DRURY-LAMI THEATRE. This theatre was crowded to suffocation last night, in consequence of a rumour having got abroad, thst Captain Ross intended to witness the performances. Many an anxious eye was, in consequence, turned to the Duke of Gloucester's box—but in vain ; the celebrated arctic naviga tor was not forthcoming—he was non est inventus, like his own papers, which be left in a cab the other day, much to the disappointment of John Bull, who, having paid to see a lion, felt himself an ill-used man on being, as it were, done nut of the exhibition. The acting of Mr. MACREADY, however, in Werner, might have reconciled an audience to a much greater disappointment. It was full of chastened feeling and manly simplicity. especially in the closing scenes where the horror-struck father discovers a murderer in the person of his own son. Mr. KING, as Ulric, played better than we have yet seen him. This strongly defined character—the merit of whose conception, by the bye, lies not with 'Lord Byron, but Miss LEE—came out with full effect in his hands. Mr. Coorgra's Gabor was a bold, bluff piece of acting, well suited to this actor's peculiar style. We were much struck with a description of a sun-rise in this play, which is full of true poetry, " Dawn Begins to grizzle the black hair of night." ___ After 11 , erner a new roelodrame was brought forward under the title of Prince Lee 800. During the first act the scene is laid in the Island of Pelew, about the period that the shipwrecked crew of the Antelope are finishing the yawl in which they hope to reach their native shores. Prince Lee 800 and Jack Blanchard, the former represented by Mdlle. CELESTE, and the latter by Mr. T. P. CoosE, form, as may be supposed, the prin cipal characters. The act is, seemingly with much thfficulty, eked out by long yarns by T. P. Cooae, and frequent skirmishes between the crew of the Antelope and a parcel of Pelewese, in which the former, headed by their boatswain, Jack Blanchard, and assi'ted by the Prince, are the conquerors. In the last scene of the act a most surprising effect was intended to have been produced in the launch of the yawl. Un fortunately, however, for the intention, a sufficiency of sea had not been provided, and in consequence the gallant ves.el, after leaving its stocks, at one bound passed over " its native element," and was left high and dry on the bare boards of the stage, within a few feet of the foot lamps. Up to this period, if there was no applause there was no disapprobation; but from the rising of the curtain for the second act until the end of the piece symptoms of the latter were repeatedly and loudly manifested. In the second act the Pelewese Prince figures in England, having been previously taught to speak English by his tutor and valet, honest Jack Blanchard. He, of course, as a foreigner, and a foreign Prince to boot, is much thought of. An English Nobleman and his daughter are introduced, and in the efforts to detach the Prince's affections from his faithful Ulva (Miss H. CAwsE) lies the main incident of the act, Ulva, however, has followed him to England (in what manner she effected the voyage is left to the imagination), and having accidentally met him at Greenwich Hospital, after a variety of difficulties and many hairbreadth 'scapes, is, through the instrumen tality of Jack Blanchard, united to him. Such is the plot of the piece. T. P. CooKE occasionally says a good thing, but it is quite evident theyare his own contributions. There are some good scenes interspersed throughout. A view of Greenwich Hospital, we should think by STANFIELD, was particularly and deservedly applauded. On the falling of the curtai❑ Mademoiselle CELESTE was sent forth to announce the repetition of the piece; but, after bearing the brunt of a mingled storm of hisses and applause for nearly five minutes, during which all her attempts to obtain a hearing proved ineffectual, she was led off by Mr. T. P. CooKE, who, while retreating, announced, in a stentorian voice, that the piece would be repeated this evening. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. Tuesday night.

THE ARMY. (From the Limerick Chronicle of Saturday.) ' The depot of the 25th, King's Borderers, march next week from Berwick to Glasgow, there to embark for Ire land, and to he stationed in Drogheda. The draught of the 25th under orders for the Wes , Indies, under the command of Brevet Major Holies, remain in Berwick-upon-Tweed until they embark, which they expect to do in the course of next week. An order has been received at Sunderland for two subalterns and forty rank and file of the 19th Regiment to embark to join the service companies at Trinidad. The detachment of the 43d Light Infantry, under Lieut. Levinge, at Duneannon, has joined head-quarters, and the station is now in charge of the Royal Artillery. The 7th Fusileers are ordered from Portsmouth to Newbridge; and on being relieved, the depot of the 99th Regiment will return to that station in the same convey ance that will bring over the Fusileers. The 14th Light Dragoons from Dublin, under com mand of Lieut.-Colonel Townsend, are to relieve the 15th Hussars at Cork. The 15th will, on being relieved by the 14th, proceed to Dublin. Captain Kaye's troop of the 10th Hussars (which had been stationed in Kilkenny for the last ten weeks) marched thence on Monday, on route to Newbridge. They have been replaced by another troop of the same regiment, commanded by Captain Gifford. The detachment of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, under the command of Lieut. Archer, marched from Cashel on Monday morning to Cahir, head-quarters. They will not be replaced. Lord Thomas Cecil commands the 10th Hussars at Newbridge. The garrison of Newbridge consists of the 10th Hussars, LiFut.-Colonel Lord I'. Cecil ; two com panies of the 80th Regiment, from Naas, Captain Lettsom ; and the depot of the 99th, under command of Major Mair. Wednesday Major-General Sir E. Blakeney made his half-yearly inspection of the 74th Regiment at the New Barracks, Beggar's Bush, Dublin. The Royal Artillery, stationed at Charlewont, was inspected on Monday by Major-General Macdonnell, C. 8., commanding the southern district. Major-General Sir T. Arbuthnot, on the morning of Friday, made his half-yearly inspection of the depots in Kinsale Barracks, when he was pleased to call Major Senior, of the 65th Regiment, commanding the depot, to the front, and express, in very warm terms, his entire satisfactio❑ with the appearance of the reserve. On Saturday, at Kinsale and Charles Fort, the 56th depot, under command of Mi . jor Mitchel, and the 29th depot, under command of Major Walter, were reviewed and noticed in terms of approbation by General Sir T. Arbuthnot. On Monday the Major-General inspected the detachments waiting at Cork for embarkation to join the service companies of their respective regiments; and on Tuesday the 61st depot, under command of Major Taylor, was inspected in the square of the Royal Barracks, where the Major-General inspected the 70th Regiment, com manded by Colonel Evans, C. B. On Wednesday last Major-General Sir T. Arbuthnot, K.C.8., inspected the Royal Marines, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Parke, C. 8., and the depot of the 97th Regiment, commanded by Major Tyler, in Spike Island. 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards.—On Mcnday Major- General Sir James Douglas, K.C.8., reviewed the squa dron of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards stationed in this garrison, making a finish of his half-yearly inspection of this gallant regiment, having previously inspected the detachment of Cashel, the troops at Gomel, and the head quarters of the corps at Cahir. The Major-General was pleased to express, having been most minute in his inspection, that every department of the regiment had met his highest approval. It is a practice in this regiment, on occasions like this, for Captains or Officers in command of troops to treat their men to a sumptuous dinner and a quart of good ale each man, from which all irrecoverable defaulters are excluded. Upon the recent inspection, the non-commissioned officers were regaled with a most excellent dinner by the commanding officer, and each individual, as on former occasions, presented with a bottle of wine from the officers' mess. The 99th will stay a few days in Dublin, in order to undergo their halt yearly inspection. The Grenadier and sth companies of the 27th have arrived at Enniskillen, being replaced at Cavan by the 2d and Sth companies. Last Saturday the pensioners were all paraded by Sir H. Vivian at the Royal Hospital, Kilmainhatn, when a communication from Government was read by the De puty Adjutant-General, intimating the dissolution of that establishment on the 31,4 December next. The present number of old men is 202, and the option is given them of proceeding to Chelsea, or remaining in the country on twopence of increase to their rates of daily pension. They will be again paraded on Thursday, when each individual is to declare his choice, and the affairs of " The Old Men's House," as it is commonly called, will be then wound up with all despatch, and the premises be delivered over to the Royal Artillery. Whether the Adjutant-. General's office and the residence of Sir Hussey Vivian can remain at the Royal Hospital after these arrangent nts is not yet settled ; but the general opinion is, that their ultimate destination will be Dublin Castle; for, on the intended abolition of the office of Lord Lieutenant, the Commander of the Forces will become the resident Go vernor of Ireland. The officers holding situations in Kilmainhatn will re ceive commuted allowances for their appointments, and Iwo or three of them go to England. The lease of the Artillery Barracks at Island-bridge will be got rid of, and a very considerable saving effected to the public. Such staff officers as at present receive lodging-money, are to be provided with quarters suitable to their military rank, and no officer in Dublin is to draw licus€ or office rent if he can be lodged in barracks or Government premises. The flibernia❑ School and the General Military Hos• pital, which are the only establishments left in Ireland, are expected to be broke up next year. We have been favoured with the following extract of a letter from the Mauritius, dated 20th May, 1833 :—"The island is at present tranquil. The 9th and 87th regiments garrison Port Louis ; the 29th are at Mahibourg ; and the 99th give all the detachments, namely, Flacq Powder Mills, Grand River (South East), Poudre d'Or, Can. ❑onier Point, Ville Bague, and Black River. The 82d detachment expected to embark to-morrow ; they return in the Jupiter, with excellent accommodation." The Voyager transport, with detachments for the 72d, 98th, and 99th, was eighty days o❑ her voyage to the Cape. No casualties occurred on the passage. This transport will bring back the remainder of the 82d to England. TURKISH CONFIDENCE.—The Grand Seig nior never suffers any of his officers to enter the apart. in.nts where his money is kept with clothes that have poeluAs in them. Gustavus, the ex-King of Sweden, has at last emerged from the obscurity into which he hsi fallen, and appeared again before the world, as the anchor of a philip pic against the liberty of the press, published at Aix-la- Chapelle. His ex-Majesty is ungrateful, for the press has always been open to him in countries free from censorship, whenever he wished to appeal to the public, and he has fiequeruly take❑ advantage of this freedom. lie now, however, wishes the public journals to be reduced to a complete nullity fur political purposes, and that they should be limited to the publication of ordonnances and news. It the Swedes peruse those luci:brations of their quondam King, they will find reasons for congratula.ing themselves wore and more on the expulsion from the throne of this avowed enemy io puolie liberty, who has ❑either learnt nor forgotten anything during his misfor tunes.—French Paper. REDUCTION OF THE LEEDS POOR RATE.- The great activity which has prevailed in this town and neighbourhood during the present year, in almost every branch of manufacture, has had a most beneficial eff.et in reducing the applications for parochial relief at our workhouse boaid. Twelve months ago it was necessary to lay a rate of 2s. in the pound on buildings, and Ss. on land. In May the rate was reduced to Is. Sd. on buildings, and 25.6 d. on land. The Wurkhou.e Committee have determined to lay the No vember rate at Is. 4d. in the pound on buildings, and 2s. on land. —Leeds Mercury, BURY THEATRE.-UNGALLANT CRITIC. —The announcement of Miss Archer in the part of Letitia Hirdy attracted a better house than usual on Thursday. Miss Archer is a lady of easy fortune, ac customed to move in a superior sphere of life, and enter taining a penchant for the stage, front " love, and no end else." It would be well if she would transfer her affections, and herself with them, to some object whom they might at once benefit anti adorn. We tell her sin cerely, and with the best meaning, that she can never either benefit or adorn the stage. It was painful to witness her complete inadequacy to the arduous part she attempted ; she was very deficient in the text, and injured materially the beauty of the dialogue. Her action, stiff and ungraceful, was evidently taught, and that after the manner of little boys and girls, who are made, by profes sional posture-makers, to saw the air to the sound of " Dly name is Norval," or " Pity the sorrows of a poor old man."—Bury Herald. 1(A'1. FASHIONS FOR NOVEMPRR: (From the Court 1 1 1a3az10e.) Winter mat• rims will this year surpass, bath in richnes4 and variety, those of many preceding season. Gros pi in • cease, plain satin, reps, and Cashmere, ate exJected to be most fashionable in out doors dress, for which the only ❑ovelties that have yet appeared are pelisses of the three first of these materials. A good many have the fronts of the skirts ornamented in a very complicated manner, by interlaced bands, reversed dents, and rouleaus disposed in a very novel style. The skirts both of pelisses and robes are of a still more extravagant width than last season; they are set on in double and even triple pl sits, in order that they may fall in folds to the very bottom. The materials of hats and bonnets are changed, but as yet the forms remain the same. Those of black satin, lined with coloured velvet, or coloured satin with black velvet, are most fashionable. Myrtle green, bleu Haiti, orange, and rose, are the colours contrasted with black, They are trimmed with flowers, or aigrettes, formed of ends of gauze riband ; in either case the trimming corres ponds with the colours of the head dress. Some of the new bonnets are of satin only, and lined with the same colour; but the trimming consists of flowers and ribands, in which black is very predominant. A pretty bonnet of this description is of rose-coloured satin, trimmed with rose-coloured gause riband figured with black ; a band of which, arched in front, is brought round the upper part of the crown ; it terminates in a rosette on one side, the ends of which descend upon the brim. A❑ aigrette, formed of sprigs of hyacinths, partly black and partly rose colour, completes the trimming. Furs are expected to be very much in favour, parti cularly sable. It is supposed, however, that as the seasen advances, ermine will regain some of its ancient vogue, though it is by no means likely to equal sable in estimation. Fine (lark chinchilla and squirrel back will rank next to ermine and sable. The Isabella bear is likely to be in request in evening dress : it is a favourite fur of the Queen's ; her Majesty weals it very frequently. It is yet too soon to say much of the forms in which furs will be employed ; but boas, we understand, are likely to continue in favour. A new kind of tippet, and a fancy snuff, both just imported front Paris, and as yet scarcely seen in either country, are to be introduced. The first will form an elegant finish to a dress, being a pointed pelerine, with epaulettes also pointed. The muff is one of those fancies that are likely to be temporary: it is extremely small, and made in such a manner as to form at once a muff and reticule. We suspect that it is likely to be adopted only by the merveilleuses of both countries. The colours that will be most in favour are marshmal lows, green of different shades, chesnut, bleu Haiti, ruby, orange, brown, and rose colour. (From the Lady's Magazine.) WALKING DRESS.-Hat of satin royal, of a new shade called triance Brinvilliers. The front of the bat is rounded at the lower part, and the crown is square or four-cornered at the top; it is trimmed with a rich satin riband, called ruban foulard ; and a single long ostrich feather springs from the bow, which is placed high, and rather towards the right side of the front of the calotte. The hair is parted on the brow, and the two braids, en fer a cheval, are brought down at the sides of the face, and turned up again. Over the dress is a manteau Bouyard, of satin, tritnined with swan's down. The cloak is con siderably shorter than the dress ; it is rounded at the corners, and has a large round collar in style of a cape and large " gigot" sleeves, in the front of which are arm holes. This cloak may either be fastened at the waist with a ceinture, or left loose, the wrap in style of a Vit choura, white mu-lin trousers, bottiness of satin royal. (From Bell's World of Fashion.) MORNING DRESS.—A carriage dress of emerald green Lithuanian silk ; the corsage square, and perfectly tight to the shape, having four plaits, draped en caw, front the shoulders to the point of the waist (which is confined by a rich Cordelier and tassels of black silk) ; the drapery of the skirts is so arranged as to divide from this point in front, and fall gracefully on each side en tablier. The Amadis sleeves have their fulness at the top gathered in, and fastened by two coquettish little tassels attached to a double cord, that reaches to the shoulders ; there are no cuffs, or any ornament on the lower part of the sleeve. With this dress, combining the chief requisites of an ele gant toilet, richness and simplicity, is worn a small hat en capote, of full rose colour gros d'lnde—it is placed very touch on one side, and has no ribands ; two beautiful white ostrich feathers wave over the crown, and brides of broad tulle edged with white blond float carelessly, and firm almost a scarf fur the neck ; a similar blond is sewn as a tucker round the corsage. Earrings of enamel and gold (the lozenge pattern), black kid slippers, and white silk gloves. EVENING DRESS. —A splendid costume, worn last week at the celebration of very distinguished nuptials, composed of Levantine satin; the colour the palest rayon du soleil, on saffron. The corsage is qui•e new, and called the paladin ; it has no point, hut is confined round the waist by four linked circlets of Vain gold ; the Alit is un adorned, except by three bows, placed en guir/ande, from each at which springs a bouquet of orange blossoms. The chernisetre and long, sleeves are of blond lace, the former being gathered into a little collar of black Venetian chain work, and the latter finished by cuffs of white satin ala Marie Stuart. The headdress, though it is borrowed from the lovely bridesmaid, p irt of its attraction is calcu lated to embellish any features. A long veil of the most transparent blond is fixed round the comb at the back of the head (a twisted bow of hair rising above), it falls entirely over the shoulders, and down nearly to the feet behind; a spray of orange blossoms rises like a feather in the bow of hair, whilst a corona! of Venetian Mosaic comes low upon the forehead ; the hair is divided and drtssed in very full glossy curls on each side. Venetian earrings, lace stockings, and hl irk satin sandalled slippers. COURT CARRIAGES.—At the Congress of Vienna, the Emperor of Austria wishing that none of the Sovereigns or persons of their suite should use any car riages but his, ordered three hundred to he prepared all alike. At every hour of the day and night, these carriages were at the service of his illustrious visiters—some of than with four horses, others with two, were to be met with in every direction ; the effect was surprisingly good. Lord S— never forgave thc.: late Mr. Heber for the active part he took in the election of Lord Grenville as Chancellor of the University of Oxford, whose success was mainly owing to the exertions of Heber. Lend Eldon was the defeated opponent. A lame black, unable by his own exertions to procure his food, was looked upon as rather an useless member of his society. After his associates were tamed they called him "The lawyer," because, said they, " he rats al: the grub that, other people catch."—Hobart Town Carrier. How TO GET A TIGHT RING OFF A FP:GER.-Thread a needle, fiat in the eye, with strong thread ; pass the head of the needle with care under the ring, and pull the thread through, a few inches towards the hand ; wrap the long end of thread tightly round the finger, regularly, all down to the nails, to reduce its size. Then lay hold of the short end of the thread, and unwind it. The thread pressing against the ring, will gradually remove it from the finger. This never failing method will remove the tightest ring without difficulty, however much swollen the finger may be. FIRSTINTRODUCTIONOF THE SHERIDANS TO FASHIONABLE LIFE.—It was at the house of the pre sent Dowager Countess of Cork, then as now, remarkable for its admixture of literary and fashionable society, that the late Duchess of Devonshire was struck by the singing of a very beautiful young woman, who was represented to her as a professional person, just married to an Irish gentleman of literary connections. " She is a charming creature, and I should like very much to have her at De vonshire-house," said the Duchess. " But what shall we do about the husband ? He is such an odd-looking per son, and the Duke so much dislikes arrangers ! I scarcely know how to manage it." Yrt within a year the odd looking man was the most favourite guest and distin guished ornament of the circle of Devonshire House ; the Duke himself, a scholar of no mean attainments, being often unabl e to tear himself away from the fascinating society of the all -accomplished Sheridan ! Court Journal Mr. Torn (alias Sir W. Couttenay) was yesterday (Monday) morning removed from the county gaol to the county lunatic asylum, on Hawing Heath. His removal has been regulated by the provisions of the 9th Geo. IV., c. 40, which provides for the management of prisoners who have become insane since their conviction. If" Sir William" had been known to be Mr. Tom pie viously to his trial, he would probably have been tried by a Jury as to his sanity. The same evidence would then have perhaps prevented hit trial for perjury, and be would have been imprisoned in a lunatic asylum during pleasure. On receiving an intimation that his removal was deter mined on he exprt ssed his willingness to go anywhere with the Governor, to whom he had become much attached. At the Asylum lie will have many comforts and conveni ences which the gaol could not furnish ; and it is to be hoped that his unfortunate malady will be so far subdued at the end of his seven year,' incarceration as to cure him of any further wish to represent the Canterbury Tories in Parliament, however well he may do so in his present abode.--Maidstone Gazette. /-/- 6 FRENCH ARMY Or THE PYRENEES.

" Until the arrival of the Major-Generals its command of brigades, the chiefs of corps, with the exception of those who compose the first brigade, will corresp , nd di. reedy with the Lieutenant-General commanding the active division, and will render him reports in the manner prescribed by the circular of the 20th September, 1831, which will also regulate the relations of the troops with the territorial divisions. The Lieutenant-General recom mends the chiefs of corps to consider attentively that regulation, in order to avoid any conflicts of attributions. "General Nogues will retain, with those new functions, those of the Commandant of the department of the Basses Pyrenees. " According to the instructions of the Minister, the service of this division is strictly one of observation and surveillance. The utmost vigilance must be kept up along the whole line, so that neither arms nor ammunition ❑or armed detachments may he able to enter France. All the chiefs of detachments stationed on the frontier are to collect with care every kind of intelligence, and communicate it to their superior officers, or direct to the Lieutenant-General himself if the subject be of sufficient importance. All conflict with the Spanish insurgents is to he carefully avoided. The Commanders of posts and of detachments are to limit themselves in keeping them in awe by their firmness, avoiding every thing on their part which may lead to collisions. It is expressly forbidden that any officer or soldier pass the frontier under any pretence whatever•. The Lieutenant General will take every measure necessary for keeping the frontier sufficiently furnished with troops, and that the correspondence may be kept up with strict regularity. The Lieutenant General is, from his la'e inspection, too well convinced of the excellent spirit, the brilliant order, and the exact discipline of the troops to entertain a moment's doubt of their proving themselves worthy of the confidence of the Government, and he esteems himself happy in having an opportunity of showing his devotion to his King with troops so capable of seconding him."

PREACHING IN THE OPEN AlR.—Yester day evening the Rev. G Smith preached in Hungerford fishmarket to a very numerous assemblage of persons. Oa it being announced that be intended doing so, a small detachment of the A division of police went to the spot, but did not interfere, or, in the Rev. Gentleman's own words, " they behaved very well." A mating has beet! cal'ed for Friday evening at the Bazaar, in Gray's Inn road, to take into consideration the propriety of peti tioning his Majesty on the subject of preaching in the open air. The highest price of wheaten flour of the first quality at Paris is 48 francs per 150 kilogrammes, which answers to I/. 10s. 3d. the English sack of 280 Th., and the highest price of wheaten flour of the first quality in London is 21. 10s. per sack. It therefore appears that wheaten flour is full 65 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris, and that with the sum of 21. 10s. a man may buy 4631 b. of fine flour at P,,ris, whereas with the same sum be can only buy 280Ib. in London. The highest price of wheat of the first quality at Paris is 16 francs 30 cents. per hectolitre, which is equivalent to 1/. 17s. 6d. The English quarter of eight bushels im perial measure, and the highest price of wheat of the first quality in London is 31. per quarter. It therefore ap pears that wheat is 60 per cent. dearer in Londo❑ than in Paris, .ind that with the stun of 3/. a ma❑ may buy 12 4 5 bushels of wheat of the first quality at Pais, whereas with the same sum he can only buy eight bushels in London. Much excitement prevails among the mer chants in the city connected with the West Indies, in con s quence of the understood determination of the Govern ment, not to admit into this country, except under a very heavy duty, the sugar made by the new process direct from the cane. They contend, and the argument is diffi cult to rebut, that the necessary effect of such an impost, laid on by the Government, is to make permanent an expensive, incomplete, and unphilosophical system of ma nufacture, and to prevent the introduction of an improved process, insuring the complete success of the operation, at once founded upon scientific principles, adapted to insure profit to the colonial planters, and encouragement to British commerce. By the old process, from the great heat employed in the evaporation of the cane juice, a great portion is necessarily converted into tnola,ss:s ; whilst the whole of the sugar is further deteriorated by its mixture with a portion which will nut crystalliz , — molasses and colouring matter, and by this a very i:aade• (late return is obtained for a most expensive outlay ; whereas, by the improved process, the cane juice is sub mitted to a simple analytic process, by tvhizli sugar of the best quality is obtained, and in the same quintity as it exists in the sugar-cane, as, from the modified heat which is employed, the results of the operation ar•e the mere extracts of the cane, without having undergone the changes consequent on its distillation by the former process. This new process will, it is further contended, cause the planter to employ a far less portion of labour,—a most important consideration while the emancipation of the slaves is in progress • and much confidence is felt therefore by the parties concerned, that a Government, whic., has lattherto shown itself so disposed to promote liberal measures, will not, in this instance, swerve from its usual course, and allow all the extended benefits above described to be sacrificed to the interests of the refiners at home. SMUT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Some valuable evidence was given before the Committee on " Manufactures, C(MlMerPe. Shipping, on the scat , " and orostwe's of the :ilk manufacture and silk trade. That mn,ut facture and trade are proved to he in a state of progressive improvement and of undenial)Te nrosrrity. In order to establish this fact, we , nay refer to the evidence of Mr. Williwn Haynes, of Manchester, o f M r . J a mes, of _ _ Cheapside, in London, and of one or two more witnesses engaged in the trade, and well ac quainted with its details. Mr Haynes states positively, that the " silk manufacture is a pro titablp trade, and rapidly increasing, and that his observation applies to all kinds of silk g oods ;" 'hat h e h as on ly k nown one f a il ure in thit trade in Manchester within the last nine years. though where there were five manufacturers •hen there are fifty now;" that the operatives are fully employed, and that none of them apply for parochial relief; that the stocks on hand are sinlll, and that the consumption is greatly in creasing. Mr. James fully support; and corro borates the testimony of Mr. Haynes, from even a more extensive experience. He likewise for cibly states the important fact that our silk fabrics are improving in quality, as well as ex tending in quantity. In such circumstances, it becomes of great importance to foster every pro ject, and to encourage every enterprise, which promise to give us a greater command over the raw material, or to extend its growth in our own dominions. Hitherto, as appears from the evidence of Mr. Larpetit, in the report on trade and manufactures to which we have just referred, nearly all the importations of raw silk from India have taken place throu g h the Com pany's ships ; and, o f course, the whole of the silk from China was theirs by their monopoly. The quantity imported in 1832 amounted to 14,970 bales, of which only 1,482 bales, or about one-tenth, were received from Beo ga l b y the private trade. Now that the Company is prohibited from continuing their commercial business, the whole of this important trade in silk must be abandoned to private interest. We mention these circumstances in reference to the state of the silk trade, and to the markets for the raw material, in order to introduce some valu able information on the culture of silk, and some interesting statistical accounts of its European growth, communicated by Mr. Felkin, of Tiver ton, in a letter addressed to Mr. Charles Grant, the President of the Board of Control, extracts froth which will be found in another column.— Times. Mr. Campbell Marjoribanks, the Chairman of the East India Direction, has displayed no inconsiderable portion of disinterestedness and self-denial, in resigning a post which confers upon its occupant so much distinction and pa tronage. It ►s, we believe, nearly as rare to find such an abandonment of official honours among the sovereigns of Leadenhall as among other sovereigns, and probably the present worthy and respected Chairman may thus run some chance to be ranked with the Diocletians and Charles V. of other days. The reasons which Mr. Marjoribanks assigns for this important .step are twofold, namely, the state of his health, and the state of the Company's Charter. With the former, of course, the public have - nothing to do ; it is a matter entirely between the Hon. Chairman and his physician, into which neither the Court of Directors nor the body of the Indian or British people have any right to in quire. If his letter of resignation, therefore, had alluded to nothing else, it would not have been a proper subject for a single critical remark; but when the Hon. Chairman tells us further, that among the motives for his premature retire ment is the difficulty or impossibility of proposing from the chair measures to execute the new con tract between the East India Company and the na tion, while that chair is occupied by hirnself,or one whose opinions were hostile to parts of the recent arrangement, we may still bow to his self-df,ny ing decision, but we must dispute the cogency of his political logic. There can be no con tradiction or incongruity in objecting to an ar rangement as impolitic while it is still under discussion, and at last, when it has become the law of the land, submitting to carry it into effect with as much zeal and spirit as it had been hailed originally with dissatisfaction. Betwee❑ the present period and the month of April next, we are aware that laborious duties await the President of the Court of flirectors,— ditties which infirm health might prevent Mr. Marjori banks from fulfilling to his own satisfaction ; but we see nothing in the sincere performance of these duties at all calculated to affect his cha racter for honour or consistency, though he op posed the new arrangement by which they are imposed ; while, on the other hand, in such trying circumstances, that experience of afiliirs, those habits of business, and that acquaintance with the interests of the Company which origi ginally promoted him to the chair, would be particularly valuable in enabling him to sug,,est the means of safely terminating the commercial transactions, and commencing or consolidating the new political settlement of this most mighty ~f political corporations. THE EAST INDIA CO3IPANY.—RESIGNATION OF THE CHAIRMAN. TO THE HON. THE COURT OF DIRECTORS. " Gentlemen,—Th e state 01 iny health for some months past has led me to contemplate the necessity of relinqui.•h iug the seat which, through your favour, I have the honour to hold, fa. the third time, as Chairman of the Court of Directors. " So long as the affairs of the Eist India Company were under the consideration of Paiharm-tit and of the Court of Proprietors, I abstained from giving effect to tiiy own w is,es, because I thought it po-s,hle that my resignation of the chair during the progress of the negotiation mi4ht be attended with inconvenience, it not with embarrass. ment to the public service. " That reason no longer exists, and it now becomes the duty of the Chairs to submit to the consideration of the Curt the several measures necessary for carrying into operation the provisions of the new act In the course of th arrangements much novel and important business .nest be originated and brought forward as regards the India and the home establishments. " I have al rea dy recorded the opinions which I enterta i n with r e f e r ence t o t h e general pr i nciples of the late agree ment between the p u bli c an d t h e Company. I regret to state that, after a deliberate reconsideration of the whole subject, and an attentive perusal of the Act (since printed), Ido not see any reason to al'er those opinions. It is impossible, therefore, that I can hope to prumi e measures connected with the future administration of Indian affairs which shall be satisfactory to myself, still less can I under such circumstances indulge the expectation that the y would prove more satisfactory to the Court. It is toe these reasons, combined with the principal cause which has fed to this communication, and which coutinu,s still more tr e a d cting upon strongly original to determination, o n thatthe i p propriety er t e y ! resign the chair, aid to retire into the body of the Court, Where prom ote the intetests of the peopl e of I shall continue, so far as my health will r'rmiri to giv e my best aid in support of any auras . vhacta way appt•ar oo d h u v ri i:tiun th t e b tit rln.'sllaa:vl:elh:liv "ln adopting this course 1 beg to assure the Cuur, t h at app reciate the cotifidence which I aiave expe, a ienced 3 honour 01 set ving them in oiw or other or c chairs, 1131 t it h on a dn t i lae l acna o tli n c l ou y thtt r he e ed l relinquish e I n dia e Company.p e lel l " 1 hlve ' tress honour to t h t o h l e d i undertheir hands.
