witnesses of the triumph. By way of making sure of their prey, however, they leave the fairy prison ender the safeguard of certain ladies of the court, who thought lessly accept the dangerous office. Rash ladies, and short-sighted swains! Were they ignorant that no lady .of a certain or uncertain age has ever really passed that fabled limit of time beyond which the wiles and witcheries of love are said to be without effect, and his arrows to fall powerless? The resalt of the false step is not long in doubt; cajoled, subdued, ensnared, the lady gaolors are pri soners in their turn, and Fleurette and her friends are sum moned to take part in the wild mockery and mischievous Glee with which the successful conspirators dance round the cage, and pour in their pitiless arrows on its inmates. Wonder and wrath are the roiliest feelings with which His Mightiness and the court, who now arrive, view such pro ceedings. The ladies are freed at the voice of Authority, but not without many a wound in witness of the Archers' prowess. Love now gathers all his forces, and the battle royal, the decisive engagement of the campaign begins. The issue is soon evident. Fierce, frequent, and inevitable, pours the arrowy hail on the devoted courtiers. Love wins Youth and Beauty from the grasp of Authority, and ascends with them in glowing triumph, leaving his defeated fee such con solation as he may find in the fit society of the courtly forms, which, stiff and gorgeous with brocade and hoop, armed at all points with powder, patch, and fan, rise from all quarters of the dull nether-earth, where Authority is left to rule, as best he may—these—his proper subjects."

In the House of Lords lastnight, The County Courts Exteusion Bill was, on the motion of Lard BROUGH AM, read a second time. In the Commons, after abort but very animated discus sion on the subject of " the row "of the previous evening, the debate on the motion for the second reading of the Eccle siastical Titles Assnniption Bill was renewed. Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE opposed th e Bill, as he considered it the first step towards reviving penal laws. The danger pro per method to obviate the to Protestantism arose more from the teachings of Oxford than from Rome, and the English Church and danger would be to reform the Unive rsities. Mr. BAILLIE COCHRANE, having lauded the P apal and Austrian Governments, and denounced MAZMNI and Ge 'MEE!, declared that he should vote for the measure, but not from feelings of intolerance. Mr. FORTESCUE and Mr. GOOLD opposed, and Mr. Cun.n !supported, the Bill. Mr. W. J. Fox opposed the Bill. With the organization of an Established Church the State had a right to interfere, but it had no right to interfere with the organization of a non- Established Church. Mr. WALPOLE considered the Bill defective, but would nevertheless support it, and he trusted that it would be put in force as soon as it became law. - Mr. ROEBUCK said a great mistake bad been committed in treatingthe Papal rescript as a legal document. The posi tion e cho R om an Catholics was that of a dissenting body, and the pillwas a declaration of hostility without the means of attack. Sir Joe ROMILLY denied that this was a persecuting measure, and suggested to the Iri4ll Members that the pro bable object of the present movement was to give the Roman C.A4tholics of England, whose bishops were nominated from Rome, predominance over the Roman Catholics of Ireland, 'whose bishops were in general elected. On the motion of Ur. FAGAN the debate was adjourned to Monday. THE SUN, LON DON, Lord Join; RUSSELL expressed a wish that the division should take place on Monday night. The House rose at half-past twelve. Persons who have once entered upon an unjust an t , inequitable course will frequently proceed to extremi ties which they had not contemplated, and at which they would have shuddered at the commencement of their career. One crime or one error will lead to others of even greater magnitude, the perpetrators be coming bolder and more unscrupulous as they pro ceed, and less sensitive to the sufferings of their vic tims. Acts of spoliation once commenced will generally be continued, until the sufferer is unable to make his complaints heard, and debarred from the means of seeking redress against Lis more powerful persecutors and oppressors. _ . _ If we sought a modern illustration of this ancient practice it might be found in the course pursued by the East India Com pany towards the unfortunate TBIMBUKJBE RAJA, the de jure Raja of Sattara, we say the de jure Raja, for he is such, not only as the adopted son, and consequently the lawful heir and successor of the deeply-wronged PERTAUB SINGH, but also as the nearest blood relation and heir male not only of PEBTAUB SINGH, but also Of APPA SAHIB, who was placed upon the throne of Sattara, recognised by the Company as a Sovereign Prince, an independent potentate, with whom they entered into various im portant treaties after the unwarranted deposition of his elder brother on the most frivolous pretexts. Under any circumstances, whether PENTAUB SINGH were really guilty, as alleged by the Directors, or without stain or spot on his fair fame, as he invariably declared himself to be, and as his friends will ever main tain—if his trial were as formal and conclusive as it was really informal and unsatisfactory, the conduct towards TRIMBIJHJEB RAJA could not be justified, or 1 even defended. We have so often expressed our opinions of that solemn mockery of investigation against which we have, on the part of the English people, so frequently and unequivocally protested, that we shall not be misunderstood, if, for the purpose of argument, we suppose for a moment that the proceedings were properly, fairly, and regularly conducted, before an impartial tribunal assembled in open court, and in the presence of the accused RAJA ; that he had ac tually received the copies of the depositions in his own language, for which he had so earnestly applied, so that he was cognizant of the charges against him, and the evidence by which these charges were at tempted to be sustained ; and that he had been allowed the opportunity not denied to the humblest British subject in this happy land, of being heard in his own defence. If we then assume that all was correct and formal, so that the condemnation was fully war ranted, and could not now be impeached or even questioned, how could it affect the present claimant, TRISIBUBJEE RAJA ? By the treaty entered into with PERTAUB SHEAR) in 1818, we ceded the territory of Sattara to him, his heirs and successors, "in perpetual sovereignty." By one article of the treaty it was forbidden to the RAJA, his heirs or successors, to carry on direct correspondence with foreign powers ; but the punishment was limited to the party offending—it would sub ject " him" to the forfeiture of the advantages ho might gain by the said agrrement. lie might himself be deprived of his throne, but the penalty was personal, and would not apply to his inno cent heir. The Company acted on this view of the case, conscious of the reproach and censure it would incur if it profited by the ex parte proceedings of its own officers; it was distinctly stated that the British Government " had no intention of taking the country for its use, or of increasing its possessions by the measure." APPA SAHIB was raised to the throne, and a new treaty entered into with him, while the impar tial and disinterested judges declared that " they had only transferred the sovereignty to the RAJA'S younger brother." In what capacity then, or by what right, did APPA SAHIB ascend the throne ? Simply as next heir and successor to the former RAJA. But in so doing the Company overlooked a superior claim, a better title. Under one of the best recognized and most sacred customs of the Hindoo law, he was entitled, in the event of failure of heirs male of his own body, to adopt a son, who should thereby become, to all intents and purposes, his lawful heir, inheriting the rights of a legitimate child. This pri vilege he solemnly and deliberately exer cised in favour of TRIBIBUBJEE RAJA, who , was the son of his first cousin, BELLI SABIB, and with the exception of his only brother, his nearest heir male. TRIMBUBJEE RAJA should then have succeeded to the Raj of Sattara, if it became vacant, but he was most unwarrantably and unjustifiably passed over, and APPA. SAHIB elevated in his place. The right of adoption was thus, we believe, for the first time questioned, and the Hindoo law wantonly violated without the slightest reason being alleged. It was simply the law of the strong arm—might that made right. Well, APPAL SAHIB subsequently died, and his heir, therefore, became entitled to the throne of Sattara. That heir was TRIIIBUBJEB RAJA, the son of his first cousin, the descendant of his grandfather. What did the Company do then ? How were the assertions " that it had no intention of taking the country for its use," or "of increasing its possessions by the mea sure," carried out ? They seized and confis cated the territories, and not only the ter ritories, but the private fortune of the deceased Prince, to which his heir and successor became en titled. We cannot understand on what plea these acts can be justified, or why it is, that the British Parliament, has suffered itself to be hoodwinked and induced for the first time to deny justice to an humble suppliant. The case has been repeatedly brought before the Legislature, and before the proprietors of East India Stock, but has been got rid of by various ingenious devices. That has, however, been the claim to the throne. But now it appears that even the tribunals of the country are ch.;secl against the suppliant, and that his private rights will not be in quired into or adjudicated on. A petition was duly deposited in the office of the Privy Council, by the next friend of the infant RAJA, in December last, praying for the restitution of certain pro perty belonging to the deceased RAJA, and descending to the claimant, not only as adopted, but also as natural heir. This property bad been taken po9session of by the Company on the ground that A ril'A SAHIB had died without an heir, which was altogether contrary to the fact. The petition sought no territory or dignity, it merely claimed certain personal property. There was nothing political in it, and yet it was returned to the petitioner with an intimation that "it was not within the jurisdiction of their Lordships to entertain matters of a political character !" The unfortunate youth is thus not only deprived of his dominions and his rank, but also cf his fortune. He is kept poor, that he may be deterred from enforcing his unquestionable rights. Should any person suppose that we have overstated, or in any degree exaggerated, the facts of this painful —and we regret to be obliged to add, to the Anglo-In dian Government, exceedingly disgraceful—affair, we would refer to the admirable statement of Mr. J. SULLIVAN, a gentleman who, during a protracted and honourable service in Ilindostan, had acquired golden opinions from persons of all classes and creeds, na tives as well as white men, and who is therefore in every respect a satisfactory and unexceptionable wit ness. That able speech, which will be found in extenso in another part of this day's impression, and the incontrovertible proofs, that were brought forward by the talented speaker, must carry conviction to every disinterested and unprejudiced ' l ,, t ind• It shows that the Directors of the India Company have acted in a manner more to be looked for from the managers of the Ag 1 Bn galeo di s i nterested Loan and Life Assuranceu°-Coem pany, under the presidency of the accomplished " TIGG MONTAG U/1 ," of Pall-naall and Bengal, rather than from a body of E ng li s h gentlemen of high stand ingm the honourableß ri t British nationduty of hadgo delegated. verning 150,000,000 beings and position, th e important o t r o t a wot h aon of human who owe alle giance to, and a re the faithf ul subjects of, our most gracious; QUEEN. A more complete or crus hi ng case was, indeed, never br ou g ht before any tribunal th an that submitted by Mr. SULLIVAN to the General Court of Directors and Proprietors of the East India Company, at the East India House, on w ed _ nesday last. The Honourable Gentleman completely stripped the case of the fallacies and misconceptions that had been brought forward, and on which persons, in other re pacts honourable men, have been giving their votes, merely supposing that they were supporting their Directors against troublesome attacks, and not for a moment imagining that they were direct parties to the grossest injustice, that they were refusing even a hearing to one whose claims, if fairly attended to, were absolutely irresistible. It is easy to vote in a particular manner, but if those who were holding up their hands against the motions of the most expe rienced, straightforward, and intelligent proprietors, were fully informed, they might hesitate before they adopted a course which rendered them to all intents and purposes participators in the crimes that have been committed. It will be seen from what fell from Mr. SULLIVAN that by an arrangement entered into with Captain GRANT, the then Resident representing the British Government, a certain sum, viz., 31'2,000 rupees, equivalent to 31,2001. per annum, was set aside for the private expenses of PERTAUB Snort and his family. This was kept in a separate treasury, under a separate treasurer, and was entirely controlled by the RAJA himself. The instructions of Council, under which Captain GRANT in duced the RAJA. to accede to this restriction on his rights, stated that " the employment of this sum ought to be left to his Highness, with no other check than may be necessary to prevent his exceeding the amount allowed him." Can there be any question that this was private property, distinct as it possibly could be from the public revenues of. the Raj ? It might be a difficult question, under ordinary circumstances, to decide whether, where no such distinction had been made, the Sovereign for the time being would not be entitled to all the surplus revenues accumulated during his reign ; and the better opinion appears to be, that in a despotic mo urchy, such as those existing in the East, he • would be so; but here, where there was a regular bargain, and a certain sum set aside for private ex penses, there could be no doubt that the party could dispose of his savings as he pleased. PERTAUB Simla was economical. He probably knew the character of the very honourable Board with respect to its dealings with other native powers. He therefore lived sparingly, relinquished many of the expensive luxuries in which he might have indulged, and accumulated during the twenty years he occupied the throne of Sattara from 25 to 26 lees of rupees, or 250,000/. to 260,0001. sterling. The precaution would have been more wise: and prudent had any measure of justice or equity been meted out. If sent into exile, he would still have had a handsome fortune. If he died, and that for the first time the sacred right of adoption were disputed, his chosen child would be preserved from the trials of poverty. Unfortunately, however, a new code of ethics was about to be esta blished in reference to his particular case on which he could not calculate. When the RAJA was deposed, unjustly and un warrantably deposed, his private property was " taken care of " for him, but his right to it was re cognized. Sir J. CARNAC, the then Governor of Bombay, when directing that the deposition should be carried into effect, declared that PERrAUB SINGH 'NUS to be regarded as "a subject of sympathy and not of punishment," that "an allowance would be in.ade from the Sattara revenues for the support and respectability of himself and those members of his family who may choose to accompany him. Farther that all property belonging to him, BONA FIDE private, and not appertaining to the state, would, on his peaceable submission, not be interfered with." This was a fair contract. The provisions were cumu lative. He was to receive "an allowance from the Sattara revenues" for the support and respectability of himself and family, and, further, his private property. This completely disposes of the transparent him bug that the annuity of 12,0001. a year (the all.w ance above referred to), was in full of all demands, and that in receiving it, he relinquished all claim to the other part of his bargain. The Chairman himself acknowledged the justice of the case, and that he had formerly supported tie claim. Indeed he could scarcely deny it, after tie evidence under his own hand produced by Mr. Sur: Lt VAN ; but, good easy man, he would not re-open the question, and he would see a minor, unable to protect his own interests, deeply wronged because a majority of proprietors had on a former occasion voted on a subject of which they were totally ignorant. This can only be classed with his other argument, that tie RANEE, starved into submission, could dispose of tie rights of the infant RAJA. Both points are too riei culous to demand serious answers. The Court of Proprietors, however, according to the usual custom, supported the Court of Direcbrs. The motion was rejected, although the Clair man acknowledged that the speech of the mover had made a great impression on the meeting. TheEnOish people, who detest every species of injustice and oppression, will, however, ponder on these thugs, and not be quite so easily satisfied as the fortmate Proprietors of East India Stock. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Duke of SOTOMAYER, the Spanish Ambassador, presented his letters of recal to the PRESIDENT of the Republic on Thursday. The students of the College de France have addremed the following letter to M. MICRELET : " The Jesuits have therefore succeeded. You have teen gagged by a Ministerial decree. Your chair has teen broken—but what signifies that ?—your ideas remain. iS e bear them in our hearts, and we keep them there. Yes, sir, your sacred words we will never forget. You have not sown seed in an ungrateful soil. Your instructions 'eke root in us, and to-morrow they will bear fruit. Thanks to ycu, the youths of France understand the revolution—that modern verb; thanks to you, it believes in France, that country of the world and of liberty. Be persuaded, sir the youth—whatever may happen—will remain faithful to the revolution ; and, hereafter, when the day of reparation thall arrive, you will find it at your lectures always assiduous and always sympathetic. The youth swear this to you, aid it will keep its oath." The mummy of a female has been discovered willed up in the Valais de Justice. Some scenes of disorder having occurred at funsrals in the districts comprised in the sth and 6th militia . / di under the command of General CASTELLLNE, that officer has just issued an order which fixes at 300 the maximum number of persons who are for the fiture to be allowed to attend a funeral at Lyons and the Aber districts under his command.

The market was steady.—Rail way Shares were flat. The weekly return of the Bank of England, made up to the 15th inst., presents several changes that indieate a diminished inquiry for money. The advances upon Securities were smaller, and the withdrawal of private lodgments was not extensive, considering that the transfer books are closed. As to the notes out with the public, they were curtailed, both on account of the repayment of loans and the addtion to the balance standing to the credit of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and which in the ordinary course will steadily ase as the quarter advances. The amount of the pre cious metals keeps very steady.

The Hamburgh rates were slightly depressed. It is generally inferred that investments in foreign shares are the main cause of this re-action; but this granted, there can be no great harm provided the public dis criminate and purchase what is known to be valuable and cheap. Some people affect much needless anxiety when a little bullion is withdrawn from the Bank, forgetting that its profitable employment is highly desirable, nay, indispen sable, if the national wealth is to be augmented. On the motion of Mr. Divett a statement has been corn piled of the cost of transmitting the mails and dispatches between Bombay and Suez, &c , by the East India Com pany during 1848 and 1849. We may arrange this in con• densed form thus : 1847-s. Total charges between Bombay and Suez ... £128,204 Receipts from passengers and freight 21,509 1848-9 .. 137,255 Total 18,990 ... £106,695 118,265 Ai a mercantile speculation, if we were to go upon this data, no private company could ever contract for the ser vice, especially as the bi-monthly communication from Aden to Bombay involved a further outlay of 42,639/. We have to bear in mind that 59,0001. is allowed by Government, and the total net loss to the company, therefore, would be re duced to 11',8041. It may be worth the company's while to submit to the sacrifice, and no one but the proprietors or the taxed inhabitants of tt e East would have reason to complain if adequate accommodation were afforded to the public. Such, however, is not the case. The servici is unsatis factorily performed, and there are private companies who, for the like subsidy from Government, would undertake to do it better, and make it pay into the bargain. The small amount received from freight and passengers is the best possible com menta y on the defectiveness of the arrangements. The accounts from the textile manufacturing districts re press:, t business as being rather quiet, but there were symp toms of improvement on Thursday, and some demand arose for the Eastern markets. The quantity of bullion exported from London during the week ending to•day has been 204,000 ounces of silver and 3,500 ounces of gold; the former to Holland and Belgium, and the latter to France. The English Funds are still comparatively heavy, and without much doing. Consols 96% % for Transfer, and 96 1 / 2 % for Account. Exchequer-bills are lower again, being 525. to 555. premium.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the LORD CHANCELLOR, at Lincoln's Inn.) CASE OF MISS TALBOT. On the case of " Doyle v. Wright" being called on this morning, Mr. Bour said he appeared for Miss Augusta Talbot, by her next friend, Dr. Doyle, who was her legal guardian, and who, it would be recollected, presented a petition to his Lordship, under his Lordship's direction, as to the residence of the young lady, during the London season. Now, last evening, they were served with a copy of a petition, pur porting to be in the name of the young lady, by the Hon. Mr. Craven Berkeley, as her next friend, but as they did not at the same time receive copies of the affidavits, they were not prepared to meet the statements and assertions con tained in them ; otherwise he should have been quite ready to proceed with the case this morning. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he understood the object of the two petitions to be precisely the same, viz ,as to the arrangement to be made for the young lady's residence. Therefore, in truth, there was nothing to contest which was material to the young lady. Mr. ROLT observed tkat there were matters alluded to in the petition which materially affected the character of other individuals; but he need hardly say that there was nothing which either directly or indirectly affected the conduct of the young lady. He was quite content to leave the circum stances to be elucidated by the young lady herself at an in terview with his Lordship, without having recourse to affidavits. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he saw the young lady in the autumn of last year when on a visit to Lord Shrewsbury, and she appeared an intelligent person, fully competent to exercise her own judgment. He was surprised, after what he heard, that she had gone to a convent. It had been stated that she had gone there with his (the Lord Chancel cellor's) consent, but there was no foundation whatever for that statement. Mr. Berkeley had applied to him in his private room at the House of Lords for a habeas corpus to bring up the young lady, but he tho ught it only fair and prop :r not to consent to an irregular proceeding of that kind, and Mr. Berkeley then stated that he would present a peti tion to the House of Commons on the subject, which he left him to do. The only object of parties on the present occasion should be to promote the young lady's interest. Mr. BOLT admitted that that should be the object. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had received a letter from Miss Talbot, which he would hand down to Mr. Rolt. Mr. BOLT observed that if the question was as to the young lady's residence during the last year of her minority, that would depend on anything which she might say her self ; but matters had been introduced into the affidavits by persons who were comparative strangers; he therefore thought the case should be allowed to stand over. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he did not think it right to leave the young lady in a convent, but some arrangement ought to be made for her comfort during the remainder of her minority. If a reference were made to the Master, be would report to him (the Lord Chancellor) who was the most proper person to have the care of her. Mr. BOLT said his side were quite ready to procee I now with his Lordship's direction, bat it was only justice that they should have an opportunity of answering the matter contained in the affidavits of the other side. The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was important that some arrangement should be speedily Ilmade for securing the young lady's comfort during her minority. Mr. BOLT repeated that his side was quite ready to take his Lordship's direction with regard to that. Mr. Woos could not agree with his Learned Friend that the examination of the young lady would be sufficient to meet all the circumstances of the case, because there were facts sworn to with reference to an interview which took place in the convent between the young lady and one of the petitioners, as well as to certaia admissions said to have been made by the superior of the convent at that interview, which it was important for the ends of justice should be fully investigated. It was also important that the prayer of Mr. Craven Berkeley that he might have free access to the young lady should be supported by evidence. Mr. BOLT said, of course, with regard to that prayer, his Lordship would consult the young lady's own feelings in dis posing of that. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, there must be a reference to the Master to prepare some scheme for securing the young lady's comfort during the rest of her minority, and therefore Mr. Rolt might take an order according to the prayer of his client's petition. NIL Rum suggested that, after this decision, the matter had better stand over till Wednesday, and in the mean time perhaps his Lordship would be pleased to consider whether the discussion should take place in public or private. His side had nothing to conceal and nothing to be afraid of. All that they were anxious about was to secure the interest and comfort of the young lady. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that of course all futu - e discussion would mainly have reference to the prayer of Mr. Craven Berkeley's petition to be allowed access to the young lady as her next friend. Mr. ROLT hoped, under these circumstances, his client would have an opportunity of replying to the allegations contained in the petition. The LORD CHANCELLOR said—Certainly. The petition stated that the young lady was a postulant; but the peti tion of the young lady stated that she was not, nor did she enter the convent with the view of becoming one. Mr. Wool) reminded his Lordship that the abbess, or su perior of the convent, had admitted that the young lady was a postulant. The LORD CHANCELLOR was at a loss to see how that could be, seeing the young lady had already expressed her willingness to come to town and enter into society. Mr. ROLT said that was perfectly true, and all that his client wanted was, that arrangements should be immediately made for her entering society in a suitable manner. Mr. PARKER appeared for the Earl of Shrewsbury, and informed the Court that th ere were statements i n t h e a ffidavits which his Lordship was anxious to have an opportunity of contradictng. Mr. WOOD hoped that his client's petition would be refer red to the Master with that of the other side. Mr. ROLT objected to this. certainly T h The LORD ofe rendered the CHANCELLORyoun youn g ladyaid Mr. Craven theC ra vcn Courtß e:rkfierlsety serviceni had e bringing the matter before him.

Rovr If your Lordship thinks it desirable to see her, she will come to town. Th e Loi , CHANCELLOR—What do you propose? ildr. ROLT—We will send for her as soon as possible. The LORD CHANcxur.on—Of course I should not wish her to leave the convent without knowing where she is going. His Lordship, after some further conversation, said it was not advisable that the young lady should be involved in a civil contest for the gratification of other persons. Already had her name been made the subject of much public comment, though she stood perfectly clear as regards any attack on her own character. Mr. WOOD --If the gentleman calling himself the Bishop of Clifton had abstained from publishing any letters in the newspapers, it would be extremely satisfactory. I cannot believe that such an individual has any right to style himself a Christian bishop.—(Laughter.) The LORD CHANCELLOR -.I must say there is a great dis crepancy between that letter and the one I received from the young lady. Mr. Woon—He states in his letter most distinctly that she is not a postulant. The LORD CHANCELLOR—And the young lady says she never contemplated becoming anything of the kind. I think it is very desirable that while this matter is pending news paper contests should be avoided. Mr. BOLT —We have done everything to avoid it, but of course we have no control over the gentlemen alluded to. 't he Loaf) CHANCELLOR—PubIic discussion in the news papers was not unnatural in the first instance, with the view of calling attention to the case; but it had better be now avoided. His Lou' then handed to Mr. Rolt the letter of Miss Talbot, observing that it was just such a one as he should expect from a young lady in her peculiar situation. Mr. `Noon—Will your Lordship allow me to see it? The LORD CHANCELLOR— Certainly. The further hearing of the case was then adjourned until Thursday next.
