By letters from Calcutta, dated the 17th Oct.,
we learn that Mr. CRAWFURD, the author of the
work on the Indian Archipelago, was about to
be employed by the Marquis of HASTINGS on a
mission of a very important nature, as regards
the commercial interests of this, country. Its
Object is to explore the coasts of Siam and Cochin
China, to ascertain accurately the productions of
each inhabited district, and the species of pro-
duce from other countries which they are likely
to consume and receive in exchange for their own.
A vessel has been expressly prepared for 'this
purpose, and Mr. ORA*FUItD, at whose sole sug.
gestion it was undertaken, has been furnished
with full powers aad facilities for its execution.
,It was his intention in the first instance to pro-
ceed to the settlenient at Sincapore, to obtain
the information which the communication with
the surrounding countries and islands rendered
easily attainable there. Mr. CRAWFURD was to
depart with the least delay possible.
Much interest is at present excited in the city
on the subject of the trade in talloW, and other articles cf Rus-
sian produce. The tendency of the new Tariff is understood to
be so decidedly inimical to English commerce, that an attempt
is making to impress on the Board of Trade the propriety of
recommending to Parliament the imposition of a heavy duty on
articles imported from Russia, particularly tallow, and the abo-
lition of the excise on soap and candles. This, as the advocates
of the measure .lontend, would have the effect of reducing a
heavy and unpopular tax, and of encouraging production in the
colonies, or in those countries which throw fewer impediments
in the way of our industry. We believe, however, that the
suggestion has not met with much encouragement from the
Board of Trade, the President of which is said to have declared
to a deputation of Merchants who waited on him with a me-
morial in behalf of the measure, that, so far from imposing any
new restrictions on trade it was the wish. of the
-- Board, it pos-
sible, to remove those which existed.-(Sunday Paper.)
His MAJESTY'S STATUE.—Another meeting was held on
this subject at Brighton on Thursday, T. R. KEMP, Esq. in
the Chair, at which it was finally determined, that the Statue
should be placed in the north enclosure on the Old Stevie, op-
posite the-Pavilion. It is to be pedestrian, of, bronze, not less
than eight feet high, and to be fixed on a granitepedestal. The
celebrated CHANTREY is to be the artist. The subscriptions
are completed. ,

The G azetic of Saturday contains a notice from
the Secretary of State for the Home Department; offering his
MAJESTY'S pardon to any person concerned in the murder of
Mrs. DONATTY, except such person who committed the mur-
der ; and there is also a reward of 100 guineas offered to any
person who shall discover 'the' culprit.—Rewards are also offer-
ed for persons who set fire to stacks of corn and houses, in dif-
fercnt parts of the kingdom.
WINCHESTER, MARCH 16.—The execution of James Tur-
ner took place on Monday morning in this city. He had been
convicted, on the'preceding Friday, of aiding and assisting in the
murder of Robert Baker, game-keeper to rl.'. A. Smith, Esq. of
South Tidworth, near Andover. (A full account of the circum-
stances of this melancholy transaction was given last week in our
report of the trial.) The unfortunate man was a native of Ando-
ver, where his father and family are living in much respectability.
He has left a wife, but no family, and compleated his thirtieth
year. His conduct after sentence was becoming his awful situ-
ation. He admitted that he was present when Baker was shot
by James Goodall ; and that, being unarmed, he then snatch-
ed a gun from one of his companions,:but denied having point-
ed it at the keepers, or intentionally flashed it. On the scaf-
fold he joined in the last acts of devotion with much ferven-
cy.—When the drop fell his sufferings rappeared momentary,
and his body was afterwards delivered to the surgeon of the
prison for dissection.
