The long and interesting dispatches relative to the affairs which appea red in The Sun on Saturday, of the Punjsub , throw Much light on our relations with that country, and leave no doubt whatever that the Indian Government was driven by absolute necessity to . make war horenot on In: these upon e the Seikhs, but the p resent :rulers at La. documents three features appear conspicuous above all the iest—the corrupt and reckless government that now prevails , the ornelty and lawless disposition of the Seikhs, and the firm e l e t er minatien, we 'may say to a fault, of the Governor- General to commit: no over t act which could give the slightest pretence for aggression. Major BROADFOoT Who appears to have executed his mission with prudence and fidelity, describes the disgusting and horrible scenes Which oeourred in the capital before the RANEE, her paramour and Ministers, fell upon the plan of attacking the English to destruction. dof the Seikh army, and save themselves f rom certain n Drinking to excess, debauchery of the most re voiti character, treachery and cruelty prevailed to an ex tent kaPs never equalled at the most corrupt courts. The character and habits of the RANEE, or QuintN. la or rt tt, m a y serve as specimens of the rest. "The state of parties," says the agent p, in a letter dated August 6, 1845, ""is seriously changed, but h is, the RANEZ'S mind haying become seriously affectedbsey lier excesses; she has b ec ome stupid, instead of clever and lively thoughy ; is some ti mes f or at times s h e s h e t a k es b ut taus in st4te bordering on fatuity ;f' retivtlhistly when stimulated by dri nking, JO*, Sep in the public busines s, compared W ith what kited vo 7 iee of the she used to do, and then is guided chiefly by her low para mours and servants. Now, the remnant of wise men left hitherto prevented convulsion by their influence with the RANEE, especially the Fakeers and BHASE RAH SINGH ; but this influence is all but gore in the RANEE'I4 present state ; so much so, that BIIAEE RAM SINGH lately sent me a cau tion against closing a business with the existing Government, as it was certain the troops, on their return after the Dus ' serah, would put to death JOWAHIR SINGH and the th RiavEn, with her son." in fact t he y did put to dea this &MAIM S INGH , brother of the lidssturc, and cut his body almost to pieces. The RANEE, and her drunken associates and Dlinisters saw that they would be next devoured, unless this terrible army, without discipline and any feeling of mercy, were diverted from their purpose. The troops, it would appear, were not at all disposed to attack the English, but every day the RANEE and the Sirdars became more urgent for their advance to the frontier, be lieving that the only hope of saving their lives and pro longing their power was by a collision with the British forces. These facts exhibit the character of the Government, and the army, which, under certain promises, and after con siderable sums of money had been centered on it, entered into a sort of bargain for the invasion of the British terri tory. In such circumstances, therefore . , the Governor- General took all the necessary, steps which he consi dered open to him for guarding the frontier; he ordered up reinforcements, had a great number of regiments ready to march at four hours' notice, and mustered within a reasonable distance as many forces as he thought would be sufficient to repel an invasion which he had every reason to believe was not undertaken with good will. But he was mistaken as to the people he had to deal with—the Seikhs hal - collected a much larger army than either Major BROADFOOT or any agent en the right bank of the Sutlej had considered possible for them to muster in such a short period, - .and the extent Of the danger was not seen till about the Bth of December, ten days before the first battle: The Angle-Indian army was then put in motion, and how nobly and gallantly it accomplished its work, the people of this country and of the greater part of Europa already know. Several charge Sir HENRY HARDINGB with neglect, and say that he was sur prised, and had he mustered a larger force on the frontier the battle would have been less bloody and more quickly decided: 'We - entirely concur in 'the latter view of the case; but it is evident from Sir -HENRY HARDINGE'S dis patches, and the communications of his agents, that he was anxious above all things to afford no grounds for war; in deed, his language on that point is so unequivocal, that Is e have no doubt whatever that he was acting according to the instructions of a power above him. The troops he had already collected along the frontier were viewed by the La hore Government with jealousy, and ultimately made the pretence for attacking - our troops. Had he collected an army either at Ferozepore e - r Looaianah, he would have acted on the offensive, and fully justified the Seikhs in their invasion. As it is, the Case is happily different._ We have right on our side, and in a moral point of view, and as regards physical force,_ this is of the very first importance. Nerdy all the French journals admit the Seikhs were in the wrong, and they are, therefore, the - more inclined to do justice to the bravery of the British trews, which they do in the most explicit terms. - But, even if the Governor-General had assem bled a large army, be could not tell at what point the Seikhs would make an irruption. -By concealing their move ments they could have antiCipatedihire by several days on a line of frontier extending for nearly a hundred miles, and, as was the case" at Moodkee, there must have been forced marches, and the troops subjected to the greatest fatigue before they could come up with the enemy. "It appeais to me," .says Major BROADFOOT, that the frontier is tao long to be defensible on all points by any force we can move. This was evidently also the opinion of Sir Hama , HARDINGE,- and if we are not mistaken, the Duke of WELLINGTON will: bear his testimony to the fact. It is easy to find- fault, and some men delight in throwing - the - heavy blame on - p u blic servants, without considering their difficulties, and not unfrequently in perfect ignorance of the real meritsof the ease. WimixeckTosr, too, was charged with negligence, and accused of having suf fered himself to be surprised-by the French on the plains of Belgium ; but these - accusations have died away, and his successful stand at Quatre Bras and victory at Waterloo have 'ully justified him in the eyes of all respectable judges. The protectionists turned pale as the ple celebrated the triumph of " their worst. enemies." The " farmer's friends" also received another blciw in the nomina tion of the Earl of LINCOLN. Mr. BAI '4r, of Basford, came forward to propose him, and in spite of The unseemly inter ruptions of gentlemen on the Mating ,he boldly declared that although Lord Lovots was not there, he would not only nominate him " but get him in. It was not the first time a subaltern had achieved a victoryi fzihe absence of the general ; he had not expected to - take part in an electioneering contest, but the circumsta at ces were such that any man who had feeling left in him, must t, as he did, fling himself into the struggle, with warm bloQi 1 and spirits high, and fight for peace, and liberty, and intL ependence." To morrow the contest will take - place,:and it:r emains to be seen whether the electors of the northern divisit m wil! giye their votes for an untried candidate and a worn-4 on t cause, or range themselves under the banners of those who a re ilow all powerful only because they are acting for the people's good, and in accordance with the wants and wishes of the people. and that ISTL EITZ and BIitAFLORES would give place to RoNcALI and NARVAEZ: The English Ambassador gave a splendid ball on the - night of: the 21st, Which was attended by upwards of .§(x) persons: On the 21st the Three per Cents. closed at 32 11 / 9 at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 23% at 60 days. The, French Minister of Finance has at last introduced into Ite Chamber -of Deputies a Bill for the reduction:of postage in letters. . He proposes f.r single letters that the charge shall be two sous, when the distance does not exceed twenty kilomqtres (12i English miles), four sous, the distance not exceeding forty kilometres, and increasing in the same ratio up to ten sous for a single letter, the maximum postage pro posed for the whole of France. The Bill did not appear to meet a favourable reception in the Chamber, as a more radical change, - . something like our penny postage, was ex pected. Some of the journals contain further remarks on the late battles in India ; and we may say all that have commented on the results have done full justice to thebravery of the British troops. The Constitutionnel, the organ of the ex-Minister, who has such a - cordial antipathy to England, is even com plimentary, and blames Sir HENRY HARDINGE, not for hav ing too small an army on the frontier, but for provoking the contest by assembling along the frontier some 17,000 men. "The General-in-Chief in India," says that journal, "is cer tainly right to congratulate himself on the victory, which, however, was dearly purchased, although, after the official reports, the number of killed and hounded is not so great as the private letters had represented it. But as to the term criminal _given to the incursion of the Seiks on the territory of their brethren', protected by the Company, it is not in any way justifiable, if it be borne in mind that the concentration of English troops on the frontier of the Punjaub had continued for several months, without any explanation being vouchsafed to the Government of Lahore. That the Seikhs, when menaced with an armed intervention should . have wade the first movement, and fallen on the divisions separated from each other by con siderable distances, and should have thus endeavoured to anticipate the blow destined, for them, is nothing but a good piece of strategy. The epithet of- criminal must not there fore be given to the combinations :of the - enemy, which only aimed at defending its independence with greater chances of success, and displayed more - courage and cleverness than was expected. With this reservation, we join completely in the eulogium whic,h the (army of India, as well European as na , tive, has merited on the part of its General, and of the mother-country." The Special Committee appointed to examine the extraordinary vote - of a :million sterling for Africa, after some discussion, had resolved on maintaining the limits proposed in 1830, which include - the territory lying between the sea, the frontier of Sahara, and Tell, Morocco, and the Regency of Tunis According to accounts from Bordeaux, the free-traders in France axe imitating the ex ample of the League in more ways than one. On Monday last they held a meeting in the principle theatre of that town a very large building, when the Mayor and some half-a dozen members of the Association made speeches suitable The majorityofninety-seven is decisive of the success of Sir Ron Era PEEL'S measure in:the House of Commons. It is possible, it is true, that some Conservatives who voted with Sir R. PEEL on Saturday morning may fall off in future divisions, and we have heard-of two or three Members likely to take this course. They would not be a party to so strong an opposition as a refusal to go into Committee to consider Sir ROBERT PEEL'S proposals; but when the several facts of the measure come to be considered in Committee, and when the Bills to be founded on the resolutions in Com mittee come before the House, they will vote against the Minister. But not many are likely to take this course; and, on the other hand, the protectionists may make sure that some of their rank and file will fall off in future divisions. All the two hundred and forty are not animated by the same zeal in the cause as the MuisEs and BANKESES and COLQU HOUNS—the expectants of office under the Duke of RICH MOND. Sir T. ACLAND declared that, though intending to give his vote against Sir R. PEEL in the first division, he would be no party to a factiOus and vexatious opposition, and that a decided majority in favour of the .Government would determine him to keep aloof from all subsequent opposition. There are manyother moderate Conservatives—men with strong attachment to Sir R. PEEL and who have voted against him with the greatest rehictance—men who have given their votes against the proposal, less from strong aversion to it on their own pinta . , than - in obediencelto the feelings of consti tuents—who will follow Sir T. ACLAND'S example. The pro tectionists will never muster two hundred and forty again. That two hundred anil forty:was a - convulsive effort. It is to be observed, also, that the number of absent Liberals is greater than that of absent - Tories. The whole number of the absent, allowing for North Nottinghamshire, Wigan, and Bridport, - . as vacant, - was -seventy-one. Of these twenty-six are accounted _ for as paired. Of the re maining forty-five - only- fifteen are • Tories, and thirty are Liberal Members. Mr. WATsox and Mr GRANGER, who were among the Liberal absentees, were compelled to go on :circuit, and-Mr. RICARDO, we are in formed, was compelled to go on bUsinesito Paris ; and these three gentlemen would have been in the division if the de bate bad not been so unreasonably protracted. We regret to see that so many as eighteen Irish Liberal Members are absent, on a qiiestion of which Irish famine is a principal in gredient. However, we may infer that the Government will on future occasions have the benefit of - the votes of several of the thirty Liberal Members who were absent on Friday without 'airs. - And if North Nottinghamshire is to return another protectionist _ recruit, Bridi3ort is - safe to return a sup porter of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S policy. We rejoice to hear, on the best authority, that the Govern ment measure is safe in thaords;and that it will be carried in that House by a majority of not less than thirty. Our readers may rely onithis statement, and disregard all the blustering of protectionist Dukes and newspapers, who blus ter the more about the House of Lords only; because they know that they have no chance in that House. :o the occasion. The Mayor proposed to raise subscriptions for carrying out their ;haws: At the conclusion, he an nounced that the members: of the Association present had subscribed 11,000 f., and that subscriptions had already been received to, the amount of 50,000 f. We copy from the Journal des Deiats the following impartial remarks respecting the probable resifts of a - war between England and the United States " It is for the advantage of the Union to remain at peace with England. The first interest of a people before whom a question of war is placed is, to avoid certain defeat. To all men of sound sense it must be evident, as well at Washington as in London, that the first campaign must turn to the advantage of Great Britain, for that power has for several years past been making immense preparations, Ships and steamers, stores, sailors and marines, are all ready in her arsenals. America, on the contrary, has nothing to oppose to her for midable adversary. The agricultural. commercial, and manufacturing interests would suffer immensely from a wart Cotton, which forms the principal article of American exportion; would, by a rigorous blockade, be kept in the ports of New Orleans, Mobile, Charleston, and Savannah. War would prove the ruin of the greatest part of the capitalists in the twelve or thirteen states who cultivate thatprecions article. The commerce of the ports - of New York, Boston, Phila delphia, and Baltimore, which have dispensed so much capital throughout the Country, would be destroyed, seeing that England is in a position to blockade all those ports, for her immense navy will en able her to do so. The only retaliation which America could inflict would be by means of her cruisers and her privateers. Those would doubtless cause Much injury to British commerce, but it would be trifling when compared with what America would suffer. Lastly, the prizes made by the privateers would not repair the injury which the American regular commerce would experience. And in a country thus impoverished, what market would the national manufacturers find, even when freed by war froth the competition of the English pr6ductions ? The convention Of 1827," concludes the Journal des Mats, " will doubtless be adhered - to by the United States; notice of the cessation of the treaty will be "given ; but, instead of being a signal for war, it will be the - preamble of a solution which will satisfy the United States as completely as the rational citizens of that Republic can deaire, which will preserie entire the honour of England, and which will preserve that which the enlightened men of all countries should endeavOur to maintain—the peace of the world being, as it is, the first benefit "conferred by civilisation, and the first guarantee of liberty." ' _ _ On Saturday the Paris Bourse continued firm throughout the day. The market closed as follows : Three per Cents., for Cash, 84f. 956. ; for Account, 84f. 90c. ; Five per Cents., for Cash, 123 f. 55 - c. ; for - Account, 123 f. 60c. ; Bank of France Shares, 3,445 f. ; Neapolitan, - 101 f. 25c. ; Spanish and New tLphoa Paris ih n se, leadingwn Shareiodt R q u loi ounteeen..

Not merely has curiosity been satisfied by learning the upshot of the diVision-on Saturday morning, but-it has likewise been gratified by listening to the arguments adduced by Mr.ConnEN before the termination of the discussion. !fad not his con valescence enabled the Hon: Member for Stockport to take (however tardily) some share in the debate, there would have been a manifest hiatus in the proceedings of Parliament upon this enlightened and :'compfehensiie measure. Every one, whether -free-trader or protectionist, was naturally anxious to become acquainted with the exact sentiments en tertained at this moment liy Mr. COBDEN, because in him they beheld the most influential of all out-of-door political economists ; because in him: they beheld, as it were, the mind and the muscle of that great Association-which had tended so much to impel the system of abolition to its accomplishment; because, moreover, in him they beheld the most popular pri vate representative in the House as far as the question at issue was concerned, Besides which, people were the more desi rous of hearing that Honourable Gentleman's voice from the Opposition benches, as to some sceptics his intentions seemed to be problematical ; they clung with despairing avidity to the hope of his impling Sir IteoßEßT's policy by persisting in his demand for an immediate and total repeal of both im port and export duties. It was the last straw at which, in the agonies of their destruction, these satellites of Mr. Mum grasped with spasmodic eagerness and stolid perti nacity. Mr. BRIGHT'S acquiescence with the Premier, and, in addition to this, his impassioned eulogium upon that Right Hon. Baronet, would have satisfied auy dispassionate mind as to the intentions of the Hon. Member's colleague. Nevertheless, so blinded with their own perverseness were these self-legislators, that they -chuckled audibly in their club-rooms at the stumbling-block preparing for the Prime Minister, quoted the epistle addressed by the Mem ber for Stockport to the -tenant-farmers of Great Britain, and revelled in these fallacious notions even in the purlieus of Westminster. - On Friday night, however, Mr. CoEDEN, an the embodiment of the Anti- Corn-law League, as the symbol of the popular voice and of the popular will, snatched this last phantom of re demption from the reach of the plotectiOnists, and cast them for ever adrift amidst the -surge-of their own selfish disap pointment. His speech was a condensation of the opinions which have been battling in the Lower House during the pre vious twelve: nights: theT fallacies which were previously floating about haphazard,- without any recognisable shape, were in that oration - reduced to a concrete atom, a kind of existent nothingness. He was the political pentagraph with which the mammoth array of argument spreading over the past discussiOn was: reproduced in a ckar, sharp, and minia ture epitome.- As such Mr. COBDEN'S presence immediately before the Parliamentary tellers were introduced, was frought with extreme utility, since with the assistance of his clearjudg ment the Members were_ Enabled to take a common• sense review of the measure and its consequences directly betore recording their vote. Although - oppressed with the languor _ _ We are glad to seeiord LINCOLN has been put in nomina. tion for the northern - division of Nottinghamshire. If, as we fervently hope, his Lordship will be successful, it will be more than an- ordinary triumph. It will not only be a triumph for the principles of free trade, for the interests of the people, and for the Ministers who are now advocating those interests, it will be a well-earned tribute to the Noble Lord himself, who happens to be,the son of one of the most exclusive and arbitrary:of the whole exclusive race. Himself early imbued ..with the doctrines of intolerance, and recently a- member of a pro tectionist Government, has now, at the sacrifice of all party and personal consicterations, come boldly forward to proclaim the great principles of free_trade, to assert the rights of the people and the interests of commerce, with an eloquence and an energy that have taken_ all by surprise. The election of South Nottingham is remarkable as a striking example of the disgraceful spirit that, happily in !are instances, still pre vails. It is one of the list triumphs' of the evil genius whose funeral knell was rung en Friday night,—a triumph of - prejudice over principle of intimidation over conscience. Lord Lissom:sr was placed in a most trying situation; manfully - be stood the trial—gallantly he faced the danger. His conduct during the whole canvass elicited universal applause. His opponents found reason and argu ment useless, and reorted to every species of contumacy. They could not assail his- principles or his political cha racter, he defended them too efectually from their attacks; they turned their weapons in another direction, and repre sented him as an utdutiful son, a renegade and a Papist ! By such means they won their triumphs—by such means they deceived the ignorant, blinded the unwary, rnd led away even the well-meanhig and . the good. Had the whole truth been rightly understood, how different had been the issue I The conduct which earned for Lord LINCOLN these opprobrious titles in reality is deserving of the highest honour. Of the disgrace attending the epen contest between a father and son not one particle can fall on him. It cannot be said he " went against his father," because - that father had no right to be there. The Duke of NEWCASTLE may call himself a - constituent, but the law gives him no voice in. the matter. The question at issue was solely between Lord L'INCOPC and the electors, and if the Noble Duke chose to interfere, it he cam voluntarily for ward to oppose his sea, his- was the fault, and his be all the disgrace. It must have been a severe trial for the son of the Peer, and the representative of -the people; but the latter triumphed—weighed in the balance be was not found want ing. - He preferred the dictates of his own conscience to the commands of hil stern father—the good of the country to his personal welfare.: Yet; for this self-abnegation, this resolute sacrifice which in old times gained the name of heroism, Lord Luscpus has been bitterly reviled. Equally futile are the charges of apostacy which have been daringly brought forward; because he is appointed a visitor of May nooth College, it is inferred that he must be a Papist ! One of Mr. HILDTARD'S friends, endeavouring to win over an elector, urged this plea ; " then," ixclairaed the elector's wife, " the county magistrates must be lunatics, for they are visitors of the asylum," And such must have been the feelings of all who thought on the matter; but, unhappily, all could net, or 'would not think. Prejudice veiled the truth, the tenants obeyed their master, and after his strenuous exertions and unanswerable arguments, Lord Luecour was rejected ! rejected in spite of the justice of his cause. On Friday he took leave of his former constituents; his powerful and im pressive language affected. even his opponents. He acknow ledged his mortification ; but he was firm as ever. " I regret the issue,',' he exclaimed, "but I have no other regret. One consolation yet remains to me,—one that is able to cheer a man in the bitterest moment of his distress,—that can shed a - ray of comfort, on the darkest spot of his existence. I feel and know I have acted on this occasion froin a single motive, from a paramount sense of public duty. - Every interest of a private or personal nature would have Counselled me not to stand this contest, every thing of a selfish nature would have prompted me to take a .different course. ' I might, at this moment, be the repre sentative of - Soutb.Nottingham, I might retain your con fidence,-but my own conscience would smite me. I prefer this defeat, which now stings and pains me, than to have 'been returned for adopting a course that would not ad vance my country's interests." The electors of South , Nottingham - have rejected the representative whose only fault : consisted in preferring their interests to his own. It is left for the men of the north to repair 'the injury, to do honour to themselves by honour ing him: The very day after his rejection in the south Lord !

When, therefore, we remember that these opirilons have been mainly inculcated by one voice, and that voice COBDEN'S; when we remember that a vast moral revulsion in the cause of the people has been mainly produced by one man's exercise of rhetorical and argumentative powers—anti that" man, CoBDEN; when we remember that. the means of incalculable happiness to posterity as - well as to ourselves, have been mainly rescued from monopoly by one bold and Vigorous champion—and that champion Conn's—surely, for - once, even the most bigoted should not liecOme niggard of commendation ; their generous and manly expressions of gratitude should be accorded to RICITABD COBDEN_ withciut stint in length or eartnettness.

TO THREE. . _ There was no change at Liverpool on Saturday in the Cotton Mar ket. Sales, 4,000 bales, aitto the trade. Railway Shares were heavy. There has been a very full attendance of the merchants and others, in the places of public resort, and business wears appearances of improvement not to be mistaken. An increased amount of produce has been announced for sale. Should the corn question Bill be passed by the House of Lords (it is held to be certain as respects the House of Commons), the most san guine merchant, who has favoured the great principle of free trade, will be Short of the mark as to the approaching revival in the trades with the continent- and elsewhere. In the meantime it may be expected that some partieA will be placed in difficulties. Indeed, there are one or two addi tional firms " talked of." But until an authorised netificallon of the fact of suspension is given, it - is not the duty of the " City touts spondent " of any -paper, to give -hints, whether direct, or indirect. The mostsanguine-expectations are entertained here as to the future condition of the cotton and the woollen manufactures. The stocks of cotton at Liverpool are larger, and the consumers. generally speak ing, are and must be steady and regular buyers for a considerable time to come. By the Washington, advicea have come to hand one day later from Boston. There is nothing- new to report connected with the Oregon debate in - the American Legislature, if we except the con tents of one letter. It is stated in this communication, that in all the agricultural sections of the Republic, the prospect of a repeal of the British corn-laws has had a most decided influence in checking the ..- war-cry on the "paltry Oregon questionl as our correspondent calls it.

CORN EXCHANGE.--(MONDAY.) The past week's arrivals ofWheat of home produce, coastwise, as well as by laud carriage and sample, were on a very limited scale, though of fair average quality. Of itll other English grain the receipts were, comparatively speaking, small. Frbm Ireland and Scotland the sup plies of Oats and ether grani were Short ; hitt of Foreign' Wheat the import was seasonably good= viz., about 12,500 quarters, the whole of which passed hatclhe bonded warehouses. Fresh up, the supply of English 'Wheat Nom Essex and" Cambridgeshire was somewhat more extensive tisari was reported oh this day se'nnight ; neverthe less it was by no mans extensive." though of fair average quality. The stands being rather scantily filled with samples of both Red and White, and the attendance Of both town and country buyers on the increase, the demand for - all kinds of English Wheat was steady at fully, but nt nothing - quotable beyond, the currencies obtained - on thit day gb'nnight, and' at which a good clearance was effeefed by the factors. The show of free foreign Wheat was again smitll ; yet, as theholders evinced no disposition to sell except at higherilgures;the actual amount of business doing in that description of pfoduce Was small. However, we may call the demand . for most qualities steady, and, in the sales effected, very fall prices were again realised, - especially for - the finest descriptions of white. For grain in - bond Mere was rather more inquiry, and prices were well supported in every instance. The stock of Wheat under lock new exceeds one million quarters ; of flour 600,000 cwt., nearly, or quite the whole a which' will be released for home consumption on the passing of the meastire now under -Legislative consideration. Notwithstanding several canoes of Barley were reported Nesh up this morning, - the nuinber of samples on offer was limited. For the finest malting quality we had a very steady demand, at fully last w e h h a e v e e n e n em now e o week's prices ; while the value of g rindin g and distilling sorts was well supported.
