FEMALE INFANTICIDE IN INDIA.

There are a few things for which the government
of the' late East India Company has more reason to
be proud than for the vigorous measures it adopted
for the suppression of female infanticide in Katty-
war. The men guilty of this crime belonged in
general to the ruling classes, the punishment for
which, in 1836, was a fine of Rs. 50, and, in 1841, a
ffne of Rs. 1,000. When ruling classes have become
so cruel and unfeeling that without remorse or com-
punction they can, for the sake of paltry interests,
put to death their own offspring, it is time that they
be declared unfit to rule and lead nations. Besides
the inhabitants of Kattywar, some of the hill tribes
were guilty of this crime p they propitiated their
deities with human sacrifices—such were the
Merya sacrifices among the Khonds of Central
India. It is a very easy thing, no doubt, to
trace such sacrifices to a sacred origin. That is not
the question. Can society benefit by any institu-
tions that countenance such crimes as the murder
of female infants P Ntre have always endeavoured
to respect the religious systems of our subjects. In
many instances we have yielded our own notions
of what is right in favour of the prejudices of the
natives. For many years we even showed our con-
nection with the worship of the people. We sent
our soldiers to grace the solemn processions of the
natives on their holy days—drew a revenue from
'the rites of heathens—and even laid our offerings
on the altars of Hindostan. But surely the Go-
vernment could not carry its principles of religious
toleration to the extent of permitting cruel rites,
and could not look on calmly at the slaughter of
children and the victims of the suttee—llindoo
widows on the pyre.
Up to within a few years infanticide prevailed to
an alarming extent in Kattywar. Dr. Wilson
states (and his figures we think rather low, Major
Walker making them nearly double) that 500 in-
fants were put to death annually in Kutch and
Kattywar. In half a century that makes 25,000
female infants murdered. Can such crime pass un-
noticed and un-retributed ? The provinces of
Kutch and Kattywar were scarcely six years in
continued peace or quiet. Bloodshed, rapine, and
massacres were incessant. Since we put the tribes
under tribute, anarchy has ceased, and with it has
ceased those national crimes of which it was the
meet retribution.

EXPORT MARKET.

COTTON.—Domand is very brisk, and prices have ad-
vanced. Stocks are generally cleared away as soon as they
reach the market. A very large supply is shortly expected,
however, which will be sufficient to meet the growing de-
mand. A fair amount of business has been done for the
China market.

WooL.—There is more activity at present, and large pur-
chases have been made at higher prices by native shippers
Supplies are coming in freely.
OILSEEDS.—A change may at length be reported in the
tone of this market. There is an active inquiry for linseed,
but no actual advance in price has taken place, owing to the
supplies being liberal. There is a slightly improved inquiry
for rapeseed, and prices aro firm. Teelseed is dull.
Remr.—There is a demand for local consumption only.
COFFEE.—Mocha is scarce, and still maintains a high
value. Malabar is in moderate stock at our quotations.
PEPPER neglected.
MADDER ROOT in little inquiry at previous rates.
Or fum.—The market continues steady. Prices rule to-
day at 1,320 rs. per chest. During the past fortnight the
steamers Pekin and Bombay Castle carried respectively 650
and 1,400 chests of opium to China.
FREIGIITS.—Since our last report a large amount of
tonnage has arrived, and the rates of freight have conse-
quently again receded. The present quotations to Liverpool
are 17s 6d to 20s for cotton, aild 158 to 17s 6d for seeds. 'I o
London, 17s 6d for seeds, while for cotton the rate is nomi-
nally 20s. To China, its. 10 per candy aro offered. There
is very little doing for other ports.
MONEY MARKET AND EXCHANGE.—The Money Market
inclines to be stringent, but as yet the rates of interest remain
unaltered. Government Securities are less in favour, and
lower in value. Five per Cent. Loans are quoted 88 per
cent., and Four per Cent. Loans, 75 per cent. ; the New
51 per Cent. Loan is quoted 95 per cent. The Exchange
on London has materially advanced during the fortnight.
The rate opened at 2s Id, and has gradually risen to 2s lid
to 2s 1 3-16 d for Bank Bills, with other quotations in pro-
portion; for Documents, 2s lid to 2s 1 5-16(1. On China.
at 60 days' eight, Rs. 222 per 100 dollars.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 24th state that the
enthusiasm created by the declaration in the Cham-
bers of war against Morocco was so great that an
ex commander of a battalion of the National Guard
had waited on the President, in the name of that
body, to solicit permission to raise a corps of volun-
teers, and they add that the Minister had inti-
mated that the Government would most likely grant
it. The army to act against Morocco has been
formed into five divisions, one under General
Echague of three brigades; the second, under Gen.
Zabala, of four ; the third, under General Ros de
Olano, of four ; the fourth, under General Prim, of
three ; and the fifth, of cavalry, under General
Galiano, of two. The artillery to be sent with the
expedition has been definitively fixed at 68 pieces.
Marshal O'Donnell, commander-in-chief of the ex-
pedition, was to leave Madrid in nine or ten days ;
he is to have, it is said, the power of making
promotions as he pleases up to the grade of colonel.
Several changes in the unform and equipments of
the expedition have been made, and the officers
had been ordered to provide themselves with revol-
vers. The Correo Autourafit states that some
little delay in the formal proclamation of war in
the Gazette had taken place owing to Spanish
subjects in Morocco not having obeyed, so promptly
as had been expected, the injunctions given to
leave the country with their families and pro-
perty. The cholera continued to prevail in Alge-
siras, and an officer of the staff had died of it, never-
theless the journals affirm that the sanitary condition
of the army in that place is "highly satisfactory.'
An artist named Van Halen, several photographers,
and a literary man had been ordered to ac-
company the expedition in order to perpetuate
the remembrance of its high deeds. The fi-
nancial measures presented by the Minister of
Finance to the Cortes propose a tax on the sale of
real property, an augmentation of the stamp duty,
and in case the army be fixed at 100,000 men, power
to increase the land tax up to 12 per cent., and the
tax on manufactures and commerce up to 10; it
further proposes that all public functionaries who
receive from 3,000 f. to 16,000 f. shall be subjected to
a stoppage of 8 per cent., and those who receive
larger amounts, to one of 10 per cent. ; also that
the floating debt shall be fixed at 140,000,000 reals.

THE IRON CROWN OF ITALY.—A Milan letter in

bardy, Austria having made it a question of dignity. We
regret that the Conference yielded on that point, not so
much for the motives of municipal vanity associated with
this external symbol of the past grandeur of Lombardy as
for the political significance of the refusal on the part of
Austria. Can it be that Austria, not considering the sove-
reignty of Lombardy is transferred to Victor Emmanuel
11., retains its insignia, and means thereby to signify that
the King de jure is still the Emperor of Austria, and that
the temporary occupation of Piedmont does not preju-
dice his claims to an eventual re-occupation ? There is
no other reason to justify Austria in her retention of the
crown,"

"The Chronicle of the 19th has beenisiceital,
but no faith is put in the news it brings respecting
things being settled. On the contrary, every pre-
paration is maliing• here to repel any aggressions
which may be made on the part of the Spaniards.
" The French charge d'affaires, Vis.couut de Cas-
tillon, had offered to mediate on the part of Francs
in the present rupture, but El Ks.tib thankfully de-
dined it. The viscount also offered to place at El
Katib's disposal a French man-of-war, if he should
make up his mind to leave the city; but., consider-
' ing the acceptance of such an offer would be indis-
creet on his part, he also declined, observing that,
as a good shepherd, he should remain to take carp
of his flock and share the dangers that may arise."
The Correo de Andalucia of the 18th contains a
letter from Ceuta of the 10th, giving an account
of an interview between the Governor of that for-
tress and the Kaid of the Serail°, a place situate at
a short distance from the walls of the garrison :
" On that day at the appointed hour (11 a.m.)
the Kaid, accompanied by another Moor and an in-
terpreter, made his appearance, and was conducted
to the presence of the Governor. After an exchange
of the usual civilities the Ksid informed his Excel-
lency that, having been named by lb. Bashaw of
Tangier Kaid of the Serallo, he had brought with
him 25 Moorish soldiers to check the rioters of An-
gera and Tetuan. Taking advantage of the disor-
ganised state of the government during the illness
and subsequent death of the Sultan, these depreda-
tors had dared to molest the garrison, but his new
master was desirous of maintaining peace with.
Spain, and would never hereafter interfere with
Christians. He pledged his head that no Moor
would for the future trespass over the line of de-
marcation, but at the same time he requested the
assurance on the part of the Spanish Government
that no soldier would be permitted to cross the
limits of the Moorish territory ; and, lastly, that he
was authorised to punish severely all unruly Moors,
so that there might be no further reasons for war.
The Governor, in answer, promised that he would
not allow any soldier to pass the line, but that if
any Moor disobeyed this order he should be fired
upon."

The same paper has accounts from the Chaffarine
Islands to the 12th inst. The French war steamer
Caton had arrived with despatches for that fortress
and Melillia. Besides it appears the object of this
visit is to establish field hospitals, in these islands
for the use of the French army, which is to make a
landing with 20,000 men in front of this place on
the 20th inst.

says: --

" In order to fulfil the mission which the Emperor's Go-
vernment proposed to itself, two roads were open before
it. Either it should have renewed the gigantic struggles
of the beginning of the present century, raise the whole of
France, fall on Europe, and once more exhaust both; or,
what was more difficult, but more noble, it had to change
this mandate of vengeance into one of devotedness ; might
defend the independence even of• those who had conspired
against that of the country, and no longer separate the
grandeur of France from that of Europe. It is well known
on which of those two alternatives the Emperor's Govern-
ment decided. What did it go to the East to effect ?
Re-establish the balance of power in Europe. which was
compromised by the illegitimate preponderance of Russia.
What did France go to Italy to carry out? Without
doubt, to take in hand the cause of an allied nation, but
above all to save that equilibrium of the political world

which was threatened by the successive encroachments of
the Austrian Ccesars. Does that mean that France, by her
devotedness, now aspires to exercise a kind of effective
tutelage over Europe ? Certainly not. She is not igno-
rant that a protectorate, however full of abnegation it may
be, is a servitude in disguise for tho Power which accepts
it, and a perilous charge for the one which exercises it.
France, far from yielding to that ambition which is attri-
butable to her, has always recommended Europe to watch
over h7r own interests."

The writer then suggests to the other Powers of
Europe, that in place of trying to keep down the
expansive force of France, as formerly, they should
endeavour to utilise it by formally assigning to her
the rank which belongs to her among other nations.
Such it declares, would be one of the great acts of
the Congress. The article concludes in these words :

"The Imperial Government formed a right opinion of
France when it assigned to her the part of absolute distin-
terestedness which she has followed for the last 10 years. She
alone is, in fact, capable of raising herself above the material
preoccupations and the selfish ambitions of this positive age
and of lavishing her blood and her treasure solely for the
triumph of an idea. France, in times of agitation and of
anger, has been able to move all Europe by showing herself
as the soldier of violence and of revolution ; but now France
may tranquillise her, since she has revealed herself as the
soldier of civilisation and of national right."

A meeting was held on Thursday, in the County-

presided, and the members for the borough (Mr. T.

proceedings. About 30 volunteers were raised and
donations to a handsome amount were promised.

WORKING MEN'S COLLEGE.

The services of this corps havd been accepted
by her Majesty, and the corps has been accord-
ingly sanctioned as the 19th Middlesex Rifle
VolunteerS. The maximum establislithent at pre-
sent sanctioned will consist of one captain com-
mandant, 1 captain, 2 lieutenants, 2 ensigns, 200
men of all ranks, divided into two companies. Se-
veral other bodies of skilled workmen, however, are
in process of- organization, with a view of joining
the 19th Middlesex, and it is hoped that a battalion
will be formed in a few weeks. The present strength
of the corps is 130, all of whom are members of the
college. The list of donations already received
amounts to upwards of £BO, but funds will be much
needed to help the men to pay for their equipments.
General Sir De Lacy Evans has subscribed ten
guineas, and has expressed his wish that working
men might form a part of every rifle corps. Mr.
Pritchett, gun manufacturer, of Whitechapel, has
presented the corps with two admirable rifles.
