SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self -acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, tUnfruitfulo which Ner arri vous Debility, various forms of Insanity , Unhappy and M ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, mid their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be rtmoved, and how the evil and its conQequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical 111111V:0V or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rest arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. Alt letters must contain the fee of 1 i., and advice and. medicines can he forwarded to any initials or address.

Without elcurMiering the sukject with too many and minute directions, the authorities consider that by keep ing the principa'.., of the following instructions in view the officers commanding the various regiments may beneficially exercise their men in the practice of pitch ing and striking their tents, and desire that such; prac tice shall take place accordingly. The Honourable Board of Ordnance have been re quested to place two tents per regiment or battalion at the disposal of commanding officers for this purpose. INSTRUCTIONS. 1. Whenever possible, the quartermaster, or an officer acting for him, with a non-commissioned officer and a on 2 e . or fih ot is he r offi of ce th r camp colour-man per company, will precede the corps to be encamped. take will r the ods laid up down ground in t f h o i panies and the officers and other tents, &c., according e to the directions he may have received to conform to '\,,„ tions for Encampments," marking by a picket the spot to be occupied by each tentpole; and taking care that the lines of tents are pendicular and correctly covered. 3. Before arriving in camp the men will be told off for their several functions, as " pole-men," " and " unpackers of tents," two men being allotted for ;o n :: each of these duties, and six in all for every tent. More than this number only impede each other. Each tent requires, therefore, one section of three; to pitch or strike it. 4. From the remainder of the company the parties will be told off fo r " prov i s i ons, wood, water, fire, guards and piquets," and for the pitching of the officer's' orderly room, store room, guard tents, &c. To each tent, as far as possible, a non-commissionea officer will be told off. -6. It is known that the soldiers' tent, with its cords, occupies a space of nearly six yards, that is, between seven and eight paces from pole to pole. 6. The pole-men being stationed at the spots indicated by the piquets, the pole is lowered, and the cap of the tent fixed on, and all things prepared for the raising of the tent. On the signal, or word of command, the whole of the poles are raised together, the skirt of the tent being lifted over the poleman's head. 7. It will be remembered that, to ensure stability, four of the cords which divide the circumference accu rately into quarters must be first made fast before any of the others. 8. Each cord must be stretched on the true prolonga tion of the tent seam. 9. The slides must be made fast at an equal distance from the tent and the ground peg, so as to permit shift ing, as expansion or contraction of the cord ensues on atmospheric changes. 10. The non-commissioned officer sees that the door is properly placed, and attends especially to the fasten ings of the first four pegs, with a view to the general uprightness of the pole and security of the tent, under the general superintendence of the company officers ; one being stationed at the flank, the more easily to detect and correct errors. 11. In order to strike the tents, all the pegs are drawn except the fo ur fi rs t d r i ven , and four men place them selves at these, in readiness for the signal—they draw these pegs and hold down the tent till the signal be given. 12. On the signal the pole-men lower the poles to the rear, and come out by the door, bringing the poles with them. 13. In rolling up the tent the cap is turned on one side in such a manner as shall make it visible at one end when the tent is rolled. This .prevents the cap from cutting the tent. [PRICE SD. AFFAIRS OF THE EAST. (Prom the Times.) The Journal des Debats of yesterday publishes a nar rative of the negotiations carried on by Prince Men sehikoff at Constantinople, and an abridgment of the notes and draught convention which have led to the in terruption of diplomatic relations between the Russian Envoy and the Porte. This statement, published by the most important political journal of France, is so en tirely conceived in the Russian interest that we must be permitted to doubt whether the materials of which it is composed were all derived from Constantinople. The principal documents quoted or described in it are, how ever, authentic and correct, for they correspond with the version of the same papers forwarded to ourselves ; and it is for this reason especially that we lay them at once before our readers, since they throw more light than anything that has yet been made public on this trans action. It will be recollected that on sth May Prince Menschi koff obtained from the Porte the two firmans which satis fied his demands with reference to the Holy Places. But no sooner was that affair brought to a satisfactory conclusion, than the Russian Envoy proc ee d e d, i n a note of the same date, to lay great stress on a third demand which had hitherto been left in the back ground. This demand was for a convention to guarantee the privileges of the Greek Church in the Ottoman Em pire ; it was then represented as the most important object of the mission ; and an answer was required within five days, " inasmuch as the Ambassador could only consider a longer delay as a want of respect to his Government, which would impose on him the most pain ful necessities." Such was the conclusion of the note. The convention annexed to it consisted of six *Aides, the first of which is the cause of all that has since oc curred. It provided " that no change whatsoever should be introduced in the rights, privileges, and im munities which have been enjoyed and aro now pos sessed cib, atztiquo by the churches, the religious institutions, and the orthodox clergy of the Eastern Church, in the whole extent of the dominions of the Ottoman Porte, which is pleased to secure to them all such rights, privileges, and immunities on the strict basis of the status quo now existing." Such is the tenour, if not the exact text, of this celebrated proposition, which comprises the essential portion of the Russian demand. The other articles of the convention stipulated that the Greek Church should constantly be placed on the footing of the most favoured Christian nation, and should participate in all favours and privileges granted to other Churches ; that at Jerusalem the relation of Greeks and Latins should remain unchanged ; that the two last firmans granted to Russia on the Holy Places should be confirmed by the Sultan, and placed under the sanction of this treaty ; and that leave should be granted to erect a Greek church and hospital at Jerusa lem, to be served by Russian priests. These proposi tions were acceded to by the Porte, with the exception of the first. The rejection of that article was the express ground of Prince Menschikoff's departure. It will be seen that, as we have more than once ob served, the Russian demand did not include any change in the nomination of the Patriarch, nor any overt autho rity over the clergy, nor any interference with the tem poral allegiance of the Greek population to the Porte. On all these points there has been a good deal of exag geration, which of course places the case against Russia on a false and insecure foundation. The phraseology of the objectionable article is, in fact, so mild and guarded, that, without the experience we have of the Russian mode of proceeding in the East, its effects would not be at once apparent. Turkey is called upon to promise that no change is to take place adverse to the rights, privileges, and immunities of the Greek Church in her dominions. She would probably not hesitate to give that assurance to the whole world ; and the policy which can alone prolong her existence as a government is to extend those rights, and to raise her Christian popula tion to be the servants and supporters of the Empire. But, when that promise is demanded by Russia alone, when it is accompanied by threats, and converted from a free gift of toleration into a diplomatic contract, the Turkish Ministers recoil from the snare. However mild in form, Russia knows that this article, if conceded, would suffice for her purpose • and the argument derived from the seeming innoc ence Of the proposal is lost in the vehemence and the threats by which it was supported. If it were true that such a concession were too slight a matter for Turkey resolutely to refuse, it would also be true that such a demand is an absurd and untenable . The following regiments of cavalry, troop and bat teries Royal Artillery, companies of Royal Sappers and Miners, battalions of the Foot Guards, and regiments of infantry, have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to assemble on Chobham•common, to form the camp The Ist Regiment of Life Guards, under the command of Colonel John Hall, from Windsor.

The 13th Regiment of Light Dragoons, under the command of Lieutenant• Colonel C. E. Doherty, from Hounslow. ground of a diplomatic rupture, which has brought two empires to the brink of hostilities. We differ, there fore, from the inference which the Joui.na/ des Debats draws from these papers, when it argues that the differ ence is too slight to lead to serious consequences. But the French journal makes a further allegation, which materially affects the case, and would even throw a doubt on the consistency of the British Government. An attempt is made to show that this proposal was originally put forward on the 22d of March, including the draught of a treaty, and that its existence must, therefore, have been known to Lord Clarendon when he stated in the House of Lords, on the 25th of April, that the British Government was still disposed to rely on the assurances that had been given to all Europe, and espe cially to our Ministers, upon the word of honour of the Emperor Nicholas. This part of the case requires some further explanation, and it will be found not to support the innuendo which the Journal des Debats rests upon it. It is true that at an earlier period of his mission Prince Menschikoff did put forward a scheme of a convention ; and that one of his first acts was to endeavour to prevent the Porte, by intimidation, from communicating the pending negotiations to the ministers of France and England. In this, however, he failed, and on the arri val of Lord Stratford and M. De la Cour they found that something had been said of such a convention, which extended even further than that subsequently proposed on the sth of May, and included, we believe, the nomination or investiture of the Patriarch of Con stantinople. But no sooner was this fact known to the British ambassador than he remonstrated against such a project, as inconsistent with the promises given at St. Petersburgh, and with the independence of Turkey. The consequence was that Prince Menschikoff with drew his first demand, and led his diplomatic colleagues to believe that he had abandoned it, as, in fact, he had in that form ; and it must have been under the impression that such a project had never been seriously entertained, and was at once aban doned on their remonstrances, that the British Govern. ment repeated its declaration of confidence in the assur ance of Russia. Taking into account the time which elapsed between the withdrawal of the first convention, proposed on the 22d of March, and the arrival of the courier who reached Constantinople on the 4th of May, there is strong ground to conjecture that Prince Men schikoff wrote to St. Petersburgh for ulterior instructions after his first check, and received them at the later date in the form of the last convention. The note which accompanied it expressly declared that "it had under gone alterations, in compliance with the objections urged by Rifaat Pasha," and added that th e new draught was annexed, in the hope that " the expectations of the Emperor would not this time be deceived." If these alterations had been those of Menschikoff himself, he would not have required nearly six weeks to revise his proposition ; but the delay considerably augments the presumption that a reference was made to St. Peters burgh. While, therefore, the foreign Ambassadors were lulled by the belief that the demand which had been made and withdrawn was definitively abandoned, the Russian Envoy was only preparing to return to the charge. It is entirely erroneous to assert or to insinuate that the scheme, if known to the British Government or Ambassador, excited anything but its strong repro. bation ; and the fact that the first scheme was modified and abandoned may have been regarded as an additional proof, at that time, of the sincerity of the Russian Go vernment.

We confine ourselves, on the present occasion, to a statement of these communications as we believe them to have been made, and we shall only remark that the delay which took place between the first and second Russian propositions seems to exclude the possibility of Prince Menschikoffs having acted without full instruc tions and authority on the sth of May, and it also renders it more improbable that the Emperor Nicholas will desist from pretensions which he thought fit to ad vance in such a form and after full deliberation. THE AUSTRIAN MODE OF TREATING POEM—The Aus trian officer in command of the garrison at Perugia (Papal States) was lately irritated at a satire, the pro duct of an unknown pen, which made its appearance on the walls of the town directing its iambics against the imperial army. Unable to discover the author, the officer requested the Papal governor to furnish him with a list of all the poets of Perugia, a somewhat em barrassing commission to execute in a country where rhyming seems the natural language. However, the magistrate, after due criticism, produced five indivi duals, whom he considered to have drunk of the Hype rean springs sufficiently deeply to be entitled poets. The Austrian had them all stripped in the presence of a medical officer, whom he ordered to examine them, and report upon the physical capacity of each of them for receiving blows with a stick. Naturally belonging to a genus irritabile, and of excitable nervous confor mation, the unfortunate poets were set down by the surgeon a/ a charitably low number of bastinadoes, and were still more gratified when the o ffi cer, instead of actually carrying into execution his " cutting up," an operation even more galling than that of hostile re viewers, contented himself with addressing them in the following terms :—" Gentlemen, you have just heard the number of stripes which the doctor considers each of you capable of supporting—they will assuredly be ad ministered to you upon the reappearance of any anony mous w ou is s h sa y ti o r i e t . a v Y e o r y u g n o s o w d kninoowrnitnhge.p,Lic veoefklyyoNuretcvserasensci Chro l n v z l 'C L /C. n BROTHERS.—By an unusual coincidence, the pthe poems at successful competitors for the respective nthoeidtsw, ooufnsivtoekrseitiNeseawriengtbroont,hesrsur,gthe sons ofe MeldrerßiesYm. , e r o id has just gained scholar of Exeter College, Ovford gyptian Theb es Cam e t b ri es d . g " ; poem on the sub the Newdegate prize for the En The e wh y o o m un h ge as r is a scholar of King's College, jest of the Ruins of E been adjudged the Chan glish poem i n heroic Chan cellor's verse medal for th e b est En- Castle." , the subject being " Wainer LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 2, 1853.

'WEAT HE R unusually fine drew thousands to the "Downs," and every mode of conveyance was adopted by visitors anxious to witness the results of the race, through clouds of dust, which the Roman poet mentions when referring to the famous Olympic. All classes had to pass, but never was the contest of Dress so plainly decided, and that which looked elegant and felt comfortable secured the palm. This, as on all previous occasions, was universally awarded to the productions of E. Moses and Sots. The fact is, the materials from which the SUMMER DRESS is made are such as dust and sunbeams never change, and the cut and style of the Garments meet with equal approbation amongst all classes, from the nobleman to the industrious mechanlc. Predictions rela tive to the winner of the "Derby" have, on some occasions, proved fallacious, but " West Australian" was generally considered the favourite by all parties. Emblems illustrate business, and names interpret commercial transactions ; but in no case could this be so applicable as to the Business of E. Moses and Boer, always victorious in the race of commerce in this country, winning public approbation by first-rate Dress at every season of the year, taking the start in every new style, and maintaining through the COURSE of the seasons, and turning the slailEs in the public favour by giving them a large per tentage in the price of every article of Dress, to measure or ready-made.

HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF THE CHEST.—The twelfth anniversary of the Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Chest, was celebrated yesterday by a public dinner at Willis's Rooms, King street, St. James's-square. The Marquis of Westminster presided on the occasion, and was supported by Lord Feversham, Lord Dynevor, the Rev. Sir H. Foulis, Bart. ; Mr. E. Warner, M.P. ; Colonel Whichcote, the Rev. Mr. W. Bowyer, the Rev. R. Montgomery, &c. The company consisted altogether of about 80 gentle men. It appeared from the report of the committee o management, that 443 in-patients had been admitted into the hospital during the east year. Of that number 292 had been discharged relieved ; 61 had died in the hospital, and 90 remained in the wards. The number of out-patients of the hospital during the last year had been 3,671. The total number of persons relieved since the opening of the new building stood thus :—ln-pa tients, 2,445 ; out-patients, 21,441 ; total, 23,886. In the course of the evening lists of subscriptions were read amounting to nearly 2,0001. The proceedings were enlivened by the performance of select pieces of vocal and instrumental music. Mr. Toole discharged the duty of toast-master throughout the evening with his usual efficiency. Hon—BEFORE AND AFTER MARRIAGE.—Boys and galls fall in love. The boy is all attention and devo tion, and the gall is all smiles, and airs, and graces, and pretty little winnin' ways, and they bill and coo, and get married because they hope. Well, what do they hope ? Oh, they hope they will love all the days of their lives, and they hope their lives will be ever so long just to love each other ; its such a sweet thing to love. Well, they hope a great deal more I guess. The boy hopes arter he's married his wife will smile as sweet as ever and twice as often, and be just as neat and twice . as neater, her hair lookin' like part of the head, se tight, and bright, and glossy, and parted on the top like a path in the forest. Poor fellow, he aint spoony at all. Is he ? And he hopes that her temper will be as gentle and as meek and as mild as ever ;in fact, no temper at all—all amiability—an angel in petticoats. Well, she hopes every minute he has to spare he will fly to her on the wings of love —legs aint fast enough, and runnin' might hurt his lungs, but fly to her—and never leave her, but bill and coo for ever, and will let her will be his law ; sartainly wont want her to wait on him, but for him to tend on her, the devoted critter, like a heavenly ministering white he-nigger. Well, don't they hope they may get all this ? And do they ? Jist go into any house you like, and the last two that talks is these hasibeen lovers.

To-morrow evening a declaration will be made, on the part of the Ministry, respecting the mea sures to be proposed fcir the future government of India. This much was already known from. the formal notifkation on the subject, but the language employed by Lord John Russell on Tuesday even ing now enables us to infer more : particularly the course to be pursued. The President of the Board of Control, said, his lordship, Would on Friday next develope the Ministerial resolutions, and, in making his statement, " would of course give his reasons for proposing to legislate on the subject at the present moment." What these reasons may be we do not pretend to conjecture, but we are pro foundly convinced that one reason only for such a proceeding will be satisfactory to the country--:and that is the competence of Government to propose such a scheme as is required. Nobody can deny that the sooner India is put under a good system of administration the better, and if WI difficulties of the question have so far vanished that Govern ment is prepared, without further delay, to pro duce a complete, sufficient, and accertable consti tution for our Indian empire, the fact will redound largely to their credit. If, however, they have been induced by any solicitations or apprehensions to precipitate the solution of a problen imperfectly understood ; if they are intending to legislate,. not because they feel themselves qualified to legislate, but because they conceive legislation should not be suspended ; if, 111 short, they are proposing to sacrifice the future prospects of India and its popu lation to the assumed exigencies of ,present con juncture, it needs no pecuhae: gift 6i prophecy to foretell the reception of their measure. The people of this country are now thoroughly acquainted with the true position of the question, and alive to its importance. They may not be yet competent to enter into details, bat they know the leading facts of the case, and are conscious of their own responsibilities. They know that the Govern ment of India, as at present constituted, comes to a natural and pre-appointed termination in the course of next year. They know that there was once an East India Company, but that the vested interests of this company in India were all liberally considered and satisfied long ago. They know that since 1833 the Government of India has been ad ministered by the Court of East India Directors, not in any right or by any title of their own, but as trustees for the Crown, and under the Crown's control. They know that this trust is on the point of expiring, and that there exists not the smallest obligation on the Legislature to renew it, except such as may be derived from its ascertainable ex cellence in answering the ends of all government, the happiness, prosperity, and contentment of the country governed. For the last twelvemonth public attention has been directed to a critical examination of these results, and what has been discovered? The sub- Istantial failure of the experiment. We are not pro posing to lay all the sufferings of India to the constitution or conduct of its administration ; but there are certain facts in the character of the Government and the position of the governed so plainly connected with each other that it is impos sible to overlook or misunderstand them. India is miserably poor. It is quite true that it was always a poor country, according to correct ideas of na tional wealth, but it is now poorer than ever, and s becoming poorer still. Taxation has been 1, ailed to its utmost limit of productiveness, and indeed beyond ; yet of all the revenue so collected such a pittance only can be spared for the wants of the country itself, that agriculture languishes, in ternal communications fail, and the population is periodically exposed to the miseries of famines, which the outlay of a few thousand pounds would have prevented. While such is the absolute impo tence of the Indian Exchequer, look at the enor mous extravagance of the Indian Government ! Every department is maintained and salaried in duplicate ; the single object of the system being to preserve the Imperial Ministry from temptations to dishonesty—its single result to obstruct all govern meat whatever. In India there is an empty Trea sury, an annual deficit, and a miserable population ; at home there is no security for administrative competence, and no responsibility for maladminis tration. While all this is perfectly understood a moral has been duly drawn from events actually now transpiring. We have a Burmese war upon our hands. W e have plunged into the centre of a bar barous empire, and are, perhaps, at this moment in full march for Ava, with the declared obligation ( of keeping in perpetuity every mile of territory we traverse. We have done this while the Exche quer of Calcutta is failing, and while the two chief sources of Indian revenue are threatened, one with diminution, and the other possibly with extinction. The salt and opium duties are the Customs and Excise of India. The former are re ported as falling off ; the latter hive depended upon two strange coditions—that opium-eating in China should be widely practised, anal strictly for bidden. The revolution in that country has al ready deranged the commercial relations on which we relied. The home production o,' opium is to be legalised, and what the Chinese tan grow for themselves they will not import fron Hindostan. Undoubtedly, this event is not chargeable upon the Indian Government, but its comequences are. It is through our system of administration that these opium duties have become indispensable ; and for this administration who is to account 7 Who, at this moment, for instance is fairly re sponsible to Parliament for the Burnes* war ? Is it Lord Dalhousie 7 He is under the orders of the Secret Committee, which is under the orders of the Board of Control. Is it the Boa: lof Control ? The Board is represented by the ?resident, and the President has been changed three times over during the last two years, In the conglo meration of officials constituting this complex Government, nobody can tell whether this or that individual is an autocrat or a dummy— whether he is doing everything or does nothing. Chance, not rule, deter m i nes th e i r spheres of ac tion, while the country r ema i ns t o t a ly in the dark.

Each of these may be active or i nac ti ve , ;harp or som nolent, bustling or biliou s ; an d th e teal control of Indian affairs may reside an y w h e re or nowhere. There is no British Mini s t er substattiallY respon sible to the British Parliament for tin good govern ment of 100,000,000 British subjects. This is the system of administration —exemplified in things actually around us, in mismanaged finances, unimproved resources, an d consequent embarrassments—that the country desires to see terminated at this, the preappointed period for reconsidering our Indian policy. If Sir Charles Wood can bring in a bill which will give India one good government instead of two bad ones, each making the other worse, --if he can establish ar ament in place of any follies can can provide J a direct responsibility to li a political screen, behind which be committed with impunity, — li ,. capacity for Indian the Indian Minister with such assessors as shall have the best presumptive administration, his skill will on himself and his col reflect the highest credit legislate• partially or leagues ; but if he proposes tosulle promptitude sad prematurely on this important infallibly commi% the Govern he will inf proceeding. Govern ment to a very dangerous mere reluctance to wait for the information or op portunity, ( Prom the Mo rnin g Chronicle,) It will have been seen, from Lord aohn Russ e ll' s statement on Tuesday evening, that the Govern ment persevere in their determination to declare their Indian policy to-morrow ; and they are assured beforehand of ready, if not hearty, criti cism. On Monday next, if . Lord Ellenborough persists in the intention which . he announced a week ago, the ministerial plan will be subjected to review in the House of Lords ; and the strange confederacy of gentlemen holding the mole . opposite sentiments, who call themselves the Indian Reform Society, are also preparing to act. A public meet ing is to be assembled to denounce the Government measure, in the highly probable event of its failing to approve itself to the zealous loyalty of Mr. Lucas and Mr. Moore, to the calm impartiality of Mr. Lewin, and to the profound knowledge of other mem b e rs of a committ ee which has been judiciously selected with a view, not to the redress of grievances, bu t to the repre . sentation of every class of malconten ts who are dissatisfied with English institutions in any part of the world. Nothing will be easier than to co llect an audience who will listen with complacency to declamations simultaneously directed against the malversations of the company, the interference of the Crown, the exclusion of the natives from high office, and the tyranny which they exercise in subordinate employments ; nor will a promiscuous assemblage inquire too accurately whether any plan which may be sug- Bested is either consistent with itself or compatibl e with the maintenance of English dominion in India. The publications of the Reform Society afford little clue to the opinions or intentions of the leaders in the movement. Mr. Dickinson, the secretary, in his able and vigorous pamphlet, at tacks all portions of the existing system indiscri nikately ; while a tract, composed partly of a long extract from Mill's history, and partly of an argu ment to the same effect by Mr. Sullivan, is de voted to a denunciation of the absolute power claimed, and occasionally exercised; by the Board a-Control. ilprd Ellenborough knows his own meaning th oughly, and makes the intelligible proposal tha the Court of Directors should be abolished, and that all power should be concentrated in the hands of the Ministers of the Crown. On the other hand, it is possible that some persons might be disposed to undo the legislation of 1784 and 1788, and to restore to the Clompany the manage ment of affairs for which its representatives are likely to possess special qualifications. Such a project, however, is not worth discussing, for the simple reason that, under present circumstances, no political party would support it. But, apart from these two systems, or some union of the principles which they embody, there is no other alternative remaining. Either the Crown, or some independent authority, or a combination of both, must form the Home Administration of India. It is not necessary, however, that, where two elements of power exist, they should be so ar ranged as to counteract each other. Singleness of purpose and action is not incompatible with a large and composite basis of authority ; and even if Can non-row and Leaalenhall-street were both main tained, their relations might be amended and sim plified. It is certain that the direct power of the Crown cannot, by indefinite extension, be made effective for the regeneration of our Eastern empire. It is strange that those who are most clamorous for the responsibility of the Indian Administration to Parliament should fail to perceive that it already exists in theory, and that it has been inoperative solely in consequence of the indifference of both houses to Indian affairs. Until the recent agitation commenced, Lord Ellenborough always failed to obtain a hearing for his powerful denunciations of the company and of the Court of Directors ; nor was any general feeling of indignation excited when a minister, of little weight or reputation, avowed, in a tone of levity rather than of candour, his own responsibility—and, by implication, the responsi bility of Parliament—for the most deplorable crime and folly perpetrated by England during the pre sent generation. If it is proper and constitutional that the Crown should control all Indian policy, it is far more im portant that a share of the administrative authority should be in the hands of persons possessing special qualifications, and exclusively devoted to the interests of the empire which they are to govern. Almost all the shortcomings imputed to the English Government originate, so far as they are real, in insufficient information. The most familiar, and at the same time the most serious, of all Indian grievances arises from the errors committed in the settlement of the land revenue. The Zemindary system established in Bengal, and in three districts of Madras, appears in 'general to have worked badly ; and it was undoubtedly founded on a mis apprehension of the true character of the local chiefs. The ryotwar arrangement, on the other hand, which prevails through the greater part of Madras and Bombay, is based on an error in judg ment of a precisely opposite character. Lord Cornwallis treated the Zemindar as if he had been an English landlord—Sir Thomas Munro con sidered that the ryot held immediately of the Government. In neither case was there any other desire on the part of the rulers of India than to do justice to private interests without endan gering the public revenue. If both systems have failed —as the Madras petitioners, with much show of reason, allege—it is certainly not rational to infer that future settlements ought to be made by an ill-informed Parliament in England, acting in accordance with a wholly uninstructed public opinion. Politicians who wish to legislate at home for the details of our Eastern Administra tion will do well to observe the difficulties which appear on the face of every proposal for change. It is urged in the Madras petition that the English collectors exercise an insufficient control over their native subordinates—the tehsildars and therista dars. Yet the same document contains the most earnest demands for a reduction in the number of those English officials who alone, it would seem, according to the former allegation, afford a check on the fraud and oppression incidental to the col lection of the revenue. Those who have formed their notions of Indian affairs from the pamphlets and declamations which have abounded for the last four months, will do well to inquire whether experienced Anglo-Indians are the complacent optimists who are popularly supposed to be leagued together in defence of exist ing abuses. The evidence given before the Com mittees by some of the most eminent civilians will show that the largest and most liberal views of improvement are quite as compatible with accu rate knowledge as with querulous ignorance and presumption. There are no warmer advocates of the promotion of natives to a higher rank in the service than some of those able administrators who have spent their lives amongst them. The abuses connected with the land revenue are most fully illustrated by men who have not only witnessed their operation, but have studied the various alter native experiments which have been tried in other portions of our Eastern Empire. It is for the Legislature to facilitate every improvement which can be devised either in the judicial or in the financial system of India ; but the direct in terference of Parliament in the settlement of questions of practical administration would be equivalent to a determination that no advantage should be derived from any additional knowledge which may hereafter be acquired. Sir George Clerk thinks the ryotwar the worst of several bad methods of collecting the Government revenue ; but he points out the difficulty of substituting a different arrangement in districts where there are neither Zemindars to become answerable for the tax, nor any elective system by which villages could choose their own representatives. Not de spairing of improvement, however, he recommends that various new experiments should be tried in various provinces. A special Act of ParliameNt to regulate the land revenue would effectually pre vent the ultimate establishment of some satisfactory system, which has not as yet been even discovered. All arguments on points of detail come round to the same result—that India requires a strong and a well-informed Government, and hot detailed legislation from England. The first step towards the correction of abuses is to secure the best ad ministrative organisation at home ; and this is the task which the Ministry propose to un dertake. No impartial mind can believe that native evidence as to the state of India could throw any useful light on the question of the con struction of the new governing body at home. A thousand additional complaints of the want of tanks, roads, and bridges would only illustrate the necessity of organising a system by which the revenue should be economised' and profitably ex pended. The crude suggestion which has been made, that a fixed percentage of the public income should be appropriated to works of improvement, is a specimen of the rapidity with which irrespon sible projectors arrive at positive conclusions. The Government, on the other hand, who are blamed for precipitation, because they decline to throw the Indian system into the crucible, proceed with comparative caution. It is not probable that the Ministers have made up their minds as to the claims of Zemindars, or as to the disputed merits of Punchayets ; but, conducting their delibera tions more gradually than their opponents, they have arrived at the preliminary conclusion that the first want of India is a vigorous and intelligent Government. THE LIVEPOOL ELECTION COMMITTEE.—SIIICIDE OF ONE OF THE WlTNESSES.—Yesterday Mr. Kibblewhite, the summoning officer of Christ Church, Blackfriars, sent information to Mr. Carter, the Surrey coroner, that one of the witnesses summoned before the committee of the house respecting the Liverpool election had destroyed his life. It appears that two of the electors, one named Thomas Parkinson and the other (his cousin) Joesph Parkinson, took lodgings for the time they were engaged to attend the committee, in Brunswick-street, Black-1 friars-road. On Tuesday morning Thomas Parkinson proceeded to the water-closet in the yard, where he managed to pass a black silk handkerchief through a hole in the door, and then suspended himself to the same. He was quickly discovered, but instead of the inmates of the house at once cutting him down, they sent to the police-station for assistance. Police constable 23 Lat once attended and cut him down. Mr. Bolton, surgeon, of Cross-street, promptly arrived, opened the jugular vein in the arm; but only a few drops of blood flowed, and he pronounced life to be quite extinct. There is no doubt that if the deceased had been cut down when he was first discovered, his life would have been saved. He is stated to be a' widower, and about 40 years of age. It is expected that the inquest will be held to-morrow (Friday). EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.

The screw three-decker Duke of Wellington, at Ports. mouth, it is said, has gone down so deep in the water, that she has only about two inches to spare between her keel and the mud. Should a strong south-easterly wind set in, she might have to go into dock again to repair the " rubs." Naval Cadet.—H. L. Price has been appointed to the Sybille, 40, Devonport. The Herald, Captain Henry Mangles Denham, from Plymouth and the Cape, arrived at Sydney on the 18th February. She left Plymouth Sound on the 10th of June, on a surveying expedition ; she arrived at Ma deira June 28, and left July 9 ' • at St. Vincent's, ' July 17, and left 29 • Rio, Sept. 24, and left Oct. 29 ; Tristan de Acunha, Nov. 12, and made a running survey of the island ; arrived at Table Bay, Nov. 26, and left Dec. 5 ; Simon's Bay, Dec. 7, and left 27 ; St. Paul's, Jan. 16, left Jan. 27, having made a thorough survey of the island. Several deep-sea soundings were obtained during the voyage, the deepest of which, 7,766 fathoms, was in lat. 36 49 S., long. 37 6W. The Torch has been used as a tender, but proved of little service, as the Herald towed her from Madeira to Rio, a distance of 5,000 miles, in conse quence of her not being able to sail, and having an insuf ficient supply of coals for steaming. She left Simon's Bay the day after the Herald, but did not reach St. Paul's until 10 days later, and sailed thence for King George's Sound, from which place she is probably now on her way to Melbourne. The Herald spoke the Rose bud on the 20th of January, off St. Paul's, bound to Melbourne ; also the ship Alexander, from Mauritius, Jan. 13, 12 days out, bound to Melbourne. The cap tain of the foretop, and an interpreter, a native of the Feejee Isles, died on the passage of dysentery. The Torch is one of the us e l ess i ron steamers of Navy office design, notoriously k nown as one of the " half dozen." PORTSMOUTH, Jun 1.
