The COURT of DIRECTORS of the BANK ai AUSTRALASIA hereby give notice, that, pursuant • o the 11th clause in the Deed of Settlement of the Corpora tion, the EIGHTH YEARLY GENERAL MEETING of PROPRIETORS will be held at their Office, 2. Moorgate street, on MowDAY, the 6th of June next, at Two o'Clock, precisely, f the purpose of receiving the Annual Report, and Electing Three Directors in the place.of those who go out by rotation. By Oi der of the Court, WILLIAM MILLIKEN, Seeretary. THE ROYAL AlAttlif,- 4 ,GE PICTURE. ESSES. Glt V nC od 0., have thi honor to announce that. the y affil FXHIPIT in theil Gallery, 6, Pall.mall, THIS DAY, and during the Week by 'Ticket only, the magnificent PICTURE, of HER MA. JESTY'S MARRIAGE, painted by G. HAYTF.R, dime all in their power to effect that object, which they all believed to be of so much importance. Re would, however, rather than speak in his own words, read the - correspondence which had taken place between the Directory and the authorities at the other end of the town on the subject, which he thought would prove to the Proprietors that the Court of Direc tors had not neglected to do everything in their power for the accomplishment of the object which the Court of Proprietors seemed to consider so desirable.—(Hear, heals) Wiqi the permissio:s of the Court, therefore, the Clerk would now read the correspondence. The CLERK then read a series of letters addressed by the Board of Directors, submitting for the consideration of the Board of Control some remarks on the disadvan tages under which India laboured, in the hope that her Majesty's Government would be induced to remove them. In the important articles of sugar and rum a liberal relief had been afforded. But in some cases, India had not been treated with equal consideration. In the article of tobacco, India was treated the same as foreign coun tries, whereas a reduction of no more than 3d. in the pound would afford a reasonable profit, and encourage an extensive cultivation. The duty of ten per cent. on manufactured cotton was f e lt as a great injury. The natives of Hindostan • did not think, with manual weaving, of competing with the machinery of Britain, but they felt it a grievance that English manufactured cotton was admitted into India at one-third the duty which was charged on Indian admitted into England. A concession upon this point would not injure the English manufacture, . and it would be received by the natives of India as a gratifying mark of conside ration. There were also some articles of manufac ture in which the Indian surpased, such as Corns, handkerchiefs, &c., and for these there was a great de mand in England. A reduction of the duty would not interfere with the home manufacture, and would greatly increase the trade between these two remote parts of the empire. It would be a great benefit to the native work men, and a great gratification to the people of India. The letter then deprecated the ditinction which was made in the scale of duties, between the produce of territories subject to the Company, and those parts of India which were more usually called " British posses sions." The construction adopted of the latter term shut cut the dependent principalities of the Mysore, of which the British had actual possession. The Directors were aware that a great alteration was about to be made in the customs' duties,. and they hoped that the opportunity would not he allowed to pass without extend ing to India the benefit of the alterations. The CLERK next read a letter, in which the Board of Directors call Lord Fitzgerald's attention to the in equality of footing on which native seamen were placed in relation to British. A ship entirely manned and com manded by Lascars could not trade with Great Britain or with British possessions beyond the limits of the charter; so that by their connexion with Great Britain they were placed in a worse condition, with respect to British commerce, than if they were foreigners. To do away with this disqualification mould he a great benefit, not only to India but to England herself. Other letters of a similar purport were read, and also one from the Secretary of the Assam Company, urging the expediency of imposing a different duty on foreign teas, in favour of tea the pro duce of the British province of Assam. The letter set forth the great efforts which the Company had made, and the necessity of giving them a preference over fo- j reigners, until thei r pl antat i ons were so far perfected as ' to enable them to meet free competition. The CHAIRMAN hoped, and believed that after hear ing that correspondence the Court of Directors had not been inattentive to the interest of India in respect to the important matters brought under th e cons id erat i on o f the Court by th e lion. Member, Mr. Martin.—(flear, hear.) Nor had there been a neglect. in bringing per sonal interest to bear wherever it was available.— (Hear, hear.) As to the petition proposed by Mr. M. Martin, all must agree with that gentleman in the views which the petition propounded • but he left it to the C our t whether an y thi ng could be gained —or rather, would it not do harm—to press the matter further at present, after what had already been done by the Directors. Mr. GEORGE Lrux, who spoke in a tone for the most part inaudible, said that he had had an interview with the Earl of Ripon, upon whom he had strongly urged the claims of India to further advantages on the alteration of the tariff s and laid before him the letter from the Secretary of the Assam Company. But his Lordship having consulted Sir R. Peel on the subject said, that no further alteration of the tariff could be made at present. With respect. to the disadvantages under which the Lascars, or Indian seamen, laboured, his Lordship was unable to cotne to a ny decision on the subject, without further consideration ; but, at the same time, he seemed to feel very strongly the hardship of their case.— (Hear.) lie (Mr. L.) did not think the petition could do any good, but beyond that he saw no objection to it. Mr. SALOMONI4 as one of those who signed the requi sition for calling this meeting together, felt bound to express his satisfaction at the course which the Directors had taken—(llear, hear)—and he was glad that lie had signed the requisition, as it hail led to so gratify ing an explanation ; although at first lie had hesitated to . sign, because, as be belonged to the party opposed to the present Government, it might be supposed that he wished to raise difficulties in the way of her Majesty's Ministers. There was one part of the petition which he hoped the Directors would press upon her Majesty's Government—namely, that which prayed for the removal of duties upon commodities, the produce of the subsidiary States of India, differential from the duties upon the produce of what were called, by distinction, " British possessions in India." Surely those States in Central and Southern India, in which the East India Company controlled the administration of the Government, and exercised sovereignty, were as much to be considered integral parts of the British dominions as that smaller portion of Hindostan-which formerly consti tuted the only possessions of the East India Company.— (Hear, hear.) He hoped the petition would he agreed to. Mr. 'WEEDost concurred with Hon. Proprietors in thinking that the Directors deserved their thanks for the prompt and zealous manner in which they had seized the opportunity of interfering in behalf of India. But he did not concur with all that was contained in the petition, and he should oppose the motion. The CHAIRMAN said that he would submit to the Court, that a resolution should be passed embodying the principal points of the petition, which would have the effect of securing unanimity. After a prolonged conversation, Mr. Martin withdrew his motion for a petition, and a resolution to the follow ing effect was agreed to :—" That this Court desires to record its entire concurrence in the representations which, as appeared from the documents just read, had been made by the Board of Directors to her Majesty's Governm e nt, respecting the d u ti es on art i c l es, the produce of countries directly or indirectly under the government of the East India Company, and expresses its hope that the state merits and correspondence will receive due consideration." It was frirther resolved that the Chairman he requested, to communicate a copy of the resolution to the Board of Control and the Prime Minister. A resolution was then passed that the correspondence between the Directors and the Board of Control, as read at this meeting, be printed, and copies sent to all the Members of the Houses of Parliament. A Special General Court was held at the East India House yesterday, for the purpose of taking into considera tion the proposed alterations in the English tariff, so far as they might affect the produce and manufactures of the East Mies, and also for the purpose of petitioning both Houses of Parliament on the subject. Sir J. L..LUSHINGTON, the Chairman, took the chair at twelve o'clock, and at this time the meeting was very thinly attended. The minutes of the last meeting having been read, certain papers were laid before the Court, with respect to superannuation and other matters connected with the financial affairs of the Company. The CHAIRMAN then informed the Court that it had been specially summoned by the desire of more than nine Proprietors, for the purposes stated in the requisition. Mr. M. MARTIN then rose to address the Court. On several occasions, within the period of the last five years, he had had the honour of bringing under the consideration of that Court the commercial position of India, more par ticularly in relation to the duties levied on the products of that country, and which, for a series of years, had prevented the due extension of the commerce of that vast portion of the British empire. The favour with which the Court had viewed the introduc tion of a subject so calculated to benefit India, as well as England, induced him to trespass on the attention of the Court. He should be wanting in his duty to the Court if he did not avail himself of the present occasion to bring this important subject before it. He. trusted that the Court would not relax its exer tions until India was placed as.an integral portion of the great empire of England. The reason why the subject more importantly demanded the consideration of the Court at the present moment, was the important commercial changes that had been proposed to be adopted by the present Prime Minister. He thought the present question was, if possible, of higher importance to England than to India. In the debate in the House of Commons last night, the whole tariff was discussed. In that debate uotice had been taken of America, Fe/ince, Russia, and Prussia, but not one word had been said about India. Three tariffs had been brought forward—the first recognised India as a colony of England, but the second did not. The first tariff, gave to India some small portion of the justice to which she was entitled, but the second denied it to her. Some persons might consider that India did not deserve con sideration, but, for his own part, he thought she ought to be looked upon in the same light as England. At the time we are treating India as we treat Russia and other countries, these countries are doing their utmost to exclude English manufactures. In 1839, 1840, and 1841, the balance of trade against England and in favour of Russia had been 15,000,0001 sterling. Russia is the first country which comes into competition with the commercial products of India. He considered the tariff as a great and enlightened change, one likely to prove a spring of renewed vigour to the commerce of the country; and it was therefore with great regret that he dissented, as far as India was concerned, from several items of that tariff. Russia is the first country that comes into com petition with India, and yet Russia excludes nearly all our manufactures, while India admits them all at a nominal duty of three per cent. He explained the course and balance of trade between England and Russia for several years past, and proceeding to particular ar ticles, said, that tallow imported from British India fetched as high a price as that of Russia. He saw no reason to suppose that the hope expressed by Sir R. Peel of Russia and the United States following their system would be realised, since at the close of the present year a new tariff, on the same principles as the present, came into operation. Sweden and Norway acted on the same principle as Russia, and he contended that India ought not to be placed on the same footing . as these countries. He went through the principal articles of Indian produce, particularly the newly rising product of sugar, and hoped the Court would watch carefully the alterations in the duties on this article, so that India might not be deprived of the benefit of the com merce in this article. He thought the success of the motion of which Mr. Labouchere had given notice, would be a check to the production of sugar in India. Wool ' had of late years become an increasing export from India, and, considering the large quantity imported by England, there was the greatest inducement to encourage the growth of Indian wool. The, exportation of skins and hides, and castor oil, had also greatly increased. Linseed was also an indigenous product of India, and it was a remarkable fact, that cattle on the plains of Yorkshire were now fed on linseed grown in India. In 1834 it was not exported from India at all, but now a house in London had in vested a large sum in the trade, the Indian tallow being equal in quality to the best impoirted from Russia. The importance of this branch of commerce was apparent, when it was remembered that England paid Russia two millions yearly in gold and silver for this article. During the last ten years there had been an increased importation of hemp from India, but the effect of the ta riff would be to prevent any further increase. By les sening the duty on timber imported from the Baltic, great injury must in like manner be sustained by the teak trade of India. With respect to the article of pep per, which was the product of India in an especial man ner, the consumption at present of that article was about 11 oz. to each individual; if the Government could be induced to lessen the amount of duty on it., the consump tion would be greatly increased ; whilst there was only a duty of 15 per cent. on spices, which were used as articles of luxury, on pepper, which was a necessary of . life, the duty was at an enormously high rate. It was now imported under the same' restrictions as the pepper of foreign countries. Tobacco was an article with which India was capable of supplying all Europe. The first tariff proposed slight degree of justice in this article to India, by taking off a portion of the duty to the amount of 3d. per pound, the duty on Indian tobacco having been reduced from 3s. to 2s. 9d. per pound, and the duty on. foreign grown tobacco re tained at 3s. per pound. Bat that small protection was subsequently taken off, and the importation of Indian to bacco was now as much restricted as that of foreign grown. Rice was another article with respect to which India was not fairly, treated, inasmuch as the relative duties imposed on it and on the slave grown rice of America enabled the latter to compete in our markets with Indian rice, . in such a manlier as to injure that branch of Indian trade very much. He would next briefly advert to an article of consumption which had not been hitherto imported into this country from India—he meant wheat. There was at the present moment a large quantity of Indian wheat being landed at Liverpool from Calcutta. It .was the first time that a cargo of wheat had been introduced into this country from India, and he felt convinced, that if the trade in this article were encouraged, by imposing only a nominal duty of Is. per qr. upon it, there would be sufficiently large quantities imported, as to render England independent of a supply from foreign countries. It was of consequence for them to consider whether they should make a stand, to have these articles restored to a more favourable position, and whether they should not request the Government to do away with the second and third tariff, as far as India was concerned, and have recourse again to the first tariff. He now came to the manufactures of India. This country had, fora long time, pursued towards the manufactures of India a most unjust course ; some concession had certainly been made in the articles of cotton and silk. Cotton manufactures imported into England from India were to be reduced from 10 to 5 per cent., and silk from 20 to 5 per cent ; but did England make any difference between the manufactures of India and the manufactures of France ? None whatever ; the manufactures of India and France were placed exactly on the same footing. Surely the Government ought to have acted on a feeling of reciprocity, and have admitted these articles into England at the same rate of duty as that at which those of England were admitted into India, viz. 3 per cent. He had now considered at length, but he hoped not at greater length than the importance of the subject demanded, this sub ject ; he had endeavoured to lay before the Court the necessity of their duly considering this tariff, and of their making a representation to her Majesty, request ing her, at this time when the commerce of India was daily getting worse, to do something to re-instate her in the position which she formerly occupied ; and he thought it rested with gentlemen behind the bar, as the Governors of India, to do something in order to raise the finances of India. From the year 1833 to 1834, there was a local Indian surplus debt due to this country of 1,434,000/. ; during the next year the surplus was 1,680,0001. ; the next, 2,500,0001 ; the 'next, 3,600,000/. ; the next, 3,300,000/. ; and the last year, 2,467,000/, making a total local Indian surplus debt, during the last six years, of upwards of 15,000,000/. Nothing could restore India. from the state of financial embarrassment under which she now laboured but a more extensive system of commerce, and he trusted that Par liament would now render all the aid in its power to wards the accomplishment of this object. He begged to conclude by moving the following resolution :—" That, in the opinion of this Court, the territories under the government of the East India .Company ought to be treated as integral portions of the British empire ; and that as a revision of the English Tariff is now taking place, this Court, in fulfilment of its duty to their fellow-subjects in British India, do again petition both Houses of Parliament, .praying for a com plete reciprocity of tract?. between India and Eng land, which, if fully and fairly established, will confer mutual and extensive benefits on both countries ; and materially contribute to the security andpermanence of the British power and inflUenee in the eastern hemis phere."—(Hear, hear.) Mr. C. F. BROWN seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN said, it would be in the recollection of the Court of Proprietors, that in Dec. 1839, a petition on this very subject was presented to the House of Lords and Commons, and some steps were then taken on the matter ; but the Court of Directors and Proprietors did not consider that enough had been done, end on the 22d of December last year another petition, similar to that now proposed by the Hon. Proprietor, Mr. Montgomery, was presented to the Court of Directors, who had, since that time, Ti , k 4 ' l ` , to view may be had at Pall-mall.

TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 10 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. low. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 40„ and the ex change at Paris on London at short being 25 57i, it. follows that gold is 0.68 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg!' the price of gold is 433 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10 1 Ad. per ounce, gives an exchange of 13 9, and the exchange at Ham burgh on London at short being 13 11A, it follows that gold is 1.02 per cent. dearer in London than in tlamburgh. This calculation was, of course, made previous to the intelligence of he conflagration. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1061 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it foll ows t h at t h e ex change is 2.82 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. ----------,.-- [ADVERTISEMENT.--Our readers attention is di rected to the following communication (translated from the German), addressed to Messrs.

Before having recourse to them, I had been for upwards of live years afflicted with a most distressing malady, which the diffe ent eminent medical men who attended me all pronounced to be a serious case of hydrocel e ( or d ropsy o f t h e scrotum), and de clared there was no other chance of either relief or cure than under going surgical operation. I was thus driven almost to despair ; and consulted the treatise written by Sir Astley Cooper, wherein berates that that the operation is generelly attended with considerable danger. I therefore determined not to risk so painful and uncertain an ex. e. riment, but rather chose to leave the result to nature and Provi dence. Fortunately, I heard of the great fame of P rr's Pills, and resolved to give them a fair trial. I consequently took th rn for some time without perceiving any benefit, but still kept persevering ; and I have now taken twelve boxes, loci to my great joy I am perfeetly well, the dropsy is entirely removed, together with a scorbutic affix - lion, which I had been much troubled with since my return from India in :1827 ; and now there is not a vestige of disease left in my whole system, as I am now in better. health and spirits than I have been for foarteen years. I feel certain you would have accounts of far more cures, if people wou ld persevere i n t h e use of the pills a pro. per length of time, as I have done I give you my heartfelt thanks, and authority to publish this letter, and will gladly answer any ap plicsitions, either personally, or by letter, and will remain your grate. ful and obliged servant.

The respectable family trade carried on for Indy years at the esta blishment rendered it necessary to keep tone but tine and war ranted goods, consequently ladies will not be subjected to the chances usual on selling offstoe.ks of risking the durabiliity. Fifty pieces . of linen sheeting are reduced to be sold in the length only at 4s. tid. to 10s. 6d. the pair, those at 10s. 6d. being three yards wide, and real Barnsley manufacture, having originally cost 2s. 9d. per yard.

Abdominal Dropsy.—James Aunger's child, aged six years. )the father is a tailor residing in Exeter), cured of abdominal dropsy, accompanied with cedematus swelling to a frightful de gree, which extended all - over the child ; and the head and face were so much swollen that for many days it could not. see the light. It came on after scarlet. fever, (luring which the child took no medicine but Morison's Pills, and it got well. As soon as the dropsy came on the pills were persevered with night and morning, tor the space of three weeks, at the ex ira'ion of which time a perfect cure was effected. The neighbours seeing the child in such a frightful state, said the parents were killing it, but they found out their mistake on the child's recovery.

FROM THE EVENING. pAPEH9 OF TUESDAY. GLOBE.—" When these gentlemen do agree, their unanimity is wonderful," as the Critic says. For the sake of some future approximation to purity of election, we congratalate the House of Cemmon s on the uoanitnity apparent last - night. It appears to have been felt on eti sides that the due; denounced was "- too bad" tle. derence, and that the notoriety furnished sufficient ground for the most searehing inquiry. We have cited precedents from the times of Pit ; and we might tied resemblances in the same period of the attitude. taken by the Minister of the day, when grave charges were brought forward, the pressing of Which was likely to be inconveuient to some of his own friends. In the ease of Warren Hastings, as in that of Lord Melville at a. • latter periodi Pin did not hesitate to abandon to the tender mercies of the House of Commons a partisan or a colleague, whose impeach went might find occupati on f ur f orens i c act i v iti es , w hi c h might otherwis e fix on points still more vit a l to hie Ministry. On this point, at least, the present. Minister has taken a leaf from his alleged prototype ; and main tains that high profession of respect for whatever beam the name of Parliamentary privilege. which would cer tainly have been placed somewhat in jeopardy by an op posite course. We have nothing to do with the truth or falsehood of Major Beresfurd's angry reprisals on the Hon. - Member for Bath. The lion. Member's motives are beside the question. A man may bribe from the best motives ; or at least lie 'may so persuade himself. A man may expose bribery from the worst motives ; or may be said to do so. The public has nothing to do with mo tives, as it has no teat for ascertaining them ; and can only infer sinister motives from illegal and illicit proceed. ings. Neither have we the slightest disposition to impute peculiar turpitude to the acts of the parties implicated in theseallegations. Those on whom the Tower of Siloam f'ell were not sinners above all the Galileans. Nor are we sanguine of a radical cure of the evil complained of by topical remedies. Moral evils so deeply seated and in veterate will hardly be reached by such means. It is within the memory of many persons acquainted with one of the towns implicated (Nottingham), that the fact of having accepted a bribe was deemed se disgraceful to a member of an operative society, as to occasion his expulsion. We fear this virtue is rare now, and that no law can directly restore it. There is, however, a suffi cient extent of sound opinion prevailing in the country, to enforce that all that law can do shall be done to limit the range of malpractices. STANDARD.—The debate upon Mr. Roebuck's mo tion last night was conducted with a . good temper an d gravity suitable to th e subject. Notwithstandin g a burst of party petulance from Lord Palmerston, a little encouraged by Lord John Russell, the public has reason to be satisfied with the spirit gene rally displayed, and more particularly manifested in the speeches of' Sir Robert Peel and Lord Stanley. It struck us, however, in the first -in stance, that Mr. Roebuck's motion was not judiciously framed, and the progress of the debate confirmed us in this opinion : indeed, we cannot think that even the amended resolution adopted by the House is precisely what it ought to be, though we freely admit it may be made effectual for its purpose. It is the commonest thing in the world to remark, in read ing a Parliamentary debate, that though the de bate may have been honestly conducted, and con ducted with ingenuity and talent of a high order. the real question has been lost sight of. Of this hag night's debate, in our opinion, aftbrds a remarkable ex ample. The real question was, the suggestion that bri bery had been practised at -Nottingham and the other places named ; but the question treated last night was, not t'se question of bribery, but the question of compromise. And see what was the effect of this error. The compromise itself, and the crime of which it was supposed to be the cloak, were all treated as resting upon vague ru mour, and, therefore, by some considered as -not calling for the interference of the House ; com promise, it was argued, may be innocent, or it may be the reverse, and we are bound in reason and in law to assume the better part of the alternative, Besides, there is no prece dent for bringing a compromise in question without some evidence to go upon, and to look for evidence from parties to a compromise is to call upon men to criminate themselves. The House, in effect, treated these flimsy quibbles and 'technicalities as they deserved ; but still the opponents of inquiry were left with the advantage that always belongs to those who reskt a ease not perfectly and satisfac torily made out. New we contend that the House has siifficienL matter—matter of record, too —upon which to ground the inquiry upon which it has resolved ; viz.—in every one of the cases referred to, a petiticn, directly and specificalkicharying eels o/' hrihcq l , has been presented— presentedhymen who have given their names arid addresses and even entered into securities to prosecute the charge. (FROM THE EVEN.ING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.) (11,013E.—Whenee, after all, then, is this cheap ness of through the Peel tariff; to come ? Partly perhaps from rice, and potatoes. and herrings. Partly from cheapened manutiteturee. We do not Dleall to deny the advantage, in competing 'with fo reigners, of _those reductions on raw materials, ae tiinber, and semi-ni a tufactured articles, as copper, See., proposed by the new measure. But the effect of all these, as regards mere cheapness of living at home. cannot be Very important. The main sources of' cheapness are closed against its, and proclaimed " exceptions." And Sir Ro bert Peel. in his usual manner, seemed anxious. to re-aesure the operatives engaged in those branches manual industry with which it is designed to bring their French rivals into closereompetition— by representing, (with a tangible illustration which he exhibited to the I louse) the operation of the smuggler as baffling. all measures of prohibition. Assuming this to be true, as regards the more portable finished ma nufactures, it follows that we shall not get them any cheaper after the proposed reduction. Where then, we again ask, is the reduced cast qf living to coma from r We will tell him—if the present depression of commerce continues. From the reduced command of the precious metals by this country, which must lower all prices. STAN DI Rll—The exposition of the tariff occu pied the greater portion of the night's sitting. The reduction in the timber duties needed little to he said. in commendation ; but may we be pardoned if we ' supply an omis s i on suggested to memory by anotKr part. of the Premier's speech —we mean the Intimate connexion of the timber duties with the fis!ieries. It appears that the United Kingdom, and particu larly Ireland, is in the habit of importing inunense quantities of salted herrings. Now s - this seems to us a fact the most disgraceful to our legislation that can be 'imagined. Ireland has within a range of two hundred miles, on the western side, more and better ports than are presented by all the west coast of Europe, front the extreme north of Lapland to Gibral tar. Ireland is said to have two millions and a. halt' of people unemployed—of these five hundred thousand must be hardy and robust men. Now we speak from, direct knowledge when we say that the abundance:, of herrings, in the season, upon the west • coast of • Ireland is so great, that even this prodigious num ber of men would for several months of the year find full employment in taking them, if only the dmnand of all Europe would supply a market, which we think it would not. Why, then are the people of Irellind unemployed and ill foul, with the means of abundance of employment, and food mocking, as it were, their verc shores,? They have no boats, but such miserable craft as cannot live in any except time smoothest .sea. It is - a sight —a disgraceful sight—often seen—hun dreds of Dutch and even French fishing-boats, em ployed within the view ofthe starving Irish peasantry; taking herrings to b.! carried back to a continental port—there cured—and then sent once more west ward to he sold in Ireland. Now, it is impossible to assign any other cause for this disgraceful social paradox, but the high rate of the tim. her duties. By lowering these duties Sir Robert, Peel will create. ae Irish. Fishery, possessing tker,_ tages greater than any other fishery in the wor4 u l, :11141 in that create an inexhaustible supply for the navy. See- what. the French Government is doing, and wisely and ,patriotically doitrr, to create ports along its western coast, in. despite of nature ; and this with the avowed purpos e 'of keepin g up t h e supply of maritime thople ne cessary to support a navy such as tilt, political position of France requires. And we., to whom Providence has given the ports—we, •who have the people of whom we know not how to dispose —we, whose national existence depends upon our navy, sacrifice all, sacrifice the comfort of millions, the pro fits of a lucrative trade, and the means of national . security, to a wretched timber duty. W, who this day might have hundreds of thousands (now objects of pity, and suspici on , an d anx i ety ) cheerfully and happily employed in raising food for themselves and their fellow-creatures, put a petty tax as a bar be tween our country and so great a blessing. SUDDEN 1) ILITif .—Tuesday morning, at 6 o'clock a man, at present unknown, went into the coffee-shop, No. 44 Wych-street, Strand, and having called fora cup of coffee. sat himself down.

A tumultuous scene occumxl at the Theatre des Varieties, at Toulouse, on Tuesday. Some persona in the first t i er of boxes, having hissed the actors, the occupants of the pit, after many vain attempts to procure silence, began to throw dif ferent objects at the offenders in the boxes, who, in their turn. tore up their seats, and threw them at their assailants in the p it. The quiet portion of the audience rushed in alarm from the theatre.The polle e th en entered, and arrested several of the most t 'indent on b oth sides. o FRENCH P LAYS.—Madlle.

As the young Richelieu—Madlle. Dejazet enacts the boy—ambitious of being thought a man, and stung to the quick at, every mortification of :this his parvenu ambition. All this, with other points, was admirably expressed, and her attitude when she stood gazing at the box of sugar. plums, choking with anger and mortification, drew down a round of applause. The performance altogether was quite tacit cessful, and the actress was loudly called for at the conclusion. of the piece.
