In the dispatches laid before Parliament since the opening of the session, relative to Sinde, we find the following important letter, addressed by Lord Ellen borough to the Secret Committee. It correctly states that, after late occurrences, there was no alternative but that recommended by Sir 11. Pottinger, to take possession of the country, and that the Ameers had no right to the territory, except the right of the sword. They were regular freebooters under the SOvereigns of Caubul, they conquered the native population, and then refused to pay tribute to their masters. " The abolition of slavery in Sinde," says his Lordship, has produced an extent of relief far beyond what I had expected." (From the " Corres pondence relative to Sinde, No. 140.). " THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL TO THE SECRET COMMITTEE. "Allahabad, June 26, 1843. "On the withdrawal of the British armies from Caubul to the Sutlej, I had to decide what course I should pursue with respect to the Lower Indus. I had to decide whether the Lower Indus should be altogether evacuated, and our armies everywhere resume the posi tions they occupied before the Affghan war; or whether, while the old positions were re-occupied upon the Sutlej, certain points should still be held upon the Lower Indus, which would ensure the strict perfor mance of commercial treaties, and give us the military command of that river. jsef, , 4 " . ; 1, " EASE AND COMFORT IN SHAVING.

" The withdrawal to the Sutlej, and the withdrawal from the Lower Indus, appeared to me to be very dif ferent questions. The withdrawal to the Sutlej was dictated by the 'clearest views of military and political prudence. I shall not recapitulate the reasons for that measure, as they have been placed on record in what has been called my proclamation of the Ist Oct., 1842. " I have adopted every measure which could have the effect of giving the appearance of triumph to the return of the armies from Caubul ; but still it was a retirement from an advanced position, and it was the first retire ment ever rendered necessary to a British army. " I was deeply sensible of the impression which the reverses at Caubul had produced upon the minds of native Princes, of the native population, and of oar own troops. I knew that all that had taken place since, and all I had said and done, although it must have much di minished, could not I;ave obliterated, that impression, and restored to our Government, and to our army, the place they had before held in the opinion of India. " To have added to retirement to the Sutlej, retire ment from the Lower Indus ; to have abandoned every part of the advanced position we had taken up in 1839 ; to have withdrawn from Kurachee and from Sukkur amidst the insults, and exposed, as we should have been to the attacks of the Beloochees upon our rear guard; to have practically abandoned, as we should thereby have done, all the benefits which we might expect ultimately to derive from the commercial 'treaties concluded in 1839 (for it was idle to imagine after what had passed, that, without the presence of force, those treaties would be observed) ; to have abandoned all the great prospective advantages which may be expected to be derived from substituting the Indus for the Ganges, as the line of military communication between England and the north west provinces, and to have left open to the ambition of the Sikhs, or of an European power, that route of which we had demonstrated the practicability and the import ance ; to have done all these things, without positive instructions from you, or without some overpowering necessity, would have been, in my opinion, contrary to my duty, because inconsistent with our national interest and the national honour. " Such a measure would have confirmed the most ex aggerated accounts which had been circulated of our disasters. It would have been humiliating to the army. " There was no overpowering necessity for retirement. There is no difficulty in holding the positions of Kura chee and Sukkur. The first is, during the largest por tion of the year, accessible in a few days from Bombay ; the latter is, during the whole year, accessible in less than three weeks from Ferozepore. We can besides command the river by our steam-vessels, if we have a sufficient number of them well adapted to the navigation, "The misinterpretations placed upon some provisions of the commercial treaty, and the various violations of its letter and of its spirit, even while our armies were in force in Sinde, satisfied me that, unless some penalty were imposed upon the Ameers for such infractions of their engagements, there could be no security whatever for their future observance.

" I saw troops collected by the Ameers, contrary to their usage, and without legitimate cause ; but such col lection of troops in the presence of a British army is, in itself, an offence, and an indication of hostility not to be misunderstood or overlooked. " With respect to the authenticity of certain letters of intavo, to thP or ki s agents, you will have observed how strongly rmpr to upon Sir Charles Napier the necessity of caution in coming to a decision on that point. I had, however, the fullest reliance upon his sense of justice ; and with this reliance I felt that he, on the spot, with every opportu nity of personal commmunication with those conversant with such matters, was infinitely more competent to form a correct conclusion than I could be at Simla. To him, therefore, I confidently remitted the question. " I am satisfied with the grounds upon which he de cided that the letters were authentic. " Major Outram's doubt as to the authenticity of the letter of Meer Roostum Khan to the Maharajah Shere Sing, appears to have rested upon the circumstances of the party whose information led to the seizure of the letter being inimical to Meer Roostum Khan ; but, as suredly, information tending to criminate Meer Roos tam could not be exp&ted from one of his friends. Lieutenant Postans believed the document to be genuine: Major Outram's suggestions to Mr. Clerk, as to the use which might be made of the letter, could hardly have been given, had he entertained a serious doubt of its authenticity. Mr. Clerk never had the opportunity of elucidating., in a personal conference with the Maharajah, in which he thought it could best be done, the doubts to which this letter and the intercepted letter. to Dewan Sawan Mull, gave rise ; doubts which in his mind must have had reference more to his belief in the loyalty of the Maharajah, to whom the letter was addressed by. Meer Roostum Khan, than to his confidence in that of Meer Roostum, who was unknown to him. Mr. Clerk truly observes, that he does not think the question could, at any time, be well judged of here,' that is, at Simla. I thought so too, and therefore referred the question altogether to Sir C. Napier, and the officers employed in Sinde. " It appears, by Sir Charles Napier's letter of the 17th November, that Major Outram had doubts whether Meer Roostum was privy to the writing of the letter; but that the letter had his seal, and was written by his con fidential Minister, there was no doubt. Lieutenant Brown assured Sir C. Napier that there could not be the slightest doubt of the authenticity of the letter. There has been no officer employed in Sinde upon whose opinion I would more confidently proceed than on that of Lieutenant Brown. Everything that has come to my knowledge, with regard to that officer, has tended to make me entertain a feeling of great respect for his ability and character. " But while doubts have thus been thrown upon the letter of Meer Roostum to the Maharajah, none have been entertained with respect to the proposed agreement between Meer Roostum and Meer Nusseer Khan, ' bind ing them to act together in every affair, whether for good or evil, peac e or war ;' which proposed agreement, to the best of the judgment and belief of Major Outram, is in the handwriting of Meer Roostum himself. When that proposed agreement is considered, in connection with Meer Nusseer's conduct, and with the collection of troops, before any intimation was given to the Ameers of any intention of proposing any modification of the treaty, it is impossible to view it in any other light than as an act of hostility. " Thatthe letter of Meer Nusseer Khan to Boehm& Boogtie bore his seal there can now be no doubt. The seal upon that letter, by all before believed to be that of Meer Nusseer, was found to correspond exactly with the seal upon a letter of that Ameer, which bore also the handwriting of his confidential moonshee. " Much care appears to have been taken to investigate all the circumstances attending the escape of Mahomed Shurreef. It seems impossible to doubt the participation of Meer Roostum's Minister in that escape of an enemy to the British Government, proceeding to act hostilely against us. " I cannot admit the convenient doctrine that a chief is not to be responsible for the act of his Minister. That Minister, known to be so hostile to the British Govern ment, remained with Meer Roostum to the last. " I have endeavoured to judge my own conduct as I would that of another ; and I cannot think, in reviewing it, that in the circumstances in which I stood, I was un justified in requiring from the Ameers the specific modi fications of their engagements, which I instructed Sir Charles Napier to propose to them. " Th4e modifications of the existing treaty involved on our part the abandonment of a considerable revenue, payable to us every year by the Ameers, under the name of tribute. They involved, undoubtedly, the sa crifice, on their part, of lands of more than equivalent value ; but the penalty imposed did not seem dispro portioned to the offence I had reason to believe they had committed. " You have been long in possession of the reason which induced me to think that the abolition of tribute was in itself a good. You have also long been aware of the grounds on which I deemed it politic to make a gift to the Nawab of Bhawulpore of territory which formerly belonged to his state. Had you disapproved of the general principles upon which the new treaty proposed to the Ameers was founded, still more had you disapproved of the intention I had announced of holding military possession of certain points upon the Lower Indus, after the evacuation of A frghanistan, I presume that you would have acquainted me with that opinion ;, in the absence of any intimation to that effect, I had reason to suppose that a new treaty, based - upon those principles, if legitimately obtainable, would not be unacceptable .to you. " Had the Ameers seen • .fit to reject the treaty pro posed to them, and to support that rejection openly by arms, tliey would. have, pursued a legitimate course, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING SUN 7 FEBRUARY 8, 1844.

At last, having drawn the British General into the vicinity of Hyderabad, having then actually signed the draft of the treaty, they, with a portion of their troops, made a treacherous attack upon the residence of the British Commissioner, and, with all their forces united, they opposed the further advance of our army at Meeanee. "It would be to take an incorrect view of the treachery of the Ameers were we to regard them, from their first acquiescence in the proposed treaty, in the first week of December, to the attack on the residency on the 15th of Fehruary, as proceeding upon any other principle than that of collecting all their forces to sur round and destroy our army, while they endeavoured to deceive the General by professing their readiness to submit. " When Sir Charles Napier gained the battle of Meeanee he had 22,000 men in his front ; but he had also had for some days 10,000 men in his rear, who had crossed the Indus to attack him. " Such large assemblages of armed men cannot take place in any country without much previous prepara tion. It was in this case a levy en masse of the ruling tribe from every part of Sinde. " Our first duty is to our own army; and it is duo to that army that we should not forgive, or leave without the most exemplary and deterring punishment, the far seeing and long-designing treachery by which its de ' struction was to be effected. " The example of the Affghans at Caubul was fol lowed by the Beloochees at Hyderabad; but the spirit in which they were met was very different from that which at Caubul led to the destruction of a British army. " It was my duty to mark such conduct by an extent of punishment which should be a warning to every chief and people in India, which should give future security to the persons of British Ministers, and protect British troops from treacherous aggression. " The battle of Meeanee entirely changed the posi tion in which the British Government stood with respect to the Ameers of Sinde. "To have placed confidence in them hereafter would have been impossible. " To have only exacted from them large cessions of territory would have been to give them what remainea as the means of levying war, for the purpose of regain ing what was ceded. "Foreigners in Sinde, they had only held their power by the sword, and by the sword they have lost it. " Their position was widely different from that of a native prince succeeding a long line of ancestors, the object of the hereditary affection and obedience of his subjects. " They had no claim to consideration on the ground of ancient possession, or of national prejudice. Certainly they had none arising out of the goodness of that Go vernment. To take advantage of the crime they had committed to overthrow their power, was a duty to the people they had so long misgoverned. "It was essential to the settlement of the country, that I should take at once a decided course with respect to the Ameers; and, having no doubt that I was justi fied in dethroning them, I determined on at once adopt ing and announcing that decision. " Their removal from the country with which they were no longer to be connected as Sovereigns was a mea sure of obvious expediency. It has apparently had the beneficial effect I anticipated from it. The willing ac quiescence of the people in our rule, and the adhesion of many of the chiefs to our Government, are already the just rewards of an unhesitating and decisive policy, which, in taking away every hope from the Ameers, has given confidence to their late oppressed subjects. " Some resistance on the part of the Ameers I regard ed as not an impossible event, and I considered that, having once felt our strength, they might thereafter be more strict observers of their engagements. Treachery, such as that we experienced, had not come within my calculations. A victory, decisive as that at Meeanee, and gained under such circumstances, was to me a wholly unexpected event. As I have said, it entirely changed our position, and I was compelled at once to decide what policy should be adopted in the new state of things. I could not, for the reasons I have given, rein state the Ameers. Any other arrangement than I have made would have imposed upon us all the burthen of protecting a government, without affording us the means of benefiting the people or ourselves. Any half mea sure would have failed. Adopting the decisive measure of taking the province into our hands, I determined to *Ph secuTit yvagw el om i nibiw i t_to omit any step by " The Ameers were removed beyond sea. All arrears of revenue due to them on the day of the battle of Meeanee, were remitted ; the transit duties were abolished ; the neighbouring States of Joudpore and Jussulmere were, as well as Bhawulpore, interested in the overthrow of the Beloochees, by the intimation that their ancient pos sessions would be restored. The inhabitants of Sinde were assured, by proclamation, that the property of all who laid down their arms would be respected. As far AS possible, the former officers of the Government were employed, and everywhere as little change as possible has been made, beyond that essential change of substi tuting justice for injustice in the administration. The police has already attained some degree of efficiency. The most able engineers will be employed for the pur pose of surveying, and of restoring, if it can be done, the ancient water-courses, whereby the country was ferti lised, and especially that, first closed by the vindictive and destructive policy of the rulers of Sinde, which once gave prosperity to the dominions of our ally the Rao of Cutch. " The vast tracts which the Ameers have converted into shikargahs will also be surveyed. Such of the woods as it may be necessary to retain will be carefully preserved ; and extensive portions of land, having the richest soil, lately reserved for hunting grounds by the Ameers, will be restored to cultivation. " Some of these measures have originated with my self ; in others I have been anticipated by the Governor of Sinde ; in all, I know I shall have his most cordial co-operation. " One of the measures which, in the first instance, I adopted—that for the abolition of slavery—has produced an extent of relief far beyond what I had expected. I was by no means aware of the degree to which that dreadful scourge of mankind had added to the misfor tunes of the people of Sinde. "It is impossible to calculate the extent to which, by opening ancient courses to the waters of the Indus, and by extending the means of irrigation, we may im prove the productiveness of the soil. As little can we calculate the extent to which the assurance of protection given to the people may . increase their industry, and thus finally promote their prosperity. You may be as sured that no exertion of mine shall be wanting to make the conquest of Sinde by the British arms no less the source of happiness to the inhabitants of that country, than of advantage to our own." LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of the Shareholders was held at one o'clock yesterday, at the terminus, London bridge. The meeting was made special " for the pur pose of assenting to, or dissenting from, resolutions, with reference to taking on lease one or two of both lines of railway projected between Brighton and Hast ings, and between Shoreham and Chichester, and for working the same by this Company." John M. Parsons, the Chairman of the Company, presided over the meeting. The notice calling the meeting having been read, The SECRETARY proceeded to read the report. It stated that the receipts for ordinary traffic in the last half-year, ending 31st December last, as contrasted with the corresponding period of 1842, exhibited an increase of 9,885/. Bs. 6d. There was a diminution of about 7,500/. in the working expenses ; the result of the whole being an increase of net revenue of 17,3001. Agreeably to the expectations held out at the last meeting, great reductions had been carried out in the traffic depart-' ment, and in other parts of the Company's expenditure. The Directors of the South-Eastern Company, having intimated, on the 29th of November, that they were prepared to enter into negotiations, with a view to lease the London and Brighton line, the Directors intimated their willingness to consider any proposal which might be made to them. On the 11th of January, the South-Eastern Company offered a rent of 100,000/. a year for twenty-one years, upon condition that no COM petiug line were made. The Directors had informed the South-Eastern Board that they had resolved not to accede to the terms offered, but that they would submit the proposal to the approaching general meeting. The Shareholders were now invited to consider this offer. The final account against the South-Eastern Company, had been rendered, and the total amount of their claim, exclusive of dividends, was 364,958/. 12s. 10d. A reso lution would be submitted authorising the Directors to bring the matter to a settlement. The reduction of fares made in August last, while the advantage to the public was unquestionable, had not been at all preju dicial to the Company. The Report concluded as follows : " Since the last meeting mortgage bonds at 5 per cent., to the amount of 20,000/., have fallen due, which the Directors have renewed at 4 per cent. " At the last General Meeting the Directors were deprived of the satisfaction of proposing any dividend—on the con trary, it will be in the recollection of the Proprietors, that at that time the adjustment of the interest account caused an extraordinary charge of 19,4401. Os. 9d., which left a deficit of 3,3031. 19s. 4d., to be provided for out of this half-year's revenue, and the Proprietors will also observe an additional charge to its debit of 1,245/. 17s. 6d.; for claims which arose in former half-years ; but the Directors have endeavoured to guard against future arrears of this kind, by adopting mea sures to enforce the punctual delivery of the accounts. " The Directors propose a dividend of 1/. per share, amount ing to 35,1561., which will leave a surplus of 2,. , 10 1 . 18s. 11,1. to the credit of the current half-year.

" The Directors, in conclusion, cannot avoid congratulating the Proprietors upon the progressive increase of the traffic on the line, and the general prospects of the undertaking." The CHAIRMAN said that as the report entered into considerable detail, his observations need not be very extended. The expenses of the line were 26 per cent. The smallness of the amount arose, in a great degree, from the circumstance of a large portion of the line running over those of other companie.. The two main objects in the report were the amalgamation of their working expenses with the Dover an d C roy d on R a il way Companies, and the leasing of the two lines. On these subjects he was not prepared to make any definite state ments • the general economical result could not b e doubted. Another important point was the leasing of the line by the South-Eastern Company. With respect to the offer of 100,000 L, in order to enable them to form an opinion as to the propriety of accepting or re jecting it, he thought it best to refer the Share holders to the results of the last half year, with a view of ascertaining what was likely to be the amount of their ultimate profits.—(Hear, hear.) The receipts of the last half-year . exceeded those of the corresponding period in the previous year by eleven and a half per cent. The interest paid in the year 1843 on the balance was 56,9721.; the surplus remaining at the present time was 37,6661. This left a clear net receipt of 94,6001., from which they had to deduct 1,080/, being the difference between the surplus balance of the Ist.of January, 1843, and the dividend on the South-Eastern money, which was credited to that half-year, leaving a clear net income of 93,5001. He would put it to the meeting whether, under such circumstances, it was de sirable to accede to the offer of the South-Eastern Com pa ny.—(lrear, hear.) The two projected lines of railway afforded an additional argument in favour of retaining possession of their own line. These two lines had undergone a good deal of investigation on the part of the Board. Traffic cases had been obtained from persons conversant with the subject, and the results were before the meeting. 30,0001. was the amount of the existing coach traffic, not taking into account posting, goods, or casual sources of profit, or that augmentation which all railway companies expected to occur. It was encou raging to know, that in spite of all that had been said about the Brighton Company having no country beyond it, the traffic had been doubled within two years. He would be happy to give any information as to the traffic cases of the two companies. With respect to the esti mates, whilst they would guarantee them, they would not give any guarantee with respect to anything of a contingent nature—(lleac, hear)—but he thought, after what had been said on that subject, there was not likely to be any ground of complaint. —(Hear, hear.) The account of the South-Eastern Company was now delivered,- and he trusted that the matter would be brought to a satisfactory settlement. A t the last meet -ing considerable discussion took place with reference to the amount of 11,6001., charged for ballasting. It was satisfactory to find that a reduction of 3,000/. had since. taken place.—(Hear, hear.) With respect to the income arising from this line, it should be observed that, while 20s. per share was the amount of the dividend, the re sult of the business would afford 245. per share.— (Cheers.) It had been thought desirable to retain a surplus of 2,500/., lest there should he a falling off in the next half-year. It was a cheering circumstance that the business of the last half year had been carried on with out any accident, and that public confidence in the line seemed perfectly restored.—(Cheers.) They must all be acquainted with what had recently been said in Parliament in relation to railway accommodation. He felt confident that whatever might be the dia -1 position of certain parties, the Government would give Railway Companies fair play. lie believed that no complaint could be made against this Company as re garded third class passengers.—(Hear, hear.) The fares for second class covered carriages, were lower in amount than the fares formerly charged by coaches for outside passengers. The third class passengers are generally persons of considerable hardihood. lie be lieved that the complaint of insufficient accommodation originated, not with the class of persons for whom third class carriages were intended, but with persons who, judging from their appearance, could afford to pay a higher fare, and who wanted first class accommodation for third lass fare.—(Cheers and laughter.) At the last meeting it was stated that they had made an arrangement with the Croydon Company for carrying out the proportion of toll. The advantage of the arrange ment which they had made was,that they might alter their fares if they pleased, without suffering any loss in con sequence. In conclusion, he begged to say, that he had already intimated his intention of resigning his situation as Chairman of the Board of Directors. That step he felt to be absolutely necessary, on account of the pres sure of the duties which he had to perform. He had consented to retain his position for the present, but only until a successor could be appointed. Various rumours had been circulated to the detriment of,. the Beard, but he thought it best to treat them with the contempt :which, in his opinion, they merited. . lie would be happy to answer any question which might be put to hiai pre vious to the adoption of the Report. Mr. THOMSON said there was no allusion in the Re port to the suit pending between that Company and Sir Isaac Lionel Goldsmid. The CHAIRMAN said that the shit in question was not now proceeding. A PROPRIETOR inquired what would be included 'in the intended amalgamation with the Croydon and Dover Line, and when the amalgamation would take place ? The CHAIRMAN said it would include all moveable plant; baggage, stock, engines, and everything else would be put under one management on the Ist of March. Mr. WISHAW complained of the falling off in the profits requ - `iced tie serion's trftentiblis'ilriV Al'Acbe,thought respect to the general profits of the Company, ,consider ing the splendid weather of the last half-year, and the visit of a portion of the royal family to Brighton, he be lieved that they had arrived at the maximum number of passengers.—(Cries of " No, no," and laughter.) • Mr. W. CASH suggested the propriety of a still further reduction in the rate of fares.--(clear, hear.) The ad ditional amount received was, he believed, greatly owing to the reduction which had already taken place, and he believed that with judicious reduction this railway would carry thousands where it now carried hundreds.—(hear.) Mr. 11. COOPER called the attention of the meeting to the state of the steam communication with France. They must not rely too confidently on the promises of the Steam Navigation Company. In his judgment, this Company ought to take the matter into their own hands. Mr. P. TAYLOR spoke of the necessity of increasing , the number of Sunday trains. If the Legislature were either not able or not disposed to pass a Sabbatarian Bill, to restrict the power of the people to leave the metropolis for pleasure on the Sunday, no directors of railways had a right to accomplish that object by a side wind.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped Sunday trains would be established to the full extent of the public wants, Coupled with the interest of the 0 - isepany. The CHAIRMAN observed that the . Dover Railway provided precisely the same amount of accommodation on Sundays as the Brighton railway. With respect to the question of carriage, he begged to observe that they already carried all the goods between Brighton and London. He could not at all agree with the gentleman who thought that they had reached the maximum num ber of passengers. He believed that the increase in the last half year was not in the least degree attributable to the royal visit, which had been referred to ; he thought the aug mentation arose from permanent trains.—(Hear.) The Report was then adopted by the meeting. Mr. GRENFELL proposed the following resolution:— " That this meeting do approve and confirm the deci sion of the Board of Directors, declining the offer made by the South Eastern Company." • Mr. ALLFREE seconded the resolution, which - was carried unanimously. Mr. NASH moved:—" That the Directors have power to take a lease of the projected Hastings Railway, at the rate of four per cent. upon the cost of construction, provided such cost do not exceed 475,0004, upon the terms proposed by the Directors in their resolution of the 16th of January last." Mr. WIGAN seconded the resolution. Mr. Wisuww proposed, as an amendment:—" That it is not expedient for this Company to agree to the pro posal of the Directors for taking a lease of the proposed line by Lewes and Hastings, unless a condition be at tached to the arrangement, that a guarantee be given that one line only to Hastings be sanctioned by the Le gislature." The amendment having been seconded, The CHAIRMAN pit the question to the meeting, and the original resolution was carried, with two dissentients. Captain KELLY proposed the following resolution:— " That the Directors have power to - take a lease of the projected Chichester line at a rent of four per cent. per annum upon the cost of construction, provided such cost do not exceed 300,0001, upon the terms pro posed, by the Directors in their resolution of the 19th of January last." He would only observe, in reference to this resolution, that they had had applications for three times as many shares as there were to be dis- tributed."—(Cheer;.) Mr. CROWLEY seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. ROWLAND DILL moved a resolution empowering the Directors to adjust the differences of the Company with the South Eastern Company, in relation to the sale of the joint portion of the line in such manner and upon such terms as they might think fair and reasonable. Mr. KING having seconded the: resolution, it was passed without a dissentient. It was then moved by the CHAIRIifiN, and afterwards seconded, " That a dividend of twenty shillings per share, deducting the income-tax, be and is hereby de clared payable on the 15th of March next." The retiring Directors were re-elected. A vote of thanks having been given to the Chairman, the mee;ing separated. CONTROVERTED ELECTIONS.
