CONDITION OF THE PEOPLE. Sir G. SINCLAIR has published, in a separate and corrected form, the speech he delivered in the House of Commons on May 22. How the Hots ßaronet, entertaining such sentiments as he ex -4 presses, coed . vote in favour of the most oppressive and most unjust of all our fiscal regulations (the Corn-laws) we cannot comprehend. Hailing him, - however, notwithstanding his inconsistent and his - • unrighteous vote, as a powerful auxiliary, we beg leave to lay before our readers the following extract from his corrected speech : " The constant changes occasioned by our oppressive embarrassments at horni; and oar complicated relations with other countries, have deeply af f ected the well being of the working classes, who in almost every ex tensive manufacturing county have, at different times, been overwhelmed with hardships and privafams, dur ing the continuance of which they have never received from Parliament any sympathy or any suc'rour. We all know that stagnation in trade and depress'son of wages have, at no remote period, been successively experienced is various districts ; and I am persuaded, that when ever any great degree of wretchedness preeails amongst the working classes connected with any praticular trade, there is . intactis quoque cura condie,one super cow vuuli. They know that their own tur n may not be far distant, and the degree of attention b estowed by a re formed House of Commons upon tb e interests of the sufferers in any quarter, is watched with painful solici tude by their fellow-operatives at Blanchester, at Be minginun, at Coventry, at Paisley, at Bolton, at Glas gow, at Stockport, or at Worcester. " But evsn, Sir, in those towns, in which there is no immediate want of employment, I believe that the working classes are far frorn being satisfied, or from having reason to be sa cisfied, with their condition. There are millier s throughout the land, who can (it is true) contrive to make the two ends of the week meet, and earn a straightened, or perhaps not inadequate livelihood, hut to whom life is rather a calamity than a blessing ! Many rich man seem to think, that such persons ought to be quite con tented, if they can only exist, and, like the Israelites in Egypt, " get to their burdens," althourh they have no leisure for improving their minds, or sup erintending the education of their children, or indulging in innocent re creations, or passing a portion of their time in the circle of domestic affection. In this respect how much are we eclipsed and put to shame by Pagan legislators of antiquity, who even deemed it a duty to provide public games and amusements for the community, and watched over their happiness with parental anx iety But how heart-breaking is, in numbeeless instances, the mode of life, to which the labouring cl-uses, in this country are compelled to submit ! as if because they are bora to work, they came for no other purpose into the world ! How wretched in meny places are their hovels! How squalid their attire I How scanty and unwholesome their food! How stunning the noise which deafens them for so many hours ! How noxious the atmosphere which they breathe! How gladly would they compound for the same amoaint of comfort and izdependence as is enjoyed by the free negroes in St. Vincent's or Jamaica! They are, no doubt, often • upbraided (and especially by sententious and self-indul `;', gent moralists, when lolling upon elastic cushions in their gorgeous equipages,) with cringing to debasing e • habits of idleness, intemperance, and improvidence ; but I, for one, must own, that I make great allow ance liar men, where retrospect offers no remini scences of past happiness, and whose futurity presents no hope or future enjoyment, i 1 even within the precincts of the gin -palace or the beer-shop, they hasten, when jaded by present toils, and over whelmed by present necessities, for a brief season " to steep the senses in forgetfulness," by having recourse to antidotes, which, although (like the claret and curacoa of the rich,) they are often in the end de s ructive, are at least for the time oblivious. " How many honest and respectable fathers of families are at issue, with those who maintain that the present system is working well ! It does so undoubtedly, as far as the Court, and the persons, who subsist on the taxessare concerned. It is well adapted to further the interests of oil, who have realised or inherited large incomes, or who cars secure preferment for their bro thers, promotion for their uncles, legations for their children, pensions for their widows, or power and place and patronage for themselves. None of us are gratuitous eulogists of things as they are. We never know what it is to want ; we never devote one hour to those harassing occupations, by which the - lives of millions are embittered and abridged. It is indeed, often asserted that our duties are multifa rious and fatiguing, but we can at pleasure modify, s pend, or relinquish them. The privileges and recrea tions of the legislator are as numerous, as the privations and the hardships of the labourer are intense. The former can retire from his sphere of exertion whenever it suits his convenience or caprice, to take his ride in the Park, or his rubber at Crockford's, or enjoy a heb domadal e feast of reason and flow of soul," at Gril lon's. The latter must perform the daily routine of his drudgery without any alternative, and is a stranger to t'-.e resource of pairing off for the night, or retiring to enjoy rural leisure for the week. We anticipate in all the refinements and embellishments devised by mo dern ingeeuity. We all expect, that we shall this even ing retire to comfortable places of abode, where those whom we love, are surrounded by all the conve• niences and most of the luxuries of life. But what shall we say with respect to the destitute hand-loom weavers, and the hundreds of thousands throughout the manufacturing districts, "subject to like passions as we are," and as anxious as we possibly can be for the welfare and the comfort of their offspring. who, long ere morning's dawn, are summoned to unremitting, un healthy, and unprofitable toil, or, perhaps, are cut off from obtaining cmp'oyment at all ; who have no other prospect than of returning at a late hour of the night to their forlorn and cheerless homes in a state of bodily ex haustion and mental despondency ; and who can be queath no legacy to their children but a career as wretch ed as their own ? Is it consistent with reason or com mon sense that persons so circumstanced should feel any strong attachment to the institutions un der which they live—or ought I not rather to say, under which they are doomed to pine in unrelieved and upitied wretchedness ? And ..may it not sometimes occur to them, however erroneously, that those who have nothing to lose, may have something to gain, even through the appalling medium of anarchy and civil discord ? If a feeling of 7disperation and a thirst for vengeance should impel :them to deeds of violence, and that some modern "Menenius should say to them, " Will you undo your selves ?" Might they not reply in the simple and ap propriate language of the Roman citizen, e We cannot, Sir, we are undone already." And to what quarter can they look for compassion ? From whence are 'they to hope for assistance? To transmit their com plaints to this House is an empty ceremony and a vain delusion ; as well might they address themselves to the Congress at Washington, to the Chamber of Deputies, at Paris, or to the Cortes assembled at Madrid. Their petitions arc huddled together like so much rubbish, and consigned in silence to the leathern sepulchre of oblivion, if that indeed can be said to be forgotten, wh:ch scarcely attracted the notice of a single moment ! Should any rash philanthropist venture to utter a single sentence on their behalf, how many pa triotic economists of the public time would grudge the application even of a few moments to such a theme ! But Seven supposing . , though not conceding, that their wretchedness is in no deg ree owing to the s e lfi s h or un ssise legislation of former days) what benefit would ac crue to the sufferers from the most touching effusions of I commiserating eloquence, unless followed up by actual sneasuras for their relief? On such occasions we re semble the priest and the Levite much more than the compassionate Samaritan. On what ground are the former condemned in holy writ ? They had not inflicted the wounds by which their unhappy fellow creature lay bleeding on the highway : they, per haps, were gifted with such exquisite sensibility se a l they were loath to harrow up their nerves by the revol,.‘mg spectacle of h uman di stress, and yet they are exhibitesi es objects of unamimous execration to pos terity, not because they were the authors of the poor man's agony, but bec ause , w i t h out attempting to suc cour him, they " passed b y on t h e other side. " Has t been p rec i se l y similar, when we not our own con'tlee learnt that thousan . ds or even millions of our country men were steeped to t..`.e very lips in poverty, wretched ness, disease, and degradation? And what is it that the working classes, when thus reduced, have presumed to require at our hands ? Do they call for ribbands or _regiments ? Do they ask for coronets or coaches and mix? By no means. The sum and substance of their remonstrances amounts to this, " You are the represen- Wives of the people, a people, of which we form noin cous.:lerable proportion ; we desire not to eat the bread n'eloth we are perfectly willing to work, but are either alto,;et . her unemployed, or cannot, withou t su c h an amount of drudgery as renders life a burden, secure an adequat e st n.' ;fseenee. We, therefore, as a last re source, appeal to you 4' htramity, or rather to your justice, an d pray t h a t y o u will devisee such measures as may enable us either to emigl-ate to foreigu climes, or (which we should infinitely prefer)to earn, within the precincts of our country, for our wiv.: s and children, a decent exi s t ence, comelensurate w i th our ; , here of life." Is there anything unfair anything unjust, anytL'ing un reasonable in this? ti, , e unhappy and patient vitxtPlis ask no more, and I see nest, in conscience, how bumaP nature can be satisfied with less, or what satisfaction it can afford to a starving family to see profusion, wttieh they must not share."

The following is an extract of a recent letter from Buenos Ayres, and, from the great- interest which is just now attached to everything that passes in that part of the world, we have no doubt it will prove acceptable to many of our readers. It is curiously illustrative of the way in which public business is conducted by the South Americans : " All oyes are fixed on the invading troops under La velle and his grand ally, the French military chest. " This Lavelle was General of the troops of Buenos Ayres in the Banda Oriental during the war with Brazil in 1827 and 1828. He returned to Buenos Ayres at the close of the war with about three thousand men, and had scarcely landed there when he proceeded to make such independent movements as plainly indicated an intention of waing up for himself, which alarmed the Governor, Don Manuel Dorrego, so much, that he made his escape into the interior and claimed the prctection of Roses, who was then Comandante de Campana, or commander of the mounted militia, the wild gauchos, eomposed of buffalo hunters, rough riding shepherds, herdsmen, robbers, and lifters' of every description, who almost live on horseback. These he gathered in sufficient troops in three day's time to meet Lavelle, and give him battle at Navarro, about ten leagues from Buenos Ayres. Here Lavelle was victor —Roses made a timely retreat ; Dorrego was taken prisoner, sentenced to die, and immediately shot by Lavalle's orders, on the 13th of December, 1828. Roses, however, still contrived, by compromise, in trigue, and good generalship, to hold his position in the interior as Comandante de Carnpana, and at length became so strong that he in turn compelled Lavelle to fly to Monte Video, where be has ever since resided, taking part cccasionally in the quarrels of the Banda Oriental, and serving as a rallying point for all the emigrants and exiles from Buenos Ayres, whom he endeavours to combine in support of the Uni tarian' cause, in bitter enmity to Roses. Since the es-ablishment of the blockade ha has (by the aid of French silver) got together a legion of about 3,000 to 4,000 men, and is now acting in conjunction with the blockaders in the province of Entre Rios. He is e brave man and a dashing cavalry officer ; but he has no head for State affairs. The French appear to have great dependence upon his assurances of success, but I have none. However, as he now figures largely in their demonstrations, and makes a great show of patri otic reaction upon paper for them, I will tell you the facts, that you may not be misled by appearances, nor think I indulge a prejudiced view of the matter. " For the List two years, we have been told that all the Buenos Ayreans wanted, to free themselves from the tyranny of Rosas, was a harbour of refuge to fly to, wherein they might fit up an expedition for his de struction. Well, they have (at Monte Video) all the accommodation they could require, in addition to the presence of an exiled General, a sworn enemy of Rosas, at the head of a disposable army for the last twelve months ; and, more important still, the aid of a hos tile armament and foreign friends to carry on the insurrection or revolution, whichever they please to call it. Yet they have not all that time been able to take a single step to put Rosas hers de combat clearly proving that he has still a stronger party of friends than of enemies. In fact, as long as he keeps up his party in the interior provinces, he may laugh at La velle and his transatlanti c allies, unless, indeed, they employ an assassin for their plenipotentiary, which it is said Rosas calculates on, and endeavours to guard against accordingly. The strongest hold of his power is Santa Fe, which is connected with his policy by a very weighty silver link. I resided there for about six months, and saw a good deal of what was going on in connexion with the proceedings of Rosas in Buenos Ayres. It was easy to perceive how the balance of power was adjusted. That province borders on the Gran Chaco—the fron tier of the Northern Indians, the most ferocious and formidable savages in existence. They are all mounted, and such excellent riders that they despise the use of bridles or saddles, and cling Re' one flesh' to their steeds by the aid of their naked, bandy legs. They are armed with immense lone. lances, and come screaming and thun dering like a pamparra or hurricane from their own haunts, hundreds of miles off, over those immense plains to hunt the white people from their boundaries,' drive away sheep and buffaloes, slaughter the men, and carry off the women. They are the most difficult ene mies to subdue or to encounter—are independent of clothes, tents, and even rations. On a foray they will stick together, wild men and horses, like centaurs, almost without food or sleep, and there is no over taking them. When pressed by hunger they will kill a led-horse and eat it raw, and then they are ready for action again. Lopez had constant occupation in keep ing them in check with the Gauchos of Santa Fe. He was a capital Cossack officer (if I may use the term), and kept them from penetrating to the southern pro vinces of La Plata. For this good service Buenos Ayres pays Santa Fe 12,000 dollars per annum, a kind of tribute or black-mail, very well earned by the north erns, and punctually forwarded by Rosas, who knows that no grazing could safely be carried on upon the Pampas within 1,000 miles of those lOdian devils unless his allies were on the alert to follow and cut oti their re treat or retake the plundered herds. On the other hand the camandente of Santa Fe well knows that if Rosas were deposed and Lavelle or the French to get into power, he and his militia might whistle for the 112,000 dollars, for nobody else amongst their revolutionary statesmen has ever shown the firmness and good mina2-,e ment to keep a dollar in the treasury, or to pay it out of Buenos Ayres to those to whom it was due. I just mention this as an illustration of the business-like cha racter of Rosas, and his knowledge of the wants and wishes of the people. He has the art of ,making him self necessary to the great interests of the country, and binding his own up with theirs, so that I really think it will be difficult to shake him from his position, unless the French silver present such weighty reasons to every body that there shall be no resisting it. - However, it is only lately that they began to be lavish 'Of this Argen tine materiel. They are now furnishing _Lavelle with 2,000 doubloons per month. One thing is pretty cer tain—the French will never be able to recover that portion of La Plata."—Morning Post. MONTE VIDEO. Copy of a letter from Monte Video, dated March 24 : The weary blockade continues, and with , it, much loss and suffering both to natives and foreigners,. We do not look for any adjustment for some months. Go vernor Rosas has been re-elected for five yearand is determined to hold out till the last. The new Admiral Dupotet has just arrived from Buenos Ayres, where an arrangement was attempted through the medium of the English Minister, but has utterly failed ; and nothing but fresh hostilities on both sides are contemplated. Tile French, who are not all sufferers by the conti nuance of the blockade, seemed determined to sink the consideration of every interest in pursuit of their pre tensions. In Buenos Ayres there cannot be less than two million sterling of British property locked up; and in Monte Video half as much lying idle, wailing a market in the Argentine republic. The blockade from the first has been utterly inotll cient, imd Governor Roses, beset with enemica, in.his own provinces, has steadily set it at defiance. Barely your Government can no longer remain quiescent spec tators. The French agents here laugh in their sleeves at the way in which they ,ire enabled to humbug, for it is nothing else, their Government at home with false exaggerated accounts of grievances they say French. men have to complain of from Buenos Ayres. Lord Palmerston assured the deputation who waited upon aim from Liverpool last Demnber, that Admiral Dupo ' tet, who arrived here in January direct from France, had full powers from his Government to bring the block ade to an end ; and in conformity with such powers he went to Buenos Ayres ten days ago,when he met the fo reign Minister there on board her Majesty's ship Ac taeon, together with Mr. Mandeville, her Britannic Majesty's Minister, when everything, required by France was conceded, the Admiral immediately returned to Monte Video for the purpose of withdrawing the block ade squadron and giving up to Buenos Ayres' the island of Martin Garcia, when, on a conference with the French agents resident in the city, they peremptorily refused to co-operate with him, alleging they had recently received instructions from their Government " not to treat with Governor Rosas on any terms, and to submit to no other method of settlement abort of one which would turn the worthy Governor out of his situation ;" and thus they have proved Lord Palmerston's assurance of the Admiral's having "full powers" mere moonshine. EXTRAORDINARY FECUNDITY. --One of the most extraordinary instances of fecundity in a human be;i:g, of which the records of scarcely any other country can afford a parallel, occured in this island on Thursday last ; a poor woman, the wife of John Mauger, living at L'Etacq, in the parish of St. Ouen, was delivered on the above day of five children, all of the female sex. It appears that the labour was premature, and is said to have been brought on by ill treatment the woman had received from a man named Hamon a short time ago. We understand that when Mrs. Manger was first taken ill, she sent for a sage femme, who confined her of the two first of the chil dren, but seeing that there were more than two, the midwife became alarmed and called in Dr. Cuquemelle of St. Peter's, who delivered the poor wo man o f t h e t h ree other children. One of them gave signs of life for a few minutes, but the four others were still-born. This singular circumstance, as might be expected, caused quite a sensation as soon as it became known, and crowds of ladies and gentlemen, amongst whom were several of the faculty, in the course of last Friday, visited _Manger's house for the purpose of see ing the children. On Saturday, being market day, they were brought to town, and having been p rev i ous l y put into a suitable eas e and preserved in spirits, were exhibit e d to the public at tt e : Pritish Hotel, at one shilling each person, the proceeds to b e g i e ep to the poor woman, en whose an health has suffered inches each soyerely from her accou ii h wh o has . six chil or unity of seeing the five dre: Weighed I.t:etmr4 l 3 3 eemed to have li e.

THE HIGH IMPERIAL COMMISSIONER'S SE COND LETTER TO THE QUEEN OF ENG LAND. Lin, High Imperial Commissioner, a President of the Board of War, Viceroy of the two Kcang Provinces, &c. Tang, a President of the Board o: War, Viceroy of the two Kwang Provinces, &c. &c. ; and E, a Vice-President of the Board of War, Lieut.-Go vernor of Kwantung, &c. &c. Hereby conjointly address this public deqoatelt to the Queen (a) of England, for the purpose of giving her clear and distinct information (on the state of affairs), &c. &e. (b) It is only our high mighty Emperor, who alike sup ports and cherishes those of the inner land, and those from beyond the seas ; who looks upon all mankind with equal benevolence ; who, if a source of profit exists anywhere diffuses it over the whole world; who, if the tree of evil takes root anywhere, plucks it up for the benefit of all na tions ; who, in a word, hails implanted in his breast that heart (by which beneficent nature herself) governs the heavens and the earth ! You, the Queen of your honourable nation, sit upon a throne occupied through successive generations he pre decessors, all of whom have been styled respectful and obedient. Looking over the public documents (c) accom panying the tribute sent (by your predecessors) on va rious occasions, we find the following.— " All the people of my (that is, the King of England's) country, arriving at the c en t ra l land for purposes of trade, have to feel grateful to the great Emperor for the most perfect justice, lor the kindest treatment," and other words to that effect. Delighted did we feel that the Kings of your honour-_ able nation so clearly understood the great principles of propriety, and were so deeply grate f ul for the heavenly goodness (of our stmperor):—tberefore it was that we of the heavenly dynasty nourished and cherished your peo ple from afar, and bt stowed upon them redoubled proofs of our urban.ty and kindness. It is m rely from these cir cumstances that your country, deriving immense advantage from its commercial intercourse with us, which has endured now two hundred years—bas become the rich and flourish ing kingdom that it is said to be I But, during the commercial intercourse which has existed so long, among the numerous foreign merchants resorting hither, are wheat and tares, good and bad; and of these latter are some who, by means of introducing opium by stealth, have seduced our Chinese people, and caused every province of the land to overflow with that poison ! These then know merely to advantage themselves, they care not about injuring others ! This is a principle which heaven's providence repugnates 1 and which mankind con jointly look upon with abhorrence. Moreover, the great Em peror hearing of it, actually quivered with indignation and especially despatched me, the Commissioner, to Can ton, that, in conjunction with the Viceroy and Lieutenant- Governor of the Province, means might be taken for its suppression ! Every native of the inner land who sells opium, as also all who smoke it, are alike adjudged to death. Were we then to go back :nd rake up the crimes of the foreigners, who, by selling it for many years, have induced dreadful calamity, and robbed us of enormous wealth, and punish them with equal severity, our laws could not but award to them absolute anrihilation ! But, considering that these sad foreigners did yet repent of their crime, and with a sincere heart beg for mercy; that they took 20,283 chests of opium piled up in their store-ships, and thr iugh Elliot, the superintendent of the trade of your said country, petitioned that they might be delivered up to us, when the same were all utterly destroyed, of which we the imperial corn. missioner, and colleagues, made a duly prepared memorial to his Majesty ;_considering these circumstances, we have happily received a: fresh proof of the extraordinary goodness of the great Emperor, inasmuch as he who volurta • ly c imes forward, may yet be deemed a fit subject for mere ) , and Isis crimes be graciously remitted him But as for him who again knowingly violates the laws, d ffieult indeed will it be thus to go on repeatedly pardon ing 1 He or they shall alike be doomed to the penalties of the new statute ! We presume that you, the sovereign of your honourable nation, on pouring out your heart be fc,re the altar of eternal justice, cannot but command all foreigners with the deepest respect to reverence our laws I If we only lay clearly before your eyes what is profitabl e sad what is destructive, you will then know that the statutes of the heavenly dynasty cannot but be obeyed with fear and trembling ! We find that your country is distant from us about 60 or 70,000 miles, (d) that your foreign country ships come hither striving the one with the other for our trade, and for the simple reason of their strong desire to reap a profit: Now, rut of the wealth of our inner land, if we take a part to bestow upon foreigners from afar, it follows, that the immerse wealth which the said foreigners amass, ought, properly speaking, to be the portion of our own native Chinese people. (e) By what principle of reason, then, should these foreigners send in return a poisonous drug, which involves in destruction those very natives of China ? Without meaning to say that the foreigners har bour such destructive intentions in their hearts, we yet positively assert that from their inordinate thirst after gain, they are perfectly careless about the injuries they inflict upon es ! and such being the case, we should like to see what has become of that conscience which heaven has implanted in the breasts of all men. We have heard that in your own country opium is pre- hibited with the utmost strictness and severity : —this is a strong proof that you know full well how hurtful it is to mankind. Since then you do not permit it to injure your own country, you ought not to have the injurious drug transferred to another country, and &hove all others, how • much less to the central land ! Of the products which China exports to your foreign countries, there is not one which is not beneficial to mankind in some sha?e or other. There are those which serve for food, those which are useful, and those which are calculated for resale ; —but all are bene ficial. Has China ever yet sent forth a noxious article from its soil ? not to speak of our tea and rhubarb, things which your foreign countries could not exist a single day without I If we of the central land were to grudge you w hat is be neficial, and not to compassionate your wants, then where withal could you foreigners manage to exist ? And, fur ther, as regards your woollens, camlets, and longells, were it not that you get supplied with our native raw silk, you could not get these manufactured ! If China were to grudge you those things which yield a profit, how could you foreigners scheme after any profit at all ? Our other articles of food, such as sugar, ginger, cinnamon, &c. &c., and our other articles for use such as silk piece goods, China ware, &c, are all so many necessaries of life to you, how can we reckon up their number ! On the other hand, the things that come from your foreign countries are only calculated to make presents of, or serve for mere amusement. It is quite the same to us if we have them, or if we have them not. If, then, these are of no matt rial consequence to us of the inner land, what diffi culty would there be in prohibiting and shutting our market against them ?—it is only that our heavenly dynasty most freely permits you to take off her tea, silk, and other com modities, and convey them for consumption every where without the slightest stint or grudge, for no other reason but that wherever a profit exists, we wish that it be dif fused abroad for the benefit of all the earth ! Your honourable nation takes away the products of our central land, and not only do 3ou thereby obtain food and support for yourselves, but moreover, by reselling these products to other countries, you reap a threefold profit. Now if you would only not sell opium, this threefold profit would be secured to you ; how can you pcssibly consent to forego it for a drug that is hurtful to man, and ass un bridled craving after gain that seems to know no bounds. Let us suppose that foreigners came from another country end brought opium into England and seduced the people of your country to smoke it, would not you, the Soseeeign of the said honourable country, look upon such a procedure with anger, and in your just indignation endeavour to get rid of it? Now we have always heard that your Highness possesses a most kind and benevolent heart ; surely, th,n, you am incapable of doing, or causing to be done, unto another, that which you should net wish another to do unto 300! We have at the same time heard that your ships which come to Canton do each and every of them carry a document granted by your Highness's self, on whirl; are written these words, " you shalt not bo permitted to carry contraband goods ;" (is this the ship's register?) this shuns that the laws of your Highness are in their origin both distinct and severe, and we can only suppose that be cause the ships coming here have been very numerous, due attention has net been given to search and examine; and for this reason it is that we bar/ address ycu this public document, that you may clearly know how stern and ssvere are the laws of the celestial dynasty, aid most certainly you will cause that they be not again rashly violeted ! Moreover, we have heard that in London, the metropo lis where you dwell, as also in Scotland, Ireland, and other 1 such places, no opium whatever is produced. It is only in sundry parts of your subject -kingdom of Hindostan, such as Bengal, Madras, Bombay, Patna, Malwa, Benares, ' Malacca, and other places where the very hills are covered with the opium plant, where tanks are made for the pre paring of the drug ; month by month and year by year the vol ume o f t h e po i son increases, i ts unc l ean stench as ‘caenrydeguodpswtahrderse, thereat t n a t e il t hinigedaveonanittsidf g rows angry, a n d t h e You, the Queen of the said honourable nation, ought immediately to have the plant inn those parts plucked up by the very roots ! Cause the land there to be hoed up afresh, sow in its stead n the five grains, and if any man dare again to plant these grounds a single poppy, visit his crime with the of most Go severe punishment 1 By a truly benevolent system and vernment such as this will you indeed reap advantage t do away with a source of evil!

Most surely do we possess a measure of godlike majesty which ye cannot fathom ! Still we cannot bear to slay, or exterminate without previous warning, and it is for this reason that we now clearly make known to you the fixed laws of our land. If the foreign merchants of your said honourable nation desire to continue their commer- ' eial intercourse, they must tremblingly obey our recorded statutes, they must cut off for ever the source from which the opium flows, and on no account make an expe riment of Our laws in their own persons ! Let then your Highness punish those of your subjects who may be criminal ; do r of endeavour to screen or conceal them, and thus you will secure peace and qu:etness to your posses. sions, thus will you more than ever display a proper sense of respect and obedience, and thus may we unitedly enjoy the common bUssings of PEACE and HAPPINESS ! What greater jay ! what more complete felicity than this Let your Highness immediately upon the receipt of this communication inform us promptly of the stet:: of matters, and of the measures you are put suing utterly to put a stop to the opium evil. Let your reply be speedy 1 Do not on any account make excuses, or procrastinate ! A most important communication. P. S. We annex an abstract of the new law, now about to be put in force. " Any foreigner or foreigners bringing opium to the central land with design to sell the same, the principals shall most assuredly be decapitated, and the accessories strangled ; and all property (found on board same ship) shalt be confiscated. The space of a year and a half is granted, within the which, if any one bringing opium by mistake, shall voluntarily step forward and deliver it up, he shall be absolved from all consequences of his crime." This iinperia edict was received on the 9th day of the 6th moon of the 19th year of Taoukwang, (19th July, 1839), ac whieli the period of grace begins, and runs on to the 9th day of the 12th moon of the 20th year of Taouit wang, (15th January, 1840) when it is completed. The above is a true and correct translation from the original, to the best of my knowledge and belief. Macao, 10th Jan. 1840. R. THOM. (a) In the original Wang, or regulus, implying that our sovereign owes feudal homage to the great emperor. The term Iwuy, to inform an equal, is here used. This means to say that these high officers address our Queen on a footing of equality. (b) The first expression Hunw wei, &c. implies that the people of a superior country are addressing an in ferior country, the reverse is Kung wei, &c. (c) Perhaps the King's letter sent per Lord Macartney or Lord Amherst ? (d) i. e., Chi : mese miler-20 a 23,000 British statute mites. (e) The Coramissioner has not studied Adam Smith. Still we ought not to marvel at the ignorance of a Chinese mandarin in mrAters of trade, which he is taught from his infancy to desyis , ... ; two or three hundred years ago, how far were we chaselces advanced in the science of political economy ? (j) We have been obliged to guess at the names of some of those places. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Globe.) Tory zeal for tliberty is always an object of suspicion. Sir Robert Peel. has not added to l.is reputation for liberality by his conduct at Exeter Hall; nor will his party be reputed the f,iends of the press for their late support Mrs Feargus O'Connor, As that gentle man, on being- b ought up for judgment, . offered - in mitigation affidavits that " he had never tbnctioned physical force," we did not place implicit confidence in his description of the tortures inflicted on him in York Castle. That he was subjected for one day to severer punishment than the law or tilt- Judges intended, is clear; as it is that as soo►, as this was known Lord Normanby instituted an inquiry, and interfered, so far as the law allowed him, to remove the undue severity of such confinement. The Magistrates distinctly deny many of Mr. O'Con nor's facts, and. state that some of the indignities of which he compliains were the result of his own request. When first brought to the gaol he was asked whether lie wished to be, alone, or to have the company of two (Aber prisoners. He chose the latter; and thus the com plaint, that he. was made the " companion of murderers and thieves," answered. The Southern Star says, that "the duties which it is stated were performed by him, were not imposed upon him. He performed them volun tarily ; refusing to be exempt from the tasks performed by those whose fellagv-prisoners he had been made." These sufferings, and tho.te of Messrs. Lovett and Collins, who prefer remaining in Warwick gaol to entering into their own recognizsuces t 9 keep the peace, are very like the persecutions of Jack, in the Tale of a Tub, who used to stand at the corners of streets, and solicit thwacks and kicks, and then she w the marks to his followers, and tell them what he had endured for conscience. (From the Courier.) The necesslty of freeing immigration into the West India Colonies from the trammels by which it is at pre sent injudiciously clogged, becomes more urgent the more the subject is considered. We assume of course that the destruction or abandonment of those Colonies is not contemplateel, and that their preservation and im provement are desirable elements in the general prospe rity of the whole empire. The promotion by every means of the , welfare and advancement of her few Co lonies, is considered by France of such overwhelming importance as to justify the sacrifice of domestic interests of considerablio magnitude when found inconveniently to interfere with, the one great object in view. Thus the im port duties on colonial sugars have been lowered, whilst those on beoL-root sugar at home, in the cultivation of which an enormous mass of capital is invested, and labour employed, have been surcharged with heavy additional im posts, so as to benefit and promote colonial production. Nay more, the question has been seriously entertained in the French Chambers, and by the Ministers themselve s , of suppressing the manufacture of sugar from beet-root altogether, even to the extent of a national indemnifica tion for the loss of those interested in that branch of do mestic industry ; an indemnification necessarily involving an immense pecuniary outlay. If such be the extent of conviction in France regarding the paramount ascendancy due to colonial interests, as so intimately allied with high political as well as industrial considerations, what ought to be their weight in this country, whose colonies arc com paratively ccunticss, and whose colonial population num bers millions where that of France is reckoned by thous ands only ? (From the Standard.) There is no member of the present administration who has escaped public notice so well as the Chancellor. His Lordship owes this immunity, however, altogether to the meanness of his talents, and to the timid caution with which he has slunk back from taking any public part in polities ; certainly not to any merits as a Judge, a Minister, or a Member of the Legislature. As a Judge, Lord Cot tenham does not give satisfaction. Upon this point we may safely appeal to the profession and to the suitors of his Caurt, who complain of him as uniting all that was thought faulty in his predecessors for thirty or forty years, without possessing any of the great qualities by some one of which each in his turn was eminently distinguished. Lord Cotten ham is as deficient in the learning and patie:ice of Lord Eldon as in the energy and boldness of Lord Broug,hain, and it need not be told how far he falls behind Lord Lyndhurst in every qualification for the seals. As many, however, "are accounted wise only for saying nothing," so a judge may for a time be thought sage and impartial only for doing little or nothing ; but this security cancot last very long, and the Chancellor has, we suspect, reached its limits : the arrears in his court are, it is con fessed, no longer to be borne. Her Majesty has, we understand, been pleased to appoint Lady Mount Edgecornbe to be one of her Ladies in Waiting. Her Ladyship is niece to the Marchioness of Lan.sdowne. MARKET IN (From the London New Price Current of June 9.) SCGAR.—There has been no variation in prices of British Plantation Sugar since last Tuesday ; from the grccers there has been a good demand for all descriptions, and the refiners have been buyers to a fair extent ; the purchases fur the three market days have amounted to 1350 hhds and tierces at full prices, and on Fi iday some of the merchants were not disposed to sell thereat, in conse quence of the accounts from the West Indies still reprc smtin,g that there would be a 1 . 01 off to some extent in the import this sear, this, together with the scanty stocks held uy the dealers everywhere, causes many of the merchants to be very firm in their pretensions ; of low dry brown Sugar none has been sold under 653 Gd.

Russ, BRANDY AND 11OLLANDS— The demand for West India Rum has been limited from the HoMe Trade, they buying only sufficient for their immediate wants, and for export there are few orders, prices have given way Old to ld for common sorts of Jamaica as well as Leewards ; but good qualities have maintained former rates, and choice marks are rather scarce.

The stock of rice continues heavy, being much greater than last year at this time, and several parcels are daily ex pected. Carolina has sold well to the home trade at 34s to 36s per cwt. TEA:—The accounts received from China last week, stating that the Chinese had purchased some European vessels, bad seized others with the intention to man and arm them against our fleet, and had taken means that no intermediate trade should be carried on with the English, produced much life in the market here for Tea; buyers were much more desirous to do business, and holders de manded advanced rates. In Company's Congou a large business was crone in cash parcels, particularly towards the close of the week, and prices advanced to 2s 4d to 2s 4id, at the latter figure one parcel of 2,000 che,ts was sold. For Free Trade there was an active demand; capitalists as well as consumers were free buyers, and prices improved; Common Congou for cash sold currently at 2s 4d, Twankay 2s 32d to 2s 4d, and cc veral parcels of good Hyson were disposed of at 2s 83 per lie the transactions were chiefly confined to parcels fur money. The deliveries are on the increase, and last week amounted to 306,0001b5, The stocks held by the dealers are getting into a small compass. The Alexander Baring is tire only ship at present advertised for China for the chance of next season's crop. Yesterday accounts were received from Canton to tha 75th March, by express from Paris, stating that the Chinese had attempted to burn the English shipping —at Totigkoo, but had failed : the Emperor bad ordered the suspension of all Trade with Foreigners, and had given Lin discretionary power ; but with respect to the stopping of the Trade wi.h all nations, the Chinese talk of renew ing the same upon certain conditions. The British forces had embarked from Madras on the 16;h April. 4,The effect of the above was, contrary to general expect ation, to cause speculation in Company's Congou to be less desirous to do business ; but few purchases were made, and prices declined on 'Change yesterday to 2s 3d for cash, and 2s 3id to 2s 4d for prompts. For Free Trade thre has been less demand, but the rates established last week have been supported The accounts being rather vague, is to be ascribed to the falling off in the demand, buyers generally being disposed to wait until the merchant's letters are re ceived, as by that means the real state of how the shipping is placed will be then known, and which is the principal thing the trade are anxious to get at ; some part of the accounts come to hand last week, are not confirmed by the express of yesterday. To-day only a limited demand existed for Free Trade Tea, and prices are somewhat lower, the merchants letters from China not having yet been delivered, tends to make the market quiet, and the bu iness doing is exclusively for cash • common Congou is sellin g a t 2 s . '2d. G oo d blackish leaf descriptions at 2s 3d to 2s sd, and Twankay at 26 3d for common, and good at 2s 4d per lb. For Company's Congou few buyers, and prices have fallen to 2s 14d to 2s 2d, cash. Quantity of Tea shipped for England from Hong Kong and Tonghoo since the Ist July, 1839 :-4,643,6091bs Congcu ; 21,042 Caper; 61,174 Souchong ; 66,900 Pekoe; 271,623 Orange Pekoe; 282,400 Hy son; 45,778 Young Hyson ; 38,700 Hyson Skin ; 1,222,907 Twankay ; 138,809 Gunpowder; and 60,000 lbs Imperial.

This afternoon the market for Free Trade was very quiet, there being a doubt entertained as to whether the Chinese had actually stopped the trade with all nations, caused buyers of Tea to operate with caution. Common Congou for cash, left off at 23 11(1, Twankay 2s 2id per lb:. and the price of Company's Congou on 'Change was 2s 11c1 money, but with few buyers. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.)
