INDIA. pointing out the criminality of their conduct, its ingratitude to wards Government, and the absolute ruin which a perseverance in it would speedily bring upon themselves. Notwithstanding what he urged, however, a considerable number declared they would not march, and eventually a parade was ordered for the following morning—Colonel Cartwright still hoping that when the time for moving came the orders would be obey ed. lie made of course the proper reports to General Dalzell, who intimated his intention of going in person to the parade the next morning at day-break. Well, when that hour arriv ed they found only between 300 and 400 men (including com missioned and non-commissioned native officers) on parade the rest remained behind the bells of arms, with their accoutre-. ments on, and their muskets loaded. On seeing this the Gene ral rode up to them, whereupon they immediately charged and drove him back to the parade, and followed the act by rushing upon those who had already paraded, and driving them back into the lines, all but the native commissioned, and non-com missioned officers, who joined Colonel Cartwright, and were sent to his house as a place of safety. So far with the 47th ihr that day. After gun-fire in the evening (of Monday) a body of the 62(1 regiment suddenly rose, in number about one hun dred and fifty, rushed to the quarter gnard, seized the colours, and carried them to a distance of one hundred yards to the front. Captain Ashe and Ensign Boyd, being, the nearest to the spot, hastened to this place (the commanding officer, Major Roope, and the rest of the officers, exerting themselves to pre serve order in the other parts of the corps), and the former expostulated with the men upon the madness of their conduct, and reminded them of their former good name. He had the greatest hopes of persuading them to abandon their project, until a Sepoy rushed front beside the colours, and told him to begone, or his life should be taken. Capt. Ashe declared his resolution not to leave the colours, whereupon the Sepoys struck him twice, and sought for a bayonet wherewith to assail him. Upon this some of the other men held the ruffian, and said they would not suffer him to touch their officer, whom they entreat ed to go away, saying they were mad, and knew not what they were about. Between pushing and jostling they drove him and Ensign Boyd away, and immediately proceeded with the co lours and joined the 47th. Much about the same time a small number (about twenty) of the 26th rose, seized upon one co , lour, and likewise joined the original mutineers, notwithstand ing all the endeavours of Lieut.-Colonel D'Aguillar to prevent them. By that time the Royals, the King's 47th, and the Ar tillery, had arrived, as well as the Commander in Chief, and day light alone was waited for, to put into execution those prompt and vigorous measures upon which his Excellency had already determined. Accordingly, on Tuesday morning, the whole of the troops were drawn up in position, and the mutineers were likewise in a line of their own, apparently as resolute as ever. Geu. Dalzell was then sent to desire them to lay down their arms, and to point out what world be the immediate con sequences of their refusal. They replied that they had sworn not to surrender, and that they therefore would not, which being reported to his Excellency, 2 signal cons were fired (the galloppers of the body-guard), and, agreeably to previous orders, the artillery, under Capt. Webb, opened on them from the rear. —We believe they returned this fire, in an irregular way, and then immediately fled, receiving a volley from the Royals, who afterwards pursued, and continued sniping all the morning.— The mutineers threw off their accoutrements as quickly as possible, and endeavoured to conceal themselves in every direc tion. The number of killed it is therefore impossible to ascer tain, but it probably did not exceed a hundred, including those who were drowned in attempting to cross the river. Two of the body-guard were unfortunately killed by a shot from the ar tillery, supposed to have glanced off a tree, or sonic other sub stance, which changed its direction. At ten o'clock a court martial was convened, before which forty men of the 47th were arraigned, found guilty, and adjudged to suffer c? Bath ; iineonse uence of which six of the worst of them were hanged on Thurs day morning, and the remainder sent in irons to Fort William. Since then, about seventy more from the different regiments have been taken and tried, of whom five more were excuted on Saturday, and the remainder sent to Fort William to be hereafter dealt with as the Commander-in-Chief shall think fit. The above is a correct account, as far as it goes, but into any of the reported causes of the mutiny we of course cannot enter. Suffice it therefore to say, that it is completely eradi cated, and that the several corps are anxious to be sent on ser vice, in order to wipe off the (we trust) temporary disgrace which their conduct has incurred ; and although we are not given to flatter, and it may be even impertinent to praise, we must say that the decisive and vigorous measures adopted by the Com mander-in-Chief so effectually put a stop to the riot, and root ed out every mutinous feeling, that the Sepovs have since de dared they would .undergo any thing in the world to wipe away its remembrance from the mind of Government, and rather suffer any kind of death than behave in a like manner again. This perfect restoration of loyalty, and the firm decided conduct of his Excellency, we think it particularly proper to make known—not for the information of the army, to which we doubt not that General Orders will communicate the particu lars, but for the information of the people of England, among whom, no doubt, the whole transaction will be commented on and exaggerated, in the ridiculous manner which charac terizes almost all their speculations upon eastern affairs. The estimate we have made of the number of killed in the attack of Tuesday is a perfect guess, and perhaps exceeds the actual amount ; but the very nature of the example renders the pre cise number of sufferers exceedingly difficult, if not quite im possible, to be ascertained. Had treble the number been slain, however, we are of those who consider that on such an occa sion it would neither have been lamentable nor excessive, which is all we shall at present remark on the subject.—( /fathom) By the Mellish, arrived off Exmouth, we have received advises from Calcutta to the 18th of .`levernber. The following official order on the foobject,of the mutiny at Barrackpore has been ' , q-sued by the Governor-General : "lt is viith much regret that the Right Honourable the Go vt.rnor,Oeneral in Council feels himself called on to announce to the Bengal Army the consequences of a most disgraceful or alloy in the 47th Regiment of Native Infantry, at Barrack- pert, on the lstinst., in which the corps was joined by a num ber of tepOys, equal to about two companies, of the 62d, and, pe7liapti, 21 men of the 26th Native Regiment. These corps nod been under orders of march for some time, and had expe- r coccd some difficulty in procuring carriage : this, however, was immediately removed on its being brought to the notice of GovernMent, by, an advance of cash to each corps, to aid tte Sepoys in procuring the necessary carriage-cattle for their b.ggage. As the event, however, proved, the difficulty served tut to cover a subterfuge—a bad spirit possessed the corps ; end when all difficulties were removed, and it was no longer ilateible to practice evasion, they refused on the parade to march, with the exception of about 180 men, and the non-commissioned and commissioned native officers. On the receipt of a report to this effect by the Commander-in-Chief, his Excellency imme- Uiately adopted the necessary measures to bring these misguided own to a sense of their duty. He instantly proceeded to Bar rackpore, and on the following morning having made a dispo rition of the other troops at the station, and those which had sr riied during the night, the Adjutant-General and Qurter 'nester-Gen eral of the army, with his Excellency's Persian In terpreter, and officer commanding the 47th Native Regiment, were deputed to make a last effort to induce the mutineers, El-awn up, loaded, and in regular parade order, to lay down ti:eir arms, but without effect. " Nothing then remained but to inflict the punishment so justly merited. The Commander in-Chief gave the precon aerted signal for an attack by a part of the force, the mutineers instnitly broke, and betook themselves to flight, under the fire of the troops who attacked them ; and such an example was made on the spot as the necessity of the case and the infamy of the regiment merited—the most guilty of those who were made prisoners having been subsequently executed by the sentence of a general court-martial. That a transaction so unusual in, .and , disgraeeful to this army. could have been planned, and carried into execution without the knowledge, not to say par ticipation of the native commissioned and non-commissioned officers of the corps, is not for a moment to be credited, com posed as the native regiments are in Bengal. Connected by relationship, and living as the native officers and Sepoys do, almost under the same roof, it is not to be believed for a mo- ment that the grossest neglect of the duty the former owed to the state has not been shewn by the parties in question ; the Governor-General in Council consequently considers the 47th regiment Native Infantry, including its native commissioned and non-commissioned officers, to be disgraced ; directs that No. 47 be strack out of the army-list, the native commissioned and non-commissioned officers to be instantly discharged the service as totally unworthy of the confidence of Government or the name of soldiers ; and that a new regiment, to be num bered 69, to which the European officers of the late 47th will be appointed, be immediately raised in its stead, for general service, agreeably with the detail as laid down in general orders 4:1: . the 11th of July, 1823, No. 65. " To the native commissioned and non- , :ommissionecl officers of the Bengal army, the Governor-General in Council now more Particularly desires to address himself. He is perfectly satis fied that no instance of insubordination can take place in a corps without such coming to their early knowledge. He here by demands from them a rigid execution of their duty, and oqierves, that even on the rumour of any discontent in a corps, ' - at is their particular duty to communicate it instantly to their European officers, and to exert their utmost endeavours to put down in the first instance any appearance of combination. His •bordship in Council further desires it to be distinctly under stood, that in failure of that line of conduct which is expected from the native commissioned and non-commissioned officers of the army, they will be held personally and collectively respon sible for any misbehaviour of the men, who are more imme- distely under their eye anti command in the lines than they can be under that of the European officers ; and that the most prompt dismissal from the service will be the inevitable conse q_itence of any want of exertion and zeal, or any abandonment of duty ; in short, he warns them to profit by the example of the 47th, who have drawn down on themselves a punishment tAsey most justly merited. " Tite Governor-General in Council. in order to make known the sentiments of the Government to the Native Army ac fully and correctly as possible, is pleased to direct that this order shall be translated into the Hindoostanee language, and printed in the Nagree character, for the purpose of transmission to carps respectively through the Adjutant-General of the army, utuler the orders of the Commander-in-Chief, who will be pleased to issue such subsidiary orders as his Excellency may consider necessary, draughting the privates of the late 47th, whose fidelity remained unshaken, into such regiinents as may appear most expedient." [We are also presented with the reports of three Courts martial held on the Sepoys implicated in the mutiny. The num ber tried and found guilty amounts to fin, of whom, however, only five have been executed, the remainder having been sen tenced to hard labour for various periods. The private letters by en-Mellish speak of the mutiny as now entirely quelled, and consider that it did not originate in any hostile feeling to the British Government, but from a general dislike to the war against the Burmese, an impression having got ground among the native troops that that country is peopled by magicians and denions. A large additional number of British troops is thought indispensable.] • the following account of the suppression of the late mutiny is from the Hurkaru (Calcutta Paper), of which the Judge- Adirecate is Editor. It must therefore ire taken as the apology of the Government proceedings : CALCUTTA, Nov. 9, 1824.—The Government Gazette hav ing published an account of the mutiny at Harrackpore, but by no, means either a full or a correct one, we deem ourselves au thorised to lay before our readers the whole particulars, which, 'from having heen upon the spot, we can assure the public are authentic. We shall give what we know in as brief and sum mary a manner as possible, but what we do say, our readers may rely . upon as being quite correct. The 26th. 47th, and 111 d Regiments had been, as we formerly told our readers, under marching orders for some time past ; and on the Ist instant, the second-named corps was to have proceeded upon its route. _ -loor several days befoie that there hid been sym . ptoms of dis -oantent displayed by the sepoys of it,•but not of a nature that thought likely to end in a serious manner,'and we shall ac :oordirigly db no more than •barely notice the circumstance for thcsalte of regularity. On Sunday (that is, the day before the 11th• was to lave marched) a parade was directed, in marching • order,aa is usual on all such occasions, and of which the intention ii;that the commanding offictt may inspect the knapsacksoccou-: trt•inents,A.c.to see that all is in good order for the general. service; •On going tO the parade,• it was officially reported to Lieut.:Col. gaftwrighe that a great number of his men had positively vfniced t 3 put on their knapsacks ; on hearing which,; he, forth *M.-proceeded to the right grenadier company, and ordered them t 3 go immediately and put them on, expressing at the ; same. time his displeasure at their conduct. Regent down all the companies, and the event was, that in about two hours' a uumberof the men had got their kniphiaEks on. Not to be ,t , k) minute, we go on to say that the Colonel then threw them a square, and harangued them for a considerable time, [From Cu! India Gazette, Nov. 18.] By accounts from Madras under date of the 3a inst. we regret to learn that an unfortunate affair had taken place between a small body of our troops and the garrison of a refractory petty Chief. A troop of horse artillery, under the command of Cap tain Black, being on their march from St. George to another station, when about thirty miles from Darwar, was ordered by Mr. Thackeray, the Chi e f Commi s sioner and Collector in that part of the country, to attack a small fbrt, the Chief of which had manifested a disposition to revolt, and had put him self in an attitude of resistance. An attack was consequently made; a sally took place from the fort, and the whole troop, as far as could be learned, there is much reason to fear has been cut off to a man (with the exception of Dr. Turnbull, the As sistant-Surgeon with the troop, who has fortunately escaped.) Captain Black, Lieutenant Sewell and Dighton, anti Mr. Tha ckeray, are, we lament to say, reported to be killed ; and As sistant-Collectors Messrs. Stevenson and Elliott taken prisoners, after being severely wounded. We have a lingering hope that some portion of this report may happily prove erroneous, and that some of those reported to be cut off may yet make their appearance. We should not have mentioned the thing at all, were it not that the report is quite current here, and that we think it is much better to state at once what the specific extent of loss is, than to leave it to be extravagantly over-rated by the tongue of rumour and vague mystification,_ which would perhaps magnify a mere skirmish into a great battle. From the Mofussil also, we have several letters referring to reports which we for the present deem it proper to keep hack. Perhaps the very silence on the part of the newspapers tends to foster reports, since there is no doubt mat they are current, although not noticed in the newspapers, where their appear ance would at once challenge inquiry, and meet contradiction if erroneous. From Bareilly we learn that the squadron of the sth cavalry which had arrived there, and were under orders to march off again on the 6th inst. to join thcii head-quarters, had been di rected to stand fast, in consequence of some intelligence from Aloradabad, to which we cannot more particularly refer at pre sent. , (From the Hurkara of Nur. iii, 1824.) The John Bull mentions a report of a disastrous occurrence which has taken place on the western side of India, and for once, we believe, his report. is correct, though worded with the most blameable vagueness, and in a style imitative of the mysteriousness often adopted by the Newspapers at home. lie understands that " a distinguished civil servant and - several officers have lost their lives." Why this pompous epithet " distinguished," and the contrast of lumping together the , " several officers ?" IVe do not much admire this phraseology, and our contemporary had better leave its use to others, if lie wish to preserve the patronage of the army of the possession of which he once was wont to boast, and no doubt eminently de served to have it. Besides, his manner of announcing the event is calculated to alarm the friends of a great many " distinguish ed civil servants," whereas the mention of his name would have eased their minds; and not, if true, have caused inure than unavoidable - pain to the friends of the unfortunate gentle man hin - hielf. We have not heard of this affair, but of another, regarding which our information ix not sufficiently minute to warrant our saying any more. Extract of a letter from Soormali :—The artillery and 39th have come up to Pendigong„ the 14th to Phoolhana, the 52d to Jattrapoor with the gun-boats, and two companies in Telegan, ' which the enemy have evacuated and gone to Munipoor, where they will not only get plenty of grain. but also annoy us much in getting through the Passes, and alige us to have hard fight , ing before we gain posseSsion of that station. CALCUTTA, OcT. 29.—We are happy to learn by . a letter from Sebranpoor, dated the 4th instant, the particulars of a very gallant exploit by Captain 'Frederick Voting, commanding the Sirmoor Local Battalion, With a detachment of 300 of his little (.iorkahs, aided by 30 horse under the Hon. Mr. Shore. • The party marched on the 3d instant, to Koonjwah, a Our bee and village, the resort of a large band of freebooters under three chiefs: Six hundred of the band were under arms on the approach of our troops, and kept up a heavy matchlock fire as well as litigant from the tiurhee. They were soon driven with loss mostly into the fort—the rest escaping by the back of the village. Posts were immediately taken up under cover, within 30 yards, to prevent their escape, and having neither guns to breach nor ladders to esculate, Mr. Shore KO posed that a tree should be cut down r.nd rigged, so as to serve for a battering rant. This was immediately assented to by Capt. Young, and executed by Lieut de Bade of the en gineers, who happened to be on the spot, and the assault was made forthwith. The Cattapulta, carried by 14 men, was brought .forward, and planted against the gate, under a heavy fire from our skirmishers, and notwithstanding the protection of spears from the gate, and the enemy's fire, it was soon torn off the lower hinges, and an opening effected. Captain Young and his gallant campanions, the Hon. Mr. Shore, Lieutenant de Bade, and Assistant Surgeon Boyle, were first to enter, and were promptly supported by their brave men. Every officer and soldier were engaged hand in hand, and the ene my's resistance was as desperate as might be expected from outlaws. Mr. Suotte killed seven in single combat, ant!, was wounded in two places on the breast, although, as we rejoice to learn, not seriously. The result of this gallant exploit was, that one hundred and fifty-three of the enemy were killed, and thirty taken prisoners, of whom twenty-one were badly wound ed. Leaving 100 men - in the Gurhee, to finish the business there, Captain Yoirs;n sallied out with the rest, and the horse, to cut up the fugitives, which was successfully performed during the night, it being luckily moonlight. In short, nothing could be more successful and complete than this exploit, and while it reflects infinite credit on Captain YOUNG, his corps, together with all concerned, we trust the example will have a good effect both on friend anti foe. Such a conflict as this could not, of course, take place with out loss to the victors. Our loss was five killed, and thirty-two wounded. _ (From the Singapore Chronicle of August 2.) On Monday last their Royal Highnesses the sultan, and Too Moongoong, of Singapore, had an interview with the Re sident. Two salutes were fired, according to custom, on the arrival of their Highnesses in town.. The subject of this meet ing, we understand, was the. fravaing of a new treaty, the particulars of which are not yet known. It is . , however, gene rally understood, that a cession of the Island Singapore in full sovereignty to the East India Company is its principal object. PARLIAMEN I'ARY PROCEEDINGS. ON TILE QUARTERLY REVIEW. We avail ourselves of the earliest opportunity to make one or two observations on the article on Railways and Canals in the last number of the Quarterly Review. The elements of criticism have often been asserted to be—malice, misrepresentation, ignorance, and impudence; and this " mor sel of criticism" we speak of is a precious compound of all these qualities, except perhaps the first. Whatever we subtract, how ever, from the score of malice, we must add to the account of igno rance. Interested pamphleteers and adventurers have already im posed too much on the public credulity, and now the Quarterly Review gives the sanction of its authority their falsehoods and fooleries. We lament the want of judgment. We must expose the want of honesty, for it is dishonest of the critic to pretend to be either an impartial or well-informed guide to others, when he is obliged to admit that his own only " guide nava he the pamphlet of Mr. SANDARS," the partizan. The affectation of ho%tility to projectors in general is wilful, but not successful. We have caught a glimpse of the author's foot, and though we are not a gambling animal, we will venture a considerable bet that he is as like an interested party, • As hypocrites in shew Are to true saints, or crow to crow ; and notwithstanding the chorus of Mr. PEE 1., Mr. WI 1.- MOT HORTON, Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH, Mr. WILBER FORCE, and Mr. BROUO:IAM, to Lord LIVERPOOL'S toast, that " where the arts were concerned there would be nothing like party in the country," the Lords of Liver pool and their Representatives in Parliament, and all the country know—that there is no party in any other matters now, and nothing but party in them. The Quarterly Review will lose its readers, if it admits such flimsy dullness as all that which is original in this article; hut it is dishonest dullness to give for gospel all that a violent partizan asserts, and stupid dishonesty not to have examined or understood those assertions. We have been furnished with information which convinces us that Mr. SANDAR.B cannot be trusted for any of his statements. But Mr. SANDARS himself will prove that this writer in the Quarterly is still less to be trusted. He says (p. 372 of the Review)" as the two existing Canals share between them a com plete monopoly, it would be idle to expect economy." Now what is the truth ? Why that there are three Canals instead of two, and the one which the Reviewer in his gross ignorance omits to no tice is the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, which Mr. SANDAILS, in his gross misrepresentation, hides his only mention of in a Note, p. 4, and one word, p. 17, of his pamphlet. Does the wilful suppression by Mr. SAYDAItS of an important part of the case justify the ignorant suppression of it by the Reviewer, who con fidently blunders on, asserting in p. 375 that a " third Canal is impossible, as the two existing establishments have the posses sion of all the water." 110CSE,OF COMMONS.

HART DAVE'S name a guarantee against all imposition, " Colonel TRENCH'S a se curity for all wisdom, and the subscriptions of 40 or 4,000 mer chants, manufacturers, and tradesmen" of Liverpool, infallible evidence of the " propriety and necessity" of a Joint Stock Company !—at a time when " speculation appears to rage," and the prevailing mania breaks forth in schemes, " the off:springer cunning upon creciolity, and nourished by folly and avarice;" where the gambling animals, the projectors, have a due re gard to their own particular interests. If the shares (of which they are the largest holders) bear a premium (which those of the most unpromising speculation are almost sure to do on their first appearance in the market), they sell out, and their object thus obtained, start upon some fresh game.

The Noble CHAIRMAN said he was about to travel out of the line of the toasts which had been put into his hands, but the circumstance which induced him to do it, was one of a most particular nature; and one in which they all equally rejoiccd—e he meant the presence of the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer—(A loud burst of applause, which lasted for a consie derable time, here interrupted the Noble Lord.)—He had parti cular reasons.for entertaining the highest respect and regard for his Right Hon. Friend, who had always gone straight forward in his duty, and he was sure that all would agree hi what those who were most intimately acquainted with him best knew, that an honester or a better man never existed.— (Immense cheering and applause.)—The health of the Right Honourable Gentleman leaving been drank with the same en thusiasm The CIIANCELLOR of the EXCHEUVER rose and saidea " How can I express, Gentlemen, the feelings which have been excited by the kind and flattering manner in which you have been pleased to receive the mention of my name? It is impos . - sible—l feel myself unequal to the task. But I assure you that it is no ordinary gratification —although I have not the honour to be an Irishman, and cannot pretend to the right of sitting as one of your Vice Presidents—yet I can assure you that it ia no ordinary gratification to me that I have the honour to attend this anniversary. I feel that, not merely from the utility and the benefit which this excellent Institution is calcu lated to bestow of itself, but because I lay peculiar stress, and attach peculiar importance to every circumstance which shall bring into closer connection, in any, the smallest degree, those who are my countrymen in England, and those who are my fel low subjects in Ireland—(Loud cheering.)—Although the hand .of nature has separated our two islands, yet the voice of nature tells us that we are one people, bound together by the common feeling of brothers.—Long may this anniversary be celebrated ; long may its influence spread, and its benefits be extended.-- Long may I have the gratification of believing that when your countrymen, within the precincts of their own land, are celebrat ing this day, which to Irishmen is so dear, they will reflect with no unkindly feeling upon that union which reigns here of all classes and all opinions, bound to the att a inment o f o ne o bj e ct-- that of rescuing these Children front what might perhaps other wise have been irretrievable destitution. Gentlemen, I drink your healths with all my heart, and wish prosperity to this Clety."— ( The Right Hon. Gentleman's speech teas received with an enthusiasm which we have seldom seen equalled. ) The Noble CHAIRMAN next gave the Irish Bar, and highly complimented the Attorney-General for Ireland. The toast was drank with three times three, and great ap plause. Mr. O'CoNNE at, in rising to acknowledge the compliment to the Irish Bar, said that he was in the habit of public speak' ing, and therefore he could not attribute to a want of expe rience the total inadequacy which he now felt to express his feelings. To do so would require the talents of that Gentlemafi to whom the Noble Marquis had alluded, and whom he no o publicly called for the first time his Right lion. Friend. I t would require talents like his to express that overflowing of the heart which had come over him, after the manner in which the last toast had been received by an assembly met fbr the highest of human purposes—that of exhibiting charity and be nevolence.
