show what they had done and what they would do.—
(Hear, hear.) He thought he had shown that they had'
incurred these expenses to maintain the honour and
character of the British empire, and that they had a right
to expect that the British empire would bear the expenses.
One word now as to the finances of India, and -he had
done. He believed that they had, after a great deal of
caution, of economy, and retrenchment, reduced the debt
of India to 30,000,000/. sterling; they would, however,
find that during the last two years, up to May 1841, a
deficiency in the revenue to the amount of 5,000,0001.
was occasioned. What the deficiency would be, up to
May 1842, he could not exactly say, but he had no doubt
that it would be as much as during either of the two pre-
cedirg years, viz., 2,500,000/. So the sum of seven and
a half millions would have to be added to the previous
debt of thirty millions. If the debt of India, then, was
incapable of being reduced, when that country was in its
most flourishing condition, to what, he would ask, were
they to look now, for a reduction of the debt ? to
whom were they to look to bear the expenses (4 this
Ivor, but to the whole British empire ?—(Hear, hear.)
He hoped his motion would receive the countenance and
support of the Board of Directors. It was one, he was
sure, which ought to be supported—it was founded on
justice—and he felt no doubt but it would carry the public
sympathy along with it.—(Loud cheers.) He begged to
move—" That upon consideration of all the circumstances
connected with British intervention in the affairs of
Atighanistan, as they appear froth the papers already
laid before Parliament, it is the opinion of this Court
that the expense of that war ought not to be thrown on
the people of India, but that it should be borne by the
Exchequer of the United Kingdom."—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. LEWIS then moved that the Court do adjourn,
which having been seconded,
The CHAIRMAN said, he thought it right, before the
Court adjourned, that he should state, in order that it
might go forth to the public, that the Board of Directors
were not at all hostile to the motion of the Hon. Pro-
prietor who had just addressed them.—(Loul cheers.)
The Court adjourned till Monday next.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—Lord John Russell's apprehensions from
the Ballot are curiously contrasted with Mr. Waltley's ;
and those who prize the union of the Jeiberal party may
regret that the Noble Lord's expectationseef its working
are nut transposed to the mind of the Hon. Member for
Finsbury, and the Hon. Member for Finsbury's to the
mind of the Noble Lord. In that ease (as regards their
two persona) the Liberal party might be united—on
opposite grounds. The Noble Lord and Hon. Member
now entertain opinions which are opposite to each
other, as to what the working of the Ballot would be ;
and if they could but contrive to exchange them, they
might entertain opposite opinions still—but, on the
strength of those very opposite opinions, unite -cor-
dially for the Ballot. This the Noble Lord and Hon.
Member are unable to do at present.- Lori J. Rus-
sell opposes the Ballot ; Mr. Wakley speaks against,
and votes for it. All this difference might be remedied,
if an exchange only could be effected between the Noble
Lord and the Hon. Member df their reasons for disliking
or distrusting it. Mr. Wakley's reasons, if they could
be instilled into the mind of Lord John Russell, might
make him a supporter, instead of opponent, of Ballot ;
and Lord John Russell's, if entertained by Mr.
Wakley, would lead him to give it a decided, instead of
a very equivocal aid.
STANDARD.—The speakers on the Income-tax-de-
bate were—Lord Clanricarde (who moved that the Bill
be read a third time in three months), the Earl of Wick-
low, Lord Beaumont, Lord Monteagle, and the Earl of
Ripon. Lord Monteagle occupied more than half
the evening in an elaborate, and, we readily allow,
a very able defence of the financial policy of
the late Government. It is common experience, how-
ever, that the utmost exertion of ingeileity and
eloquence will not supply the chasm in one's pocket, or,
as a homely proverb has it, that "fair words butter no
parsnips," and all that Lord Monteagle could say failed
to explain away the actual deficiency in the Exchequer..
Ile laboured, indeed, to reduce it by a skilful com-
plication of figures, and seemed to satisfy him-
self that he had brought it under 3,000,0001. We
like Lord Monteagle, and therefore we wish that
ha was in a condition to make up the difference
between three millions and the truth, that we might call
upon hint to hand over the balance ; as there is no
chalice of this we will advise the Noble Lord to apply
to the country for a part of the sum which he has
saved to it by reasoning down the deficit. His fate,
however, will, we fear, be like that of the scholastic
who proved that two 'chickens were three, because,
first there was one, and then two, and one and two
make three, and was put off with the third chicken
of his own creation for a dinner. To be serious,
Lcrd Monteagle's speech, clever as it was, was a
monstrous piece of trifling. The deficit is more than
ten millions, if there be truth in figures. The Bill was
read a third time, and passed, by a majority of 99
to 28. This great and salutary measure has thus
passed the two Houses of Parliament, with a facility
in both Houses, and a cordial assent on the part of the ,
people, unexampled in the case of any equally exten-
sive measure of taxation ; but- how could it be other-
wise ? The great and growing deficit was manifest to
the eyes of all, except, perhaps, Lord Monteagle ; and
from first to last no one has pretended to offer any feasible
means of supplying it, except the tax upon property and
income. This bold and just measure establishes Sir R.
Peel's title to the admiration and gratitude of his
country, were the objection to his other measures,
whatever they are, multipadeenfold.
COUItIER.—The debate ;last evening on the Ballot
was, taken altogether, a stele and stupid business, just
such as we might expect wheee Mr. Ward was leader, and
frothy and fiery Mr. Shiel first falsetto. The historical
part of the Ballot in the Reform time was rehearsed over
again, and word for word the Irish orator delivered over
again the laborious and belaboured speech which he
.voided in 1839 on the same subject, but from the other
side of the House, forgetting, till disagreeably reminded,
that " Hansard" lay on the table, and that Members
might possibly have memories. The only relief to a
vapid debate were the speeches of Sir James Graham
and Lord John RUssell, and particularly the latter,
whose remarks on the experience of the Ballot in France
and the United States, although of little originality,
were pertinent to the occasion, and well put together.
The proposal of the Ballot is altogether a hollow proceed-
ing in the quarter whence it emanated and by which sup-
ported. It is not secret voting which is so much wanted
fur the protection of electors out of the House, as the
Ballot in the House itself, under cover of which apostate
or corrupt politicians, like some who may be named,
might indulge in populaF speeches and revelin popularity
out of dooes, 'whilst at the very same time, being snugly
on the private pension list of the Government, they would
be enabled, under cover of the Ballot-box, to vote in the
reverse sense of their boisterous harangues, and so cheat
the constituency whilsfobsequionsly obeying their orders
from the Court. Snails the notoriously common practice
in the-French Chamber of Deputies. If any one would
desire to know- how the ballot box and universal suffrage
work in the United States in preventing bribery and
electioneering profligacy, it is only necessary to consult
the history of the last election for members to Congress
New York, as the facts were developed subsequently
before a special eonimission
.of inquiry. From the re-
sults which transpired and were proved on oath before
that commission, it will be gethered that the difference
between electioneering corruption, as practised in this
country, and that ie the Union, is just equal to that be-
tween a wholesale.: business and that of a small retail
dealer. In the States they bribe by thousands; here by
hundreds only. Here we dismiss this trumpery ques-
. tion,'which really is not worth the summary notice we
have,bestowed upon it.

We hare been favoured with copies of a lithograph
drawing by Mr. O'Driscoll, of the criminal Francis, who
has been convicted of one of the deepest crimes that it
is possible to contemplate ; and of the hardened villain
Cooper, who lias been sentenced to die for shooting the
policeman. We cannot speak too highly of the like-
nesses. Mr. O'Driscoll has been very happy in hitting
them off ; he has just caught the expression, and appa-
rently at the most advantageous period. They are
struck upon .good paper ; and those who are anxious
to obtain a good likeness of the man who could so far
forget himself as to fire a pistol at our beloved Queen,
may depend upon having a correct one before them, if
they have one of Mr. O'Driscoll's drawings.
DR. GR.XNVILLE'S GUIDE TO THE SPAS or ENG-
L.% Nn.—The success which has attended the publication of this
valuable work has been such, we are glad to see, as to induce
the Publisher to pu:. forth a cheaper edition, in which the three
volumes formerly containing, individually, the Northern,
Southern, and Midland divisions of the Spas, are now comprised
in two volumes of 1,100 pages of letterpress, at the low price of
121. each, hound, and illustrated with no loss than 55 en-
graving's on wood, by eminent artists. This cheaper edition
must he considered as a great boon to all those whose state of
health'requires the aid of mineral springs, and to whose notice
this work points out those remedial waters of their native
country, which will at once save them all the trouble, discomfort,
and expense which a journey to the Spas of the Continent inva-
riahly entails, and which the Author has proved to be as
effective as the most vaunted of the Foreign Baths. It has
been truly observed of this work, that, " for the invalid or
tourist in search of health, it forms a perfect treasure; for in it
the composition, operation, and virtues of every one of the
mineral waters of England may be seen at one glance, together
with every information relating to them which may be of most
interest to ill who have occasion to make trial of their efficacy."
. Independently of its utility in a medical point of view, the work
may be considered unrivalled as &guide for those who merely
seek for recreation or amusement. There can be little question
that, during the present season, no tourist in England will be
without Dr. Granville's book, the cheapness of which now places
it within every one's means.
A young man of seventeen, named Philippe Ber-
geron, a clerk to a notary at Guise, and son of a respectable
non-commissioned officer, put an end to his existenee, last
week, with remarkable coolness and determination. The lady
of the house where he lived, in going up stairs, happening to
see some smoke coming through the key-hole of his door,
I knocked, and, receiving no answer, had the lock forced. The
young man was lying dead near a brazier of charcoal, and
on the table were two letters addressed to school-fellows, in-
forming them of his death. There was besidel a sheet of paper
on which Bergeron noted down his sensations during his
mortal agony. The following is a verbatim copy :---" It is
within ten minutes to four. lam going to put myself to death.
Eternity has no terrors for me, for I am not happy here below,
and therefore I must quit the earth. Five minutes Co four—l
am a useless being in the world, and a charge to every one.
Some persons will perhaps affirm that lam mad. I am, how-
ever, in my perfect senses, and this charcoal, which burns at
my side, in no way troubles me. lam anxious.that my death
should be announced to my old friends at Saint Getman), and
the letter may be directed to Morin. I begin to feel some
pain in my eyes and throat. Ten minutes past four—l am
getting drowsy. Twenty-five minutes Fast four—l fear I shall
not be able to effect my death, for my head is collected, and I
feel nothing whatever. A quarter to five—l ben to feel a
buzzing in my head. Five o'clock—still the same. This was
all, and the writing of the last words was scarcely legible.
Death came on with such rapid strides as to prevent his putting
down avy more. It is believed that the young man deter-
mined on self-destruction from not being able to cope in ex-
pense and display with some of his companions more favoured
by fortune than himself,

A gentleinan who was very lame in one of his legs,
without any outward show of anything, having sent for
the surgeon, he, more honest than ordinary, told him it
was in vain to meddle with it, for it was only old age
that was, the cause. "But why, then," said the gentle-
man, " should not my other leg I•e as lame as this,
seeing that the one is no older than the other ?"—Liver-
pool Journal.
Two days ago, as an Englishman who was at work
in the construction of an arch on the railroad between Paris
and Rouen,mar Vernon, was engaged in raising a large stone
to its place by means of a crzne, the ropes by which the heavy
block was suspended gave way, and caused an iron lever to strike
him with such force on thehreast that he fell senseless, and was
carried;Awry in a hopeless condition. - -
