From Baron Liebig to Mr. Allsopp. " The specimens of your Pale Ale rent to me afforded me another opportunity of confirming its valuable qualities. lam myself an ad mirer of this beverage, and my own experience enables me to re commend it, in accordance with the opinion of the most emilient English physicians, as a very agreeable and efficient tonic, and as a general beverage, both for the inva'id and the robust. " JUSTUS LIEBIG. " Giessen, May 6, 1852." That the Public might form a correct judgment of the inten tion of that eminent authority, Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS have republished Baron LIEBIG'S Letter to Mr. ALLSOPP in extenso, In all the London Daily Journals, as well as in other Papers, copies of which Lettee, and of the very numerous and continually increas ing Professional Testimonials in favour of their PALE and BITTER ALE, may be obtained on application at the Brewery, Burton-on- Trent ; or at their Establishments in London, Liverpool, Manches ter, Dudley, Glasgow, Dublin, Birmingham, and elsewhere. [T. No. 4.] B ARON LIEBIG'S OPINION of " PALE ALE." The prominence given to the name of Baron Liebig in placards and a dvertisements will have created the impression that he coveted a celebrity inconsistent with the dignity of his station in the scientific world. Having learned that he had attained such undesirable no toriety, Baron Liebig has requested the publication of the following letter, with the view of intorming, the public of the motives which dictated his communication to Mr. Allsopp :-- " The question of adulteration by strychnine, which has been taken up seriously in England, seemed to me of great importance, and I thought to do some good by aiding to demonstrate the error. If I wished to associate with any individual brewery my remarks on the alleged adulteration of bitter beer with strychnine, it would have been natural to have mentioned anoth er brewery, in which alone, and not in Mr. Allsopp's, I was engaged in investigating the Burton mode of brewing : and it was also in that other brewery that the Bavarian brewers acquired all the instruction they obtained at Bur ton. The admiration I expressed of this beverage in my letter to Mr. Allsopp is advertised in such a manner as to lead to the inference that my praise was exclusively confined to Mr. Allsopp's beer ; this was not the case, my remarks referred to that class of beer.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine bot h in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and Inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

LONDON AND BLACKWALL. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern ; Mr. J. N. Daniell in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. Tile CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, said the affairs of the company were in nearly the same position as when the shareholders last met, a short time ago. They were going on in the old way, progressing steadily and well ; they had had an increase of traffic and a diminution of expenditure, and he believed that every exertion had been made to carry out the best interests of the company. They had hoped to have had the goods traffic on their line at this time, but circumstances over which they had no control had delayed the completion of the Hay don-square junction line, which was to have been finished in June last. The workmen had not been able to complete the warehouses, without which it would have been useless to open the junction line. They were, however, assured that the line and ware houses would be ready to accommodate the goods traffic of the London and North-Western Company on the Ist of October. He had little doubt the whole would be ready for traffic before the end of October next. It was hoped it would be then open, as that was the time of year when their passenger traffic commenced to fall off, and the goods traffic then com ing on would aid their dividend materially. The dividend for the first half of the year was generally less than for the second half, and although at the cor responding period of 1861 they had a dividend of 2s. per share, that did not arise entirely from traffic, fur 3,0001. of it consisted of profit on the sale of shares. - The dividend on the present occasion was from the Pet earnings of the line. He had trusted that the amount would have been further increased by the North'.Western goods traffic, but no doubt they Would derive some benefit from that traffic in the current half-year ; and so soon as the terminus was completed for the accommodation of the Eastern Counties trains at Fenchurch. street they would re ceive a considerable addition to their traffic. With regard to the Tilbury and Southend line, the Black wall Company were defended and guarded in every way from loss of the Gravesend traffic. He believed the addition to their traffic from that source would be very great. Every exertion would be made by the contractors to open the line to Tilbury, opposite Graves end, by the Ist of May next. The extension to Southend would be opened in about twelve months from the present time, although the time sti pulated was eighteen months. So that their present prospect was very good. He might be allowed to mention that the directors were firmly of opinion that their line, as one of five miles in length only, could never be a paying line in itself, and it was for this reason that they had, with the sanction and support of the proprietors, altered the system of working the railway, and done other things with a view to advance the interests of the company and to connect the line with other railways. Their anticipations with regard to dividends had long been deferred, but they were now on the eve of being realised. The exertions of the directors in promoting the welfare of the undertaking had been as zealous as possible, and he believed the shareholders generally were satisfied with those exertions : but that they had not given universal satisfaction was to be seen from a letter which appeared in the Times of that morning, under the signature of " A Poor Debtor."—(Laugh ter.) The writer of that letter impugned the conduct of the directors, who were charged with wasting large sums of money in the construction of a branch to Haydon-square, and in building an extravagant terminus at Fenchurch-street, while the shareholders were obliged to put up with a dividend of 2s. per share. Now he thought the shareholders would agree with him in saying that a person writing to a paper like the Times should, before he attempted to censure a company, at least take the trouble of investigating the truth of the charges he thought proper to bring against them.—(Hear, hear.) The writer of the letter to which he referred might be a " poor debtor," but he was evidently much poorer in intellect and information. The "Poor Debtor's" charge was, that the company had agreed to spend half-a-million of money upon the Haydon-square branch. The fact was that the branch was to cost 76,000/., not one farthing of which would come out of the pockets of the Black wall Comploy—(llcar) and not only would it not cost the proprietors any thing, but the latter would reap a very considerable advantage from the additional traffic it would bring on the line when constructed.—(Hear.) With regard to the Fenchurch-street terminus, the proprietors were thoroughly acquainted with the fact that that terminus was scarcely large enough for the present traffic, and it must, of course, be satis factory to them to know that the enlargement was not to be made with their money ; so that, in short, these excrescences, which the writer in the Times charged them with having undertaken at an enormous expense, would not cost the company anything, while the outlay would greatly jacrease the passenger traffic, and consequently add to the receipts of the railway.—(Hear.) A good in terest was guaranteed on the outlay at the terminus in Fenchurch-street by the Eastern Counties COM saw clearly they would derive considerable pany, and th ere could be no doubt that the latter compa ny advantage from the extra accom modation it wo uld rPnthYem for their passenger traffic. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. HAIG seconded the motion. Mr. PALLISER entered into some statistics with a view to show that the company carried passengers on the line for less than id. each. He arrived at this conclusion from comparing the receipts and number of passengers carried at one period with the amount of receipts and number carried at other periods, and taking the difference in the receipts and in the numbers. The CHAIRMAN explained that the result of Mr. Palliser's calculations were erroneous, inasmuch as would from compared the gro ss receipts and the number of passengers of the Do ck Junction line included in the returns with the net r ecei p ts and number of passen gers included in the returns at another period, in perall passenger a ; and,so far appear muchwictohbehcase the receipts less rec tha e ni t t s r ey w carrying passengers for less than id. there were none Carried under a mere fraction less than Id. ; and that, so far from having rece ived less money, they had re ceived 3,0001. more during the past half-year than at any corresponding period. The Blackwell Railway had boats on one side of it and omnibuses on the other, and the directors were obliged to do the best they could to protect the interests of the company. The sum paid by passengers for single tickets on the railway averaged 4.307 d. each ; for return tickets, 3.154 d. each ; and to and from the steam. boats, 3.497 d. each ; so that the steamboat passengers paid more than the return-tickets on the railway. Mr. PALLISER contended that the steam-boats had taken away their dividend. The CHAIRMAN could not help Mr. Palliser, if he chose to take that view of the case, which was not the fact. - - A PROPRIETOR said they had no right to complain, as the traffic from the steam-boats returned more per passenger that the return traffic on the railway. A discussion then ensued respecting the interest paid on the borrowed money, in the course of which it was stated that it had been reduced from 5 per a c d en v t e . rt t i o se l f a o n r d lo 4 a t s p a e n r d cen ia t a . d , a fo n u d nd tha fe t w the in y di e vB l i: w ou a oa v ol s : who were willing to lend their money at 4 per cent. for so long a period as five or seven years. They had borrowed money from the Bank of England at 4 1 per cent. In answer to a question it was stated that they estimated the Gravesend traffic at between and 9,0001. a-year, which was not to be less when the Tilbury line was opened from traffic. The report was then adopted. Mr. TITS, in reply to a question, stated that it was not the fault of the London and North-Western nor of any other party that the Haydon-square junction line had net been completed. The Blackwell Com. pany had to provide the land, a large bridge had to he built, and the warehouses bad to be altered ; these banlidtme to theother engineer mattersc or ans anyone e ddela isye,ael the delaydtherew was snaos unavoidable. Mr. PALLISER moved a res olution to the effect that in future no steamboats be permittsod to collect the fare for the Blackwell R ailwa y ; that the Blackwell pier be open to all passenger-boats by the payment of pier-dues; that the booking at Fenchurch-street for boat a n d rail be discontinued, and that the boats that make the Blackwall-pier terminus have an allowance only upon the pier due 3. The motion was not seconded, and therefore fell to the ground. A resolution approving of the dividend of 2s. a , share for th e h a lf- year was carried, and , a fter a cordi al , vote of thanks to the Chairman and directors, the meeting separated. EAST INDIAN. The half -yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Old Broad - str eet ; Mr. J. The CHAIRM AN , i n Baxendale in th e c h a i r. The Secretary rea d the repor t, moving the aiopt ion of the re i port, said he was not aware th a t he had anything to state in addition to the report, but he would be glad to answer any questions that might. be put with regard to their affairs. The motion, having been seconded, was put and car ried unanimously. A PROPRIETOR wished to know in what way it was intended to raise the new capital, and whether it was included in their guarantee. He also wished to know when it would be raised. The CEIAIRMAN said he believed the agreement with the East India Company would bring the further sum required to complete the railway under the same guarantee. It was not then possible to say when a further sum would be required, Company had at present 577,00/. in hand. H e thought they would have one or i wo or di na ry meet ings of the company before th e ques ti on w ould come before them. The East I n di a C ompany , h a ving so large a sum in hand, were no t d es i rous o f i n creasing the amount. The last call, a t th e i r reques t, was de layed as long as possible. as the East India The PROPRIETOR wished to know whether a meet ing would be called to consider Mr. Turnbulrs report on the further extension of the line, when it was de cided on by the East India Company to carry out the extension ? The CllA of cou rse , if anyt hi ng s hould arise requ i ring sanction o f th e share h o ld e rs a TI RM A N the said, meeting would be called. The company could not complete 120 miles of railway without further capital. It was probable that a further sum might be required 250,0001., which was alluded to in the report, and t w o ou c l o d m complete e in th a e dd r it a i i o lw railwa y , amount i ng to a b ou t n to the present capital of 1,000,0001.

Mr. J. CATTLEY said, that whatever the amount of additional capital might be, it would be allotted rateably among the shareholders, and the directors would endeavour to obtain the best terms they could from the East India Company for the proprietors when the time came for raising the additional capital. The meeting then separated. The disbursements amounted to 172,816/., and for the corresponding period of 1851 to 152,675/., showing a decrea se in th expenditure of 20,1411.

Consequent upon a this abandonment,. the nominal amount of the ex tension shares . is reduced to 16/. per share, and of the West Riding Union shares to 14/. per share. The mandamus issued by the Court . of Queen's Bench for the formation of the remaining portion of the Man chester and Southport line, in which the company is interested, having been made absolute, it has been determined ! . however reluctantly, to commence the preliminary proceedings con e nected with the purchase of land, in the first instance, hlevr modefor account. e for the line between Wigan and Southport. The order of the Vice-Chancellor's Court, which directed the Great Northern Company . to account for all traffic belonging to them which might pass over the lines of the company, is in . force. In the matter of the Wakefield and Is..nottingley stations, an award has been made, which has determined the cost of the former to be 68,354/., and of the latter to be 11,516/. ther, 79 871/. A moiety of this amount is or, toge • • chargeable by agreement to th? Great Northern Rail way Company. The negotiations for an amalgama tion with the East Lancashire Company having failed, the attention of the boards . of both companies is being directed to the propriety of concluding a traffic agreement, by which several of the many ad vantages which would have resulted from the first named measure may be secured at places and in dis tricts which are served in common by both companies. The capital account shows that 11,855,7371. had been received, and 11,812,222/. expended, leaving a balance of 43,515/. The revenue account for the half-year ending the . 30th of June shows that 432,667/. had been received, and 191,622/. expended, including 7,944/.• rates and taxes, and 5,131/.

Having thus been enabled to raise so large a sum on such favourable terms, and to provide the means of the half-yearly expenditure on capital account, the directors have postponed making any further calls on the company's preference shares, the capital represented by which is still available to a large extent. The extension line to Stock ton, joining there the line to Hartlepool, was opened throughout on the 2d of June last. The connexion is therefore completed between Leeds and these ports, and the company is in pos session of 70 miles of railway. The revenue account shows that during the last half-year the gross traffic receipts were 18,2041., and the working expenses 14,4481.; Government duty on passengers 4811. ; leaving 13,2751. as the net profit for the half-year._ Tne balance left of last half-year was 442/, making the total disposable surplus 13,7171. Of this avail able balance the sum of 9,396/. is required to pay the interest on loans ; an d th e directors recommend that the further sum of 2,7131. be appropriated to the pay ment of the half-year's dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. on the preference quarter shares, leaving a ba lance of 1,6071. to be carried forward to the next half year. The gross receipts for the half-year, ending 30th of June, exhibit an increase of 3,5471. over the corresponding period of 1851. The report concludes by stating that the completion of the northern exten sion of the line is a fact of much importance. The first effect of the opening of the extension has, how ever, been to prod uce a ver y severe compe titi o n for the traffic of the new district. On the opening of the line to Stockton, the rates to and from nearly all points at which this railway comes into competition with other companies were reduced to an absurd extent by those companies. The effect of the extremely low charges which this company had been compelled in self-de fence to adopt has consequently been to prevent its hitherto deriving those benefits which were anti cipated, and which are still confidently expected to be realised, from the formation of the extension line. The directors continue to entertain the same confident expectations as heretofore of the value of the undertaking. The capacious New Dock at West Hartlepool was opened on the Ist of June last, and. extensive powers were obtained in the last session of Parliament for the improvement of the navigation and dock accommodation of the river Tees, and ulti mately a large traffic cannot fail to be derived from these sources. Much attention continues to be de voted to the cultivation of the local traffic, which ex hibits a satisfactory increase ; and the directors en tertain the hopes of being able shortly to effect a connexion with the beds of ironstone in the Cleveland hills, from which a further source of profitable reve nue is to be anticipated. NAVAL IN TELLIGEN CE. PROMOTION • Lieutenant John Knapman (1809), has been pro moted to the rank of commander on the reserved half-pay list. He entered the navy in 1801, as midshipman, on board the Prince of Wales, 98, Capt. William Prowse, bearing the flag of Sir Robert C3lder, in the Channel, where, in 1802, he joined the Sirius, 36, also commanded by Captain Prowse. In 1803 he removed to the Temeraire, 98, Captain Eliab Harvey, and from that ship, after be had fought at Trafalgar, he was draugbted, in March, 1806, into the Achille, 74, Captain Richard King. On the 25th of the following September we find him present at , the capture, off Rochefort, of four heavy French frigates by a squadron under the orders of Sir Samuel Hood. He was next, between 1827 and his promotion to the rank of lieutenant, Sept. 14, 1819, employed off Cape Finisterre, Cadiz, and Toulon, in the Tonnant, 80, and Ocean, 98, flag-ships of Admi rals E.

We understand that the Rosamond, 6, steam sloop, in the West Indies, has been ordered home immediately, in consequence of the great amount of sickness amongst her crew. This vessel, as the Eclair, is known as the " and as the Rosa mond, when at the Cape she was so sickly that she was ordered to the Mediterranean station, and now in the West Indies the same fatality attaches to her : there must, therefore, be some radical defect in her construction, as we insisted when she returned home as the Eclair, with scarcely an officer or man alive in her. It is right to remember, also, that the In flexible steam-sloop, just returned, from the West Indies, was as sickly as the Rosamond when on the ' same station. We corrected the statement of a morning contem porary a few days since, to the effect that the French had nothing in the shape of a screw-ship that " could stand up against our Arrogant and Aga memnon? We showed that the French had as powerful a screw-frigate as the Arrogant, and that they had a 90 gun screw-ship, the Charlemagne, in com mission in the Mediterranean, whilst our Agamemnon had not her machinery fitted. Since then letters from Toulon announce that the Napoleon, ship of the line, fitted with the screw, left that port, and pro ceeded to sea to try her sailing powers. She returned in the night. The Napoleon sailed at the rate of 12 knots an hour. A letter from Rochefort, of the 14th inst., states that the ship of the line Ulm, of 100 guns, now on the stocks in that port, is to be fitted up as a screw-steamer.--Herald.

A plan has been recently submitted to Government and private shipbuilders by Mr. . Armen, of deaux, and Mr. J. J. Brunet, of the canal ironworks, Limehouse, with the view of obviating the objections which at present exist against iron vessels. Mr. Armen proposes to remove these objections by build ing vessels of the most approved modern lines for speed, the outer frames and planking to be,of timber, much thinner and lighter tha n vessels built entirel y of timber; and, within the outer frame, buildin g one entirely of iron, also prop ortionately lighter than if the entire ship were bu ilt of iron.

The Commissioners appointed were di rected to inquire into all claims in or upon the soil, timber, &c., more especially as to certain rights ,of common, established by ancient usage. The Act also directed that the deer should be removed or destroyed with all convenient speed, and that the forest reeves (rangers) should be forthwith discharged. According to the evidence brought before the Commissioners, it ap pears that, as regards Hainault, it has been customary, from time immemorial, to allow every poor widow not re ceiving parochial relief, residing in the parishes of Bark ing and Dagenham (which lie within the forest), one load of wood on Easter Monday, or, in lieu thereof, Bs. in money to those who could not procure a team to carry the wood on that day. In respect of this right the Commissioners have awarded, as compensation, 4161,135. 10d. to the parish of Barking, and 831. 6s. Bd. to Dagen ham parish, such sums to be distributed umong those whose claims may have been satisfactorily established. The only claimant on the soil of any importance was Sir Charles liaise, Bart., of Breamore-honse, Southampton, who in the character of Lord of the Manor of Barking, , set up a rig ht to a portion of the forest called the King's Woods. This claim was at the time disputed, but was s ubsequently recognise d so as to entitle Sir C. Hulse to c ompensation. The deer have been either removed or destroyed, the rangers have been discharged, the s axe has elready made considerable havoc, and in a very short time the whole of this vast a rea will be clear of timber.

The CHAIRMAN stated that, pursuant to the reso lutions of the last year's meeting, he and Mr. Leech man had succeeded in arranging with the bulk of the creditors of the company; and in s short time it was hoped they would be able to do so with the remainder. but no dividend could be paid till that was effected. Considerable expenses had been incurred during the past year on the line, in extensive repairs of the sta tionary engine at Todhills, and in the erection of a pumping engine. They had also had to provide a new wire rope, and to relay the rails and sleepers on the incline. The traffic was satisfactory, and if the unsettled claims against the company were arranged, it was hoped that something would be got out of this unforttnate concern. The accounts were then laid before the meeting and passed. The CHAIRMAN moved that 1•!r. James Pulleine and Mr. John Buckton be elected directors in the place of Messrs. J. Kipling and A. Murray, de ceased. The motion was seconded by Mr. T. E. ABBOTT, and carried. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman which concluded the meeting. DUBLIN AND BRAY. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Monday, at Dublin. The report of the directors stated that works of the railway have been re-opened, and are now being pro secuted to Dundrum, together with the extension line to Bray, sith considerable spirit, and the reputation of the contractor was a sure guarantee of the speedy and successful completion of the road. A resolution, among others, was passed, authorising the directors to re-issue, sell, or otherwise dispose of all forfeited shares on such terms as would (in their judgment) be most advantageous for the interest of the company, and insure the highest valve to be obtained for the same. LIVERPOOL, CROSBY, AND souTriroßT. The half-yearly meeting of proprietors was held yesterday at Liverpool, Mr. H. Hamby in the chair. The report stated , that the gross receipts for the past half-year exceeded those of the corresponding period of 1851 by 1,3901., or an increase of 12.52 per cent. The available balance, after deducting toll, working, and interest char ges , amoun ts to 4, 3 7 11 . , from which the directors rec ommen d th e payme nt of a dividend at the rate of 2 per cen t. f or the half-year , clear of income-tax, leaving a b a l ance to carry for ward of 3371.

The revenue a ccount for the half-year amounted to 13,003/ , and the ex penditure to 9,5471., leaving a b a l ance o f 4,3711. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, congratulated the shar e h o ld ers on the incre ase of the traffic, which he had ever reason to believe would go on rapidly increasi ng.

The ex penditure on capital account during the half-year claims upon the company's --Ordinary amounted to 128,935/. No efforts had been spared, as far as possible, to bring t o a close the outstanding re port with some satisfaction the conclusion of a pro tractedt arbitration on the merits of two a ctions insti uted_ by Mr. Faviell, contractor, for work done on the Burnley branch contract, and for money owing. The not to have been completed by him' claims of the plaintiff involved a sum of not less capital.

The creation of a certain amount of perpetual ir redeemable annuities, to be issued in substitution of all or part of the borrowed capital of the company, will he proposed at the meeting. The revenue ac count for the past half year, including the receipts for the Barnsley and North Union lines, shows that 420,1661. h a d been received, from which 11,5591. received for working the traffic of the Blackburn and Liverpol, Crosby and Southport lines is deducted,' leaving 408,6071.

'"P.; their right solution—the cynicism of the followicg remarks (wbich we quote from the Overland Eastern Star) would be amusing. As it is, they show how lightly the interests o f the Indian population press on the consciences of the official class in our eastern do minions—we might almost - say, on those of the Euro pean residents in the three'presidential capitals. With few exceptions, the Indian pr€ss is in the hands of the army and the bureaucracy. Sometimes the Euro pean merchants and planters contrive to influence it. But of the natives it takes no note. If an official is unjustly displaced, or if his promotion is unduly re tarded—if a regulation by the Gov - , retnent iffects disadvantageously the pockets of merchants or, plan tcrt, the Indian press gore etiaightway into hystericaled yells as if heaven and earth were coming tog-Arrer.

"And, lastly, the Committee has not catered into any inquiry into our relations with the native princes within the circle of our own territories."

The mass of the natives of India are at the very bottom of the social scale, and, p o li t i cally, they have no existence at all. No one appears to think about them. Even in Bengal—the richest, most fertile, and most populous province of our empire—the disorganisa tion of the lower classes is positively without a p ara ll e l.

Talk about the " material condition" of the 150 millions that constitute India! Why, the topic is eschewed with the most reli gious caution by the local authorities, and whence, then, is to be derived the information that should guide the researches of a home Committee of Inquiry? As well might they seek to discover the whereabouts of tat mysterious of monarchs—the great Prester John. As we are still inclined to hope against hope that the investigation of the Committee may result in some bene fit to this country, wo are glad that they have avoided a subject, the vastness of which would inevitably perplex them, and the intricacy of Ihich watid assuredly baffle all their attempts to understand. W it, as it has baffled the attempts of men, if not abler, &least possessed of far more light to guide their research. Leaving, then, the " material condition" of the 150 millions of India, we come to the next omission—that of inquiry into the policy which has so immensely ex tended our dominions since 1834. This we stiould re gard as an unpardonable omission were the case really as stated by the Daily News; but it is far otherwise. It hes not bean any extensive and persevering scheme of policy that has yearly pushed our frontier further into the heart of Asia. Oar policy, if we had any, was ever stationary; but circumstances, " over which we had no control," drove us onwards. The Company's govern ment in the East may truly exclaim that they have been throughout their career the sictims of circumstances— willing victims, perhaps, in some instances, but still vic tims. After they bad first gained a firm footing in India, all that they now possess came in the natural course of events. They but took their seat under a teeming tree, and as the fruit ripened it naturally fell into their lap. Now and then they certainly dtti accelerate the work of nature by giving the branches a shake, but in these cases they were always urged on by some suddenly concocted idea, or some half-involuntary impulse —never by any settled plan of policy. As well ask why the time-worn and crumbling tower yields to the fury of the blast, as inquire why the worn-out despotisms of India le tb ti e de b o a f rriers British once re moved—it h a ve one by one bowed down and fallen befene the s t ern energy ofthteued upon India—the Anglo-Saxon. The enter prise once re has silently but incessantly crept onwards, either over-topping or sapping and undermining all the obstacles that would check its course. What may be its destined boundaries it is beyond the power of man to determine, but certain it would appear that they have not yet been reached. All that our Indian politicians have ever essayed to discover has been the " natural boundary" of the British Indian empire, and now the object of our search seems as remote as ever. Heaven knows in what remote r • egion it may be eventually die, covered. The last subj • ect of inquiry upon which the Committee are forbidden an d to ent er —not th e l eas t i n tricate, de cidedly the most unsatisfactory—is, the s tate of our re lations with the native Princes, within the circ le of our dominions.
