Tia.—On Monday accounts were received from China,
stating that the Chincse Government had issutzti an ed lot,
prohibiting the importation into their ports of British go ids
away kind, whether in native or in foreign ships, requiring
a bond from the masters of any vessel entering the post to
trade that it does not contair. goods transshipped from s ny
British vessel, and consenting. to the confiscation of the slip
and cargo should anything. British be discovered on boar J.
Lin, the Commissioner, \Nitta in high favour with the EMperO r,
who fully approved of the; course he has pursued towards tile
English, and there was not the least foundation for the re-
port that he had been lowered in rank. On the part of
Capt. Elliot there had appeared some desire to place attairs
on an amicable footing ; but Lin was quite averse to this,
and stated that the edict stopping the trade for ever with
the English should continue in force. In India warlike
preparations against China continued. The dates were
to the 29th Feb. from Bombay, 19th Feb. from Calcutta,
and 7th January from Canton. The effect of the
above was to produce much desire on the part of the
trade to purchase on that and the following day, and in
Company's Congou a large business was transacted for
cash at 2s 5d to 2s SA-d, and a good many contracts wt re
made for short and-long prompts at 2s tid to 2s
which was an advance on the rates established towards
the close of last week of Id. to lid per lb. For Free
Trade Tea a good demand vtevailed for actual consump-
tion as well as on speculation, and prices improved Id.
In cash parcels a large haisiness was done at 2s 3i.,3 to
23 4d Inr common Free Trade Congou, and 2s 4d to 234101
for Ordinary Twankay. A goad many parcels were dis-
posed of for prompts at 2s bd for the former, and the latter
at 2s sisd, at which rates several parties were not disposed
to sell, but during tic I:st few days there has been less
life in the roarkr:i, and the transactions in Free Trade
have been rather limited, and chiefly confined to parcels
for cash, but. prices generally remain firm. For Com-

" SlA,—Her Majesty's Postmaster-General has received in-
formation that large nu:nbers of Letters, intonded for persons
residing in America, are constantly forwarded to and collected
by you at Bristol, as Agent of the Great Western Steamer, for
the purpose of being despatched by that vessel to New York; I
have to inform you, that the Acts of the Ist Vic., c. 33, and Ist
Vic., c. 36, expressly forbid, under heavy penalties, the collec-
tion of Letters otherwise than by Post.
" Many of such Letters are probably forwarded by persons of
whom you have no knowledge, for the purpose of evading the
Ship Letter Rates of Postage ; and to put a stop to a practice so
injurious to the Revenue, I would suggest that such Letters be

" A powerful novel, by a !Krum of very considerable
thought and ability. Not even Boz has come up to its autlior
in the powerful delineations of criminals. The scenes, too, in
which these are engaged are drawn with a great force, and
with a fear ul nakedness; yet they are nut so melo-dramatic or
merely phy,ical as some of a similar character i❑ Oliver
nor are they done with such appearance of effort. It
must not he inferred, however, that there is nothing but crime
in ' Stephen llugard ;' on the contrary, the fortunes of very

CIRCULAR FROM THE SECRE-

TARY OF STATE.

The Preston Pilot, of Saturday, contains a copy of a
circular issued by the Marquis of Normanby to the Lord
Lieutenants of counties, in consequence of the Bishop of
Exeter's address to the Queen on the Subject of Socialism.

" Whitehall, 14th Feb., 1840.

" MY LORD—An Address having been presented to the
Queen, praying her Majesty to direct that steps be taken
to prevent the diffusion of blasphemous and immoral doc-
trines by printed publications and by other illegal means ;
and her Majesty, in reply to the Address, having given
assurance, that inquiry should be made into the important
matters which form the subject of the Address, and that
reliance might be placed upon her determination to dis-
courage all doctrines and practices dangerous to morality
and religion,
" I have to request your Lordship to call the attention
of the Justices of the Peace of the county of Lancaster to
this subject, at their next meeting, at the General Quarter
Sessions of the county. lam further to request your
Lordship to recommend to the Magistrates assembled at the
Quarter Sessions, arid to any Magistrates to whom you may
think it advisable to make a communication before the time
of the Sessions, that, in case they should receive informa-
tion of printed blasphemous publications, or of blasphemous
speeches delivered at public meetings, and should deem it
necessary to make known such information to Government,
for the purpose of having it considered whether a prosecu-
tion may be expedient, thti should transmit to me such in-
formation, with a report of the speech, or copy of the pub-
lication, together with all necessary proofs which they may
be able to procure.
" I have the honour to be, my Lord,
" Your Lordship's obedient servant,
" The Earl of Derby, K. G., &c." NORMANBY.

JOHN THOROGOOD has been confined in
the Common Gaol of Chelmsford since the 16th of
January, 1839, for not paying a Church. rate of ss. 6d.
In consequence of his long confinement, his business has re-

scription, for the purpose of saving his affairs from utter ruin.
and as a testimony to him and to the country that they sympa-
thize in his sufferings, and honour the principle of religious
liberty, which is violated in his person.

BOW-STREET-(THIS DAY.)

Rebecca Kennedy, a servant, was brought before Mr.
HALL, charged with stealing a variety of articles, the pro-
perty of Afr. Walker, furniture-warehouseman, in Hol-
born, her master.
The prosecutor proved that the prisoner had been in his
service about a month; and within the first forty-eight
hours she entered his house she commenced depredations
in all parts of the house, by picking the locks of draweis
in the different rooms where articles of wearing apparel
had been deposited. On Sunday last, after witness and
his wife had returned from church, he went to the drawer
of the side-board, for the purpose of getting a biscuit. Oa
putting in the key, he found the lock had been damaged,
by having had a larger key recently forced into it, which
raised his suspicions, and he considered that he was justi-
fied in searching the prisoner's box, where he found two
silk handkerchiefs, a quantity of soap and candles, and a
yard of brown holland produced. The prisoner had also
made her way to the shop, for it appeared that the private
marks on several articles of ladies' wearing apparel had
been picked off; and he was not aware of the quantity of
property that might have been taken away.
Mr. HALL observed that there was quite sufficient eat'
dence to order the prisoner to be remanded.
The prisoner denied that all the property produced had
been found in her box as had been stated.
The prosecutor admitted that every article had not been
found in the box, as several of them had been concealed ja
different parts of the kitchen.
Another girl in the service of the prosecutor proved that
she was present when the prisoner handed one of the hand-
kerchiefs to her mistress, which she acknowledged to have
taken from her master's drawer, and she heard her mistres9
declare that she could not forgive her until her master
came home.

The prisoner in answer to the charge said she had taken
the several articles as had been represented, but it was ber
intention to have restored them to their places to avnla
being brought to the disgraceful situation she was then
placed in.
Mr. Hall directed the prosecutor to look over his stock, as
there was every probability he had been plundered to
considerable extent, and the prisoner to be remanded for
few days,
London, England, 1840-02-25

CHINA.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH wished to ask the
Noble Viscount whether he was prepared to answer a
question which he (Lord Ellenborough) had addressed
to him on Friday, as to whether any arrangement had
been made between the Government and the Court of
Directors with respect to the proportion of the expense
of the expedition to China.
Viscount MELBOURNE—No such arrangement
has been made.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH—Perhaps the Noble
Viscount will tell me whether any communications have
taken place on the subject, and if so, whether he is
prepared to lay those communications on the table.
Viscount MELBOURNE—No communication has
been made on the subject, except that of the President
of the Board of Control, announcing the fact to the
Court of Directors.

The Marquis of L ANS DO WNE laid on the table
papers showing the state of the commerce of the country,
from January 1839 to January 1840.

AFRICA.

Viscount STRANGFORD gave notice that on
Friday next he should present a petition from mer-
chants engaged in the African trade, and that ho
would then state to the House the course which he
meant to pursue in the following week in the shape of
a substantive motion on the original question.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We regret that owing to the great press of matter we cannot
find room for the long letter communicated by CLERIC US.
We must give the same answer to J. M. B. Addresses to the
Queen come from all quarters, and now possess little public
interest.
The Letter from Portsmouth to the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer will appear to-morrow.

LONDON:
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 11140.

In the Peers, the Marquis of WESTMINSTEft brought
under notice, on presenting a petition, the case of
several charities belonging to corporate towns, which
the Municipal Corporation Act had involved in
difficulties.

The LORD CHANCELLOR admitted ,the fact, but
stated that he did not well know how the evil was to
be cured, and be considered it could only be done by
Act of Parliament.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, jealous of the na-
tional honour, inquired, as if the subject had never
before
session of Hospital Island, in Port Mahon, and why
they were not contented with an establishment on
the Island of Minorca itself?
The Earl of CLARENDON gave a somewhat similar ex-
planation to that which hebad before given, and reminded
the Noble Marquis that We had no right to call the
Spanish Government to account for not having adopted
a resolution of the Cortes.
•The Earl of ABF.RDEEN was of opinion that the
French had long cast a longing eye on Minorca, end
their possession of the island was a subject of import-
ance. He thought we bad a right to be jealous on this
subject, as it concerned the security of our positim in
the Mediterranean.
Some further conversation tcok place, but nothing of
i:nr.ortance was elicited, except the Earl of CLAREN_
DON'S opinicn that the French had no ulterior objects in
vicar by occupying this islet in the harbour
of Port
Mahon.

Tee ~•farquis of LONDONDERRY afterwards brought

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sia—Having been known to many Members of the Le-
gislature to have deeply investigated the subject of the
means of employment, and the welfare of the great
body of the working people and the poor, I was
called before the Committee of the House of Peers,
on the 4th of July, 1814, to give evidence on the
then proposed Corn-laws, and stated the horrors and
misery that have been caused to millions of our fellow
creatures. Expecting many persons to have followed on
the same view, my observations were chiefly relative to
the rural districts, supposing the manufacturing interests
would have been more ably represented by others. A
quarter of a century previously, and as long a time since,
I have studied the subject, and am still of the same opinion.
After having been sworn in the presence of the then Lord
Chancellor and the Peers present, I had some weeks to
consult many of the most kind-hearted and best of eminent
men, who approved of my mention. I went free and
fearless in behalf of my country and the great body of the
people. Since that time, throughout this and other na-
tions, my efforts have been approved. I wish well to the
landed proprietors and occupiers, but far beyond this
I consider it my bounden duty to urge attention to the
means of benefitting the manufacturing and labouring
classes, and the nation generally, and no longer to fetter
the willing hand of Industry, of Trade and Commerce, or
to hold up the hand of human power against an abundant
and benevolent Providence, to outrage nature and defy
the Almighty God. I am, Sir,
Your obedient humble servant.
