This steamer, which is only 107 feet long, was built by Messrs. Ditchburn and Mare, and carries two engines of 16-horse power, constructed by Messrs. Penn and Son, of Greenwith, left Woolwich on Thursday, on a trial trip, with coals for five days' consumpt9lon, and ran down to Margate in four hours and fourteen minutes; afterwards she crossed over from Margate to Ostend, against a strong head wind, in five hours and twelve minutes.

[The f° llo whig iS'as culler Report of the proceedings on this subject, in the House of Lords on Monday night, than we had space for in our yesterday's morning Edition :--,] Lord COLCHEST E R--I take the liberty of asking a question of the Nobly. Duke below me, relating to a subject of great iMportance, which has excited much surprise in the public mind within the last two days. The recal' of the Governor-General of India was an nounced to your Lordships on Friday, and it was at the same time stated that, it had not met with the approba tion of her Majesty's Ministers. I will take the liberty of now asking, whether the communication , made by the Board of Directors to .ber Majesty's Government was accompanied by any reasons for recalling the Governor- General ? I will further take the liberty of asking the Noble Duke, if he , has no objection, to state to the House what were those,reaions, If there were any, and; further, 'whaher Abe Cburt of Directors had sufficient authority, fat: the step they bad taken ? The' Duke of WELLINGTON—I regret that my Noble Friend ibe:Preeitient of the Board of Control should be absent from his plaCe, on account of indispo sition. IflTelatitW to t* Noble Lord's questions, I be lieve one has bcoii put 4th the same object in another place, and I timi• lad- iiiat I am enabled to answer it. There is no do lt vi ever, my Lord, that the Court of Directors have ted . ens for the measure which they bade 'taped, which' ns have not been• concurred in by her Majesty's Government. Those reasons have not been considered valid, and, therefore, her Majesty's Go vernment have not coneurrW in the measure adoptel— nay more, my Lords, I will add, in answer to the last part of the Noble . Lord's question, that her Ma jesty's Government did remonstrate against the mea sure proposed to be adopted by the Court of Directors, and the resolution of recalling Lord Ellenborough from _ _ the office of Governor-Gene;al of India. I must add that there can be no doubt whatever—although a doubt was expressed by a very great authority, my Noble and Learned Friend opposite—of the legal right of the Court of Directors to recal the Governor-General;which right is conferred upon that body by statute. I imagine it has existed at all times since 1784, but it was con ferred particularly by the law passed in the year 1813, which has been replaced by the law passed under the auspices of my Noble and Learned Friend in 1833, the 3d and 4th William IV. That law giies the Court the undoubted right to recal the Governor-General. But, my Lords, I conceive that that right is one which that body is bound to exercise with discretion—(Hear, hear) —as all bodies and all individuals invested with extra ordinary powers by the provisions of law are bound to exercise such powers with discretion. Now, my Lords, I venture to submit to your Lordships, as the opinion of an individual who has had some experience in these matters, that this exercise of power, to say the least of it, is not a discreet exercise of power. My Lords, the Court of Directors has that power—it has the power of nominating a successor to the noble person who is thus recalled ; but it has no other power whatever, as your Lordships will find on examining the law, excepting under the direction and control of the Board of Com missioners, of which my Noble Friend, who is now absent, happens to be at the head, and for the acts of which Board her Majesty's Government are respon sible. Under these circumstances, my Lords, I venture to say, and it is, I think, the least that can be said of it—that it is not a discreet act of authority to recal from power, and from such a situation as that is, an officer who has been in his high office but little more than two years, and who has given satisfaction to those by whom he was instructed and employed, whose acts have been concurred in and• sanctioned in every instance—to reed that officer suddenly, making no provision for the per formance of the great duties which devolve upon the Go vernor-General in that country—to recal that officer, who was confided in by the Government, who were re sponsible for the condition of public affairs, without the concurrence of that Govern ment , i s , my Lords, an • act, to say the least of it, which cannot be called a dis creet exercise of the power with which that body is in vested. My Lords, I do not mean to refer to anything on this occasion which is not notorious and is not in the Act of Parliament ; but I beg your Lordships to ob serve, that the body which has ,carried into execution this act, which I must call an act of indiscretion, at least —I say, at least, I call it an act of indisCretion—this body, as your Lordships, by looking at the Act of Parlia ment, will see, has no knowledge whatever of the in structions under which this officer is acting.—(Hear, hear.) They have stated reasons for withdrawing him, founded, of course, on his public conduct—but as a body, those who have proposed it, except those who are acting on the Secret Committee, have no knowledge whatever of the instructions under which he has been acting, or , of the events which have taken place in that country, excepting what has been in the general knowledge of this and the other House of Parliament, and the whole public of this country and the world. And - yet, my Lords, those gentlemen, pretending their re sponsibility, having had no share whatever in giving this officer instructions, having had no knowledge, as the Act of Parliament will s how they are bound to have none, of the instructions that have been sent him, pro nounce their judgment upon his conduct and recal him, thus depriving the Government of that country of the best instrumenr—the best instrument, I say it again— that they could find to carry on the duties of that great office, and making no provision whatever, nor proposing any, except that th ere s h ou ld b e ano th e r Governor- General, for the pe r f ormance o f t h ose duties, and for satisfying the responsibility of her Majesty's Govern ment. As I have said so much on this subject, in order to illustrate - tlii; indiscretion of this act—the indis cretion, I say—l will just go a littl e further. My Lords, although I believe th at t hi s i s the fi rst t i m e in the his tory of the government of India that this measure of recal by the Court of Directors had been on the point of being carried into execution, and will be carried into ex ecution, it has more than once been in contemplation, but always been withdrawn, upon the advice and remon same gentlem en , strance of the Mi n i ster of the day ; an d , m y Lo r ds, it is the fact that i t h ad been in contemp l ation by the yal in the course of the last twelve months, an d th e y were prevail e d upon to withdraw their resolution and not in respect to thi s very Governor-Gene to proceed t o d etermine his recal. My Lor d s, t hi s was previous t o t h e l ate great operation, of wh i c h we h ave all read with so muc h satisfaction, in Gwalioran opera tion which I am sure your Lordship w i l l h ave perceived, from a perusal of the reports which have been made, must r a e ll e t mustio n and ha v esuperintendence seenthat the f preparations thehave been f oun d e d upon the most j ust an d discrimi nate measures a d opted. by the G overn ment for th e equipment, th e support, and the ma i n t enance .. o f t h e Government. made, not N onlyi e armies which w ere to b e put into t h e fi e ld un de r th e di for the supp ort and maintenance of t h e troops i n t h e field, but f or t h e i r military commun i cat i ons , w h atever might be the course ' of the operations, f or th e i r a d vance and retreat, and, - in short, all that could tend to their o success, were amply provided for. Well then, my Lords, what would have occurred if the Court had thought proper to recal that Noble Lord six or eight months ago, when they had the measure' in contemplation ? What would have become of she great operation carried on, as I said, under the superior management and direction of my Noble Friend the Governor-General ? Why, my Lords,_ it must have been left to be carried on by the gentlemen who happened to be senior member of the council, a very respectable gentleman, I doubt not, but without the peculiar experience and talents in that very branch of the: government as respects the equipment, - management, and superior direction of armies. It. would have been left to be carried on in that w ay ; and I leave your Lordships to judge of what the situation of the Government in India would have been if that expedition had failed, and such an army as we have seen described in one of the blue books on your table had remained in existence, threat ened, as we were at the same moment, by a si milar body on the north-west frontiers, with the pro vince of Sinde still unsettled, and that army destroyed, as it has been, under the superior direction of my Noble Friend, within reach of the communications be tween our army employed on the north-west frontier and the Bengal provinces. Why, my Lords, the dan gers would have been imminent, and this would have been the consequence of the , recal of my Noble Friend six or eight months ago, which was in contemplation, and was only prevented by representations being made to those who have now committed that gross indiscre tion of recalling the Noble Lord. It was prevented only by the representations made to those gentlemen of the dangers which would ensue to the public interest from the measures which they were about to adopt, the dan gers resulting from the impossibility that they would be able to provide for events which most probably would occur if they recalled their officer without the consent of ker Majesty's Government, who would thus be deprived of the instrument in their hands best fitted for carrying their policy into execution, while the Directors in this country must be unable to direct the means in existence for securing the safety of their troops, for guarding their frontier, for upholding the honour of her Majesty's arms, and the security of our vast dominion in that part of the world. I say again, as I have said before, and I say the least of it when I pronounce it to be the most indiscreet exercise of power that I have heard carried into execution by any body who possessed the power since I have had a knowledge of public affairs, which I am sorry to say has now been for about fifty wears. Lord BROUGHAM—As my Noble Friend has refer red to me, I beg to set him right in his supposition that I questioned the legality of the act of the C our t o f Direc tors. My Lords, I did not question it ; I was quite aware that there was, by the strict letter of the law, an independent power g i ve n, in very ample terms, to the Directors to recal any officers at their will and pleasure —the words - are, " at their own pleasure." But I ven tured to express, to say the least of it, my . doubts whether any law so absurd as that had ever been suffered to exist on the statute-book of any rational people, be cause, as my Noble Friend has justly stated, while three , only of the twenty-four Directors are by law allowed to know the instructions sent out, under the sanction of a solemn oath not to communicate them to any of the others ; yet the whole twenty-four, by that extraor dinary law, are entitled to act, as they could only be justified in acting, if they had a perfect knowledge of all those communications—namely, to recal the Governor- General for actin...on instructions which they knew no thing about, and 'for refusing to act on which he would be liable to be impeached, he being bound to obey those instructions. I therefore took the liberty of calling your Lordships' attention to this most anomalous law, and I was reminded by my Noble Friend that it was renewed when I held the great seal. I then stated that it was re new.al without consideration at the time, at all events without discussion, while my Noble Friend, not now in his place, talked of it as if it had been the subject of a very grave and solemn deliberation. I had no re collection of that ; I was quite confident my Noble Friend was imagining the fact ; and accordingly I have since looked into the very accurate report of those discussions which at that day, in the Mirror of Parliament, were given word for word in both Houses. Now, my Lords, it appears there was not a single word said of it in either House. I have looked into the papers of the corre spondence between the Direetors and the Board of Con trol, and there is not one single word' said of it in these on either side ; .and I have looked• into the debates of 1784, when Mr. Pitt first brought in the Bill containing this ill-omened clause, for it was in that originally, and I find not one single-word said on either side in either House of this extraordinary pewee. And for this rea son, that before that Act. the Court had the absolute power in its own hands, and all the debate arose on the limitations of that power, not on, granting them any new authority. I verily believe it was left in one India Bill after. another from a perfect persuasion that it would never be acted upon, but would remain a dead letter, unless some extraordinary emergency, some crisis of the fate of our Indian empire, should call upon the Directors to exercise this most anomalous and extraor dinary jurisdiction. I quite agree with my. Noble Friend that this exercise was intended to be, not at the sport or caprice of individuals, or without great reason and most weighty and urgent necessity, the very statement of which would be its own vindication. Whether the Di rectors' have acted on such grounds or not, I leave your Lordships to gather from the most weighty cen sure, •or at all events disapproval, which my Noble Friend has, in the exercise of his duty, deemed it ne cessary publicly to give, with an authority which will be universal in this country, in Europe, and in India, wherever a name is known, and an authority is ap pealed to which is . as illustrious and as much enshrined in the greatest renown of successful councils and suc cessful arms as any that can be found in either hemi sphere of the globe. There is an appeal, no doubt, but I do not expect that any one will be so venturous as to call on either House of Parliament to pronounce their approval, I would almost say their patient bearing, of the proceeding which has now been discussed. I believe if any proposition were made in either House of Par liament for a vote approving of this extraordinary pro ceeding, that it would be met by as triumphant a debate, and as decisive a majority against it, as any ill-fated proposition ever met in either House of Parliament.— (Hear, hear.) It will be for my Noble Friend opposite and her Majesty's Government, in the exercise of their sound discretion as administerin the Government, and as Peers of Parliament, or Members ce of the other House, to consider whether enough has now been done in order to convey to India the decision that the policy—the brilliant and successful policy—of my Noble Friend the Governor-General has met with the entire sanction and approbation of the Parliament of this country. If they do not think it necessary to take any further step in the matter, I shall not. But if any attempt be made to obtain the sanction by Parliament of the course pursued by the Court of Directors, there is no hazard, I think, in predicting what the fate of such an experiment will be. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE—If we were now discussing the extent of power conferred by the charter of the East India Company, I should venture to ex press my dissent from the opinion pronounced by my Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Brougham). Nor can I think my Noble Friend as accurate to-night in his recollection of facts as I have generally known him to be. It may be true there was no discus sion in Parliament as to the - power of recal by the Directors of the East India Company ; but in the negotiations which took place in '33 between the Go vernment and the East India Company, this power is most distinctly and directly adverted to, and the propo sition made by the Government of, the day to limit this power within narrower limits was after much discussion and deliberation withdrawn. But that point is not what we have now to consider ; and, unfurnished as we must all necessarily be with the information requisite for the discussion of such a topic as that adverted to, I should certainly not have risen, if it were not for what I must take leave to call the somewhat extraordinary speech of the Noble Duke. Without any notice whatever—with out our being in a position in any way to judge of the justness of his strictures, the Noble and Illustrious Duke—relying on that undoubtedly high authority which everything that falls from him carries with it— has pronounced a most grave censure on the eonduct of the East India Company. My Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Brougham) next rises, and challenges any Member of -Parliament to call in question the pro priety of the censure pronounced by the Noble Duke, or to ask a contrary opinion from either House of Parliament. Why, my Lords, how are we to judge of the propriety of this censure ? What knowledge have we of the circumstances which induced the East India Company to take this unexpected and strange step, and what right have we to suppose—with all precedents leading to a contrary con clusion, and this power never having been exercised by the Company up to this time—that it was now exercised without just and extraordinary reasons? The Noble Duke stated, and my Noble and Learned Friend re peated the assertion, that the Directors must be neces sarily ignorant of the instructions under which the Go vernor-General acted, with the exception of the Secret Committee. But must we not suppose that this Com mittee, being elected, is constituted of men in whom the Directors have confidence, and must not the decision of the Committee influence in turn the opinions of the Directors ? The Noble Duke told us (what is well' known to the public) that this step was in former times in contemplation, but that the influence of the Govern ment prevented its being carried into effect. Why, my Lords, what a censure is this on the Government of the day, when we know that the great body ofthe Directors consists of persons who are in general most favourable to the views of the present Government, who cannot be supposed to have acted as they have done except on the gravest consideration, and who could not have refused to listen to the advice of Government ; nay—after what has passed to-night—who seemed to have passed a reso lution in defiance of this recommendation. And of this resolution, allow me to say, we know nothing, except what we have learned to-night, and we now hear it has been under consideration seven or eight months. The Noble Duke illustrated the injudicious exercise of the power of the Directors, by stating the difficulties that might have occurred if exercised sooner. Why, does not the fact that they took such a period for delibera tion show that they listened with calmness, forbear ance, and patience to whatever argument could be urged against the exercise of a power with which they were entrusted, for the well-being of a great empire ? The Noble Duke must permit me to say, that 1,, have read' the papers relating to Gwalior with little satisfaction. I think it a little unfair to have entered on the discussion of this part of the subject, when my Noble Friend (the Marquis of Normanby), who had given notice of a motion on the subject, had, for the present, withdrawn it ; but if our opinion be asked, I, for one, must say that, looking at.the papers generally, if the war is great in extent, great in loss of life, and great in the consequences which must result from it, I cannot look on it with satisfaction, because I have the misfortune to feel convinced that every good object which has been attained by the gallantry and ability of our troops, could have been attained without the blood shed 'that has arisen. lam not going to argue that point now ; but when an opinion has been expressed on one side, 1 thought it right to say that the House was not unanimous in it. All sides, I thought, concurred the other evening in the opinion diet the discussion should, for the present, be postponed until Lord 'Ell'enborough's arrival, unless Parliament should at once be called on to take some decided step in the matter. After what has passed, I feel no hesitation in asking the Noble Duke whether it is the intention of the Government to lay on the table any communications which - may have passed between the Board of Control and the East India Com pany on this subject ? The Duke of WELLINGTON—AIthough he was anxious'to afford their Lordships every information yet he thought at the present moment it was not desirable to do so. A question had been put to him by his Noble Friend (Lord Colchester), and in reply he said no more than what he considered to be his duty, and nothing which had fallen from the Noble Marquis opposite would induce him to alter his opinion as to the indiscretion of the con duct of the Court of Directors. The Marquis of NORMANBY was sorry the Noble Duke opposite said that he would not lay upon the table the papers referred to. He did not think such a course was in accordance with the usual straightforward con duct of the Noble Duke, because otherwise the Court of Directors would not have an opportunity of having a fair trial. The Duke of WELLINGTON (as we could under stand) said he thought he had a right to speak his sentiments, and he also should say that the conduct of Lord Ellenborough met with the entire approval of her Majesty's Government. Lord CAMPBELL thought it was essential that the Court of Directors should be allowed to exercise their undoubted and legal- right over the Governorship of India, without being unduly interfered with. After a few words from the Duke of BUCCLEUCH, the matter dropped. • DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—The passengers by the mail train this morning report that on passing the valuable mills of Mr. Wilkins; at Twerton, near 'Bath, the premises were in flames, and there appeared no probability of the progress of the fire being arrested before causing the destruction of property to an immense extent —Bristol Journal of Saturday.

Then me good news for little boys and girls, who have a right to me in for a bit of this wonderful surplus. With 900,000/, the tai on currants is to be reduced from 225. to 15s. per twt. The great falling off in the importation of currants was really one of the most pathetic symptoms of the recent dis tress. As far as the poor are concerned, the golden apples of the Hesperides are not a greater fiction than the roast-beef and plum-pudding of England. The duty on foreign coffee is to be reduced from Bd. to 6d.. a-pound. This great boon to the poor " will cost only 50,0001. Then follows a significant hint at the consequences; of taxation. The duty on the spurious substitute, chicory, ils to be raised. The next item is important, and will raise a qualm or two, unnecessarily we think, in the hearts of our agricultu ral friends. The duty on raw wool, producing 100,0001., is to .be abolished. This puts the finishing stroke to a long burden -on British manufactures, and adds fresh obsoleteness to snch historical curiosities as the act compelling burial in woollen. The whole of these reductions amount to about - 387,000/. Considering that the Minister was much in the situation Of a woman with a large, hungry, and ill-clad family, going to market with ten shillings in her pocket, he has not dime uniss. We now see the instructive force of the promised issue of half-farthings by our thrifty Premier. To these changes must be added a reduction of the differential duty on foreign sugar, in favour of States not tainted with slavery. The additional duty in their case is to be only 10s. The 'effect on the revenue, we suppose, cannot be easily calculated, as' it 'is not stated. And now for the- income-tax. It is to be considered next year. Perhaps the increasing surplus, and perhaps the general improvement in trade, may then allow us to define its somewhat indefinable duration. But to hope for its early removal, we must have the faith of the sports man, who always went out as soon as he saw a patch of blue sky large enough to make a pair of—what shall we say ? gaiters, we suppose it was. POST.—The Chancellor of the Exchequer laid before the House of Commons, last evening, his annual statement of the actual receipts and disbursements of the past, and the - anticipated revenue and expenditure of the current years. He commenced his financial exposition by avowing that his estimated income of the year just ended had been greatly exceeded by the actual income. Mr Goulbum next made the avowal that his calculations of the expenditure of the last year had far exceeded the actual disbursements. The charge for the debt on the consolidated fund had fallen short of his estimate by 50,000/. The expense for the army had not been so great by 500,0001. as he had anticipated ; and the navy had required less by 650,0001. than he had calcu lated. Taking together the increase of revenue received over his last year's estimate, and the decrease of expenditure below his last year's Computation, the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced that, instead of 700,000/ sur plus which he predicted twelve months ago, the actual surplus of receipts over disbursements, for the year ending the sth of April, was 4,160,000/. From this gross surplus on the past year, 2,749,000 L, the de ficiency of last year, being deducted, the net surplus available was 1,400,0001. So far for the year just ended. Having stated the results of the last, and his anticipations of the present year, Mr. Goulburn considered the reduCtions of duties which he would recommend. As the experiment of the Tariff had not been fairly tried, and as the surplus could not be regarded as a permanent one, he left the question of the property-tax for deliberation next year, when it must come under the deliberation of Parliament. The present surplus in hand he proposed to apply to the augmentation of the balances of the Exchequer, so as to render the Govern ment more independent of the Bank, and to conduct their business on a surer basis. This he thought better than a present remission of taxation. At the conclusion of his -statement, Mr. Goulburn,announced that it was his intention, when moving the. sugar duties, to propose, that from and after November next the sugar produced in foreign countries, which did not raise the produce by means of slave labour, should be admitted into this country at a differential duty of 10s. ; that is, at a duty of 345. per cent., our colonial sugar paying a duty of 245. Our treaty with 'the Brazils, by which they were placed on the same footing as the most favoured nations, expiring in November, is the reason why November was fixed on by Mr. Goulburn for this change. The Chancellor of the Exchequer concluded his statement by asp eccotnga whicht congratulating gfin a n ces parnesde-ntthedecountryear o f n ro t m he th al e t p er r e e d . ceding ones. . • b ner made last tis HERALD.—The Chancellor of the be • although, no doubt, the country that- statement must t night his financial statement, 'and highly gratifying to the difficulties to which the country agreeable communication is not enhanced by the pleasure of surprise. The losses an d jealous observers of our financial condition, was exposed during the later years of the WhigAdtrtinistra - - tion, made us all and most are, in consequence, as well apprised of the actual state of the revenue as the Chancellor of the Exchequer him self. As far, therefore, as the financial and commercial pros perity of the country is concerned, Mr. Goulburn could tell little last night which claimed attention by its novelty. The net revenue of last year amounted, he said, oupwarelsnf 52,800,000/.

The Chancellor - of the Exchequer next explained his' purpose and - his expectations for the present year—rating the public ex penditure of the country at 48,600,000 L, the probable income at about 51,800,000/, which leaves a balance of more than - three millions sterling in appearance, 2,400,000/ in fact. This is, we believe, a pretty fair outline of le: Goulburn's financial statement, and it is gratifying on both sides; gra tifying, first, in the proof it affords that the Government is happily in a condition to exercise a choice in dealing with 1 - the finances of the country—gratifying next, in the assurance that we have escaped from that most ruinous of all systems, whether to an individual or to nations, the " hand to mouth" system ; and that her Majesty's Ministers have fairly resolved to think a little of the future--a degree of providence of which their predecessors for many years have certainly set them "no example.

ADVERTISER.—The Budget . of Ihe fiaseeselhar gif eba Exchequer, so eagerly looked forward to !be some time past, was last night brought before the House. Though it will, on several accounts, excite dissatisfaction, there are featured in it which merit commendation. The principle which per vades it is good, but the application of that principle is net so judicious as it might have .been. The Budget dt,P4 homage to the free-trade principle, and, so far, therefore, it is satisfactory. But it is to be regretted that the Chancellor of the Exchequer should have contented himself with a few peddling reduCtions of duty on articles which, with the ex ception of coffee, are not in general use. What benefit, we should like to know, can the community derive from reduc ing the duty on flint-glass, or on vinegar, or on currants The better course would have been to apply the principle et reduction to some one or more of those articles which aees of general consumption. In referring to the reductiore which he proposes to make on the - ditty on marine assurances —a reduction of foar-fifths in some cases, and of more than one-half in all cases-the Chancellor of the Exchequer stated, that when Lord Althorp made a similar reduction, itt 1834, he found that in two years afterwards, owing to the great increase in the amount of business, the revenue derive{t from this source was as great' as befote. And such is his faith in the financial wisdom of the reduction which he him self propeses to make, thathefdllY expects that in two yeara the amount of revenue for marine insurances will be as great as His at the existing high rate of duty. But the most de cided and most important recognition of free-trade principles, is made in that part of the Right Hon. Gentleman's speech in which he entirely abolishes'the duty on wool, and conse quently opens our ports to the admission of that article from, all pates of the . world. Now, if the duty be thus immo - diately and totally: repealed on _wool, why not agree to the imniediate and total repeal of the duty on corn? The prin ciple *tech justifies the reduction in the'ferraer case requi res; the reduction in the latter. Ifi referring to this intended repeat of the duty,on wee], the Chancellor of the Exchequer th u g expressed duty. I have 'thought it better to remit eboth - the - duty on export and import of woe], and to leave the; trade open. - That duty produced last year, altogether, about; the sum of 10,0601., and we must 'take that amount as the loss which evill-be sustained on'that partied/a; article by the; arrangement which I shall recommend to :the House. '' But I cannot but.feel-ehat, although we shall on-the article itseil sustain a loss, .yet we shall give an additional stimulus to the industry of the community engaged in that branch of our manufattures 'likely to be 'benefited by this arrangement, which I believe will more theft compensate for the loss we shall sustain.'" This is exactly the ground which the advo-• cates of free e trade .have all along taken. The pasisege lea have quoted stone more like an extract from a speech of Mr. Cobden, in Covent-garden Theatre, than of a Tory Chancel lor of the Exchequer in the House of Commons. All that be wanted is, that the Right Hon. Gentleman abould be con sistent. Let him but follow out his own prineiplet, and the country asks no more. The Chancellor of the Exchequer cannot long stop where he is; he must continue in his on ward course until he has fairly landed on the ehores of Free• trade. THE THRONE OF SWEDEN. The Hamburgh papers of the 26th ultimo, contain the following communication, dated Munich, April 20 : ." Though it might have been pretty confidently expectedt that the Prince of Wasa would take some -steps, on occasiort of the change in Sweden by the death of the late King, for assert his claims, yet the manner in which he has done this excited here, at least, no little surprise. The news of this declaration (which, though not in words, yet in spirit, is equivalent to a protest against the accession of King Oscar, 'which the Prince has addressed to the Courts of London. Paris, Vienna, Berlin, and St. Petersburgh), arrived here az the same time as Count Stedingk, who has brought to our Court the official notification of the accession of the reigning King and Queen of. Sweden. Besides the unpleasant feel ings which are connected with any claim of a pretender to it throne, it may easily-be conceived that considering the inti mate ties of -relationship between our Court and that Sweden, this affair is looked on in a more serious light thala elsewhere, and perhaps than it really deserves, under ths present state of the political world. It is affirmed that this declaration of the Prince of Wasa is so drawn up that it, requires no reply from the Courts to which it is addressed. This declaration of his Royal -Highness, so far as it is tanta mount to a protest against the exclusion of the house of Wasa from the succession to the Swedish ihrOne,_ is one of "the most interesting documents of the kind of ourtime, an 4 C therefore deserves a public examination." ATTORNEYS.—One hundred"and thirty-six gentle. men have given notice of their intention to apply, on the last day of the present term, to be admitted to .practise as attor. neys in her Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench. There ace also twenty-five notices of application for ajeuewal of eel. i ficates to practise, and five to be 'admitted by Judges' ordeis, making a tofal of 166. WINDSOR TROTTING "Mvicn.—On Saturday last Mr. Thomas, the Secretary of the Royal Soeiety- for the Pro. vention of Cruelty to Animals, applied to R-Blunt, Esq., the Mayor of Windsor, for summonses against William Mostly and Henry Bond, for having wantonly and brutally iil treated their homes in the trotting-match, which took place on the 22d ult., when one of the horses died.: , DOVER AND BouLoGNE.—A deputation from the inhabitants of Dover, consisting of the Mayor of Dover, Mr. Latham, Mr. J. W. Ledger, and Mr. Birmingham, lately waited upon the General Steam Navigation . Coinpa,ny, tw request the Directors of that Company to run a steam-boat between Dover, and Boulogne. The Directors have compl:e4 With the request, and have appointed to run _theiifigician. which is to be placed on the station on Saturdav morning next. This decision on the part of the General Steam Na-ri gation Company has been received with delight by the In habitants of Dover, the Magician being admirably adapted for the serv)ce, and for. beauty and speed perhaps unequaled by any steam-packet of her class. • - THE WATERMAN STEAM-130AT (NO. 10.)--All fortunate accident occurred to this gallant little craft whim off :Hastings :on Saturday afternoon. • It appears that she arrived at Dover from Ostend early in the morning of Satin.* day, and left that port about noon on a • pleasure trip te liastings„ having on board a party_of the Directors of thill Company, Mr. Penn, the engineer, and several other gentlaw men. She arrived at Hastings about half-past two, and passing the town unfortunately too near in shore struck oat, dangerous reef off the Priory, known as the Castle.RoAtelb which she passed over, and injured her 'bottom. It beat found that the water was flowing fast into her, she wave pl. about and run On the sand off the Parade, where she fillekt the tide flowed, and at high water the hull was covered. quantity of empty casks were flung round her thstiag b evening, by means of whichshe was got further in, awl MI Sunday she was pumped out and had her leaks stopped. Skit has since floated off, and been removed oppdsite the Prier, stade for the purpose of undergoing repairs.

THE SHERIFFS' FUND.—Monciay the halPTearlip meeting of the supporters of this fund was hebt as ti. London Coffee-house, Ludgate -hill, Mr. Sheriff )loon in, the chair. Mr. John Cooper, secretary, read the report, which, 'After s detailing the many schemes planned for ensnaring vice youthful prisoners of both sexes discharged from gaoli, stated that the receipts for the years 1842 aid 1843, in-- eluding a balance from 1841, amounted to 6611. Ids. 10d. 1621. 19s. was subscribed by the present Sheriffs and their friends. Of this sum 1901. was distributed last year as cob. lows :-541. amongst 181 prisoners discharged from Newgates 241. 7s. 6d. amongst 69 discharged from Whitecross-streets and 121.95. 6d. amongst those discharged from the Comptes, The sum of 5001. was funded. The report, in conclusien, gtafed that the grand object of the fund was the establislunent ofam asylum for the reception of women discharged from prison, which would be ultimately erected. Upon the motion Mr. Under-Sheriff Anderton, seconded by Sir M. Montefiors, the report was adopted. After very strong appeals by Anderton, the Rev. Mr. Weeks, Alderman Johnson, and other members, on behalf of the charity, it was resolved t• have a public dinner to defray the expenses of building as asylum. Thanks were then voted to Alderman Johnson, the treasurer, Mr. Cooper, the secretary, and the Chairman: LYCEUM THEATRE.—On Monday an extremely lively piece, under the denomination of PoUtamania, was pr r*. duced at this theatre. Its chief humour consists in the'pl er sant satirical view taken of the prevailing fashions Red follies of the day. A young fortune-hunter, Adolphus Mertom (Mr. A. Wigan), p ursues hi s i namorata, Laura Doreingtote (Miss Woolgar) ' to a sequestered village, and int ro d uc i rg himself to her father, a matter-of-fact gentl e m an o f t h e O A school, as a medical practitioner, engages to cure her of loar spirits by the application of a newly-discovered specific called the " Polka." The old gentleman, though at first a flute startled at the slang phraseology of his visitor, at length 'coa sents to entrust her to his treatment, and when the dance xis begun its fascination is such that all the household,' includivg the old-fashioned gentleman himself, are constrained to join in it. In this part of the piece much amusement was affordcell by the comic actions of Mr. and Mrs. Keeley, who pertorme t the parts of a male and female domestic in their awkward at• tempts to imitate the graceful movements of MissDorriagtol and her lover. The piece was highly successful.
