RVENING SUN. D (FROM OUR PARIS CORRESPONDENT.) s "th PARIS JUL 18 1 1 The rincipal talk of the week in e r ' , 84 *— P • renal capital has turned upen the events of Toulouse, ich, though they Its may Le regarded as c i rcums t a nce s of on ly a iftel . nature, by politicians in other countries, are of serious Portanc e in this. The Government has, throughout the niatter been decidedly in the wrong. M. Humann, the Inance Minister, found himself dreadfully hampered on coming Int° office with the enormous deficit which the expenses of the Tortifications, and that most atrocious of all humbugging de tWerio. Gouvernement a bon marche, as interpreted by the of despot at pi esent on the throne of France, and the swarms has his needy retainers vhom, since the Revolution of 1830, he raised into opulence. This defiit amounts, as is wl u°l ‘ 4l , and a s the returns produced in c the Chamber of Peer el s this Session showed, to nearly one th o us an d m illi ons o f f rancs , Le,raeet w hi ch there is not a single sou, except what can be ra"vdotier.ly.the y intended loan (.450 millions, or not half the re retred a mo w -en — t) and from f res h t axes . N ow th e Ch am b ers h ave fresh taxe s , an d th e G overnment k new we ll t h at i t i„as of an • ato use asking for any. M. Humana, therefore, is bring *ward his Budget of Ways and Means, gave it to be mi . dltood that he should use all possible measures for making the k z" as productive as possible. A good occasion presented itself , . lelthe taking of the census, for by making the population ores of the larger towns rather larger than they had hitherto ?een, a. provision of the law would be laid hold of for increas ,-.:,-!ng !heir proportional rate of taxes. Thus a town of 28,000 s , abuts does t no pay such heavy proportional tax on cer '" articles, as one of 30,000, and by including in the fixed I,serqmeers of the population, the floating numbers, such as the r ig, the patients from the adjacent districts in the cen : "ospitttl, the p u pil s f rom t h e country i n the town schools, th e., it ;vas obviously an easy matter to swell the population to bombers reqeired for the purposes of the Treasury. Thus 14° n eed should be, an extra regiment or two could b e marc h e d • -any town, the population of which might be a thou ., sand Or two under the mark, and up would go the return, down would come the tax-gatherers. This was a To,,,atalle expedient, quite worthy of the Charte-verite people ~,lthey had also got another, and that was to get the tax '''erers, and verifiers to be authorized to help the persons Iletnployed to take the census, on pretence that the latter are utiut ainnerous enough; and thus by letting these lynx-eyed re , of the Treasury into each man's castellum, a golden op ""enity would be afforded of looking over all the num ," of windows, doors, furniture, &c., and thus of giving i' r eund for an augmentation an the direct taxes. These "_taa nce uvres were alm os t i mme di ate l y d etected i n the various fir)o v ineial towns, and met with a stout opposition, when, ii k at !gh the Government did not expect it, there was most nu 'y to be a solid objection to anything that should become a itilejtion affecting the plus or minus of the pockets —we mean the municipal Councils. The tradesmen and manufacturers • b u P°sing these bodies. would, of couse, be the mst affected again st increase of taxes : and thus at once set o their faces Humann's sc h emes w i t h muc h resolution. C;r'noble Nra‘ the first town to set the example—it was followed bvbY A2arseilles-, and most of the towns in the South of France— more '"tresburg and others in the East—by Caen and many s oh ,, in the North—and last, not least, by Toulouse in the "11,`West. Here the municipality set themselves so strongly Ivgettriest these s h a bby wa y s o f p i c ki ng t h e i r pockets, which el 'lsi not i n accor d ance w i t h t h e positive stipulations of the fisc a l et a , ~s ( le that M.

Th e resu l t o f t hi s measure has been r ic i ri; the auth or iti es o f T ou l ouse re f use d to act un d er him, th re 'igned their offices. The people, indirectly encouraged eir example, expressed their indignation in a louder and to 5 Plain-spoke n manner. M.

Enough has been said to prove the existence of slavery in its most degrading and atrocious forms, in British India ; and to show that its kindred abomination, the slave-trade, prevails to an - • enormous extent as a consequence of its existence. It is also clear that the foreign branch of it is marked with the usual revolting features of the African slave-trade, of which it forms a part, with the additional enormity, that mutilated individuals are required by the voluptuous Asiatics to watch over their harems, and that the home branch of it is associated with all that is debasing in idolatry, and cruel in murder.—Foreign Journal. DEPRESSION OF TRADE AT GLOUCESTER.- Upon no occasion scarcely since our city has become a port has there been such a general depression of trade as that which has existed here for the last six weeks. Busi- 'CAUSE Or 'THE RIOTS AT f INSPECTION OF THE ROYAL TOULOUSE. I _ ARTILLERY. WotiLWittli JULY l9,—The annualinspection of the Royal Regiment of Artillery took place to-day at the garrison at Woolwich. Shortly after nine o'clock, A.M. the Royal Horse Artillery and the field-batteries assembled on the Common in heavy marching order, and received Lieut.-General Lord Bloomfield, G.C.B. and G.C. H. on his arrival with the usual salute. His Lordship was attended by his staff, and he minutely examined the whole of the men, and expressed himself highly pleased with their excellent appearance. At the conclusion of the inspection of the Royal Horse Artillery, Lord Bloomfield presented a silver medal to Farrier Major William Seaker of that branch of the service, and in the kindest manner stated, that he always felt the greatest pleasure in having to reward meritorious soldiers for their good conduct during the period they were engaged in her Majesty's service and in the service of their country. Wm. Soaker, in addition to the medal, will, agreeably to Art. 49 of the regulations for pensioning soldiers of the Ordnance Military Corps, receive a gratuity of lb/. besides the usual rate of pension to which his services entitle him. The Commandant, on his return from the Common, exa mined all the barracks and internal arrangements of the garri son, with which he expressed himself well pleased. At three o'clock the whole of the Foot Artilery assembled on the Common, under the command of Colonel Lacy, and the Ist battalion under Lieut.-Colonel Walker; the 2d batta lion, Lieut.-Colonel Blachely ; the 3d battalion, Lieut.-Colonel Jackson ; the 4th battalion, Lieut.-Colonel abine ' • the sth battalion, Lieut.-Colonel Cruthenden ; the 6th battalion, Lieut.-Colonel Hunt; the 7th battalion, Lieut.-Colonel Bran- . dreth ; the Bth battalion, Major Sweeting ; the 9th, Captain Palmer, the two latter being temporary appointments. The men were formed into battalions, and his Lordship passed along each of them, and made a minute examination, receiving from each Commanding Officer a report of the state of his battalion. Several of the Non-commissioned Officers entitled to medals and gratuities were present in plain clothes, and were called in front of their respective battalions to receive the medals from the hands of his Lordship, who on each occasion addressed them in the kindest mariner. His Lordship afterwards pro ceeded along the whole line, and at ten minutes past four the men marched back to their barracks, having by their general appearance given great satisfaction. DEATH OF SIR THOMAS STRANGE.—Sir Thomas, who has for some months past been residing at St. Leonard's, died on Friday, at the advanced age of 83 years. The deceased, who was second son of the late Robert Strange, was married first, in 1797, to the second daughter of Sir R. Anstruther, Bart., of Balcaskie, and secondly, in 1806, to the second daughter of Sir William Burroughs, of Castle Bagshaw, county Cavan (baronetcy extinct). He was called to the bar in 1785, and was Chief Justice of Nova Scotia from 1791 to 1796, and was Recorder, and afterwards Chief Justice, of Ma dras for 18 years. He received the order of knighthood on being appointed to the latter judicial situation. THE LATE RIGHT HON. THOMAS P. Couit- TEmAr.—The funeral of the above highly respected gentleman took place on Thursday last, when his mortal remains were de posited in the family vault in Pewderham Church, Devon. The funeral was quite private, the unfortunate death of the Right Hon. Gentleman having cast so deep a gloom over the Devon family, that several months will elapse before their affliction can be dispelled. The Earl of Devon, Lord Courtenay, M.P., and Mr. Courteng, eldest son of the deceased, and other mem bers of the family, attended the obsequies of their revered relative. DEATH OF LORD FEVERSHAM.—We have to record the demise of the above Peer, who expired at his mansion, in Arlington-street, on Friday last, after a short ill ' ness. The late Charles Duncombe, second Baron Feversham, • of Duncombe Park, county of York, in the peerage of the United Kingdom, was born December 5, 1764, married Sep tember 24, 1795, Lady Charlotte Legge, only daughter of William, second Earl of Dartmouth, by whom he had issue twelve children, six of whom survive their lamented parent— namely, the Hon. William Duncombe, M.P. for the North Riding of Yorkshire (now Lord Feversham), born January 14, 1798, married December 18, 1823, Lady Louisa Stewart, third daughter of the late and sister of the present Earl of Galloway and Duchess of Marlborough, by whom his Lordship • has a numerous family ; the Hon. Frances, born June, 1802, and married May 31, 1832, Sir Thomas Digby Legard, Bart. ; the Hon. Captain Arthur Duncombe, R.N., M.P. for East Retford, born Mareh 24, 1806, and married Miss D. Field, daughter of the late Mr. John Wilmer Field; the Hon. Louisa, born Nov. 16, 1807, and married to the Earl of Eldon in 1831 ; the Hon. and Rev. Augustus Duncombe, born Nov. 2, 1814, and married, in June last, Lady Elizabeth Douglas, daughter of the late Marquis of Queensberry ; and the Hon. Octavius Duncombe, born April 8, 1817, a Lieutenant in the Ist Life Guards. The late Lord was uncle of Thomas Slingsby Duncombe, M.P. for Finsbury. SINGULAR SUICIDE OF ONE OF MESSRS. DONKIN'S ENGlNEERS.—Yesterday an inquest was held be fore William Carter, Esq., the Coroner for Surrey, at the Royal Fort, Grange-road, Bermondsey, on the body of James Thompson, aged 48, who has been in the service of Messrs. Donkin for upwards of 20 years. The deceased was not ob served to leave the factory at the usual hour on Friday, but on Saturday morning, at five o'clock, he was found hanging in a secluded part of it, when the watchman went round at five o'clock. He was quite dead. On the beadle searching his pocket, a most extraordinary packet was found. It was addressed in pencil, To the whole World," and written over in all directions, and the following is a copy of it : " This is to certify I have served Messrs. H. Donkin and Co. faithfully since August, 1820. I bear no ill will to any man. God preserve my wife and unprotected children, and God have mercy on my soul. James Thompson. The Rev. Mr. Gib son, of Bermondsey Old Church, refused to baptise my son Alfred, but I hope some good man will." At another part of the paper was, " Success to Brunell." "To Mr. B. Hawes, Esq., M.P. You are a liberal man; if you will take the duty off tobacco, you will much oblige me. Jas. Thomp son." In another place was written, " Ha, ha; Money is power, and power is tyranny. The engine is off." The Co roner having referred to the nature of the case, the jury, with out hesitation, returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity." Viscountess Jocelyn has been on a visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle during the past week. it was her first visit since her nuptials, and the Queen has been pleased to present her with a very elegant cadeau, or present of brilliants, as an especial mark of her re gard. The Viscountess (then Lady Fanny Cowper) was one of the series of Court beauties who attended as maids of honour at the coronation, and it is also on this ac count (partaking somewhat of Court etiquette) that this valuable present has been made. Lord Jocelyn and his accomplished Lady will not leave for the Continent until after her Majesty's visit to Earl and Countess Cow per, at Pansanger, Herts. THE NATIONAL GALLERY.—During the last few days several pictures of first-rate class of art have been added to the national collection. The two Francais, pur- Ilased by Government for 3,500 L, are works of decided merit. They represent " The Virgin Mary and Infant John attended by Saints," and " Dead Christ supported by the Virgin, and attended by angels." They were originally in the Duke of Lucca's collection, ind were exhibited in Pall-mall-east, and afterwards sold by public auction by Mr. Phillips. A fine specimen - of the works of Pietro Perugino, " The Virgin with the Infant Saviour and St. John," is placed in the large room, having been purchased for 8001. from Mr. Beckford, in whose possesssion it had been for some time. There has also been lately added from Mr. Beckford's collection a Raffaelle, " St. Katharine," a Garofalo, and a Mazzolino de Ferrara. For these three 7,000 guineas have been paid, the Raffaelle being valued at 5,5001. of the money. A very acceptable present from Lady William Gordon has likewise been added to the collection. It is a beautiful study of five angels' heads, by Sir Joshua Reynolds, and is in a very excellent state, and replete with all the excellencies for which this master is so justly famed. STOP AT HOME.—The best women in the world are those who stop at home. Such is the opinion of the best judges, to wit, their husbands. The worst women are those who have no home, or who love all other places better ; such is the verdict of those who meet them abroad. A wife in the house is as indispen- Who can count up ie cases where poor fellows have been ruined by their POPULATION OF SALISBURY.—It appears by the Census just taken that the population of Salisbury, in. eluding the Close and the suburb of Fisherton Anger, is 5,231 males, and 6,482 females, forming a total of 11,713. By a comparison with the return made at the previous Census in 1831, we find that an increase of only 341 has taken place in the ten years; and that about two-thirds of this increase in the suburb of Fisherton alone. The number of inhabited houses, however, returned for the city is 60 more than the number in 1831; from which it would appear that the means and condition of the people improved, although their numbers have remained nearly THUGGEE.—From the depositions of some of these Thugs, who had been taken, we make the follow ing extracts:—" Gopaul—' I murdered, in company with a large gang of Thugs, eight travellers at Beloochepore, and took six of their children. I never had any other occupation.' Jewan—' I murdered four people at Kus seeagunge. " Six children of the murdered people were recoved. " Rhumba (a female)--` My husband ness of all descriptions seems literally suspended, and there are now, in the midst of summer, a far larger num ber of persons out of , employment than thcre were when the intense frost of last winter put a stop to inland navi gation. Tradesmen universally complain that their shops are unvisited by customers anti their wares can not be disposed of, whilst so destitute are the poor, that numbers of children are kept from the British and other schools and left to roam in idleness about the streets, because their parents cannot afford to pay the small weekly sum charged for their education. We confess we see but little prospect of an immediate revival, and we are sorry to believe that our own neighbourhood is not a solitary instance of this gloomy state of things.—Glou ceiter Journal. _....- 9 n an yv Le choice a the ,r of a amen' e dent, le last a have Stock .Iharev. laud an d is hire of ell as s rough t is T rers '° -1 wort,- at 89 ) N .211.° c e ntS•t I 13; i,9ii; 15i ~ 10l ut ,k Ln3Pt"' enwich, t i l e rc— The ~stow ell 1 14: SUN _LONDON, TUESDAY.

The public is in anxious eypectation of the King's decision, which however cannot be doubtful. The next Govern ment Gazette will probv.bly give the particulars, unless it should be thought better not to publish the decision. In the night of the 3d of this month, the Rev. Francis Xaver Lusken, President of the Episcopal College, and the Senior of the Diocesay. Clergy of Hildesheirn, died in hat city. He was born at Paderbourn, on the 3d of February, 1750, and went in 1767 to Treves, to enter on his noviciate in the College of the Jesuits.

July 14; last two Sessions, twitted Lord John Russell with the humiliating circumstance, the Noble Lord was compelled to make a virtual admission of the justice of the charge by not adventuring a word in the way of denial or disclaimer. With a Ministry which could thus tamelysubmit to the indignity of being ope n ly, an d on repeated occasions, taunted with choosing to occupy this ingloriou s position, rather than to relinquish the patronage and the pay of office, it were impossible the coun try could have the slightest sympathy. And if and doubt had previously existed on the point, the result of the elections now concluded must have utterly and for ever dis pelled that doubt. Had Ministers only adhered to the princi ples which they professed when they first took possession of Downing-street, the popular support then so spontaneously and cordially accorded to them, would have preserved to them till the present hour the overwhelming majorities which crowned with success the various measures they brought forward in the earlier stages of their official career, and enabled them trium phantly to carry, without any dissolution of Parliament, those very anti- monopo l y measures, the bare announcement of which has proved f a t a l t o t h e i r Administration.

POST.—In England, Ireland, and Scotland the progress of Conservative principles has been marked by the positive trus ter of seats from Whig-Radicals to Conservatives, and marked still more strongly by the numbers polled for the two parties respectively at the different contested elections. In England the Conservatives have dispossessed their opponents of sixty. four seats, and been dispossessed by them of only thirty-two, leaving • a clear gain of thirty-two seats. In Ireland the Con servatives have dispossessed their opponents of ten seats, and have been dispossessed by them of only one, leaving a clear gain in Ireland far surpassing the most sanguine ex pectation, and the value of which it is impossible to overrate, of no less than seats. In Scotland the Conservatives have dispossessed their opponents of seven seats, and have been dis possessed by them of four, leaving a clear gain in this part of the United Kingdom of three seats. The gain in the three kingdoms is thus seen to be forty-four seats, equivalent to eighty-eight votes on a division; and in this summary we have given the Whig-Radical party credit for the permanent occu pation of the two seats for Thetford and the Cardigan boroughs, in respect to each of which there is a double return. Both the seats were occupied in the late Parliament by Whig-Radicals, so that the final result may prove a gain, and cannot prove a loss to the Conservative party. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. POST.--The news of the failure of the banking and loan contracting house of Geymuller and Co., of Vienna, as com municated through an extra edition of the Morning Post, came like a clap of thunder upon the City. This eminent firm had been considered wholly beyond the reach of any such vicis situde. The exchange houses here may suffer to some extent by the stoppage, but, otherwise, it is not thought likely to affect British interests very seriously. The liabilities of the party are understood to reach 600,0001. sterling. Before the event took place, a statement of their affairs was submitted by them to Messrs. Arnstein and Eskeles, Messrs. Rothschild, and other bankers at Vienna, but they were not i n d uce d to support the house. Subsequently to the suspension, however, when the panic became alarming, they came forward with six mil lions of florins (500,0001. sterling), which they offered to lend on easy terms on the deposit of the six per cent. State securi ties. This was done most likely as a matter of necessity, and to prevent the evil consequences that might arise to the lenders themselves in connection with the new loan. Confidence was partially, and only partially, restored at the date of the last advices. HERALD.---A considerable reaction has to be noticed in some of the Railway Shares, particularly in Great Westerns, which are 21 to 23, and the Half Shares Sit to 10i premium, being in one day a rise of about 51. per share. It may be doubted whether any material portion of this large advance be owing to an increase of demand for real investment on the part of the public. More probably it is the conse quence of a revival of that speculation which terminated so adversely for some of the parties on making up at the last settlement. If such be the fact it may perhaps find its level in something of the same sort of catas trophe hereafter, unless based upon a very substantial and so far unpublished increase in the traffic and money returns of the railway. It is probable however that it has been discovered there is no real foundation for the report in circulation, or at least to the extent, that in order fully to complete the works the Directors were still short of no less than 1,000,0001., after all the millions already expended, and which constitute it about the most costly railway in Great Britain. It was this report which assisted, with the state of the speculative account, in so seriously depressing the price of the shares. London and Bir mingham were 69 to 71, Gosport 2to 3 prerhium. Birming ham and Gloucester 42 to 40, North Midland 35 to 3, the Half shares 8% to 7%, Blackwall 9 3 / 4 to 1 4, Brighton 7 1 to 6 discount. South Western 544 to 5i per share. TIMES.—No little amusement will be caused among the jobbers, when it is known that the " shut-out" of the Stock Exchange have concentrated themselves into a distinct body, and have opened a regular market of their own, where they carry on their usual small transactions, which, although in fluenced in some degree by the general state of affairs in the Stock Exchange, seldom exceed operations for a few pounds or even shillings, and chiefly consist of speculations in those shares and stocks which are either at a very low ebb in the recognised markets, or have ceased to be objects of attention altogether, except among this particular class. The previous resorts of these persons were the leading entrances to the Stock Eashange, the rotunda of the Bank, and the area cf the Auction Mart, and it has been conjectured that their concentration is not really to be ascribed so much to an increase of prosperity, as to absolute necessity arising from the improvements carrying on in the City, which have completely excluded them from the chief of their old re sorts, which was Capel-court. It may be observed, that this newly united fraternity assume all the importance of their more opulent neighbours, for there is the same ceremony on entering the market, and a beadle in livery stands to take mes sages and names, evidently imbued with a sense of the dignity of office. SUN.—The Funds we”e exceedingly quiet to-day, and prices underwent no alteration worth specifying, being, however, still fires. Consols realized 89 3 to and for the Account 90 to a. The premium on Exchequer Bills did not vary, being marked still 14s. to 165.; and upon India Bonds it remained at 4s. to 6s. Bank Stock improved again slightly, viz., to 171; and East India Stock was fi rm at 249. The Reducd Three-and a-Half per Cents. were at 1991 to ; and the Three,per Cents. 1 at 90 to i f . The Foreign Bonds were generally rather higher to day. The accounts received to-day from Lisbon have excited some surprise in the minds of those who take an interest in the affairs of Portugal. The idea of the Government taxes being four millions sterling in arrear, shows the weakness of the Executive, and the lamentable 'position to which it is reduced, in having such ample funds withheld from it, though justlydue, and being therefore compelled to endure the stigma of having neglected to keep faith with its foreign creditors. The New Portuguese Five per Cents were at an advance to 30i and 31; the Active Spanish Bonds supported the rally of 20i to Mexican Stock was at 25i to 26*; and Colombian at In to 20, a slight improvement for each. Austrian Bonds were 101 steady at 104, Russian at 114, an d D utch Five per Cents. at 1 4. Shares were all better to-da. Backwall begin to lo o k u p again, having to-day rea li ze d 9i discount, Brighton were 6i to 7, Northern and Eastern 10 to Ili, Birmingham and Derby 43, and Ditto and Gloucester 41 discount. Great Western were 20 to 23, the New 9to 10, the Fifths 5i to 61 1 , the Lon don and Birmingham 71, the Thirds 22 to 22% the York and North Midland 24, and th e S ou th Western 16i premium. British North American Bank Shares were 4i, and National of Ireland ex• dividend 2i discount. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, MONDAY.—The Queen and Prince Albert took their accustomed walk this morning on the Terrace and Grounds of the Home Park. At five o'clock this afternoon her Majesty and the Queen of the Belgians (in a pony phaeton), and his Royal Highness Prince Albert (on horseback), rode out through Park-street and New-road, attended by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, and Hon. Miss Cavendish, Earl of Fingal], and General Goblet, in a carriage and four ; Colonel Buckley in a pony phaeton, and Coun tess Vilain XIV. in another pony phaeton ; Colonel Bouverie and Mr. George E. Anson being on horseback. Lord and Lady Robert Grosvenor took leave this morning. _ - - - Viscount Palmerston is expected this evening on a visit at the Castle. Mr. and Mrs. Harcourt, of St. Leonard's, and Colonel Richardson of the Royal Regiment of Horse Guards, will have the honour of joining the Royal Dinner party at the Castle this evening. The Princess Royal was taken her usual airing at half-past four o'clock this afternoon. The Duke de Brabant is somewhat better. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, ac companied by the Princesses Augusta and Mary of Cam bridge took an airing in the Parks, yesterday afternoon, in an open carriage. Despatches for Lord Sydenham, Governor of the Ca nadas, and also for the Governors of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, were sent off last evening from the Colo nial-office. The Right lion. R. Lalor Sheil has arrived in town. Despatches from Sir Lionel Smith, Governor of the Mauritius, were received yesterday at the Colonial office. about t o t i , e t i o n o g k a place a ll the way by the diligence of the Messageri cs B oya l es. leav A e L g o e n n d tl o e n m f a o n r Paris, named in G o r n a t n o v b i e l r l Granville, On arriving at Boulogne, and applying at the diligence office there to be carried on, he was informed there was no room. As his business was urgent, he hired a car riage, and travelled post to Paris. On his arrival he presented his account of the expenses of his journey, 246 fr. in all, to the coach-proprietors, and demanded payment, which was refused. Upon this he laid an action against them, which was heard before the Tri bunal of First Instance the day before yesterday. Th e main question in dispute was the hire of the carriage, which the proprietors declined to pay, on the ground that its amount, 100 fr., was greatly above what the con veyance would have cost had the traveller made use of the chaises every postmaster is bound by law to have in readiness for whoever may rtquire them. The reply to this was, that the repeated changes of carriage would have extended the journey to an inconvenient length of time, and defeated Mr. Granville's object in coming to Paris. The plea, however, was over-ruled by the Tribunal, which allowed the plaintiff only the charge fixed by the law for the postmaster's earl iages. The rest of the claim of Mr. Granville was awarded to him.—Paris paper. THE RAJA OF SATTARA. INDIA lIOUSE.-MONDAY. The Adjourned Meeting of the Proprietors again assembled at 12 o'clock, George Lyall, Esq., M.P., Chair man. The debate was resumed by Captain SHEPHERD, a Director.—He said the debate had now occupied so much time that he could scarcely expect it possible to find out any new topic, b ut he was an x i ous t o l ay before the Proprietors the grounds upon which he had in anether Court done all in his power to avert the calamity which they deplored. Much had already beeh said of the weakness of the evidence upon which the Raja had been deposed, but he could not help calling the attention of the Court to the fact that the most important witness, the one upon whose testimony most reliance had been placed, afterwards deposed that all he had said against the Raja was false— that he had borne false witness against him out of re venge. So also had the Brahmin who was the other principal witness ; he stated subsequently that he was :he sol e aut h or of the plot, and that all his former evi dence was false ; even the Commissioners themselves said he was one of the very worst ot characters. Yet these were in that Court merely termed discre pancies ; surely that was an abuse of the word. Another most material thing to be borne in mind was that the whole of the evidence, such as it was, was wholly ex parte, not one of the witnesses were al lowed to be cross-examined—(Hear, hear)—a thing that was wholly unknown and unheard of in this country. It was all ex parte, and many most important facts might be kept back because of there being no cross-examina don. Under such cixtumstances it was impossible for them to declare that they were convinced of the guilt of the Raja.—(Cheers.) The treatment he met with had been most unjust—he was denied the privilege which the meanest culprit in this country might demand as a right, In his opinion nothing could justify such harsh and un just conduct. The Raja was not allowed to see the evi dence given against him, nor was he allowed to call one single witness in his favour, or to rebut that given against him.—(Hear.) It was said that the Bombay Govern ment did not bring him to trial because it would lower and degrade the Raja in the eyes of his subjects ; but those who used that argument seemed to forget that the degradation had taken place—that there had been a sort of trial by the Commission. It was impossible for them to give credit to such a reason. Now, what was the al ternative held out to him ? They would not give him a fair trial because it would degrade him in the eyes of his subjects ; but they called upom him to acknowledge himself a traitor—if he failed or hesitated to do that he was to be deposed and banished. Nothing had caused him so much regret as that when Lord Auckland, Sir R. Grant, and the whole Council in India, recorded their opinion, that the Raja ought to be heard ; that wise re solve was departed from, merely because the Resident at Sattara said it would be inconvenient—that at the eleventh hour so evidently just . a course should have been departed from.—(Cheers.) He was unwilling to detain them by reading long extracts, but he was most anxious that it should be seen that he was not over-stating the case. He would therefore refer them to the minute of Sir H. Grant of the 31st May, 1838— " It will be asked, however, whether he is to be con demned without the opportunity of defending himself. The Raja has not been told of the evidence taken by Lieut.-Colonel Ovans, and undoubtedly has a right to be heard in his own vindication. I have never meant otherwise, although I do not think that he will vindicate himself successfully. In my minute of the 15th August, 1837, ' I am farther strongly of opinion, that before the case is conclusively disposed of, the Raja should be made acquainted with the fresh evidence which has been elicited against him, and should be allowed the oppor tunity of offering defence or explanation.' I repeat that opinion ; not meaning that there should be merely the form or farce of a trial, to be closed by a ready-made judgment, but that the defence should be fairly heard and impartially weighed. So far as this Government should be called to decide on that defence, it would be my honest endeavour to discharge my mind of all my previous opinions on the subject, and to judge the case as if I heard it for the:first time. But if it be thought that the Bombay Government is too strongly prepossessed with the guilt of the Raja to be placed in the chair of judgment over his Highness, let the Government of India constitute, in any manner which they think fittest, an impartial and competent judicature for the occasion." Could anything be stronger than that ? That was the opinion of Sir R. Grant. He would then refer them to that of Lord Auckland, in the last minute recorded by him upon that question. In a minute dated 29th December, 1838, his Lordship said— " The reasons urged by the Resident, and concurred in by the Governor in Council, are sufficient to satisfy me, that it would not be right to persevere in the course which I had previously recommended, and to present to the Raja a written statement of the charges and the proofs against him, calling upon him for a n answer . I t is anticipated by ie Resident, that this course would lay the Government open to such proceedings on the part of the Raja and his advisers, as could only lead to fresh embarrassments, and would, at the same time, expose every witness whose evidence has been given to cruel persecution. " The course which has been next recommended as open to the Government is, the suspension of the Raja from his functions of sovereignty, and the appointment of a commission to sit in judgment upon him. The sus : pension of a person so placed as is the Raja of Sattara,:, against whom a strong prima facie case has been established, and whose conduct appears from every re port to be unscrupulously vindictive;seems, in the event of a new trial to be decided upon, to be essential to the protection of witnesses, and to the fairness of proceeding. on the part of the accusation. Y e t th e measure would wear a harsh appearance, and be argued as a predeter mination to convict. Notwithstanding, however, these objections, it appears to be essential, as a preliminary to anyproceeding bearing the character of a final trial.' " I would, therefore, submit these observations, by the steam-packet now under preparation, for the imme diate orders of the Honourable Court,—requesting their attention to the opinions which I have indicated, and soliciting such instructions as may be deemed expedient to communicate, for the guidance of the Local Govern ment, on the points to which they relate, as well as on all others connected with the mode of trial—if a final trial should be judged proper—and with the policy to be observed, in the event of the Raja being found guilty. The Court may, if they deem it fit, forward their in structions direct, so as to save time, to the Governor-in- Council at Bombay, in whose anxiety, for a complete and early settlement of the question, they will, no d ou bt, fully participate." That affirmed positive proof that his Lordship thought there ought to be a trial of some kind or another, and that the ex parte inquiry was not sufficient. He had already alluded to the evidence given against the Raja, he would therefore only say that it was of such a nature that it must fail to convince any one whose mind was not prejudiced against the Raja. The sham treaty was so absurd that no one looking coolly at it, would for one moment believe it. It was quite clear, however, that Sir Robert Grant believed it, but that might be accounted for from the fact of their being at that time very considerable excitement in the west of India—probably he might be alarmed that the Russians were just about to land upon him. At the same time, in consequence of what had fallen from a Gallant Friend of his, he felt bound to say, that never did any man go to India with more pure intentions than Sir Robert Grant. —(Cheers.) General LODWICK begged to withdraw anything he had said to the contrary. Captain SHEPPARD was glad he had given his Gallant Friend an opportunity of explaining, for the remarks which had fallen from him had given him much pain. He bore testimony to the uprightness of his cha racter • but at the same time he felt bound t o d e p recate his conduct on that subject. He had treated the evidence as a lawyer in the Temple would have done ; but that was not the way in which Indian evidence. was to be looked at. His worthy friend, Mr. Tucker, to whose evidence and honour all would bow—(Hear hear)—had given them instances which had co m e under his own knowledge, where documents had been forged, and even seals affixed to them. There was no proof of guilt, but there was strong presumptive proof of the innocence of the Raja. It was made the strongest nnint against him, that he had Dr. Milne and numerous Vakeels in various parts. Now he thought that was conclusive proof of his innocence. Every one had agreed in saying that the Raja had great cleverness an d a bility. N ow he would ask would it be the act of a clever or an able man to make so many depositaries of such dangerous secrets ? Would it not rather be the act of a madman? What was his letter to Dr. Milne more than saying that he considered he had to complain of a great grievance, and he wished the Doctor to proceed to London and appeal on his behalf to the head authority for redress? Was that a proof of guilt? Nay, but was it not a convincing proof of innocence? Another strong proof of the fal lacy of the accusations, was the circumstance of the sham treaty with Goa—a treaty that would deeply im plicate the Portuguese Government there. Why, then, did not Don Manoel retain it ? Was it not extraordi nary that it should be entrusted to a native of India to carry about with him? Such a thing was improbable, for if the Raja were insane, Don Manuel was not. The whole matter was absurd. Why, two of the witnesses were persons who were actually flying from justice at the time—men who not only got money for their hatched stories, but procured their own safety. He would ask whether any Hon. Proprietor would call that a discre pancy? What would be thought of such evidence in this country? Again, was there ever such a thing seen as a publie document like the treaty being put up to auction? It waa a disgraceful proceeding, and was eventually knocked down at 400 rupees. Was not that ridiculous? Why the Raja would have given 40,000 for the document, had it been genuine. He felt ashamed and sorry that our Government should have entered into such a transaction, that they should have lowered themselves so far as to send emissaries all over the country.—(Hear, hear.) Such conduct would not, in his opinion, be justified, even if Russia was on the border d India. ; what then could be found to justify it now ? It was argued that the Raja must be guilty, be cause the Bombay Government were in his favour. True it was so at first, but when their conduct was found fault with by the Indian Government, they said their conduct, their character was at stake ; and from that moment they laid aside their former fair and honourable conduct, and all they did was for the purpose of clearing themselves. He would then come to the amnesty, and he must say that it was so drawn up that no man who was honest, no man who was innocent , could possibly agree t o it. Some persons had said that it did not involve a confes sion of guilt, but he begged to refer Hon. Proprietors to the account of the first interview the Governor, Si r J. R. Calmat!, had with the Raja. They would find it there stated— • " The Raja came to the interview accompanied by a small retinue. The interview was strictly private.. N o one was present on tilt. pri .7 for, by Li, own request, the only person . who came with him was ordered toleti,ye. Mr.-Anderson; ' Lieut.-Colonel Ovans, SETTLEMENT OF THE EASTERN QUESTION. REPLY OF MEHEMET ALI TO THE GRAND VIZIER, DATED 7 DJEMAMELEUXL, 1,257 . (JurzE . 25, 1841). I have had the honour to receive the letter of your High.. ness, which announced to me the sending, by the Councillor of State, Kiamil Effendi, to the Minister of Justice, Muhib Effendi, in mission here, charged to remit it to me, of an Im perial hatti scheriff, containing the following clauses :- 4‘ The Government of Egypt is confirmed to me with the power of transmitting it hereditarily to my male descendants from eldest son to eldest son. For the future, in case of the first becoming vacant the Government will pass to my male descendants from eldest son to eldest son, and the Sublime Porte will confirm their succession. " In the event of the male line becoming extinct, the male children of the daughters of my family will have no right to the succession. .4 The dispositions of the hatti scheriff of Gulhane, and of all he treaties concluded and to be concluded with friendly Powers, shall be fully executed in Egypt. The administrative laws, established and to be established in the empire shall be equally observed, with the modifications rendered necessary by local circumstances. All taxes, tithes, a n d revenues ra i sed in Egypt shall be raised in the name of his Highness, and ac cording to the equitable system adopted by the Sublime Porte. Care shall be taken to pay at the fixed periods the annual tri bute specified in another Imperial firman. The stock of grain and pulse which the Egyptian Government has been in the habit hitherto of sending annually to the two holy , ities (Mecca and Medina) shall be continued to be sent to them punctually. The very important regulation of the specie cur • rency being about to be fixed by the Sublime Porte so as to ad mit of no future variation in the standard, as well in ;respect to the alloy as to the nominal value of the coin, the gold and silver pieces which it permitted to me to be struck in Egypt in the name of his Highness shall be similar to those coined in the Imperial mint in every respect. As in time of peace 1t4,000 men suffice for the interior service of Egypt, that number shall not be exceeded only as the land and naval forces being destined for the services of the Sublime Porte they may be increased in time of war in the proportion which may be thought prop er . With respect to the duration of military service, the habits of the inhabitants of the country will be attended to as well as the principles of equity. The distinctive decorations and flags of the Egyptian .troops shall not differ from those of the other troops of the empire, and the distinctive decorations of the officers of the Egyptian navy, as well as the flags of their vessels, shall also be the same as those of Constantinople. " ' The nomination of theland and naval officers up to the rank of Colonel, inclusively, shall appertain to the Governors of Egypt, but these of a superior rank shall depend on the will of his Highness, whose orders shall be taken on the subject. The Government of Egypt will no longer build any ships of war without an express permission of the Sublime Porte.' " After having first rendered a thousand thanks for the sig nal benefit of which I was the object, I occupied myself to re ecive the hatti scheriff with marks of respect and suitable honours. A numerous cortege were to fetch and accompany it from the dwelling of Muhib Effendi to my palace. As soon as 1 perceived it I marched to meet it, filled with gratitude and veneration, and 1 received it in my hands and touched it with my lips respectfully. The above-named Minister having at tached to my breast the honourable decoration conferred upon me, the hatti scheriff was opened and read publicly before all the Ulemas, legal and religious chiefs, and all the servants of the Sublime Porte, who testified their joy and expressed a thousand thanks for the eternity of the empire and the dura tion of the glorious reign of his Highness. In order that all the subjects of his Highness might partake in the satisfac tion caused by such happy news, and in order that the prayers for the perpetuity of the empire might be general, I ordered at Alexandria reiterated salvoes of artillery both by land and by sea, and I ordered all the flags of the vessels to be hoisted. Cannon was also fired at Cairo, and other cities as a sign of rejoicing. Although my grateful efforts can never equal the favour granted by his Highness to this feeble vassal of his empire ; however happy and proud to consecrate the re mainder of my days to his august service, and certain, more over, to accomplish by that course a sacred duty, and to merit happiness in this world and in the next, I shall earnestly and honourably execute faithfully the conditions stipulated in the Imperial firman mentioned above ; as also, after me, my de scendants must find therein the universal rule of their conduct, and to become in their turn the vassals submitted to the Sub lime Porte; their only wish, like mine, should be to be able, at every time and place, to deserve the good graces of their Sovereign. "It is with these sentiments that this humble letter has been written by the return of the Minister mentioned above, who will have the honour to deliver it to your Highness. When it has been received, I beg that you will deign to obtain in my favour, however unworthy I may be of it, the continua tion of the ordinary goodness of his Highness and of yourself, to preserve for me your great and precious kindness." SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.--The Tories have been signally defeated in Banffshire after a severe contest, in which the Liberal party had to contend against the combined influences of the two powerful houses of Richmond and Seafield. His Grace of Richmond has played a very double part in this county, not by any means calculated to add to his laurels, or to make him more popular with his own tenantry or the independent farmers of Banffshire. His Grace gave a written assurance to Sir Alexander Duff that he would observe a strict neutrality in Banffshire, being desirous that his tenantry should exercise their franchise freely and conscientiously ' • but, notwithstanding that pledge, his factors have canvassed for Lord Reidhaven, the defeated Tory candidate, without intermission. The tenants, however, would not be coerced, and stood out like men, regardless of every effort to induce them to vote against their principles. This honourable conduct excited the fierce ire of the Tories, which they could not long conceal. Their hopes received new vigour after the nomination, by the tidings that the rising sun, the young heir of the Ducal coro net, my Lord March, was to come to the scene of action and lead on his followers in person to the poll. The young scion of the house of Richmond did accordingly appear at the Keith station, and left no stone unturned to induce the Richmond tenantry to vote for Lord Reidhaven ; but in spite of all his exertions, personal entreaty, threats and cajolery, these ho nest men were immoveable, and the great majority came boldly forward to his face and voted for Mr. Duff. Supported by the strength of sound Liberal opinions and popular enthusiasm, the house of Fife, single-handed, has defeated the two houses of Richmond and Seafield united in this county, and es tablished a rallying beacon besides in the adjoining county of Moray, which will enable the Liberals of that district to free themselves from the yoke of Toryism at the next election. The victory in Banff shire is of immense importance in this quarter. The sway of monopoly extends from Aberdeenshire to Caithness, and Banff shire is like an oasis in this cheerless desert. Nothing can ex ceed the dismay and disappointment of the Tories. They cal culated on a certain victory, and the small fry of Tory lairds were all at the polling-booth at Banff on the first day very early, full of freshness, and flushed with the hopes of coming triumph. As the expresses, however, arrived at intervals, from the two stations of Keith and Cullen, their countenances drooped, and bv four o'clock they had entirely vanished from the scene. The Laird of Haddo, the beaten candidate for the Elgin burghs, was an active partisan, and seemed to expect a com pensation for his own defeat in the town of Banff in the better luck of his friend in the county ; but he soon lowered his tone, and disappeared with the rest. The farmers of Banffshire are intelligent, shrewd agriculturists, and the family of Fife highly esteemed and popular with them. TIMES.—We are grieved to see, from various significant symptoms, that the Conservatives of Scotland are by no means in a good state of organization. Let us now tell them, if they are anxious for the maintenance of their principles, that they can do nothing to any purpose without the most systematic concert and cordial co-operation. Had the garrisons of Wig tonshire and Renfrew been sustained by a fitting commissariat and a proper complement of officers, they would never have been lost. The Stranraer estate, apart from its political value, was worth any man's purchase. In future, the Conservative gentry of such Scotch counties as are nearly balanced in party divisions, should keep a jealous eye and a joint-stock purse for all the disposable properties of any im portance that may happen to be exposed for sale. The differ ence between Mr. Blair and Captain Dalrymple was, as near as possible, thirteen votes ; the former counting upon 211 sup porters, leaving a majority of 20, or thereabouts. The latter candidate, having only 198 available pledges, was obviously sure of defeat. But in virtue of the desperate purchase of the Stranraer domain, obtained at the eleventh hour, the Whigs were put into a condition for commanding the votes of the pre cise number of electors necessary to insure their success. They therefore bought the estate, and carried the election. This is a salutary lesson to the Conservatives, which we trust will not be thrown away. ADVERTISER.—The more we reflect on the serious re verses which have recently befallen the Liberal cause, the more satisfied do we feel that the people of England have not, on the whole, any reason to regret those reverses.. Had the doom of the Melbourne Ministry, instead of being sud denly and irrevocably sealed, as it has been by the result of the late elections, been postponed for an indefinite, though in the nature of things no very protracted period, by the return of a small majority of Members in their favour, the pro bability is, judging from the past experience which the coun try bas had of that Ministry, that they would have persisted in that timid, truckling, compromising course of policy which has characterised their whole career, and thus have vir tually suffered the Tories, though sitting on the Opposition benches, to carry on the executive government of the country for several years to come. That such has been the anoma lous, and to the Whigs discreditable posture of affairs for three or four years past, is too notorious to be denied. Hence, when Sir Robert Peel, on several occasion 4 in the course of the and Mr. Willoughby, were present throughout this con ference. " I commenced by informing the Raja that I had anxiously and carefully considered the whole of the pro ceedings in his case, and had, in common with all other authorities to whom they had been submitted, become fully satisfied that, misled by evil counsellors mid los.v and interested advisers, he had, on three occasions, ma - nifested hostile intentions towards the British Govem ment. I reminded his Highness of the peculiar circuLl stances under which he was rescued from captivity, am I. invested by the British Government with the sovereignty over his present dominions : that this was a pure act of generosity on the part of the English Girnment, not founded in any right of possession, since; owing to the unprovoked hostility of the Peishwa, the whole of the Deccan had become ours by conquest, but simply from a feeling of consideration and compassion to himself and family, as the representatives of a fallen but once powerful dynasty ; that his Highness must be aware that, by the conduct he had pursued, he had for feited all the advantages which he had derived from the treaty of 1819, and in virtue of which he became the head of the Sattara State ; that, notwithstanding, the British Government were willing, on certain conditions, to bury the past in oblivion ; and that, at considerable personal inconvenience, I had come in person to Sattara, to endeavour to rescue himself and family from impend ing ruin. I informed the Baja that I was hi s sincere friend, and anx i ous l y desired to effect such an arrange ment as would restore friendly relations between the two States. Finally, I recalled to his recollection the warn ing long ago given to him by his friend, Mr. Elphinstone, against placing his trust and confidence in Vaheels and low and intriguing agents, and earnestly urged him to discard from his counsels the numerous agencies he had established, and entreated him not to throw away this the only opportunity which could be afforded to him, for becoming reconciled to the British Government; for that, he might rest assured, however much his agents might en deavour to persuade him to the contrary, that I had come invested with full powers to decide finally on all pending questions, and that the terms which I should offer to him had already been submitted to, and approved of by, the Governor-General of India, and that the home au thorities had placed the settlement of all these questions in my hands, consequently he might fully depend upon my having been vested with full powers. " During this address, which I delivered firmly but in conciliatory language, the Raja evinced a con siderable degree of impatience, and frequently inter rupted me by abrupt declarations that he had committed no breach of alliance. When I had concluded, he stated that he regarded me as his friend and well-wisher ; as serted that the accusations against him originated in the intrigues of his enemies ; that as long as the British Government entertained the idea that he had cherished hostile designs he could agree to nothing, but this idea being removed, he would agree to anything I proposed ; that he would consent to anything, except to abandon his religion or to acknowledge that he had been our enemy ; that he would receive my conditions, reply to them, and vindicate his conduct generally. Finally, he observed that if I had not leisure to attend to him per sonally. he could communicate what he had to say through the Resident. "In reply to this, I repeated my former observations, and said that I had come not to prolong, but to termi nate these discussions, which had now occupied a space of three years, and which had ended in satisfying the highest authorities, that his Highness had repeatedly violated the terms of the the treaty he had entered into with the British Government ; that, had I come to Sat- tam to inflict the penalty incurred by these violations of the Treaty of 1819, further inquiry might perhaps have been considered expedient, but that as I had come to overlook, and not to punish, this was quite unnecessary. The case, moreover, against his Highness having been established by a chain of evidence, both oral and docu mentary, which, from the manner and circumstances under which it was obtained, could not, in my opinion, by any possibility be materially shaken by any other evidence, and all that I should require from his Highness was, that henceforward he would act strictly and in good faith according to treaty with the British Government, and assent to two or three other conditions rendered necessary by the detection of his misconduct. These observations were at intervals supported by Mr. Anderson, who informed the Raja, that the evidence produced against him was so strong and convincing, that the highest authorities in India had, without exception, con curred in thinking that the penalty prescribed in the fifth article of the treaty should be en forced against him, and that he strongly advised his Highness to attend to the friendly suggestions of the Governor, who had come to Sattara to give him a second time the raj which he had justly forfeited. " It was with deep mortification and regret that I re marked that these observations produced no effect what ever on his Highness. In order, therefore, that he might at once become fully apprised of all the conditions of the proposed amnesty, I deemed it advisable to put into his hands a Mahratta memorandum, in which they had been embodied. Having perused this, and apparently with great earnestness, the Baja returned the memoran dum, and at once said he would not agree to my condi tions, asking me to mention what violations of the treaty he had been guilty of. He was then informed, that three important violations of the treaty had been proved against him : Ist. Of the fifth article, in having, during a series of years, held improper communications with the Goa authorities. " 2d. Of the same article, in having held a clandes tine intercourse with Appa Sahib, the ex-Raja of Nag pore. _ " 3d. Of having tampered with the native officers of the 23d Regiment of Native Infantry. The only observation made by his Highness related to the second of these charges, and was very remark able. My con v i c ti on being, that the Raja felt at the moment conscious of his guilt, I had stated that some of Appa Sahib's original letters had fallen into the hands of the British Government, and inquired whether he could deny the fact of those letters having been sent to him. He did not deny, as would have been natural on the supposition of innocence, but evaded a direct answer by observing, that The circumstance of re ceiving letters did not constitute guilt on the part of him who recived them. A. letter from a person does not establish guilt against the party to whom it is addressed. Where are my answers ? There is Mr. Anderson : lie may receive a letter ; but this would be no proof that he answered it, or that he committed any fault in receiv ing it.' I closed this conference by informing the Raja that the Resident would wait on him the following day, with a correct written statement of the conditions on which friendly relations between the two states could alone be restored, and that his Highness would he required to sign these, as a supplement of the Treaty of 1819. The Raja assented to receive the Resident ; and when he was about to take leave I again earnestly exhorted him seri ously to reflect on the consequences of his rejecting the very moderate terms offered for his acceptance, to discard the crowd of interested agents now in his confidence, and warned him that if he rejected my terms he could only blame himself for whatever might be the result. On step ping into his carriage the Raja made a kind of apology tier the discussion he hail occasioned ; but turning towards the Resident, and looking at the paper of conditions which he had returned to the Resident, he observed— ' Ye 4 Kaghuz °Tar toomho izar howengee e which was interpreted to signify a threat, that he (the Resident) would be injured on account.of that paper. " A very considerable change occurred in the Raja's manner and demeanour towards the end of this inter view. When we first met he was cheerful, and embraced me and all the gentlemen present with apparent cordi ality. As the debate progressed, however, and more particularly towards the close, he became sullen and gloomy, and spoke but little, and it seemed that he had, for the time, entirely lost command over his feelings. From the result of this, my first interview, I almost despaired of accomplishing the object of my visit to Sattara." There he asserted that the charges had been distinctly proved. Let them turn to page 303, and they would find the following:— " The information required under the first head will be best afforded by the following translation of the Mahratta mem oran d um , w hi c h t h e Raja was required to sign. " ' Information having been received by the British Government, that 3rour Highness, misled by evil advisers, had, in breach of the treaty which placed you on the throne, entered into communications hostile to the Bri tish Government, an inquiry into these accusations was considered indispensable. This inquiry has satisfied the British Go on. British Government that your Highness has expos yourself to the sacrifice of its alliance and protection. Nevertheless, moved by considerations of clemen c y en ' wards your Highness and your family, th e vernment has resolved entirely to overlook what has past, first eohf a condition ze oftrea s . the following conditions," &c. That made it evident that the Raja was called upon to sign a document, theehe which was to plead guilty to Yet they were told that the signi ng tre a son. did not involve a confession a guilt. ___4 document of the document was drawn up in a The preamble well suited for a guilV man, but ill Tanner that was suited for one know ing his innocence. 1 hat a situation the Raja placed in by the conduct of the Government, — they were compelled to wish that he had - been a traitor, for, in that case, he would still be Raja.—(Hear, The proceedings of the Bombay Gov hear.)dis dis pleasing alike to Lord Auckl and and e t r h n e m c e o n u t r twoefre Direc tors, as was proved by the Minute of the Governor- General : " The grave inc • onveniences of a course of anxious and minute scrutiny into the possible plots and intrigues of the native states are indeed very obvious. The futility of the schemes themselves, and the diversion of time and attention, in the search after them, from the better ob jects of Government, are points that need not be insisted on. Nor can it be necessary to dwell on the unworthy , labour of following out the petty and intricate ramifica cations of such intrigues, or on the questionable expedi ents which must h employed, in the effort to expose the true meaning and intention of proceedings covered with mystery and obscurity. I would more strongly fix at tention on the effect which seems to be justly dreaded from investigations of this kind, by the Honourable Court, of injuring the character of our Government for stance of the modera ' modera tion, se cur it y , an d rengt h. In this in Sat tara investi ga ti ons , as o bserved by me in a former Mi nute, ' in an affai,r of no real importance to our power, the idea of mistrusVand insecurity, on the part of the Bri tish Gover nmen t, m a y have been spread from Rajpootana to Madras and Malabar.'

It being known that other occasions, th e secret has been discovered, it may be impolitic not to take notice' of that, from which, had wo continu e d in real or affected ignorance of it, we should ha ve sus tained no harm: Yet, by what process, and with EVENING-SUN, - what impression upon the public mind, is ;the guilty state to be tried, condemned and punished ?

Yet, can he be 'biought to trial, without at least the plausible imputation of preju dice and injustice, after the open ignominy of a deposi lion however avowedly provisional and temporary ? They said the proceedings were a waste of the public? ; but they, wishing only to exculpate themselv es , vent on with the inquiries even against the orders of t. ieir superiors. The whole conduct of the Raja showed h, Is innocence. He was told what the penalty n;ottid be, y( the merely said he was innocent, And thatoas th ey ha d given the country, they might resume it ; all that he wi. ;lied was the friendship of the English, awl that they she luld convince themselves that he was worthy of their con fidenee. Was that the language of a guilty: men ? No 4 , , as to the charaner of Appa Sahib, whom they had placed on the throne, he had embodied his views in the dissent he had put on the Minutes ; and he was an xiotas to show that he had not come to his conclusions up )n :light grounds. In page 233 they would find the cha rrt cter of the present Raja drawn by Sir R. Grant, and ;upon these passages he had founded his opinion of Awn, Sahib. A I ROPRIETOR—Read the 12th paragraph. a to paper is vaguely written ; but it contains one stater to ant, criminatory both of the alleged writer and the R aia, which deserves attention. In reference to the two .sp rents whom it is understood that the Raja was al ic.ut to depute to England, the writer says; c -,-.' The Raja I rave copies of the treaty and other papers to Syud Meer and Ibrahim, and instructed them thus Repre sent first: to the Court of Directors in England. There, should. :it not be effected according to our desires, repre sent to the King's durbar. There, if it should be de cided tlo at we have full powers in our own country, and that th e Bombay Council should have no sovereignty aver us, it is good ; if not, communicate with the Roos walla (.Russians) and adopt means for their army to come' down ha v.' Having said so, and having prepaeed a foul draft of a yad of stipulations to be passed to the Roos walla, n ty brother put his sign -manual on it, and made me put n tine. Had I not put it, he would that moment have tak en my life. Out of this fear I put it ; and I became ft'lly persuaded that moment, that by such acts the Raja would not continue.' " In weighing the claims of this statement to our be lief, it is impossible not to observe that there are two circumstances which, taken by themselves, materially detract .from its credit. First, the writer acknowledges that emarity has long existed between himself and the Raja. .1' Day by day,' he says , the enmity of m y bro ther has been incr eas i ng , f or he suspects me of being in combination with the British Government.' Secondly, he anticipates the possibility of the Raja's dethrone ment, and avowedly aims at succeeding him. •If my brother, ale observes, has done anything wrong, that it may be forgiven out of mercy, and that the raj be continued fit. m, is my only wish. Perhaps, in order not to continue mv brother on th e ra j, if an arrangement be contemplated, .I am an heir, and I am not concerned in any improper act.'s ; if my brother has done any, there fore, the British Government will place me.on the throne. I have this confidence.' " With such powerful inducements to lead him to the crimination of the Raja, the statements of AppalSahib (for I do not doubt that he is the author of the docu ment) must be received with considerable reserve. In truth, among the numerous witnesses whose testimonies stand recorded against the Raja, Appa Sahib is the only one who speaks clearly on the side of his own interest. In the case of the rest, if any has existed, the presump tion from their position and circumstances is, that it was a bias in favour of hi s Hi g h ness. The brother,.actuated by the double motive of ill usage to resent, and of a throne to gain, cannot be considered an impartial witness." Captain SHEPHERD then proceeded : " Having stated fairly the considerations which thus tend to discredit the statement of, the Prince, it is my duty to point out, with equal candour, the circum stances that tell i n it s f avour . L et i t be observed, then, that the Prince freely criminates himself as well as his brother. True, he extenuates the act which he con fesses ; but he must have felt that his confession, even thus quailfied, could not but place him in a situation of very serious hazard. The presumption, therefore would seem to be, that some letter of the sort described by him was in existence when he wrote, and that it was out of his own power ; and, if so, we can hardly suppose that he would commit himself on a false allegation of its having been signed by the Raja, which allegation the production of the instrument would instantly confute." Now he submitted that that did not make out much for his friend's argument. It was said that Sir Robert Grant was not the author of some of these statements, but with that he had nothing to do. It was not his busi ness to make up these deficiencies. Again, in paragraph 13 he found these words : " If, on the other hand, we suppose that the Raja is here falsely accused, then we must hold, either that no instrument of the sort existed, and that Appa Sahib's statement is wholly false, or else that the instrument existed, but, together, with the Raja's signature, had been forged by the person who refers to it. But, on either of these suppositions, why should Appa Sahib accuse himself of treason, as well' as the Raja ? If he forged the instrument and the Raja's sig nature to it, why should he gratuitously add his own ? If there existed no such instrument, and the whole story is a fiction, why should it be part of the fiction, that he himself partook in the crime imputed ? He would rather have pretending that the Raja had ear nestly solicited him to join in the treason, but he had nobly resisted the solicitation." He now came to the confication of the Raja's property. He maintained that the cash, which amounted to six or seven lacs of rupees, was distinctly private property, and on no public grounds whatever should it have been confiscated.—(Hear, hear.) He would say the same with respect to the Raja's flocks and herds, end other property : " The Raja did submit peaceably ; and, confiding in the assurances conveyed to him through the Resident, he left in the Palace the whole of his treasure, and other property, with the exception of the jewels belonging to his two ranees, estimated at the value of two lacs, which they were permitted to take with them, and which the Court state that they were very properly allowed to retain. " The melancholy result of the Government's profes sions, and the Raja's confidence, has been the confis cation and transfer of the whole of his property to his successor." There was a direct pledge given that hi s p ro p er t y should be respected, and he reeretted that Sir R. Grant had not acted considerately, and in conformity with that pledge, instead of making over all the property to his successor. He did not think they could justify that breach of a solemn engagement by any arguments what ever. He feared he had detained them too long. Ile deeply deplored that the present discussion had taken place, and that the Directors had taken so contrary a N:ew of the question. It had always been the practice of the Court to interfere on behalf of the natives of India.—(Hear, hear.) He would stake his reputation upon that fact. In his experience of their proceedings, they had been anxious, on every occasion, to do justice and maintain their authority in the most conciliatory manner. He was sorry, in this particular case, that, for the sake of maintaining the Governor's authority, they should have allowed themselves to confirm the Gover nor's deposition of the Raja • although, up to the eleventh hour, th e i r opinions had been in his favour.— (Cheers.) They had sent him a:present of a sword, and had distinguished him above all the Princes of India. The next point was the reflection that his Hon. Friend opposite (Air. Warden), had cast upon his Hon. and Gallant Friend General Lodwick. General Lonwicx said the Chairman had kindly pro mised that he should have an opportunity of explaining his conduct.—(Hear, hear.) Captain SHEPHERD resumed. He admired the .niankf integrity which his Hon. and Gallant Friend had dis played when he was convinced of his error, and found that he had reason for changing his opinion. He eer trust ed the East India Company would always have who would he ready to do justice, to the consistency.—(Much cheering.) regardWit h h emliy his Hon. motion that had been submitted to t were totally and Friend, he need not say that his feelingsthregard to the entirely in unison with it ; but even at the sake ° of speci fic remedy that it proposed, were embodied gave the Parliament under which .they varying he w feared that the Act of or i their decisions.

He confessed, that looking through the whole of the papers and the evidence that had been taken, he could not see that there had been any injustice done him, for _the evidence was strong and conclusive against him.—(Hear, and No.) His traitorous inter . - course with the Governor of Goa had been proved in such a manner as to convince the most hardened unbe liever. The evidence had been read through by Sir R. Grant, and his opinion on it was recorded. It WAS CO3ll - that the evidence was ex parte, but how could it be otherwise. " It appears from the Commission's proceedings, the the evidence against the Raja was fully explained to his Highness ; and it i s qu i te c l ear t h at hi s Hi g h ness under stood the nature of the charges preferred against him, by his endeavouring, however unsatisfactorily, to exonerate himself from them. The Commission further offered to confront the Raja with his accusers, but he declined."
