The Sikhs were now able to carry ant plans, while is every area ours we were u g h They so successfully retired from Meow to *garter es which they are DIM encamped, that the prs who went in quest of the wounded next' ey eo , .:d scarcely discover their position.

Chatter' dab had est es yet joined them Some 10,000 fiats were to the north of them, watching the tma or event". ion 10,000 Sikh troops sent by & o l e o Singh, under Colonel Steinbach, to co-ope age ir.ei 111. were only waiting to see on which ends ovrAmid declare itself to attach themselves to anieg mum The commander-in-chief seemed s e hem bees at first utterly at a loss what was to be area; at first an immediate retreat on Dinghee wns tif, bat as this would have been too mania. an ashnewledgenent of unsocoess, he resolved set booth to entrench himself where he was, calling gp Wheeler's brigade of about 6,000 men, engaged I. jarring disturbances in the Bares Doab, and annimen•ng the 13th and 22nd from Ramnaggur and her Maieety's 33rd from Lahore; sending back, in 1 melange, the regiments that were disabled. Lord Oeugb having ordered that no letters should be sent beam until the despatches were in readiness, wrote a kid i.otification to the Governor•General*, stating I That tb troops under Shire Singh had been entirely difsatet! and dnren back at every point with the loss' et many their guns, and had relinquished all the patriot, in which they had been entrenched. The rose wu, of no avail. For three days silence was sw ami:illy maintained, when such a host of letters from officers kith the force appeared in all the newspapers, m er i ow obviously the stamp of the highest author ity, that the despatches when they do arrive will take a very -econdary place in the rank of documents. The biLirage-cattle had been under their burthens for seen tire thirty hours before sufficient leisure was (salt I attend to them. On the 17th, two European lasers. oho bad been taken prisoners, were returned m as; and the Sikh General of Artillery, with his two Ma., and a couple of other men of note, are said to have surrendered on the 19th. _ _ Lord Gifford and Sir H. Lawrence quitted the gimp o' Lord Gough for that of the Governor-General ea the 14th. A field work had been thrown up on the rirl.t. Major Tucker was to succeed Major BEng. Colonel Carsegy had reached camp, and been etpoinud Brigadier in Pennycnick's room. Chnttur Singh hid not up to the 20th, our latest date from ramp, joined his sou, though daily expected. The weather was delightful, and the spirits of the troops tits said to have grotty revived. The wounded were doing well. The Sikhs are said to have lost 3,000 ma tilled, and 4,000 wounded—our caanaltics being rather 'more than a third of this. The enemy were busily coesged entrenching themselves; they were li tube 60,000 strong. ttt such have been the . proceedings of the army et the runjaub, the besieging force under General Whish has been more successful. We give from the ladles papers more ample details than those by the revioL mail of the capture of the town at Mooltan, also an account of the surrender of the fort, which was taken after the departure of the last advice,.

The Dost himself is said to be on the banks of the Indus, watching the progress of events. Strong reports are still &fined of a close league having been formed between the Mi ght= and Sikhs, but it is certain that the former have not given the latter what they must want more than all—armed aid. The general opinion sew to be, that if the ruler of Cabool can get our consent to the reteation of Peshawar, he will be satisfied ; it is diMeale, however, to fathom the depths of Oriental avarice or to trace out the windings of Oriental intrigue. A late letter from the north says that the Massubnan chiefs of Peshawar have formally conferred on Dint Mahomed the title of Defender of the Mahomedan Faith. — it;o7tttieliftit, intelligence was received at Bombay, by Herat, that a body of Affghans, 12,000 strongt with 17 gum had starched from Caudally, and were es their way through the Bonn P. to attack Shikarpore and Lsrkhana. Four regiments were immediately ordered up, and Bombay was for a tine immediately stripped of Baropeen troops. Eight thousand mess had been sent up from Schad. to nooltan ; the country ?melted to be reinforced, to bring the garrison up to close on 12,000 . , exclusive of the armed police. The alarm proved groundless. OFFICIAL LIST OF CASUALTIES. RETURN OF KILLED, WOUNDED, AND MISSING Of the Army of the Punjab, under the personal command of the 11.4tht Hoe.

Camp Chillianwallah, Jan. 16, 184.9. My Lord—Major Matheson, your lordship's political agent with my camp, officially communicated to me on the 10th instant the 411 of Attack, and the advance of Birder Chun'? Singh, in order to concentrate his force with the army tamy hoot under Sheri Singh, already amounting to from 30,000 to 40,000 men, with six two teas, concluding his letter the.,—" I would urge, in the event of your lordship's finding yourself strong enough, with the army under your eceemand, to strike an effectual blow at the enemy in our front, that the blow should be struck with the least possible delay." Concurring entirely with or Mackeson, and feeling that I was perfeetlyconipetent ually to overthrow Sherri Singh's army, I moved from Leah Tibbah at daylight on the 12th to Dings*, about twelve miles. Having learnt from my spies, and from other Bonnier)! informatioe, that Shore Singh still held with his right the villages of Lukhneswalla and Panel, Shah-Ks-Chuck, having the great body of his fore* at the village of Lol li anwalla, with his left at Ramo' on the Jhelum, strongly occupying the southern extremity of a low range of difficult hills, intersected by ravines, which extend nearly to that village, I made my arrangements accordingly that evening, and communicated them to the commanders of the several divisions ; but, to ensure correct information es to the nature of the country which I believed to be excessively difficult, and illadapted to the advance of a regular army, I determined upon moving on this village with a view to reconnoitre. Oa the morning of the 13th the force advanced. I made a considerable detour to my right, partly in order to distract the enemy's attention, but principally to get as clear as I amid of the jiimee on which it would appear that the enemy metal relied. We approached this village about twelve o'clock, and I band on a mound claw to it a strong picquet of the enemy's cavalry and infantry, which we at once dis persed, obtaining from the mound a very extended view of the country before us, and the enemy drawn out in battle arrkY, he having either during the night or that morning moved mit of his several podtions, and occupied the ground in our front, which though not a dense, was still a difficult apple, his right in advance of Futteh Shah•Ke-Chuck, and his left en the farrowed hills before described. The day befog so far advanced, I decided upon taking up a potties in rear of the village, in order to reconnoitre my that I could not turn the enemy's flanks, will upon a dense jangle extending nearly to Hall, which I had previously occupied for some time, and the neighbourhood of which I knew and upon the reviney hills near Ramo', without detaching a force to a distance ; this I considered both inexpedient and dangerous. The engineer department had been adored to examine the emastry before us, and the quarter-master general was is the net of taking up ground for the eneatiment, when the meet, advanced some horse artillery, and opened a fire on the ddradAers in float of the village. I immediately ordered them to be Waked by a few rounds from our heavy puke, which advanced to an open spans in front of the village. Their are was Instantly nggened by that of nearly the whole of the emeray's field artillery, thus ex posi ng the politics of his guns, which the Angle hod hito eon eluded. It was now evident that the enemy Intended to fight, and would probably &drone, his guns eir as to reach the encampment during the nEt rv . I therefore drew up in order of battle; Sir Walter s division on the right, flanked by Brigadier Pope's brigade of cavalry, whit* I strengthened by the 14th Light Dragoons, well &weir that the essesy woe wrong in cavalry upon his left. To this were ateeahed three troop of Horse Artillery, under Lieu tenant-Colossi Grant. The heavy gong were in the centre. =Ndr-fisseral Campbell's division formed the left, hyßeigadier White's brigade of Cavalry, and three troop of Rem Mabry, under Lientenant•Colonel Bring, The Geld lateielee were with the infantry divisions.

Briga dier Penny's brigade woo held in referee, while the Irregular Cavalry, under Brigadier Heaney, with the 20th Native Infantry, was ordered to protect the enor mous amrunt of provision and baggaAe that so hampers the movement of ea Indian army. Some time after the advance, I found that Brigadier Pesnyenick's brigade bad failed in maintalniug the position it hart carried, and immediately ordered Brigadier Penny's reserve to its support; but Brigadier-Genersl Campbell, with that steady coolness and military decision for which he is so remarkable, having pushed on his left brigade and formed line to his right, carried every thing before him, and soon overthrew that portion of the enemy which had obtained temporary advantage over his right brigade. This last brigade. I am informed mistook for the 'Mall to move in double time, the action of their brave leaders, Brigs diet Pennycnick and Lieut.-Colonel Brookes ftwo officers net surpassed for sound judgment and military daring in this or any ca!: ••—• 1 who waved th-'' heads as they 7h — etr7id on their gallant comrade" This Un happy mistake led to the Europeans outstripping the native corps, which could not keep pace, and arriving completely blown at a belt of thicker jungle, when they got into some eorifuelon. and Lieut. Colonel Brookes, leading the 24th, was killed between the enemy's guns. At this momenta large body of infantry which supported their game, opened upon them so destructive a fire that the brigade was forced to re tire, having lost their gallant and lamented leader, Brigadier Pennycnick, and the three other field °Sem of the 24th, and nearly half the regiment before it gave way; the native regi ment, when it came up, also suffering severely. In justice to this brigade, I must be allowed to state that they b :hayed heroically, and but fur their too hasty, and consequently die order4 advance, would have emulated the conduct of their left brigade, which, lest unnipported fir a time, had to charge to their front and right wherever an enemy *p p, ared. The brigade of Home Artillery on their left, under Lieutenant-Colmel Brind, judieiou.ly and ga lantly aiding, maintained an effective fi re. _ Majnr•Gcneral Sir J. Thachwell, on the extreme left and rear, rimed the enemy's cavalry wherever they showed themselves. _ _ _ TTle 7 ;i;iit attack of infantry, under that able officer, Maior-General Sir Walter Gilbert, was met praiesworthy and successful. The left brigade, under Brigadier Moun tain, advanced under a heavy fire upon the enemy's guns, in a, manner that did credit to the brigadier and his gallant brigade, which eame tint into action and suffered severely. Tree right brigade, under Brigadier Godby, ably supported the advance. Th ui ttivision nobly maintained the character of the Indian army, taking and spiking the whole of the enemy's guns in their front, and dispersing the SikEs wher ever they were seen. The major-general reports most fa vourably of the firs of his field-battery. The right brigade of cavalry, under Brigadier Pope, wu not, I regret to say, so successful. Either by some order, or misapprehension of an order, they got into much eon fueiou, hampered the fine brigade of Horse Artillery, which, while getting into action against a body of the enemy's cavalry that was coming down upon them, had their horses separated from their guns by the false movemenn of our cavalry, and, notwithstanding the heroic conduct of the gunners, four of those guns were disabled to an extent which rendered their withdrawal at the moment impossible. The moment the artillery was extricated, and the cavalry re formed, a few rounds put to flight the enemy that had cautioned this confusion. With this exception, the conduct of the troops genenilly was meet exemplary. Some corps, both European and native, acted under moot trying circumstances (from the temporary failure in our left centre and right, and the cover which tho jungle afforded to the enemy's movement.) and with a gallantry worthy of the highest admiration. Although the enemy, who defended not only his gnus but his position with desperation, was driven in much confusion, and with heavy loss, from every part of it, end the greater part of his field artillery was actually captured, the march of brigades to their fi inks to repel parties that had rallied, and the want of numbers and consequent support to our right (link, aided by the cover of the jungle and the close of the day, enabled him, upon our further advance in pur suit, to return and carry off, tint Layered, the greater portion of the guns we had thus gallantly carried at the point of the bayonet. I remained with Brigadier-General Campbell's division, which bad been reinforced by Brigadier Mountain's brigade, until near eight o'clock, in order to effect the bringing in of the captured ordnance, and of the wounded, and I hoped to i bring in the rest of the guns next morning. But I did not feel justified in remaining longer out. The night was very dark. I knew not how far I bad advanced. There were no wells than the line of this village. The troops had been arduously employed all day, and there was every ap pearance of a wet night ; rain did fall before morning. I should have kit great satisfaction if I were enabled to state that my expectations in regard to the guns had been realised ; bat although a brigade of cavalry under Brigadier Whit*, with a troop of Horse Artillery, were on the ground soon after daylight, we found that the enemy. assisted by the neighbouring villagers, had carried off their guns, ex cepting twelve which we had brought in the night Were. Host of the captured waggons i had caused to be blown up before leaving the ground. The victory wee complete as to the total overthrow of the enemy; and his sense of utter discomfiture end defeat will, I trust, soon be made apparent, unless, indeed, the rumours prevalent this day of his having been joined by Chuttur Sing prove correct. 1 am informed that the loss of the Sikhs has been very great, and chiefly amongst their old and tried soldiers. In no action do I remember seeing so many of an enemy's slain upon the same space : Sobraoo perhaps only excepted. I have now, my lord, stated the general movements of this army, previous to and during the action of Chillianwallah ; and as that action was characterised by peculiar festureo, which rendered it impossible for the commandevin-chief to witness all the operations of the force, I shall beg leave to bring prominently to your lordship's notice the names of the several officers end corps particularly mentioned by the divi sional commanders. _ - I have already stated the obligations I am under to Major- General Sir Joseph Thcckwell, and Sir Walter Gilbert, and to Brigadier General Campbell for their most valuable ser vices. I warmly county with them in the thanks whieb they have expressed to the several brigadier., and dicers commanding soups, and to the hoops generally. Sir Joseph Thackwell names, with much satisfaction, Brigadier Wtite's conduct of his brigade, Maj. Yerbury commanding 3rd Light Dragoons, the gallant charge of Capt. Unett, in command of a squadron of that corps, Major Mackenzie, commanding the Bth, and Captain Wheatley commanding the 6th Light Ca valry, and the conduct of Captain Moore of the Bth, with a equadron detached in support of the artillery. lie further notices the assistance he derived from the zeal and activity of Captain Pratt, Assistant Adjutant General, and Tucker, Deputy Assistant Quartermaster-General of his divi sion ; of Captain Cautley, Major of Brigade; of his Aide-de-Camp, Lieutenant Thackwell ; end of Lieu tenant Simpicsa, Sub-Assistant Commissary General. Brigadier-General Campbell speaks in terms of admiration of the 6th brigade, led on by that distinguished officer, Brigadier Pennycuick, and particularly of the pliant exer tions of her Majesty's 24th Foo', under the command of Lieut -Col. Brookes, and the good and steady advance of the 25th and 4.5 th Native Infantry under the command of Lieut.-Col. Corbett and Major Williams. He particularises the undaunted example set to his brigade by Brigadier ll gin, the continued steadiness and gallantry of her Majesty's 61st Regiment, commanded by Lieut.-Col. , under the most trying circumstances the distin / ;sashed conduct of Major Flemyng and the officers of the 36:b Native Infantry and of the 46th Native Infantry, under Major Tudor, as also the able and zealous exertions of the Brigade Major, Capt. Realer. The Brigadier General also brings to notice his obligations to Major Tucker, Assis tant Adjutant General of the army, and to Capt. Goldie and Lieut. Irwin of the engineer', who were sent to hie assis tance, and the cordial and able support which he received from Major Ponsonby, his Assistant Adjutant General; and he particularly mentioned the conduct of Ensign Garden, his Deputy Assistant Quartermaster General, and of Capt. Hay thorn*, his aide-de-camp, further naming Lieut. Grant, of her Majesty's 24th Regiment, Lieut. Powys, of her Majesty's 61st, who attended him as orderly officers, and of Lieut. and Adjutant Shadwell, of her Majesty's 98th, who was with him as a volunteer. Sir Walter Gilbert speaks warmly of the charge led by Brigadier Mountain against a large battery of the enemy, and followed up on his right by Brigadier Godby, and of the subsequent conduct of these officers ; as also of the conduct ' of Major Chester, Assistant Adjutant-General, and Lieut. Galloway, deputy assistant Quartermaster-general of the division; of Lieut. Colt, his aide-de-camp; of Capt. fiber ' will and Lieut. litacdonitell, Taejon of brigade ; and of Capt. , Glesfind and Lieut. W. E. Morton, of the Engineers. The majorgeneral farther mentions the undaunted bravery on this occasion of her Majesty's 28th Regiment, under Lind -Col. Congrave ; the distinguished conduct of the 2nd European Regiment ander Major Steel; and the ' =new in which ;Majors Smith and Way of the WA, mid Major Talbot of the tad Baropeans seconded their able commanders. He also expresses his th anks to Linit.-Colonel Jack, commanding the 30th Native Infantry, Major Bans field, commanding the 56th Native Infantry, who was mor tally wounded; Major Corield, commanding the 31st Na tive Infantry, and Major MCausland, commanding the 70th Native Infantry, for the manner in which they led their regiments into action, naming likewise Captain Nembbard of the 56th, who succeeded to the command of that corps • Captain Dawes, commanding th i e field-battery of the divikon, and Captain Robins of the loth, who acted as his aide-de-camp. The reserve, consisti-g of the 15th Native Infantry and eight companies of the 691 h Native Infantry, was ably handled by Brigadier Penny, well seconded by Lieut.- Colonels Sibbald and Mercer, commanding the corps. The brigadier particularly mentions the steady conduct of the rifle company of the 69th. under Capt. Sizemore, and sh knowledges the services of Capt. Macpherson, his major of brigade and Brevet-Captain Morris, of the 20th Native rafeatri, who attended him as orderly officer. Brigadier General Tennant, eommanding the artillery division, rendered me every aid, and presided over the noble arm of which he is the head mmt creditably to him self, and most beaeflclelly to the service.

The following is from a correspondent M this capital: CALCUTTA, JAN. 20, 1849. I am induced to address you on the subject ' , of the fear and agitation into which the European in habitants of Calcutta are now in from the dread of a visit from the Nepaulese, and if they really are intent on sacking Calcutta or the provinces, there is posi tively no available force to oppose to them. The Nepaulese are said to be 60,000 strong, well armed and equipped, and are now close to, or probably while I write this, have already crossed, our frontier. Oar native population in this city is 600,000, to a man ready to raise their hands against us to free their country. What think you of our rulers leaving the rich metropolis of India literally unprotected ? So great is the want of troops here, that the authorities have interdicted the embarkstien of the invalids for England. On the morning of the 10th inst , the Tenasserim steamer was despatched hence to Madras for troops, to bring up as great a number as the vessel could possibly convey, and in light marching order : her return may be expected in three days from this. I regret to say that it is a well-known fact that a great number of Sikhs and other spies are in Calcutta even now, and that large quantities of arms and am munition have been secretly conveyed from here for the use of the enemy. Within the last three weeks Mr. M'Cann, the superintendent of police, and a party of his men, seized in two native vessels, a few miles above Calcutta, fourteen pieces of artillery, seven in each boat, carefully concealed and covered with grain. By whom these guns were shipped remains a mystery. The government are on the qui rive, and are taking every precaution. That they are in pose, mien of in formation of serious import there is no question ; but everything is done to allay the fears of the timid. The government have had a party at work for several days past dismounting the whole of the artillery and mortars taken from the Sikhs in the last war. These guns, since their arrival here, have been lying in the Ordnance-yard, not one hun dred yards from the riverside, and adjoining the high road, without a guard or sentry over them, and the pieces placed in a position to be readily and easily carried eff, without the least fear of interruption. If the Goorka chief be disposed to violate our ter ritory he will find a hearty welcomu from the natives, and but few troops to oppose him or his troops in their march here ; and we may awake ere long with the enemy knocking at the very gates of Fort Wil liam; but I do not think that the wily chief will venture down here. I see nothing to prevent his marching into and ravaging Tirhoot, Puraneah, or even Die spore (all fertile sugar-gro wing d ist ricts), and here he can march backwards and forwards and sack these districts as he pleases, and return to his hill-fastnesses before we could catch him. _ It is a fact that nowhere from Dinapore to Puranesh, and from thence to Assam (travelling N. and E.), and from Dinapore, southwards, to Calcutta, and thence eastward, is there a regiment of infantry that could be spared to strengthen any field force that might be required, nor have we the immediate means of fording the nucleus of any such force. The troops at Dinapore (abaut 3,000) must stacd fast to keep Nepaul in check. The troops at Barrack pore and Dum Dam (say .5,000) are required to pro tect Calcutta and garrison Fort William, and in which at this instant there are only 300 men. The troops at Bernhampore (say 1,000) cannot move, and are no more than sufficient for local duties. The Bhaulgulpore Hill Rangers, reduced from twelve com panies to six—lees than 600 men in all, more than half of whom are away on treasure parties and other detached duty. The Hauzareebaugh men do not exceed 1,000 or 1,050, including guns and the Ras serah cavalry. At g Segawlie the 4th Irregular Cavalry does not exceed 600. At or near Benares you cannot master 2,600, including the artillery. At Gotuckpore, in cluding the regiments of native infantry, artillery, and irregular cavalry, about 1,500 more. At Mires pore and Jaunpore about 800, Sheckawattee batta lion ; and at Allshabad about 1,000 men, including all larms and recruits, but none of all these can move 'from their posts. The most unprotected parts in case of irruption of the Nepaulese would be Tirhoot and Puraneah, where there are a few detached Bhaulgulpore hill-rangers. These ought to be immediately strengthened by rais ing the corps to its old complement of 12 companies ; but, better still, make a brigade of it, which would be easily done, and with a few more officers it would protect the frontiers of Tirhoot and Parauesh, and, not to be forgotten, Darjeeling also, the pewee leading to which are easily guarded if they are forthcoming. But better still, in addition, raise a local corps in Tirhoot, and another in Puraneah, to be officered and partially manned by planters and their assistants, with an adjutant and a few sergeants from the Igoe. Most of the planters' coolies would make good eoldlere, and, with aid from the Bhaulgulpore corps, in the way of havildars and naiks, would soon be very efficient militia. There are several retired officers and soldiers at Darjeeling, who could immediate* raise and drill five or six ammonia, which, with the convalescent depot there, and the local corps of sapper and miners, would be a sufficient defence for the dation, if sup ported by Paranesh and Bhaulgulpore, in case of emer gency. I do not think that there is any absolute necessity for all this at present, but, as a measure of precaution, I think the government ought to be pre pared to protect the districts now at the mercy of the "Nepaul hunting party." Undoubtedly to invade the East India Company's territories would eventually be the ruin of the amid power in Newel ; for who can doubt what the ulti mate result would be ? But is it right that we should tempt a barbarous power to invade our territories by leaving several hundred miles of frontier wholly un defended, and resting its safety on the good faith of Nepaul. I am quite certain that Tirhoot, Farewell, and Darjeeling, and perhaps linngpoor, and Dina pure too (if required) would come forward and very soon ra'se sufficient local corps ; if the government, only expressed its wish to that effect, and lent its aid. I can answer for one of these districts and think I might safely do so for all of them. Vbe Court.

The following address to the people of London has been issued by the council of the above asso ciation : Unrivalled in population, wealth, and intelli tenet —its in dividual sympathies always enlisted on the aide of progress— London, the first to suffer from the ovils of misgovernment, has usually, and with a few brilliant exceptions, been the last to unite for their extinction. To remove this r.'proach—to collect ejul combine the scattered and slumbering elements of political pewee which abound in the metropolis, in aid of the gathering force of public opinion in the provinces —to create, for the achievement of financial and parliamentary storm, a legal, powerful, and comprehensive organisation— constitute the end and aim of this association. Strictly con stitutional in its objects, the agencies employed will be such only as are recognised and permitted by the law. Its first efforts will be directed to strengthen the hands of the people's party in the Howe of Commons, and array public opinion in .id of the removal of obstschs which stand at the very thres hold of progress. Its practical character will be found 'in the assistance it will be enabled to afford to the existing machinery, established for watching over and conducting the regiotration of liberal voters resident in the metropolitan counties, cities, and boroughs, combined with the adoption of an efficient plan by which its members may become freeholders and voters. Although deeply impressed with the conviction that no great change tending to lessen or destroy the exclusive immunities enjoyed by the privileged 'lames will to permitted, until the portals of the constitu tion are eutfici.ntly widened to admit that large portion of our fellow-subjects who are not more unwisely than unjustly excluded ; yet, feeling that the burdens under which the ' industry of the country is daily groaning, and the mis ' chievous effects produced upon all classes by the present unequal and visciously contrived system of taxation, are evils which require prompt attention and imme diate remedy, the agitation in favour of financial re form will receive at the hands of the association its willing and vigorous co-operation. While, however, cor dielly uniting our exertions with those of our fellow-reformers for the attainment of financial ameliorations, the great ques tion of pailiamentary reform will not be suffered to remain in abeyance. The wisdom of timely c needing modifications In the political system, to meet the altered circumstances by the incressing . number, wealth, and intelligence of the people, has been singularly instanced by the fact that while Europe has been convulsed with the throes of rem)- , lotion, the storm which has swept away dynasties and govern ments, ruined commerce, and destroyed credit, has passed over this country, leaving its instiutions, its property, and its great interests, comparatively unscathed. It cannot be doubted that the enlightened policy which conceded the two great measures, the Reform Act and free trade, has reaped its rich fruits in the general tranquillity of the country, the stability of its credit, and the extent of its resources. The necetaity of adopting a similar policy at this moment will be urged upon the legislature with continuous earnestness. Such a measure of parliamentary reform will be asked for as will fairly entitle the people to look for its fruits in a large extension of the franchise and the comploe independence of its exercise—the means of education placed within the reach of all—the extinction of monopolies, unlimited freedom of commerce, and the total abolition of exclusive privileges—an untaxed and unfettered pre's—the removal of all undue influences from the House of Commons—public appoint,. ments thrown open to talent, integrity, and fitness, instead ef, as now, the price which the government of the day pays for active support or hostility forborne—and the reformation of all those abuses in our political and social system which have been too long upheld. The machinery which the emaciation will put in motion will be of the sim plest character ; a president and a council selected from the members will constitute the governing body. The efficiency end power of the association can alone be found in the num ber and the earnestness of its members. The nucleus of a powerful political organisation is now formed ; it remains with the reformers of the metropolis to vindicate themselves from the chars" of indifference to the great interests which are involved in the ascendancy of cheap and responsible go vernment, by giving to the people's cause the inestimable advantages which result frem the combined power of union and numbers. _ . By order of the Council, J0911t7.11 WAI.MSLET, President. All persons who shall annually subscribe le. or upwards wGI rec.eive cards of membership, entitling them to be present at all meetings of the association; and the council will he composed of such members se shall subscribe ten pounds or more yearly, and such other members as shall be elected by the council for the time being. WRECK OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP.--NEARLY TWO HUNDRED LIVES LOST. We have to record the total loss of a large emigrant ship on the Long-surds, on the Essex coast, with nearly two hundred souls on board. It took place during the tem peetuotts weather on Wednesday last. The'gale commenced m the early tart of Wednesday morning, the wind blowing from the S.W. The violence of the storm continued to in crease till between 6 and 7 o'clock in the eveuing, cresting the greatest dismay along the coast. A heavy snow storm followed and lasted till midnight. During Thursday news reached Harwich of several vessels having been wrecked on the Lor4; Auld. The first tidings communicated the lees of a Dutch Indiamen named the DP*, Captain Laws, bound from Antwerp to Ilavanne, the crew of which (with the exception of one poor fellow) bad been picked up h her Majesty's revenue cutter, Scout, and Madill at Harwich. A large schooner was never heard of, having shared a similar fate on the same sands, with the loss of every soul of her crew. Seven or eight total lows were also reported es having happened on the adjacent shoals, and it was hoped Mat these formed the extent of the disasters. Late on Friday night, however, her Majesty'. reve nue cutter, Petered, brought the melancholy intelligence of the loss of an emigrant ship oa the saps sands. The ill fend vessel was the barque Floridian, 500 tons burden, Capt. R. D. Whitmore, master, from Antwerp. She was the property of Mr. E. D. Hulbert, of New York, and had been chartered by a German company for the convey ing°, of emigrants to the United States. She was announced to sail from Antwerp on last Thursday week, but for some meson she was delayed till the following Sunday, when she left thatoort, and proceeded down the river. She, however, did not finally take her departure from the coast until Tues day last. The number of emigrants that had taken a by her at Antwerp, and had come on board be ore her weighing anchor, is stated to have been from 170 to 200. They comprised young respectable German agricultural la bourers with their wives and families, and many various grades of mechanics pmongst the number on board were from 50 to 60 'women, and between 20 and 30 children. The ship was worked by a crew of nearly 20, part of whom were Englishmen, a surgeon being on board to ""; attend the emigrants.
