SECOND EDITION. Standard-office, Eleven o'clock. EXTRAORDINARY EXPRESS FROM INDIA. INDIAN MAIL. (From a Fourth Edition (f the Times of Yesterday.) We have received by a second extraordinaty 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 Cowojee without a single accident, and all the other preparatoi r 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 Februat y. 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 Brit;sh fleet Toonkoo Bay were made by the Chinese, but they miserably failed. Many Chinese famiiies were f1!,; ,, g from Nivea°. In the mean time a spirit of dis..ontent and rebellion, among the inhabitatts of Pekin nod of the second capital Moukden, has excited considerable alarm, and several of the mandarins have been degraded for having neglected to seize the c:iminals. CHINA. ATTEMPT OF THE CIIINESE TO BURN THE BRITISH FLEET IN TOONGXOO BAY. About ten o'clock on Friday morning two small junks were observed to arrive among the shipping in Toongkoo Bay. About half-past oat: on Saturday morning, they were observed coming down from the eastern end of the bay in 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 ber forward ; but the crew succeeded in extin guishing the tire with the loss of the jib and damage to the bowsprit. These junks, or rafts, were filled with ail kinds of combustibles, cotton, oil, bamboo fans, 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, vs not persevered in.—Canton Register, March 3. On Friday night, the Bth of February, at about 10 o'clock, two junks on fire, 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 ally 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, Marehl. A memorial had been issued from the Grand Military Council, addressed to bin, Viceroy of Kwantung and Qwangse, recommending the massacre of the English, and the stoppage of the foreign trade. PEKING. A spirit of discontent and rebellion has gained considera bly upon the inhabitants of the capital, and r ;iven 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, anti ex cesses of every description, are the immediate consequences. The inference we must draw from this is, that the Supreme Government is either too weak to oppose effective restraint, or that the police is leagued with the outlaws. 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 he 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 have presented a memorial requesting to de grade some assistant magistrates for not keeping a proper watch and the consequent 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 subsequently plotted together to the number of several hundred men and acted as incendiaries at Moukden. Eighteen of them have since been caught.—Pekin Gazette. CHINESE TROOPS. Niae 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 are anchored near the Leen-fung 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 detained more 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 in Macao. They are to be double . -banked, 28 oars on each side; ;.te to he well armed and equipped for the service of capturing opium ships, brigs, and schooners. The Chinese suspect the Taoutae is meditating sonic foul play, be cause he is budding and putting the Portuguese off their guard by fair promises. —canton Register, March 10. INDIA. (From the Calcutta Courier, April IG.) The Madagascar steamer leaves us to-morrow morning early—for the Straits and China. • We hear her armament is of the most complete and beautiful description, her large guns over her stern and bow in particular. She is to he fol lowed in a week or ono by the Queen ; 68 pounders will, no doubt, soon thunder in the ears of the inhabitants of the Ce lestial Empire the true sense itl which the power and gal lantry of the British ought to be viewed : the Enterprise fol lows her—also fix• the China expedition. The Mermaid and the Head-quarters of her Majesty's 49th Regiment left Calcutta yesterday in prosecution of her voyage to China. Sir J. G. Brenoner and the Staff leave in the Madagascar this day, and her Majesty's ship Conway, with a di%i=ion of the volunteers, sails from Cal cutta in about a work or ten days. The whole force will then have left, and we silall look with great interest for an account of its proceedings.— Calcutta Englishman, April 17. • THE CHINA EXPEDITION. The transports lcustontsjee Cowagee and John Adam sailed at day-light on Tuesday murning, with the Madras por t io n of the expedition to the eastward, consisting of as follows :- 1 lieutenant-colonel, 2 captains, &lieutenants, 1 surgeon, 1 assistant-surgeon, 2 warrant officers, and 212 European ar tillery, 9 of the ordnance and commissariat departments, 8 native commissioned officers and 64 native artillery, 1 cap tain, 6 lieutenants, 1 an. , sistant-surgeon, 1 warrant officer, 4 native commissioned, 10 European non-commissioned, 1 as sistant-apothecary, and 266 native non-commissioned and rank and file sappers and miners, with 132 public followers. —Bombay Times. Russia, ever sleepless, appears to have her eyes open to the probable results of tie projected British expedition to China. Letters from St. Petersburgh of the Bth ultimo state that, in a few weeks, a mission was about to be sent to the Emperor to the court of Peking.—Bombay Times, April 11. THE CHINA EXPEDITioN,—It appears from general orders, that spirits, will not be issued as rations to the Euro pean troops, but in lien thereof each man will receive a com pensation of 3 rapt cs 2 annas per mensem—the canteen system will be estalilished on hoard, but no man will be allowed to purchase a greater quantity of spirit s th an two drams a day. The European commissioned officers are to h ave f our months' advance of nay and allowances, and the troops two months.'—Benyal literkary, April 16th. (From the Madras Herald, April .1.) We are happy to learn, on the authority of a contemporary, that the Left Wing of the 15th Hussars, under tlic command of Sir Walter Scott, arrived safely at Bangalore on the 31st ultimo. SPAIN. FALL OF MORELLA:, MORELLA, MAY 30.—Morelia has fallen. The prisoners have just been marched out, after delivering up their arms on the dads. The numbers are as tollows, viz., officers, 163 ; mei;, 2114 ; total, 2277 ; to which are to be added GOO taken prisoners last night in endeavouring to escape, making al,ogether "877—say about 3000, for 1 am sure many escaped my sight. The cannonade from upwards of flirty pieces of artillery , of heavy calibre, lasted three days and nights, d o ing great damage to the town and castle. * 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 i 1 )wn into t. - pat t of the castle, and a tremendous explosion immediately place. A few hours afterwards a Cmlist officer casttfierlheyl„lf over the wall of the town, and although he was , managed to ati n illery, escape to our camp. I i e Stated that the effect 'Pon of the explo sion was to kill the commandant-general g likewise and about fifty' men--the governor of the castle b e severely wounded. Titert: 18 ere also about forty men wound ed by this explosion. The consequence was Ilea the garrison of the castle had• become panic-stricken, and there had been a mutiny of a majority of the officers, who had resolved to effect their es cape with the garrison, during last night, if possible. This information was very valuable ; the general-in-chief im mediately gave orders for all the divisions of the army to approach nearer to the castle, and for the utmost v igilance to be used during the night, so as to intercept the fugitives. At about midnight a sharp fire of musketry w.as 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 Estudiu ; but a party of the queen's troops were at band, and fired upon them. The result was that they fled 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, fired on the retreating Carlists, who were all pressed together on the draw-bridge : there they were between two fires ; 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 wounded, 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's 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 whale 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 Bogs, 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 lie offered battle, but this was not accepted. He, however, surprised and dispersed one Carlist battalion in El Boga, gaining the advantages above described. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. NATIONAL EDUCATION. (From Me Staffordshire Gazette.) We regret to perceive the tone taken by the Times newspaper on this important subject, and the more so because of its vast influence, and of our general ac cordance with its principles, The Times observes, with referenCe to the grant of £30,000 last year carried in the Commons, by a majority of two, that., "a condition was attached to it that ministers should appoint in spectors to attest the proper employment of the grant; and never was a more foolish or petulant thing done than the refusing of this grant, or their share of it, by the members of the Church of England, which refusal left government the power of lavishing it without restraint on the school establishments of the political dissenters; whereas, had the church members grasped their of what had in a great degree come from their own pockets in the shape of taxes, there would not have been one dissenting school in five which would have been found to have performed the conditions of the grant, nor one in five of the Church of England schools that had neglected them." Now this is not stating the case fairly : the members of the Church of England did not refuse to accept their share of the grant simply because inspectors were to be appointed, but on account of other conditions stipulated for, which involved their conscience and consistency—they must either have admitted a mutilated Bible and popish and socinian inspectors, men of all creeds and men of no creeds, to dictate the course of instruction in their schools, or reject a grant to which such impudent con ditions were attached. The best supply, however, to the mistakes of the Times, has been very seasonably supplied by that excellent nobleman, the Earl of Win chilsea. At a meeting of the Protestant Association, on Wednesday, assembled to discuss this subject, his lordship delivered his sentiments as follows, and in which we heartily coincide :—" We are assembled," said his lordship, ." upon this' occasion to protest against the further continuance of that unscriptural scheme of national education, against which we raised our voices last year, and in favour of which only the miserable majority of TWO could be obtained in the lower house of parliament, while in the upper house an immense majority of 111 opposed it, adopting an ad dress to the Throne, praying her Majesty to withhold her royal assent to the measure. But notwithstanding this declaration against that scheme of education by so large a majority of the hereditary advisers of the Crown, an incompetent and daring ministry have dared, being compelled by their Popish masters, in direct violation of .. the best feelings of the people, to advise their Sovereign • to force that scheme upon the country at large. We are assembled to sup port our opinion, which is founded on the whole authority of Scripture, that no system of national edu cation can or ought to be acceptable to a Christian country that does not take the Bible, and the whole Bible, for its foundation, and all those religious prin ciples which the Bible inculcates. It is that religion which can alone be of any service to man, and afford him the slightest benefit in this life ; it is that religion alone which can elevate the man and bring his heart and life into subjection to the Almighty, Such a re ligion as that, indeed, is the only religion worth pos sessing ; it is a religion which makes a man happy in himself and a blessing to the community to which he belongs. The system of national education which we stand forward to advocate is one which should re ceive the support of every Christian ruler ; for it has for its object the moral improvement of the popula tion, the formation of upright character, and the in culcation of Christian conduct ; a system which will be the best security of the public tranquility, and the only safeguard of the peace of any coun try, a system which alone can maintain undis turbed and unpolluted the Throne and the Altar. The true Christian is the true and genuine patriot ; amidst the sneers and scorns he meets with from the thoughtless and carelesss world, through evil and through good report, he continues his even. consistent course, his will ever regulated by the laws of God, and his every action in unison with the motto, " Fear God and honour the Sovereign," The true Christian in his relative duties as a father, a husband, a son, a brother, and a neighbour, as a master or a servant, as a ruler or a subject, is invariably found pursuing a just and honest course, supported and influenced by those religious principles which he draws from the Bible, and which can alone entitle him to the esteem and respect of the community. This is the religion, and these are the principles which, if generally taught and difilised throughout the world, would convert this earth, which sin and misery ina,ke a very hell, into a very paradise. We are met to oppose that system of national education, which whatever may be the declared opinions of many who support it, we well know was concocted at Rome, fraudulently to try to deprive Eng lis.hinen of the right of reading the Bible, and to for ward the ever-cherished design of Popery, to bring this country under the domination of the Church of Rome again.

This result has been occasioned, returned as we learn from a person on the spot, by the fa c t of General Wyndham having declined, when he took possession of his property at Coekerinouth, to comply with the urgent request then made to him to become a candidate for the representa tion of the borough on the first vacancy. In consequ ence o f 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 Cockermouth to the list of places which, at a general election, will be rescued from the whig grasp.— Brighton Gazette. Two years ago Colonel Conolly, M.P., the owner of an extensive tract of land in this parish, being desirous to im prove the condition of his tenants there, employed 12 sur veyors to equalise the size of the various farms, and to give to each tenant a fair proportion from the river Gulbarrow to the top of the mountain. He also built for them most com modious and most respectable-looking houses, each having three chimnies and two sash-windows, with office-houses in the rear. They extend in a line along the road a dis tance of 14 miles, arid are as white as the driven snow. These im prov meats did not cost him less than X-1,000 sterling. The colonel also gave his tenants new carts to work, and draw lime with, sledges, crowbars, and box and hand-harrows.

THB AFFAIRS /OF BRITISH GUIANA. In our last we briefly dests„iled the proceedings in the Com bined Court of British Guiana in reference to the new 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 rating the progress made kik the discussion of the Civil List question in the Combined Court, and expressing a wisji 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, amens , the labourers, gave rise to many novelties in our internetrade. 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 he 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 rapidly 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 :" " Fredeticksburgh is greatly increasing :" " Georgetown district: buildings being erected in all directions." "The new appraisement of Georgetown shows an increase in the valise 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 gratifying 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 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 warns heart. lint 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 system, from the slow, but sure and fatal symptoms of a general decline, originating in the same memorable event. Not only roust he represent the peasantry as placed in the way of comfort anti 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, kut the fortuitous publication of which, at intervals, covers him with confusion, and eradicates from the breast of every rational colonist, all respect for him as a ruler, and nearly all esteem as a man, must needs concoct a mass of fabrication, the absurdity of which has, 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 hluis., 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 Northbrokc, 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 riot 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 eyes 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 he 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 presikme, to some secret statements of Mr. Light about in sufficient wages, his lordship says, "Jam 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 of a 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 are 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 Quian4 fpr N flinslostan, 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 xeached 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 check, 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 governtneist secre tary, the knowledge of its contents. The f 'leech's) 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, for 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 coleny : flia Excellency, in the end of July, last year, " called the attention" of the Secretary of State—that was • the expressionto 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 stilted' 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, bthe despatch has not as yet been published in this country, eing stodioesiy kept back,) to admit the propriety of in creasing salaries : armospred that, "could any boon be offered to the colonists, he did not despair ef fir ling 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 positions did the Governor gtssume then ? The project, created by himself, and only permitted by the Secretary of State, he held, in terrorem, over the combiped gourt, as one, the terms of which he could not now depart from, The Colonists are certainly, as much indebted to the gentlemen who move for the production of parliamentary papers, as to any other class of Members pf 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 rise in Bengal, and the Cooly e o s s e po s t r r n a i t ey i " or than e . remain at house : 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, which cries for cheap postage and pheap porn, will have cheap sugar too, and that the harvest of the West Indies will last no longer than, the next three years." The man insist be blind, iisdeed, who does not perceive in this the clearest iedieationa of the ap. proach of one of the most momentous changes in the pool, 'Tierce of the world that has ever presented itself to the POl, sideration of the political economist. A remarkable discrepancy is observable between the senti, ments of the Queen's minister and those of the Queen's re di e s p content en ds on t u i • m i e t with growth another of sugar.f I he hitter magniloquently compares the produce of the co- long the e iy f with that of the united Leeward Islands.

It is quite incredible. The Secretary of State manifestly draws his ideas of the civil list from the ir gen tleman most largely interested in its provisions : his views of colonial society from a very different, and, we are grieved to say, a sounder source. Already have Northbroke and New Orange Nassau been purchase d by emancipated labour- * We are in error. They would not have offered so libe ral a civil list of their own. ; 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 tiop. 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 shop • 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." No 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, yiehlinff sufficient subsist ence for the wants of the day, but nothing b 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 li 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-hninortals, 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 Ilindostanee language. If the liberality and sound discretion of this part of their offer, do not very forcibly strike the British parliament, some ho nouiable 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 wort precarious 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 manhy, that the noble marquis declared the colony incapable of supporting the expenses of immigration, since it could not, as lie 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 cutive, which if the combined court rejected, the execu tiv e would not gi eat immigrat ion. Suppose that the govern ment candidates had been returned to the two financial sects, 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 fina nc ial 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 check 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 which 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 be taken rashly, but, once taken, must not be receded from: for this tyranny is becoming in supportable, and must be shaken off. 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 off 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 meent,)was imposed some years back, levied far 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, £3,150, 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 l'iar'ly termed fussy, but is not likely to attract many ad herents : for the B,oniisli bishop is so domineering, so un popular, so fond of keeping the management of the funds of his cougregation in his own hands and conducting it in his own way, that his flock are not likely to fall into the trap which he has laid for them, or to wish to see a rapacious and irresponsible man entrusted with additional means of spurn ing at them and outraging 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 I»inisters. 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 tninutice 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. Butt now the Romish bishop has sunk so low, as to fawn, in the hopes of pecuniary . aggrandisement, on an authority who p ro f esses 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 debater, and a docile and clever servant ? Are not complaints universal against the uncertainty of the principles on which justice la'administered? Which of the most experienced of the practicioners at the bar, can cal pulate the future decisona 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 Hollauct? 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 011 the defects or inefficeney of the executive government. It is sufficient to have proved that, while the revenue is annually falling off, and the pxpenditure inpreasing, it is only immigration, and an equal division of taxes, that could have enabled us to bear the !Auden 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 oc our creole popu lation, who will be satisfied with emoluments 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, arid give them after they retire, an allowance which they shall spend for the benefit of lands with which we have no manner of sympathy, , . t POST-CWFICF, PENNY may prove an awk ward thing to give or Iciid 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 be 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 420, 4 11 4 any man may apprehend him. Ile 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 fraudulently erased, cut, scraped, discharged, or gotten.
