ARRIVAL OF TKB LUCLNOW HEROINES AT CALCUITA. CALCt'TTA, law. it A Gazette Extraordinary, published an Wednes day last, informed the people of Calcutta of the arrangements which government had ordered for the eiceptiou of the illustrious heroine. and their children, who, after undergoing unprecedented hard ships during a siege of four months, have finally been relieved by Sir Cohn Campbell, and sent down to Calcutta in the steamer Madras. On Friday, the Bth, at 3 p.m., two guns from the ramparts of Fort William announced that the Madras was flossing Acheepore, and almost everybody that had bone or carriage rode down to Prinesp's Ghat, where it was intimated the pamengers would land. The Madras having. however, a beery up-country boat in tow, made, notwithstanding the tide in her favour, bat slow progress, and as it soon became evident that she , mild not come up ere the night set in, a telegraphic message was despatched to the commander of the steamer to anchor below Carden-reach, and to come up next morn ing. At 0 o'clock on Saturday morning a crowd of people assembled at Prinseps Chat, but a dense fog delayed the arrival of the Madras, and it was not until a quarter to eight that she could be sighted. A royal salute of 21 guns from the ramparts of Fort William announced her arrival, and other salutes followed from the men-of-war in the river. All vessels in the liver, with the exception of the American ships close to Prinsep's Ghat, were dressed out with all their flags and presented a very impos ing sight. Along the steps from the Ghat down to the water's edge was formed a sort of gangway, guarded by policemen, and along the whole red car peting was laid out, such as it is customary to use on state occasions. At last the Madras arr,ved off the Ghat, but owing to some cause or other considerable delay took place before the passengers could be lauded ; the public in the meantime looking on in stern silence, as if afraid lest even now some accident might happen to those, whose escape fro al the hands of a barbarous and blood-thirsty enemy was decreed by a merciful Providence. The whole scene partook of a solemnity rarely witnessed, and, indeed, the expression on the faces of the bystanders betokened universal sym pathy for tholes they were about to welcome to the hospitable City of Palaces. Mr. Beadon, the secre tary of the Home Department, on b e h a l f of govern ment ; the Hon. Talbot, private secretary to the Governor-General, 0;0cl:toilet Lord Canning; and Dr. Leckie, as secretary to the Relief Committee, went down to the water's edge to receive the ladies. A sudden rush towards the river, a throng ing towards the gangway, and a slight whisper of voice., indicated that the landing had begun. Cheers were given at first, but only slowly responded to, people evidently being too much occupied with their own refection, to think of ch ering ; but as the ladies and children proceeded up, people doffed their hats almost mechanically, silently looking on as the heroines passed up. At this moment another ship in the harbour fired • salute, hut it did not sound joyfully ; it appeared rather like minute guns in re membrance of those whom widows and orphans were Dow passing in solemn review before us. The black dresses of most of the ladies told the tale of their bereavement, whilst the pallid face*, the downcast looks, and the slow walk, bore evidince of the great sufferings they must have undergone loth in mind and body. And yet how thankful mast we be thst they have been spared other trials, in comparison to which death itself would be relief. As they passed, a chaos of m.d recollections forced itself upon our mind, and we asked—where are those who, for the sake of saving English women and children from dishonour and death, have willingly sacrificed their own lives? Where is the illustrious Havelock' where the heroic Neill? where so many others that have stretched forth the arm for the rescue of helpless women and innment children ? Alas: they are no more; but their names will live for ever in the heart of every true Briton. And, though there is no monu ment to mark the place where they sleep the ever lasting sleep, their blood has mark: d in indelible ink in the bosom of their surviving brethren the word " retribution." The solemn precession thus passed en, and was handed into carnage' which conveyed them to their temporary home. Home, did we say? It sounds almost I:.th mockery to call the solitary 4 , 00ni of the widow and her orphan by that name. Though the government Ga:etto intimated that the Governor-General's state barges and carriages would be in attendance, by some oversight none of them came up to the Ghat, and we confess that in our bumble opinion the presence of Lord and Lady Canning on such an occa si on would have been as de sirabie as gratifying to all. THE LUCKNOW REFUGE'S& 11111ACT/1 /BOX Lamm OF A TOVNO OmCtt WHO Wk 6 IDETZILLT IVOI/SDED DCOLIO TOR 111202 OF LATINOIR, TO MI FAZILIIII. Dinapore, Dec. 28. I think my last letter was from Allahabad, giving you porno account of our troubles on the way from Cewupore after the relief of I.acknow and defeat of the enemy at the latter place by the Commander-in- Chi: the whole, I think the journey, although a rough one, has done me no harm. We found every thing very comfortable, and every one most kind and attentive to tui on our arrival at Allahabad, and we remained there ten days. Lieutenant H. and I intended going down country by desk, bat the day we proposed to start an order came up to atop any more ulcers travelling in this way; we were obliged. therefore, to wait for the steamer, and even an board could not manage to get a cabin ; rather than wait for one in the next we took deck passage. and started on the ISth. As yet we have only got so far on eta voyage. We remained one day at Denim, and while there I took a walk through that famous city, reputed to be the wealthiest in India, and noted at present for being the hotbed of conspiracy and treason, at the same time assuming to be the most religious. Every third or fourth konse is a Hindu° temple or a mosque dedicated to some uaknowu god. It was very ridiculous to see the wretched natives prostrate themselves before their images of wood and stone, an i place garlands around their necks. This is also a great emporium for Brahmin bulls—sacred animals in the eyes of the Hindoce. In the narrow streets where two persons can scarcely walk abreast, if you meet one of these bulls you must give nay. To attempt to strike the beast or drive Wm Ix fore yen weld immediately rsiae a mob, and you would run a gond chance of being pelted out of the city, if not worse treated. Next to Rename we came to Garrepore, !and there learned that about twelve miles down the river the water was so shallow, that nines steamers had stuck fast in the mud, arid were unable to proceed. We remained three days at Gleeepore, in cluding Christmas-day. Most of our people went out to dine, but I did not leave the steamer; I had a had dinner, and felt very miserable. All the pas sengers, chiefly poor witlows of officers and orphans, were in black ; not even a bottle of wine to be had worth drinking to absent friends. Notwithstanding the fate of the nine steamers, we started to make trial of the dangerous position, and, strange to say, after sticking fast and getting off again, two or three timer, we paned all the steamers, and got over the difficulty right gallantly. We reached Bazar last night, and hope to arrive at Dinapore this eveuimr. No change hos taken place in the character of my wound since I lost wrote, either for better or worse. I fear it will be necessary to undergo an operation ; there is a large piece of loose bone in the interior of the wound, and the aperture has closed up so much that it will be diflkult for it to work its way out to the surface without surgical aid. We have sixteen of the ladies of the garrison of Iticknow on board, and thirty children ; they are nearly all the widows or orphans of officers who fell in the defence of that place ; the greater number of these poor things are without a second pair'of shoes or stockings, or change of clothing of any kind. Dec. 29.—Here we are at Dinapore, and intend going on again to-morrow morning. No news, ex cept that the day before yesterday the troops here went out to Chupra, about 14 miles off; licked the rebels most delightfully, and took four large guns. No lose on our side. Jan. 45.-1 now write from Coolna; we have had a fair passage up to this time, considering the low water in the river, bat we left the Ganges, I may say, two days ago, and are now in one of its small branches. I think three days will laud us in Cal cutta : I am now anxious to reach the end of our journey. My poor head has been constantly probed to get out that piece of bone, and also the musket ball, without effect till yesterday, when the refrac tory bit of skull was at last extracted. The leaden mark of the ball!' evident on the Sat surface. It was a great matter to get it out, 'out I am thankful to say the surgeon al s o di scovere d t h e ball, and hopesin a few days to remov e it also ; then the wound will speedily heal up. But I must undergo an operation for this after I reach Calcutta. _ _ _ Calcutta, Jan. 9. We arrived safely here this morning, and were received by the authorities and all the European in habitants with the utmost enthusiasm. A salute was fired from the fort ; the men-of-war also ea hated, and all the vessels in the harbour were dressed out in flags, according to general order of the Go vernor in Council. A crimson carpet was laid from the steamer to the carriages which were in waiting to take us off to most comfortable quarters. The cheering as we passed up the carpet wee vociferous : our reception was altogether of the most gratifying character. THE EXPRE3S. WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 17, 1858. IMPORTANT PROCEEDINGS UNDER THE OONZON LODGING-NOM .ACT. (From lionch.) Mr. John Bull, koo rof a common lodging house, auseh frequented by was charged with various castes ander the Common Lodging-louse Aot, and gene rally with keeping a disorderly house, and harbouring not*. rlomiy bed oharacten. The principal witness against him was a Frenchman, formerly a lodger is the house, who gave his name Chula Louis hapoleoa. The witness stated that Mr. Bull, the landlord of the house, systematically violated the proAelou of the act, which requital him to open the windows of his rooms fora attain number of hours daily, to turn down the bed-clothes, and merrily to keep up &close mtrveillanos over the inmates of his house, and ventilate everything In the te occupied by lodgers.lie farther stated that :71:r:the act bound the landlord to give notice to the police of all dangerous came of contagious or eFddeenio dis orders, and of all attacks arising from such disorders that might occur on the premise., with a view at once to the re moval to safe custody of those in whom they might break out, and the preservation of three they might attack, Mr. Bull had been in the habit of allowing such cases to get to a height without informing the police, and of permitting his lodgers to associate indiscriminately with persons suffering from the most dangerous and contagious disorders, , partico.- larly what was celled in France "La Firers Rouge.' Ma Magistrate wished to know if this was the same as scarlet fever and begged the witness to be a little more pre cise in Ilia s tatements, and to express himself in English, as he seemed to know the language well. The witness said he did, having long resided in England, in Mr. Bull's house. He had been a special constable here In 1848, shortly after which he left England, seeing an opsthg for an active young man in France, where he bad sineheld various responsible situations, and was now earn ing my high wages. La Fiery Rouge was an epidemic which had made great ravages in Franco, and was much worse than the worst kind of scarlet fever known In Eng land. It was a highly inflammatory diocese of the most con- Mewls character, and attended with delirium. The Magistrate inquired what pert of the body it attacked P The witness said it generally attacked the upper extremi ties, at the crown. The to inquired if the witness warn a medical prac tidos& P _ The witness said be bad practised in Prance for the last nine years, five of them on his own account, and had parti cularly devoted himself to the treatment of this very dis order. He believed his treatment was considered highly successful. It connoted in letting blood freely, followed by lowering and suppressive treatment, and the strictest separa tion and close confinement of the sufferers. Change of air, too, he had found useful, particularly removal to hot climate; like Algeria. Ile considered Cayenne almost a specific, and bad administered it in large doses, especially during the vary severe outbreak of the disorder in 1862. All movement was dangerous, and all mental exertion. He considered the worst oases were those which had originated among Mr. Bull's lodgers, who often brought the disease into France. Comi dared Mr. Bull guilty under the act, for not bringing these mass to the knowledge of the police. The witness was closely cross-examined by the defendant. Admitted he had several times been a lodger in the de fendant's house; declined to state what his means of sub sistence were while in this country. Might have been charged with attempts at burglary at Boulogne and Stras bourg. Would not say he had not been tried fora murder arising out of the former charge. Would not swear he had not been imprisoned on that charge. Might have expressed strong opinions to Mr. Balton the subject of this act during the time he lodged with him. Would not say he had not told him the police had no business on his premises. The windows of his room were generally kept shut. Never com tined then. Wu not in good circumstances at that time. ed • ht have borrow money of Mr. Bull. Would not swear ha ad not left in his debt. Might have had La Freers Rouge himself ; had associated freely with persona suffering from it. Might have told Mr. Bull it was not dangerous • knew better now. Did not see what that had to do with the present charge. Declined to state whether he bad made any com munication to the police. Had friends in the police now, and considered it an honour. Thought Mr. Bull's house ought to be shut up, and his license as a common lodging hour keeper taken away, for the safety of society at large. Was vary much interested for society at large. Considered he had saved society at large. Was not aware if that opinion was mend, but a day seldom passed without his being told soby persons in the highest positions in France. Mr. Bull called several witnesses to speak to the character of his house, including en old Austrian of the name of Met ternich (whose cautious and roundabout way of giving his evidence much amused the court), several members of a family of the name of Bourbon, whose father had lodged with Mr. Bull under - the name of Smith, and a host of Hun • miens, Italians, Poles, and Frenchmen, who ;moved that Mr. Bull complied strictly with the terms of the set, and that they had no complaint to make of the house. Several members of the police force also gave evidence. It ap peared on croes•examination that the informer had for several ymn_past been in the habit of making complaint against Mr. Bull's house, and had endeavoured to induce the police to enter the premises in disguise. Ile had had the act explained to him, and had always been told that any charge of violation of an of its provisions would be strictly looked into. There mig ht be a grudge on the informer's past against Mr. Bull. The Magistrate, after careful consideration of the act, said It did not appear to him that the charges were made out. There was no proof that the defendant knew of the existence of the alleged cases of the very serious disorder deposed to by the principal witness. Mr. Bull was not bound to inform the police of suspected cases. He had no power to detain his Wgius, or to prevent their leaving his house. All powers of an inquisitorial character required to be exercised cau tiously in this country. He thought it 11l became the witness, who, by his own account , eeemed to be under considerable obligations to Mr. Bull, to bring such a charge as the present on such loose and unreliable foundation. Mr. Bull would leave this court without any stain on his character. The magistrate saw no grounds whatever for taking away the license of the house. On the contrary, it seemed to ham to be very well conducted, and It wee a great blessing to many distressed foreigners that they had such a place to resort to. The decision of the worthy magistrate was loudly cheered, and Mr. Bull on leaving the court was warmly greeted by his numerous lodgers. The witness, Napoleon, was allowed to leave the court by the private entrance in • cab, as there seemed a considerab le disposition among the crowd assembled in the neighbourhood to handle him roughly.

TRANSPORT OF TROOPS AND STORES TO iiffie. Yesterday the select committee of the House of Commons met for the first time to inquire as to the transport of troops end stores to India (appointed on the moti o n o f Mr Ds Lacy Evans). The committee consists of Sir De Lacy Evans (In the chair), _Lord Go:tench, Sir J. Pak' Lord Stanley, Mr. Craw f or d, Mr. Denby Seymour, Mr. Captain Vivian, Mr. Human, Mr. Willoughby, Sir B. Colebrook% Mr. Byng, and Sir J. Elphinstone. The committee were a long time engaged in private &- cordon. On the room being opened, Mr. P. Melvin, Secretary to the Military Department of the East India House, waa called as the first witness. He said that in February, last year, then was a deficiency of about 5,000 men. There had been a number of men with drawn in 1854, and remoastranoes had been addressed to Lord Dalhousie on the subject The events in the North Western Provinces, including the outbreak at Meerut, oc curred on the 10th of May, and as the communication by telegraph was then complete, the intelligence would be re ceived by Lord Canning and Lord Elphivatone the following day. Lord Canning sent word that he did not con sider it to send out a steamer. The news was received bythe ourt of Directors on the 27th of June, and immediately the directors asked her Majesty's government to place at their disposal four regiments to be sant out, in addi• tion to four regiments of infantry and two cavalry regiments which wen then on their way. The Board of Control in stantly acquiesced in the application. Lord Canning lost tan days by not despatching a steamer with the news . E ver since 1844 there had been a deficiency of European troops in India, and the government promised to make up the defi ciency as soon as po,sible. The troops were sent out by s li ships, because was it considered there were not saw dent of colds at the Mauritius and other places to facilitate the journey by steam vessels. It was decided to seat out four regiments of infantry in June; but two of those regiments were intended to supply the deficiency of two regiments withdrawn during the war in the Crimea. That was the time the Court of Directors first thought it necessary to increase the force. They were not sent away for ten days after the time appointed. No communications had taken place between him sad the Court of Directors as to sending out troops by the overland route. It was always the prunes to send out troops by sailing vessels, except in ono case when they had to send out a steamer to ply between Madras and Calcutta, and as It was empty, they need it to and out a body of 300 troops by it, but that was completely an exceptional case. A remonstrance was made in 1854 sealant the with drawal of troops from India for the Crimea. When the demand was mad. fur more troops in June, the government of India were informed that they might retain the troops that were about to be relieved. The 29th of Juno was the first day when the East India Company received a demand for additional troops. The chief reason why troops were tient by sailing ships was thedifferenos of expense; the difference between steam and sailing ships was 601. and IW. a man. There was a deficiency of two regiments in 1864, and they were not replaced till 18.57. The troops were not withdrawn from the Crimea until the end of 1866, for although the peace with Russia occurred in August, the treaty of Paris was nct signed until the end of the year. It would have been unwise to end out troops in the winter, as they would arrive in India at an unhealthy season. Under ordi nary circumstance% the latest period that troops should be sent out to Bengal would be in August. Lord Elphinsigne offered to Lord Canning to send a steamer to Aden to catch the previous nteueer, so that that vessel might have brought the new, to Eoglend of the outbreak of the mutiny in India, but Lord Canning de. aimed to employ it, as it would have been attended with the expense of 4001. or 6001. Six requisitions were made by the Court of Directors to the Board of Control, for additional regiments to be sent to India. No delay had occurred in making these requisitions, and three of them were made en tirely by the Court of Directors without any application for them from India. There was delay in complying with those requisitions on the part of the India Board. In February, the number of European troops in India was 40,000, end they were then short of 6,000 men. About 4,000 men were withdrawn from Persia. Up to the 29th of June, he, as to the Military Department of the East India Cern- P e i er ny e , 4 ll no anxiety about the mutiny. _ No part of th e forag sent to Pend& was withdrawn f r om Bengal. A letter was addrened by the Board of Directors to the Booed of Control, on the 31st of August, respect ing the conveyance of troops by the overland route. There was no danger in sending out troops in September or October, but it was considered desirable generally that troop should be sent out so as to give them time to setth before the hot weather set in. It was desirable that they should get there in the cold weather, so that they might become acclimatised before the hot weather set in. 'Witness could not say when they first began to make arrangements for sending troops through Egypt, as that did not come within his department; bat he knew that they began to male arrangements for sending them by the overland route in September, and that route had been partially adopted since. He did not consider that it would have been prudent to send troops from the Crimea to India, u they would have arrived there in a disordered state, and would have required ,to be equipped. There was always a deficiency of 1,000 men at that particular season. At the time of the outbreak in India thus was a deficiency of 8,000 men. Mr. Mason, Secretary to the Marina Department of the But India-house said, with reference to the employment of stesm vessels in the transport of troops to India, it was decided on the Ist of July that two regiments should go out by per mailing ships and two regiments by screw steamers. Hevindicated generally the arrangements which had been made by the Company in connexion with her Majesty's government, but stated that as there was but a small supply of coal at the depots it was not considered sate to send troops in any great numbers by Mean ships.

The directors hid secordlngly now called the shareholders together, for the of rescinding th e resolution of the general meeting :f w ar ;let July, 1849, which restricted the holding of ordi stay general meetings to the months of July or August, and also to transact other special burner. Mr. W. T. Dojne, a gentkenan of high professional attainments, had been ap pointed principal engineer of the company in Ceylon. Ac companW by a orefidly-selected sta ff , he bad arrived in the colony, and had commenced an examination of the country through which the line would pros, the result of which would be reported to the next meeting. The late respected chairman, Mr. Archibald H mete, had been succeeded by Mr. Anstruther, formerly colonial secretary in Ceylon ' • and Sir J. D. H. Elphinatone, Bart, M P., had been nominated to the seat in the direction recent by the death of Mr. Hestia. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of this report, Informed the shareholders that a sum of 40,0001. had been deposited on 40,000 shares, and that the balance remaining, after a due appropriation of certain sums (which would be mentioned in the financial statement at the next half- yearly meeting), amounted to 14,6201. On a former occasion it wee proposed that a committee of management should be appointed to conduct the operations of the company in Ceylon ; and, the question being left to the consideration of the directors, they had come to the conclusion that such an appointment would be inconsistent with their contracts with the govern ment of the colony, and against the system prevailing there on the subject of railways. Moreover, a local board of ma nagement would be actually useless, inasmuch as the supreme control in such matters was vested In the governor himself. At the same time their operations were being carried on in a wesesser which had secured the moat perfect confidenoe of the serener; and they were now proceeding to appoint a local agent le accordance with their deed of settlement. The report was adopted, and reeoltuions were pared andeering the holding of the ordinary meetings as recces iredad therein, anointing two auditors with salaries of 16 a year ark sanctioning an increase in the rate of fteen 6 to epee oat., and agreeing to certain altera tion le the ad sollimeat with respect to the transfer of Arm The rassetig thus soperaid.

This case came oresTpen --- leveraTpe praying the com ewinding-up of the ohne company, or In the alterna t7at two liquidators might be added to those already chosen by the shareholders of the company in the process of • voluntary winding-up. The Vice-Chancelloi, in giving judgment, said that upon these petitions the first question raised was whether the com pany could be registered and wound-up under the Banking Act of 1867, Inasmuch *a it had stopped payment before registra tion under that act took place. It had been urged that, hay ing stopped payment, it was a banking company no longer, and could not therefore be re -registered. But he thought Wit the mere stoppage of payment did not put an end to • the carrying on of the business of bankers. The bank was still a banking company, although it had stopped payment. To the argument, therefore, that the company was not a bank ing company he could not attribute any weight. The next question was this, whether, there being a jurisdiction in the court, any, and if any, what order should be made P Ought there to be a voluntary or compulsory winding-up P With one exception, all parties before him concurred in saying that, provided there were satisfactory Nokia- tors, a voluntary winding-up would be the beet course to be followed. In this view his Honour entirely concurred. This, too, seemed to be the leaning of the legialature,llll kw in the later of the acts, the amendment act of 1857 further facilities for voluntary wind e b r a T g ei u i s were enacted. Indeed it seemed that in the view of the I ature a voluntary winding-up ought always to be . This of course supposed that properly constituted Fi r cilidators were appointed. Now the petitions originally presented, and which asked a voluntary winding-up, pro posed three parties for the office of liquidators. To these It was now urged that the court should add the names of Mr. Williams (the managing clerk of Olyn and Co.) and Mr. Coleman (the accountant). The question, however, arose at the outset as to whether the court had any power to appoint liqoidators. The act stated that the liqdtors should be chosen in a meeting of shareholders, and said nothing what ever es to the appointment of liquidator by the court. There was, however, no doubt but that the court might make ft a term of its authorising any voluntary winding-up that certain persons should be liquidators. There might be a further question as to whether the court could remove liqui dators, but with that he had now nothing to do. It was sufficient that, practically speaking, the court felt itself able to enforce the appointment of liquidators. What, then, ought he to do in th is case? It bad been suggested that the o pond liquidators, being local men, might be warned in their judgments by persons of influence in their own neighbourhood. It had also been thrown out that it would be well that these gentlemen should have some competent person, like Mr. Coleman, to aid them and keep their heads in the way they should go. No doubt the proposed liquidators were not gentlemen who could dissect books of accounts with the ability of Mr. Coleman, but it really appeared that there was no need of such special knowledge on the part of the liquidators. These gentlemen must engage socountants, and they needed only to understand, as intelligent and burinete like men, the ordinary run of mercantile knowledge. It was said that Mr. Coleman had great experience in the winding-up of concerns ; but here, again, it did not appear that any great experience was required to suable the liquida tors to determine whether or not any, end if any what actions should be brought. It was then objected that these gentlemen were appointed liquidators by the share holders, and therefore that they would not properly represent tho creditors. But the statute expressly enacted that liquid ators should be nominated by the shareholders. And upon the evidence itself the result appeared to be that the creditors themselves had not bean altogether neglected. When, too, it was seen who were the liquidators, his Honour certainly thought that the creditors bad net been overlooked. One liquidator was a creditor ; another was a shareholder, who was also a creditor ; and the third was a barrister, who was neither the one nor the other. In fine, he could not acquiesce in the objections to the nominated liquidators. Now with regard to those proposed to be ap pointed in addition, he must say, in the tirstrplace, that seeing Mr. Williams stood in the position of clerk to a prin cipal creditor, he thought that be ought not to be a liqui dator. And with regard to Mr. Coleman, it was to be re marked, that that gentleman was a man in large practice, fully occupied, and resident at a distance from the locality in which the banking business had been carried on. It was also objectionable that a large number of liquidators should be appointed, for it would greatly impede their unity of action. Under :all the circumstances, he thought that the proper order to be made would be—that so much of the peti tions as prayed a compulsory winding-up stand over; that a voluntary winding-up take place subet to the terms that no action against a shareholder or calls be compromised without the leave of the court, and that no action against any creditor for a sum exceeding 2,000!. be compromised without the like leave. In conclusion, be would threw out the suggestion that if a committee of creditors for facilitating the winding-up of the altairs of this company were formed, he would at all times, upon proper application, listen to any representation which such a committee might think it neces sary to make.
