is 10,613 puns 1,211.2.4114.
TE►.—The market is very firm, and for Pouchong

CHARITABLE DONATIONS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In your account of Charitable Donations for
Christmas, you have noticed Sir John Bayley's name,
the M.P. for the city of Worcester, as giving relief to
two thousand persons, in beef, warm clothing, &c. I
beg leave to say it is an error: there was some beef
given, and likewise bread, to about 500 persons, but
those were mostly to such persons as had voted for
him, but as to clothing nothing has been heard of it. I
understand Sir T. Wilde has sent 2001. to be given
generally for charitable purposes. You will please to
notice the same in your next.—Yours, respectfully,
C. KNOWLES.

WINTER ASSIZES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Some of the past Assize Grand Jury, have put
out a feeler against continuing a winter commission.
If it be somewhat inconvenient for the gentry of the

" grand inquest" to attend a winter assize, a very easy
relief may be found for them. by abolishing the grand
jury system, and, sure, I am, that the public would re-
joice at it.

I expected the gentry of the grand inquest would find
fault (though their duty is by far less than the petty
jury), and also ,expected that, "my Lords Judges," the
" high sheriff," and the gentlemen of the " long robe,"
would put their shoulders to the wheel, and assist in
raising a prejudice against so desirable a thing as a
winter gaol delivery.

Be was welcomed with addresses, and with dinnersc
ba;.ls, &c. The Chamber of Commerce presented an
address, to which his Excellency returned a most
remarkoble answer, in which the late proceedings and
negotiatio.'►s in China are reviewed. This document
is worthy of great attention, as placing the question
of the opium trade in a fair light.
Sir Henry Pottinger embarked at Bombay on the
27th of August, on his return to Europe.
There has been considerable discussion respecting
the cruel mode in which some of the sick Coolies,
who were sent back from the Mauritius to Bombay,
had been put on board, without any comforts, or even
the common necessaries for the voyage. One of them
died, and the coroner's jury warmly expressed their
dissatisfaction at the manner in which he had been
put on board.
The ship Royal Admiral, which sailed from New-
port on the 16th of March, with coals for Aden,
being forced by stress of weather to come to Bom-
bay, was wrecked on the rocks at the entrance of
that harbour on the 25th of July.

The news from China does not come down later
than the 21st of June, and was brought to Bombay
by the steamer Driver, on board of which Sir
H. Pottinger arrived there. Great dissatisfaction
was expressed at the meddling of the French and
Americans in the now settled affairs with China. It
is mentioned that Sir H. Pottinger, prior to his de-
parture, had introduced his successor, Mr. Davis, to
Keying, when they held a conversation without the
aid of an interpreter. This is considered a great ad-

vantage.
There was considerable satisfaction felt at Bombay
in consequence of the mails from London having ar-
rived there in 28 days and 16 hours, and it was ex-
pected that the voyage would be performed in much
less time by powerful vessels when placed on that
station. The Semiramis frigate, which took back
the mails of the 19th of July, subsequently for-
warded by the Sesostris steamer, had her broken
shaft instantly repaired, and is again in an effective
state. The Sesostris left Bombay at a few hours'
notice, on the 31st of July ; she brought the mails
which the Driver had conveyed there from China.

Amongst the deaths on the western shore of India
during July and August may be mentioned those of
Mr. W. S. Boyd, C.S. ; Dr. Jephson, Assistant-
Surgeon; Rev. M. Valentine, and Captain Halliday,
86th Regiment.
The fall of rain during the monsoon was scant in
that part of India, but hopes were still entertained of
a heavy fall.

MONEY MARKET.

Hurkaru Office, Calcutta, Aug. 13, 1844.
Since our last summary, the money market has
been in an unusually quiet state, and capital is abun.
dant, with considerable difficulty of employment in
safe channels.

Five per Cents. are touching on, and probably will

the Duke of Wellington, he cannot fail to make a
correct vie :v of the real interests of India. Ms
practical acquaintance with service in the field, and
with all the details of military finance, and of the in-
ternal economy of regiments, must necessarily render
him much more competent than I could ever have
become, even with the best intentions and my utmost
industry, to deal with all questions connected with
the comfort of the troops, and with the efficiency of
the army; and our past experience of his conduct in
office in England affords the most satisfactory assur-
ance that his power will always be exercised in a
spirit of liberality as well as of justice and of kind
consideration and favour towards the troops of both
services, that this result is to be attributed. These
are the last words of earnest advice I shall address to
you in India. I now bid you all most sincerely and
cordially farewell. I shall soon be far from you ; but
my heart remains with this army, and wherever I may
be, and as long as I live, I shall be its friend."
Loud cheering repeatedly interrupted him, and
when he sat down the hums became so tremendous
that it was evident the previous exertion had in no
degree impaired the physical powers which conveyed
to him the warm feeling of admiration and regard
that glowed in the breasts of those who had just
listened to his splendid address.

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—There has been
a considerable increase in the number of deaths
during the week ending Saturday, September 28, as
compared with the previous week. The total num-
ber was 932 ; previous week, 857 ; average for the
summer months, 897. The increase has been chiefly
in deaths caused by small-pox, scarlatina, typhus,
erysipelas, and violence, which are respectively as
follows, with the average :-37, 11; 85, 39 ; 34, 28 ;
11, 4; 44, 24. The second figures denote the ave-
rage for the summer months. The deaths from
small-pox occurred at the following ages :--
eight under one year; eleven, 1-3 ; five
3-5 ; seven, 5-10 ; two, 10-15 ; three,
20-30; and one, 34 years. The following is an
analysis of the list of violent deaths :—fracture or con-
tusion, 16 cases, of which 9 were by falls ; 4 by
horses and carriages; 1 by a wheel; 1 by railway
carriages; and 1 not stated. Drowning, 3 cases.
flanging, 6 cases—suicide*. Burns, 9 cases. Wounds,
6 cases, 3 being by suicides. Poison, 3 cases—
suicides. Suffocation, 2 cases. Scalds, 1 case ; and
ManslauF,hter, 1 case. Total, 33 males and 14
females, including 3 cases put to tetanus.

CHINA.

We have intelligence by her Majesty's steamer
Driver, which came into port on the 29th July, from
Victoria, the 21st June. Admiral. Sir T. Cochrane
had returned from the north on the 2dJune. The
visit of the French frigate Alcmene to Chusan and
Shanghai had occasioned much excitement amongst
the Chinese along the coast, so that it was considered
eminently desirable that a strong naval force should
be kept in the north for the protection of British life
and property against the outbreaks of the mob. The
American and French men-of-war Brandy wine, St.
Louis, Cleopatra, and Alcmene, had arrived almost
simultaneously in the Chinese waters.
At Canton the populace continued very unruly,
manifesting, on every occasion that presented itself, a
spirit of extreme discontent at the' presence of
foreigners. An arrow as a wind-vane had been
placed on the top of the United States' flag-staff, and
great umbrage had been taken at this by the Chinese :
on what ground is not explained. On the 6th of May
the American Consul, Mr. Forbes, had caused the
obnoxious weathercock to be taken down. While a
party of sailors were engaged in this, a riot com-
menced among the rabble, some of whom pushed
themselves into the square and threatened mischief.
A placard was shortly afterwards issued by the
gentry, strongly recommending the maintenance of
good feeling. Intelligence of the 17th from Canton
is contained in private letters from Hong-Kong of the
19th, more recent than any we can discover in the
papers of the last-named date. The mob had broken
into the square of the American factory on the after-
noon of the 17th, and endeavoured to pull down the
United States' flag. They were resisted, and a
Chinaman, who turned out to be an innocent and un-
concerned shopkeeper, was shot. At 10 P.M. the
Chinese soldiers made their appearance and cleared
the square. The populace continued in a great state of
excitement, and Canton was placarded with threaten-
ing notices that the factories would be attacked
and burned. The Chinese authorities appear to have
no power whatever over the mob, and it seems to be
thought, that unless some strong and decided mea-
sures are taken by us, there will be no safety for
either life or property at Canton. What may be the
nature of the measures referred to as desirable is not
stated. Sir H. Pottinger and his private secretary
returned from China by the Driver.
London, England, 1844-10-03

LAHORE.

Matters are going on here pretty smoothly, as far
as the immediate vicinity of the capital is concerned.
Military preparations continue the order of the day;
the rebellions beyond the Indus in the Hill country,
north and south of Karabaghon that river, have been
suppressed. Goolab Singh still holds aloof; and the
widow of Suchet Singh continues active in her in-
trigues, in her own jagheer of Sambhar, which is
just within the hills, and not far from Jumboo. The
internal state of the country, at a distance from the
capital, is anything but tranquil, though certainly not
one of open rebellion.
A considerable uncertainty hangs over the fate of
one of the princes, Peshora Singh, lately in opposi-
tion, and it is supposed by some that he has been put
to death by Heera Singh, as the shortest way of set-
tling all accounts. Several of the chiefs are sending
all their disposable property over into the British ter-
ritories, and we know of one instance in which one of
them has deposited;upwards of 200,0001. with bankers
on our side the Sutlej ; he was attempting to send
over two more mule loads of gold, when want of care
led to their seizure, and the whole found their way
into the private treasury of the minister. A quarrel
of a serious nature has arisen between Sheik Einam-
ood-deen, governor of one of the central provinces of
the Punjaub, and Dewan Sawun Mull, the governor
of Mooltan. Several thousand men arrayed on each
side are only waiting the nod of their respective
superiors to fall on each other. The only point to
which Heera Singh can look with any satisfaction,
next to his suppression of the trans4ndus rebellions,
is the success which has to all appearance attended
his late negotiations with Dost Mahommed Khan of
Caubul. We judge of this matter by the fact of the
breaking up of Mahommed Akbar's army at Jellalabad,
and the withdrawal of most of the regular troops
from Peshawur—two circumstances which speak for
themselves, and are strongly supported by an offer
said, by our Caubul correspondent, to have been made
by Post Mahommed to Heera Singh, to assist him
with any.number of troops he might require in case
of his being engaged in hostilities with the British.
How far this offer -may be an indication of the truth
of the generally received opinion that a great combi-
nation has been formed against us in Central Asia,
it is impossible to say.—Delhi Gazette Overland,

GREEIC'IVICH.

Yesterday Ann Smith alias Watson alias Mary Ann
Stow, a dress-maker (of yery respectable connec-
tions), carrying on business in Brand-street, Green-
wich, was brought up for final examination, charged
with stealing goods from the shops of numerous linen
drapers, silk-mercers, and other tradesmen in Green-
wich and Deptford, under the following circum-
stances :

Charles Harris, haberdasher and linen-draper,
Brunswick-place, Greenwich, identified two pieces of
cotton print, consisting respectively of 14 yards and
17f yards, recently missed from his stock. These
articles had been traced by the police to the shop of
Mr. Delany, a pawnbroker, in Church-street, Green-
wich. Witness had no recollection of the prisoner
coming to his shop.
Daniel Riordan, shopman to Mr. Delany, said that
he took the articles produced in pledge from the pri-
soner. She had often brought piece goods to pawn,
and gave the name of Smith, George-street. On the
last occasion she gave the name of Watson.
William Hardman, linen and woolen-draper,
Blisset-street, Greenwich, deposed that he had lost
goods out of his stock. Knew, prisoner, who was in
the habit of purchasing goods at his shop. This
witness identified a piece of unbleached calico, mea-
suring 60 yards when in his stock, which had been
pledged by the prisoner for five shillings.
Mr. D. Riordan, shopman to Mr. Delany, de-
posed that he advanced money upon it on the 23d of
September. The prisoner had since denied having
pawned it, or any knowledge whatever of the article.
Emily White, of No. 19, Blissett-street, wife of a
carpenter, deposed that she saw the prisoner pass from
Mr. Hardman's, with a large roll of linen under her
arm on the 21st ult. Witness lives opposite to Hard-
man's, and knew the prisoner for some time past,
though not acquainted with her. She was surprised
at the moment at seeing her carry so, large a parcel.
John Low, of the firm of Thomas Wilkinson, Ker-
shaw, and Low, linen-drapers and silk-mercers, Lon-
don-street, Greenwich, identified two pieces of Irish
linen, 14 yards of gros de Naples, two mouselaine de
laine dresses, and two pieces of cashmere for dresses,
comprising 22 yards.
Mr. John Dawson, pawnbroker, Skelton-lane,
Greenwich, proved lending 15s. upon one of the pieces
of Irish linen, on the 23d of September. The pri-
soner gave her name Watson, George-street, Green-
wich. Ha ha also advanced money on a piece of
cotton on the 80th of August, on a piece of cashmere
65., on another piece of Irish linen 125., and a roll of
silk 17s.
Other cases haying been adduced,
Sergeant Lovell said he had a vast number of du-
plicates in his possession still, which he had found
about the prisoner's apartments, which she had hid
away. They consisted of books, scarfs, tea-kettles,
fire-irons, brushes, fiat irons, bedding, &c., nearly all
new, and which he had very little doubt were also
stolen property. •
Mr. JERBILT asked the prisoner what she had to
say to the charge ?
The prisoner declined to say anything.
The witnesses were then bound over to prosecute,
and the prisoner was fully committed for trial.

PARLIAMENTARY PAPER.

NEW ZEALAND.—(CONTINUED.)
" To have proceeded in this manner, and to have
assumed at once all unoccupied land to belong to the
Crown as a right inherent in the sovereignty, would
have been attended with no sort of injustice to the
natives, and would have been conducive to their real

interests. The unoccupied land, previously to Eu-
ropean settlement, was of no value to them, they
were neither a pastoral people, nor one living, like
the North American Indians, by the chase, and
therefore requiring a great extent of country for
their support; they derived their chief subsistence
from the produce of the soil and agriculture, rude as
it was, and, according to the witnesses who have
been examined by your Committee, hardly a thou-
sandth part of the available land was thus made use
of by them.
"A very different policy, with respect to the
ownership of land, has been pursued, and has been
attended with very unfortunate results. Mr. Spain,
who was sent out from this country by Lord John
Russell to investigate the claims of land of settlers in
New Zealand, appears to have been furnished with
no precise instructions as to the object of the in-
tended inquiry, and the mode of conducting it ; and
as he, in common with the Governor and the other
colonial authorities, adopted the conclusion that no
land could be considered as vested in the Crown, or
in the New Zealand Company, by virtue of an
agreement with the Crown, which could not be
shown to have been fairly purchased from the natives,
there was began a protracted and most unsatisfac-
tory inquiry as to the nature of these purchases. It
was impossible that the inquiry, having this object in
view, could he of a different character, since, if the
point to be determined was the validity of purchases
from the natives, it followed that it was necessary to
ascertain not only the bona fide nature of the sup-
posed sale, but also the title of the vendors to the
property of which they claimed to dispose. The
ione
difficulty of arriving at any satisfacrtiol evidence asry
conclusion
upon upon either point was insuperable.
to the reality of alleged sales was almost invariably
reasonably have
i
contradictory and confused, might
been anticipated, considering what mperfect means
of communication there were between the parties,
and how little one of them understood the nature of
such transactions. As to the title of the vendors, the
case was still more hopeless ; the evidence before
your Committee, both oral and documentary, leads to
the conclusion that the natives of New Zealand, till
they learnt to do so from Europeans, attached no idea
of value to unoccupied land, and that though they
had some vague notions of certain circumstances
(frequently connected with their peculiar supersti-
tions), giving preferable claims to particular tribes
over particular districts, yet, practically, the right by

CAUBUL.

We have very little of real importance connected
with this part of Central Asia to communicate. The
only item of any consequence, and which tende to
prove that the Machinations of Persia and Russia, if
any such have been lately, set on foot, have failed, is
that relating to the conclusion of a much closer con-
nexion between Yar Mahommed, of Herat, who, it ap-
pears, by our latest letter, extending to the 2d of July,
has 'succeeded in beating off the Persians from his
immediate vicinity. He has proposed that one of his
sons should marry a daughter of Dost Mahommed
Khan, and sent a Vakeel with an offer to that effect.
The Ameer of Caubul had not given any decided
answer to the offer. Some cause of quarrel has arisen
between the ruler of Caubul and the chief of Koo-
loom, who is supported by the King of Bokhara, and
preparations of an active nature are being made at
Caubul to enter with vigour on a campaign which is
to be:conducted by Mahommed Akbar Khan, who has
completely recovered from his late indisposition. The
advanced troops had even marched from Caubul. The
Ameer had been persuaded to reconcile himself with
the Kuzzilbashes of (Caubul), whom he had hitherto
greatly distrusted, and to bestow a dress of honour
on their chief.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Sir John Vanbrugh's comedy of the Confederacy
was revived at this theatre last evening with the most
complete success. We were rather curious to see this
revival, inasmuch as we doubted whether it would be
possible any alterations or omissions could make thi3
comedy presentable before a modern audience.
The adapter, however, has done his part most judi-
ciously. lie has managed to cut out all the non-
presentable matter without interfering in the least
with the development of the plot, leaving at the same
time all the brilliant smartness of the dialogue unin-
jured. The cast was immensely strong. Farren
was Moneytrap, the miserable mean-spirited old miser;
and Strickland was the vulgar choleric old Bully
Gripe. Mr. C. Mathews was quite at home in Brass,
as was his fair lady in the character of Flippanta ; and
Miss P. Horton and Mrs. a Yarnold did full
justice to the characters of Clarissa and Ar-
minta. Miss Julia Bennett appeared as Co•
rinna, and has added greatly to her already
high fame by her admirable performance of last even-
ing. Never has the character of the hoyden been
more gracefully represented.- She was arch, lively,
and vivacious, yet simple, graceful, and maiden-like
withal. If Miss Julia Bennett acts always in this
manner, we shall not have so much reason to regret
the secession from the stage of Mrs. Nisbett as we had
anticipated. With such a cast full justice was done
to the comedy. Every point told, every witty sally
(and the comedy is replete with such) elicited a smile
of approbation ; every shaft of satire aimed at the
follies and vices of mankind struck home. The cos-
tumes were rich and appropriate, and the mice en scene
beyond all praise.

'AIR ATHOL

BLAIR ATHOL, TUESDAY.
The life of seclude,t retirement which her Majesty
has led since her arrival at Blair Athol has not been
disturbed by any incident worthy of recording. The
morning walk or ride in the grounds of the castle with
Prince Albert and the Princess Royal, the afternoon
drive or scramble up the hill-side on ponies, the dinner
party, the being roused by the shrill pibroch on the
following morning, and so on from day to day, tou-
, fours perdrix—to-d ay the same as yesterday and yes •
terday the same as the day before. Were it not for
the anxiety which naturally pervades all classes of her
Majesty's subjects to hear of the welfare of their Sove-
reign, and the interest excited by her Majesty's present
mode of life, there is so little variety in this tranquil
routine, that the daily movements of the Royal party
are scarcely of sufficient importance to be chronicled.
The present propitious weather enables her Ma-
jesty and the Prince to pass a great part of the
day in the open air, sub Jove not frigido assuredly,
for the heat of the sun is intense, and were it
not for the mellow autumnal tint on the rich
foliage round the castle, it might be supposed
that spring was going to return once more before the
coming winter. Yesterday the Prince went out
grouse shooting on the moors in front of the Castle,
and her Majesty having expressed a desire to witness
the sport, the pony was ordered, and her Majesty set
forth to ascend the neighbouring hill, which com-
mands an extensive view of the moors. Her Majesty
was accompanied by Lord Gleulyon, who walked by
the side of the pony, and the Billy, Sandy Macara,
who has had the honour of leading her Majesty's pony
during her rambles.
The Prince shot six brace of grouse, which were
immediately forwarded to the castle. His Royal
Highness had intended to go deer stalking yesterday
in Glen Tilt, but as the wind was unfavourable the
projected excursion was deemed impracticable. Lady
Glenlyon and Lady Canning drove out in the after-
noon to visit Mr. Butler, of Fascala.
Military law is adhered to most rigidly by her
Majesty's guard of Athol Highlanders. Lord Glen-
lyon's brother, the Hon. Captain Murray, of the
Scots Fusilier Guards, who has lately arrived here,
was refused admittance by the guard, because he was
not furnished with the necessary countersign, although
he offered to write an order for his own admission.
We need scarcely mention that the Hon. Gentleman
has since succeeded in gaining access to his noble
brother's domain ; but whilst the circumstance has
occasioned some amusement, it has also evinced the
strictness with which these fine fellows perform their
duty.—Post.
