THE -ORIENTAL HERALD.

The number of this Periodical for November
is, marked •by several articles of superior merit,
which will be found well worth perusing. The first
article, `" On the benefits that woula result from
the Colonization of India` by British Settlers.,"
enforces the observatiOns.previonsly advanced on
this interesting subject ; but we are not, at pre-
sentprepared to 'go along with the writer,
although we have no doubt of the. ge-
neral .00r.rectness of his assumptions.—One
day or other India must be governed by free
settlers, or which is the same, our power
there, which' is at'present founded on opinion,
must appeal to reason and justice, as people be-
come to knoW,their_own strength, and self,inte-
rest whispers that we should endeavour to re-
tain our ~ superiority more by appealing to
the affection of the natives, than by ex-
citing their fears. An article in the pre-
sent number comments, we think, with merited
indignation upon the o•bitrary suspension of
an Indian Judge by the Government of Bengal,
for his: venturing, to offer an opinion as to a
matter judicially brought.before him,.which was
not agreeable to the. Government in ques-
tion. The sole ground of , suspension was
the Judge having doubted whether the .Charter
of the East India Company. would 'be again re-
newed That doubt• was at least treason
'against the hopes of the 'Company, if =not
against theiemerits ! Why, do they think that
their privilege is perpetual—that the monopoly
is to last for ever ? What a graceless example
do they exhibit of the manner in which they
would bear their sway, if' no superiot power
took cognizance of their doings, when they
venture to profane the sanctuary of Justice, if
one of its ministers have courage to speak
.out what may not be acceptable, but what may
nevertheless be very true. It is proverbial, that
the administration of justice degenerates in pro-
portion as it is removed from the fountain head, and
in this case we have a precious proof of its effects.
The Judge may have acted indiscreetly (as
the result has proved) in doubting-the omnipo-
tency of the Company, hilt that was no reason
why the Seat of Justice should be overawed by
his suspension from the Bench. Does not such
conduct warn people not to ask fOr justice in
Bengal, if their complaint he unpleasant to
the GoVernment ? and will the inference
which people naturally draw from this circum-
stance, increase the security, or weaken the
power of the Company? It will not cer-
tainly produce a favourable impression of the
manner in which justice is, administered, and
we would advise the Company to look to it,
before the intemperance of their servants beget
contempt 'for the laws which the peOple arc
taught to respect, as being provided for their com-
fort and protection. As the article to we
allude is given under the ".Spirit of the Public
:Journals,' our last page, we shall not rt.peat it
here.

AmOng the—lighter compositions we are in-
dUCed to select the following deserved tribute to

PORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.—Nov. 5

The attendance • of betting-mon of every class was very
nutnerous, and the business proportionately heavy.
great part of the afternoon was occupied. in settling the
engagements on the last week's races at Newmarket, on
.which the speculations were very extensive. Mr. Thorn-
hill's Merchant was backed freely at 7 to I, the odds at
closing m not quite so high, but, being at a fraction
between 6 and 7 to 1, we have quoted the latter as taken.
-
e
The. Colonel 'had no friends. The Duke of GiaftOn's
*Druid' was backed to 'some amount ; 'so was Omen, on
this Stakes. The Merchant was all the rage, and, before
Thursday, he will, very probably, be at 6to I. Scarcely
'any thing done on either Oaks or St. Leger.—The fol-
lowing are the odds :
