ARTFORD AND CRAYFORD SHIP CANAL. Had not experience shown that the most obvious and valuable improvements are the I , cest to be projected, we should have wondered that •^ 'Ship Canal from the Thames to Dartford had not 1y.... en Dartford, and its executed long ago. As it . :, _, rising into impr„tance, and becoming aeighbouring town Crayfm:d d, are fast , 7 - eats of various and extensive. mr nufactures ; and the, of a kind in which the weight of the Materials bears a very high proportion to the ettlf..ntit y of labou r expen d ed on them, and therefore PecPlAarly requiring the utmost facility for the conVeyance of heavy goods. This seems to be one of those cases in which the old fashioned canal is to be prefered to the newer and more fascinating railway ; for two reasons, first because water carriage is best adapted for heavy goods, and next because a junction of the town of Dartford with that great highway of commerce, the Thames, will open a communica tion not only with London, but with all the world beside. Dartford cannot remain long content with the scanty and uncertain accommodation afforded by its sinuous and shal low creek, while all the rest of the world is starting into new life, by multiplying its arteries of circulation, and two little miles of easy Cutting will bring it all the advantages of th e new order c'i things. The Ferry to the Essex shore is a valuable addition to the plan. we are glad to hear that the gentry and inhabitants of the neighbourhood have taken up the schem e with great vigour, and we doubt not they will find the remaining shares soon taken up by the metro politan cap i talists ; for, of all the projects which arejust now jostling each other for public favour, few appear to us likely to du so well for their supporters as the Dartford and Crayford Ship Canal, and Kent and Essex Ferry. R. O'CONNELL. (From the Liverpool Albion, of Monday.) CAUTION. —A rtunour is prevalent that the Orangemen, who have been recently organized in Liverpool, entertain the wicked design of provoking a quarrel w ith t h e C at h olics, should Mr. O'Connell make a public entry, on Wednesday tinext, into this town. The rumour may be " a weak inven ton o f the enemy ;" but, as there is no knowing to'what "7: 11 1s party rage and religious bigotry may push men, we st that every precaution will be taken to prevent any disturbance of the public peace on Wednesday next. We throw out this hint for , the i dance of th e gu gentlemen who have und erta k en to prepare and to superintend the ceremo nial of receiving and entertaining Mr. O'Connell. To -day the Honourable and Learned Gentleman will be entertained at a public dinner by his constituents. From Dublin he comes to Liverpool on Wednesday. Hence he Will proceed to Birmingham; joining the immense concourse of Liberals from various parts of the country who are to assemble in the Town-hall on the 28th, to testify their unabated attachment to Reform, and their resolution to a tand by the men who perform their duty to the people without flinching. LIVERPOOL DINNER TO MR. O'CONNELL. r, 'rho publi c di nner to Mr. O'Connell is fixed for Wednes °!y next, i n the Corn Market, Brun sw i c k- street.

Mr. R a thb one, as Chairman of RATHBONE, the Committee, sent a letter of invitation to Mr. Ewart, who, in accepting the in vitation, writes—" With you I warmly sympathize in the ti longs of Ireland, and I believe that, not Ireland only, but Great Britain is deeply indebted to the powerful talents and exertions extions o f M r. O ' Connell. " The letters from this Hon. Member, as well as from Rigby Wason, G. Williams, and P. Thornby, Esqrs. are published in the Liverpool Albion, of yesterday. All these distin guished gentlemen (Mr. Thornley we see is engaged to Meet his constituents at Wolverhampton, and perhaps will not be able to attend at Liverpool) in accepting the invi tation, tece occasion to express their sympathy with Ire land, ar,d to acknowledge the claims which Mr. O'Connell has Ili - ion the respect and co-operation of the Reformers of tn6and.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.I The greatest object of ' the last monfl- ' the • t pUOIIC curiosity in IttfAllll during uas been Miaciation." Since ...dales of the CoMmittee originating thi s Instil:Min \Vete firth published; the inajoritY of 4uid-nun cs not only hi Dublin, but thraelai thp ciitiri r i have been watching its 066VainAi With Cohsiderable attention and anxiety. , Nor were Reformers alone the observant parties the Conservatives themselves have been looking on wild great interest, feeling that their hopes of future domination were'deeply involved in its success: nut curiosity in this respect is now somewhat snspetulecl—the object in view being nearly accomplithed, by the perfect Organization of the Societr---"dinridium facti qui coil habet." The vessel is fairly launched, and no doubt exists but that, in due time, it will bring us ell safe, and arrive at its destina tion—the haven of political repose and prosperity for Ire land. For it is with the hope of attaining . such an o bj ect that great num b ers o f mo d erate men of all persuasions have joined in its formation. We turn, therefore, to contemplate the operations of the approaching Session of Parliament: •Never Was expectation more intense than that with which the hapress edition of The Sun will be weleomed on the sth and 6th of next month, on this side Of that) thannel. In the mean time we are very busy in dlonssing those topk Which are sup posed to have the first claim Ott the attention of Govern ment and the Legitinthte. And our neighbours will not, I. an, scrt s Cavil at the egotism which prompts tO think, that the st a t e o f their country is a pa rialunnt case, with those who are to a certain extent re sponsible for the welfare of the United Kingdom. We do, indeed, look upon this Session as the most critical and im portant of any that have passed since the revolution of 1688 : because, it must either confirm the principles of that event, recently put into operation among all the sub jects of England--or, omitting to do so, expose Ireland to the usual and habitual consequences of disappointment. Should the latter alternative unfortunately take place, the nation will be again thrown back into that state of inquie tude and agitation, to much censured and complained of by the Conservati'ves during the last five years. The prevail ing oploion, however, is, that we will be no longer exposed to those evils ; but that the work of Reform will be this year accomplished—that the tithe question will be set at rest, either by Lord Morpeth's Bill, in the form it was submitted to the Lords last Session, or with such modifi cations as may obviate the objections of some reasonable and respectable opponents, without forfeiting any of its ma terial provisions —that a Registration Bill like that operat ing in England will pass into a law—that other Bills for the economy and better government of this country by the Executive will receive equal consideration—and that some relief for the suffering poor of Ireland will be brought un der consideration, and receive the sanction of Parliament. The last mentioned measure is one that ought not to be delayed ; as the misery of which it may, be the remedy is great and urgent ; and as under its provisions may be embodied a system of domestic police or surveillance, highly beneficial to, and promoting the improvement of the humbler portion of society iri this country. I have withinAhese few days, heard frequent mention of the necessity of some immediate attention to this subject. It has been a subject of very general conversation among respectable coteries, in consequence of the following circumstances, —first, the ex pulsion of tenantry by Tory landlords ; second, the lament able decrease of subscription to the Mendicity Institution in this city, during the last year ; and third, a discovery of funds for "charitable uses," a great part of which, it is sup posed, have never been properly applied either in Dublin or other parts of Ireland. For this discovery we are indebted to Mr. Dalton, a gentleman well known for his publications respecting the ancient and modern statistics of Ireland. It appears that he was examined by the Edu cation Committee of the House of Commons, last Session ; and furnished, from a collection of statistical manuscripts, and other documents in his possession, information which, I have the authority of a Member of Parliament for stating, was deemed of great importance to the subject of the in quiry. He has since reviewed those manuscripts, with a view, as he says, of exhibiting " a wider scope of charitable funds generally, which may be rendered more available and beneficial to the country, than they are at present." The result of this review is a " Digest of Funds intended for Charitable Uses in the City of Dublin," which has been printed, and distributed among Mr. Dalton's friends, and some Members of Parliament. It consists of only a few folio pages, but it is very curious and interesting ; showing, that a sum of 31,3621., the annual produce of grants, do nations, and bequests, is actually available for the education and support of the destitute poor of this city—exclusive of all infirmaries, hospitals, asylums, the associations for discoun tenancing vice, the London Hibernian Society, the Kildare place Society, the National Board of Education, the produce of all private subscriptions, donations, College funds, and all casual and fluctuating funds derived from Parliamentary grants or otherwise ! In fact this sum appears to be of the denomination of " resources unknown" to, the public ; and it is conjectured that a very small portion of it is really disbursed according to the intention of the donors. Nor is this circumstance charged as neglect or fraud upon any person or persons ; for there are nearly 200 items in the paper, some Of them so small as not to compensate for the trouble of an nual distribution to the intended objects, where no general Board or Corporation exists, having controul over them. When it is con s id ere d what great bnefit this city has de rived from the Mendicity Institution, which never had at its disposal more than one-third of the sum pointed out by Mr. Dalton, great advantages may be expected from a con solidation of such of these several small funds, as actually pertain to the support of the poor, into one general fund, under the control of some properly organized institution. But his researches are not confined to the investigation of funds for the benefit of the metropolis alone ; he gives a. list of sums, founded on conjecture and a cursory inspection of his manuscripts, varying from 14,0001. to 2.501., similarly appropriated to the 32 counties of Ireland, and making alto gether 86,3301., which, with the 31,3621. already mentioned for the poor of Dublin, amount to 117,6921. a-year, for the education and support of the poor of Ireland. Now this is but small towards the relief of the millions requiring food for mind and body throughout the land. It would, how ever, if properly administered, effect an immensity of good, as may be fairly inferred, on considering the great advantages derived from the Board of Education during the last two years. That Board and the Mendicity Society have not anything like half the sum just men tioned ; yet they have both effected a visible and salutary improvement in the condition of the poor that come within the range of their limited powers of beneficence. And even beyond the sphere of their exertions the examples of in dustry and knowledge established by them are'alrcady pro ductive of very happy results. The sum set down for the City of Dublin is demonstrated to be at this moment available for the purposes intended ; and though Mr. Dalton does not pledge himself to the accuracy of the 86,0001. for the other parts of Ireland, there is great probability, from his character and information on such matters, that more ample funds might be discovered, according to his sugges tion, if a Commission of enquiry were instituted. A similar Commission was, I believe, appointed many years ago by. Lord Brougham in England ; whether the result of their labours has realised the advantages anticipated from them I know not ; but at all events it. might be a guide to the exe cutive or legislature as to the kind of Commission that ought to be appointed for the same purpose in Ireland. Such an enquiry need not retard the immediate adoption of Poor Laws ; because it is clear, that, whatever discoveries or information might be elicited could at any time be made auxiliary to the purposes of the Board of Education and Poor Law system, if the latter, as is expected, shall be soon established here ; or the managers of these institutions might be made the managers of the funds for " Charitable Uses," which such a Commission woull point out. Another topic occupying the attention of many persons here is the settlement of the Tithe question. The Arch bishop of Dublin, Doctor Whately, is getting up an Ad dress, already signed by many very respectable dignitaries and clergymen of the Established Church, from which it is' conjectured that Government have a liberal and compre hensive plan in contemplation, that will conciliate the preju dices of all reasonable men. It is thought that. the " Ap propriation" clause will be merged in some arrangement equally acceptable to the Catholic portion of the commu nity. I have no authority for contradicting these rumours and surmises, other than the opinions of a few friends and my own, which amount to this,—that Lords Melbourne, Mulgrave, and Morpeth, will never consent to surrender so great a principle as tha"l on which the present Government has been formed; nor could any settlement, however judi cious and effectual, satisfy the people of the United King dom, and be a compensation for such a surrender on the part of Ministers. MR. RUTHVEN, M.P. FOR DUBLIN.--W e are happy to learn from the following announcement that the information which was conveyed to us a few days ago, of the death of Mr. Ruthven, was unfounded :—" Edward South well Ruthven, M.P., and Mrs. Ruthven and suite, arrived on Tuesday evening at Gresham's.

The inhabitants of our town have already seen enough of " the working" of the Municipal Corporation Act, to justify the most sanguine expectation of future sub stantial and important advantages.

We have received Java Papers to the stl Dee: ; from which we take the following paragraphs :—" An account from Lebek (in Bantam), says, that on the 26th August there was a very severe shock of an earthquake, nearly at the same time as that at Padang., which we mentioned in our last number," " We learn from Tykao that the warehouses and other buildings there were in great danger in the ni g ht o f th e 20th September o f being destroieby lire, By some acci dent the forest On the other side of the river Tyterom, which runs by this place, caught fire, and in consequence at the long continued drought the flames spread with great rapidity, and soon reduced to ashes a tract of about six pal in extent.

We hear that his Majesty has been pleased to give to the third son of the Prince of Orange the tank of Lieu tenant in the Navy, of the second class. AMSTERDAM, JAN. 21.—We have several times men tioned the probability that preliminary operations for a railroad between this city and Haarlem would commence in the spring. We now learn that the greatest difficulty lies in the opposition of the owners of the land over which the road would pass, who are not inclined to part with it. BERLIN, JAN. 9.—ln the negotiations with Mr. Wheaton, the American Envoy here, for a treaty of commerce and navigation with Prussia, acting for the States of the German Commercial Union, it was to be expected That Mr. Wheaton, before entering on the question whether the productions of Germany should be admitted into the American ports on more favourable terms than at present, would require a re duction of the import duties on the principal productions of the United States, such as rice and tobacco (raw cotton is subject by the Prussian Tariff to a very small duty, for the sake of the German manufacturers). Meantime it has been observed to Mr. Wheaton, that the duties on rice and tobacco can be considered only as duties on consumption, which interest only the interior of the country. But it has been demonstrated on the part of America, by the report of the Consuls of the Hanseatic cities, that the high duties to which the articles in question are subjected on their " 1. That the Lizerias of the Tagus and Composta, may be sold for current cash, either together or in separate lots, as may be deemed fit. " 2. That in the sales for cash, where the property does not exceed in value 200 milreas, the amount to be paid im mediately- " Where it is of the value of 200 milreas, that 200 milreas be paid immediately, and the remainder in two annual in stalments. importation into the States of the German Commercial Union must certainly' have diminished the consumption and checked the sale ; that besides, according to the exist ing American Tariff, most of the articles of German manufacture, enjoy in part in the United States an entire exemption from import duties, and that a successive reduc tion of the duties on other articles may be expected, as re sults from Mr. Clay's Bill of 2d March, 1833 ; and that therefore it does appear why more extensive favors should be asked ; that there was the less reason to insist on this, as America adopted the principle that the flag covers the merchandize, that is, in levying the duties it was not the custom to require certificates of origin ; but that, on the contrary, the only question was, to what nation the ship buying the goods belonged. DEUX PONTS, JAN. 16.—We have had an inundation, exceeding even those of 1784 and 1795. In the morning of the 12th, the water rose to the height of six or eight feet in several streets, and swept everything before it. The amount of the damage done is not y e t known. A great number of domestic animals perished. Quantities of goods in the warehouses and shops were entirely destroyed, or much injured, and those in the cellars, which are still under water, are probably all spoiled or destroyed. Happily no lives were lost.

The following proclamation has been addressed by the Spanish Government to the inhabitants of the Basque pro- l'inces : " Two years have now passed since, perfidiously insti gated by a small body of individuals, the greater part strangers to your customs and your language, you raised the standard of rebellion against a Queen who never in tended to abolish your ancient and venerable institutions, nor thought of de s t ro yi ng th e sacre d re li g i on o f your fore fathers. T wo y ears h ave passe d , an d d ur i ng a ll t h at t i me your soil has been bathed w ith th e bl oo d o f your b es t chil dren ; an d, i n s pit e o f t h e tenac i ty o f your nat i ona l cha racter, and the advantages afforded by your topographical situation, you have not succeeded, up to the present day, in extending a single inch the dominion of your chief. His tory will never credit that in a country so celebrated for the origin and tradition of its liberal institutions, where prac tical liberty fled for refuge when the whole continent of Europe was obscured by despotism and ignorance, that there in the 19th cen t ury , a b so l ut i sm an d t h e I nqu i s i t i on could with any success be invoked. No, Basques, the time is come when your delusions must be completely dispelled. Cruelly deceived by the principal authors of your calamities, you conceived for a moment the absurd hope of being as sisted by a Northern Government ; but, situated at a dis tance yof 500 leagues from you, and not being able to move a single man without the consent of the Cabinets of London and Paris, he would afford your cause but poor assistance, who, to maintain the peculiar essence of his Government, is obliged to depend on the moral re-action of the age and of modern ideas. So far from the slightest hope being left you, an army of 100,000 valiant men, supported by the omnipo tent alliance of England, France, and Portugal, is about to occupy your territory ; and at a moment so terrible for the rebellious, and so cheering for the loyal, her Majesty desires again to address you as a Queen, and to remedy your evils as a mother. Every one of you, who, being convinced of his errors, shall choose to quit the standard of the Usurper, and retire into France, shall be de facto amnestized, and shall receive through the Spanish authorities at Bayonne four reals a-day, if a private soldier, and more if an officer, or if he surrenders himself with his arms and horse. Thus you will obtain security and repose against the vexations of your oppressors : you will have at the same time bread to satisfy the hunger of your wives and children ; and you will return, finally, to the affectionate embrace of a Queen, who will never cease to lament the terrible consequences to which your ingratitude and blindness will expose you." CONSTANTINOPLE. (From a Morning Paper Correspondent.) DEC. 30, 1835.—Lord Ponsonby obtained the firman of the Sultan for the suppression of Mehemet Ali's mono polies on Sunday last. It is couched in the most decided terms, and applies to those of Egypt as well as Syria, which it denounces as illegal, 'contrary to existing treaties, and unauthorised by the Porte, which possesses the ex clusive right of imposing them. No ulterior steps are indicated in the event of his refusal to submit so this man date : and England, in concert with the Porte, will be at liberty to adopt such as they may deem expedient. Indeed, when pressed on this point by the Reis Effendi (at the in stigation of the Russian Minister, who wished to defeat his object), Lord Ponsonby, after demanding some time for consideration, replied with his usual tact, that his Govern ment would act conformably with its interests and dignity, and would take no measures without consulting the Porte and without its concurrence. Armed with this power by the Porte, which, as regards Mehemet Ali, is one of positive annihilation, it is to he hoped that its application on the part of our Government will be equally prompt and unsparing. It is known, that having received his cue from Russia, he is already pre pared to withdraw his monopoly on silk, which is specifi cally mentioned in Lord Ponsonby's note, and subsequently in the firman ; but its execution must be as sweeping and resolute as its tenor. Not orgy silk, but cotton, on which, to the amount of 250,000 bales, he defrauds his subjects of the annual profit, must cease to swell the arrogance of this overgrown vassal, and minister to his ambitious and treasonous designs, already matured for the spring. News has been received by a Tartar from Bagdad, that, without any provocation, he has seized and fortified the town of Dair, on the Euphrates, belonging to that pachalik. Moreover, that the tribe of Arabs named Anassees have delivered to him the town of Annah, another of its depen dencies, so that as was long anticipated, it is now evident that the storm will burst in this quarter ; and that Bagdad is the prize he has principally in view. You have already learnt from . my forme r l e tt ers , h ow care f u ll y he has secured himself from any interruption on the side of Asia Minor and Mount Taurus, by rendering every pass impregnable. It is clear, therefore, that unless we make a speedy and effectual use of the opportunity now presented us for inter ference, that the Porte will be involved in hostilities, and Russia once more on the scene, to complete the denort6- meat long since predicted by Catherine. " When both horns of the crescen t," sa id t h e E mpress i n a l et t er to Voltaire, " Greece and Egypt, shall have been eclipsed, we will easily extinguish the remainder." With respect to the former country, Greece, it is not only extinct as regards Turkey, but will probably, ere long, conspire with Egypt in inclosing this devoted empire with a hostile frontier in every direction. I have learnt, on the best authority, that the marriag e l ong i n negot i at i on b etween Ki ng O t h o and a Princess of the Russi an dy nas ty, i s finally arra nge d. Re ligious no less than political scruples were said to have ren dered the Bavarians averse to the match, but their reluc tance has at length been overcome by the intrigues and as cendancy of Russia's Cabinet in this part of the world. The poor Greeks were made to feel most unequivocally, that while Russia withheld her influence, no treaty of commerce, or any other object essential to their interests, not even common courtesy, will be expected from the Porte. They have, in consequence, been compelled to consent to submit to the matrimonial yoke ; which, unless the other Euro pean Powers strenuously forbid the bane, will unite their country to Russia as indissolubly as any other province of the empire. Tahir Pacha is expected here every day with his flotilla, „augmented, since its departure, by one frigate, recently con ' tructed at Mytelene. It is a 63, built after the model of his Majesty's frigate the Blonde, and is said to be quite equal to its prototype. Indeed, if the Turkish ships were only manned as well as they are built, they might not only defy the naval reaources of Russia, bqt cope with thos9 pf the Maritime States par excellence. Including ships of all rates and metal, their navy is composed of fifty ; viz., two three-deckers, ten ships of the line, seventeen frigates, and twenty-one corvettes and smaller vessels. The wind and current rendering it impossible bring the ships into the arsenal t steamers, the whole flee: has been towed into it by them, ve:37 fortunately in time to Ls, sheltered from the storms which have been raging these last tI;P or three darit: They are all to be immediately dismantled. Advices oC the' sth instant from Teheran give a most discouraging account of the state of Persia. The young Shah, who had given some promise of vigour and intelli giettee at the earlier part of his career, had abandoned him seicitild fire affairs of his country to an unworthy favourite named Hagi lit Agassi. This man, who has usurped all the powers of the okectltive, is described as active and ambitious, but destitute of all sound capacity, and utterly unprincipled ; a compound of craft, malignity, and servility —forming one of those mischievous characters iP public affairs, which the East alone can generate. Under this wretched Minister no efforts were made, save those of ex tortion, to enable the country to meet the indemnity due Russia by the Treaty of Kermashah, which is draining it of its last tomaun. PORTUGAL. Project of Law submitted to the Portuguese Cortes on the 13th inst. by M. Campos, Minister of Finance. From Lisbon Papers received to the 18th inst. inclusive : " Gentlemen—l had conceived a hope that, so soon as the preliminaries of the Session had been disposed of, and the Chambers had proceeded to business, I should have been able to lay before you an account of the expenditure of the year terminating last June, with the estimates of the new financial year, accompanied by such accounts and documents as would have thrown light upon these subjects —such, for example, as an account of the debt subsequent to the Ist of August, 1833—0 f the expenses which it would be necessary to incur until the end of the present year, and of the liquidation of Titulos and other debts. " Yet notwithstanding all the assiduity that has been de voted to this subject, it has been as yet impossible to over come the difficulties, and satisfy my anxiety. 1 trust, how ever, within f a few days to be able to discharge this obliga tion, and to put the Chamber in a situation, if not of form- inn a very precise opinion of the state of the public finances, at least of acquiring a knowledge upon the subject more extensive than could have been hoped from the confessedly brief time I have been permitted to take it i n t o consideration. " As, however, the first necessity of the nation is, that the public service should not suffer, I am 'obliged, by the force of circumstances, to separate from the general state ment which is to accompany the budget, that part which I have to-day the honour of submitting to your consideration, with a view of providing that remedy which the urgency of our situation imperiously demands. " From the moment that the pres en t Ad m i n i s t ra tion took charge of the public affairs, they not only found no disposable funds with which they could meet the regular expense of the public service —but, on the contrary, they found a part of those resources, which were destined for the service of other years, already swallowed up by anti cipation. " The monthly payments for the contract of tobacco, hey found mortgaged for 930 coutos of reis ; the Custom- house revenues—the permanent and most secure resource of the State, burdened with bills by anticipation for more than 400 contos, 100 contos of which become payable at the end of next June ; besides 500 contos of Treasury Bills ; 200 contos of the contract of Lindemberg, and bills upon England for 87,0001. sterling, which it was ne cessary to accept—all of which shall be laid before you. " In these embarrassments, with a debt in arrcar to be paid—with a current expense, which it was necessary to supply—with but a small revenue at its disposal, and that already in part consumed by anticipation ; the Administra tion ardently desired the re-assembling of the Chambers, convinced that from their wisdom alone would proceed such an impulse, as would at once place the administration of our finances upon true principles—provide for the indispo- EAST INDIES. By the Roxburgh Castle we have received the monthly summary issued by the editor of the Oriental Observer, dated Calcutta, Sept. 16. The following are the most in teresting extracts The subject most interestinr , to those connected with Indite military affairs, is the departure for England of Mr. Curnin, the gentleman who has recently published a plan here for a retiring fund for the Indian Army. Many of your readers will be distressed to hear that the Civil Fund of this Presidency, which has recently been de clare() to be in a most flourishing condition, is now pro nounced in a state of insolvency, the deficit being upwards of five lakhs of tepees. It is now proposed to reduce the pensions from 300/, to 250/. per annum. The selection and appointment of the Rev. Mr. Dealty to the Archdeaconry by Bishop WilsoZ l , has been a sub ject of warm discussion for several days cast in the daily journals of the Presidency. Those who tic.":ve ranged themselves on the side of his Lordship, contend that: he has a right to choose whom he will, without respect to length of service, or seniority. Others contend that whatever may have been the prerogative of Bishops here tofore, and although an arbitrary choice was made, yet pre cedents are no rule for the present time, as under the new arrangements the duties of Archdeacon are to be per formed by a chaplain, with an additional salary of 250 rupees per mensem, and that these, with the increased al lowance, ought, in justice, to devolve on him who holds the pLce of . seniority in the establishment. The general impression m that the Episcopal authority has stretched itself, in this instance, beyond its measure. It is said, however, that the secior Chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Robert son, intends to memorialize the Court ; and I hope, if an act of injustice has been committed, and if there are means of redress, they will be found out ; but if nof, that the se nior chaplains will submit to the appointment with a be coming spirit of meek endurance. Inniao.—The weather, during the past week, has been highly favourable for manufacturing in the Kishnaghur dis trict, and my latest advices from Tirhoot are more favour able, in as far as the weather had cleared up , which , it w a s hoped, would raise the produce considerably, there having been a great falling- off in that respect. I have letters from different districts, giving details regarding the crop, the publication of which, however, would not be of much utility, the estimates founded on thei.? being, in no material degree, different from those already noi.ced—say 110,000 to 115,000 mds. SALTPETRE.—There has been a fair amount of business doing in Saltpetre, for the English markets, at steady prices. SUGAR.—The market continues in an active state, and prices are firmly supported. RAW SILK AND PIECE GOODS.—I have not any opera tions of consequencelo quote in these ; the accounts from England of piece goods are rather encouraging. RICE.—In the fine sorts nothing doing. Moonghy, for. Mauritius and Eastward, has been in good inquiry. OPIUM.-1 have no change to note in this. Our China accounts by the Water Witch quote 640 dollars, as the sell ing rate of Patna. COTTON.—There are many buyers in the market, for England and China, and prices within the last two days have advanced—our news from both quarters is good. WAR IN TEXAS. The packet ship Mexican, front Vera Cruz, brings dates from that city to the 3d inst., and frcZyn the capital to 28th ultimo. As usual, the intelligence frotir that country, though interesting, is nevertheless somewhat C,intradictory. We have collected from the papers, and front Pra ate sources, the following items, which we think may be K.'liej upon, or at all events are believed to be as nearly true a:, can be expected to reach us from a country where want of confidence, even in the transmission of letters, renders both natives and foreigners cautious how and what they write, and where all the public prints are enlisted in favour of the present efforts to establish the new or Central form of - Government. The President, Santa Anna, who arrived in Tacubaya about the middle of Novembei, had left for San Luis Potosi, the 27th of the same month, taking with him some 250,000 or 300,000 dollars, fifteen hundred or two thousand men, and a dozen pieces of artillery. It was reasonably presumed his first attention would be directed to dislodge Mejia from Tampico, should the latter, as is reported, have secured possession of that important town. It is admitted Mejia landed at or near the Bar of the Tampico about the 14th ult., with some two hundred and fifty to three hun dred men ; that on the 15th or 16th he attacked the town and was repulsed, with loss of some killed and wounded, and forty prisoners, as is stated by the officer who com manded at Tampico. • It is, however, affirmed, that on the night of the 18th . or 19th, he made asecond attack, and succeeded in gaining possession of the place. This seems to have been generally credited at the departure of the Mexican from Vera Cruz. How long Mejia will be able to defend Tampico, will, of course, depend on the number of the partisans in the sur rounding country, and the promptness with which they come to the standard of the Constitution of 1834, which he hag raised, and proposes to fight under. It will also depend on the promptness and number of the forces Santa Anna may assemble against him. The next advices will, probably settle this matter. The news reached the city of Mexico in eight or nine days, and was thence transmitted to Vera Cruz, where orders were given to fit out a flotilla of gun-boats ; but it was uncertain whether they would really leave for Tampico, and when. It appears that Congress had authorized the Govern ment to contract a loan for .500,000 do:Jars, on such terms as would give them the cash. Private advices state that this amount could not be promptly obtained, and Govern ment assessed the amount among the • foreign merchaots and others residing in the capital, principally the'former. Some 20,000 to 30,000 dollars had been raised at Vera Cruz by voluntary subscription, foreigners having sub scribed the principal part of it. The Government had re duced the credits on duties (formerly three and six months) to 40 and 80 days ; had suspended the floating bonds on the Custom-houses 'at Vera Cruz, Tampico, and Mate moras, and martial law had been proclaimed at Tampico, on the 18th ult., by the then Military Governor. It •is also stated that Matamoros had decided for the Constitu- tion of 1834. There is nothing in the papers which con firms this report, though it may appear probable from the fact that several movements had occurred along the coast of Soto La Marina, and other places, against the Govern ment. We think that, in such a state of things, it is fair to infer that Centralism will not be established at the North without a further struggle. JAMAICA. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) We have accounts from Jamaica to the 16th of Decem ber. The Comus sailed from Jamaica on the 10th of Dec., on a cruise. The Pickle on the Bth, for Nassau, the Wasp on the 2d, for Vera Cruz, and the Meteor on the 30th of November, for St. Thomas's. The Dec had sailed for St. Thomas's, from which she was to return to Jamaica. The Skipjad schooner arrived at Jamaica on the 13th of December, and the Gannet on the 2d, from Honduras. One hundred thousand pounds had been granted by the House of Assembly at Jamaica, towards the furtherance of emigration, " an instance," observes the Jamaica Herald, " of such good faith, patriotism, and generosity on the part of the popular branch of our Colonial Legislature as cannot fail to excite the warmest thanks of the island generally. We really were not prepared for so liberal a grant ; we are sure that if any thing could convince the Home Govern ment of the genuine patriotism and sound policy of our As sembly, it would be a grant of money, out of the impo verished island purse, similar to this ; but the misfortune is, that the parent country is not to be convinced, persuaded, or mollified by the deepest sacrifice or concessions. How this money is to be immediately disposed of we have not yet learned, nor have been infOrmed of the details in any de finitive shape ; but, as the House of Assembly form part of the Commissioners' for carrying the plan into effect., we are totally easy on this head. We have also learned that the Immigration and Police Bills are to be entirely distinct and separate, which gives us, on mature deliberation, con siderable pleasure, as we are persuaded that the immi grants will do much better in the capacity of simple culti vators of the soil than as half soldiers, half police. Besides, as we said the other dey, a number of efficient immigrants, as well as Creoles, may be easily found to make up the num l 4.l necessary for a good filling of the ranks of the po. 1.•••11 • lice, with ou t t renc hi ng on th e ma i n beuring of theimmi gration plan." The following is an extract of a letter recently addressed to the Marquis of Sligo, from one of the special magis trates of Jamaica, Arthur Welsh, Esq., dated Warwick, Carpenter's Mountain district, Manchester : " The negro apprentices of this district are orderly and generally well disposed ; labour goes on regularly, with comparatively - little necessity for coercion. Crime is ex tremely limited, ti,e worst feature thereof being the occa sional plundering of prevision -grounds, The apprentices are everywhere humanely treated by their masters or ma nagers. Ample land is given for the cultivation of provi sions ; they have their hops and poultry, and many keep their horses. Their appearance on Sundays is superior to that of European peasantry in general. Beggary and want are strangers to the land. Complaints of apprentices against their masters or employers are rare ; where they do occur, it generally happens that the apprentice, on investigation, has been the aggressor. I have every reason to think that the apprentices labour as well as when they arc slaves. S o ,-ne planters complain they cannot keep the same quan tity of . land under cultivation ; but this must be understood with refereixe to the time formerly allotted to labour, com pared with that now given. Wherever the negrocs work for hire, they scent to work harder than atitheir ordinary labour ; I see no disincibation to work for hire. Some planters complain. latterly tiot the negroes neglect their own grounds, in order to hire themselves out. As they have time enough for both purposes, I attribute such mea sure to the dry season. The future must of course be pro blematical ; but the present system, where the law is judi ciously administered, I consider equall)• advantageous to both master and apprentice ; nor do I see reasonable cause to anticipate a decrease of the staples of tie island. In fine, I believe the peasantry of this island to h,q better off and more happy, than any other in the worlds and am certain, on th e i r t rans iti on to a b so l u t e f ree d om , they will encounter many difficulties they have hitherto never had an idea of." HORRIBLE CASE OF INFANTICIDE. CHELTENHAM, MONDAY EVENING, JAN. 2.s.—This day a Coroner's Inquest was held at the Fleece Inn, in this town, before John Cooke, Esq., Coroner, on the body of a remarkably fine illegitimate male child, which was murdered on the Tuesday evening previous in the most inhuman manner by its own mother. The name of the murderess is ,Ant; Sherrington, a servant girl, twenty five years of age, ::*id tie infant was exactly three weeks old on the day it izas murdered. The father of the child, a journeyman butchen named Thomas Smith, is in custody for wilfully conceaL'iAlg the murder after he knew it to have been committed. Sarah Biggs, wife of John Biggs, carpenter, residing in Milsom-street, Cheltenham, about tweln: weeks since, took the young woman (Ann Sherrington) into her house as a lodger, at which time she was pregnant. She took her at the request of Mrs. Foxell, a midwife. The roman called herself Ann, but would not tell her other name. Three weeks ago last Tuesday the prisoner was confined of a male child, and witness attended upon her for one week after wards. A person whom the prisoner called Thomas Smith, a butcher, frequently called to see her, and she (prisoner) said upon several occasions that he was the father of the child. On Tuesday last, the 19th inst., the prisoner left witness's house about six o'clock in the evening, taking the child with her, which she said she was going to take to am aunt of the father's to be nursed. She returned about eight o'clock the some evening without the child, but with a small bundle in her hand. She said she bad left the child with Smith's aunt, and that it was very comfortable ; and after putting the bundle she had brought back with her into her box, which she locked, she again went out, saying she was going to her sister's, and would return the next morning and p . py for her lodging. She did call the following morning but did not pay for her lodging till Friday, when she was about to take her things away : witness, however, told her husband that prisoner had put a bundle in her box and locked it, which box bad never been locked in her house be fore, and that she was fearful some harm bad come to the fore, insisted upon the box being child ; her husband, ther','-: ose, which the prisoner resisted, opened before it left the ho but the prisoner's sister, whe was with her, said the box should be opened. Witness's hxband then forced open the box with a screw-driver, and the first thing witness saw was the bed gown and two flannels, it: which the baby was wrapped when the prisoner took it away from her house. Witness's husband then said that if the child was not brought forward he would see into it till it was found. The prisoner then said she would produce the child in half an hour and went away, but witness never saw ei ther woman or child till to-day, when she saw the child dead at the Casualty Hospital and the woman in custody at the station-house. She identified both. She said the woman did not neglect or ill-treat the child while residing with her, but appeared very fond of it. John Hobbs, constable, said he took Ann Sherrington into custody, when she said it was all through Smith that I sLe committed the murder ; for if he had not told her that he would not give any money towards the support of the chile, tior do anything for it, if she did not do something with i t, . .the should not have done it. She never explained " a nt by this something. When he took Smith said he did not know Ann Sherrington or i t wn h ht e oa t child, csuhset o but md'Y ,e , v ,'ven be was handcuffed he said he knew her, and knew she had .71urdered the child, for she had told him so the same evening' that she committed the murder. When he took him into ,',be female prisoner's presence, she said, " Thomas, this is all `trough you ;" to which he re plied, " No, it is not." No 2:Arther conversation passed. This testimony was corroborNed by Wm. Cab, another constable. The Jury returned a verdict of " Vkrilful Murder against Ann Sherrington, and we find Thowas Smith Guilty of being accessory after the fact, and wilfUlly concealing his knowledge of the murder." The Coroner said he cold& only take the verdict as against the woman—the other must be put in the shape of the opinion of the Jury, which was accordingly done. The man will be brozight before the Magistrates to-mor row (Tuesday) on this chtZrge• THE MARKETS -('T HIS DAY). f 36 Trusses.) HAY 111ARKEIS.—(At per Load 0 CUMBERLAND.

REPRESENTATION OF GLASGOW.--Our predic tion seems to approach fulfilment. Lord William Bcntinck is obviously and decidedly the choice of the constituency. Last night, a meeting of the various district Committees was held in John-street Relief Church. Not fewer than five hundred electors, we think, were present—and they were all but unanimous in favour of his Lordship. One name of some local notoriety was made the subject of an amendment—in pity we withhold it—only five hands were held up in its favour ! If anything were required to show the estimation in which Lord William Bcntinck is held among us, the fact that five hundred electors from the twelve Parliamentary districts thus simultanz..ously united in a re solution to support him, is the best testimony we could offer. —Scoti Times of Saturday. About four o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke out at a beer-shop, 2, Bermondsey New-road, in the occu pation of Mr. Overton, and spread thence to Mr. Sharp's, glass-cutter, No. 1, and on the other side to the private re sidence of Mrs. Perrie. The premises of Mr. Overton are totally destroyed, and he is, unfortunately, uninsured. The houses of Mr. Sharp and Mrs. Perrie-are much damaged. The cause of the fire is not at present known. ADVANCE IN TIIE PRICE OF IRON.---A meeting of the Welsh iron-masters took place at Rumney, on Tues day, the 12th instant, at which it Ives unanimously agreed to advance the price of bar iron 2/. per ton, making the total advance 4/. per ton since the Ist of September last. Amongst other instances of the briskness of the iron trade, we have heard that an eminent master, in this county, has tin order for 2,000 tons of iron, for Africa,—Cambrian. I.
