LON DON, T ILTESDAY C 7 V ^ 10 0 -"? „ SALES BY AUCTION. MR. W. W. SIMPSON invites the attention of Capitalists to the statements contained in the following Advertisements, relating to the past, present, and prospective per manency of Rentals and the value of Laud, confirming, as they do, the predictions which he ventured to make last April, in a speech at Norwich, iu which he observed. that " although he had been a thorough-going Protectionist, he was proud to say, that sliding and all other scales had fallen from his eyes ;—that it was his firm and honest conviction, that Rents which had been set on fair and liberal principles within the last seven years would be permanent ; that the year's purchase on such Rentals had risen within the last six months, and in all probability would continue to rise ; and that in adopting free trade measures, Sir Robert Peel had proved himself to be one of the most talented, far-sighted, and fearlessly honest Ministers that had ever lived in the tide of time." The present circumstances of the country, from a general scarcity of food throughout Europe, fully justify the opinion here expressed of the eminent talents and courage displayed by Sir Robert Peel. it is stated by the most com petent judges that if his wise measures of free trade had not been carried out, the prices of Corn and produce would have risen to a famine height. Mr. Simpson has also been assured by the most re spectable salesmen in Smithfield Market, that if it had not been for the alteration of the Tariff, the price of Meat would long since have risen to one shilling per pound, and even now the general impression is, that before next harvest the prices of provisions will reach a height beyond what would be conducive to the general prosperity of the country. Mr. Simpson, in conclusion, cannot refrain from al luding to the opinion of that eminent man, the late Slr Charles We therell, on the subject. A high Tory and firm Protectionist, the fears lie entertained as to the probable results of the Repeal of the Corn Laws induced him to determine on selling his landed property, but his better judgment prevailed, and he not only retained pos session of it, but was in the course of making further investments when he met his lamentable fate. THE PROTECTIONISTS -- WHERE ARE THEY? WHERE ARE NOW YOUR PROPHETS WHO PROPHESIED UNTO YOU ? NORTHAMPTONSHIRE. I Within TWO MILES of the WELLINGROROUFI STATION, ex ceedingly VAVAALE ESTATE, consisting of 4GB ACRES of very excellent ARABLE, MEADOW, DAIRY, and GRAZING LAND, lying within a RING FENCR, MR. W. W. S IMPSON has received instructions from the Trustees of the late John Christie, Esq., to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on TUESDAY, November 01, at Twelve o'clock, - An exceedingly valuable FREEHOLD and COPYHOLD ESTATE, eligibly situate in the parishes of Irchester and Wymington, within three miles of the capital market town of Wellingborough, and two miles only from the railway station, which is within about half an hour's transit by railway to the important town of Northampton. It comprises a farmhouse and suitable agricultural buildings, toge ther with 304 acres of land, including 237 acres of arable, generally of easy tillage and deep staple, much the larger surface of which, under proper cultivation, adapts itself to the turnip and barley course of husbandry ; and the entire arable surface of the estate is grateful, and In fair average seasons yields abundantly in corn, leguminous, and green crops in all their varieties. The meadow Pn d pasture lands are to a considerable extent of good feeding and dairy quality ; still they are, however, susceptible of improvements relating to draining, &c., which, if carried out, would increase their present pro ductiveness ; the same observation will apply to' certain portions of the arable surface of the estate. As it would not be prudent for tenants of uncertain tenure to incur this expenditure, the following clause is inserted in the agreements:—" In addition to the rent, the tenants are to pay six per cent. on the outlay of the landlord for drainage,which drainage the landlord is to do according.to a specifica tion to be agreed upon between the tenants and Mr. W. W. Gardner, the agent to the vendors." The above farm is in the occupation of Mr. James Mather, yearly tenant, who renewed his agreement at Michaelmas, 1845, at a rent of 5821. 10s. per annum. Mr. Mather and his family have been located on the estate for nearly a century. Mr. Mather is not only wealthy, but of excellent character ; a first class cultivator and manager generally; he stocks highly, and, at the present period has a flock of GOO sheep, between the Leicester and Down, superior in regard to frame and quality of woel. Also a desirable Farm adjoining, with farm-house and agricultural build ings, and about 138 Acres of deep surfaced and exceedingly produc tive arable land, including a small field of pasture, in the occupation of Miss Elizabeth Frost, a highly respectable yearly tenant, from Michaelmas, 1845, at a rent of 2201. per annum. The family of Miss Frost have been tenants on this estate upwards of 40 years. The arable surface partakes very much of the same description and qua lity as Mr. Mather's occupation, with the exception that there is not quite so large a proportion kindly to the turnip course; still there are very few fields on the entire estate where turnips are not grown and folded off. Also about 24 acres of excellent arable land, called Avenue Close, in the occupation of the Rev. Charles Partridge, vicar, tenant from year to year, at a rent of 471. 10s. per annum, for the purpose of being let to labourers as allotments. The copy hold por tion of the above property is in the parish of Irchester, and pays an annual quit-rent of 31. 16s. 3d., and a fine of the like amount on alienation or death, to the lord of the manor of Irchester : it " is, therefore. equal in value to freehold. The apportio ne d " " . ie rent-charge on the whole estate amounts to 61. 14s. 3d. only, and which is paid by the tenants, therefore it may be considered virtually tithe rent-charge free. In respect to the permanency of the rentals Mr. Simpson refers to that best test, namely the character of the tenants, who have so re cently taken their occupation at the present rents, added to the de sire expressed by them to be continded on their farms in the event of the estate being sold. Mr. Simpson having made a most minute survey, field by field, and careful estimate of the property, fearlessly asserts it is one of the most desirable estates for occupation and the secure investment of capital he has seen in the course of his ex tensive experience. The property may he viewed, and particulars (with plans annexed) may now be obtained of Mr. 'William Henry Cotterill, solicitor, 32, Throgmorton-street, City ; of George Burnham, Esq , solicitor, Wellingborough ; of Mr. W. W. Gardner, Biggleswade ; and of Mr. W. W. Simpson, 18, Bucklersbury, London.

SIR CHARLES * N, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Early in September the Indian mail brought an account of the dreadful ravages of the cholera at Kur rachee, and, at the same time, statements of the un shrinking dev o ti on w i th which Sir Charles Napier at tended the sick and the dying. Even the' Bombay Times was forced, by the notoriety of the fact, to admit it into its columns. But still true to itself—" Natura furca expellas, tamen usque recurrer—followed up the ad mission by one of its usual attempts to cast obloquy on Sir Charles Napier, alleging that he falsified the revenue accounts, and, by means of such falsification, got his own salary raised from 7,0001. to 9,000/. a year —" that the poor, unresisting, overtaxed Hindoo" is made to provide the means for supplying his wasteful expen diture in Sinde, while he, and a few persons under him, are filling their pockets at the public expense—" that most of the revenue is collected in grain, to enhance its apparent value ; this is sold at an excessive price to the contractors, and purchased from them at a charge of coarse equally excessive by the c o m m i ssa ri a t, so t h at India, ia fact, pay s d ou bl y a portion of the netted in come of which Sinde pretends to boast."* Some of these accusations are taken from the letter of an "eminent political authority at home." Now I simply disbelieve the assertion that any " eminent political lia thority" has written the alleged letter. I publicly defy the Bombay Times to publish this letter, with the name of the authority ; and I defy this " eminent political authority," if any such there be, to come' forward, in his own name, to make those statements, and pledge h lw " eminent political" character to the proof of them. The next mail, which arrived soon after, announced the death by cholera of Capt. John Napier, one of the General's nephews, causing deep affliction to a large family. Capt. Napier's child also perished two days before himself, and though this was not publicly known, Sir Charles Napier's attention to the sick, and the death of my nephew were known, having been prominently stated in several newspapers ; in fact, for many days we heard of the dead and the living at that painful period only through the newspapers. This was the time chosen by twa East Indian proprietors—Messrs. Sullivan and George Thompson (and by the chairman's remarks it would seem chosen somewhat out of the usual course) — for adding to affliction for the death of the young as much bitterness as their malignant aspersions could inflict on the family and friends of an absent man, of whom they had just learned this—that neither age, nor exhausting toil, nor gathering dangers, nor broken health, nor the greatness of the public calamity, nor the stings of private sorrow could make his heart falter or his spirit slacken in the performance of his duty. At the time this took place I was on a long journey in the north of England, and could not for many days get ac curate accounts of what passed, or the documents neces sary for a reply. Now I am in a great measure pre cluded (by the letters which my brother, Capt. henry N'apier, immediately published in the Times and the Morning Herald) from expressing my sentiments tis fully as I should hare otherwise done, though I shall take this opportunity of declaring my full assent to all he has written. There are, however, some points he was not quite aware of, or which the promptness of his reply caused him to overlook. These I will supply, and add some further information about Sir Charles Napier and his traducers. I cannot expect that you should print, or your readers examine a long and particular answer to ail the vague generalities, the suppre:sions or perversions of docu• evidence, and the baseless assert i ons which he and his coadjutor, Mr. Th ompson, treat serve in " t a r s Y grouting to the slender fabric o f M r. Sullivan's oratory ; for the Court of Proprietors as if it were one of those waste here." places over which it is written "Rubbi s h may be shot To do this I must enter on the whole history of the policy and the war in Sinde as unfolded in the Blue Book. I must meet garbled quotations by supplying the wilfully-omitted passages, which would efface his false colouring. I must expose the dishonest inferenCes drawn from detached sentences by long extracts to show that such infererces are wholly at variance with the whole context. In short, I must meet misrepresentations and sophistry by the dull and tedious method of proofs and fair argument—a process that, in such extensive matters, could not be carried out in a publiajournal, and certainly would not be read generally. As I agree with the French writer who said, "Je tiens infinirnent ,s 4 ce qu'on me list," I shall confine my remarks to a few points that may throw some light on the cha racter and conduct of those who thus systematically abuse Sir Charles Napier. Mr. Sullivan accxses him of gross premeditated in justice to the Ameers when he first entered Sinde ; and, like several other persona of about equal candour, founds his charge upon those words in Sir Charles Napier's dispatch of 17th Oct., 1842 :—"I have maintained that that we want only a fair pretext to coerce the Ameers." Now, I aver that no man, with ordinary capacity and common candour, who reads the dispatch, can regard this as anything but an improper —use of the' word " pretext " for just "ground," or some such equivalent expression. Ido not believe that any one of the persons who have harped upon this expression really thought Sir Charles Napier used it in the sense , they have tried to affix to it. 'I cannot ask you to reprint the whole dis patch • I can only beg of you, or an y person s w h o may be willing to enter on the subject, to read the doe.ument itself, in p. 361, No. 379, of the Parliamentary Blue Book, and you will find the w h o l e con t ex t oppelted to, the criminal sentiment Mr. Sullivan and others have tried to establish from. this incorrect expression. Sir Charles had not maintained that he only wanted "a pretext," for he does not use the word in any previous part of the dispatch. This apparent inconsistency in his own letter would suggest to any candid person a re ference to the previous passages and the general context for the true interpretation of the word "pretext." In them he rests our right to enforce or alter the treaties, on the ground of the breach of them by the Ameers ; he further points out the benefits his proposed policy would confer on them and their subjects, while he thought the rigid observance, on our part, of the existing treaties would be impossible, under the state of insecurity that the hostile disposition and the vicious government of the Ameers, together with their repeated breaches of treaty, had produced. Throughout the dispatch he places the right and the justice of coercive measures upon the re peated violations of the treaty by the Ameers ; and the policy of such measures upon the benefits that would in time accrue to all parties, and upon the moral certainty, as he believed, that these measures would finally become inevitable, after much intermediate evil. He repeatedly calls Lord Ellenborough's attention to the question, whether the measures proposed were "just," " honest," " humane," " dishonourable," " harsh." He speaks of a "fair pretext," and, however inaccurate these terms Tay be, a "fair pretext" certainly cannot be intended to mean afoul one. Sir Charles Napier showed the dis patch to Colonel Outram, who " concurred in all he had said in the foregoing paragraphs," and gave him fuller local information, in consequence of which he goes more fully into various points. Colonel Outram also made written remarks (p. 368, Blue Book) on the dispatch, and the whole were sent to Lord Ellenborough. Neither by spoken nor written words does Colonel Outram ap pear to have objected to this ill-chosen term, or to have suspected that it could be perverted as it has been. If there were any s h a d ow of foundation for that interpre tation, Colonel Outram is as guilty as Sir Charles Napier. Furthe r , Si r C harles ' s folly must have b een as daring as hi s i mmora li ty. He knew Lord Ellenborough only as Govern or -G eneral (he has not to th i s d ay seen him), yet he scrupled not, according to the interpreta tion of Mr. Sullivan and others, at once to declare to him that he was only seeking for a pretext to commit injustice. He broadly proclaims his own iniquitous de signs to all the authorities he was serving under —to the Governor-General, to tho East India Directors, and the i r of interpretation the dispatch, Ministers of th e C rown — and he confidently addresses Lord Ellenboro ug h, as i f sure of his ready acquiescence and participati on i n t h e i niquity. Such are the absurdi ties_ e l m e . contest T he ties into which th e h ea d long malice of his traducers with have y i w s it i h ne th om e suppo sitionpatible that Sir Charl es N apier had common sense, or caution, or regard for hi s character or an • belief that Lord Ellenborough and Colon e l Outram could possibly possess sufficient integrity or self-respect, or even pru dence, to object to becoming accomplices in his infamous plans. In this instance (as in several others) Sir Charles Napier made a mistake in composition, and it has been caught at, not for criticism or ridicule, but to be used as a false witness against his humanity, justice, and honour. If he erred in language, they , have sinn e d i n morals; but it is better to break Priscian s head than the ninth com mandment. Mr. Sullivan, alcording to the reports in The Sun and the Morning Herald, says that Sir Charles Napier " had acted diametrically opposite to the orders received from the Governor-General, but prize -money to the amount of 60,0001., a goverdership of 10,0001, a year, the colo nelcy of a regiment, the insignia of the Bath, and a peerage, were fearful incentives to a monstrous ini qu i ty. " "his proceedin • In the Times the words are,proceedings were in many instances in direct opposition to the G overnor- General's instructions, and the catastrophe was brow };L about by his abuse of plenary instructions. Prize moey to the extent of 50,000/., a governorship of 10,0001. a year, Bath, the th anks of this insignia of the a reg iment, the Company and of Parliament, and a peera ge i n prospect, these were fearful temptations to hold o u t to a mall in such circumstances. Whatever were the actual words used by m r, Sulli van, there can be no doubt that the above rep orts do, unequivocally, impute mos t • 1 w ic ked in substance, and S .

I de not find that he corrected these alleged erroneous reports, when they appeared, as he was bound, in justice to himself and Sir Charles Napier, to have done. And lastly, in his speech* on the case of the Arneers, at a special Court in January, 1844, I find by the following instance how little credit is due to Mr. Sullivan's fairness or accuracy. In page 73 of that pamphlet he says— " And we find, by a letter of the Gallant General, of the 30th of the same month (October) that they (the Ameers) were apprised of the Governor-General's inten tions, and that it was only with a view to resist the meditated encroachments of the English, and under the alarm caused by our formidable military preparations, to coerce them, that th ey b egan to ma k e preparations for defence, that their measures and preparations were then, by the Gallant Generals o wn a d m i ss i on , merely defen sive.' " Now, Sir, there is no letter at all from Sir Charles Napier of that date, and there is no letter to the above purport of any date from Sir Charles Napier, in the Parliamentary Blue Book, nor (as I am assured by a person on whose accuracy I can rely) in the Blue Book pub lished by the directors, but which I have not here. The "intelligence" from 30th October to November 6th begins with the following sentence :—" I note the daily intelligence I have received during the last week as dis playing the temper of the chiefs, under the alarm caused by the suspicious appearance of troops delaying here ; all their measures and preparations, however, are merely defensive, and will lead to nothing offensive, I con sider.'—B. 8., p. 433. The substance, and some of the very words of this sentence, are attribnted to Sire. Napier r by Me, Sullivan, who founds an argument against. him upon them, while the sentence is really written by Colonel Outram to express his own opinion, and his name is signed to the document. Further, Mr. Sullivan, who professes to be minutely acquainted with the documents, must have known that Sir Charles Napier's opinion, through nearly the whole period, was opposed to Colonel Outram's on the question of the Ameers' hostile inten tions, and this knowledge alone should have checked him, when speaking, and when preparing for publication the passage I have cited, and should have caused him to re-examine accurately such an improbable statement. But in this, as in other instances, the object in view was not truth and justice but matter for inve c ti ve aga i nst Sir Charles Napier. In p. 75 of the same speech Mr. Sullivan says— "l now come to notice the first important omis sion in this collection of papers (the Blue Book) Major Outram, in reporting to the gallant General, the attack upon his camp, sayst —‘ My dispatches of the last few days will have led you to expect that my earnest endeavours to affect an amicable settlement of Sinde would fail.' Not one of thessakimportant letters are given—most important, for in them the Major must have apprised the General of what was passing day by day in his conferences with the Ameers ; he must have told him that the Ameers were about to sign the treaty—had actually signed the treaty," &c. What can the reader think of Mr. Sullivan's accuracy in assertion, when I tell him that there are in the Blue Book, p. 502, &c. nearly five foli o p ages o f C olonel Outram a notes of his conferences with the Ameers, on the Bth, 9th, 12th, and 13th of February, 1843, relating the very matters alluded to in the above extract from his pamphlet? Will Mr. Sullivan answer that he was speaking of "dispatches and letters," not of "notes?" Can he deny that the s u b s t ance o f the conferences is to be found in these notes, and that the dispatches them• selves must have been framed from them, and that his complaint is therefore substantively false, though literally true? In his late speech, according to the three reports I have seen, he says the Ameers were imprisoned after Sir Charles Napier had given " an assurance" that if they "remained quiet" no harm would come to them—in the Tinges, " a solemn assurance that they should re ceive honourable treatment, and should not be harmed." Where does Mr. Sullivan find such assurance or what proof does he offer of it? Sir Charles Napier promised only to spare their lives, but he performed more. He did use them honourably. He gave back their swords wl:ich he might fairly have kept. He left them in pos session of their palaces and gardens. He allowed their followers and attendants free access to them. He allowed 800 well-armed Beloochees to guard their Zenanas, and he treated them with respect and lenity till he found that they availed themselves of this freedom to carry on a treacherous correspondence with S ft h h e ee r u e baa M trtre a le h y o o m off e H d ay , h w doe h vre o . 2700a0few men , withmiles which i a c h t t h h e e f h o e u ad gh o t abed in less than ten days after. In the Morning Herald I find the opinion of what Mr. Thompson calls " a talented writer in India," and " an authority in India." They are evidently taken from some Indian newspaper, and probably from the Booxbay Thos. ,„..1 believe the Morning Herald admitted this libellous trash into its columns only from the conviction that the grossness of the language and the calumny would recoil on its authors; for assuredly I have no reason to think that that journal entertains any hostile feeling towards Sir Charles Napier. The following are extracts from the opinions of " this authority in India":— " For two years have our columns contained exposures of the dishonesty, recklessness of truth, injustice, and cruelty indulged in by the General who effected the con quest of Sinde." " Colonel Outram has at length come be fore the world, and made an exposure of profligacy and po litical incapacity on the part of Sir Charles Napier which far surpasses aught that has appeared in our co lumns." " Our limits will not permit us to trace all the acts of violence, all the infringements of ratified treaties, all the flagrant breaches of most solemn promises, all the falsehoods, quibbles, and evasions in which Sir Charles Napier indulged, but we implore such of our readers as have not already perused Colonel Outram's work to do so with the utmost care." . . "Its (truth's) beams will in due course of time dissipate the mists which now screen this great bad man from the contempt and indignation of his countrymen." . . . " The Horse Guards may continue to caress the General whom the humblest private sersing under him can taunt with falsehoods; Ministers may throw over him the mantle of their protection; and the nobles of England may deem it no derogation of their honour .to associate and acknowledge their con nexion with a man- convicted of every disqualification fO'r a British officer save cowardice and military unskil fulness; but the moral sense of Britain will, we feel con fident, ere long, assert its claims, and express itself with an energy which will cover with confusion the criminal and his abettors. Melancholy as are the revelations made by Colonel Outram in the first part of his com mentary, they are trivial in comparison with those which the continuation of his book will place before the public. Hitherto the reader has but known Sir Charles Napier as a violent and tyrannical oppressor of the weak and un resisting, and as the reckless promulgator of fictions : it remains for Colonel Outram to exhibit him, and we trust he will not shrink from the duty, as the falsifier of dates in support of charges which he knew to be unfounded ! And yet we shall be told that he is an honourable man, chivalric, and a hero! a fit associate of England's aris tocracy, a credit to the knighthood, worthy of the Duke's regards, and far from a disgrace to that army whose soul is honour, an army that would ignominiously expel from its ranks any humbler man convicted of one of Sir Charles Na.pier's many deliberate departures from truth " w r il l t e o r w s , a In a n d I ptro op re a p g l a y tor t s o o s f u t c h h em ac a c r u e sa s ti om on e s of co th nv e e f y o e u d les i t n , such . language ?

The confle fence the troops under Sir Charles Napier muFic have I; a the truth and opinions of that paper will to appare ' l t from the following statement. In the ,Bombay ' flan.es of 6th May, 1843, an article appeared "eaued " The Ladies of the Ameers' Zenanas ;" and . 43onclud• as • thus, where are they now ?

Tne• officers appealed to Sir Charles Napier fir pro trietion_ to their characters, and for permission to answer the chi , a•ge.

The error is of no moment, ex , 4 jig lowing Mr. Sullivan's inaccuracy. - - but I learn from the Blue Book, that Colonel Outram thought the Ameere "mode of warfare"would be,lshould suppose, laying waste the country, " looting your camels, and cutting Off your foragers: this would be the utmost that they would dare."* Twelve days after he wrote this they fought the battle of Aleeanee with 25,000 men. I learn, too, from the same book, that while Sir Charles' Napier fought and .won that perilous battle, Colonel Outram burned a wood. . . I will now give another instance of the veracity of his assailants. Last year some Indian newspaper stated that he had imposed a transit duty (on merchandise going up the. Indus), and this was copied into many of the English journals. It surprised me at the time, as I knew he had previously abolished that duty, and his pri vate letters constantly expressed an anxious desire to diminish all taxation. Still.this might have been true, and I was not in a position to contradict it, but I wrote to him upon the subject. In the meantime he wrote to another person of his family tlie folloWing words:'—" I only yesterday read a whole colinnn in three newspapers saN mg—' Really the Government must interfere with this man and not allow him to go on in this manner! (besides all sorts of insulting epithets which I forgpt), and for what? for putting on a transit duty and increase ing taxation.' The fellow now finds that his hypocri tical falsehoods are gradually expoSed by facts, and that he cannot go on.' . Well, you would imagine there was something on which an exaggeration was based! Not a bit. I have never pit on a single tax in Sink, good, bad, or indifferent, or revived a single tax that had be come absolete. I have abolished several, and among the rest the transit tax, the very first of all! and by Lord Ellenborough's Orders, who at once levelled that and the slave trade. • The answer toiny letter of inquiry whether' there was any ground whatever for the satement, was in substance as follows :—By the original treaties with the Ameers, provisions and supplies which entered our camp and cantonments were exempted from the duties otherwise payable on such articles. This was necessary to prevent the Ameers froin ruinously raising, by means of high duties, the price of provisions to our troops, or even starving them altogether. After Sinde was taken pos session of this necessity ceased ; but as the revenue was for some time collected according to the existing sys tem, the exemption remained unnoticed till Sir Charles Napier's; attention was drawn to the fact, by observing that new shops and settlers were continually appearing in the cantonments, at once diminishing the revenue, and obtaining an unfair advantage over the shopkeepers in the town and the country round. He determined, therefore, that whatever duties were payable should be paid by all alike. Then (to usehis own words) " a warwhoop was raised against him, as a monster of folly." Various predictions were made of the wrong he was abO'ut to inflict on the troops, and so forth ; but he per sisted, and the result was that the troops got their pro visions at the same price as before (for when the shop keepers in the - cantonments tried to raise their prices, the troops went to the town to buy their goods), and those who had hitherto unfairly escaped the duties and put the amount in their pockets, were now obliged to pay them, like the rest of the people in the town and country. I shall Row make some observations on Col. Outram's conduct towards Sir Charles Napier. He and his friends, above three years after the events passed, have compounded a work (literally a thing of shreds and patches) which we are told is to destroy Sir Charles Napier's character for military skill, policy, truth, humanity, integrity, and justice—even personal timidity is insinuated against him. Col. Outram's opinion, CoL Outram's statement, and Colonel Outram's book seem to be the great mine which supplies, , in the shape of speeches, letters, journals, reviews, and pamphlets, much of the dross and refuse with which his followers have encumbered the public. I do not know whether the whole work is yet published. I have seen only the first part ; and though I have looked at vario us p a s sages of it, I have hitherto been able to examine carefully only fifty pages. I say carefully, for Colonel Outram's skill in the less creditable arts of controversy soon con vinced me that a very careful collation of his quota tions with the original words, with the passages bearing on the question, which he has omitted, or given only in his own language, and of his assertions with the facts as disclosed in the Blue Book, was essentially ne cessary. It is still less practicable here than in Mr. Sullivan's case to enter upon the details of this three years' joint work of Colonel Outram and his friends. I will, how ever, draw out some of the rotten threads with which the web is woven, as it may induce those who are dis posed to read, or review, or draw their facts from Colo nel Outram's work, to sift it fairly and thoroughly before they take it as their text-book. In p. 3, when claiming for himself " a practical and accurate knowledge of the characters of its (Sinde's) princes and its people," h e says t h ey are `°qualifications for which Sir Charles Napier has never disguised his contempt?' Here he proffers largely to enlist the reader's judgment in favour of himself, and against the presump tion of one who scorns all other men's knowledge; yet in the same page, a few lines lower down, we are told that he communicated the results of his experience to Sir Charles Napier, " who then bore very handsome testimony to the value of the information supplied." Again, in the same page he states, that a requisition had been made for his services by Sir Charles Napier. It is true, and the reason given by Sir Charles in the Blue Book, p. 454, is that " Major Outram is the most fit person. He has more local knowledge than any man here, and has the most unwearied zeal for the public service." Again, in the Blue Book, p. 364, Sir Charles Napiersays—"lishall keep this m em o ran d am f o p en till the arrival of Major Outram, and will request of him to peruse it, that he may give his opinion upon the view which I have taken, an opinion which his experience of these countries, his abilities, and the high situation in which ho has been placed by the Governor-General, all render very important. If Major Outram concurs in the opinions which I have ventured to express, they wii be strengthened; if not, the Governor-General will be made acquainted with the opinions of one possessing great local knowledge. In his instructions to Colonel Outram, in p. 497, he says, " should any ar rangement (in the details of the new draft treaty) strike you, by which all or any of the parties concerned may be benefited, and which your great experience in Upper and more especially in Lower Sinde, renders very pro bable, you are requested to propose such arrangement to me, that I may, if necessary, submit the same to the Governor-General for his Lordship's decision, it being always understood that such modification or arrangement be not contrary to the spirit and principle of the draft treaty, as signed by the Governor-General subject to confirmation." I could give more passages to a similar effect, from the dispatches of this man, who never disguised his con tempt for practical and accurate knowledge, but these are surely enough to meet Colonel Outram's unscrupu lous assertion. In page 5, speaking of the attack on the Resi dency, he says —" Their spoliation and imprison ment had been justified solely on the grounds of a trea cherous attack on myself ; not only did I know them, with the exception of Meer Shadad, to be entirely guiltless of all participation direct or indirect in that attack, but, I know further, that to their protection I owed my life." Let me here appeal to the common sense of your readers, to ask, if any man is entitled to declare, in this unqualified manner, that none but Shadacl took any part " direct or indirect" in that attack ? How could Col. Outram know this? Would the declaration of the parties themselves be conclusive in his, or anybody's judgment? Yet on such evidence he acquits them, and condemns Sir C. Napier. More over, Colonel Outram left Sinde on the sixth day after this attack. Three of those nays were spent in actual warfare, and I take leave to doubt whether, between the 18th of February, the day on which the Ameers sur renderea, and the 21st of February, when Colonel Outram left. Sinde, he had many opportunities of investigating Calm matter, or availed himself of them. But if he relies on the evidence of the Beloochees (and what other can h e have?), is similar evidence to be wholly omitted or rejected when it directly contradicts his assertions? At the end of the supplementary Blue Book, pp. 136, &c., it is stated that Meer Nusseer, of Khyrpore, and many chiefs of lesser note, were there—Meer Mahomed Khan, a cousin of Shadad, was wounded at the attack on the, Residency (p. 510 Blue Book). Meer Nusseer of Hy derabad is said to have ordered the attack the night be fore; Meer Sobdar is also said to have desired Meer Gholam Shah, who was in his service, to join in the at tack. This evident's° (with the exception of that relating to Meer Mahound being wounded) is given by Meer Gholam Shah, his brother, Meer Fuzzil Ali, nephew of the chief Ameer Mahomed, and by Meer Bijjur, the brother-in-law of Shadad. Why is Colonel Outram's alleged knowledge of the perfect innocence of all the Ameers except Shadad to outweigh the ex press evidence of these men, as to specific ac t s ? A re these questions to be decid e d by Colonel Outram's broad and absolute assertions of his knowledge of the Ameers' innocence, and that in the teeth of opposite evidence ? Really his mode of proving his case resembles that of the counsel, who said, " My Lord and gentlemen of the jury, Sarah Huggins is indicted for stealing Mary Thompson's cap. She did steal it, did'nt she, Mary ? ' Yes, sir.' That's my case, my Lord." In the same page (5), Colonel Outram says, " a ward of my own, the youthful Ameer lloossam Ali, entrusted to me by a dying - father, and that father a staunch friend of the British. natton," &c. Here is another daring nsser tion "all:" opposed to evidence in the Blue Boui c, passim. This father was Noor Mahonsed, the e d hi by ef Acme!: in Sir Henry Pottinger's time, and described him ib'coughout as our bitterest, most persevering , and unprincipled enemy. I give a few, and but a few, ex trae:cs from Sir Henry Pottmger's opinion of Noor. In p. 32, Blue Book, ho says, " Noor Mahomed has coati- 0 uued to evince the same suspicious, unfriendly, and (1, 4 n. peec • bl 4 conduct." P. 35, The great difficulty I h ave in arriving at any positive conclusion as to what Noor Mahotned Khan will do springs from his utter and abandoned want of either truth or shame." P. 38, "It seems to me very evident that Noor Mahomed's object and hope were to gain a declaration from me, that we would support him against his relations, and then to have turned them against us." P. 39, " His perverseness, no doubt, partly proce xis from his innate suspicious and treacherous disposition." "It is impossible to trust his * Supplementary Blue Book ii frhis memorandum is the very dispatch of the 17th of October, 1842, in which the misuse of the word " pretext" occurs ; and he enlarges upon several points in it in COUSC queue of the opinion then_ given by Colonel Outram.

" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 1l s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in tke restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perflime it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above facts.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turtling grey, a few drops on the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet: In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the head ; if very_ bad, repeat It every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infents' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair. —See pamphlet of testimonials.

" Not one hour passes without my obtaining additional proofs of his ini mical feelings." P. 49, ." In addition to these unequi vocal proofs of Noor Mahomed's unabated enmity and treachery,"' I will trouble you with but One more ex tract, and that is from Sir Henry Pottinger's letter, 25th January, 1840 (p. 232), to Colonel Outram himself, on -Sir Henry's giving up the agency to hian:—"Noor Mahomed is still that intriguing, faithless person he has ever been." Are these proofs of Noor Mahomed's staunch friendship for the British nation? There are many more in the Blue Book. Does not this prove that Colonel Outram's assertions and the facts disclosed in the Blue Book are by no means alike? - In p. 18 of his own book Colonel Outram writes, ' It is a singular coincidence that the discovery of my in ferior ability should only have bet n made after Sir CharieiNapier was aware that I had found it nt ce. , ,ary, in the discharge of an imperative duty, to advocate the cause of the Ameers, and in so doing, to cunderun -the policy he had adopted." The purport of this inteue- Lion is clear enough, and I beg the reader's attentiou to the remarks I shall make upon it, that it. true value may be ascertained. Colonel Outram in the same page cites a letter of the 25th January, 1843, to show the high opinion Sir Ch ar l es N ap i er then entertained of his judgment. _ _ From this one of two things is clear, either—lst, that up to the 25th of January Colonel Outrun bad not advocated . the cause of the Ameers, and had not' condemned Sir Charles' Napier's policy; or, 2dly, if previously 'to 25th of January he did take that course of .condemna,tion, then the letter t-hows that Sir Charles Napier had not been swayed by it to undervalue Colonel Outram's judgment and ability-, and this peevish insinuation is shown to be baseless. Ile cannot avoid the dilemma by saying he referred to his own statements to the authorities at home, because, in page 6, he says, "In makin g th e revelations which I did to the home authorities, I only gave effect to *ten- Lions of which I had long before apprised Sir Charles Napier!" Now, I must presume that his opposition to, and remonstrances against, Sir C. Napier's policy con tinued through the period in which they acted together, since Colonel Outram must have . desired p rac ti ca ll y to eheck that policy. I Must pr es ume, also, that Colonel Outram, in his home statements, said no more than he thought the facts would justify, and than he had pre viously said to Sir C. Napier himself. If, then, Colonel Outram had acted throughout against Sir C. Napier's" policy—had always condemned it to Sir Charles him self—had told him he would state his own views to Go vernment, as he had before to him, and that he would seek " by every means in his power to enlist the sym pathies of those in authority in behalf of the unfortunate Princes, who by a series of unjust acts of oppression, and by the rude violence of their followers, anxious only for the independence of their country, were forced to re sistance and then punished for it, their possessions con fiscated, and themselves sent into captivity and treated with indignity" (p. 6.), would Sir Charles Napier . (whom Colonel Outram insinuates to have been swayed by spleen and anger) have applauded him on the 25th January, parted from him with " assurances of regard," and expressed himself respecting Col. Outram, both " orally and in writing, in the warmest and strongest language?" (p. 6) But if all this be true, if Colonel Outram did so act and speak during his official services with Sir C. Napier, what truth is there in the above in sinuation, and on which of them does it Oast most discredit? I have taken the matter for all the above remarks from the first eighteen pages of Colonel Outram's book, and venture to think that they are sufficient to throw some light on the true value of his proofs and assertions, and the quality of his hostility. Colonel Outram speaks of his own forbearance under the attacks made in Parliament and elsewhere on his public character, and of the duty to himself and his family to vindicate it. Were there not attacks in Par liament and the Court of Proprietors on Sir Charles Na pier? Was he not, there and in newspapers, both here and in India, in pamphlets, reviews,„ , and speeches, repre sented as little less than treacherous to those who em ployed him, as a guilty and wanton shedder of innocent blood, as ignorant, self-willed, tyrrnnical, a savage sol dier, a sordid, ruthless plunderer? Where was the spring head from which these waters of bitterness were first drawn? Was it not in " the revelations" which Col. Outram's " conscience impelled him to make known to those who had a right to interrogate him on the subject." (p. 6.) Why did not his conscience impel him long before to renounce office under the guilty author and perpetrator of this wicked policy, " since nearly a month before the battle of Meeanee he not only clearly foresaw the sad events that were to follow, but declared to Sir Charles Napier his conviction that every life which might here after be lost in consequence would be a murder?" (p. 4.) What public duty bound or could bind 'him to continue an actor in any policy which he clearly foresaw " must lead to such crimes?" how could he part from this great criminal, even after the perpetration of his crimes, " with assurances of mutual regard?" (p. 6.) How could he on 27th January, 1843, only three weeks before , the battle of Meeanee, write to Sir Charles Napier thus:—" I am too glad of the honour of serving under you, and proud of your friendship and confidence, to require or wish for further advantages so long as I con tinue with you. I shall defer sending this letter" (one disinterestedly refusing to accept any increase of salary), " however, till :you dispen se w i t h my services, lest it should induce you to do so one day sooner than you otherwise intended." (p. 305, appendix of his book.) What! glad of the honour of aiding a murderous po licy--dreading to be released from his service in such a 1 cause and under such a leader! " What wilt thou do, renowned Falconbridge, Second a villain and a murderer ?" Colonel Outram, by his violent hostility to my brother, by his endeavour to intercept the rewards of his ser vices—to impair his fame—to :Wu his honour—to brand deeply the characters of infamy on him and shame on us, has forfeited all right to delicacy or forbearance towards himsg/f, and I shall therefore produce proofs of his opinion of Sir Charles Napier that I would other wise have withheld. At the time he arrived in England a rumour also came that a second battle had been fought and that Sir Charles Napier was killed. I tried to see Colonel Outram, who had brought letters from him to myself and several more of his family. By mere accident I did not see him then, or at all, but I wrote a note to ask if he could give any information respecting this painful rumour, and I ad dressed him as what I then supposed he was—the true and %%arm friend of my brother. I now copy his answer, which I then kept as the words of a friend. I can still draw some friendly services from them. "E'en drops are welcome from a scanty spring." Let it be remembered that all the events had taken place when this letter was written. Colonel Outram and Sir Charles Napier had parted, and have never since met. The wicked policy and its deadly issues were known to him who foresaw its crimes, and denounced its iniquity, but had worked with the author of them, and who was now about to unfold this dark volume before the eyes of the Government, and not to keep it alto gether closed from the public. " Dear Sir,—l only received your note late last night on my return home, and regret much you should have been so long in suspense regarding your noble brother, who is, I confidently trust and believe, in good health, and doubtless victorious. The only information we re ceived in Bombay up to our departure on the night of the Ist of April was that brought by a native cossid to Corachie, alluded to in the Times. The addition of his death originated God knr.,ws where, but certainly not from the only source it could, have arisen from, had it been true,, for I saw th.e dispatches from the authorities at Corachie, containing all the information they had received, and, N.:IP the exception of the c o ss id a ll u d e d to, whose inf` araat i on they reported, no other commu nication brAd been obtained. " However Sir Charles and I differ on Indian politics, he is, I consider, the dearest personal friend I have ; and I should mourn his loss almost as much as any member of his family. But I have no fears on the score of the reports you allude to, although I certainly fear that the worry and exposure he will be subjected to, in the conduct of his most arduous task, in such a climate as Sinde, - must severely try his health. " I am, my dear Sir, very faithfully yours, (Signed) • " J. OUTRAM. " 10, Maddox-street, Tuesday morning." How are such words to be reconciled with his con. duct ? Was Sir Charles Napier " his dearest personal friend. 2" Did Colonel Outram really think him my " nt.dalf) brother ;" and would he indeed " have mourned his loss almost as much as any member of his family ?" Or eras he, as Colonel Outram's " revelations to the home, authorities " (then made and now avowed and ex pand4ed in his work) would imply, the author and per patr dor of a policy wrought out by insult, fraud, and murder, to its unrighteous ends of conquest and spoils,- tion ? Do such words as " however Sir Charles and I differ. on Indian politics," suggest that there was any such gulf between them as that which divides violence and fraud from humanity and truth—oppression and war from protection and peace ? Did Talleyrand utter a jesting scoff or a bitter truth when he said that "lan guage was given to us to conceal our thoughts ?" I am, Sir, &c., RICHARANAPIER. orth Wales, Oct. 26. • • JSAILI LOAD CHAPLAINCY. --.The Rev.
