not allowed the privileges and rightsgranted to the subjects
of the weakest monarchy in Europe. Englishmen, in fact,
were often obliged to flee to the Portuguese settlement for
protection; they were haraEsed in proportion to the cupi-
dity and pride of the ruling mandarins, and compelled to
submit to indignities which neither a CROMWELL nor a
BONAPARTE would have winked at for one :veal.: The out-
rageous attack upon ELLicerT and the British merchants at
Canton, as well as on all foreigners, brought affairs to a crisis.
The cup was full, and so unjustifiable were the whole
.pro-
ceeding., that even the inveterate enemies of England could
not find a word to say against the measures which
followed. Britain at last asserted her rights, with universal
consent, and, with a rare generosity, 'claimed no exclusive
advantages fur risking a war, which would at the time, and
for many' years, have been too hazardous for any other
nation. Besides, we haVe made no conquests—we hive
merely asked for, and obtained a station like that
long possessed, by the Portuguese, in order to secure
a trade which not only furnishes a large revenue to the
country,• but supplies one of the great necessaries of life to
the lower classes. It would be difficult to point out any
war Which was ki.just, so speedily settled, and so productive
of :beneflcial results to the conquered as well as the con-
queror.

" The Debals publishes the following from a correspondent at
Papelte, in Otaheite, dated May 4 :- —1 Queen Pomare is still in
hostility with us." She remains at Raiatea, with the malcontents
of the Archipelago, and there, with the aid of some deserters from
our crews, and" even some captains of the English navy, has raised
fortifications 'which will require some severe work with the bayonet
to carry. In , this defensive position the Queen is waiting ft,r
sufficient forces from England to enable her to resume the sovc.
reignty which she has lost. We live here in a constant state of
warfare, passing the day in scouring the country and clearing the
valleys; gendarmes and soldiers spread right and left seeking for
concealed enemies. The natives carry on a real Kabyle war
against uk; lying in invisible ambush, firing upon us as if we were
wild beasts, and then disappearing with a rapidity which renders it
impossible for us to overtake them. During the night the shore

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY; QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about
3,000 bales, with a very dull market, and to stimulate busi-
ness id. per lb. decline was accepted. There was no specu-
lation going on. Shares were quiet, and there was less doing
than usual.
There are some late dates from New Zealand and Sydney
this morning. The principal feature in the accounts from the

paid for. The accounts from Sydney are not of much interest.
From the Cape of Good Hope there are advices this morn-
ing.. Trade at Natal was very dull. The colony was quiet.
As everthing connected with railway business is now of
paramount importance, we think it necessary to draw atten-
tion to the fact, that a meeting has been held, composed of
the most influential men of the City, to consider the necessity
of the formation of a grand resort for all those who have an
interest in property invested in railways. We believe that
there was not.a dissentient voice as to the policy of such a
measure being adopted, and -it was incidentally mentioned
that a general rinirkk should be established for the purchase
and sale of railway shares, the enormous increase of business
of this description being at present confined within too nar:
row Ulnas.. But the' main difficulty appears to be where
ground is to be found of sufficient extent for any such
purpose within , a reasonable distance of the Bank
of England and the Royal Exchange. The South Sea'
HOuse appears to many to be an eligible spot, as it has "a
spacious area and apace for offices to a very large extent.
However, this is a matter which remains for future conside-
ration; but that sonie new building must be erected for the
proper accommodation of the immense numbers who now fre-
quent the City from all parts of the United Kingdom appears
to be a matter of absolute necessity. We learn that the most
rigid inquiry is made 'now into the character of all parties
writing for railway shares. This is especially the case as re-
spects the applicants to the Dublin and Galway and other
companieS. " Stags" are at a discount. The vicinity or
Capel Court is avoided as much as possible by the more re-
spectable brokers and -other bone fide holders of shares.
In the market for Shares this morning a good deal of busi-
ness has been done, and mostly at advanced prices. We may
note a firm demand for the Caledonian, the Aberdeen, &c.
Tho French lines are firm.
The
_price of_ Consols for Money has remained all the
morning at 98%
, and for the Account at from 97% to 98%.
Exchequer Bills are firm at 455. 475.. premium. India Bonds

60%; the Spanish Five per Cents, for the Account, at 263. i ;

The prosecutor's head was frightfully lacerated, and the
,side of his-face was swollen and bruised very sadly.
He stated that in the evening ha went to the defendant'il
house and asked for payment of a sum of money that %,:.s
due to him. The woman answered him at the door, and firt
abused him in the coarsest manner, and then fetched a poker
and beat him with it about the head. A police-constable
brought to the spot, but the prisoners had escaped, and it
was some time before their retreat was ascertained. &fors
being captured they made a desperate resistance,' and the
the woman kicked the officer so severely as to, incapacity a
him from duty for some days to come.
The man's defence was that the prosecutor had induced hie
wife to get drunk in his house, and spend between 84 and 9/,
and this caused her to become exasperated when she saw him
in her sober moments. He denied having done more Vial
endeavour to save his wife from being locked up.
The MAGISTRATE said he could not think of fining the d
fendants, but he would commit them to the House of Cor•
rection.

Bvo. 215.:

An article appeared in our impression of yesterday, which
we are anxious to impress on the serious attention of the
public Whilst the matter to which it relates is still of recent
occurrence. Where.facts are likely •to find precedents they
cannot be too promptly investigated. Half the mischiefs
that from time to time fall out in the complications of public
affairs, As well as in the business of private life, might be
avoided or greatly neutralized by acting on this simple
maxim. But if the folly' nd the danger of procrastination
in the conduct of their own personal business, by individuals,
be so unquestionable as to have passed--from all antiquitp--
into the most trite of proverbs—of how much more
serious prejudice must
,the same evil habit prove to
the welfare of states which permit it to creep into the exe-
cutive administration of their service ? The article to which 1
we are now recurring announced the arrival of the Banchery
at Aberdeen, from Newfoundland, with a short cargo i f fish.
It is stated that " she would have been a full ship had it not
been for the interference of the Danish' fisherinen, who hive
a settlement close to Newfoundland. It is to be hoped that
Government will put a stop to this intrusion, and compel the
Danes, as they do the French, to keep within their own limits.''
We most heartily concur ' in the hope expressed by
cur Contemporary, the Aberdeen Herald. It is
impossible to overrate the national value of •our
fisheries as a source of maritime defence ; or of cheap, whole-
some, and abundant sustenance; or of commercial wealth.
But there is no portion of our trade so liable to foreign en-
croachment. There is -no species of foreign encroachment
which extends itself so rapidly, or which, having been once
permitted to take place, it is so difficult afterwards effec-
tually to put down, or prospectively to restrain. And we ,

Our extraordinary express, in anticipation of the Indian.
Mail to the 28th of August, has arrived.
There is no longer any doubt as to the assembling of an army
on the banks of the Sutlej, in order to enable the present Siekh.
Government to curb its licentious soldiery. The Queen-Mothk r
and her brother, the Wuzeer of the boy King Duleep
are stated to be now acting in concert with the British
agents, for the purpose of putting down the insolence and re-
bellious spirit of the Khalsa troops and the fanatic Akhalees
Umballa is named as the place of rendezvous for all the "politi.
cals,"as the Hon. Company's diplomatic agents are occasionally
called in India. The Governor-General, the, Commander-in-
Chief, the Lieutenant-Governor of the North-West Pro-
vinces, Mr. Thomason, and Mr. G. R. Clerk, who was said
to be on his way from England, are to have a conference at
Agra, after which the important movements will be com-
menced.
Of the results of the movement of the wing of the 18th
Regiment of Bombay Native Infantry, which was sent itt
June, by Sir Charles Napier, to take possession of Kusmore,
a sort of hilly spot on the right bank of the Indus, above
Sukkur, little is known. The cause if,. said to be the at-
tempt of some Seikhs to begin a foray upon tha
British territory. The appearance of the expedition had the
effect of neutralizing the attempt, and the latest news frOna
Shade was that Sir Charles Napier had ordered the detach-
ment to return to Hyderabad—an arrangement which could
be effected by the steamers with the greatest ease within a
week.
Sinde was tranquil, and the British rule completely esta-
Wished by the gallant General who had conquered the coun-
try. This fact was sufficiently a matter of annoyance to his
enemies, who sought by every means to decry his acts. Tho
most unscrupulous attacks were made on him, and all hia
proceedings.

" The Minister of the Marine left Havre on Monday for Honfleur.
Before his departure he bad a conference with the Chamber of
Commerce, which turned chiefly on the sea defences of Havre.
The Chamber urged the early presentation of a Bill uniting the
fortification of the roadstead with the formation of a harbour of
refuge, which would thus meet the demands of both peace and war.
Admiral de Mackau, adopting this idea, gave his promise to do all
in his power to hasten the presentment of such a Bill in the course
of the next session."

may go further in denouncing the intervention of our tardy
British . diplomacy as always.most tardy in the assertion of
our invaluable fishing rights. • Even Lord PALmEngro*,
vigilant and decisive as was the general character of
his management of our foreign relations, was yet severely
censured, and we thought, at'the time, not- Without reason,
for the *thy or the indolence with which he had looked On
at the aggressions of the French fishermen upon our own in
the mackerel-and other fisheries of the Channel.' From the
exertions of the Hon. Members for Sussex; and a few other
spirited remonstrants, the reipective rights of the fishermen
of the two nations were at Jongth reduced into specific '
statement, and made the subjecfa a neW convention, which
was fornially exercised, and now subsists in full force as the
text law, as it were, by the rule of which their rights are
ascertained and encroachments on them repressed. ;But even
that convention, if we mistake not, was not negotiated and
finallyratified without some sacrifices of ancient rights on our
own part. The claims of the French. fishermen, as made
on their behalf by the Government of France, were conceded
to an extent which those who, in this country had the
reputation of being _best informed, on. such subjects, consi-
dered, quite unwarranted by the prescription of the past, by
recent usage, or by any then existing treaties. This was
an' oversight the more remarkable, as occurring during the
tenure of the foreign seals by the accomplished 'descendant
of that great statesman who in the treaties negotiated by
him, both with the Didch and the French, had taken espe-
cial care, at the Hague, and at Nimeguen, in 1668 and
iii .1678, to protect, to the best of his power, the fisheries of
Britain. It is, however, a lamentable fact, that to France, to
Holland, and to the United States,' in the seas of the Old
'World, and upon the shores of.-the New, we have, from time
to time, sacrificed such important fishing rights with so much
facility, that subsequent encroachments by Vessels under their
flags upon our grounds have been the rule—respect for the
rights of our own Craft, on the same stations, the exception.
It is high time that this state of things should cease. It
has already operated (whether in conjunction with the re-
'ovel or modification, of former import duties on foreign cured
fish .and oils, as Mr. ENDERBY, in a very able pamphlet, has

simply through the effect of the system of encroachinent

the intended Manchester and Southampton, Cheltenham, Oxford,
-and Brighton, and• Birmingham, Reading, and Brighton Railways,
on the-narrew gauge principle, it not only forms the shortest means
of cormnunieation between Lancashire and Dover, from which alone
will accrue a very large traffic, but it must derive a considerable re-
venue-from -the simple fact of its being the only means of south coun-
try communication between so many- lines on the same gauge.
- To -effect- these objects the-line will commence at Bristol, in the
northern part of-the city, and after forming a junction with the
Gloucester and Bristol Railway, will proceed by Bath, tradford,
Trowbridge,-and Devizes, through the Vale of Pewsey to Silchester,
where-it divides into two lines—the one proceeding directly to Wey-
bridge; ;In the London line; -and the other passing southward by
Sandhurst, Guildford, and Dorking, to Reigate, where it will merge
in the Soutlf-Eastern line, by -which the traffic will be carried on
directly to Dover, and which station- (Reigate) is also the point of
junction of the _Brighton Railway. •
-- Independently, however, of the great through traffic between its
termini, the local trade of the various towns on the intended line is
certainty of considerable importance, and sufficient of itself to yield
ample profit,- Devizes, Bradford, and Trowbridge form the centre of
the great western cloth trade, and when a 'position of ready access to
them shall be-restored, from the want of which they have already
suffered, there can be no question that a corresponding accession of
importance and traffic will take place, for which latter the only
channel of transmission eastwards must be by the railroad now con-
templated.
In addition to the above-mentioned manufacturing towns, the pro-
jected railway-passes through a rich agricultural -district, hitherto
totalirneglected as to railway communication, from which it will
readilrbe seen great mutual benefit must inevitably arise.
The increasing importance of Dover, consequent on the great im-
provement and enlargement ofits harbour now in progress, must, by
means-of the Great Northern Railway of France from Paris to
Calais, make it, on account of the shortness of the sea.voy age, the
great port of communication with France and the continent.
The country through which the intended line passes has been most
ertrefully surveyed, and affords a direct line free from engineering

ments employed in Sinde, and the loud complaint:4
lately uttered against its unhealthiness
.had, in a grez.t
measure, subsided: The cholera had disappeared 'at
Sukkur and Hyderabad. The , preparations . ,for any.
movement that might be necessary against the
Punjaub were going on silently but surely, especially in the
boats for bridges and the steamers, &c. It appeared to be
expected that Sir Charles Napier would be called on to pro-
ceed to join the Governor-General, in case any hostile mea-
sures became imperative in the Punjaub.
The fame of that General along the Indus and throughout
the north-west of India is immense. Some of the envious
journals of Bengal and Bombay seek •to lower it, but
in vain. The Siekh troops would tight less. despeiately agonise
him than any other British General, for they know his valour
in the victories over the men of Slade. There was a rumour
of a treaty having been proposed by the Governor-General
to the Siekh Government, but great doubts were entertained,
however favourable their Government might be to
it, that the troops would submit to have a subsidiary British
tbrce established at Lahore, even although a body of then:-
selves shall be incorporated with it.

• The intelligence front Ctubul is of the usual decriptinn of
intrigues and plotst_and rebellions.

There are some intrigues going on at Herat, between
the Shah of Persia's agents and the notorious usur-
per Tar Mahomed, in which the fornier has represented
Persia as. being govenicd by Russian intrigues, and
that a peace fur 30 years had bean agreed to, and that in the
meanwhile Russia was to assist the Persian Government to
overcome all its enemies and opponents in Central Asia.
In the interior of India tranquillity prevails. Great plenty
was expected in the north-west provinces, in consequence of
the abundant, fall of rain. In some of the districts of the
Bombay presidency the'fall had been scanty. •
The departure from Calcutta of the Governor-General for
the north-western provinces was fixed for the end of Sep-
tember, when it was expected that he would endeavour to
have the new treaty with the Siekbs carried into effect.

Fro, n a consideration of the -route as described, and by a glance at
the may, it will at-once be seen that this project will place in imme-
diate cot. uexion the- mineral and coal districts of Wales—the great

The Southern Mahratta country was tranquil, although
some disaffected chiefs refused to pay their tribute.
The news from ;China comes down to the 27th or
June. The Goiernment of Hong. KOng had pub-
lished a proclamation for the assessment of houses
lands, &c., which it was maintained was calculated to prove
injurious to the colony, as tending to prevent parties front
settling there. There is an interesting discussion going forward
in India relatiVe to the island of Chisan, which now, when.
the time for its restoration to the Chinese is approaching, be-
comes of more value than ever to the British. A great un-
willingness is exhibited to restore it, on the ground that this
whole of the provisions of the treaties with the Chinese hall
not been complied. It was said that the French and Ame-
ricans cast covetous eyes on this island, against which so
many prejudices had existed, which were found by experi-
ence to be unfounded, and that they having each made stipu-
lations for an island, expect to get Chusan.

PROTECTION TO BRITISH RESIDENTS AT
BUENOS AYRES.
Captain Hotham, in command of her Majesty's ship Gorgon,
on the Buenos Ayres station; had, in a memorandum ad•
dressed to the:masters of British vessels, requested their co-
operatidn to render assistance to British life and property, if
found necessary, in the event of an interruption to the exist-
ing friendly feeling on the,,patt of the Republic.

day of

The island continues still in the hands of the British, airs
a very great wish is expressed to retain it. It is not impro-
bable that some negotiations for the purpose will be coin-
meneed ere long. • • •

The'accounts from Madrid. are to the 26th of September,
and we are glad to find that even some of the Opposition
journals admit that .the Finance Minister is compelled, by
necessity, to raise money by additional taxes. The new
system, though highly objectionable as regards details, ac-
cording to the Heiyziclo, is preferable to the total disorder
which reigned in the public revenues before Senor MaXcame
into office. This is not the only instance, however, of reform
resorted to by the Goverment. Gambling, for which Madrid
has been long notorious, is to be put down with a strong
hand.. The Political Chief bad issued an edict in which be
declares that he will punish, with the utmost severity, both
the keepers of gambling-houses and those who frequent them.
The punishment for these offences is fine and imprisonment.
No public transactions took place on the Bourse on the
26th.

The trade with the Chinese was going forward favOilkably
and it is to be hoped that the negotiations for the final pos-
session of Chusan will be attended, with the best results.
It appears thdt• the best feelings prevail between the
inha-
bitants of Chusan and the British troops stationed there. Tilo
health of the latter, • since'they had become acquainted witlt
the country and the manner of living in it, had been ex-
cellent.

GREAT IMPROVEMEVT IN THE OF PRINTING.
—As everything that tends to advance the interest and influence of
the " fourth estate" is, in oui..estimation,. important to the public,
we-have-muck pleasure in calling attention to a remarkable im-
provement just effected in the printing-press by Mr. Alexander
Burton, of Glasgow. That gentleman has invented what he calls
the "Patent Caledonian Printing Press," which is so constructed
that two sets of men, without hindrance to each other, can work
two distinct form; at one timetliere being two " tables," and but
one " platten,'' which, operating upon the tables alternately, pro-
duces an impression frorm each. One principal advantage which
this press possesses over the Columbian and other presses is, that
while they are invariably. exposed to breakage, and expend newly
half their pressure on " de ad metal," it effects a saving of labour,
and is proof against breakage, from the fact that the whole weight
and force of the press is dependent on a perpendicular pillar. To
sum up, it is easier wrotught, produces a finer impression, occupies
less space, and is cheaper and more durable than any other of the
existing printing presses.: Many eminent scientific and practical
gentlemen have examined the press, among others Professors Gor
don and Nicol, and Mr. Smith, of Deanston, all of whom have
tested it,-and expressed themselves, regarding its capabilities, in
terms of the greatest satisfaction.. We have no doubt that as soon
as it is known it will come• into g eneral use among the trade.

A:letter has, been received at 'Lloyd's -from the Foreign-
office, announcing that the anchorage assigned to vessels
arriving in the Bosphorus from the .Black :Sea; after sunset,

to enter the Bosphorus without interruption, and in the same
way as previously to the late regulation.

An extract of a dispatch from her Majesty's Consul at

that, port, has been forwarded to Lloyd's by the Board of
Trade, which can be seen upon application being made to
Mr. Dobson, Secretary.

a A plan was forming for a Steam Navigation Company
with the object of having steam-boats to, ply fron!.
Guzeritt and Sitide to Bombay, and from Bombay
to Ceylon, touching at the intermediate ports. This company
had been formed, and the greatest eagerness was exhibited.
by the public to give every assistance. The want of such
steam communications along the Malabar coast was felt tis,
all classes, and the propo'sal for forming a company was nosooner published than the lists of subscription were speedily
filled.

perm house, of about 450 candies, at rupees 231 per card
and this is the only recent transaction of which we hav:et
heard. The native dealers have exhibited throughout
little willingness to buy. Of Swedish bar a superii.o
assortment, to the extent of about 300 candies, has changed'
hands at rupees 511 per candy, and 150 candies (current
assortment) at rs. 50; the latter taken by an European house.

Cotton Manufactures—A fair demand has sprung up for shirt.:

jaconnets; and the sales of all of these, from a middling quality
upwards, have exhibited some improvement in price. Grey
jaconnets have likewise been inquired for latterly, but the prices as
offered are not remunerating. The stocks of the better qualities of
all these goods are, we believe, light. Jacconet checks and stripe

-GRAND itAILWAT CLUB.—A most numerously
attended and highly influential meeting of gentlemen connected
with railways was held at the London Tavern, at which Sir George
WiMain Prescott, Bart., presided, and amongst those present were
the Hon.-Mr. Gore, Ileteyard, T. Arnold, and W. J. Arnold,
Esqs. The Chairman explained that the object of the meeting
(which was of a preliminary character) was,' to adopt measures for
the forniation of a club,ao be composed of Railway Directors, and
parties interested in railways, for the interchange and record of
valuable information ccinnwcted with railways. The proposition
had already had the wpprohation, by letter, of upwards of one
hundred and fifty noblemen mid gentlemen, directors of railways.
Mr. Owens, solicitor, and other gentlemen, addressed the meeting,
and urged that the proposed plan would have the effect of dif.
fusing railway knowledge generally, particularly as respects the
geological state of the country, and improvement of locomotive
engines, &c.; and resalutions were unanimously carried to the
effect that the meeting thought it expedient to fbrm a society with
the convenience of a club, as a place of resort for railway directors,
&c., and an institution to receive and record railway information ;
to take suitable premises for the above ; and that a Cotnmittee be
appointed to carry such objects into effect. It was suggested to
the Committe which w*s'appointed, that professors of geology, &c.,
be appointed to give occasional lectures; and another gentleman
observed that he was of opinion that a new Bourse should be
erected, -to be devoted exclusively to railways. The 'meeting then,
after the usual courts, ifs to the Chairman, &c., broke up. •

(THIS DAY.)
William Barnes, a young man of respectable appearance,
and William IVright, a person well-known to the police, were
charged, the former with stealing 116 sticks of Indian ink, a
quantity of hair-drawing pencils, and other articles of the
value of 51, the property of Messrs. Rowney and Co., of
Itatlibone-place, artists' colourmen.

-In the last week: man, who represented himself I
to be a jeweller from Pat is, and had successively lodged at several
hotels in Havre, suddenly and secretly left the town, not only
without paying his bills,.;but carrying with him several pieces of
plate belonging to the to ife de Rouen and the Hotel tie l'Aigle ,
d'Or. The master of Uric last-named house, having learned that
his-name-was Herfun, aritd that he had taken the road to Yvetot,
followed him there. Tht!'a rogue had left the place, but through
the activity of the genditrmerie he was arrested at Mont Riboudet,
just as he was about to seek shelter in the labyrinths of Rouen.

This gentleman, most big hly esteemed for his private worth as
well as public services, es spired on Monday last, at Gateacre, near
Liverpool.

The prisoner-liurnes has been in Messrs. Rowney's employ
fur several years past. Latterly the firm had reason to sus-
pect that a very extensive system of robbery was being car-
ried on by some of their workmen. Last evening the pl.( perty
,above-mentioned was missed from a part of the premis,s
where it had purposely been placed as a trap. Barnes was
accused of sidling ir, and after some hesitation admitted
he had done so, and pointed out where he had secreted it in
one of the • kitchens. The evidence against Wright was to
the following: effect :—Sergeants English and. Adams of the C
.division havtng for some time past noticed that Wright, who
is the general associate of well-known-thieves and bad cha-
racters, was very flush of money, resolved on ascertaining
the source from which it was derived, and after narrowly
watching him for upwards of three weeks, traced out that he
was nearly in the daily habit of disposing of large quantities
of the goods usually sold by artists' colourmen, at different
shops about town. Some of the property he had so
disposed of Messrs. Rowney identified • as having been
