Appa Sahib's removal from the Adawlutt, and the appropriation of a portion of hi, annual allowance to the liquidation of his just debts— addrnitted by his own statement to exceed the large sum of 175,000 rupees, and rapidlyincreasing." But we have General Lodwick's maturer opinion, after four years' additional experience. What said he in this house, during the former debate upon the Raja's case.— [Here Mr. Thompson quoted, from a printed report of the debate of 1840. The extract stated that General Lodwick could not find terms sufficiently strong to ex press his contempt of the character of the Raja, who had shown himself capable of the very worst crimes.] Yet this, continued Mr. Thompson, is the man you have selected to fill the place of him, whose character you yourselves describe, in the letter which you addressed to him in 1835, on the 29th of December : " Your Highness,—We have been highly gratified by the information from time to time transmitted to us by our Government, on the:subject of your Highness's exem plary fulfilment of the duties of that elevated situation in which it has pleased Providence to place you. " A course of conduct so suitable to your Highness's exalted station, and so well calculated to promote the prosperity of your dominions and the happiness of your people, as that which you have wisely and uniformly pursued, while it reflects the highest honour on your character, has imparted to our minds the feelings of un qualified satisfaction and pleasure. The liberality, also, which you have displayed, in executing at your own cost various public works of great utility, and which has so justly raised your reputation in the eyes of the princes and people of India, gives you an additional claim to our approbation, respect, and applause. " Impressed with these sentiments, the Court of Di rectors of the East India Company have unanimously re solved to transmit to you a sword, which will be pre sented to you through the Government of liombay, and which we trust you will receive with satisfaction, as a token of their high esteem and regard. " With sincere wishes for your health and prosperity, we subscribe ourselves, in the name of the Court, " Your Highness's most faithful friends, (Signed) "W. S. CLARKE, Chairman." Sir, may I not fitly say, " Look on this picture,and on this." But you say the Raja has subsequently proved himself a traitor. I ask—Where is the evidence c Ancl - where the . zeTai regard to trial, there lasteen none. Ile has been deni e d that which is granted to the most petty offender in this country. We have heard much of the Thija's guilt. We have the counts in his indict ment before us. We have what professes to be the evi dence of his guilt in our hands. We look at the charges. We admit their gravity. We do not ask that favour or clemency should be shown the accused. We only ask that the evidence shall be sufficient to sustain them ; and that the accused shall receive copies of the deposi tions against him—be confronted with his accusers—be permitted to cross-examine them, and be heard in expla nation and defence. How stands the matter with regard to the meanest delinquent in this country ? Take a case of assault and battery, or petty larceny? There is the exa mination before an independent and impartial Magistrate. Counsel is employed. Every witness is brought full into view—the evidence is sifted—the deponents are cross examined—the defence is heard. Copies of all deposi tions are furnished—the alleged offender is sent to take his trial. Then there is the Grand Jury, who may '.,g nore the bill=then the Petty Jury, who may be tihal lenged—then a Judge, independent even of the crown— then the eloquence of the pleader—then the exposition of the law—then the verdict of the Jury, and the pri soner has the benefit of the doubt. Thus are your own liberties guarded here. Has the Raja been fz - , treat e d ? You are forced to answer, No. To t:;15 hour he has had no trial. He has been ccetlemued unheard. Let me now put a few queries t , those who have given their sanction to the det h .:conement of the unfortunate Raja ; and let me, at "c"ne same time, state the grounds on which I put I_Lese questions. Did not the British Government, first violate the stipulations of the treaty of SePtea'eer 25, 1819, by depriving the Raja of his righ of sovereignty over certain Jagheers ? To prove that they did, I would, were the power with me, summon into Court the truly-illustrious framer of that treaty— that first of living Indian statesmen—the Hon. Mount stuart Elphinstone. I would also put into the witness box the timr successive Residents at the Raja's Court, all of them at this moment in England, and three of them in this Court,—Colonel Grant Duff, Major-General Briggs, General Robertson, and General Lodwick, Again, let me ask, if General Robertson did not, as early as the 31st of December, 1831, address a letter to the Bombay Government, infekming them that the Raja had to contend with :many enemies, particularly Bramins, in consequence of religious feuds, and the loss, on the part of these Hielloo priests, of their political power? On the commencement of proceedings against the Raja and his Minister, 'tld not the Bombay Government prevent the Raja, then accused of attempts.to weaken the alle giance of the native soldiers, from being assisted by cov:esel, or by his Vakeels, before the Commission then. 'pitting —a Commission composed altogether of British functionaries ? I shall here trouble the Court with an extract from the letter of Major-General Lodwick to the Court of Directors, commencing at the bottom of page 24 : " Early in the proceedings it became an important question how far the Raja should be made acquainted with the nature of the Commission. My colleagues urged me, as Resident, to request, or in other words, command his attendance in person, for by treaty he is bound to attend to the advice of the Resident on all oc casions. • • • " I objected, an d pr opose d th at the Commission, in a body, should wait upon his Highness ; and on this amendment being rejected, I entered a protest to the effect—' That as attending personally would tend to lower his dignity in the eyes of his subjects, I declined giving this ad v i ce t o th e R a j a , i n the character of Resi ' dent ; but that I would willi ng ly atten d hi m as one of the Commission, and offer him the option of attending personally, or by Vakeel or Counsel ;' adding that so long as his Highness was only under accusation, he could not be treated with too much attention or respect.' The point was referred for the decision of the Governor, who at once objected to his being assisted by Counsel." When the Supreme Government of I.idia had granted permission to Dr. Milne to assist the Raja, did not the Bombay Government secretly intercept their communi cations ? See the minute of the Governor of Bombay, subscribed by the Board, on page 277 of the first Blue Book, at the bottom ; also the grounds on which the Raja was altogether deprived of the benefit of Dr. Milne's advice : No 15,24 LONDON, FRIDAY, JUL Y l6, 1841.

The EXHIIIITIOS of the ROYAL ACADEMY is NOW THE RAILWAY SUN— (Prom the Spectator.) The Sun newspaper of yesterday had one of its sides occupied by a map of a ll t h e R a il wa ys completed, pro posed, and in progress throughout the kingdom ; the tracks of steam-vessels being also indicated. This map is really a useful as:well as curious addition to a news paper.;..and, together with th e s uccinct account of the various undertikings, and the forMation of the road ways, &c. will furnish lunch interesting information on the greatest wonder of modern times—steam locomotion —at a very cheap rate. The map, which is surrounded by a bordering o f ra irwity train:. is compiled by Mr. Wyld, the geographer, of Charing-cross ; and it is exe cuted by a new m o d e o f stereotyp i ng , p a tented by Mr. Woone t of Exete r , ca ll e d t h e G ypsogra phie it s nature : nature is not fully explained, but the engraver, we are told, draws upon a metal plate, and from his drawing a cast is taken, which is printed by the typographic press. This, moreover, is said to be the largest cast plate ever yet printed as letterpress. The Railway Sun is even the most amusing pap er o f t h e wee k ; the lines ofinter communication between the cities and towns of the em pire possessing far more interest than election-returns. THE RAJA OF SATTARA. portant documents. The writer places his opinion on record, after deep and laborious examination, after much anxiety, respecting the result of a disagreement with his colleagues upon an important matter, in a state of almost trembling reluctance. But he is urged to record his difference of opinion by a strong and overwhelming sense of honour and justice. These minutes, therefore, wear an aspect of solemn importance. They are not the production of secretaries, but the fruit of most anxious personal investigation and deliberation. Let us now turn to Mr. Shakespear's minute, Blue Book, page a3l. —" When we reflect on the utter want of basis (as far as we yet know) on which the plot could have been founded, the improbable manner in which the Brahmin (Untajee) commenced his seduction of the Soobadars, the total unworthiness of his evidence, the discrepancies between the stories first told by th e S oo b a d ars an d t h e i r subsequent depositions before the Commissioners, and the absurd terms in which the Raja is said to have an nounced to the Soobadars the signs of coming events, I confess I look in vain for anything tangible or solid, in the shape of proof, for my mind to rest upon. " I do not understand on what principle the Commis sioners, as stated in the ninth paragraph of their report, abstained from cross-questioning the native officers, as to the discrepancies in their original depositions com pared with those given before them. In all judicial in quiries much weight is justly attached to such compari sons, it being supposed that a witness is more likely to speak correctly when first examined, while particulars are fresh iu his memory, than after the lapse of time." A word upon this affair of cross-examination. General Lodwick, the Chairman of the Commission, is, I believe, in Court, I know not his person, and therefore cannot say ; but if he is, I thus publicly ask him if one of the per jured witnesses before that Commission did not wear the aspect of a most guilty man, refuse to be cross-ques tioned, and whether the Commission did not decide there upon that it was inexpedient to cross-examine the Soo. badars ?—(Hear, hear.) Let us now look at the unani. mitt'- of the Commissioners themselves. General Lod was one. -- -berms hear hisopittionr— " lam free to confess that my opinion of the evi dence adduced differed so widely from that of my col leagues that I had resolved upon giving a separate opi nion : but the proposal on their part to modify their sen ments so as to meet mine to a certain extent, and a con sideration of the dilemma in which Government would be- placed by any thing short of an unanimous opinion, overruled that first intention ; but so numerous and marked were the discrepancies in the evidence, much of which was but the evidence of accomplices still under re straint, and which could, therefore, only be taken as con fessions affecting those by whom they were respectively made, and so gross was the prevarication of Untajee, the chief of the plot, as well as chief informant, that I ex pressed, at the time, my conviction th a t f or an y p ur p ose of dethroning the Raja the proceedings of the Commis sion would be found by Government unavailing. But for my only act of sacrificing judgment to political ex pediency, these proceedings would have been quite in operative." Would, Sir, that the Gallant General had not sacrificed principle to expediency. But for his error he had made a noble atonement. Here, upon the floor of this Court, he has declared, with his hand upon his heart, that he reviews his conduct with deep self-reproach, and regards his acquiecence in the decision of his colleagues as the only act of his public life, the remembrance of which gives him pain. Oh that all the opponents of the Raja would do likewise. Let us now see what unanimity reigned at home- when the whole of the affairs were taken into con sideration after the dethronement of the Raja. Four teen out of the twenty-four Directors—no more—signed the minute approving the deed. Four of the rest dissented, Messrs. Tucker, Cotton, Shepherd, and one whose name I cannot mention till I have relieved my heart. Sir, you had amongst you the other day a man whom I never saw, but whose nobility and worth have come to my knowledge through the papers I hold in my hand. He was the worthy son of a worthy sire. The sire still lives, and, die when he will, he will live for ever deep in the affections of the people of India, whose friend and benefactor he is. Had his son survived, he would have caught the mantle of his father, and perpetuated all his virtues. He is gone—but being dead, yet speaketh in the pages of this book, which contains a public docu ment which will be his best monument; which, for the justice of its sentiments, the benevolence of its spirit, and its statesmanlike views, will rank with any record which this house contains. So much I have deemed it right to say respecting the Director you have lost in the person of the late Mr. John Forbes.—(Cheers.) He is one of the dissentients. lle shall characterize the proceedings against the Raja INDIA HOUSE.-THURSDAY. CONTRACTS FOR WARIOUS ARTICLES FOR HOS- OPEN.

Lyall, Esq. ' took the chair at twelve o'clock. The motion and amendment having been read by the Secretary, Mr. G. THOMPSON then rose and said—Sir, as no Hon. Proprietor seems disposed to offer himself at this mo went to the attention of the Court, I shall take advan tage of the opportunity afforded me of placing my sen timents before you. As one who has recently qualified himself for a seat in this body, I should not have pre sumed to take a prominent part in your discussions, had the question had reference to any domestic occurrence affecting parties present, or men who might appear on their own behalf ; but the case before us concerns a dis tant and helpless native of India, who is lying under the infliction of your tremendous power, and who makes his appeal to that sense.of justice, which he has been led to believe resides in British bosoms, and cannot be appealed to in vain, when a case of injury is submitted. I will candidly confess that it is the present case which has brought me amongst you ; and that I have been led to take my place in this Court, by a de sire to raise my feeble voice in behalf of one whom I firmly believe to be innocent of the charges brought against him, and on the strength of which . he is now an exile from his kingdom and his throne,—lying under the stigma of treason, and living upon the pension which is doled out to him from the revenues of the kingdom over which he was the hereditary Sovereign. Such and such only being the motives by which lam actuated, I ask permission to speak, and to speak freely. For all that, I shall say lam myself and alone answerable. If the ad vocate of the Ra..a, I am his unknown and unbought ad vocate. My name, if uttered in his ears, would be an unmeaning sound. I hope for nothing from his grati tude, as I fear nothing from the opposition or displea sure of those from whom I differ. etafid-hore in the language of ungarbled truth, for even-handed jus tice, convmeal that, however slow it may be in its ap proach, justice will be done at last.—(Hear, hear.) Sir, in now proceeding to bring before you still fur ther the contents of the papers you have placed in the hands of PrOprietors, I shall, as far as possible, avoid travelling over the ground which has been trodden by my predecessors in this debate. I shall not seek to augment the force of my case by using any of the evi dence already laid before you, but rather strive to select those points which have either escaped the observation of former speakers, or which they have found them selves unable to embrace, or which they have deemed unnecessary for the purpose of sustaining their several positions. But before Ido so, I must, however painful to my own feelingS, and however presumptuous it may appear in the eyes of any here, express my great sur prise at, and my deep and decided dissatisfaction with, the course which the Hon. the Deputy-Chairman, Sir James Law_,Lushington, thought proper to adopt yes terday, for the purpose, as it seemed to me, of checking the progress of free discussion in this Court, by telling us that the privilege we were then enjoying, if not most temperately used, we might— Here Mr. WEEDING rose, and expressed his wish to know if the Court would tolerate the Hon. Proprietor in the reading of a speech.-- 7 -(Cries of " Order, order," and " Go on.") • Mr. THOMPSON resumed.

As the railway is now paying a fair profit, which profit it may be confidently expected will be steadily and regularly in creased, and the calls on such new Shares are spread over a space of two years and a quarter, the present arrangement offers an unusual and most important mode of investment, at once securing to the holders 5/. per cent. on their money, with an opportunity of receiving the dividends in lieu thereof, whenever those dividends shall exceed the amount of the in terest. Applications for Shares to be made at the Company's offices, at Fleetwood-on-Wyre, Lancashire, and at No. 11, King William-street, London, on or before the 20th day of July next.

" One great cause of this evil is the prolixity of the written pleadings in a suit, which is generally begun by the plaintiff in his bill, very tediously telling his tale three times over. I know it is the opinion of that consummate equity Judge., Lord Cottenham, that a simple statement of the facts on which the plaintiff asks for equitable relief would be quite sufficient, and that the other parts of the bill are superfluous. " But, I believe that in various cases, when property is to be administered by the aid of the Court, bills and answers may be entirely dispensed with, and that upon a short petition there may at once be a reference to the Master. The time and expense thus saved in creditors' suits, and others of the same description, it would be difficult to calculate, without seeming exaggeration. " In these reforms I know that I shall have the warm and generous support of the bar. In the alterations I have been instrumental in introducing into the law of real property and the law of debtor and creditor in England, I was zealously seconded by all branches of the profession there, and here I may confidently look for equal intelligence and equal disinte restedness. man Permit me' to ask him if he ever called an Honourable Director to order for reading his speech, or any part of it?

By order of the Board. CAMPBELL JAMES DOWNER, Sec. 34, Bridge-street, Blackfriars. In the interval of Sir James Carnac's departure from this country and his arrival at Bombay, no evidence that could fairly be called trustworthy had been obtained.. Exposed, as the Raja was, to the schemes of persoils at once vindictive, interested, and ambitious—den,l e d of the support and assistance of his own servants, tut more particularly the favour of the Governrn.'At having been withdrawn from him, it was no marv e l that stories were coined as rapidly as they could be put into circulation. This, indeed, is the quality of all the evidence, from first to last, against the Raja ; and, unhappily the Go vernment of India; and the authorities at home, have been the dupes, whilst the Baja has been the victim, of such testimony." Again :—" N o fi c ti on was too gross .to obtain the implicit belief, and enjoy the elaborate vin dication of the Indian Governments, whilst the most unwearying ingenuity wove a web of intrigue, which caught in its capacious folds, and converted into accom plices, the great States of Europe, the Paella of Egypt, the venerable but insidious relic of Portuguese greatness at Goa, the deposed an d d epen d ent P rinces of India, the tribes of Arbustlian, the Baja of Nepaul, forsooth, and lastly, the maritime power of the Hubshee ! " Again :—" So far from leniency and moderation, the terms submitted to the Baja were most harsh and op pressive. They could have been accepted only by con scious guilt or a debased spirit ; but to a man who felt aggrieved, first by wrongs of which he had com pl a i ne d for years without redress, then by unjust charges ; and lastly, by the refusal of a fair trial, or any trial at all, it was a gross aggravation of the injuries inflicted upon him, to assume that he was guilty of ingratitude and treachery. The Raja's prompt and steady rejection of all terms, unless full op portunity had been given for the vindication of his cha racter, even though that rejection involved the forfeiture of his throne, is the strongest moral proof of the Raja's innocence, worthy of his high and ancient lineage, and of universal respect and admiration." Finally—" A mass of fiction, as I verily believe, consisting of letters not proved to be authentic, of seals and ciphers forged, of oral evidence obtained under every suspicion of undue influence, of partnerships contracted with bankers and false entries made in their books—every artifice, in short, that the great cunning, great ability, deep personal inte rest, and inveterate hatred of Ballajee Punt Natoo, and his ignoble instrument, Appa Sahib, could emp l oy, has been directed against the devoted Prince ; and these, on the other hand, have been assisted in their fatal effects by the weak credulity of every member of the two Go vernments abroad."

Elliotson, Kit. S. I John Rawson, Esq. John Griffith Frith, Esq. Jehn Riddell Stodart, Esq. Hunter Gordon, Eli. Clement Tabor, Esq. George Lungley, Esq. Joseph Thompson, Esq. This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tapes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directel and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state.

Also for the protection of such as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected against loss by Fire, in sums from 101. to 1001., by Quarterly Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 201. can be Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty included. The attention of tEe Public is particularly directed to this very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will henceforth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim of a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily have guarded. Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the office, 351, Strand, or to any of the Society's Agents.

DEPARTURE OF THE GREAT WESTERN.— BRISTOL, JULY 14, Three P. M.—(From our Correspon dent. ) The Great Western, Captain Hoskin, sailed from Kingroad at three o'clock this afternoon. She carries about ninety passengers, 50,0001. in specie, and a very f u ll cargo of goods. The London Morning papers of this day were received by express; and forwarded in the Great Western. W. R.P. James, Esq., a • gentleman attached to the American Lega tion, was a passenger in the Great Western, bearing im portant despatches from the American Consul for the United States Government. No. 39, ALBENIARLE•STREET, PICCADILLY, OPPOSITE THE YORK HOTEL, AND No. 76, KING WILLIAM STREET, ClTY.—Major.General Sir Howard Elphinstone begs leave to say that the Spectacles he has now had some time in use, have fully redeemed the assurance of the Messrs. S. and B. Solo mons as to their excellence, and having found so much comfort and advantage from their use, far preferable to every other kind of Glasses which he has been in the constant habit of making use of for a great number of years.-13, Norfolk-street, Par k-lane, the 6th of November, 1840.—General Browne Clayton feels desirous to ex. press the comfort and advantage he has derivcd at his advanced age of 70 years, and after two years' trial, from the use of Messrs. S. and B. Solomons' newly-invented Spectacles; their valuable invention fully merits the patronage they hare received of the Royal Family and so many individuals of high distinction, as well as of the nume. rous scientific and eminent medical practitioners.—London, Feb. 25th, 1841. Address, Addington Hall, Lancashire.—The Messrs. S. and B. Solomons' Invisible Operative Voice Conductor Sound Magnifiers, for deaf persons, is not the least perceptible, nor more uncomfortable than having a piece of wool in its place; they give immediate relief to old-standing extreme cases of deafness. No connexion with persons of the same name. A NEW SIIOAL DISCOVERED. The following is posted at Lloyd's:— " Barque Castries, from St. Lucia to London, sailed from thence 29th May, 1841. " On Sunday, 20th June, passed a shoal about half cable's length to the northward of the ship ; it appeared about the size of the quarter-deck, with sea•w'eed almost a wash with the water's edge ; the sea did not break. It is to be regretted that the weather would not permit the ship to be brought to to exa mine this startling danger. There is a shoal mentioned by Purdy, in his memoir of the Atlantic Ocean,' having been seen by a Spanish ship in 1769, in lat. 40. 26., and lon. 36. 5., which deviates from my calculation 19 miles S. and 42 miles E., and which places this dangerous rock in lat. 40. 45.

THE ROMANCE OF SWINDLING !---It is a little singular that, in this age of utility, the very antithesis of that attribute, namely, Romance, should have flung itself over therces and events never before thought susceptibie of it. One of the most popular romances of our day is the history of a celebrated highwayman, and now we have one of a t l eas t equa l literary pretensions on the subject of a notorious swindler of our own day—" James Hatfield"—who acquired an " European reputation" by carrying otf, and afterwards marrying, the celebrated Beauty of Buttermere. This remarkable feature of Hatfield's career is here male the leading theme of . a very amusing and exciting work, full of . action, incident, and cha racter, and to which a feature of singular novelty and attrac tion has been added, by introducing among the dramatis persona the three celebrated poets, Wordsworth, Southey, and Coleridge, who have rendered the localities of this novel the most classical ones of England. Several French agents have been sent to Eng land, in order to obtain information as to the system and management of the railroads in this country. lence us for &en Sir J. L. LUSIIINGTON rose to correct the Hon. Member. The - words" speedy," never fell from his lips. Mr. 'fuomi.sost—Most cheerfully do I retract the word, but must repeat, that the forfeiture of the power to discuss the political affairs of India was held in ter rorem over us, to put an end, as it seemed, to our discus sion altogether. Well, Sir, if it must be so, I for one am disposed to make an honest use of the power while it remains, and when this Court is closed against inquiry— when the fallen and the helpless may no longer make their grievances known here, I will still hope that else where an asylum for . justice will be found where the friends of humanity may meet, and find a more willing amlience.—(Hear, hear.) And, is it come to this, that this once popular and powerful Court is a nonentity ? that the members of it. must be the mute and grateful recipients of half-yearly dividends, or speak only to praise ?—must this body be tamed down into a soulless thing of speechless acquiescence—must quietly float like a lump of dead matter in the wake of directorial opinion ? or, venturing to speak out its thoughts, be threatened with a gag-law ?.—(Hear.) Be it so. On the day that such a law shall pass the death warrant of this Conipany will be drawn out, and soon after that law comes into operation the sentence will be signed, sealed, and delivered. Be assured, Sir, of one thing, in the hour that you proscribe discussion you an nihilate yourselves.—(Hear, hear.) I must here bestow a word of remark upon the speech of the Hon. Propri etor who closed the debate of yesterday, f a_ter occupy ing us for more than two hours. His object seemed to be truly a most generous one—to take under his espe cial patronage all the Indian authorities, from Mr. El phinstone's downwards. He bestowed on each and all the benefit of his rich and prodigal encomiums. Surely, Sir, Lord Auckland, yourself, and all the other great men who were made to adorn the long and brilliant ca talogue of Mr. Fielden, will feel that there is cause to be profoundly, unspeakably, and everlastingly grateful to the Hon. Member for the unqualified praise and com mendation, the adulation, and almost adoration of the gentleman, who sometimes appeared to be run out of breath in his search after terms of eulogy.—(Hear, hear.) He said he wanted thereby to secure a good night's rest ; and, indeed, if must have been ne cessary after hii energetic and most laborious exertion to do justice to the intellect, the virtue, the patriotism, and the pure disinterestedness of the Company at home, and their servants abroad. But, Sir, did this gentleman un dertake to reply to my Learned Friend who opened. this . debate ? Oh, no. He had other work to do. He had to build up the reputation of the Noble and Right . Hon. and powerful opponents of the Raja, and to justify the ruin of that Prince, not out of the contents of these papers so much as by raking into the history of the Raja from the year 1818. The Raja's prosecutors were mirrors of perfection, but as for the poor Raja, why, the Hon. Gentleman told us of the errors of his youth, of the sins of his riper years, and of all the tenderness of his Mahratta constitution. The firmness of the Raja was called obstinacy—the jealousy he had shown in defence of his honour, and his repeated protestations of ir.no cence, all this was a mere hypocritical denial of guilt, similar to the professions of a man at the gallows. His talent was cunning, his pretended loyalty covert treason; and, to sum up all, and justify every act committed against him, we were told he was ambitious. Yes— " Brutus says he was ambitious ; And Brutus is an honourable man : So are they all—all honourable men." But the Hon. Gentleman secured a good night's rest, and I suppose I must be atisfied. It has turned out as I anticipated. The question has been made to turn upon the personal character of the European actors in this drama. The Raja must be guilty, for Mr. Elphinstone is wise and prudent,:Lord Auckland is firm and saga cious—Sir James Carnac kind and generous, and the Directors upright and honourable. Granted that they are all this, the less had they to fear from inquiry—the more ought they to hava sought the light of day—the more ready to give the Raja all he ever asked--a fair, an open, and an impartial trial.—(Cheers.) Let me now congratulate the Learned Mover upon the com plexion and course of this debate. Up to this moment his luminous, temperate, and able speech; remains unan swered. Not a tittle of all that he has said has been disturbed—not an argument controverted—not a fact disproved—not an assertion contradicted. The Ho nourable the Deputy-Chairman's speech consisted principally of a number of authorities drawn from these books, against the Raja. Why, Sir, we knew that he had been pronounced guilty by these eminent men. What we wanted to know was, upon what evidence they had so pronounced him guilty, for all that we have here deserves no better names than those which it has re ceived from gentleman I shall presently quote. But what was the conclusion of the speech ?No evasion—no con sideration. Oh, Sir, I could not help thinking, while the Director stood before us, and while he was arguing so strongly and so ably, too, against the expediency of re consideration, that he might have borrowed from his own history (he will understand me) a splendid argu ment in favour of the course for which we are pleading, I thought upon the career—the honourable and bravo career of the Deputy-Chairman ; and it seemed to me that his gallant actions in the well-fought field, which have won for him distinguishing honours from his Bove vereign, and his present exalted and influential station, might be quoted as furnishing striking, memorable, and irrefragable proofs of the wisdom and justice, too, of re consideration, revision, and reversal. The Hon. Disco. tor may never again stand in need of the benefit of such a process, or I would venture to remind him of the couplet of the 'poet— " That mercy I to others show Such mercy show to me." —(Cheers.) Much stress has been laid upon the pre tended unaniMity of the authorities at home and abroad in the condemnation of the Raja. I must endeavour to dispel this delusion. There has been anything but uu 'Amity on this subject. There is anything but agreement in this Court at this moment. Let us go back to the commis sion which sat at Sattara. The evidence taken before that CommiSsion was sent to Calcutta ; and Ivas there unanimity in the Council of the Supreme Government ? No Sir. The first minute of dissent I shall quote is that of Mr. Shakespear, a man who all his life was accustomed to judicial investigation, and who possessed, in an eminent degree, an acute an d cautious mind. And respecting minutes of dissent, let me say that they are in my e y es we s t im. " But independently of his Highness's sufferings, we respectfully submit there are other grounds upon which the character of the British nation demands in.. quiry, with the view of ascertaining the principle of mo rality or justice by which it has elevated the present ruler of Sattara to a throne. The character of .Appa Sahib has been long known to your Honourable Court ; it has been commented upon by your Governor-General, particularly exposed by Major Sutherland in his sketches, and equally described by eneral Lodwick, previously- to those misunderstandings ;and lastly, be (Appa Sahib), acknowledged himself a conspirator, (against British power), to the same Colonel Ovans, who, as Sir James Carnac's informant, expressed a high opinion of this con fessed delinquent ; and notwithstanding General Lod wick's letters just referred to (which must stand amongst the Sattara papers), Colonel Ovans declares that, after a diligent search of these records, he fi n d s nothing against App.t Sahib's character ; --- ineonsisten c i es on l y equalled by the fact, that the secret agen c i es w hi ch ruled the destinies of these two brothers, who were held equally culpable in their alleged conspiracies against British power, had the effect of consigning the one from the throne of his ancestors to a prison, and of elevating the other from disreputable obscurity to a throne." We have better evidence still, however, in the shape of a letter from General Lodwick, to the Bombay Go vernment, in April, 1835. The followi ng is au extract : " I have to observe, that Appa Sahib has long been separated f rom his wife, who is a most respectable per son.

This is the Supreme Government. Now for the Bom bay authorities : " I have some doubts (says the Governor) of the expe diency of making this communication to Dr. Milne, since it will lead to his calling for the intercepted correspond ence, of which it would be highly undesirable he should, at the present time be aware." A few days after the following minute is entered "Dr. Milne may be informed that, under the iiistrue tions of the Governor General, and as a pensioner of the Honourable Company, he is to refrain from holding any communication, direct or indirect, with the Raja of Sat taro or with his agents."
