" By the scheme promoted by the Direct Northern Railway Com pany it is proposed to bring York (to Cm wrth of which city there is a population exceeding five millions) within the distarce (as mea sured by time), of four hours and a half from London; to reduce by 42 miles the distance now traversed by the existing means of railway communication between those termini ; to lessen the distance as projected by the competing plan least favourable to the public) that of the Eastern Counties Extension by Cambridge and Lincoln) by 21 1 4 miles, and as projected by the most favourable rival scheme (that of the London and York) by ten miles ; and yet so to reconcile this result with local wants, as to place, without in any instance sacrificing the principle of directness, every town of importance in the districts to be served by this Company's main line nearer Lon don, either by means of the main line itself, or of well-devised lateral lines, than they are by the ,cheme of the London and York, which, for the sake of passing through certain towns, pursues a devious route to York, thereby inflicting a serious injury on the country north of the Humber. " Thus the scheme of the Direct Northern Railway offers to the North of England, and to all Scotland, advantages presented by no other project whatever. These advantages it also immediately con veys to Bedford, St. Neots, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Stamford, Grantham, Newark, Lincoln, East Retford, Sheffield, Gainsborough, Doncaster, Pontefract, Selby, and Hull ; whilst it lessens by twenty eight miles the route to Leeds, the great manufacturing capital of Yorkshire, itself rapidly becoming the centre of an important railway system. " With perfectly unexceptionable gradients, that in no case ex ceede 1 1 in 200, with upwards of sixty-nine miles of level on its main line, with no works of any engineering difficulty or of peculiarly ex pensive execution, with only 3,900 yards of tunnelling in eight tun nels, with no opening or swing bridges, with only one viaduct, and that of 500 yards, and with remarkably easy curves, the Direct North ern Railway, whilst its primary object is to unite In the directest manner London and York, will at the same time serve a rich, fertile, and populous country, will reciprocate the advantages of easy and inexp,nsive communication between the manufacturing towns of the north and the agricultural and grazing comities of eastern and central England, and will connect by the shortest route the south of England and the continent of Europe with York, the north of England, and Scotland. The shareholders will observe the suggestion mode by Mr. Miller, which proposes to introduce a new element of safety, regularity, and speed Into railway travelling, by the conveyance of passengers and goods upon separate lines. This suggestion will, no doubt, receive the consideration due to its importance in the ensuing session. " The Committee entirely concur with Mr. Miller in the important bearing which the Holborn Terminus project has on the Direct Northern. It is in effect, though under different management, an ex tension of that line into the heart of London. By its means the London Terminus of the Direct Northern Railway will be immediately avail able for the Post-office and the City of London generally (between • Furnival's- inn and Gray's-inn-lane), and Will itself form a portion of one able of the widestTheroughfares in London "will- be in - Ih3" immediate vicinity of the Courts of Law and Inns of Court, and comes more into the heart of London, with less sacrifice of valuable property, than any metropolitan terminus which has been suggested. " In accordance, therefore, with Mr. Miller's recommendation, and in pursuance of the powers entrusted to them by their proprie tary, the Committee have taken steps to secure control over this project, satisfied that it affords the most central, and, at the same time, the most accessible and least expensive London terminus. " The Committee refer the shareholders to the map accompanying this Report; it fully shows the course and relations of the Direct Northern Railway, and its national character. " Up to the 30th of November, all the standing orders of Parlia ment have been complied with ; and the solicitors report their per ability M fulfil all that remains to be completed within the time limited by the Legislature. " Thus prepared, ant with deposits paid, and the proper deeds signed by a body of most responsible Shareholders, the Com mittee intend to make their application to Parliament at the earliest possible nay, confident that a project of such undoubted public utility as the Direct Northern, in which the public service itself is deeply interested, will there receive what It only needs to ensure its success —a fair and impartial hearing." The following tables, appended to the Report of the Company's Engineer (John Miller, Esq.), will show the relative advantages of the Direct Northern in point of distances, as compared with its com petitors for legislative sanction, and with existing lines. It may here be observed, that the distance between the cross of St. Paul's Cathedral, in London, and the centre of the Great Tower of York Minster, as measured along the earth's surface, is, according to the Ordnance Survey, 920,108.7 feet, or very nearly 1744 miles ; ani that the main line of the Direct Northern, between London and York, is 176 miles.

On Thursday, the 20th of November, about sunset, the Vixen steamer arrived with the High Imperial Com missioner Keying and suite, accompanied by the Hon. Major Caine,. Chief Magistrate •, A. W. Elmlie, Esq., Secretary to the Superintendent of Trade ; and the Chi nese Colonial Secretary, the Rev. Charles Gutzlaff, who had been deputed to proceed to Canton for the purpose. A considerable number of the inhabitants and a crowd of Chinese were in waiting at the Commisseriat to witness the landing, which took place under the British salute of a Minister Plenipotentiary. His Excellency was re ceived by the Commandant, who, along with his aic'ese de-camp of the Governor and General, conducted him to a spacious residence in the Queen's-road, which had been handsomely placed at the free disposal of Go vernment for the purpose. As the barge approached the wharf, the Chinese band " pour'd around a torrent of shrill sound," and on Key ing s stepping ashore three gigantic crackers were fired off, which we presume is the Chinese method of saluting. Having seated himself in his chair, an attendant with a brush having dusted the soles of his immense shoes, and the materials of a procession, composed of English, Chinese, and Indians, proceeded along the road, produc ing a picturesque effect with more charms for a painter's eve than for that of Mr. Inspector May. The motley assemblage certainly did not " stand upon the order of their going," and they seemed to be actuated only by the sentiment of the French soldiers in Henry V.— " The devil take order now—we'll swell the throng." Near the head of the crowd was a Chinese band, making like that of Chrononhotonthologos " rough music," and taking due advantage of their position to let their in struments be heard. There were also men bearing aloft pavilions, such as our readers at home may see on por celain cups and lackerod ware; and mingled with these were others carrying large boards on their shoulders, inscribed with Chinese characters, which may have been intended to set forth the titles and dignities of the Commissioner; and the bare feet and tattered ap pearance of the fellows themselves might also have been intended to mark the contrast between the great men and their pursuivants. 'The guard which followed must have been one of honour solely; for their weapons, of all imaginable shapes, were merely of painted wood, the blades being ornamented with gold leaf and tin-foil. The executioners may be considered as forming a part of this group. They were clad in sober coloured frieze, with grey hats shaped precisely like those of the guards, and each armed with a whip or other instrument of corrective justice. At some distance followed a body of sepoys with their band, sadly puzzled to keep time or tune with another Chinese one, immediately behind, consisting of eight performers on gongs, cymbals, and wind instruments ; for it must be remarked that all the available music was to be heard to gether, mingled in one inharmonious whole. The prim cipal wind instruments were in shape like a flageolet with a child's brass trumpet stuck to the end of it, emitting a round precisely like the chanter of a bagpipe without the drone. Then came Keying in a large, comfortable sedan chair, borne by eight coolies, and guarded by a body of police ; and behind were the officers of the mili tary staff of the colony, and a series of chairs, having mandarin; of superior button and unquestionable feather, down to others who had nothing to distinguish their rank except the company they were found in. In front of the mat shed, which we still dignify with the name of church, a number of ladies seated on couches attracted the special regard of the Minister. As he ap proached his residence, a detachment of the 42d Native Infantry contrived to make the way comparativey clear, and at the door he was received by Captain Bruce, As sistant Adjutant-General. The next forenoon the Governor, accompanied by the Major-General and military staff called upon Keying, who received his visitors with his accustomed graceful urbanity, embracing his Excellency and the General. Being a visit of compliment, Keying was not forgetful of the usual forms of Chinese etiquette, and when the com pany rose, ho conducted the governor to the outer door, and took a ceremonious leave. At four o'clock in the afternoon the Chinese returned the visit in state, and afterwards accompanied the go vernor to witness a review of the troops, whom they found drawn up in line in the Queen's-road, the right touching the governor's flag-staff. Keying went down the line in his chair, each regiment presenting arms to him as he arrived in front of its centre. The artillery then fired seven guns, and the infantry a volley in suc cession, which was again repeated. The corps next broke into columns of subdivisions right in front, and marched past in review order, the ()Mears saluting the governor and Keying, who, with the other mandarins, made :their acknowledgments by touching their caps. When the troops had gained sufficient space beyond the saluting flag, they halted, counter-marched, and marched past in quick time ; and on arriving on their former g round they again halted, counter-marched, and marched home to their quarters. The Chinese seemed much interested in the display, and frequently asked ques tions about the purpose of the various evolutions. Be fore returning to their chairs, on the suggestion of the Major-General, they proceeded to the esplanade to witness the artillery unlimber, limber, and fire their guns. When the soldiers were seated on the dis mounted guns and carriages, Keying was very curious to know what this meant ; and on the officer applied to having said it was to conceal the men and guns from the enemy when there was reason to fear they might be overpowered and taken, Sir John Davis suggested to Dr. Gutzlaff that it might be as well to omit in his interpretation all reference to fear in connexion with an English soldier, In the evening Keying and the more distinguished members of his suite dined at the governor's, where they met the general, admiral, and heads of departments. About nine o'clock a party of ladies and gentlemen assembled, and dancing was shortly afterwards com menced. One of the Chinese, a member of the Imperial family, offered his arm to a lady en cavalier, and had she not apparently misunderstood his meaning, would probably have helped to form a set at a quadrille. As it was, he took the arm of an aide-de-camp, and stood beside one of the dancers, keeping time with head, hands, and feet, and Ns aggishly ogling the ladies. A quadrille is at best a monotonous affair to lookers-on, and the polka, or better still, a Highland reel, w ou ld p ro b a bly have offered more char ms to the Chinese, except perhaps one old gentleman with immense Pickwick spectacles, who, seated between two ladies, deliberately filled his pipe and puffed away, in happy indifference to all that was passing around. Keying, feeling a little fatigued with the day's exertions, retired early, and was, as usual, accompanied to his chair by his host. During the forenoon of the day following, hi s Excel: lency honoured Mr. Gutzlaff with a call ; in the after noon a Peng conference, which rilasted upwards o f t wo hours. was held between the eiovernor and Imperial Commts. lo • -" ner • and when it broke u p they proceeded together to inspect the new military hospital. In the evening the Chinese dined on board the Agincourt, which they had visited in the morning. The ship, profusely decorated with flags, was illuminated from stem to stern, and when the royal salute was fired, the effect as seen on shore was magnificent. The deck covered with awn ings formed a splendid ball room, and the mandarins, greatly struck with this union of power and refinement, declared that a hundred years would not suffice to pro duce anything like it in China. Next morning the Minister and some of the mandarins made an excursion round the island in the Pluto steamer, accompanied by the Governor and the Admiral. The sea being a little rough, he felt sick, but the weather, on the whole, was fine, and he expressed himself much gra tified with the cruise, In the evening the Imperial Commissioner partook of the well-know and hearty hospitality of the Major- General. The party, from the smallness of the apartments, was limited to sixteen. There were only two toasts drunk during the evening. Vpon the cloth being removed, the Major-General gave first " The Queen of England a nd the Empe ror o f Chi n a, and may the happy relation s subsisting between the two countries be productive of increased commerce and pro sperity-to botla." This toast was drunk wit the nsual lent hi:pours and the greatest applause, the band playing God save the Queen." The General, in the second toast, addr esse d Keying more at length, and after expressing the honour and gratification he felt in receiving him on the present oc casion, added that, bred and born a soldier like himself, it was not his intention to occupy much time with un necessary compliments, but simply to assure him that he gave him, with all sincerity, a soldier's welcome, and felt satisfied that there was that professional sympathy be tween them, that would lead him to accept it with corre sponding cordiality. Having said this, the Major-General continued —"I must not forget the high, representative, and diplomatic capacity in which his Excellency is now among us, or the great objects of commercial union and pc ace he is come here to consolidate. In that capacity, therefore, and as the representative of the highest au thority in China, I beg leave to propose his health—the health of Keying, the enlightened statesman, and who, alike the friend of England and of China, has talight us to respect him as much for his political talents as we value him fir his social qualities." Keyirg listened with great attention, and seemed anxious to have every sentence translated fully as the General went along. After the loud applause with which his health had been drunk had somewhat sub sided. Keying replied with great grace and readiness, to the effect, that " though his talents had been greatly overrated, he the couldGe n e a r s a s l u had h i o ra n !yodnotnhee justicefaithr o to h a Tartar r sin cerity,a soldier, while he had any voice in the affairs of China, the peace and prosperity of both our count ries would be always the objects nearest to his heart." He then gave his hand to the Major-General and the Governor, who sat beside him, sNith earnest good-will, as if anxious, by this act, to convey at once his public feeling and his per- sonal acknowledgment. Nothing could exceed the affability and good humour of Keying, accompanied by the highest tact and good breeding. He was jovial at dinner, but without excess ; and after having volunteered a Mantchow Tartar song, which he gave with great spirit, the company adjourned to the drawing-room, where a party, consisting of the ladies of the garrison, with Most of the naval and military officers and civiLresidents, had assembled. Keying went the round of the roonewith the utmost blandness, °V bring his hand to each of the ladies, and distinguishing one or two of them by little presents of purses or rosaries taken from his person. • There was one little girl in particular, about seven years of age, present, in whom Keying seemed much in terested, and it was delightful to witness the good nature and benevolence of his manner when he took her upon his knee to caress her, and then placed an ornament about her neck. His fine Tartar head and person, grouped with the infant beauty of the little stranger, formed quite a picture. Keying retired shortly after eleven o'clock, but not till he had asked the General, with his characteristic goodnuture, if he wished him to remain any longer, evi dently desirous not to disappoint the guests, who crowded round him with a mingled feeling of respect and curiosity. There was another instance of high breeding . worthy of being recorded. A married lady who was sitting near him attracted a good deal of attention, and having desired one of his attendants to bring him a silk hand kerchief, he presented it to her, and begged he might re tain her own in exchange for it. The lady was momen tarily embarrassed, and Keying seeing this, said "he hoped he had done nothing contrary to our usages of propriety," an apology which was immediat,ly appre ciated and understood. In the course of the following day, the last conference took place between the English and Chinese Plenipoten tiaries, and in the evening Keying gave a sumptuous en tertainment in the Chinese fashion. The hour of din ner specified in the invitations, which are curiosities in their way, was six o'clock, and before that time all the guests had assembled in one of the lower rooms, ex cept the Governor, upon whose arrival being announced, Keying hurried to meet his Excellency at the landing place, and to conduct him to a seat in the centre of the room, the rest of the company sittin; in arm-chairs formally placed on the other side, with a small table between each two. The half hour before dinner, proverbially dull and trying to the patience in Europe, is in China relieved by the sedulous attentions of the entertainers, and by re freshments of the finest tea, which are offered to each guest in little cups—what with us is the saucer being made to perform the more useful office of a cover, to preserve the aroma. Dinner being announced, the company proceeded up stairs to the sound of music which had not the least re semblance to the " Roast Beef of Old England." A large table was set out in the spacious saloon, at the centre of which sat Keying, with Sir John Davis on his left hand, and Major-General d'Aguilar on his right ; and, proceeding round the table in the Chinese order, from left to right, the other distinguished guests. To readers at home it may be interesting to have a pretty minute account of the whole menu of the dinner, especially as it differed in many respects from the de scriptions of Du Halle, Father B mvet, and other more modern writers. from the number of dishes succes sively served up, we infer that it was a feast of the " more solemn sort" spoken of by the former of these authori ties ; but instead of a small table for each guest there was, as we have said, only a single large one in the English: fashion for the whole company, and except such a general invitation to be seated as might have passed unnoticed in Europe, there was none of the ceremonious bows to individuals with Father Bouvet speaks of. Before each guest was placed a plate and hwal tz', or chop sticks, on one sid e and a knife, fork, and spoon on the other. The chop-sticks, however, were pretty generally used, a little awkwardly at first, it must be admitted, by the English, while the mandarins, pro bably out of politeness to their guests, occasionally made use of the fork and spoon. Beyond the plates were ranged innumerable little pyramids of preserves, pickles, and dried seeds, which from the experiments we made, we presume, were not intended to be eaten, but placed merely for show ; but at the left hand there was a small saucer of sweetmeats and salted relishes, which were partaken of and washed down with a glass of wine. And then commenced the more important part of the feast, by the army of servants setting before each guest a small bowl, about the size of a moderate breakfast cup, of birds' nest soup, which might pass for very good vermicelli at home, and scarcely merits the celebrity it has obtained, or seems worth the enormous price it is said to cost. This was the prelude to a succession of other soups, stews, and hashes, most of which were so excellent that the genius Archteus, who, according to the fanciful Van llelmont, keeps post in the upper orifice, as a sort of custom-house officer to the stomach, to watch all contra band food, must certainly have found his occupation gone, and declared for free trade on the occasion. After the birds'-nest soup, there were venison soup, duck soup, never-to-be-sufficiently-praised sharks' fin soup, chesnut soup, pork stew, a sort of vegetable pa' es, with gravy in a separate saucer, stag-sinew soup, shark skin soup, second only to his elder brother of the fin; earth-nut ragout. a gelatine soup, made of the pith of stags' horns macerated ; mushroom and chesnut soup, stewed ham sweetened with sugar or syrnp, a stew of bamboo shoots, another of fish-maws, esculents with hot sauce, slices of hot cakes and cold jam puffs; with numerous other nondescript soups and stews, in large bowls placed in the centre of the table, of which vege tables, pigeons eggs, and more especially pork, seemed to be component parts, showing Chinese cooks, like Beaumont and Fletcher's, to be " thoroughly grounded in the mysteries and hidden knowledge of all soups, sauces, and salads whatsoever." In such a labyrinth of novel dishes, even the most practical gourmand might have been excused for feeling a little at a loss ; and our entertainers seemed to appre ciate the circumstance, for when any particularly good mess came upon the table, they would put some upon the plates of those near them ; and Keying, with the most refined Chinese politeness, more than once took a tit-bit from his own dish, and conveyed it with his chop sticks to the honoured guests beside him. Lest there might have been any one who could not contrive to make a sumptuous dinner from such mate rials, there were in the centre of the table roast peacock, pheasant, and ham ; and tea was several times served to relieve this active "alimentary. progression," never dreamt of by Ude or Brillat Savarin. It is worth while noting as a remarkable circumstance, that, during the whole dinner, there was not a grain o rice on the table, not even mixed with other food, though almost all writers tell us it is never wanting at a Chinese dinner of any sort. If, according to Sir John Davis, the appearance of bowls of rice at such feasts is the sig nal of the repast approaching its termination, the party on the present occasion must have broken up long before the host was tired of his guests ; fur the rice signal was never given. da T ri h n e s r o e k nn o e f r, g n o o o r d unmind ful to do due honour to them by frequent ly . pledging ater m w s h as ° o n oa atlack their guests ; and this soon . came . to be no lig h t were wines, t hlioq Chinese ueur liqueurs, a and i n - on bumpers every time, and that . the b, g gla ss should be formidable - looking g been ftourrnthedeyupwoenrethneevtearbsleatlinstiperdowiofthoraimtser e ho neatly emptied. perceptible, though we remarked a or Tartar opposite where ‘ye sat, who besides his share of champagne and other wines, discussed the . great . er part The e ff ect upon themselves asi Was scarcely of a bottle of mareschino, .and made serious inroads upon another of noyau, stroking his chin, and exclaim• l o g, " Hoh 1" at each glass.

A few other toasts followed, amongst the rest, ' The King of the French" and " The King of Sweden," each of whom had a subject among the guests ; And Keying then called upon the Ooyermir for a song, as a condition to giving one himself, which he afterwards (lid, and v:n.y will, too, and joined lustily in the applause with which it was received Pwang-tye•shing gave us two songs. Ttie Emperor's son-iu-law excused himself on account of a hoarseness, brought on, doubtless, by the wo:lted exercise of his lung's during the visit ; and an attendant Tartar, a dtuc,ndant of Gengis-Khan, we were told, chanted a wild lilt, having many of the cha racteristics of an old Scottish or Irish air. On the part of the English guests, besides the Gover nor, songs were Lung by the Major-General, the Chief Justice, the Hon. Frederick Bruce, and Mr. Shortrede. The Chinese ara fond of enlivening their entertain ments with shows and dramatic exhibitions, and most authors speak of these as invariable eccompaniments. The present dinner was an exception, probably because visits te foreign Powers never having bean before dreamt of in China, players form no part of an ambassador's retinue. However, a substitute was found in a game which we do not remember ever having seen described. The flowers (dahlias) were given to Keying, who first began whirling them round his head, and then holding them to his nose, gave one to the Governor and another to the General, who were desired to hand them round the table. In the meantime, a drum was kept beating in the outer room, the performer, at random, ma ki ng a sudden stop ; and the person in whose hand :he flower then chanced to be found was required to quaff off a bumper of wine. This sport, from the sort of esprit de patrie with which it was kept up, created a good deal of amusement, the Chinese being especially mindful to watch their victims, awl laughing good humoured i -y when caught them- In sporting phrase, the pace of the 6ing 1 ie6 uncommonly fast, and all " caroused potations pottle deep ;" but whether it was the excellence of the drink, or the counteracting effects of the rag)uts, every one, European and Chinese, seemed quite able to carry his liquor discreetly, The company broke up about eleven o'clock, Keying and the rest of the Chinese accompanying their guests down stairs, and taking leave of them at the door, both appearing to be mutually satisfied with the meeting. At half. past six next morning the minister embarked on board the steamer for Canton, having previously em braced the Governor at the door of his residence, and the General at the wharf, whither the Gallant Officer accompanied the Imperial Commissioner. A man so famous in the western world as Keying was, of course, the observed of all obse vers during his visit. He is, we should suppose, of some 50 years of age, his tall and majestic form being graced with manners at once dignified and courteous. His whole deportment, in short, was that of a perfectly well-bred man of the world, and but for his dress and language, he might have been taken for a fine specimen of the old English gentleman of the highest class. As we saw him on such public occasions, his bland countenance was beaming with good-humoured benevolence ; but it is of an intellectual class, and lighted up with a twinkling eye, which, as occasion demands, would be equally expressive of penetrating shrewdness as of social glee. NOTES ON THE OUTRAM CON- TROVERSY. 'From the Kurrachee Advertiser of the 4th of October, 1845.] One of the greatest errors prevalent in reference to the controversy beteen General W. Napier, and Colonel Outram is that the General was the attacking party. A great deal of sympathy has in consequence been accorded to the Colonel on this account. Ile is supposed to be an injured man merely fighting for his own ; a person at tacked who has a right to use any weapons within his reach for his defence ; a person strove to be trod down, and only seeking to upset an ungenerous foe. Such is the most prevalent notion on this subject, but it is from beginning to end the reverse of the truth. It was the Governor of Sinde who was first attacked both by Colonel Outram and his party ; and all that his brother General William Napier has done has been to come to the rescue of ore who had neither time nor inclina tion to enter the field of controversy himself. Having stated my premises, I shall now proceed to; adduce my proofs, and those proofs will be best furnished by giving a short account of the origin of the controversy. I defy any one to disprove a tittle of what I shall assert ; and I trust that those who read in search of truth, and notto cavil in party spirit, will find how reverse of the part attributed to him, Sir Charles Napier's conduct has been. It will be remembered by the pul lie that, for reasons with which the Governor of Sinde had nothing earthly to do, but which, I have no doubt, Lord Ellen borough will satisfactorily explain, if called on by those competent 0 question him in the House to which he belongs. Colonel Outram was removed in October, 1842, from the political management of Sinde, and the Governor Sci:ide was placed in sole charge, both political and military, of the province. In consequence of this ar rangement he proceeded to Sukkur, and there relieved Colonel, then Major Outram. Unacquainted with the character of the Colonel ex cept from description, much of which was the Colonel's own mouth, he felt a very high opinion of him for generosity, as well as courage, and paid him the glowing compliment which rang round India afterwards, and perhaps as much as anything had the effect of bringing Colonel Outram to the notice of the many, who being distant from the scene cared little about Sinde or the changes in its management, I should not allude to this circumstance were it not to show the feeling the Go vernor was prepared to view him with ; a feeling which even Colonel ()dram's friends cannot deny was one exaggerated, or to say,"the least of extreme partiality and favour. After this the Colonel returned to India, and being in extreme cisfivour with the Governor-General, had of course nothing to look forward to but regimental duty, a furlough, or such inferior staff employment as lay within the patronage of the Commander-in-Chief, or Governor of his own Presidency. The latter was but a narrow field of hope, all appointments being filled, and the more lucrative ones being generally in departments where seniority must be attended to: a furlough, it was undeistood, was not desirable, for the Colonel was not believed to have money sufficient to live with much com fort at home, and it was not to be supposed that a re sidence there would much further his views, while the influence of the Governor-General was in the other scale. Such was the stats, of affairs with Colonel Outram, when the Governor of Sinde found an opening for re lieving him from his embarrassments, and bringing bins again forward on the stage on which he had figured before. Lord Ellenborough, had, by this time, come to his decision on the charges preferred against the Ameers by Colonel Outram: that decision was in ac cordance with the views the Colonel had expressed, ad verse to them, and with some modifications, rather in favour than otherwise of these princes. His Lordship determined to impose on them as a punishment for their treason the penalties Colonel Outram had proposed in the treaty which he had drawn up, and submitted to his Lordship or in default to treat them as that officer said they deserved to be treated as enemies who had most justly incurred the forfeiture of their thrones. This sacured to Sir Charles Napier an opportunity for the exercise of his kindly feeling to Colonel Outran), too favourable for him to pass over. Being allowed to select a commissioner to carry on the negotiations, he ;lamed Colonel Outran) ; and though Lord Ellenborough dis tinctly warned him of the dangerous nature of the man 1 as a political connexion, he, all unsuspecting honesty, and believing Colonel Outram to be the same, still I pr,ssed the appointment, and his claim was without fur ther difficulty allowed. Little could the Governor then foresee all the long train cf evils this act of generosity was to bring down upon him, but like the poisoned shirt of the Centaur, Colonel Outram seems destined to be a source of acute repentance to every one connected with him in affairs, whether the person be Sir John Keane, Lord Ellenboroug,h, or Sir Charles Napier. Such was the manner in which Colonel Outram re turned to Scinde—not to guide Sir Charles in his politi cals, much less in his military arrangements ; for Si or seks for Charles is not a man who either requir es, g uidance : and had he been so, th e p o li t i cal functions to be executed by the commissioner Were so excessively nar row, that, as Lord Ellenborourrh had remarked, one of the Aides-de-Camp, or any oth b er officer of the force, might have easily performed ihem Its fact, for all but politeness sake, a puttawalla (am . essenger) might have discharged them, for they considered in nothing but carrying a treaty to the Ameers fur signature, and tel -1 ling them, in as few words as the occasion required, that they would subject themselves to a worse fate. The reason therefore that Colonel Outran) was employed was solely a kindly attempt on the part of Sir Charles Na pier to open a path again to him for political employ, and to a return of favour on the part of the Governor- General. Colonel Outram accepted, and apparently with thank fulness, the appointment, but it was not long before it appeared that his views were very foreign to the views of those who had employed him, Sir Charles Napier and the Governor General, lie appeared anxious to re-open questions which had already been decided, and decided on his own statements ; instead of following the plain and simple course laid down, ho appeared de irons of leading the Governor into the shoal of Sindittn diplomacy where he would necessarily be 00 guide, and it was nothing but the firmness of Sir Charles which prevented his succeeding —a firmness which Colonel Outram has since construed as a settled purpose, whatever happened, to put an end to the reign of the Ameers. The Council of India has, however, negatived the interpretation, and allowed that, had the Governor followed in the path the Colonel beckoned hint to, the arms of Sinde would have been . lost, and India, perhaps, at this moment in a state of rebellion. The view the Council have takenisef:. of firmed by subsequent conversations with the i troubla to Stnda, and no rational man who takes bt, ' it to be the go into the case can for a moment vP,a correct one.

Th meecrteld Out ere ry fn ' ducement to obtai n d e l a y ; it was now two days, now three days, now a halt here, and then another there, that was asked for. Had the proposed delays been to give time for refererce to the Governor-General there might have been some shadow of reasoa in them, though re ferences were needless oe a subject which had been so maturely weighed before decided on ; but the delay of two or three days could be fur no earthly purpose, but for procrastinating matters till the hot weather came on, or at least till the Ameers could assemble their forces. The General had his orders to execute, and had no power of deviating from them ; what purpose, therefore, could delay serve, but an adverse one. If the treaty was to be signed without a recurrence to force, it might just as well have been signed at first as at last. But the great point is it never was signed, or rather it never was signed with any purpose of adhering to it, for it was torn up and trampled on by the signers almost immediately. It was signed, in short, as is now known to all, with no intention of holding to it, but simply in the hopes by the last stratagem, of obtaining a delay sufficient to give the Aineers time to collect an army, with which in a few days more they would have been capable of putting to the sword every Briton, and every British soldier, sepoy, and follower in Sinde. The attack on the Besideney immediately followed their tearing up the treaty ; au attack which is now as certained was planned by Nusseer Klein himself. That such is the fact is undoubted. Meer Bijjar, and Meer Ghoolam Shah have testified to it, and Mier Elan Mahomed, Ghoul Malionied Counibri Wallah, and all the chiefs in Sinde, can vouch for its truth. Ibis alone would prove the gross delusion in which Colonel Outrem lay. Some of his friends I know will persist that this was a false attack merely intended to frighten the party away ; but if this be true what becomes of Colonel Outram's dis patch describing the fight—his acceptance of the General's thanks for a battle, which Sir Charles at least assuredly thought real—his permitting an inscription in honour of the event to be put upon a sword given him by the public—and a Lieutenant-Colonelcy, and C.B. ship to be granted for the same service by the Crown. They who would make out the attack on the Presidency as merely a feint, make out a far worse case fur Colonel Outram than his wor. t opponents. The latter only charge him with a want of sagacity to manage a negotia tion in which failure entailed no dishonour; the latter would save his character for wisdom at the expense of every thing men hold dear. After the battle of Meeanee, as is well known, Co lonel Outram proceeded to Bombay, and there pro fessing all the time the greatest devotion and gratitude to Sir Charles, commenced that fierce struggle that has been since maintained b him to upset the policy par tied' itiSiiidaMend tta,ri isft'thor`conatessedett, Colonel Outram took in the :newspaper...part of thelusie ness he only can tell; but the statements that appeared day after day in the Bombay Times were so similar to those attributed to Colonel Outramitinwsasocitteittny,osthtaitmipfohse_ his confidence had — an d h s i a b d l e n too disbelieve t t b h o e s e p r i o n s E, were the authors of the libels. Colonel Outram shortly after went home, avowedly for the purpose of procuring a condemnation of the policy, and consequent political ruin of his commander; who had, from motives of the purest generosity, placed him in the confidential situation which alone gave power to his efforts. The extraordinary spectacle was thus exhibited of Sir Charles Napier's late commis sioner making use of confidential communications, and of knowledge obtained under circumstances which most men consider render secrecy in violable, to aid the violent endeavours of an adverse faction, and upset his late chief ; and strange to say, for the sole crime of carrying out the very measure he had himself, when resident, proposed to Lord Etlenborough, and which measure had been adopted entirely on his own suggestion. Put Colonel Outram and Sir Charles Napier for the moment out of the question, and let us ask what would be thought of any other man who acted thus ? To change sides is not often viewed in a favourable light in politics ; but to carry off when doing so all that had been confiden tially entrusted to one in the enemy's camp, would, in. English political circles at least, put a man utterly be yond the pale of employment by any party whatever. Imagine then ahe astonishment with which Sir Charles Napier received notice from the Governor-General that certain communications had been made to the court of directors by Colonel Outram, which were so worded, and turned us to give a most extraordinary appearance to a portion of Sir Charles Napier's conduct--an ap pearance perfectly contrary to the reality. Sir Charles afforded a most satisfactory explanation, and the result was a most complimentary letter from the Supreme Go vernment ; he came pure as snow from the ordeal, and the only effect was to confirm in the minds of the Go vernor-General and Council the conviction of Sir Charles's sagacity, and the ex'reme want of it, which had been displayed by Colonel Outran. Sir Charles thus stood unharmed by Colonel Outram's attack ; but he determined, and determined rightly, there should be an immediate end to all semblance of friend ship for one who had used him so ungenerously, and not till after this was Colonel Outram attacked in return ; an attack which under the circumstance was justified on every principle of self-defence. The Bombay Times was pouring invective upon invective against Sir Charles, and daily prophesying the effect of Colonel Outram's efforts in London. The Colonel on the other hand was moving heaven and earth in those circles, to which, from his rceently having been so mixed up with Sinde affairs, he had access ; and there, as has been seen, he used weanona to effect his object hitherto most scrupulously eschewed by all public men of any pretensions to the world's respect, he had thus declared open and most ungenerous war upon his late commander, and in return could expect no favour at his hands. The first result of Colonel Outram's conduct, was it belief on the part of General William Napier, that the man who could act as Colonel Outram had done would not hesitate to halloo on an unscrupulous paper to the hunting down his brother ; and under that impression, he called upon him for a distinct avowal or denial of any connexion with the false statements and scurilities of the Bombay Times. Scurrilities which appeared to be written with but one object, and that ono the Colonel was himself, in a manner contrary to all the rules of party warfare, pursuing, namely, the destruction of Sir Charles Napier's character, and the elevation of his own upon the ruin. The Colonel, in reply, declined avowing either connexion, or disconnexion with that point; said he was not answerable for what ap peared in too papers ; and failed to give what there was an opportunity of giving with grace, and what, in my opinion, the circumstances of the cas e i mperat i ve l y de manded, an assurance that he beheld the libels on Sir Charles, which had appeared in the Times, with as grea t disgust as General William Napier himself. Had he done this all might have still been well—his single error might have been forgotten ; and even if they had not remained friends, Sir Charles would never have stood in the position of Colonel Outram's enemy. I trtist I have shown what I set out by stating, that with Colonel Outram in reality, and not with General W, Napier, rests the onus of having ma d e t h e fi rst attack, and I shall ire my next proceed to the second point on which the Governor of Sinde has been misrepresented.
