of Sir Robert Peel, the reform of the English tariff, ham
passed, as in all probability it will, the Upper liothe,
it will have a favourable effect on the price of our pro-
ductions, and on their exportation, so that a direct
communication with England will be of great
importance to our provincei. What an influence the
general reform of the English tariff will have, is already
seen by the considerable increase in the price of cattle
in consequence of the reduction of the duties on imper-
tation, and the prospect of their entire abolition in the
sequel. When part of our prodactions find coy admit-
ance into England we shall nevcr have to fear a want of
exportation, since all our ai ticks, if the projected reform
of the tariff take place, will rind a ready market in Eng-
land ; and fven many things, which hitherto could nut
he thought, may become ar:icles of exportation when a
r regular communication by stain-boats bi!.,%s eels this city
and London is establish -d.

Tim HAGUE, MARCTI 17.—Mr. G. 11. Gonn•lie, Con-
sul-Generll of the United State.; of America, has given
notice in the public journal:; th;it the state of New York
has it-sued an- ordinance by which the captains and

the subsistence of the emigrants that they bring. This
law has become necessary in consequence of the great
number of indizent. emigrants that crowd the public
houscs in New York.

The arguments in this case, Which were commenced yesterday,
were resumed to-day. The case came before their Lordships upon an
appeal from the judgment of the Court of Session in Scotland, and
the question ra`sed was whether the trustees for improving the navi-
gation of the river Clyde were empowered by the statutes under which
they acted, to acquire, by means of a compuls try sale, not only the
grounds adjoining the river necessary for the purposes of the trust,
but also the pier duties, and all the other rights and profits belonging
to the superior of the grounds, at prices to be fixed upon by a verdict
of a jury.

appellants, and Mr. Turner and Mr. Andrews were in support of the
derision pronounced below.

sufficiently favourable to the case of the convict (now under sentence

mend to the Crown the remission of the capital punishment; and,
therefore, if nothing intervene during the week, the wretched youth
will undergo the last sentence of the law ou Monday, the 30th
instant.

ruption of votes have come to light. The most confident expectation
prevails in llridport that Mr. John Romilly will be, within a month,

chief partisans of Mr. Cochrane.—t7wonicle.

The annual exhibition at the Louvre has recently
been opened. The catalogue contains 2,412 numbers, viz., 2,107
paintings, miniatures, and water-colour drawings ; 135 pieces of sculp-
ture, 39 architectural designs, and 131 engravings and lithographic
prints. This exhibition was instituted by Louie XIV. in 1699. At
the first exhibition the catalogue contained only 219 numbers, and
the second, which was in 1704, had not increased to more than 384.
During the reign of Louis XV. the catalogue never exceeded 321. In
1791, under Louis XVI., it reached 791 • in 1793, under the Republic
it amounted to 1,030; in 1814, under ;he Empire, it attained 1,321

ROYAL ASIATIC SOCIMTY.—The ordinary meeting
was held on Saturdity, the Right lion. the Earl of Auckland
(President) in the chair. A communication was read front
Professor Royle, the botanist of the East India Company,
detailing some further results of the experimental trials
for the culture of cotton in India. Since the last report of
Dr. White, 30,000 acres had been put into cultivation, whilst
from one acre alone the produce was 7001b5., whilst more
was to be expected. All that was now requirsd to make
East India cotton a most valuable export commodity, was
the employment of European agents in India markets who
would select the best quality. 'the next paper read was one
communicated by the Noble President on the geographical
conditions of the Punjaub territory, which was described in
its territorial limitss The most interesting information con-
nected with the present crisis was that the climate was
very healthy to Europeans, and much more so than that of
liitulostan. From November to January, snow generally
fell to a depth of live feet, but the rainy season was not uni-
form, these being chiefly showers, which were very genial in
this warm climate. No region in the earth was better wa-
tered, and most of the plants and fruits common to Europe
are developed in high perfection, wanting only the superior
cultivation of this country. The horses of the Seikhs are
more celebrated forform and feature_ in the neighbourhood
of Lahore, than in any of this wide district.
SEPARATE CONFINEMENT.—A correspondent of the
Chronicle calls attention to the evils of separate confinement,
as detailed in the papers on Van Diemen's Land lately laid
before Parliament. The results are far from satisfac-
tory, for on embarking three hundred or four hundred
convicts from Pentonville, the superintending surgeon
describes these rum as falling into strong convul-
sions on their first coming on board, and in which
they continued for four days. Infinite care and kindness
did, after that period, restore them, but nevertheless their
seclusion, though not of more than eighteen months at the
maximum, had so impaired their faculties, that, docile and
obedient to the highest degree, they could nor understand
the plainest directions ks settling them in their berths !
Every means was resorted- to on the voyage to awaken their
dormant intellects; they behaved themselves remarkably
well, and on their arrival at the colony, their fair characters
secured them situations, but they remained greatly depressed,
probably from their peculiar treatment at home, and are
without energy. These facts show the evil of solitary con.
ALemeut—for the priamai were evidently imbecile.
