';‘

Mr. FIELDER would not impute sinister motives to
the mover and seconder of this resolntion, but he did
hope end trust that where it was shown that a court-
martial had acted with perfect legality, as appeared to
be the case in this instance, there would be no
interference with the conclusions it had arrived at,
Ile called, therefore, upon the Court to negative this
resolution, and set the matter at rest for ever.

111:ijor BRIGGS gave it as his opinion that, by law,
the native soldiery had a right to a copy of the pro-
ce.edings of court martials before whom they had been
tried, and should therefore support the motion.
The CHAIRMAN said the Honourable Proprietor's
view of the law was erroneous.

Major BRIGGS contended that the execution of the
men referred to by the mover of this resolution was a
direct violation of the existing law, inasmuch as the
court-martial was composed of nine instead of twelve
members.

Aftr,,r a few words from Sergeant STORK,

Major OLIPBANT admitted that, no doubt, in the
ordinary course these soldiers cught to have been tried
by their peers, namely, 13 native officers, but by the
law of 1829 the native soldiers had the option of the
electing to be tried either by their peers, or by a
British court-martial consisting of nine members,
being British officers. Now, in this case the offend-
ing parties had made the latter election, and it was
therefore absurd to say that the proceedings were
illegal.

•
The CHAIRMAN put the legality of the question at
rest, by stating that the opinion of the highest law
officers of the Crown in India had been taken on the
subject, and they were clearly and undoubtedly of
opinion that the proceedings were strictly legal.
After some further discussion,
Mr. LEwIN replied, stating that he should take
another opportunity of bringing the subject under
the consideration of the proprietors.
The resolution was then put to the meeting, and
103 t by a large majority, only four hands being held
up in its favour. _ _ _

Mr SULLIVAN then moved that certain papers con.
nected with the Sattara territory be printed.
The resolution was as follows :—" That Sir
Charles Metcalf's minute, dated the 28th of October,
1837, relative to the right of the native Princes of
India to adopt heirs, in failure of heirs of their own
body, and the papers to which it refers, tos ether with
all papers relative to adoption made in the families of
Scindiah Hollkar, and amongst the Princes of Rag-
poo'aum be printed for the use of this Court."
The CHAIRMAN objected to their being printed, on
the ground of expense, but he had no objection to the
papers being laid on the proprietors' table.
Mr. SULLIVAN observed that these papers would
throw light upon the right of adoption claimed by
native princes, and tend in some measure to elucidate
some of the details of the Sattara question, and he
hoped the proprietors would support his motion.
Mr. FIELDER thought it was clear the object of
this motion was to reopen the Sattara question.
The CHAIRMAN thought so too, and as enough had
already been said on that subject, he would put the
motion without comment.

The resolution was then put and lost.
Some other routine business was then disposed of
and the Court adjourned.

HE HUNGARIANS NOT
REVOLUTIONISTS.
(From the Examiner.)
The Times has boldly advanced another step in
its arraignment of Lord Palmerston's Hungarian
policy. It had the courage to inform us, on Wed-
nesday last, that the "increase which has accrued to
the power and influence of Russia" is not to be
attributed, as might naturally be supposed, to the Aus-
trian Camarilla which invoked Russian intervention,
but to the Hungarians, who would neither tamely
surrender their rights nor allow themselves to be
beaten by the Austrians alone, and to the policy of
the British Foreign Office, which, by its " persecue
tion of the interests of Austria, contributed to send
her as a suppliant to Warsaw, until Russian armies
appeared on the lower Danube."
Now, the doctrine here implied amounts simply to
this. A Sovereign may violate his sacred engage-
rnsnts and annul the liberties of his subjects; and not
only must his subjects not offer any resistance, lest tl.e
intervention of a third power, dangerous to the balance
of affairs in Europe, should thereby become necessary,
but the Foreign Minister of England is bound to give
aid, directly or indirectly, to the Sovereign so tramp-
ling upon the rights of his people. Our " persecution
of the interests of Austria," can only he inter-
preted to mean that no British fleet aided Radetzky's
operations, and that no British treasure was lavished
to support the tottering credit of a Government pro-
verbial not more for its despotism than for its want
of faith in pecuniary transactions. Such a doctrine
of passive non-resistance, and of means justified by
ends, is quite in consonance with Jesuit principles ;
but will hardly find favour in England,
Of course, in order to find some shadow of justifi-
cation for the conduct of the Austrian Government,
every effort must be made to throw obloquy upon the
Hungarian cause. Calumniare audacter semper
aliquid ha?ret ; and most religiously has that maxim
of the Jesuits been pursued in this instance. Mis-
statements are deliberately repeated, that the public
mind may become familiarized to them, and learn
to look upon them as truths. To reply to these
misstatements, repeated as boldly 83 if they had
never been refuted, becomes a wearisome, a Sisy.
phean task.
The "Hungarian Republic" is still spoken of. The
Government of which Kossuth was the head was not
a republic, but an ixterim Government, fur which
there existed a precedent in Hungarian history. Not
one document of any kind, no ordinance, no procla-
mation, is to be found in the name of the Hungarian
Republic.
The few (not many) thousand Poles who fought in
the ranks of the Magyars were almost without excep-
tion Poles of the Austrian provinces of Gallicia, con-
sequently not Russian subjects, and affording no
pretext for the Russian invasion of Hungary.
We have no evidence whatever that Bern and
Dembinski contributed to make the breach between
the Hungarians and the House of Austria irreparable,
by contributing to the deposition of the Emperor.
After Francis Joseph had declared his resolution
not to accept the crown of Hungary upon the ancient
constitutional terms, his deposition was decreed by
the Lords and Commons of Hungary, as that of
James the Second was upon far less weighty grounds.
Never has there been the slightest whisper that any-
thing like military terrorism contributed to the De-
claration of Independence at Debreczin. Had there
been anything of the kind the Austrian journals
would only have been too glad to make a handle of it.
What the excesses to which Bern and Dembinski
contributed actually were, we should like to be
informed. We know what were the excesses
deliberately sanctioned by Austrian generals; but we
have yet to learn that the Polish generals in the Hun-
garian service did anything to aggravate unnecessarily
the inevitable horrors of war. We observe that an
attempt is being made to oppose Georgey as a patriot
to Kossuth. We do not pretend to divine what were
the secret motives of Georgey, if he had any; but his
actions show that he did not " entertain the wonted
aversion of the Magyars for their Sarmatian neigh-
bours," in so high a degree as Kossuth and the civi-
lians. He preferred negotiating with a Russian
rather than with an Austrian General.
We now come to a sentence which claims pre-
eminence in the boldness of its misstatements. "Al-
ready, in October last year, Hungary had kindled
the conflagration in Vienna which rivalled the horrors
of the Parisian days in June, when the Polish Bem
and the Saxon Robert Blum conspired to over-
throw the monarchical institutions of Germany in
the heart of her greatest capital." Fortunately,
we have an account of the events of October at
Vienna in the narrative of Auerbach, the accuracy
of which has not been impugned. We there find
that neither Bern nor Robert thorn arrived at Vienna
till after the outbreak of the 6th October; and that
though Bern was subsequently entrusted with a
military command, he was tar from enjoying the cun-
fidence of the Vienna Democrats, or taking any pro-
minent part in affairs. The " conflagration in Vienna
vi hich rivalled the horrors of the Parisian days of
June" was nothing more than an unpremeditated
emeute, in which one victim unfortunately fell a sacri-
fice to the passions of a populace infuriated
by the knowledge of his perfidy. This was
seized by the Camarilla as a pretext for
withdrawing the Emperor Ferdinand to Oli-
n:Utz, for attempting to force the people of
Vienna into a state of anarchy, and (although their
efforts were unsuccessful in this respect) for bom-
barding that city. That the Hungarians had any-
thing to do with the events of October at Vienna,
there is neither evidence nor probability. If any
facts tending to bear out such a conclusion bad been
elicited in the numerous trials which took place
(among others of Hee zhnann, Pulszk) 's private
secretary), we may be very sure that they would
have been greedily published by the Imperialists.
The tendency of all these misstatements is to
represent the Hungarians as revolutionary in their
principles, and as aggressors in their quarrel with the
Hou-e of Hapsburg.
Nothing can be more opposed to facts than such a
view of the case. If the cause of the Hungarians
" was identified, elsewhere, with the explosion of those
frantic doctrines and acts of violence which had so
recently spread terror and destruction through so
many of the fairest cities of Europe," it was only
through the misrepresentations of the Absoluti,t
Press. The Hungarians have, in fact, In en reproached
by the ultra-Demucrats for not making common
cause with the revolutionary propaganda in other
( countries; for being unwilling
to overstep the
strict limits of legality ; and for grounding the jus-
tice of their cause rather upon the letter of their
chartered rig.ats, than upon any imaginary rights of
man. We :Lind no traces of "frantic doctrines" of
Communism, or Red Republicanism, in the speeches

of Kossuth or his colleagues. On one occasion oiely
can the policy of Kossuth be said to have beam
aggressive when at his instance the Hungarian'
troops crossed the Austrian frontier on the 30:h of
November, and engaged with the Austrian army
at Schwechat. But if we examine into the matter
more narrowly, we shall find that this act of aggres-
sion was necessitated by the previous hostility of
the Austrian Ministry. Not merely had Austrian
officers excited the Serbs of Southern Hungary against
the Hungarian Constitutional Ministry as early as
May—not merely had Jellachich been supplied with
money by the Austrian Ministry as early as July—but
on the 4th of October (consequently before the emeute
of the 6th, which the Hungarians are falsely said to
have excited), an imperial manifesto was published,
by which Hungary was placed tinder martial law,
the Diet dissolved, and Jellachich appointed civil and
military governor of Hungary, with discretionary
power of life and death. In short, the Hungarian
Constitution had been annulled. At this very time
Jellachich, after having been defeated by the Hun•
garians, had sought refuge in Austria. It
is notorious that tSe Hungarians long hesitated
whether they should pass the frontier without a
special invitation from the Austrian Diet. Whether
the resolution ultimately come to was justifiable in
such an emergency we shall leave others to decide.
We shall only observe that, in the council of war
held on the subject, the opinion of Kossuth in favour
of the measure was principally supported, against
that of the higher officers, by Georgey, who
at that time held the rank of colonel.
That the policy of Kossuth, had he become
undisputed master of Hungary, would have
been aggressive is a most gratuitous assumption.
Till the period when the invasion of Hungary- by
Windischgratz drove away every other thought but
that of self-defence, we find the Hungarian Diet busily
engaged in internal ameliorations, in discussing plans
for national education, in proportioning the compen.
sation to the lords of manors for the dues they had
surrendered, and in similar pacific measures.

But if we look at the question from a broad European
point of view, and not merely as it affects English
interests, we may ask what can it matter to the
continental populations, whether the famous mot of
Napoleon is to be taken in its literal or metaphysical
sense—whether by the word Cossack we understand
actual Russian sway or merely the general predomi-
nance of military despotism. Certainly the armies
arid agents of Austria are no more to be regarded as
champions of improvement than those of Russia. In
what respect have Haynau and Windischgratz the
superiority over Paskewitch and Rudiger ? This is
a question which will naturally be asked by the parties
mast deeply interested.
If the " augmentation of the European ascendancy
of Russia" is to be attributed to popular convulsions,
to what cause are those convulsions to be attributed ?
Clearly to a long, continued course of misgovernment,
of which they were but the natural and inevitable
results. The assertion may he ventured on, in faith of
English ignorance on the subject, that Austrian rule
in Hungary was not adverse to the liberty or the
progress of the people: but few will have the hardi-
hood to deny that the system of Louis Philippe
in France, or the Ecclesiastical Government at
Rome, could tend to anything but convulsions
and revolutions. The question was simply one of
time. The death of Louis Philippe or of Metternich
was variously assigned as the period beyond which a
general outbreak could not be deferred. Matters
have been somewhat precipitated ; but the outbreak
was inevitable, as another will be, if things are
merely patched up for the moment, arid no provi-
sions made to give security to the political fabric of
Europe.
" Whatever Russia has gained has been by the
weakness of others, not by her own strength. To
this assertion of the Times we most heartily assent,
and from it we would draw the inference that the
only effectual barrier to the aggrandisement of
Russia is to be found in strengthening "others." As
it would be impossible, in existing circumstances, to
e%tablish a large military monarchy as a counterpoise
(en attempt in which Napoleon signally failed), no-
thing remains but to develope to the utmost the in-
ternal resources of other powers; and this can only
be done permanently and effectually by promoting
the growth of those free institutions, which, as expe-
-1 rience teaches, while they secure material prosperity,
are the best, perhaps the only, preventives of license
and disorder. Hence it follows that British diplo-
macy, which looks beyond the immediate moment,
should use all legitimate means of fostering the great
principle of rational constitutional liberty, and should
consistently refrain from any participation or con-
nivance in the plans of despotic governments. The
name of England in many parts of the continent has
hardly recovered from the raiscredit cast upon it by
the complicity of Tory politicians with the floly
Alliance • and what have we ever received in return
for this foss of character, but the blackest ingratitude
on the part of those for whose sake it had been sub-
mitted to ? Already, in the last decennium of last
century, did our great Whig leaders, Mr. Fox and
the then Mr. Grey, Lords Lansdowne and Lauder.
dale, warn the Tory Ministry that no faith could be
put in Courts, end that it was the interest of a free
country that its neighbours should be free, and now
we are suffering in the crippled state of our finances,
as well as our continental neighbours in their civic
and social relations, from the neglect of that advice.
In turning over the Parliamentary debates of that
period, there seems a sort of prophetic irony in some
of the speeches then delivered. The late Lord Lans-
downe, for instance, better known in history by the
name of Shelburne, on the 6th of February, 1795,
professes that, "with respect to the fulfilment of
pecuniary engagements by the Court of Vienna, he
had not any pleasing recollection of the past, and
consequently no very flattering prospect of the future;'
and so he proceeds to describe some of the finanieiai
tricks of that Government—slight preludes of those
which have been since performed upon a so much
more extended scale.
That by the old system of the Continental Govern-
ments the policy of Russia was controlled, we deny
altogether. By preventing any real confidence be-
tween the governors end the governed, by preventing
neighbouring states from arranging their differences
according to the real interest of the people rather than
the fancied dignity of the rult,r, that disunion which
is most serviceable to the designs of an aggressive
power was distinctly promoted. This may be traced
more or less clearly in the relations of most conti-
nental states, but nowhere more so than in what
regards the relations of Hungary and Austria. The
intervention of Russia in one form or other, for or
against the Austrian Government, had long been
rendered not merely possible but probable by the
suicidal proceedings of the Austrian Government
itself.

The Machiavellian policy
,of "Divide et impera"
was carried out to its fullest extent. Class was
excited against class; race against race; and, as
many races were connected with Russia by blood or
religion, or both, they were led naturally to look to
Russia as a protector. Nothing contributed more to
this Effect than the persecution of the orthodox Greek
religion by Austria. Whole communities were de•
prived of the ordinary ceremonies and consolations of
religion for a period extending through generations,
On the other hand, Russia liberally offered the aid
of troops to Austria, to put down the free debates o
the Hungarian Diet. These overtures were, indeed
rejected by Metternich, less infatuated than his reek.
less and incapable successors; but the attacks upon
the municipal institutions of Hungary were con-
tinued, and every obstacle was opposed to the repeal
of those antiquated laws respecting real property,
which were, next to the restrictive commercial system
imposed by Austria, the chief hindrance to the
material prosperity of the country. The great
objects of the reforms of the Hungarian patriots were
to further the material and moral development of
their country—to do away with all occasion for the
jealousies between the different races—to remove all
the disaffection caused by civil and religious disabili-
ties—and, as a necessary consequence, to form a
strong and united community in the great European
family. By these means, not by the Austrian system,
would the policy of Russia have been controlled.
Such a consummation it was the most earnest wish
of the Czar to prevent. And, accordingly, in May of
last year, we find Danilevski, the Russian Consul at
Belgrade, offering in the name of his master the
Czar, as head of the Greek church, 30,000 auxiliary
troops to the Serbs of Southern Hungary against the
Hungarian Government. And this was at a time
when the Austrian Camarillo had not yet thrown off
the mask, and when such an assistance would have
been an assistance against the House of Hapsburg.
This, too, was long before either Bem or Dembinski
had entered the Hungarian service.
So utterly needless is it to seek for any other
ground for the subsequent intervention of the Czar,
beyond the policy of territorial aggrandisement con-
sistently pursued by Russia since the time of Peter
the Great, and which made English statesmen pre-
vious to the first French Revolution, and Whig
statesmen of the old school, even during the palmy
period of French power, look upon Russia as the only
state from Al hich danger could arise to tle liberties of
Europe. Their warnings were neglected by the
Castlereaghs and the Aberthens; and we have pro-
moted Russian aggrandisement and favoured Russian
prestige to an extent that renders it difficult for a
Foreign Minister who pursues the old British policy
to repair the errors committed by hie immediate pre-
decessors. Ilad the Sovereigns of the Continent not
been aided, eluting the war, by the support, moral
and materiel, of England, the natural progress of free
institutions would now have formed the surest safe-
guard of the liberty of Europe.

STATE OF TRADE.
(Fi 'ora the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCraRSTER, TUESDAY.—The market exhibits a
continue d lifelessness and inactivity, both in yarns
and goon's ; and although a slightly increased busi•
ness may have been effected in one or two descrip-
tions of the latter for the home trade, it has heal so
very par. sti l and limited as hardly to be noticeable,
even in N. state of things like the present. The busi-
ness of the day has been altogether on a most restricted
scale. Th. s Eastern mere hints are lying by, wait-
ing the arrival of the mail, which may be
telegraphed any hour, and by which sellers are
hoping for advices that may in some degree benefit
them. The Germans are proceeding not less cau-
tiously than they del last week, in making their
comparative.ly trifling purchases ; the decline which
his taken place on this side leading their correspon-
dents to sipprei send a stiq further giving way in our
prices. A good deal of foreign business is no doubt
kept in nbeyan ce by this apprehension, but the very
extensive supp Lies which have been sent to various
distant quarters, within the last few months, are els.)
an unqusstionala7le cause of our present dulcess. Al-
though, however, under these circumstances, there is
as might be esc2ei it!d, a generally un4e,olirable bias
in prices, yet skinners and tranufa tut ri do not
reasioy agree to further concessions. stainer than do
this, many appear determined to reduce their
than
1. While cotton has not declined more than
1. in the last three wesks—and that only in
middling Americans—yarns generally may be
considered to have lost I. per lb , and goods still
more in the lighter fabrics, though less in the
heavier ones. The greater part of the spinners, and
the makers of beery goods, whose trade was pre-
viously a profitless or a losing one, are now, there-
fore, in a position which may well occasion deep
anxiety, and which cannot, indeed, continue much
longer without forcing on the alternative just re-
ferred to. Such a measure is, in part, abstained
from in the expectation that a renewed demand for
yarns for Germany must shortly spring up, as the
recent sudden supplies are known to he in the course
of rapid absorption ; and another cause of delay in the
matter is to be found in the fact that, with all the
difficulties attending the sale of their produce, there
certainly is not a very large aggregate accumulation
of stock in first hands.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY,.—We have had today less
business doing in the piece market than we had last
Monday, but prices have been firmly maintained.
The wool market has been extremely dull, with little
or no change in price.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY. The silk-throwing
trade of Macclesfield continues tolerably bri.-k, the
mills working full time, and there is a scarcity of
hands in this department. The demand that has
arisen for thrown silks, of some descriptions
adapted for continental purposes, may have
contributed to this; on the other hind, ma-
nufacturers, although fully at work, complain of
the unsatisfactory sale of goods this autumn, owing,,
no doubt, in some measure, to the prevalence of
cholera, which has diminished operations generally.
The dyers are getting slacker of work.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—The market has been
dull. Not much is doing in the home trade, and
foreign orders are not very heavy. 'Wool maintains
its price.

HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The inquiry for worsted
goods is nut equal to what it was a few weeks ago;
but the difference is not greater than might be expected
at this time, just between the seasons. The yarn trade
is very animated. The spinners are fully employed, both
for home and the continent, but chiefly the latter ; and
prices, especially of combed yarns, are looking
up. The wool market is steady, though not brisk,
and long wools are rather stiffer. Short wools go off
heavily, with the turn in favour of the buyer.
LEEDS, TuEspay.--The market is exceedingly dull,
but manufacturers are still delivering to contract, and
stocks are light. There is no alteration in prices.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOUIINAL.
TI NlES.—The struggle between the Board of
Heelzh and the formidable phalanx ref City guardians
(some 80 or 90 strong) whom they summoned before
the Lord Mayor last W(deeday, to answer for
neglect of sanitary orders, is virtually this—Shall the
saeitary gevernment of the country be for the future
central or locel ? Shall the management of the public
health be confided to a single metropolitan beard,
constituted ad hoc, or remain, as heretofore, a branch
of ordinary parochial administration ? The parochial
party and their supporters protest against the cen-
tralization of sanitary control, first, as an unconstitu-
tional encroachment on the " free-born Briton's
indefeasible right of local self-government ;" and,
secondly, as an "impertinent and unwarrantable
interference" with the sanitary operations already
adopted by the parish officers—operations which, it is
vehemently affirmed, have anticipated by their
promptitude, and surpassed in their success, the dila-
tory measures of the Board of Health. The parish
party are wrong at both points. The whole force of
reason and the whole weight of facts are against them,
as we will endeavour to show. In the first place,
the interests affected by the jurisdiction to which
they ley claim are not local, but collective. The
management of burial-grounds, slaughter-houses,
and manufactories leaving putrescent residua, con-
cerns the health, not merely of particular neigh-
bourhoods, hut of whole cities, and of the entire
kingdom. If the effluvia of St. Saviour's burial
ground, fir example, could be confined within the
boundaries of St. Saviour's parish, so as to infect the
air and the water of the recalcitrant rate-payers
alone, they might perhaps fairly object to be hindered
from cooking those necessary elements to their own
taste—from working up their dead friends as an at-
mospheric condiment, and flavouring their water-
springs with infusion of mortality. So, again, if the
Bermondsey cesspools and black tidal ditches stank
only in Bermondsey nostrils, and fevered no other
than Bermondsey blood, Berm: ndsey might perhaps
have a right to choose whether its rates should be
laid out in abating these evils, or saved up for subse
quent expenditure on the widows and orphans of the
cholera-smitten. In like mariner the churchwardens
of St. Bride's or St. Olave's, if backed by their parish-
ioners, have poseibly a right to put 5,000 corpses into
as many leaden retorts, cAl!ed coffins, and to distil
these corpses, through tapholes bored in the lead for
that purpose, into carbonic acid (the choke damp of
miners), sulphuretted and phospburetted hydrogen
(the rotten egg gaies), and other effluvia of the
same sort; provided always they can show that these
inevitable residua of the intramural burial trade
fall exclusively to the share of those who enjoy the
profits of the business. Every Briton is cock on his
own dunghill, no doubt ; but on this indispensable
condition—that his dunghill offend no one else's nose.
If, then, it appear that the burial-traders poison their
neighbours as well as themselves, and that parochial
economists, to save themselves a sewer rate, saddle the
whole community with a costly epidemic (costly,
alas ! in more senses than one), it is clear that these
sticklers for freedom practise the very despotism of
which they complaim, and trespass on the rights of
others while denouncing the infringement of their
own ; and when, therefore, on looking in any school-
boy's chymical catechism to the chapter on the diffu-
sion of gases, we find it a positive law of nature that
each gas acts like a vacuum to the others, and that
consequently the volatile poisons which issue from
the leaden alembics of each London graveyard radiate
by an unresisted force of expansion throughout the
whole metropolitan atmosphere, we arrive at a
direct scientific refutation of the pretended local
rights set up, and find parochial claims outweighed
by collective rights of paramount importance. So
much for the infringement of local rights and
privileges imputed to the Board of Health. The
charge is not merely untrue—it is the diametrical
opposite of the truth. The accusers are themselves
the culprits; and the Board of Health are but resist-
ing, by the means which the law places at their dis-
posal, and with the general approbation of the com-
munity, the unjustifiable encroachments of parochial
trespassers on the lives and liberties of the public at
large. But the parish party join issue with the Cen-
tral Board on the practical question itself. " The
measures," they say, " which we have taken to pre-
vent epidemics, or to meet them when they come,
have been better than yours—more vigorous, more
timely, more prudent, more efficacious, and, above all,
less expensive. You tell us to distribute monitory
handbills; we have done it already. You bid us ap-
point house to house inspectors ; we have a sufficient
medical staff as it is. You order us to empty our
cesspools, to close our graveyards, to flush our sewere,
and to cleanse our alleys. All this, so far as we
think it necessary and practicable, we have done, and
we refuse, at your bidding, to do more. The mor-
tality in our districts is not above a fair average, nor
beyond what might be reasonably expected during an
epidemic. We are men of business, better acquainted
than you with the necessities of our own poor, and
better qualified to provide for their relief.

in
your accusations--we despise your censure—
we deny your authority—and we set you
at defiance. Do your worst:' Such is
the language of the parish party. Many
samples of it have appeared in our columns in the
shape of letters from the boards of guardians. Let
us make allowance for its not, perhaps, unnatural
vehemence; and try, by the test of faces, the alleged
forecast, energy, and skill displayed by the parochial
efficers in their sanitary eperations. In April, 1841,
when an epidemic typhus broke out, and ravaged the
country with rapidly increasing violence, till at last,
in the autumn, it produced for several weeks fourfoldthe ordinary mortality, what measures of sanitary
reform were adopted by the parish officers? What
steps did they take to purge the air of those,
exhala-
tions hich are the recognised vehicle of typhoid
poison ? When, in the eleven weeks from
November
20, 1847, to February 5, 1848, there died in London
upwards of 6,000 persons above the average number
—an excess greater than the entire mortality produced
i
by pestilential cholera during the whole 21 weeks of
prevalence in 1832—what were the sanitary opera-
tions of the parish officers? What lesson did they
learn from this frightful mortality ? What steps
did they take to secure us against its return F When
the influenza—that forecast shadow of pestilence,
which preceded the black death in the fourteenth
century, the great plague of London in the seven-
teenth, and the first terrible invasion of cholera in
our own day—appeared with terrible significance two
autumns since, and slew in a single month (Decem-
ber) 1,000 of the inhabitants of London, where were
the vaunted energy and sanitary skill of the parochial
officers ? When, in the following spring, the Asiatic
pestilence itself, following its sure precursor, came
travelling rapidly towards us across the continent,
pursuing its old track, haunting its old lairs—enter-
ing even, in many places, the very same houses
which it attacked before—where were our parochial
strategists f—what scheme of operations did they
plan while there was yet time to keep the destroyer
from our shores, or to defeat and expel him when he
came ? The parochial officers did nothing—abso
lutely nothing. They left the graveyards festering—the
cesspools seething—the barrels of blood steaming in
the undergound shambles—the great mounds of
scutch putrefying in the Bermondsey glue-yards.
They left us all—,the poor in his squalor, and the
rich in his fancied security—to be smitten unawares.
And when at last it came, and the people were
perishing by thousands, and the medical officer urged,
month after month, on the parochial authorities that
the plague could only be combated in the homes of
the poor, by an organized army of preventive in-
spectors, what did the parochial authorities do ?
They rejected the medical officer's counsel—they
scouted his warnings—they even mutilated his
reports; and only in the 15th week of a mortality
unparalled for two centuries, did they consent to the
nomination of the domiciliary inspectors—who, in
their very first round, discovered the corpses of six
persons dead without medical aid. Such has been
the c,nduct of the men who claim to be entrusted
with the sanitary government of the country. Do
they deserve our confidence ? Shall we support them
in their factious resistance to the lawful authority of
the Board of Health ?

LEWES SIIEEP FAta.—The September sheep fair
was held on Friday, in a field opposito to the site of the
new county gaol and s,utli of the Brighton turnpike
load. The number of sheep penned exceeded 30,000;
there was also a good sprinkle of lean neat stock and
horses, and Mr. Thompson displayed a large collection
of argricul:ural implements. The fair opened with a
brisk demand for all sorts of sheep, but at prices about
twenty-five per cent. less than last year. This was re-
jected by the flock-masters, who were prepared to make
a lame deduction, but so great a sacrifice as that re-
quired could not be submitted to, and consequently the
fair flagged up to two o'clock, when some few sales were
effected. Mr. Hampton disposed of two lots of ewes to
Lord Hastings and the lion. C. C. Cavendish for 345.
A few lots of lambs were also sold at 17e. and IBs. Ai ter
dinner some other sales were made at the following
retest—Weathers from 265. to:30 .; ewes from 11, to
11. 145.; limbs from 103. to 25i., but there was a gene-
rally experienced what may be called a dull and heavy
sale, arising from no want of buyers, but from a seemirg
determination on their part to make no purchase, bet
at a greatly retitle,- d rate. The sale of rams was rather
brii,k.—Maidstone Journal.

THE YANXEE.—An American has said of
his
countrymen that the genuine Yankee would not he able
to repose in Heaven itself if he could not travel west-
ward. He must go a-head. Prophecy lotli forward to
the time when the valley of the Ali4sissippi shall over-
flow with this restless population, and Europe be subjtet
to a new migration. "What do I consider the bow,da-
ries of my country, sir?" exclaimed a lientwkian.
" Why, sir, on the east we are bounded by the ri,ing
sun; on the north, by the aurora borealis,•; on the west,
by the procession of the equinoxes; and or tho south, by
the day of judgment.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current, Sept. 25.)
SUGAR -To day tihi market was much better supplied
with ft ee-lahour sugar, and as merchants were desirous
to realise, prices gave way for meet descriptions. In
consevenee of a reduction on former rates of 6d per
ern havieig been submitted to for West India
a good business was concluded in both grocery and
refining .sorts. The purchases amounted to 950 hhds
and tres, including at public sale 160 hhds Barbadoes,
which went at 39. 64 to 41s 6d for fine and superior
yellow, and at 37s to 38s for ordinary to good. Of other
sorts 222 hhds 33 tres and 356 brls were offered,
and sold ; Jamaica, fine broWn at 365, low and middling
yellow 363 6d to 37s 6d, good 383 to 395; St Nitta,
low and good yellow 363 to 3ss, fine brown 35s 6J ;
Nevis, good yellow 38e; Tortola, low and good yellow
35. 6d to 38s, brown 343 to 355, and St Martius, yellow
383 to 39.6 d per cwt.
REFINED.-To-day the purchases made in Refined
Sugar were upon an enlarged scale still in the value
no improvement took place. For Bonded Crashed
Sugar the market has a quiet aspect, and sellers are
ready to accept former rates.
11,1euerreus.-This afternoon two parcels of Mauri-
tius Sugar were offered at public sale, amounting to
3,713 bugs; there was less desire to operate, and net
above half sold at a &elites on last week's rates of 61
per cwt; prices ruled as follows :-Fine yellow at 39s to
39. 6(1, middling end good yellow 37s to 38s 6d, low 35s
6d to 36s 61, fine brown 343 6d t', 353 6J, middling and
good 33s to 343, ordinary and low 28s 61 to 32s 6d, and
low to good grey 34s to 38s.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon four parcels of Bengal
Sugar were otFeted at public sale, amounting to 6,159
bags. The biddings ware languid, and not much more than
halt found puichas: ra at a decline on former rates of ed-
per ewe For white Benarea prices ruled from 39s to 423,
yellow, like Mauritius, 37s to 39s 6d, date, white 383 to
39, 6d, soft yellow 333 64 to 38s, grainy yellow 43s to
43s 61. Of Madras 842 bags were sold at lower rates;

low and middling strong 35s to 36s 6d.
FOREIGN.-To-day the market for Foreign Sugar
presented a quiet appearance, and supplies continuo to
get larger. At public sale 274 hhds, 11ycs, 104 barrels
Porto Rico were offered, and sold at a reductiou of 6d
per cwt; low and middling yellow went at 37s 6d to 38s
64, good 393 to 403, and is small part only sold.
MOLASSES.-West India has been in brisk demand,
and former rates are well supported. The sales have
been 500 puce, St. Kitt's, St. Vincent's and Trinidad at
15s 6d to 16s 6d, and fine Antigua 18s to 18s 6d per cwt;
incited some parties will not sell ut these rates. Bengal
Treacle has been dealt in with greater freedom at 15s
to 15s 64 per ewt., and
.on the part of holders there is
firmness ; the quantity en offer is also less than is tLe
former week.
COFFEE.-To-day the market for Ceylon Coffee
presented a quiet aspect. At public sale 133 casks
1 895 bags were offered; Plantation went Is to 2s cheaper,
and Native barely realised the former value. Plentatien,
good brought 62s 61to 643, good middling 583 to 595,
middling 543 to 575, low middling 52s to 535, fine flue
ordinary 48s to 518, fine ordinary 43s to 47,,,
low to good ordinary 38s to 425, pea berry 55s to 60.;
Native good ord 39a to 39, 6,J, and damaged 35s 64 to
38, 64; 200 bags Bahia were taken in at 363 to 403 for
good and flue ord, being rather above the value, whilst 16
casks of Jamaica sold rather cheaper, fine line ord 48*
to 49s 64, fine ord 43s to 45s 6d, and good ord 39s to 40e
64 per cwt.
Tea.-With all sorts of Green the market is much
better supplied, and there aro sellers at rather lower
prices, still few buyers are to be met with, and the
trade has a dull aspect. For ordinary and middling
sorts of Congou there is still a brisk demand, and
former rates are well supported ; the business con-
cluded in good and fine has been limited, and
easier rates are acceded to. In scented and black leaf
Pekoe few sales have been made, and there are sellers
upon rather lower terms. At auction last week 35,000
pkgs were 'offered, and 10,600 found buyers, the chief
part consisted of ord Congou.
RICE.-Tc-day there was no increase in the demand
for East India Rice, and at auction 1,350 bags Bengal
were only in part sold at 94 for good white, being the
full value, the rest was taken in at 93 64 to lOs per cwt.
&gent; -To-day at auction 20 eases Beucoolen Cleves
sold at Is 4d for mid bold; 4 cases Mace taken in at 2s
to 23 2d for slightly wormy, and 3 cases Nutmegs at
Is 64 for limed, slightly wormy.
SALTTETRE.-To-ddy sales to a fair extent have been
made by private treaty in rough, and at auction 300 bags
Calcutta sold at 263 64 to 2701 tor soft grey 17f per cent
refraction; these are rather full rates.
INDIGo.-A moderate business has been concluded in
East India since this day week by shippers and home
dealers, but holders have been unable to obtain any ad-
vance on last sale's rates. Fur auction on the 9!li of
October 16,691 cots are declared. Spanish is held for
tortner terms, but there are not many buyers.
SPIRITS.-East India Rum is offered rather at lower
rates, still only small sales have been made at 1* 2i to
Is 3d proof. Leeward Island met with little attention,
and Is 4d to Is 5d is, the value of proof ; piitee
have a downward tendency. In Demerara only
small purchases have been made at is 10d to 2s 2d
for 28 to 43 per ceet. over proof. In consequence of
rather lower rates having been accepted for ord and good
qualities of Jamaica a large business has been con-
cluded, and the purchases are 700 puns, &et, at from
2. 31 to 36 for 26 to 36 per cent. over proof. Sale* to
a fair extent have been made in the better kinds at
from 3* 21 to 3* 5d for 33 to 36 over,
and favourite marks at 36 44 to 43 per gallon. Further
advanced rates are freely paid for Brandy, end
the home trade demand continues to be extensive;
shippers hove also been again large purchlsers,
stocks in first hands are much reduced. For urrival
the demand continues active, and tally has again
been pod upon t xtensive. parcels at this port.
The value of Cognac best brands of the
vintage of 1848 is 43 64 to 4s 84 per gallon, and higher
rates are likely to prevail. Only a moderate demand
xists for Geneva, export sort at Is 9d to Is 104, and tine
home trade kind 2s 3d to 33 3d. nem is still no varia-
tion to record in the value of British-made Spirit, but
the demand is not bri:k.
Teeeow.-For Russian on the spot there is not a
br:sker demand, and prices are still on the decline.
Only limited sales have been made, and the rates ac-
cepted for fine P.Y.C. are 37s to 37s 3d per cwt.;
these moderate rates are expected to cause a
better gradual demand, as consumption is getting larger.
Home melted is quoted at 366 61 to 37s nett cash.
Other sorts of Tallow are further depressed in value by
reason of. large supplies. The parcels offered at auction
were only in part disposed or; and amounted to 220
casks of New South Wales, which went at 33a to 37s
for low to fine quality; 1,300 pkgs South American
333 to 36s 6d per cwt. For public competition on
Friday 1,400 casks, &c. of Tallow are declared. Rough I
Fat is quoted at 2s lid per stone.
OILS.-To-day at auction 25 tuns of Sperm Oil went
at 79/ 5s to SO/ 108, Ileadmatter 841; 120 tuns Seal,
pale 361 103, straw and tinged 341 to 351 ss, brown
31154; 100 tuns Whale, Southern 33/, and Newfoundland

HULL, SEPT. 25.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states, —We
have had a very moderate supply of wheat from abroad
during the bast week, and the market has been very firm,
with is advance on best runs of ha sit red foreign. Of
other articles arrivals are to a fair extent, and of barley
large; for malting qualities the demand is exceedingly
languid, and even for the finer descriptions of Said less
money has had to be taken, while, on the contrary, for
grinding the demand continues great, and at full prices.
There was only a moderate show of English wheat at
our this day's market, and, notwithstanding the dulness
yesterday in Mark lane, our farmers were quite indis-
posed to make any concession upon the rates current last
week, and such were generally paid for best descriptions.
More samples of new wheat shown, and condition good;
such was pretty free sale at 40s to 433 per quarter. The
weights ruu from 621 b to 641 b per bushel. Very little
foreign wheat offering, and of fine quality the st,clts are
now unimportant; wo make no alteration in our cur-
rency, but the market is very firm. The remarks wade
above as to barley are fully confined by the operations
of to-day; malting qualities quite neglected; grinding
free sale at full prices, and the market getting well
cleared of late arrivals. A good consumptive demand for
oats, as well as good beans, at our quotations, but peas
are only saleable at low rates for feeding purposes. Fur
boilers we have no present sale. Indian corn is selling
at 28s 4801 la The linseed market is well supported
and cakes are not quite so good to buy. Oor
quotations for rapeseed, are quite nominal, there
being no stocks. Rape cakes are scarce, both English
and foreign, and in good demand. With moderate
arrivals the bone market is very firm.

whilst Baltic was a shade lower; Irish new acs also
slow of ante, and 2d to 3d pr bushel eheaper. Flout

MILITARY.
Captain Levinge's company of the Royal Artillery,
at Woolwich, will relieve Captain Henderson s, at
Portsmouth, on the 3d proximo, the latter retureing
to Woolwich.
A detachment—of Lieutenant Pat‘rson, 1 ensign,
2 sergeants, and 50 rank and file of the 421 OP'
landers—will embark at Deptford on the 29. h instant
in the Pestonjee Bomanjee transport, as a guard over
200 male convicts from Queenstown to Bermuda.
Wooewicu, SEPT. 25.—The Minx steam-vessel
fitted with a high- pressure engine of 10 horsepower, ana
her screw propeller abaft the rudder, went down tha
river yesterday, on an experimental trial, under the
charge of Lieutenant Robertson, with Mr. Casey, of
Captain Austin's branch of the steam department, and
Mr. Taptin, of the factory department at Woolwicn
Dockyard. The Minx ran the measured mile tour
times, and the average speed attained was about foul;
and three quarter knots per hour, equal to the speed
obtained when the screw-propeller was fitted in the
dead wood of the stern, where the rudder is now
placed. The next trial of the Minx is to be made
with a disc engine, but no material advantage appears
to be gained by having the propeller abaft the rudder,
though it is li ble to many objections, as it cannot iu
that petition be unshipped, and owing to its project-
ing considerably below the bottom of the keel, it r an;
the risk of being easily broken when the draught et
water is barely sufficient fbr the vessel. It is also
inapplicable to large vessels, as the flanges of the prO•
peller would extend several feet below the keel when
revolving, and the weight of large screws give a
leverage when placed so far astern of the vessel that it
would be difficult to support them.
The In flexible steam- sloop, Commander Hoseason, is
Ordl-Trd to be paid off here on Friday next. A number
of the crew of the Fisgard are employed at present
upon her, upwards of 40 of her crew having been lett
at Portsmouth suffering from dysentery and other
complaints incident to-their return from a warm
climate. Four men of the crew were taken to the
Marine Hospital here to-day, two of them owing to
lameness.
The Terrible steam frigate, Captain Ramsey, is to
be paid off on Thursday, and will be again commis-
sioned almost immediately.
The Bee lighter has been raised and taken along-
! side the wharf wall, and the spare stores taken out of
her. The labourers are now employed iu pumping
out the water while the tide is low, and she will soon
be put to rights without much loss, the materials
being got out utitjured.
The Archer steam sloop is to have her screw-pro-
peller reduced from 11 feet 6 inches, its present
diameter, to 10 feet in diameter, and she will be again
tried down the river -in the latter part of the present
or early in the ensuing week. .
CIIATIIAM, SEPT. 25.—The Calypso, 20 guns,
Captain Henry J. Worth, was paid off into ordinary
oa Monday, the 24. h. Neither her bulk-heads nor
any of her internal fittings are disturbed. Owing to
the. protracted illness of Captain Worth, that officer
was taken yesterday to Melville Hospital. The Ma-
rines, consisting of 1 sergeant, 1 corporal, 1 drummer,
and 13 privates, joined the Chatham division the same
afternoon, and 5 privates proceed to Portsmouth.
Lieutenant George Webb, the officer in command,
belonging to the Woolwich division, proceeds to join
his head-quarters.
The Wolverine, 16 guns, was commissioned this
morning, by Lieutenant Christie hoisting the pen-
dant; and Commander Maxwell Falcon, appointed to
this ship, has also arrived, and proceeded on board
this day. Commander Falcon was promoted from
First Lieutenant as a reward for his conduct when in

command of a breaching battery,_and in storming the

stronghold, of tl:e rebels at NeW Zealand, with a party
of seamen and marines from the Castor, 36.

A party of tbe Royal Artillery, of the 11th battalion,
consisting of 27 nif-n, in charge of Sergeant Barfitt,
proceeded this mcrnirg to Tilbury Fort, to mount

some new guns, &c.
