I love to notice, at a time like this, The bustle of the great metropolis A thousand indications meet the eye, As glad December's holiday draws nigh. A pleasing animation we may trace In every part of every marketplace. Nor can we find a spot but what is rife With animal and vegetable life. In every branch of business we discern A token of the holiday's return: In poulterers' shops the birds of various feather In goodly groans are hung and packed together ; While butchers with their tempting fat supply Give double boldness to their " What d'ye buy ?" Grocers in " greens," and those in " green and black," Amid this stir are never found to lack. The stationers, as Christmas-time draws nigh, New hooks display, attra 'live to the eye; And every railway station is a scene, Which proves that Christmas soon will intervene. " What next," cry Messrs. MOSES, "will you thus Conclude your sketch, without a word for US." Nay, Messrs. MOSES, don't imagine that 1 'Tis you alone that I've been aiming at. At such a time as this, I can't do less, Than eulogise your matchless CHRISTMAS DRESS. MOSES and SON, believe me, when I say, I highly value your superb display. You seem determined, with your rare attire, To pay due honour to the " good old sire." Such Trousers, Coats, and Vests, I never saw 1 I cease to wonder at the crowds you draw. Yours is the Warehouse, I am sure of that, At which to buy a splendid CHRISTMAS RAT. MOSES and SON, I must confess I wonder, Such Hats are sold at prices so much under. You seem resolved that we shall never lose In Christmas Hats, or CHRISTMAS BOOTS AND SHOES. My last new Wellingtons I bought of you, And better Boots I never wish to view ; Stylish, and firm in make, and soft to touch, I must confess that I admire them much; Nor do 1, MOSES, feel the least demur, In complimenting thus your CHRISTMAS FUR. Well may the ladies to your Warehouse fleck, And make selections from your varied stock ; And well may judging buyers daily see The value of your CHRISTMAS I'IOSIERY. I trust that Christmas, Eighteen Forty. eight Will make the cumber of your patrons great ; For in the quality of your display, And is your moderate price, you seem to say— " Al l may be well prepared for Christmas Day."

At a preliminary Meeting, held at the offices of Mr. 11. English, 25, Fleet-street, it was resolved — That a Company be formed, with a capital of 200,0001., divided into 20,000 shares, of 10/. each. That, in the first instance, the call be limited to Is. per share, as required by the Joint-Steck Companies Registration Act, and that the subscribers be not held responsible beyond the pa, ment of such sum, which, it is assumed, will be amply sufficient for the purpose of obtaining the most conclusive evidence of the practicability of adopting steam-carriages on common roads. That no shareholder be called upon to pay any sum whatever until a general meeting be held, when the views and reports of the projec tors will be laid before the meeting, and when they will have the op portunity of withdrawing from the Company, or paying the instal ment, as before provided. A Provisional Committee Is appointed, who will eonvene a meeting of the Shareholders on the whole of the Shares being subscribed for, when the call of Is. per share will be required. No expenses will be incurred beyond those absolutely necessary for determining the practicability of the object, and every informa tion will be afforded on application at the offices of the Honorary Se cretary. Application for shares, on the above terms—no sum being required until the whole of the shares are subscribed for, and then only is. per share, with an undertaking that no further liability is (incurred without the assent of the subscribing party—to be addressed to the Honorary Secretary, Mr. H.

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of N.. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this opper. malty of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the Herbary, High rate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to7the virtues of Mr. G.'s ftegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 11 s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, bat as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact - .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w drops en the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, maze 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 precinct of the most aromatic herbs and lowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases et neyous 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 off children's heads in a few appplicatiens. It used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—Sen amphlet o t testimonials.

REVIICW OF TII➢ WORE La'Mert on the Infirmities of Touth and Maturity.—" There are scenes in the drama of life which are acted with ne spectator but Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous• Happy the mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf into which such scenes must plunge him I In the book before as suck a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of philosepky and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally, upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy.

T H THE NICOLL : this is an abbreviation of the title given to a Patented Outer Coat, called " The Nicoll's Chlamys Paletot," the said curtailment being first suggested in the daily correspondence of the several Agents appointed under the above patent. and it will no doubt be generally adopted in preference to the name in full, through being more COnvenient to use. THERE is a double use and purpose in the NICOLL, or PATENT CHLAMTS PA LETOT, in other words, the same garment can be used as a warm winter Overcoat. and will look equally well as a light Paletot (used la walking, &c.). indeed, for the latter purpose it represents the popular and fashionable Registered Paletot, which, when it is desirable to form into a warm winter garment, the same is transformed into the Nicoll, by the simple addition of a wadded Interlining, which is in corporated with the lighter Coat in a most perfect and original manner ; this can be attached or detached without the least trouble to the wearer. A most moderate price is fixed for these two garments in one, viz., Three Guineas.

To these it is said profes sional men are mere susceptible than others, arising from study, and their otherwise general sedentary habits ; now should chose the morning atmosphere be mild or warm, and the latter part of the day cold, the Nicol M l is garMent that will provide for both contingencies. ERCHANTS, STOCK BROKERS, T O UNDERWRITERS, &c., going to or returning from the City, s also all others requiring a warm wrapper or overcoat morn • ing 3 and evenings, but whose bustling avocations during midday, by inducing a proper circulation of blood, the possession of a lighter Paletot would then be desirable, as much risk to bodily health is too often incurred by the warm coat being too suddenly thrown aside. 111 AI WAY TRAVELLERS pronounce the IL-11) NICOLL or PATENT CIILAMTS PALETOT to be indis pensable to their comfort upon a journey for the five following reasons:— First —lt is a warm overcoat. Secondly—lt can be converted into a light overcoat at the joerney's end. Thirdly—lf travelling by night (or even in the day-time) when an ordinary hat is irksome, a portion of the lining (which is perfectly concealed till required) can then be brought out, and by a ready and most simple contrivance, can be converted into a graceful cap or hood, Which effectually protects the head, ears, and neck from cold draughts of air. Fourthly —lt has a pocket protector, which, as its name would in dicate, preserves from loss the friliWay ticket er loose cask, &c. The last, thondli tilt least, important distinction presented by the Nicoll, beyond anything of its nature ever laid before the public, eonSists in its moderate price, viz.. Three Guineas (to which add half a guinea for the Chlamys Hood). Indeed, was not the s ale of t h ousan ds contemplated, Messrs. Nicoll would lose rather than be f a i r ly remunerated by the low prices quoted. MESSRS.

AGENTS for NICOLL S' PATENTS.—AII those Firms throughout the various parts of the United King. dem and the Colonies, who, up to the present time , have held a local Agency for the sale of the above Patentees' original and popular in- Tendon called the REGISTERED PALETOT, &c., will also hold the appointment for the sale of all the new Patents, subject to the usual conditions. Gentlemen, lion-Residents in the Metropolis, are constantly de siring that a mode of Self-measurement should be published, as also the addresses of the Country Agents. The first-named object can be easily effected by means of public Advertisement, as a descrip tion of the number of inches around chest and waist (taken under the coat) will alone suffice; but the names of all the Agents selling Nicolls' Patented Garments are too numerous, to be described through the same medium ; however, the address of the nearest shall be immediate l y forwarded upon application to Messrs. Nicoll's Counting House Department. The following Agents have a very large variety of the above goods always ready for inspection, viz. ; Messrs. Macdona, Moleswerth-street, Dublin. Messrs.

The said invention consists —Firstly, of a mode or modes of making or constructing Garments for various parts of the human body ; and, secondly, of a mode or modes of making or constructing Pockets and other such receptacles. The spirit of the Invention in the first part may be roughly described as the adaptation of the linings of outer Coats er Paletots, &c. to a separate Gar ment and p urpose ; and, in the second part, the Pockets er other such receptacles are protected by the apertures to the same, expanding to admit the hand, and im mediately collapsing upon its withdrawal. We also hereby give notice that we have assumed original and descriptive titles as our trade mark, whereby the said first and second parts of our invention may be always distinguished, that is to say the first part is styled " The Nicoll" (being the abbreviation of the full title of the Nicoll Chlarays Paletot), and the second part is called "The Patent Pocket Protector;" and further it is our in tention to apply to the High Court of Chancery for Injunctions to restrain, kc., and to employ all other legal means to prevent unau thorised' persons from applying either of these trade marks or terms to other articles, or selling or offering for sale any garment, &c., being an infringement of the said Patent, and by such acts tending to our injury and the deception of the public.

The CHAIRMAN stated that the Court had been made special in consequence of the following requisi• tion, which was read : " London, December 7, 1848. " To the Chairman and Directors of the East India Company. " llonourable Sirs,--We, the undersigned, Pro prietors of East India Stock, duly qualified by law, request that you will convene a Special General Court of Proprietors for the purpose of taking into conside ration the accompanying resolutions, and that you will be pleased to publish the same with this our re quisition.

September, 1819, ceded the territory of Sattara to the Raja of Sattara, his heirs and successors, in perpetual sovereignty ;' and having by the first article of a treaty concluded on the 4th of September, 1839, with Maharaj Shajee (commonly called Appa Sahib), solemnly confirmed that article, the East India Company cannot alienate the territory of Sattara from the rightful heir of the Raja of Sattara without a gross violation of public faith, and without shaking the confidence of the native powers of India in the stability of the trea ties into which they have entered with the said Company. " ' That the seizure of the Sattara territory by the - East India Company, in virtue of a construction ar bitrarily pit upon the said treaties by the stronger of the two contracting parties, would be a proceeding repugnant to every principle of justice, a breach of the law of nations, and calculated to cast a foul stain upon the character of that Company and the British Government.' " Jamas C. MELVILL, Secretary." THE RAJASHIP OF SATTARA. Mr. Lawia then rose, and addressed the Court as follows :—Sir, I regret to state to the Court that the Hon. Proprietor, Mr. Sullivan, whose name appears first in the list annexed to the resolution which is about to be submitted to the Court is unable to be present in consequence of the severe illness under which he is now suffering. I regret the circumstance most sincerely, not only on his own account, but for the sake of the important question - which is now about to come under consideration, and because we shall be deprived of the aid of his great talents accurate infor mation, strong and powerful elesuence, and that high position which he maintained in India as one of the most distinguished members of your service.— (Hear, hear.) Sir, the proposition involved in the resolution just read may be thus shortly stated—that the alienation of the Sattara state by the British Government and its annexation to our own ter ritories in India would be a proceeding in cotitravention of the plain terms of the treaty, against good faith, and a dishonour and stain on the British nation. That proposition depends obviously on the construction of two treaties ; the first entered into on the 25th of September, 1819, with Pertaub Shean, and the second entered into with his brother Appa Sahib, in 1839. But, sir, before I advert to the language of the treaty, I would admit at once in the outset (in order to disentangle the question from any confusion that might arise from the difference of opinion entertained on the guilt or innocence of the former Raja, Pertaub Shean), that that Prince, in con sequence of certain alleged acts of indiscretion, did forfeit all the rights which were secured to him by the original treaty. I say, sir, I admit that hypo thetic-41y, and for the sake of the argument, hut only hypothetically, f.r as to the innocence of Pertaub Shean, nothing can ever change my strong and solemn conviction upon that point. We are all, sir, aware of the fact, that on the deposal of Pertaub Shear], the East India Company transfer red the raj to his brother Appa Sahib ; that that event took place under a supplemental treaty, dated the 4th of September, 1839, the first provision of which confirmed all the articles of the treaty of 1819 with certain modifications. Those modifications merely affected the rights of certain jagheerdars, whose rights had been the sue jest of dispute between the 13ritish Government and the Raja of Sattara. All the other provisions of the treaty of 1819, with that exception, were left intact and unimpaired. It is manifest, then, that the treaty of 1819, defines the rights of Appa Sahib as they did those of Pertaub Shean. Now, sir, by the first article of the treaty of Sep tember, 1819, the territories of Sattara were ceded by the British Government to Pertaub Sheen, his heirs and successors, in perpetual sovereignty ; and the question is, what is the state, what is the extent of interest conferred and given by those expres sions to the Raja of Sattara. Those words are a translation of corresponding words in the Mah ratta treaty, and therefore for their force and meaning we must look to the expressions employed in that treaty. Now if we advert to that document we find that those words are expressed by the native terms " Furzund, Warris, and Koyam Mookam." The . first, " Furzund," imports children or sou's direct lineal issue ; the word " Warris" means heirs general; and the word "Koyam Mookam," as I understand, refers to a person who is substituted for another—a successor. We see, then, by referring to the Mahratta treaty, that the phrase made use of in the English translation, namely, " his heirs and successors," clearly and dis tinctly mean a cession of the Sattara territories to the Raja Pertaub Shean, his heirs lineal, and his heirs general, collateral, and that they also embrace and include, from the comprehensive terms used, an adopted child. Now, sir, whet are the facts ? Appa Sahib, the last Raja of Sattara, who was placed upon the throne by the East India Company, is now dead, leaving no direct issue—no son—but leaving an adopted child, and leaving also an heir general by blood, his nearest descendant. I contend, sir, that the adopted son is entitled to suc ceed, and that if there has been no adoption, or if that adoption should be held invalid in consequence of some informality, then I contend that the heir general of Appa Sahib is entitled to succeed as a matter of right under the treaty of September, 1819. I will addl..% myself shortly first to the question of adoption. It appears to me that the treaty of 1819 confers the right of adoption by its comprehensive terms. This is apparent if we con sider the position of the two contracting parties before the treaty was entered into. On the one hand we have an Hindoo Sovereign, whose dynasty had been continued and per petuated by adoption; and on the other band we have the Honourable Monntstuart Elphinstone acting as the representative of the British Government, a man deeply conversant with all 'Endo° usages, cus toms, and laws, who perfectly well knew that the law of adoption formed part of the law of inheritance of the Hindoos. Not only so, but he also well knew that the dynasty of Sevajee had been kept up and per petuated by the law of adoption; for I find in a letter of Mr. Elphinstone's to the Governor-General, written shortly after the treaty was entered into, and dated the 9 5 th of Oct ober, 1319, and which is contained in the Setters Papers—l find that he states that " Sahoo Raja was, on his death, in 1777 (he is here speaking of the lineage of the Sattara family), succeeded b y Sahoo, his adopted son, who was born of a remote branch of the family." L ookin g , then, at the relative position of these parties, and the knowledge that each of them possessed, is it not.the fair, just, and necessary inference that, by the general words ex pressed and made u se of in the treaty of 1819, the contracting parties intended that the right of adoption should be c onve 3 ed and given. If the British Government intended to exclude the right of adoption, was it not their duty, was it not incumbent upon them to have explained themselves, and to have expressed themselves explicitly, and in terms which could not be mistaken upon the subject ? If you look to the writers on the laws of nations you will see that they lay down this fundamental rule on the interpretation of treaties. I quote from Mattel's work, from the chapter on the interpretation of treaties :—" If he who could and ought to have explained himself clearly and fully has not done it, it is the w orse for hi m ; h e canno t be allowed to introduce subsequent restrictions which he has not ex pressed. This maxim i s founded on the common principles of honesty, for if it were otherwise, if it were competent to persons who had conveye d an d given to another any specific rights or privileges, after wards to turn round and say, 1 ,1 did not mean that,' or ' I want ,to exclude this, th a t, or th e o th er ,' the faith of treaties would be at once at an end, and [PRIcg SD. diplomacy Would become mere mockery and chicanery and he would be the Shiest diplomatist who carried on the affairs of his state with the greatest possible duplicity." Sir, it is objected by some who do not doubt that the terms of the treaty of 1819 are com prehensive enough to include the right of adoption, that the adoption in this case is not valid, because Appa Sahib had not the antecedent permission of the British Government. I beg, respectfully to say, that the permission was not necessary In this case, and for this reason, because Appa Sahib was an indepen dent Sovereign. I admit that the doctrine is ap plicable to jagheerdars and other inferior feudatories ; it existed as between the Raja, as an independent Sove reign, and his jagheerdars and feudatories, it exists as between the British Government and their jagheedars and feudatories—those subordinate dependents who now hold under the British Government by 'virtue of the conquests we have made, as they formerly held under the Peshwa, I have been unable to find—l do not think any one will be able to show an instance where that doctrine has been maintained as between the British Government and native independent sove reigns. Each is the lord paramount (if I may say so) in his own country, and his own province. But. sir, if it were admitted that the treaty of 1819 did not include the right of adoption, if it were ad mitted that the adoption were invalid in consequence of the permission not having been obtained, I ask what then—is not the next heir by blood entitled under the clear and distinct terms of the treaty ? What is there that can exclude the heir g eneral of Appa Sahib from succeeding to the raj. You have only to look at the words of the treaty itself which draws the distinctioh in terms you cannot mistake. The word " Furgund" points to children—the heirs lineal ; the word Warris," alludes to heirs general and collateral, and the words " Koyam Mookam" denotes (as is translated into English) successors. Can there be a doubt then that heirs general are en titled to succeed ? I apprehend not. But, sir, it is unnecessary for me to discuss this point, and for the best of all reasons, because the British Government itself—the East India Company—have put the same construction upon the treaty as the one I am con tending for. The British Government has admitted that. under the treaty of 1819, Appa Sahib was en titled to succeed, not as a lineal heir, but as the next in succession, the next heir general and collateral. Let me call your attention to some passages on this point in the minutes of Sir James Carnac and Sir Robert Grant, when acting as your re presentatives, and, of course their statement binds you. The British Government," says Sir James Carnac, "having no views of advantage or aggrandisement, has resolved to invest the brother and next in succes sion to the Raja with the Sovereignty of the Sattara state." Now, I ask, in what right as next in succes sion ? Not as lineal descendant, but as heir general, collateral under the treaty, for Appa Sahib was net the son but the brother of Pertaub Shean. Again, in another passage, Sir James Carnac observes, " There was only one person on whom the investiture could be conferred." (Sir James is here speaking of Appa Sahib.) For what reason, I ask, was he the only person on whom the investiture could be conferred ? Obviously because Sir James considered him to be the next heir entitled under the treaty. Again, Sir James Cameo remarks, " I know of no other family that can claim to succeed by hereditary right." By what hereditary right ? Not as deriving title under his brother Pertaub Shean, but as deriving title col laterally and under one person, who was the common ancestor of both Princes. Sir Robert Grant takes the same view and puts the same construction upon the treaty, and in rather stronger terms, rather more, if I may use the expression, pointedly and practically. In a minute of Sir Robert Grant, contained in the Setters Papers, at page 68, and in the thirteenth paragraph, you have these words. I will, however, first read the last sentence of the antecedent para graph. It is not unworthy of your notice. Sir R. Grant says, " I admit it is our sacred duty to keep down the expansions within the slowly progres sive boundary prescribed by actual and irresistible necessity. We ought not to snatch with eagerness at occasions of aggrandising our power or extending our territory, still less to seek or create them, or we shall almost unavoidably be hurried into acts of in justice and cruelty." And then he goes on in the 13th paragraph, as follows—" Without reference, however, to the general considerations on which I have touched, there are particular circumstances which would make it difficult for us to appropriate the Sattara territory to ourselves. The Raja himself Is guilty, but there is no evidence of guilt on the part of Ms brother or his cousin, who, atter him, are in the immediate line of succession." Now, here is not a mere abstract opinion on the treaty, but one applied to the facts; he tells you that the brother and the cousin are entitled to succeed after Pertaub Shean. Again, in another passage in the 911 paragraph of his minute, d .ted Sept. 22, 1837, Sir Robert Grant, adverting to the subject of succession, says, " The question as to Ballajee Serraputte, which Colonel Ovens discusses in the 12th and four following para graphs is, in my opinion, far more doubtful ; he is the near relation of the Raja, and, supposing the Raja and the Raja's brother set aside, the proper re presentative of the family." We have, then, in the above extracts I have read to you, shown the con struction of the British Government itself on the treaty of 1819, at that time, clearly admitting that the person next in succession, that the person entitled, under the terms of the treaty, to succeed was not confined to lineal descendants, nor to the immediate issue of the person in possession, but embraced and included heirs collateral and heirs general. Now, sir, is it possible to believe the Court will adopt another construction—is it possible to believe that the Court will deny, or repudiate, its own words ? Shall it be said that when certain motives and views did not actuate them; when they were not bent on acquisition of territory,they put one con struction on the treaty, but when their motives and views changed—when extension of territory became their object—then, in order to carry those views and that object into effect, and for their personal benefit and aggrandisement they adapted another construc tion, which they found more convenient ? Sir, it appears to me that the case of the Raja of Sattara in this instance, with reference to the point now in dis cussion, Is, in fact, the case of all the native princes of India between whom and yourselves treaties of a similar character exist. If in this instance the right of adoption is denied, if in this instance the right of heirs general to succeed is repudiated, why, of course, it must be denied and repudiated in every other in stance. You had better at once proclaim the fact— you had better at once inform all the native princes of India who are bound to you by treaty, and let them know the worst, and not suf fer them to live and die under a delusion. Let them have an opportunity of understanding what their actual rights are, of knowing them,in order that they may be enabled, while living, to make some pro vision for their families and dependents, who, under this species of construction, must be consigned to misery, wretchedness, and degradation. Sir, it ap pears to me that the policy you are now pursuing, or rather which it appears is threatened to be pursued, is illiberal, selfish, and sordid; that it is a policy which is fraught with the greatest possible danger; teeming with apprehension, fear, and alarm—you ap pear to me as though you were treading on volcanic ground. The fire seems to me smouldering beneath you. It is a policy which has been repudiated by some of the ablest and most distinguished statesmen whom India has produced—men who thoroughly un derstand the relations which subsisted between the native states of India and the East India Company, and who well know what course of policy ought to be pursued as the best calculated to promote the welfare of both parties. Now, let me call your attention to what is said by Sir John Malcolm on the policy to be pursued towards native states -:--- " Considering as I do, from all my experience, that it is our policy to maintain as long as we possibly ca n all native states now existing, and through them , and by other means, to support and maintai n native chiefs and an aristocracy throughout the empire of India, I do think that every means should be used to avert what I should consider as one of the greatest political calamities in a political point of view that could arise to our empire, the whole of India becoming subject to our direct rule. Indi a ever h as and ever will abound in bold and ambitions men, and our danger from them will increase in proportion as our system shall destroy the princes and chiefs about whom many of the elements we have most to fear are now in repose." Mr. Elphinstone, than whom I need perhaps quote no higher authority on such subjects as these, says—" It appears to me to be our interest as well as our duty to use every means to preserve the allied Govern ments • it is also our interest to keep up the numbe r of independent powers ; their territories afford a re fuge to all those whom habits of war, intrigue, or depredation make them incapable of remaining quiet in ours. If the existence of independent powers give occasional employment to our armies, it is far from being a disadvantage." Sir, the high authority of the Duke of Wellington is not wanting on this point. I observe in a letter from his Grace (then Sir Arthur Wellesley) to Sir Thomas Munro, there is this passage—the illustrious Duke says : , " ♦RTEUR WELLESLEY TO SIR J MUNRO. " Aug. 20, 1800. " In my opinion the extension of our territory and influence has been greater than our messy Enid's, we have added to the number and description of—eerie— r , Mies, by depriving of employment those who heretofore found it in the service of Tippoo and of the Nizam Wherever we spread ourselves, particularly if we ag grandize ourselves at the expense of the Mahrattas, we increase. this evil. We throw out of employment and of means of existence, all wSe have hitherto ma naged the revenue, commanded or served in the armies, or have plundered the country. These people become additional enemies at the same time that by the exten sion of our territory our means of supporting our go vernment and of defending ourselves are proportionably decreased. Upon all questions of increase of territory these Considerations have much weight with me, and lam in general inclined to decide that we have enough; as much, at least, if not more than we can defend." I quote the above from Mr. Gleig's life of Sir T. Munro. To these I would add the authority of Mr. Edmun stone, a distinguished servant of the Company, whose opinion upon one branch of this case the majority of the Court of Directors has implicitly followed, and, therefore, I conclude his views will have great weight with them. Mr. Edmunstone says—" Our dealings with native states has a tendency to create a ru cesq y for that gradual aggrandizement to which the annals of the world refer the dovrnfal of every mighty em pire." Sir, there is one more authority which appears to me a very appropriate one to those I have ad.iueed. Lord Minto, in speaking on the subject of taking pes session of Travancore, which was then in CCM templation, says—" I feel at the tame time a strong repugnance, upon grounds more general than those alreadystated, to assume the government of Travancore either as a tem porary or a permanent measure, so radical a change in the nature of our relation to that country, and so total a revolution in its own political state and con stitution, must be deemed by that people, and by every other native Government, equivalent to a con quest, as it would in truth be. It would be classed amongst those events which have created, and still justify the jealousy so prevalent in Asia, of the views with which we form our alliances, and would be especially regarded as a new example of the consequences to be apprehended from a subsidiary engagement with the British Government." Sir, these, I conceive, are great and important au thorities, which certainly ought to have considerable influence upon the Court in coming to a decision in this case—authorities, I will venture to say, which ought to have much greater influence on the Court than those anonymous letters which we see published from time to time in the public newspapers—those editorial articles, " leading articles" as they are called, which issue from time to time--(Hear, hear)—and the arrogance, flippancy, and assumption of which clearly show from what tainted source they proceed, and with what views they are written. Mr. FIELDER—Which of those do you mean? Mr. LEWIS—Sir, you may affix it to whom you please. Why, sir, should the grasping and aggran dising policy be any longer pursued ? The sound ness of the opinions to which I have adverted, and which are opposed to such a policy, has been verified by the experience of the last few years. It was in contravention of that policy that we invaded Affaghanistan, and what were the fruits of our invasion ? Defeat, dis aster, and unexampled suffering.—(Hear, hear.) The Chairman may smile, but I think he will not deny that was the melancholy result. It was in contra vention of that policy that we marched our armies in Sinde, took its capital, expelled its Princes, and desolated its country. What are the fruits of that invasion ? I believe, sir, I speak the truth when I say nothing but our finances loaded with debt--a debt constantly increasing—an unceasing drain upon our revenue, and, as far as we know, likely to continue for years to come. And what has been the further result of acting in contravention of that policy ? This last invasion of Sinde has led, as might have been expected, to other evils. It has brought us in collision with the Seikh nation. It is true, that they were the aggressors in this case, but it is equally true that your taking passes sion of Sinde, your assuming the attitude you did there, necessarily led them to be apprehensive and put them on their own defence. These are the fruits of that aggressive and selfish policy which would occupy every piece of ground in India, and rest satis fied with nothing short of universat dominion. Why should this policy, I repeat, be any longer persevered in ? Why should it be applied is the case of Sattara, a peaceful state in alliance with us at this moment ? What is there with reference to the Sattara state that can justify the application of that policy ? There is not a single circumstance to justify its alienation. You can adduce none. As far as the treaty is con cerned that establishes the right of the heirs general to succeed. There can be no question on that head. As far as this is a question of right there is nothing which can justify the invasion or occupation of the territories of Sattara. Can it be said that the inhabitants of that country , have appeared in arms against ua, or assumed an atti tude of annoyance and defied our authority? Cer tainly not ; they have not the power to do so. Is it that the country is misgoverned, and that anarchy and misrule prevail there, and you are afraid that the contagion will spread to your oo n provinces and taint them ? Certainly not. From the commencement the administration of Pertaub Sheen has been the subject of universal commendation by the East India Company and the British Government; the adminis tration also of Apra Sahib has met with the same commendation. From time to tme we have had his praises sounded in this Court by my friends Mr, Fielder and Mr. Weeding. We have been told, and no doubt it is true, and of course I join in the commendation, that the in human practice of Suttees was put dowr, that the transit duties were abolished, that commerce was left free and unfettered, that bridges were made, roads constructed, schools and asylums introduced, and every other improvement which civilization can, boast of. There is nothing, therefore, on the ground. of the misgovernment of the country that can justify your invasion of those territories. What is it then ? Do the people themselves wish any change ? have they petitioned you to introduce your rule there ? No, they are attached to their native institutions ; they are attached to their country; they are attached to their laws and to their Sovereign. All they ask is, that you should leave them alone in the enjoyment of the blessings they now possess under their own sys tem. They do not wish to be interfered with in any way. I ask, then, what pretext is there—what shadow of a shade of a pretext is there, that you should interfere in the concerns of the Sattara state, or threaten to take possession of its territories ? Sir, this course of conduct appears to me to be one wholly unworthy the British Government and of a Christian nation. They are weak, they are, comparatively speaking, defenceless ; we are, on the other band, powerful, I had almost said we are omnipotent. What is the conduct we should pursue towards our weaker allies ? What should that weak ness beget in us ? A spirit of moderation, kindness, and regard. If they err, we should forgive them. If any questions of dispute arise between us depend ing on the doubtful constructions of treaties, we can aflbrd that the construction shall be given in their favour. We should seek to do them good, watch every opportunity to do them good, and endeavour to introduce into their respective countries all those advantages which we derive from a higher and more enlightened state of civilization. Sir, there is only one mode by which you will attach the natives of India to your Government, and that is, by pursuing a policy which is calculated to conciliate their affections. lam quite satisfied that it is upon this foundation alone that the stability of our empire in India must e d d e ot p np e eti n or d en . s.n_l l nc t tllin i en s awr u ,nh p i o ne n anr i i h nesn w e before grounds th that Court rsth for all in its ov a The Hon. Maacoaat LawlN, in seconding the re solution, said,—Sir, I r i se to second the resolution, and in doing so it is notm my intention to detai n the moreC ha o v u e rt in fo r r isingis than a minute. The chief object I toco complain of this court being made special, as it would appear to me, for the purpose of overwhelmin g a ll other business. In the case which the Honourable Gentleman has brought forward there are three points with regard to the terms of the treaty, with regard to which it is impossible that any one can entertain a doubt. With regard to the words " heirs general," it is impossible to doubt that it ap plies to the person who now claims. With regard to the adoption, it is impossible to doubt that by the treaty the late Raja had the right of adoption, and that he has adopted a son who, by the Hindoo law, is required to be a near relation. if this state is annexed to the British Governuent, of course to say that any thing like justice is done by its annexation, is to assert that which no man in his senses will dare to say. The CHAIRMAN then said—lt is not my intention to reply to the statements and arguments advanced as regards this case ; when the proper time arrives I shall be ready to express my opinion in regard to the appropriation of the Satara territory ; but, in fact, I am nut prepared for it now, and therefore shall not say a word in answer to the lion. Proprietor. I may state that the general question is sub judice. All the documents are before the directors, Sabo will duly consider them, I am sure, with every attentita to what is right and proper. I know they will act in consistency with the expressed opinion of this Court, that it is better to leave the matter at present in the hands of the executive whom the proprietors have no minated. All, therefore, I have to say is, that it will be in the recollection of the Court of Proprietors that, no longer ago than two or three months, a motion was made in substance precisely the same as this now be fore the Court of Proprietors. Under these circum stances, I am quite sure that I shall have the support of the Court in adopting the same course which was then taken—moving the adjournment of the Court. That is the course which was pursued on that occa sion, and certainly should again be followed, now the matter is under the consideration of the Court of Directors. I therefore move that this Court du now Amis.
