      Scepticism o ? Mohamkkd . — His own . sagacity may hare led him to perceive the defects of the Manommedan religion ; but it is more than probable , that without the connsel and example of these snen , { foreigners ) Ms policy would have led to his iSapoang himself on hii people for a sincere believer ia their faith ; and he would have been & strict observer of the outward rites and forms of hi 3 religion , for that reason alone . Aa it is , he makes no pretentions to devotion . On two occasions recently , when I have had interviews with him , in company with Sir Moses ilontefiore , at the Magreb or evening hour of prayer , all the so ' . dier 3 , officers , servants , and attendants of the palace , were assembled at their devotion in the large antechamber leading into hi 3 reception-room , with all the pomp and state of Oriental devotion- The devout Mussolmen were

      ranged in rows in front of the Imam , and a person duly appointed to perform the service chanted certain passages of the Koran and forms of prayers in a foil sonorous voice , that echoed through the spacious rooms of the palaae . The various prostrations of those assembled , their simultaneous movements and accents , and the deep solemnity of the look and mancer of every individual encased in praye . r , had a Tery touching effect : but in ibe midst of aH this solemnity , on one occasion the Pasha made his appearance from hi * own apartment , walked across the tm . ll , took no notice whatever of those assembled at prayer , bni seeing Sir Moses Montefiore &cd myself aad two other gentlemen standing in a corner , he said , in a loud , good-humoured tone , beckoning with his hand , "Gael , guel" ( Come iff , come in ;) * ad we had to follow him into his grand saloon , to the manifest disturbance of all those employed in payer . —Dr .

A day or two previous to the tenth , the Court journals gave us &n account of an express despatched to Windsor to bring Tippoo Saib's tiger , . with its golden tongve and ruby eye * , and the jewelled peacock of Um Great Mogul , to be present at the ceremony -. we trust not as emblems of the future character of the Ulvstnoni Print *** . It does not clearly appear what place was assigned to these appropriate ornaments ; but care hai been taken to inform the public that" the water ia the foat > and wherewith the royal child was christened came from the river Jordan , having been sent to her

      Majesty as a present for this especial purpose .

      - ^ WHIG ECONOMY . Lord Keane has been a fortunate man . His great exploit in India was the capture of a very strong place with a very weak door , and be will doubtless have the same good luck of finding a very weak door to the guard-house of the public treasury . Lord Keane did all that he had to do la India well : his campaign was abort and successful , and he seems to have bees sot displeased to leave off with the success he had achieved , and to hasten home for his rewards . The question is , not whether Lord Keanu has rendered service , but ¦ whether the service he has rendered is such aa to create a claim both to a title and two thousand a year for three lives , and this at a time when Governaent thinks it right to practise a most minute economy .

      A Treasury order was lately issued to the public fffices , directing that old ink-bottles and almanack frames should be saved , and returned by a cart , which would call for them , that they might be used again , and ths . t notes should be written on half-sheets of paper . This was striking evidence of a rigorous ipirit of economy . " Take care of the pence , " sayi old Richard , " and the pounds will take care of themselves ; " and when we saw the case of the old ink-bottles and almanack frames , it seemed to us that the public purte should hardly want guardians , so well able should it be to take cars of itself , according to the reasoning of the maxim . But lo ! £ 2 , 000 a year for three lives is asked for the reward of Lord Keace ' s campaign . ' We wish some one would calculate the number of

      • Id ink-bottles and almanack frames in Lord Keane . Let us see how much parsimony is necessary to make up for so much profusion . Let us see to What extremities we must be miserably penny-wise in order to be able to be magnificently pound-foolish . Let us have the computation of the value in old ink-bottles or almanack frames granted to three lives , in consideration of Lord Keane's successes . —Esamintr ,

      THE LETTER OF MR . J . G . MARSHALL TO EARL F 1 TZWILLIAM . The sensible letter of Earl Fitxwilliatn , assigning the reasons why his Lordship refused to attend the recent Chartist conference at Leeds , has called forth a long aad rambling reply from Mr . J . G . Marshall , inserted in Friday ' s Times , in which , among other grave assumptions , he ventures to hazard the following : —First , that the Chartists , apart from the millions who do not coincide with them , constitute " the people ; " secondly , that the Reformed Parliament does not fairly represent the wants and wishes of the said people ; thirdly , that in Norway , Switzerland , and the United States , where the Government and the populace are alleged to be in perfect harmony , the latter are " universally

      happy , evjdjwg the whole frmt * of their Indxntrj la » high state of physical well-being , distinguished by intellectual and moral cultnre ,- " and lastly , tbat as the Lords and Commons are clearly responsible f ^ r those dispensations of Providence whereby individuals and classes are of tea visited with adversity , so , if the People's Charter were once made law , idle fellows would immediately he « ome industrious , bad workmen would earn as large vrages as good ones , no overstocked markets would ocsasion a decrease of employment , no improvidence or ill-health would produce distres * in labouring families , and , to crown all , the Ballot would be a synonrme for bliss .

      Now , of course , these dogmas are no otherwise deserving of notice thnn » s showing the rank and heartless nonsense with which ignorant multitudes are fortified in their wild impracticable theories . That a number ef simple-minded workmen , deluded by their more pragmatical and palavering shopmatis , should occasionally tumble up las they themselves ay ) to have a bit of jaw about politics or something else , it nothing wonderful certainly . Time out of mind , there have been hosts of apron'd statesmen—the great lights and big-wigs of the factory—who have always derived a sufficient motive for the invention of d ^ ievances , from the facilities thereby afforded for fleecing their dupes , under pretence of gathering mbscriptions to obtain redress . But , that master manufacturers in the station

      of Mr . Marshall , having nothing in common with such demagogue sharpers as these , should unreflectingly commit themselves to the cruel responsibility « f stimulating their confiding inferiors to clamour for a political Utopia which , even were it realizable , would involve infinitely worse evils ihan now exist , does , we confess , astonish ub not a little . It is evident from that individual ' s letter , that he is ignorant , profoundly ignorant , not only of historical experience , but of the elementary principles of human society . Nor , supposing his sentiments to be a fair specimen of those of hia fellow Liberals throughout the country , could there be a stronger reason with thinking men for combining in all directions to extinguish a democratic factio » which seeks to exalt itself upon the ruins of our social fabric .

      Just imagine for a moment that their extravagant demands wtre worthy of serious deliberation . Overlooking those disagreements among themselves whereby , while utar ' . y unanimous in advocating an extension of the franchise , one section insists on Universal Suffrage , and another positively refuses to go bo far , let us concetie , for mere argument ' s sake , either that all householders paying taxes , or that all lada having attained majority , ought to possess the right of voting for members of Parliament . Two consequences , vre submit , are perfectly demonstrable : —first , that this new reform would by no means allay the clamour foT a yet farther extension of electoral righti ; and secondly , if it did allay that clamour , it would inevitably disappoint expectation as regards the well-being or happiness of the lower orders .

      In tho first place , make a hypothetical trial of Household Suffrage . Under this arrangement all the married workmen who occupy an independent dwelling of their own , no matter how small the rent , wou'd have a vote for a Parliamentary representative . We are entitled to assume , therefore , though there are other elements which might materially disturb this conclusion , that they would be content . But what should we do with the myriids of bachelor journeymen , who , in the undoubted exercise of British freedom , might think fit to remain in lodjjings ? Why , they would be utterly impatient of the invidious distinction thus established between themselves and a portion of their shopmafces . They would constitute , accordingly , a new class of grievance-mongers ; they would become violent in tbeir outcry for equal rights ; in a word , a further extension of the franchise would be declared to be absolutely necessary .

      Pass at ones , then , to Universal Suffrage . Confine the privilege , at first , to males and majors . All the footmen , grooms , coachmen , and out-d « or servants of the aristocracy—all the clerks , warehousemen , aad porters of the merchants—all the shopmen , messengers , and dependents of the tradespeople—all the journeymen , labourers , and ' prentices throughout the kingdom —all the fore-mast mariaert in merchant service—all the abie-bodied aailors in her Haj ^ aty ' t ftftet— ail the privates in the army and nusrine *—all the officers in the excise , eustoms , and dock-yards—all the servants of railway , insurance , aad joint-stock companies all these , as a matter of course , must be put in possession

      of the nnivertal franchise . Well , what the better would they be of this ? ani what the beHer would the country be ? On the supposition that such an enlargement of the Suffrage were a « t * ally effected , any importance now attached to an individual vote would be completely swamped in the umoerutUty of the privilege . What everybody could give , nobody would care for . In * nch circumstances , a voter would be reduced to the moii contemptible unit in existence . If it be true that a few pounds are sometimes given to bribe him at present , the difference under Universal Suffrage would be , not that bribery would be done *» y Trith , bit that ttl £ prica of the voter * venality

Aa matters sow stand , aa honest elector nay often mister ipirit to resist the Importmnitte * of am employer ; bat with Universal Suffrage , his vote woald not be worth dmying to any man . This conclusion is therefore obvious , that under the proposed unrestricted ngim * of liberalism , the influence of wealth would carry all before , it—aye , even with the Ballot—even more than U doe » bow . The evil of private taonpeiingBuia proportion to their increased «* w » pnea » » nd faculties , would be multiplied thousandfold . .

      Ask the working men in America what precise benefit tbey draw , or whether they draw any benefit at all . from the possession of the elective franchise ? Apart fwn the occasional fingering of a miserable bribe , tfee praetloft : of which in the United States is as common and current as political venality can make it , they toil their six day * a week , earn their scanty wages , and have . at desperate a struggle with poverty a * oar unsuffraged operatives at home- Republicaa bribery , as w « may t » k » a future opportunity of showing , ia the rottenest and most pernicious bribery in criitaBM .

      Then , what sort of senator * shoald we have under Mr . ManhalTa contemplated r » jrim »! Men returned to Parliament without a proper qualification , and paid a salary by their constituents , would , in all probability , be the f orcbaseable tools of any Ministry that might choose to bid high enough for tbeir co-operation or eonnivanoe ; and if Parliament * were annual , the fugitive nature of their delegated honours , instead of enhancing responsibility , would furnish only the stronger motive for reaping an early harvest of corruption . . . .

      Neither would Universal Suffrage itself , ox what i commonly so called , be stamped with anything like finality . Modern education , which really means modern magic , is working extraordinary changes ; whether they be improvements or not , is another question . Everything would struggle to be upon the move . Connected with repeated alterations in the franchise , it is by no means unlikely that an attempt might be made sooner or later to abridge the term of yean heretofore atsigned to pupillage and majority . These railway times may presently conduct lads to maturity and to political privileges at sixteen—nay ,

      eventually , even at twelve . Females , too , patronised by the advocates of equality , might by and by grow impatient of tbeir quiet legitimate influence , and seek to become active Parliamentary politicians , with an alleged indefeasible tight both to vote at the pollingbooth , and to harangue at the hustings . Pray , Mr . J . Q- Marshall , where would all this stop ? What is now called Universal Suffrage , were it ever adopted , would just be tantamount to universal confusion . Mr . Marshall should teach his workmen sounder principles , and set them a better example . At present , whatever he may think of it , he is only contributing to their misery . —Time * .

      HOUSE OF LORDS .-FWD 1 T , Feb . 12 th . The Bishop of London presented a petition from the Mayor and Corporation of Leeds in favour of the Bill for the Drainage of Buildings . He fully concurred in the prayer of the petition , as he believed a great portion of all disease in large towns arose from imperfect sewerage and ventilation . Lord Ellenboeough thought the moral and religious improvement of the poor totally inconsistent with their physical degradation , and that if was utterly idle to build churches and school-bouses until the poor man was placed In a situation of self-respect , and had a comfortabable home . He regretted that the Bill was enly prospective in its operation . In answer to the Marquis of Salisbury , Viscount Dlncan . ^ o . s said it was the intention of Government to proceed with the recommendations of the committee for making additional thoroughfares in the metropolis as soun as possible .

      The Marquis of Nobhaubt moved the second reading of the Drainage of Buildings Bill . It was but one step upon the subject , find he promised their Lord- ' ships it would be followed up by others . The Noble Lord then referred » t same length to the prevalence of teten and other diseases in various districts of the metropolis , which had not been properly drained or ventilated . In the provinces the same ill effects were observable in all the large manufacturing towns , where vast number * of the population were crowded together ia badly ventilated and drained districts . Tbe Noble Lord referred to the statistical tables of the mortality , in Manchester , Liverpool , Glasgow , and other large towns , in order to show that of late years it had considerably increased . It was not his intention at present to extend the provision * ot the Bill to Scotland , although be had no objection to it * being extended to IreUnd .

      The Marquis of Salisbury said bis only objection to the BUI was , chat it did n « t go far enough . Some of the provisions had been rather nastily considered , and he proposed , therefore , that it should be referred to a select committee up stairs . The Earl of Wicklow also thought the measure imperfect in some of its details . The Marquia of Westminster supported the Bill , which wob then read a second time , and ordered to be referred to a select committee up stairs . —Adjourned till next Tuesday ,

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Friday , Feb . 12 . Several bills tor amending railway acts were advanced a stage . Petitions were presented , by Mr . Brotherton , for a free pardon to Frost , Williams , and Jones j by Mr . Berkeley , against the Corn Laws , and fiom the merchants of Bristol against the equalisation of the duties on East and West India produce ; by Mr . O'Connell , against the combination of workmen in the printing trade ; and by Mr . Lockhart and Mr . Ewart , in favour of tbe copyright of designs bill . Lord J . Rcssell , in reply to Sir E . Sugden , stated that it was his intention to oppose the bil of the Right Hon . Gentleman on the subject of the administration of justice In the Pri-ry Council * nd the House of Lords .

      Mr . GODSOU gave notice that , on the 23 rd February , he should move tor the appointment of a committee to inquire into the present state of companies established for the insurance of lives . Mr . Ewaiit gave notice that , on the 20 th February , he should move for the appointment of a committee to inquire into the treatment of lunatics in the Hauwell Asylum . lu answer to Mr . Ewart , Lord Palmersto . v said it was tbe intention of Government to propose a reduction of the duty on Neapolitan oil , but he could not say to what extent It was also their intention to bring in a bill to facilitate the transfer of goods by document between principal and factor .

      Mr . Hvjie wished to know whether there was any truth in the report which kad obtained circulation in the Indian papers , namely , that the 2 nd Bengal cavalry had behaved so badly during the war in Affghauiiitan , refusing to advance at the command of their officers , that they had been sent back to Bengal and disbanded —that upon investigation it turned out that Sir John , now Lord Ktane , had ordered a trooper of the regiment to be shot without court-martial or inquiry , and that no regular inquiry had been permitted iuto the circumstances .

      Sir J . Hobhouse regretted that the Hon . Member , upon tbe evidence of a newspaper correspondent , would believe a British general officer to hav « been an accomplice of aurder under the pretence of discharging hia duty . The object evidently was to prevent an hon . and gallant officer , who had served his country for nearly fifty years , from receiving the reward to which he was justl . . entitled . The facts of the case were , that the regiment in question were commiting depredxtions on the standing crops of a village , and at the earnest entreaties of the leading aen videttes were posted around the fields with instructions to fire over the heads of tbe marauders . One man was in consequence wounded in the leg , and if the man bad been shot on the spot tbe commanding officer would have been perfectly justified . ( Cheers . ) He would add further , that during the whole advance not only was no man punished with death , but there was no instance of corperal punishment having been inflicted .

      Mr . Williams wished to know if the papers which had published these calumnious statements would be prosecuted . . Mr , Hogg said no report whatever had reached the Directors of the Bast India Company in reference to these charges . Lord Howick thought the explanation of the Right Hon . Gentleman highly satisfactory . The House then went into committee to take inte consideration her Majesty ' s message relative to a grant to Lord Keane . Lord J . Russell proposed that a sum of £ 2 , 000 be granted to Lord Keane and his tw « next surviving heirs . Sir R . Peel seconded the motion , and declared that he would not disturb the unanimity of the House witk reference to any political questions .

      Lord How i ex opposed the grant , and reminded the Noble Lord ( J . Russell ) of the practice in ancient times of rewarding the victorious generate with a laurel crown . In later times a word from Queen Elizabeth was thought the Uigheet reward that could be conferred upon the bravest and most distinguished of the generals . He thought a large grant of the public money was altogether uncalled for . Lord J . Russbll observed that ia ancient times a victorious army returned laden with spoils , and the country would be shocked if it had been stated that Sir John Keane had returned to Engiaad with seven ] waggon leads of silver .

      Mr . HUMS objected to the creatioa of a pamper peerage , aad thoight it extremely iajudicioia to pension a family for three generations upon the public taxes . Such a step tended to degiade the peerage in the eyes of the public He also objected on the ground that the motion wa « not well timed ; they had not tbe means of paying the debts they had already incurred , and at the present moment there was an excess of five millions of « xpenditure over their income . Sir H . Vivian supported the motion . Mr . MPJfrz did not think himself authorised to tax those who were yet unborn for such a purpose , although he did not mean to disparage the services of the Noble Lord , or to refuse him an ample reward in his own person .

      M * . Labouchebe was glad the speech of the Bight Hon . Gentleman contained so few substantial objftctions against this proposition . It was evident that it was merely a question of time between himself and the Bight Hon . Gentleman . The manufactures of India bad been almost annihilated , although he believed the demand for English manufactures in that country was only limited by their own restrictions . He was quite sure that In a country like theirs , possessing widely extended colonial territories , there was but one safe and rational principle , namely , to treat with equal favour and protection every part of the empire . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Ewart thought all the articles of East India produce , including coffee and tobacco , should be placed upon the same footing as the produce of the West Indies .

      Mr . COLQimotfN said if they abolished the protection they would increase the commercial prosperity of both colonies . \ ¦ Mr . Hawes said it weald also have the effect of increasing the exertions of the West Indian colonies , and the result of the application of the principles of free trade would be found « Him * teIy beaeflcUl . The revenue was falling off from the present high price of sugar , and a great objection would be raised , throughout the country , to the imposition of i neW taxes , when the revenue might be increased bjnfcn honest course of commercial policy . ¦ , Sir A . Grant said the West Indies were in a state of transition , and suggested that the duty should be gradually diminished . Sir S . Lushington would not support any proposition which would not fully secure that country against the chance of the introduction of the produce of slave labour .

      Lord Sandon said the interests of tbe free labourers had been completely lost sight of . If the measure was carried into immediate effect , it would compel the planters to discontinue the employment of these men . He thought the operation of the Bill ought to be delayed for at least two years . Mr . Laboucubbe said it could not come into practical operation for six months , and he should not consent to any farther delay . Sir R . Peel advocated the plan of a gradual reduction of the duty , as otherwise , the West Indian proprietors would have some reason to complain that they had been taken by surprise . At the same time he did not intend to disturb the unanimity of the House by offering any opposition to the preeent motion . The resolution was ultimately agreed to without a division .

      TO THE SPITOB OF THB HORTHBBN STAB . New York , January 29 th , 1841 . DEAR SIR , —Not wishing to trouble you oftener than appears necessary , I have not for sometime trespassed on yoor patience , or the columns of your extensively circulated journal ; but , at this time , having a few faeta of importance to communicate ( not exactly of importance to the community , but to individual families ; , 1 hope you will give me space for the present scrawl . In the first place , I beg to inform you , that the ship Americ&n arrived here on the 11 th day of December , having , had a very protracted voyage , during which many of the passengers were taken ill , in consequence of want of provisions , fcc , among whom were Bradbury and Charles Kiosey , from the neighbourhood

      of Oldbam ; and John Adamson , carpenter , late a resident in Glasgow , woo boarded with me , and whom I found necessary to aend to the hospital—a place where every necessary attention ia paid them . Adamson is recovered , and now following bis employment ; Bradbury is fast recovering , and \ expect will be out in a few days ; but Ktnaey died in a few days After his admission . Lobley , from Bradford , is also in the Pensylvania Hospital . Another case is that of — Brown , from Manchester , wfao came out in tbe ship Fraricla first , arriving here on the 18 th of the present month , in company with , whom waa James Hudson , of Bradford ; William Ibbotson , of Halifax , bookseller ; and a young man of the name of Colcroft , or Cowcroft , from near Halifax . These pewons boarded with me for eight or nine days , during which time Mr . Brown appeared very we » R , and kept his bed ; after which , Messrs , Ibbotson and Colcrof t went over the river , and engaged a place in which to carry on the business of

      fetimongerinfe or tanning , leaving Hudson and Brown with me ( the latter still in bed ) until the following day , when Hudson removed him to the place taken by the others , in Jersey , under a pretext that he should board and lodge with them , which ended , on the morning following his removal , with Hudson decamping , and taking £ 92 sterling belonging to the man Brown , who may be , apparently , about forty-five or fifty years of age . The case has not yet been brought before the police , but aaall be immediately . Ibbotson says that Hudson has , also , £ i 2 sterling belonging to him . Time , however , the unraveller of n \ l myteriea , will , perhaps , throw additional light on this villanous and infernal trausdcUon , by which a sick man , in years , has been plundered of every penny in his possession , and left destitute in a strange land . He is now about b « ing admitted jnto the Hospital , to live on the benevolence of the public until he is restored to health , or passes out of th is stage of existence iuto that where there are

      no rogues . It appears that tbe manner in which the money of Brown was got possession of ia a somewhat novel step in the art of thieving . On the voyage it was represented to him how dangerous it was to have a sum of money hy him in bis trunks , or otherwise , and was thereby induced to give it up to the safe keeping of Hudson , who would lodge it in hia rule pocket , on the side of his pantaloons , taking care to stiteh it especially sife , —and it has proved , so safe , that Hudson has gone off , and the money with him , it evidently having been impossible to separate them .

      Political matters appear on the move : an extra Session is proposed by the British Whigs , to enable them to repeal the Sub-Treasury Bill , &c , &c . The affairs in the State of Maine look anything but peaceable . M'Leod is stated to have been admitted on bail ; such is not the fact . The moneymongers here , in connection with those of Britain , are moving beavan and earth to mortgage the States , by internal improvements , &c , but I guess it won't do ; Brother Jonathan will settle their affairs one of these daya . By giving insertion to the above , you will greatly oblige many of your readers , and the families referred to . I am , Sir , Yours , very respectfully , Peter Busset . No . 2 , Front-street , New York , U . S .

      P . S . I have also just bees informed that ( Jeorge Atkinson , son of Robert Atkinson , of Bradford , who arrived here on the 26 th day of September , in the ship Fairfield , died this day , in the Lunatic Asylum , to which placa he wan taken on the evening of the 27 th ins taut P . B .

      Ik the sake Court an action was tried in which Mr . Egan , a barrister , claimed frost the Guardians of the Kensington Unioa a balance of account due for attending to the business of returning-offioer at the election for Guardians . It appeared that tho Guardians had advertised for a barrister , and it was agreed the plaintiff should be employed at five guineas a day . The defendants had tendered £ 260 , anal the plaintiff's demand was £ 371 . A barrister ' s ri ^ ht to briig an action for fees was questioned ; and the circumstance of striking a bargain for services was strongly animadverted on by the Attorney-General as degrading to the profession . The verdict was for the defendants , on the ground that the sum paid into eourt covered the plaintiff ' s legal demand .

Moore said he did not win b enter into the question whether the man hdbea kept idle so many days , but to insist thxi ft magistrate had no right to entertain ti complaint at all , and begged to iatimai that be ( Mr . Moore ) would resist , by kgi proceedings , any decision the Alderman Digit come to . A man could not be paid in tvn Ways , by the piece and by the week at thesaa

      time . Mr . Alderman Kelly , nevertheless , prottedel to appoint two arbitrators , who met on Friday , asj being unable to agree to any award , came luck t the sitting Magistrate to determine as umpire b tween them . The arbitrator for the joarnepM i contended , that though a man might be paid Ij ti yard , he was entitled to compensation for an ; tin he might be kept waiting for materials , and be w * for awarding two shillings and sixpences day , fa thirteen days . Mr . Robinson , on the other side , said Mr . Moore had declined giving any evidence , or taking any cognizance of the arbitration ; and , with regard to the point in dispute , he thought tin

      journeyman entitled to nothing beyond the price per yard . Delay and disappointment in the obtshwi a continuous supply of material had ever , been incident to the trade , and was contemplated in ill price allowed per yard . If , in the practice ef tin trade , the loom were kept constantly going , Iowa wages would be given , and the claimant wobH have had 9 d . a yard instead of Is . Sir Clindia Hunter , after hearing the evidence as to th e debn in this case , made an award , that Mr .
