Whether there is any foundation for this hypo thesis we know not; it has been first-surmised, as we have said, by the Bombay correspondent of • the Morning Chronicle, 3vhose words we quoted. Our only concern is with the expediency and the - lawfulness of such a line of policy 7 -and in both these respects we contend that it is unexception- S able. The question of expediencywill, we suppose, be conceded at once. Whoever reads the Duke of Wellington'S dispatches from the Peninsula must see to what an extent the difficulty - -of great military operations may be aggravated . by hints o f a preparat i on f or t h e i r commence ment to an antagonist, even though these hints r should have to travel by so tedious and prem. rious a circuit as from the interior to Lisbon— from Lisbon to London (before steam-ships were in use)—from Lisbon, by such chance communi cation as a state of war permitted, to France-- and then from Paris back again to the centre of Spain. There is nothing of which the Duke of Wellington more frequently compla ins, nothing which he appears t o have inure anxiously guarded against, than even this circuitous and doubtful means of information to the enemy }} and this in a case where the amount anti position of this enemy's force was tolerably well known, and incapable of being aug mented or materially changed by the effect of intelligence received by him. N ow t h e con dition in which the Governor-General is placed presents even stronger motives for the most careful concealment of his plans up to the mo. ment cf execution—he has to conduct a war upon a great scale at an immense distance p eo „, his regular resouces—among independent m i _ tions, some friendly, others cold or jealou s , or it may be only wanting a favourable cpportuoitv to indulge a bitter hostility. There would be little wisdom in giving the opportunity to enc.- mies to obstruct his measures by intrigue and preparation, as he must give it, should he pro claim beforehand the course of-operation which-s-.......: he intended ,to pursue. Yet his Lordship's not having done this is, in fact, the ground of the charge made against him by the Whig journals, in India amid at home. As regar4s expediency, then, the policy imputed to Lord Ellenborough is perfect, because it must have deceived our enemies—without in the slightest degree dis abling the Governor-Gen e r a l ( events h ave s h own this), ffom promptly and effectually taking ad van tge of their error.

Copy of a , Surgeon, R of Carmeck, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last, to the Editor of the " Times:"— " Sir,—l think it a duty I owe to the public te make known the efficacy if a remedy which I met with accidentally, n which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some rn ' i, months ago I met with a very severe accident , having dislo cated' and fractured my ancle severely. From the great tender ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con tinued very much swollen and edematous ' and I suffer e d dreadfully from severe a ttaeks of s p asms in the night, which extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and te the arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt sea bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill, who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment, I had ne spasm that night, ner have I had one since. The next morning I came sown stairs without my crutches, and was able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am new rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford, I know of ne medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy. In editing my testimony te Alr. Feaver's Embrocation, 1 am ac twitted by uo other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere desire te snake known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice against everything in the shape •f quackery, I should be the last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug. •'I am, your obedient servant.

CHRONICLE.— The Ministerial journals would have done much better -to have attended to our advice in the beginning. From what errors, inconsbitencies, and needless advocacy 01 the most shameful and untenable doctrines would they not have been preserved, had they allowed Lord Ellenborough's conduct to remain undefended as it was obviously indefensible. When the intelligence of the order to retreat was first published, it was boldly justified, one day upon the ground of the impracticability of the march to Caubul, another of the danger to the prisoners by which it would be attended. For a moment, however, the fact of the order having been issued was never questioned. Times, Herald, Post, and Standard, all admitted it : " Lord Elleuborough has issued the order," said they, " but he could not avoid it. Under the circumstances it was the most politic thing he could do. It is wholly imp oss ible for either General Pollock or General Nott to advance to Canbul ; and even if they could advance, their doing so would only expose the prisoners to ceri am destruction. Therefore Lord Ellenbo rough has judged and acted wisely in ordering the troops to retreat." The next mail arrives, and lo ! the Governor-General has counter manded his firstorchl k .9 4 4, notwithstanding all the weighty considerations of policy and human ity, both General Pollock and General Nott have been ordered to advance. Did we not tell you it would be so? On the sth of September we noticed an observed m of a writer in the Times, which was to the effect that " a forward move ment would not take place unless it was ordered from home," and we then remarked—" Most fortunately the move in advance has been ordered from home, and will be carried into e t ffect, Bat it will be in violation of the o r d ers of the Gorer nor-General of India." We spoke confidently, and not upon light grounds. The Government writers, however, were confounded by the sup position that upon a question of such magnitude Sir Robert Peel should take a course so directly in opposition to Lord Ellenborougo. Th e y ven tured it. In repeating ou r state ment to we referred, deny in justification of Sir no: bert Peel, to the express promises which he had given to the house of Commons. We were told that these promises were only given " under the influence of then•eneral excitement that prevailed at the time," and that it would be " very unfair to hold Sir It. Peel to the strict letter of his en- gagement." pitiful appeal we answered (on September 13)—" We must interpose to protect Sir Robert Peel from the imputations . east upon him by his own supporters. Events will justify his policy and our anticipation. The Right Hon. Baronet meant what he said when he undertook to redress the reverses of the last campaign, and that policy towhichhe has solemnly pledged his Government he will carry into effect.. For a season he must endure, as the head of the Government, the disgrace which the dastardly conduct of the Governor-Gene ral of India has cast, not alone upon the Ministry which appointed him, but upon the country to which he belongs. But the orders subseq ue ntly sent from England, and which most p ro b a bly the next mail will tell us have been acted upon, if they do not alto ge th er exculpate Ministers, will at least limit their responsibility to the secondary offence of having handed over our Eastern empire to the manage ment of a man so shallow, heartless, and con ceited as Lord Ellenborough." And yet with this controversy in recollection, some of these very journals have now the coolness to charge us with want of due caution ill considering the order to retreat! We have throughout the contro versy done the Government the justice, done it in opposition to the earnest protests of all their I own writers, of declaring our well-grounded be lief that they would be no parties to the das tardly fatuity of their Indian servants. We knew and said, that come whit would, Minis ters would order an advance upon Caubul. POST.—A Correspondent at Calcutta, who has access to the best sources of political infor illation, has favoured us with a c ommunication which enables us to assert, in the most unq uali- ' fled terms, that the Governor-General of India never ! rave an order, either to General Pollock or to any other officer, tar the evacuation of Aff- ghanistan by the Briti s h troops; a nd to assert, moreover, that Lord Ell en b oro ugh, from the moment of his arrival in I n di a t o the date of our Correspondent's letter, ne ver use d any language, privately or officially—no single word, by tongue or pen—importing that his Lordship contem plated the withdrawal of t h e B r i t ish force• from Affghanistan, until ev e rythi ng the honour of Great B r i ta i n and the mainte nance of her character, aut h or i ty , a nd pre-emi nence in India could be supposed to require. We learn from the Co rrespon d ent a b o ve referred to, upon whose infor ma ti on we i m plicitly rely, that whatever military mov emen t s may recently have taken place at Ca n d a h ar an d Jellalabad, and whatever may be th e i r o bj ect , those move ments are not the result o f i mme di a te instruc tions front London, b u t o f t h e del ib era te, cohe rent, and unvaccilating syste m of policy adop ted by the present Governo r -G eneral, an d pursued • without the slightest d ev i at i o n , even f o r a mo ment, since his Lordship' s arr i va l i n India—a policy always in harmony with the wishes and the determination of the British Cabinet, with which his Lordship's mind was so f u lly imbued before he left England, th at h e cou ld feel no difficulty, and incur littl e r i sk o f e rror, in (riving to those wishes an d that d eterm ination ''their due application and proper force in every conceivable emergency. We heartily condole with the Mornin g Ch ron i c le on the discovery that the innumerable columns of eloquent and patriotic indignation which it has bestowed upon Lord Ellenborough's order for the British artily to retire within the line of the Indus have been thrown away upon a mere phantasy. No such order was ever issued. No suc h or der will be issued. Oil the c mtrary, the most diligent, strenuous, and systematicexertions have been made to restore the British army to an efficient state fbr the execution ofsuch operations as may be necessary fbr the recovery of the Bri tish prisoners now in the hands of the Affghans, and fbr obtaining such furthe r satisfaction as na t i o m e l s lio r :o t t i i s r od requires by i exact for the savage ex pof a war into which t he Indian Government had dvee emv statesmen,eo(riaverted o repaired the e o s i s c(nr u b s ar to b a r i a n fo e, in the course rushed, regardless alike of policy, humanity, and justice. When theseobjectsare achiev e d, the whole immediatepurposeofthe present I n dian Govern ment,inAffghanistan,willhaveheenaccomplished; and Lord Ellenborough w ill have fulfilled in India what seems the proper and nat ural funct i on an d at home and the errors of his Whig predecessor, and a abroad,destiny o in f C b o a t l i r s in e g rva r t e i national ca l am ities they were calc u l ate d to pro duce. We also assert, with perfect c on fid ence that we shall be justified b y t he future course of e n ‘'e t n nak ts i ,th e aattnhy further e B . ri t t b is e l r t Government attempt to of India will o conquer Aff glianistan, with a view to the pe rmanent occupa tion of that country. I t is universally felt, both in Great Britain and in India, that 110 military operations ought to be undertaken in • k . - fighanis tan, beyond what may be m needful f or obtaining the prisoners, and rescuingthe Briti s h name fro the disgrace which the mad enterprise of the Whig Government has brought up on it. The , invasion of the Affghan territory W as a grossly unjustifiable proceeding from the beginning, and to persevere in it for one m t loner , onger than we are compelled to do b y the neces s i ty o f re . trieving the misf ortune s and dis grace it has occa sioned, would be utterly unworthy of art honest Conservative Government. TIMES.—Our reader will have seen with much interest in our Saturday's paper the 40= A COM Of the defence of KI I maw. , hii4ie by Captain Craig, a defence not inferior in the pa tience and courage with which it has been car ried through to the noble efforts or General Sale's ferce at Jelialabad. We doubt not the officers and corps who have submitted with x cheerfulnes s an d constancy to the • • riYatintba there detailed, will not be tiefrowiii Ott their treed of distinction il 011 Pflwartl- We would also call attention to the verY jus t observations of our Hyderabad Correspondent upon the services of General Nutt. " It is strange," be says; u that while laudatory orders have been Flared forth upon Sale and Pollock, and not less than either well merited, General Nott should have been treated with comparative neglect, But for his admirable maintenance of his p os i t i (ol at Candahar, and his entire repeated nvarthrews of the rebel forces, the rebel fgrpes would have acquired strength, and the destruction of that arm ,7 . , might have been achieved by them. During the whole of last winter, without money, and badly enough off for sup plies, he preserved the discipline and military feeling of his army, and as spring advanced no one could have been more active than he was in dispering the enemy from every position which they had assumed." We should not feel that we had done our duty without expressing our cordial concurrence in these sentiments. General Nott has not been without his difficulties, and in no one instance 11 is he failed to meet them triumphantly. It would be hard indeed if' the completeness of his successes were to have the effect of diminishing the public appreciation of them. He has never found himself in imminent danger, it is true, but how far is it owing to his own'decision and con duct that he has not been so? Enough, however, of this subject, which is probably already under the consideration of Government. Our corre spondents refer to another matter, which we con fess we cannot look upon without the greatest apprehension. As if we had not enough upon our hands, it seems that a quarrel is blowing up between ourselves and the Sikhs—our old allies, and in favour of whom (for the Sikh pos session of Peshawar was the real point in dis pute) we rejected the alliance of Dost Ma homed, and involved ourselves in the present unhappy struggle. "It is said,"- we hear, " that Sliere Singh _has applied to Lord Ellen borough for aid against his Minister, Dhyan Singh. This person's brother, Eblat Singh, commands the Sikh army, which 'is in his inte rest, so that interference becomes more pro bable." If this be not truth it is marvellously like it; it precisely tallies with the natural appre hensions which the history of the Sikh empire thus far would suggest to any thinking mind. Runjeet Singles greatness was based simply upon his efficient and well-disciplined army—a power which we gave him every assistance to perfect— formed by European advice, and upon European models. The machine so created was only kept in order by the piercing and resolute mind of him who had called it into being; and now, when the reins of government have passed into less capable hands, that the soldiery should feel their power and proceed —or attempt—to cast off the feeble successor of their old leader, or at least to enforce the substantial dominion of a leader more agreeable to their own wishes, and, perhaps, much less inclined to British interests, is so likely that very little evidence is necessary to make us apprehend its truth. " I do not say," says our correspondent, " that the Sikh Government wishes for war (with England), but the army does, and has done so for years: The Sikh soldiery are a vain and insolent body, and, as they are, desire nothing more than an oppor tunity of thrashing the Feringees, which, in their hearts, they think they can do." This may very Nve 1 1 be true, and if they choose to seek a quarrel, they must take the consequences, which probably will be little favourable to themselves. If interference is in good truth forced upon us by the insolence, rebellion, or treachery of the army of our old ally—if we are unable to keep our faith with his descendant without assisting him against his refractory subjects—or, again, if in this critical position of our affairs they for whose sake we plunged into it break faith with us, and leave us to weather the consequences of their ruler's tanbition—let the interference be what it ought to be, and what the formation of the new army of reserve on the Indus, and the movement of General England from Can dahar in the same direction. give every pro mise that it shall be—decisive and overpowering. But it should be observed that, up to this time, at far more trying moments than the present, when a hostile movement in the Punjaub would have had consequences on our empire which it is difficult to calcultte, and which it is somewhat alarming even to think of in retrospect, the Sikhs remained firm and decided in our alliance. Nor, though we have heard of many vague suspicions and unauthoritative surmises, is there any pro ducible fact to stand against the hearty co-opera tion which General Pollock seem; hitherto to have found in that very army whose disaffection is now asserted. And though it may be true that, accordin g t o time shifting charact er o f Asiatic politics, new feelings ni.ty have arisen, fresh individuals have been cast up into the pos session of substantial power, yet still the preva lence of any deep hostility towards ourselves must be allowed to be rendered prima fade very improbable, by its non-appeamince lit that nut very distant per;od of difficulty which was so eminently calculated to call it out. We should hear, then, with the utmost regret that these indications had proved delusive,—that a enemy had arisen where we most expected, and bad most right to expect, a constant and active gratitude, and that it was necessary, at the risk of arousing a most formidable league against us, and of losing no small character for constancy in our friendships, to turn our arms upon a country hitherto so steadily attached to'our interests. It need hardly be said we should view with in finitely greater dissatisfaction an event so un likely that we will not venture to think it pos sible,—any attempt to compensate ourselves for our failures in Aff,;hanistan by an unprovoked attack on the tempting territories of the Pun jaub. If it were to appear that our Govern ment had taken advantage of any existing distractions iu that country and of the pre sence of so large an English force upon its frontier to intimidate its rulers into a sur- render of their independence ;—if, without invitation from their ally, without aggres sion from their assumed enemies, they allowed themselves to be led by mere opportunity into the wanton spoliation of an active and unsus- pecting friend;—if the change of Governors and of policy in India only amounted to this, that in stead of an unjust war with the Affghans, we were to invo!ve ourselves in an unjust war with the Sikhs and Affghans united—a war of which the daring impolicy would quite equal its in justice—then, indeed, we should begin to remem ber that quos Deus volt perdere plus demmtat, and to fear that our disaster at Caubul W4S only the ominous beginning of those disasters with which our unprincipled temerity was to over whelm us. But the character and professions, both of Lord Ellenborough and of those to whom he is responsible for the exercise of his authority, forbid such a notion. We believe in his pacific intentions—we believe in his pacific instructions, and we cannot, and will not doubt that, ft every reason combined—credit, safety, generosity—he would shrink from so equivooal u step as a breach ' with the Sikhs, unless the preservation of tul b jr.eigetliltsZiofairte. honest peace became plainly impra i c il tice hands. We y tr e u t s , t i t f h v e Te l a lo r n e ou to r iolafvethaewictr;trwyari we shall be t N i v ot e a ha li v t e tle ha ar o i t o ie l es t s o on b o e f a i r o ‘ i i is tl s i u e *ironi ni beim, j us t t o whose government o f far from wanting an_ .. ot , l . i r e u r. li HERA LD.—We are de Lord Ellenborough India we did anticipate much that would deve‘ lope the resources of that dependent empire and improve the condition of its inhabitants, and that would, through the augmentation of its exports, and the happiness and prosperity of its millions, re-act most beneficially on Great Britain I and though we cannot withdraw a single expression that appeared in Saturday's ilovaid relative to that Noble Lord, we gladly yield a favourable consideration to an the suggestions we halm re ceived iii excuse or mitigation of his, Lordship's conduct. There is not, we aNyetninded from a quarter entitled to reipcnt and deference, any evidence that Lord Eflenhorough ordered the evacuation of Atfghanistan, of HQ Rnthoritative a description as to justify 14 nse for a condem natory purpose. TnN c,lijection is more int. posing in appeamnoe than in reality, Even admittinfs that we are not entitled to use the cotoint testimony of every Indian journal on conveyed by Ow p rods are th e c h aracter an d I ' o- this point—(what cli t hor t e gh M , than that !allon of almost every E uro p ean ata tesmanthQV ibunded ?)•—we have o ofidence from iony which to deduce th e allootion. There have been letters froml 3011alabad in London for • uPwaril4 i Ywo months, wherein the. arder withdraw within the Indus is Staten of as a fact notorious to the iirmy quartered there; nay, more, therQ los been a letter from G eneral Pollock, shown In certain circles, for. the %O l° of that period, wherein that Gallant thileer states that he has received ()Mew il•om_ Sir Japer Nicholls, the Comina i nJer-in-Chief of the Indian army, to ahanjon. his position, re trace his stev, od bring his forces within the Indus l and m this same letter General Pollock expressed his determination to assume the re sponsibility of disobeying the order he had re ceived until there was time to reconsider In disclosing so much we abuse no confidence imposed on us, but merely record what • well-known in almost every political coterie of • any consideration. Having, then, evidence of an order from Sir Jasper Nicholls to General Pollock to withdraw, will any one venture to suggest that the General Commanding-in-Chief in India was so insane as to issue such directions —involving. an entire change in the policy of the supreme Government of that empire—without the most express, intelligible, and complete au thority from L or d Ell en b oroug h ? Theidea that Sir Jasper would so act is monstrous; it , cannot be entertained for an instant. What so natural as that Lord Ellenborouoh should issue such an order? He went to India publicly de claring that the termination of the Affghan " folly " and "crime" was the primary object of his government —he made an attempt to terminate them—and he is now engaged hi re perpetrating them. Away with such a mi serable fallacy as that the treachery and cruelty of the Afthans have converted what was " folly " into wisdom, and what was " crime " into duty. Lord Ellenborough's order for withdrawal testifies that in his opinion no such harlequinade revolution •was accom plished ; that order was issued long after he knew of the reverses we had suffered—subsequently to the rising at Caubul—the murder of the Envoy —the capitulation of the Affghan capital—the Elphinstone treaty—and the Slaughter of the retreating army; and it was issued after General Pollock's division had advanced through the Kyber Pass—after General Sale had repulsed the Affghans before Jellalabad—after ample time had been afforded for the most deliberate reflection and the coolest decision. The issuing of that order amounts, then, to a solemn declara tion by Lord Ellenborough, that the calamities which had occurred—the retribution which had befallen us, did not alter the character which he, in the House of Lords, had affixed to the Affghan war, and ought not to cancel or shake the determination which he left England to execute. A D VERT [SER.—We warn the public against attaching any credit to rumours which may be afloat, or may hereafter be put into circulation, respecting alleged conspiracies against the person of the• Sovereign, or the Con stitution of these realms. The Queen might travel alone by night or by day, from one ex tremity of her kingdom to another, without any one seeking to hurt a hair of her head. It is true, that two or three fools, aspiring at a noto riety which they knew not else how to obtain, have made blank discharges of pistols, not at her Majesty, but as she was passing along; but the number of these idiots is now exhausted. Nor would either of them, we will venture to say, again seek to offer the slightest molesta tion to her Majesty were they again at large. Equally safe from treasonable designs is the Con stitution under which we live. That Constitution stands in crying need of repair from the dilapi dations which time has made upon it; and there are thousands, ourselves among the number, who arc anxious to see it restored to its primitive state. But that there are any persons in the land —any number of persons, we mean, whose influence is sufficiently great to make them men of importance—who are aiming at the de struction of that Constitution, we do not and cannot believe. Hence we put no faith in those I rumours which ever and anon buzz in our ears, about extensive and deep-laid schemes to re volutionise the country—overthrowing the Con-' stitution ' and erecting on its ruins th e th rone of anarchy. These we have always regarded as vain imaginations, as the wild forebodings of frenzied minds. We have no apprehensions of political revolutions of this sweeping cha racter. The rebellion we principally dread is the rebellion of the belly. And even such a rising would not be directed against the Consti tution, but against the unsightly excrescences which a vile oligarchy have engrafted on that I Constitution. Caine what changes may, come when they will, and how they will, we have no fears fin. the Constitution. It will escape—it will only be made more stable and more pleasing to time eye by the ordeal through which it will pass. It is important that the public mind should be disabused on this point. We perceive a disposi tion in certain quarters to magnify the most tri vial incidents into events of the greatest impor tance ; and, where no materials exist out of which, by the magnifying process, to manufac• ture a cock-and-bull story, wherewith to frighten persons of feeble nerves—to put their inventive powers into exercise to vamp up some terrible apprehension. GLOBE. —The defence of the Ashburton treaty has at length been undertaken in a quarter which we presume may be regarded as official, fur the individual who volunteered the task de clares himself to be in the enjoyment of " the confidence" of the Government. Great dramas arc sometimes acted on rather insignificant stages; and we ought therefore not to be startled by the attempted vindication of the honour of England, at a meeting of the Cornwall Poly technic Society —an institution, we presume, on the plan of the Adelaide Gallery, and the similar establishment in Regent -street. The gentleman upon whom the task has devolved of restoring its lustre to the tarnished honour of Great Britain is Mr. Featherstonhaugh, the surveyor employed in inspecting the locality of the proposed boundary line between the English and American territories. It is true, that having seen and examined the country may qualify one surveyor better than another to enter on the great political question involved in the consideration of the treaty that has just been concluded; but if a laudatory speech was required, we wonder that the Cabinet did not employ Mr. George Robins at once; whose powers of imagination would have amply made up for the drawback of his not having per sonally visited the spot he wou ld h ave had to talk about. We have every respect for the pro s fissional talents of Mr. Featherstonhaugh, and we bow at once to his opinions on " the physical character of the territory in dispute ;" but we can not take the judgment of a mere survey or on the question of " B r i t i s h honour and inte rests." When Mr. Featherstonhaugh departs from tical spec u l at i on, and comes to fact, we feP.l P t ° h ‘ a l- t what he Rays deserves the " attentive eolns.idera tion'l which the Times of this morniilgcm . s . for it. The opportunity he has had of maki ng him self acquainted with the circumstances of the case has not been thrown away ; and so far as 46 detail of occurrences eau exonerate the Go vernment, they are entitled to the benefit of what can be advanced in their favour. He be gins his statement of facts by declaring that " nq claim has been preferred by Great Britain which was not founded on the clearest right," and no demand has been countenanced by the preceding as well as the present Administration " WhiCh it would be necessary to maintain at the expense of good faith and strict justice." If all that the Government of Great Britain ever asked was in conformity with, " right," good thitli" and a strict justice," it. is clear that all Whieh has been conceded is a compromise of those :iigh principles which it is allowed that the claims of &Lifland were based upon. The line deter mined on by America was, after a careful geo wAphical survey, deliberately declared to . be " entirely inconsistent with both the phys ical geography at' the country, and the intentions of the language of the treaty of 1783 ;" so that what the United States demanded was not only txintrary to good faith, but utterly impracticable, owing to the physical impossibility of carrying out its object. Nothwithstanding the moral strength of the position of England with respect to this dispute—notwithstanding the conviction of Mr. Featherstonhaugh, who had surveyed the territory, " of the exclusive right of Great Bri tain to the whole of it"—yet lie adds, in his own wards "On my first interview with th e E arl of Aberdeen upon his taking the seals of the Fo reign -office, I ventured to recommend a compro mise as the most sensible course to be pursued."

VICE-REGAL COURT. Dom.'s, OCT. 7.—The death of the gallant Sir L.

There was to have been a fie U-day of all the regi ments in garrison this forenoon, at which his Excel lency the Lord-Lieutenant was expected to be pre sent, but at ten o'clock the order was countermanded, and the troops returned to their quarters. COMMAND OF THE ARMY IN IRELAND.—The Even ing .21Inil denies on authority the report of the ap pointment of Lord Greenock to the command of the army in Ireland, in succession to the gallant and popular officer who at present fills that important office. THE OPERATION OF THE TARIFF. THE BOYLE FAlR.—This fair was held here to-day'. The prices obtained by the few persons who sold have proved most disheartening. There was an ex tensive supply of cattle ; but the prices offered did not generally amount to the sum paid for the same stock last .I.llovernber or May. The only lot of bul locks which we heard were sold were those belonging to Mr. Denis. This gentleman disposed of 20 (out of a lot of 30) at 10/. 7s. 6d. each, although he re fused, on the 4th of April last, I I/. ss. each for the entire lot. Fat sheep sold at from 355. to 40s. ; lambs, from 18s. to 225. ; milch cows, from 81. to 101.; fat cows, from 8/. to 9/. A few horses were disposed of at from 81. to 20/. Pigs were very low. Wool brought 16s. per stone.—Boyle Gazette. LISBURN I AlR.—The autumn fair of Lisburn was held yesterday. The show of horses was greatly in ferior to that of other years. There were a few hand some young horses, a d a pt e d f or sa ddl e or h arness, offered for sale, but most of the buyers of the English market having gone to the great fair of Bal linasloe, very few, even of the lowest description, changed hands. The show of cattle in Smithfield. market was very large. Owing, however, to the curious feeling at present existing between the farmer and dealer, comparatively trifling sales were effected. Some prime springers went off at from 10/. to 121. Fat heifers were in pretty good demand, and brought fair prices ; but inferior cattle of all descriptions were scarcely looked at, and were disposed of at very low rates. ORCHARD.—This fair was held on Me.idav last. There was a very large show of sheep alrl lambs, and a good supply of horned cattle. T - ne fair, on the whole, ruled dull, owing to the continued prevalence of distemper as well as the tariff, both contributing to keep back buyers. Prices ranged as follows :—Store wetlaers, 255. to 345. Maiden ewes, 265. to 325.; lambs, 335. (top ; tups, 3/. to 10 guineas. Fat cattle scarce and dull. Mitch cows scarce ; such as appeared sold. well. Well bred Durliain heifers, one year and a half old, fetched from 41. to 6!. 10s.; wean- Units. " ditto, from 2/. 10s. to 4/. 10s. The principal part of the stock exhibited was very superior. At this fair, and that of Castledermot a few days previously, the best stock sold at a reduction of fully 31. per hea - d, ' and inferior nearly one-half less than this time twelve months, with considerable difficulty of making sales even at thi3 reduction.—Kilkenny Journal. NEWCASTLE. — At the fair of Newcastle on Monday there was rather a small show of stock ; fat cows were scarce and rated from 81. to 11/. ; milch cows averaged from 71. to 10/. 10s.; weanling calves, 2/. to to 21. 105.; sheep, 19s. to 545. ; weighty bacon pigs in very bad demand, but light ones were purchased at 325. to 355. ; store pigs, 255. to 40s.—Limcrick Chronicle. BALLINASI.OI: FAIR. A correspondent, writing on the 6th inst., says, " The sheep fair is now over, and the prices for good stock cannot, after all, be complained of: in inferior sheep, however, there was a great reduction. The numbers exhibited were only about 7,000 less than last year. This day there was a good display of horses, and some brought high prices." The follow ing apparently carefully-computed statement of the result of the sheep fair is given by the correspondent of the Mercantile Advertiser:— " BALLINASLOE, OCT. 6.—1 have succeeded in ob• taining the most accurate information of the sheep fair on Tuesday and yesterday. I shall begin by contrasting the returns of the last and the pre sent year : " Number sold the 4th and sth October, 1841 69,438 " Unsold ;',061 " Total " Number sold the 4th and sth October, 1842 " Unsold . 12,177 " Total "The final results will not be recorded until tho end of the week, as further sales of sheep, of an in ferior description, will take place up to Saturday.

COURAGE, NOT TO QUIT TIM COUNTRY.- 4 en England was threatened with invasion by France, a certain Corporation agreed to form a volunteer earps, on condition that they should not be obliged to quit the country. Their proposal was submitted to Mr- Pitt, the Premier, who facetiously observed, that be had no oliection to the terms, if they would pennit, him to add, except in case of invasion.
