(From a Fourth Edition of the Times of Yesterday) We have received by a second extraordinary express the Indian mail, with despatches and journals, which left Bom bay on the 30th April. The troops to form the expedition against China were em barked at Madras on the 16th of April on board the John . Adam and Rustomsjee Cowajee without a single accident, and all the other preparatory measures were in progress. On their side the Chinese displayed activity and determi nation. The accounts from China, brought by these papers and correspondence, come down to the 13th of March. They state that an order of the Emperor for suspending trade with all foreign nations, without exception, reached Canton on the 12th of February. The Emperor, moreover, ordered Com missioner Lin to give effect to that interdict, without refer. ring to the Government at Pekin. Several attempts to burn the British fleet in Tconkoo Bay were made by the Chinese, but they miserably failed. Many Chinese families were flying from Macao. In the mean time a spirit of discontent and rebellion, among the inhabitants .of Pekin and of the second capital Moukden, has excited considerable alarm, and several of the mandarins have been degraded for having neglected to seize the criminals. CHINA. ATTEMPT OF THE CHINESE. TO BURN TILE BRITISH FLEET IN TOONGKOO BAY. About ten o'clock on Friday morning two small junks were observed to arrive among the shipping in Toougkoo Bay. About half-past one on Saturday morning, they were observed coming down from the eastern end of the bay iii flames ; but the wind being too southerly, they drifted in shore of the shipping, through the mass of small Chinese boats and foreign schooners : one touched the Devil schooner, and set fire to her forward ; but the crew succeeded in extin guishing the fire with the loss of the jib and damage to the bowsprit. These junks, or rafts, were tilled with all kinds of combustibles, cotton, oil, bamboo guns, or rather tubes, thickly mounted in several tiers, that threw out fire balls as the fire reached them. Some of the ships slipped their ca bles, and the Cawasjee Family was aground for a few hours, but without receiving any damage. It is the opinion of an experienced eye—witness that had there been 20 such junks chained together, the shipping would have been greatly injured. This abortive attempt, however, has had the good effect of awakening the captains and officers of the ships to the danger to which they are exposed, and they are therefore more on the alert ; several have bent sails, shifted their berths, and got springs on their cables. Since writing the above we have been told another attempt was made to burn the fleet on the succeeding night, but, from some unknown cause, was not persevered in.—Canton Register, March 3. On Friday night, the Bth of February, at about 10 o'clock, two junks on lire, to which a number of smaller boats filled with combustibles were attached, were seen to drift towards the shipping from the Cap-sing-moon passage, but wind and tide carried them clear of the shipping, nearer in shore, among a number of small Chinese boats, some of which we hear were burnt. The only damage sustained was by the schooner Devil having her jib and bowsprit set on fire, which was, however, soon extinguished, and by the Cowasjee Family, in slipping her cable to avoid the fire-ships, having - got ground, but got off again with out sustaining any damage. We hear the boats of Her Majesty's ship Volage were employed in towing these fire ships out of the line of danger. They burnt out, after having drifted on shore without explosion, though, it is said, they were filled with bamboos stuffed with gunpowder, broken glass, small stones, &c. On the following night another attempt at firing the fleet was made, but without suc cess. The tide on Friday night was very low, and the wea ther fine, two circumstances much in favour of the fleet, which might have suffered considerably had the attempt of the Chinese been on a larger scale and better managed. As it is, however, this first trial will but too likely be followed by others which may possibly be more dangerous, the Chinese from experience being enabled to give a truer direction to their fireships ; and it is hardly necessary in us to recommend the greatest vigilance.—Canton Press, March 7. A memorial had been issued from the Grand Military Council, addressed to Lin, Viceroy of Kwantung and Qwangse, recommending the massacre of the English, and the stoppage of the foreign trade. Standard Office, Three o'clock LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—This DAY. The supplies of English, Irish, and foreign produce into this port since Tuesday last are, on the whole, rather light compared with those of the preceding week, as will be ob served on reference to the particulars subjoined. At this day's market Foreign Wheats, still commanding a preference over all other descriptions, were in tolerably fair demand; good runs of red Baltic on the reduced terms of Friday, and several other kinds at a decline of 2d, to 3d. per 70 lbs. from the rates of this day se'nnight. English and Irish Wheats, however, in which we had little passing to-day, were held at late prices. American Flour, duty paid, to which the transactions were confined, was in good request at our last quotations ; while parcels in bond were offered 6tl per barrel lower, and but few sales effected. The weather in all respects being highly favourable, itcon noes to force vegetation onward with amazing vigour; and seldom, in any former year, has the prospect of an early har vest in this district been more strikingly apparent ; nor, in deed, if we except some partial complaints of deficiency in the Wheat plant, has the promise of general plenty upon the ground been more conspicuous than at present. Foreign Barley was saleable at the full rates last noted. Malt, Beans, and Pease, were in slow request, and hardly supported former prices Oats, for which there was little or no demand as mealers, were taken off in small quantities only fot provender, at our last currency. Oatmeal, upon a limited inquiry to-day, was rather cheaper. ARRIVALS OF CORN, From the 2nd to the Bth June, 1840, inclusive, SECOND EDITION. PEKING A spirit of discontent and rebellion has gained considera bly upon the inhabitants of the capital, and given rise to the establishment of numerous illegal associations and bro therhoods in the very precincts of the palace. The report of this state of things does not proceed from the pencil of a misanthrope, but from the court itself, and may therefore be considered as by no means exaggerated. Defiance of the constituted authorities, robbery in open daylight, and ex cesses of every description, are the immediate consequences.

After much search five persons have been discovered who had joined themselves by an oath, besmearing their mouths and swearing eternal fidelity to each other. Though they are guilty of no other crime, they have been delivered over to the tribunal of punishment, to be dealt with according to the law, which denounces such proceedings. The Imperial tombs have again been violated, much to the grief of old Taoukwang. Little as we know about the Celestial Court, there seems to be much agitation amongst the dense popula tion. At Moukden, the second capital, matters are by no means better, as the translation of the following edict will show. The riots there have been worse than at Birmingham, but Celestial justice is summary—catch the criminals, whether Chartists or common agitators, and if you cannot do so within a specified time yOu must take the consequences. Trial, sentence, and execution, are in this land synonymous terms. We have received an Imperial edict to the following effect : She and Ying Lave presented a memorial requesting to de grade some assistant magistrates for not keeping a proper watch and the consetirent escape of some criminals, that they may in future seize them in good earnest. It appears that several persons, guilty of murder, through their negligence ab sconded, and sub: equently plotted together to the number of several hundred men and acted as incendiaries at Moukden. Eighteen of them have since been caught.—Pekin Gazelle. C lIIN ESE TROOPS. Nine Government junks and boats, some of them of large size, filled with Chinese troops, have been lying in the inner harbour for the last eight or ten days. Five arc anchored near the Leen-yang temple on the race course, and four near the house occupied by the establishment of Messrs. Turner and Co. Notwithstanding the Taoutae's proclamation, cargo has not been sent from Canton for the ship laid on for Lisbon, which has been dttained snore than two months for her teas, &c. The Provincial Government, it is said, are building 30 boats in Canton, under the direction of five Chinese boat builders hired i n Macao. ney are to be double-banked, 28 oars on each side; ;ire to be well armed and equipped for the service of capturing opium ships, brigs, and schooners.

The artillery was remark ably well served, and the engineer department was conducted in the best possible manner. Yesterday morning, at about half-past four-o'clock, a four teen-inch shell was thrown into the highest part of the castle, and a tremendous explosion immediately took place. A few hours afterwards a Cat list officer cast himself over the wall of the town, and although be was fired upon, managed to escape to our camp. lie stated that the effect of the explo sion was to kill the commandant-general of artillery, and about fifty men— the governor of the castle being likewise severely wounded.

At our market this morning the supplies of English Wheat were exceedingly small, and having experienced a good de mand from our millers, a clearance was effected of this arti cle at an advance of fully Is. per qr. on the quotations of Monday last. For free foreign Wheat there was little in quiry, and sales were with difficulty effected at last week's prices; in bonded Wheat we did not hear of a single trans action. Flour, both of town and country manufacture, met a slow sale at previous rates. Of Barley the receipts were moderate, and a limited extent of business was done in this grain at former prices. The arrivals of Oats during the past week, as well as the supplies fresh up this morning, have been very small ; in consequence of which factors held for higher prices, and the finest qualities in some instances re alised an improvement of about 6d. per qr. ; the trade on the whole was firm at last Monday's currency. Beans and Peas were scarce, and quite as dear as before. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. TUESDAY, JUNE g.—Wind S.S.E. • AR al vsn .

In consequence of this refusal many of the electors, who would otherwise have supported General Wyndham, became committed ; but this difficulty will not operate on a future occasion, so that we may confidently add Coeke be rmroeustchuteod f ro h the list of Whig plaicgesgrasp_ which, at a gener a l election, will .ifrighton Gazette. majority of the ofliars, wls had resolved to effixt their es cape with the garrison, during last night, if ponible, This information was very valuable; the generallp r elnef im mediately gave orders for all the divisions of the Army to approach nearer to the castle, and for the utmost vigilance to be used during the night, so us to intercept the fugitives. At about midnight a sharp tire of musketry was heard in the direction of the town. This was occasioned by the attempt of the garrison to carry their project into effect. They sallied forth in silence from the Puerta del Estudm; but a party of the queen's troops were at hand, and fired upon them. The result was that they lied in all direc tions, and almost all (say six hundred) fell into the hands of the queen's forces stationed as above-men tioned. About 40 who were fired upon by a party of Christinos stationed in a ruined house not far from the gate attempted to re-enter, but others who were waiting to follow them hearing the shouts of " Viva Isabella II." from the queen's sol diers and conceiving that they were about to enter, tired on the retreating Carlists, who were all pressed together on the draw-bridge : there they were between two tires ; and at this awful moment a shell, fired from one of our batteries, fell on the bridge, shattered it to pieces, and the whole were precipi tated into the ditch and crushed to death ! I have just seen them all lying in a heap in the ditch—a most frightful sight. The governor was among those who attempted to escape • he was seriously woundeJ, and returned to the town ; his horse was killed. This morning, at day-break, the fire from our batteries opened with increased vigour, and all preparations were made . for making a breach in the wall of the town, by batteries placed more in advance. The castle had been the princi pal object hitherto aimed at, and it was very much battered. At about seven o'clock, however, a written communication was sent to the general-in-chief, from the civil governor, of fering to capitulate, upon condition that the whole garrison should be allowed to go to France under escort. The reason given for this request was, that they feared persecution from the inhabitants, and dreaded that their lives would be ,sacrificed if they surrendered themselves as prisoners of war. This request, of course, could not be complied with.— The general-in-chief sent an answer to that effect. General Linage accompanied the aide-de-camp who was the bearer of it, and explained verbally that the fears expressed were groundless. However, such was the terror with which the whole had been inspired by the falsehoods of Cabrera and his agents, that they could not make up their minds to sur render at discretion, until a peremptory message was sent by the duke to say they must do so at once, or hostilities must instantly recommence. The consequence was that the sur render without conditions took place as above mentioned. Our loss has been trifling. In the siege of Morella itself only one man has been killed, and very few wounded. The whole of the superior officers, by whom the duke was surrounded, embraced and felicitated him upon this happy event, as did Colonel Michell, her Britannic Majesty'l; com missioner ; Lieutenant Lyner, of the Royal Engineers; and Lieutenant Dickson, of the Royal Artillery. Colonel Michell, and the above officers who are attached to him, have been constantly present during the whole operations ; in which they have taken that interest Which is not only due to the cause of her majesty's ally, but also personally ; and I have good reason for knowing that this is highly appreciated by the general-in-chief and the whole army. To complete the happy state of affairs, Brigadier Zurbano arrived yesterday at head-quarters, bringing with him seven officers and upwards of fifty men, taken prisoners that morn ing at El Boga, about five hours' march from this. About thirty of the enemy were killed. The rebel chief, Forcadell, is said to have been killed; all his baggage was taken, and his horse killed. Brigadier Zurbano was surrounded by five battalions, commanded by the rebel chief Polo, to whom he offered battle, but this was not accepted. He, however, surprised and dispersed one Carlist battalion in El Bogs, gaining the advantages above described. THIRD EDITION. ,THE AFFM-RS OF BRITISH GUIANA, in our i lq,st we briefly detailed the proceedings in the Coin !slued goert of British Guiana in reference to the nee , Civil List. We now proceed to extract from the Guiana Times a complete exposure of the disgraceful job of which the planters of British Guiana were the intended victims. After enume ratiesethe progress made in the discussion of the Civil List question in the Combined Court, and expressing a wish that the Court of Policy might retrace its steps, the Guiana Times proceeds to review the mode in which the colony has been treated by the Whigs and their congenial underlings. The following are its remarks : For some months after the termination of the apprenticeship fallacious symptoms of prosperity blinded many, who had a sincere anxiety to arrive at the truth. A large quantity of money, at its lowest amount, half a million sterling a-year, being retained in the country, and distributed, in the form of wages, among the labourers, gave rise to many novelties in our internal trade. Stores rose, with prodigious celerity, and at a short distance from each other, in both town and country : cottages started up with proportionate rapidity : it was believed that the colony was being regenerated, and that there would be no end to the briskness suddenly infused into commerce: His Excellency the Governor was careful to in form the Secretary of State of the changes progressing under his administration of the new order of things. The Parlia mentary papers contain notices of the obscurest bush-lot, where only some temporary shelter has been put up. " The village of Mahaica, and the hamlet Mahaicony are rapidity increasing, and some settlements are springing up, near Abary." On some nameless spot, " many plots of land have been purchased by labourers, and preparations for building cottages are in progress :" " Fredericksburgh is greatly increasing :" " Georgetown district: buildings being erected in all directions." "The new appraisement of Georgetown shows au increase in the value of buildings and lots, in three years, since the last appraisement of 1836, amounting to upwards of 600,000 dollars, or more than £120,000 sterling," a fact so gratifyirg and considered so important, that it went home, carefully preserved in a sepa rate despatch, exclusively appropriated to its announcement. It was on the perusal of those communications, that Mr. Ste phens, the pious author of the documents published with the signature " J. Russell," exclaimed, with hands clasped, and eyes turned upwards towards Heaven, " Our brethren of Africa have become shop-keepers, and petty traders, and hucksters, and small freeholders :—a blessed change which Providence has enabled us to accomplish." Had Mr. Light stopped there, he might have been consi sidered a harmless man, of a visionary fancy and chimerical notions, but a benevolent and warm heart. But he had not the discretion, or, more probably, he wanted the candour, to separate and direct marks of prosperity, impressed on the colony by the commencement of the free systein. from the slow, but sure and fatal symptoms of a general decline, originating in the same memorable event. Not only must he represent the peasantry as placed in the way of comfort and happiness, but he must needs describe agriculture as flourishing, and, in a series of despatches, which never, like others of his communications, saw the light through his in strumentality, but the fortuitous publication of which, at intervals, cos era him with confusion, and eradicates from the breast of every rational colonist, all respect for him se a ruler, and nearly all esteem as a man, must needs concoct a mass of fabrication. the Absurdity of which Las, at length, become evident to the Secretary of State himself. The de crease of colonial produce, continued, he admitted, but, " the lengthened drought of the last, and beginning of the present quarter, would have caused diminished crops under the most coerced system of labour." " Even supposing the ' exports of sugar for the year 1839, from this colony, to reach only 85,000 bhds., the returns in money would be larger than when the produce had °been at its greatest extent." " Many of the labourers, who had purchased the land on which they erected cottages, did not abandon field-labour." " With such data,"—the returns of stores and merchandise, " His lordship might judge of the prosperity of the province, unconnected with' —those very troublesome things—" ex ports or imports." Nay, the people on the east coast could not purchase Northbroke, without its being gravely asserted, that " the rules which they had drawn up for their " com munity were so rigid, that none but the determinedly indus trious and sober would be tempted to obtain a settlement among them." " There were surpluses in the colonial treasury," capable of indefinite multiplication, and perfectly inexhaustible : And, climax of ingenuity ! topping-stone of the inventive art! " emancipation had not diminished the prices of property, the best proof of the confidence in the steady prospects of the colony :" for " Plantation Windsor Forest, Demerara, sold for £42,000, the full value, undimi nished by emancipation." For a time, the colonial Secretary of State lent a willing ear to the flattering tale. He " had great satisfaction in re ceiving the conclusive proof, which the Governor's despatch afforded, that the resources of the colony •had not only not decayed, but had undergone a decided improvement since the abolition of slavery and the termination of the apprentice ship system." But, at last, common sense, and the repre sentations of the colonists in their petition, as well as of the West India merchants resident in England, seem to have opened his lordship's oyes to the real condition of affairs. In the despatch of the 15th of February, which no colonist that has perused its contents, can to his dying day forget, Lord John Russell, approaching as closely to the tone of reproof as the courtesies of official intercourse admit, informs Governor Light, that " the decline of produce is unquestionable :" and " that some part of it may be owing, as lie asserts, to the lateness of the season, but no doubt can exist as to the fact of a remarkable falling off in the quantity of produce during the first year of freedom." Then, alluding, we are entitled to presume, to some secret statements of Mr. Light about in sufficient wages, his lordship says, "I am not disposed, as a general proposition, to refer this falling off in the produce to the want of adequate wages as its cause. Many vexatious disputes have, no doubt, arisen :" and so forth. " But a larger and more general cause has led to the decline of culti vation of sugar and coffee." And his lordship calmly and reasonably goes on to argue, in the spirit of the letter ad dressed to him, some time back, by Mr. Burnley, of Trini dad, that the facility of subsistence between the tropics, and the want ora middle class of population, are obvious causes of the decline alluded to, and not either dry seasons or low .pay. But, concludes his lordship, in so many words, with the coolness of an experienced surgeon, anatomizing a living subject, indifferent to the nerves, sinews, and blood-vessels, which his knife divides, wages arc high in Guiana and low in Hindostan : it is a mere matter of calculation to the ca pitalist in whether of the two countries he ought to raise his sugar: the sugar trade may quit Guiana for flinclostan, as the silk trade quitted the east for France, or the woollen trade Tuscany for England : but her Majesty will be satisfied if Guiana flourish, hereafter, in a different sense from that in which it has flourished hitherto, if her subjects there, rescued from the lash of compulsory toil, become, by the help of Providence, shopkeepers, and petty traders, and small freeholders.' A despatch couched in language less capable of being misunderstood, it is impossible to imagine. The perusal of it produced on the minds of the people of this colony, an effect analogous to that of a thunder-clap. Yet, no one could deny that its train of reasoning was natural to a statesman, bound by no ties of affection or interest to any particular portion of the British empire, but casting, without, passion or selfishness, the destinies of its united millions. That despatch reached governor Light on the 21st March, by the same vessel which conveyed to him Mr. Young. With a disingenuousness the exposure of which may call up a a blush to his cheek, he kept it back from the public. Lord John Russell did not consider it to be private, for he laid it before the House of Commons. Yet, we say, his excellency kept it back from us. Its contents did not leak out, even through the ordinary chink—the garrulity of the people around him. The two houses of legislature met ; speeches were made and addresses delivered ; yet not a whisper was breathed about that despatch. Probably, the chief justice alone shared, with the governor and the government secre tary, the knowledge of its contents. The financial representa tives, after much earnestness of application, extorted the pe rusal of several despatches ; that despatch was not amongst them. Nevertheless, with a penetration which redounds to their credit, they acted as if they had seen and read it from beginning to end.* It arrived in the colony, among the par liamentary papers, a few hours before the division took place, and the most moderate men. when they perused it, acknow ledged that the colony had been led to the brink of a preci pice by the governor, from which the firmness of its accre ditted representatives alone saved it. We seem at last to have reached the most disreputable act in the whole course of his excellency's administration ; that he, appointed to guard the interests of the colonists, should seek—furtively hiding the information which he possessed, to betray the colonists into a fatal compact, to endure for twenty-oue years. But we dismiss this part of the question, fur the personal demerits of an individual are of small moment, compared with the fate of what ought to be a great country. The assertion has been never denied, although reiterated, times innumerable, that the projected civil list had its origin in this colony. His Excellency, in the end of July, last year, " called the attention" of time Secretary of State—that was the expression —to the necessity of being prepared with a new civil list, and " respectfully submitted the propriety of pro viding more liberally for the public officers :" he stated the dearness of provisions, and, (for the first time, it would seem,) the difficulty of obtaining labour, but only as regarded menial services : alleged the community to be well disposed, (the despatch has not as yet been published in this country, being studiously kept back,) to admit the propriety of in creasing salaries : announced that, "could any boon be offered to the colonists, he did not despair of tieing the salaries at the increased rate on the civil list :" " and begged the Minis ter to strengthen materially his (the Governor's) position, by signifying to him his approval of the civil list he had pro posed, or any other he might consider to be just, previously to the meeting of the combined court." Lord John Rus sell's reply to all this, it was deemed not unsafe to publish. He gave, willingly, and, we dare say, without deep considera tion, the required approval, insisting, however, on a pro vision for the pensioners : and what position did the Governor assume then? 'flue project, created by himself, and only permitted by the Secretary . of State, lie held, in terrorem, over the combined court, as one, the terms of which he could • not uow depart from. The Colonists are certainly, as much indebted to the gentlenien who move for the production of parliamentary papers, as to any other class of Members of the Imperial Legislature. 'We said it was likely the Chief Justice had seen the despatch of the 15th of February. "If the East Indian capitalist," says Lord John, "can compete with the Demerara planter, the sugar business will risc in Bengal, and the Cooly remain at home : the plantation will be found for the labourer, and not the labourer go to the plantation." The Chief Jus tise tells you, that " the English nation, whiai cries for cheap postage and cheap corn, will have cheap sugar too, and that the harvest of the West Indies will last no longer than the next three years." The man must be blind, indeed, who does not perceive in this the clearest indications of the ap proach of one of the most momentous changes in the com merceof hatter of the world that has ever presented itself to the con sideration o f th e po li t i ca l econotn i s t.

But this grave question remains, sgirgrt• time se live ry If every man whom our climate predisposes to indolence, have, within a few years, an opportunity of leading, without immediate inconvenience, such a life as the Secretary of State contemplates without emotion or alarm, what will bec ome of and exporting country this.country as a producing a • • Could any cabinet expect, for twenty-one years of unprodactive , equalled only by that given in ness, a rate of remuneration tti _ flourishing times ? It is quite incredible. I Secretary of the civil Ist front the ge n _ State manifestly draws his ideas of rovistons : his views tleman most largely interested in its . p we are grieved of colonial society from a very differ ent, and, to say, a sounder source. Already have Northbroke and New Orange Nassau been purchased by emancipated labour- * We are in error. They would not have offered so libe ral a civil list of their own. (Ts ; another plantation on the same coast is now the subject of a treaty, preliminary to a similar purchase. If the present high'wages continue unabated, plantation will follow planta tion. We very cordially assent to Lord John Russell's sen timent, that " there is nothing in this singular or culpable, since no man in England, who has capital sufficient to keep a strop or rent a farm, will follow the plough as a day la bourer." The purchasers of Northbroke did not know their own motives of action as human beings, when they declared their " firm determination, as a body,' to continue to labour daily on the several plantations.where they were employed." The:officer whom they addressed displayed equal ignorance of frail humanity, when he wrote of the rigid " rules of their community excluding all besides the determinedly industrious and sober." Nu one now seeks to compel these people to promote the splendour of the empire by keeping its com merce up ; but why strive "to mock, .with ancient and obso lete' munificence, the desolation of abandoned fields, or the wild luxuriance of spots of ground, yielding sufficient subsist ence for the wants of the day, but nothing beyond ? Without immigration, then, it is of no use to talk of your civil list. But you say you will allow us to have immigrants. Not, however, from Africa or the East Indies; in the latter country, you openly contemplate the'creation of sugar estates : a scheme which possesses several of the ingredients necessary to success, first, as it would benefit the Corporation of Lea denhall-street, next, as it would rescue the Coolies, con fessedly wretched, from sheer starvation ; thirdly, as it would counterbalance the exertions of the foreign slave-dealer. Now, how, with such a scheme staring us in the face, could you ask us to consent to your proposals, submitting, at the same time, to restrictions which must prove our ruin ? A taunt about our wishing to deal in human flesh, comes with but a bad grace from any servant of the local government. Were that civil list granted, the immigrant's flesh, who arrived here from the United States, could be said to be purchased, as truly as that of the African or Cooly. It is inconsistent, if such is the traffic which we actually wish to drive, to let us deal in Americans, but to shut up the Indian market. The government secretary, if he obtained his £2OOO, under the conditions carried out by him, would owe the odd £BOO a-year to the purchase of the sinews, bones, and flesh of his fellow-creatures, fellow-immortals, aiming to fulfil the high destinies of their moral nature, just as truly as if we had agents in all the Presidencies, and along the whole African Coast. But it is monstrous to set up a clamour of trafficking, in human flesh. Trafficking in human happiness, rather ! and adding to the well-being of thousands of individuals, while we would develope the capabilities, and accumulate the wealth of the state. Our financial representatives proposed to give £7OO sterling a-year to each of the stipendiary magis trates, who were to be nominated by the home government, and four of whom must speak the Hindostanee language. If the liberality and sound discretion of this part of their offer, do not very forcibly strike the British parliament, some ho nourable members mingled but little sincerity with their high-sounding and ambitious declamations, against what they denominated the Cooly slave trade. But not only was the immigration offered by the local go vernment, as part of their consideration, in the bargain, limited in extent, but also of the mostprecarious duration. There was no guarantee given, of the perpetuity of the per mission to freemen to emigrate hither. The very year after the cOmmencement of the civil list cycle of twenty-one years, prohibitions the most stringent might have been imposed. And only observe by what process the appropriation of money was to have been regulated. The Governor was to have allowed, annually, such an issue for immigration purposes, as he might consider expedient. We know that, last year, his excellency sent home such representations to Lord Nor m anby, that the noble marquis declared the colony incapable of supporting the expenses of immigration, since it could not, as he said, meet the exigencies of some of the most important departments of the state. Now, nothing was more likely th n that some crotchet might enter into the head of the ex (naive, which if the combined court rejected, the execu tiv e would not gt ant immigration. Suppose that the govern ment candidates had been returned to the two financial setts, at the late election, instead of the popular,' and the votes in the combined court been equalized, the governor having a casting vote. The financial body must have quietly taken, without murmuring, such despatches as his excellency chose to lay before it. The civil list would have been passed, giv ing the governor £6000., the financial body not knowing that there existed a despatch allowing his excellency a govern ment house out of the parliamentary relief grant. The civil list secure, the contents of the despatch would have gradually leaked out. A future combined court, more popularly con stituted, would remember this double-dealing, and attack some analogous annual allowance : the governor, in revenge, would shut up all the immigration supplies, declaring the more pressing exigencies of the country unprovided for. Co lonists, you can hardly have a conception of the dangers, from which the vigilance of your representatives has rescued you. You may despond as you see the executive now vin dictively locking up your own resources : your immigration society, destitute of funds, appealing to your exhausted purses : the very items proposed for improvements by steam machinery, rudely erased by the hand of authority. But, recollect, the guardians of the public chest have still one cheek left on official tyranny. On the 6th of March last, the governor, in the court of policy, read a minute, a solemn document placed on record, in winch he stated that he consented to let thirty thousand dollars stand on the estimate for the use of the immigration society. An item thus placed there, must, of necessity, come before the combined court, by which, beyond a question, it would be carried unanimously. Will it be credited that his excellency, to hamper the colonists, threatens to withdraw this item from the estimate, and place it beyond the power of the combined court even to entertain it ? He has given the instructions of Lord John Russell a retrospective .effect, menacing.to violate his own high honour as a ruler. We trust that he will withdraw this unjust and arbitrary proce dure. But if he do not, the colonists would, we are certain, justify their representatives, if they threw such impediments in the way of raising . the yearly supplies, as would involve him in difficulties, of the nature of which he has little con ception. The step is not to betaken rashlyebut, once taken, must not be receded front: for this tyranny is becoming in supportable, and must be shaken oil. Whoever he be that stands between us and our attainment of prosperity, or, rather, the preservation of our being, must be punished for his rashness, and held up, a conspicuous beacon, to warn oil all future rulers from those dangerous aggressions. Last year, the governor also, in a minute or speech to the court, declared that he " should not have felt justified, ac cording to his ideas of the prosperity of the country, to have given his assent to the import tax." This year, he is willing to allow an import tax, provided we allow him the civil list which he asks. Such a tax, (of course, on British goods is meant,)was imposed some years back, levied for a short time, and then suddenly discontinued. Could the financial representatives have been satisfied with less than they required, a guarantee that the import duty should be co existent with the civil list, of which it professed to be in aid? But observe the cunning of even this proposal of a boon. The local government offered, indeed, to permit an import duty, but they themselves were to regulate its amount. Give us permission to raise a tax, while you retain its possible amount in your own keeping, and your permission is totally valueless. _ _ _ An artifice •was practised by the local government, when they submitted to us the civil list as a whole. • This was met' by the financial representatives, by a cordial anxiety to sacrifice individual differences of opinion as to the details, In sanc tioning their conduct with his approval, a man does not bind himself to anything beyond an acquiescence in the great general principle of demanding an adequate and permanent remuneration for the concessions which they make. The civil list of the local government proposed for educa tional and ecclesiastical uses, £1,150, a sum ridiculously in adequate. That of the popular representatives, in round numbers, £lO,OOO, (51,266d01., 67c.) Some fault may be found with the distribution of this amount between the epis copalian and the Scottish communions. The local chief of the Romish church has taken the alarm, and convened a Sun day meeting for the support, as he terms it, of the just views of the local government. His notice is what may be fami liarly termed fussy, but is not likely to attract many ad herents : for the Romish bishop is so domineering, so un popular, so fond of keeping the management of the funds of his congregation in his own hands, and conducting it in his own way, that his flock are not ely to fall into the trap which lie has laid for them, or to wish to see a rapacious and irresponsible man entrusted with additional means of spurn ing at them and outrag i ng q them. By the term " a few financial representatives, the reverend gentlemen designates, let us remind him, the whole financial body. The assertion that the court of policy have voted the means of competent support to the Roman Catholic clergy of this colony, but that the financial representatives attempt to withhold it, is a false hood, disgracing the author's cloth, and affronting the cross under which he ministers. The court of policy placed nothing on the civil list for the Romish church. Every respectable Roman Catholic, on the day of meeting, after he has humbly offered his adoration to his Maker, will quit, we are certain, in thorough disgust, the sacred edifice profaned by the brawl ing of that turbulent and grasping priest. if a discussion of the minutice of the civil list had been permitted to result in separate divisions, some liberal modification might have been made, of the provision for the two establishments. But now the Romish bishop has sunk so low, as to fawn, in the hopes of pecuniary aggrandisement, on an authority who professes to hold him in such abhorrence, that he has vowed never to sit again beneath the same roof with him. And - now, with these considerations before them, and a hundred others which will be suggested to them by the peru sal of the recent debates or by their own reflections, our readers may judge of the debt of gratitude they owe the popu lar representatives. The discomfiture which they have sus tained, ought to teach the members of the local government to moderate their desires, and bound their aspirations after emolument by their real usefulness to the country. Which of them has ever introduced a salutary and practical improve ment into any of our institutions ? To which of them do we owe any reforms in our legal code ? is not the best of them merely a respectable performer of ordinary duties, in the discharge of which he • seldom, if ever, deviates from the humble routine of his inglorious and forgotten predecessors ? Does the honourable gentleman, whose talent is the most conspicuous, exhibit any of the commanding genius that fits men for conducting great enterprises ? Is he more than a ready and eloquent debatek, and a docile and clever servant ? Are not complaints universal against the uncertainty of the principles on which justice is administered? Which of the most experienced of the •practicioners at • the bar, can cal culate the future decisons of the supreme court by past prece dents ? or understand the existing system of jurisprudence, Dutch statutes interpreted by judges quite ignorant of the laws and practices of Hollaud ? Do not the public buildings. form a vast castle of indolence, in which, beneath the very eye of the executive, judges, sworn clerks of all descriptions, magistrates, and custom-house officers, drag on, while the public work is neglected, from day to day, a listless and lux urious existence, or if they are industrious, are active only for the mischievous purposes of party politics ? But we need not rest the rejection of the proposed civil list on the defects or inefficency of the executive government. It is sufficient to have proved that, while the revenue is annually falling off, and the expenditure increasing, it is only immigration, and an equal division of taxes, that could have enabled us to bear the burden prepared for our shoulders by the local govern ment. If we are to sink to the condition of a nation of pro vision growers and petty shopkeepers, the affairs of our state can be managed well enough by members of our creole popu lation, who will be satisfied with e moluments proportionate to the minor importance of their functions. There will be no need to attract to our shores a horde of dependent stran gers, that we may pay them extravagently while in office, and give them after they retire, an allowance which they shall spend for the benefit of lands with which we have no manner of sympathy. POST•OFFICE PENNY LABELS.-It may prove an awk ward thing to give or lend a penny label to a neighbour, as it subjects the party to be seized forthwith by the collar, and lodged in gaol. By the 2d and 3d Vie., c. 52, sec. 8, the rates denoted by the labels or covers are to he deemed stamp duties, and the paper impressed with postage stamps is sub jected to all the regulations, pains, penalties, and clauses contained in the acts relating to stamp duties. The labels are, therefore, under the protection of the statute 3d and 4th William IV., c. 97, by the 12th clause of which, if any per son shall hawk or carry about for sale any stamped paper, " or shall utter or offer for sale or exchange. at any house, shop, or place, other than the house or shop in which he shall reside, or bond fide carry on his trade or business, any stamped paper," he shall forfeit £2O, and any man may apprehend him. He may be further tined £2O •for selling stamps without a license, and the informer may have all the penalty, at the option of the commissioners of stamps. By the same act, if any person shall fraudulently get out of, or discharge from any stamped paper any matter or thing thereon written, printed, or expressed, he shall be judged guilty of felony, and be liable to be transported for life. The same punishment may be awarded to any person who shall " knowingly use, or have possession of," any stamped paper, from which any matter or thing shall have been fraudidently erased, cut, scraped, discharged, or gotten.

The arrivals from abroad include 8250 qrs. of Wheat, and 11,000 barrels of Flour, and there have been duty paid on 5,600 qrs. of Wheat, 2,581) qrs. of Barley, 124 qrs, of Peas, 293 qrs. of Beans. and 4,240 barrels of Flour. The favourable weather we have experienced for the grow ing crops has had the effect (usual at this season of the year) of checking any activity in the corn trade ; at a decline of ad to 3d per bushel, however, from the quotations of this day se'nnight, a tole rably fair business has been done in free Foreign Wheat for con sumption. Two or three buyers have appeared from a distance in the country American Flour, duty paid, has met a moderate vend at 35s to : , 5s 6d per barrel in bond 2r,s is the top price, and no transactions of mament have transpired, The better qualities of Oats have been held for previous rates ; but secondary and inferior descriptions have offered on easier terms, and few of any kind have been sold. Oatmeal, upon a little more extended demand, has maintained last week's rates, 34s to 31s 6d per 2401b5. In Barley, Beans, or Peas, there is no material change to report. ;liiatitets. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 8. We have again experienced a very short supply of Beef, that of Mutton and Lamb was more plentiful ; the demand was good, but from the extreme high prices being demanded for Beef, there was a dullness in the trade, coarse and inferior 6d to 6id, middling 7d, prime lid to ad. Prime Wethet Mutton sold at 7d, second quality 64d; Lambs 7d to Bd. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 6. There has been a fair demand throughout the week from the trade, and speculators and exporters have also operated to some extent ; the market, however, still remains heavy, and prices of American, in some instances, are again id tb lower. Brazil have further declined, and the quotations may be considered almost nominal ; Egyptian and East India barely support last week's prices. • Speculators have taken 2100 American, and Exporters 1019 American, and 250 Carthagena. 2300 Madras are advertised for public sale on Friday next.

Our supply of Butter since this day sennight has been most abundant, and prices have experienced a rapid decline. Pine Car low, Kilkenny, &c. is not this day worth more than 95s per cwt., whilst brands of indifferent • repute are ineffectually offered at 88s to 90s.
