TO CORRESPONDENTS. We know nothinz of Father Nlathew's proceedinzs in this town beyond what we have seen in the radical papers. Without implying our concurrence with the sentiments of " A Churchman" on the subject of temperance so cieties, we confess we cannot view their formation at the present moment without apprehension. It is said that 8,000 teetotallers received the pledge at the hands of Father Mathew—to each of these persons a medal was presented by the reverend gentleman on payment of a shilling ; this would yield the enormous sum of four hundred pounds, and we apprehend the 8,000 medals could readily be purchased for less than twenty pounds. In what channel does the balance flow ? We have not received the 'Worcester Journal, or Ed dotter' Journal for several weeks. Ztherpooi &tanDarii. TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 25, 1843. " Had the rate of mortality in Liverpool been thus reduced to that in Birmingham, nearly 40,00 - ) lives would have been saved in the parish of Liver pool during the interval which has elapsed since these recommendations were offered to the notice of the Common Council (in 1802). Could the rate of mortality Now be reduced to that of Birmingham, 1250 lives would be ANNUALLY saved"! In this closing sentence of Dr. Duncan's able pamphlet is our ample excuse for returning to the subject which we agitated in our last publication ; viz. the adoption, at once, of some sweeping and copious measures for the improvement of the sani tory condition of our town. Twelve hundred and fifty perishing human beings annually warn us, by their premature deaths, to put forth our energies to stay that pestilence which is generated so fearfully in our streets. We cannot look on with folded hands ; we cannot stand by and calmly contemplate the progress of this awful mortality. We can no longer delegate our duty, with respect to it, to the Council, or to any body, public or private. It is the affair of the community; and to the community we now address ourselves upon the subject of the remedy or remedies to be adopted. We have already referred to the importance of the formation of spacious thoroughfares through the crowded parts of the town ; and we now turn to the consideration of another remedial course, viz. the better sewering of the whole town. Within the past twelve years, under the existing sewerage act, considerable progress has been made in this impor tant branch of sanitory regulation. Dr. Duncan states it as his conclusion, arrived at by examination of a recent map published by the Commissioners of Sewers, that of the 57 miles of inhabited streets within the parish of Liverpool, 25 are either wholly or partially severed. There are therefore 32 miles of streets or courts for which no underground drainage is prepared, and the state of which must, in conse quence, be extremely offensive and unhealthy. Of these the bulk, of course, will be the narrow and confined localities inhabited by the working poor; for of the sewering which has been already com pleted, we find that only four miles consist of streets inh :bited by the working classes, whilst 21L- miles are in the spacious and airy parts of the town inha bited by the middle and superior classes. The cause of this is sufficiently obvious. The outlines of a complete system must first be formed. The main arteries of underground communication must be laid down, before the branches can be at all at tempted. Hence our wide streets are already severed, whilst the densely-packed localities adja cent have yet to be acted upon. In many cases, too, it has been found impracticable to drain, from the want of such spacious severed thoroughfares as those whose formation we have advocated, and with which the adjacent streets and courts could be made to communicate. We know not what may be the precise extent of the powers, or the means at the disposal of the Commissioners of Sewers, to r pair the existing de ficiency. We greatly suspect, however, that they are not large—that they are not equal to the emer gency in which we are placed; for in no other way can we account for, much less justify, the very in complete condition of the drainage of the town. There is no subject upon which the opinion of com petent parties has been more strongly expressed than upon the importance, as conducive to health, of proper severing ; and if the rate, allowed by the existing act to be le ied for the purpos , will only permit its accomplishment by a gradual progress which, it is evident, must be years before it overtakes the growing evil, our conviction is decided that in creased powers ought forthwith to be sought, either in the shape of an authority to anticipate the rate by mortgage, as in the case of the " Watering Bill" of the present session, or by some aid from the Corporate Estate. An effort must be made, and promptly made ; and there is scarcely any direction in which it could be more advantageously made than in this. There are no doubt many auxiliary measures of 1 police and sanitorial regulation, by which the health of the entire town might he materially improved. By the powers vested in the Health Committee of the Town Council much may be achieved, and we trust will be achieved. We hope to be assured of a thorough reformation of those dens of infamy and filth—the common lodging-houses—which exist, and constitute fertile sources of disease and crime, throughout the town. A more comprehensive sys tem of scavenging and cleansing the streets inha bited by the lower classes of our population must be adopted ; and attention must be directed to an evil which has hitherto escaped that prominent notice which it demands, as a fertile originator of disease—viz., the state and locality of the schools frequented by the children of our poor. The fol lowing passage on this particular subject, from Dr. Duncan's pamphlet, presents a picture which we believe few indeed pf our readers could have be. lieved was to be witnessed in the town of Liver- pool : "Mr. Riddall Wood, who spent some time in Liver pool, about seven years ago, in investigating the state of education in the bo r o ug h, eound that there were, at that time, 24 1 dame schools with 5210 scholars, and 194 corn mon day schools with 6096 scholars. In his Report to the Manchester Statistical Society, he says, the condi tion of most of the schools i n an ex t ens i v e an d populous district, stretching upwards from the North Shore to Scotland-road, is wretched in the extreme, corresponding in a remarkable manner with that of the population. With few exceptions the dame schools are dark and con fined ; many are damp and dirty ; more than one-half of them are used as dwelling, dormitory, and school-room, accommodating, in many cases, a family of seven or eight persons ; above 40 of them are cellars." Of the common day schools in the poorer districts,' he states in another part of his Report,) ' it is difficult to convey an adequate idea; so close and offensive is the atmosphere in many of them as to be intolerable to a person entering from the open air, more especially as the hour of quitting school approaches. The dimensions of the schools rarely exceed those of the dame schools, while frequently the number of scholars is more than double. Bad as this is, it is much aggravated by filth and offensive odour arising from other causes.' [' See Report of a Committee of the Man chester Statistical Society, on the State of Education in the Borough of Liverpool, in 1835-3G.'] Mr. Wood states that the masters and mistresses are generally ig norant of the depressing and unhealthy effects of the at mosphere which surrounds them , and he mentions the case of the mistress of a dame school who replied, when he pointed this out to her, that the children thrived best in dirt.' He notices particularly a school in a garret up three pair of dark, broken stairs, with forty children in the compass of 10 feet by 9 ; and where, ' on a perch forming a triangle with the corner of the room, sat a cock and two hens; under a stump bed immediately beneath was a dog-kennel, in the occupation of three black ter riers, whose barking, added to the noise of the children and the cackling of fowls on the approach of a stranger, was almost deafening. There was only one small window, at which o b s t ruct i ng sat the maste r , three-fourths of the light it was capabl e o f admitting.' In Manchester, so far as I can judge from the Rep or t o f th e Committee of the Statistical Society, the schools for the .working-classes, especially the day schools, are somewhat better than those in Liverpool, although the day schools are described as being ' deplorably bad.' ' Neither in Manchester nor Liverpool was there a common day or dame school, where there was a play-ground, where the children could get the change necessary for young persona.' (2231.) In Bir mingham, Mr. Wood stated to the Committee on the Health of Towns that, taken as a whole, the state of the dame schools was much better than in Liverpool and Man chester.' They were " small rooms, but generally on the ground floor, and not, as in Liverpool and Manchester, frequently in cellars or garrets.' The most efficacious remedies, however, for the existing evil, we are confident are to be found in the measures to which we have chiefly addressed our selves—viz. ventilation of our most unhealthy loca lities, by the formation of spacious thoroughfares, and a thorough and complete sewerage of the town. Without these, all other measures are mere tin kering—mere trifling with the vast difficulty to be subdued. We have again to draw attention to the highly indecent and improper spirit in which the duties of the gentlemen—or some of them—who fill the office of " visitors " of the 'Workhouse schools, are per formed; and, whilst doing so, we cannot but express our regret at the unfortunate selection, by the Select Vestry, of the parties to whom this office is con fided, There were, surely, amongst that body, gentlemen who could have watched the course of instruction pursued in these schools, in a spirit less offensively impertinent towards the officials engaged in them than that displayed by Mr. Urquhart. There were gentlemen quite as fitted by their acquire ments and their principles to give an opinion upon an educational system as this individual. There were gentlemen who would have used his office for a more worthy purpose than that of pandering to the appetites of an anti-church, and, indeed, popish, newspaper; and a colleague, or colleagues, who would not have permited themselves to be dragged at his heels in a crusade for the re-establishment, in the schools in question, of that infidel system of edu cation which we have, happily, got rid of in the schools of the corporation, and which is evidently the pet system of Mr. Urquhart. Upon these grounds, we deeply regret—and so must the Select 'Vestry—that such a duty as that of "visitor" should have been placed in such hands. We pass over for the present, because they are evidently given in a garbled, and, we fear, an unfair manner, the details of the conversation which took place at the Workhouse on Tuesday last, on the subject of the schools ; and which was, of course, furbished up for the Mercury by Mr. Urquhart, or some other of his " liberal" colleagues. We pass over, for tly: present, any discussion of the question whether " the Protestant Catechism"—one of those Catechisms which are supplied and taught to the children of Church of England parents, and to them alone—is a most "unbecoming book," or whether Mr. Urquhart is a judge of what is becoming or un becoming to be taught to the children of such parents. Mr. Urquhart is, we believe, not a member of the Church of England; and we would, therefore, much rather place confidence in the opinion, or practice ; of the Chaplain of the Workhouse than in his. We are told indeed, in his exparte and highly coloured report, that the Catechism in question was discountenanced by Mr. Rector Brooks ; hut we have to set against this statement the fact that it has, until detected by this searching and judicious " visitor," been used for some years in the school, without any authoritative declaration against its propriety. We proceed, therefore, to the report, as signed by the visitors Messrs. Urquhart, Molyneux, and Henderson, and which is as follows : " We refer the Poor Law Commissioners to our obser vations of the 17th June, and the 3rd July instant, on the state of the schools and other matters connected with the Workhouse ; and we are sorry to find that no steps have been taken to improve the training of the children, nor the adopt.on or any of the suggestions therein made, ex cept the surgeon removing the sick from Low-hill school." Splendid grammar this passage! " When we consider the past and the present condition of the human beings brought up in this Workhouse, and the heavy expense to the parish in building an industrial school, we consider it imperative that no time shonld be lost in adopting a system of moral, physical, and had. lectual training, as a preventive of vice and crime,—an elevation of character to usefulness and virtue, and a saving to the parish." Grammar almost equally splendid! Now, what was the substance of those reports, to which the visitors here refer the poor law commis sioners. We have them not at present before us ; but we remember they alleged something like in competence in the masters—or rather the master and his " two ignorant paupers;" ignorance in the children ; the want of "moral training," &c. But have those statements been proved to be true? The " ignorant paupers," at least, have vindicated them selves from the charge of incapacity, to the satisfac tion of most men. We would place their acquire ments any day in the scale against those of Mr. Urq uhart himself; and especially we would do so, in gram matical acquirements! They are " paupers ;" and this is "the head and front of their offending"—the reason why "liberal" charity looks down from its eminence and despises and slanders them ! An examination of the children, in the presence of a great portion of the select vestry—which Mr. Urquhart and his co visitors did not attend—has proved that neither were they ignorant nor their teachers incompetent or neglectful. The repetition of the wholesale charges against the school management and its effects, by the visitors, is, therefore, almost as great a violation of propriety as can be imagined. But it is insisted upon that "no time should be lost in adopting a system of moral, physical, (!) and intellectual training,"—Scotch moral philosophy, gymnastics, and logic or mathematics, we presume ! These poor children are only taught the precepts inculcated in their Bible, and the doctrines of their church; they have no " moral, physical, and intel lectual training." Pray, what are Mr. Urquhart's notions of moral training ? What new and happy system of morals does he possess, which is not to be found in the Ten Commandments and the New Testament ? In the " physical " training of little workhouse lads, would he substitute calisthenics for taw and handball ? " Intellectual training," too ! We suppose such would be a short cut—by way of the Penny Magazine, or Dr. Lardner's Cyclopedia— to universal knowledge ; and this short cut "as a prevention of vice and crime—an elevation of cha racter to usefulness (!) and virtue,—and—a saving to the parish !" Alas ! when men wade beyond their depth, what awful foundering and beating of air and water do we see I But these poor children have their acquisition of useful knowledge, their " moral, physical, and in tellectual training," impeded by four catechisms ; one of them the obnoxious " Protestant catechism" complained of. We may briefly explain away this grievance—this great waste of time and training ! The first catechism is Dr. Watts' Catechism for Children ; the second is the Church of England Catechism; the third "an Explanation of the Church of England Catechism ;" and the fourth " the Pro testant Catechism." These books are placed before Church of England, or Protestant, children alone, and at the hours when Roman Catholic children are withdrawn by their priest to he instructed in the doctrines of their religion. That class of children, too, have no less than four catechisms, in which, generally speaking, they are thoroughly drilled. Yet Mr. Urquhart makes no objection to the waste of time in the education of the Popish children. Their thorough training in a belief of the doctrines of real presence and sacramental confession, is of course perfectly proper and liberal; but the instruction of Protestant children in the doctrines of the Holy Scriptures is a practice to be reprehended with all the vehemence of " Liberal " reprehension ! A word, in conclusion, with respect to this Pro testant catechism, which we have carefully gone through. We must confess that it is not, in all respects, a compilation which we admire; but we must also acknowledge that it appears to us almost necessary under the circumstances in which these poor Protestant children are placed, and when viewed by the side of the manuals of Popery in which the Romish children, with so many of whom they are brought into contact, are sedulously drilled. It is an evil, perhaps, that controversial subjects should be introduced at all amongst mere children ; but the greater evil is the necessity—the cons' ant contact with the insidious teaching of Rome—which re quires it as a protection from error. EDITORIAL CREDULITY.-1S this the 19th cen tury? Our almanack tells us that it is; and yet, with the following paragraph before us, in the Liverpool Times of Tuesday last, we might almost doubt that we lived in any other than the dark ages. Superstition, in an ignorant peasant located in the heart of an Irish hog, is natural enough ; but that anything so gross as is here shewn could have existed in Liverpool, or that a journalist could have been found in any corner of England to record it, and place faith in it, is what we really could not have believed to be possible. Here it is, for the !‘ liberalism" of Liverpool to contemplate! FATIIER MATHEW A MIRACLE-WORKER.--Many persons will willingly admit that the moral revolution which Father Mathew has wrought in Ireland is, from its cha racter and magnitude, more entitled to the appellation of a miracle than many other things which have been dubbed with the title. Until yesterday, however, we never heard that the wonder-working " apostle of temperance" was gifted with really miraculous powers. Whilst the admi nistration of the pledge was going on in the grounds of St. Anthony's Chapel, it was confidently rumoured that the respected Father had in the morning restored to a child, about 14 years of age, the use of its limbs, of which it had been deprived for several months. The mother of the boy (so the story went) brought it in her arms to Fa ther Mathew, who, after having inquired into the nature of its ailments, made upon it the sign of the cross, and re peated a few words, whereupon its limbs suddenly acquired their long-lost vigour, and the boy actually walked home ! This story might have been looked upon as the clumsy invention of some superstitious and ardent admirer of the Father, anxious to add to his well-earned renown, and as such it might have been smiled at, had it obtained cre dence only amongst the poor and uneducated ; but it was actually repeated as indubitably true by persons in the middle class of life ; and one individual, who ought not easily to be deceived and much less lend himself to a de ceit, declared that he himself was a witness of the per formance of the miracle. .0" We dare say, after this, that " persons in the mid dle class of life," (l) individuals who " ought not easily to be deceived," and a journalist ready to gulp down any cock-and-bull story which comes in his way, will be found, some of these days, to assure us that the miraculous father has walked on the sea, converted water into wine, or that his head is encircled with a crown of glory; in which latter case we hope, for the credit of the imposture, that there will be no prying heretic present to suggest to the gaping worshippers of the miracle-worker, that " 'Tis only the sunshine reflected, I judge, From that big pail of water behind Father Fudge." By the way, will the Times inform us who is this " one individual who ought not easily to be de ceived," and who witnessed this miracle. His phrenological developments would be a curious sub ject of investigation. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD b u - ) 2 STATE AND PROSPECTS OF OUR COMMERCE WITH BRITISH INDIA. The Foreign and Colonial Quarterly Review„ in an article " on the commerce and prospects of the British Empire in India," furnishes us with some statistical and practical details which, at the present crisis of our coin. mercial affairs, are of infinite importance. We have, again and again, in the columns of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD, pointed attention to the efforts making by the advocates of ultra free trade, to cut asunder the ties —protecting and discriminating duties—which bind our noble colonial possessions to the mother country ;—to exchange the secure and remuneratinc , markets which they afford to our manufacturers and merchants for a scrambling competition with the foreigner in the markets of the world. Our opinion has ever been that a far wiser policy would be that which should direct and devote the energies of Great Britain to the task of developing the resources of those colonial possessions. We have main tained that in these possessions, exhaustless alike in their productive powers and in their ability to consume the productions of Great Britain ; highly capable of civiliza tion, and certain, as their civilization progresses, to in crease largely the adoption by their vast population of the habits, and the use of the products, of civilized nations ; we possess a field for the operation of British industry, ingenuity, and capital, which ought to render us indepen dent of the commerce of the world besides, and to place far removed from us the necessity, said to exist, of pur chasing that commerce by concessions, whose declare effects are the discouragement of the agriculture of our country, and the reduction of the position of the indus trial portion of its population, to, at least an approach to, the miserable position occupied by the labourers of most other nations. These have ever been our distinctly avowed opinions ; and in the article referred to we have ttatistical data which place their truth and justice beyond he possibility of dispute. Turning to the East alone we find that— " In 1832, the extent of territory in India under the British Government was 553,000 square miles, the popu lation of which was 83,000,000. " At the same period the extent of territory in India under the British Governmena, and including the allies and tributaries to Great Britain, was 1,280,000 square miles, the population of which was 134,000,000. " At the same period, India beyond the Ganges ex tended to 77,000 square miles, the population of which was 301,000. " The total imports from India to Great Britain, east ward of the Cape and excluding China, in 1832, were £6,337,098. " The total exports from Great Britain to India at the same date, were £3,750,286. , " Both the population and the trade of India have very considerably increased during the last ten years. And to territory we have now to add the extensive region of Scinde. " Taking into account its situation, and the great veriety and value of its productions and manufactures, there is perhaps no part of the world better adapted for engaging in extensive and profitable trade than British India. It comprises 250,000 square miles, of the richest and most fertile portions of the globe, with at least an equal extent of productive soil in the tropical and tem perate zones. The sea coast extends 1,500 miles, and possesses various excellent harbours, while the country is intersected with the magnificent rivers, Ganges, Burram pooter, and Indus. This vast empire is surrounded by the extensive and fertile countries of China, Birmah, Siam, Persia, Arabia, and the Eastern Archipelago. " The amount of maratime trade connected with British India has baen recently estimated as follows : Total exports of merchandize and treasures from Bengal, Madras, and Bombay, to Great Britain, Continential Europe, North and South America, annually £12000,000 Total imports to ditt o f rom di t t o, annual , average.... Maratime trade of India with China, Bir mah, Siam, Eastern Islands, Persia, Arabia, Australasia, &c., annual average 4,000,000 Ditto of Singapore and China 6,000,000 Total annual trade " Large as this total value of the annual trade of Bri tish India, appears to be, the trade with England is com paratively still in its infancy. The consumption of the manufactures of England does not amount to sixpence per head of the population, while in the West India colonies the consumption of onr manufactures among the negroes amounts to five pounds sterling per head ; and among the colonists of Australia, to £l5 sterling per head. The whole amount of our manufactures exported to India does not at present exceed £5,000,000, while it has been calculated, that, if each inhabitant of British India used annually a single turban or gown of Manchester manu fecture, there would be an annual export of cotton goods rlone, exceeding £50,000,000 sterling. In our Asiatic dominions, a large amount of woollens, silks, pottery, glass, plated wares, cutlery, iron, brass, and copper im plements, and a variety of articles for domestic use, would find a profitable and ready market, and could be easily paid for in the different articles of production formerly enumerated, and which are so largely consumed in Bri tain. In the article of sugar, it is calculated that the valley of the Ganges alone would produce a sufficient supply for the whole world. One half of the quantity now consumed in the United Kingdom is obtained from British India. " From the great extent and fertility of British India it must be clear, that a much more extensive and valuable trade could be conducted between England and the East, than now exists, nr than is, pPrhaps, imagined by a large class of our inhabitants. At present we import from British India annually 6,000,000 lbs. of Indigo, valued at £2,000,000. " Cotton wool, annually increasing in quantity. Sheep's wool, about 3,000,000 lbs. weight. Pepper, 5,000,000 lbs. " Rice, exported f rom C a l cutta a l one, 20,000 tons. Wheat, a rapidly increasing trade ; the cargoes that have arrived have been valued at 608. to 645. per quarter. Untanned hid es , upwar d s of 50,000 cwt. Linseed, 200,000 bushels. " Castor oil, upwards of 1,000,000 ;19s. weight. Other articles, such as coffee, rum, saltpetre, silk, tea, dyes, drugs, timber, &c., it is unnecessary to specify. " Sugar, one half of the present consumption of the United Kingdom. " In all these articles a greatly increased consumption could be effected in Great Britain, and a corresponding increase made in the exports of our various manufactures. We now pay Russia annually upwards of 5,000,000 ster ling, chiefly in the precious mails for the following ar ticles, which can b e supp li e d from ' British India : Tallow, 51,938 tons, at £4O Flax, 54,478 .. 40 Hemp, 29,059 .. 35 X 5,273,705 " The whole amount of British manufactures, exported from the United Ki ng d om to all parts of the world, is about £50,000,000 ster li ng, anndally. If the population of our territories in the East were enabled to consume only one tenth of the quantity consumed by our negro subjects in the West Indies, there would, it is presumed, be an annual export trade of £72,000,000 sterling, added to the present total exports of £50,000,000. " According to the calculation made in 1839, the follow ing would be the amount of our exports to one hundred million British subjects in India, if they consumed in pro portion to the undermentioned countries : NIONTE VIDEO. Private letters have been received from Buenos Ayres to the 13th May, and from Monte Video to the 17th May, at which time an opinion prevailed, at the latter place, that Rosas's army was suffering greatly from sickness, and that it would ere long be compelled to retreat (should this be practicable) from before Monte Video, while the public journals confidently predict the utter destruction of that army.. . _ The revolution in Corrientes against the authority of Rosas is confirmed, and the interior provinces of La Plata are represented to be in a very disturbed state. Subsequent to the attack made on that island, as an nounced in our last publication, a correspondence took place between Commodore Purves and the commander of the Buenos Ayres vessels, which ended in the placing of Rat Island, as also of the fort on the Mount, in the pos session of the British. We also observe that a notice had been sent to the Bri tish consul at Monte Video, by the commander of the Buenos Ayrean army, to the effect, that foreigners taking part with, or using their influence in favour of, the Monte Videan government, would (upon his taking the city) be treated as rebels and savages, which terms, we are in formed, signify that such individuals should he given up to the bloody vengeance of the Buenos Ayrean army, who, it is very probable, would gratify their cruel propensities by cutting out their tongues, cutting off their ears, and, finally, by cutting their throats with the knife. But, to give our readers a correct knowledge of the opinion enter tained of the cruel character of this notice, we subjoin a copy of Commodore Purvis's letter to General Oribe, the commander of Rosas's army : " Her Britannic Majesty's Ship Alfred Off Montevideo.—April 9th, 1813. "To Brigadier General DON AIANI:EL ORIBE : " Commanding the Vanguard of the army of the Argentine Republic. " Sir,—Her Majesty's Pro Consul General in the city of Montevideo has forwarded to me a copy of a circular bearing your signature under date of the Ist instant and addressed to him, in which you declare that you will not respect as foreigners those subjects of other nations who may use their influence in favor of or take part with per sons designated by you as Rebel Savage Unitarians against the cause which you and the forces which obey you main tain, but that on the contrary, they shall in such case be considered also as Rebel Savage Unitarians and treated without any consideration whatever. The violence displayed in this most extraordinary do cument, the policy, wisdom, or expediency of which must be as to its results for the consideration of the Buenos Ayrean Government, the cruelty of the threat which it contains and the language in which it is conched is such as in my opinion would disgrace even the petty states of Barbary, whilst the extreme penalties assigned to those who may fall under the accusation of so undefinable an offence as that of using influence in favour of a political party, are unfounded on any principle of justice, or the rights of a lawful belligerent, but are rather corroborative of the spirit of atrocity and cruelty in which this war has been carried on and which has already drawn to it the attention and the reproaches of the whole world. A proper consideration therefore for the lives and in. terests of the subjects of Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, to which it is imperative on me to extend all due protection in cases of danger, obliges me to declare, that until I am furnished with a sufficient gaurantee that those threats will in no case whatever be carried into execution, and until I am satisfactorily assured that British life and property will in no wise be endangered, I shall not consent to allow the prosecution of any hostilities by which the security of British subjects re siding in the city of Montevideo may be affected. " I have the honour to be Sir, " Your most obedient humble servant. (signed) " J. B. PURVIS, Commodore, in com mand of Her Majesty's Ships and vessels employed on the E as t ern Coast of South America." We are not aware with what objects the forts on the Mount and Rat Island had been given up to the British; but should conclude, from the above letter, as a security against the atrocities threatened by General Oribe ; and now that he has divulged the horrible character of the war he is prosecuting, that even' innocent merchants and others are denounced as fit objects of vengeance, we hope that our government will take measures to put an end to this war, involving, as it does, a most ruinous expenditure to Buenos Ayres, which must for years put it out of their power to pay the current interest on the British loan, saying nothing about the seventeen years of interest now in arrears, an enormous loss in debt to our merchants at Monte Video, and the ruin of our trade to that place. SPAIN. Advices from Madrid have been received to the 16th inst. Narvaez arrived on the 15th before Madrid. The municipality replied on the lith to his summons, that Madrid would remain neutral, but would not open its gates until the termination of the struggle. The national guards are under arms. Yesterday a slight engagement took place ; a captain and two national guards were kill e d. There is great agitation in Madrid. EGREMONT HOTEL AND FERRY,-It will he seen in an advertisement which appears in another column, that both these concerns have now passed into the hands of the respected landlady of the Egremont Hotel, Mrs. Sharpies ; and, as in every case it has been found that such an arrangement has conduced to the convenience of the Public, we have no doubt that, in this particular case, it will be found to have especially done so, an d t h at not only the casual visitors of this delightful part of Cheshire, but the inhabitants as well, will profit by the change. ROYAL AMPHITH EATRE.—During the past week and yesterday evening, several novel and attractive pieces have been produced at this theatre, and we are happy to an nounce that the audiences have been numerically more important than heretofore. This evening Mrs. T. Car man takes her benefit. The pieces selected for the occa. sion arc from her own pen--and from the celebrity she has already gained as an authoress, we fervently Lope this appeal will be a successful one. .....s.l \ 0 . 1 .„ . , I.gi L" = O C.,) C , Crs CC C . , p 4 t•O c•e• CO , C, co ep .a. : : -c • o . . . ,--, • .--' • • -g Key : •'g : r 7, • t c • • `;' 3 .= Fs It may be alleged , that for an y very extens i ve increas in the producing or consuming powers of India, we must wait the gradual developement of her resources ; and that the position of Great Britain, embarked as she is in an extensive manufacturing system which cannot, if even it was desirable, be checked without danger to her internal tranquility, she cannot wait;—she must at once plunge into that wild career of change, in her inter-national and inter-colonial arrangements, which are fabled to produce, at once, such an increase of her commercial activity as will give employment to her population. Such a neces sity, if it did not exist to the extent which is alleged, it would certainly be necessary for a wise government to meet. But does it exist—can it be proved to exist to the extent alleged ? Or is it certain that, in the destruction of our colonial interests, which is openly sought by philo sophers of the Cobden and Hume class, and in that race of competition sought by ultra free-traders, are the prompt and efficacious remedies by which it is to be met? We say, not at random or in a spirit unworthy of so import ant a matter, " No !" We say that the development of the resources of India is to be found a more prompt and efficacious, and what is above all, a more enduring re medy, than any ultra system of free-trade can furnish us withal. Let us examine the progress thus far of our com merce with India, as described in the valuable paper from which we have above quoted : " During the five years ending with 1811, the total amount of exports by British subjects to India, did not exceed £2,000,000: and of these, it is remarked by Mr. ' a very considerable portion cons of military stores. The legitimate trade with India and its 100,000,000 of inhabitants was really, therefore, of hardly more importance than that with Jersey and the Isle of Man.' " Since the abolition of the monopoly of the East India Company, the trade has increased very considerably. There can be no comparison between the advantages of a trade opened to general competition, and one that is con fined exclusively to one large company. In the Report of the Committee of the House of Lords, on the foreign trade of the country, printed in May, 1821, it is stated, the greatly increased consumption of British goods in the East since the commencement of the free trade, can not be accounted for by the demand of European resi dents, the number of whom does not materially vary ; and it appears to have been much the greatest in articles calculated for the general use of the natives. That of the cotton manufactures alone is stated, since the first open ing of the trade, to have been augmented from four to five fold (it is now augmented from fifty to sixty fold). The valke of the merchandise exported from Great Britain to India, which amounted in 1814 to £870,177, amounted in 1819 to £3,052,741 ; and although the market appears then to have been so far overstocked as to occasion a di minution of nearly one half in the exports of the follow • ing year, that diminution appears to have taken place i❑ more in all articles intended for the consumption to Europeans than of natives, and the trade is now stated to the committee by the best informed persons to be re viving.' _ _ " By the Act 3 and 4 Will. IV. c. 85, for continuing the Charter of the East India Company until 1854, it was enacted that the Company's trade should cease on the 22d of April, 1834 ; and that the Company should, as soon after that period as possibls, dispose of their stocks on hand, and close their commercial business. The Com pany's commercial character has therefore been at an end since the 22d of April, 1834. Since that period the trade to British India, China, and the East generally, has been open to free and unrestricted mercantile enterprise, and is destined to attain an extent and magnitude of which at present no definite idea can be formed. The trade in cot ton alone, which in 1814 amounted only to about £llO,OOO, amounted in 1835 to no less a sum than £1,801,775." Up to the year 1835, then, we had progressed in the value of our relations with India to an unparalleled extent ; and if since that period our commerce with that country has been marked with vicissitude and not a little disaster, the cause—an ample one—is to be found in her financial weakness. We withdrew the powers of the East India Company before we had prepared India for the change. We threw the immense monetary transactions hitherto regulated. imperiously enough, by that powerful company, into the hands of private traders; and the result was a series of disasters which must for a time have paralysed the energies of the East Indian or any other commercial community. According to the Calcutta Monthly Journal of February, 1838, the defalcations of six of the houses conducting the monetary affairs between Calcutta and Europe, stood as follows : Palmer and Co.'s defalcation . Alexander and Co. Macintosh and Co. .. Ferguson and Co. Colvin and Co. Cruttenden and Co 1,350,000 X 14,330,000 Such an amount of loss, inflicted upon the traders and natives of the East Indian community, must have been productive of serious inconvenience and suffering; and, with the course of aggression pursued by the late govern ment of India, and consequent additional drain for money which took place, is quite sufficient to account for the temporary stoppage which occurred in the progressive developement of the resources of the country. This arrest of the onward course of India is now, we trust and believe, at an end. With a pacific policy on the part of its government, and the devotion of its energies and those of the British nation to the improvement of the condition of the Indian people, we shall have ere long in that country the most valuable customer of Great Britain —the most fertile producing country on the globe! The most important desideratum of India is a sound banking system, by which her cultivation can be carried on with out the payment of those exorbitant rates of interest for the capital necessary, which has hitherto depressed the condition of her agriculture. This desideratum is being successfully furnished. By the formation of joint stock banks in all her presidencies, the wants of her trading classes are being adequately and advantageously supplied, and the exactions of the native usurers put down ; and the success with which the operations of these establishments have been attended, fully justify the belief that at no distant period the capital of Great Britain will secure in that country abundant and profitable investment, ferti lising in its progress and reflecting back the prosperity and civilization which it spreads abroad to the cottage of the humblest British labourer, who is at this momen pining in compulsory idleness in the midst of an amoun of unemployed wealth greater than has existed in any country in the annals of the world.

Much anxiety was felt, towards the middle of last week, as to this noble steamer, which was due at this port on the Saturday previous, but had not made her appearance; and many began to apprehend that some misfortune had befallen her. On Thursday, the arrival of the Themia. from the Bay of Fundy, brought the tidings that the Co lumbia had suffered a disaster on her passage from Boston to Halifax, through the prevalence of fog. The fact, however, that all the passengers and crew were safe, re lieved the anxiety of their friends. The steam-ship Margaret arrived at this port on Sun day, under the command of Captain Shannon, late com mander of the Columbia, of the fate of which vessel she brings more certain intelligence than that previously com municated. The following ; particulars of the melancholy disaster have been furnished us by Lieut. Parsons, who was on board the Columbia, in charge of the mails. They were penned on board the Margaret, at sea, on the 13th inst.— " The beautiful and roost excellent sea-boat Columbia sailed from Boston in prime order, and as well commanded and manned as any of this noble line. She carried the American mail for England, and eighty-seven passengers. At 2 p.m. on the Ist of July she steamed out of Boston t c io a n er o s r , walking e r t s h , e and water th l e i k p e r d t e h ion of science. s o e f i e n life, ce t h e w, a , n i r aa as with a mantle; but, rejoicing in a well-tried pilot, we thought not of danger, and continued to run at the rapid rate of ten knots till the following afternoon, at a quarter past one, when sh e groun d e d, an d h ea l ed over to port. Alarm guns were quickly fi re d i n va i n f ur two hours, and our alarming situation was apparent to all nautical men on board. As the tide left, and exposed the jagged and sharp-pidoted rocks on the larboard bow, standing ten feet high, and nearly within reach of a long arm from the ship, we ascertained that she had, from her speed, forced herself up an inclined plane, and hung from fore foot to paddle boxes, with her stern in thirty feet water. This occasioned her to strain prodigiously, as evinced by the opening of her butt ends. At 3 p.m. our guns were an swered by the faint sound of musket and horn, and never were faint sounds listened to with more forcible delight. At 4 p.m. a boat, of ten tons, that had sought us some time in vain, came alongside, with information of our whereabouts, which was that the Columbia lay on a for midable reef of rocks, one mile and a half from Seal Island, and about 130 miles from Halifax ; that two fami lies occupied the island, their houses one mile and a half apart; that the master of the light-house at Seal Island, Mr. Hitchens, commanded the boat, and that he would land the ladies, which he accordingly did, though the fog continued so dense, that from the ship we saw nothing but the sharp -pointed rocks under our larboard bows. At five on Monday morning, perceiving the ship would become a total wreck, got the royal mail into a couple of boats, and was towed by Mr. Hitchens to the rocky and stony beach of Seal Island, up which we with difficulty conveyed it to the loft of a small outbuilding, half filled with imperfectly cured fish, that became a mail and bed room to me during our stay on that delectable piece of Dame Nature's formation, in which, being hurried, she had neglected to piace fresh water, what little it contained being the drainings of decayed vegetation. I found our lady passengers huddled together in two small rooms of a srnallhouse, the mistress of which was named Mrs.Crowell. The whole family were kind-hearted and obliging. The gentlemen passen, ers, of whom there was a strong detach ment of thirty, had waded through bog and brier, and reaped their reward in the lighthouse and its adjoining building. After four days and nights, spent in this small island of fog, tempest and dreary desolation, the steam contract vessel Margaret anchored within two miles of us. Save and except the mates and crew, we all embarked in the Margaret, and landed in Halifax on Friday afternoon— where we:: left many of our passengers—and on Sunday evening proceeded with as much speed as the Lady Mar garet could put forth for the merry shores of England." The steamer Margaret found the Columbia in such a position as showed that there was very little chance of saving aught but the machinery. The timbers were fast giving way, and every moment increased the water in her hold. On Wednesday she broke her back, and, when the Margaret left, was swinging by the bows, and certain, from the least violent commotion of the wind and waves, to become utterly destroyed. A meeting of the passengers was held at Seal Island on the 6th instant, when a resolution was passed, appointing a committee of five to draw up a letter to Capt. Shannon, expressing their high opinion of his conduct. The letter s lt ha is n non highlyfor c h o i m s pli strenuousm e ntary , e xert io n acquits s t o h n e th e trying captai n o f 0 E:1 - 1 was subs equent l y written, approved, signed by the whole of the p assengers, gentlemen and ladies, and transmitted. blame, an d expresses the greatest gratitude to Captain casion. The disaster which has happened to the Columbia is only the third which the vessels composing the line have sustained since its establishment three years ago. LIST OF PASSENGERS BY THE MARGARET.
