(Chest cheering) believed the causes of the recent mutiny to hen bus ear potting of the Sepoys which led them to think we wen afraid of than, the annexation of Oxide, and the mend cartridges, which last mooed • real panic. With newt to the annesation of °ode, the public ought to soa ped their verdict on Lord Dalhousie, se, to his (the lec turer's) certain knowledge, that nobleman had acted in that matter only in an executive capacity, the order for annexe ties haring come from the home government. 8o far back as 1801 Lord IVellesley threatened the Virder of Oude witlx deposition unlace better government were intro duced ; and Iced Harding, decreed annexation if re formation did not take place within two years.

It should be remembered, also, that to Lord Dalhousie we owed the Ponjaub, and that but foe the admirable condition of the Punjub we should not now to ex able to cope with the mutineers of Bengal.

Their policy wee, in filet, to pet the natives and jealously to ex clude the Europeans.

(A laugh.) There were three thim ble—one in Leadenball-etreet, one in Cannon-row, end one in Calcutta ; but it would be very hard to lay under which of them the pea of Indian reform could be found. (Laughter.) One man alone in recent times had inelenly exposed the defects of our Indian system, sad that man was John Bright. (Cheers.) That the India Company had discouraged colonienlion might be judged from the fact that there were only 300 independent British resi dents in Bengal. Hsi there been 30,000 we should net now have to fight for our own fortiflcatiune at Delhi. (Bur, hear.) Leg of all, Christianity and the Bible were great bugbears of the traditionary policy.

ROYAL CUMILZY 0.41.DEN8 COMPANY. Yesterday afternoon the adjourned general meeting of the proprietors of this coopany was held at the Ktao's Arra, Tavern, Palsce.yard, Westminster, for the purpose of receiving the report of the Committee of Investigation ap tiltby the meeting on the Bth ultimo. Mr. T.

Nicitocts stated that there were only six el the ewe' mires present when the report was agreed to. Mr. JONES, the solicitor to the company, that reed the report, which stated that the kW of the gardens, mechaand by the company for 14,00 W., was at the time red worth Mara hen 1 000.. ; that, In contraValitiMS of the 91st clews of the deed of settlement, the directors accepted bills on behalf of the company to the amount of 20,6471. ; and that, scoording to the umnion of Mr. Hawkins, all these bilk ems* egotist the shareholders, and the ditectors are pentmelly liab a for than; that in the musk depadomat there was room he vary great retrenchment, there hiving been pale hoes Aug. 16 to Sept. ?A (half the meek, Jnllien's salary, 1,2601. ; 2,4471. 7e. ; vo.

The report goes en to state that, as the deed of oolthment tvkled that the directors should haveparer tekertem 10,111 ~ but not exosed that sum, th e mortgage to Wanes. Scott end Cornwall for 6,0001 and the fast memo to Mr. Colborn, would ex haust the borrowing pewees of the directors, and conse quently the second sedgege to Mr. Collagen would he void; that with regard to the accounts and dividends, at a meetin g en October 29th the directors stated they could pay lt i d ti ! dead of 6 per cent. foe the half-year ending on the January 1, and that the strictest economy had been seed in the musical deportment, both which statements an now negatived by the soccoats now tam, the baleace.sheet up to October 1, 1866, showing then the company had this ex pended all their paid-up capital, sad were la debt to the alEcasit of 14,3631. h. Bd., and hi the below la the beakers' heads was only 1991. 14.. Id. It we. by these mad other such traneactions the shareholders sad creditors bad been led into • blew notion of the state of their fitments, and tradesmen sad others hawed to give further credit to the company, that the directors disregarded the re quirement of the demist sealsment ea to the time of publi cation of the balsaorehost, and that ties balance-sheet did not exhibit a killed pire of the Whirs of the company. The report then proms& to the following general observa tions:—'• It appears that the general body of the share holders were entirely ignorant that there were any meet- ' gages on the property, or that the company wee involved in debt, until they were informed of It by the affidavit of their ' own secretary, hied in support of the petition to the Court of Bankruptcy, which Mans that' the paid-up capital of the company hes been entirely exhausted and lest, or become unavailable, mid debts sad liabilities to the amount of 26,0001., or thereabouts, had been incurred by the said com pany, part of which—viz, a sum of 14,6001. or thereabouts (a. he helieved)—waa secured by mortgages on the said gardens and promises; but the remaining 11,6001. is wholly unascured; which debts end liabilities the said company is totally unable to pay and discharge, and, in fact, wholly un able to pay its debts.' But the moat unaccountable act of the directors was at a meeting held as lately as t h e 17th of February last, when the Unmet committee reported to then that the compete) would requite an advance of 6,000 i. to carry on their operate„.. toe directors at the same meeting ordered the sun of 2.20 u/. should be expended in • new re tresholent- room. The new retreat:latent-room was accord- ' lagly built, at an expense of 2,5001, notwithstanding the (mummy had then only a entail balance at their banker's, and were actually indebted to vertuus persons to • very consider able amount. '1 his appear, to your committee a most im proper act, and wholly unjuetitiuble. Your committee were especially desirous at informing the shereholdere what is their actual p.iition at the present time, but, as before stated, all information as to the easignmemt from idr. Tyler, the mortgages to Mr. Swett or Mr. Colboru, or the coutracts with M. Jullien or the builders, is withheld, the directors haying positively refused to produce thane to the cumulates." Toe report concludes with sumo migratione as to the future prnape. te of the gardens. The committee recom mende a ayeteot of management diametrically opposite to that which hes been hitherto adopted. They coincides the plan of continually giving scientific music a mistake, and re commend, sea geeeral rule, a toot° varied close of murk sad of a more national character. such SA the beet English, Scotch, end Irish compositions, which would be obtained at lees than half the cert. The out-door amusements should also to in trusted to persons experienced in such matter., taking sepecial we to place them under cock control. that the moral c.hozseter of the entabliehment should be jealously watched and strictly preserved. Greater ancomany ia alai required In th r := and advertising depostroest. The cornauttee alert that proper steps should be taken to have • full inmattgalka of the and all dams on the company, in order to ascertain w at the encumbrances really are, and whether each arrangements could be made as would enable the com pany to carry on the gardens with a prospect of mks the creditors, and giving aims return to the tiritholrleria • If so, whether it would to desirable that an extension of the lease ehoeild be applied for, your committee having ascertained that the lanolortbe would be willing to renew the negotiation for n new lease on liberal term., if the affairs tot the company can hr satisfactorily adjosted, and placed under proper ma- ge " far w . I'toott :nosed that tha report be adopted; Mr. WflonALO seconded the motion. II A L moved the following amendment "That Inasmuch as the continuance of the differenns be tween the directors and certain shareholders is damaging to the property and injurious to the interest of the company, and as four additional director, have been added to the board, making seven in the whole, that the prevent directors of the company, vie., Manses. Bain, Coppeck, Holmes, Johnson, Land, Leo, end Todd ho requested to make sock proviaional arrangements with t i s creditors of the el= es and for letting the gardens, as they may deem and that they be requested to report the result to as was. ordinary groom' meeting, to be called for the pupae se early Se convenient." Mr. Davi" seconded the amendment, for he thought the moat judicious course would be to still the difiereaken and try to make the property pay in future. He thought that some dimippotatment must have been felt at the unsuccessful result of Madame Alboni's engagement. No doubt it was dime by the directors with the best motive, but that clays of music wee not what was required by a shilling audience. If. it'Ll.ll , l said there had been a good deal of mis management at the gardens; It would take twenty volumes to tell et. He had never Itad any power plaecd at his dis posal. All his con:rata bad been profitable, and three at the gardena would have been more so, had he be allowed to manage them as he liked. Ile had been a great loser ley the eons ern, but he did not want his money back; all be wanted woo to see this nor put an end to, for he considered this sys ' tew of fighting depreciated the property very materially. Mr. Coonot: said be could never come to peace while one party had racked 14,00 W. Mr. Cureotn, la reply, said that if Mr. Coombe, or any other competent person, would pledge themselves to pay the amount at which the gardens were valued, he would wiltogly refer the matter to arhltratiim; but as ft was there was nothing to refer, because he had never had a single penny from the concern. He had • great stake in the matter, and had been a great loser, and he was not going to be driven out by the nods. and clamour of persons who only represented oco share. Ile cautioned tho shareholders that the niortgagein might come In and all in a few days, if some aresogenieut wen not come to. As to the value of the arden., Le had contracts for their sale from 14,0001. to 20,tiOn/. lie considered that they would all have their money if they chose to work with unanimity, and they ghoull have their money before he touched any. but he would not t, bullied by men whom he despised. He promised them that he would do all in his power to hel pp them in getting Linn: money, and, therefore, he eapportW the amendment. After some further discussion the amendment wee nega tived by 37 against 33. The CHAIRVAN then read a reqUilititlll demanding a ballot, upon which— Mr. COOMICENI Mr. FLEMING. COM brined of such • course and after some alight diseariou, Mr. Fleming moved ' that the ballot be adjourned until Monday nett, to take pines at the Surrey Gardena from three to els o'clock, by the secretary, ,wilted by three scrutineers, to be named by the chairman. Mr. II'Dov•to seconded the motion which, after a fur ther discussion was agreed to, Masora. Johnson, Chappell, and Spetchley being the scrutineer,. Mr. ?LEMING then moved " that !deism. Coppock, Bain, sad Holmes be removed from the directorship." Mr. Comae seconded the motion, and • dimuseion earned, in which the Cheirisan M.

"My lord,—l have reed in the Then newspaper of this day the report of what gamed yesterday before your lordship, on the subject of the coalwhipperi office, of which I am chairman, and, as requested, I furnish what information I Can respe cting the matter. " The statements made to your lordship pear to have bum, firstly, that • greet number of coalwhippeee ap ere unem ployed, es employed, which is unhappily true, and might have been meshed se truly 10 or 20 time in each of the last twenty yens • seemedly, that digerecioss at proem! exist be tween the ecilwhippere sad melowners, in consequence of the d uge of* naohr of men from the embehippere• office; thirdly, the* the ondowners discharged these men because they were prevented from allowing the old system of employment at palate-houses from coming into full play end your lordship le requested to act as arbitrator ea to the pries the otalwhippere should receive for their labour. " I am sorry to have to add, that this cruel and unchristian conduct and motive is attributed to the coalowners by a ; se it might be fairly assumed by the pnbW c 1 and loMahip, that such an amnion would not be made by such a person without sufficient previoue in Lien on his pert, it Is necemary that I should state neither the Rev. Mr. Chanißeys nor the Rev. Mr. Rowell made any inquiry et the coalwhippers" office, of any of its servants, or of myself or any other of the committee, before they stated thus publicly what we had done, and why we had done it. Their statement shows a complete misapprehension of facts, and could not poseibly have been made by those gen tlemen had they applied for information in explanation to those whom they ware shout to mead. " The evidence and report of the committee of the House of Lords, which eat last eassion on this subject, will satisfy your lordship that, in the words of the report, the grievance of the men—uieuftideat employment, and a consequent de merlon of wages—era beyond the province of legislation. When that committee set, the price paid by the office for whipping male was 7d. a ton. There was competition, not merely of half a dozen public-horses, but of contractors with gas companies and coal merchants, for the discharge of coals, of the many wharves where awn aro discharged by machi nery, and of the railway companies, who do not employ whippers at all in the delivery of the large quantities of coal they bring into London. he cost of whipping under pri vate contractors, and of discharging at wharves, was 6d._ a toe, which, I should have stated, wee the olive charge also for one kind of work—the discharging screw collier,. At 6d. a ton a man can earn 91. to I Is. a day, end at the rate at which ships have been discharged, would average about 34. GI a day, meaning, of course, melt day on which he worked. We found that we could not obtain at 9,1. • ton enough work to maintain the 80 gangs, or 720 men, in our office. This was imeribed to mar charge being higher than that made by other pezilee ; and we, after much consideration, and after degassing the matter with a deputation of men, re duced our charge to Bd. During the short time that this re mained the rate, the office seemed to be g•ining work ; but a strike of the coodwldpper• generally for 9d. a ton was made. The strike did not begin among our man ; it began with those who had been competing with them. It lasted about a fortnight, during which time 9d. • ton was paid for the ai ltmed that id. a ton was the highest price at which work fora large number of men could be procured, we first offered to guarantee 18a. a week to 10 giLogs of men, who would agree to discharge coals at that price. Finding that while the excitement of the strike lasted there was no chance of men coming to those terms, we next offered to take 60 gangs to work at 7d. • ton but without any guarantee as to the amount to be earned weekly ; felt assured, how ever, that we could obtain good wages for that number at that prioe. This het condition was accepted. " 130 far, therefore, from any difference' now existing between the office and the men, they ere now at work at their own rate of wages, that at which they worked for nine months, and the reduction from which led to a strike. But we cannot undertake to find work for all that apply for it. There Le not work In London for half the caalwhippers in it. The quantit of coal discharged by machinery has steadily and rapidly Increased, and will Increase the more rapidly if the charge for whipping la railed. On the very day an which the office resumed work after the strike, at 7d. a ton, the private employers of coalwhippere were able to obtain men at fiti. a ton ; and that is now tho usual charge outside of our office. Under such circumstances, if we took on more men, it would be with the knowledge that we could not give sufficient employment. The great coalowners of the north, who established and support the oiler, send it work enough for the fifty gangs it now contains, and pay Id. a ton more for their work than is offered by others; RO far are they and the manager. of the office front acting in the feeling imagined by the lice. Mr. Roweell. " The only combination of the northern coalowners is, therefore, in favour of the coalwhimers, and the committee managing the 140 es have had no motive but to get all the work they could for their men. They know that the late strike, and the attempt to keep up wagers can have only in jurious effects on the men theniseivrs, decreseing the amount of work —alreedy insufficient. It is imposeible to point out any artsegeruent by which a living can do se, ured for an in definite number of men out of • limited amount of work, and the problem submitted to 'tour lordsbtp'a solution yoster day was nothing less. It is deeply to be regretted that the teen themselves would not unite in supporting our office, by all working from it at the rate at which they will work for private employers, and even for publicans; and the commit tee can challenge those who had gone elsewhere fur work before the strike and who refund to accept the offer of 18a. per week guaranteed to 40 gangs, to state any point in which Weir office is not entitled to preference by them over the =- players for whom they are now working.—l have, &c., " J.

Some excitement was caused here this morning by a statement in the Kerning Chronicle that the Admiralty had received Information that the European and American Company's troop ste amer Hydupes was lost on her way to Calcutta. A te legram was received here about mid-day from London stating that the Admiralty had received no such Information. The liydaspes left Woolwich the letter end of September, with upwards of 600 artillery, men and eaters. The last Brazilian howeward mall packet brought word that the Hydaspes had made a good run out to St. Vincent, Cape de Verde, and that the troops on board were delighted with the tnatmeat they had received and with the prospects of a safe, swift, and pleasant voyage. Captain Down, the com mander of the Hydaepes, is a Southampton man. He wee educated in an East Indian liner, was some time in the ser vice of the Royal Mail Company; he also commanded the troop steamer Ottawa in the Black Sea during the Crimean war, which was the ship that Miss Nightingale used to travel in, and he has commanded a mail packet on the west coast of Africa.

CHAPEL.—UntiI the last few years, Harrow has been behind nearly all the other public schools in architectural embellishment. The old chapel, which was erected in 1839, was a plain red brick building, without the slightest claims to either internal or external beauty. It retained this unpretending appearance till the year 1855, when a new north aisle and chancel were added the latter the sole gift of the head muter, the former chiefly from subscriptions by }terror tans, both old and present. 01 the speech day, 1856, the foundation stone of a south aisle in memory of those Ilarrovians who fell in the Crimes was laid by Sir W. Williams of Kars, The year 1857 had however, began before any steps could be taken to with the work, and it was only a few weeks ago it waa determined that the comeaution should take place on the Ist November. The style is the decorated English, and does the greatest credit to the architect, Gilbert Scott. There are nine windows in the chancel, five of which am already filled with stained glass in admirable style, and the roof is tastefully decorated with brilliant colour.. The pulpit is of wood, beautifully carved, on a stone pedestal ; but that which prin cipally attracts the attention of a visitor is the exquisite workmanship of the capitals of the pillars ; and, in fact, all the stone carving is well worthy of sdmiration, especially the front of the organ gallery. The organ has not yet been set up, from fear of the damp. and the expenses of it were defrayed by subscriptions of the scholars. The proportions of the whole interior of the building appear admirable, although Mr. Scott has made a bold experiment in construct ing one aisle so much larger than the other. The spire is not erected, but in a few mouths we hope to see it in tie place, when the whole will be completed. It meat not be messed, however, that it is intended to rival that of the church. On the day of consecration there was of MUSS a Vjathertnitl o ;ld Harrovian,; the emcees': was Par ity the • of the dioceee, who preateed a most imprimise sermon in the morning. His text was taken frog Bev. vit., 9—" he, a great multitude, whom se mu an number." After both services a collection was made for a whitlow in commemoration of thli day. From the Harrow Greene d yeeterday we learn that 1031. was thus obtained. 172YIMIIITT INTBLLIGBNCE. CAMBRIDGE, ocr. 31. THE UNIVERSITY PULPIT.—Among the proposi tions to be submitted to the Senate on Thursday next, by race, as amendments to the proposed new university statutes, is the following To rescind the provision in cap. ft, sec. I, perm. 4 of the revised statutes, which gives power to the committee there specifier:lto prevent from p m th e University church any one convicted before them o o the doctrine or discipline of the Church of England in ,fi P C d subject Is exciting great interest in the university. ix member of the council Odd by the Corribridoe Chrersick to be the Christian Advocate) has circulated the following nine " Reasons why the university should not eurruder Itejtuis diction with respect to Great St. Mary's Pulpit ," 1. Because the advocates of such surrender have not justified their propose, by showing that previous statutes of this kind have ever yet been executed with undue severity, or have led to any serious violation of the pesos of the uni versity. 2. Because the statute In cap. vi., sec. I as revised and regularly accepted by the Senate, but now submitted to them for repeal is still leis open to the charge of possible harsh ness or oppression • the judge! there appointed being at least as likely to be tolerant and discerning as their predeceasora, and lie penalty in cue of a conviction being now reduced as far as possible, consistently with any legislation on the "3. Because on general grounds, it Is most reasonable that the cogni sance of the university sermons, which are of the nature of public lectures in divinity, delivered in St. Mary's thumb., should be reserved as heretofore within the jurisdiction of the academic body. " 4. &Mid the i ce of calling public teachers to amount for uttering t errors has been meanimonaly re affirmed by the Senate the case of the Lady Margaret and Monied= ProSseore of Divinity. "6. Because the argument, according to which the cog nisant* of matters here contemplated should be left in Adore to the culinary tribunals of the country, is fatal to all plead put forward in defence of our forum domeetiewm! whereas the purpose of the university to keep its hold upon that privi lege has been distinctly reasserted in other cases. 6. Because, to say the least, it is extremely doubtfal whether. in the present state of English law the jurisdic tion of the biehop of the diocese extend. to su ch 'peculiars • as the university Belvieu in a parish church; and, there. fore, it is doubtful in the seine proportion whether, if exist ing safeguards be removed, the univerilty as such, have any means at its disposal, however publ ic, tedious, and expensive, of declaring its want of confidence in some erratic " 7. =, whatever be the right solution of that point. It is well known that the country at large, and more particu larly parents who send their sons for education in religious truth as well as in the arts and sciences, have been accus tomed to expect such care and firmness on the part of the univeeeity ; and therefore any declaration to th e contrary, like that embodied in the new proposal, would necessarily be regarded by them as the repudiation of • public duty. 8. Because previa= far more stringent, and far wider in their range, have been continued m the new Oxford Statutes, with thirsted of the commissioners and the crown ; and to place the two universities in this respect upon a totally different footing would be manifestly unfair to one, if not injurious to both. "9. Because there is great raison to apprehend, at the present juncture, that any manifestation of laxity or indiffe rence, with regard to religious subjects, would do very much to stimulate and embolden a class of persona, whose main object is to sever the remaining ties by which the university is connected with the church of England." THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. PORTBNOUTII, MONDAT.—The municipal elec dons for this borough have passed off to-day without any excitement. In only two wards out of no have there been confab. and even in these two there was no political or social question brought to beer. The elections simply hinged upon the claims of individual candidates; and although two or three tortes have succeeded in getting in through the in difference of the lib/cab, there was a total absence of organisa tion for achieving even such a result. RoCliEuTlift.—The result of the municipal elec tions yesterday (Monday) terminated in the return of liberal councillors foe all the wards within the city, the toryr not venturing on an opposition. Five seats are thus gained to the liberal party, and there is no doubt that at the neat election a merrily of the seats in the town council will be RIM by liberals. LlWZRPOOL.—Yesterday the election of gentlemen to serve in the Liverpool Town Council took place. Of the sixteen wards in the town there were contests en nine. There were five conservatives and four liberals returned. MANCHESTER.—There were contests for four only out of the fifteen wards, relent:log in the election of two new men—Mr. John Leigh. for Collegiate Ch Ward ; and Mr. Woodward, for New Cross Ward. The elections were conducted quietly. SktroaD.—Only two contests in this ward, and the elections excited no interest. Noternaterrom.—The elections in this borough have resulted in the return of five conservatives and one liberal. How TERNITE WERE FIRST GROWN AT ABER. CARN e.—Sir Benjamin Hall, MP., presided at the annul meeting of the Abergavenny Agricultural Association, held • few day. ago at Lianover, and in the course of his speech observed:—"• I will tell you an antidote that I heard my father relate very often. About 46 years ago he endeavoured to persuade hie tenantry in the hilly district to grow turnips, that their sheep and cattle might eat them. He was told in very strong end emphatic language by the inhabitants of the district that a Welsh sheep would not look at a turnip, and would scorn to eat one. (A laugh.) The difficulty was to overcome that prejudice and induce the people to grow tur nips in order that their sheep might eat them and weeper more. He took the wisest course. We are all Welehmen here, end I shall not be speaking disrespectfully—being one of them—if I say that it is of no use whatever to drive • Welshman. You may lead him, but it is impressible to drive him; and, moreover, it is always bettor to use persuasion than compulsion, and to appeal rather to • man's good Dense than endeavour to force him to do that which is contrary to his own wishes and prejudices. This reminds me that a circumstance occurred the other day which annoyed me very much. I happened to make a road through a part of my estate at Abercarne, and I found there a remarkably fine beech tree; but its tine silvery bark had proved too strong a temptation to the knives of the idlers, who had incribed their names and their rude love songs upon the tree. It was perfectly covered with all kinds of hieroglyphics, which offended my eye. As to potting up a notice that man-traps or spring guns were laid to prevent Welshman from cutting the tree, I knew that would he ; so I put up a notice, written both in Welsh and Eng lish, ' None but fools will inscribe their names upon this tree: (A laugh.) Thus appealing to their good tense, and they not wishing to be included in the category of fools, my tree now remains unmolested by every gentle swain, and no rustic Vilikins has since attempted to address hie Dinah be writing upon it. (Laughter.) But that is ra ther a digression, and we will go bark to the turnips. My father was determined to convince his tenants that Welsh sheep would eat turnips ; so on the top of a bill on the very highest point of his estate, he had a very fine field of turnips. It was walled round, and • strong fence was put on the top of the wall, with a kind of derma de frss, to prevent those very nimble quadrupeds, the Welsh sheep, from getting over and destroying the crop. Well, the tur nips grew, and winter came ; the cheep began to flock about the roads, and the r lrreus de foes was taken down. Over jumped the Welsh sheep—(a lairgh)—and of course in a few days the field was filled with them. My father was apprised that this was the case, and he pounded all the sheep. That wee a very heinous offence for a landlord to commit towards his tenants, but he put a very high price upon the that had been done. They complained very much about but he begged to assure them that the business did not con cern them; that it could not be their sheep that were pounded ; for he had it upon the word and honour of Welsh men that their sheep would not so much as look at a turnip.
