[ADVERTISEMENT.] The Earl of Aldborough and
Holloway's Pills.—An astounding cure by this miracu-
lous medicine after every other means had failed.—See
extract from his lordship's letter, dated " Villa Messina,
Leghorn, Feb. 21, 1845. To Professor Holloway. Sir—
I beg to acquaint you that your pills have effected a cure
of a diSorder in my liver and stomach which all the most
eminent of the faculty at home and all over the continent
had not been able to effect—nay, not even the waters of
Carlsbad or Marienbad. (Signed) ALDBOROUGH."---
These wonderful pills will cure any disorder of the liver
or stomach.— Sold (also Holloway's ointment) at Pro-
fessor Holloway's establishment, 244, Strand, London,
and by all medicine vendors throughont the world.
SACRILEGE.— NAA£4.—There is great excitement here.
Several chapels have been broken into and robbed all
around us— Newbridge, Kildare, &c.—the chapel here
on two occasions ; the mass books torn, the valuable
ornaments carried away, and no clue as yet to the per-
petrators. The priests threatened at the altar that
whoever did it would be turned into goats, but all to no
purpose---the plundering still goes on.

the samethe as
in a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that be gets Inte-
rest fur his money, and in case of death his family receive more than
the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices he can do no
such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment
he ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any
fund to ly to for aid, all his hard•earned savings become forfeited to s
the society, and his misfortunes servo to benefit the pockets of hi
'nor tfortun ate co-assurers.
Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked
and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be
universally recognised and adopted when the principles are impar-
tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It
confers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair rate
of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the
hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor la
case of death. thus combining the
ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF
AN ASSURANCE COMPANY.

In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOSIT
system are still more striking.

the body of Ellen Lynch. She was in her night clothes,
and was lying upon her face. A copious stream of blood
had escaped from her mouth, and formed a puddle upon
the floor. One of her hands was clasped and much cut.
It was evident she had grasped the knife of the assassin,
and had the blade drawn through her fingers. Her
death was probably caused by a blow upon the head,
inflicted with some heavy instrument.
" The other victim was Mrs. Hannah Shaw. She was
in her ordinary dress, and lay upon her back in the rear
part of the room. This woman had a gash in her right
cheek, and a wound in the breast, evidently inflicted
with a knife. The carpet where she lay was completely
saturated with blood.

" The room in which the fearful tragedy had been en-
acted was comfortably furnished, and the articles in the
apartment were not disarranged ; even the carpet upon
the floor (which was an ordinary rag-carpet, and laid
down in strips) was as smooth as though the murdered
women had laid themselves gently down upon it. No-
thing about the room indicated a serious struggle, except
the ghastly remains lying upon the floor.
" So far as the circumstances connected with this
fearful affair have transpired, it - seems that the house
in which the murder was committed is occupied by John
Carrol, and that his brother William boards with him.
The second storey front room is rented to Bartholomew
Lynch and his wife. Mrs. Lynch was confined about
two weeks since, and has left her twin girls without a
mother. The room in which the foul deed was com-
mitted is used for Sabbath-school purposes by John
Carrol. Mrs. Shaw has been staying with her sister
since her confinement, and they have had several
quarrels together. Carrol and his wife were also in the
habit of-quarrelling.
"It seems that Carrol and his wife went to a ball, or
to a party of some kind, last evening, and were away
all. night ; this morning Mrs. Carrol returned home
alone, about half-past seven o'clock, and was the first to
discover the dreadful spectacle. The milkman was at
the door when she returned, and she called him in to
witness the scene. The neighbours were also alarmed.
The infant children, so suddenly left without a mother,
were found in the second storey front room, crying.
"At the time we left the scene, the knife with which
it is supposed most of the wounds wore inflicted had
not been found. A piece of leaden pipe, about eighteen
inches long, much battered, was found. Those who
were first upon the ground say there were spots of
blood, and some human hair, upon the pipe, when they
first saw it. It is probable that the fatal blow was in-
flicted upon Mrs. Lynch with this weapon.
" A candle, partly burnt, was found in the room ; the
wick appeared to have been extinguished purposely.
The brass candlestick had blood upon it.
"Mrs. Carrol says that when she left home last night
a young man named John Ryan was there. Ryan has
since been arrested. Mr. and Mrs. Carrol are also in
custody.

"An examination of the bodies of the murdered
women has taken place. Forty-one stabs were found
upon Mrs. Lynch, five entering the heart, and 17
wounds on Mrs. Shaw. An attempt was made to burn
down the house after the murder, but the fire went out
after burning a hole in the kitchen floor.
" A number of arrests on suspicion have been made,
amongst them a Sing Sing convict, named Arthur
Spring. No money or knife was found upon him."

Another murder succeeded the above horrible
tragedy, in which case a wife stabbed her husband,
a coloured man, in the street.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW YORK, MARCH 12.

There is a good demand for discounts of business
paper at the banks, and, as the latter continue to curtail
their lines, borrowers are necessarily driven to seek ac-
cemmodations in the street, where the rate paid varies
from 9 to 15 per cent. according to the signatures.
As many of the banks are discounting but about one-
fourth of their income, there is more surplus capital for
street loans, and thus the rate of temporary accommo-
dation is lower, and the market in this respect somewhat
relieved.

Considerable excitement was created in the street by
the announcement of the failure of the Woodbury Bank,
Woodbury, Connecticut ' • and the Eastern Bank, West
Killingly, Connecticut. The Metropolitan Bank 'issued
a circular in the course of the day, which was sent
to all its customers and correspondents, announcing
that the bills of these banks would not be received upon
deposit.
The imports of dry goods from foreign ports are not so
large by nearly $1,100,000 as they were last week, but
are in excess of the total for the corresponding week of
last year.

Foreign exchange is quiet at 109 to 1091 for the bills
on London ; the latter rate could not be obtained for any
considerable amounts.

The stock market opened at firmer rates.
Breadstuffs—Flour seemed more active and rather
firmer. Corn meal, wheat, and barley were unchanged.
There were 6,500 bushels of rye taken at about 90c. per
bushel State and Western oats were more in demand
at 48c. to 50c. per bushel. Corn was in better request
and steady. The day's operations included 34,000
bushels, at 60c. to 65c. for inferior to prime Southern
white and yellow per bushel.
Cotton—The sales to-day were about 700 bales, and
at prices exhibiting an easy market.
Freights.—To Liverpool, flour was at 2s. 3d., grain at
7id., cotton at id., and 20 tons of old scrap iron were
taken at 275. 6d. To London-100 tons of lard were
taken at 275. 6d. To Glasgow—Flour was last taken at
3s. A vessel was taken up for Cienfuegos at 40 per 100
lbs. There was nothing new in rates for California or
Australia.

The demand for continental fabrics is not very active,
and yet the business is steady and prices without mate-
rial change. There is less animation than expected at
this date, and undesirable goods are pressed on the mar-
ket without finding buyers.
There has been a good inquiry for broadcloths in qua-
lities below $2 50c., and goods worth $1 874 c. to $2
have even sold to arrive ; grades froze $2 50c. to $4 50c.
have been dull, but above this range there has also been
a fair demand. The stock of medium qualities is large,
and rather pressing on the market. Doeskins are firm,
and low qualities are scarce.
The few goods tried through the auction room have
not yielded much encouragement to continue the offering.
Such goods as are wanted at private sale it is no object
to send, and refuse stock is more than ever out of
favour.

In British goods the market has been dull and
mostly heavy, and for fancy goods rather lower prices
have been accepted. Staple goods are without mate-
rial change.

HAVANNAH, MARCH 7.

Sugar—A scarcity of vessels, high freights, and more
abundant receipts of new sugar has caused the demand
to fall off, and several purchases have been made at a
decline of one-eighth to a quarter of a penny. If the
same circumstances continue, there is little doubt the
decline will be generally established, but as yet quota-
tions are unchanged. The weather is favourable for
making sugar, with heavy rains for the first two days of
the month, but since then there has been fine dry
weather. The stock of sugar is 75,000 boxes.
Molasses—There has been a continued demand at 21
reals per keg, equal to llic. per gallon, free on board.
Several establishments have contracted at that price for
all they can deliver during the month, and lower prices
cannot be anticipated.
Coffee is in good demand, at Bc. to 84c. for good
seconds.

Honey is firm at 21.
Freights had an upward tendency until the last few
days, when numerous simultaneous arrivals checked the
demand. 31.175. 6d. and 41. per ton have been paid to
Cowes, and a market. Captains were still asking the
same rates, which will probably be granted, as there arc
but a small number of disengaged vessels in port ; 13
reals have been paid for sugar in boxes to northern
ports ; $6l to $7 for hogsheads ; $24 to $3 per 110 gal-
lons molasses.
Exchanges are dull. London has declined to 91 ; on
northern cities, 2i to 3 per cent.

SCENE IN THE OHIO HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.—On
Saturday, between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock,
Mr. Barnum, member of the house from Cuyahoga, was
standing in front of the clerk's desk, conversing with
another member—the deputy-clerk was reading a bill to
the house—the house was quiet and peaceable. At this
moment Mr. H. Medary, the clerk of the house, brother
of Colonel Medary, standing in his desk, took the crutch
of old Mr. George, and deliberately aimed a blow directly
upon the head of Mr. Barnum. The stroke came with
power, and Barnum was knocked down, essentially.
He was assisted by his friends to the room of the Ser-
geant-at-Arms, the huge wound on his head was attended
to, and soon after Mr. Barnum, in company with another
member, took the cars and started for his home. After
about an hour's silent reflection and the regular pursuit
of business, Mr. Lytle moved that the Sergeant-at-Arms
take possession of Mr. Medary, that a committee of five
be appointed to investigate the transaction, and to re-
port to the house what they shall do in the premises.
This matter will attract some attention, and we shall try
to keep the public duly posted.—Columbus State Jour-
nal, March 7.
ENGLISH POST-OFFICES.—England, for Post-office pur-
poses, is divided into seven districts. Each district is
pltced under the superintendence of a surveyor, to whom
all the Post-office. employ& in the district are subor-
dinate. Letters posted in each district are stamped with
a peculiar coloured composition. That all postmasters
in the western district stamp letters with a yellow
coloured composition in the midland district the colour
is blue, in the home district it is brown, in the northern,
red ; in the North Wales, green ; and in the South
Wales, purple.
AUSTRALIA.—A highly respectable youth left South-
ampton last summer for Australia, against the advice
and wishes of his friends. He stated that if he did well
his friends should hear %from him, and that if he was un-
successful, it would be some yeard before he should write

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA.
( From th,e Times. )

Seventy years ago the two great statesmen of
England encountered each other on the arena of
Indian politics. The memorable struggle engaged
the undivided attention of the nation, and the result
determined the destinies of the country for a period
of five and forty years. Unlike the apathy of
modern times, the nation hung in breathless sus-
pense on the projects of the Whig and Tory cham-
pions, the House of Commons frequently sat till 5
o'clock in the morning, and every argument that
the most refined ingenuity and the most bitter
party spirit could suggest was exhausted in dis-
cussing the constitution of the government of a re-
mote and alien people. It may not be without
advantage to recal at this time the exact position
of the question, the leading features of the two bills,
and the arguments by which they were attacked
and defended ; perhaps even yet something may be
gained towards the elucidation of the Indian
problem from considering the form this question
assumed in the third decade of the reign of George
111. In 1783 the feeling of the nation was
roused to a violent extent against the East
India Company, its servants, and its policy.
A society of merchants, it was said, subject
to no responsibility, bound by no political con-
siderations, and looking only to the increase
of their dividends and the aggrandisement of
their corporation, were conquering, plundering,
and laying waste one of the fairest portions of the
universe. No comedy was complete without the
introduction of a griping and ostentatious Nabob,
and the names of Clive Impey, Rumbold, and
Hastings were cited with Clive,
superstitious aver-
sion. Acts were passed requiring the company's
servants to disclose the amount of their ill-gotten
wealth, and bills of pains and penalties were intro-
duced for their punishment. It was in this tem-
per of the nation that Mr. Fox, being challenged
by his great rival to bring forward a bill, not of
temporary palliation or timorous expediency, but
vigorous and effectual, suited to the magnitude,
the importance, and the alarming exigency of the
case, produced his India Bill.

Thii measure abolished the Courts of Proprietors
and directors, and named in the act itself seven
Commissioners, invested with full powers for ad-
ministering the territories, revenues, and commerce
of India, and possessing the whole patronage of the
India service. Vacancies in this body were to be sup-
plied by the King, and its members were to be remov-
able upon the address of either House of Parliament.
The Commissioners were to hold no other place of
profit under the Crown, but they were not to be pro-
hibited from sitting in Parliament. Against this bill a
storm of opposition was raised, not because it was con-
sideredunsuitable for the government of India, but
dangerous to the constitution of England. A body
thus chosen, it was said, would be an imperium in
imperio—a fourth estate, endowed with the trea-
sures of India, and possessed of a mighty amount
of patronage. It was said that such an institution
would be dangerous to our liberties, and arm the
Minister who called it into existence with irresisti-
ble power. It is impossible to deny that there was
considerable weight in this reasoning. An admi-
nistrative department of State, in no way connected
with or subordinate to the Crown, was a very start-
hug anomaly. The danger of placing the patron-
age in the hands of a board devoted to the Minister
of the day was by no means imaginary, and no pro-
vision seems to have been made for a due responsi-
bility to Parliament. The principle of the measure
was, in fact, to substitute a board elected by the
House of Commons for a board elected by the pro-
prietors of East India Stock, leaving it to act with-
out check or hindrance, except from the immediate
intervention of Parliament. At the same time, it
seems astonishing that it should not have been
perceived how easily these defects might have
been remedied, and how readily all that was
objectionable in the bill might have been discarded,
while all that was valuable was preserved. Had
the patronage of the East India Company been
sold, thrown open to public competition, or vested
in some. other independent body, that objection
would have been effectually removed ; and had the
power of deciding been vested in an Indian Minis-
ter, and the duties of the proposed Council been
restricted to advising and assisting this Minister,

the dread of a new and irresponsible power would
have been effectually removed.
The bill of Mr. Fox seemed to sacrifice the in-
tegrity of our constitution to the future welfare of
India. Mr. Pitt's measure, without alarming con-
stitutional jealousies, did little for the good govern-

carpenter and 'a thresher, in England, were each 2d.,
or 12d. a week. In comparison with the present
money, it was three and a fraction more valuable ;
but as this sort of consideration relates to the diffe-
rence in the Mint price of silver, we must look for
a better measure, which will be found in the 577
pounds of bread produced from one quarter of
wheat ; for bread will pretty well represent most
of the things of necessary consumption among our
working classes. The quantity of bread which these
men at 2d. a day could purchase every week, will
give us an idea of the adequacy of their wages to

went of our eastern dominions. He established a
Board of Control, he created a Secret Committee
of directors, and he materially curtailed the influ-
ence of the Court of Proprietors. Subject to these
provisions, he permitted the Company to continue
till its extinction as a commercial body in 1833.
The main fault of this measure seems to be that it
was based on temporary and accidental circum-
stances, and was very likely to survive the objects
for the sake of which it was instituted. The Com-
pany soon lost its aggressive and enterprising cha-
racter, and became, in its Indian policy, extremely
and even absurdly pacific. Control was no longer
needed, and the spur might, with great advantage,
have replaced the rein. It is notorious that most of
the wars which have desolated India have had their
origin in the Secret Committee, without the know-
ledge and against the will of the directors. The
institution has outlived its objects. In the present
day a Board of Impulse is much more needed than
a Board of Control. It is probable, however, that,
unnecessary as it is for the purpose for which it is
designed, the Board of Control, by bringing the
Court of Directors into contact with the Govern-
ment, has preserved them to the present day. Had
they maintained their isolated position they would

probably have been sacrificed ere now to same out-
break of popular displeasure ; but the law which
connected them with the Government, and made
it responsible for their acts, imposed upon it the
necessity of upholding them, and shielding them
behind its aegis from the attacks of popular impulse.
The effect of Mr. Pitt's bill has also been to with-
draw the attention of the public from the affairs of
India, and to leave the Company and the Board of
Control to manage matters without fear of Parlia-
mentary intervention. The device of placing the
administration in the hands of one body and the
responsibility in those of another operated probably
to produce a more complete irresponsibility than
the avowedly independent Council of Mr. Fox.
We cannot refuse to Mr. Pitt's bill the merit of
greater adaptation to the circumstances of a
e,com-
mercial company, while to Mr. Fox must be
awarded the merit of more direct adaptation of
means to ends, and a more earnest desire for the
welfare of our Indian fellow-subjects. The main
difficulty which perplexed these two great men,
which made Mr. Fox's board arbitrary and isolated,
and forced Mr. Pitt to devise a machinery for con-
trolling instead of administering the government
of India, is now removed. The commercial com-
pany has for nineteen years ceased to exist. Let
us hope that we possess statesmen equal to the so-
lution of a problem, the conditions of which time
has so materially simplified.

their subsistence. Now the average price 6f the
quarter of wheat in this century was 6s. In the
shape of bread it would cost something more for
workmanship, but then the water, which enters
into bread, will counterbalance the surcharge or
additional price. These men, having each 2d.
day, had 12d. for the working week, and conse-
quently could purchase 971 b. of bread ; that is,
having one-sixth of the price per quarter, they
could of course buy one-sixth of it by weight or
measure.
In the 15th century the wages of these men were
exactly the same, but wheat had risen to the aver-
age of Bs. per quarter, and consequently the com-
mercial 'or purchasing power of their wages was
diminished. Instead of 971 b. they could have only
721 b. of bread.
The following, or 16th century, brought altera-
tions, both in the price of wheat and the daily
wages of the same trades, but the latter did not
keep pace with the prices of necessaries, which, as
usual, followed that of wheat. Their daily wages
were doubled, and they had 4d., or 2s. per week ;
but wheat was, on the average, 21s. per quarter,
and, therefore, 2s. would purchase no more than
551 b. of bread. Thus, as money became abundant,
and as farmers and other producers had the benefit
of proportionately higher prices, the condition
of the working class, even with double the amount
of their wages in the 14th century, before the mines
were discovered, was nearly two-thirds, or as 97 to
55, worse than before.

CONDITION OF THE WORKING CLASSES
(From the Morning Advertiser.)

In the 17th century, magistrates appear to have
been very active in adjusting the amount of la-
bourers' wages to the price of wheat • but one is at
a loss to account for the difference which is observ-

able in their assizes. In some places where they
were more regular, they thought 4s. and 3s. 6d. a
week, according to the season, enough without
food ; in others, 55. and 6s. ; and, again, we find
Gs. and 7s. But these wages were in different
years, and we pass over the irregularities. The
average in this century was ss. a week, and the
average of a quarter of wheat, from 1637 to 1700,
was 51s. a quarter. We shall see what the com-
mercial power of these wages was, and finding that
they could not purchase more than 561 b. of bread,
we shall be justified in concluding that working
men were considerably worsened in condition by
the greater abundance of money than they were
when, with 2d. a day, they could have 971 b. of
bread.

The 18th century saw the wages of working men
at an average of 18s. a week, and they were enabled
to live comfortably and save money. This improve-
ment was in the middle of the century ; that is,
from 1786 to 1792, and is no doubt owing to the re-
action on the influence of money, under the im-
petus to industry given by the introduction of the
cotton manufactures. The average of wheat in
those years was 515., the lowest being 41s. 10d. per
quarter, and the highest 575. 10d. Taking the
average as we have average wages, the workman
could now buy 2041 b. of bread every week, if he
laid out all his wages upon that one necessary.
Mr. Doubleday has found the weekly expenditure
of a working man in 1785, whence it appears that,
having bought a plentiful supply of butchers'
meat, beer, butter, sugar, tea, coals, candles, &c.,
and paid a rent of Is. 6d. a week, a man with 18s.
was ss. sd. a week in pocket.
This prosperous state of things was disturbed by
the French war. On the return of peace, the con-
di Lion of the working man was beginning to improve;
when the evil genius of England rose in the form
of aristocratic protection, and suggested the plan
of maintaining high war rents in time of profound
peace, by means of corn laws, or a tax upon bread
and other necessaries, for they were enhanced in
Consequence. Wages consequently were reduced
on all sides. If we assume 10s. a week for the
average, from 1815 to the extinction of the odious
monopoly, we shall not be far wrong, particularly
if we take 665. for the price of a quarter of wheat,
for that was often the average of a year in the
period of the corn law plunder. A man with 10s.
a week could buy no more than 571 b. and a few
ounces of bread, and thus he was, by legislative
contrivance for the benefit of a class, brought down
to the wretched condition of the labourers in the
16th century. Now, if we compare these 571 b. in
the 19th century, under peace, with the 2041 b. a
week, procurable by the workmen in the 17th, be-
fore the war, we shall be able to judge of the ex-
tent of the plunder, which the most productive of
the population underwent by means of the corn
laws. It amounts to 1971 b. a week ; because this
computation supposes that all is spent in bread in
each century, and it merely shows the purchasing
power of money paid m wages. If the wages be
diminished by extravagance and taxation, the rate
of the purchasing power remains unchanged. The
real cause, the artificial enhancement of the price
of bread, has still the same effect.

On the whole, it will be seen that the labouring
classes were much better off in regard to the power
of procuring necessaries, before the discovery of the
American gold mines, than they were at any time
after it, until the genius of Arkwright and his
fellow-labourers in the industrial sciences, counter-
acted the deteriorating influence of the precious
metals by means of the cotton manufactures, which
wonderfully, and as if by magic, created, in a few
years, more real wealth than had ever resulted from
the importation of American gold and silver, pro-
digious as it may appear. In good truth, one coal
mine is, in this respect, worth infinitely more than
all the gold mines in America and Australia. Gold
does riot create wealth ; it is not wealth itself ; it
only represents and serves as a measure of wealth.
Hence, we are not surprised at the sorrow expressed
at the discovery of gold in the promising colony of
New Zealand, as mentioned in a letter inserted in
yesterday's Advertiser. The working classes, we
fear, are doomed to great suffering, through the
supineness of Government in regard to the import-
ant question—What shall we do if gold become
cheap and the necessaries of life dear ? We would
say, follow the example of the wiser statesmen of
Holland, who, in good time, have demonetised
gold, and placed it again in its true position, no
longer money, but a thing of barter and sale, like
all other marketable commodities, for such it will
ever continue to be, in despite of bullionists and
their absurd laws.,

THE SEAMAN'S BILL OF FARE.—Now I have some-
thing to say about the common seaman's victuals ;
Parliament regulates the quantity, but quality depends
upon the pocket of the shipowner. In some London
ships I know, and I dare say in a few ships from other
ports, the provisions supplied are excellent ; but in most
English vessels, and especially in those from other ports
than London, they are either second rate or bad.
My teeth are most used to such biscuit as would

board many Scotch ships. Salt beef is known justly
in the merchant service as " salt horse" or " mahogany."

CURE FOR YELLOW FEVER.—The following is an ex-
tract of a private letter from her Majesty's Vice-Consul
at Cape Bolivar to her Majesty's Acting Consul-General
& covered a perfect remedy for the black vomit and
has s
at Caracas :—" An old woman, named Mariquita Orfila,
yellow fever, by means of which several persons have
been completely cured after a consultation of doctors had
declared that the cases were quite hopeless, and that the
patients must die in a few hours. The remedy is the
juice of the pounded leaves of the ' verbena,' given in
small doses three times a day, and injections of the same
every two hours, until the bowels are emptied. The
' verbena' is a wild shrub, to be found growing almost
everywhere, and particularly in low, moist ground. All
our doctors have adopted its use, and now few or none
die of those late fearful diseases. There are two kinds
of it, male and female ; the latter is the one that is most
used."—Liverpool Times.

A very few words will suffice to show the condi-
tion to which the working classes of this country
may expect to be reduced, should the continuous
influx of large quantities of .gold render money
abundant, and consequently cheap, making all other
things, to use a common, but not here a correct
term, dearer, unless their wages and incomes are
raised in proportion to the depreciation of money
and the consequent enhancement of necessaries.
It will here be proper, since it is necessary to f
