OFFICE of the GOVERNOI: an.i COMPANY of COPPER MINERS In ENGLAND, Old 'Stead-street, London, Apri 8, 1846 The Court of Assistants of the Governor and Company of Copper Miners in England hereby give notice, that a DIVIDEND, for the half-year ending at Lady-day last, has b en this day declared, at the rata of five per cent. per annum. tree of incutne-tax, on thc paid-up capltal stock of the Conwany, and w•il be pa , a le at this Office, on and after FRIDAY, the 24th instant. betnn ea the hours of Eleven and Three. _ _ _ . By order of the Court of Assistants, W. INGLIS, Secretary, LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY. To the Scripholders and Subscribers to the Deed of the above Company . A Committee of Shareholders in the London and Yaik Railway has been formed, with the view of considering the prospects of this line, and whether anything can be done to lessen the responsibility of the Shareholders, •r in any way improve their position. The Committee view with alarm the daily depreeiati n t♦hich is taking place in the market in the shares of all new lines, and that this depreciation increases in the shares of those Companies which are most likely to obtain Bills. The expensive contest in Parliament of the London and York Com pany mint absorb all the deposits. If the Act be obtained, calls must immediately follow ; and the mejority of the scripholders will avoid registration, knowing that they will have opportunities hereafter of coming into the undertaking at a much lower price. The calls must, therefore. be enforced against those who have signed the Parlia- Inentary Contract. This fpartlid position of matters has induced the Committee to con sider that prbbably the Eastern Counties Company, who are thestrong opponents of tit, Losdot and York Company, may, for the sake of protection andamtaii ty to their own shareholders, be still open to some liberal coda:iron is and that the London and York directors sad shareholders ought, either by diminishing the extent of their undertaking (and consequently lessening the amount of calls to re ieve the pressure which will come en their subscribers), or by some absorption in the Easitern Counties Company, obtain a participation in an undertaking yieldirig a °resent profit, instead of one whose re turn, if ever °Wanted, will not be arrived at without years of painful sacrifices and distre-s. With these views, the Committee think ste; s ought to be immedi ately taken to open a negotiation with the Eastern Counties, it not to dissolve the London and Yo k Company. In the opinion of the Committee, either the line south of Peter borough ought to be abandoned, and the shares reeuced to 201. each, sr the line shenid be given up to the Eastern Counties Company, on their agreeing to pay the whole or a portion of the expenses, and giving shares in their Line as originally proposed. The statement below, showing the past and present position of several well-supported Companies who, before the Committee of the House of Commons, clearly showed a return on their capital from 6 to 8 per cent., proves that success on the part of the London and York Railway, in obtaining their 1111, will entail ruinous lo=s on the subscribers ,:nd scripholders ; and if any other argument was needed to maintain the views of the Committee, the following extra, t 'from the "Times" of the aih of April, might alone he iie med sufficient : " The character of the crisis, and its effects on tht. new lines. are graphically illustrated in the catastrophe of the 'Loudon and Oxf , rd Railway, as reported in ye,terday's paper : " 'Mr. I. K. Brunel, examined by the t:hairman.—The prices have So increased since the Acts were obtained, that the lines ment oned above (the Oxford anti Worcester, and the .)xford and Rugby) can not be constructed at the estimated prices. Considers that the con- Struction of railways is now 50 per cent. mere than at this time last Year. _ . " ' At this point of the proceedings the Chairman mid that :the Committee thought it unnecessary to hear any more evidence re specting t.,e London aod OxtOrd Line; and, accordingly, after the room had been cleared for a few minutes, t~F Chairman announced that the Committee were unanimously of o! , Mon that the preambk of the London and oxford had not been pros , d." The Committee beg to direct the attention of the shareholders to the official announcement of the Government's intention to immedi ,ately introduce an Act investing the seripitolder with such power, that a majority in number and value duly registered at any public Meeting will prevent the further progress or any Bill in Parliament ; and as the London and York Railway Bill will, in a very Pis' days, have to appear before a similar ttibuital as thatof the defunct London and Oxford, the ComMittee are, therefore, very anxious at once to ascertain if the shareholders concur in any of theft views, for which Purpose the following printed form may be obtained at the Com mittee-rooms, and every shareholder and subscriber to the deed is earnestly requested to return the same signed immediately, in order that the directors may be conferred with, or a pubis meeting con vened, as may be deemed most expedient for the protection of the Interests of all parties.

Foreign Department —The Hon. the Lieut.-Governor of the north west provinces has much gratification in announcing.to the people of Hindoestan, the entire dis person of all the Seikh forces on this side the Sutlej by the army of India, under the direction of the Right Hon. the Governor General. On the 28th ultimo they were defeated at Aleewal, near Loodianab, by Major- General Sir H. Smith, and their guns, to the number of sixty-seven, were taken or destroyed. On the 10th instant they were defeated near the Hureekee Ghat by his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief. All their guns to the number of sixty•six were captured, and they were driven across the river with great slaughter. It is thus that by the assistance of the Almighty Disposer of all events the unprovoked attack of these audacious enemies has been repelled after they have been com pletely defeated in four pitched battles, at Moodkee, Ferozeshahur, Aleewal, and Hurreekee, with the loss of 223 pieces of cannon. The Lieutenant-Governor trusts that the people of Hindoostan, confident in the peace and security which are thus ensured to them, will continue to devote them selves to those industrious pursuits, whereby their hap piness and prosperity cannot fail to be advanced.

The following letter from our correspondent in the Deccan was unfortunately written before the latest in. telligence from Lahore had reached him. It contains, however, such just views upon Indian politics as will well repay perusal : CAME, NEAR KOLKOOR. It is needless for me to give you detai:s of the splendid victory at Sobraon. You will have read in the Governor- General's order, and in Sir H. G ow'i dispatch, how with immense loss the Seikhs were driven from their formidable entrenchment, constructed on the most scientific European principles by their Spanish engineer, how our noble troops, European and native alike, carried t h ese w i t h out a check, and how, pushing the disordered masses be fore them on to their narrow bridge and into the hardly fordable river, thousands perished there from the fire of our artillery, and were drowned in the deep waters. This news will be received with the enthusiasm it de serves ; it was, indeed, a noble achievement ; we h ave fought no such battles in India as those with the Seikhs —we have never been so nearly matched, either in mi litary science or bravery in the field ; but, under the aid of Divine providence, their invasion has been hurled back with mighty power, and we are now in our turn invaders of the Punjaub. The force followed immediately after the battle, and is now concentrated at Kussoor, if it be not, as I trust to hear, advanced to Lahore ere this. We have in our possession 220 pieces of their best and most serviceable field artillery, and though the arsenal of Lahore was said to contain 400 pieces, there seems to have been no effort made at Lahore to send out any reinforcement of this arm, the applications from Runjoor Singh and others being tauntingly answered, that their forces had better seek their old ones where they lost them. Colonel Wheeler was to have crossed near Phulloor ; indeed it is reported that he had taken possession of that place without opposition, the disorganised Seikh army having fled at once without offering any opposition. So far, therefore, our operations have been a splendid succession of victories ; the vaunted prowess of the Khalsa army has been signally broken. Never has any war been prosecuted with greater vigour or bra very. There were murmurs at delay, but it has been well proved by the event that any attack upon the po sition of Sobraon without heavy artillery would have been dangerous ; and any check of our army would have had a baneful efftct throughout India. If the Governor- General, holding with firm expectation to a peaceful line of policy in the first instance, omitted provision against the coming storm, we have seen how energetically, how fearlessly, how amply he has since carried on the war. No stint of troops, no stint of money, or supplies, or ma terial is apparent. As a great and final effort should to made, so has this been carried out, and has won for him and his gallant companion in arms imperishable renown. Nor, on reflection, would I have seen any other line of policy pursued. Confident in his own resources, the Seikhs were allowed to advance by the Governor-General; their long doubted intentions thus plainly put to the proof, unprovoked by any preparation or demonstration on the part of the Government of India. The most pre judiced party-writer cannot advance as a position of reprehension that this invasion and war were brought about by any threatenings, any obvicus desire of conquest. We should have had a Punjaub war under Lord Ellenborougb, had he remained, long ere this, but it would have been one open, and justly open, to cavil. Some strange demand woulci have driven the over-confi dent Seikhs to offensive operations, even if we bad not taken the initiative, and it may be questioned whether our actions and conduct of the war would have come up to the present standard. Our men would have displayed the same gallantry, but the director lif all, the practical experience of an old and tried general, uniting with military skill profound political knowledge, would have been wanting. No, the war has come well as it is, and in the unprovoked aggression there is ample reason and necessity for those stringent terms which will be eventually dictated, and which the Governor. Gene ral's prcclamation from Kussoor shadows forth. Like his previous ones, this is a straightforward, manly, unmis takable document, and reads almost more explicitly in Persian than in English. In the flush of recent victory, there is no boast of success beyond the simple notifica tion that the Seikh army has been defeated and expelled from the left bank of the Sutlej. The Governor-General, following his previous proclamation, again reiterates that these operations have been " forced upon him " for' the protection of the British possessions and for the punishment of the violators of public peace and solemn treaties ; and again, that by the war the British Govern ment had no desire of territorial acquisition—that no preparation for hostility was made that the sincere desire of the British Government was to see a strong Seikh Government established, that the conduct of the Government and the army had rendered these desires fertile, and that whatever now befals both will be the conse quences of their own misdeeds. These positions are in controvertible either here or in England, and it will be satisfactory to our Government to proclaim them to the world in defiance of misrepresentation of motives. Whatever aggressive character our previous Indian con quests may have had, and alas! they are neither few nor unimportant, this stands alone in its integrity of purpose from first to last. But with the foregoing it is explicitly set forth that for indemnity for the past and security for the future, the British Government will retain a portion of the territory of the Lahore state ; and for the present the portion is contingent upon the conduct of the durbar. The country between the Sutlej and the Beeas, embrac ing the hill district to the south and east of Simla, is at once taken as a part of the indemnity. What the other districts intended to be taken are is not known, but it is most probable they may be Moultan, the more espe cially if, as it is stated, the authorities are favourable. Cashmere may be considered too distant without the dis tricts between the Sutlej and the Beeas afford a road to it, and this hardly appears practicable by the map. Again, with a solemn and impressive warning as to the autthbeer Seikhiauthor i ty ef Go vernmenttthe consequences of further opposition, does the Governor- General summon snbintihte themselves e and lve s officers to British Government, and to enable the Governor-General to organise a Seikh Government in t he person of a de scendant of the late Maharaja. I hope we are not to have a subsidiary treaty. There are able men enough the of among the Seikhs to form a s t rong Government an d an independent one, and I would far rather see an inde pendent one, which should have some care for a n d pride in itself, than one of those effete , miserable thin gs ca ll ed Governm en t at all, Governments, such as at Hyderabad, and whi c h are the inevitable result of this system. By establi s hi ng such a Government, we should deprive the Seikh s of their ability to servo as allies, weaken the north- west frontier, and find ourselves engaged with border tr ib es and in e q e u r a v r e r e i l ln s between e e t n h d i s G in o s v t e r r e n n m g e t : e t e a i nng the s w i ld Government d it neigh bours, feudatories, &c., which would weaken us, a n d had c s o e r t d u i a p li y hopelf there i t m is ay to be be an a independent then, I Nepaul is able to protect itself, to h e lp us ifn , e one, as and to manage its own affairs without our intertne e d a ' d s l a n rY g' If this cannot be brought about I would rather see the whole made a British possession, at whatever present inconvenience; we cannot now stand upon trifling con siderations ; the protection and security of our whole frontier are at stake. I say again, I hope there may be no subsidiary force. We should require one of 30,000 men at least, the veterans of the army and 10,000 Europeans to be a portion of it. You do not seem at present able t o spare us any more, but you must ere long, Our present European force will hold the country against all odds but we must have more to fill up the places th ey have left vacant all over India. Sir Henry Hardirtn.e h as provided for the sapply of the native army, and '' I have not the le ast doubt has laid before your Government his want of European troops. Even the mere casualties have thinned their numbers fearfully, e. g., of the 50th, 450 men and officers have been killed, wounded, a n d disabled, out of 650, and other corps in proportion. The Governor-General recognises the probable ex istence of a Seikh army, as a matter of course, only as an appendage to a regular and independent Governmext. The mere mention of the army gives me more hope of an independent, though circumscribed, government, than any other part of the proclamation. Uhler a Str ong adn SALES BY AUCTION MESSRS.

THE RESIDENCE IS ONE OF COMFORT, and was formerly the abode of JOHN OVE 'rND, ESQ., THE WEALT Y BANKER, OF LONDON, The situation will be irresistible in provoking a little outlay to complete that which the late possessor so ably projected. Without being too cumbersome or expensive, the Residence combines all that a family of great respectability can desire, kitchen gardens and orchards. Should the purchaser of the Estate desire to reside, and FORM A PLEASURE FARM. there is an abundance of field sports, ant lots of fishing; and the cele brated Llangibby Hounds hunt t ,e immediate nelahbourhood. A BRANCH OF THE SOUTH WALES RAILWAY, now making, is within half a mile. There are Two highly-cultivated Farms, with comfortable abode, which adjoins the residence, and all necessary buildings, two warm and sheltered yards for stock, and a good tenant (Mr. Joseph Neale) at a very inadequate rent for four years yet to come. THE QUALITY OF THE SOIL . . is of acknowledged excellence. The pastures so rich as to fatten bullocks and sheep for the London market, and the land exuberant beyond measure. LIME AND COAL CLOSE AT HAND IN GREAT ABUNDANCE ; and the market towns approximating, render a sure and advan tageous vent for the produce of the land.

Will the new army be a contingent, as at Gwalior and Hyderabad ? Per haps so. It is more likely than a subsidiary force ; but greatly open to the same objections as one. Finally, if further opposition is experienced, the Government of India wilt make such other arrangementF for the future government of the country as the interests of the British power may render just and expedient ; which means, that the British Government will take the Punjaub and govern it after its own fashion. The Seal, army may be disordered and weakened, but it will take much to break the fanatical zeal of the Seikhs, and there are many of the Sirdars who will share this feel ing with them. It is perhaps the only national feeling which has been encountered in India. Among the Rajpoots of particular tribes there have appeared traces of national feeling, but the tribes are too di vided and too limited in power to have rendered such e feeling a principle of action. No man that ever I heard of took pride in saying that he was a Mahratta, or that he was a Nizam's subject or one of Oude or Gwalior. Attachment to a Government, as the head of a people has been a rare thing in India ; but here we hay. attachment by a fanatical people to a Government, and its head, which, in Runjeet Sjngh, was a splendid realisation of power. We know that the Khalsa army, containing few mercenaries, is essentially a national one, and is identified with the Government in feel ing, sect, prejudice, and ambition. Therefore I think that we may see the Seikh Government, under the power of Ghoolab Singh and the dread of our presence, accept any terms dictated; but that the army will not give in until routed again and again, or taking at once to those strong fortified places in the country, which they can hold in desperation, and which it will cost us many valuable lives and much treasure to reduce. - There are, however, no means of solving this puzzle. Nothing can be plainer, nothing more earnest, con sistently with proper - dignity, than Sir Henry Hardinge's invitation to all clasces, and if the well disposed to the state do not see at once that the only chance of preserving a national Government is to aid the Governor-General and the few chiefs who may have followed Gholab Singh, they will assuredly plunge into irretrievable ruin, and entail upon us another year's campaign for the perf ct reduction of the whole country. It must be a great matter of uncertainty at present which way the tide may turn ; and the Governor- General may await the issue of his proclamation at Kussoor, or, as is more probable, push on with force to Lahore, to dictate his terms to the country and the people of the capital. There he is sure of the co-opera tion of Ghoolab Singh and his hill troops. This able man will not neglect his own interests, and he will see 1 them to be identical with British supremacy. His family have suffered too deeply from the Khalsas to render him insincere. From the period of his arrival at Lahore, though he brought money and supplies with him, and to preserve appearances d ec l a r e d th e y s ho u ld be laced at the disposal of the army, he has, so far as we know, given nothing, but has strongly advised peace, or temporised with the requests of the Punches, till he could be assured of the actual presence in the Punjaub of the British army. This having immmediately followed the last battle he made at once to the Governor-General's camp, to arrange, in conjunction with him, the future settle ment of tie Government. It is not probable, I think, that there will be resistance at Lahore. Gholab Singh's army was the only efficient or fresh one •, that he will control. Under the consternation which must prevail, neither Lall Singh nor the Ranee would be able to collect troops enough to make a stand, and the Governor-General's proclamation will have a mighty effect, backed as it is by a victorious army. I therefore look with confidence to hear of the speedy oc enpation of Lahore, and that, and the negotiations which will follow, will, be subjects of the highest possible in terest, far more so politically than the actions of the war, however brilliant. It will be greatly to be regretted should the Governor- General be embarrassed by any home . politics. Of these Ido not presume to treat. America may per haps take a higher tone on the Oregon question on hearing of this war, and this appears to be the only chance of embarrassment ; but we may fairly hope not, and in any case I should hope that the two questions would not be mixed up together. We have fought here for a political supremacy, which was threa tened by an invasion of our territory, and the measures which have resulted from it must be considered distinct from any European course of political events. There is no alternative whatever, to my perception. As before, I again repeat that India is profoundly tranquil. No power in it dare, with the example of the Punjaub before it, to provoke chastisement. Rumours have been industriously spread of our defeat, of the capture of the Seikh guns being idle fabrications, that they were wooden or leather ones, placed so as to decoy our troops into the mines laid, &e. All these ab surd stories, however, are dispersed by the stern truth of the several defeats, and the invasion of the Punjaub, and will be repeated no more. A full sense of the past power of the British Indian Government ; if not fully felt before, will now prove an irresistible conviction, and with the close of this war we may hope for a long and glorious peace for our eastern possessions. Sinde, too, is tranquil ; no rise even among the hill tribes has followed the march of the army of the Lower Sutlej ; and though Sir C. Napier has gone on to join the Governor. General, his name will live behind him, and will insure quiet. Few will be so bold as to provoke his fiery wrath or indomitable spirit. It will chafe him that he is too late for the great battles ; but he may yet have his share, if the Seikh forces do not render un conditional submission. Where the army of the Lower Suilej is to go, or what it is to do, does not yet appear ; it will probably occupy the lower part of Punjaub, and :f there be truth in the report of the submission of Moulton, will very probably proceed thither at once. Moultan pays 3i lacs of rupees a-month to the Lahore Government, and this would go a good way to supply the indemnity for the war, which I very truly hope may a complete one. In the Deccan I have nothing particular to inform yogi of. I am much afraid that we shall have another season of cholera, as that dire scourge has already shwn itself in many parts. May God, in His mercy, avert its further spread, for it is very fearful; there is no refuge from it, and the country people hare no remedies agiitrht it. Distress is severely felt in the central dis tricts and in Khandcish, and for this there is no alleviation. I hear nothing from Hyderabad but the distresses of the Government ; already is the Nizam in debt 22 lacs for the payment of the contingent, and there appears no exertion made either to provide regular payments or to discharge debts. The Nizam calls for one quack contriver of remedies after aniother, and looks keenly after mulcts, fines, nuz zerana, and other extra sources of revenue, which are as uncertain as unjust, neglecting, of course, the country and the people, from whom he can derive any certain funds. An amusing, or rather an ember missing council, took place not long ago, the collectors on Julookhd ars b e i ng summone to provide for the 22 lacs of debt, and to make further advances. As the revenue of every district is forestalled, not only wis every present demand impossible of satisfaction, but it was urgently represented that as the advances ha,d been made from private funds, they should be pit in train of adjustment ! The Government is now without credit, and without management ; and how it contrives at all, is surprising. It seems e*ceedingly probable that as soon as the I'unj9.ub affair is. settled the management of this state may occupy the at tion of the Governor-General, its troops and expenses b reduced to a footing commensurate with its resources, t i n avid, as at Gwalior, districts in satisfaction of the pay of the contingent and other demands made over to the care of the Resident, and to the superintendence of British officers. But it is, in homely phrase, in a sad mess altogether, and if one state more than another exhibit the political demoralization of the subsidiary system, it is this. In Bengal a new railway plan has been started, which seems powerfully supported, end is likely to be com . trlenced forthwith We are all anxiously expecting the ports on the great lines, an d I s i ncere l y trust there r 4 ay be beginnings made next cold season.—Times. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. (From the Bombay Times, March 16.) In reference to the grounding of the frigate Fox, in t!)e Persian Gulf, we have received the following from a correspondent:--" IO your paper of the 18th inst., I ob serve a notice of the Fox frigate having gone ashore on a reef near Karrack in the Persian Gulf, 'said to have been erroneously laid down in the maps.' As it is of the atmost importance that it should be ascertained how fir the Government Chart of this sea is to be C.epended upon, I would beg to suggest through t e medium o f your j ournal, that measures 11 e adopted to effect this object with as little clay as possible. From my own experience, I am able tp point out two considerable errors in the said chart, viz. the direction of the coast for eight or ten miles west- Ward from Linger, which is laid down several points out of its true bearings, and the form and the extent of the sand bank lying to the youth-west of Kishme. To this I must add, that I have heard Captain Gray, of the Endymion; Mate that part of his voyage in the Persian Gulf was formed over a tract laid down in the chart as part of the southern coast of Persia." The repairs of this vessel have been completed in such a way, under the able super intendence of Commodore Sir IL Blackwood, that she is pronounced to be almost in as good a condition as when first launched. She will shortly be hauled out of dock. The following. report of the. Bombay Caubul Relief Fund has been publi.hed since our last;—" The committee of the Caubul Relief Fund at Bombay publish for general information a statement of the receipts and disburse ments of the Fund, exhibiting a balance up to the Ist of Feb. bf rs. 48, 412, and 3 annas. The Rev. Mr. Wolff, having returned to England without proceeding to Aff ghanistan, the sum placed at his disposal, 10,000 rs., bas been returned to the committee. Lieut.-Col. Shiel, M. M.'s Charge d'Affaires at the Court of Persia, has been empowered by the committee to employ a native agent, at an expense..not exceeding 4,000 rupees, for the purpose of endeavourirg to effect tha release cf any British subjects who may be in captivity at Caubul or in the adjacent countries. The Honourable • the Governor In Council has kindly permitted the Resident At Bushire 'n cash Colonel Shiel's bills to the shoe() amount. rile committee purpose purchasing an annuity of 30/. per annum for the lady whose father wcs Killed at Catibul, for the purpose of which 7,000 ru pees will probably be required, thus leaving an unappro miated balance of about 32,412 rupees." The following melancholy account of the death of an officer, his lady, and from cholera, has been published by the Mad ras U. S I . Gazette :—" It is with much pain we •announce the decease, by cholera, at Secunderabad, cn the 18th instant, of Brevet Captain Thomas Osborne, of the 40th N.L, and his lady, both of whom fell victims to this fatal epidemic on the same day, having on the preced ing one lost their infant child. Since the above was in type the following particulars have reached us in a let ter from Secunderabad :---‘ Lieutenant Osborne, of the toth NJ., which corps is now a stage or two distant rrom Secunderabad, having lost one of his children by teething, came on to the cantonment with the corpse to have it buried, leaving his family in camp.

" The f o ll ow i ng extract, in reference o " Railways in India," is taken f rom t h e report of le Bombay Chamb er,o f C ommerce, for the first quarter .if 1845-46 :—"ln ac cor d ance w i th the resolution passed it the annual general meeting of th e 7 t h o f October, 1845, the proceedings at which were g i ven i n the last report, your committee, in the begi nn i ng o f t h e follow ing month, addressed a letter to the secretary t o th e Government of India, with the Right Honourabl e th e Governor-General, expressing the views of the Chamber in reference to the introduction of railway communi- Ation, and claiming for the Presidency of Bombay an -- equitable- participation in the advantages which the ,upport and assistance of Government to w ard s th e es tablishment of the new system of i n t e r c o urse , were cal eflated to confer.

I n t h e present state of political aff a i rs , i t wou ld b e too much, perhaps, to look for any very clo se a tt ent i on on the part of the Head )f Governme n t, to su bj ects of th i s nature ; but as soon as matters assume a more f avoura bl e posture, they have little doubt th a t th e i r memorial will receive due consi deration at his E xc ell ency ' s h ands. Railways have so er e buried seized by important 'a bearing upon the interests of trade, and ;eem likely, if introduced, to contribute so largely to its promotion in Western India, that your committee, as a conimercial body, naturally feel a warm concern in the successful progress of the intended improvement, and tre anxious to obtain an official recognition of the opinions they have ventured to express, satisfied, as they arc, that their views are based upeu reasonable grounds, in believing them, likewise, to be shared by a large section of the community." And from the same report we quote the following regarding the exportation to England of an experimental consignment of wheat, made by 1)r. Burn, superintendent of Government cotton ex periments at Broach, in the Bombay Presidency:— " Your committee have received from Government copy of a communication from Dr. Burn, dated the 11th Oc tober last, relative to the experimental consignment of wheat per ship Osprey, regarding which such frequent notices have been contained in former reports. It will be recollected that owing to the presence of small stones, dirt, and other impurities, and the existence of a peculiar earthy flavour, in the above wheat, it was declared by competent judges at home to be unfit for bread pur ___ poses; and that the Honourable the Court of Directors, in referring to this somewhat discouraging opinion, sug gested that Dr. Burn should be called on to report as to whether these objections could be removed, in which case a further trial was to be authorised. The letter under notice discusses and decides the point in question. Dr. Burn states that he has no doubt the objections may be obviated, by having the grain properly threshed and winnowed prior to shipment, instead of being trodden out by oxen upon clay floors,' as was the case—from unavoidable causes—with the consignment sent home per Ospray. Fine bread, he observes, is made in Bombay from Guzerat wheat, and there can be no doubt that the article might be put to similar use at home; and if it were properly attended to here pre vious to shipment, it might, he thinks, "reach England quite free from dirt and unpleasant flavour, or injury of any kind whatever." Entertaining this opinion, Dr. Burn is of course anxious that a further experiment should be made, but instead of ginning the wheat, as on the last occasion, he suggests that it should be pur chased in one of the local markets ; and he is likewise of opinion that the recommendation of the brokers, Messrs. Lyon and Fynney, to ship it in bulk, and by a fast vessel, should bo adopted. The circumstance of the wheat per Ospray having escaped damage from weevils, is noticed as a subject of gratulation, and your com mittee decidedly concur with Dr. Burn that the satis factory solution of the problem whether Indian wheat can be sent home without suffering from the attacks of these destructive insects, is a matter of no light import ance in a commercial point of view. In transmitting the copy of Dr. Burn's letter, it was observed by Mr. Secretary Townsend, that if the Chamber, or any member of it, would undertake a small consignment on their own account, it would, in the opinion of Govern ment, be a far more satisfactory test than any experi ment made by officers of Government, who are unskilled in mercantile transactions, and whose whole time is oc cupied with their official duties.' Your committee, however, painted out that the Chamber was precluded, by its rules, from engaging in any speculative transac tion of the nature proposed, although there would be no objection to its undertaking the shipment, as before, on behalf of Government. They hardly thought that in the existing state of affairs any mercantile firm would be disposed to export wheat to England as ass experi ment. Hopes are entertained of the H. C. sloop of war Coote, wrecked some months since on the coast near Calicut, being extricated from her present situation. It is said that the efforts being made to heave her up have been partially successful. The emonnt subscribed in Cal cutta towards the land for the relief of the distressed poor in Ireland has reached the sum of nearly .7,000/.71,000/. of which was collected in the army of the Satlej under the Commander-in-Chief.--The Bmares Bank has ;:de dared a dividend at the rate of ten per cent., and the bank of Agra one of fourteen and a half per cent., on the _capital stock.—A coffee store at Colombo, valued at I,oooi, belonging to a Mr. Davison, has been completely destroyed by fire—believed to have been accidental. The Madras Spect,tor has published the following in reference to the proceedings of the Government of that presidency towards its bank : " We understand that at the annual general meeting of proprietors of the bank of Madras, held yesterday (March 2), a full explanation was given to the assembled proprietary, of recent proceedings in connexion with the existing crisis in the money market, and the means taken to protect the public from a suspension of accommodation by the bank. The course pursued by the directors in a cor respondence with the Government, having for its object to obtain an alteration of the present onerous and most extraordinary practice of sending all the bank-notes that find their way inte the general treasury fur imme diate exchange into specie, met with unanimous ap proval, as did also the steps taken by the Directors to endea! our to meet the scarcity of money." Lord El phinstone, formerly Governor of Madras, arrived in Delhi on. the 2d March, and has put up with the agent to the Lieutenant-Governor. The 14th Dragoons reached Agra or the 27th February, and left for Meerut on the 4th March. The important measures have just been sanctioned at the India House. It has been determined that a statistical department, to collect, arrange, metho dise, and abrid ge th e enormous mass of invaluable statis tical documents reposing in its archives, shall be esta blished. It has also been agreed that a Gazetteer of India, in six volumes, shall be published. Mr. Thornton, already well known for his historical writings in refe rence to India, has been appointed editor ; and that no labour or expense may be spared, the Court is to ad wince the sum of one thousand pounds on each volume. The resolution in favour of each of these measures was curried by very large majorities. GENERAL ORDERS, BY BIS EXCELLENCY THE COMMANDER-IN CHIEF. He ad-quarters,l3OnibTlT,llll,lii6.

(131) The Commander-in-Chief directs the publica tion to the army of the following general orders, which his Excellency has caused to be issued to the army of the Sutlej (Dated 10th of February, 1846.) His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief - has the gra tification, for the fourth time, of congratulating the gal lant army of the Sutlej on the attainment of victory. Glorious as the three preceding victories have been, they fall short of the signal triumph obtained this day in the capture by storm of the enemy's strongly entrenched position of Sobraon. The Commander-in-Chief feels that he cannot do justice to the noble daring of the troops on this occasion. , The enemy's position, defended by masses of the elite of his infantry, and a numerous and welt-served artillery, which our guns had not succeeded in silencing, though admirably directed, was carried at every point. Nothing could withstand the ardour of our troops, or the devoted heroism with which they threw themselves on the enemy's works. To the officers commanding divisions, brigades, and regiments of each and every branch of the service, artil lery, cavalry, and infantry; to the gallant officers and men under their command ; to the officers of the general staff of every depirtment, and those of the personal staff, the Commander-in-Chief offers the tribute of his highest admiration of their conduct, and his most cor dial thanks for the able assistance they have ever afforded him in the discharge of their various important duties.
