CHINA AND INDIA.

The view the Treasury authorities have taken re-
specting the " Opium Scrip" given by ,Captain El-
liot, as indemnification for the drug delivered for
destruction by the British merchants, at Canton,
when the first rupture occurred there, in refusing
the allocation of any portion of the ransom money
for the liquidation of it, is naturally regarded by
them as ominous of a total rejection of their claims,
and therefore the last letters from India mention the
subject with some degree of concern to their con-
nexions here : seeing that the appeal which was
made for the appropriation of the " sycee silver"
to this purpose was not entertained, but that it was
specifically held to be a droit of the Crown, the
holders of the scrip despair of Parliament ever
making good their loss from the public exchequer,
inasmuch as it is stated, that although no doubt the
primary demand of Sir H. Pottinger, when the
Emperor is brought to reason, will be the reim-
bursement of the expenses of the war, these will have
swelled to so large an amount, that any consideration
which might be. entertained for the 2,000,0001., the
estimated value of the drug destroyed, will he fore-
borne, should it in any measure be supposed to im-
pede the other and larger settlement. Under these
circumstances, it issaid, not, however, with the idea
of weakening the rights of parties who hold the Go-
vernment responsible for such claims, but rather as a
mitigation of their loss, should the Treasury autho-
rities still exclude them frim relief, that it is some
consolation to learn that the loss sustained by the
delivering of the 20,000 chests of opium to the
Chinese has been, if not altogether, in a great mea-
sure, made up by the gains which the merchants have
made in their subsequent opium transactions. The
destruction of so large a quantity of the drug did not
fail to give it an enhanced value in the market, and
thus contributed to reimburse those who had been
sufferers.

The report of the Agricultural Society of India
had made its appearance just prior to the despatch of
the journals received by the last overland mail, but
unaccompanied by the papers which are read at the
usual meetings, and which illustrate the progress
made in the various experiments of cultivation. It,
however, states, that the chief objects which have en-
gaged the attention of the Society during the year
1841 were the condition of rice cultivation in Bengal,
and the benefits likely to result from the introduction
of Carolina rice, and the, interchange of the Baraset
grain with other districts of Bengal ; the establish-
ment of hop cultivation in India, and the production
of ripe hops at Bangalore ; the planting of timber
trees throughout the north-west provinces, and the
receipt and distribution of a large supply of Ameri-
can cotton-seed, to the extent of eighty-two maunds,
which are stated to have been despatched to almost
every district in Hindostan, as well as to the
neighbouring countries. At the nursery of the So-
ciety the greatest attention has been bestowed on the
culture of the sugar-cane, of which 41;400 had been
distributed through the provinces, the aim being the
raising of the character and value of that product.
The Society, on the whole, appears to be in a flourish-
ing condition, and the native members were increas-
ing ; the ratio at present, as compared with Europeans,
was however as 1 to 16.

Immediately below the abstract of the report of
the Agricultural Society, in the India papers, is the
account of the failure of the cotton experiment at
Surat, where it will be remembered it was com-
menced under the three American planters whom the
Court of Directors procured, at so heavy an expense,
in order to improve the cotton cultivation of India.
The ill success attending the experiment seems to
have arisen from the bad management of the general
superintendent, the Chief Collector of the district,
who appears to have been a person but little adapted
for the overlooking of an experiment so important in
its character, connected as it is with the manufac-
tures of the mother country.

EMIGRATION.--In the course of the last week the
early American ships, which go by the name of " the first
spring fleet," sailed from the Broomielaw, and, in consequence,
the business bustle which was noticed at this portion of our
locality has been somewhat lessened. Theycarry fur the most
part general cargoes, of large aggregate value. Amongst the
fleet are dispersed a considerable number of emigrants, all of
whom, with the exception of the cabin passengers, are of the
humbler orders, belonging princi,,aty to the small towns and
villages in the neighbourhood.—Caledonian Mercury.
REVERSE or FORTUNE.—:In eminent jeweller,
who at one time was reported to be worth 400,0001., is now

PEEL AND THE LANDLORDS.

The following letter of Sir Charles Wolseley,
written some six years ago, will be read with in-
terest at the present crisis. It was addressed to the
nobility and gentry forming the Agricultural As-
sociation :
My Lords and Gentlemen,,--As a man engaged in
the same pursuits, and bound by the same interests
as yourselves, and of experience equal to almost any
of you, I have a right to address you, which makes
any excuse unnecessary. From the nature and terms
of your Association, and from the published senti-
ments of many respectable men of your body, I am
led to believe that you will reap nothing more for
your labour than the pains thereof. An institu-
tion for the attainment of practical good, must not
only have cohesion but unity of purpose, single-
ness of action, and direct and tangible means for
following that purpose out to its conclusion. The
fable of the bundle of sticks has a point which
is all very well in its way. But if you get no fur-
ther than the imitation of sticks in a bundle, I fear
that a waggish and mischievous generation like the
present will be apt to say that you are indeed a pack
of sticks, in no way formidable to any other portion
of the community. I observe the most strange dis-
cordance in your views, even now, in the days of your
noviciate, and long before that trying season when
you will be front to front with the crafty enemy,
namely, the monied, mercantile, and manufacturing
interests. In their forces you will find no resem-
blance to your own condition and conduct. Full of
envy and rivalry as they are, one with another, you
will be astonished, and, I fear, confounded by their
firmness, union, and adroitness in the hour of
trial. Already, while you are criticising one another's
sentiments with an acrimony which makes 'Change
Alley shake with laughter at your expense, their
organs in town and country are giving tongue, in most
harmonious yelping, to raise the people against you.
I know that none of us are wiser than our need.
But I cannot help wondering at you when I read of
an organisation which, by its protestations, with re-
gard to debt, taxes, and currency, has nearly bound
itself to complete inaction before a blow is struck.
Can it be possible that men with reasoning heads upon
their shoulders, complaining to the world of the unjust
depreciation of their property, and the ruin of their
tenantry, have published the alleged causes of
their sufferings, with an undertaking that they will
not in any way provoke or allow discussion upon
them, although the catalogue comprises the only con-
ceivable causes that any one can point out ? Yes,
unhappily, it is possible, and it is fact. You give the
world to understand that your Association has nothing
" political " in its object, and many of your members
join the cry ,of " mad dog," when any allusion is made
to the state of the currency and the taxes, as connected
with prices and rents, as rabidly as any of the cronies
of Sir R. Peel.
If you shut out what is " political" (meaning, ac-
cording to Johnson, that which concerns the commu-
nity at large),—if you' shut out the consideration of
a debt contracted and taxes laid on to pay the inte-
rest of that debt in money, 90s. of which were required
to buy a quarter of wheat for ten years together,
and the payment of which is now enforced with wheat
at Ss. the bushel,—if you shut out the fact that in
the former period the Government forced upon the
country a vitiated paper currency, and then, when the
whole burden of state profligacy was weighing upon
the shoulders of the productive classes, the Govern-
ment passed laws to prohibit the circulation of paper
money on any terms,—if, I say, you resolve upon the
exclusion of these things from your deliberations,
because, forsooth, they are "political," what, I ask
you, have you left to waste your breath and ink upon ?
Suffer me, with a firm but friendly hand, to re-
move the veil which disguises, without giving any
interest, to the beauty of your designs. In disavow-
ing. anything " political," you unwittingly prove
yourselves to be rather too politic. Confess, now,
without blushing, is not this course suggested in
order to shun the politics of the Liberal or Movement
party? Yes, yes; you own the soft impeachment.
You cannot do much longer with rents, dwindling
or in abeyance, with lands racked out, fences fallen
down, and drains choked up ; but neither can you
go on, as you believe, without Sir Robert Peel and
his " Conservative principles of government." Ah !
Sirs, you will find, before long, who has the best
of Conservatism—you, in the incomes of landed
estates, or he in the receipt of a princely revenue
from the funds, those funds being replenished by
taxes squeezed, in the main, out of the pro-
duce of your lands, that produce being reduced, by
an Act which bears his own name, to the minimum
of value. Why should any of us wish to hide the
fact ? A great, a ruinous blunder has been com-
mitted. You were tempted by the syrens of the
money market. You were warned with more than
the persuasiveness of Ulysses, by. Mr. Cobbett, of the
danger of listening to them. You passed the cash
payment Act, and doomed all bonded debtors, public
or private, to pay treble value to their creditors in
future. This, with respect to the debt called national,
is a deliberate confiscation, without the receipt of any
equivalent by the nation of two-thirds of the products
of all the national industry for ever. This, however,
does not describe the actual nature and amount of the
Peel and Ricardo scheme of plunder. Under the
stimulus of this harassing goad, the industry of the
country multiplies products in a ratio out of all pro-
portion to the money in circulation. The cheapness
of products caused by their multiplication would of
itself be a general blessing. But under the action of
the debt, aided by the ',increasing disproportion of
money and commodijie that cheapness has no other
effect than pamyorilig the public annuitants with fresh
spoils torn from the sinking ranks of industry. One
illustration may be useful.

THE FRENCH FOST-OFFICE AND
GAIAGNANI'S NEWSPAPER.

We give the following paragraph from Galignani's
Messenger of Tuesday, as a specimen of the ill-treat-
ment which everything in the shape of an English jour-
nal experiences at the hands of the French Post office:

" We have once more to call the attention of the
superior authority to the unaccommodating conduct of
an under director at the Post-office, by whom a portion
of our yesterday's journals, which arrived five minutes
after the stipulated time, was refused, thus depriving
part of our subscribers of their journals, containing one
of the most important debates of the present Session of
Parliament. Were there any reason for this extreme
rigidity as to a few minutes more or less, it would be
excusable ; but there is none! the mails not being
despatched from the Post-office until six o'clock, three
hours after the time they insist upon the newspapers
being taken to the office. What a contrast does this
conduct present with the prompt and business-like
activity which reigns at the same establishment in Lon-
don, where the journals are received until within one
hour of their being despatched. The difference is, that
in England the object of the Post-office and its employes
is the service and accommodation of the public, while, in
Paris, that establishment, in the opinion at least of the
sous-directeur, M. Mollard, seems to be kept up, not for
the public service, but merely to supply its heads with
comfortable berths and salaries at the least possible
amount of -trouble. In a word, these gentlemen take
upon themselves to be the masters, instead of servants,
of the public ; and it is high time that this conduct,
which has notoriously given rise to complaints from so
many quarters, should be seriously looked into by their
superiors, It is stated the' utmost anarchy prevails
throughout the establishment ; however this may be, it
is extremely hard that the inconveniences of such an im-
proper state of things should fall upon journalists who,
as in our case, after making every possible effort to
supply their readers with the fullest and latest intelli-
gence, find all their exertions defeated by a system of
petty despotism like that we have described?!

" ASSES" IN PARLIAMENT.—The Times suggests
" as a curious subject of physiological inquiry, what it can be
that makes the whole House of Commons go off into violent fits
of laughter on the slightest mention of an ass—as if it were
some newly-discovered animal, which had never before entered
their imagination—some lususnaturce—some startling and ori-
ginal phenomenon, as yet unheard of within or without the
walls of their House." Certainly an ass can be no such'novelty
to 'Weathers of Parliament ; can it, Colonel Sibthorp ?—Punch.
LIVES OF THE QUEENS OF ENGLAND.—We con-
gratulate the public that Miss Strickland has at length been
enabled to produce the fourth volume of her highly interesting
work, comprising the Lives of Elizabeth of York, surnamed the
Good, Queen of Henry Vll.,—and Katharine of Arragon,
Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour. Anne of Cleves, and Katharine
Howard, consorts of Henry VIII. It is rather singular that in
the best written histories of this country scarcely any notice is
taken of the Queen's Consort, although most of them exerted
considerable influence over public affairs and society during
their reigns ; and to Miss Strickland the reader is indebted for
the first effort that has hitherto been made to give them the his-
torical importance to which they are entitled . Her learned and
entertaining volumes, therefore, have become indispensable.
companions to every' history of England, and are deserving of
no less respect from the scholar than admiration from those who
feel a proper interest in the annals of their country.
BRUSSELS, APRIL 11.—Prince Nicholas Esterhazy,
the eldest son of Prince Paul Esterhazy, who lately married
the daughter of Lord Jersey, arrived at Leige on the Bth of
April, on his way to Vienna. The Countess Vandermeere,
mother of the General, died yesterday morning, at an advanced
age, after a long and painful illness. She had supported with
admirable resignation the arrest and condemnation of her son.
We find the following in a letter from Nuremberg,
given by the Journal de Franefort :—" The King has ordered
that some distinguishing mark shall be put upon the house
which was occupied by Palm, the bookseller, who was shoe by
order of Napoleon, for having preferred death in the cause of the
honour and liberties of Germany to an infamous denunciation."
A correspondent writes from Alexandria to the
Leipsic Gazette that., in the early part of March, several wo-
men in the harem of Mehemet Ali died, and were buried
without being subjected to the inspection of the physicians of
the Board of Health ; a proceeding which led to a conclusion
that the plague had not ceased its ravages.
During the fair at Vichy, in the Allier last week,
the ferry-boat to Charineil, which was overloaded with pas-
sengers and cattle, was upset in the middie of the river, and
eleven human beings were drowned. The boat was known to
be very crazy, and the water was very rough, yet these unfor-
tunate persons ventured in it to save the trifling difference it
would have cost them by paying the toll of a bridge, to cross
which would have taken them but a very short way round.
Sixty millions of litres
.(rather more than 63 mil-
lions of English quarts) of beer, says a Belgian journal," were
consumed in Brussels last year, making an average consump-
tion of about four litres per day for each beer-drinker. It
would appear from this statement that teetotalism is not in
high favour at Brussels.
In Auvergne and the Allier, says a letter from
Gannat, the weather, during the first week of this month, has
beeen most severe, and more snow and sleet fell than is within
the recollection of the oldest inhabitants.
The Konigsberg Gazette has a letter from Poland,
stating that the statue of Joseph Poniatowsky, the model of
which had been been made by Thorwalthen previous to the
Polish revolution, has lately been cast in bronze, with the in-
tent of its being erected at Warsaw. A decree, however, was
sent from St. Petersburgh forbidding this, and ordering it to be
sent to Russia. Against this disposal of the sta'ne, the Coun-
tess Tyszkiew, the sister of the Prince, who had contributed
2,000 ducats, protested, in behalf of herself and the other
subscribers, claiming the work as their private property. To
this claim no answer was given ; but the Russian Cabinet
transmitted an order that the statue should be melted down,
and the model by Thorwaldsen, which had long formed one of
the greatest ornaments of the collet:6bn of plaster-casts at War-
saw, be broken up and destroyed.
ACCIDENT AT HYDE PARK.—At a lit t 1,2 after four
o'clock yesterday afternoon a gentleman wa, thrown from his
horse in the ride called Rotten-row, in Hyde Park. He was
conveyed to St. George's Hospital in a state of insensibility.
The usual surgical assistance was immediately afforded, but
without any results which leave a hope of his recovery. His
name and circumstances arc unknown. Prince George of Cam-
bridge witnessed the accident, and made repeated inquiries a
the Hospital respecting the unfortunate gentleman's condition,
We lern from Rome that the murderer of Count
Palin has been tried and condemned to death. He was a
dealer in antiquities, of whom the Count was in the habit of
making purchases.
We learn from Bastin, by R letter of the 31st ult.,
that there had been committed at Ajaceio four atrocious mur-
ders' all within a week of each other. The first victim was
a relation of the commandant of the citadel, who rsceived se-
veral gun-shot wounds in the open market-place, in the pre-
sence of at least thirty persons, all of whom immediately fled
to prevent their being called upon as witnesses, and thereby
subject themselves to the vengeance of the murderers and
their families. The second was precisely a similar attack, in
the same public situation, upon a defenceless woman, who
was repeatedly stabbed with a stiletto by a single ferocious as-
sassin, who was afterwards suffered to go off to the moun-
tains without the least impediment from the numerous
people who were spectators of the scene. Afterwards one
man was shot, and another stabbed to death in the middle of a
frequented street by a single bravo, who was quietly suffered to
make his escape.
MR. HULLAII'S MUSICAL CLASSEF.—These classes
held their first great choral meeting on Wednesday evening at
Exeter-hail, in order to show the proficiency they had acquired
by Wilhelm's system. The orchestra was divided into " re-
served seats" for the more distinguished portion of the auditors,
amongst whom were his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the
Duke of Wellington, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York,
the Bishop of London, and Lord Wharncliffe. The coup d'ceil
presented by the hall shortly before the commencement
of the evening's . performances, was exceedingly grand,
the body of which was filled by the immense
mass of male and female vocalists (1,500 in number)
who have followed Mr. Hullah's course of instructions.
At eight o'clock the performance commenced. Mr. Hullah
conducted the chorus, which was unaccompanied by any in-
strument. The concert was divided into two parts, of which
the first comprised various psalms and hymns; beginning with
the 100th Psalm, and the seconal a madrigal, by Donato, some
songs by Wilhelm, and concluding with " God save the
Queen." The effect of such an unprecedented number of
voices was most singular and imposing, and considering that
there was no instrument to guide the singers, their general
precision was remarkable. In the course of the evening Mr.
Hullah made his pupils go through ascending and descending
scales in various times, representing the notes by manual
signs. The concert terminated about ten o'clock. Prince
Albert and the Duke of tot ellington were loudly cheered as they
left the Hall; the Noble Duke looked exceedingly well, and ap-
peared much to enjoy the evening's performance.
His Grace the Duke of Wellington will take the
chair at the anniversary dinner of the Royal South London
Dispensary on the 11th May.
HAYMARKET.—This theatre was on Wednesday
night crowded to the full to witness Mr. Charles Kenn's first
appearance in the character of Claude Melnotte, in the Lady
of Lyons. The character of the sentimental swindler, which
is little calculated to excite the interest, or enlist the sympa-
thies of an audience, was, through Mr. Kean's representation,
rendered an attractive and emphatic part: and the various
episodes of the impostor were well delivered. At the close of
the performance air. and Mrs. Kean were, as usual, called for,
anti loudly applauded. The piece is announced for repetition
on Monday next.
FRENCH Tarbffe was played on
Wednesday night, in which Mdlle Plessey 's Elmire was as fine a
specimen of the character, as this drama can be said to have
produced. M. Cartigny made a very efficient Orgon, and M.
Otidinet succeeded as the hypocrite. A brief vaudeville, en-
titled Arriver a Propos, preceded ; and a one-act comedy of
Andrieux, also added to the entertainments.
SCOTTISH SONG AND MUSIC.—HANOVER-SQUARE
R ooms. —Mr. Wilson's second entertaining illustration of Scot-
tish music and song, was on Wednesday morning given in the
Queen's Concert Room, Hanover-square, before a fashionable
audience, among whom we noticed Lord Viscount Gae, Lady
Fraser, Lady Lumley, and Mr. Allen Cunningham. I'his en •
tertainnient was, as usual; exceedingly instructive as well as
pleasing, and his budget of fact, anecdote, reminiscence, and
tradition, was stored with abundance of what is quite new to
us " Southrens." Mr. Wilson entered into an interesting ex-
ptanation.of the curious endings of the old stock airs, showing
that several of them were peculiar to mountainous countries.
Melodies ending on the sixth of the key—an odd butcharactere
istic effect—were well illustrated by the song of "The Birks of
Aberteldy," and those on the third of the key were exempli-
fied by o Hoye; Wife of Aldivalloch," the anti-tonic finish of
which mnst have struck all who have sung or heard it.
The second part commenced with a narrative respecting
ancient poetry, with allusion to songs—the "Complaint of

by the late Mr. Fraser, the celebrated performer on the oboe.

Is it better with manufacturers ? By no means. Mr.
Fielden has proved before Parliament, that, reckoning
the payment of interest by the prices of the cotton
manufacture through the whole of the periods before
alluded to, the fundholders have received back both

principal and interest, and are now indebted to the pub-
lic for an overplus. What has been the fate of the Ba-
ronet himself all this while ? His fortune in 'the
funds stands at its nominal amount, while yours is
dropping into annihilation. He is at the point of
summer heat, and you are falling below zero. The lower
you go, the higher he stands ; the more he gains. But
I suppose yon will find it necessary to "grin and
abide it." He is your own. He is your serpent of
the wilderness. But he gazes on you without healing
you. There is only one way to safety. You Must

your obedient servant and fellow-sufferer,
CHARLES WOLSELEY.
P.S. Mine will be a lady's postscript : it will con-
tain the whole mystery of the subject. Consider it
Well. It was written more than a hundred years ago.
Observe what wisdom, what prophetic sagacity,
breathes through it! 'Where would you be now, if,
instead of mortgaging the soil and the people to the
fundholders, to carry on crusades against the liberties
of mankind, you had acted the part of " natural
guardians," as you style yourselves, and firmly held
to this advice, given by the great Locke ?
"This, by the way, if well-considered, might let
us see that taxes, however contrived, and out of
whose hand soever immediately taken, do, in a
country where their great fund is in land, for
the most part terminate in land. Whatsoever the
people are chiefly maintained by, that the Govern-
ment supports itself on. Nay, perhaps it will
be found, that those taxes which seem least to affect
the land will most surely of all others fall on the rents.
This would deserve to be well considered in the raising
of taxes, but the neglect of it brings upon the country
gentleman an evil which he will be sure quickly to
feel, but not be able very quickly to remedy ; for
rents once fallen are not easily raised again. A tax
laid upon land seems hard to the landholder, beeaused
it is so much money going visibly out of his pocket ;
and therefore as an ease to himself, the landholder is
always forward to lay it on commodities. But if the
rich man thoroughly consider it, and examine the
effects, he will find he buys this seeming ease at a
very dear rate ; and though he pays not this tax im-
mediately ou.t.a£.lli.aversi.purse, yet his purse will find
it bra greater want of money there at the end of the
year than that comes to, with the lessening of his rents
to boot; which is a settled and lasting evil, that will
stick upon him beyond the present payment."
