The character of the wilful Ilarriet Trelawney is drawn in a most masterly manner ; but it would be needless to pick out particular actors in this most extraor dinary novel. do novelist of the present day has so much mastery over the passions of the reader as the writer of the work before us.

The Lords did not sit last evening, and the only question of importance that came before the Com mons was the Masters and Servants Bill. The order of the day was to go into Committee on the Bill, and Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, who is always at his post, opposed it with his usual spirit. We are happy • to state that he was successful, Sir JAMES GRAHAM opposed the amendment, and announced his inten tion of voting for the Bill going into Committee. The House; however, would not go with the Right Hon. Gentleman. On a division there were for the Bill 54, and against it 97, making a majority against the Bill of 43. It is a singular fact that Sir JAMES GRAHAM seldom carries any Bill which he supports. The House adjourned at a Quarter past Seven. Another meeting of the Anti-Corn-law League took place at Covent-garden Theatre last night. Lord KINN/MID, who was in the chair, and who expe rienced a most flattering reception from the audience, • - commenced the proceedings by an intelligent and . forcible speech, wherein he pointed out the humbug - of the reduction-of-rent system, observing :—" If they looked at the Morning Post and other papers, they would see paragraphs chronicling the great liberality of this landlord and that ; of the wonderful example he had set of indulgence to his tenants in having at his audit remitted them ten to twenty per cent. on the amount of their rents. 'Why , this only meant that the landlord cou ld not get it." This i; a seasonable exposure of the utter humbug of that system o f " generosity," as it is called, to wards their tenants , for which gr ea t T ory landholders are so often bel au d e d pas i ns, butthei ar p a rty journals. Seldom does a week statement appears in some paper or other, to the effect that my Lord This or his Grace the Duke of That, has generously, and of his own accord, remitted at least twenty per cent. on the rents due to him, infi nitely to the delectation of the recipients of such boon, who are all, of course—the statement invariably . . adds—lost in astonishment and admiration of their ;•- donor's munificence. And yet now we learn, on the unimpeachable authority of Lord K ENNAIRD, that the le • whole affair is a dexterously-contrived hoax ! Gene rosity has nothing at all to do with the matter. The cue is one of sheer necessity. The landlord, finding - that notwithstanding his most strenuous exertions, he • , cannot get the whole amount of his rent, and, pain , fimpressed imPreed with the di s h e art en i ng f a ct that there is no skinning a flint or drawing blood from a turnip, resolves at length t o ma k e a v i rtue of necess i ty, an d ;g• credit - to himself for remitting a portion of that 4;-44-wbich there was not the remotest possibility of obtaining in full. Such, it • ?•:••=e •. appear s is in i ~.. n~ J, \ ~. many cases the secret of a Tory landlord's liberality 1 towards his tenants ! And yet these are the men who profess to be agonised at the idea of the priva tions and sufferings of the factory women and chil dren, and are constantly declaring against the grind ing tyranny of the manufacturers ! Out upon such bare-faced hypocrisy ! Nothing is so easy as this cheap munificence which exhausts itself in mere words, and carefully steers clear of making any substan tial pecuniary sacrifice. The Tory landlords are liberal to their tenants, because they cannot help themselves. They give only what they know they can never get, and act upon the same discreet prin ciple on which the valet, in the farce of Ways and Means, acted, who magnanimously quitted his mas ter's house when he found that preparations were in progress for kicking him down stairs. In reference to the condition of the poorer classes of the agri cultural population, Lord KINNAIED remarked— " The Commissioners who were sent lately to inquire into the state of the agricultural labouring classes, bad furnished reports of the ignorance, desti tution, and immorality of these poor people in Dorset shire,Hants, and some other counties, that would harrow up one's soul. He had visited the property of Mr. BANKES, and anything more miserable than the condition which his tenantry presented, one could not conceive. In their detached cottages, one could see disease brought on by want of food." After a matter-of-fact statement like this, which Lord EINNAIRD, it will be observed, does not give on mere hear-say, but on his own personal knowledge, what becomes of Mr. BANKES'S ravishing description last year, in the House of Commons, of the flourishing and contented condition of his tenants in the Elysium of Dorsetshire ? In that enviable spot of the earth, he told us, all were happy—all thriving. There, poverty, and the numerous diseases arising from it, were unknown. The land, like that of Canaan, flowed with milk and honey ; rents— to quote GEORGE ROBINS'S delightful phraseology—" were paid un solicited, with the punctuality of clock-work ;" and the tenants had the invaluable privilege of " picking up dry sticks in Mr. BANKES'S own park." Oh, if this privilege could but be extended to St. Stephen's, instead of being confined to the woods of Corfe Castle, how many " dry sticks" might not be picked up among the back seats of the Treasury Bench ! We take for granted that we shall have no more rapturous accounts from Mr. BANKES, of the happiness of his Dorsetshire tenants. Lord KINNAIRD'S matter-of fact statement will of course indispose him from in dulging in any such agreeable " poetical licenses" for the future. We have lately perused in the columns of a Morn ing Contemporary an article on " the Currency as now constituted," which so distinctly adopts, whilst it enunciates, certain fallacies connected with the elements of this all-important question, that we can not do better than deal with them at once. The ge neral subject will, in a few days, form the engrossing topic of Parliament's deliberations. It may be ex pedient, therefore, to clear the ground ever which the arguments on either side will be pushed, of all encum bering errors of principle ; and of delusive plausibi lities, which have nothing more to recommend them than the authority of some great names, by whose ill considered sanction they were originally ushered into public notice. Against the array of great names and clever theories the public has learned to set the prac tical results of a severe experience. All their respect for the sagacity and acumen of a RICARDO does not blind them to the stupendous blunders of his antici pated calculation as to the maximum ratio of decline in prices, consequent on the establishment of the gold standard of value by Pszu's Bill. All their reverence for the attainments, genius, and integrity of a Ganx vimai, will not remove his memory beyond the im peachment of extreme rashness in the dogged perti nacity with which he insisted en the nostrum of a gold standard of value as a panacea for all the evils, exaggerated as well as real, of the depreciated value of our paper money at the close of the war. The late Lord KING scarcely imposed on one man in Britain, beyond the immediate circle of his own political clique, by the stand he made for his rents in gold, at a period when the Dover and Harwich mails were con veying every golden guinea which could be evoked from private hoards to these ports, there to be smuggled out of this country to the Continent, where its market value was so much enhanced beyond its Mint value and denomination with us. COBBETT himself did not give that erotchetty and unamiable peer credit for any constitutional jealousy on behalf of the legal or golden standard of value ; but chuckled at the success of his g‘ noble friend's" very sordid purposes in applying the screw so mercilessly to his tenantry. As for Mr. HusarssoN, his character for political honesty has been efficiently disposed of by the author of " The Minister Mistaken." It is quite evident that when Mr. Humssox wrote his pamphlet (destined to run through so many editions) on the Report of the Bul lion Committee, he absolutely falsified, in adverting to them, the returns and tables which had been pre pared by the Bank of England, to show at what pe riods, and under what corresponding conditions of in creased or diminished taxation, &c., its issues had been expanded or contracted. But the comparison between his assurances to the House of Commons in 1826, as to the limited amount of even the utmost extent to which the newly modelled tariff of import duties, agreed to between Prussia and three or four of the German States (a confederacy which was the proto type of, and finally replaced by, the Zollverein), would affect British manufactured goods brought into Prussia; and his own subsequent admission that, in stead of this utmost limit being from 15 to 20 per cent. it reached, in some cases, between 70 and 80 per cent.—this comparison is fatal either to his minis terial judgment and ability, or to his political integrity. Either he wilfully deceived the House of Commons on the subject, or he was the credulous dupe of the Baron Mar:names protestations. In either case we find an additional reason for deploring the fatuity which lis tened to his counsels, and passed the Act of 1819, known as " PeEa's Bill." Now the experience of five-and-twenty years has demonstrated, first, that the extent assumed, even by the late Mr. lIORNER himself, for the actual depreciation of Bank of Eng land paper, just before the Bullion Committee last re ported, was fallacious, and, practically speaking, by no means approximated to the rate which theory had ascribed to it ; second, that the foreign exchanges were by no means (in the practical operations of capital on the payment and adjustment of commercial ba lances) so adverse as they were reported to be in the official notations of them. The fact of this discre pancy, and an ingenious attempt to explain its causes, are well illustrated in an article in the "Edinburgh Review" for 1811, on Currency and Prices, which has been attributed to Mr. HORNER. And yet the continuance of these adverse exchanges was one of the main grounds relied upon by a school of economists who undertook to measure the ratio of depreciation by the variation of the exchanges. In 1819 we possessed an enormous and rapidly im proving foreign commerce ; money was in immense abundance ; all the departments of domestic trade were in full activity ; the wages of labour were ade quate to the subsistence of our labourers. Of the carrying trade for other countries, which the Ameri cans had once so largely engrossed, we had succeeded to an enormous portion. The facility of obtaining advances on capital of all kinds, real or personal, was so great that every branch of legitimate industry and enterprise was quickened, invigorated, expanded. We were at peace with all the world. The national debt, in the four years since the close of the war, had been already largely reduced. Reductions, also, of oppressive customs duties, and other fiscal ameliora tions had been successively adopted. Taxes were beginning to be removed. The public revenue was increasing. The income of the " Excise " showed a p ro digiously increased capacity of consumption among the poorer and humbler classes of society. What was wanting to the permanency and consolidation of such a state of thi ngs, but to persevere in the slow though certain career of improvements and guarantees on which we had so happily thus far advanced ? Alas ! " A 1/. Bank note and ls. in silver were clearly not equal, in the money or the foreign market, to a golden guinea in value." What of it? Did a 1/. Bank note and is., in silver buyless than 21 shillings' worth of goods, here ? Was there anv difficulty in obtaining for them manufactures which would have sold readily for a guinea's worth of gold abroad:But, the currency being " de p reciated" so lon g as given amount of Bank of England paper and silver would not command an equivalent sum in gold, "it was ne cessary, above all things, to restore the ancient gold standard of value of the country," so as to equalloe , • • the one description of money with the other, by making the paper convertible into gold on demand from its issuers. But, in the first place, it was an historical folly to suppose that the " gold standard 01 value" WAS our " ancient standard." The experi ment of making Bank of England paper payable in gold upon demand bad lasted only one hundred years, when it was put an end to, after some failures and many intermediate approaches to violent and abrupt termination, by the "BANK RESTRICTION ACT" of 1797. The old money of this country was either symbolic (intrinsically valueless, but current for a given value, by its issue from and receipt into the KINO's exchequer, where alone it was convertible into silver by tale or by weight), or coined gold and silver, to which a certain value was given by Royal proclamation at its issue. The fancy of affixing a certain, irrevocable value, to the ounce of gold, of standard fineness,—leaving free to find their fluctua ting value with all other commodities and mer chandise, all other metals ; and all representatives of capital, not having coined money, such as bills of ex change, Exchequer bills, and promissory notes, cir culating, from hand to hand ;—this fancy would have been too wild for the gravity and sound sense of those elder statesmen who laid broad and deep the first foundations of British trade, opulence, and power. But in 1819 the " gold standard of value" was set up as it were, by acclamation. We had now gold cheap by Act of Parliament, though any or every other metal, chattel, merchan dise, money, property of any kind, should happen to be coincidently dear. In all Europe there was pro bably not one-fiftieth part of the amount of our actual currency circulation—silver and paper money, bills, &c., of the kinds we have just referred to, circu lating in gold coin. In the bullion store of the Bank of England there was not then—(if there be even now, it is as much as there is, and that point has never been reached till within these five or six weeks) —so much of gold money as one-half of the Bank of England paper at the same time in circulation. Any fluctuation of trade —any shock of our political relations, any un controllable caprice of public opinion, at home or abroad, might, at any moment, alter the relations in which the demands of trade, and invested and fluc tuating capital, stood to each other. In the same pro portion, the value of gold might alter and become dearer in the " market,"—not so at the "Mint." At the Mint, and under the statute, you must pay and receive your gold cheap. The holders of more, in Bank of England notes, than all the gold and silver bullion in the Bank cellars would amount to, might carry to the great hall in Thread needle-street their paper, and insist on being paid in gold, at the standard price of 31. 17s. 10id. per ounce. In Lombard-street, or on the Royal Exchange, next door, gold might be fetching 51. per ounce, at the same instant. The Bank must manage to get, constantly, gold enough to meet all such de mands, at a ruinous loss of 1/. 2s. lid. per ounce on every :sum of 31. 17s. 10id. demanded in exchange for its own notes, or it must be bankrupt ! Such is our boasted security against the danger of " paper money depreciation." What is the Bank to do ? The moment gold begins to rise above the Mint price, the Bank contracts its paper issues, that it may better meet the demand for gold. Thus it pro ceeds to derange all the operations of commerce, paralyse industry, cease its own usual discounts and advances to merchants of the highest station and probity, and produce a panic throughout the kingdom, and involve thousands in help less insolvency. What panic what ruin under the old Bank of England paper system, ever rivalled the panics of 1825, and the more recent ones, occasioned by the demand for gold ? The local distress resulting from the occa sional failure of some worthless provincial bank, was a drop of water to an ocean in the comparison. Be sides, the facilities and benefits which domestic trade and industry derived from the institution and esta blishment of country banks generally, far outweighed any such partial and occasional mischiefs. Why did not the Legislature stop at making all paper issues convertible into gold at the market value—not at a pm-concerted Mint price, which can have no more necessary relation to what the fluctua tions we speak of may render, from time to time, its absolute intrinsic value, than if this value were taken in 1844 from that applied by DARIUS to his lost coinage of Persian daricks. By fixing the price of gold, more especially, at the lowest rate deducible from the averages of a long series of years, during which our trade and commerce, our wealth and resources, their development and their application were all in mere infancy compared to their present gigantic growth, you have enhanced and enlarged the powers of that possible external pressure, which a rise in bullion will always—and must one day, fatally —bring to bear upon the Bank of England. " The most serious of the imputations against the currency as now constituted," says our Contemporary, "is liability to over-issue, by which is of course meant, issue in such abundance as to depreciate the currency, or, what is the same thing, to raise general prices." Now the most serious of the imputations in question is not, necessarily, the liability to over-issue. So far from it, the peril is at once greater and more frequent of under issue. The false position of the Bank of England, its perpetual insecurity, from liabilities to pay in gold, to an extent which it is PHYSICALLY IM POSSIBLE for the Bank to meet, should 20,000,0001., for example, of : its own notes be ever presented for conversion in the terms of PEEL'S " folly" of 1829 and the natural proneness of the Bank to contract its issues, therefore, and ALWAYS at the wrong time — that is to say, when accredited paper of any kind is most needed, and in the largest quantity, to allay commercial panic (the square of whose expansion may justly be said to be in the ratio of its duration) —these are the gravest charges to be urged against our present currency. As to the effect of abundant paper issues in " raising prices," we have so recently shown the advantage to the whole community of prices that will represent the taxation sanctioned by our industrial labour in, or pending, the production of its commodities ; and the impossibility of foreign competitors deriving any advantage over our manu facturers from such prices, seeing that as they would be paid in paper they will obtain gold for it on such terms only, as shall equate their returns (through the higher price of bullion) to those derived by our manu facturers, that we do not feel warranted in pressing the point further at present on our readers. Besides, this is the fifth and the last of the propositions which we have pledged ourselves to demonstrate, seriatim, in a future article. We have accounts from Madrid to the 24th ult., and are glad to find that the editors of some Liberal, or rather Opposition journals, begin to show some feelings of compunction for their long silence, and the enslaved state of their country. Two suppressed journals, the Tiempo and the Eco del Comercio, had re -appeared, and the resurrection of a third was ex pected in a few days. The Tiempo denounces, with national spirit, the influence of France over Spain. The Three per Cents. were done at 36t for cash, and 37i at sixty days; and the Five per Cents at 21i for cash, and 22i at sixty days. The discussion in the French Chamber of Depu ties, on the election of M. C. LAFFITTE, continued dur ing the entire sitting on Monday, and did not close till past six o'clock. The debate was extremely noisy and disorderly, and the opposition made to the return arose more from personal pique against M. LAFFITTE than fromi any conviction that he had been guilty of corrupt conduct. Though the Government supported the motion for confirming the election, it was lost by a majority of 16; there being for the motion 167, and against it, 183. The electors, from all accoounts, are as obthtinate as the Chamber, and are determined to return no other member. The Conservative journals denounce the conduct of the Opposition, and describe it as an unwarrantable attack on the rights of electors, " Let the Left triumph," says the Journal des Debats, and thank the Deputies of the majority, who sup ported them. Thus, M. CHARLES LAFFITTE is de prived of his right of representing an arrondisse ment, by which he has been three times constitu tionally elected. The electors of Louviers are again stripped of the right which they had to be repre sented by the man who possessed their esteem and confidence. M. CHARLES LAFFITTE is a Conservative —that is his true crime—aggravated by the name that he bears. If M. CHARLES LAFFITTE had made a profe!sion of faith against the right of search, or the fortifications of Paris, then , indeed, all scruples would have been a t en d, and all the heroin con- THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 2, 1844. sciences of the Left would have been appeased. And new, what will be the result of the electors of Louviers, strong in their incontestible right, should they a fourth and a fifth time return M. CHARLES LAFFITTE to the Chamber ? When will the affair terminate ? " We think," says the Globe, " that the Chamber has abused its power by refusing to admit the validity of an election made in conformity with all the rules of law. This must be evident to the whole world. The electors of Louviers cannot suffer to be broken in their hands a right placed in them by the Charter, to be maintained by their firm ness and patriotism. They are buund to defend it to the last." The Constitutionnel and the National re joice at the result, though they do not regard M. LIFFITTE more guilty than most of the Members re turned. "We hope," says the latter, " that what passed yesterday will be a happy augury for the struggle about to commence between the defenders of the interests of the State, and that troop of coalesced jobbers, who are ready to pounce upon the great public works. This party of corrupt jobbers has been beaten in this contest, and, we trust, will be beaten again when it comes forward and attempts to establish a feodality over our railroads." The papers contain Ano other domestic news of in terest. In some of them, however, we find the fol lowing intelligence relative to the Papal States and the policy of the Austrian Government, contained in a letter from Leghorn, of the 22d ult.:— "Although for some time there have been no rumours of revolutionary attempts, the governments have remained upon their guard, and have taken every measure required for sup pressing insurrection. Our accounts from Romagna confirm the report that the Austrian garrisons of Ferrara and Coma celcio have been constantly increased. The Imperial troops may be said to occupy the whole of the Legation of Ferrara, ready, in case of need, to enter the provinces of Bologna and Ravenna in 24 hours. There is a rumour, but we know not what credit it is entitled to, that the son of General Nugent, Governor of Trieste, has been arrested. Within these few days a great movement has been observed at the head quarters of the Austrian army of Italy, established at Ve rona. The Italian Field-Marshal Mazzuchelli, has been re placed in the command of the fortress of Mantua by another officer." According to a letter from Vienna, of the 21st, in the Frankfort papers, the most perfect tranquillity prevails in the States of Venetian Lombardy, and not the slightest apprehension of an outbreak prevails.

The Solicitor-General replied to the speech of Mr. Moore, on behalf of the Rev. Mr. Tierney; after which, Mr. Henn, Q.C., commenced, and was left speaking. MORTALITY IN TIIE METROPOLIS.—There has been a slight increase in the number of deaths during the week ending April 27, as compared with the previous week, the numbers being respectively 880, and 846—average 883. The increase has taken place chiefly in cases of consumption and diseases of the brain. In the former, the number during the pre ceding week was 142, and during the last, 162, average 155. In deaths caused by the latter there has been an increase of 30, being 19 above the ave rage, namely, 152. In all other cases, except violent deaths and small-pox, there is a decrease. The number of deaths from violence was 33, of which 7 were caused by falls, 9 by injuries from carriages, 3 suicides, 5 from burns and scalds, and 4 from drown ing. Of 31 persons who died of small-pox, 24 had not been vaccinated. According to the returns made from the Greenwich Observatory, the thermometer on Friday stood at 74.6 degrees, showing a higher temperature than that in London by 5 degrees. It was lowest on the night of Wednesday, being 38.3 degrees. THE QUEEN DOWAGER.—Her Majesty, we are happy to state, is progressing very favourably. The medical attendants of her Majesty (Sir David Davies and Mr. Keate) attended at Marlborough House early this morning. The bulletin issued stated that her Majesty had passed a goo d n i g h t, an d was advancing satisfactorily to recovery. Lady Peel and a long list of the nobility called to pay their respects to-day. THIS DAY'S NEWS INDIA AND CHINA. Calcutta papers of the 14th, an d B om b ay papers and correspondence to the 13th cX March, inclusive, have been received by the Bentinck, which reached Suez on the 12th of April; they were brought to Marseilles from Alexandria direct by the French stea:ner. The following extract gives a summary of the news from India and China : " ALEXANDRIA, APRIL 19. "The latest dates brought by the Bentinck, which reached Suez on the 12th inst., are from Calcutta to the 14th, and Bombay to the 13th of March. The steamer Carnatic was dispatched from Bombay on the evening of the 13th to Ceylon, to meet the Bentinck, on her pass age from Calcutt a t o S uez . "The mails which had left London on the 6th of February had arrived at Bombay, but the letters were not to be delivered until the following day. The most important military news relates to the refusal of one Madras and two Bengal regiments to proceed to Sinde on finding that they were not to be allowed full batta. of import ance f rom L a h ore an d A is supp ose d th a t th ese t wo S tates wi ff l " l gTh sh ili o ne i i-rs t e l n y ais c ' o n t b n tu eitliitiloopen hostilities. " The Sesostris arrived at Bombay on the 10th of March from China, which country she left on the 15th of February, having on board, amongst other pas sengers, Major-General Sir James Schoedde. The town of Victoria was quite healthy, and it was hopeel that the ensuing summer would not be so fatal as the last. Several daring attempts at robbery had been made at Hong-Kong. Sir H. Pottinger had evinced an earnest desire to act up to the treaty with China. Her Majesty's 65th Regiment was under orders for immediate embarcation for England. Her Majesty's ship Dido, Capt. Keppel, left for Calcutta on the 2d February, having on board Lord Saltoun, late Com mander of the Forces, who arrived at Suez in the 13entinck, and will proceed to England by the Great Liverpool. Little was doing in teas on account of the high prices demanded. " The Governor-General arrived at Calcutta on the 28th February, and on the 29th published a most liberal grant of batta to all the troops that were en gaged in Gwalior and in Sinde. " India in general is tranquil. " The price of indigo had advanced a little at Cal cutta, and the business in British cotton piece goods had been large. • A letter from Calcutta, dated March 15, contains this passage :—" Sinde is finally and for ever annexed to the British possessions." Malta letters of the 23d of April, received by this express, bring no news. (From the Calcutta Englidirnan, Feb. 29.) The Governor-General arrived at Government-house yes terday afternoon. The Deputy-Governor, Council, and a vast concourse of persons in and out of the service, were for some time previously in attendance to receive his Lordship, whose arrival was delayed beyond the time at which he was expected. The usual ceremonies were performed upon the occasion, the fort guns fired, and the troops drawn up on each side of the entrance. The Governor-General cordially greeted his colleagues, and appeared to have derived considerable benefit from his late journey. The following is a more detailed account, for which we are indebted to a correspondent " Four companies of her Majesty's 10th Regiment were drawn up in line, with their right ' resting on the eastern entrance to the Government-house. The reserve guards, with their left' resting on the same entrance, were drawn up in line also, and facing the companies of her Majesty's 10th Regiment; this made a street through which the Go vernor-General drove, and during which time he was received with arms presented.' The Light Company of her Majesty's 10th Regiment, in' single ranks,' were drawn up on the steps of the grand entrance, and immediately facing it the Govern ment-house Guard; on his Lordship alighting from his car riage, he was again received with 'arms presented,' while the Deputy-Governor, &c., advanced to meet him ; at the same moment the signal was conveyed to the saluting battery, and a salute of nineteen guns was fired. This closed the tamasha.' The whole of the civil and military attached to the Presidency were ordered out on the occasion." The Extra which was published Yeiderday, Annowicing A gratuity of six months' batta to the troops engaged in the battles of Meanee, Hyderabad, Maharajpore, and Punniar, breathes the right spirit, and shows the real " friend of the army." The allusion to the claims of those who were not en gaged, but have endured the privation incident to their service in Sinde, is alike judicious and generous. We have nothing to say, save what is laudatory, of this proceeding, if it be understood as a boon granted by the State, without reference to, and possible disappointment in respect. of, prizes captured. THE ARHY.—A twelvemonth ago Sir Charles Napier, on the field of battle, and after a signal victory, recorded his conviction of the great disproportion of European officers to the native troops, and warned Government of the risk which it entailed. It was naturally expected, that advice dictated by such experience as the battle of Meanee afforded, in which the loss of half a dozen more officers might have led to the most disastrous retults, would have produced some salutary effect on the minds of those who are entrusted with the wel fare of the empire. As yet, however, the only result has been to increase that dangerous disproportion. A body of troops to the number, it is believed, of 10,000, has been raised for the Gwalior State, and they are to be officered from our own army ; and during the last week the army itself has been increased at this Presidency and that of Bombay, to the extent of 10,000 men, without any corresponding increase of European officers. So great, indeed, is the want of officers felt in one arm (that of the Artillery), that the Governor-General has been constrained to remove some officers from important political appointments, which they occupied with credit to themselves and advantage to the public, and to remand them to regimental duty ; and other officers in situations of great political trust have received in timation that whenever the exigencies of the service may require it, they must be prepared immediately to quit their present posts and join their corps. It is usual we know to cast the blame of this deficiency of officers on the parsimony of the Court of Directors ; but that body has long ceased to have any voice in the practical management of the empire. It appears to exercise no other function but that of distribut ing the loaves and fishes anion its friends and connexions. It is also the receptacle of all the grievances of the discon tented which it had little power to redress, and can relieve only by sympathv. Whenever that sympathy happens to be misplaced, which is often the case, it serves to weaken rather than strengthen the cause of good government in India. We must not, therefore, look to the Court of Directors for the cause of that unwillingness, which is so justly complained of, to render the army efficient by a suitable increase of officers. If her Majesty's Ministers, in whom the actual government of India now centres, thought such an augmentation neces sary for its safety, they would doubtless find as little difficulty in persuading the Court to issue the necessary orders as the Queen does in prevailing on the Dean and Chapter to obey her conge &dire in the election of a Bishop. On her Ma jesty's Ministers, therefore, must rest the censure of this re luctance. Tice popularity of Lord Ellenborough appears to be on the increase in Calcutta, where a public meeting was called by the Sheriff for the purpose of addressing his Lordship on his return from the campaigns in Gwalior. The newspaper readers of Bombay cannot fail to have observed the silence of the violent assailants of the policy of his Lordship. They cannot blame his late successes, and they now maintain a prudent reserve. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Bombay Price Current, March 9.) THE BOMBAY MARKETS.—In consequence of the interven tion of the Hindoo Festival of the Holee, the past week has been an entire blank, and we have no transactions of any con sequence to report. The market for cotton is very inactive at present, and prices have still further receded. The remain ing stock of old cotton is mere rubbish, unfit for exportation to Europe, and prices are nominally as under : PRICES CURRENT OF RAW COTTON. Per Surat Candy of 7 cwt. Surat, Broach, and Jumbooseer 7B to 82 Rs. Oomrawutty 72 to 78 Gogo, Dhollera, and Bhownuggur B2 to 84 Komptah Mangarole and Porepunder 72 to 77 Bharsee Rajapore Our quotation of opium is rather higher, say 1,215 rupee to 1,220 rupees per chest for Malwa, at which rate there is more firmness than could have been expected considering the adverse nature of the accounts from China. In piece goods and metals transactions are few, and have been done at pre vious rates. Freights are rather firmer, and 31. 7s. 6d. to 31. 10s. per ton to London, Liverpool, and the Clyde, and 17 rs. per candy for cotton to China, are now the current rates. - THE MONEY MARKET.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The House sat to hear writs of error. The Peers present were Lord Cottenham, Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell, and Lord Kenyon. TAYLOR v. CLI3lf3Alt. The arguments on this writ of error, from the Court of Exchequer, occupied their Lordships the whole morning. The facts of the case are of no interest except to the parties concerned. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY). ABSENCE OF COUNSEL. On the LORD CHANCELLOR taking his seat this morning, very few counsel were in court, and, with the excep tion of Mr. Wakefield, not one Queen's Counsel was in attendance. , The list of motions was called over, but none could be proceeded with for some time, in consequence of the absence of Counsel. His Lordship said that in fu ture he would strike out the cases in the paper in which Counsel were not in attendance. {'artier were put to great expense coming there from time to time, in consequence of the absence of COunsel. In his Lordship's opinion Counsel ought not to take briefs in Courts if they could not attend to them in,roper time. In future he would most certainly adopt strictly the rule of strikirg motions out of the paper where Learned Counsel were instructed and did not appear. He thought the adoption of such a course only right and just to the suitors. After this several Queen's Counsel came into Court, and the cases in the paper were proceeded with. IN THE CASE OF SUISSE. This case came before the Court upon the motion to dis charge an order for: an injunction, and another order made by the Master of the Rolls upon Mr. Suisse giving security to repay a sum of 1,500/. It will be in the recollection of our readers, that the representatives of the late Marquis of Hertford filed a bill against Mr. Suisse, for the purpose of obtaining an injunction against him, restraining him from transferring a sum of 3,0001., standing in his name in the Three per Cent. Consols, on the ground that that stock had been purchased with the money of the late Marquis of Hertford, to whom Suisse was valet. The injunction was granted ; but upon application to his Lordship, he reversed his order so far as to allow Suisse to take out 1,5001., but continued the in junction with respect to the other 1,5001., and the object of the present application was to have that 1,5001. paid to Suisse, upon his giving security to return it, if on the final hearing of the cause, the Court should be against him. Mr. SCHOMBERG, on the part of the representatives of the late Marquis of Hertford, had no objection to the order asked, provided Mr. Suisse also gave security for costa. After some considerable argument, The LORD CHANCELLOR ordered Mr. Suisse to give security for the return of the 1,5001., if it became necessary, and also for the costs and interest. VICTOR V. DEW:REX:X. The arguments in this motion, which was an appeal from the Master of the Rolls on a point of practice, occupied the Court the remainder of the morning. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY)* Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) His HoNouß on taking his seat intimated that it was not his intention to sit after Wednesday . next, the last d a y o f Easter term, until the first day of trinity term. SCOTT V. PASCALL. Mr. STUART applied in this suit that it might be removed from the office of Master Wingfield, who was exceedingly in disposed, to that of Master Lynch. The ground on which the Learned Counsel made the application was, that the case was an exceedingly heavy one, and that dispatch was neces sary for the ends of justice. The Learned Counsel, in order to show the heavy nature of the case, stated thltt the statement of facts contained no less than 10,000 folios, and but a small part of the interrogatories, upwards 1,300. The COURT made the order for the removal of the cause.= His Honour then proceeded with the hearing of motions. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY). (Sittings in Banco.) CUSTOMS FRAUDS, IN LIVERPOOL.-THE QUEEN V. WILLIAMS AND BIZOCKLEIDJEST. The defendants in this case were Liverpool merchants, who had been convicted at the last Liverpool Assizes of a conspi racy to defraud the revenue of certain Customs duties, by taking _certain quantities of coffee out of bond without pay ing the duty. The coffee, it appeared, was the property of Williams, who endeavoured ineffectually to induce the Cus tom-house officer to connive at the transaction. The officer, however, had done his duty, and given such information as led to the conviction of the parties. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL this morning prayed judgment upon the defendants, who were on the floor of the Court. Mr. Sergeant MtairnY addressed the Court in mitigation on behalf of the defendant Brocklehurst. The defendant Williams addressed the Court in person, and iiimied that he had intended to defraud the revenue, as he had taken out the coffee with the intention of paying the duty afterwards. llis account of the transaction was, that he had mentioned the circumstance to the officer, who said, " It is all right, you can take out the coffee, as you pay your duties quarterly." Mr. Justice PArrnsoir, in passing sentence on the de fendants, observed, with regard to the defence now set up by Williams, the Court could not take that into consideration. No attempt had been made to show that such was the case at the trial, or if it had been, the jury had not been satisfied, or they would not have found the defendants guilty. This was a very serious case. In various cases, in Liverpool and elsewhere, temptations :had been held out by persons in the situation of the defendants to officers, to induce them to be tray the trust reposed in them by the Crown and the public. Now it was necessary to make a severe example. The Court could see no difference in the relative guilt of the parties. They had been found guilty of conspiring to defraud the re venue, and the different parts taken by each in carrying out that conspiracy made no difference in their guilt. It appeared that Williams had been already i m _ prisoned for seven months, while Brocklehurst had only been imprisoned fdr one month, having been out on bail since the month of October. The Court took this fact into its consideration in awarding the punishment to each. The sentence of the Court was that Thomas Williams should be imprisoned in her Majesty's gaol at Kirkdale, in Lancashire, for six calendar months, and that Brocklehurst should be imprisoned in the same gaol for twelve calendar months, and that in the mean time they should be committed to the cus tody of the keepers of the Queen's Prison. The prisoners were then removed in custody. EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY, The Court took motions to-day. MANSELL V. lIEDGECOCK. Mr. HINDMAILSH, in this case, had obtained a rule nisi, calling, upon the plaintiff to show cause why the defendant should be retained in the custody of the Sheriff of Surrey. Mr. jraviris now showed cause. Re said that ou the 19th of January last, the defendant had been in attendance in this Court as a witness on a trial, and on his return home he was followed by a Mr. Bassett and the sheriff's officers, in whose hands there was a writ against him. They traced him out of the direct line home, first to the 'Windmill public-house, and next to the Surrey Arms; and on his coming out of the latter, at about half-past ten at night; they took him info custody. Mr. Jervis now contended that the sheriff's officer had acted properly, and that there was nothing illegal in his taking the defendant into custody under the circumstances alleged, and that, therefore, the conditional rule must be discharged. Mr.. lIINDMAESH contended that the defendant, having gone to the Surrey Arms for the purpose of obtaining re freshment, was not liable to be taken into custody, particu larly as he had been in attendance on the Court from nine o'clock in the morning until seven o'clock in the evening; and it was therefore absolutely necessary he should have some refreshment. The COURT was of opinion that the conditional rule must be discharged. —Rule nisi discharged accordingly, BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY). Mr. Justice Coleridge sat in this Cow t this morning, but the business brought on was of a purely technical character, possessing no interest for the public. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) STEAD v. WILLIAMS. The Court was occupied this day with an argument on a motion for a new trial. The question was whether the plain tiff was the real inventor of a certain patent wood pavement, or whether the supposed invention wan generally known to the public. IVIARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.) John Lechland, a plasterer, was placed before Mr. LONG, charged with having stolen a silver watch, the prope►ty of Samuel Lees. The complainant, who resides at the Bayswater Coffee house, said that on the night of Saturday he placed his_watch at the head of his . bed, and on the foll o wi ng morning found that some thief had stolen it. He had not locked his bed room door, and therefore the thief found a ready access. James Mills, pawnbroker, 103, Edgeware-road, said that the prisoner pawned the watch produced in Court upon the Monday evening for 155., and another person (Townshend) brought the duplicate on Tuesday for the purpose of re deeming the article. Witness called in a policeman, and gave that person into custody. William H. Townshend said he had bought the duplicate from the prisoner for the sum of 3s. He repeatedly assured him that the watch was his own. Police-constable 89 took the prisoner into custody. He then stated that he had bought the watch from a stranger on the preceding Saturday for is. 6d.—He was fully committed for trial. CLERKEN WELL.-(T HIS DAY.) Jeremiah Sullivan was charged with assaulting police constable Barker, 124 E. The constable deposed that, on the previous night, about eleven o'clock, the prisoner and a crowd of others were standing in Great Coram-street. He was drunk. Witness desired them to go away. The prisoner cried " I will serve you out." Witness passed on, and took no notice of his threat. Witness returned on his beat in about half an hour, and saw the prisoner snd several disorderly characters in Little Coram street. Witness persuaded all the others to go to their homes except the prisoner, who again exclaimed "I will serve you out." He remained about the same spot until half-past twelve, when, on seeing witness again, he said "I will rip your b—y guts open. Witness then took him into cus tody, and, on his way to the station-house, he assaulted him. MAGISTRATE - W h y —W y did he act so? Policeman—l took one of his companions into custody about a fortnight ago, and he has a grudge against me ever since. A decent-looking man, named Pearson, deposed that the prisoner assaulted him in a very savage manner on Saturday night, and that the complainant had assisted in removing him. He did not, however, press the charge against him. In answer to questions from the Magistrate, the policeman stated that the prisoner had not worked any for nine months, and was an idle, dissolute character. The prisoner was directed to find bail, which not being able to procure he was locked up. UNION lIALL.-(THIS DAY.) Information was given by the police at this office, that an accident of a serious description took place this morning, at a bone manufactory in Lock's-fields, by which the life of one of the workmen is placed in imminent danger. It appeared that at about ten o'clock this morning, a loud report was heard on the above premises, and a policeman entering at the moment, discovered that the boiler of a steam engine, used for grinding bones, had burst with a loud ex plosion. One of the workmen who happened to be near the spot at the time was severely injuredby a quantity of boiling water falling over his person, and scalding him in such a manner that he was obliged to be conveyed in a state of great suffering to the hospital, where he remains in a very precarious condition. At present the precise cause of the accident has not been ascertained. CHESTER RACES. WEDNESDAY.

Wilkinson and Sons, the brokers, are all that free traders can desire : " The business transactions of the past month, in colonial and foreign products, have been on a very limited scael, all parties wishing to learn what alterations were intended by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the import duties. On Monday last the Chancellor announced his scheme, which, as regards foreign products, is to take ot the whole duty on sheeps' wool; to reduce the duty on currants to 15s. per cwt. ; foreign coffee to 6d. pier lb. ; and foreign free labour sugar to 345. per cwt. This is very good so far as it goes, but it would have given much greater satisfaction to the public had he proposed to reduce the duty on Colonial sugar to 20s. per cwt., and Foreign to 30s. per cwt. ; and we trust, when the annual Sugar Bill shall be brought into the House, he will be induced to adopt that scale, as it will enable the working people to enjoy a larger share, without injury td the revenue, and without which, they and their poor children will derive no benefit ; indeed, we venture to predict that an increase of more than a million sterling would be the result, as compared with the average of the ast three years. "Last year the public paid 12,500,0001. for 202,260 tons of sugar, but in some former years the amount has reached 14,000,0001., and as the average price during the ten years preceding the emancipation of the negroes from slavery did not exceed 295. sd. per cwt. in bond, and that price being full 50 per cent. higher, both at that time and the present, than in all the ports of Europe, it may be presumed that 30s. per cwt. in bond will remunerate the colonial planter abundantly. The case will stand thus, with a duty of 20s. per cwt. for co lonial and 30s. per cwt. for foreign sugar-14,000,0001. will purchase at 50s. per cwt.-- 280,000 tons 80,000 tons of foreign, at a duty of 30s. per cwt , will produce a revenue of £2,400,000 200,000 tons colonial at a duty of 20s. per cwt 4,000,000 £6,400,000 or 1,300,0001. more than the whole revenue on sugar last year, besides an additional 40 per cent. to the public at about the same cost." Exceptions will of course be taken, as the Morning Post shows, though, we confess, in a mild spirit; for which the protection party is not often remarkable, to the bearing of these observations, as against the West India interest. but we will answer for it that those who know the present state of Jamaica and other of our possessions, will acknowledge that they are not ver y flourishing under protection, and that as to an ind e p en d en t b o d y o f p l an t ers , th ere no onger exists such ; former extravagance, and, in some cases no doubt, misfortune too, having handed over the estates to mortgagees in nine cases out of ten. It might, indeed, be contended'that mortgagees have as much right to be pro tected as the original owners, but then the rejoinder suggests itself—have not, these mortgagees, in their advances, left a fair margin for probable alterations of duties, which every ra tional man must have seen years ago will gradually be effected ? • The reply that we should give, seeing mortgagees are not pro verbial for short-sightedness, is certainly in the affirmative. The Funds have been rather agitated this morning, though it would " puzzle a conjuror" to divine the precise cause. Sales continue to be made, and, as is stated by some, for account of the Scotch Banks; Consols opened at 99# to 99k, and are now 99 to * for Money, and 99* to i t for Time ; Exchequer Bills have been worth 745. to 76e. premium, being supported. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. hive realised 102# to * ; the Reduced 1011 to 1; and the Three per Cents. 98# to j. Bank Stock has been at 1961 to 197*, and India Stock at 285, being about previous rates for the former, but a very marked decline on the latter. The Foreign Speculative Stocks are affected by the re trogade movement in our own funds. Spanish have been down to 240 for tho Actives, itn4 to 35i tuid 35 En the - Three per Cents. Portuguese Converted Bonds bave at 45i to 45; Mexican are 35-1 to 35; Colombian , 11 ,5 1410 and Brazilian, 80%, being about previous rites. vu' Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 611 to 61i; and F`, sian, 117 to 118. - rai l ! The Railway Shares are rather brisk, and support gene full quotations.
