THE INDIGO TRADE.

At a meeting of the Union Bank of Calcutta, held
en the 31st of December, the following resolution was
'lmposed.
" Resolved—That it is the opinion of the directors
that, in the present state of monetary affairs in Cal-
cutta, a much larger sum may be expected to be re-
alised from the indigo belonging to the bank by sending
it to England for sale, than by selling it here, and that,
by drawing against the shipments, the bank would pro-
bably be put in possession of funds to as great an amount
as it would be by sale here."
Proposed by Sir T. E. TURTON, Bart. ; seconded by
W. P. GRANT, Esq.

After this was read, a great deal of discussion ensued,
when the following resolution was proposed by Mr. J.
JENKINs, and seconded by Mr. SUTHERLAND :
" That it is contrary to correct banking principles,
engaging in mercantile risk and speculating upon a
rising market, and therefore that the indigo be sold. by
public auction in Calcutta."
To which Sir THOMAS TURTON proposed the follow-
ing amendment :
" Resolved—That it appears to this meeting that it
will be most for the advantage of the proprietors and
creditors of the Union Bank that the indigo of the bank
be sent home for sale in the manneLaroposed by the
directors in their resolution of the /91lIrriltimo."

Lord STANLEY presented several petitions

also a petion from Warwick in favour of the adoption
of sanitary measures ; also a petition from the Scar-

LONDON. MONDAY. FEBRUARY 21, 1848

While we would excite a formidable agitation
against the Ministerial scheme for the increase of the
most intolerable and iniquitous of all taxes, the tax
upon incomes, we must, of course, acknowledge that
a very extraordinary movement of a financial cha-
racter has become absolutely necessary. The country
cannot go on in security with a perpetually increas-
ing deficiency, and a deficiency, too, which at the
close of the ensuing twelve months will amount to
the enormous sum of 2,411,0001. Some provision
must be made, of course, for the prevention of such a
calamity ; some additional tax must be imposed upon
the community, or (there is yet another alternative)
the national debt must be increased by a fresh drain
upon our capitalists through the medium of a national
loan. Now we cannot but think that the whole po-
pulation will be unanimous in scouting the idea of
liiolstering up the national credit by an extension of
te national liabilities. 800,000,0001. is surely
enough in all conscience. Anything rather than an
advance in that direction. A war-tax, a starvation-
tax, a panic-tax, a deficit-tax—anything' however
grinding, unjustifiable, or oppressive (so long as it be
only removable) rather than such an insane and
profligate course as that of resorting to a supple-
mental loan. A loan is certainly the most
showy method of redemption, but it as cer-
tainly the most ruinous in the end. It
is an accession of strength to the present
produced at the risk of insuring exhaustion for the
future. It is the selfish salvation of a few
generations, secured at the expense of the ruin and
destruction of posterity. Those who would have the
temerity to advocate such a proceeding as that of
preparing for the next deficiency of 2,411,0001. would
be fit for nothing better than the delivery of a lying
panegyric over the ashes of WILLIAM PITT. There
is no question, however, just now as to the raising of

Kingdom

PASSENGRFS BILL.

Mr. L ABOUCHERE stated, in reply to Mr.
Cardwell, that if this Bill were not passed before the
emigration season arrived that no good could be delved
from it ; and looking at the advantage ithat had
accrued from emigration to America and elsewhere,
last year he could not consent to delay the Bill ; he
should, therefore, endeavour to proceed with the
second reading to-night.
Mr. DISRAELI said if every matter was referred
to committee up stairs that the House would have
its functions superseded.
Lord J. RUSSELL said the Bill had been deiised
to prevent the diastrous consequences that had arisen
from emigration last year, and that if it
was in-
tended to have any effect this year, that it ought
to be passed immediately, as contracts were being
entered into for commencing emigration in April.
It was necessary that Missionaries should be ac-
quainted with the details of the measure some-
time before they were required to carry
them out. Consenting to the second
reading to-night, would not preclude the House from
entering into a full investigation of the Bill in
Committee.
The conversation then dropped.

" CIRCULAR.

" The undersigned Consul has been charged by his
Ex :cellency her Majesty's Plenipotentiary, &c., to inform
he) Majesty's subjects resident at this city of his arrival
at the British Consulate, and that his Excellency will be

deputation of the British residents waited upon his
Ex cellency to offer their co-operation in any measures
to be taken; also their willingness to give their opinion
or advice on any matters that might be laid before them.
Th ey were informed generally, that his Excellency had
ma,. le demands, which, if complied with, would satisfy
eve s'y one for the present, though they would not inter-
fer 5 with any ulterior steps taken by her Majesty's Go-
fer nment. A public meeting was afterwards held; the
con duct of the deputation was approved of, and a letter
dra ,wn up the following day and addressed to Sir John
Da via. We subjoin the letter and the reply—they will
sly )%v the caution which is now deemed necessary in any
cot amunication with the Plenipotentiary:—
" .TO 1110 EXGELLENCY SIR JOHN F. DAVIS, BART.
" Canton, Dec. 13, 1847.
'Sir,—We beg to thank your Excellency for the
cm amunication made through Her Majesty's Consul
unc ler yesterday's date, and, as your Excellency has in-
vit iil vs to offer suggestions on the course to be pursued
in the present crisis, we avail ourselves of the opportu-
nit yto make the following remarks :
`lt would appear front what your Excellency stated
to t he deputation who had the honour of waiting on you,
tine certain demands have already been made of the
bin/ ►oriel Commissioner. In the event of these demands
not being acceded to, we presume other measures must
be a dopted.
" We are of opinion that whatever aggressive mea-
sun ►s may now be taken, they should not be of a nature
to debar the British Government from exacting that
gra re reparation hereafter which the circumstances de-
mai id,and prevented profiting by the opportunity afforded
by the late catastrophe of bringing to an issue other
poi) its of importance which have been long pending be-
twe en the two Governments.
To be left in our present position after the perpe-
trat ion of the horrible outrage just committed, even
per, ding reference to her Majesty's Government, seems
irnl lossible, and, with the feeling that it is so, we must
lea, re it to your Excellency to determine whether it be
pre cticable to station such a force here as will permit
British subjects to reside here, and carry on their trade
wit bout their lives being placed in imminent jeopardy, or
wh ether it be necessary, e.en at the sacrifice of their
ten tporary commercial interests, to remove them from
the port by the most stringent measures, the Chinese
Go vernment in the latter case being of course held re-
spo .nsible for all losses arising from such removal.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Current of Feb. 18.)
SUGAR.—To-day the home trade were more inclined
to operate in Raw Sugar; merchants also manifested more
firmness, and less freely supplied the market. Oa the
part of exporters, however, little disposition was shown
to do business. Of West India Muscovado the private
sales were 130 hhds and tres, whilst the rates ob-
tained are equal to those that existed previously; re-
finers as well as grocers showing more desire to operate.
The total sales for the week are 1,010 hhds and trcs.
The market for raw sugar closes with a firm aspect.
REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were dealt in with
more freedom by the home trade, Standard lumps at 545,
and brown grocery 53s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar
is wanted at former rates.

ceiving evidence to show that the incnmbrance on Mr.
Reynolds's property in Ireland reduced his annual in-
come below the amount of qualification required by the
statute.

CHELTENHAM.
Further evidence of bribery and treating was adduced
before the Committee this morning. One of the witnesses
who, at the time of the last election. in 1847, was the
proprietor of the Worcester Arms, proved that he sup-
plied a number of Mr. Borkeley's voters with refresh-
me❑t, to the extant of 41L, but Mr. Williams, the
party whom he had always considered liable, bad re-
fused to pay the amount. The witness had since
given up the Worcester Arms, and taken to driv-
ing a coach from Bewdley to Worcester. A
few days ago he was visited by a person named
Wheeler, who took an active part in the management of
Mr. Berkeley's election, who offered him 101. down, and
a prouaisc of a future 10/., it he would abstain from ap-
pearing on the Speaker's warrant, but ho refused to
agree to the proposal. This closed the case for the pro-
secution.

lIORSEIASI.

This Committee was engaged the whole day in re-
ceiving evidence of treating. against the sitting Member,
Mr. Fitzgerald. A person named Sandford, who kept
the Richmond Arms at the time of the election in 1§47,
was called to prove that Mr. Padwick gave the oiers
for the refreshments distributed to Mr. Fitzgerald's
supporters who met at the Richmond Arms, but
it was contended on the part of the sitting Member
that his evidence could not be received, inasmuch as suf-
ficient proof had not been put in to show that Mr. Pad-
wick was an agent of Mr. Fitzgerald. The Committee,
however, decided it otherwise, and the evidence was pro-
ceeded with. One other witness was also called to prove
treating, and the Committee adjourned.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The Lon]) CITANCHLLOR took his seat upon the Wool-
sack at Five o'clock.
FREE CHURCH SITES BILL.

Lord CAMPBELL presented petitions signed by
7,718 persons belonging to the Free Church of Scotland,
in favour of the Free Church Sites Bill.
Lord BROUGHAM thought the Bill was a violation
of the rights of property.
Lord CAMPBELL considered that as they interfered
with the rights of property in favour of railroads, they
had an equal right to interfere with those rights in the
present instance.
The Duke of ARGYLL hoped that the Scottish pro-
prietors would give sites, and thus spare their Lordships
the pain of discussing this Bill.
Lard BROUGHAM thought that Catholics, Quakers,
and all other sects had an equal right to legislative in-
tcrferenee to procure for them sites for their places of
worship.
The Earl of MINTO hoped the complaint would have
ceased before the Bill came on for discussion.
Lord REDESDALE considered their was no analogy
between this and other railway questions; railways
were- for the advantage of the whole community. Free
church sites were only fur the benefit of a dissenting
portion of the community.
Lord BEAUMONT said the question resolved itself
into this, viz., whether or not the Free Church of Scot-
kind was such a great public good as that the laws of
property might to be abrogated to favour it.
After a few words from the Earl of RODEN and the
Duke of ARGYLL, the petition was laid on the table.

HAMBURGH.

An attempt was made to create a riot in Hambnrgh
on the 12th, but the Burgher Guard dispersed the
mob, and restored tranquillity.

ITALY.

LOMBARDY AND PIEDMONT.

The Opinione of Turin, of the 11th, says during
the armistice Peschiera will be surrendered, the
Piedmontese artillery being first withdrawn from it.
On the arrival of the news of the surrender of
Milan at Genoa an enzeute occured of a very serious
character. The populace assembled in immense
numbers, and the cry of treason was everywhere
heard. The National Guard collected and proceeded
to disarm the Fort of Casteletto, which commands
the town ; the other forts were also seized, and the
artillery and projectiles were removed from all those
which commanded the town.

A telegraphic dispatch, received at Turin on the
12th at seven o'clock announces the arrival of
CHARLES ALBERT at Alessandria.
The Patria of Florence informs us that the Aus-
trians entered Modena on the 7th, and re-established
the authority of the former Government.
