TSB BEST LEGISLATION:

(From the We4ly Dispatch.)
We, therefore, as counsellors, not flatterers, of the
people, repeat the caution, now more than ever neceesary,
not to look to mere constitutional changes kg any material
improvement of the social or political condition of the coun-
try. Parliamentary reform gives power, but cannot impart
*Wow. " With ell thy gottinga," says the wise man, " get
understanding." what is chiefly wanted is, legato achieve the
possession of the function of govenmsent, then the sagacity
,bleb directs Its right use. To et electors to choose is the most
importances It la the most difilmalt, mission of legislation.
To make the people not merely knowing but wise; to make
them industrious and virtuous rather than ingenious and
enterprieing ; to be man anxious shout the nadoual character
than about oar imperial groaner ; to seek to distinguish the
people more by their love of truth, justice, and philanthropy,
than by the glitter of conquest, or the glare of wealth—these
are the only real securities for making their political power
not • cures, but a biasing. That legidstion can de
much for this hes been our chief TOM= for desiring
for the people the power of making our lows; but to
know how, by legislation, this, consummation la to be at-
tained, is beyond and above suffrages and ballot-boxes. As
a clan skin is next to • clear conscience, as to improve the
materiel condition of the people, and to renews the atarac-
tic's' which stead to the way of their improving themeelves,
Is to afford free course for the due development of their
higher moral quslitke. To this a change in our laws may
essentially eentribate, end this should be the drat use made
of an extended Mathis°. To abolish entails end primogeni-
ture, to alter the laws of succeed/re, to restore to
women their legal and social rights, to make jus-
tice cheep and simple, and to discourage litigiouences
by arbitration, to make the transfer of the soil easy, safe
sod inconsiderable in cost, to deal with the mown and
the wale Linde so as to brag them into the market, and let
the people get on them, to revise our poor-law union system,
our educational provisions, our coclesiadital economy, so as
especially to make our clergy more eloquent, instructive,
able and attractive, so as better to adapt religion and ethics
to the real bainees of life—these see some of the Malts
,t which we should like to see gathered by oar new gleaners
in the seed add of politics.

MEXICO.

- -
By telegraph from New Orleans, we have later
news from Mexico. The government is represented
to be in very straitened circumstances, having
been forced to suspend payment at the custom-houses
of Vera erns and the city of Mexico. The new
constitution was promulgated on the 1 Ith of March.
Nothing had yet been heard at the capital of the re-
jection of the Forsyth treaties. Relations with
Great Britain continue in an unsettled state, and it
is reported that the inevitable Banta Anna has
numerous emissaries in the country.

CHINA.

(rams sea own coax/frowns/iv.)
HONG KONG, Sim. 10.
Since the date of my Letter we have very little of
excitement or incident, and wait anxiously for
the end of the month, when we may rea-
sonably expect to see Lord Elgin back from India.
About the same time we look for the advent of the
Hon. Mr. Reed from the United States and Baron
Gros from France, when the three diplomatists will
probably make " • fair start" for Pekin. It
is said that the Emperor has intimated by
the vermilion pencil that he knows what
is going on, that he will not receive any
embassy, and will leave the barbarians
to do their best or worst—he, deluded creature,
is prepared to resist force by force. It is to
be hoped that no warlike measures will be at-
tempted until we have an overpowering force. To
take Canton will be no difficult matter; but the
attempt to hold without a sufficient military force
will end in disgrace—we must not despise the im-
mense disparity of numbers. If Lord Elgin's mission
of peace and diplomacy to Pekin fails—a result which
everyone here anticipates, war on a large scale
will and must be looked for, and it is notorious that
several Russian officers have recently reached Pekin,
under pretext of being en route to the Russian
settlement at the mouth of the Amoor river.
The blockade of the Canton river is strictly
observed. Some prize junks have been taken while
attempting to break the blockade.
Mr. Taramt, the editor and proprietor of the
Friend of Chino, was convicted at the criminal
session of a libel on Dr. Bridges, acting colonial se-
cretary, and sentenced to pay a fine of 1001. to the
Queen. The amount was at once paid.

they had taken the Futtehpore road, which runs

CLERKENWELL.

Robinson, of Southwood Home, Olotweater.place, Cunha-
ben, was charged with stealing one silver table spoon
sad two silver forks, of the value of 21.6.., the property of

It appeared from the evidence that the printer mewed the
service of Captain Robinson about a month since. On Fri-
day kW the captain gave a dinner party at his residence, and
es Baturday hat the property In question me missed. The
i serveres were told of the loss, when they all di

sweeten nothing of tha missing propeey. Oa the Sunday
the lady of Captain Robinson mined two valuable .

was then that the servants should be marched, and

Captain Rotuma strongly recommended the prisoner to
gamey, mid hoped that the magistrate would deal as Lindsay

Mr. Carrie said he oould not take the recommendatice into
oesidmation. It wee very bad for servants, who won in the
madam of their meatus, to go on pilfering. and the wont
part of the matter was that innocent persons were tionected

soon of 2,0001. appropriated to the directors under the *e-
nurement sanctioned by the Honourable East India Com-
pony was paid to the superintending director, and the re-
mainder divided among the other members of the board.
Upon Mr. Nicholson's retirement, the board availed them-
selves of the opportunity to carry out certain arrongements,
having the object of giving greater security in the froma-
ges' of the company's sham and transfer busbies, but the
effect of which was to add to the dutim and increase the re-
aponeibili of the chairman. The salary of the secretary has
been fixed at 7001. per annum, and the board would suggest
that the 1,3001. which remains should be allowed to the
London direction for the purpose* above alluded to. Mr.
William Bird, the auditor, who would have been in rotation
to retire at the half-yearly meeting in April next, has been
prevented by severe indisposition from auditing the amounts
now submitted, and he has tendered his resignation ea indi-
go. It will rest with the meeting to fIU the vacancy of
auditor thus occssioned. The statement of amounts in rela-
tion to capital and revenue, for the half-year ended 30th Jane

by Mr. Anderton, the remaining auditor; and have also been
examined with the Nets of ttii company hy the acoountants

The capital account (combined London and Bombay no-

The following is from Assam, dated September
10th:—" The fearful rebellion has cast its dark shadow over
our hitherto peaceful valley, although as yes we are spared
Its dread reality. The first intelligence that • conepiracy had
been disooverod in Upper AM= came upon us like a than-
der-clap, and immediate end energetic measures were judi-
ciously adopted at all the stations, and the crisis we now
trust, has passed. Colonel Hannay has entrenched himself
with his Ooorkhaa at Debroogbur, and sent off hie Hindoo-
statue Sepoys to Jule, where thee are no European resi-
dents. Actual mutiny bus not broken out at any statics,
but all feel that they are on a volcano. All is outwardly
quiet just now, and everyone tries to feel secure, elthough
great alarm actually exists, for there is not a European
soldier in the province. It Is said that Kooar Sing is the
instigator of the plot discovered
" The Mies have left Nowgong for Howbetty. There a
volunteer force has been formed, consisting of the residents
and 00020 few native' in high position. We are hoping a
steamer may soon be up, end that things may be kept so till
them, but our position is certainly very shaky.

from Upper Assam to the huge jail lea Central Maim."

(FROM OUR OWN 110111111PONDI

SOUTHAYPTON, 9•naDAT.

The Magdalena has arrived with the West India
Iler dates arc:—Jamaica, September 27;

Demerara, 26 ; Trinidad, 23; St. Thomas, 28. The
specie on board consists of 433,803 dole. in silver,
and 391,933 dole. in gold.
From Demerara we learn that gold had not yet
been found in the British territory ; the expedition
under government auspices had not yet been able to
report progrees. A second expedition, to proceed
by another route, was on the ece of departure.
The import breadstuff and provision market at
Demerara was ruling at high prices ; wages were
high and labourers much wanted. The canes were
yielding badly, owing to the late rains, but dry
weather had now set in. Sugar was Arm; freights
low.

From Chili there is no news of general ;iterest.
At Peru the question between Catena and
Vivanco was still unsettled. Vivanoo is making
efforts to enable him to take possession of the Chinas
islands and raise funds by the indiscriminate sale of

guano. If he succeeds he will prolong the settle-
ment of the revolution and embalms Qat.lle.
About eighty thousand tons of shipping were load-
ing guano at the Chinches.
The export of guano for the month of August was
nearly 40,000 tons. The Peruvian government have
appointed commissioners to investigate charges
against the consignee of their guano in London,
Perim, and New York. The result of this investi-
gation will be, it is expected, a rise in the price of
guano.

Cholera had broken out in the Guatemalan army
after the latter had expelled the American filibusters,
and it had extended oN er a great portion of the
country. In consequence of this, the exportation of
large quantitiee of cochineal had been delayed. The
troops, believing they had been poisoned, had mad-
tried, but the mutiny had been put down. The
cochineal crop is above the average.
The proposed railway in Honduras is popular
throughout British Honduras. The export of
mahogany has been reduced in consequence of the
bad season. A great increase in the manufacture

of sugar and rum has taken place. Jamaica has
been •isited with heavy rains, and business was
suspended in consequence. The brig Mai), w•as
last.

At St. Thomas the yellow fever had subsided.
Disturbances had taken place in consequence of the
re-opening of the Catholie chapeL
At Trinidad there had been very heavy rains. The
report of the troops was not favourable.

At Barbudas the rains had act in with much
vigour. The planters anticipate an avenge crop.

PRUSSIA.

The following despatch, dated the 12th, was
addressed by Baron de Mantenffel, president of the
Council of Ministers in Prussia, to M. do Kampta,
Prussian ehargh d'affaires at Hamburg, to explain
why the government of Berlin refused to lend
money to that city in the late crisis:
By a telegraphic despatch of the 3rd you announced tome
that the Senate has rewired to rend to Berlia the President
of the Chamber, M. Mohring, to obtain from us a loin of
I from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 theirs. M. Mobring called on
me the 4th on the subject, and offered tee as security notes of
the chamber and railway shares. I immediately deliberated
on the stair with the other ministers. We bed a strong
desire to acquiesce la the demand of a iffsaally teen,
connected with oar government by se miry in-
terests, and we know that fn aiding the eastunsreo
of Hamburg we shoats be asetal to that of Praia. Never-
theless, we could set divides from ourselves that In accord-
ing the ken ap,bsd furors sheild diminish suss power of
auditing oar own ee•mmeo sad menutestarsn sod that if
the Hamburg has proved insufficient, grave I.llblirriMF
MOM might sties teem Prnuia. Now, we felt ounriamd
that the Ma dinended by the town of Humbug wadi not
be sufficient ; our deliberation in fact was intermitted by the
new. that Hamburg proposed to borrow a ram of 10,000,000
mercy bunco. It was therefore impossible to come to a de-
cision in the find sitting. When M. Mohr* relsweed be
Berlin, sitar the town of Hamburg had decreed a loss at
16,000,000 mares bunco, we declared that the state of ow
financial enehilehmsute did not permit us to groat a lama

under inkling eireamstances. The National Baal
el Austria, whkh wee not embarrassed by the Name
eircumertanoes as the Prusian Bank, relative to the main-
Hon of Its notes, could lend to Hamburg 10,000,000 mares.
Notwithstanding that, we oould not, to our great regret, in-
dulge in the hope that the situation of Hamburg would be.
come butantaneonely better; and, in point of fact, the autho-
rities there are now deliberating on the estraordinuy
measures to be taken to maintain some of the moat Important
gems. Allow no doubt to exist se to our manner of regard-
log the question; in spite of all our sympathy, sad all our
good will, we should not have been able to afford each aerie-
lance u would onsore an energetic, efficacious, and durable
remedy.

The Zeit of Berlin confirms the rumour that the
opening of the Pruirian Chambers is definitively
fixed for the 12th January.
