THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, SU'GrST 1.2.; 1846. --""""...44641107•40.416.m.....~111.610.."1". OVER LAN 'D 111 AIL but worthy of the big words with wh ich he began. He and the garrison found they had grievously outwitted themselves They might many weeks since hare marched out with more - than their bundles: they have neither maintained themselves I INT D I A . with gallantry nor surrendered themselves with grace. We ; subjoin the account of the surrender of the fortress from the Delhi Gazette Extra of the 4th inst. " We take the opportunity of the issue of our present Extra to announce the surrender of Kangra, which was evacuated on the 28th May. "The guns (heavy. commenced the ascent of the Mulkera Hill, in prwess to their respective batteries in the town, on the morning of the 28th. This fact became known for certain to the garrison about te'n o'clock. They ceased their fire, and sent a messenger to Deenah Nath, to inti mate their inclination to surrender if their lives were gua ranteed them. The agent to the G.G. declined any other terms but an unconditional submission. Au hour was al lowed them to came out, and lay down their arms. Within this time, about three o'clock, the Killadar (Soondur Singh), accompanied by his Sirdars, came out; they laid down their arms at the gate, and were made over to Captain Goddard, commanding the town, who had previously received all ne cessary instructions; by him they were immediately con ducted to the presence of Major Lawrence, who had ar rived to receive them. Even then the garrison were waver ing. and brought a gun to bear on the party, suspecting treachery. Soondur Singh, however, proceeded to tender his submission on the part of the garrison ; the same having been accepted, he and his followers were immediately per mitted, to return to the fort, and acquaint the inmates that each person would be allowed to bring out one bundle, but nothing more. In an hour's, time men, women, chil dren, and bundles in great numbers made their appear ance, the men laying down their arms as they came out, and giving up their names—Major Lawrence, Mr. John Lawrence (who is, we are happy to say , much better), and others, being quietly seated to look on. They then all passed through the town, with their bundles (containing clothes and cooking utensils), on their heads, protected by extended files of sepoys, to an appointed place of rendezvous under Fort Mulkera. Captain Goddard, with three companies, then marched in, and the British colours were hoisted upon the highest point. All this was so sudden and unexpec ed among the native part of the community, that their astonishment is said to hare been indescribable. Soondur Singh is repre sented as rather a fine but debauched-looking man. The British force, we hear, was to break up about the 31st May— officers and Europeans much disappointed at this result. "The fort was inspected by the political authorities imme diately after its surrender, and found to have ten gates; the masonry massive, but dilapidated. It is believed that some guns and a party of Sappers and Miners would be left with the 44th N.I. The 2d Grenadiers to escort the guns back to the plains." The following is from our correspondent, dated Camp Kote Kangra, 31st Mai, 1846 The Fort of Kotla has not yet given in, and it is expected we shall have the same twee played as at this place; obliged to take up the guns, when they will surrender. "The amount of treasure - found buried in the fort was 79,600r5. Regiments have been ordered to enlist ten men a company from this place, but the men who presented them selves were so old and um:ersiaed that hardly a man was taken. " The following is the order issued by the Brigadier, en the surrender of the fort, 29th Ma, 1846 : " 'On announcing to the troops the surrender of the strong hold Kote Kangra, the Brigadier commanding takes'the op. portunity of expressing his admiration of the conduct of all concerned, in having brought the ordnauce, with its ma terials, over 42 miles of tne most difficult country that he has ever traversed, in the brief space of seven days, a feat unequalled by any on record. He requests that Lieutenant- Colonel Nl' ood will accept, and express to all under his com mand, his grateful acknowledgments of their indefatigable and successful exertions. "'To Captain Napier, performing the duty of chief en gineer, Lieuteuant Crommelin, and the officers and men of the corps of Sappers, as also to Captain James Abbott, Artillery, and Lieutenant Lumsden, 59th N. I. attached to the Political Agency, he offers his sincere thanks for having rendered mountains and torrents for such a distance pass able by heavy guns. " Lieut.-Colonel Spens, and the officers and the men of the 11th Regiment N. I. have entitled themselves to the Bri gadier's warmest encomiums for the cheerful and ready manner in which the most onerous and incessant labours were performed. To his staff, Captain Palmer, and Lieut. J. S. Paton, lie is much indebted, and feels that had the garrison afforded an opportunity, his thanks would have had to be afforded for their gallant bearing with the enemy.' " Cal. Englishman, June 13. (From the Delhi Gazette, June 20.) We have seen a letter which gives such a clear descrip tion of the enormous difficulties overcome by Brigadier Wheeler in the progress of the siege train to Kangra, that we deem it due to that distinguished officer to give an ab stract, which will show how great are the obligations of Government on this, as on the other occasions, to Colonel Wheeler, for we apprehend it is now beyond a doubt that if the guns had not been brought up, the Killadar would never have listened to the voice of the charmer Deena Nath ; even the question of time was one of the greatest importance, as had the progress of the guns been delayed but eight or ten days, the setting in of the rains would have rendered the so-called roads impassable indeed, and it is quite impossible to calculate what the result of a successful defiance of our forces on the part of Soondur Sing might have been ; unfavourable certainly. The dis tance between the right bank of the River Bess, at the point where the train crossed, and the fort of Kangra, is 42 miles, nearly the whole way either along the beds of the river or over hills, some of them of considerable elevation. The two last and most difficult marches were up the bed of the river Guj, a fearfully rapid torrent, varying in depth from two and a half to near four feet, which was crossed no less than 25 times the first day, and 21 the second. On a previous cur sory inspection by an officer of high rankrit had been pro nounced all but impassable for wheeled carriages, as it would, to all appearance, take at least a month, with thousands of labourers, to prepare a road, and a consequent recommenda tion to leave the heavy guns behind was sent in. Colonel Wheeler, however, was determined to overcome every diffi culty, and having been supplied by Major Lawrence and Capt. Abbott with some 1,500 workmen, exclusive, we pre sume, of the Sappers and Miners, and being seconded in the most admirable manner by-all the officers, espeeially these of the Artillery, he did tib, - to the astonishment of tliese *vim had seen the nature of the ground over, or more properly, through which the guns had to pass. No doubt the experience acquired by him in Affghunistan was of great service to Gdotiel Wheeler, and although he has not hid the oppor tunity of distinguishing himself in the more dashing opera tions of a siege, an assault and its inevitable result, had the Killadar remained staunch to his first declarations it must be conceded to him that the honour of the bloodless surrender, with its beneficial consequences in our favour, is entirely his, and that he is fully entitled to a prominent recoghition of 'las services by the Govermnent whom he has so well served . There is one advantage which tea 'attended the move ; sea have placed Kangra, an advanced post in the heart of the kills, in a position to resist any insurrectionary or iuvasionury movement which might by possibility be attempted, and against which a single regiment, with a few old Seikh guns, might not have been adequate, had the fort been quietly sur rendered on the approach of the 44th Native Infantry. We cannot conclude our parting article anent the sieve of Xangra, without bearing testimony to the manner in which that corps conducted itself during the somewhat critical position in which it was placed until the arrival of th . second Grenadiers. It is pleasing to have to speak well of our Jacks, and we shall never lose an opportunity of doing so. SURRENDER OF KO `d` E KANGRA. PtiPe . (From the Herald.)

What Progress i s m aking i n the establishment of a strong Government in the Punjaub we do not learn. What May be meant by the phrase is not easily explained The Mooltan chief appears anxious to come to an baderstanding with the Goverment, and the other tur bulent or recusant feudatories hare begun to lower, or to change their tone. These are, perhaps, the best and Sorest consequences we can look for of the belief that the Wuzeer can compel obedience—a sense of danger, not af duty, being the only guarantee for respect and obe dience. I had before occasion to mention with how much . asto nishment our request to have hospitals constructed for the sick and wounded soldiers of their own army oc e: ii°ll ed yet our request has been attended to, and the hospital proceeded with.

The old Dost seems to be getting on much better than could have been expected ; and his somewhat untractable subjects are quite as quiet as they used to be under any of their - native rulers. Sir C. Napier is at Kurrachee : he has been slightly indisposed of late. He stoutly re pudiates the imputation, that the Governor-General showed him the cold shoulder. Sinde fever, I regret to say, has got into her Majesty's 17th, at Sukkur. I had a letter this morning from one of the officers: He says our men are beginning to die fast. The disease is fever, and so virulent that the patient is often carried off in a few hours. I hope it is not another case of 78th High landers. At Bombay trade is dull, and few operations of any importance attempted. The Governor, Sir George Arthur, is extremely sick— very dangerously so; but be will not be persuaded to quit his post.

A. second time did the Seikhs penetrate into the Yoosufzee country, when the fortune of war declared in their favour, the Yoosufzees being defeated in this second engagement. A single Yoosufzee, called Ursulla Khan, being possessed of a stout heart, and aided by great muscular strength, sus tained the name of his tribe; for by his single' efforts the heads of Many a Seikh rolled on the ground. The blow has been a decisive one, for the country is still in a state of fer ment. Reinforcements were immediately ordered by the Durbar.--Correspondent, 11Infussilite, June 19. "LAHORE, 'luxe 3. Sirdar Tej Singh intimated to the Sirkar this day that a large number of the relatives and con nexions of the Sepoys, killed in the late battles, had come to Lahore to obtain some compensation for the loss they had sustained. He added that it would be politic to afford them some relief. Raja Lall Singh agreed in the recommendation, and ordered that two rupees should be given to those who were sons or brothers of Sepoys, three rupees to such as are similarly connected with Havildars, and four rupees to rela tions of superior officers. From Mooltan we learn that the Sirkaree troops having taken up ground at Cheyout, the Nizam of the province sent out four battalions of infantry, with eight guns and two hundred Straws, to check their fur Pier advance towards Mooltan. This news greatly annoyed Raja Lall Singh, and he asked Nidham Sin g h when Bhaee Ram Singh would' return from Umritser? It was owing to him, he observed, that delays ba d occurred in the settlement of the Mooltan question, and that if he had not interfered be'should - now be in possession of Mooltaro. Nidham Singh replied that he did not think he would return before the second or third day, on . which a Bhiai was at once dispatched to summon Bhaee Ram Singh immediately. Dewan Moolraj, late of Hazareh, reported his arrival in Hussan Abdal, the whole of the territory formerly under his charge having been duly made over to the agents of Maharaja Ghoolab Singh. He stated that he had taken a careful inventory of all the stores in the several forts before making them over. He added, however, that he had as yet received no acknowledgment of the delivery of such stores from the agents. Sirdar Shere Singh wrote from Pesba wur to inform the Sirkar that the Kobistanee troops had mutinied against their officers, and had turned a number of them out of their camp. He thereupon did all he could to restore goodwill amongst them, and bad succeeded so far that the men had consented to receive the officers back. He sadded that the Yoosufzee country was in such a disturbed tate that it was absolutely necessary to send troops there, but he had so few at his disposal that it was as absolutely requisite to wait the arrival of General Mehtab Singh. Baba Nahan Singh intimated that the people of Raja Ghoolab Singh had taken possession of some villages in his Jagheer, which were within the Sirkaree boundary. Ordered that a pur wannah be addressed to Dewan Bishen Singh to repel by force the aggressions of the people of Ghoolab Singh. About four o'clock Raja Lall Singh deputed Nehal Singh, Chachee, and Khan Singh, Kohareea, to receive Major Macgregor. On his appearance the Maharaja himself and Raja Lall Singh met him at the door and conducted him to a chair in Sbeesh Muhul. The differences with Maharaja Ghoolab Singh were the chief topic of conversation. Khodabuksh, Kotwal, has been directed to pull down all the long spouts along the houses towards the streets. " JUNE 4.—Mja Lall Singh went this morning out to Meean Meer. On his return to the durbar an urzee was read from Dewan Moolraj, Nizam of Mooltan, intimating that the Sirkaree agents Lad reached Mosher, and that he was fully prepared to accept the terms they bad submitted to him, on condition of the Sirkar acceding to those which he in turn thought it right to propose. The agents wrote at the same time to say that there seemed little chance of the terms they had proposed being accepted, adding that the Dewan was preparing himself to the best of his ability for resistance. They suggested that if the terms were modified, and the one requiring the presence of the Dewan at Lahore were expunged, it might be possible to make some arrange ment. A very general purwannah was sent in reply to the Dewan, and a more specific one to the agents, authorising them to modify the terms according to their suggestions. Misr Releea Rain presented an urzee from the Dardar of his ter ritory, stating that he had, in compliance with the orders given to him, proceeded to enforce the evacuation of the fort of Futeeabad, and to take possession of the villages be longing to Nehal Singh, Alloowallah, situated this side (the Lahore side) of the River Bess. when lie found the -gates closed, and the sepoys determined to keep possession until an order was produced from their own Birder for the surrender. Nehal Singh hearing of this, instead of com manding obedience, had sent over more troops to help the garrison ; and it appeared impossible for him to reduce the fort unless troops were sent to his assistance. Sirdar Tej Singh said it would be better to consult on this matter with the Governor-General's agent, as this was a question of importance, Nehal Singh having been in possession of Futeeabad for many years. According to the Peshawur news-letters, the Yoosufzee chiefs are continuing very refractory, and reinforcements are absolutely required in that province. Orders were issued forthwith to General Khan Singh, Sirdar Boor Singh, and others in command of troops at Rawul Pindee, to lose no time in proceeding to Peshawur as soon after the receipt of the purwannah, as possible. Sirdar Shere Singh was directed at the same time to proceed in person to the Yoosufzee country with as many troops as he could muster to put down the dis turbers of the peace. Misr Bhagwan Singh wrote that he had at length obtained possession of the fort of Pindee Bhutteean ; the Killadar bad proceeded towards Mooltan, and he had appointed another officer to the charge. Ordered that Misr Bhugwan Singh be directed to halt at Cheyout. Releea Ram, Choupra, was directed to inform the Zumindars of such villages of the Alloowallah Sirdar as were in the neigh bourhood of Lahore, that they were to pay their revenue to the Sirkar and to no one else. Rae Kishen Chund wrote to say that Dewan Deena Nati& had gone to Kotela to procure , the evacuation of that fort; that on his arrival the garrison had demanded their pay, on which the Dewan agreed to give them 10,000r5., and they gave up the place. ." JUNE 5.—A council was this day held, at which the Ranee herself was present with Raja Lail Singh and Sirdar Tej Singh, when the question of paying the Suwars ter• months' pay, as suggested by the agent, was discussed, and at which it. was stated that this measure would, in the first place, entail a great outlay of money, and in the second induce almost every Suwar to quit the service. It was de termined that a letter should be written t Major ' Mac gregor, suggesting that he bad been appointed to aid and profeet the , Durbar, and not to afford, assistance to the Suwars, by which much danger was inCurrec'. Ithaleefa Neer-ood-deep was sent with the letter. Major Macgregor, said, in reply, that the Durbar alone were the cause of all the annoyance they complained of. It had been the intention of the Governor. General to suggest the appointment of Raja .Ghoolab Singh to the Wuzeerut, as the only man capable of :performing its duties, but that the Durbar retuned to listen. Moreover, nothing was more deSirable to the. British than that they should be called upon to quit Lahore. The Khaleefa replied that as the Durbar dids not approve of the arrangements made by the BritiSh, they had better be per rititted•toseend .fort,Raja Ghoolab Singh. This Major Mac gregor said was impossible. The Ranee was not at all pleased at the answer of Major Macgregor, and is said to have observed that if the British were so anxious to quit Lahore, she had no . desire to hold them Sirdar Tej Singh did all in his power to appease the lady. Juwahur Mull was ordered b y Raja Lall Singh to proceed at onc e to join Misr BliagwanSingh, and having done so, the two are to proceed onwards towards DrOoltan and eject Dewan Mool raj without further delay, the Misr having been appointed to succeed him in the government of Mooltau. Mutsooddun Pundit was then summoned, and Raja Lall Singh having asked him what time would be favourable for his installation as Wuzeer and Mookhteear, he replied that exactly four ghurrees (one hour and 20 minutes) after sunrise would be the propitious hour, on which immediate notice was sent to all the Sirdars to present themselves with their nuzzurs. The Maharaja was seated on a golden chair, the kbelut was placed before his Highness and touched by him, whereon Bhaie Ram Singh tied the chega (sirpech) on the forehead of the Raja; he then placed a pearl necklace round his neck and performed other ceremonies. The khelut was altogether very splendid, and consisted of 41 pieces. Sirdar Tej Singh was at the same time presented with a khelut of 31 pieces ie token of his being invested with the supreme command of the Aden troops. Several Sirdars thereupon presented each 11 pieces of gold as nuzzurs. Sirdar Tej Singh devoted an offering of 500 rupees on behalf of Raja Lall Singh, Sirdar Kahn Singh, Majeetees, on presenting his nuzzur, was in formed that he should be appointed commander of all the cavalry, and receive his kbelut on the morrow or next day at such hour as should be pronounced favourable. " JUNE 6.—Ate urzee arrived from the Peshawur news writer, stating that Share Singh having himself gone out against the Yoosufzees, had beaten them and taken up a position in their country. Meea Dass, newawriter in the camp of Misr Bhagwan Singh, wrote to say that the officers of the place where they are encamped had submitted, and that they bad all been assured of safety for their lives and property. • Mullicic Futteh Khan, Tawana, intimated that he was about to depute his sister's son, Share Mahomed, to Misr Ameer Chund, to make the necessary arrangements for the collection of revenue in the territories which had been made over.to him. Mukeelull presented a letter from John Lawrence Saheb, and also one from Bhag Singh. Raja Lall Singh made them over to Fuqueer Noor-ood-deen, saying they would be read on the morrow. Major Macgregor wrote to desire Raja Lall Singh to place 21 bearers at. Khan kuch, Lulleeanee, and Kussor for the accommodation of gen tlemen going to and coming from Ferozepore. Orders issued accordingly. Rae Kishen Chund wrote that Dewan Deena Nath having obtaired the surrender of Kotela, had gone on to the temple at. Joala Mookee. " JUNE 7.—Dewan Moolraj, late of Hazareh, writes from Hussun Abdall, to say that he considered it absolutely necessary to have cantonments at Katur and other places which he named, offering to make the necessary arrange ments. Ordered that Hussun Abdall should be made a cantonment, and that a fort should be estall!ished at Katur. General Mehtab Singh and Sirelar Bhoor Singh were told to stand fa-t at Hussun Abdall, as Shere Singh had defeated the Yoosufzees, and because it was the intention of the Sir kar to depute Dewan Mnolraj into that country. Purwan nabs were at the same time sent to the Dewan, desiring him to proceed on to Peshawar, and when he should have com pleted his inquiries there, to return to Hussun Abdall and superintend the new arrangements there. Another was sent to Shere Singh, approving of all he had done, declining to give the Increase of pay he solicited for the officers in testi mony of their valour, but granting a donation of 1,400 rupees amongst those engaged.' News came from Mooltan that Dewan ?iloolraj had intimated to the Sirkaree agents his in tention of sending a Vakeel of his own to Lahore, and that they must remain with him until that Vakeel should return from the cipital Baja Lall Singh having heard that the agent to the Governor - Gen eral was about to proceed from Kangra to Jumoo, appointed amide Singh, Keroulwallah, to make arrangements for his pros ress, and for supplying his camp with whatever might be required. "Juts B.—Bliag Singh wrote that the agent to the Governor-General would in all probability proceed towards Simlah and not to Jamoo, and that John Lawrence Saheb hail gone tow, rds Kulloo, Ilundee, &c. He also announced that Colonel Smith Saheb would return to Lahore from Kangra in a few days. He further stated that Rae Kishen Chum!, having taken leave from the agent to the Go vernor-General had gone toward•Loodianah, to make some arrangements about his Havilee and Jagbeen Raja Lall Singh sent for Chunda Singh and told him it was not neces sary to proceed on his n ission. It is known that Jussmull is again the agent whom Dewan Moolraj has appointed to arrange his disputes with the Sirkar, and that only one of the Sirkaree Vakeels, Morad Buksh, has accompanied him on his way back, the otherupeing told to remain at Lahore, pending the conclusion ofliegotiations. The Ksrdars of Deenanuggur, Umritser, and another place, were directed to make preparations of the returns for Colonel Smith Saheb." THE FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT LOODIANAII. (From the Delhi Gazette of May 27.) We give a copy of the order issued on the melancholy oc casion by Colonel Salter, which does honour to his feelings:— " May 21, Station orders, by Lieut.-Col. Salter, "11th Light Cavalry. "It is with deep distress the commanding officer an nounces to the troops at the station the calamitous disaster, accompanied with the fearful loss of life of upwards of 80 persons killed and 135 wounded, which occurred yesterday evening to her Majesty's 50th Foot. During the height of the storm, the whole of the barracks of the regiment, including the hospital, were suddenly blown down, burying men, women, and children in the ruins. The loss of so many valu able lives, and so soon after the arduous campaign, from which the corps returned, crowned with victory and distinc tion, is doubly distressing, and the commanding officer feels sure, that every man and officer will join with him in deeply sympathising with the gallant regiment in its severe cala mity." The following letter was received this morning, and is so well deserving a prominent place in our columns, that we give it at once : " Loodianah, May 22, 1846. " This station has just been the scene of one of the most heart-rending catastrophes ever witnessed in India. On the evening of the 20th a dreadful tuflaun, succeeded by heavy rain, razed the entire European barracks occupied by the 50th Regiment to the ground, sending upwards of 80 souls into eternity, besides inflicting most serious injuries on nearly 200 of the survivors. The scene which ensued baffles all descriptien. The officers were in instant attendance and exerted themselves to the utmost in extricating the unfor tunate occupiers of the devoted buildings; the groans of the dying and cries of the wounded were most harrowing. Husbands, wives, and mothers in agonising suspense await ing the removal of the ruins which was to reveal the muti lated remains of those most dear to them, all constituted a tout ensemble of the most heart-breaking woe, which will never be forgotten by those who witnessed it. "The evening and greater part of the following day were occupied in carrying away the dead, and at noon on the 21st upwards of 80 bodies were ranged in the dead house, a feat ful and heart-rending spectacle; some of the finest men in the corps have been amongst the killed, as also many women and children. It is really most distressing to contemplate such loss of life, which might have all been prevented by ordinary precaution on the part of the authorities. " The remains of the unfortunate victims were conveyed to their ,last resting place on the eVenifig of the 21st. • • ttFOur more bodies were consigned to the grave on the 22d. "The storm' which concentrated its fury on the unfortu nate barracks at Loodianah seems to have been felt all over the country, though of course at different hours of the day. We hear of heavy rain, thunder, and lightning, at Agra, and a letter, froth l'erozeixtre of the, 21st says, that yester7 day we had one of the EArozepore dust storms, at, times as dark Its night: sundry animals have been lost, but fortu nately no human beings lost or killed, though wells are plen tiful in compliments, and the dust worse than the darkest sight: " Our Lahore news is more interesting than usual. We were anxious to know under what circumstances the Raja of Ladwa had been given up to our authorities, and are not at all surprised to hear that it was by an unmitigated act of treachery on the part of Raja Lall Singh. The British po litical officers, knowing the Raja to be concealed within the Seikh territory, applied for the surrender of his person. Lall Singh promised compliance, and having induced the Raja to come to Lahore from his place of sanctuary, under the most positive assurances that he would make his peace with the Governor-General, he was seized on his arrival in Lahore and delivered to the political officers, all the offers of large sums of money to obtain terms for him being made merely as a blind to save appearances. Raja Lall Singh is said to be so elated v ith the success of his manoeuvres against the Nazim of Mooltan, and considers his Government now so firmly established, that he is actually meditating a re quisition to our Government to withdraw our troops from Lahore ! THE RAJA OF LADWA.-Our latest letters from Loodi anah mention the arrival at the station, on the morning of the 23d instant, of the Raja of Ladwa. He was to be sent off to Umballah forthwith under escort of a troop of the 11th Light Cavalry.--Ibid. COMMERCIAL. BOMBAY, JUNE 27, Since our last, there has been nothing doing in the mar ket, but we notice a speculative demand for copper in sheets and tiles; holders, however, are firm, and 48% rs. per cwt. has been offered and refused for the latter. Dyed Yarn—Orange has improved, and we hear an offer of 11% annas per lb. for No. 40 hai been refused. Turkey red continues as before. Freight—Rather scarce. 2/. 12s. Gd. to 21. 155. for Liver pool, 3/. for London and the Clyde, and to China 9 rs. per candy, are the rates of the d y. Exchange appears higher, owing to a supply of bills from Calcutta and China, but we have heard of no transactions. On China the rate is rs. 207. Specie to a large amount has been shipped to Calcutta per Mor and Amherst ; and since 1 the mail arrived, Company's drafts at 60 days' sight have been sold at rs. 101% to 101%. Cotton—The market continues steady as before, and we have heard of the following purchases :-400 bales Broach and Jumbooser, at 82 rs' • 1,000 at 81i; 1,000 Surat at 83 . The latter description this year has been of better quality, / and has commanded throughout the season a few ru p ees more than the former. The commercial in4elligence brought by the steamer ar rived on the morning of the 21st instant, is less encouraging than the preceding packet indicated; but, pending the fate or the important Government measure , beAn'e Parliament, permanent improvement can hardly be expected. The worst feature seems to be a prevailing doubt as to the future course of the money market, which a large failure in the Levant trade, with other causes, bad somewhat disturbed. DISTRIBUTION OF THE MEEANEE MEDALS. (From the Gentleman's Gazette of June 1.) We have the pleasure of - laying before our readers an ac count of the address of Sir Charles N.pier to the regiments at Kurrachee on presenting to them the Meeanee medals. The address is characteristic, and speaks home to the bosom of soldiers., native as well as European ; it will be read with feelings of pride and satisfaction in every part of the British empire. The address was as follows: " Soldiers! the battlebf Mceanee is among those of which history will spesk a proving the superiority of diFeiplin. over numbers; and it is well, soldiers, that we should dwell upon these things, that we may understand how medals are won and why they are bestowed.

Thus, sol diers, are medals won, more by discipline than by any extraordinary efforts of individual courage. To reward this obedience medals are bestowed, so that every man who wears this honoured badge is known to the work'. as one who, in the midst of the noise, the danger, and confusion of battle, had obeyed his orders and performed the three great duties of a soldier—first, not to fire without orders; next, when he does fire to level low, so as to make sure of striking down an enemy ; thirdly, to keep his ranks and dress upon his colours. The medal tells the world that he has bravely done these things, and no man can walk with one of these medals on his breast without feeling the conscious pride of an intrepid soldier ! Ilis caste may be high caste, or it may be low caste, but the soldier who bears on his breast a medal won in battle is above all the castes in the world. The pleasure of giviug you these medals, soldiers of the 12th Regiment, is indeed great to me. I your valiant conduct, and rejoice in distributing the reward which you honourably earned, and my satisfac tion is increased by the presence of so large a body of Europeans, for it affords me an opportunity of saying to my countrymen that they will find these swarthy warriors of the East staunch and true in action as they were at Meeanee and Ilydrabad, wl.en they followed the example set them by the glorious 22d Regiment. They will fight to the last drop of their blood, and stand or fall by the side of their European comrades. If the Almighty so wills it that in these eventful times war should again arise, and that I ant once more permitted to lead an army into the field, I should go into action with perfect confidence in the courage of the native troops. I speak of what I know of their gallantry, not from what I hear but from what I have seen, and from my own knowledge of their daring courage. " Here I must address myself in a more direct manner to the officers now before me, and in justice to them say, that their conduct and the conduct of all the British officers in these two battles was very noble. For several hours the two lines were fighing close to each other, and as I cart my eye along the field, I everywhere saw the British officers display their worthiness as military leaders and with unflinching intrepidity animating their soldiers to battle! To them, thereforo will now first distribute these honourable deco rations." The governor then dismounted, and advancing to the line of officers of several regiments, and who had not before re ceived their medals, his Excellency presented each with the medal—the bands playing "God save the Queen." "On giving that which belonged to Lieut. Marston, of the 25th N. 1.; the General observed—" But for you, Marston, I probably should not, have had this pleasure," all u ding to this officer having intrepidly thrown himself in front of his General when attacked by a Belooch Chief, whom the Lieu ,enant cut down ere he could reach the General. (From the Bengal Durham of June 8.) CALCUTTA COMMERCIAL REPORT. EXPORTS. The express of the 24th of April mail came in on the 4th instant, and the Hindostan on the following day. The market advices are on the whole rather more favourable than had been generally anticipated from the tenor of previous accounts. The geleral aspect of our commercial affairs has in no respect undergone any change for the better, and our present report must be merely a repetition of the last. Money is as tight as ever, the. Bank as stringent, and exchange up to 2s. 2d. Most exports are lower, but still offer little induce ment to those who are in a position to ship, and the quantity brought down on the first rise of the rivers will probably cause a further decline. AMERICAN NEWS• LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. We have New York papers of the 16th by the packet-ship Fidelia, Captain Hackstaff. These papers, though nominally a day later, contain but little, as the papers of the 15th, made up for the steamer, bring the news down to a later hour than on ordinary days of publication. Wa have, however, one full day's later news from Washington. . • Tbe Senate was occupied with the Tariff Bill, but no division had been come to ; it seems most probable, however, that it will pass with some few alterations. Mr. Webster is most energetic in his opposition to the Bill, and bad pre sented a memorial from the copper manufacturers against it, but was unsuccessful on a division in endeavouring to get the petitioners a besring. This looks favourable for the Bill The Warehouse Bill had passed by a vote of 31 to 20. It was expected that a vote would be taken on the merits of the new Tariff Bill in the course of a day or two. On the 15th the House of Representatives passed the Treasury Note Bill by a vote of 108 to 47, and were engaged in discussing the sum required for payment of volunteers, but no division was come to. The. Washington Union, of the 14th, publishes the follow ing relative to the finances of the United States:— " The following interesting document was this day trans mitted to the Senate of the United States, by the Secretary of the Treasury : " Treasury Department, July 13, 1846. "Sir,—Herewith is respectfully submitted an answer to so much of the resolution of the Senate, of the 29th of June last, as requires a statement of the revenue received from the customs for the three first quarters of the present year, and the amount expected from that source for the fourth quarter. "It will be perceived that, whilst in the first quarter of the fiscal year terminating on the 30th of June, 1846, there was a loss of 2.011,785 dolls. 90c., as compared with the cor responding quarter of the precding year; and whilst the revenue received during the two mouths of the succeeding quarter, to the date of my annual report of December last, very nearly corresponded with the amount received during the same period of the same quarter of the preceding year, the amount received during the two last quarters of the fiscal year terminating on the 30th of June, 1846, exceeded that received during the two corresponding quarters of the preceding year 1,040,000 dolls. "That is, whilst during the first five months of the fiscal rear terminating on the 30th of June, 1846, which had elapsed at the date of my annual report of December last, there was a diminution of the revenue from customs, as compared with the first five months of the preceding fiscal year, of nearly two millions of dollars; yet, in the seven last months of the fiscal year terminating on the 30th of June, 1846, there was an increase of the revenue, compared with the corresponding seven months of the preceding year, of about 140,000 dollars; thus raising the aggregate revenue of the year ending the 30th June, 1846, to 26,681,915 dollars, 42 cents. Whereas, if the decrease of revenue for the last seven months of that year had corresponded in the same ratio the first five months it would have reduced the revenue for the fiscal year terminating on the 30th of June, 1846, to about 23,500,000 dollars. instead of 24,500,000 dollars, as estimated by this department in December last. " The receipts from customs for the fiscal year terminating on the 30th of June, 1845, and for the first three q uarters of the fiscal Tear ending on the 30th of June, 1846, are given from the official returns for money actually paid into the treasury. " The official returns for money actually paid into the treasury for the last quarter of the fiscal year ending on the 30th June, 1845, are not quite fully completed, but can vary only a very small sum from the amount given in the estimate of 6,270,(100 dollars. " It will be perceived that the receipts into the treasury from customs for the fiscal year ending on tl:e 30th of June, 1846, are less than the receipts for the fiscal year preceding, by the sum of 84,619,728 dollars. " The remainder of the information called for is in the course of preparation, and will in a few days be communi cated to the Senate. Most respectfully, your obedient servant, "R. J. 'WALKER, Secretary of the Treasury. To Hon. George M. Dallas, Vice-President of the United States and President of the Senate."

" Army of Occupation, June 24, 1846. " Some volunteers have arrived at Brazos Santiago from Tennessee, presumed to be of the twelvemonth's quota. The volunteers which previously arrived from New Orleans have nearly all moved to Barite, except two regiments in this place. I shall bring them up the river as soon as I can pro cure transportation. The volunteers from Texas are en camped near Point Isabel, and are now organising under the direction of the Governor. " We have no authentic intelligence from the interior of Mexico. The army at Linarez is believed to be moving to wards Monterey, much reduced in numbers by desertion and sickness. It is rumoured that Bustamente is at the head of the Government, and that Paredes is advancing with a large force to this frontier." The following is from a private letter:— (Correspondence of the Newark Daily Advertiser.) " Camp United States Army, Matamoras, June 27. " The enemy is gathering in force at Monterey, which they are rapidly fortifying. We exoect to march against them in a few weeks; the result is in the hands of the God of battles. The 7th Infantry left to-day per steamer Nerve, to take possession of Camargo, a place about one hundred miles up the river; the first regiment is already at lieynoso, sixty miles above us, which they took without the slightest opposition. " Several steamers are now running on the Rio Grande. " The Mexican Government had issued a decree, dated June 6th, declaring all goods shippedinto Mexico by way of Matamoras, previous and since its occupation by the Ame rican army, confiscated and liable to seizure." The Great Britain and the Cambria steamers will both be due in Liverpool on Thursday next, and are anxiously awaited. than lu r U t f t e c a l e wereof produce REPORT ON THE HOME MARKETS.

GRAND JURY CESS. _ On the motion of the same NOBLE Loan, the Grand Jury Ireland) Assessor Bill went throneh Committee. FLOGGING IN THE ARIMY. Ea-1 FORTESCUE presented a petition from the inhabit ants of Devon, praying fur the ab.ilit ion of flogging in the army. He did not altogetns r concur with every prayer in the petition, but lie rejoiced to learn by the declaration of a Noble Friend of his in anoth, r place that there was to be a restriction of this sort of punishment. He trusted that the Noble Duke, whom he now saw in his place (the Duke of Wellington), would in time be ready to give his assent to those views which would look to an early abolition of this punishment. He would take this . o portunity of s tati ng th a t, h av i ng b een l o ng attquamted with the officer whose name had been prominently bri unlit fore ard in this matter, it was only fair to say that that officer was the son of a country gentleman in his neighbour hood, who had a large family to bring up on very small means. That officer, from the possession of but little more than his re gimental pay, had been unable to obtain any of his steps in the army except by merit, and he, therefore, thought that all fair ness ought to be shown to him. Certainly he was the last person in the world to commit an unnecessary, not to say a wanten act, of cruelty. The Earl of RADNOR presented petitions to the same effect, in lhe prayer of which, however, he could not altogether agree. Lord BROUGHAM would allude to the motions which he had made. in 1811. 1812, and 1813, which were attacks upon flogging, and he did not hesitate to say, that although those motions had led to much debate, he had, upon deliberate converse with the Noble Duke (the Duke of Wellington) and with his Noble Friend opposite, come to the con clusion that it was necessary to alter his opinion. Nothing could he more wrong and unjust than the strictures on the colonel in the late affair, who was far from rigorous in his general demeanour to those under his command. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, he had no doubt what ever tl,at there was not the smallest ground for blame on the officer who had just been alluded to (Colonel Whyte) in the unfortunate transaction that had recently taken place. Ile had no doubt that this punishment should be diminished in the greatest possible degree. When he bad the honour to have the command of the army he made every effort to diminish punishment, and that had been the principle of ad the best commanding officers ever since he commanded a regiment. But the fact was, that it would be impoisible to carry on discipline it the army without some punishment of this de scriptor). That had beers found Lobe the case where it had been discontinued, namely, in the West Indies, where it was found necessary to re-establish it, owing to the absolute impossibility of carrying on discipline without some punishment of this description. In concert with the feeling of Government, of Parliament, and of the public, he had thought it his duty to give an order to diminish greatly severity in the army.— ( Hear.) With the arrangements that might be made in future and the alteration of the law, it was his hope that it might be still further diminished, so far as to lead to its entire dis continuance. But, if they were to have an army, they must have it in a state of discipline, they must have it in a state of subordination and in obedience to society. Their Lordships must recollect that the country did not like an army under any circumstances, nor would it bear any but the best troops in every part of this country in which they were emplosod. In order that the troops should be of service to thi country, it was necessary to have a perfect state of discipline and subordination. He could assure their Lordships that, in the per ormance of their various duties, they had the best troops in the world. They were constantly required to attend embarkations of convicts from this country to Australia. These convicts, whom they had to attend constantly, sometimes amounted to between 300 and 400, and he did not recollect a single instance of misconduct on the part of any Lon-com missioned officer Now this was g,iing on every day. He wished. however, to entreat their Lordships to believe that they could not have an army deprived of discipline, subordination, and good order.—(Hear, hear,) He repeated, that he trusted that such a decrease of punishment would take place in the army as would lead to its entire abolition The Puke of GII AFTON said he wished to ask the Noble Duke if he soldiers who had behaved so decorously had been • promoted for their services? The Duke of WELLINGTON answered in the affirmative. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. Messengers from the House of Commons brought up certain Bills. ABUSES OF THE FACTORY SYSTEM. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH said that he had a petition to present from the inhabitants of Ashton-under-Lyne, signed in public meeting assembled, with reference to the trial and conviction of eleven children, for having absented themselves from their work for half a day. Many of the poor children had been imprisoned with hard labour, and all ot them were im prisoned with felons, and the most abandoned characters. The petitioners stated that such circumstances were of fre quent occurrence in the manufacturing districts, and they prayed rarltament to take souls. steps to prevent their repeti tion The petitioners called the attention ot the House to the fact that two boys of thirteen years of age were put upon the treadmill with two boys of fourteen and fifteen years re spectively. The Earl of RADNOR presented a petition against the Bill for the regulation of the joint stock banks tf Ireland and Scotland. It was numerously signed by the unchartered banks of Scotland. The Earl of St. GERMANS hoped that his Noble Friend the Vice-President of the Board of Trade would not postpone ibis Bill until another session. He knew that his Right Hon. Friend the late Chancellor of the Exchequer had paid a great deal of attention to the subject, and as he (the Earl of St. Germans) considered it to be a very good measure, he hoped that it would become the law of the land without delay.—(Hear, hear.) He really thought that his Noble Friend who had first spoken did not really understand the provisions of the Bill. The Bill did not propose to affect in any way the present banks of Scotland. If the proprietors of those banks sought for charter, then certainly they would come under the opera tions of the Bill (which would extend to Scotland the same privileges es were enjoyed Ise England). To him the Bill appeared to be most simple and unob jectionable. It would compel those banks that would come untier its oporation to give the names of their partners, the amount of capital, the position of bank, the number of the shareholders, and the value of tho shares, &c. After all the bankruptcies and miseries Oat had happened under the old Joint Stock Companies' law, it did appear to him that this Bill ought not to be postponed for a single day, as it would confer great benefits on the people of Scotland. Lord KINNAIRD thought, that after what had fallen from the Noble Earl, it was necessary for him to contradict some ot his statements with regard to the horrors, miseries, and bank ruptcies which had taken place in Seotland.—( Hear, hear.) Earl ST. GERMANS—I said in England Lord KINNAIRD still maintained that tne same remarks as applied toEngland, applied to Scotland with reference to banking. All parties connected with banking in Scotland hail expressed themselves in the strongest terms against this Bill. The present system had worked to the satisfaction of all parties in Scotland, and after the deputations that had waited upon Sir Robert Peel with respect to it, previous to the late change of Ministry, it was hoped that the Bill would be hung up, for this session at least, and he therefore protested against it being pressed forward at so late a period of the session. The bankers of Scotland, as well as the landed gentry, had ex pressed themselves most decidedly against the Bill. He must certainly complain of the hurried manner in which Government was passing this Bill through. The Bill had taken the bankers of Scotland by surprise, and he thought for the present it ought not to be persisted in. The Earl of CLARENDON said it would have been much better had this discussion taken place when the Bill came be fore their Lordships; hut, at all events, he trusted the question would not be discussed a second time.--( Hear, hear.) Now he must express his surprise at the statement of the Noble Lord that the Scotch bankers had been taken by surprise. It was introduced by the Right Hon. Gentleman the late Chan cellor of the Exchequer last year, but owing to the neceessity for poroguing Parliament earlier than was expected, the Bill was postponed. On the 16th of July, notice was given that the Bill would be read a second time on the 22d of the month. When that day came the Government were asked to delay the second reading till the 30th, in order to receive a deputation from the Scotch bankers against the Bill. When that depu' ation was received, the only reason given by them against the Bill was that the banking interest of Scotland had been taken by surprise. Under these circumstances, there fore, the Government determined on proce.ding with the Bill. There was only one division in the other House on the Bill when but 14 voted against it. It was then sent up to this House. Lord Eglinton at first opposed it, because he thought it was against the interests of the unchartered banks, but he afterwards found out that he was mistaken, and withdrew his opposition. The provisions of the Bill were simply to extend those of the English Banking Act to Scotland. The Act had worked extremely well in England, and would, be had no doubt, do so in Scotland. After a few words from the Earl of RADNOR, to the effect that he trusted better reasons than had been given would be brought forward ere the Bill passed. the subject dropped. TITHE AAIENDIVIENT BILL. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, this Bill went through Commit•ee, and was ordered to be read a third time on Thursday next. DEBATE ON THE SUGAR DUTIES. The Bishop of OXFORD was desirous to draw the attention of their Lordships to a matter personal to himself, though it was not wholly personal to himself. He alluded to the unusual course adopted last night with respect to the sugar duties in taking the debate on th.. Ft. first, instead of the second reading of that measure. He was entirely ignorant of that arrange ment, and the consequence was that the debate went forth to the public without his having taken any part in it, although it was his determination to have done so. As far as their Lord ships were concerned, his absence might not be of much con sequence, but he considered that such a departure irosn the ordinary course was a personal injustice to himself, as he was most desirous to have had an opportunity of entering his protest against the measure. He said he was anxious to tak d e . that opportunity of saying that something like an un derstan t ing having been come to that there would be no fu rther deb e on the second reading, he, being no party to that_ agreement, could not be bound by ally such agreement. H d h. I not stand alone ; he had been requested to mention th e did behalf of the Right Rev. Prelate the Bi-hop of London, who though he was was equally ignorant of any arrangement, resent at an early part of the . n The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said welling could be further from the intentions of Noble Lords en that side the [louse than to take any course whirls would exclude any Noble Lord from taking part in the 4 1 eba•es. Lord BROUGHAM—There was no understanding. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said there was a common consent that the whole business on the Bill should be opened on the first reading; but it was not intended thereby to ex clude any party who thought proper to re-open the debate on the second reading. The Bishop of OXFORD said he did not mean that he supposed it had been the intention of Noble Lords to exclude any, but he lamented that he, and others with him, not being privy to that arrangement, had been excluded from taking part in the discussion. Lord BROUGHAM said that no one suffered more than he did, having come 300 miles to attend the House a week earlier than he intended ; but at the same time he felt the arrange ment to be a great convenience at that time of the session, when many of their Lordships were leaving for the country, but he felt nothing more than the absence of the Right Hon. l'relate from the debate. That the name of Wilberforce should be left out in a debate on slavery and the slave trade was unusual, and anything hut agreeable to them. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE laid upon their Lordships' talk the minutes of the Committee of the Privy Council on Education, also the sixth report of the Commission on the Fine Arts. ANOTHER MURDER AND SUICIDE.—During the last week the district around Battel, in Sussex, was painfully excited by the occurrence of one of those tragical transactions—murder and sui cide, which of late have unhappily been frequently enacted in various parts of the kingdom. The scene of this dreadful affair is at the village of Whattington, a few miles distant from Battel. According to the evidence adduced before the coroner at the inquest, it appeared that a labourer, named Freeland, had been coir".ned to his bed for ten weeks, but latterly he had so far re , covered as to be able to wander about the house. On Sunday evening, a woman named Davis took the child from the mother (who was lighting the fire), and, presenting it to the father, said, " Here is your father." Ile replied, " I shall not have anything to say to it, for when I nurse it I get in the wrong, and am blowed up." His wife then looked up at him, and observed, " I wish it would please God to take me and the baby this night." Upon which Freeland made answer , " If it does, I hope it will please God to take you to heaven." She then took the child, and in a few minutes left the house in an excit ed state, and hours passing and she not returning, search was made for her, and late in the evening her body and that of the c hild were found in a neighbouring pond. Evidence was given s howin g that Freeman and his wife generally lived very happily 'together, and were ex‘'essively fond of the child. The jurc returned a verdict, " That the deceased wire destroyed her self and child while in a state of temporary insanity." DA RING ROBBERY OF ANCIENT COINS, &C.— On Monday information was received by the police, that between the hours of seven and eight o'clock that morning, a most daring robbery was committed at the residence of Mr. George Gwilt, Union-street St. Saviour's, Southwark, and the following valuable property carried off :—Between 500 and 600 silver coins (Roman), a large number of gold coins (English and Roman), a silver pepper-box and silver mus tard-spoon, a silver table-spoon, mid a very elegant silver-gilt snufl• box with the following inscription on it:—" Presented to George ()wilt, Esq., architect, F.S.A., in admiration of his able restoration of the beautiful specimen of the early English architectnre, the Ladye Chapel, St. Saviour's, Southwark, to which he gratuitously gave his scientific and valuable services, A.D., 1e42." It is not known how the thief obtained access to the premises. DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF KILDARE.—The Right Rev. D. Lindasay, Bishop of Kildare, died on Saturday at Glasneven, near Dublin. He had nearly reached his 90th year. BLOCKADE OF TUE TEMPLE.—The carriage entrances to the Temple arc now completely blocked up, the principal one at Middle Temple-lane, th. 1 stoppage of Fleet-street, and the other at King's Bench-walk, by the formation of new sewers in Whitefriars. The only convenient access now is from Essex-street, Strand, which is the neareit point for a carriage to stand ; and Fleet-street will shortly be almost impassable even for foot passengers. THE CYDER SEASON.—The failure of the apple crop in Herefordshire has led to a great increase in the price of cyder, the supply of which , ill the present season, ilagd• expec te ted to bo very _ TREATY OF VIENNA. Lord BEAUMONT rose to call the attention of their Lord ship. to the subject of which he had given notice, with reference to events which had taken place in Cracow and its neighbour • hood, and the violation of the treaty of Vienna. He founded his claim to the attention of their Lordships on three ground,— . . , first, upon the ground of necessity to enforce those tesei!ee sa which this was a party; secondly, upon the great question of political interest and the great European question of the bee lance of power with which it was involved; and, thirdly, upon the broad ground of humanity, because the events to which he referred hid taken place in flagrant violaton of common law, and the rights of humanity, and of civilisation, such as he trusted would never be again repeated, and which, be believed, if their Lordships took I,p the question, as they were bound to do, never would occur again. Their Lordships were aware that a special treaty had been entered into with Vienna by Russia and Austria, and he main tained that the treaty had been violated in its letter and its spirit. He referred to events which occurred so early as the month of January, when reports were circulated of an out break being apprehended in Vienna. When there was an ap prehension of an outbreak, the conduct of Austria differed ma terially from that of Prussia. Prussia, when made aware of the circumstances, took steps to arrest and prevent the antici pated outbreak, and those who were likely to take part in it , were arrested. In Austria no such precautions were taken to arrest suspected persons, or put a cheek to the outbreak by placing troops in a position 10 crush it at the moment of its rising,. Towards the 17th of February the murmurs of an outbreak increased. Cracow, it should be recolleteed. was a per fectly independent power—as independent as France or any other country. The Government might have been alarmed, and expressed that alarm to Austria, but at this time no dangerous proceedings took place ; but on the 18th, to the astonishment of every person in Cracow, an Austrian alloy, under the command of General Collin, marched into the town. A sudden pause was thus put to trade, commerce, and amusements, and the people stood aghast with astonish ment. On the 19th no extraordinary event took place fur ther, but the general cousternation of the inhabitants. Severe orders were no doubt issued by the authorities, preventing the people from being out of their houses after certain hours. On the 20th, for the first time, something like a disturbance took place on the people returning from the theatre, and persons in different parts of the town were arrested. On the 21st some thing more serious took place. A restaurant, headed by seve ral persons, barricaded his doors, and tired from the windows on the troops, who were immediately assembled. One or two persons were found with arms in their hands, and were taken in arrest. All of these disturbances, trifling as they were, being concocted by some twenty or thirty persons, were thus entirely suppressed and put down, and that with the greatest facility. On the 22d, which was Sunday, the churches were ordered to be closed, and no service was allowed, and the shops were all closed. The troops were marchrd through the town at different periods of the day, and one or two accidents 'ook place. An unfortunate man, who was cleaning a lamp, was shot for beir g out against orders. With the exception of that trifling circumstance, nothing worthy of remark took place. The people were perfectly quiet, and the greatest astonishment and alarm prevailed over all Cracow. Shortly afterwards General Collin evacuated Cracow with the whole of his force, with all the police, the three residents, the whole of the Goverrment, the bishops, and every single employe in the place, down to the lowest Esquires that swept the public offices. Cracow was then left without a single authority of any kind ; without any force to protect it ; not even a sentinel at the prisons; without a single person responsible, in a terri tory con'aining a population of 130,000. For some hours it remained so, when one or two of the most respectable persons attempted to form a sort of provisional Government, which took means to keep things in a state of calm and quiet, until they perceived what had taken place on the exterior of Cracow. /'his was on the 22d, and on the 23d, the short lived provi sional Government was put down. A new system was then put up by five or six individuals, who were the suspected persons, and who had been allowed to enter from Galicia., and had passed the General on the way. They formed a revo lutionary Government, they issued all sorts of proclamations of equality and the division of land, and excited the lower classes of people to rise against their masters. In the territory of Cra cow no persons rose against their masters, and not a single attack was made, netwitlistaudinglthe misconduct of the Government. All the people behaved perfectly well, and though many left their doors open, not a single robbery took place. The Noble Lord then proceeded to relate the recent outbreak which eceurred at Cracow, and which has already appeared in The lots at length. On the eecond of the month, a Circassian regiment of the Russian army entered the city, and were re ceived with open arms by the eit;aens, who considered that they were a safety guard from the power of the Austrian Government. But after a short time the Russians and the Prussians withdrew, the arms of the residents were taken down, and Cracow has ever since remained garrisoned `n , the Austrian.. and held by that power as an Austrian town. Now, hat was what he termed a violation of the treaty of Vienna. The Noble Lord then read several translations from Polish documents encouraging the peasantry to rise in arms. The consequence of these placards was, that the peasantry did arise, and marauders ievaged the country ; and a person of the name of Silas, with a band of about 100 men, murdered hundreds after hundreds, took castle after castle, and pillaged them. Amongst the slaughtered were the names of the highest fawn lies, against whom not even a suspicion of guilt had been at 'ached'. He acquitted the Austrian Government of any know ledge of these circumstances, but he did contrast their conduct with that of Prussia, where an outbreak was expected, yet where, in consequence of the good measures which had been taken. no bloodshed occurred. He had seen letters from the survivors of these massacres; he had seen a letter from the daughter of one of these noble families, who was the sole relict of her murdered family. He had seen, also, a letter from others, who were also survivors, which would harrow up the feelings of their Lordsbips. Hatred was fomented between the peasantry and the nobles, and thus it was that the appeal to the peasantry was so fully answered. The nobles were compelled to carry into effect the most ungracious laws, and he made that a charge against the Austrian Government. With regard to the Poles., who ware called the Emigration, he believed that they were nearly all totally ignorant of these transactions, although there might be some of them who were cognisant of them. H o was of opinion, however, that there ought to be a distinction made between them. He would not trouble their Lordships any fur. ther, but would conclude by asking for the production of any correspondence between her Majesty's Governm en t and they other three Governments with respect to the circumstances to which he han referred ; and he trusted that the Noble Vis count now at the head of foreign affairs would exert himself to the utmost to prevent a recurrence of these shocking trans act ions. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE complimented the Noble Lord for the manner in which he referred to the circumstances which had taken place in Dalmatia and Cracow, and ho con curred with him that a right, and more than aright —a duty-- devolved upon the Government, who were parties to the inde pendent existence of Cracow, to see that its independence should, under all circumstances, be preserved. No person could lament more deeply than he did that anything should have occurred to afford a justification for ti.e imputation of terferenee with that independence. Be was bound to say that all these calamities had their oligin with a number of refugees who had taken up their residence in Cracow, and who, in the con spiracy in which they were engaged, had more exten sive objects in view than the affairs of Cracow. In fact, the conspiracy was such as to cau se the greatest alarm in the neighbouring states. These states, finding that overtures were made to extend t h e consp i racy all over the country, and as the authorities of Cracow had made application to them, interfered and occupied Cracow. As to the retirement of the Austrian soldiers from Cracow, he could not otter any explanation. The three powers had, however, in March last, occupied Cracow, and continued in possession of it over since. It did not matter, in his opinion, which of the three powers occupied Cracow, provided it was done by their joint consent.—( "Hear, hear," from the Duke of Welling on.) Conferences had taken place between the three powers, and he trusted the period would soon arrive when Cracow would be restored to that independence which she was entitled to enjoy under the treaty of Vienna. There could be no objection to give the Noble Lord the correspondence which he wished. He would have stopped there, had not the Noble Lord referred tee what had taken place in Galicia. He had to say, in reference to that country, that whatever might be his opinion of the scenes enacted there, they were not such as to justify any inter ference on the part of this Government with the Government which ruled that province. He was bound to say that the transaction whirls took place. there arose from the mismanage ment of the local authorities, and were not entirely chargeable to the Government of Vienna. He therefore trusted that the Government of Austria would take such steps as would prevent the recurrence of these horrid transactions. He had no reason to complain of the terms in which the Noble Lord treated the subject; and he had no objection to comply with his motion for the production of the correspondence between her Majesty's Government and the three courts of Vienna, Peteraburgh, and Berlin. The Duke of WELLINGTON, being a Member of her Majesty's Government when these occurrences took place, was bound to say that there was a violation of the treaty, which must be explained by these powers. With respect to the re public of Cracow, the treaty of Vienna was very peremptory— that that city shonld not be occupied with the troops of any of the three powers. When that treaty, however, was drawn up, the existing state of things was never contemplated ; that there should be committees sitting in the principal cities of Europe, plotting an insurrection against the actual existing Government, even in the very city of Cracow. The authorities of Cracow, and the agents of the three protecting powers, am :aired information that a conspiracy existed, not only in the republic of Cracow, but in the neighbouring countries of Posen, and Galicia, and even in the Duchy of Warsaw. He did not attempt to say, or know, what measures of precaution the Government did tabs, and he was sure that very few in the country could judge what measures it was in their power to take, or what measures theip oug ht to have taken. But this he did say, that the measur e adopted. was one which was contrary to the treaty, and Mould only be justified by the exigencies of the time, namely, tlee stets of intrigue going on in Cracow, the daily expectation of a rising there, and the state of disturbance in which all the :mighbouring provinces of Galicia and the Duehies of Pose n and Warsaw were. That was the cause of moving troops into Cracow which troops the Noble Lord said himself it was f ound neces sary to withdraw the day after they arrived there. Whether it was necessary on account of the apprehension of a revolution existing in Cracow, or tin account of the insurrection behind them in Galicia, he said not pretend to judge; but it was necessary to withdraw them, and that withdrawal occa sioned the subsequent events in Cracow. The Austrian Go vernment was not to be blamed for that. They were not to be blamed for sending an army—he believed that there were not more than 5,0(0, a bsigade, under General Collin, but not what is usually called an army—into Cracow. Then the Noble Lord thought proper to blame the Austrian Government for not taking precautions, and for not carrying on their operations in a particular manner in Galicia. He believed that he must say he did not think it material, and he did not know whether vi e Government lied enabled them to judge what those operations ought to have been, or what the fault of the Austrian Govern ment had been on this subject. Neither the subject on which the Noble Lord blamed the Austrian Government, nor that on which he had extolled the Prussian Government ( which he did not at all doubt deserved praise), had anything to do with these transactions. They had nothing to do with the merits of the arrangement made by Parliament, but were the defects of the Austrian Government. What they had to do was simply with the broach of the treaty; which, if any breach of any treaty could be justified, it was this very one, but it made them fully accountable for all that happened subsequently in Cracow. The whole country was —that was to say, the duchies of Warsaw, Posen, and the province of Galicia—the theatre of war, and it might have been convenient for military operations to have a large body or a small body of troops in Cracow. At one time, as the Noble Lord stated himself, there were only a small body of Russian troops ; these were joined immediately by a body of Austrians, and again by a body of Prussians. The troops of Prussia, the troops of Russia, and of Austria were in operation in the three provinces surrounding Cracow, while these three bodies of troops of the same nations were in Cracow. It was not convenient to leave all these troops in the town of Cracow. Some of them were withdrawn, and the Austrians were left alone ; and it was not to be supposed that because these Austrian troops were left alone in Cracow, that therefore the independence of the town was destroyed and made over to the Emperor of Austria. It was a military occupation for a moment, the occupation hap pened to be convenient to the operations of the three armies at the time, they having no political object in view in any manner affecting the independence of Cracow. He really did not know what the existing arrangements were, nor what the future one was to be. What he understood, when in bet Majesty's Cabinet was, that the Sovereign had under discus sion; measures for re-establishing the independent government of the town of Cracow, and for placing it in a state owof.inde pendence, and of course the old at titles of tb:utnrrabye placed is revived, " that no troops would on thatany :e the com m t u t ication and srranzeragi that town."
