RAJAH BROOKE AND THE GOVERNORSHIP

OF LABUAN.

We find inn parliamentary return just issued th©
following copy of a despatch, dated the 6th day of No-
vember, 1852, from Sir John rakington to Sir James
Brooke :

" Sir,—Tier Majesty's government have recently hail
under their cocsideration the comparatively large annual
expenditure incurred by this country for the support of the
government of Labuan, and have come to the conclusion
that the existing civil establishment of the colony ought to
be reduced to • seal, more commensurate with its actual re-
quirements, and with its limited extent and population. The
present establishment of the settlement includes, as y-ni are
aware, both a governor and a lieutenant-governor, each
receiving considerable salariis. Adverting to the cendition
and prosrects of the colony, her Majesty's government
are of opinion that one such functionary, with a moderate
salary, very considerably lower than that which you have
hitherto received, is us much as is required. In accordance
with these views, I have to acquaint you that her Majesty
will be advised to relieve you from the office which you hold
of Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Island of
Labuan from the close of the present year. In announcing
to you this intention, I have to convey to you the assurance
of her Majesty's government that they neither overlook nor
undervalue the imoor.ant services you have rendered in the
formation and establishment of this settlement, and that, in
deciding to advise the Queen to dispense with your further
services as its governor, they are iafluenced only by the
considerations to which I have referred.—l have the ho-
nour, &c.—Joss S. PAKINGTON."

' reform."—Mr. Dickenson and his conservative supporters

VANE that they should vote for Lord ADOLPUVS.
The hearts of many an honest and intelligent citizen
of Durham burned within him on the promulgating
of this inftlent ukase; murmurs swelled into open
mutiny, and the mutineers at length resolved to set
the Marquis and his minions at defiance, and to try
whether among the constituency there were
not a sufficient number of consistent and
independent-minded men to defeat his lord-
ship's nominee. The details of the struggle
which ensued have recently formed the subject of
inquiry before an election committee, and they now
form an instructive chapter in the records of corrup-
tion for 1853. The committee found that the return
of Lord ADOLPHUS VANE had been procured by re-
sort to the vilest methods, and that he must conse-
quently be declared unseated. A new writ has con-
sequently issued, in order that the experiment of
lordly nomination or molar election may be tried
once more.

Nothing has been done in the interim to curb
the insolence of intimidation or to check the lawless..
ness of corruption. What will happen this time we
know not ; but the valedictory address of Lord
ADOLPHUS leaves no room to doubt that the here-
ditary pretensions of the VANE family were never
less likely to be renounced or abandoned.
In the West of England another vacancy has
occurred regarding which we may venture to augur
better things. The old manufacturing town of
Stroud has never been degraded by the same sub-
serviency to aristocratic nomination that charac-
terises unfortunately so many other places. It
will not have been forgotten that, when driven by
landlord influence in 1833 out of the representa-
tion of North Devonshire, Lord JOHN RUSSELL was
elected by the people of Stroud, and that he con-
tinued to sit for the borough until the general elec-
tion in 1841. At the last dissolution, Lord Monvrox,
son of the respected and lamented Free-trader Earl
DUCIE, was elected, after a sharp contest, as the
colleague of Mr. PouLETT SCHOPE. His lordship's
accession to thc earldom of DuciEhasonce more caused
a vacancy in the representation of the town. Several
candidates are or were in the field; but there is one
whose pre-eminent claims on the ground of personal
fitness we confidently hope may be recognised as
they deserve by the electoral body. We need hardly
say that we allude to Mr. HORS3IAN, whose exclu-
sion from Parliament was one of the most discredit-
able results connected with the last general elec.-
tion. Every one in the least degree acquainted
with the Parliamentary history of the last ten years
must be well aware of the eminent services rendered
by Mr. HoasM►N to the cause of truth and right.
Corruption and intimidation achieved indeed many
scandalous triumphs last July; but it accomplished
none whose announcement was received by all true
friends of the people with more indignation and dis-
gust than that which excluded Mr. HORSHAN from
the House of Commons. It is for the people of
Stroud to repair that injustice.
London, England, 1853-06-15

TURKEY.

Count Panin, Minister of Justice for the Russian
empire, arrived at Paris on Saturday from St. Pc-
tersburgh. The Dekae states that he is charged
with a special mission to the French government.
Count Amedee du Roscoat, of the department of Fo-
reign Affairs, has left Paris for St. Petersbargh with
despatches for the French embassy.
The German papers, confusing all notion' of diplo-
matic intervention, continue to assert that Austria
will mediate in the Russian and Turkish affair.
Count de Leiningen has again been called from
Cracow, and it is said that he is to be sent on a
mission to St. Petersburg.
The note delivered by the Porte to the represen-
tatives of the four powers, when Menchikoff left, has
been published. The Porte declares that she intends
to reinforce her army, and to take all the necessary
measures for self-defence, and makes an appeal to
the powers who signed the treaty of 1841, cherish-
ing the firm hope that on this occasion these powers
will decide that right and justice are on her side.
There is no need to contradict again the loose state-
ments which too easily gain currency in some quar-
ters respecting the advance of the British and French
squadrons to Constantinople. It is well known that
by the treaty of 1841 the powers reciprocally bound
themselves to maintain the ancient principle of
Turkish right by which all vessels of war are ex-
cluded from the Dardanelles and Bosphorus in time
of peace. Let the Sultan notify that the Emperor
of Russia has declared war against him or has com-
mitted some overt hostile ant, and the united squa-
drons may advance to the Golden Horn without violat-
ing treaty engagements. It takes the mail steamer
16 hours to accomplish the distance between the
Dardanelles and the port of Constantinople. It is
computed that a squadron of sailing vessels which
might have to tack would be from 24 to 30 hours in
traversing the same distance. A steam-boat is three
hours from Constantinople through the
straits of the horns into the Black Sea. If we
double or treble this time for a squadron wo shall
arrive at the following result :—From Bunts Bay
to Constantinople, 30 hours ; from Constantinople to
the Black Sea, 9 hours ; in all, less than two days.
Sincethepresentation of the Ruasiannotementioned
yesterday in the Ezpresa as having been deli-
vered to the French court, and in which the Czar an-
nounces the approaching occupation of the Danubian
provinces, the immediate interest of the Turkish
question turns upon the view likely to be taken of
that act by Turkey and the western powers when it
shall have been accomplished. At present the French
government has not publicly declared in an official
manner its views upon this subject. As far, however,
as we may judge by the sentiments expressed in its
best accredited organs, the government of the French
Emperor would see in the occupation of the Danubian
provinces a declaration of war.

SWITZERLAND.

The Federal Council has received an address from
fifty Swiss non-commissioned officers and soldiers
now serving in the first regiment of the foreign le-
gion in Algeria, offering their services to fight for
their country in case of a declaration of war.
It is said that their example will be fol-
lowed by the Swiss of the second legion,
and it is not doubted that this demonstration
will exercise an influence upon the foreign re-
giments in the service of the King of Naples.
It is hoped that France, following the precedents set
some years ago in the case of the Poles and Hunga-
rians then in the foreign legions of the French army,
would interpose no difficulties in the way of the Swiss
who might now desire to take part in a struggle for
their country's independence.

The English stock market remains extremely firm,
and an upward tendency is still observable. Consols,
after being sold at 1004 for money, have since been
buyers at 101 for time, and are now quoted 1004
to 101 for money and account, with a firm appearance.

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 20th contains a circular
addressed by the new Minister of the Interior to the
governors of provinces. The document is too like
all other circulars from the Spanish Home-office to
need analysis. M. Egana especially recommends
the governors to " concede to the periodical press the
greatest latitude for the examination of all acts
which fall legitimately within the domain of public
opinion, and at the same time to defend from attacks,
according to the laws in force, the sacred rights of
religion, the royal family, public morality, and the
honour of private life"—the very words of his pre-
decessor, one of the most vigilant persecutors the
Madrid press ever knew.
The Nacion states that the Ministers of War, the
Interior, and Finance in the last cabinet, although
only a few weeks in poswer, made upwards of 600
nominations to public places—the greater part of
them, especially in the army, being of unworthy
persons, and a number of meritorious employee
having been distnifised to make room for them. A
letter states that capitalists were making advances of
funds to the government for the service of the
ensuing month.
Letters from Vienna state that M.
,Ayllon, desig-
nated by General Lersandi to the Spanish Foreign-
office, declines the precarious honour.

ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.
By the arrival here this forenoon of the Royal
Mail steamer Asia, Lott commander, we have adviees
from New York to the 6th inst. The Asia, besides
tho usual mails from the United States, which are
under the charge of Lieutenant Lewis, R.N., Ad-
miralty agent, brings about 40,000 dols. in specie on
freight, and upwards of 100 passengers.
The United States mail steam•ehip Arctic, which
sailed hence on the 23rd ult., arrived at New York
on the sth inst.

The Cunard screw steamer Andes, from this port for
Boston and New York, arrived at Boston on the 6th
inst.

On the 10th inst. tho Asia passed the screw steam-
ship
Alps, hence for Boston and New York.
The conflicting statements brought by the last
steamer from America respecting the occurrences that
had taken place at Greytown, Nicaragua, arising
out of the duopute between the inhabitants and the
Vanderbelt Transit Company, are by this arrival
placed on their proper level. The statement that
Captain Hollins, of the United States' sloop-of-war
Cyane, bad taken possession of Greytown, now turns
out to rest on no other foundation than that of hie
sending some marines ashore to protect the' Amen.
can Transit Company's property. from the summary
treatment it was about to receive from the inhabit-
ants of Greytown.
Prior to the sailing of the Asia a rumour had
reached Now York, from Washington, to the effect
that the Cyane had captured an English sloop-of-
war, but no credit was attached to the truthfulness
of the report.
The American frigate Saranac had got ashore near
Savannah, and fears were entertained that she would
be lost. _ - _

General Santa Anna, accompanied by the deputa-
tion sent to invite his return to Mexico, left Ha-
vaunah on tho 28th ult. for Vera Cruz in the British
mail steamer Avon.

The warlike preparations and movements that had
been going forward for some time past in Honduras
and Guatemala, in view of having to resort to arms
at last as the means of settling their differenete, have
at length eventuated in a battle, and Honduras has
been victorious.

SPORTING AT OXFORD.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE EXPRESS.

Sts,—One by one places suitable for air and exer-
' cise are being taken away from the University and citizens
of Orford. Ballingdon has been enclosed, and they talk of
enclosing Port Meadow, and now the shady dells and green
glades of Bagley Wood are closed up, and boards without
and keepers within warn University and townsmen from a
place which they have enjoyed lir centuries. And this is
done, not that the wood may be ploughed up (in that case I
I should not have troubled you with this note), but that the
President and Fellows of St. Johu'a College may enjoy a
better day's shooting. Yes, sir, it is for this selfish reason
that we are excluded from the most pleasant haunt near
Oxford. The University and rity maj Puffer, but what
does it signify, if the sporting propensities of the Fellows of
St. John's are gratified 1 On one occasion I was myself
warned out of the wood by ono of these clerical but sport-
ing personages.
Hoping that you will be able to insert this grievance, I
enclose my card, and remain your obedient servant,

SMITHFIELD MARKET.-THIS DAY.

We have a larger number of Beasts than on Monday last,
but there is very little improvement in the quality. The
demand IA considerable, and the choicest descriptions aro
again rather dearer. There is a larger supply of Sheep,
and trade is very dull ; it is exceedingly difficult to main-
tain late quotations. Lamb is readily disposed of, at
fully late rates. Them is no alteration in the Ca trade.
Frew Germany and Holland there are 90G Boasts, and 760
Sheep ; Spain, 340 Sheep ; Scotland, 100 Beasts ; Norfolk
and Suffolk, 1,100; and' 80 from the Northern and Mid-

THE FISCAL QUARTERS OF THE YEAR.

TO Till IDITOIL OP Till TIPILIST.
SIR,—Now that the Chancellor of the Exchequer',
is getting rid of his " patriarchal" stocks, pray sug-
gest to him that it would be a fit opportunity to get
rid also of his " patriarchal" mode of reckoning the
financial quarters of the years.
There was a " patriarchal" time whcn the church
feasts formed our sole guide in calendar matters, and
the Lady-day, St. John's-day, St. Michael's-day,
Christmas-day ended, naturally enough, the quarters
of the year ; but when the alteration of the style
took place it was absurd to keep up still Old Lady-
day, 3th April ; Old St. John's-day, sth July ; Old
St. Michael's-day, 10th Oct. ; Old Christmas-day,
sth Jan. (in another year). Then can anything be
more puzzling than the year 1852 ending sth Jan.,
1853. Why not end our quarters 31st March, 30th
Jane, 30th September, 31st December, as all the rest
of the world do ?—Your obedient servant,
April 16, 1853. X.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The commercial advice, brought by the Asia represent
business generally in a lair condition throughout the
Union.

The market for American securities has been inani-
mate, and transactions have been far from extensive.
Prices arc weak, and the tendency is downwards.
In exchanges a moderate amount of business bad been
done ,for the Asia at the following rates ; —On London,
lu9i to BM!, with an upward tendency; Paris, 5.11;
Hamburg, 3b to 3oi ; Bremen, 791 to 791.
'the market for breadstutts was active, and prices were
very firm at the following quotations:—Western Canal
Hour, 7 dole. 621 c. to 7 dole. 75c. per barrel; Oennessee
prime wheat, I dol. 22c. to 1 dol. 21c. per fklbs.; Indian
corn, round yellow, Glc. to GGc. per bushel ; Indian meal,
3 dole. to 3 Cols. 121 c. per bit
In the cotton market at New York a brisk business has
been done, and a good average amount of transactions has
taken place. Prices have lately advanced, as will be seen
by the following quotations:—Sew Orleans and Mobile,
mid ta:r to fair, Lie. to 121 c. per lb. ; Uplands, mid fair to
fair, 111 c. to 111 e. This advance and firmness in the cotton
market was caused by the decrease in the receipts tl.at had
taken place, and the unfavourable accounts that bad been
received of the planting season.
The transaetioes in the provision market have been to a
fair extent eine° the departure of the previous steamer, but
prices have been weak.
In freights there is little change to note. Prices remain
much the smut) as last reported. The following arc the
asking rates:—To Liverpool—Flour, 2s. 9.1. to 3s. per
barrel; grain, Gl.l. to 7d. per bushel ; cotton, Id. to 5-16 d.
per lb. To Havre—Cotton, lc. to le. per lb.

LIVERPOOL AND PUILADELPIIIA.-- Shortly after
neon, on Saturday, the City of OLtsgow, Capt. Wylie (one
cf the Liverpool and Philadelphia line of screw steamship►)

NIOLDAVIA.

The last accounts front Moldavia announce the
complete re-establishment of the reigning Prince
Gregoire Ghika, as well as his return to Jassy. The
entry of the Hospodar to the capital was a complete
triumph. All the inhabitants went outside the town
to await his arrival, and accompanied him to the
pal ice amidst the most enthusiastic cries, while
showers of flowers were thrown from the balconies
as he passed. In the evening the town was illumi-
nated.

The resolution of M. Oersted, in accordance with
the royal message, was passed a third time in the
Danish Diet, the majority being 111 votes, the
minority one.

EGYPT.

From Alexandria, the correspondent of the Del/zeds
writes, on the 3rd, that the Viceroy is a very calm
spectator of the events which aro proceeding ut Con-
stantinople, but has completed the earfres of the
army, and raised the garrison of Alexandria to its
full complement of 20,000 men. The negotiations of
Edhem Paella, who is still at Constantinople, with
the Divan, continue. Letters from Cairo of the 31st
ult. state that the last despatches received by Abbas
Paella from his envoy announce a complete success.
The Porte, it is alarmed, grants to Abbas Pacha a
title which will give him rank above all the governors
general of provinces, and even above the Grand
Vizier himself. The power of life and death granted
lately to Abbas Pacha for five years and under re-
strictiocs, is to be mado absolute and for life.
Finally, says the same authority, the Viceroy is in-
vested with full authority over the family of Me-
hemet Ali.

THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 18, 1853.

book of devotion, which works, of course, figu:e upon
the list of books prohibited to enter the dominions of
his Holiness. Tue severity with which the custom-
house regulations, with regard to books, are now ,
enforced, recently gave rise to some seizures of
Bibles amoegst the baggage belonging to English
travellers, disembarking at Civita Vecchia, and
coming on to Rome for the Easter ceremonies.
Complaints were subsequently made to Mr. Freeborn,
who remonstrated with the police authorities on the
subject, and obtained from them en admission that it
was only reasonable for a protestant to have one
Bible with him, for his own use, according to his own
creed. The confiscated Bibles and Prayer-books were
consequently restored, and there is every reason to
beli"vc that in future this unnecessary war against
the Bible, as individual property, will be disconti-
nued, and protestants allowed to travel with the
sacred book in their possession, provided they make
no use of it for propagandist purposes.
Having thus had occasion to mention the exertions
of the British consul, I must not neglect to say a
word in reply to a paragraph in one of the Sunday
papers, quoting a letter addressed to the Times, by
some second Biffin, accusing Mr. Freeborn of charg-
ing file paula (2 shillings and 3d.) as a fee for the
vista of British passports. Before bringing an accu-
sation amounting to an insinuation of extortion, this
economical traveller should have ascertained whe-
ther the consul was legally authorised to make the
charge or not. He would only have had to refer to
the act of parliament 6 George IV., ch. $7, to find
the whole tariff of consular fees laid down, and
his two-and-threepenny regrets would probably
have vanished altogether had ho been aware
that Mr. Freeborn, although legally entitled
to the fee from everybody, invariably exempts
from it missionaries, friars " black, white, and
grey," servants, and all individuals of limited
' means, besides (with due reverence for art) all British
artists who apply to him for vistas to their passports.
This liberality ought the more to be appreciated,
' when it is recollected that Mr. Fretiorn, although
; he has occupied his difficult post for two-and-twenty
years, is as yet an unsalaried agent ; but if, in spite
of these reflections, the gentleman who complained
to the Times should still think the tariff passport fee
an undo() infliction, or should, although affording to
travel on the continent, be seriously incommoded by
paying two-and-threepence, I can only advise him to
make his next appearance in Rome with a friar's
beads or a painter's palette in his hand, when he will
' be gratified by beholding the magic word gratis ap-
pended to his passport.

ASYLUM FOR ImoTe.—Yeeterday the annual ge-
neral meeting of the governors of this institution was held
at the London Tavern ; Alderman Sir George Carroll,
Bart, in the chair. The chairman in particular called on
those present to contribute to a fund for building an ade-
quate establishment, as from the want of accommodation at
Park House, Highgate, the managers had fund it neces-
sary to take a second house in the neighbourhood of Col-
chester, and bad not, notwithstanding the addition, suffi-
cient room for the requirements of the charity. The re-
port stated that there were at present 220 inmates in the
asylum, and that the funds of the charity enabled them to
increase the number to 240, by the election of 20 from •
' list of 188 candidates. These are in a measure literally in-
structed, and are taught basket-making, sewing, embroi-
dery, tailoring, shoe-making, &a. The specimens exhibited
showed considerable skill in their execution, and bore ample
testimony to the care and zeal of the teachers who had so
far educated idiot pupils. At the conclusion of the poll the
same@ of the successful candidates were declared and the
proceedings terminated with a vote hanks to the
ehatriann.

DEATH FROM STARVATION.—On Saturday last
Mr. Coroner Swann held an inquest at Arnold, over the
body of John Rudin, an infant, four mouths old. The
father of the deceased was a framework-knitter, who had
lived apart from his wife seven months. The child was
born in the Nottingham union, and about five weeks after
the mother was passed to the Tewkesbury union, the place
of her settlement. Hese she remained some weeks, and
was then turned out, whereupon she walked and begged
her way to Nottingham. She suckled the child, but al-
though it was a very fine one at its birth, it became thin
and emaciated. The journey occupied a fortnight, and on
their arrival at Arnold the child was delivered in a most
deplorable condition to its grandmother, who did every-
thing which lay in her power to restore it, but without
avail. It languished till the afternoon of the Ilth inst., and
then expired. Mr. Allen, surgeon, made • post rnoriens
examination of the body, from the result of which be gave
it as his opinion that the child had died from want of
the breast, and proper natural nourishment. Verdict,
"That the deceased died of starvation for want of proper
food and nourishment, clothing, and cleanlineu, through
the poverty of its mother, and not from criminal neglect."
