EAST INDIA AND CHINA SHIPPING.

The East India and China Association have published
their usual comparative statement of the number of
ships, British and foreign, with their aggregate tonnage,
which have entered inwards and cleared outwards with
cargo from and to places within the limits of the East
India Company's Charter, from the Ist of January to
the 31st of March in the years 1852 and 1853.
From the statement of vessels entered inwards it
appears that in the case of the port of London there has
been an increase of 34 vessels, with 24,000 tonnage, the
difference between 118 vessels, with 54,371 tonnage, in
1852, and 152 vessels, with 78,861 tonnage, in 1853.
Liverpool presents an increase of 14 vessels, with 11,427
tonnage, the number in 1852 having been 89 vessels,
with 19,854 tonnage ; while in 1853 it was 53 vessels,
with 31,281 tonnage. Bristol and Hull show an increase
of 11 vessels, with 3,160 tonnage, the difference between
5 vessels, with 1,847 tonnage, and 16 vessels, with
5,007 tonnage. The return for the Clyde exhibits
little alteration, the figures for the respective periods
being 17 vessels, with 5,754 tonnage, and 16 vessels,
with 5,911 tonnage. The net increase exhibited is 58
vessels, with 39,234 tonnage, the difference between
179 vessels, with 81,826 tonnage, in 1852, and 237 ves-
sels, with 121,060 tonnage, in 1853. The principal in-
crease is shown in the arrival of vessels from Mauritius,
Sydney, Bombay, Calcutta, and Madras.

UNGRATEFUL ROBBERY.
John Cray West, 22, pleaded guilty to stealing a purse
containing forty-six pounds, the property of Alfred
Tassel', from his dwelling-house in Union-street, South-
wark.

It appeared that the prosecutor was a small trades-
man, and the prisoner's sister was his wife, and en-
tirely through charity the prisoner was allowed to

' live - with Chem. Prosecutor had saved forty-six
pounds, which he deposited with his wife for security.
In the early part of March the prisoner suddenly de-
camped, having broken open his sister's box and stolen
the cash. Nothing was heard of him until the 6th of
March, when the prisoner was seen spendinc, a great
deal of money by superintendent Morton at Tunbridge-
wells. Having some suspicion that he was the bank
clerk who had absconded from London, he apprehended 5025
him, when the prisoner confessed that he had robbed his , lop
brother-in-law the prosecutor. He was brought up to St.
London and twenty-two pounds was found on him, he 6
having expended the remainder. 25
The prisoner having expressed his contrition, and the 50
prosecutor recommending him to mercy, the Court sen- 20
tenced him to six months' hard labour at Wands-
worth. Pi+

ROBBERY BY AN OLD SERVANT.—George Simmons, 45,
pleaded guilty to stealing a large number of seed bags,
the property of Alfred Barry, wharfinger in Tooley-
street.

The prisoner had been nearly 20 years in prosecutor's
employ, and was detected in stealing the property.
The prosecutor having recommended him to mercy,
the Court sentenced' him to six months' at Wandsworth.

PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-APRIL 12.

(From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of
Commons. )
KILMAINHAM HOSPITAL.
Motion made and question put—" That an humble ad-
dress be presented to her Majesty, representing to her Ma-
jesty that, in the opinion of this house, it is expedient and
right to maintain for the Irish soldier, in his age or in-
firmity, the asylum which the Royal Hospital of King
Charles the Second, for ancient and maimed soldiers at
Kilmainham, near Dublin, has long afforded to those for
whose benefit it was originally instituted and endowed ;
that the abolition of this ancient Irish institution would be
opposed to the feelings of the Irish nation, and injurious
to the honour and interests of her Majesty's service ; and
praying that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to
adopt such measures as may to her wisdom seem expedient
for removing any obstructions which may now exist to the
fulfilment of the objects for which this institution is estab-
lished, in consequence of any directions heretofore issued
to the Governors by her Majesty's Secretary-at-War, pro-
hibiting the further admission of maimed and worn out
soldiers." The house dividend—Ayes, 198 ; Noes, 131.

NEW RAILWAY COMPANY IN CANA DA.

The arrangements which have been long pending for
, the formation of a general system of railways for Canada
by a continuous main line that shall connect and incor-
porate the lines already in existence or in progress have
been completed. The new company is to be called the
Grand Trunk Railway Company of Upper Canada,
and its aggregate capital is fixed at 9,500,0001., of
which 3,623,000/. is now to be raised in England, in
shares and guaranteed debentures. Of the remainder,
the sum of 1,416,400/. has been already raised in
Canada ; 837,600/. is still to be allotted there, and
3,623,0001. is taken by the contractors, with the stipu-
lation that they shall reserve two thirds of that amount
to offer them to the present subscribers at par on the
Ist July, 1854, 12 months after the anticipated opening
of an important section of the line. The shares are to
be for 251. each, and the debentures will be issued pro
rata. These debentures are divided into two classes,
one class being simply debentures of the company, pay-
able in 25 years, with half-yearly interest at 6 per cent.,
and the option of converting them into shares any time
before 1863 ; and the other being virtually the bonds of the
provincial Government, payable in 20 years and bearing
interest at 6 per cent. They will both be in amounts
of 1001. each, and thus every subscriber of 2001. in
shares will also take 1001, of the railway and 1001. of
the Government debentures. The entire length of the
line will be 1,112 miles, and it will extend from Trois
Pistolles, the great shipping port of Canada in summer,
through Quebec, Montreal, and Toronto, to Sarnia, on
Lake Huron, including likewise the St. Laurence and
Atlantic Railway, the American portion of which will
be leased, and by which the whole route will be opened
up to the port of Portland in the State of Maine. Ac-
companying the prospectus is a copy of the recent dis-
patch from Lord Elgin to the Colonial-office, showing
the extraordinary progress made by Canada during the
last 10 years, and consequently the favourable prospects
of a cheaply constructed national railway, secured
against all competition and supported by the Govern-
ment, passing through the richest lands of the province,
and embracing all the produce and passenger traffic from
the far west to the Atlantic. The directors in London
are Messrs. Baring, Glyn, Blake, M`Calmont, Kirkman
Hodgson, and Alderman Thompson, and in Canada the
Board comprises some of the principal members of the
Government.

COUNTY ELECTIONS POLLS (SCOTLAND)
BILL.

On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Mr. DUNLOP moved that it be an instruction to the
committee to extend to boroughs a provipion of the bill
repealing a clause of a former act, prohibiting county
polls from-being commenced on a Saturday.
Agreed to.
The house then went into committee on this bill.
Clause 1 was agreed to.
On clause 2,
Mr. F. MACKENZIE moved the omission of certain
words giving a power of appeal to the Lord-Advocate
from the Sheriff with respect to the nomination of addi-
tional poling places. He thought the appeal ought to be
to the Sheriff's Appeal Act.
After some discussion, the committee divided, when

EAST INDIA AND CHINA SHIPPING.

The East India and China Association have published
their usual comparative statement of the number of
ships, British and foreign, with their aggregate tonnage,
which have entered inwards and cleared outwards with
cargo from and to places within the limits of the East
India Company's Charter, from the Ist of January to
the 31st of March in the years 1852 and 1853.
From the statement of vessels entered inwards it
appears that in the case of the port of London there has
been an increase of 34 vessels, with 24,000 tonnage, the
difference between 118 vessels, with 54,371 tonnage, in
1852, and 152 vessels, with 78,861 tonnage, in 1853.
Liverpool presents an increase of 14 vessels, with 11,427
tonnage, the number in 1852 having been 39 vessels,
with 19,854 tonnage ; while in 1853 it was 53 vessels,
with 31,281 tonnage. Bristol and Hull show an increase
of 11 vessels, with 3,160 tonnage, the difference between
5 vessels, with 1,847 tonnage, and 16 vessels, with
5,007 tonnage. The return for the Clyde exhibits
little alteration, the figures for the respective periods
being 17 vessels, with 5,754 tonnage, and 16 vessels,
with 5,911 tonnage. The net increase exhibited is 58
vessels, with 39,234 tonnage, the difference between
179 vessels, with 81,826 tonnage, in 1852, and 237 ves-
sels, with 121,060 tonnage, in 1853. The principal in-
crease is shown in the arrival of vessels from Mauritius,
Sydney, Bombay, Calcutta, and Madras.
The statement connected with vessels cleared out-
wards shows a remarkable increase in all cases. The
port of London figures for an increase of 109 vessels,
with 37,032 tonnage, the difference between 118 vessels

young man named Poole, residing in the parish of St.
Michael, whose wife died a few weeks ago, while ex-
amining an old box, which his deceased partner had
purchased at an auction sale a short time since, found
an old note in a crevice, which turns out to be a note

METROPOLITAN EXTRAMURAL SEPULTURE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Observing from the Parliamentary Reports
that Lord Palmerston last night, in answer to a ques-
tion put by Mr. Digby Seymour, repeated what he said
to Mr. Whalley on the 18th of March relative to
the desire felt by Ministers to put an immediate
end to intramural interments—adding, "He thought
the course of applying for orders in Council would
be followed by shutting up all the graveyards in
the metropolis ; whilst, with regard to arrangements for
burial beyond the limits of the metropolis, these arrange-
ments must rest with the parishes concerned ; but he
apprehended that the great extent of ground which had,
he believed, been purchased near Woking for that pur-
pose would be amply sufficient to meet all demands of
the metropolis for a good time to come;" allow me to
request the favour that you will insert the annexed copy
of a letter which I addressed to his Lordship, on the 2d
inst., on the above subject.
The length of my letter will not, I hope, preclude its
insertion, seeing that it relates to a question of universal
metropolitan interest, at a moment when 176 parish
boards, deficient in all the requisites for such a task, are
attempting the organisation of new burial institutions.
I am further led to ask this favour, as throughout the
long discussions on the two Metropolitan Burial Acts,

20. At the rate agreed to be paid by Government for
the Brompton Cemetery, 38 acres in size—viz., 74,921/.
—which is upwards of 1,9701. per acre—the purchase
money of the Necropolis, when enclosed and laid out,
would be be 2,955,0001. This burial territory through
which the South-Western Railway passes for two miles
and a half—and which embraces the finest scenery in.
England—we offered, as your Lordship will see by re-
ference to our two memorials to the Lords of the Trea-
sury in 1850, not only to make a practical adjunct to the
working of the Metropolitan Interments Act of that
year, but also to place under the medical police, sur-
veillance of the Board of Health. To the above details,
then, it is unnecessary for me to do more than
add, that, in addition to the Necropolis at Woking,
being a complete remedy for the evils of Me-
tropolitan Intramural Burial, whether as regards
magnitude of extent, comprehensiveness of design, -unity
of action, facility of access, cheapness of sepulture, the
Company has at its head not only an ordinary Board of
Directors amenable at all times to public opinionf e
correct discharge of their duties, but likewise a Board of
Visitors, comprising the Lords-Lieutenant of Middlesex
and Surrey, the Bishops of London and Winchester,
the Lord Mayor, and the Chief Commissioner of Woods
and Forests, with power to inspect from time to time
the Necropolis, and see that the practice of burial there
is in strict accordance with sanitation and decency. In
every respect, then, my Lord, as regards health, eco-
nomy, decency, and convenience, the Necropolis may
challenge the approbation of all ranks and classes of the
inhabitants of the metropolis • and as the late Govern-
ment took credit in the Speech from the Throne on the
recent dissolution of Parliament, for measures which
had been passed during their Administration for pro-
moting the extramural interment of the dead—the said
measures being the Metropolitan Burials Act, and the
act incorporating The London Necropo is and National
Mausoleum at Woking--I hope your Lordship, and the
present Ministry, will give to myself and coadjutors
every aid and countenance in your power for making
the NECROPOLIS a "City for the Dead" worthy in all re-
spects not only of the magnitude, the riches, and the civili-
sation of London as the commercial capital of the British
nation,—but of London also as the seat of the Govern-
ment, the fountain head of the laws, and the bulwark
of the Protestant faith.
I have the honour to remain, my Lord,
Your most obedient humble servant,

Mr. HUME moved the omission of the words by
which polls were prohibited from being held on Monday.
Mr. DUNLOP supported the clause as it stood, be-
cause the feelings of the people of Scotland was strongly

sidered that appointing Monday as a polling day, would
lead to such desecration.

SURREY SESSIONS.-(THIS DA Y.)

;Before Thomas Puckle, Esq., and a full bench of
Magistrates.)
UNGRATEFUL ROBBERY.

John Cray West, 22, pleaded guilty to stealing a purse
containing forty-six pounds, the property of Alfred
Missed, from his dwelling-house in Union-street, South-
wark.

It appeared that the prosecutor was a small trades-
man, and the prisoner's sister was his wife, and en-
tirely through charity the prisoner was allowed to
live with them. Prosecutor had saved forty-six
pounds, which he deposited with his wife for security.
In the early part of March the prisoner suddenly de-
camped, having broken open his sister's box and stolen
the cash. Nothing was heard of him until the 6th of
March, when the prisoner was seen spending a great
deal of money by superintendent Morton at Tunbridge-
wells. Having some suspicion that he was the bank
clerk who had absconded from London, he apprehended
him, when the prisoner confessed that he had robbed his
brother-in-law the prosecutor. He was brought up to
London and twenty-two pounds was found on him, he
having expended the remainder.
The prisoner having expressed his contrition, and the
prosecutor recommending him to mercy, the Court sen-
tenced him to six months' hard labour at Wands-

worth.
ROBBERY BY AN OLD SERVANT.—George Simmons, 45,
pleaded guilty to stealing a large number of seed bags,
the property of Alfred Barry, wharfinger in Tooley-
street.

The prisoner had been nearly 20 years in prosecutor's
employ, and was detected in stealing the property.
The prosecutor having recommended him to mercy,
the Court sentenced him to six months' at Wandsworth.

PUBLIC EDUCATION.

Mr. ADDERLEY wished to ask Lord J. Russell
whether he intended to introduce any measure, or would
extend his general educational measure so as to include
any provision, either by grants through the Committee
of Council, or by rates, or any other means for pauper
or reformatory schools for the classes of children most
dependent on assistance, and whose better education is
most needed for the safety of the State.
Lord J. RUSSELL said, with regard to the educa-
tion of pauper children, that was a subject which had
been considered, and was still under the consideration
of the Government, but he apprehended the education
of criminal children did not come within the scope of the
bill, and therefore it would have to be made the subject
of a separate measure.
CANTERBURY ELECTION.
On the motion of Mr. K. SEYMER, the amendments
which the Lords had introduced into the address to the
Commons for a commission to inquire into the causes of
bribery at the Canterbury election were considered and
agreed to.

ENCUMBERED ESTATES (IRELAND) BILL.
In reply to Mr. H. HERBERT,

Sir J. YOUNG said he believed there was a general
feeling in Ireland that the Encumbered Estates Act
should be applied to estates which were not encumbered.
The subject however, was one of extreme difficulty, and
though he hoped it might be found possible to
bring such estates under the operation of that -net, he
was not prepared to say that the Government would be
enabled to bring in a bill for that purpose during the
present session.
