Sir J. GRAHAM could not oppose the motion. Ile t h oug ht the employment of paupers in bone crushing hi g hly objectionable , b ut had en t er tained doubts as to the power of the Commissioners to interfere to prevent i t . He, however, now thought they might do so by a general order, and a general order had been issued pro. hibi t ing the practice, which order h ad been laid on th e table of the House. In consequence, however, of repre sentations from the Boards of Guardians, he had sus pended the execution of the order in nine cases until the Ist of April next. In reply to Mr. ETWALL, the Right !lon. Baronet said he did not think Andover wgis one of those nine &ISM Mr. Firiviku. then complained of the manner in which tih: Andover inquiry had been conducted , and ex p ressed determination to bring the matter specifically, before the Haase. agree After a few words from Mr. Cnnisrue, the motion was d to. On the motion of Captain PECTIELL, certain returns 'elating to the Fishery Convention with France were ordered. Mr. Evreirr complained that a petition, signed CATI.TEB, complaining that the Manchester and eouthitmpten Railway had not complied with tho standing orders, had been presented to the Rouse, and that there had been certwin interpolate is the petition, which he moved to have printed, in order that a Select Committee might be appointed to inquire into the matter.—Agreed to. Sir J. GnAnAm, in answer to Mr. KEMBLE, said that it was his intention to introduce a Bill establishing courts of request all over England. Some petitions for railway Bills having been pre. sented, the House adjourned. The calm which reigned so long in the Anglo-Indian camp at Ferozepore, has at last been suddenly disturbed by a violent inroad made by the Seikh army, amounting to some 30,000 men, with 70 guns. The Governor-General Sir Hexesr HA R DINGE had previously given orders to abstain from all offensive operations, and to wait patiently till events in the Punjaub should imperiously demand his interference, or the Seikh troops by acts of violence should compel him to have recourse to arms. He had not long to wait for such a result after his arrival on the banks of the Sutlej, for on the I2th of December 10,0 00 Seikhs , w ith, 27 guns, crossed the river, about twelve miles above Ferozepore, and invaded' the Dritish territory. On the 13th the Go vernor-General issued a proclamation, in which he declares that " notwithstanding the disorganised state of the Lahore Government during the last two years, and many most unfriendly proceedings on the part of the Durbar, the Governor- Gent ral in Council has continued to evince his desire to maintain the relations of amity and concord which had so long existed between the two States, for the mutual interests and happiness of both. He has shown on every occasion the utmost forbearance frcm consideration to the helpless state of the infant Maharaja DI ILEEP whom the British Government had recognised as the suc cessor to the late Maharaja &teen SINGH." Up to the last moment he had entertained hopes that these friendly relations would be maintained, he had shown every disposi tion to cultivate the friendship of the ruling party; and, as a proof that he would give no pretence for aggression, he had blamed Sir Ikon GOUGE for advancing certain divisions of the army towards the frontier, and ordered their recal. But in spite of his prudent arrangements and his cau tious forbearance, the Seikha kept assembling forces on the right bank' of the Sutlej ; he was therefore forced to issue orders for the advance of troops to reinforce the outposts, and not without reason, or before the time, for the force which we have mentioned, under the command of LALL &Nan, paramour of the QUEEN-MOTHER, without any provocation, suddenly invaded the British territories. The first consequence of this movement is rather important, and msy enable us to form some idea what will be the results of ultimate success on the part of the British Government. The whole of the possessions belonging to the reigning Prince on the left banks of the Sutlej have been confiscated and annexed to the British territories. The British army was immediately ordered to concentrate with all possible dispatch; the Seikhs were kept in check by Sir Joint Lumen., who commanded on that station, and Sir HENRY HARDINGE, who was at Umballa at the time, a place considerably to the east of Ferozepore, hastened to the scene of action with all the forces stationed been Loodiana and Ferozepore. He was in imme diate communication with the Commander-in-Chief, Sir HUGU GOUGH, who moved in the same direction. The Seikh army, it appears, had taken up a strong position on the Bri tish territory, at a very short distance from Ferozepore, and threatened to intercept communications with the interior. Sir H. HARDINGE, therefore, had no choice, even independent of the wanton invasion, and ho gave orders for a general attack on the enemy's position. This was on the 21st of December. The Governor-General commanded the centre, Sir HUGH GOUGII the right, and Sir Joniv LimEn the left. The en' my's position appears to have been well chosen, for the contest lasted three days, and the slaughter on both sides was great. Vic- tory at last, however, declared in favour of the British, for 'he Seikhz lost nearly all their guns, sixty-five out of seventy having been captured ; and on the 24th the Seikh camp was occupied by the British army. According to one account, however, only one position had been stormed, and prepara tions were making to attack the other when the dispatch left. But there can be little doubt as to the result, for with so few guns the enemy could not long hold their position, and it is not at all improbable that the whole of this lawless body, which have tyrannised over their own country, and robbed all parties, will be annihilated or captured before they can reach the Sutlej. It is said that the Ranee, or Queen-Mother, who at present is the real SOVEREIGN, was opposed to this invasion, but she was powerless, and the restless Seiklis per severed in their purpose. It is thus satisfactory to find that the Angle -Indian troops were not the aggressors, that they were absolutely forced to defend themselves, and that the responsi bility of this dreadful encounter must fall upon the rulers and the army of the Punjaub. We cannot attach much credit to the rumour that the Ranee was not privy to the scheme. It was for her interest to ray ea, but it is needless to co:nment on that point, for in a very brief space the mystery will be cleared up, and it is probable that an extraordinary mail will be dispatched by the Bombay Government with the full details of these hard-fought battles. It is evident, however, that a collision must have taken place, even inde pendent of the rash conduct of the Seikhs. We could not be put to the expense of keeping a large army on the fron tiers without the prospect of a speedy settlement; and be sides the complete control over the Punjaub is necessary for the security of the rest of India. This now will be com pletely obtained. The Indian Government will be enabled to command now not only the Indus but its five great tri butary branches; and thereby establish an impenetrable barrier against the irruptions of the western states. It will be seen from the details given in another part of the paper, that Sinde was quiet and contented, so much so, that Sir CHARLES NAPIER, who had " spied the battle afar off," was hast.ming with a large body of his troops to the scene of action. Much as the enemies of abolition have laboured to in fluence the electors throughout the kingdom—much, espe cially, as they have endeavoured to concentrate their ener gies upon the West Riding of Yorkshire—and strenuously, and (to use the most appropriate expression) furiously as Mr. BIISFEILD FEIMAND has attempted to thrust the spirit of agricultural monopoly down the throats of that constituency —the West Riding election has been terminated, and illustrated by the triumph of free-trade principles. Nor was this victory— consummated yesterday at the hustings in Leeds—in one single iota questionable or inconclusive. There was a solitary nomination, an harangue from a solitary candidate, and a solitary appeal to the opinions of the multitude present. When, in fine, the election was declared to be terminated, and when Lord MORPETH stepped forward to acknow ledge his acceptance as their representative, not one dissentient voice was raised from an assembly of thirty thousand individuals. No more definite exposition of the alteration in our present commercial code, which is now inevitable, could possibly have transpired. This single occurrence—regarded even in an erroneous light, namely, as an isolated fact—must penetrate the obtuse faculties of the protectionists with a clear knowledge of their doom : the conviction of the utter desolation and impotence of their struggles must at length stand before them with a terrible and indubitable clearness. Lord MonrEria's election for the West Riding of Yorkshire is no ordinary or generalised casualty ; it is not the common place nomination of a common-place man under common-place circumstances, or in furtherance of any common-place policy. It is the noble, the universal, and the spontaneous outburst of an extensive and important division of our enfranchised countrymen ; it is the enthusiasm of an enlightened multitude in a prodigious and glorious cause; it is the unusual and benign reality of one among the haughtiest of our oligarchy buckling on the armour of justice, and standing forward as the protector and the champion of the people. A more fitting personage in every particularity could not by any possibility have been selected by the men of Yorkshire as the advocate of those vast and popular measures—" free corn, free food, and free trade." In uttering this opinion we are not attempting to any sounding sentences of eulogium—adjec tires of praise without significance would form but a wooden diadem, and mere turns of language, however glitter ing, would still be but tinsel. Indeed, the Noble Viscount (whose imaginative and poetical capa cities are by no means despicable) disclaimed any sympathy with aspirants for the more hack nicd species of renown. "Give me," be exclaimed, "the commerce, not the conquest of the world—a large loaf, and not an empty laurel." In these stirring and momentous l ic it t t u le res b g et u t e e n r ets th s an or in e s e a n n t e im w o e n re . e w P : e t h o s continue l d s t c a k e I h e r o s f s fo r b e p taliain—tho poetry of words in couplets is but A pigmy to the colossal poetry of act, in the shape of open ports for the re ception of untaxed corn, and lard, and vegetables, and butcher's meat. As an expounder and upholder of these notions, Lord Morro rrn will advance greater claims to popu linart is ry t , an ertiai d nemd p st o eh p ive u ea l w ar euepdol affection, and than any more babblers congratulate hineerndo o upon having Cordially o g r deina moree m ayt well-wisher, League one more vote, one more eloquent and argumentative tongue in the Parliament House:, This' consideration is not of secondary importance --it is another staunch and vigorous, and earnest hand for the impulsion of that great leverage which has already moved the world of exclusive Interest and class aggrandisement. His Lordship's oration upon the hustings yesterday afternoon may, in truth, be regarded as an evidence of this acquisition to the aboli tionists—so much sound, and healthy, and naked argument is there lavished upon the vital question now at issue. In that address the Noble Lord forsakes anything like pretensions to rhetorical ability : his words are simple and bold to a degree : he accommodates himself, as a speaker upon the hustings ev%r should, to the capacities of his audience : he renders, in a few expressions, some abstract proposition com prehensible to the most ordinary intellect. In this manner the question of territorial demand with reference to Oregon is siniplified in a singular manner by three or four odd syllables :—the Noble Viscount explaining that the dissaffection towards us, at present 50 prevalent in the eastern portion of the United States, might be totally and immediately removed, if, by consenting to an untram melled importation:of provisions fromthat h c e iu d a e r s t :u r u , we u g f avei 1 t s inha bit an ts something whioh they would would consequently render keep ing'n their possession , and which ti n uance of peace. After rapidly sur hem desirous of a cz,n of these liberal principles among the ve ying the progression g reg m ass "without," as w ell as ame n the intellects which regulate Lord MORPETTA controverted the Government of this count i T the many specious and plausible 1 i ns inuations of the Opposi tion the utter inadequacy of party, showing at the same time the bulk any restricted trade in food in nourishing allv deetillo to be by cY A UticaaA they were the DEITY himself. Nothing. in fact, can be more fallacious—nothing, in fact, can be more criminal, than the endeavour to deny the plentiful supply of suste nance to the poorer and more industrious classes for the mere purpose of bolstering up a decayed and (in both stmses) ruinous cause. It is an endeavour from which, in the abstract, every sensible mind would absolutely recoil ; and the inference that, from such an arrangement, misery and des titution and failure would, as it were, inundate the country, is fully and inexpressibly preposterous. Credit will redound to the constituents of Yorkshire for the decided manner in which they have acted at this moment of mighty "passing," not only to themselves and to their countrymen, but to the whole civilised race ; they have regarded the matter through its grandest medium, and have, in the person' and in tha words of their noble representative, "commended it to the reason, to the feeling, to the consciences of mankind." Singularly enough, Lord MORPETII yesterday observed, on the announcement of his unanimous election—" As Sir R. PEEL- said, in talking of our late victories in India coining after preceding reverses—lie said (and I now say) we have effaced the memory of our shame upon the field of cur previous disasters' "—referring, be it remembered, to the Noble Lord's defeat, some sessions back, at those identical busting• The coincidence of the above allusion to our eastern terri tories but a few hours previous to the arrival of the Overland Mail this morning, with the intelligence of our successes over the Seikhs, and our apparent approximation to a final triumph in the Punjaub, is something more than remarkable. Now, however, with this important achievement in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and the striking superiority of our arms at Ferozepore, we can seize these words with a double avidity, and repeat them with a double application—" We have effaced the memory of our shame upon the field of our pre vious disasters." Let us regard this aptitude of phrase as an augury of our final triumph upon both points. We have accounts from Madrid and Barcelona to the 28th ult. A meeting of the Deputies opposed to the marriage of the Qurux with the Count DE TRAPANI was held on the 27th, When it was resolved that the explanation given by General NAIWAEZ in the Chamber was not satisfactory, and that the Members will continue their opposition to the mar riage. Arragon, according to the intelligence from Barce lona, is again in a disturbed state, and the papers state that the inhabitants of Rens had refused in a body to pay the now contributions, and that troops had been marched to that town from Tarragona. General BRETON, bad also returned in haste from Gerona to Barcelona, on account of some fresh disturbances there. The lacier of the insurrection in Am purdan was shot at Gerona on the 26th, and the other pri• soners had their sentences commuted to imprisonment. The Funds on the Madrid Bourse had again declined on the 28th. The Three per Cents. were qu )ted at 33 for cash, and 33 1 4 at sixty days. The Fives closed at 23% for the same period. The discussions in the French Chamber of Deputies have lost their interest. The Opposition evidently has exhausted its strength in vain, for in all the divisions they have been defeated, and generally by large majorities. One useful pur pose, however, has been served. M. TIIIERS has been corn • pelled to declare his sentiments on the English alliance, to which he says he is favourable, and these sentiments differ in every respect from his professions. Both France and Eng land, therefore, are warned, that if it should ever be the mis fortune of the civilised world to see him again Prime Miniskr, peace will to a certainty be disturbed, We have only to quote a few of his phrases to show in what way he would assert the dignity of France, and confine England to her proper sphere. "If there is anything," said he, to M. GUIZOT, " which proves your dependence, it is the very facts you adduce. What cannot be contested is, that with respect to England, the policy of France has ceased to be independent, and that in Europe England marches in an isolated manner, in order not to be useful to France when it is in her power to be so. Now you declare that you resort to a policy of neutrality in the Oregon question ; but I must observe to you, that the very first condition of neutrality is impartiality, and as you do not pos sess that, it is utterly impossible for you to guard your neutral ity with respect to America." The Journal des Debats thus sums up: the results of these numerous amendments :" After four years of declamations, after so many efforts to excite the passions of the people against the English alliance, and to cast venom into the relations between the two Governments and the two countries, the Opposition is at last compelled to confess that it had taken the wrong path, and is reduced to admit that not only the habitual majority, but also the most wise, the most sensible, the most honest branch of the Oppo sition, has rejected an amendment because it made an attack upon the cordial understanding between France and Eng land. Alas! how have passed away those fine days during which reigned the right of search and the far famed Purrcrunip ! All these things are laid aside and abandoned since it is found that the country will no longer be deceived, having seen through these false passions and declamations got up at command." Accounts from Algiers to the 27th of January, state that Marshal BUGEAUD had assembled a considerable force at Boghar, and set out again in pursuit of ABD-RL-KADER. A letter of the 25th says:— " You have no doubt beard that the Marshal has not re turned with the troops of his column, but that on the con trary he has gone towards Tiaret. All the troops capable of bearing the campaign were united under his orders, and those of Colonel Eynard, to form an accessory column. In default of brilliant success, the merit of persevering activity cannot be denied the Marshal, and it will not be without result, if it ends in shutting out the ex-Emir from all access to the province of Algiers. The cavalry has returned to us in a deplorable state, it is true, but the evil has been exagge rated, in pretending that eut of 500 horses only GO have come back; it is, however, certain that the great majority were left behind. We have still intact the cavalry of the province of Constantine, which can be called on to supply the place of the two other divisions. It is not the less true that Algeria is now worn out with respect to horses, though not many years back possessing such iinmenee resources in that wey. Fifteen years of war—fifteen years of exceptional consumption, and continual hindrance to increase—should necessarily lead to such a result, and we shall soon suffer much want in this respect, unless grand establishments be formed to promote the breed of horses."

ALLF,GED MURDERS ON BOARD THE TORY.—This morn ing, at the sitting of the Central Criminal Court, Captain Johnstone, late, of the ship Tory, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Justice Williams cud Mr. Justice Cresswell, charged with the wilful murder of Thomas Beason. The Attorney-Gene ral and Mr. Bodkin prosecuted; and Mr. Jervis and Mr. Iluddleston appeared for the prisoner. A full report of the proceediml wilt appear in our Third Edition. The case for the prosecution had not concluded when we went to press. MORTALITY IN TILE METROPOLIS.—TIIO number of deaths during the last week was 901, being less by 8 than that of the previous week, and 179 below the average of five winters. Bronchitis is almost the only disease more fatal than usual. The number Vas 62, while the average is 31. The violent deaths were 18, of which 6 were suicides. RAILWAY COMMITTEES (THIS DAY.) (Sub-Committee No. 1.) This Committee re-assembled at the usual hoar this morning, Mr. Strutt in the chair. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN (EPSOM BRANCH) RAILWAY. The customary formal process of the deposit of plans, &0., having been tendered in respect' of the project, and duly gone through, the Committee declared that the stand ing orders had been complied with. LIVERPOOL, MANCHESTER, AND NEW , CASTLE-UPON-TYNE RAILWAY. The next line called on was that of the Liverpool, Man chester, and Newcastle-upon-Tyne Railway - , which was op. posed by several landowners, who complained of defects in the deposited plans and sections. The first allegation of one of the petitioners complained of deficient measurement on one portion of the line. The agent for the Bill demanded that before the Com mittee entertained this allegation and the other allegations of the petitioner, proof should be adduced that the petitioner wee owner the of the land, or had the consent of th e owner of the land, upon which the omissions occurred, to proceed with th 3 opposition. The agent for the petitioner protested that such proof was quite unnecessary ; and the Committee deciding that it was contrary to the spirit of the standing orders to require such proof, the allegation was proceeded with, and successfully sustained. (Sub -Committee No. 2.) The Committee re-assembled at Twelve o'clock this day, in room No. 6, Sir J. Yards Buller, Chairman. The Committee commenced the business of the day by taking THE NEWLY, WARRENPOINT, AND ROSSTRENTOR aLAILWAY. The line is to be eight miles in length, and is estimated at a cost of 82,5001. Mr. BaYDEN appeared for the promoters. The Bill was unopposed. Mr. Godwin, civil engineer, was examined as to the cor rectness of the plans and sections. Mr. W. N. Wallace and other gentlemen were called to prove the deposit of the plans and books of reference with the public officers in the respective localities of the line. Mr. Hugh Willie and others were examined as to the validity of the contract deed. The Committee then declared that the standing orders had been complied with. The next case called on was THE AYRSHIRE AND GALLOWAY RAILWAY. - This Bill having bean part-heard yesterday was post poned to hear arguments upon the contract deed. Mr. Boni appeared for the opponents, and argued at some length against the validity of the deed, inasmuch as the parties signing had not bound themselves in conformity with the standing orders, and consequently could not be sued upon it. Mr. CoNNELL, for the promoters, contended that the deed was bonafide according to the Scotch law, and the managers could sue each other. Mr. BURKE would contend that, as the managers who had bound themselves to carry out the terms of the contract deed were themselves shareholders, they surely would not sue themselves. Such being the case, the Committee must see that the deed was wholly invalid. Mr. CONNELL could call several emminent Scotch lawyers to prove that the deed Was strictly binding by the common law 91 After some further arguments the room was ordered to be cleared. Upon re-admission of the parties, The CIIMRMAN said that the Committee, after considering the case very carefully, had come to the opinion that the standing orders had not been complied with, inasmuch as the parties were not bound by the contract deed according to the standing orders of Parliament. There were several other allegations against the Bill, but the opponents declined going into them, as they were satis fied of the last decision of the Committee being fatal to the case.

The other mem bers of the Committee, to whom he had mentioned the matter, were of opinion that the case was so doubtful as to rrquire some further consideration. By the subscription mitt act the parties had bound themselves to pay so much as, was applicable to points B and C in the contract deed. If they would refer to the subscription contract to obtain the ne cessary information on the point, he would bring thi matter before Mr. Speaker, by whose advice they would abide. Mr. Burke, Parliamentary agent, said that a similar subscription contract was agreM to last year. The CHAIRMAN and the other members of the Committee present did not think the precedent alluded to was sufficient, and the Bill was postponed.

Considerable senzation, mingled with no little indig nation, has been created in this town amongst the mrr chants engaged in the African trade, by the illegal seizure, by :Portuguese man-of-war, of the brig Lady Sale, of this port, whilst trading on the coast of Africa for palm-oil, ivory, 2z,c. Before proceeding to offer any remarks on the subject of this seizure, we copy the following important testi mony as to the affair from a French paper, which is the first publie•account we have read of the transaction : " It seems certain that this vessel had not the slightest intention of trading for slaves. But this will not prevent it from being condemned by the commission, for the double resson, that the Portuguese judges will naturally follow in this case the example given them by the English judges in the case of Portuguese vessels sus pected of slave trade, and that the English will be obliged to give proof of their impartially and equity, by showing themselves inflexible with regard to one of their own vessels, captured under those conditions o. guilt they have themselves so rigorously laid down ; and the vessel Krill be sacrificed to the greater glory of British philanthropy. It is usual for vessels going to the African coast to obtain merchandise, such as gum, oil, and ivory, to have on board certain utensils which would be pet-ft ctly useless in other expe ditions. Such utensils were found on board this vessel. zihe belonged to the hous9 of Charles Hoisfall and Scn Liverpool, had remained two or three months in Rio Zaire and Congou, to get oil of palm and ivory, but had not boen able to obtain either, and was going to Ambrez, to take a cargo of copal. She was captured on account of having on board 26 casks of water, several bales of rice, a copper, and some bars ; and the probability is that she will be condemned as a starer."—semaphore of Marseilles. We have made inquiry, and find the foregoing facts are substantially correct; and, what is more, by later accounts we find the Lady Sale has actually been con demned by the Portuguese authorities! It appears that there is not the slightest imputation of the vessel being engaged in the slave trade; but, because she had on board ccrtein articles which were necessary for the voyage, and which are taken by every vessel engaged in the extensive trade in palm oil from this port, and %hich, by straining the letter of the treaty with Portugal for the suppression of the slave trade, 'has been construed into an infringement of the treaty, and led to the seizure and condemnation of the vessel. . . vv This is a question of no trifling importance and re sponsibility to oar Government. There is something like 20,000 tons of shipping, be sides property to the value of nearly a million sterling, engaged in this trade, the whole of which, if our Govern ment allow this act of virtual piracy to pass without re dress, may, in like manner, fall a sauitice to the spirit of retaliation which seems to have actuated the captors of the Lady Sale. In the individual case of this vessel, there is no doubt, even under the letter of the treaty, the seizure has 'been illegal ab initio, the Portuguese man-of-war having taken her whilst the captain was on shore at Ambrez. The treaty requires that, under any circumstances, the credentials of the seizing officer should be presented, before proceeding even to search the vessel. This was disregarded. We understand that active step 3 lave clready been taken by the merchants of this town to bring the subject under the notice of her Majesty's Government; but, unless, the Government are equally active and prompt in giving and demanding redress, the consequences will bo most serious to the trade of the port.—Liverpool Mail. POST-OFFICE ARRANGEMENTS WITH FOREIGN COUNTRIES. __ There have been just printed by command of her Majesty, and presented to the Houses of Parliament, copies of the conventions entered into between the Post-office of this country and those of the kingdom of Hanover and the Duchy of Brunswick. The conventions are dated July Bth, 1845 ; also copies of the " additional articles" to the treaties al ready concluded with the French and Belgian Post-office authorities. The following aro the more important articles contained in the treaties : FRANCE.—The principal object of the supplemental article is the regulation of the transit dispatches which may be sent through France from or to the Swiss cantons, Algeria, kc. It is thereby provided that letters from the United Kingdom to Switzerland, and reciprocally, may be transmitted through France, either paid to their destination or unpaid, at the sender's pleasure. For all letters paid in the respective countries, the English Post-office is to account at a rate of 2f. 40e. for every 30 grammes net weight; receiving, on the other hand, ls. per ounce British for letters from or to the United Kingdom, and 3s. 4d. per ounce for those for or to the colonies and countries beyond sea. Newspapers from Switzerland to Great Britain pay 40 centimes transit postage. Between Switzerland and the co lonies (except Canada), ld. is to be paid by the French Post office on every journal or printed sheet of paper that may be conveyed by British vessels; and 1 when conveyed in like manner between Canada and Switzerland, Algeria, France, and those countries where France maintains post offices. llAxovEu.—The convention provides for a regular trans mission of letters twice a week from the central post-offices established in England, at London ; and in Hanover, at Bremen. The postage for every single • letter is to be 9d. sterling, of which Gd. is to belong to England, and 3d. to Hanover. This postage may be paid either by the sender or the receiver. One rate is to be charged for letters not ex ceeding half an ounce; two rates from to 1 ounce; four rates, 1 to 2 ounces; and for every additional ounce or frac tion, two rates are to be charged. For transit letters through the respective countries Gd. per half-ounce is to be charged in England, and 2d. in Hanover, except in the case of letters for Saxony, or the countries beyond, when the charge is 3d. These rates of 6d , and 2d., or 3d. respectively, to be com bined into one of Bd. or 9d., of which Gd. will belong to Great Britain, and 2d. or 3d. to Hanover. The two Post-offices mutually to account with each other for that portion of the postage which is clue to each other on the correspondence forwarded by them. The Post-office of Hanover to allow the transmission of the closed mails, containing the correspond ence between Great Britain and the East Indies, British pos sessions in the Levant, &c., on a payment of 101., in lieu of transit postage on every such mail. The Hanoverian Post office to defray the expences of transmission in the ordinary manner, but, if the British deem it expedient to employ any special trains or convoy, the expense must be borne by itself. For newspapers not higher than Id. to be charged by - the British Post-office, or than two-thirds of a good gresehen (about Id. sterling) by the Post-cffice in Hanover. But this article is not to invalidate the right of either of the offices to refuse to deliver such of those newspapers as may not have folly complied with the laws respecting their publica tion and circulation. Bous.rswicK.—The convention includes the Duchy of Brunswick in the previous treaty with Hanover, so that letters from or to the United Kingdom may be sent to or re ceived from Brunswick at the same rate as those agreed upon with the Hanoverian Post-office. The closed mails between England and the East Indies are to be forwarded through Brunswick, should it be deemed expedient to adopt that route, .on a payment of 5/. each. Newspapers to be sent or received on terms similar to those with the Hano verian office. BELGIUM.—The only additional article to the postal con vention with Belgium provides for the direct communication between the . Post-ollice of Antwerp and the British office at Hull, by means of private ships navigating between those two ports. The communication to be in all respects conform able with the stipulations contained in the general convention of October 19, 1844. FACTORIES IN TUC NORTE OF ENOLAND.—In his last report (just laid before Parliament), Mr. Leonard Horner thus describes the resttlt of his inquiries in his district (the north of England), giving the following curious details : I have ascertained, by inquiry, that the 1,519 firms on my books occupy 2,068 factories, haVe 1,552 steam- engines, with a power of 41,338 horses, and 515 water-wheels, the power of which is estimated at 5,413 horses; being together 49,751 horses power. They employ 221,437 persons of all ages, of which number 14;141 are children between 8 and 13 years of age, 65,546 between 13 and 18, and 141,450 of 18 and above. Of these there are 5,424 female children, 38,172 females between 13 and 18, and 77,208 above 18 ; making in all 120,804 females ; or above 541 per cent. of the whole number employed. Since the last returnto Parliament, in February, 1839, there has been an increase in my district of 329 factories, of 10,041 horses power, and of 50,522 persons employed. Tbis increase has all taken place since November, 1842, when the revival of trade began ; and indeed the increase of persons employed since that time must have been considerably greater than the above amount; for between June, 1838, when the collection of particulars for the return of 1839, began, and November, 1842, many mills had entirely ceased to work, and others had considerably re duced the number of their hands. The total number of Rower-looms in my district, ascertained by inquiry, is 142,949. The only return of power-looms made to Parliament is that of 1835, and I find from it, that in the same parts of Fug land which now constitute my district—viz., Lancashire, part of the West Riding, and the whole of the North Riding of the county of I ork, and the four northern counties of England. there were then only 63,861; showing an increase of 79,088 in the 10 years; and there are now 26,237 more power-looms at work in my district alone than there were in the whole united kingdom 10 years age. As regards the employment of women, Mr. Homer says that the clause in the late Act which prevents women from working more than 12 hours a-day, and secures to them regular intervals for meals, applies to 85,515 in my district, that is. to all those of 18 years of age and upwards ; and I have every reason to believe that the interference in their behalf is very generally approved of, and especially by the *mien hemselves. POACHING ON THE DIIItE OP nttcurrottlaiii PRE.. BEEVES.—Two 'pen, named Thomas Stokes and 4 . ohn Adatns ) were committed en Mouthy to te1%.4 triai, at the suing Bucks ASSideS, stokes for cutting and maiming George Bridger, a gamekeeper in the service of the Duke of Buck.' ingham, and Adams for assisting in the eomthission of the offence. It appeared from the testiniony of Briager i which was corroborated by an assistant keeper named Cadd, that the prisoners, with another man, who effected his escape, were armed with a gun, in the Duke's preserves at Preston corner, in the parish of Hillesden, between eleven and twelve o'clock ou Saturday night. Shortly after the keepers had heard the report of a gun they came up with the three men, when Bridger was instantly knocked down by Stokes with the butt end of his gun, and a general fight ensued between the poachers and the keepers. A second blow was aimed at Bridger with the gun, by Stokes,, which inflicted a severe wound on his nose and chin, lie had also suffered other injuries. The two prisoners were also committed to take their trials at the assizes for being found armed, in the night tune, iLt the DRliO poorycs, iu §carch pf game. OVEBLAND MAIL INDIA AND CHINA. (From the Times.) We have received by extraordinary express our dis patches in anticipation of the Bombay mails of the Ist of January, containing the important news that the Seikh army had crossed the Sutlej, hnd that they having thus declared war against the British, the Governor-General had issued the following proclamation on the lath of December:— 'ROCLANATION BY THE RIGHT 110 N. TRIO GOVERNOR- GENIMIAL OF INDIA. "The British Government has ever been on terms of friend ship with that of the Punjaub. "In the year 1809 a treaty of amity and concord was con cluded between the British - Government and the late Maha raja Runjeet Singh, the conditions of which have always been faithfully observed by the I.lriisli Government, and were scrupulously fulfilled by the-late Maharaja. "The same friendly relations have been maintained with the successors of Maharaja Runjeet Singh by the British Government up to the present time. " Since the death of the late Maharaja S'acre Singh, the disorganised state of the Lahore Government has made it incumbent on the Governor-General in Council to adopt precautionary measures for the protection of the British frontier; the nature of these measures, and the cause of their adoption, were at the time fully explained to the Lahore Durban " Notwithstanding the disorganised state of the Lahore Government during the last two years, and many most un friendly proceedings on the part of the Durbar, the Gover nor-General in Council has continued to evince his desire to maintain the relations of amity and concord which had so long existed between the two states, for the mutual interests and happiness of both. He has shown on every occasion the utmost forbearance from consideration to the helpless state of the infant Maharaja Dhuleep Singh, whom the British Government hail recognised as the successor to the late Maharaja iihere Singh. " The Governor-General in Council sincerely desired to see a strong SeikhGovernment re-established in the Punjaub, able to control its army and protect its subjects. He had not, up to the present moment, abandoned the hope of seeing that important object effected by the patriotic efforts of the Seikhs and people of that country. " The Seikh army recently marched from Lahore towards the British frontier, as it was alleged by the orders of the Durbar, for the purpose of invading . the British territory. " The Governor-General's agent, by direction of the Go vernor-General, demanded an explanation of this movement, and no reply being returned within a reasonable time, the demand was repeated. The Governor General, unwilling to believe in the hostile intentions of the Seikh Government, to which no provocation had been given, refrained frern taking any measures which might have a tendency to embarrass the Government of the Maharaja, or to induce collision be tween the two states. _ _ " When no reply was Oven to the repeated demand for ex planation, and while active military preparations were con tinued at Lahore, the Governor-General considered it neces sary to order the advance of troops towards the frontier to reinforce the frontier posts. " The Seikh army has now, without a shadow of provoca tion, invaded the British territories. " The Governor-General must, therefore, take measures fur effectually protecting the British provinces, for vindi cating the authority of the British Government, and fur punishing the violators of treaties, and the disturbers of public peace. " The Governor General hereby declares the possessions of Maharija Dhuleep Singh on the left or British banks of the Sutlej confiscated and annexed to the British territories. " The Governor-General will respeCt the existing rights of all Jagheerdars, Zamindars, and tenants in the said posses sions, who, by the course they now pursue, evince their fideity to the British Government. "The Governor-General hereby calls upon all the chiefs and Sirdars in the protected territories to co-operate cordially with the British Government for the punishment of the common enemy, and for the maintenance of order in these states. Those of the chiefs who show alacrity and fidelity in the discharge of this duty which they owe to the protecting power, will find their interests promoted thereby, and those who take a contrary course will be treated as enemies to the British Government, and will be punished accordingly. " The inhabitants of all the territories on the left bank of the Sutlej are hereby directed to abide peaceably in their respective villages, where they will receive efficient protec tion by the British Government. All parties of men found in armed bands, who can give no satisfactory account of their proceedings, will be treated as disturbers of the public peace. "All subjects of the British Government and those who possess estates on both sides the river Sutlej, who by their faithful adherence to the British Government may be liable to sustain loss, shall be indemnified and secured in all their just rights and privileges. "On the other hand, all subjects of the British Govern ment who shall continue in the service of the Lahore state, and who disobey this proclamation by not immediately re turning to their allegiance, will be liable to have their pro perty on this side the Sutlej confiscated, and declared to be aliens and enemies of the British Government. "By order of the Right Hon. the Governor-General of India. " F. CURIAE, "Secretary to the Government of India with the Governor-General. . " Camp, Lushkuree Khan-ke-Serai, Dec. 13, 1845." BOMBAY, JAN. 3 To understand the Seikh character, it is necessary to ex plain that they follow the tenets of Nunok, who four centu ries ago formed a religion from Hindooism and Mahomedan ism, which suited the taste 'of the men of Lahore. Guided by their "Goorc.os," or priests, they fought and gained consi derable territories in the Punjaub, or Country of the Five Rivers. Some of the troops, and especially those of Rajpoot descent, assumed the appellation of Sine's, or Lions. Runjeet Singh, by his abilities, succeeded in placing himself at their head. He died in June, 1839, since which time three of his succes sors have been assassinated. Dhuleep Singh is but a boy, and the troops refuse to obey his feeble sceptre. The Singhs resemble, in a great measure, the Janissaries at Constantinople; and they, too, assume the right of select ing their own rulers. The Akhalees are a tribe of the wildest fanatics, who look upon all men as objects of hatred, unless those who profess the Seikh faith. The Seikh troops are stated to amount in number to about 70,000 men, collected from the bravest of the land; fur, like the Janissaries, they admit recruits of all classes, on those recruits adopting their tenets. The Seikh troops, inflated with vanity and desirous of plunder, came to the resolution of invading the British ter ritory; and they, notwithstanding the reluctance of their Government, marched in the end of November and the be ginning of December to the banks of - the Sutlej, a distance of about fifty miles from Lahore. The forced the Queen Mother's paramour, Lell Singh, to accompany them as a hostage for her behaviour during their absence. On the 28th of November one division of them reached Manihals, and on the 29th Behranna. The other divisions moved in parallel routes, and on the Bth of December the whole force reached the banks of the Sutlej, forming a line extending from Kussoor, opposite to Ferozepore, to the Ilurreeke Ghat. Tej Singh, who was to be one of their principtl leaders, en deavoured by various excuses to delay his departure from Lahore. Tile Punt or Council of officers guided the troops in their proceedings. The Governor-General left Delhi on the 19th of November, and reached Kurnal on the 26th, when he had an interview with the Commander-in-Chief, Sir IL Gough, and with. Major Broadfcot, both of whom had come by clak from Urn belle. It was at this meeting that the Governor-General ex pressed his disappravol of the measures adopted by the mili tary authoriths in hastening troops to the river's bank. On the 27th the Governor-General again began his march, and on the 2d of December he arrived at Umballa, where he re mained until the 7th, busy in reviewing the troops; and on that day he moved out of the fort as if to proceed to Feroze pore. On the 11th he rode from his eamp.l6 miles' distance, to Loodiana, to inspect the troops. On the 9th the determie nation of the Seikh soldiery to cross the Sutlej became known, and orders were issued for the assembly of the army, and the Vakeel of the Lahore Government was desired to retire from the Company's territories. The proclamation was issued on the 13th, and on the 17th the Governor-General's camp was at Bussean, within 37 miles of the Seikhs. The Commander in-Chief was stationed on that day within 5 miles of the Governor-General's camp. On the 12th 10,000 Seikhs, with 27 guns, crowed the river by a ford about 12 miles above Ferozepore; and on the 13th they were about 7 miles from it, still crossing men and guns by a bridge of boats. The British army was concentrating; it was composed of 11 complete troops of horse artillery, 11 companies of foot artillery, with four light field batteries, a 12-pounder ele phant battery of 13 guns, 14 24-pounders, 8 howitzers, and mortars preparing; three European with seven native light cavalry regiments, including the body guard; four complete corps, and a wing of the sth irregular cavalry ; nine European and 25 native regiments of infantry, and ahnost the whole corps of Bengal Sappers and Miners. There were other corps in movement to reinforce the army. Rumour states that Sir H. Hardinge was likely to have a general battle on the 20th of December, but this fact was doubted, especially as he is supposed to be following the cautious tactics of the Wellington school, and not to be dis posed to strike until be can give a blow with power and effect. The Seikhs were kept in check near Ferozepore by a force under Sir John Littler, who commands at that station, and who caused field works to be thrown up on the line of supposed attack by the Seikhs. Reports have been current that he had defeated a body of the Seikhs on the 15th, and that he had lost eight officers. The number of Seikhs that crossed the river before the 14th was said to amount to 30,000, with 70 guns. Their great object appears to be plunder, which they expected to find without any difficulty. They have brought their own pro visions for the campaign, as they dread being poisoned if thepuse any food found in the British territories. They are said also to be alarmed at taking Ferozepore, which is de scribed by them as being undermined, and to be blown up in. case they enter it. They were vacillating before they in vaded the British territory, and appeared to be more so on finding their progress resisted. Theltanee, or Queen-Mother, remained at Lahore, declaring she had opposed the march of the troops, who refused to obey her. At her request a force had been sent back to Lahore to protect her and the capital, Apprehensions were entertained that the Seikh troops would separate themselves Into plundering bands, and scatter de struction through the British provinces to Susa, llansee, &c. Hence great anxiety prevailed as to the results of the pitched battle which was expected on the 29th of December.isahe ttroops Moultan is a tributary province of LaLere, ei were described stationed there, to the number of 30,000 men, as having moved towards Bhawulpore.

THE CAMPAIGN IN THE NORTI I * (From the Delhi Gazette, Dec. 24.) etetteel It would be difficult to describe the almost OOOOO anxiety with which the arrival of the dales hes, b c r ee e ttell is ) for since our last. The various phases of the •"'eeic 1 10 disasters were scarcely more exciting on the !ne than the expectation which has been created by ‘"'" r • t en e t inroad of such an immense body of Seikhs into onceol.,l ries, and the preparations made by the British Go a c ts 'i o te;, to resist this breach of the peace, which has so long . ' 11 , e,t between the two nations, and to pun i s h the invader r l re e if ing, however, carefully weighed the position of e u rt osf S ', well as that of the Seikhs, and now examined 00,0 the apprehend that the delay which has taken plsee.eld fora ee pected collision is more easily to be accoonl: e e tp el e would appear to be the case, had we correctly ell" Icelk tance between Bussean and Ferozepore, 1 ' 41° ,4 0 ;0° tioned that the head-quarters of our force were, ee - t esei within 37 miles of the Seikh force. It i 3 pOSSi b l i e e otl9 estimate may have been strictly applicable to , t oc tie l ' . ol o , of the force, but certainly not to the nisillee° being near Ferozepore, must have been fully 7 0 ,heee r t ee our head-quarters. It appears also that the il e t : T ai d° of Bussean was assigned as the place at esul sa y should be formed between the .Loodiane g n elateletel forces, it having been very prudently ee° s 'd o rb safe to allow the former to take the direct froeBol, road to Ferozepore. The consequence of the- e g eoleAre i , through a country out of tho direct line of trs'ite cation, is (no arrangements having been inadee"o es° et o , few days for opening a new one), that no it eeoest, well have been expected until such new line 5 128 t he ite"toW completed; and we are at a Loss to know hog e llo c e re r were enabled to publish in our Extra of the 18Wropor!,.0 from camp.

THE SUN, LON DON, THURSDA I EVEN LNG, FEBRUARY 5, 1844. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(-THIS DAY. The House sat to-day, fur the first time this s f.‘sion, to hea - r appeals. The Peers present were Lord Brougham, Lord Cottcnham, and Lord Campbell. MACPHERSON V. CRAIGIE. The case came before their Lordships upon appeal from the decision of the Court of Session. The only question in the case is, - whether an entailed estate in the possession of the appellant was charged with a jointure to the respondent. The Court of Session decided that it was; and from that judgment the present appeal was brought. The case will probably occupy two or three days in argument. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO TIMER. There was a good business done in Cotton at Liverpool yesterday, and prices were very steadily supported. Sales about 8,000 bales, 1,000 being on speculation; 300 bales Brazil went at 434 d. to 6d. ; 300 Egyptian at bd. to 6d.; 400 Surat at 210. to 3d. per lb. ; and American at 334 to bd. The market was good for the old shares, but scrips were lower. By a direct arrival we have accounts of September 24 from Van Dieman's Land. The colonists appeared to he greatly interested in the admission of their grain for consumption in England, and will be gratified therefore at the new arrangement of the duties, al though they no doubt would have preferred a differential duty. From advices of August 16 from :New Zealand, it appears that a pitched battle between the nerves, under lick!, and our troops, was daily expected at the Ray of Islands. In papers of September 10, from Sydney, it is stated that the duty upon colonial and imported spirits was expected to be re duced one-half. . _ The following satisfactory information on the state of the Man chester market, has bean kindly furnished us by Messrs. M`Nuir and Co., of that place : " Our last, dated the 31st tilt., would prepare you for the gradual amendment hi the trade of this district. The intervening period has realised our anticipations. Without any animation, and notwith standing the remarkalely anomalous position of the Money Market, which has rendered discounts upon paper of a purely commercial character, almost unattainable, a very considerable business has been transacted during the month on both cloth and yarn, attended with higher prices upon many descriptions of each. Had it not been for the scarcity of money, the improvement would have been much greater, and prices generally would have ruled higher. The latter, however, is net to be regretted, but it is to be lamented that a legiti mate trade should be interrupted and restricted in its expansion by unwarranted and indescribably mischievous speculations. 3latters, however, with respect to the railway deposits cannot remain, we apprehend, much longer as they are. When they Lave terminated, and a relaxation of the present tightness of money becomes available; and when to these may be added the probability of an early settle ment of the corn-law question, a further improvement will occur in business, not only hero, but in ether manufacturing localities." Everything is rising in the English Stock Market, and the further improvement is 4 to per cent. The lodgments with the Ac countant-General being so large, If only a portion of them be invested in stock, the effect upon prices must be very decided, and coupled with the daily purchases for the Sinking Fund, the Courti of Chan cery, &c., must act as a powerful counterpoise to the influence of even the most adverse political events. In fact, with such an hi evitable demand for Stock, the Bears become comparatively power less. Consols have been 95 1 ,& %, but arc now 96% for Money, and 96% for Time. Exchequer-bills have been also again higher, viz., 325. to 365. premium. Bank Stock has been quoted 207% to 208%. New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 99% to %. East India Stock is worth 256 to 258. The Foreign Stocks are firmer ; but, except in Dutch stock, there has not been much doing. Spanish are nominal, Portuguese Four per Cents. realise 60%, Mexican have touched 30%, and Brazilian 83. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 59%, and the Four per Cents. 94% to 95 1 ,x .
