Novelty is the order of the day at this house, and in w, 7io
it so Oxberry shows his good sense. Novelty and enterso
are the two great elements of success in these days, and esili
judgment is added to than, success is certain. Last elor
he produced two new pieces, both of which were decidOljk
cessful. The first was entitled The Kiss, or Bertha? f-,.‘
This is a fairy tale of the kountain Sylph school, der-

GROWTH OF SUGAR IN INDIA,
Ine of indl,l, tile ieiLlity tiic
the cheapness of food and labour, and the certainty
hat the best cotton, sugar, &c., can be produced there,
has long been admitted. Many other articles of, ex-
tensive consumption in Great Britain and foreign Eu-
rope have long been shipped from India ; and we are
continually adding new staples to our imports from
• thence, such as tea from Assam, linseed, tallow, &c.
Of all East India produce, the article which most
decidedly takes the lead in British ai.d European
markets, classed with the same article the produce of
other countries, is indigo and is this to be attributed
to mere chance? No; for we find (with a very few
exceptions), that it is only the indigo from factories
under European management which may be classed
as fine, whilst the quality of that under native mark
is generally very inferior, and almost always falsely
Packed ; the best being placed at the top of the box,
::.'whilst the bulk is inferior and rubbishy.
In the growth of sugar and cotton there are only
solitary instances as yet of Europeans being concerned.
Hitherto the principal consumers of sugar in India
have been the Hindoos themselves • it is impossible to
,Say what is the consumption Of 130 millions of
-People, all eating more or less, according to their
Means, from the raw cane of the poor to the refined
:sweetmeats of the rich. The quantity of sugar daily
eaten by a Hindoo would sicken an Inglishman, and
rating the exports of Bengal at 60,000 tons, I should
say it was a small amount in comparison with the con-
sumption of Indian grown sugar in India.
But the high rates ruling in England have been
such as to cause very high prices to rule in Calcutta,
.„"d, during the time when the bulk of the crop was
filling upon the Calcutta market, in June to Septem-
. -.7r, 1840, Company's rupees 11 to 15 per maund were
e prices current for fine white Benares, which cost
"se native grower not more than 6 to 7 rupees per
InP-und to lay down at Calcutta.
These high rates induced a decrease of native con-
- sUmption ; for a greater portion of the year's crop
Was shipped to Calcutta than was ever known before.
Mil
en prices rapidly fell in England, there was no
• Corresponding effect in Calcutta, though prices did not
Rive way, in consequence of less eagerness to purchase
r export to Great Brittain ; but it afforded the Bom-
bay merchants an opportunity of buying, the native in-
land bazaars were better supplied; and even those who
Were large holders in Calcutta clearly saw that the
great accumulation of shipping (requiring sugar for
return cargoes), with English crews, officers, and
commanders, would take more injury in being ex-
Posed to the heat of a tropical sun than their sugar
%,,".,111d, stowed away in their godowns or warehouses ;
'and even in theface of discouraging advices from Great
rittiin, the prices which had fallen, in May, 1841,
;9, 43 low as Company's rupees 11.8 per maund,
-cranced to 13 rupees, whilst freight declined from
Ms. to 21. per ton of 20 cwt. There are perhaps no-
Where to be found cleverer salesmen or buyers than
teiti2°l.lgst the native dealers of Calcutta ; and though
"e- grower could afford to sell fine white Benares
agar at Calcutta at from six rupees to seven rupees
ter Maund, it is not likely he would do so as long as
tce, could by any means obtain eleven to fifteen rupees
irlr,,,it• Merely because such rates have been ruling

the rates ruling at Calcutta, from 11 to 15 rupees (aye-
: iltP 13 rupees), costs 41s. 6d bonded in England, with

of.h .
began to rule in Calcutta in 1840 had the effect
l'-ia 414nediately bringing a vastly increased quantity of
1:4,1)41- under sugar cultivation ; but the result of that
h,...e4Tas;ed cultivation will only appear in the Calcutta
741tet in 1842, and here in the fall of this year, as the

6,•`-`',iuP-to the date of the latest advices received,
peen such as to yield a profit to the native grower
25. to 100 per cent., the. probability is that
• .li7 culture of the sugar cane is still rapidly increas-
lrg.; for it will continue to increase so long as the
ttWer can make even a small profit by it. The cul-
th7e of the sugar cane, and the manufacture of it in
Tharnative way, by which the finest white Benares
'ter is now produced, requires very little capital.

Part% advantages which mark Bengal, and other

that ._sere is a sr.aitil
—l3O millio."s. Is it that they prefer to go naked to
being clothed ?. Certainly not ; for the higher classes
are well clothed, and take much pride in a neat and
clean appearance, and in the extent of their ward-
robes. Then, why is it that so large a population
take so small a proportion of our manufactures ?
The bulk of that population are nearly naked,
simply because they cannot afford to purchase
a covering for their bodies. In all countries
it is necessary that the inhabitants should be fed ;
but in India, where many do perish for the want of
food, especially in times of famine, they will never,
or very seldom, be much inconvenienced for the want
of clothing. A more general and extensive consump-
tion of our manufactures must wait upon a more ge-
neral clothing of the Hindoo ; a more general cloth-
ing of the Hindoos must wait upon their being in a
position to afford it ; and how are they ever to be in
a position to afford it until they can secure to them-
selves the full value of their own labour in producing
more extensively some articles of general consumption
both in India and throughout the world—such as sugar
and cotton ?

We want not the emigration of labour to India,
but that of skill and capital to control and direct the
natural acuteness of the Hindoos, .liussulmans, &c.
A fixed land-tax, as in Bengal, should be instituted
all over India, varying according to the capabilities
and position of the land, which should be held, not
merely on a short lease, but as long as the fixed an-
nual rent is annually paid.
No one accustomed to travel in the interior of India
can fail to observe the want of roads. Excepting the
neighbourhood of the Presidencies such means of com-
munication are unknown. We cannot see any imme-
diate likelihood of their being instituted except by
Government. The natives know not by experience
the value of such communications ; and the residence
of Europeans in India is too uncertain to induce them
to sink capital there, in an undertaking requiring
constant attention and superintendence.

RESCUE OF A BOAT'S CREW DRIVEN OUT TO SEA.— A
letter has been received at Lloyd's from her Majesty's acting
Consul for the Azores, dated St. Michael's, 25th May last,
stating that Captain. Walter, of the Samuel had, on the 2d
May, .in lat. 37 deg. N. and long. 17 deg. 30 W., about 400
miles from land, saved' a boat's crew, consisting of ten men,
natives of St. Michael's, who had been driven out to sea in
their attempts to pass from that port to another, and who
had nut tasted food or fresh water for the space of six
days. Captain Walter landed them at St. Michael's, and his
humane and honourable conduct towards these prior fellows
who, probably, but for his timely assistance, would have
perished under circumstances peculiarly agonizing, had
created a great sensation amongst all classes at St. Michael's;
so much so, as to call forth a proclamation fram the Governor
to the inhabitants, calling on them to rai-e a subscription to
testify the high regard they entertained of his conduct. 111 pur-
suance of which, a subscription was afoot at the date of the
letter, •25th May, winch amounted to 150 dollars, and it was
ii.tended by the authorities to present Captain Walter with a
piece of plate through the Portuguese Ambassador in London.

The Kiss; or, Bertha's Bridal, a new musical
fairy romatvie, from the pen of Mr. William Collier, with en-
tirely new music by Mr. Clement White, was produced last
night at the English Opera House. The principal characters
were sustained by Misses Gould, Crisp, and Hughes, and
Messrs. Barker and Clement White.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—II Barbiere was
again brought out en Saturday with the same cast as on the
preceding Tuesday, viz.—Lablache the Padre, and Ronconi
his colleague. In addition to Madame Viardot end Grisi,
Persiani is the third excelleat Rosina whom we have of late
years seen in London and Paris.
THE IRISH POST-OFFICE.----A paragraph lately ap-
peared its a London paper, in which it was stated that a sum of
29 Wu/. was due to the Irish Post-office, which was totally
irrecoverable. Having been under the impression that this
establishment was worked in an efficient manner, we have
taken some trouble to ascertain the real facts, which are these :
—A sum, nearly as large as that stated, is due, but it hat beers
accruing for a period of upwards of fifty years; but, taking the
past ten years, the irrecoverable debts are but two—one
against a Postmaster in Connemara, amounting to 35/. 55.,
the second in Tipperary, amounting to 81. 3s. There is always
a floating debt due by provincial Postmasters, who are fur-
nished every three months, and in a few days after the receipt
of their accounts, they invariably 'pay them with promptness
and satisfaction.—Dublin Pest.

THE UNEMPLOYED IN PERTH.—On Wednesday a
meeting of members of Council, manufacturers, and others,
for the pureose of inquiring into the present state of destitu-
tion, arising from want of employment, now existing in Perth,
was held in the Council Chamber. Provost Sidey in the Chair.
It was stated that the number of weavers had decreased to 18
or 20, but that labourers were rapidly on the increase, and now
numbered 150 ; which amount was to be increased the next
day by 30 carpenters, who were then to be idle, from the re-
pairs on the dredging-machine being completed. After some
discussion a Committee was appointed to raise funds by public
subscription, and provide work, and to commence its labours
immediately.—Paisley Advertiser.

THE YEOMANRY.--The state of the country is be-
coming every day more alarming, and it is evident that this is
the opinion of the Government. The Yeomanry at Burnley,
in Lancashire, have obtained orders from Government to hold
themselves in readiness for immediate action. The people ask
for bread, and again they are to have steel and bullets.

SUICIDE AT 13RIGHTON.,—BRIGI1TON, SUNDAY,
JUNE 12.—Last night a distressing suicide was committed by
a lady of weak intellect, who had been residing for the benefit
of her health, at 14, Crescent-place, Brighton. It appears that
the unfortunate lady was Mrs. Mary Cumberland, the mother
of six children, and the wife of Mr. Richard Cumberland, a gen-
tleman said to hold a high official situation in the Tower of Lon-
don. Far some time past she had been left in the care of the land-
lady of the house, and according to custom for protection slept
between two females. Last night they retired to rest soon
after ten, and about eleven o'clock Ann Leifer, one of the ser•
vents, was surprised to hear the outer door violently closed
s e immediately proceeded up stairs to ascertain the cause, and
found the unfortunate lady had left the bed, her two attendants
being fast asleep. The prslice were alarmed and a search com-
menced without effect, until about two o'clock this morning,
when two of the coast guardsmen, named Joseph Grist and
Thomas Robertson, perceiving s ,mething white washed up on
the beach, went to the spot and found it to he the body of the
unfortunate lady quite dead. The cause assigned for com-
mitting the rash act was an idea she had entertained for
some time past, that she was about being removed to a lunatic
asylum.
Mr. Wilson, before his departure from town to
fulfil some provincial eng gemeuts, wall give but three more
evenings' entertainments at the Music Hall in Store-street—
viz., this evening, and on Mondays next and following, the 20th
and 27th inst. Of his se.eral performances there is none more
populsr than what is called his " Charlie nights," wherein are
comprised the principal sesigs written in espousal of the cause
of an exiled prince, who sought to restore the fallen fortunes of
his family, which will come off to-night. What are to be the
subjects of his two following nights' entertainments has not at
present transpired.
The King of Song, the inimitable Rub:ni, is again

FATAL ACCIDENT.— Yesterday morning a
yotath of the name of Charles Lock lost his life under the fol-
. lowing distressing circumstances :—lt appears that the unfor-
tunate lad was bathingia the Thames opposite Messrs. Goding's
brewery, about half-past twelve o'clock, with several other
persons, when all of a sudden he was observed to sink in the
water. An alarm was raised, the drags procured, and
the river searched, but we regret to state without
avail, as the body was nowhere to be found. On
the first alarm bring raised, a gentleman, who was passing
near the spot, plunged into the water, and nearly
lost his own life, for he was instantly seized with cramp in the
chest, and was obliged to be pulled out of the water by another
person. The deceased was only 11 years of age ; his parents
reside at No. 92, W ebber- row,. Blackfriars.

The General Steam Navigation Company's vessel,
The Giraffe, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom House
at eleven o'cluck.on Sunday, with the Dutch mails.
it is said that General Rodil is to have the forma-
tion of the New Spanish Administration, and that General
Saone is to succeed him as Commander-in-Chief of the army
of the North.

HAMBURGH MAIL.

HamannGil, JUNE B.—The ReLet* Committee (HuWye-
na, publishei its list report of its proceedings to the end
of the month In which it was formed. It ha 4 received, up to
the end of May, 90,224 marks currency (about 16 marks to 1/.
sterling), 197,027 marks banco (13 2-fifths to 1/. sterling),
and 1,000/. sterling.

The General Relief Committee appointed by the Senate has
likewise begun the publication of the sums received. It com-
mences with the gifts of several kings and sovereign princes,
and then gives those received from the different places in al-
phabetical order, beginning with Anslam, and ending (that is,
so far as published in the Hamburgh Borsenhalle) with Ko-
nigsburgh. The sum total is not yet given, nor is the list com •
plete, many contributions having been received since it went to
press. A special committee has been formed to promote the
rebuilding of St. Peter's church.
BERLIN, JUNE 3.—M. Van Rochow the Minister of the In-
terior, has issued a circular to all the chief Presidents of the
provinces of the kingdom, in which he states that it has hitherto
been supposed that copper-plate, iithographic, or other prints
intended for sale, were liable to the censorship, and that this
opinion was founded in the 4th act of the edict of October 18,
1819 ; but that on mature consideration he is convinced that
there is no legal authority for subjecting prints to the cen-
sorship.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—On Saturday last, Mr. B.
Baldwin, M.P., had a very narrow, and we may add, a very
miraculous escape of his life, whilst riding a highly spirited
horse to the fete at the Horticultural Gardens, Chiswick, as,
within a mile of the place, in passing a gig, a Richmond om-
nibus bore done upon him with great velocity, and so closely
as to cause the step of the vehicle to cut his right leg through
his trousers and boots, and pierce the right flank of his horse,
which made him rear and fall back upon the Hon. Member,
who was taken up and carried into a neighbouring house, but
who, we are happy to say, made his appearance in the gardens
at a late hour with his right arm in a sling, and limping in
his walk, so that we hope no serious consequences will tollow.
We understand it is probable that the noble animal will be
rendered entirely useless. Surely some law ought to be passed
to regulate these lawless drivers, who care no more about the
life of an individual than that of a reptile —[We copy this
graphic account from our respectable Contemporary the
Standard, and think that these lawless drivers should be
punished for caring "no more about the life of an individual
than that of a reptile. "1
The main cause of the diminishing trade of our
merchants, and the diminishing employment of our population,
is to be found, not so much in the duties on foreign wool, as
in the Corn-laws, which keep up the price of food, and pre-
vent exchange with foreign nations ; and in the immense load
of taxation we have to bear, which renders production of all
kind so much more expensive in this country than on the Con-
tinent of Europe. Unless we have cheaper bread, cheaper
Government, and perfect freedom of exchange, we must go on
declining as a manufacturing nation, and our millions of arti-
sans must be thrown out of employment by our more fortunate
continental rivals. Already, in consequence of the distress
thus occasioned, has the position of affairs in this country be-
come frightful ; the amount of dist. ess is quite unprecedented,
and there is no prospect whatever of relief. We understand
that the aristocracy are becoming alarmed. and that even many
of the more benevolently disposed of the Tory party are willing
to re-consider the Corn-laws, and give up their present " pro-
tection," if they see no other prospect of relief for the com-
munity.—Leeds Times. .
MODE OF ENUMERATING THE UNEMPLOYED AT
PAISLEY.—From a scrutiny which has been carrying on for
the last fortnight, it appears that the data made use of in as-
certaining the numbers on the unemployed list have been erro-
neous, and have shown the numbers on the list, considerably
higher than facts warranted. In regard to males the enume-
rators of the relief bommittee, who made up the lists, went on
the assumption that the dependents on each amounted to 24,
AThereag, in reality, they amount only to 2i ; and that the de-
pendents on females amounted on an average of two to each,
while in reality they amount to very little more than one. The
result of the whole is, that the total number of unemployed,
stated officially in our last at 10,427, ought to have been con-
siderably under 8,000. The number is still formidable, but
it is so far satisfactory to find that the case is not so bad as
dependence on erroneous data made it.--Paisley Advertiser.
SINGULAR INCIDENTS.--A few days ago a series of
casualties, which we should be disposed to term whimsical, were
it not that one of them at least was attended with some degree
of danger to life, took place at Greenock quay. A smart,
cleanly-looking servant girl, about to enter upon a " new
place, appeared at the quay with a large and heavy trunk, for
the purpose of going on Wad a steamer, which was about to
cross to the Gairloch. The trunk, while being hauled on deck,
by some means or other, got out of the hands of its custodiers,
and tumbled into the sea. This was casualty the first, and
steps were promptly taken to remedy it. The trunk was
raised out of the water, and while slowly ascending by the
steamer's side, its owner eagerly stretching out her arms to
clutch it, the lid suddenly gave way, separating from the
body, and the trunk once more floated in the water. With
the same promptitude as before the devoted chest was
seized, and again it was in the act of being swung on board,
when, as easualty the third, crash went the bottom, and into the
sea tumbled, in " most admired disorder," the body
habiliments of the unfortunate serving wench here
a gown and there a petticoat, here a shoe and there
a dashing Sunday shawl, with aprons, caps, stockings,
and shifts of every variety—while a large catalogue of small
articles were covered by a huge blue umbrella, which un-
furled itself in all its amplitude, as if to protect them from the
rain above, deeming them, no doubt, wet enough below.
By dint of exertions, for which the half-frantic maiden felt
she could never be sufficiently thankful, the scattered arti-
cles of dress, including the blue umbrella aforesaid, were
gathered up, and with the bottomless trunk, put safely on
board. It was now hoped by the bystanders that fortune
had done her worst, at least for that occasion, on the ill-
fated girl; but no, a disaster more serious still was in store
for the hapless Abigail. The steamer was about to sail, and
our heroine was standing on one of the wings adjoining the
paddle-box, speaking to a friend on shine, when a sudden jerk
of the boat threw her, in imitation of her trunk, right into
the water. This most unfortunate of all the casualties which
had occurred changed the current of feeling from laughter to
alarm, and those who had been most amused at the former
mishaps were now the most active in rendering assistance when
life was at stake. Providentially, the poor girl was got out
of the water more frightened and wet than seriously injured,
and here, so far as is known, did her misfortunes for this day
terminate. The circumstances, as may be supposed, caused
no small amusement on board; and those who witnessed them
will not soon forget the scenes enacted by " the woman with
the trunk," which almost equal, in point of ludicrous effect,
the more famed adventures of the " man with the carpet-bag.
Glasgow Argus.
INCOME-TAX.—It is reported that the schedules
for extracting this grinding and tyrannous tax from suffering
trade, have been in the town some days. There is also a ru-
mour that Mr. Thomas Burbidge, (formerly town clerk) will
be the Chief Inquisitor for Leicester.—Leicestershire Mercury.
The General Steam Navigation Company's steam
packet Rainbow, Captain J. Fife, arrived yesterday from
Antwerp, with several families of distinction on board, among
whom were the Countess Ranfurly. The passage was performed
as usual by this ship in 16 hours.
Mr. Charles Kemble has engaged Walter Lacy for
light comedy, next season, at Covent-garden.
ADDRESSES TO THE QUEEN.—Meetings have been
held throughout the country fer the purpose of adopting Ad-
dresses to the Queen, on her Majesty's providential escape from
the hand of the assassin, which has called forth one unanimous
expression of loyalty and attachment to the person of our be-
loved Sovereign.
THE HAY HARVEST.—Haymaking is becoming
pretty general and the crops are good, although the drought of
the last fortnight has to some extent diminished them, and in
many parts of the country the want of rain is beginning to he
felt severely.
AWFUL VISITATION.—Yesterday morning, about 1
o'clock, Mr. Robert Wright, of the Harrow public-house,
Primrose. hill, Salisbury-square, Feet-street, suddenly expired
at his residence, under the folowing melancholy circum-
stances:—lt appears that yesterday Mr. Wright took an excur-
sion to Richmond, from whence he returned home at about
twelve o'clock last night, apparently in full health and cheer-
ful spirits, and having superintended the closing of the house,
he sat down and eat a very hearty supper; after which,
he discovered that the ale was " off, ' and after ex-
pressing his disapprobation to his ,rife of the circumstance,
went himself into the cellar for:the purpose of performing what
was requisite, but being absent a longer time than was necessary
he was called to, but no answer being returned, the waiter was
sent to the cellar, when the unfortunate man was discovered
lying upon his back and life quite extinct Medical aid was
procured with all possible dispatch, but without avail. The
deceased has left a wife but no family.
PAISLEY, JUNE S.—SINGULAR CASE OF SUICIDE.—
A Mr. Wilson, who kept a hat shop in High-street here, put a
period to his existence in the following extraordinary manner.
Being in embarrassed circumstances with regard to business,
a meeting of his creditors had been called, which took place on
Monday last, at which, as a matter of course, his attendance
was requisite. At some particular stage of the meeting he was
requested to retire to the door for a short time, and it seems
that the unfortunate man had walked thence straight to the
canal, and deliberately plunged himself in, near the West Re-
lief Church. About two hours afterwards the body was dis.
covered, and carried to his home. The amount of his debt,
it is reported, is scarcely 701., upon which he had offered a com-
pensation of 13s. in the pound.
The Hon. Miss Hamilton, who has been appointed
one of her Majesty's Maids of Honour in Waiting, vice the
Hon. Miss Cavendish, on the eve of mairiage with Lord Em-
lyn, is youngest daughter of Lady Charlotte Hamilton, and
sister to Capt. C. Baillie Hamilton, M.P. for Ailesbury, and
cousin to the Earl of Haddington, First Lord of the Admi-
ralty. The salary of Maid of Honour is 3001. per annum from
the Civil List.
GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—We are enabled to
give the most unqualified contradiction to a rumour prevalent
in this city for the, last two days, to the effect that a collision
had taken place between two trains on the above line, and that,
in consequence, a number of lives had been lost. The mail
train, Thursday night, was detained for some time at Slough,
owing to the immense number of passengers returning from
Ascot races, and shortly after leaving that station it ran into
some empty waggons, but no damage whatever occurred either
to the carriages, engine, or passengers.—litistol Mercury.
