INGLIS, Secretary. JONDON AND YORK RAILWAY. To the Seripholders and Subscribers to the Deed of the above Company. A Committee of Shareholders in the London and Yark 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, or in any way improve their position. The Committee view with alarm the daily depreciatl , n which 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 aid York Com pany must absorb all the deposits. If the Act be obtained, calls must immediately follow ; and the mejority of the scripholdens 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 mentary Contract. This fearful position of matters has induced the Committee to con sider that probably the Eastern Counties Company, who are the strong opponents of the Lakes 1 and York Company, may, for the sake of protection and certait ty to their own shareholders, be still open to some liberal compronds,, and that the London and York directors and shareholders onglit, either by diminishing the extent of their undertaking (and consequently lessening the amount off calls to re lave the pressure which will come o n their subscribers), or by some absorption in the Eastern Counties C om p an y , obtain a participation in an undertaking yielding a present profit, instead of one whose re turn, if ever obtained, will not be arrived at without years of painful sacrifices and distress. With these views, the Committee think stets ought to be Immedi ately taken to open a negotiation with the Eastern Counties, it' not to dissolve the London and York Company. In the opinion of the Committee, either the line south of Peter borough ought to be abandoned, and the shares reduced to 201. each, or the line sh uld 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 positios of several well-supported Companies who, before the Committee of the House of Commons, clearly showed a return on their capital from to 8 per cent., prows that success on the part of the London and York Railway, in obtaining their Bill, will entail ruinous loss on the subscribers and scripholders ; and if any other argument was needed to maintain the views of the Committee, the following extra"t from the " Times" of the Bth of April, might alone be ceemeti sufficient : " The character of the crisis, and its effects on the new lines, are _graphically illustrated in the catastrophe of the Loudon and Oxford _Railway, as reported in yesterday's paper : 4 ' 'Mr. I. K. Brunel, examined by the Chairman.—The prices have So Increased since the Acts were obtained, that the lilies mentioned above (the Oxford and Worcester, and the Oxford and Rugby) can not be constructed at the estimated prices. Considers that the con struction of railways is new 50 per cent. mere than at this time last year. " At this point of the proceedings the Chairman said that :the Committee thought it unnecessary to hear any more evidence re specting the London and Oxford Line ; and, accordingly, after the room had been cleared far a few minutes, the Chairman announced that the Committee were unanimously of op uton tbat the preamble of the London and Oxford had not been prov, 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 scripholder with such power, that a majority in number and value duly registered at any public meeting will prevent the further progress of any Bill in Parliament; and as the London and York Railway Bill will, in a very few days, stave to appear before a similar tribunal as that of the defunct London and Oxford, the Committee are, therefore, very anxious at once to ascertain if the shareholders concur in any of their 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 public meeting con vened, as may be deemed meet expedient for the protection of the Interests of all parties. To the Committee of the London and York Shareholders. Gentlemen,—l am a scripholder of Shares in the London and York Railway, and am desirous, Firstly, of having the Line South of Peterborough given up, so as to lessen the cost ; or, Secondly, of having terms made with the Eastern Counties Company fir an abandonment of the London and York Railway and Amalgamation with the Eastern Counties Line, or, Thirdly, of having the C ,mpany At Once dissolved. I would prefer the• of these alternatives, and I authorise the Committee of Shareholders to represent my opinion to the Legis liaLure, and to pray Parliament to carry the same into effect, or to re sect the London and York Bill.

The Committee of Shareholders call the attention of the original Subscribers and actual Holders of Shares in this Company to as advertisement dated the 16th instant, and by the Secretary of the Company, expressing the confidence of the Directors in obtain!ng their Bill. The Committee, considering this the greatest misfortune that can happen to the Shareholders, the more earnestly .invite all those from whom they have not yet received communications, to lose no time in recording their opinion in accordance with the sug gestions contained in the circular issued by the Committee on the 14th instant. The holders of many thousand shares have already returned their concurrence with the views of the Committee; and the progress thus far made leaves no doubt on the minds of the Committee of their ul timate success. The Committee, in reply to many letters received, offering pecuni ary support, beg to state that they decline resolving any subscriptions, and intend personally bearing all tll expenses, unless the body of Shareholders in the London and York line vote their payment from the general funds.

The Committee feel that the steps they are taking will reduce from theory to practice the wish of the Directors, and facilitate In the most effectual manner the attainment of the object which they now for the first time announce their Intention to accomplish, and the Committee have much satisfaction in apprising the Share holders that the answers they have already received establish be yond a doubt that the Prop r i e t ors w i ll adopt the v i ews wh i c h l e d to the formation of this Committee, and which they consider as the only means of escape from liabilities and engagements of a most ruinous nature.

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 : CAMP, NEAR KOLROOR. It is needless for me to give you details of the splendid victory at Sobraon. You will have read in the Govt rnor- General's order, and in Sir H. Gow's dispatch, how with [mmense loss the Seikhs were driven from.theirformidable intrenchment, constructed on the most scientific European principles by their Spanish engineer, how our noble troops, European and native alike, carried these without 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 have 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 tha 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. bo 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 b, en dangerous ; and any check of our army would have had a baneful effect 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 gr. at and final effort should t e made, so has this been cars ied 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 obvi: us desire of conquest. We should have had a Punjaub war under Lord Ellenborough, had he remained, long ere this, but it would have been one open, and justly open, to cavil. Some strange demand would have driven the over-confi dent Seikbs to off:nsive operations, even if we had not taken the initiative, and it may be questioned whether our actions and conduct of the war w ould have come up to the present standard. Our men would have displayed the same gallantry, but the director of 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 agc'ression there is ample reason and necessity for those stringent terms which will be eventually dictated, and which the Governor-Gene ral's proclamation 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 batik 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 furtile, 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 conduet 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 betaken ere 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 pract icable by the map. Again, with a solemn and impressive warning as to the consequences of further . opposition, does the Governor- Generalh . of the Go vernment to submit themselves to the authority l British Government, and to enable the Governor-Genera summon the chiefs and officers of the Seikh I hope we • not to de scendant of the late Maharaja. ale have a subsidiary treat/. There are able men enough to organise a Seikh Government in the person of a among the Seikhs to form a strong seemGovernent. and an independent one, and I would far rather an inde pendent one, which should have som e care for and pride in itself , than one of those effete, miserable things called Governments, such as at Hyderabad, and which are the ine which would weaken us, and yitale result of this system. . By establishing such a end in strengthening the Government Government, we should deprive the Seikhs of their w s t h h e n e r e n v nb r e; :(in feudatories, ( u e) p rt d o d a u s i ts a : i i .blr cordially ee hopeiseif t may is to be baen Government at all, then, one, as , ability to serve as allies, weaken the north-west frontier, and find ourselves engaged with border tribes and in quarrels between this Government and its wild neigh apffoastarseawaii t oo h , ou a t t ouri whatevern t e r m present d 1 i n g e ' N I f e t p h a is u le cannot is n nabeltehteo brought o t g ec h t t itself, ahoabout to i help would us r , f t h n e - r s e e s e c on e , t r h . andwho whole e o manage made inconvenience; we cannot now stand upon trifling con siderations ; the protection and security of Y our whole a i ß ts r o it w is n h frontier are at stake. I say again, I hope there may b e no su b sidiary force . We should require one of 30,000 men at least, the. v eterans of the army a n d 10,000 European s to be a portion of it. You do not seem at present able to spare us any more, but you must ere long, O ur present European force will bold the country against all odds • but we must have m ore to fill up the places t h ey have ' l e ft vacant all over India. Sir Henry H ar di nge has provided for the sapp l y of the native army, an d I h ave not the least doubt has laid before your G overnment his want of European troops. Even the mere casualties have thinned their numbers fearfully, e. y ...., of the 50th, 450 men and officers have been killed, wounded, and disabled, out of 650, and other corps in proportion. The Governor-General recognises the probable ex istence of a Seikh army, as a m atter of c ourse, only as an appendage to a r e g ular and .independent Government. The mere mention of the arm y . gives me m ore h ope of an independent, though circumscribed, government, than any other part of the' proclamation. Under it strong adn SALES BY AUCTION MESSRS.

THE WINDING OF THE RIVER WYE in the immediate vicinity, THE '',EAUTEOUS WOODLAND SCENERY, THE NEVER-TIRING COMBINATION OF HILL A/CO DALE, TUE RIVER FULL OF SALMON AND TROUT, the verdant pastures, luxuriant orchards and gardens in every di rection, produce an effect not to be appreciated, and in no part of England to be exceeded in beauty. THE RESIDENCE IS ONE OF COMFORT, and was formerly the abode of JOHN OVERT:ND, ESQ., THE WEALT , 1" 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.

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 be• .yond measure.

The Fara Houses and all the agricultural buildings are in first-rate condition, and cannot require a shilling to be expended in any way. The high Holyhead and London mail daily traverses through the hamlet, and the railway has shortened the time to London to less than three hours. THE CITY OF COVENTRY, close at hand, is a feature of too much importance to be oYerlooked ; but as the advantages seam to follow in such quick succession, Mr. Robins will desist from prolonging this announcement until he has made his survey—only observing the present very low rental exceeds FIFTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR, AND THE PROPERTY IS ALL EXTRA-PAROCHIAL. By way of conclusion, it affords the writer‘;'3 , great satisfaction to Join in and express a very concurrent opinion, and one that has be come manifest now-a-days, that THE AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY HAVE BIZEN MUCH MORE FRIGHTENED THAN HURT, a fact which a very few mouths will demonstrate beyond the possi bility of misapprehension.

Will the new arm) be a contingent, as at Gwalior and Hyderabad ? Per haps so. It i 3 more likely than a subsidiary force ; bu greatly open to the same objections as one. FLnally, if further opposition is experienced, thi Government of India will make such other arrangement for the future government of the country as the interest: of the British power may render just and expedient : which means, th a t th e B r i t i s h G overnment w ill ta k e t h ( Punjaub and govern it after its own fashion. The Seiki army may be disordered and weakened, but it will take much to break the fanatical zeal of the Seikhs, am there are many of the Sirdars who will share this feel ing with them. It i s p er h aps the only nat i ona l feel i ng which has been encountered in India. Among the Rajpoots of part'cular trib es th ere h ave app e are d traces of national feeling, but the tribes are too di vided and too limited in power to have rendered such I. f ee li ng a principle of action. No man th at ever I h eard of took pride in saying that he was a Mahratta, or that he was a Nizam's subject or one of Oude or G walion Attachment to a Government, as the head of a peopb has been a rare thing in India ; but here we hav attachment by a fanatical people to a Government, and its head, which, in Runjeet Singh, was a splendi( realisation of power. We know that the Khalsa army. containing few mercenaries, is essentially a nations' one, and is identified with the Government in feel ing, sect, prejudice, and ambition. Therefore I thinl, 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 it, until routed again and again, or taking at once to thos( strong fortified places in the country, which they can hold in desperation, and which it will cost us man) 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 classes, 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 perfect 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 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 declared they should be placed 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 immwediately followed the last battle he made at once to the Governor-General's camp, to arrange, in conjunction with him, the futuro settle ment of the 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 cupation of Lahcre, 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 '.aid, &c. 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 snore. 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 Sutlej is to go, or what it is to do, does not yet appear ; it will probably occupy the lower part of I'unjiub, and :f there be truth in the report of the submission of Moultan, will very probably proceed thither at once. Moultan pays 31 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 you of. I am much afraid that we shall have another season of cholera, as that dire scourge has already shown 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 have no remedies against it. Distress is severely felt in the central dis tricts and in lihandeish, 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 another, 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 embar rassing council, took place not long ago, the collectors or Julookhdars being summoned to provide for the 22 lacs of debt, and to make further advances. As the revenue of every district is forestalled, not only was every present demand impossible of satisfaction, but it was urgently represented that as the advances had been made from private funds, they should be put in train of adjustment I The Government is now without credit, and without management ; and how it contrives at all, is surprising. It seems exceedingly probable that as soon as the Punjaub affair is settled the management of this state may occupy the at tention of the Governor-General, its troops and expenses he reduced to a footing commensurate with its resources, and, 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, and is likely to be com menced forthwith. We are all anxiously expecting the reports on the great lines, and I sincerely trust there may 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 the Persian Gulf, we have raceived the following from a correspondent:—" In your paper of the 18th inst., I ob serve a notice of the Fox frigate having gone ashore on a reef near Barrack in the Persian Gulf, said to have been erroneously laid down in the maps.' As it is of the utmost importance that it should be ascertained how far the Government Chart of this sea is to be depended upon, I would beg to suggest through the medium of your journal, that measures be adopted to effect this object with as little delay as possible. From my own experience, I am able to point out two considerable errors in the said chart, viz. the direction of the coast fur eight or ten miles west ward from Lingar, which is laid down several points out of its true bearings, and the form and the extent of the sand bank lying to the south-west of Kishme. To this I must add, that I have heard Captain Gray, of the Endymion, state 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 11. 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. hf rs. 48, 412, and 3 annas. The Rev. Mr. Wolff, having returned to England without proceeding to Ail ghanistan, the sum placed at his disposal, 10,000 rs., has 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 endeavouring to effect the 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 to cash Colonel Shiers bills to the above amount. The committee purpose purchasing an annuity of 10/. per annum for the lady whose father was tilled at Caubul, for the purpose of which 7,000 ru pees will probably be required, thus leaving an unappro .riated balance of about 32,412 rupees." The followin,,e melancholy account of the death of an officer, his lady, and shill, from cholera, has been published by the Madras U. S. Gazette :—" It is with much pain we announce Le decease, by cholera, at Secunderabad, cn the 18th nstant, of Brevet Captain Thomas Osborne, of the 40th and his lady, both of whom fell victims to this atal epidemic on the same day, having on the preced ing one lost their infant child. Since the above was in ype the following particulars have reached us in a let ,er from Secunderabad Lieutenant Osborne, of the 10th NJ., which corps is now a stage or two distant - rorn Secunderabad, having lost one of his children by teething, came on to the cantonment with the corpse to lave it buried, leaving his family in camp. No sooner `lad he arrived at Captain Harper's than he was himself attacked with the epidemic. This news having reached Hrs. Osborne, she hastened to join her husband, when .he was also seized by the same disease, which in both .aces proved fatal on the same day. The hapless young zouple were buried yesterday evening. The poor lady's syah, I understand, has also fallen a victim to the pes -61, nce this morning. Captain and Mrs. Harper have n consequence removed from their house to avoid its treaded effects.' " The following extract, in reference to " Railways in India," is taken from the report of the 18B4o5rn_ib6 : In In nh , ai b a e c r din. of d ance Commerce, witht hfoerth resolution efi rst passed quarter if tt the annual g enera l meet i ng of the 7th of October, 1845, the proceedings at which were given in the last report, your committee, in the beginning of the follow ing month, addressed a letter to the secretary to the elovernment of India, with the Right Honourable the Governor-General, expressing the views of the Chamber in reference to the introduction of railway communi cation, and claiming for the Presidency of Bombay an equitable participation in the advantages which the ,upport and assistance of Government towards the es tablishment of the new system of intercourse, were cal ailated to confer. This communication, a copy of which is annexed in the Appendix, was forwarded to the Bombay Government, with a request that, in handing it up for the cousiderction of the Governor-General, his Honour in Council would see fit to accompany it with a favourable expression of opinion in regard to the object which it sought to attain, Your committee have been apprised of the transmission of the letter to its desti nation, but they are not aware what view of its contents has been taken by the local authorities, nor have they, as yet, been favoured with any reply to it from the Supreme Government. In the present state of political affairs, it would be too much, perhaps, to look for any very close attention on the part of the Head of Government, to subjects of this nature ; but as soon as matters assume a more favourable posture, they have little doubt that their memorial will receive due consi deration at his Excellency's hands. Railways have so important a bearing upon the interests of trade, and seem likely, if introduced, to contribute so largely to its promotion in Western India, that your committee, as a commercial body, naturally feel a warm concern in the successful progress of the intended improvement, and are anxious to obtain an official recognition of the opinions they have ventured to express, satisfied, as they are, that their views are based upen reasonable grounds, and 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 Dr. 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 Osprey. 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 env 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 be adopted. The circumstance of the wheat per ()spray 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, panted 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 an 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 amount subscribed in Cal cutta towards the fund for the relief of the distressed poor in Ireland has reached the sum of nearly 7,000/.-1,000/. of which was collected in the army of the Sutlej under the Commander -in-Chief.—The Benares Bank has :de clared 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 1,0001, belonging to a Mr. Davison, has been completely destroyed by fire—believed to have been accidental. The Madras Spectator 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 into the general treasury for 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, mid has put up with the agent to the Lieutenant-Governor . The 14th Dra g oons reaced Agra or the 27th February, and left for Meerut on the 4th March. The important measures have just been sanctioned at the India llouse. It has been determined that a statistical department, to collect, arrange, metho disc, and abridge the 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 vance the sum of one thousand pounds on each volume. The resolution in favour of each of these measures was carried by very large majorities. GENERAL ORDERS, BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. head-quarters, Bombay, March 11, 1846.

Foreign Department —The Hon. the Lieut.-Governor of the north west provinces has much gratification !tt announcing to the people of Hindoostan, the entiredis person of all th e S e ikh f orces on thSs 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 Loodianah, 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. J. THORNTON, Secretary to Government N. W. P. BY THE RIGHT lION. THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL. Camp Lahore, Feb. 20, 1846. On occasion of the army of the Sutlej entering the Punjaub, on the 12th instant, the Right Honourable the Governor-General was pleased to announce, in general orders of that date, the grant, to all corps of that army whose head-quarters were on the right bank of the Sutlej, of the same rates of pay and allowances as those laid down in the general orders of the lfith of August, 1845, for the artillery, cavalry, and infantry, of the Bengal army, serving in Scinde. 2. Tho Governor-General is now further pleased to extend that boon to all men of those corps, who, in consequence of wounds received in action on the 18th, 21st, or 22d of December, 21st or 28th of January, or 10th of February, were unable to proceed with their regiments into the Punjaub, and on account of their wounds remained in hospital at Ferozepore or elsewhere. J. STUART, Lieutenant-Colonel, Secretary to Government of India, Military Department, with Governor-General. BY THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF IN INDIA. Head Quarters, Camp liussoor, Feb. 14, 1846. (135.) 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 strotrzly entrenched position of Sobraon. The Commander-in-Chief feels that be 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 well-served artillery, which our guns had not succeeded in silencing, thougk 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 dep.irtment, 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.
