" That, in the opinion of this Court, the substitution to a
greater extent of the Agency of Natives of India for that of
Europeans, in the Civil Administration of their own Country,
is a measure which is equally called for by considerations of
justice, economy, and sound policy. That it is desirable to
give full effect to sec. 87, cap. 85, of 3d and 4th William 4th,
which enacts, That no native of the said territories, nor any
natural born subject of his Majesty. resident therein, shall, by
reason only of his religion, place of birth, descent, colour, or any
of them, be disabled from holding any place, office, or employ-
ment, under the said Company.' And that the Directors be
recommended. in furtherance of this object, to instruct the Go-
vernments of India to appoint Natives to all Offices in the Civil
Administration under the different Presidencies for which they
may be duly qualified."

TiOTICE!--COLBURN'S UNITED
SERVICE JOURNAL and NAVAL and MILI-
TARY MAGAZINE.—Mucit confusion having arisen from
the similarity of title between this Monthly periodical and
that assumed by a Weekly Newspaper (the United Service
Gazette), it has been found necessary, in order as far as pos
Bible, to prevent future mistakes, to modify the name cf this
work by a simple transposition of its double title, so as to
make a broader distinction between it and a print, with which,
it ought to be needless to say, the United Service Journal can
have no sympathy or connexion. It is therefore requested
that Correspondents will be particular in addressing their com-
munications m conformity with the title this publication will
henceforth bear—namely, COLBURN'S UNITED SER-
VICE MAGAZINE, and NAVAL and MILITARY
JOURNAL.

THE PHILIPSTOWN AIUR-DER.

The horrible murder of the poor idiot, by a party of
gentlemen who were sojourning at a country seat in the
immediate vicinity of Philipstown, and to which we
adverted on Tuesday last, has been considered as
wholly incredible. So horrible are the facts, that
scarcely any person is willing to believe that such bar-
barous cruelty could be practised by ti, party of gentle-
men in a Christian country. It is our duty, however, to
reiterate our statement. The horrible murder did take
place; but we have received additional information, which
states that the idiot murdered was not a boy but a man. He
was besmeared over with oil and turpentine, and literally
roasted to death. An inquest was held—a mock one, we are
led to believe, from the fact that one of the parties en-
gaged in -the murder sat on the inquest I Money has
been squandered in profusion to hush the matter up—
almost all the parties have decamped to England or
elsewhere. The majority of them were officers, and, we
suppose, are now with their respective regiments. What
will the Government do iu this matter ? We call upon
Lord Eliot to send a stipendiary 'Magistrate to the spot
to inquire into the matter—we ask Colonel M'Gregor
whether the police in the district made any report to him
on the subject ?—we call upon the Government to make
the proceedings of the Coroner's inquest public. A most
foul and barbarous murder has been committed, under
circumstances of aggravated barbarity, unequalled by
the horrible atrocities of Indian cruelty, and no steps
have been taken to bring the savage perpetrators to jus-
tice.—Dublin Monitor.

an hour. She must have jumped from the bridge, and
had left her bonnet and shawl on the parapet. She was
dressed in mourning. Verdict--" Found drowned."

LONDON:
MONDAY, JANUARY 3, 1842.

When we extort praise from an opponent we
are sure we deserve it. Ills abuse we disregard
as the sign of nothing but his own ill-temper.
We can conscientiously say, that " The Suit is a
paper," as the Colonial Gazette, anxious to in-
form its readers of our character, says, " of good
repute, as to the liberal arrangements which it
makes fur securing ample and speedy reports
of public occurrences." But The Son, being
in no' wise bound up with any humbug or
fraudulent schemes for enriching land jobbers
at the expense of the labourers of England,
takes OWIL view of a much-praised scheme
of boi•rowing money, or selling land that has
no value whatever, in order to obtain the
means of transpurtiug the people whom the
landlords of Eligland will not allow to live
at home and enrich their country. For taking
this independent line, which, as our readers
know,- we- took the very next publication after
we had heard of the emigration scheme, the
Coloniat;Gazette takes us to task, and misrepre-
sents our character.
The latter is public, and must vindicate itself.
Of emulation, the point about which we differ
from sundry so-called Liberal Journals, and so-
called Liberal Members of Parliament, we are

case, undoubtedly in former, times life was fre-
quently taken from jealousy, from revenge, and
from avarice, With a view to obtain worldly en-
joyments by committing the crime. The remark
of the author we have referred to shows that
crimes of violence in modern times from such
motives are much ram- than is generally sup-
posed. That is the beneficial change in the cha-
racter of man, which his remark makes obvious.
SHIPWRECKED MARINERS' SOClETY.—Sincethe establishment of this humane. Institution,
1,217 widows and orphans have been aided and
protected by it, and '2,510 seamen have been
provided with employment, who, but for the libe-
rality of the public, might have been confined
to a workhouse or starved to death. This must
be a great inducement for persons of property,
and above all men connected with mercantile
affairs to subscribe liberally. Our seamen
are the great defenders of the country,
the fisher population of England are amongst
the most industrious of her sons—their lives are
devoted not only to toil, but to peril of the ex-
tremest kind ; they must pursue their calling at
all seasons and in all weathers—under all as-
spects of danger and suffering—and their gains,
when successful, but scantily reward their exer-
tions. Under all circumstances they are objects
of admiration;—when misfortunebefals them they
have a tenfold claim upon our compassion. _ We
trust, therefore, that th• appeal now made by the
friends of the shipwrecked fishermen will not be
urged in vain. •
POST-OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY.—We gave
a favourable notice of this work when it was
published, and we are glad to find that every
London journal that afterwards adverted to it
has expressed unqualified approbation of the
plan and execution of the publication. Messrs.
Kelly and Co. deserve great credit for having
produced a Directory which surpasses any that
has yet appeared. The press is unanimous in its
favour, and we have no doubt that when the
public have an opportunity of judging of its
merits, they will find that the press, in this in-
stance, states the truth.
We regret to state that Mr. Howard, the Editor of the
Metropolitan Magazine, died on Thursday. He was the
Author -of 4. Rattlin the Reefer," and a number of other
publications, which have been well received by the public.

The Droit, a Paris Journal, of Thursday, has the fol-
lowing :—" On Tuesday evening a German shoemaker,
named Bauer, living in the Rtie du Jour, Place St.
Eustache, end several other men, were arrested under a
warrant of the Chancellor. In Bauer's lodging there
were found three hundred political pamphlets, both in
French and German, 'and a voluminouS correspondence,
which have exposed numerous -branches connected with
the Secret Societies in France, of the Communists and
others in Hesse, Baden, the Rhenish Provinces, and
other parts of Germany. These new captures arc lodged
in the Conciergerie."
The French Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday
elected MM. Galos and Boissy d'Anglas, Secretaries.
These were Ministerial candidates. On Thursday,M.
de l'Espee. another supporter of the Ministry, was voted
the third Secretary. M. Ravin, of the Left party, was
elected by agreement the fourth Secretary.
Letters from Madrid, of the 23d ult., state that the
Commissioners were to leave Madrid on the 26th for
Paris and London, for the purpose of capitalising the
over-due dividend warrants, and that two dividends will
be paid at once on the New Three per Cent. Bonds, in
proportion as they are issued. The bonds in the hands
of Ardouin and Co. are to be withdrawn and destroyed.
The Bank of St. Fernando was to advance to the Go-
vernment 24 millions of reals for this project, to be re-
paid by assignments on the public revenue.

runx.xc -OPINION.
The Advertiser has an article suggested by the circum-
stance of a great Anti Corn-law meeting in Manchester,
and the object of the article is to show that the system
of popular agitation on this question of questions must
be resolutely persevered in. " Let vigorously-worded
petitions," adds the Advertiser, " for the immediate and
Complete abolition of the bread monopoly, be forthwith
prepared in every city, borough, village, and hamlet, in
the country ; and let them be ready for presentation by
the time the Legislature commences its sittings."
' The Chronicle, referring to an announcement in Fri-
day's Times, that Lord Ashburton is about to proceed
to the United States on a special mission, with the object
of settling all existing differences between that country
and our own, states that from his Lordship's con-
nexions, and the extent of his property within the Union,
his personal influence must be considerable ; and adds,
"we believe the mission originated in the best of mo-
tives, and could not be entrusted to a fitter person."

The Times, alluding to the ladies who have taken a
share in the Corn law agitation at Manchester, observes,
" We have no time and no taste for enlarging upon
this painful subject. Presently we shall have the petti-
coat politicians of Manchester schooling us on the most
recondite questions of national policy."
