In adopting this course, I am influenced also by the strong feeling of interest and attachment imbibed from early youth towards India and its people. Having retired from mercantile pursuits. it would now be most gratifying to me to have an opportunqy of devoting my time to duties which would be so much in unison with my best and warmest feelings. Should you do me the honour to approve of these motives, and enable me to accomplish my °lnt, by ultimately Electing me a Member of your Executive, I can at least promisd you an earnest and faithful discharge of the important duties which would devolve upon me.

[The following appeared in our Third Edition of last night :—] _____ _ CHINA. HoNGKoNG, MARCEL 10.—Her Majesty's steamer Medea, Captain Lockyer, leaves this port to-day, for Bombay, and it is expected she will arrive there before the departure of the bi-monthly mail. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Lady Mary Wood arrived here on the evening of the Bth on her way to Shanghai. By her we have ac counts from England to the 7th of January. The only important intelligence we have to report since we last wrote is the destruction, in a bay about 35 miles from this, of 13 piratical junks. At the request of the Chinese authorities at Ciwloon, oppo site to this, her Majesty's steamer Medea, was dis patched on the afterooon of the 4th, with a mandarin on board. She returned the following day with the intelligence of having discovered the pirates, of having killed about 220 men, and destroyed 13 of their junks. About 600 - men got on shore and escaped. It seems very evident tbat nothing will deter these desperadoes from coalescing and follow ing their vocation, even after the severe lessons they have had. Two steamers of light draught of water and well armed to cruise along the coast would be the best adapted to keep down piracy; and, wood fuel being always procurable, their expense would not exceed that of brigs of war, which are comparatively useless for the purposes required. It is to be hoped that the Admiralty will give con sideration to the recommendations which we know. have been frequently urged upon them on this subject. The following is an extract from Captain Lockyer's official dispatch, addressed to Captain Morgan, senior naval officer in China : "H.M. Vessel Medea, at Hongkong, March 5, 1850. " Sir,—l have the honour to report to you that on my arrival at Kut-o, at 5.15 yesterday evening, I found 13 piratical junks and four cargo junks at anchor. "On the appearance of her Majesty's steam-vessel under my command, 12 of the piratical vessels swept in shore, one of the largest remaining at anchor without offering the slightest resistance; the crews jumped over board, endeavouring to make for the shore, but upwards of 150 of them were destroyed by our shell and mus ketry. "It soon became so dark that I was compelled to dispatch the paddle-box boats of this steam-vessel, under the command of Mr. William Brodie, acting mas er, with orders to take possession of the junks which had swept in shore; but finding that he was re sisted I proceeded to his assistance in the gig, accompa nied by the pinnace of her Majesty's ship Hastings, com manded by Lieutenant Webber, the Royal Marines under Lieut. Holland, with the Medea's cutter, under the com mand of Lieut. Gibbons, and found Mr. Brodie very closely pressed by a very great number, who made strong endeavours to recapture the junks. We soon re pulsed these pirates with a considerable loss on their psrts, and the capture of five prisoners ; but, owing to the darkness and the very heavy rain which unfortu nately came on, we were unable to follow up our pursuit of them on shore. " I therefore brought the junks to the ship, and this morning destroyed eight, one having during the night caught fire and blown up,. and the remaining four hay. ing been given up to their former owners, wh o were pointed out by the mandarin. posi tion of During considerable the burning junk; but by the able exertions of Lieute my abs endcaenge ther , ship from w th as close approach of placed in a e Lieute nant Wood, who was left in charge, she was cleared. " Early this morning I sent the boats under the com mand of Lieutenant Gibbons, with the Royal Marines under Lieutenant Holland, accompanied by Mr. Cald well, the assistant police magistrate, and the mandarin who came on board from Cowloon, to scour the island, and they succeeded in capturing fifteen prisoners. The greater part of the crews who reached the shore took advantage of the darkness of the night to seize boats and leave the island. " Fortunately, from the water being so deep in the small bay in which these piratical junks were anchored, enabling this steamer to approach within five yards of the shore, we succeeded in destroying a much greater number than we could have hoped for, with little or no damage to the town, one fisherman only having been killed by our shot. "Four of these junks were very large, of upwards of 250 tons, mounting 10 or more guns of various calibre, and resembling those formerly destroyed on the west coast ; the remainder were evidently recent captures, hastily fitted up for piratical purposes. " Having completed this service, I am happy to say without any casualties or loss on our side, and receiving no further information, I have returned to this port." The Apollo troop ship sailed for this on the 3d, with the 95th Regiment on , board. From San Francisco we have accounts to the 14th Januhry, from Shanghai to the 21st February, Bombay 9th February, Calcutta 26th January. The Lady Mary Wood steamer leaves this for Shanghai on the 11th, and is expected back before the Mail leaves this on the 30th. Admission, ]s.—Schools, Half-price.

Excepting a few items of news purely local, our files of Jamaica papers, which extend to the 7th ult., do not contain any intelligence whatever of political interest. The want of rain in nearly every part of the island was much felt. There had been some showers on the north side, but they were most pai tial. Kingston, on the morning of the packet's de parture, was also visited by a refreshing fall, which, however, was not of long duration. Throughout the whole country rain clouds were gathering, and it was thought that the " May seasons" would commence early. The island was perfectly quiet, and, with few exceptions, healthy. A most melancholy accident, resulting in serious loss of life, occurred in the harbour of Port Morant on Saturday, the 30th of Alarch. The sloop Caro line, having on board several ladies and gentlemen of respectability, was about leaving the port for Kingston, when she accidentally ran upon a reef. Un necessary alarm being excited—for their situation was not very perilous—the passengers rushed to the boat which was lowered to receive them, and which, being overloaded, almost immediately sank. Seven lives were lost, among them a Mrs. Duffus and four children, comprising the entire family of Mr. Duffus, who was amongst those rescued. The sad affair created much excitement. Another alarming and dent occurred on. Hazelymph estate, in St. James's, by the bursting of a retort filled with boiling liquor. By this accident three persons, in eluding the book-keeper of the estate, Mr. Edward G. Clarke, meta painful death. The House of Assembly of Antigua was prorogued on the 4th of April by Governor Higginson, who delivered a lengthy speech. An address was after wards presented to him by the Legislative Council expressive of their regret at his departure from the colony. The treasurer of the island has been autho rised to raise by loan on the public credit the sum of 7,5001. There was a slight improvement in the weather, a few showers having fallen. During the absence of the Governor the affairs of Antigua will be administered by the Lieutenant-Governor of St. Kitt's. A cutaneous disease, closely resembling small-pox, has appeared in St. Christopher, proving fatal in some In trade, at Canton, there is little change to report.

In order, therefore, to prevent all difficulties, the interim is to continue for some time longer. With regard to the steps to be taken to arrive at the settlement of the German Constitution, it is said that Austria will assume the initiative. The German Governments will be invited to send plenipotentiaries to Frankfort, whose only busi ness will be to deliberate on a new form to be given to the Confederation, in taking into consideration the Convent:on of Munich of the 27th February. The Central Federal Commission is maintained in its functions for two months." The Cologne Gazette has the following, under date of Berlin,. 29th ult. :—" An order of the day has just been addressed to the army, which has caused a great sensa tion. It says : 'All the soldiers will immediately lay aside the German cockade. A punishment of three days' imprisonmeat will be inflicted on any soldier who shall be seen wearing it.' The soldiers have obeyed the order. We have already announced the withdrawal of the Austrian troops posted on the Prussian frontier ; we can now add that the Russian forces are retiring towards the interior of Poland." The Bavarian Cabinet has just addressed a note to •the Federal Commission of Frankfort and to the Courts of Vienna and Berlin, in which it states its opinion on the question of the German Constitution. It declares that it will refuse its consent to any provisional Government in which Bavaria shall not have a voice. As to the definitive Government, it again comes back to that of the seven members proposed by the CgAvention of Munich, and supports that proposition by the consent given by Austria, and its analogy to that of Prussia in 1848. . The German Journal of Frankfort, under date of Hanover, 27th ult., states that the Ministers bad on that day received, by the post, a packet from Erfurt, bearing the seal of the Arbitral Tribunal. The Ministers refused to open it. FRANCE. The proclamation of M. Eugene Sue as Member for Paris took place on Thursday at the Hotel de Ville.

The Constitutionnel publishes an article recom mending the immediate adoption of a coup ctetat. It commenc es by demonstrati ng th a t ne i t h er th e Par liamentary power, nor the Legitimatist party, nor the Orleanist par t y , nor the Revolutionists, are ca pable of re solvin g the question; that the President alone can accom p lish the work, with , of course , the co-oper ation of all those who are attached to order ; tha t disasters w ould alone follow from any at t em pt to do it without him ; that this solution, how- Sueannounced were— Eu ever desirable, ought not to be imposed as defini tive s that pe rpetuity in favour of this form or that cannot be decreed, nor must the free will of France be bound to the future. It declares that the existing form of government cannot be regarded otherwise than transitory, in fact as is the present state of the country itself, consequently there should be entertained no idea of modifying it for the mo ment, but only o f prolonging it. The Constitutionnel is of opinion that the promulgation should ex tend to ten years, being the necessary time to re organise society, overturned as it has been to its very foundation It thinks that there is no reasonable mo tive to compel , one to adhere toe strictly to the terms prescribed by the Constitution of 1848 ; the evil sought to be remedied is of a vio l ent ki nd, and the remedy ought to be instantaneogs.; and it is the N a ti ona l Assembly that ought to commence the execution of the work. Th e Constitutionnel also declares that while it decrees the prolongation of the office of President, it o ught, at the same time, to de cree the prolongation of its own mission. This act of double treason w ill not be carried into effect ; the would •be traitors are too weak and too suspicious of each other, and the only result of any such attempt would be destruction swift and sure to all who had been foolish enough to depart from the paths of loyalty. In the meanwhile the first overt act of this intended treason has been committed. • The Moniteur announces that the Minister of the Interior has appointed a commission to prepare a Bill to introduce certain reforms in the present Electoral Law.

W: WIRE, the honorary secretaries, ,read the minutes of the' proceed ings of the last meeting, at which resolutions had. been passed that such arrangements should' , be suggested by the honorary secretaries as seemed to them best mica latea to promote the object of inquiring into'the circum stances relating to those districts or wards from which no returns had yet bean made; and that a small pam pbler, specifying the general objects of the undertaking in a popular form, and adapted to extensive circulation, should be prepared. These resolutions-bad been carrieil Into effrcr. --- - The pamphlet was produced. It gave great satisfac tion, and was ordered to be largely circulated. The Com missioners were announced to be fa,vourasle to:the plan of honorary distinctions as the principle of reward in the Exhibition, and the qu,stion of the prc,teciion of design and invention in objects produced ut tt , e Exhibition, hut not registered or patented, was stated as likely to be settled immediately by a Bill to . be introduced by the Government. Alderman THOMPSON said the executive committee had peen, since the general ci , mmitte: had last assem bled, in communications with the Government, and Mr. Labouchere had expressed his intention to introduce' a short measure to Parliament for carrying intaeffect the protection alluded to, and expressed an earneit wish to receive the suggestions of the committe > upon all mat ters connected with the subject. The Bill was, in fact, in a state of forwardness, and it would be most desir able that some of the mensbers Or the committee should at once communicate with Mr. Labouehere on its provi sions. The meeting, in which a warm and unanimous feel ing was all through the proceeding& expressed, imme diately appointed a deputation to wait upon Mr. La bouchere. It consisted of Sir Moses Monte6ore, Mr. Tucker, Mr. Dallas, Mr. A. Salonnins, and the honorary secretaries. _ . One of the committee said he had seen a paragraph in the Art-Union Journal, stating that the Exhibition of all Nations, appointed fur 1851, was not likely to take place 111 1852. - He wished to knew whether such a postpone ment•wal in contemplation, or whether there. Were any grounds for supposing that the Exhibition would not occur at the appointed period? Lord OVERSTONE, before he answered the question, said he felt great pleasure in attending the committee for the purpose of receiving communications which might facilitate the great object they had in view, as well as of giving such information as might not be conveyed through the usual channels of intelligence. It was the anxious wish of the Royal Commissioners to come into communication with all persons qualified and desirous to render assistance in the magnificent national object about which they were engaged, and Prince Albert had testified his concurrence in that feeling by his personal intercourse with the representatives of the in dustrial classes who had assembled to receive him.-- (Hear, hear.) With respect to the report of a postpone ment of the Exhibition, he.assured the gentleman who had made the inquiry that the question had never been for an instant alluded to amongst the Royal Commis sioners; not ono word had been uttered as to delay. He could very well understand how such a report obtained currency. That there were difficulties to be encountered in carrying out any extensive project there could be no doubt, and in one of such magnitude an exemption from contingencies could not be expected. The Commissioners could not yet say to what extent the public contribu tions were likely to extend, or how far they would be calculated to meet the engagements to be entered into. They were to have a plan of the building for the exhi bition on Thursday next, but it would be difficult to fix the extent of the building without arriving at something like a correct notion of the extent of their pecuniary resources. It had been questioned, too, whether the building could be ready et the time specified; but She engineers felt no hesitation at all in declaring in the affirmative.—(Hear, hear.) Reports and suggestions of that kind had been circulated, and in all probability gave rise to the paragraph which had appeared in the publication, but which certainly had never originated in the brains of any person who sat upon the Commission. Several members expressed a wish to know the exact amount of the money already subscribed, and submitted that increased exertions should be made to, enlarge the list of contributors. Lord OVERSTONE said there bad been already sub scribed 50,0001.—(Hear, hear.) What was not yet col lected, of what had been promised, was not (as our re porter understood his Lordship) as yet ascertained. Mr. WIRE said that meetings were to take place in the suburbs of London, and in various parts of the country, to promote the subscription. There was every reason to believe that in the manufacturing districts the contributions would be liberal, for the jellousies which had arisen at the commencement of the labours of the committee, as to competition with foreigners, had died away, as well as the apprehension of the existence of a job, which had been crushed the instant it appeared. A MEMBER observed that he felt great satisfaction in perceiving that certain prejudices, which certainly existed when the Exhibition was first proposed, had vanished. A friend of his own, who, a few months ago, was averse to the idea of subscribing a farthing, re quested that he would convey to the committee a dona tion► of ten guineas.—(Hear.) The committee, after some conversation upon mat tors connected with their duties, agreed to assemble more frequently, and the chairman pressed upon them the necessity which existed for vigorous exertions to adapt the Exhibition to the pelt character of the country. The warm thanks of the meeting were then voted to Lord Overstone, for his admirable conduct in the chair; and his Lordship, in returning thanks, said it would give hire the most perfect gratification to meet the mem bers frequeutiy, and to bear testimony to the vigour of their exertions. Mr. WIRE announced, at the conclusion of the meet ing, that Baron Rothschild had just handed in a list of contributions to the amount of 3001.--(Cheers.) We noticed the following amongst the gentleman present:—Sir Moses Montefiore, Lord Overstone, Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P., Mr. Alderman Thompson, M.P., Mr. Alderman Musgrove, the Baron Rothschiid, M.P., Mr. Henry Tucker, Mr. W. A. Swinburne, Mr. W. Dallas, Mr. J. Robinson, Mr. J. Wood, Mr. Kennard, Mr. Maudsley, and many others, with the Rev. Mr. Cattley, and Mr. D. Williams Wire, the honorary secretaries. THE EXHIBITION OF 1851. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Siß,—l am surprised to find, in the reports of the various meetings held in the metropolitan districts, that at one only the nature of the composition of the Royal Commission has been canvassed. It might have been supposed, on an occasion like this, if not two-thirds, at least half of the gentlemen placed upon it, might be connected with the manufacturing districts, whose prac tical knowledge would have been most valuable, and certainly had spared the mistakes committed in its various conflicting circulars. Through them an action would have been maintained with the country, and con fidence inspired in the decisions of the Commission , which they do not at present possess. There is at pre sent an apprehension that the Exhibition will disappoint expectations in its result; and unless the Commissioners , who alone exercise all authority, and whose decisions are final upon all principles of action and details, be popu larised, this very unappeased fear will materially mili tate against its success. There is great apathy, not to say indifference, in Birming h am a nd Manchester, amongst the classes who are most to benefit by it; and if this continue, foreign manufacturers, who have had experience in these expositions, will carry off the prizes.

And that it also is desirable that none but manufacturers, distinctly recognised as such, should be allowed to enter the lists as competitors." Mr. Dilke, a member of the Executive Committee, who was present, said the Commission would rospect fully entertain any suggestion submitted to them, but he thought there were more difficulties in drawing the lino between bonci fide manufacturers and owners of manu factories than gentlemen thought. The Commissionil were in communication with the May or of Binning am on the subject, who had issued a circular to the mayors of all the towns in Great Britain, con taining similar views .as those embodied in Mr. L lo y d's s ought Practical men, like the Birmingham committee,for who to be supported,thoseonithior.mesionldnetidoni.36 be nefit,Prince advantage whatever, o directly rignated th and the Prince himself be deeply mortified at the failure of the experiment. andseorh edepende will indirectly, rupon p a p the n f the Comm issioners are at p resent altogether The Westminster Review • says—'• It is obvi ous th a t the plans o th E e l m hi o b s i t ti a o h n ortiv u e st re n s o u w lts may be postponed p a o e n t e i d . another year, it to he quite impossible, cipated.'

The reasons assigned for this step are, Ist, that the Bishop issued his circular, fixing the ceremony without previous communication with the Government ; next, that the circumstances which preceded and accompanied the return of the Pope were of such a political character as to cause " disagreeable sensations" in a republican state; and, finally, that the proposed celebration might give rise to demonstrations injurious to religion, and calculated to disturb public tranquillity. OXFORD, WORCESTER, and WOL VERHAMPTON RAILWAY. The adjourned half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of the above railway was held yesterday, at the London Tavern; Mr. Rufford, M.P., chairman of the board of directors, in the chair. . The CHAIRMAN stated that subsequently to the last meeting the directors had had the pleasure of meeting the five new directors, who had devoted a good deal of attention to the affairs of the company, and he was happy to say the entire board of directors were perfectly unanimous in thecourse to be recommended to the share holders to-day. The board were of opinion that it was for the interest of the company to proceed with some portion of the line, and open it to the public as speedily as possible. That, however, could not be done without the directors had some additional means of raising money than they now possessed, and one of the Bills to be sub mitted to the proprietors to-day would give them that power ; but, supposing that Bill were passed, its provisions could not be put in force without the sanction of the shareholders in special general meeting assembled. The other Bill to be approved of to-day was simply to enable the Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railway Company to re-purchase from this company the Stratford and Avon Canal. In conclusion, he had only to add, that since the last meeting the direc tors had had an interview with the Railway Commis sioners, who had given them an assurance that they should proceed against the Great Western Railway Company as fast as the forms of the law would allow, to compel them to complete the line.—(Hear.) Alderman THoMPsoN, M.P., was glad to hear that so much attention had been paid to the affairs of the con cern by the new direction, but be was sure the meeting, like himself, were anxious to know what portion of the line it was prepared to open. With regard to the two Bills, it was an unparalleled circumstance that this was the first company who, without a single line of rail opened, had introduced six Bills into Parliament, and he attributed that circumstance to the fact of their having three attorneys.—(Liughter.) He should be glad to know, also, how much of the arrears of calls had been paid up since the last meeting, and whether the legal advisers considered the contract of the Birmingham and Oxford Junction Railway for the purchase of the canal was binding or not. If it were a beneficial contract he should certainly object to its being carried out until the Great Wester❑ Company fulfilled their agreement with the company.—(Hear.) He was very much afraid that no legal process whatever could induce the Great Western Company to do justice to do this company, as they had no means of raising money to carry out the line.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN replied, that since the last meeting 6,400/. arrears of calls had been paid up. The contract for the purchase of the canal wai under the seal of the Birmingham and Oxford Railway Company, and was clearly legal and binding; but whether it was beneficial or not he could not say; nothing had been received from it yet. Alderman THoMPSoN—What portion of the line . do you intend to complete forthwith? The CHAIRMAX replied the northern portion, where there wai the greatest amount of traffic and the greatest extent of population, from Abbots Wood to Dudley. . Alderman THOMPSON—What will the cost of that be? The CHAIRMAN said after that point of the line was ready for traffic the directors intended to direct their attention to the completion of the line between Dudley and Wolverhampton. The estimated expense of the whole, in round numbers, would be 700,0001., namely, 350,0001. for the first portion, and 350,,000/. for the part between Dudley and Wolverhampton. Mr. Sergeant GAsELEE observed that it was quite evident that the policy of the Great Western Company was to prevent the line from being made, and he, there fore, thought they ought to have an independent engi neer. He complained that the directors had refused to open the books to the auditors elected at the last meeting. After some further discussion the two Bills were ap , proved of, and, thanks having been voted to the Chairman, L the meeting terminated. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London IVew Price Current, May 3.) St:Gale—To-day larger purchases were made in West India Sugar for home-trade purposes, in consequence of the rates taken being 6d per cwt. under those current last week. The quantity sold amounts to 950 hhds, &c., in cluding at auction 120 hbds.Barbadoes, which went Gd to ls'per cwt cheaper, low to fine yellow selling at 35s 6d to 40s, fair brown 345; 155 pkgs crystalized Demerara went at about the former value, greyish 37s to 435, and brown at 32s to 36s 6d per cwt. In all 2,420 hhds, &a., have been sold for the week, and the market closes flatly. REFINED.—To-day home dealers made purchases with more freedom in refined • goods, still there was no ad vance in the value. The Crushed Sugar market is quiet at previous terms. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was not much de sire evinced to operate in Mauritius Sugar at the public sales, which comprised 3,959 bags, and rather lower rates were acceded to; low to good yellow went at 343 to 36s 6d, brown 27s 6d to 33s 6d per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon at public sale 100 bags low damp brown Madras realised 26s 6d. Of Penang 2,821 bags went at rather lower terms; soft white at 353 fid to 36s 6d, yellow 33s to 355, brown 26e 6d to 30s. The public sales of 4,200 bags Bengal went at barely former terms, but all sold; white Benares at 35s 6d to 38s 6d, yellow like Mauritius 32e to 34s 6d, grainy white 43a to 46s 6d, and yellow 39s 6d to 42s 6d per cwt. FOREIGN.—There has been rather more desire on the part of shippers to operate in bonded freely at the terms of last week. The private operations ar e a cargo of white Bahia at 245, two at 23s 9d, 1,000 chests yellow Havannah at 195 to 21s, 500 chests low brown Bahia at lis 6d. None has been submitted to auction. Duty paid kinds have not met with much attention, but on the value little variation has taken place. At auction 350 hhds Cuba Muscovado, and 370 baskets 3,224 bags of Java have been offered, the former were taken in at 35s to 383 for low to mid soft yellow, whilst the latter was withdrawn and taken in, except a few lots of washed, which sold at easy prices. MOLABSEB.—For West India the market has a quiet aspect, and sellsrs are willing to accept 13s 6d to 17s for low to fine quality, but from present rates little variation is looked for. East India has been pressed with cau tion, and 12s to 13s per cwt is the value. COFFEE.—This afternoon there was not much desire evinced by home dealers or speculators to operate in Native Ceylon, still there were not sellers under 40s fur good ordinary. Ot Plantation 66 casks and >i bags at public sale were sold at about previous terms: fine fine ord and mid at 478 to 535, and common pea berry 56s to 57s per cwt. Mocha is rather cheaper, but at auction 200 bales 300 half-bales were all sold; mid greenish clean garbled went at 53s to 538 6d, good yellow 62s to 635,:10ng berry 64s to 655, black 27s to 355, and damaged 37s 6d to 57s per cwt. Cocoa.—There is more firmness on the part of holders of West India, and at former rates purchases to a fair extent have been made, at auction 415 bags Trinidad for the most sold, good and fine red 43s to 465, low to ord grey 37s to 40s 6d, and damaged 358 6d to 37s 6d per ewt. In Foreign the purchases made have been small, from 27s to 29s per cwt, but there do not appear to ba free sellers at these rates.
