"We derive some mitigation of oiir sorrow. from reflecting that the splendid virtues of the late Royal Grand Master of En- gUnd have not perished with his mortal body but will always «xist in the bright page of historv, animating, extending, and SUstaining the firm and comprehensive fabric of Masonry through- Out Ihe habitable globe. Whilst with pensive reflection on the instability of all human x Rreatness we contemplate his honoured remains in their hallowed resting place, we shall hear a still small voice," imparting a peaceful impulse to oar hearts, and counselling us to be faithful, united, and happy. We solemnly feel, that, as Masons, we shall best testify our dutiful reverence of the memory of our departed Prince and Be- nefactor, by an honest aud humble imitation of his personal and social attributes, which, as in the case of his royal predecessor In the temple of ancient days, raised him to an elevation above the grandeur of the lodge wherein they were exercised and S9. fired to him. in life, the admiration of the discerning world, and, In death, the meed of undying fame." The detachment of the 73d Regiment, stationed in ♦his town, marched hence yesterday for Cardiff, from which pl"ce another detachment of the same regiment arrived, and are to be stationed here. The officers are likewise exchanged, ^ith the exception of Mr. Lyon, who has joined the com* pany now at Swansea.

BRIDGEND.—The public will be glad to learn, that ",e«-e is now a probability of a new Townhall being erpcted t '.hi* place- Meetings have been held to Carry Ollt this "esiraMe object, and it is to be hoped no petty interests or •le jealousies will be allowed to mar the accomplishment 'his useful work. The site for the new building has not 'een definitively fixed upon, but in tfie opinion of many "e most proper spot for its erection wotild be the site at !!m 8.eiu occupied by the Leicester Honse, and opposite the « hall. There are obstacles, no doubt, in the way of its |>eing built there, but with a li'tle energy and eood manage, 'ent on the part of the Committee, they may be easiU- Oyercome. A building for the transaction of public business ''?ht to be in a central and public place, adjoining a good orivnghfare, and the situation pointed out offers all these •antages.

THE LATE TIRE.—IN accordancewitb a resoTutioh of the Town Council, a dinner was given the detachment of the 73d Regiment, stationed in this town, on Friday last, in acknowledgment of the important services rendered by them in subduing the late alarming fire on the Strand. The dinner, which was served up in a manner highly credit- able to Mr. David Evans, of the "Recruiting Officer." con- sisted of good roast-beef and ptum-pndding. The sergeant, on behalf of himsetfand the detachment, thanked the Cor- poration for the kindness and good feeling evinced by them in acknowledging the services of the military; and con- cluded by proposing the healths of the Mayor, Town Council, and inhabitants of Swansea. The Mayor briefly acknow- ledged the compliment—expressing his own satisfaction, as well as that of the inhabitants generally, at the conduct of the detachment during the late fire, and spoke in hish terms of the character which they had sustained during the time they had b«en stationed ill the town.—On Monday, the Mayor distributed amongst those persons who had assisted in extinguishing the fire, the sum of 20/ voted by the Cor- poration. The sum of 10;. was given each man who had been on the roof, and had mostly distinguished themselves, 5s. to those who worked most actively at the engines, and 2s. 6d. to others who made themselves useful.—We beg to draw the attention of onr readers, and particularly the members of the Town Conncit, to a letter, embodying useful hints for carrying into effect the establishment of a Fire Brigade, &c which we deem well worthy of perusal. DISCOVERY OF STOLEN PROPERTY.—A. few weeks back we announced that the shop of Mr. J. Williams, draper, Cottege-street.ofthis town, was entered by removing a pane of glass in the back window, and that a large quantity of drapery was carried away Wednesday, a considerable por- tion of the stolen property was found by some workmen in a quarry, near the Jews* burying-grnnnd, and was brought by them to town, and identified by Mr. Williams as his pro- perly. The police being on the watch, the goods must have been conveyed there by the burglars under the influence of fear, being apprehensive that the discovery of the pro- perty in their possession might lead to their conviction. Loss OF THE BRIG ELIZA, OF SWANSEA, CUBA TRADER. —A letter, bearing the Falmouth postmark, and dated May 8th, on board the steam-ship Avon, at sea, in longitude 16, 27 W., latitude 44, 11 N., brings intelligence of the entire loss of the above brig, which sailed from this port a few days ago. The letter, which is written by Mr. John Lilly, the master of the brig. states that, during the night of the 4th instant, when it blew a fresh breeze, rained, and was rather bazy. the took-out on the forecastle reported "a sail right a head." The mister immediately "put the helm hard a-starboard, and brought the ship to the wind," and then advanced to see the course of the ship, but ere he had reached the forecastle, the vessel, which afterwards proved to be the steam-ship Aron, struck against the brig with tremendous force, carrying away the nowsprit. and com- pletely forcing in the bows, and "ripping np rhe whole of the forecastle deek above and below." As it was then fonnd it wonldbe absolutely Impossible to keep the vessel above water for any length of time, the crew, consisting of thirteen persons, took to the boat, and succeeded in getting on board the Avon, which sailed tor Falmouth. The crew saved nothing from the Eliz«» not even their clothes, with the exception of those about them. The vessel, which was the property of persons in this town, is insured to the full amount.

ROUGHSEDGE AND SUMMERS'S SODA WATER.—R- alld S. have hitherto relied on the discernment of the public to dis- cover and appreciate the superior quality of the crated Water produced by their rtianufaolory, and they have scoroed to hue recourse to any tricks. In the present da, some persons con- sider it requisite to make use of puffs and quackerv, in order to extend the sale of their own productions, br detracting from the merits of rival establishments. R. and S. have such strong grounds for reiianceon the superiority of their own Soda Water and Lemonnde, founded on the recommendation of the most emi- nent of the Faotilty, on the results of the most searching chemical analyses, pnd the extensive and still incrensing demand for them by the public both at home and abroad, that they have hitherto treated the insinoations of the quftckerv alluded to with the con- tempt they deserve. But if these indirect insinuations are^still to be obtruded on the public, R. and S. feel themselves justified in offering those explanations that mav enable the public to judge for themselves. If R. and S. have placed the name of Schweppo upon their bottles, it was never to mislead the public 111110 the con- nexion wilh that firm, bat for the purpose of announcing a legiti- mate fact, and alwavs subordinate to their own. Without im- puting nndue oredit to the name of Scbweppe, they have simply stated that they cauie from "he honse ofSchweppe and Co.,— an undoubted fact, or doobtlesa it would have been denied. For five-and-twenty years, during the very period that the waters. sold by Scbweppe gave to that name all the celebrity it ever obtained, Mr. Sommers was the engineer and manufacturer of the waters sold by thxt house in London, Derby, and Bristol. It is many years since an* person, having the slightest connexion with the name or family of the late iHr. Scbweppe, has been counected *"h any house in the trade. In the year 1834, the proprietor of 1'? business oarried on under 'lie name of Schweppe and Co., ■old his interest to persons with whom R. and S. declined to re: main they preferred employing their industry and praotioal know- \vr,,n e8,nblisbing a business for their own mutual nrofit. nether the waters since manufactured by the present firm of Schweppe and Co. retain the quality which acquired for that honse all its celebrity, R. and S. deoline to «ive an opinion fiU lnJn8,'ce 'o themselves, they do, with the most perfect con- nuenoe and good faith, say that—highly as some manufacturers seem to esiihiate tbe bottles which brar their name (expensive an Item as bottles are), and difficult as it is to prevent retail trades- men from returning wrong onesi:—there is no bottle bearing any name other than their own, however celebrated, to which Rougb- sedpe and Summers would wish to add the reputation to be de- dfrtved from filling tbein with waters of their own manufact ure. Roughsedge and Sumiqers only-desire such patronage as may be reserved by the grated Watara produoed at their OWN vunu/or' tori, and sold under the labels of their Own nam*.

The plaintiff's messenger lost the cheque, which was picked np by a person who got it cashed in gold at the Swansea branch of the Glamorganshire BankingCo. (the cheque being drawn upon the Neath branch), and absconded with the money. The action had been brought to recover the amount from the defendant on the ground that the party who decamped with the money, had obtained it through the carelessness of the defendants bankers in caslrng a cheque drawn upon another bank. The verdict was then recorded for the de- fendant. Mr. Chilton now moved for It rule nisi to set aside the verdict, or for a new trial.

Davies and another.This was another action tried at our last Assizes, brought against the defendants, for an ille«al distraint upon plaintiff's goods.

The sune gentlemen who were in attendance upon thf tem- porary enquiry on Monday se'nnight, were, as we before observed would be the case, summoned on tbe present in- quisition. The jurors being sworn, the following depositions were ta.ken:— Mary Anne Woodman, a sister of deceased, said, that the re- sided with her father and lBotber.at. oottag., called tbe Green Friars, near to the Cardiff Raoe-ground that her deceased brother also lived with them he had been about three weeks there. His spirits were greatly depressed, and he had frequently shewn symptoms of considerable excitement, under an impres* sion that"lie woold suffer starvation. He was of a morose and sullen disposition, and sometimes refused to answer her when •he spoke ,to .him. He retired to bed, on Snnday night last, about nine o'clock, having first taken his supper with the family. I bade him a good night, as usaat. hot he was sulky, and did not reply-to me. He slept alone. I was not in any way apprehen- sive of him. I went; the next morning, tooall him down to break- falit-tilis was about ten o'clock, or a little after I wanted him to go to Cardiff, for a loaf of bread; I found his bedroom-door fastened, and after having knocked several times, and called. I forccd the door; I then saw him lyi^ff00 bis back, in bed I did not suspect that he was dead, when i nrhi went to bis door, but after having gone up to his bedside, I found him dead, and quite cold. I gave an alarm, and my father came immediately. I then ran for Mr. Wm. Davies, of the Wedal; he is the landlord of the cottage, his residence is about two hundred yards distance there- from. On my return, I found my mother in fits-she is nowise subject to them. Mr. Will. Davies, of the Wedal,slated, that he had known the deceased for years; hts wasno relation whatever. He had re- cently let the cottage, called the Green Friars, to the father of •he deceased he (witness) lived about twenty yards distant from •hat cottage deceased had come there to live with bis friends, about three weeks ago, and had manifested great depression of spirits j on manv occasions witnes, bad noticed him to gaze on the trees and hedges, in a most strange and vacant manner, for a consideraSle time, and if spoken to, he would turn his back, and shon him Witness considered him unsound in mind. Deceased had frequently complained of a pain in his head. By the Coroner :-Did 109 ever bear that the unfortunate de- ceased had attempted snicide before? Mr. Davie. Yes, I have heard it so staled.— [Tbe father and sister also here admitted that fact]. Hy the Coroner, to father and sisterDid you, at any period Pr'-or subsequent to tbat attempt, hear biui threaten such an act? Witnes-es:—No—never. Several of the jory, being residents of the town, said, the fact generally known, tbat a former attempt at self-destruction }!,ad ?9CUrred, while deceased was lodging with his friends at Cardiff, some few weeks since. Mr. Edward Woodman, the father of deceased, was next sworn, w :—I am now out of business, but I recently kept a public-house in Cardiff. My son, William, supports myself and amily we are totally dependent upon him; my deceased son wined a part of my family. I have been a resident at tbe Green rriars but a few weeks my son, William, pays the rent of that cottage, to Mr. Wm. Davies, of the Wedal. My deceased son's name was John be was in his 39th year he was apprenticed to a tailor, but did not follow his trade he never wholly maintained himself; be lately assisted my son, William, who is an agent for Jbe steain-pucket, at Cardiff. I have observed him, of late, to be depressed in bis spirits, and consider a great alteration of manners had taken place in him. He has been with me, I may say, almost ever since be was born; he was rather addicted to .drink. I have always been compelled to keep a home for him. His mtnd has been much affected of late, and on times he has become quite outrageous, running wild about the fields snd hedges, and occasionally talked nonsense. His disposition had been marked for mildness apd affection he had bad no quarrels either wi«h myself or his brothers, that I am aware of; We were a.' .Kl'id to him. The last time I mw deceased alive, was about nine • clock on Sunday night last, when lie went up stairs to bed, first having supper with the family I then wished him a good night, but he gave me no answer; at some times he would answer me. and at others he was mute. By the Coroner :-When did yon next see yonr deceased son, and where? Witness :—I Mw him next on the following morning, about ten o'clock, or thereabouts my daughter had gone to oal] him, to get up to breakfast, and to go to Cardiff; this was on her own accord I did not send ber. She then oame^screaming down, and ^ave the alarm, saving, "John is dead." Sbe was much frightened when sbe came into the kitchen to me, and I hastened up to my son's bedroom [ found him on his bank, in bed he had all bis clothes off, except bis drawers »nd nigiitjjown. I ob- served a silk handkerchief ronnd his neck i] was in a double- slip tie. but not a knot it was a sort of half tie—[here the wit- ness explained the preoixe manner]—the two ends hanging loose his hands were both straight hy his side, and his legs stretched out; I liaw blood over his face, and a little on the pillow the handkerchief was tight round the neck, and I slackened it; he was quite dead. On the arrival of Mr. Davies. of the Wedal, who came in consequence of my daughter's fetching him, I begged of him to go to Cardiff, to apprise my son William of the death. Mr. Stockdale attended with the jurors now present, on Monday evening last, from six to seven o clock, to view the de. ceased the body was then lying on the bed, precisely as I first discovered it. villi the exception of my having toosened the hand- kerchief; that enquiry was in conseqoence of the Coroner's ab- sence from home, but it was not fully gooe into. Mr. Edward Evans, surgeon, of Cardiff, next deposed, that a few weeks since he was sent for to attend deceased, in St. Mary. r-tr-et, Cardiff, in consequence of his (deceased) having made an attempt to bang himself with a slip-rope, tied to hill bedpost. On that occasion, a sister of the deceased heard him struggle, and running to his assistance, fortunately saved him. I spoke very kindly to him on the occasion, and he afterwards expressed his sorrow, and said he would never do the like again. I can- tioned his family to walch him carefully, as I felt assured, by his manners, that he would make another attempt, whenever an op- portunity might offer. On the present occasion, I was called upon by Mr. Superintendent Stockdale, who informed me that my examination of the body would be necessary, the parties who had formed an enquiry not having come to any decision. I accord- ingly went to the Green Friars, near the Cardiff Heath, on Tues- day last. I found deceased on his back, as described bv the former witnesses; I examined the body, and found a deep im- pression, occasioned bJ a handkerchief having been tied round his neck the coontenance was of a turgid appearance, and from other symptotM, I am satisfied be died of strangulation; the handkerchief beine tied round the neck, as described, was suffi- cient to cause death. Verdict, Found strangled, occasioned by a handkerchief tied round the neck by deceased himself, wbtte in < ttate of tempo. rary insanity."
ITHE ALLEGED CASE or POISONING…
I THE ALLEGED CASE or POISONING AT LALESTON. The farther examination of witnesses in the above case, took place at the Union House, near Bridgend, on Friday last, having been adjourned from the preceding Friday. The Magistrates on the bench were the Rev. H. L. Blosse, Rev. John Harding, and Rev. Robert Knight, Richard Franklen, and M. P. Traherne, Esqrs. There was very little additional light thrown upon the subject. Some of the witnesses, in whose power it was to give the most material evidence, appeared very reluctant to answer many of the questions put to them by the Magistrates, and seemed to do all in their power to shield the prisoners. There was also a great rieal of prevari- cation in the evidence—that given on Friday differing ma- terially from that given on former occasions. Ann Thomas, a servant to Mr. Howell, the deceased, whose former examination was given in our last week's paper, was the first witness examined It will be remembered that this wit- ness stated at the preceding examination, that she took about an egg-cup ful of the beer, and that she got extremely ill-so much so as to be rendered unable to attend upon her late master, and that she retired to bed on Friday evening, and did not leave it until the following Monday. She admitted that to have been the case, hut, it aopears, that on her first examination, the depositions of which were read to her, she had positively denied having tasted the beer. The Magis- trates put several questions to her relating to the effect pro- duced upon her by the beer, and also questioned her as to the part taken by the female prisoner in the administration of her late brother's affairs. The witness stated that the beer pro- duced vomiting, caused her to throw up blood, and produced heat in the throat, &c., and reluctantly admitted that, after her master's death, the prisoner, Mrs Thomas, took upon her- self the management of the household affairs, gave orders, &c., &c.; but the prevarication, reluctance, and duplicity with which she gave her evidence, justly called forth the severe censure of the Magistrates. Mary Morgan, the mother of John Morgan, the boy whom Mr. Howell sent for the beer, was next examined. It will be recollected that in giving his evidence on the preceding Friday, the boy said that the female prisoner and his mother threatened to beat him in case he said that the jar was out of his hand when at Mrs. Thomas's house, and that they re- quested him to withhold various other important particulars. The mother positively denied ever threatening her son. The Magistrates then requested her to desire the boy to tell all he knew about the affair, which she did. They also told her, that if what the boy said was true, she would be liable to be committed as an accessory to Mr. Howell's death. The next witness was John Jones, of the Farmer' Arms, Cefn Cribbwr—who deposed that be called at the late Mr. Howell's house about twelve o'clock on the Saturday the latter died, when he sav the female prisoner, Gwenny the Mill, and Jane Harry, there. The prisoner offered him something to eat, which he declined, as he had just eaten. Witness said nothing about having something to drink. The prisoner said that she had no beer in the house, but expected a barrel to come to the house. Witness denied having said I will have nothing to eat, but will drink a glass of beer if you have got it." The witness here made a kind of appeal to to the Magistrates, on behalf of the prisoners, which rather seemed to surprise them. He said that it was reported Mr. Howell had poison in his house, for the purpose of destroying rats, &c., which might have accidentally got into the jar, and expressed a hope that the Magistrates would think of that, as the prisoners had few friends to take their part. On being questioned as to Mr. Howell keeping poison, it appeared wit- ness did not know such to be the fact, but had only heard it as a mere flying report. The boy John Morgan was next examined. His evidence differed in several instances from his former statements. He stated in his former examination, that when in Mrs. Thomas's (the prisoner's) house, he saw her husband putting a small white paper packet in his waistcoat pocket, and that in returning with the beer, he saw the prisoner Edw.Thomas in a field, but did not speak to him, nor had any other communication with him. In this examination he said, that it was in his trousers pocket Edw. Thomas placed the packet, and that in returning home with the beer, he met Edw. Thomas, who desired him to go after Mr. Howell's colts. Witness left the jar on the road by the prisoner, and ran after the colts, during which be lost sight of the jar for a considerable time. When he re. turned, the prisoner Podw. Thomas, who was at that time about six yards from the jar, advanced, took hold of the jar, and uncorked it, at the same time saying, let me see bow much beer you have got." The boy, when asked by the Magistrates to state his reasons for not making those statements at former examinations, said he did not make them because the prisoner (Mrs. Thomas) had charged him not to do so, and had given him a penny. His mother was asleep at the time. Both prisoners contradicted the boy—Mrs. Thomas affirm- ing that she had not been at his mother's house for a consider- able time. The boy's sister confirmed her brother's evidence, respect- ing his violent illness dnriog the whole night, after having tasted the beer. Wittiam David, Gwenllian David, and Mrs. Lloyd, of the Star, Laieston, were examined, but nothing material was elicited. The evidence of Mrs. Lloyd went to prove that the female prisoner called at witness's honse about nine o'clock on the night previous to Mr. Howell's death, to buy some gin and beer, and sent for it about two o'clock on the fallowing morning as detailed in the servant boy's evidence given in last week's paper. Mr. Howell bad told witness that he intended marrying Mrs. Lewis. She had not heard the female prisoner making any observations about the pro- posed marriage. She knew that the prisoner had all the property of the late Mr. Griffiths, the surgeon, who was her uncle, and lived in his house after bis death. She was at the sale of his effects, bat did not remember any portion of his drugs being sold. Mrs. Lewis and her danghter were again examined, but aridednothing material to their former evidence. The for* mer stated. fliat the late Mr. Howell had intended to be married t6 her. After some further questioning of the boy, John Morgan, the inquest was adjonmed to Friday (to-day), when Mr. Hefepath, who, it will be remembered, has taken the liver of Jane Hlny to analyKe, will state the result. Other evi. dence will be adduced, vrbich, it is conjectured, will throw additional liebt on litis melancholy affair. Air. Rhys Jenkins, solicitor, Bridgend, attended on behalf of the prisoners to watch the examination. Twenty Yeats' Loss of Hair, and wonderful Restoration. Chnrch-street, Whitby.

This is no other than a limekiln, which is situate within 60 yards of the principal street of the town, and which everv evening, between seven and eight o'clock (when it is made up for the night), begins to pour forth its pernicious, and at times almost suffocating, volumes of smoke over the greater part of the town, to the great detriment of the respirati g organs of its in- abitants indeed, so bad is it when the wind blows from the north and east, that oar townsfolk are often compelled to forego le evening walk, whioh is so necessary to the preservation of lea tu a ter the day's confinement, and are obliged to remain in doors, vainly bewailing this intolerable nuisance.

.. THE LATE FIRE.'
THE LATE FIRE. To the EDITOR of The CAMBRIAN. SIR,-Snpposiog that the Town Council are really de. sirous of placing our arrangements for the prevention and extinc- tion of fires upon an efficient footing, I take this opportunity of laying before them a few suggestions, the result of an attendance at suudry fires which have taken place here and elsewhere. It is admitted, that we are woefully deficient in engines. In England, every parish has one or two, distinct from those belong- ing to the Insurance Companies, or private persons. Some controul (before it be too late) should be exercised over the very large quantities of Gunpowder brought to this port, and carelessly lodged all over the town-it might be easily effected by an arrangement with the Customs and Police. A list of all the Fire-engines in the neighbourbood should be conspicuously placed in the Police-station, that their assistance might be obtained when necessary. ah Escape-ladder, for bedrooms or upper parts or bouses^is teiuired. 5 A leatber tube, with copper directing-pipe, or noatle, should bte< accurately fitted to the mains of the Water Company this would be equal to a powerful engine, and would often prove useful where an engine could not be brought into play. Two or three dozen town fire-buckets are required. A similar number of grooved pieces of wood are necessary for resting the hose upon, when requiring support; for want of them, the supply of water is contracted, and no unnecessary strain put on the pipes and engine. A rope should be attached to the bell over the barracks, to be used as a fire alarm. Now, Mr. Editor, supposing the foregoing, and any other necessary npparutns, to be provided, I will proceed to the efficient working of it; and perhaps it may be as well to state the present or mode :-A fire occurb-all is confiwion and hurly-burly; the police and military are called out, and the townsfolk crowd to the scene; these, by their well-intended, bat too often ill-directed efforts, and variety of opinions, cause great obstruction at Ihe most important juncture—the commencement. At length, the ar- rangements, as far as they go, are brought into operation, and we will suppose the fire to have died, or to have been subdued • the Town Council and the Fire-offices interested meet, and vote thanks and sums of money. Here, alas! begins another fray- confusion worse confounded;" for the appropriation of the money causes jealousies and bickerings, the impudent and idle too often taking away the reward intended for the modest and nard-working; with all the care that can be exercised, it is next to impossible to prevent this difficulty, with the present disorganized power. Willi great diffidence, I wourd therefore suggest a plan to do away with these objections, and form an efficient organized Fiie Brig,rae. the cost of which should not exceed the donations spent in the present most unsatisfactory way. The Police should be kept strictly to their own peculiar duties. The Military should form guards, and assist, if necessary, in working the engine, &c. Oae hundred active intelligent men should be chosen from trades most suited, as masons,, carpenters, plumbers, &c., and formed into a Fire Brigade, to whom should be entrusted the whole business in question, and who should be well paid, according to a fixed scale, for their time and services when called out. and a code of laws or instructions drawn up, giv«n to each, and strictly acted upon they should meet at least four times a-year, answer to a muster-roll, and exercise the entire apparatus, each man to provide himself a uniform, scull-cap, and coat This being done, I would place the entire controul in the bands of a Chief, who should be selected, not only for his coolness and knowledge, but also for his capabilities of commanding men and machinery.

t pressed. No timely reproofs followed where these 1 t excesses have unfortunately happened, as at Istaliff., or on the march from Gandamuck. And now, even oar allies are to sustain injury from this man's perfidy. What sort of apology they who placed Lord Ellen- borough in the situation he has defiled, may think fit to offer to the conntry, we know not. Human ingenuity wiay effect much, we well know, and that some of our Parliamentary orators are endowed with a great deal of that most unenviable kind of ingenuity, which con- sists in making" the worse appear the better cause," their past achievements leave us no ground for doubt- Ing. These men have displayed their powers of special pleading in no ordinary manner already in the defence of the Governor-General of India The dedication of a temple to a heathen deity, by the representative of 'he Queen of England, and the Head of the Church of England and Ireland and the contumely which by the same act was cast upon an important and most susceptible section of our Indian population, were proved (?) a short time since neither idolatrous nor impolitic. But the benevolent efforts of the Govern- Went, it seems, are not yet to be relaxed. Lord Ellen- horough is a client who claims large assistance from his patrons. He has been purged of the crime of im- piety by their religious exertions. He now comes "pon them for additional aid. In the present instance he has been guilty of offences, we do sincerely believe, which render him both morally and legally amenable to the most ample penalties which are ever inflicted | upon a delinquent public servant. The Governor- General of India has waged war with an independent State—he has conquered it, and has annexed it to the British territory. In doing this. we unhesitatingly assert, he has very extensively exceeded his authority, and has actually acted in contravention of precise di- rections, which, by Parliamentary sanction, have been compiled for the guidance of all Governor-Generals of India. We demand of Parliament, whether these di- rections are to be obeyed by the public servants of the Crown, or whether their violation is to be deemed no offence, and to be visited with no signal evidence of displeasure. The country, we are sure, will require all answer to this demand; and probably before we go to press, some decisive steps may have been taken to produce one.— From China, no particular news have heen received. Affairs are prospering under Sir H. Pottinger'a superintendence.
