IMPORTS-Though the principal features that have been noticed lately as affecting our import trade still continue in a measure to exercise their influence, we are encouraged to think that such are becoming daily less, and the more so as the accommodations are more ready attainable. Taking into consideration the small stock on hand, and comparing our present quotations to that of last year this month, we feel assured that at the close of the year our cotton market will improve and better prices be obtained. The following is a statement of imports, deliveries, and stock, for the month ending the 20th inst.: Delivered. Stock. Stock in 1846. Imported. bales.

THE new Governor-General of India, the Earl of DALHOUSIE, Will, ere long, proceed to the country in which he is destined, we trust, to exercise authority with advantage, alike to his own reputation, to the people committed to his care, and to the nation which he will represent. On Thurs What the noble Earl will say on the occasion to which we have referred we cannot pretend to predict; but we think that we may safely venture to point out certain things which he will not say. From the modesty and simplicity which have heretofore marked his public appearance, we may be sure that he will not parade himself as the great man who is to regenerate India, and the only man whose pretences to govern that country are fit to be entertained. He will make no swaggering professions, nor indulge in any attempt to forestal a reputation by false pretences. We think highly of the Earl of DALHOUSIE; and we are persuaded that his performances will far exceed his promises. He will not announce himself as the apostle of peace, and fulfil the mission that he has thus claimed by entering on a course of unprincipled aggression and reckless conquest. If it should become necessary to draw the sword, he will draw it; but his views, we doubt not, are honourably and sincerely pacific. We anticipate a bright career for him in India,-not, indeed, a career of glittering conquest, but one in which the resources of the country shall be evolved so as to increase its pros perity to the greatest practicable extent, and the happiness of all classes of the people be promoted by all the means at the disposal of a powerful, vigilant, and righteous govern ment. THE Country, as yet, shews no symptoms of returning prosperity, but still staggers and reels under the effects of the fearful blows which it has received. It is surely surprising that, after so long experience of the evils, which, instead of diminishing, seem thickening around us, those to whom the reins of government are entrusted should think it fitting to fold their arms, and wait in silent tranquillity till things right themselves. We should be sorry to stimulate undue fear at a time when confidence is our chief want; but we are convinced that things will not right themselves unless some aid be extended to the commercial world. The nation, indeed, during the last war, passed through diffculties greater than those which we at present encounter; but the let-alone policy was not then in the ascendant. Without overrating the statesmanship of PITT-without regarding even his financial policy as unexceptionable, this praise he amply merits-that whenever a crushing stroke descended on the vessel of the State (and many such befel it during his administration) he bestirred himself vigorously, and for the most part successfully, to repair the damage sustained, and to avert the additional mischief that might be apprehended. He did not look on with Oriental apathy, and shelter his inactivity under the plea that nothing could be done. He might not always do that which was absolutely best, but something he did, and thus shewed that, in his opinion, the first minister of the country was something more than a puppet, placed in an elevated position to enunciate general principles in reply to representations of practical evils. We would hope that this system is coming to a close. If asked what is to be done, our answer is, any thing rather than suffer bankruptcy to overtake all who have property, and the depth of physical suffering to overwhelm the masses who have none. We are no advocates for experimental legislation; but now scarcely any experiment could be deemed rash, because it is hardly within the range of probability that it should make our condition worse. When the patient is at the point of death it is no time to forbid us to use remedies because they have not the sanction of the college. If there be a chance of saving life, we ought to avail ourselves of it. When an army is surrounded, it will be to little purpose to deliver solemn lectures exposing the bad generalship which has brought them into this situation. They must cut their way out, or perish. Let something decisive, if it be not quite regular, be done to relieve the country; if its effect be good, we will not quarrel with it for the want of a philosophical certificate. When the patient is out of danger, you shall be as regular and as pedantic as you please. When the army is relieved, you shall preach to your heart's content. And when the springs of national prosperity are again in active motion, we will listen to your political economy. But neither patients, soldiers, nor merchants can subsist on words and forms and dogmas. How strange is it in these days, when Government interferes in every thing, that any difficulty should be made as to putting its hand to revive commercial credit! Formerly, even in the memory of the present generation, the functions of Government were restricted to objects purely national-to affairs political, military, naval, judicial, and financial. Now Government meets us at every turn; it watches our streets, and will shortly undertake to sweep them. Government takes care, after its own fashion, of our poor, and anxiouly measures out their allotted portions of skilly: we cannot educate our children without Government having a finger in the matter, and we need not despair of seeing the day when Government surveillance shall be as perfectly organised here as in France, Austria, or Prussia. Yet, while it is held proper for Government to enter into every minuteness of petty detail it cannot, it seems, do anything to save the great inLerests of the country from being annihilated. The machine of Government in these days is fit only for performing the pettiest operations. Anything beyond these is altogether beyond the limit of its power. It has been said of the trunk of the elephant, that it can tear up an oak by the roots, or pick up a pin. Not so our Government. It is, it seems, a mere fribble; it can pick up the pin; but for any service of strength it is utterly powerless. The distaff, not the mace, is its proper emblem. If the great statesmen who wielded the power of England at different periods, from the time of ELIZABETH to that of GEORGE the THIRD, could look upon the country now, what would they say of the statesmanship of the day? Ir always gives us pain to find English judges in any part of the world forgetting in any degree their high position and compromising the dignity of the office which they bear. This remark is called forth by some late proceedings of the Bench of the Supreme Court at Bombay, in which the acting Chief Justice (the only judge at present in the Court) after passing a sentence of extraordinary leniency upon a criminal convicted of manslaughter, entered into a most unseemly controversy with a newspaper in which some animadversions on his conduct had appeared. The case which gave rise to the dispute for such, in truth, it has become-was this. A native named BooLOOK was indicted for the murder of his sister-in-law by beating her with his fists. The beating was distinctly proved, and on the day after it was inflicted, the woman died. The Judge on the trial (Sir THOMAS ERSKINE PERRY) appears to have regarded the case as one of murder. The jury took a different view and returned a verdict of manslaughter; thereupon Sir THOMAS PERRY Sentenced the convicted man to one month's imprisonment! The editor of the Bombay Times very naturally, and very justly, considered this a very inade quate punishment for so serious a crime-which, if not murder, was at least a very aggravated case of manslaughter, and expressed his opinion with the honest warmth which the sentence was calculated to excite. This nettled the Judge by whom it had been passed, and he relieved himself by delivering from the bench a tirade against the paper which had disturbed his self-complacency. In the course which he took, as above narrated, we cannot but think that the learned Judge committed two errors: he exercised very unwisely the discretion entrusted to him, as to the punishment of manslaughter, by passing a ridiculously inadequate sentence; and he sadly lowered himself in the public eye by the manifestations of irritated feeling which he suffered to escape him in replying to the journalist whom he accused of improperly attacking him. Our first position will require no proof. When a woman has been beaten to death by a man who had gone, as BooLook did, some distance for the purpose of performing the operation, there could, we should have thought, had not Sir THOMAS PERRY proved the contrary, have been only one opinion as to the degree of the criminal's guilt; and the heaviest punishment which it was in the power of the Court to inflict, might reasonably have been anticipated. The inexplicable leniency exercised is the more remarkable, as Sir THOMAS PERRY was pre pared to receive from the jury a verdict of wilful murder; and in his speech against the Bombay Times, he actually intimates that their failing to return such a verdict might be attributable to a "morbid sensibility." Such a feeling is, undoubtedly, as the learned Judge observes, "to be deprecated;" but, morbidly sensitive as they were, the jury had put it in his power to vindicate the majesty of justice, by inflicting a very severe sen tence. He chose, however, to pass one fitting enough for a case wherein one drunken man had given another a bloody nose in a street-row, but utterly unsuited to the fearful crime before him. His excuse is altogether one of the most singular we ever met with. He says, the evidence of some witnesses greatly exaggerated the facts, which may readily be believed. Native witnesses are, for the most part, little regardful of truth, and were it not that they are scarcely more careful to secure verisimilitude in their fabrications, the amount of mischief resulting from their want of principle would be enormous and overwhelming. It may be admitted then readily that the witnesses, as usual, exaggerated and misrepresented; yet, as according to Sir THOMAS PERRY, when the false colouring was dispelled by the acuteness of the Court and the prisoner's counsel, there was still evidence enough to justify a verdict of murder, we are at a loss to know upon what principle he passed a sentence so far inferior in severity to that which he might have passed, and so absurdly disproportioned to the offence. He says that the presence of malice having been negatived by the verdict of the jury, there remained only ". a very ordinary case of beating, such as might happen in any Hindoo house any day in the year!" Is it then an “ordinary case” at Bombay for women to be beaten to death? Do such things occur so commonly that they may be looked for "on any day in the year?" If so, this, in our judgment, is an additional reason for administering the law with wholesome severity, in order that such atrocities may be checked, and, at all events, be rendered less frequent, if not entirely suppressed. But however this may be, the state of facts, after all the explanation given, remains thus: -Sir THOMAS PERRY thought the crime committed by BOOLOOK murder, and we suppose he would have been prepared to pass the sentence due to murder had the jury agreed with him. They did not agree with him, and on their disagreement becoming apparent, he passed, not the severest sentence which he could pass on a crime short of murder, but almost the mildest which he could pass upon a man convicted of manslaughter. Let Sir THOMAS PERRY vindicate the consistency of his conduct if he can. We are not disposed to defend the conduct of the jury, who, we fear, may have fallen into the fatal error sometimes committed by juries at home, of forgetting that they are sworn to return a verdict according to the evidence before them, and that the wisdom or justice of the law in the infliction of punishment is, so long as they are jurors, no business of theirs. At the same time, any we must protest against being understood to concur in the opinion of the editor of the Bombay Times, who acknowledges that he thinks lightly of juries, and would be ready to dispense with them except in regard to political offences. We, on the contrary, would sedulously preserve "Trial by Jury," in all cases where such a mode of inquiry is applicable; and we would ask our excellent contemporary how long he thinks we should retain juries for the trial of political offences after they were set aside in all other matters? Sir THOMAS PERRY seems to be more jealous of juries than his ancestry and early connections would lead us to expect. He is very earnest in asserting that it is no part of the duty of the jury "to determine the nature of the crime,"- -as if it were possible for them to deliver verdict which the Court would receive without determining the nature of the crime. Then, MANSFIELD himself, if he were living, could not more zealously maintain that it is the duty of the jury to receive the law from the Bench. We thought the right of juries in all cases to return a general verdict was now fully established, and we are quite certain that neither the father of Sir THOMAS ERSKINE PERRY, so long and so honourably connected with political literature, nor the distinguished lawyer whose name he bears, would have questioned this right for a moment. The jury have nothing to do with the punishment awarded by law to any particular crime, but they have a right to consider, and it is their duty to consider, whether or not the facts proved before them were accompanied by those circumstances which bring them within the legal definition of murder or any other crime. The jury, in the case of BOOLOOK, may have abused their power-we fear they did, but their lawful possession of the power to find the prisoner guilty either of murder or of manslaughter, or to acquit him altogether, cannot be doubted. If the jury are to take the law from the Bench in case of murder, why not in case of libel? If where a judge says, "This case, if the facts are proved to your satisfaction, is one of murder," the jury must, if they believe the witnesses, return a verdict of murder, why, when the judge says "This publication is a libel," are they not equally bound to find the accused guilty of writing or publishing a libel, if the facts of writing or publishing be distinctly proved? The liberty of the press will be in a perilous condition, if the doctrine of Sir THOMAS PERRY be ever generally received. ours. In illustration of our second position-that the Chief Justice at Bombay lowered himself by his snappish reply to a newspaper article-our remarks will be very few. We shall certainly not be suspected of disparaging the newspaper press, nor of ascribing to the judicial seat any undue elevation; but we really should be greatly surprised to find Lord DENMAN replying from the bench to any article of Police magistrates sometimes notice newspaper articles in which their conduct is animadverted upon-and if they have a good defence, we think they are right; but there is a wide distance between Worship-street, graced though it be by the presence of worshipful magistrates, and Westminster Hall or the Supreme Court of Bombay. It was in bad taste for Sir THOMAS PERRY to notice at all the article that raised his ire, and it was in still worse to notice it in the manner in which he indulged-declaring that "the paragraph he was alluding to was exaggerated and false from beginning to end," and intimating that the editor had "committed a gross breach of duty to" his "subscribers-and a gross breach of the law, for it doubtless amounted to a contempt of court." He stated, indeed, that his remarks were made "without passion,"'-an assertion which must remind every one of Sir Anthony Absolute, when under the influence of violent excitement, inquiring of his son why he is in a passion?-what is the use of flying out so? and why the young gentleman cannot be cool and calm, like himself. Sir THOMAS PERRY, in words, gives a very sufficient extent to the liberty of the press. He concedes to its conductors the privilege of giving any opinions they please on the judgments of Courts and the conduct of judges. "If," he says, "they thought that the judge were stupid, or corrupt, or ignorant, they had a right to say so, and no one had a right to complain, even though their opinions might be totally erroneous." This is the general doctrine, and it is indeed liberal enough. Now for its particular application. The editor of a Bombay paper animadverts on a single instance of the conduct of a Judge, he does not call him "stupid, or corrupt, or ignorant," he does his conviction that thirty days' imprisonment was a very not indulge in condemnatory epithets, he simply expresses inadequate visitation for a crime barely short of murder,—if, indeed, it fell short of it at all,-when down comes the Judge with a thundering philippic, accusing the writer of exaggeration and falsehood, impugning even his honesty, and talking of breach of the law and contempt of Court. Really such an exhibition is very lamentable ! MISCELLANEOUS. MR.
