LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1846.

Several facts of an interesting, if not of an im-
portant, character have transpired in the eastern ter-
ritories of Asia since our last dispatches from that
quarter. This intelligence has just arrived by an
extraordinary express in anticipation of the ordinary
mail ; and, according to the information thus con-
veyed, it would appear that the Lahore Govern-
ment is solicitous for the continuation amongst them
of the British authorities, while Englishmen gene-
rally are most obnoxious to the Chinese population.
Contradictory, however, as these partialities and pre-
judices may appear, they prove on investigation

to be inspired by the same sentiment—the sentiment
of nationality. What is apparently a generous cour-
tesy on the part of the new Administration at
Lahore, is, in reality, nothing beyond the mere
anxiety for self-preservation. On the other side, the
children of the Celestial EMPEROR are inimically
disposed to the British residents, because their pre-
sence is an incessant remembrance of an ignominious
defeat and of humiliating concessions. The feelings
of both races are natural ; but while those of the
former have, as yet, proved altogether innocuous,
those of the latter have brought down disasters upon
themselves.

Rumours have continued so prevalent about the
Seikhs having resolved upon the reorganisation of
their armies, that much anxiety and trepidation have
arisen in the Government of the Maharaja, insomuch
so that it is reported to have made a requisition for a
prolongation of the time stipulated for the stay of the
British regiments in Lahore. Only recently invested
with the prerogatives of office, it is not surprising
that this Government should find itself,still too feeble
to resist single-handed the warlike insurgents who
were only discomfited after an almost unprecedented
bloodshed, and that notwithstanding the soldiers
under Sir HUGH GOUGH were rendered almost in-
vincible by individual hardihood, by general discip-
line, by all the most adroit evolutions, and by all the
most terrible instruments of destruction that the
scientific genius of war has devised. It would
indeed be frivolous, as well as ungenerous, to
deny the existence of consummate bravery among
the Seikhs, whether chieftains or privates ; and
remembering that characteristic of those dis-
persed freebooters, it would be the acme of rashness
in an embryo Government like that of the Maharaja
to expose itself wilfully to the incursions of such
valourous enemies. The alternative, therefore,
is, the extension of the sojourn of the English
conquerors in the vicinity of the new Ad-
ministration. However much it may be de-
sirous of carrying on affairs in perfect independence,
and uninfluenced by the presence of the Europeans,
the preservation of its own existence is a question of
infinitely greater moment. The lesser grievance seems
therefore to have been selected, and, by a somewhat
sagacious and prudential forethought, the negative
aid of the English seems not only to
have been desired, but actually requested. The
information obtained from Hydrabad is not

entirely unworthy of consideration. According
to the most accurate accounts, the expulsion of the
Rohillas has been definitely resolved upon by the
Nizam, and for the purpose of insuring the better
realisation of this object the assistance and recom-
mendations of the Resident have been earnestly en-
treated. Consequent upon the compact thus
effected between the Nizam and the Resident,
and impelled by the active measures which have
already been taken, all the rebellious Zumindars,
saving the tributary Zumindar of Gudwal, have
submitted at discretion. With the exception of the
defeat of four thousand men, under NUESIMA REDDY,
in Cuddapah, and the obstinate refusals of GROOLAD
SINGS, the countries of India continue in a state of
comparative tranquillity. After the many san-
guinary campaigns which have, year after year,
afflicted those regions, it is refreshing to find even a
temporary cessation from incursions and insurrections.
An incident to which we have already alluded, and
the narrative of which is given in another column,
has recently divulged the feelings of animosity which
are still rankling in the bosoms of the Chinese.
When an English merchant cannot proceed
through the streets of Canton without being
liable to the molestation of a fanatical mob solely on
the score of his being a foreigner, and in open disre-
gard of the inoffensiveness of his character, it is mani-
fest that his countrymen can be, there,in no very excel-
lent repute. We can understand how a populace may, i n
moments of remarkable excitement, vent their dis-
like for a whole race by pouring their derision upon
an unfortunate individual of that race— just as the
citizens of Madrid mobbed an unhappy tailor on the
recent opening of the Spanish Chambers. But when
a crowd of idle vagabonds like these Chinese deli-

berately assault a harmless wayfarer during a period
of profound peace, oblige him to seek refuge from
their violence in a structure called klingqua's Hong,
storm that shelter by showers of brickbats, and com-
mit such extraordinary acts of insubordination and
brutality as to require the calling out of the Chinese
soldiers and police before this Englishman could
be rescued from his rather perilous predicament, we
may feel confident that a bitter antagonism towards
Great Britain is cherished by the populace. It is
lamentable to reflect that the silly rancour of these
people recoiled on this occasion with some violence
upon themselves, several of the Chinese having been
killed during the tumult, and several seriously in-
jured. According to the magisterial report, three were
killed and six wounded, while according to the popular
rumour 13 were killed and 20 wounded. 'Whether
the proclamation subsequently issued by NAN HAI
HIEN, the chief magistrate of Canton, will
prove efficient in quelling this on the part of
the population is rather dubious; but it is earnestly
to be hoped such additional measures may be taken
either by himself, or KEYING, as will render
such another outbreak impossible. Beyond this,
the English residents must combine an aspect
of conciliation and firmnesss if they are desirous of
ingratiating themselves with the Chinese, or if they
are merely solicitous, indeed, for their own security.
The friendship of a nation so singular cannot be
acquired except with considerable difficulty; its
hatred may, on the contrary, be readily aroused.
And it is upon a knowledge of these things that our
national and individual policy with China should be
regulated.

The chief difficulties that at present interpose
;hemselves and prevent immediate recourse being had
,o the waste lands in Ireland, as a source by which
employment, yielding an ample return, may be
afforded to the labouring population, are occasioned
by the limited nature of the estates, and the several
charges and encumbrances affecting the owners. Much
time would necessarily be lost in the investigation of
the titles of the granting parties, before individuals,
associated companies, or county board., could satis-
factorily ascertain that they would be safe in expend-
ing their money thereon. As Mr. O'CONNELL has
said, " the complication of interests, the properties of
minors, the properties vested in trustees for married
women, the properties in the hands of the receivers
of the Court of Chancery, and of other creditors and
annuitants, all these and many other complicated
relations would require much time and labour to ar-
range, in order to secure any Government loans made
for profitable work." This is quite true. We may
add, the subsisting entails and the charges affecting
lands still in the hands of the owners. Much delay
would be occasioned by these causes before the
people could be set to work thereon, and in the mean-
time the necessity for instant occupation is pressing.
The supplying food to the people cannot be postponed
under any circumstances. The safety of the country,
the preservation of its peace and tranquillity, the
averting of outrage and disturbance, and, beyond all,
every consideration of humanity, of Christian feeling,
demand immediate action. We are sure, however,
that there is no case in which the works were com-
menced under the sanction of a presentment duly
made at a sessions held under the new Act, either
with the public money or that of individuals advanced
for the purpose of carrying out the object and giving
the necessary employment, that the Legislature
would not pass any Acts necessary to give full
security for the outlay. Few private persons, however,
would be willing to advance their money subject to such
a contingency, and for the present, and until the
meeting of Parliament, we can only hope to have
operations for the reclaiming the waste lands com-
menced at the public expense, or of that of the in-
dividual owners who may be in a position them-
selves to undertake the necessary outlay on their
own properties. Should the Legislature, however,
assemble in November, as probably will be the case,
a very short general Act might be passed, which
would attain the desired object. Desperate cases re-
quire prompt and vigorous remedies, and however
much an undue interference with the rights of pro-
perty, the compulsory taking of the land from private
persons, is to be deprecated in ordinary circumstances,
the extreme urgency of present events, the great
benefit to the nation at large that would be attained
by such a proceeding, without any injury to indivi-
duals, would not merely justify, but demand such a
course.

that in any case
We would therefore suggest,

when a presentment was duly passed for the occupa-
tion of labour in the reclaiming of waste lands
within the district, a jury should forthwith be im-
pannelled to ascertain the present value of the lands
required. This value might be stated both at a gross
sum of money and at a reserved rent; to be paid on
a fee farm lease for a perpetuity. The owner or
occupier should, in every instance, be allowed the
option of undertaking the work himself, upon enter-
ing into recognisances in an adequate amount 'to
commence within a certain limited time, to give the
required employment, and execute the improvements
in a fair and bond fide manner. Should he be un-
willing to do so, the presentment at the sessions
should confer a good and perfect title on the person
or persons by them authorised to proceed with the
undertaking, giving satisfactory security, by recog-
nisance or otherwise, for its due performance. Until
a clear title was made out by the party or parties
claiming to be entitled to the purchase-money, the
ascertained rent should he payable out of the land to the
person in possession thereofat the time of its being taken
for the public purposes, but such person or his
.suc-
cessors, or the person who could establish a perfect
and unimpeachable title, should be entitled to the
sum at which the fee and inheritance was valued on
his making out his right thereto. Such a course
would be more just than that which is at present
adopted with respect to tenements taken for public
purposes, where parties are put to the expense and
annoyance of making out a title, in order to obtain
payment of the purchase-money, here it would be
optional with them to do so or not; if they were satis-
fied with a well-secured rent they would have it for
ever, and it would be in lieu of the land, for any who
might thereafter secure them, or for those who had
charges affecting it. If they wished the money value,
they should show the same clear title that any ordi-
nary purchaser would require. The immediate
taking of lands is not without a precedent. In
the year 1845 an Act was passed empower-
ing the Admiralty and Board of Ordnance
to take, 'without any previous sessional notice,
any quantity of ground that might be required for
the service of the army and navy, or for naval and
military works contemplated to be constructed in the
United Kingdom. The measure we have suggested
would be but a slight extension of the principle
thereby sanctioned. It would allow waste and un-
productive lands to be taken for the purpose of being
improved and brought into full cultivation, on the
presentment of a baronial sessions, approved of and
confirmed by the Board of Works. This, we think
should be one of the first enactments passed on the
meeting of Parliament. Another most valuable pro-
vision would be the permitting of the employment
afforded under the Labour-rate Act, to be applied to the

improvement of agriculture, as well as to public
works. On this subject a quotation from the ad-
mirable work of Mr. PowLETr Scaora, to which we

lately alluded, must be more convincing than any-
thing we can offer on the subject. That gentleman, in
speaking of the means that exist in Ireland for the
profitable employment of its entire population,
whether as landholders cultivating farms, or as
labourers draining, reclaiming, improving, and culti-
vating, after a better fashion than prevails at present
throughout that country, its fertile, but most
neglected and mismanaged soil, says,--
" Fourteen millions of acres of land at present in
tillage, but undrained, fenced only with rude banks
of earth, with scarce anything to be called farm-
buildings, and cultivated on such a system that it is
not too much to say that one half of it is always in a
state of fallow. No, not fallow (that is too flattering
a term), but covered with rushes and weeds, to rest
for five or seven years till the other half is exhausted
by scourging crops, and which, in the opinion of the
best judges, might, by the employment of more
labour in thorough draining and high cultivation, be
made to produce four times as much as it does at pre-
sent ; here is a field for the occupation of idle hands."

Did the opinions here so forcibly and ably put for-
ward require any confirmation, it would be found
in the report of Lord DEVON'S Commission, in which
it is stated :

" We think that no person acquainted with Ireland,
or who takes the trouble of referring to the evidence
collected by us, can doubt the importance of encou-
raging agricultural improvement throughout the
country—including in that term improvement of the
dwellings and farm buildings, as well as the better
cultivation of the soil ;" and they add, in reference
thereto in a subsequent part, " We are convinced that
in the present state of feelings in Ireland, no single
measure can be better calculated to allay discontent,
and to promote substantial improvement throughout
the country."

The opinions thus expressed are confirmed by the
proceedings and resolutions adopted at the various
meetings held almost every day in Ireland. They all
insist on the importance of the labonr being applied to
works which will combine substantial improvement of
the land with immediate remuneration to the occupier,
and the means of making the same reproductive to
him. The only question appears to be, by what mode
can this be equitably and fairly carried into execu-
tion ? This may be difficult, but we think not im-
practicable ; the modus operandi may be fully matured
before the month of November. We shall, on a future
occasion, offer our suggestions as to the manner in
which we think it may be effected.

Madrid papers of the 15th have arrived. Their
contents, however, have been anticipated in some
measure by the arrival, by express, of the Madrid
Gazette of the 16th and the receipt of a telegraphic
dispatch of the 18th. This latter makes the impor-
tant announcement that the address of the Congress
to the QUEEN has been voted unanimously except one
vote-159 against 1.

The Gazette of the 16th contains the QUEEN'S
answer to the address of the Senate felicitating her
MAJESTY on the double marriage, and also the follow-
ing official announcement of the quotations of Spanish
funds on the Paris Bourse :—" We are enabled to
announce that the Judicial Chamber of Paris has
received orders from the French Government to quote
on the Bourse the Three per Cents."
The papers of the 15th state that Mr. BULWER had
received dispatches from the English Government
approving of his conduct in every partioular, and
giving him power to act for the future
in any manner which he may deem ex-
pedient. He had a long interview with Senor
ISTURITZ on the 14th, and it is said formally pro-
tested against the MONTPENSIER marriage, as con-
trary to the provisions of the treaty of Utrecht.
Don Ermico has also, it is said, formally protested
against the marriage of the INFANTA. The military
have now taken up the question, and are loud in their
protests against the French alliance.

The Eco del Comercio states that 'petitions to the
Cortes against the marriage have been agreed to by
the military of Madrid, of Jamarilla, and of Badajoz.
The petition from Jamarilla contains the following
passage :

" Madarn,—The Infanta of Spain, the heir presump-
tive to the throne, is in the eyes of the Spanish people
its second idol, and for that reason they wish her, as
well as their Queen, to have for husband a Spanish
Prince—a Prince who would render her happy, and
would also contribute to that of all Spaniards. Madam,
the signers to this petition, and those of whom they are
the representatives, find in the Duke de Montpensier
all the qualities of a good Prince, but they see with
grief that he is not the most suitable for the hand of
your august sister ; for, independently of the obstacle
to be found in treaties which ought to be respected,
and which will not permit a Prince of the House of
Orleans to contract such an union, there exists, Madam,
another and a more powerful reason, and that is the
little sympathy which your people feel for anything
which comes from France ; repugnances founded on the
conviction that it was by that Power that the throne of
Saint Ferdinand was trampled under foot, and that war
and desolation were spread throughout unfortunate
Spain. In fine, Madam, this aversion is founded on the
fact of our now seeing around us the remains of thou-
tends of houses destroyed by the fires kindled by the
hands of the descendants of Saint Louis ; and that we
have still among us the sons of Spanish women who
were violated by the French soldiery."
NAEVAEZ was expected in Madrid on the lath.
The Marquis DE SANTA Cnuz, the Marquis DE
Poirmt, and Senor ARANA have been ordered to pro-
ceed to the frontier, to receive the Duc DE AIONT
PENSIER.

The Carlists in Catalonia' have had several of

SPAIN,

(From the Times.)

MADRID, SEPT. 16.
The Infante Don Enrique had addressed to the
President 3 of both Chambers of the Legislature a
protest against the marriage of the Infanta Luisa with
the Duke de Montpensier. Ile had done so as a mem-
ber of this royal family,of Spain, and as such interested
in the question of the eventual succession to the
throne, decreed to his family by the constitution, in
case of the failure of direct issue from the daughters of
Ferdinand the Seventh.

A telegraphic dispatch, dated Madrid, 18th in-
stant, announces that the Cortes adopted on that
day, unanimously, with the exception of one vote,
(159 to 1), the address in reply to the message from
the Queen.

It was believed in Paris that the Duke de Broglie
was about to leave for London on a mission from the
French Government.

The departure of the Duke de Montpensier was
said to be fixed for Saturday.
The appearance of the English fleet at Cadiz on
the 11th was the principal cause of the fall in French
securities.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY

OLD COURT.

(Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman GIBBS.)
A TASTE FOR MUTTON.—John Jones, a shoemaker,
and Henry Page, a labourer, were charged with stealing
251bs. weight of mutton and 251bs. weight of beef, the
property of Joseph Orger—Jones having been before
convicted of felony.
It appeared that the prisoners were observed at half-
past one, on the morning of the 30th August, in a shed
in Surrey-buildings, Old Kent-road. One of the wit-
nesses (a policeman) had suspected that something was
wrong, from the fact of finding some beef and mutton
there, and he having hid himself, had the satisfaction of
finding the prisoners enter, and Jones say to his compa-
nion, " It's all right, put them in the basket." They
were then taken into custody.
Mr. Orger identified the beef and mutton as his pro-
perty. The pieces had been stolen from his house on
the same night.

The RECORDER summed up, and the previous convic-
tion against Jones having been put into Court, the jury
found both prisoners Guilty ; when Page was sentenced
to one year's imprisonment, and Jones was sentenced to
seven years' transportation.
ROBBERY FROM THE RESIDENCE OF MR. GRaNE,
M.P.—George Knight, aged 41, a labourer, was charged
with feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling-
house of Thomas Greene, Esq., M.P. for the City of
Lancaster, and stealing therefrom three dresses and one
shawl, value 31., the property of Miss Henrietta Greene,
and three dresses and other articles, value 3/., the
property of the housemaid, Sarah Herdman.
Mr. Ryland conducted the prosecution. The prisoner
was undefended.

The evidence of several witnesses went to show that,
about half•past seven in the evening of the 24th August,
the prisoner was observed on the wall of No. 17, Brook-
s treet, Westminster (next door to Mr. Greene's), but as his
dress, bespoke him a labourer; no particular notice was
taken of the circumstance. Soon after, the housemaid
on entering her room, the window of which she had left
open. discovered the prisoner lying on the bed, and she
ran down stairs and gave the alarm to the butler. A
policeman was sent for, and on a thorough search being
made, it was discovered that the window of Miss
Greene's room, which adjoined that of the housemaid's,
had been opened from the inside. The prisoner was him-
self discovered on the roof, without his shoes, and a
quantity of stolen property under his arm. The case
was fully proved.
The RECORDER having summed up, the jury found
him Guilty of breaking into and stealing from the house
of Mr. Greene, property above the value of 51.—Sen-
tcnced to seven years' transportation.

NE IV COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT and Mr. Alderman
HUGHES IluGnEs.)
The Court was occupied the whole morning with
hearing Mint cases, none of which possessed any point
of public interest.

MARLBRO'-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Matthew Carrell, a young man, seemingly in unfor-
tunate circumstances, was placed at the bar, having
given himself into custody, for breaking the lamp before
the police-station in Vine-street.

Mr. HARDWICK —Why did you do this? Defendant
—Sir, I have been five clays without shelter, and with
little to eat. The defendant then stated that he had
been a clerk in Manchester, and had been discharged.
He left Manchester immediately without the knowledge
of his friends. He had some money when he came to
London, but that was all gone, and he had no friends
here.

Mr. HARDwICK said he had better return to Man-
chester, where his friends would aid in getting him a
situation and reinstating him in his former position, and
gave him ss. _

Isaac Edwards, was charged with a brutal-assault on
Charles Whitehead, a tailor, in Marshall-street.
The complainant said he was returning home a few
minutes before three o'clock this morning and was turn-
ing short round a corner, when the man at the bar and
two others walking in the opposite direction came in
collision with him. They flung him aside, and when
he remonstrated with them, they threw him down,
struck him, and kicked him. He got up and ran across
the street into his own door, but they followed and
pulled him back, threw him down again and kicked him,
all three of them, in the face, the eye, and the ribs.
Police-constable, C 157, said, in consequence of hear-
ing screams of "police," he ran towards Marshall-street,
and saw the complainant on his back opposite Craven
Chapel, and two men, the prisoner and another, kicking
him most brutally. One of them saw him coming, and
made his escape.
The prisoner said he did not remember much about it.
Mr. HARDWICK said, he had no doubt the complainant
would remember it for some time to come. He ordered
the prisoner to pay 51., or go to the House of Correction
for two months.

'MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The demand for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was
kept up with considerab!e animation both by the trade
and speculators. Sales estimated at 10,000 bales, of
which 3,000 were taken on speculation. Prices were
fully supported to a slight advance. The sales consist
of 1,500 Surat, at 34d. to 4id. ; 600 Egyptian, at 61d.
to i d. ; and American, 4.0. to sid.—Shares were not
active.

The 'Overland Mail br4gs more favourable accounts
respecting the condition of the money and mercantile
markets, although the political intelligence from the
Seikh territory is of a somewhat less tranquil tenor.
As respects the very decided movement making here
for the abolition of the salt monopoly, there is a point
of view, independent of that, affecting the comfort of the
poorer class of consumers in India, which concerns
greatly the mercantile community in England. We al-
lude to the employment which the transport of the
article will afford to British shipping. An eminent
merchant writes:—

" When we regard an article so adapted for the pre-
sent exigencies of the British shipowner as an outward
cargo, and consider that, were India to draw her supplies
from this coui,try, employment would be afforded
British shipping to the extent of 165,000 tons annually,
I certainly think the present bonding system for salt
now in force -in Calcutta, whereby this would be ef-
fected, resolves itself into a question that concerns
the shipping as much as, if not more than the salt ma-
nufacturer's interests; and no exertions, no means,
should be spared to effect an object so desirable to
the shipping and commercial intercourse of this
country.

" The requirements of export tonnage to Great Britain
direct considerably exceed the number that arrive out
straight from this country; the difference that have been
dispatched hence with outward cargoes to Australia,
Ceylon, Bombay, Singapore, and other ports in the east-
ern seas, and which are induced to proceed up, seeking
home freight from Calcutta on account of the higher
rates and quicker dispatch generally to be met with at
the seat of the Bengal Presidency, but which would all
have proceeded out to Calcutta direct had it been pos-
sible to have procured a profitable and remunerative
outward cargo."

The disposition in London and Liverpool to speculate
in corn and cotton makes money a little tighter here,
without any actual pressure, however, as the private
firms cannot greatly enhance their rates while the Bank
of England acts liberally in accommodating the mercan-
tile community.
The Portuguese Bondholders' Committee have deter-
mined upon memorialising the Government of Donna
Maria upon the subject of the mulcting process so
shamefully attempted with the foreign creditors, and we
only hope that if the memorial does not meet with
proper attention, there will be such a public meeting as
will convince the Lisbon insolveets that they may try
their game of chicanery " once too often." There are
many large capitalists here who feel so highly indignant
at the scurvy treatment experienced after the many sa-
crifices they have made, that they would ptobably not be
slow to revenge themselves by making a loan in aid of
the Miguelites. The ingratitude of the Portuguese Go-
vernment could scarcely be too harshly repaid, little as
we should feel disposed to approve of this course.
MR) Public Securities have been flat and declining
