The address to the Commercial Gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland, respecting the In( ome-tax, has been received, but we fear there would be little use now in publishing it. Should a rareting,however, be held on the subject, we will Fta'c the resu:t. have no room for Mrs. Fry and the King of Prussia.

All the accounts received from.lndia confirm the pre vious news of the destruction of the British force at C Lbool. By the blackest treachery on the part of jiZZBAR KHAN a massacre of our troops took place un p,irallele:d in atrocity in the records of the most savage warfare. We will not here inquire by what "mismi nagement on the part of the military commandersiof the irce at Cabool the army was reduced to the necessity of cepting a dishonourable treaty at the dictation of the Aff ;!.; ;tan Chief. That will be investigated hereafter. Enough iat a treaty was signed by AKBAR KHAN guaranteeing for our troops the safe evacuation of Affghanistan. Hardly, however, had the British army commenced its ::treat when AKBAR KHAN issued proclamations calling u c on all good Mussulmans to rise and destroy the in-. file! Kaffirs. A copy of one of them was trans mitted to India, of which the following is a trans lation :—" I, MOHAMMED AKBAR KHAN, by the C race of Got); Lord of, &c., have slain the Lord of the Kaffirs, and am about to drive them out of the country. It is your duty to annihilate them on the road; rise up, ,:arreund Jellalabad, and exterminate the infidels." The I .md of the Kaffirs here alluded to,is Sir WILLIAM MAC- N.G.IITEN, whose treacherous assassination is thus avowed by the KHAN. As the . Shah SOOJAH obstinately re to. quit Cabool with the British troops, remaining la hind at the head of 3,000 men, there is every reason ta believe that he was quite aware of AKBAR'S treach e.-ons intentions. For our own part, we are as fully per suaded of the fact as if we had before us the evidence of f::e concoctors of this foul conspiracy. According to tba best accounts the British force at Cabool consisted ia all of 5,000 fighting men and 7,000 camp followers. They left Cabool on the sth of January, the snow was then afoot deep ; they had nut sufficient clothing, and wore miserably off for food. On the 7th they entered the Khoord Cabool Pass, where the enemy poured down peon them from all sides, and a frightful slaughter .et zued. The following day such as escaped were again tacked en the Hufft Kothul, a bleak precipi tt as mountain, where, benumbed and power with cold, nearly the whole sepoy force miser ably perished. The guns were spiked and abandoned, ana the ladies who had accompanied their husbands in these Unprecedented perils given up as hostages to the traitor AKBAR, who pretended that he could not repress the murderous attacks of the Affghans. Feur ,taiive regiments were here destroyed,' the_3cl,3sth; .-cd . 5 - 41ly - Bengal Infantry, and a Regiment of the ailat's. Her Majesty's 44th still struggled on till al. Commander, Brigadier ANQUETIL, who succeeded Ganeral ELPIIINSTONE, was killed. This was en the 12th—seven days after the evacuation of Cabool. _1 panic seized them, they were thrown into con fusion, and no longer recognised the authority of their officers, some of whom they struck with their nxaskets. This accelerated their destruction, and nothing was now left but.every man to shift for himself. The destructive result has been already stated. Such is the lamentable news from Cabool. But our loss, though dreadful, is far from being irreparable. We have still a powerful force in that country, which requries only to be concentrated under an Jut able General to reverse this sad record of our disasters. We have 10,000 troops, under G eneral NOTT at Candahar, 1,000 at Ghuznee, 2,000 at Jellalabad, and 1,200 at Khelah-i-Ghilzie, making a total force of 14,200 i.ten. A reinforcement of 30,000 men has been ordered from India, which requires only to arrive in time to effect the complete subjugation of the treacherous and cruel Affghans. What is most wanted at this moment is an intelligence in India capable of guiding the valour of our troops. With the highest opinion of the military talents of our ' , `facers, we are constrained to avow that recent events Cabool have forced upon us the painful conviction, ;:!at had they not been wanting in military foresight ;,:a1 prudence, we would not have to record the d'stressing intelligence found in our columns of this day. Valour is one of the least of the great qualities essential L, the success of a Commander-in-Chief in carrying on a war in such a country as Afghanistan. • We have a terrible struggle before us in Afghanistan and China ; 'out with firmness, prudence, - and ability, we ~hall be carried triumphantly through it. We havo no grounds for exultation, neither have we any room for klz!zpair. In warring upon the Afghans we no longer .seek Nengeance for the treachery of a Chief, but for the Ircaohery and cruelty of a whole people. A MYSTERY EXPLAINED.—It will be seen that after :HI the praisings and boastings of the Liberal party — both Radicals and Whigs—the income tax has passed the House of Commors without a division against the . .itsolutions which impose it. But in justice to those ;steadfast friends of the people who have been night by i;iglst at their post to prevent the passing cf this inqui sitorial Act, it is our duty to state explicitly that the kissing of those resolutions without a division, arose entirely from accident ; for on all sides it was admitted that.tjae Chairman of Ways and Means, Mr. Greene, was notto blathe in this matter, further than, by reading in the low and very indistinct manner in which 4lways conducts the important business of his office,. the Members who were watching the proceed ir;.s were not aware of what was passing. r.Elle Chair was taken, as usual, by Mr. Greene, on the Speaker leaving his, and he proceeded, without sayin; u word of caution to the House, to read the first resolti- Vett. Mr. Rice, the Member . for Dover, rose - ,tulle this ras going on, and not being called upon bithe Chair . man, sat down again. Me low and r.ionotonous tone which the resolution Was read thriJughout did not at tradt the notice of the, Members .at,'• a distance from the Oh:nr, nor did any, of these, Iniduding Mr. Rice, we 'e,lieve, hear the c_ t uestion put 'by the Chairman. Mr. Wallace had r= i s en at first when „Mr. Rice did, while q3lewitt's,.iimendment was under discugsion ; but Rice Firing been called un 'at that time, 1 ,,,1 `,acing r',Sen while Mr. Greene was proceet'in apne.s.rs that all, the -Members who ILL .: speak were trusting to his stopping the'Cfluirman in time; this, however, was not done; for understood that this extraordiny omission arose l'rew Mr. Greene being somewhat short-sighted, and Mr. :ic es being rather dull of hearing. The surprise on both ei:Z e s of the House at there being no interruption to the •, i eeStion evidently was great. it will be seen that it was ieepossible, uteler the forms of the House, to remedy this elvder, and thus it is that these all-important resolutions blatTe slipped. through the Committee witlivot a division takes by those very men who were pledged to op cvery stag e th e pass i ng of thost most odious p ro - These men, however; must not he blamed.

" Who runs may read." 201Z1EXGN. The extraordinary expresses receired yesterday from Mar seilles enabled us to anticipate all the foreign news brought by this day's post. PAIZZIATOCZNT.II.IOr. The House of Commons met last night, and the .first busi ness was to amend the return for Weymouth, the two seats for which had been improperly taken from the Liberals, and were last night restored. Sundry petitions were presented against different parts of the tariff. Mr. Wallace gave notice of motions to improve the Court of Session in Scotland, and for the production of the Corehouie correspondence. Duncombe's notice, and Mr. Currie's question, we have referred to in the6leader. - In reply to Lord John Russell, Sir Robert Peel said, he expected to lay the amended tariff on the table on Monday next. The Dublin Police, and the Licensed Lunatic Asylums; Bill, were read a second time. The Forged Exchequer Bills Bill went through a Committee. Sonic discussion took place un the amendments moved by Sir Thomas. Wilde, having tor their object to extend the inquiries of the Commission, and alloW every man, connected with the matter, to have a fair hearing. One to make the Commis sioners hear counsel was lost by 77 to 64; the others were in general agreed to. The House, after Mr. Blewitt had moved an amendment to the motion for the Speaker leaving the chair, which was not persevered in: went into a Committee of Ways and Means, to consider the income tax. A good deal of talk seems to have banished 'Members from the House, qr sent them to sleep ; and Sir dobert Peel's first resolution, fixing. an income tax on vs, was agreed to, nobody welt knew how. Lord John Rus sell, who was absent from the -House when the resolution was passed, made up, he supposed, for not dividing on the resolution, by threatening to divide on , the Report. We had formed an opinion, however, in the early part of the day from the leading article of a certain Whig journal, that all serious opposition to the income tax was to be given up by the Whigs. The result of last night's proceedings confirms that opinion, and henceforth it will probably be more honourable for the Whigs, and more useful tor the country, if they give up al sham opposition, and allow Sir Robert Peel to have his own way in the beginning, as he will have it in the end, spa7ing the country a vast deal of insincw or meaningless talk. The House hating pawed a re solution,to saddle the peopl e wi th an i ncome tax, adjourned at Twelve o' Clock. PirnMaC OrXNIO.T. The Chronicle thus briefly alludes to the last disastrous in telligence from Affghanistan :—" There appears in the Indian press a strong disposition to censure General Elphinstone for the convention signed after the murder of Envoy ; and it is said that nothing but downright fatuity Could have induced him to march out of his cantonments, which he Might have 'safely held for another month. Without more precise infor mation, it is impossible to say how far these stricture's may be founded in justice. In some quarters, it is stated that the con vention was forced upon the commanding ticker =tithe poli tical agent by the garrison. This, at all events, should sug gest caution in adOpting such strictures. A large force is ctn. centrating at Peshawnr, and the utmost energy was apparent in preparing to retrieve these disasters. Upon the policy of this proceeding at least these still, we apprehend, he no differ ence of opinion. As to the course ultimately to be 'pursued in Affghanistan, it rests upon the same grounds precisely upon which the expedition was undertaken." The Morning Herald says :—" At what cost will the new expedition into Affg,banistan be made? Already Lord Auck land's ddclaration of Simla has expended at least twelve millions sterling, and has brought the Indian treasury into a state bordering on insolvency ; hal involved the East India. Company in debt, has begot one loan, has caused the expendi ture of India to exceed its revenue by one million and a half sterling, and has retarded the material prosperity of British India. Whence are the funds for new I)ooranee wars to he derived ? are the ryots of India or the people of England to de tray their cost? Will capitalists lend en the security or the wilds of Central Asia? Sir Robert Peel has distinctly told' us that permanent derangement of the Indian finances must disorder those of thelmperial treasury; is there any hope that Aff ghan wars will re-pay their expenses? Can Lord Ellenborough, Napoleon-like, make trans-Indian hostilities maintain them- 1 selves? Financial considerationi, as well as dangers and diffi culties, must give way to Considerations of nat;onal honour. This is true ; but whatever course is decided, let it not be en tered on in the dark; let the country know and understand its position and its liabilities, and the worst that is to be appre hended." The Advertiser reverts to the question of the income tax, in the following terms :—" Never was there a measure against which so much was said, or so little done, as the proposition for burdening the country with this iniquitous tax. The re cess has now come to a close, and though the unpopularity of Sir Robert Peel's scheme has become greater every day, its chances of being defeated are as remote as they were on the day of the adjournment, or even more distant ; for then, at least, the people felt prepared to second with energy any vigo rous lead that might have been made towards the indignant re jection by the nation at large of the obnoxious project. If this had been done, the Minister would never have dared to press his odious proposition, and we are compelled to tell the clamourers against the income tax, in the words' of Coriola nus, that—' They who should find them lions—find them hares.' For instead of putting on a bold and determined front, they have shrunk in timidity before the party who would hunt them down, and they hire only muttered complaints where they should have thundered defiance." The--Pact observes, with reverence to the news from Affgha nistan—" Looking as coolly as we can upon the whole disastrous transaction from the commencement, we have reason to come to the conclusion that our own errors are chiefly to blame, and that our own energy must set all right again, so tar as the honour and power of the nation are concerned. While, there. fore, we mourn for the brave that are no more, and deeply sympathise with the sorrow of many an aching heart for the fathers, husbands, brothers, sons, who have.died in this lament able defence and retreat ; let us remember that, as Britons, e are not to grieve, but to -xert ourselves, and that our duty is to efface the memory ,of temporary defeat by permanent triumph." The Times has the following remarks on the subject of the Indian news :—" 'We are saying as little as we can well make up our minds to say, when we express our feeling that seldom has there been a British officer whose conduct stood in such grievous need'of explanation as that of General Illphinstone. As long as he was in command, from the beginning to the end, the British movements seem to have been characterised by a weak ness and indecision as unworthy as it has proved fatal. From the first it would seem, by our accounts, General Elphinstone discou raged or prevented the more rigorous measures which were urged by Sir W. Macnaghten. In a position where the defen. sive course was plainly impracticable—wlen to be inactive was simply to starve—he allowed (as we are told) a supposed—or perhaps real—despondency and vacillation in the trool,s to pre vent that bolder line of conduct which, dangerous as it might have been, was the only one which was open to him. Even the small captures of grain which enabled the troops to retain their position as long as they did, were undertaken " at the so licitation of the Envoy.' " MONEY—TILILDM—CORITAERCE. The run upon the Greenock banks for gold, immediately on the failure of the Reofrewshire house, last Thursday, was un precedented, but the call was fortunately supplied to the full demand, and a meeting held declarativo of their stability. The liabilities of the bankrupt firm will exceed 200,0001., to meet which, the private estates of the partners, Mr. Napier, of Black stone, and Mr. Roger Ayton, will yield but little. They have been gazetted, and the first meeting is fixed for Monday, April 11. NAVAL AND NEXLITATLY. • The regiments proceeding to India are the 10th, 29th, sEtth, 61st, and the 78th infantry, with others, that will altogether amount to between 8,509 and 9,000 troops. The naval depart ment is also most active in increasing its stores : a contract for 100,000 gallons of rum has been announced, being the second since the commencement of the year. During the present year, sine new ships will be launched at the various dockyards of Woolwich, Deptford, Chatham, Ply mouth, and Pembroke; besides s'eamers and other small vessels. Three hundred men marched from Canterbury yesterday, to proceed to India. 14.11.1 AT AND POLICE. At Bow-street yesterday .1. Hedgcock, errand boy to Mr. Morse, clock and watchmaker, Chatingicross, was committed to take his trial for stealing two gold, vratehei and other arti cles, value 35/. 10s., the property of his master. Yesterday, at Lambeth-street, Miry Newton, an unfortunate femee, was brought before the Magistrate, charged with at tempting to cut her throat, and also with cutting and wounding a young woman who lodged in the same house with her. It appeared that the prisoner, disgusted with the life she had been leading for the last eighteen months, had made the desperate attempt, and her friend had been severely cut while wresting the knife from her. Tb;,• Magistrate remanded the prisoner till some asylum could 'oe found for her. Eleven of the soldiers implicated in the late outrage at Stockport, have been committed to take their trial at the en suing Chester A2sizes. TMEATRICAL. Madarn: . .

This morning et tit ,. o'clock, an inquest Was held iii the Board-more Afiddlesex Hospital, before Thomes \Vakley, Esq., M.Ps, the Coroner; on view of the body of Robert Holkan, aged (12 years, who committed suicide under the following circumstances. The deceased resided at No. 5, Grease-street, Tottenham Court-road, and formerly earried.on a very extensive business as a music engrAter ; but about five years ago, in consequence of his wife eloping wiih aisother man, he abandoned himself to habitual intemperance, ‘ comkletely muddling himself," as on e of th e wit nesses described it, with cold gin and l water; from the time he got up to the time he went to bed. Embarrasstnrnt of his affairs followed, and eventually his mind becania affected, and ultimately he was considered by those who knew him as actually insane. about G o'clock on Thursday morning last be was found lying in his bed with his throat cut with a razor. He was immediately brought to this hospital, and survived until Saturday morning, when lie expired. Ver dict—" Temper ry mental derangement." ihe Coroner, in reference to the fact of the deceased's wife having left him, re marked that any wife was justified in running Away • from a drentard. It is stated in a letter from Algiers, 20th ult., in the Commerce, that orders had been given for an expedition, to start on the 24th to Medeah and Milianah, from whence the territory was to be ravaged, and the expedition would, it was supposed, move towards the East, on the side of Bugia.

A THIEF CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TtLAP.—.IOII7I See ile, an evangelical-looking young ir an; was indicted for being found in the cellar of Mrs. Walter; a publican . , at Pudding-lane, on the night 'of the 1 Ns of March. . . Two gentlemen named Nile and Cla r id ge , s t a t e d that t h ey were passing the house about midnight, and they saw the flap. leading to the cellar from the street open. They listened, and heard sc-meboay groping below. Instantly they closed the flap, and one stood on it, while the other ran for policeman Hart, 529, and Everett, 589, who came and • searched the premises, where they found the prisoner with a candle, nit lighted, in his hand. The ex planation of the prisoner was, that having no particular lodg ing, and, being fatigued, when he saw the cellar open he thought he might as well avail himself of the landlady's hos. , pitalit., and he was much displeased at the rudeness' of the gentlemen who 'disturbed him. His character, he said, was bey( rid imputation, as his brother in the City-road could prove. The police called upon the brother, who said he knew nothing of his brother for the last five years. The Counsel for the prisoner, Mr. PAYNE, argued that though the prisoner was found in the cellar, he might have got in through the premises up stairs at night before nine o'clock, in Which case he could notbe convicted of theburglary. The Jury found the prisoner guilty. It turned out, on further inquiry, that the prisoner was a watch-Movement maker, but he had not worked for some time at his trade, and he was known to prefer the company of thieves. The RECORDER said an examxle must be made to check the frequent rubbery in public-houses, and the prisoner was there fore sentenced to transportation for ten years. Amongst the prisoners is Catherine Merris, spinster, aged 30, charged with stealing a loaf of bread, value 33d., the pro perty of George Schramm. She has been in prison since the 16th of March. • POLICE INTELLIG EN CE. BOW-STREET-(THIS DAY.) Wm. Miles, and George Groom, two young lads, placed at the bar together, were charged, the former with unlawfully collecting money to the amount of 10s., belonging to his mas ter, Thomas Wood, and the other with embezzling the sum of 16s. sd. The case of Miles was first ent ere d into. Mr. Wood stated that the prisoner Niles had been in his ern' boy abeut three months. He received 10s. on Maundy Thursday_ from a customer, and had not accounted forit, ness forgave him that, an d sent him ',bow. his business. 'Since then, however, he had been going about to all witness's cus tomers, endeavouring to collect money. None of the parties, however, being present to, whom the prisoner had applied, on this count the prisoner was remanded till Friday next. George Groom was then charged with errbezzling the two sums of 12s. sd. and 45., the property of his master, Thomas Halls Meyer. The prisoner Miles was also mixed np in this' charge, and it appeared that, as the masters of the two boys re.. sided next door to each other, the prisoners were respectively acquainted with their employer's concerns, and so had a fine opportunity of carrying out any little rascality which might appear to them to be desirable.

No case of the slightest public importance was brought be fore•the Court this morning. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 5, 1842. UNION HALL-( THIS DAY.) Mary White was charged with robbing Ann Wilson, her sister. The complainant stated that she was a married woman, and the prisoner, who was her sister, had been for some time residing with her. About a week ago, during her temporary absence from home, the prisoner absconded, taking with her a quantity of wearing apparel belonging to witness, whose drawers and boxes were ransacked of nearly all they contained. Com plainant, however, would have put up with the loss, severe as it was to a poor woman like her, rather than proceed against so near a relative, if it had not been for the fact of her husband accompanying the prisoner in her flight ; and un natural as it may appear, they were found living together as man and wife. '1 he prisoner denied stealing the articles, but she did not utter a word with respect to the absconding with her sister's husband.—She was remanded. ELECTION COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) WIGAN.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. (THIS I) A Y .) A SpeCialCourt of the Common Council of the City of Len don was this day held at the Council Chamber in the Ottildball. The Right Hon. the LORD Meltea took the Chair at tvreleie o'clock precisely. The minutes of the last Court were read, and certain pre liminary business transacted. THAMES EMBANKMENT. The Report of the Thames Navigation Committee having been read, and its adoption moved and seconded, Mr. DAVID WIRE said: that before the Report was agrees to, he wished to ask a few questions. First, he was desirous to know whether any estimate bad ever been made, as to the probable expense of carrying the proposed improvements of the river banks into execution ? An HON. MEMBER observed that the matter was finny ex plained in the Report. 11r. WIRE said that all he asked was to have the Report re leered back to the Committee, for the purpose of further infor mation on the subject being obtained. He certainly did not understand the Report in the sense in which some Him. Mem bers seemed to do. An HON. Mearsea observed that thelmprovements would, in all probability, pay the expense. Mr. Write ;said the objects of the proposed improvements were to narrow the channel of the river by making embank ments, so as to produce uniformity in the hanks of the fiery and rapidity of current in the stream It was proposed that this be carried into effect, not by the CorpLration, but by individuals, ho would acquire the right to the soil obtained by the Lments which they made. . What would be the effect of that? What was 'the consequence of the vinbenkne nt merle for the purposes of the New llcuses of Parliament? Wby opposite the Adelphi end Privy-gardens ar. immense shoal of mud was collected; where all the elerosits of the stream were accumulated. A similar result would'be produced in ether localities, unless the improvements were carried sin:ultancously thrergba u t th e whole length of the river banks, and thus a pestileiitial air ,would be produced in the immediate neighbourhood of the river, to the great danger of the health of the City. Sir C. MA fistie i i. Vb , ctved, that it was the Corptration them selves who first made encroachments on the banks of the Thames. He thought that the last thing which the Court ought to sandlots, would be the narroeine of the channel, ordle erection of buildings close to the river. 'I hev ought riot let Slip the reppor funity of making improvements. They ought to bear in mind the beautiful plan of the Duchess Dowager 'of Rutland for a ter race from Waterloo-bridge to Westminster-bridge. The mud bank in front of the. Adelphi had* been accemulatii g•for years. The accumulation had commenced long before the embankment fee the new Houses of Parliament had, been 'commenced. Such had been the improvement in the river in consequence of that embankment, that tteatners could now approach the shore at the lowest state, of the tide. Those who had the management of that embankment would of oeurse take care 'that no large buildings should be constructed near the river. Those possessing petit ertY on the banks of the river, such as 'the Duke of fluceleuch oe Ilobert Peel for example, would no doubt willingly do whatever was required, .ancbpay the Cor poration for the new frontage, if they could thias IlecOrne pos. teased of the freehold. Mr. DAVID WIRE hoped the 'Hon. Geptleman would give them some information a s t o h ow the. proposed' plan was to be ,carried into effect. The Chairman had said tact 'definite plan had been agreed upon, except that there should be an embankment. He (Air. Wire) did not ivies by Agreeing at once to the recommendation of the "Coaraiittee, to pledge the Coetet to do that which hereafter it ,might be found exceedingly, difficult to carry into execution. he Wished in know precisely what were the 'Foe era which the Committee sought to obtain ; if he obtained that inforMation he should be satisfied. He thought it would be .well to bear in rinnd the resolution de. former Court, en die subject ef forming public walks for the recreation of the eitez,e,s, on any proposed em bankments; wed if the Report were to be'referred back again to the Committee, he would recommend that they should take the whole 'subject, including of course the formation' of these publie walks, into their consideration.and report thereon to the Court. In allusion to what had laden from the Worthy Alder man, es to the probability of the Duke of Bucclench, Sir. R. Peel, and other gentlemen being willing to purchase thelreehold of the embankment in front of their respective Onnisiens, he (Mr. Wire) hoped that the Court woutel lever give"its consent to any measure which should enable :he proprietors of mansions on the banks of the river to • shut rut the pnblie.---(Cteers.) The banks were the property of the : City, and why should any one have the power of shutting out the citizens?—(Cheers.) . pie hoped the.t som e c l ear an d intelligent expl ana ti on wou ld b e given, so that they might know exactly what it was that' they were about to do. Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL explained. Alter a few words from Dar. Peeecocx, Mr. Ham, said that the Report 'merely sugeested a plan for the improvert ent of the river, but did not state how it was to be carried into effect. It any project for the improvement of the river should come ler fore the Committee, they would lay the same before the Court. By the proposed plan. 01 embankment, there would be really but little contraction of the actual width of the river—it merely went to level the ex isting inequalities. Ile thought there was no advantage in having the river too wide, as irethat case it would be apt, to be Choked up by the accumulation ,of deposits. Mr. Bien was desirous of' givieg all the:information in his power. The Navigation Committee weridesirous of obtaining the sentiments of the Court on w hat he considered would he the foundation of one of the greateet improvements ever made in the navigetion e of ; ;Ain Thames. Contreittee did not e itele for :aregpotiera 'be e rend • What they at eresent yeereneseel. •Ni ithei the last few years, in teeesequerte.e of the iperease in st,ain navigation, a ncoesexty had arisen for providog, additional landings; many piers and - eutroachments had comequently been thrown out into the river without the sandier of the Corporation. In other canoes their sanction had beep btaineel.'"Wl*tethe:Committee sstenmoned otftudiug parties. to the l'eladiiiin-lintne' to' answer for these encroaeshinents, they were .airiertred that they had *emitted equally objectionable encroactilate4 ill other parts. ...The Committee were, therefore, deeffoui.. to put an end, to this ss stem, by getting a 'hoe drawn, beyond which no prejeetioris should take, place into the 'river.

GOVERNOR-GENEttAL's PROCLAMATION. Intelligence -having been received which leaves no room to doubt that, after the British force at Cabool had maintained its position against overpowering numbers of insurgents for more than six weeks, the officer commanding had judged it ne cessary, in consequence of a failure of provisioni to agree to a convention with the enemy, and to reti r e, in reliance on the faith of that convention, towards Jellalabad, when the troops, exposed to the worst rigours of cold and privation in the moun tain defiles, and harassed by treacherous attacks, suffered ex treme disasters—the Governor-General in Council deems it proper to notify, that the most active measures have been adopted, and will be stedfastly prosecuted, for expediting powerful reinforcements to the Affghan frontier and for assisting such operations as may be required in that quarter for the 'maintenance of the honour and interests of the British Government. The ample military means at the disposal of the British Go vernment will be strenuously applied to these objects, so as at once to support external operations, and to insure efficient pro test ion to its subjects and allies. A faithless enemy, stained by the foul crime of assassination, has, through . a failure of supplies, followed by consummate treachery,. been able to overcome a body of British troops, in a country removed, by distance and diffiCulties of season, from the possibility of succour. But tho Governor-General in Council, while he most deeply laments the loss of brave officeis and men, regards this partial everse only as a new occasion for displaying the stability and vigour of the British power, and the admirable spir:t and valour of the British Indian army. CANDAIIAB. Nothing very late has been heard from - Candahar beyond the news of the tribes collecting round Suftur Jueg at llhala, ar.d dissension having already commenced among themselves as to the plan of attack on the city. Atta Mahotred, the reb.l leader, had sent to endeavour to steal the cloak of the Prophet, which is'eushrined at Caudally., for the purpose of using it ac a banner to lead on the Moslem army against the " dogs cf infi dels," and the shrine was consequently guarded 'with care. The 10,000 men who form the force at Candahar seemed t 3 give great confidence to the people of the city, and General Nott htsd expressed his intention of receiving the enemy below the walls. lie can scarcely inded move to any great distance with more than a fraetion of his furee—having scarcely car riage for 2,000. The road is still closed between Quetta and Candahar and Killa Abdoola, - in the valley of Pishcin, in the city of the re bels, but the Seines and Tereenees of the valley relive to t ssiet the Deorinee views irgainst - us, and have sent to this effect to Atta Mabemed. The . Pisheenees are a quiet industi ioua people, and although it is said they can contribute to the Atcheezyes 2,ooo.rghting men, if li , rd pressed to do so, they avoid war as a rule, and care only for cultivating the ground, which requires all their labour to yield subsistence to their families. This disposition of the Pisheenees is advantagemis, as their country lies so imrdediat ly between Candahar and Shawl. At Quetta the breastworks have been completed and every preparation made to receive the enemy, but at present all is quiet; the tribe, having moved towards Candahar, and on their prospects there much of their' future movements will Times, Feb. 9.

(Prom the Ponibay Times.) General Pollock's brigade Wee moving on. with all possible despatch, and expeceed to reach Peshawar on she 3d current. It was the general belief in camp, that he was resolved on attempting the Pass without delay, in conjunction with Co lonel Wild's brigade. But the General is too clear-sighted to do so rashly; and frem all that We can gather, the force at his disposal, though as efficient for its size as any can be, is too small, and that un ese he can oeereriwer the Khyberees on their own ground, and dispossess them of the heights command ing the Pass, he cenhot force . his way without severe loss. We are wry much obliged to one of our old friends who has kindly sent us the following account of the late " cutting through' in the les her Pass, and feel very great pleasure ltt publishing the Detachment 'Order, convinced that all parties therein named have fully merited ail the praise accorded them. We have received other accounts also, anti all give most un qualified praise to the Sepoys of both reeiments for their truly gallant and spirited behaviour; the 64th Native Infantry, from their position, bore the bruit of the day's work, and most gal lantli they did it. Many, in this station, will observe with pleasure the mention of the names of their old acquaintances, from whom all that is brave was . to be expected. Lieutenant Alexander, of the Engineers, had a very narrow escape, a shot having struck the button of his coat over the chest, but luckily was turned iff ; the blow was, of course, most severe, but he is doing Well. The accounts of the murder of the wounded men obliged to be abandoned to their fate, are horrifying e these Khyber aseages appear to glory in blood, and to mangle bodies for sport. Sickness is lendingits aid to the accumulation of dis asters at PeshaWar, about eighty sepoys being admitted daily into the hospital with dysentery. The 60th are said to have but 150 men fit for duty, after deducting the usual and ne cessary guards.' . “ Camp Rawulsar, 29th January. This letter will give you a partial account of the manner we cut our way back through the Khyber pass. You must first know that on the 15th of this month the 53t1 and 64th were ordered on to Ali Musjid. We according marched, at ten o'clock O. night on the 15th, got through the pass unmolested, and reached Ali ele , jid about eleven next day. Our men started with nothing but their great coats, and officers marched as lightly as possible ; the remainder of the brigade was ex ; peeseel e tenheeeefollow ed us in a day er two after, but on our ap . pearieg at Ali )lusjel (for what earthly purpose we were sent there'tiod ereewenit was the signal for the whole of the Affreedis to be up in arms agairiefeers, and to attempt feeefiut tip the pass, which they have done most effectually, and no gold winnow ieduce them te open it. Brigadier Wild, with the 60 h and 30th, attempted to force the pass on the 19th, in order to join us, but 1 am sorry to say he was beaten back with heavy loss in men, baggage, gee. " On the 230 another attempt was made, when he soecceded in knocking down the breastworks of the enemy, which had been built in the narrow defiles. All this time we were hemmed in us Ali Musjid, stalling ; the Sepoys. were put on half ra tions, aed were nearly perishing With the cold, having no cover ing at night but their great cysts, arch the canopy of Heaven for tents. The . officers fared the same, having to eat for eight days but chuputees and bull-beef, which was only fit tit give to . dogs.. At last we got desperate ; Wild could not join us, and the pass was shut in every direction. . It was at length deter mined, when there were only five maunds of attah in store, that We should bravely cut our way back, Brigadier Will at the. sante tithe making a demenstration in our favour at the mouth of the pass, "So, accordingly, the dawn of the 24th s,att our two corps under arms, and we bid adieu to Ali Musjid. We had no sooner left the fort thin the whole of the surrounding hills steatilled with Airreedis y the 'little baggage that some of us had we had mode t<p our minds to have destroyed the night be ' fore, rather than it should fell into the hands of the enemy. The thrifts Of the sick ikefe also breken tip, and some ammunition dettroyed. The enemy kept annoying our rear the whole day, and, with their long ,jazails, that carry an enormous distance s , the,y had greatly the advantage over our men.

It will also be good for the hu mane man to contemplate the picture of distress and misery effected merely to pander to the caprice of folly, and knavery; but I should hardly think Government can have entrusted suCh powers to him, and that it is a vain boast of Capt. klaines.
