THE INDIAN MAILS.

---
ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 15.—The Peninsular and Oriental
Company's steamer Oriental arrived here on the evening
of the 13th instant, with 120 passengers. She was de-
tained four days at Malta by the non-arrival there of
that portion of the Indian mail sent viol France; conse-
quently it is only the Southampton portion of the mail,
with the dates to the 23d of October, which has arrived
here, and which went on the same night to Cairo and
Suez, there to be put on board the steamer Hindostan
for India. It is expected that the Hindostan will sail
from Suez to-morrow evening, or at the latest on the
morning of the 17th.
The passengers who came by the Hindostan, and have
paid their passage all the way through from India to
Southampton, have been very impatient at the delay
they experienced at Alexandria; some wished to have
their passage-money returned, others demanded that
their hotel expenses be paid for them by the Peninsular
and Oriental Company's agents, who did not seam in-
clined to meet them in any way.
Those passengers from India who took their berths
only as far as Alexandria were very fortunate, as they
proceeded to Trieste the day after their arrival here by
the Austrian steamer, which sailed on the 11th.
Her Majesty's steamer Ardent arrived here on the
13th inst., to wait for Lieutenant Waghorn's dispatches
from Bombay, which she will convey to Trieste, to make
the third trial of that route.
Prince Leopold of Bavaria, who arrived here from
Constantinople on the Bth in3t., proceeded to Cairo in
one of the Viceroy's own steamers, which has been
placed at the disposal of the Prince to convey his Iloyal
Highness to the upper country.
•
It is supposed by the delay in the return of the Ariel
to Alexandria, that the Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany do not intend to run that steamer again to Mar-
seilles, in opposition to Lieutenant Waghorn's trials via
Trieste; and it is, moreover, said that the Ariel is to
take the place of the Iberia in the conveyance of the In-
dian mail between Malta and Alexandria. The weather
has been very stormy here during the last week, and the
French steamer from Marseilles, due on the 11th, is only
just reported in sight.
The Oriental sails this day at noon for Malta and
Southampton, with forty-five passengers and the Cal-
cutta mail cxf the Bth of October, which has been lying
here since the 10th inst.

wonderfully developed by the emulation resulting
from foreign competition. British manufactures
will no longer be hampered in their intercourse
with foreign customers ; new markets will be

opened to them ; their vast enterprise will extend
through channels from which they have been hereto-
fore debarred. By the increased exertions, of the

landed proprietors and tenant-farmers, the peasantry
will be ensured a constant and remunerative em-
ployment. By the additional demands upon the
manufacturers the operatives will obtain better op-
portunities for the exercise of their industry ; capital
will ,be embarked in a thousand propitious
speculations from which it was previously
restricted ; artizans and farm-labourers will
find themselves no longer sustained by a merely
casual occupation ; our more 'frequent intercourse
with other nations will render our friendship more
valuable, and, consequently, the preservation of peace
will be more readily insured ; the prosperity of the
empire will be no longer variable and intermittent,
but will be established, for the first time, upon a
healthy foundation; no invidious preference will
thenceforth be given by the Legislature to
the interest of any one class ; but, beyond
all, food will be abundant, nutritious, and
accessible. This, we are aware, is an "oft-told
tale," but we repeat it for a purpose. We repeat it,
that we may thereby recall to public recollection the
certain and magnificent advantages consequent upon
the recent victory achieved in the British Parliament.
We would for a moment revive to the world in so
many words the vast and beneficent importance of the
triumphs free-tra
becaused it
e pri c mor
e
inestimable triumph the ore
in
was obtained over such
eti mble
prodigious and accumulated difficulties. The glory
of this commercial conquest was not so much in its
a of
being gained in spite of the amazing wealth, the ter-
ritorial influence, the aristocratic power, and the Par-
liamentary animosity leagued together against it, as
it was in being a conquest acquired over generations
of misrule, and over prejudices than w hich none were
ever more inveterate or universal.
Who obtained this victory ? Who removed this
ban ? Who dissipated this incubus ? Who van-
quished these prejudices ? Who abolished the per-
nicious sway exercised by this amazing wealth, this
aristocratic influence, this Parliamentary animosity ?
We are by no means ungrateful for the exertions
of many estimable men fur the abrogation of the
corn-laws and the opening of the ports. We would
on no account depreciate the value of their services
or detract (even by insinuation) from the importance
of their different labours. We can never forget how
valiantly, how consistently, how devotedly the Hon.
CHARLES VILLIERS toiled for years in the cause of
the people. We can never forget that he was pre-
eminently the popular champion in the days when
free trade was a derision and a mockery. Neither
can we forget the labours of Mr. BRIGHT, of the
Right Hon. MILNER GinsoN, of Colonel InosirsoN,
of EBENEZER ELLIOT, of W. J. Fox, and of several
others, who, by their eloquence, their reasoning, their
poetry, and their pamphlets, contributed to increase
the weight upon the lever by which so much was to
be ultimately moved. Their claims upon the popular
thankfulness cannot be overlooked; their exertions
cannot be forgotten so readily; their names are
cherished in the hearts of the people. Bear-
ing these claims and these exertions distinctly
in our recollection, we would, nevertheless, direct the
attention of our countrymen to the paramount claims
and predominant exertions of one man yet unmen-
tioned. We would remind our fellow-citizens, that
as the late Prime Minister, Sir ROBERT
PEEL himself, intimated on his memorable re-
signatien, if credit be especially due to
one individual in the realisation of those
glorious boons, that individual i 3 RICHARD COBDEN ;
if the national gratitude is due to one benefactor, that
benefactor is RICHARD COBDEN; if the vanquishment
of so many opponents is attributable particularly to
one leader, that leader is RICHARD COBDEN.
So universal was the acquiescence in this opinion,
that immediately on the passing of the great measures
of 1846, it was determined to afford the Hon. Repre-
sentative of Stockport some tangible proof of the
gratitude and admiration with which he was regarded
by Englishmen. It was remembered that to his un-
tiring zeal, to his persuasive and frequently superb
oratory, to his consistent logic, and unanswerable
arguments, were traceable more immediately the im-
pulse of the blow by which the fabric of Protection
was overthrown. It was seen, moreover, that in striv-
ing for the good of the people, CODDEN had not only
grievously neglected his private interests, but had
actually injured his constitution. Every one was
aware of his distinguished integrity, of his noble
forgetfulness of self, of the purity of his patriotism,
and the absorbing ardour of his benevolence. Every
one knew well enough that he had laboured not for
any pecuniary recompense, but for the happiness and
prosperity of the people. It was deemed, however,
incumbent upon the nation to bestow upon RICHARD
COBDEN some substantial testimony of its gratitude,
and thereby to testify to future patriots the readiness
of the population to acknowledge their illustrious
services even during life. The COBDEN testimonial has
already nearly reached the sum of eighty thousand
pounds. Nevertheless, it is but right that this testi •
monial should be completed forthwith. Further
delays would be ungraceful. The sum, we have
just observed, is something approaching to eighty
thousand pounds. Of itself it is a splendid amount,
no doubt ; but it is insufficient as a voluntary offer-
ing to such a man. It is insufficient, because the
original proposition of those with whom it originated
is remembered. Let us not on such an occasion, in
celebration of such a victory, in honour of such a
political champion—let us not haggle about certain
additional guineas and shillings. Another twenty
thousand, and the testimonial will be a hundred
thousand pounds. - Surely we will not tender our
hero less than a plum ? Another twenty thousand,
and the offering indicative of the love which England
bears to RICHARD COBDEN will be complete.
Mr. COBDEN is now travelling through Continental
Europe for the renovation of his health, but his fame
has preceded him everywhere. In Paris he has re-
ceived the welcome of a liberator ; in Bordeaux he
has met with the enthusiasm of the agriculturists •
in Madrid, in Seville, and in Cadiz, ' Spain
has received him with more than idle
merely
acclamations. Mr. COBDBN will be
speedily
returning homewards : what better opportunity
for the presentation of the testimonial of English
gratitude ? Let him, fellow-countrymen, be thus
welcomed on his arrival ! We call upon you, as
you prize the blessings conferred upon you, and your
children, and your children's children by the eman-
cipation of commerce, we call upon you, as
you appreciate its importance and revere the
hand by which you have been thus nobly endowed,
to welcome RICHARD COBDEN with that most appro-
priate welcome—to realise at once the comparative
trifle by which the hundred thousand pounds will be
completed—and at some fitting banquet (say in the
scene of so many free-trade demonstrations, Covent-
garden Theatre, or elsewhere), to present that testi-
mony to one of the greatest of our national bene-
factors. Remember, our success is no common one,
and, beyond all, remember that RICHARD COBDEN
merits no ordinary reception on his return from his
European pilgrimage !

We trust that Lord PALMERSTON, to whose energy
and decision we are indebted for the possession of the
island of Lubuan, will not permit the affairs of Spain
and of Cracow entirely to engross his attention. It
is in the East we must seek for a counterpoise to
redress the balance of power, and we must seek for that
counterpoise not by the triumphs of war or diplomacy,
but lay the peaceful triumphs of commerce. The
Eastern Archipelago consists of 12,000 islands, ac-
cording to the Arabian authors (and there is no reason
to believe that their accounts are in this respect at
all exaggerated)) inhabited by an industrious
and essentially commercial people, who are anxious
to exchange the rich produce of their islands—gold
camphor,; gums,
spices, and, though last not least,
birds'• nests, for articles of British manufacture.
Some of our readers may be inclined to smile when
we mention birds'-nests as articles of traffic, but
these birds'- nests form a most
important article of
commerce in the trade with China, where they are con-
sidered as the greatest delicacy, and where birds'-nest
soup is held in even higher estimation than turtle soup
is among the nations of the west. These birds' nests,
which in China fetch immense prices, would be wil-
lingly exchanged by the natives of the islands for

British manufactures, and thus, through our trade with
the Celestial Empire, might be made the means of
opening to us an immense market for British
manufactures among the islands of the
Aichipelago of the Indian Ocean. In addition
to cultivating friendly and commercial relations
with the inhabitants of these islands, and
in enabling us to do so, the possession of
Lubuan as a naval station and a commercial empo-
rium, and more especially (abounding as it does in
the richest :coal-mines), as a steam-packet sta-
tion, will be invaluable, every effort should
be used to open a communication with the
Japanese empire. An embassy, cn a scale of
magnificence worthy of the great empire from which
it is sent, should be at once dispatched to the Court
of Jeddo. A mission of this nature should have
been dispatched by Lord ABERDEEN at the close of
the Chinese war. That opportunity having- been
neglected, we hope Lord PALMERSTON will now take
advantage of one equally valuable, namely, the giving
up of Chusan, notwithstanding the non-fulfilment
by the Chinese of all the articles of the
treaty they had entered into with us.
This fact, so honourable to us, is well known to the
Court of Jeddo, and cannot but produce a deep im-
pression in our favour, and render the Japanese far
from averse to enter into a treaty with a mighty and
powerful nation, which so scrupulously observes
its engagements. That such favourable dispositions
towards England exist in Japan there can be little
doubt. Still less doubt can there be that Lord
PALMERSTON is both able and willing to take advan-
;age of them.

The St. Petersburgh Gazette announces that the
Russian troops, on the 16th of October, defeated
ScITAMYL, killing SOO of his followers, and taking
four pieces of cannon, 21 caissons, several colours, 300
prisoners, and the axe which was always carried
before him.

Madrid papers of the 22d have arrived. They
confirm the intelligence, which appeared exclusively in
Tic Sun of Thursday, of the defeat of SA DA 13AN-
DELIA, by CAZAL, near Chaves. They also publish a
letter from Lisbon, which states that Colonel WYLDE
had gone to Oporto to mediate between the Junta and
the QUEEN, and that there was every prospect of his
efforts being crowned with success.
The ClaKior Publico publishes a letter from Man-
resa, of the 13th, stating that a Carlist band of two
hundred men had appeared in Catalonia. Their war
cry is—

" Carlos VI.! The Constitution of 1837! Death to
the tributary system !"
The Carlists are persuaded, adds the same epistle—

" That in a few days they will dispose of a formidable
force, seeing what the feelings of the neighbouring
country people are. It is probable that we shall be-
hold a renewal of the melancholy scenes of the last
civil war."

Mr. HENDERSON, the agent of the Spanish bond-
holders, had had several interviews with Senor MON,
the Fi►►ance Minister, and was well pleased with his
reception.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.
The Journal des Debuts copies from the Austrian
Observer, of the 20th, an article of enormous length,
which is evidently put forth by the three Powers as
an official justification of their conduct in destroying
the independence of Cracow. This article is only an
amplification of the manifesto of the Emperor of
AUSTRIA, which has been already published, and is,
to use the words of the Journal des Debits, " a mere
piece of special pleading in favour of the worst cause
ever known."

The National of the same day contains an address
from the Democracy of France to the Democracy of
Europe, in the name of the Committee of the National
and the Reforme. This address, which is signed by
the Abbe LAMENNAIS, MM. DE COURTATS, LEDRU
ROLLIN, GUINARD, GOUDCITAUX, FERDINAND FLO-
CON, and ARM AND MARRAST, and which is drawn
up by the Abbe LAMENNAIS, is to be translated into
every European language, and 500,000 copies of it
circulated in every country of Europe. After pro-
testing against the extinction of the nationality of
Poland, it calls upon the democracies of all nations to
rise, and thus addresses her oppressors and tyrants :
"We thank you. By tearing the last veil that con=
cealed you, you have dissipated the last illusion of minds
too confiding, removed the last pretext for cowardly in.:
action from the timid and feeble, and hastened your ruin
and the downfal of 3 our detested sway. There existed
similar compacts, denominated treaties by you, which
covered your conspiracies against the human family,
doomed by you to eternal slavery. You have torn those
treaties. You have abolished all positive right; you
proclaim the natural right, the imprescriptible right,
which guarantees an existence to every nation, as well
as to every individual, to be null and void in your eyes;
the right of force is the or,ly right you recognise. Let
force, then, decide between you and us I In the insane
pride inspired to you by your material power, which we
dread not, because we believe in another power
—in the power of real right, in the power of duty—you
declare war against all nations, against society itself,
which only lives by duty and right. Well, we accept that
war. War on those conditions becomes a holy war, and is
to us synonymous with victory, otherwise God would
not be God. It will no doubt produce martyrs, but, after
the struggle, you will appear humble, not before a Szela
and his sanguinary instrument, but before social justice,
which is both upright and inexorable. There will be
wailing and gnashing of teeth; there also will be the pure
joy elicited in the hearts of nations by the assurance
of a better fate. Democrats of all countries, brethren
united by the same faith and the same hope, combine
your efforts in one common and unrelenting action.
Hoist amidst enslaved Europe the standard of emanci-
pation. Let nations startle at its sight, and, by an unani-
mous exertion, burst asunder their fetters. The hour
has come for everybody to perform his duty as a man.
To-day the combat—to-morrow the triumph ! Rise,
then!"

In the National of Saturday there appears a reply
to this energetic appeal, signed by the Central Polish
Committee of the Democratic Society, on behalf of
1,462 of their countrymen, which concludes thus :
" You have seen Poland protest, arms in hand, on a
hundred fields of battle ; you will again see her do
so ; she is preparing for fresh struggles, and the last
crime perpetrated will hasten the hour of her freedom.
The Vienna treaties no longer exist. That compact
of spoliation, which never bound Poland, has been
destroyed by those who made it. Instead of it, arises
the alliance of nations ; and it arises more powerful
than ever. None can break it up."

The Moniteur publishes a royal ordinance, autho-
' rising the Minister for Foreign Affairs to open an
extraordinary credit of 290,000 francs, to defray the
expense of extraordinary missions.
The same official journal contains a notice of the
Minister of Marine, announcing that a supply of
' 4,000,000 kilogrammes of coal will be adjudicated at
Rochfort on the 19th of December, 1840, and that a
lot of 500,000 kilogrammes of coal for coke,
third
another
of 4,000 hectolitres of slack for forges, a
500,000 kilogrammes of Welsh coal, and a fourth of
4,000,000 kilogrammes of sea coal, and 400,000 kilo-
grammes of new English cast iron, will be likewise
adjudicated at Nantes on the 26th of the same month.
The Siècle in commenting on the extraordinary
credit again opened to the Minister for Foreign Affairs
asks, "And what have we bought with all this mo-
ey 9 The contempt of England, and outrages from
the Northern Powers, which our diplomacy has not
foreseen, and against which it has not had the courage
to protest."
The Presse of Friday contradicts the rumour that
had appeared in sonic': of the other papers, to the effect
that Count MOLE had had an interview with the
KING in the early part of the week, and says that
Count MOLE has not been in Paris, nod will not be
there until December 10. On Saturday, however,
Count Mots, who, according to the Presse, was to
have remained at Champlatreaux until the 10th De-
cember-, arrived in the capital, and immediately after-
wards had a long interview with Count MONTALIVET,
he head of the Civil List Department, the confidential
agent of Loris PHILIPPE in all political affairs, and
who was a member of the Cabinet in the last MOLE
Ministry. Count .MONTALIVET, before seeing Count
MOLE, had a long interview with M. DUCICATEL, the
Minister of the Interior, between whom and M.
GUIZOT differences are known to exist. Should
Count MOLE form a Ministry, he will, it is said
have the support of M. TIMES and his party.

iVIONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
In the Liverpool market on Faturday the sales of
Cotton were 8,000 bales, of which 3,000 were on specula
tion. The sales comprised 6,000 bales of American at
sd. to 6d. per lb., and 1,200 Egyptian at 70. to Bd.
The market was very firm. Shares and scrip rather im-
proved in price. •
It is with much regret that we have learnt this morn-
ing, that at a meeting of spinners and manufacturers
held at Ashton at the close of last week, it was agreed
for a limited time to work short hours. At Oldham
and its vicinity the principle has been fully adopted.
With weather such as that which has just set in, the re-
duction in the rate of wages will be a most material draw-
, back upon the comforts of the labouring population,
which are not very bounteous even when the mills are
at full work. There is a feature in the state of the Cot-
ton Market, at Liverpool which is rather important at
the present juncture. The rage for speculation in the
staple has fallen off very considerably, and should the
next accounts from the United States prove more satis-
factory, as respects the yield of the new crop, prices must
recede and increased activity be imparted to the manu-
facturing districts.
At Mark. lane to-day the price of Wheat has been
reduced by ls. per quarter, there having been a good
supply from the home countries. It is now pretty con-
fidently believed that prices of Grain have seen their
highest for this year at least.
There are, as yet, no later accounts from the United
States or Canada. It is very confidently believed, how—
ever, that late in the day some advices will come to hall&
by the: Halifax steamer, which is now entirely due.
In the Stock Exchange, the value of Consols is scarcely
so high now, as it opened in the morning. The pries.
for the account has ruled from 951 to 95/, and for
money at 95+. The Three-and-a-quarter per Cents.
Reduced, are at 95i to 96, and the Three per Cents.
Reduced are at 931. The premium upon Exchequer
Bills is at 7s. to 10s.
The quotation for Brazil Stock to-day, is 84, and
for Mexican 21k, and for the Account. Portuguese
are at 37i; Spanish at 26* 1,1; the Three per Cents. at
37i i; the Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are at 93;
while the Four per Cent. Certificates have advanced from
911 to 92k.
The Railway Share and Serip market is very steady
to-clay. Not a great deal of business has been trans-
acted.
