COLONIAL CENTRALIZATION.—There are strong
grounds for believing that ministers contemplate extensive
changes in the government of the colonies. We are informed
that the following may be taken as part, at least, of the
plane now under consideration. That all the possessions in
North America, shall be placid under one bed—name ly, a
Viceroy, with Quebec for the seat of government. The
governur of the different provinces to be located at Toronto,
Frtdericktets, Ilalifax, St. John, and Charlotte-town. That
the like system of centralisation be extended to the Wen
India Islands, the Viceroy to reside in Jamaica, and each
is'and to have its own governor. Each prov:aca and
island respectively to have its own legislature for strictly
local purposes, and bare the privilege of sending reprcen
t t lite to general Legislative Asaemblies in Quebec or Jamaica,
or in our Imperial Parliament. It is thought, should these
changes be carried out, that Prince George of Cambridge
"ill tie appointed to the Vicir valty of British North

Nonni l'ot..tr. ExenntrloN.—The following letter
has been addressed by Sir John Ross to the President of the
Astronomical Society —" Sir,—l beg leave to submit the
following plan and proposal t, the President and Council of
the Royal Astronon.ical Society far their consideration :
The measurement of an arc of the meridian had long beer, a

which could not be put in execution by the hitherto
adopted. I have now to inform the president and c merit
of the Rural Astronomical society, that I has., sub-
mitted a plan to the Min:calve fur carrying Into exe-

President and Council of the Ithyal Astronomical Sock ty,
they will be pleased to signify to me their opinion on the
importance of the objects in question, and such a recommeo-

ACT F.s l'umr.—A grievous want of the age is
a sleek exchange for dealers in literary wares and secu-
rities ; not so much for the sako of R place of meeting, as for
the autkoriaed city quotations. The utmost uncertainty
hangs over, ne.t only prices, hut the very nature of literary
property; which a stock exchange committee might deter-
mine by the timple act of publication in their:ists. At pre;
sent the literature is oft.:ct merely ancillary to the stationery
business. A man wishes to 'et off regularly iar,e rnppa, s of
piper; he causes it to he printed as newspaper, and in that
shape it is bought: it ought to be quoted as so much ,
" decay," or as "Journal."—Spectator.

RE-APPEARANCE OF TILE POTATO DPEASE.—A

munieites the int^lligence that the potato disease continues
its attacks on fresh crops :

London Tavern end several other establishments.

Fricii.—l.ast evening, a fire (which at first
threatened eeri,oin consequences) broke oat in the bakeLoure
of Mr. Wymer, 70. Leataer-lane. A good supply of water

ROBLIERT AT PRICE AND CO.'s B.tNKING-DOCSE.—
On urday, between three and four o'clock a robbery was
committed In the banking-home of Sir Charles Price and
Co., King William-street, City. A lady named 'lB,lll
came to the counter of the bank at the time in question, to
obtain cash for • cheque of 1211. Having received twenty
Bank of Englend notes of 51. each, she placed them in a
side pocket, r.fter which 25 'sovereigns were given, which she
counted, and was in the act of placing them in the same
pocket, whet: to her dismay she found that the 100/. in notes
had been taken from her pocket. She stated her loss, and
an alarm was vices, when a lad, who was present, stated
that he observed two genteelly-attired men, who had been
previously cr.:razed in conversation, walk up to the lady,
rake her dress white she was in the act of counting the
gold, take the note. from her pocket and walk off. Imme-
diate search was made after the villains, but they have not
yet been apprehended.
IleilrEsT, SaTURDAY.—UNrOC/CDED ell.tllGE.—By
Mr. W. l'ayne, in the Giltspeir-street Compter, correniing
the death of John Davie, s prirmer committed for 11 dare
on the 18th instant, for begging in Cornhill. AN the coroner
and jury were proceeding across the yard to the room in
which the body lay, several of the prisoners cried out through
the grating o. en adjoining ward that the man (the de-
ceased) bad been murdered by the bad treatment he had
received, and mentioned, at the ...Me time, the names of
several prisoners who cool! give evidence of the fact.
R. Thompson, a prisoner, said that be saw the deceased
brought down to the workroom from the infirmary on
Wednesday last, supported by two men, and evidently in a
dying state, his eyes appearing glassy. Witness told Mr.
Crocker, the task-master, that the deceased was in a dying
state, and that he was unable to work, and the reply was,
that he moot go on with his work—that he was an imporor
—sad that if he did not work his victual should be
stopped. Demised sold that Lis dinner had already been
stopped. He sat on the' form, unable to pick the oakum
' which was given to him, and witness, after putting
his name down for the doctor, saw him taken to the
infirmary. Nearly all night witness heard him overhead
crying out for water, but neether the surgeon nor inty.ef the
officers went to him.—James McWelliam, also a prisoner,
raid that the deceased and he, when brought into the prison,
were taken into the infirmary for the itch, and were rent
down into the work-room on Wednesday. While in the
infirmary, deceased repeatedly asked the assistant-surgeon
for medicine, lint none whatevsr was given to him.—Do-
ceased told Lim that he had five complaints, two of which
were dropsy and rheumatism.—Mr. Idelelurdo, the surgeon,
raid the deceased was not believed to be seriously ill. He
died an Friday, in a fit, canned, as a post mortens examina-
tion proved, by disesre of the brain. He certainly did not
want medicine.—Mr. Holding, the assistant-surgeon, denied
that the deceased had asked for medicine, and that he had
been refused.—Mr. McMurdo said the witness Thompson
who made the charge, had threatened to "serve him
i
out." for refusing to recommend his discharge on the
ground of ilinees.—The jury, after a short consultatiou, re-
turned a verdict of " Died from natural MILKS."

WiIALINO.
This is a subject which of late has been greatly
before the public. It began in the Aberdeen Journal, in
consequence of the return of the ships from the Greenland
fishery to that and other northern port. This was followed
by the formation of a chartered company in London, of
which Mr. Thomas Baring was the president ; and lastly,
by a plan to form a whaling station, by the Mesas. Enderby,
in the Auckland Islands, IGO miles south of the New Zealand
I group. Thus there are three 'dins. of which it is proposed to
give an oreount, and to say a little of their merits.
I. Mr. Baring's Company.—By this It was proposed to
raise a capital of 210,00 W., and to engage in the Greenland
as well at, the South Sea trade. It was intended to send out
picked crews. That the best conducted were to succeed to
be mates, and the mates to be promoted to the command of
ships. All this put of the arrangement was excellent. Then
it was thought that the average of voyages would yield a pro-
fit in a trade which was often attended with individual low—
and great reliance wax placed upon the better arrangement
made by a company and directors on a great seals than can
possibly be done in any single ship. Still there were two
difficulties which could not be obviated; lst., the severity of
the climate of the Greenland seas. ; 2nd, the necessity of
fitting out a whaling ship from the northern hemisphere for
at least four years without the chance of any return under
three years. Notwithstanding the mines, respectable in cha-
racter, in wealth, and amongst them gentlemen of great ex-
perience in whaling business, recommended by a charter
from the crown, every attempt to give it vitality has been
adjourned to speak in plainer terms, it has been abandoned.
2. Messrs. Enderby's plan was made known by the
Times of the 13th lost., who, at the time of announcing,
foretold its not being supported. Much is due to the Messrs.
Enderby. Their respected father began the South Sea
whaling business ; their worth, their talents, their means
are univeraillv acknowledged ; so much so, that the French
king. Loui. Philippe, has presented them with a espy of
the magnUicent colic:thin of French marine charts, with
which every French admiral commanding in the Pacific is
furnished; and the Englishgovernment has made them &great
of the Auckland Islands, containing 100,000 acres ; thissmall
group was &a-covered by ono of their whaling ships in 1806.
It is without inhabiteets—believed to have a fertile soil,
and known to enjoy a delicious climate and excel-
lent harbour., and here Messrs. Enderby propose, under
a royal charter, to establish a whaling colony. All this may
occur, but it will take many years to establish. It is not,
therefore, surprising, that the Tines foresees the little chance
which it has of success.
3. Is what may be celled the Aberdeen plan—although the
probability is that it will be taken up at Hull. The pranciple
of their scheme is to avoid the difficulties of Mr. Beriug's
plan, the severity of the arctic regions, or the fitting out of
ships for three or four years, ana yet to take advantage of
the beneficial parts of it, that of promotion of seamen, &c.
I. The plan is to permit no seaman to engage in it who is
not in some proportion a shareowner of the whole venture.
2. None but newly-married men, who arc to take their wives
out with them, and thus pursue the business from their
own doors. 3. None who have not, or who are not, racei.

mated previous to sailing. 4. Like the Ameriean ship, to be
manned by those who hare taken the temper Ince pledge.
5. Neither the men nor their wives to exece4 2. 'can of
age. 6. To carry out a number of shipwright couples subject
to the same qualifications. 7. A few experienced rope-
maken—the same. 8. Sotre fith-eurers.

The whole are to form a colony for the deep sea whale
fishery to be planted in Cook's Stairs, because there there
is abundant tioilicr, and every material for thip.buiiiiing—
because at Wel .:-ton and Nelson there are merchants, from
whom stores can be purchased, and who will be glad at ell
times to buy oil and bone as fast as it is taken. Thus
it is intended to build new ships as fast as the colony is
eatrialislie4, at a spot also where the abominable coasaboat-
killing whale stations OVA a population of bOO British
American and hal'.eiste seamen, who will be found
excellent men, bred in Cie bouts, used to the business with
which to man (Mere ships.
The schema is a v. ry humble one in comparison with
either Mr. Bariug's or Mr. Enderby's: it is at present with.
out powerful names; still it has be n read ti the Chamber of
Como:inn at Hull • it cm be carried into execution so min
as 5,0011. is subscribed for the purchase of the outfit of the
ship and colony. A second will go out as soon as another
5,0091. is raised; it will remain for the suhezri hers to deter-
, mine %slather each should remain as a single sent ire, or
' whether a number should menbine. and thus take atLautsge
of average success, as put forth in Mr. Baring'.
In addition to them advantages it has the iienetit of rya-
, tea:ttic colonisation and aerial emigration. Any young
maple availing thecnselvi a of these prospect's.'
i May fettle
theinnlyes edvantrgeously for the same sum which it wend
prnbahly require to furnish a house • and, instead of the sea-
faring husband enita"irl in the Scan limn inn seas of
the northern hem:soli:re, he w .uld Lc working the whole
}ear round in the lineal climate in Pt: world, and not subject
to be frozen into idleness half his time; whilst the little
colony would ho c .eerful communities ,:f neighbours, with
their own chap:arm and achoilmast.r, mid surgeon.
At Hull it is Mons. Richard Vance and Co., who are
torahs .; a company in small sti UV!, of which any may par-
take, whether intending to so cut in the venture or trot ;
but none will he allowed to einirrk who ace nut shareholders.
Although the colony is to be planted where the mot-boat
fishery is to he carried on, ita pursuit is the drop sea fishery,
so that all serious are the FOIT1:!, and no period, need be de-
termined 0:1 as to arrival, when the coast season begins for
killing the eon what:. with its eel* on the breeding grounds,
a pursuit which should he forbidden by the borne guy:num:tit.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Luc. 23:

The tone of the debate in both houses has, on the
whole, been well received. The landed interests are
pleased with the admission that the calamity has been
regarded by ministers as an iin?eriol burden, and to
be met with the resources of the state. How far,
ho-rever, the principle will be carried is ye t in dark-
ness; and, until Inrd John Russell develops his
scheme of policy for Ireland, the eoa:plement of
lauded satisfaction will not be filled up. There is
still some apprehension, but the exposition of to-night
in the House of Commons will, it is to be hoped,
wholly allay the lever.
Three petitions are about to be issued by the Repro-
ductive Committee; the signatures to be attached
by counties, so as to have parate petitions from each
presented simultaneously to parliament. No.l repre-
sentsthe failure of food—numerous deaths from starva-
tion—the rapid extension of famine—the inefficiency of
e system in operation to control itsprogress, and , with-
out the immediute application of en enectual remedy,
the certainty that a large proportion of the population
will perish. The remedies suggested are those which
ministers have already:propos/A. No. ',then, is anti-
cipated. No. 2 comments on the evils of the Labour-
rate Act—its demoralising and ruinous effects on both
labourer and proprietor—its wasteful and mischievous
expenditure, and still more mischievous consegaences
by abstracting labour from the cultivation of the
soil and incimsin; the probabilities of future
famine—and, lastly, the imposition on property
of a charge which may he indefinitely augmented,
and by drawing no distinction between the ii-
proving and unimprovkg proprietor, it establishes
a principle which militates against individual
exertion and private employment. The remedy pro-
posed consists in such amendments as w'll enable
each proprietor to expend his pre portion of the baro-
nial assessment, in giving employment to the desti-
tute poor generally en any reproductive work, which
will permanently improve the soll' and thus absolve
him from further taxation as to that particularasseas-
ment. No. 3 has been partially anticipated by min-
isters. It represents the justice of viewing the cala-
mity in as imperial tight, and prays " that the landed
prof erty of Ireland may he relieved from so much of ;
the charge imposed upon it by the 9th and 10th Viet,
ch. 107, as has been expended in unproductive works,
and that the same may be transferred to the general
resoui cos of the empire." If the prayer be assented
to, a heavy weight will be removed-front the hearts
of the Irish landlords.
One of Lord Londonderry's " juvenile statesmen,"
Lord Farnham, has issued a circular to his tenantry
calling on them to till theirgmund without delay, and
sow an additional quantity of seed. Ills lordship
promises amistanee in cropping to all who may
require it.
The Central Relief Committee received yesterday
subscriptions to the amount of 6701., and awarded
1,0201. to thirteen counties ; Mayo received 2401.
The markets have exhibited tendencies of a cheer-
ing nature. l'citerday there was a better supply of
" farmers' grain" at the Dublin Corn Exchange than
for several weeks. The sale was unusually dull both !
for this and foreign grain, and though holders were
firm and some of them put by their samples, yet those
who sold were obliged to submit to a reduction—on
I wheat Is., and on oats of fat per barrel. 'File former I
is equal to 2s. per qr. Barley maintained its price.
COMMISSARIAT RELIEF.—The following circular has been
issued from the Commissariat-office, by order of the Com-1
misrary.gcneml, to the secretaries of all the relict commit-
tees in Inland, containing en incrcared ratio of government
donations on private subscriptions fir affording gratuitous
relief, and providing food for sale at first cost, &e. :

LECCOLNSIIIRF-
IiEPRESENTATIO:I OP LINCOLN CITT.—Our local cor-
respondent says there is no truth in the statement which has
gone the round of the papers that Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton
has intimated Ns intention of again presenting himself so a
candidate for the city of Lincoln. The hon. ,baronet has not
visited the city, nor has he had much communication with
hi. former supporters, since his defent in 1841 ; and as, mince
his succession to his mother's property at'Knebwarth, some
influential persons among the Ilerdordahire constituency
have expressed a wish to bring him forward for that county,
it is beheved he will accept their invitation. The result of
the next election for Lincoln will most probably be the return
of Col. Sibthorp and Mr. Charles Seely. The latter is an
extensive miller and corn merchant, who has obtained
promises of ,upport from more than half the
constituency. Mr. Collett, Colonel; Sibthorp's pre.
sent colleague, will, it is said, contest th4o::,ti.
In the COUNTY ItEPURSIINTATION no change is expected.
Sir M. J. Cholmcley, the representative newly elected in
the place of the Earl of Yarborough, and Mr. Christopher,
will not be opposed in the Lindsey division ; and it is be-
lieved that Mr. C. Tumor and Sir John Trollope will " walk
over " for the Parts of Kesteven and Holland. Had the
late Henry Handley been alive, he would most assuredly
hare been returned for the latter division. and Sir John
Trollope, probably, would hay.. retired. As regards the
