without delay. He intended to propose the first reading on Mon , lay, and the second reading on Monday week, when any further discussion could be taken. To attempt giving a ques tion, as to the probable price of wheat, would be unwise on his part. He found that in 1835 she price of wheat was at as low a point as 355. a quarter, and the average price for the year was 395. This was under the high rate of protection. Subsequently the price—just before the passing of the previous corn Bill—that is, in 1841, was 40s. This showed that a high rate of protection did not keep up a high rate of price, as he had already shown that in the three years after the passing of the previous Bill, the price of wheat was 515., and in 1842 as high as 675. It was because protection had failed te regulate the price that be proposed the present measure. If under a system of high protection, the price of wheat had been 395.; it would not follow, if after the adoption of the present measure the price of wheat fell neat year to 395. or 405., that therefore the v.- eluction in price was occasioned by the absence of protection.— ( Hear, hear.) He begged to impress on the House, that agricultural prosperity did not depend on the price cf wheat, or the amount of protection. Nor d:d the farmers, judg ing from recent evtnts, think so. He knew of eleven farms in "Warwickshire, in which a valuation had been made in Octo ber last, and those farms had been taken within the last fort night, when the prepositions before the House were well ' known, at a higher rate than the valuation previously made.— .( Hear, hear.) He knew of five other farm; in Lincolnshire, which, since the intentions of Government were known, had been let out at a higher rent than they were let for before.— (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") These were important facts, and bore him out in saying that agricultural prosperity did not arise from protection, but was dependent on, and inter woven with, the prosperity of all the other great interests of the country.- Mr. DISRAELI said, he wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet whether he had had an opportunity of forming an opinion during the last six years, as to what might bo the probable price of corn after his present measure had come into operation ? What his Noble Friend (Lord George Bentinck) had said, with respect to the opinions of the Right Hon. Gentleman and his colleagues some years ago was merely collateral to that which he had introduced in his observations. He (Mr Disraeli) thought that during a discussion like this , and when it was proposed to read this Bill a second time in a week or Noble Friend had a perfect right to ask the Government w whether they had formed any opinion as the result of this most important t proposal ?—(Hear and cheers.) He thought that his Noble Friend and the Government were entitled to the information, if the Govern ment were possessed of any, on this point.—(Hear, hear.) But the question of his Noble Friend had no bearing at all upon the merits or demerits of the proposal ; the question was entirely confined to the price of corn subsequent to the passing of the present Government ' measure. He (Mr. Disraeli) had nothing to say after what the right Hon. Gentleman bad said upon the general question ; it appeared that the Right Hon. Baronet had proposed his present plan without seeking for any authentic information on the subject. And he was glad to hear that it would now be of no use to quote Hansard in the House.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) Sir R. PEEL said, in answer to the Noble Lord, he had already stated that it was utterly impossible for him to state what the price of corn would be if the present measure should pass into a law. The price would of course depend upon various circumstances and seasons.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. FINCH said that it had been Stated by the Right Honourable Baronet, that those who had advocated the repeal of the corn-laws should be responsible for au answer to the question. The Right Hon. Gentleman had said that he would not rob those gentlemen of the merit which they seemed to have gained in the eyes of the country. He (Mr. Finch) was sorry to say that a more unsatisfactory answer than that given by the Right lion. Gentleman in reply to the Noble Lord had never been given by any Hon. Hember in that House. —(Hear, hear)—because every one knew that the price of wheat varied with circumstances—(Laughter) —and with the seasons. But still they might have taken the average ; in some years it was as low as 395. per quarter, and in others it had risen to 665., all of which was of course owing to the seasons.—(Hear, hear.) A farmer of course took " all these circumstances and seasons" into consideration when he was about to take the average price of corn. But there were other circumstances which affected the price of wheat, all of which might, and should have been ascertained by the Government. He should have thought that the Government, before they proposed this measure, which would affect the interests of one half at least of the people of the United Kingdom, would have taken the trouble of fully informing themselves of the consequences of this measure. The Right Hon. Baronet had said that he was anxious to give three years' breathing time to the landlords, for the purpose of entering into arrangements with their tenants ; but how was ft pos sible for them to make any such arrangements, when the Right Hon. Baronet himself confessed his ignorance of the results of his measures ? And as the Right Hon. Gentleman was in ignorance upon this point, he begged leave to ask the Hon. Member for Stock port (Mr. Cobden) what his opinions were as to the average prire of corn after the passing of the Ministerial measure?—(hear: hear.) Several Hen. Members now cried out " Cobden, Cobden," but that Hon. Member not rising, Lord G. BENTINCK rose, and said that the Right Hon. Baronet had misunderstood his question. He (Lord G. Bentinck) conceived that he had a right to ask the First Minister of the Crown the ques tion which he had proposed, and he also thought the country was entitled to an answer before the Bill went to a second reading.— (Cries of " Oh, oh," from the Opposition.) Yes, he repeated, that the country was entitled to an answer as to what would be the average price of corn in the event of the Bill passing into a law. Mr. CURTEIS— I wish to ask—(Order, order)—if there is any question before the House? The SPEAKER—Yes, there is a question before the House, of which a regular notice has been given. Lord G. BENTINCK continued to say that the First Minister of the Crown was bound to give as answer to the question which he proposed. He would take, fur example, such a year as 1836, to Which his Right Hon. Friend had adverted, when the price of wheat was at 395., and he would now ask whether, in such a year, after the removal of protection, the price would be 55., 103., or 15s ? lie thought that the question was perfectly clear, and it was one, too, which his Right lion. Friend was not afraid to answer in the year 1842,—(Cries of " Hear, hear," and laughter from the protectionists.) Sir R. PEEL said that it was impossible for him to give any gua rantee for the prince of wheat in the event of the Bill being passed. No act of the Legislature could give any such guarantee ; nor had he attempted to give any such guarantee in the year 1842. He thought it was highly probable that after the withdrawal of protec tion there would be a succession of lower markets than any which we had had in former years. He was not at all prepared to admit that the average price of corn would be lower than 395., but it was very difficult, as he said before, to make any correct calculations on that subject.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. VILLIERS—The lion. Gentleman seems to think that the re sponsibility of this corn question attaches to us. An HON. alimarn—Yes, the Right Hon. Baronet has told us so. lefr. VILLIERS—And he wishes to know what will be the effect of the withdrme al of protection. Now, I will illustrate the question by a case that is somewhat analogous to the present. A person that had once given alms to a beggar—(Laughter)—who had persecuted him in soliciting them ; after he had given them, asked the beggar what he should have done if he had riot givenlim the alms ? " Why," he said, " I should have been obliged to work."—(Cheers, and laugh ter.) Now, the Hon. Gentleman wants to know what will become of him if protection is withdrawn.--(Hear, hear.) Why he will be obliged to look after his own property, and cultivate it much better, and perhaps he will be a richer and a happier man.—(Laughter, and cheers.) Mr. FINCH said, it would be found that the agriculturists had worked a great deal harder.—(clear, hear.) Colonel SIBTIIORP said, it was totally impossible for him to support her Majesty's Government or the lion. Gentlemen opposite. He had ventured two or three nights ago to express his astonishment with regard to the conduct of the present Government, and the lamentable state of the Treasury benches. The Right lion. Baronet, the First Lord of the Treasury, hod treated him in the way that he generally did—with silence. The Right Hon. Baronet time Secretary of State for the Home Department had treated him in a similar manner. Those Right Hon. Gentlemen might perhaps con sider that he was without precedent, and that he had put some im pertinent question to them. He was not without precedent.—(Hear, hear.) He would take the opportunity of quoting from two Parlia mentary recoreS, the accuracylof which could be vouched for, to show that a similar question had been proposed to her Majesty's Govern ment by Lord Darlington, when the Noble Lord the Member fer London was in office. The Hon. Member then proceeded, amidst loud and repeated cries of " Order, order," and " Question question," to read the extracts in question, and interspersed the reading of them with several observations, which created much laughter. At the conclusion of the extracts, he proceeded to say that he was anxious to know where was the Secretary for Ireland, the Secretary for the Colonies, and many other Hon. Gentlemen who were Members of the present Government, and who had not ...been able to obtain seats in the House, and who, for his own part, he should say had very little chance of ever being so fortunate. There wai nothing that an Englishman disliked so much as tergiversation. —(Much laughter.) John Bull, if he had known anything of him, was a straightforward sort of a man ' • he could not submit to duplicity or treachery—he could not, in fact, submit to that line of conduct wh'e't had been adopted by the present Government ; he hated every thing that was sought to be done by unfair and unconstitutional means. He once thought very different of the Right Hon. Baronet. H. never thought that he should put any questi n to the Right Hon. Baronet without receiving an honourable, straightforward answer—(" Hear, hear," from Sir R. Peel) The Gannnt Member caned considerable laughter by a contemptuous waive of the hand at the cheer of the Right Hon, Baronet, and concluded his speech by the ejaculation of " God deliver me from such company." Sir ROBERT PEEL stated in reply to the Gallant Member, that the vacancy in the office of the Chief Commissioners of Woods and Forests would no doubt be filled up by Monday next. If the _ _ Gallant Member goes further, and asks when the other members of the Cabinet will take their seats. I will tell him that I cannot give him a positive answer. Bat one thing I can assure the Gallant Member, that if he would vacate his seat, and accept the Chiltern Hundreds, his Noble Friend, the Secretary for Ireland , would have no objection to stand for the city of Lincoln.—(Laud cheering.) Colonel SIBTHORP said, that he put no question to the Right Hon. Baronet. But with reference to his accepting the office of the stewardship of the Children Hundreds, he believed that the office was in the power of the Government to bestow, upon application made to the Government ?—(Addressing Sir Robert Peel) —" Am I not right ?" it ROBERT PEEL—Yes. Colonel SIBTHORP—Then I'll never ask them.—(Great laughter.) I will never nuke application to the Govern ment for any favour. I will not submit to the disgrace of making an application to a treacherous Government which I hate. I will tell him this, however, that I wish to dissolve the Parliament. I don't care if the Right Hon. Baronet himself comes with all the plausible expectation he holds out to the citizens of Lincoln.—(Re newed laughter,) I will tell the Right Ron. Baronet that I never bribed any one. I stand upon mine own honour and integrity. I have no treasury seats to offer. I have nothing to offir them but my conduct, principle, and consistency.—(Cheers from the protec tionists.) I wish he would dissolve the Parliament. Let him then send down whom he will, and I will stand the trial again for the city of Lincoln, which I have had the honour to represent for the last twenty years, and my ance,tors before me for a century and a half.—(Renewed cheering.) I care net, either, for all the brrery of the League.—(Loud laughter.) I defy them.—(Renewed laughter.) I will stand upon my awn character; and now, sir, (alluding to Sir R. Peel) send down yoar Secretary for Ireland, I will put you to the trial, and you will find, when the day arrives, that you will re gret the day when you offered to contest with nee the city of Lincoln. The electors of Lincoln, sir, are proof against your bribery and plau sible promises; they are guided by sound and conselentious prin ciples. Mr. B. DISRAELI said that he thought the question of the Gallant Member was rather out of place. The House had before it a resolution submitted by the Ministers of the Crown. It is our duty to inquire if they are responsible to both Houses of Parliament for the introduction of these measures. The gallant officer had read to the house come account of what had occurred in the year 1835, which must be admitted as fact. The Noble Lords cannot deny their own acts, ho has quoted them from authority, to which he was justly entitled to refer. He would recall to the recollection of Ministers another instance, which he thought would show them more directly the bearings of the case in question. In the year 1835, when an Hon. - Member, the Master General of the Board of Ordnance at o te u nded the cabinet Council, although he was not a Member of the htLese, an Hon if he recollected right, put a question to anol. Baronet at the head the Ministry. Sir Robert Peel then . rose,' said that he had attended the Cabinet Councils. Now in his (Mr. Diarael'a) - this was a great constitutional prin ciple, and he could andno understand how Parliament could lose sight of such a question, he did not see how the Secretary of th e Coloniet could ta i ll , e a seat in the Cabinet unless he had a seat in this House. Sir R. FEEL stated that Mr Gladstone had atteudeti a Cabinet House of Comm Council upon sevi es eral occasions: although he had not a seat i n the : Mr. B. DISRAELI—Then the Bight Hon. Baronet proves by his admission, that though it was w rong to attend the Council in the year 1835 without being a Member or Parliament, but in the year 1846 it was not wrong. Sir 11: PEEL aid not recollect stating that the reason of his Hon, Friend, Sir George Murray, not taking his seat Was because he was not Ulm Member of Ptryan.lFn. Lord POLLINGTON said, that as the Right Hon. Baroneotchthl challenged the Hon. Member for Lincoln to take Chiltern Hundreds, in order to allow Lord Lineolnttoheaetrridcefor ght that city as a freeholder of that county, ha would ask th Baronet whether he thought the Members of his Cabinet had not en_ dived sufficient defeats at Nottingham. Colonel SIB THORP said he would stand the best bottle of wine in his own cellar If the Hon. Baronet, or any Member of his Cabinet, would meet him at the Market-plaice of Lincoln and successfully contest the representation of Lincoln with him.—(Loud laughter.) Mr. GREET then rend the resolution of the Committee upon the Corn Importation Act, after wii , oh, Sir It..P "EL rose, and said that he would now propose to take other articles of pi•ov;sioni: included in the measures of her Majesty's Mlnist 2rs, name, buckirheat, Indian corn, and rice. Mr. M tLES should certainly oppose the free importation of buck wheat. - lb proposed to more an amendment on that question. Sir It. 'PEEL sated, In reply to Mr. Miles, that he had taken the art:ola of but:kwlamt from the other minellaneous articles in the tariff, anal placed it with wheat. He had entered into an engage ment with the House, with reference to articles included in the new eofn-law measnr.:s. lie would not, In consequence of that engage ment, exercise, on the part of the Treasury, the power usually_ex- etclsed in remitting duties, and the duty would not, therefore, be rexaled o:t those tirtkies nntil the bill had passed through the sev.J.ll stages of that House, and the House of Lords, and had received the ro;a1 assent. With reference to Indian corn, it would be impossible, by a Treasury Order, to reduce the duty until the question should be dually disposed of. He hoped the Hon. :Member would not press his opposition. Mr. O'CONNELL would say one word for Ireland. Much sym pathy had been expressed towards Ireland, the sincerity of which he would not for a moment doubt. He would not ask. Hon. Members opposite who were in favour of protection to do anything inconsistent with their principles, but he really thought that the present measure should be carried as soon as possible.—((sheers.) Mr. MILES did not wish to do anything which might be Injurious to the interests of Ireland. He had before stated, that if the Right lion. Baroaot would introduce a short Bill to remedy the existing dir trees of .Ireland, he would give it his most cordial support. But at the same time it was to be remembered that when they pla ce d hidden corn at tLe al.po3ul of the country at large,lt, must materially THEATRF. ROYAL, ADELPILT.

He understood the Hon. Baronet to say that they would take a vote that night on the shilling duty, and if so, he for one was prepared to vote against it. If the Government on their own responsibility hurried forward the measure without having any discussion on it, it could not be supposed that the ques tion would be settled. Notwithstanding that the famine was made a sort of stalking-horse for the Government, he begged leave to say that It would not have the desired effect, and that the agricultural Members had not the slightest confidence in those who would make use of such argument to carry their propositions. He could not con ceive on what principles he brought forward his measure, for it was clear that maize would come into competition with wheat, barley, and oats ; therefore, he thought a discussion should come on at some period when his Hon. Friends would be able to state their opinions. When they had talked of wheat, let it be remembered that America produced 700 million quarters of maize—(Cries of " Oh, oh") —he meant 700 million bushels.—(Cheers and laughter.) The product was so enormous—so much so that last year we consumed, on an average one quarter, while the consumption in the United States was estimated at three and a half bushels, which he thought showed pretty clearly that Indian corn did come into competition with the corn of this country. All he would say was, that if it were determined to take those resolutions, he should vote against them. Sir ROBERT PEEL begged to call the attentioa of his Hon. Friend to the fact that the Government would proceed on Monday with the first reading, when an opportunity would be given for discussion; at the same time he hoped it would be remembered that great distress was prevailing in Ireland, which they had taken the responsibility on themselves of meeting, by ordering in a very large quantity of Indian corn, and they had reason to believe that many were now depending on it as their chief means of support, and were anxiously looking out for it. There were considerable stuns expenAel in tile purchase of Indian corn, and he admitted, if it was properly prepared, it would make ex cellentl food ; at the same time, considering the great advantage it would be to Ireland to have it, he hoped the Hon. Member would not oppose its introduction, as the Hon. Member (Mr. Miles) could make his objection on Monday next. Mr. BRIGHT thought that the Hon. Gentleman would be ad vancing the interests of the agriculturists by acceding to the propcsi nstini wellni tebr objection g o edna r ut i sic c ot t pn i i g t n t st i n r ao a nf l i dtdahityant Indian . ch a o s urNl nn i n o, a nl a va n v d e r e y e r d t o a t l y f u proposi tion of the Right Hon. Baronet. He had every reason to believe that d it s e t a o u t e l d w n i t o h t rtpbl the takenserpt e i oc opinion t tnofa as t h o a e a f beings nhie r w i n o g ul t d h e ge po t s s i o ti m o n e of Ireland, he did ask the Hon. Gentleman to withdraw the opposition which he was giving to the B. Mr. MILES objected to the course whlch they were pursuing, tut he was perfectly unprepared to enter into the discussion at all, but he thought it his duty to state what had occurred in the country, and an Hon. Gentleman, in the discharge of his duty, should not be taanted,especially as he gave credit to the lion. Gentleman opposite— (Sir. Bright)--for sincerity when he brought forward his measure. At any rate his motives were supposed to be good, as he was not stating his own individual views, and he considered he was not to be held up to a public reprobation. He thought the Government had acted very properly in importing a large quantity of Indian cern under the present circumstances for the consumption of the Irish people ; but he thought that before the famine occurred, the Go vernment should itself take the Indian corn out of bond, free of all duty; but when it came to be in the market in vast quantities, and publicly sold, it was a very different question. In taking it out free of all duty for the supply of Ireland, there would be no objec tion to, and he considered that whatever opposition he might offer, his motives and conduct were not to be impugned by the Hon. Gen tleman opposite (Mr. Bright). Lord G. BENTINCK perfectly concurred with the observations of his Noble Friend, but he could not conceive the difference whether the Government paid the duty or let it in free. He did not see any necessity for the discussion which had taken place respecting the article called Indian corn. He was strongly of opinion that the proper way to benefit Ireland was to purchase Irish oats in the locality in which the potato disease prevailed. He had every reason to think that purchasing Irish oats on the spot would be very little more expensive than feeding them on Indian meal. If the Govern ment had purchased their oats, it would have been far better. He was not an Irishman, but he believed that every Irishman bad' a few oats, which they generally sold to procure the other necessaries of life. He was, therefore, strongly of opinion that the Government had committed a gr( a: mistake in the purchasing of maize instead of purchasing Irish oats, which the people would much prefer. He believed the Irish would prefer to be fed on oatmeal than upon that for which their tastes were not adapted. By sending money for Indian maize they would injure the price of oats in Ireland. He could not see why they should introduce maize when there was the option of Lrisla oats. Sir /10BERT PEEL said he proposed that that part of the mea sure which applied to wheat, barley, and oats, should have its first reading on Monday, and that it should be reported on Monday week, at which time the discussion could be taken on it. He proposed that that part which applied to maize and buck wheat shoul•I go through that evening, and that it should have its first reading on Monday next, when the discussion could be taken upon that. He had an objection to the view taken by the Noble Lord who had spoken last with regard to the purchase of oats. He begged to in form the House that the manufacturing portion of the inhabitants of the west of Scotland and the west of England principally depended for support upon oatmeal, and that was principally purchased of Ire land. If the oats were to be substituted for maize in Ireland, it would be depriving the whole population of the west of England and the west of Scotland of the food which they had been used to, and raise the price of oats in Ireland. This was one of the first points which caused her Majesty's Ministers to consider the substitution of maize, which would prevent oats being greatly raised in price. Mr. S. CRAWFORD felt that the Government had exercised a very wise discretion in this matter. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that no one would accuse the Hon. • _ _ !-- - -...------ --- —... Member for SomersetshireTnoTa n y other Hon. Member in that House, of inbumanity.—(Hear, hear.) He thought the question would be discussed better on Monday, and that sufficient notice had been given of the introduction of maize. He also considered that the Goverement had used a sound discretion in proposing to b:lng in maize, for that would prevent the raising of the price of Irish oats. The discussion on the other part of the Bill should be taken at the time of bringing up the report.—(Hear, hear.) The Earl of MARCH said that he hoped, after what had fallen from the Noble Lord the Member for Lonihn, there would be no opposition to the discussion being entered upon on Monday next. Mr. FINCH did not consider it fair that the maize or Indian corn should be brought into the market without limit. Mr. JAMES said that the Indian corn was most excellent for feeding cattle, and he was sure it could not be injurious to the farmers of England, inasmuch as it could not be grown in th's country to any considerable extent. Mr. DISRAELI wished to put a question to the Right Hon. Baronet. He wished to learn what quantity of maize had been pur chased by the Government for consumption in Ireland? Sir It. PEEL—The Government had certainly purchased maize for consumption in Ireland, but he was unable to inform the Hon. Mem ber as to the quantity introduced into that country. Be could, how ever, inform the Hon. Member that the sum expended in that purchase did not exceed 100,( 00/. Colonel SIBTBORP could not understand why the Hon. Member for Durham should charge any Hon. Member on his side of the House with inhumanity; he would have had better grounds for such a charge had he spent that 50,0001. of the Anti-Corn-law League in re lieving the distress of the people of Iceland. This he had not done, nor had the Anti-Cern-law League given one pound towards that object. He (Colonel Sibthorp) would have given them some pecu niary assistance. He would have give,' his money witi.out any hope or expectation of seeing it returned, in order that some assistance might be rendered to a suffering people. Mr. MILES said that he was 'willing to propose a resolution giving to Government the power, after the expiration of three months, of taking corn and maize out of bond, and of importing it free of duty. Mr. MITCHELL said that he did not see why the business of the evening should not be proceeded with before any other question was raised. Mr. COLLETT said that he understood that there was a duty on potatoes. Ile did not see by the new tariff that the duty was re moved, and he wished to kn Av why it had not ? He was very de sirous of seeing potatoes adm tied duty free. Mr. BRIGHT said that he wished to ask a question of the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government. Last session the Right Hon. Baronet said that it was dealrable that several articles which he mentioned should be admitted duty free, and anongst these articles was cotton. The duty on Indian cern was Is. per quarter, or about 5 per cent. on the cost in America. If the principle of re ducing the duties was to be carried out, why was not the duty on Indian corn reduced to Id. a quarter? And if no duty was required, why was it not admitted free ? He would ask the Right Hon. Baronet whether such a measure had not been under the consideration of Government ? Sir IL PEEL said that the duty on many articles had been re moved, and greatly reduced on others ; and he, therefore, did hope that-no further reduction would be locked for. Several Hon. Members asked questions of Sir H. Peel, but neither the questions nor the replies of the Right Hon. Baronet reached the reporters' gallery. The resolution, after a short discussion, WAS agreed to. The House resumed, and the Chairman obtained leave to sit again on Monday. ➢lr. S. HERBERT obtained leave to bring in two Bills, one a Bill for regulating the payment of the cut-pensioners of Greenwich and Chelsea Hospitals ; and the other a Bill to amend the Act for render ing effective the services of the Chelsea out-pensioners, and extend ing it to the out-pensioners of Greenwich Hospital. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to Twelve o'clock. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Baronet or the Secretary for Ireland to turn him out of Lincoln. Sir R. PEET ' in answer to an observation from Mr. DISRAELI said that Mr. Cr AD:STONE had attended every Cabinet &mil since he had been Secretary of State for the Colonies, although le was not a Member of Parliament. The resolutions with respect to Indian corn, buck wheat, and rice, were then proposed. _ _ Mr. MILES opposed the resolution. Sir R. PEEL believed, if corn was admitted duty free, many benevolent individuals would spend large sums in the purchase of it to assist in allaying the wants of the people of Ireland. He believed it would answer all purposes if members would allow the resolution to pass through the Committee that night, and discus the questicn on the re port on Monday, as he did not purpose 0 include this reso lution in the Corn Bill. The proposition of the Right Hon. Baronet was, after a short discussion, agreed to, the resolution adopted, and the report upon it ordered to be taken into consideration on Monday. The other orders of the day having been disposed of, the house adjourned to Monday. The intelligence brought by tae Overland Mail, which left Bombay on the 31 ult., is altogether satisfactory, and fur nishes many interesting details of the splendid victories of the 18th, 21st, and 22d of December, the movements of the Seikh armies, the state of Lahore, the present position and strength of the respective forces on each bank of the Suth-j, and the preparations made by Sir HENRY HARDINGE to take vengeance on a lawless army and a worthless Govern ment, who, without the slightest provocation, had compelled him unexpectedly to engage in a fierce and determined war• It is evident from every new circumstance brought to light, that the Indian Government had no intention of in vading the Punjaub. A very small army up to the month of November was stationed at a moderate distance from the frontier; there were no heavy guns, no battery, and the amount of ammunition was so small that it was exhausted befire the Anglo-Indian army w►s pertain of the victory. This is to be attributed partly to the, peace ful disposition of the Indian authorities and partly to a con 'viction on the part of the Governer-General, that for this spring and summer at least, attempts by negotiations alone would be made to place the Punjaub in some order, or at all events secure the British territory against invasion. Both the Government and the Governor-General have been de ceived on these points, and nothing now is left for them but to muster all the British forces within a reasonable space, and carry on the war with energy, and a full determination to put down a body of troops alike dangerous to their own country and all their neighbours. We can have no security in that quarter by any other means; the Indian Government cannot afford to keep a large army on the frontier, to the danger of the rest of Hindostan where any dissatisfaction prevails, and at an enormous expense, merely because the Government at Lahore is too weak and disorganised to furnish any` pledge of peace, or make due compensation fur the severe losses and outlay already caused by their imbecility and want of faith. With these views the Governor-General is, according to the present accounts, making every preparation for a decisive contest, he is con centrating forces from all quarters, collecting ammunition and large guns in great quantities, making arrangements for passing the river, meeting the enemy in another pitched battle, and marching to the capture of Lahore. This great undertaking has come upon him by sur prise, and his troops have suffered severely from this very circumstance—placing too much confidence in the word of barbarians, and obeying to the letter the instructions received from the India Board; but he now sees that there is no middle course, and that the time is come for either occupying the whole of the Punjaub, or establishing such a Government and such an army as will be pledges of order for the future. The force under his command at the present moment cannot amount to fewer than fifty thousand men, well provided with artillery, some of the guns of large calibre, and fully equal to those of the Seikhs, independent of an army under the gallant Sir C. NAPIER, amounting, according to different accounts. from 10,000 to 15,000 men—still flushed with the victories of Meanee and Hyderabad, and longing to meet those Seikh troops whose fame for bravery anti military skill is well knov - n in Sinde. When the armies again meet the British will be placed in a very different situation from that in which they lately fought, under so many disadvantages. Then every circumstance but the skill and bravery of the officers and men was against them. They did not muster one quarter of the troops opposed to them, they had no guns of any use against heavy artillery they had not even' atnunition ; the musket and bayonet were their only weapons, and with these they triumphed. If they took ninety guns by such means, what can oppose them when properly girt for the battle? If one feature in the fate 'settles is more striking than another, it is the total inability of the Seikhs to fight in ere open plain, and without guns in position: Their infantry and cavalry absolutely did nothing; they rarely or never came in contact with the British, anti if theiy did they fled like sheep. They have no confidence h. manoeuvres, or generalship, or a fair open fight. Like th. Spaniards, they fight desperately behind walls, but make a sad exhibition when they meet cavalry or infantry hand to hand. These facts our troops know, and they will take advan tage of them. Besides, the chiefs of Lahore are divided among: themselves, and it is not at all improbable that Sir HENRY lIARDINGE will find allies on the other banks of the Sutlej. But, whether or not, the fate of the campaign is certain, ant in a few days after his passage of the river he will be below the walls of Lahore. The next accounts, therefore, will be looked to with great interest. For other points, to which we have not adverted, we refer thr reader to the minute and lengthened details given in the papers and letters just received from India, and also to On communications furnished from Lahore. The public will be glad to find that Sir HENRY NAIWINGE has anticipated tbe favourable opinions expressed in both Houses of Parliamen respecting the conduct of the 62d Regiment, and that b; has borne incontesti'ale evidence to thenoble manner in whicl. they endured as long as human strength could endure, the awful fire showered upon them in such torrents from the enemy's entrenchments. The report of a repulse sustained by some Sepoys, near Loodianab, does not appear entitled to the slightest credit. We have received Madrid journals of the 26th ult. Two Bills of considerable importance were, brought before the Chamber of Deputies on that day. Th e f i rst was a Bill tc indemnify the lay proprietors of tithes, which underwent some discussion, and the other a Bill presented by the Fi nance Minister for the endowment of publi c wors hi p and the clergy. By the last the Minister proposes to set apart ful the Church the revenues of the patrimonial property now ad ministered by the clergy, the amount of the obligations con tracted by the purchasers of national domains, and provide for the arrears due to the clergy by means of an issue of Three per Cent. Stock. The Three per Cents. closed at 30% for cash, and 3i% at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 22 at GO days. The Paris papers are much occupied with the affairs of Poland, which excite great uneasiness for the fate of th, unfortunate Poles, who may, with almost certain prospects of destruction, rush into a contest with the three great Power, -Austria, Russia, and Prussia. Against such fearful odd, there is nut the slightest chance of success, for the end will only be military executions, banishm ents, and confiscations. If a we are to successfulcr editsoiinne some f n t i l e re German journals the P o l e s had been instanc es , and the regular troops, as at Cracow, had been oblig e d to retreat. It is stated in a letter from Vienna, dated the 25 t h of February', that General DE Coure had been compelled to evacuate the town of Cracow, as the number of troops under his com mand was too small to resist the rebels, and as he was afraid that they would gain the passage of the Vistula, near Podgorize, and thus extend the revolution to the interior. He was able to reach and a cure this post without an attack from the rebels. A Fraulefort journal states, from Vienna, that several officers have been arrested in Gallicia, on suspicion of their beingconcerned wi.ll the re voltttionary movement. The Journal d.: Debuts gives rather a long summary of events supposed to have taken place, and from that we should infer that the proposed insurrection has branches in the three uif ferent divisions of Poland belonging to the partitioning powers. But even the accounts in this official journal are either contradictory or little to be depended upon. That journal says :-"It appears that the conspiracy had very wide ramifications, proving its gravity, and that it has been kept up notwithstanding the arrests made at Posen fou. months previously, and in face of the prosecutions com menced by the Government. The greater part of the Polls' nobles, not only the younger branches, but fathers of fami lies, are involved in these elots. Did we not know that we are bound to receive with the greatest reserve the report, disseminated by the German press, we should have aufli,ien. motives for doing so on seeing it announce, as from goon authority, that Prince CZARTuEYsKI and Count ZAmoI6EI had arrived with the intent of taking part in the insurrec tion, while all the world knows that neither of those two noble Pules had left Paris. Profit all these particulars, which are still but very imperfect, it would be difficult to draw an) conclusion as to the precise plans and objects of the con spirators." It also remarks, with too much truth, that the .flews from Poland is calculated to produce none but painful emotions, and that it can only view with grief a naovement, the issue of which is but too certain. Some additional intelligence from Algiers had been received at Paris, bur it adds nothing to the previous communications. The Moniteur contains a royal ordonnance, reducing the duty on salt, tixdd at 30 centimes the kilogramme, by the Act of December, 1514, to five centitnes, when the article has been mixed with other matters, SO as to be incapable of being turned to accouet except at food for cattle. This is no relief to the poor people, who are Kill to pay an enormous tax_ on this n _cessary of life.

The passenger train lett Littleborough at the usual time, although a passenger who got in there called the attention of the station-master to the danger of starting a train so soon after a luggage train. The passenger train proceeded, and whilst' passing through a long tunnel called Summit Tunnel, a tremendous crash was felt by the passengers, and as soon as the screams and shouting consequent on the accident had sub sided, it was ascertained that the break and two carriages (in one of which was the guard of the train) had by some means got detached from the luggage train, and had been left behind in the tunnel. The luggage train had gone on, and the guard, apprehending danger, had left the carriage in which he had been riding, and was standing on the up of rails when epot the mail Fortunately u train to f theonyoanche p sterureogoris ~ r eupa e nd killed on the e materially InJhred , 1 • ) fir *1? , „. . s 4-0-4 4.14 ' • :7141k.,.,;-,-. fitorminft ai-iiit, LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1846. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at Five o'clock. After the presentation of petitions, The Earl ST. GERMANS moved the Committee on the Irish Pacification Bill, and explained the nature of various amendments which it was intended to pro pose in Committee ; among these was one limit ing the duration of the Act to five years. With regard to the amendment proposed by Earl GREY, he could not consent to it. The punishment of all others most dreaded by the Irish was transportation, and one example of summary transportation would produce more effect than many examples of imprisonment; and it should be remem bered that they wera now about to apply an extrarordinary remedy to on extraordinary state of things. They could not detect criminals, and, therefore, they were bound to prevent crime by preventing persons being abroad after nightfall. The Noble Earl then quoted the 'pinion of Mr. O'CONNELL in 1834, as to the necessity of some law to prevent persons being out after nightfall. The object was, to get at those concerning whose guilt there could be no moral doubt, but against whom persons refused to give evidence. Besides, the power of awarding punishment was left to the Judge, and it was impossible to doubt that he would exer cise a proper discretion. He believed that nothing short of the proposed measure would meet the exigencies of the case, and he knew that several persons connected with Ireland considered that it did not go far enough. Lord BROUGHAM considered it was degrading to think that any of their fellow-creatures should be living under such a delusion as to imagine that they had a right to massacre their landlords for the exercise of the undoubted and proper rights of property. With regard to the amendment of Lord DENMAN, he would postpone it, and make it part of a more general measure. lie considered the amendment, enabling magistrates to discharge persons found abroad at night, if they were satisfied as to the truth of their account as to the reason for their being abroad, was a great improvement. With regard to transportation, he considered it would be advisable in all cases at once to transfer the criminal from the dock to the ship, so that the commencement of the punish ment might take place immediately, due time being given, while they were at the hulks, to inquire into the case. He also thought that when a murderer was convicted, the exe cution of the malefactor should take place on the spot where his crime was committed. The House then resolved itself into Committee on the Bill. The Bill was passed through Committee, and the various amendments were made in it. • Earl GREY'S amendment, to do away with the punishment of transportation in cases where persons in proclaimed coun ties were folind out of their houses after nightfall, was rejected by a majority of 31. The numbers being for the amendment 7, against it 38. One of the amendments agreed to was for limiting the Bill to three years. The other Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. Several railway Bills were read a second time, and ordered to be committed. Colonel THOMAS WOOD presented a petition from Chelsea, for the total and immediate repeal of the corn-laws. Several petitions of a similar nsture were also presented, -as were petitions against the embodiment of the militia. A new writ was ordered for Stafford, in the room of the Hon. SWYNPEN THOMAS CARNEGIE, who, since his election, had accepted the office of one of the Lords of the Treasury. In answer to a question from Mr. WILSON PATTEN, rela tive to the amalgamation of railways, Sir G. CLERK said it was considered expedient by the Government, that all propo.itions for amalgamation should be referred to the same Committee. The Right Hon. Baronet, in answer to a question from Sir G. GREY, said the evidence taken before the Gauge Com mission would be laid on the table during the course of next week. The Railway Deposit B:11 was brought in, read a first, and ordered to be read a second time. The second reading of the Turnpike Roads (Scotland) Bill was adjourned for a fortnight, in consequence of the absence of the Lord Advocate. On motion made for that purpose, it was agreed that the House at its rising should adjourn to Monday. In answer to a question from Lord INGESTEE, Sir R. PEEL stated that at the conclusion of the discussion this evening, he would state when it was his intention to pro ceed with the Committee of Supply. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of Supply on the Corn and Customs Importation measures, and Mr. W. O. STANLEY, pursuant to Lotice moved as an amendment to Sir R. PEEL'S plan, that i n lieu of the duty now payable on the importation of corn, grain, meal, or flour, the product of foreign countries, there shall be paid a fixed duty of ss. per quarter upon wheat, 23. 6d. on barley, 2s. on oats, and meal and flour in proportion. Captain WOOD deprecated the delay mhich had taken p'ace with respect to this subject, believing it to be in jurious to the tenant-farmer, and also to the poor, as it prevented some decision being come to with respect to the law of settlement. He would vote against the amend ment, and against any proposition that was calculated to protract the carrying of the measures proposed by the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government. Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN would nit vote upon the propo sition of the Hon. Member for Anglesea. After some observations from Lord George Bentinck, Lord John Russell, Mr. Collett, Sir John Tyrrell, Lord Worsley, Mr. Curteis, and Mr. Hudson, the amendment was withdrawn. Mr. M. MtisEs then rose to move the omission of all words in the resolution respecting the importation of corn, referring to the cessation or alteration of duties to be paid in the year 1849. believed it was an idle thing to throw away altogether the idea of raising a fiscal revenue from corn. He considered that if the adoption of a low fixed duty was determined upon, all the difficulties surrounding this question might be got over. Mr..AGLIONEY pressed on the Government the necessity of enfranchising copyholds in the north of England. He was sure if they did so, they would ensure the support of hundreds Wes would otherwise oppose them. Sir R. PEEL trusted the Hon. Member for Pontefract would withdraw his amendment. As to the proposition of the Hon. Member for Cockermouth, he thought it could not be entertained on the present discussion. He thought it was well worthy of .consideration irrespective of the corn laws. Ha thought the expense of transferring landed pro perty was a great evil. Mr. WiLmut MILES dissented to the whole of the amend ments proposed. He intended, upon the discussion of the Bill, to maintain the corn-law of 1812. At present, he should offer no further opposition to the measure, but ho wished it to be understood, that in doing so, he did not abate one iota of his opposition to the resolutions, which he looked upon merely as the foundation of the Bill, to which he should give his most determined opposition before it left that House. After some discussion, in which Sir Arthur Brooke, Mr. Acland, Mr. Stafford O'Brien, Mr. Charles Buller, Mr. P. Borthwick, Mr. 'Ward, Mr. Lawson, Mr. Hume, Mr. Fitz gerald, and Lord George Bentinek joined, Mr. M. Mu.Nes withdrew his amendment. Mr. P. HOWARD withdrew the motion of which he had period lBsj. of protection upon gi T .e h n e corn n r e o : . o ie l until u e t i resolutions for n t h s e wilt vlhsi the extension h d e a x i e t, s e o p n f e s e F i o t e n t b o o r February, r 2 l ; were, as originally proposed by the Government, agreed to 'e' importation of corn after a short dis,:ussion, in the course of which Sir R. PEEL stated that it was his intention to bring in the Bill founded on the resolutions on Monday; that on that day it should be read a first time, and he should suggest that the second reading should take place en MondaT week. Colonel Surrnonr renewed his attack against the Go vernment for not having several of its members in that 'louse, especially the Secretary for the Colonies, and the Secretary for Ireland, and begged to know when the Right Hon.Paronet expected to see them on the Treasury benches? Sir R. PEEL could not say, but, he would undertake, if the Gallant Colonel would accept the Chiltern Hundreds, that the Noble Lord, the Secretary for Ireland, should op pose him for Lincoln. Colonel SIBTHORP said he should consider himself dis- Governinent for th e Chil tern graced by applying to the AMERICA. By the arrival of an American vessel at Havre, New York papers of the 16th ult. have been received. The Oregon resolutions, adopted by the House of Representatives, were under discussion in the Senate on the 12th, but no vote was taken, and at the close of the sitting, the Ho - e.se adjourned till February 16. It was generally believed, however, that the Senate would adopt the resolutions. MEETING OF THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. TM WAR IN INDIA. A special general meeting of the Court of Directors of the East India Company was held yesterday, at 12 o'clock, at the East India House, for the purpose of laying before the Proprietors documents re lative to the brilliant victories lately achieved on the left hank of the Sutlej, and to adopt resolutions of thanks in cowectueuce, The chair was taken by Sir Henry Willock. The SECRETARY read the minutes of the las ,lay's proeecdtngs, and the opinion of the starling counsel of the Company in reference to the question of th pablieation of a certain advertisement, which was to the effect that the said advertisement could not he legally published. He next read a series of militates of correspoadence neon the subject of the conduct of a late officer pf the CoMpftny ip Tudtri. When he had concluded, The CHAIRMAN rose and said hp lig to aegualat the ProPrkt9ril that they had been umnioned Were the Court this liey for the purpose of having laid before them a series of resolutions intended to be proposed fee their adoption, and which they would now hear read. The Szellzreny then read the resolutions, the first of which was a vote of thanks to Sir Henry Hardinge, for the epithet, energy, and zeal he had displayed in the discharge of his slaty it; the late setion against the &eli4llB. The second w I a eimiler vote tp Sir Hugh Gough; and those fhPeWcil Wile IP the like 041 to Generals Sir G. H.

The enemy to be encountered, he (the Chairintill) need not say was no common enemy. It was the most powerful army in all Asia, consisting of 05,000 men and 180 pieces of cannon. Fearful, therefore, were the obstacles, the difficulties and the dangers which the British forces had to encounter. They had to light against overwhelming numbers, great dieetellne, im mense artillery, and a courageoes foe. BM: nothing daunted by these disadvantages, they boldly advanced, and fotight and conquered —(Cheers)—and took the enemy's guns and encampments.— (Chi era.) That was their stronghold, but they were com pelled to abandon it and retire to their native territory.--(Hear, hear.) Under such circumstances, no doubt, their first duty was to return thanks to God for having thus crownel their arms with victory— (Hear, hear)—and the next to express their grateful thanks to the British army for their valorous conduct, en expression in which ha had no doubt he would have the unanimous concurrence of this assembly —(Cheers)—and he would conclude by saying he felt assured he ex pressed the universal concurrence of the Proprietors, when he de stared he had the fullest confidence that their army would eventually bring this contest to a successful termination.—(Cheers.) Mr. Hoots said he rose with feelings of the greatest pleasure and the greatest pride to second the proposition of their Chairman, and to express his most cordial concurrence in all that had fallen from him in laying it before the meeting.—(Hear, hear.) The grateful thanks of the British Parliament had already been voted to this brave army, and he old not know how a greater honour could be paid a brave soldiery than that their valour should be marked by the eTatitude and thanks of the Legislature of tit.s great country.— (Cheers.) It was a most r Lasing duty to the Legislature to do this ; but it was no less gratifying to this Court, and they had em braced the very earliest opportunity of doing so. (Hear, hear.) Their Chairman had very properly abstained from all mention of details, and he (Mr. Hogg) would follow his example ; but there was one point to which he would wish to direct attention. In the dispatches 1 lid upon the table Sir Henrz Hardinge and Sir Hugh Gough had told the bloody tale of till battle In plain, simple, but energetic language, but which impressed all who read them with the conviction that this had indeed been a effirious exploit.—(Cheers.) The Chairman had also spoken of the character of the enemy. No doubt that enemy was in -umbers most formidable, in physical strength most powerful, in courage pre-eminent, and possessed of resolution and determination worthy of a better cause.—( • ear, hear.) 'They became efficient slid disciplined, too, by most experienced Fr. itch generals; on the other hand, the British force. did not amount to one•thrd or :heir number. But this did not deter them ; they nerved themselves 'or the struggle, and the Pulijatth was taker. On Dscembsr 21st the enemy was again defeated, and forced from Fereztpore, alter which ra British tore, s were a semi-led wit the frontier, and every fighting -teen was ready to do his duty - (Cheers)—and the result was, that J:ey took Moodkee, atter a splendid battle.—(Cheers.) in the tffair of the 21st the British forces had difficulties of no or. finery character to encounter. Thy had to assail au en trenched camp, guarded by (isle hundred and eighty pieces of cation ; ant, net sithstanding ail the di, advanta..es against the British arms, and though they we-e mowed down, as ti,ey advanced, by shotvers of shot and shell from the euemv, still they were firm, and the testa: was they carried the en:renchment.—(Cheers) Und r these dr tumstances, then, this Co.npaey and this country wt re called upon to acknowledge those deeds of valour by every meats in their power. —(fieer, hear, ant cheers.) On the 25th Sir Henry Ilardinge, not :inmindful of that solem i day, encamped on that bloody field where many a relative, ffient, and' comrade fell, and returned thanks to the Almighty for the tea ty perils and dangers they had escaped.—(Hear, hear.) It was also pleasing to ref et that this slorions triumph was unalloye I by a sin sle act which diminished the eitisfactlon it afforded, for it was nothing more, on the part of the liritisa forces, than repelling an enemy who had made au unjust and inwarrantable aggression. - (Hear.) All along a peaceful policy had been observed; but the event proved how necessary it was to cake precautions agamst surprise. (Hear. hear.) lie trusted the result of this battle Weifel prove to the Sei kits how (stile any attempt to upset the British althority in India must prove —(hear, hear) and how happy they might be under British dominion and British 'ustice.— (Hear, hear.) Mr. EesTwregs, who announced himself as a Sepoy officer, spoke afthe hardships the Sepoys endured, and contended that their duties were too severe. • He was called to order by Mr. Ciiax, who said he conceived the Hon. Proprietor was tra velling out of the subject under discussion.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. WEEDING said it afforded him very great pleasure to express his concurrence in the resolutions- he had heard read and the sen timents expressed by the properer and seconder of them.—(Hear.) in referring to the officers that had been engaged, he must speak of sue British officer of the greatest promise who had fallen—he meant Major Broadfoot; and in making that allusion he could not do better than point out to the attention of the Court the glowing eulogy .vhich had been passed by- the Governor-General on his political Agent, in his dispatch of the 21st, which described him as a most tivaluabie agent, and an officer second to none in the service. lie (Mr. Weeding) thought that some public honour should be paid to the memory of this most meritorious officer. He had left two children behind him who had been dependent on him for support, and to whom he had acted he the twofold character of a brother and a parent ; for these, also, some provision ought to be made.—(Hear, Gear.) With regard to those who had been engaged in the late glo rious Cruggie, as the Government had proposed to pay them some tribu o of respect, he considered that Court ought not to be behind it, but agree likewise to some testimonial. With these few wont's he would conclude by most cordially supporting the motion. An Host. PROPRIETOR wished to say a few words in reference to the difference which was stated to have taken place between the 63d Regiment, and the 12th and the 14th. He lead a letter in his possession on this point, from which he 'would read an extract. (The Ron. Gentleman then read the extract, which was to the effect, that the 63e1 Regiment had behaved with the greatest gallantry in the en eagemont, having captured a great number of the enemy's guns, and having been engaged in the thickest and hottest of the fight the half of its men had been destroyed, besides six officers. This was not eta`ed with any invidious motive, as the army throughout had behaved with the greatest courage, and it might be said upon the whole, there never was a more united army.—(Hear, hear.) If he might allude to a dispatch received last night, it would be seen that through the urbane and considerate conduct of the Governor-General, any difference that existed had been partially allayed, and he had no doubt that the next dispatches would show that harmony was per fectly restored.—(Cheers.) General Coltman expressed his humble meed of gratitude to the troops who had been engaged in the action with the Seikhs. He would not go into particulars after the splendid orations which had been delivered in both House of Parliament, and after the able speeches of the Chairman and Deputy Chairman on the present occasion. He merely rose to add his humble testimony to that which had already been so well said respecting the bra very of the troops; still he would wish to say a few words to enable the proprietors to appreciate the deeds of the soldiers who had been engaged, and without which they could not value the bravery they had shown. • Especially would he refer to the native army. It was very inefficiently manned ; it was obliged to go into ection with but very few officers. An HON. PROPRIETOR said this was not the question. The CHAIRMAN hoped the Hon. Proprietor (General Corefield) would confine himself to the question. On the 18th of the month, he would be happy to hear him on the subjects he was going into theta. General COREFIELD desisted from proceeding further, and sat down. Mr. PETER GORDON rose, and was proceeding to allude to a peti tion from Reading, presented to the House of Commons, the other evening by 3lr. Bright, against the vote of thanks to the Indian army, when he was called by several Proprietors to order. Ile then re ferred to the character pf the meeting, which he represented as prin cipally made up of military men, and therefore interested parties, and was proceeding to di'ate on this topic, when Sir PETER LAURIE rose to order. Ile said that other Hon. Gen tlemen had been called to order ter departing from the question, and he did not see why the Hon. Gentleman now iu possession or the Court should be allowed to do so. The CHAIRMAN intimated to Mr. Gordon that he must confine him self to the question, else he would not be allowed to proce:d. M. P. GORDON—Then, sir, I move that all the words of the re solution moved, following the words " after that," be struck out, and the following be added, "that this t. taut deeply regrets the war breaking out in India." Considerable confus'on followed the announcement of this amend ment, which, however, fell stillborn for the want of a seconder. Mr LusHINGTON, one of the Directors, said, that after what had fallen from the Chairman and Deputy-Chairman, he would net occupy their attention long. The point he wished to allude to was the flat lily of the native army. The greatest praise was due to them for the in liner in which they had conducted themselves. Great attempts had been made to seduce them, but without success.—(Hear, hear.) This fidelity he attri buted to the parental care of the Government. He was persuaded that unless every indulgence had been given to the native scpoys this fidelity would not have been shown. It was a satisfactory circumstance, as it certainlye proved that the native army was perfectlysatislied with the conduct of the Government towards them. —(Hear.) Before sitting down he would allude to one officer that was to be mentioned above all others, who had fallen—he referred to General Sale.—(Hear.) Ile remembered that but a few months 'ago he presided over an entertainment given to that gallant officer, when .he • (Mr. Lushington) saw him in health and strength. He little dreamt then that so soon after he should receive the tidings of his melancholy end -he would not say melancholy end, for his end was glorious, while his name will live in the memory of the co entry which he Served so well. Colonel SYKE3 having briefly expressed himself respecting the bravery of the troops, Mr. G. THOMPSON said he had been struck by two facts on which the -Chairman and Deputy-Chairman had enlarged, welch were the discipline, largeness, and courage of the Seikh army, and the disparity of the British army in regard to numbers. Whether this was only done to justify more strongly the vote of - thanks, he would not say, but he must remark lie was much struck with the signal discrepancy between the dispatches of Major Ilroadfoot and actual facts. Re ferring to Major I3roadfoot's dispatch of the Out of Dectmber, the Seikh army was described as in a state of dis organisation, while debauchery, confusion, and every species of licentiousness pervaded Lahore. This account furnished to the Governor-General was totally at variance with subsequent events as given in the dispatches of Sir Hugh Gough and Sir Henry Har dingo. There must have been some gross errors in the information that had beets given, else there would not hare been such a de ficiency of men at the point where the Seikh army crossed the Stifle', described by the chairman anddeputy- c h a i rman that day. Ile attributed the massacre at Moodkee and at Ferozesbah to Sir H. Gough and Sir Henry Hardinge relying on the information furnished by that Gallant Officer, Major Broadfoot respecting the state of Lahore. On this head they had been misinformed, and he mentioned the fact with the object Of drawing the attention of the Directors to It. It was his deliberate opinion that the loss of men had been occasioned by the false informa tion Punised to the Britsh-Governmnt.—Cries of "etion.") An Hort. h Psomeron rose i to order. e He thought the policy of the proceeding relating to the late events should be discussed at another time. It was important that oil the motion now before the Court there should be an unanimous expression of opinion. Mr. G. THOMPSON said he could have stated in as short a period as that in which lie had been interrupted all he had to say. He re peated that the sate of things in Decembsr, 1845, was altogether Mare% 19 whit it had Ineirepremteiin January, 1845, lied s S u e e l h kh a a g ir th y eri be n. eit g..o lll f t e ro fe , Co_ rre.v nished the chances of an attack bent mad. havebe n -rs ou o l b d feet h bn a e ve awed the Serk onuulmdm An Host. Paorareyos asked if,..0 - a vote of censure on the COyern^' rho b s e a r l n b k e a t thereite Ye nod nwd Sutlej to that ? IS before the Court. The CHAIRMAN toe— , . nested that he should confine himsell' to :11: said he had no intention of moving b a vote c ofeli rnor-General. He admired his Pure - actual a r e l . n p r 4 r i o h9 c ey., s r e o i r - re kind tees, and consideration throughout the whole arthunis ear t an , and finally his religious humility and feeling. It was no taint sni os g • - his e that he acted from false information respecting what was really going forward on the other side of the Indus. Ho brought this forn'ard not by way et Censure, but in order that they might guard against slntlar mishaps in future, He:must refer to another matter before slitting down, It had been suggested that the name of the Deity should be invoked in connexion with those pro eeediugs. To this he was utterly opposed. The whole genius, spirit, and practice en:Christianity was contrary to such proceedins, It was net for him to .say how tar the Deity interfered to cause wars or rutuours of wars to serve his own wise but inscrutable ends, brit lie (Mr. Thompson) wotdd not consent that that sacred name should be mixed with such proceedings as they had been gemsiclering. He would join the Court in a vote of thanks to the army, for they had been fighting for them and their Govern and were no parties to the circumstances that had originally given that tetritory and that Government to than. But while lie gave his Whig() of thanks, h;., Loped that inquiry won); be made into the circumstances that preceded th !ate events, for lie was persit:ded that the dispatches of Major Broadfoot were l'es from beglimhlii to end.— (Cries of " - Order, order.") He dissented from the Chairman in his applying such terms as "treacherous," " faithless," to the Seikhs, as if done for the PqrPOst of tinder-rating them and over-rating the British If they Feud Indian history they would find that 'they had no occasion what ever to apply epithets to others of whith they themselves had been so I epeatedly guilty. In W 144444114 lie would give his cordial support to the vote of thanks. Mr. How N e d not, to tiisenss the point raised by the Hon.

It was always the policy of tha enuny to deceive, and no doubt the *Ails resorted to stratagem in order to mislead the British army, by unexpectedly crossing the Sutlej at Hurkee. The Hon. Proprietor was proceeding to discuss the policy of the Goyernnr-General and the proceedings of 3lajm Broadfoot, witell be was called to order by sir. Crania, who, considering Major Broadfoot was dead, that lie might have been ftetssed by those in whom he had placed iniplieft re:l4llw, anti that it was generally believed that he had done his duty faititfoily, it was improper to discuss the subject on that occasion. Major GALLOWAY could not give a silent vet on the suliject, as he considered that Sir Hugh Gough, b Henry tiordinge, Major Broad foot, and the other officers of the British army, had acted with tne greatest propriety, and had gained one of the greatest victories ever achieved in Intlia• — (Cheers.) Mr, G. TuoatesoN explained that he not wish to bring a charge against Major Broadfoot; ho meant slimily to state that the ads-ices which he received from Lahore were false, and that consequently the Government, the Governor-General, and the other authorities in India were deceived, and that great disasters were thereby occa sioned, SHEITERD said the Seikh army had frequently approached the right bank of the Sutlej, and had as often retired, and that the GovernorsCeneral had consequently very slight reasons for believing that they would ultimately cross the river and invade the British territory. Mr. TWINING eulogised the conduct of the army, and regretted that there should he any difference of opinion respecting awarding them in unanimous vote of thanks for their great exertions, and the splendid victories they had achieved. The votes of thanks were then put seriatim, and respectively carried unanimously, and with lord applause. The Court then adjourned FRI s on the left troops, and dtmi- _A.
