The choice of a statesman to fill the vacant station of Governor General of India, at this moment deeply affects all those who are in any way directly connected with that vast dependency of the British empire; and the subject is of so extensive a nature, that it may well claim the attention of other reflecting persons whose interest in the concerns of India is less obvious. What a region is that of which we speak for one little European island to govern ! The pretensions to the vacant honour are various ; and if honour were all that the candidates sought, or all that the nation had to confer, we should not have said many words on the subject. The question, however, is, not " what shall be done to the man whom the King," or the State, or the Company, " delighteth to honour ;" but who shall best advance the interests of all in the Government of India ? Lord William Beatinck would most perfectly satisfy the wishes of the Directors ; his principles would accord with their views ; upon his integrity and intelligence they could repose, for he has already exercised the Government of one of the three Presidencies into which India is di vided—that of Madras ; and is, therefore, practised in the lesson of Indian politics. But he bas, unfortunately, given a vote or two upon detached, domestic, personal ques tions, which it is thought may now tend to obstruct his success. The Duke of Buckingham stands next. It has again and again been asserted, that he had no thoughts of the situation : those who put forth the assertion were not aware that the profession of indifference, the disavowal of expectancy, were but more obscure ways of acknow ledging incompetence, and conf e ssi ng th e i na d equacy o f pretensions. However, his Grace, contrary to former professions, now stands boldly forward as an avowed claimant of the appointment. He is great, and great exer tions are made in his favour. He has not enough to govern at home, and therefore he wishes for more extensive rule abroad. When it is said that there is " meanness' in pride," it is evidently intended by the proverb that meanness is conceived in the heart of him to whom pride is imputed, respecting others. Thence, probably, it is ima gined; that the presents of such trumpery articles as game may influence the Directors of the East India Com pany in the choice which they may ultimately make of a Governor-General of India; and the Duke of Buckingham is the only one of the candidates, if we may use a term generally which applies but to himself individually, who has made direct applications for the office. The Direc tors, as a body, are extremely averse to the nomination; and in a divided form of Government, it is surely desirable that the co-estates should at least start upon terms of con fidence and amity. The pique supposed (it is more than probable without reason) to exist in one quarter against the fittest man, — and the dislike harboured in another against the most poir erful and persuasive,—having puzzled the choice and created perplexity, the thoughts of the persons interested h colrt, closelyaveibeencast upon a third, the Ambassador at a foreign connected with the most distinguished name of the present day. Should doubt fix here, and differences be compromised, it will be more honourable for the indivi dual selected, as his absence has excluded him from com petition, or the exertion of personal influence ; and his noble relatives at home have frigidly, but honourably, wished that he should stand upon his own merits. Who ever attends to those considerations which we have en deavoured to impress at the opening of these statements— namely, the importance of the trust reposed, the value of our Indian possessions, the delicacy of the tenure by which they are ours, and the difficulty of governing them—must be convinced that merit constitutes the only secure ground of choice, the only safe motive for preference. It is, how ever, thought that some time will elapse before the nomi nation of a successor to Lord Amherst shall take place. It may be of importance to one of the candidates to pro tract the selection till after the month of April, when the customary change in the constitution of the Court of Di rectors may produce more subserviency to the dictation of the powerful but obnoxious candidate. Were we in his place, we should spurn a preference obtained through such chicane. Since writing the above we have heard of another can didate, the gentleman who stopped so long at a neighbour ing Court, from the difficulty of finding a successor; and who has since concluded a treaty as the representative of a Christian King and State, in this the 19th century of the Christian era, according to which refugees on political questions were to be surrendered to the vengeance of the predominant party at home, by the State that had afforded them refuge ! The Directors must smile at such a pre tender to their favours.—Tones. In the city of Gien, a man was tried for sorcery, i n the 16th century, and convicted ; he appealed to the Parliament of Paris, where the accusation was treated as frivolous, and the poor devil escaped. The Gien folks, however, tried him again another time, and burned him, without allowing him to appeal. The vulgar opinion of sorcery went so far in the 16th century, that a French author, writing upon the subject, says—" Many of e sorcer ers a r t . them h ave b oaste d , t h a t if they had but a chief to command them, they were sufficiently numerous to dethrone all the kings of the h " x l v n er t e duchyburnt e urntin o th f e S c a o v u o r y se , t o h f e o re ne w 3 a ,e s ar. one city in which 80 DIVIDENDS.

DUBLIN LINEN MARKET.—We are gratified in being enabled to state, that our linen market, now in progress, is unusually well attended by buyers from various pa r ts of England and Scotland. P urc h ases for foreign shipment have been consi derable, and the demand for goods suited for the borne consump tion of the sister country is greatly increased. The supply is, however, equa l to t h e demand,' and 'prices, though fully sustained, are not advanced. On the whole, we may safely assert, that the prospects of the linen trade are brightening. In the cotton trade, we rejoice to find that some improvement has also taken place ; considerabl e or d ers for shipping have been recently executed by seine of ourPrespectable calico-printers, and whenever a repeal of the ex c i se d uty on printed goods in Great Britain, shall throw open this department of trade to equal competition, we are per suaded that Ireland will start forward in the cotton manufacture under very favourable circumstances. In Irish woollen manufac tures the demand and prices continue steady.—Freeman's Journal Saturday. Major-General Sir T.

This diplomatist could not be ignorant theta* 'OA** olds* Guard of the King's Household and ofthe-artity bad-formed a re solution not to attend his .ball, and beingafraid den ei*ie dieer tion, he solicited an audience of his Majesty on Sundik, to begbic interference. It appears, that, in consequence of. this interelew, hints were thrown out to these officers on MonditY, thain their position they ought not to mix themselves up with en affair purely diplomatic ; that such a demonstration of• their feelings I !* . they were about to make, might not be entirely in accordanee. with the wishes of the King, and that perhaps it would be better in them to have the appearance of knowing nothing of what hadl34oo. Having gained the good graces of the King, the . A*4 . 4tian Ambassador was on Mond a y toil! Tuesday in 'high spiritg. - To render his anticipated triumph more complete, he inVited ' his brother Ambassadors to bring with them the whole hoef of Eng lish, Russians, Prussians, and foreigners of any note - nowin Penis. In vain did he multiply his invitations to• our countriniiiitt•— The only Frenchmen . who attended the ball - were thillimiaberS (all of whom were present except the Bishop Ofiferinooo) ; M. de Blacas, the First Gentleman of the King's Chambeiiii ser vice ; M. de Gody, the Commandant of the Swiss. M. It de Talaru and Demoustiers, the ex-Ambassadors tndadrid'• two Ladies of the Household of the Dauphiness and the .DriAs of Berry ; M. de Chabrol, Prefect of the Seine ; M. Feenehet, the Director-General of Police ; and the other Directori-Giniial of the Departments of the Ministry. When I bare inade thiienn meration, I have stated all the French who aceepted theAnitrian's invitation. The attendance of the Ministers showed their deter mination to support the object of Prince Metternich, as, perhaps, it was the first time that M. de Villele, M. de Corbiere, and M. de Peyronnet met at a ball. M. d'Appony appeared to be embarrassed and disconcerted.— He had hoped that his audience of the King would havt had a different result. It appears certain that the. King laid his com mands on M. de Clermont-Tonnere to join the party, but that Minister, who occupies the War Department, found means to be off. Times. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BEVERLEY MEETING, 1827.

RUINING MATCH.—A second match has been made between Moritz Rummell, the celebrated German runner, and John Berry, for one hundred pounds aside. The race, instead of ten, is to be fifteen miles, and is to take place on Sunbury Common, on Mon day, the 12th of March. Berry was desirous of making the match for ten miles ; but the German, who is best at a long distance , would not agree, unless Berr y ran him one hundred and fift y pounds to one hundr e d, which tie latter refused.
