The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p aid for the first Ave years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim en the policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first live years at little naore than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a Specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNERSHIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance effected by 'mixers, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. Oa the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retala big the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain ' their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. • No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge nude for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of the assured life The usual Commission allowed to Solicitors, and also to persons, approved by the Board, who extend tke business of Life Assurance in connexion with this Company.

Reader, remember, this letter was Ti .per by the lady hersel as a testimon te me. rs. Weekley, of N. 3. S wan -street, B oreugh, takes this soppor put int %amity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the eticacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole oilier hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to7the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenstor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an i I S. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure it answering any lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough," In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most dtiloato ladies may use this dellzhtful product of the most aromatic kerbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion is the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair ou children's heads in a few appplicatlons. If used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre- Vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE. In our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that we do not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an other ; but in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling value and universal import as mast prove, in the fullest sense of the term, equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not the income, but the expenditure, of every individual. How this may be effected the following outline of our novel, yet well appreciated business system, will readily show. POSSESSING LARGE ESTABLISHMENTS in most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our concentrated purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash, at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de signed and cut by talented artiste, and manufactured by experienced workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nomiaal per-cent4ge upon original cost, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain I;ures, from which no deviation is allowed. These facts, together with the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not approved after purchase, afford advantages to our patrons such as rave been seldom, if ever, elsewhere presented, enabling them to enect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item " Clothing," of not less than 40 per cent., as the following brief price list will testify to some extent : s. d.

M One half the world are desolately Single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em titter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an oemprostag harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set dement. Honour and justicederasmd that health should form as item In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or leglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Precisely at twelve o'clock Sir Archibald. Gal loway, accompanied by a large body of the Directors, entered the court, and Mr. Hoerr MACKENZIE rose to resume the debate. He said—When the Court rose on Wednesday last he intended to have said a few words, but abstained for several reasons. He felt that the question had been almost decided, and he felt too that everybody in the meeting, as well as himself, were almost ex hausted by the length to which the debate had run. For these reasons he abstained from troubling the Court with the observations which he had intended to address to them on the matter in band. From the Court having consented 'to the adjournment, he supposed it was their wish that this question should be fully and filially discussed, end that a solemn decision having been passed by this Court upon the question, it: should be, as far as the Court was concerned, set at rest for ever —(Hear, hear.) For that purpose it was very desirable that every one should have a full opportunity of stating his sentiments ; therefore he offered himself as en humble individual to state his opinion on the He confessed he had been anxious to join in .is discussion, because he entertained a strong opinion that injustice was done by the Court of Di rectors and others, gentlemen for whom he enter tained a strong sense of affection and respect. He was not without hope that he himself might be proved to be in the wrong, that either he was mis taken in the general question, or that there were circumstances in this particular case that would take it out of the general rule ; and there fore he was not without hope that they might be able to persuade him against a strong opinion which he entertained, that their orders were founded in justice, and that in executing them our Govern ment would not violate the great laws by which he believed they all desired to be regulated, and by which, perhaps, with rare exceptions, their Indian Government had been conducted—(Hear) —for he took it for granted that they were willing at once to say that justice should be paramount. There might be a question about the meaning of the word " para mount," but as to their allowing the justice of the case to override all questions of mere expediency, he imagined there would be no dissent. — (hear, hear, and cheers.) Indeed, he should say as to Governments, there never could be a question, but in the long run, expediency depended on justice —and if that was true in ordinary cases, it was peculiarly so in India, where their strength mainly depended on their moral character. By the force of that moral character, and of their equitable and righteous institutions planted in India, were they able to rule and govern many a willing people in that country, consisting of many millions.—(Applause.) He had another hope, which he would not entirely relinquish, that if in the course of their discussion there should appear reason to alter their decision, that that decision was not irre vocable.—(Hear, hear.) He admitted it was a godlike thing for a Government never to err; but the highest human praise was when a strong Government, such as theirs was, acknowledged its error—(Ap plause)—when it retraced steps which it had taken in a wrong direction, and, throwing aside all meaner motives and considerations, said, " Come what would, justice should be done—(Applause)—we were wrong and we shall not persevere in wrong."—(Hear, hear.) He was not indeed sanguine enough to expect that an opinion deliberately adopted by that Court should be set aside by anything that he could say ; but still he believed if he and his friends cast their words upon the waters, they would not do so in vain. He had the highest respect for Lord Dalhousie, the Governor- General of India ; and he (Mr. Mackenzie) found in one paragraph of Lord Dalhousie's minute, a senti ment which gave him the greatest hope on this oc casion. He believed that Lord Dalhousie had been unluckily carried on to decide this question at too early a period of his career. At that moment the very safety of the Indian empire was in some degree in his keeping, with the welfare of thousands and tens of thousands of people demanding his instant attention, he (Mr. Mackenzie) could not think that in a judicial case like this — (Hear, hear)—for a judicial case it was to a great extent—without the advantage of counsel, without hearing the parties, without all the advantages which a public discussion gave to public men in this country —he (Mr. Mackenzie) repeated he could not think that Lord Dalhousie had given fair play to his admirable' judgment—(Hear)—and he believed, when longer experience should have operated on the Governor-General's mind, and he should look on this question, aided by the light of that longer experience, he would revert to the minute to which he (Mr. Mackenzie) had alluded. He would take the liberty to read an extract from that minute. It was in these words :—" The Government is bound, in duty as well as policy, to act on every such occasion with the purest integrity, and in the most scrupulous observance of good faith. Where even a shadow of doubt can be shown, the claim should at once have been abandoned."—(Hear, hear, and applause.) Now he (Mr. Mackenzie) did confess, if his mind was not strangely constituted, if he did not altogether dream, after reading the dissents which the paper he held in his hand contained, the admirable dissents which did the highest credit to their Court — he said if, especially, that speech of his Hon. Friend Mr. Sullivan could be conveyed to his Lordship, if their remarks during that debate should be placed before him, he (Mr. Mackenzie) could have little doubt that Lord Dalhousie would not think there was not only " a shadow of a doubt," but doubts of the gravest kind, that there were the most solid grounds for believing that he had decided wrongly. The right of the Raja of Sattara was, in his (Mr. Mackenzie's) apprehen sion, one that might be established in any court of justice; but, at all events, the opposite side of the question was one that a candid man would say did admit of grave doubts. lie believed confidently that at no distant period Lord Dalhousie would consider that there were such doubts, that the claim should be at once abandoned.—(Hear.) It was, therefore, on that account that he (Mr. Mackenzie) was anxious that this case should be fully discussed. There was a preliminary objection to which he had better allude shortly. His Hon. Friend, the late Chairman, agi tated the Act of Parliament which restrained that Court from altering or amending, or interfering with any decision of the Court of Directors, supported by her Majesty's Government. He (Mr. Mackenzie) at once admitted the law of his Hon. Friend, but he must demur to the consequences. It was certainly very important that it should be known that their Court acted on a higher responsibility than they owed to their proprietors as their representatives ; but the Court had a higher responsibility in their own con science to God and their country—(Hear, hear) — and although he (Mr. Mackenzie) did belong to " the extreme left"—(A laugh)—he had always maintained the principle that their Honourable Court should be always supported by them on his (Mr. Mackenzie's) side of the bar, and therefore he did readily admit the provisions of the Act in its fullest spirit, that they were not to interfere with the Executive Government—(Hear, hear)—but he could not think they were not therefore sometimes, nay, frequently, to discuss grave questions. As the constituents of the Court of Directors the Proprietors were fully entitled to instruct them ; they were fully able to give them the benefit of their various sentiments ; and he thought the Directors would be disposed to yield to their opinions when supported by convincing arguments, or at all events would be disposed to give them the weight which they merited. For his own part, when there was no pressure, when a case might admit of long delay, if he was in their place he confessed he should have a preference for the somewhat rude democracy of that place rather than seek inspiration from the more demure philo sophy of the precincts of Cannon-row.—(A laugh.) He had no doubt in this, as in other cases, the Directors had acted for the best; they had thought it right to come to a decision, and he had no doubt that they thought the decision they had come to was the best one. He gave them the be nefit of believing they had done no thing that they did not think was right. The case was one that depended upon the Directors for its decision — it was not the p rovince of the Pro prietorsroffer to do so; all they c ould do was to proffer their advice. The Director must decide it, wit e h v o e u r t reference to the Court. The Proprietors,ii‘v , had the right of either approving or condemning any decision to which the Directors might have come, when they assembl ed, as they had. that day. Though the Proprietors ha d no direct authority or power, he believed that Court, if it would be true to itself—. (Hear, hear) — po ssessed ver y considerable authority. He believed it might be fairly taken to represent that great body of the British people who took the deepest interest in the affairs of India. He believed, further, if their discussions there were carried on as he had been accustomed to see discussions carried on in India—with perfect freedom, not perhaps without puska, when important interests were at stake, yet with courtesy and gentlemanly feeling— if such feelings actuated their discussions, he believed they would not be unimportant. They should he of such a character, for they took place in a free country, where public sentiment bore down the highest authority.—(Hear, hear.) The bar had no authority to dictate the nature of the decivion of the judges, yet what judge of the present day—what judge since the time of Jeffreys would dare to set himself against the universal feeling of the bar. The judges of England were far above his praise, but highly as he thought of them, he would not trust them unless they were checked by a honest bar and a searching public. (Loud cheers.) So he thought of the Government of India, which that Court was to a great extent, and, therefore, he thought if they formed in that Court a strong opinion in favour of the decisions to which the Directors had come, that the reasons given for results were ap proved•of, they must he materially strengthened, and they might confidently hope for good. Therefore it was that he was so anxious that there should be no angry, no personal discussion—(Cheers)—therefore it was that he was anxious, if in the heat of debate he should use one word inconsistent with respect to the Directors, that it should be considered as if he had not uttered it, as no such sentiment could come from his heart, and he would at once candidly and fairly concede to the Directors the right of think ing he was wrong, miserably, strangely wrong; and he was sure they would at once recognise his right to say to them, believing strongly what he uttered, that he thought they had gravely erred.—(Bear, hear.) Therefore it was that he said, that though giving the late Chairman full credit for his knowledge of the law by which cases of this kind were guided, and bowing to his authority in all matters, yet notwithstanding his opinion, he considered that discussions in that Court might be most important, and that it was certainly one part of the constitution of this Company that this right, which he believed a most important part of the good government of India, should be maintained. It was also a matter of importance, because they possessed no direct power, which rendered it impossible that they could there enter into that struggle for personal objects which so much perplexed oligarchies at home. They could not lay great stress upon personal motives and feelings, because they knew that their decision would have no immediate practical effect. No, it was only by the force of truth that they could expect to be useful; and when they were wrong—especially when they were violent—their power was not legally ' but morally irresistible. It was for these grounds that he looked forward to good and not to evil spring ing from such discussions ; indeed, he believed such discussions would form a good safety-valve for their feelings. It was a great consolatiou under suffering to be able to complain— it was a strong security against tyranny to be able to petition. Ile knew from his experience in India that no right was more valued by the natives of India than the right of petitioning. It had been his fortune to decide many cases, but he must say for the natives of India, that when the cause was rightly heard, even if they thought the decision was wrong, there was no hostility in their breasts ; in the common expression of their language they said, " to be heard is to be ap preciated."—(Cheers.) What he wished to impress upon the minds of public men, and if upon them it was doubly important that the natives of India should be impressed with the same belief, that no man could be injured without a hearing.—(Hear. hear.) They would then think highly of the British decision—they would submit to decisions, even if wrongful, without entertaining any feeling of anger or disaffection. Therefore it was that he wished this Court to be con• sidered as a safety-valve to all who thought themselves injured; and the more the natives knew that their cases would be heard the greater would be the security they would have for the government of India. But he did not believe that they were to be misled by mere talk; and, on the other hand, they were too acute not to know the real merits of the question. There were a few preliminary questions on which he would first offer some words. This was not the real Sattara question.—(Hear, hear.) The parties were different, the point at issue was different, and the cause was altogether different. The parties were the family of the late Raja, and the question at issue was one of public faith, the interpre tation of a treaty, and the consequences were of the most momentous kind. The bearings of the question were well defined by Mr. Willoughby, for he evi• dently intended that the decision with respect to this case should extend to the whole of the dependent principalities ; and therefore he believed, if the deci sion in this case was maintained, especially in the words used, he believed the decision would have the most important effect. (Sir J. Hogg was about to leave.) He begged to remiad the Hon. Baronet that this was not the interminable Sattara case. He hoped, therefore, he should escape the good-natured banter which a gentleman some time ago received at the hands of the Hon. Baronet. He wished it to be understood that he threw the old case aside ; and, therefore, begged to recommend this new case to the acute, legal, and kind consideration of the Hon. Baronet, as it was a question quite irrespective of all that had been urged with respect to the guilt or innocence of Pertaub Shean. They had nothing to do with that. He trusted, therefore, they would have the benefit of the Hon. Baronet's sentiments upon this question, because it was a legal and judicial one. He was only afraid if he went away it would be thought that he had thrown up the question in disgust as the "eternal Sattara question."—(Laughter.) Still it was not a case he was ashamed to advocate, but in doing so he should not detain the Court long; yet, when a man was on his legs, it was well known— " That ono upon one suggests another, And still each follow breeds a brother." The case had been admirably stated and ably sup ported by the unanswered and certainly unanswerable speech of Mr. Sullivan. He did not mean to say that he concurred in all the sentiments, but his state ment that the decision of the Directors was unjust had his entire concurrence, and if he could bring himself to believe that his speech was full in the minds of the Proprietors, he should be ashamed to add one word to the arguments he adduced, for he seemed to him to have exhausted the case. He merely sought permis sion to state shortly how this question appeared to him. Let them look at the ground of the decision of the Court (page 8)—" The result of our deliberation is, that concurring with you in opinion, we are fully satisfied that by the general law and custom of India, a dependent principality like that of Sattara cannot pass to an adopted heir without the consent of the paramount power." First of all, he should confine himself to the question whether by the " general Court custom of India a dependent principality like that of Sattara cannot pass to an adopted heir with out the consent of the paramount power? " He had read all these papers minutely, and he had listened to what had been said from the chair with the utmost attention, but he certainly could not find a tittle of evidence to support that assertion.—(llear, hear.) He had looked carefully through all the books and papers, to see if there was anything to bear the Court out in saying that Sattara was a dependent prin cipality, and the Raja must therefore have recourse to the sanction, and not merely the sanction, but the consent of the paramount power before he could adopt a heir—(llear)—nor could he find anything in the treaty to justify that position—a treaty, he would take leave to observe, not merely with Pertaub Singh, but he conceived also with the state of Sat tara. It was not a treaty with an individual who lived to-day and died to-morrow ; but it was the treaty with the Raja and people of Sattara, and they were bound, therefore, not to take it in a limited sense, but to construe it in the light of a treaty of perpetual friendship and alliance truewith tthhaetatta r s . (Hear, hear.) It wasconceded and sovereign h ty of to the Raja the principality peoplethe treaty of S d to these the only meaning that could be a Sattara, his heirs and successors,buttthacehaeppreended words was that which was put upon them by the Hon. a tolerably - good who in his humble judgment Ns!i (II h r ) h a point.— ear, ea . and Learned Gentleman. who spoke s on Wednesday, and legal authority upon suc Nor did he think in re gardy.—(Hear, Heirs and successors could not be . limited to heirs of hear.) th body •b t . succes sors" could be limited toheirs of the ,uin t to English.me.n that e words "heirs and case of the Ilindoos, with whom and whose laws and customs they were perhaps more familiar, such a limitation appeared to him to be absolutely impossible and absurd : —(Cheers.) He had referred to all the books bearing upon the subject that he could get access to, and they certainly contained nothing to support the course th e C ourt were pur suing; na t m o oo b rnn e ga t sm h t e ewn highest i o g itn h o e was s h t legalone whose s t h s i o o r n i t e e a s anrd u n p i n o a upon while he had con su lt e d gent l emen who must be s g u madecph r e s h u points, m m e honour to his count r y—h e meant hi s l earne d f r i en d Dr. Wilson, who was well acquainted with the laws of India—who all in one voice said that an adopted heir or an adopted son was as much a heir as the heirs of the body.--(Cheers.) But turn to what Mr. Eiphinstone said in his dispatch, and the Court would find that there it was stated that adopted heirs were uniformly placed before col lateral heirs, and that universal adoption was claimed by the Hindoos as a right to which they attached the /-/ [PRICE SD• -c, y _. / highest importance, and exercised as a religious rite, andto interfere with w hi c h mus t i n e v itably inflict great injury up o n a ll c l asses i n I n di a . —(H e ar, hear.) Independently, too, of this, the original Act of Par liament n l eoo a atvn e m t h,ere wisdom gave the people of I n di a t o understand in express words that n e ith er th e cour t s nor the local urism but without guide wt hein nt n e governments Hithertooo would agtn lo interfere sd suchs sense n se a w n it d wordsh the wisdom d l n a o inA v oetf ought s o u f succes sion, Par liamentest the Court rtanhdadinshaoct%inng great n t deference to the feelings of the people of India ; and for the Court now to tell them that heirs and suc cessors did not include adopted heirs was one of the most extraordinary opinions he had ever heard of. — (Cheers.) But it seemed the Court relied upon the Arabic words in the Mahratta version of the treaty, and no doubt the Hon. Chairman in guiding the Court in that respect was a good authority, but it seemed to him, notwithstanding what had fallen from the Hun. Gentleman, that the words extended beyond heirs of the body, and he said, without hesitation, that according to the common language of India, the words furzund and warisan implied in heritance generally. The third, word, hayeem ma kam, properly interpreted, implied even more than that, and it seemed to him more than possible that it was put in expressly to meet a case like this. - .l\ o doubt it was put in to meet any case of doubt as to a succession, because it was more than likt ly that at the time the treaty was made the contingency was entertained that it might be necessary to remove the Raja, as indeed they had done, and the treaty must therefore be received in the light as having been in fact entered into for the benefit of the state, and the Raja so interpreting the treaty ap pointed his successor, who at his death became his representative.—(Hear, hear.) With regard to the expediency or necessity of the course the Court of Directors were pursuing he woula only say one word, nor would he attribute improper mo tives to the Directors; but this he would say that, in their anxiety to pursue a course consistent with the duty of men of honour, and compatible with the interest and advantage of the Company, they had acquired a bias unfavourable to the late Baja, and in order to excuse that course they nad availed themselves of the Mahomedan law. The word warisan, as he had said before, was universally used to express in heritance generally ; and it did really appear to him to be absurd to put any other construction upon it without going back to the niceties of the Mahome dan law.—(Hear.) He was an old translator, and he could assure the Court that this was a common word used in most if not all the Company's treaties. He wished now to advert to the danger of considering the Baja an entirely dependent prince. He was ready to admit that the Baja was in one sense not independent. In one sense he certainly was subordinate, and could not exercise certain privileges without the consent of the Government, but the real point at issue related to the inheritance, whether the inheritance was dependent upon the will, or ruling of the Government, or whether, as far as the inheritance was concerned, the Raja was entirely independent upon that point— he had no hesitation in saying that he really thought the Baja was left independent. Any other independence he did not claim for the Baja, nor had he, or those who agreed with him, any wish to claim more inde pendence for the Raja than what the law conferred upon him.—(Hear, hear.) Looking over all the treaties of Sir John Napier he found precisely the same words, " heirs and successors," and the same words appeared to be employed in most if not all the East India Company's treaties.—(Hear, hear.) Therefore to adopt the Directors' view of the matter would be wrong and unjust, and to say that the inheritance in this case depended upon the will of the just as paramount or Supreme Government was as absurd as if a man were to deny the inheri tance to a copyholder because he did not hold the freehold. (Cheers.) He freely admitted that the Raja did not hold the full sovereignty, but the title upon which he held his territory vested in him the inheritance. A better title could not be found all the world over than that which was based upon the faith of the British Government.—(Loud cheers.) Well, then, upon such a title rested the inheritance in this case, and he hoped it would be respected, or the good faith of the British Government would no longer be relied on in India. He had looked, and looked in vain, for a single letter or word in the treaty to justify the notion that they were to have the control of the inheritance; and, as be said before, he really believed that, with the Iliudoos, heirs, by the universal custom of their country, included the chil dren of adoption. Therefore he held that the Baja was entitled to inherit without leave, and was also entitled to adopted without leave, unless some special grounds and exceptions were introduced into the treaty which were not found here.—(Cheers.) He had looked carefully over all the minutes before the Court of the Supreme Government of Bombay, and with all due respect to the Court, he had looked also into the able paper signed by one of their own body—a gentleman whom he highly esteemed and whom he should always hold in the highest respect, and for whose opinion, by the way, he took some responsibility if not credit to himself, because that gentleman—Mr. Mangles he alluded to—acted at one time in subordinate co-operation with himself, and he very much feared the Honourable Director might have learnt some lessons while he acted under him as a meritorious secretary which he was afraid would rather bias his mind in this case.— (Hear, hear.) Like the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, the business of the office of the Ho nourable Gentleman was to collect and get money—honestly, he admitted, but still his main purpose was to get money, and the strict discharge of his duty to the Company as their territorial secretary, was most likely to prejudice him against the case.—(Hear.) The wisdom of their Government made their revenue officer look pretty closely after the public funds without infringing any private rights, if possible, but still his duty was to maintain the public purse ; and it appeared to him that, actuated by such motives, the Honourable Gen tleman might declare himself hostile to this case. He believed when the must got into wine it seriously injured it; the best materials were liable to be attacked in that manner, and he was afraid the clear intellect of his Hon. Friend, when he came to decide upon a cause involving the interest of the public exchequer, will be found to have been attacked by the must. But he did think that his lion. Friend, with all his strong feeling for their public welfare, would succeed in maintaining his ground, for this was not merely a question of treaty, but of public faith.—(Cheers.) 'The same feeling or error ran through Sir Henry Willoughby's dis patches, but to a less extent, inasmuch as he confounded all tenures together. He admitted at once that there were some tenures that were subject to the control of the supreme power, and they must draw a distinction between that form of tenure and the present.—(Hear, hear.) Sir Henry Wil loughby, in speaking of tenures in his letters, alluded only to the jaghadeers, but that was quite a different form of tenure to the Rajas of Sattara.—(hear, hear.) The jaghadeers were servants of the Government holding land for military duty, and though their in heritance was provided for, it was subject to great conditions. Whether they left behind them an adopted son, or a son of the body, a distinct investiture was required at every succession, which marked them as subjects, and showed that they had not the slightest pretence to any of those rights which belonged to hereditary princes in India. They had no distinct hereditary right, and they did not at all resemble any of those Rajas between whom and the East India Company — the highest power in India—a solemn compact had been made.—(Hear, hear.) He did think that it was very much to be lamented that Sir Henry Willougnby had so much to do with the decision in the case of the Raja of Sattara.—(Hear , hear.) There was a very pregnant remark, and he was sure, in referring to it, that they would not un derstand him as meaning anythi n g dero g atory to e tb b _ e officer, than whom there wa s no more honour zealous, and upright man—(Near, hear) —but thens , was a pregnant remark made b y a distinguished in dividual, warning the Governor-General against intrusting the details :of relations with petty states to subordinate presidents in India. He very justly ob served that the subordinate presidents of the Govern* meat were not possessed of the necessary knowledge, and that they were unacquainted with those great principles which ought to regulate our poli tical relations.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") And the original treaty with Pertaub Shean was made by Mr. Elphinstone, not as Governor of Bomb's'', but in another capacity under the orders of the Gn• vernor •General. He looked in vain through the an nals of their proceedings for any precedent to'support the confiscation of the Raja's territory, while in re ferring to what had been done in parallel cases he found many precedents in favour of the view which he took with respect to the right of succession. There was the case of Tangerel in which a decision was passed upon misinformation against the adoption ; but after a long series of years the Supreme Government came to a resolution' to undo the act of injustice which it had committed.--, (Hear, hear.) The decision in that case was o ne_ l i t r great importance, and it showed t hat they, lik all other men, Mere liable to err , but should that truth and justice would in the end otstand pre vail, and that past errors n in the way of undoing an act of positive injustice, and thereby adding to the hono ur of the British character. —(Cheers.) If the adoption was according to the Hindoo law they were as much bound to support it as they were to supp ort an y Raja with whom they had amicable relation s. lie freely admitted that m cases of adoption and disputed succession the sanction of the paramount power was generally necessary, because it had taken upon itself, and was entitled to take upon itself, the duty of maintaining peace in India, and of seeing that the feelings ot subjects AVIV ll°
