CAT the splendid banquet which the East India
Company gave on Saturday se'nnight to the mem
bers Of the Embassy from Nepau, Lord Stanley ex-
pstiated on "the strength, wealth, and power
which Great Britain derived from the Company's
empire, and on "the large debt Of beneficial adj
ministration" which she owed TO India for having
supplanted the Hindoos in their native manufac-
lures. - Correspondence Of Journal Of Commerce
Lord STANLEY may well recognise a large
debt of beneficial administration as due from
Britain to India, for the destruction Of its man
ufactures Of cotton. The world has never seen
any parallel to the misery which has been in
flicted upon the poor Indians, as consequence
Of their policy. And now, those who have
wrought the injury are endeavoring to devise
methods by which they can escape the evils to
themselves, resulting from their having reduced
the wretched Hindoos to such condition that
they cannot grow Jaw cotton, in the soil where
1t is Indigenous, in sufficient quantity and of
such quality as to lessen materially the de-
pendence of Manchester on the vicissitudes
Of our climate for its supply. They think
it much that the East India company has
for years been expending money literally in
bounties and experiments, from which nothing
results but repeated failure for in destroying the
domestic manufacture they have condemned the
Hindoo to exhaust the whole value of his crop
in the cost of transportation, leaving not even
enough to remunerate labor that can be pur-
chased for two pence day. The effort is pre-
cisely like one to raise wheat in India under the
condition that il should be taken to England to
be ground, and the -four brought back TO feed
the growers. The result is that the Hindoos
are clothed, to great extent, in cotton grown
in the United States, and, as necessary con
sequence, their clothing is of the scantiest.
The debt Of beneficial administration which
India wants is precisely that which England
has no intention of paying. 1t is the re-estab-
ishment Of the cotton manufacture, not in the
rude household looms, by which the simple
natives once made garments for themselves,
and vast surplus for expectation, but with
the superior machinery by which modern in

ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA AT
HAIIEAX.

Telegraphic dispatches, received last night,
announce the arrival on Tuesday, at Halifax,
of the steamer America, with one weeks later
news from Europe.
Sir Robert Peel was killed on the 2sth June, by
being thrown from his horse
The growing crops Of grain throughout the
kingdom continued promising, though the harvest
may be later than the average of the season.
We have dates from Lisbon TO the 9th ut. Great
excitement prevailed there, in consequence Of the
arrival of an American squadron in the Tagus, to
enforce the claim of $4,000. Twenty one days
we're allowed by the American commander for a
reply. Fears were entertained of refusal The
Portuguese government have determined TO resist
the demand upon them.
The schleswig difficulty between Russia and
Denmark has been satisfactorily adjusted.
Speculation is rife in England as to the probable
effect the death of Sir Robert Peel will have in the
position Of parties. The general belief appears &c
be that the event will rather strengthen than
weaken the holds of the present ministry.
The ministry had suffered another defeat, by a
| majority OF %, on the Irish franchise bill.

vention has supplanted them. When market
is made for the raw cotton in India, a surplus
may again be raised for expectation, and Eng
land relieved from that dependence upon the
Union which she is SO anxious to shake off
There is no attempt TO conceal this anxiety,
and there is certainly good reason for its exist
ence; but il is altogether in contravention of
the promises which the free-traders of this
country held out To the cotton planters. If we
would only be content to be dependent for our
| fabrics, England was according TO their bill OF
arrangements, to rely upon us for the raw ma
| teral This was the understanding. and it is
| a manifest violation of its spirit for England to
| be plotting how to build up rival cotion-grow-
| ers in the far east. The men Of Manchester
indeed, entered into no such compact They
| would esteem it an insult TO the intelligence of
| the American planter to pretend that they
| would be his customer solely, moment longer
! than interest dictated.
But the free-traders, in the abundance of
their faith have been willing to buy forever
| from England, and to take it for granted that,
in sheer gratitude for our so doing, her manutac-
turers would continue to purchase raw ma
| teria even to their loss, and make no effort
| to get it cheaper elsewhere, or to increase the
| worlds supply, SO as TO deprive our planters of
the privilege of selling small crop for more
in the aggregate than they obtain for large
one. They ought not to bear it patiently when
| they see the traders of England openly acting
upon mere principles of trade, and in fragrant
disregard of that spirit of reciprocal generosity
in which they ought to iorego all notions of sor
did profit, in order to show themselves the men
that the tree-traders took them for, or at least
would have them taken for by others.

We, the delegates of the people of New Mexico,
in convention assembled, have the honor to
submit, for the consideration of the people, that
constitution which appears to us best for the moral
social and political welfare and we'll being of the
country.
The friends Of New Mexico have long desired
and ardently sought stable, uniform, equal and
just system Of laws, and administration OF justice;
and the means have taken to effect these OBJ
jccts are, in our opinion, the most udicious that
the present condition and circumstances of the
country admit Of adopting.
Slavery in New Mexico is naturally impractical
Bile, and can never, in reality, exist here; wherever
II has existed 1t has proved curse and a blight
to the State upon which it has been inficted-a
moral social, and political evil. The only manner
in which this question affects US is politically;
and grounds of this character, with its general
evil tendencies, we have unanimously agreed TO re-
ject tiff forever.
In all our councils, on this and every other sub
ject, We have steadily endeavored to keep in view
the real interests OF New Mexico, in which are
deeply involved our present sovereign and indie
pendent existence as a State, future pros
perty, and public and domestic felicity. These
high considerations, profoundly impressed on our
minds, induced each member Of the convention to
be less adhesive to his views of minor points
than might have been otherwise anticipated; and
hence this constitution is the offspring of cordial
amity, and of that mutual Difference and happy
spirit of concession which the peculiartics Of our
situations rendered indispensable.
That II will meet the full appreciation of every
citizen is scarcely To be looked for but that il is
liable to as few objections could reasonably have
been expected, we hope and believe. That It may
prove lasting benefit to the people, and secure
their freedom and tranquility, is our most ardent
prayer. JAMES IA. QUINN, President.
