those publications appeared." This is blowing hot and cold in the same breath. The Bishop seems disposed to allow those teachers to proceed to any lengths with their Popish rites and doc trines, provided they do not desert in a body to the "Holy Mother," and in order to deter them from such a rash act, of which, however, there is no great fear, he points out the false teachings of the Church of Rome, which had . destroyed the principle of unity, by substituting a spurious earthly dominion—by teaching that to obey one chief was unity. This is inconsistent language, and only shows to what shifts even the ablest of men are driven when they abuse rivals in re ligion as well as in trade. We believe it is generally allowed that in no Christian Church whatever is there such unity of faith as in the Catholic Church, and that this arises from the very circumstance which the learned Prelate condemns ; nay more, the Epis copal Church of England is founded on the very same principle. Each Bishop is looked up to as a minor Pope in his own diocese ; some of the Right Reverend Fathers claim almost equal power, both spiritual and temporal; and occa sionally threaten to rebel against the earthly head recognised by the canons of the Church. But has the Anglican system, which the Bishop extols at the expense of a rival establishment, been effectual in preserving unity ? Are there not more dissensions now than at any former period, and a greater variety of sects than ever existed in any other country, all taking their rise from some great defect in our Established Church ? In commencing the Charge he ad mits the fact, and deplores the divisions and dis cord which prevail among Christians. Will the Puseyite doctrines tend to heal these divisions, or will the half praise and half blame which the Prelates at theirvisitations bestow on NEWMANand his party, encourage Wesleyans and Methodists to return to the bosom of thei Anglican Church ? Dr. COPLESTON will in vain urge his clerical brethren to promote unity, and bring the stray sheep into the fold, while Popery is rearing its head in the midst of it, the Primate of all England is calmly and silently looking on, and one-half of the Episcopal bench is arrayed against the other. The news from Canada to which we adverted on this day week, relative to the duties to be im posed by the Canadian Parliament on wheat to be imported through Canada in England, excites a good deal of attention in the provincial jour nals. The question has two aspects. We no ticed only that unconstitutional one of the Mi nisters recommending a colony to impose a tax on a commodity which is to be consumed by the people of England. The provincial journals no tice that the recommendation places a fixed duty on corn, amounting, with the Canadian duty 35., and the duty on importation in England, exactly to the Whig duty of Bs. when the price is below 555., and only to 4s. when it is above 58 s. If it be meant, as some of the Canadians have inter preted Lord STANLEY'S letter, that on the Cana dian Parliament levying a duty on American corn, Canada corn, including American corn and flour made from it, shall be im ported quite free of duty, then the fixed duty imposed by the Canadian Parliament on the American wheat, being the only duty, will be 35.; and the whole produce of Western Ame rica may be b. sent to this country at that! rate. As the law now stands it may be sent hither at a fixed duty of !not exceeding Bs., and that duty may be 45., if the price be above 58s. only. This is, however, nothine• c . new. It was mentioned in the progress of the Corn Bill. Like the Carlisle Journal, which has some remarks on this sub ject, we do not object to lowering the duties, we object to the mode in which it is done : The " Farmers' Friends," are at work again (says that journal), in their vocation of deceivers ; and those who were gulled by their promises to " protect" agri culture, will now find to their astonishment that not only has the sliding scale failed to afford them one whit more " protection" against the corn grown ou the continent of Europe, than was offered by Lord John Russell's proposed fixed duty—to say nothing of the injury it inflicts by the mode of its operation — but that a plan has been secretly arranged by these " farmer's friends," by which the corn of the United States is actually to be admitted at a fixed duty of three shillings per quarter ! To those who, like our selves, believe that the more you can extend the ope rations of trade, the better off will be the people— this intelligence will be hailed with no little pleasure. We should have preferred that it had been done openly, and that the trade in corn should have been direct with the United States, and not by a sort of smuggling operation through the Canadas. This will, doubtless, be looked upon by the mono polists in this country as a " a serious blow and great discouragement ;" and certainly is a step of the utmost importance—because it must, eventually lead to free trade. It will, if we mistake not, soon be shown that an extensive business may be carried on in corn, even in this round-about way ; and he will be wilfully blind, indeed, who does not see that the extra cost of carriage into Canada is just so much money wasted—a waste such as it would be to compel the people of Brampton to bring their goods by way of Wigton for sale in Carlisle market. It is well known that the fertile regions of the Western States of America are as accessible from Quebec as from New York, and that it is nearly as convenient to import their produce from the St. Lawrence as from the Hudson. Mr. CURTIS, from Ohio, gave, in his discourse at a meeting of the Anti-Corn-law League, the following ac count of those regions : The portion of our country best adapted to the cul ture of wheat, and to which I wish to call your parti cular attention, is comprised in the six north-western States and territories, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi gan, Wisconsin, and lowa. They contain more than 178,000,000 acres of land, chiefly arable. England contains 32,000,000 acres. That portion of their States which may be called good wheat-land, at three quarters per acre, would produce in a year 200,000,000 quarters. They are at present just commencing to pour the immense amount of bread and meat they are capable of producing into the markets of the world. Ohio alone, lust year, had eight million bushels of wheat to export. MiChigan, which never exported until 1837, has now a surplus of 250,000 bushels of wheat, and 300,000 barrels of pork. The population of these States is now 3,000,000. It has increased during the last ten years at the rate of two hundred and two per cent. It has been estimated by practical men that the amount of their exports would be doubled or trebled by a good demand in two years. Under the present laws and proposed regula tions there will be no impediment to thatdemand, wheat being carried to Canada, there ground into flour, and imported into England. " If," says the Carlisle Journal, " by the payment of a fixed duty of 35. these vast resources of the Western States can be made available to this country, the present Corn-law i 3 virtually at an end—and Sir ROBERT will have accomplished, by a trick, the overthrow of the most mischievous monopoly that was ever established in any country." Sir ROBERT is not only doing that by a trick, but he is doing it unconstitutionally, and in a way which will _not be so advantageous to 'Eng' land as directly abandoning al l duty, or leaving only a 4s. fixed duty. We have already - Isointed out, on the authority of a 'New York paper, the •injury it tivill inflict on the trade of New York. It will make the New York merchants curse our regulations instead of cursing their own tariff. They will notbe so ready to aid us in getting rid of it. But if the United States' tariff is not altered; and the import of American wheat take place through Cauadar a great and irresistible temptation to smuggling will arise. The United States bordering on Ca nada, and Canada where it borders on the United States, will become inhabited by bold despera does ; government and law in both countries will be set at defiance, and Sir R. PEEL'S scheme will have the merit of spreading demoralisation over both. The Madrid mail of the 30th is quite destitute of news. The Eco del Aragon announces th at at au express had arrived at Saragossa froth drid, with the REGENT'S refusal to permit th,e Infante Doll FRANCISCO DE PAULO, and familY , to pass through the capital on his way to The INFANTE is ordered to take the Valeacia route to Andalusia. - The Eco (Madrid) of the 30th continues to ad vocate the necessity for a reduction in the exist ' ing tariff.
