B RITISH STEAM and PATENT NAYI _ _ GATION COMPANY. N consequence of the prevailing reports., that Parliament is shortly to be dissolved, I consider it to be myr dtity to'communicate, without fuither dely, the resolution • - have-taken of retiring from your servica whenever that event accurst. . • It is quite - needlesp for me to assure you of the very great pain 'with which I have thus determined to dissolve a connection of such tong standing, which has been so frequently, and, on your 'Flirt, so generously renewed, which has done me so much ho nour in public estimation, and which has been so gratifying to my own feelings and to those of my Family. But this deter mination has not been made without the fullest and most anxious • consideration of a concurrence of private and public citcnnistances. Of the first, I feel that no explanation will be -required bf Me; respecting the second, I will honestly confess that it has often been matter of deep regret to my mmd Stay repeated absences abroad, the necessity of which is but too likely, to recur, have prevented me from discharging, in a man ner satisfactory to myself, all those duties which I owe to my Constituents, while the mortification to my own feelings, occa sioned, by those omissions, has been greatly aggravated by the extreme indulgence which I have uniformly received at your hands. But I have, at least, the'satisfaction of feeling, that I . have never ceased to; act.upon those constitutional and indepen dent principles which I have always professed ; and it only re mains for me to return you my most cordial thanks for your long and great goodness to me. My gratitude can only cease with my existence, and the greatest favour that fortune could bestow .upon me, will be to ailbrd me an opportunity of proving its sincerity. I have the honour to remain, • Gentlemen, • ' Your faithful anti obliged humble Servant, WM. CAVENDISH BENTINCK. Londion, 21st June, 1825. Capital 500,0001. in Shares of 100/. each.

LEASEHOLD AND FREEHOLD ESTATES, AND GREAT TITHES,- GREAT SAMPFORD ESSEX. TO BE - .SOLD BY ;AUCTION, By BAKER and SON, on SATURDAY, the 9th day of July, 1825, at the Rose and Crown, Saffron Walden, at Three o'Clock, A LEASEHOLD ESTATE, called GREAT SAMPFORD PARSONAGE, pleasantly situated at Great Sampford, in the county of Essex ; containing by ad measurement 151 a. 25p. of excellent arable, pasture, and wood land, in convenient incinsures, and in a high state of cultiva tion ; with a dwelling-1)(41.1e, detached brewhouse,larre double barn, single ditto, st a bles, granary, . cart and cattle s heds, and other necessary out-buildings, now in the occupation of Mr. Thomas Harrison, a respectable tenant, who is under notice to quit at Michaelmas next. Also, the GREAT TItHES of the Parish of GREAT SAM PFOItD, containing upwards of 1700 acres of fertile arable and pasture land. . The above property is held ts4er the. Dean and Chapter of Canterbury, fur 21 years, renewable every 7, years, and was re newed in 1824. doubted, neglect for what we so highly prize, att,t oar fathers 'have so often bled for—freedom. This is all easily to be accounted for, India Is in a setni-har barous state : the genius of the people, hown - tr strange it, htay appear,is decidedly military, and, in despite of all the liberal hut most impolitic exertions of our Government to place them on the same footing, and impress them with the same feelings as British born subjects, they absolutely deride the idea, and apparently glory in their slavish propensities. But to return to my subject—Our Sipaltees are, with very few exceptions, of a superior caste, whosearade is war; whose ancestors, from time immemorial, have quitted their swords. but with their lives ; and whose religious principles are oppOsed to any more peaceful pursuit. These people have evinced in wards us the inOilvincible fidelity—they followed us to Egypt,- to the Isle of France, and to Java—they hale )vithstood the bribes and intreaties of their native Princes, and the execrations of the Priests—they have even acted, in repeated inatanees, against theirreligious prejudices, (which are particulirly strong) in going on board ship, and in wearing different articles of dress, which, under other circumstances, they would have considered the greatest 'of . degradations, and never would haVe submitted to. By their assistance we' have achieved unexampled victories and conquests—their bravery and fidelity have carried the British lion to the most distant parts of Ilindoostan, Over turned more than once . the united force of India ; and after every struggle, during which the British Government, from the number, power, and resources of its enemies, was to all ! appearance at its last ebb, procured for us a large addition of territory and wealth. _ These men then surely deserved every indulgence which could be afforded to them. Under their native princes the su periority of their caste anti the nobleness of their profession en titled them to respect, and doubtleSs, to various privileges not permitted to their less fortunate fellow countrymen. These were continued to them, or at any rate connived at, for years after the formation of our native army, although some of them would undoubtedly have been considered in an European army as irregular and prejudicial. There is no country in the world where the natives are so much the slaves of custom as India . l, what has been usual is to them a law, whether it relates to the most important,. or to minor points. By custom, they eat, drink, sleep, anti worship, (I think I scarcely err in adding, and think), and they cannot tolerate the slightest deviation from their established rules. They have not that high sense of nour or patriotism which would lead them unrewarded to devote their lives for their country's weal ; they could not comprehend such a feeling; but Still they cannot be called devoid of honour.. able principle ; or whence proceeds that devoted fidelity which they have ever evinced. towards us, and which forms so noble a . trait in their character? • COLOMBIAN AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION.

This important undertaking is supported by many of the l eading Merchants, Ship-Owners, 'and '. raders of the Me.: lrePolis,.who are deeply interested in promoting its commercial prosperity. , The necessity of giving to the Public-additional convenient Wet Doek and Bonding Accommodation near the seat of busi nets in the Port of London, and of securing to it a reduction' in Vie rates .and charges, has long been experienced. Moderate rates upon the landing, housing, rent,: shipping, &c. of goods, *re essential for the purpOse of bringing this Port nearer to a level in point of expence, not only with the other Ports of the • Empire to which the privilege of bonding is extended,' but more 'particularly with the principal Ports of the Continent of Europe; which, in consequence of their lower. charges, attract a $ very . large proporti on -of• th e transit which would - otherwise resort to' London. . - The proseritY which cannot but attend that lucrative branch of connnerce under the improved commercial Code of the coun try, especially if accompanied, by •a: diminution in. the Port charges, must be apparent front the great increase which even • under existing circumstances liai -already been experienced, since the passing of the Warehousing A ct i n J u l y, 1823 , Iteir.filth s of which increase has - been enjoyed by the Port of London.

I should, however, premise that India is only kept in subjection-by the large standing army. which is maintained by the Goi•ernMent, compOsed, as yon will observe, by referring to the Army List, (with the exception of :t few King's regi ments, two European regiments belonging to the CoMp . any, and a battalion Or tivo of arti/lerY,) of' nztive, in atll its branelkm officered by Europeans. The civil power, unsupported-by the military, would:.be totally inatlegrtate to the discharge of its commonest duties; not' from any great disairection to the Go vernment, but frorna contempt for all civil aulharitY.--a. gene ral disposition to resist any and all legal power, if not backed by a sufficient force ; and a most surprising, though moat un- Mercenary soldiers throughout the world, Whatever may be their colour or country, are, and ever have been, much alike— • kbod pay- constitutes their " SIIIIIMUM bonnm." I do not , blame our Sipahees—what other interest or feeling can they -hive in common with us? . none, surely. We ought then to consider ourselves fortunate in procuring soldiers of such value 'on such easy terms. The Sipahee has, in some respects, a 'greater excuse than another mercenary soldier; his family depends upon him for subsistence, and every officer must do him the justice to confess that his remittances to it are frequent and considerable.. The pay of a'Sipahee (seven rupees per menseni, equal to about 145.), formerly was to enable him to feed his family, and provide himself with the necessaries of life; but (luring the last few years the price of pro Visions has increased full 100 per cent., and the native soldier has been burdened with increased expence in point of' dress, particularly in some regiments, where the undress uniform, including its mountings, &c., has been repeatedly and unnecessarily changed, His privileges have been abridged, and his feelitigs hurt, by the order regulating the quantity of bag ge fora regiment on the line of march; which has had'the effect, as it. was intended, of obliging him, on all Occasions,,,Eo leave his family . hehind • him ; and he has been so welch harrassed by annual marches of 3 0r.400 miles, and' by the constant and increasing .duty to' which - now-a-days he is exposed:in cantonments; that a tOnfi. derable degree of dissatisfactio n m us t, an d ev id ent l y, d oee, per.' vade the Bngal army. 'This is but too plainly shewn 'by the numerous desertions which have for some time, taken place, more or less, froM every corps in_the service, and from every station ; however near to or remote from the seat of government, which has been incco-, trovertibly proved by the late lamentable and disgraceful oc. currence at the Presidency, which has thrown so deep a shade •on the before btilliant character Vibe Bengal army.. I cannot for a moment mean to advocate the mode which on that occasion . was adopted to procure an increase of' pay, butt will say and maintain (and every one acquainted, with the dis position, the peaceful, quiet, and 5 - enerel.excellent'character of the Bengal soldier, will concur with me in opinion), - that had • they not felt that, in justice to themselves and families, they •• were bound to require an increase 'of pay on their prOceeding to a distant country; the name of which they had scarcely. .heard, they never would have conducted themselves in such a manner. That they did not pursue a more legal and peaceful mode of stating their grievances, I ascribe chiefly to ignorance, and in some measure to a preconceived opinion that they never would have been attended to. But, however that may be, the result will, I am afraid, increase the prevailing discontent, and it will be well if it does not occasion a general disgust towards the service, in which case the safety of the country will be ma. terially endangered. . _ • After this long digression, I must proceed. :to inform you, that the occurrence above alluded to, .froM Which I apprehend such consequences, wa s a m u ti n y w hi c h has lately .brolren . out among the native troops at 13arr..ckpoor. The regiments quar tered there had been brought down from distant. parts of the Upper Provinces, in order that they might be near the seenemf hostilities (the Burmese country), and be prepared to join the army, cantoncd. during the rainy season, on th e frontier, when it was able to take th e field. The 47th regiment of native in. fantry was ordered to commence Its march inwards Chittagong on Monday the .Ist of Noveinber. On Sunday evening there. was a preparatory parade, in marching order, as is usual ';• during which the, regiment demanded an increase, and finally refused to march without it. The officers were obliged to lease the parade at nightfall, without having succeeded in re-estab lishing their authority. On the following morning, the general officer, with his staff, &c., repaired to the parade, where a few. , men were drawn tip with the native commissioned and non. commissioned officers, while the majority of the corps had, taken post in their rear, and in front of their lines. The general, with: some officers, proceeded to expOStulate with the mutineers ; and ' at last summarily desired therik" to lay, down their arms ; on. which they presented their - bayonets, and ordered them to fall back on their 'peril, and immediately afterwards sallied out, charged the small party drawn up in-front, and with loaded muskets formed on and took possession of the parade. The 47th. King's, which wason its way to 'the eastward, was immediately disembarked, anti the Royals (King's), with the body guard and artillery, w e r e ordered from Calcutta. L a dy and Miss Au= REIM' left BarrickPoor, and the rest Of the lathe's took refuge in the government-house, where Lord A,mnintsr also remain ed. The Commander-in-Chief, with his staff,;arriyed during the day, and in the cour s e of the' ensuing night the European troops, and body guard, made their appearance, and bivoucked in the park. During that night (Monday) the greater part of the 82d N. 1. and a - few of the 28th N: I. ,with their colours,. joined the mutineers,' and their EttropeEin officers,• who at tempted to save the' colours, were pushed off the parade. One rascal attempted, and, I believe, did strike one of them_ with his musket; but the others interfered, and would allow no in jury to he done them, though they all begged them to move aw a y.q u i c kly, for " that they were mad, and did not know what might happen." On Tuesday morning,the Commander-hi-Chief posted the troops so as,in a great measure, to surround the rebels, and on their again refusing to lay down their arms, a signal was made, ami.the.artillery opened in their rear with such effect, that they .were thrown into confusion by the first discharge, and Airiest immediately. broke; and dispersed in all directions, pursued by the (lovernor.Cietierars body guard(cavalry), and the light in.. lantry and rifle companies. Between 150 and 200 (sonic -ac counts said 400) were left dead on the field, and 80 or 100 were immediately made prisoners, tried by a Court-martial, and sen tenced to death.
