SHIPWRECKED FISHERMEN AND MARINERS' BENEVOLENT SO CIETY. (From the Post Magazine.) We have frequently advocated in these columns, the cause of the above-named excellent Society, and we hope with some little success. Our attention is again drawn to it by a handsomely-printed volume, which the So ciety has just issued, containing a list of donors and sub scribers up to the close of the past year. To this list is appended the names of Mariners and Fishermen, who are members of the Society. Although the number of Mariners and Fishermen thus enrolled may, at the first glance, appear extensive, it is comparatively small, when it is considered that the charity has been established ex pressly for the benefit of this particular class, and that the annual subscription is only half-a-crown. Our belief is that the Committee, indefatigable as they have been to promote the interests of the charity, have confined their attention too exclusively to the means of procuring assistance from benevolent individuals who have no connection with the sea service, instead of adopting some efficient system for making the objects and operations of the institution known among the class of men who are most deeply in terested in its success. This may have arisen from the circumstance of there being thousands of seamen who have no home but the ships in which they serve—a constantly varying residence. Although seamen, how ever, do not always keep to the same ship, they gene rally keep to the same port; and we apprehend there would be little difficulty in carrying out, by the means of local agents, some system by which every seaman in the British mercantile navy might be afforded the means of enrollinc , himself as a member of a Society to which he would hold it to be en honour to belong, and to which he would feel that under the calamity seamen are so frequently exposed to, he might look for assist ance he could nowhere else expect to receive—assistance which, as a member, he would not only be privileged to ask, but, from the regulations of the Society, would be entitled to receive. _ _ _ It may be seen what can be effected by local exertion, by referring to the lists of Mr. A. ,T. Hutchings, of Tooley-street, Mr. James Stephens, Ratcliffe-highway, and Mr. William Laws, High-street, Wapping. The Charity, in reference to its objects and the claims of members, may, in fact, he considered a "Seaman's Be nefit Society," and when the proverbial liberality of the British sailor is considered, and his reckless indifference to the value of money the moment he gets it into his possession, it is quite clear that all that is requisite to en sure the enrolment, is to adopt means for making known to him the blessings which the Society is calculated to afford to himself and others engaged in the perilous ser vice of earning a livelihood on the deep waters. We observe that, during the past year, the very large El= of 2,5001. was distributed in relief of cases of the nature of those above referred to ; and as the annual subscription is only half-a-crown, and as there is a re gulation that " should it happen that demands are made on the funds of the Charity beyond what it is able fully to meet, then members of the Society and their families are to have prior consideration to other applicants," it is to be expected that every seaman and fisherman into whose hands these remarks may fall, who has not yet enrolled himself a member of the Society, will consider it a duty he owes to himself and those who may be de pendent on his exertions, to hand in his name to the nearest local agent, by whom he will be furnished with a handsome medal, as a seal of his connection with the Institution. A striking instance of the value of this medal, and the importance to mariners of becoming members of the Society, has been recently afforded. Last Wednesday fortnight, James Mathews, a seaman, called at the So ciety's office in Bucklersbury, and entered his name as a member. He sailed from London the same evening, and on the following Sunday morning could descry his home from the mast head. The day opened calmly and beautifully ; but the serenity of the morning was fol lowed by a tempestuous noon, and during the hurricane that arose the vessel foundered, and all on board perished in the very sight of their families and friends. What pen or tongue shall attempt to picture the feelings of the orphan children, the hopeless widow, and the agonised parent who witnessed the afflicting scene. Two days'After wards the body of poor Mathews was found on the shore by his own father, and conveyed by him to the desolate dwell ing of the bereaved family, whose distress was heightened by the appalling fact that they did not possess the means of affording decent interment to him who had bees their sole stay and support. The Society's medal was found on his body, but the meaning of it was not under stood, as none of the family had seen it before. One of the villagers, however, wrote to Mr. West, the Secretary of the Society, for information, giving the circumstances of the case, when the Committee wrote back by return of post, stating that the medal had been given to Mathews on his enrolment as a member, on the pre ceding Wednesday, and that, in consequence, the Com mittee had remitted a sum of money for the funeral expenses, and to afford the means of present subsistence for the widow and children, who, without such assist ance, would, at this moment, have been inmates of a workhouse. Where is the seaman who may read this simple and affecting narrative (and hundreds of a similar kind have occurred) who will not hasten to enrol himself a member of the Society? What is half-a-crown a-year, and where is the nun, with the heart of a British sailor, who w ill at t y he cannot afford such a sum, in order to secure for some shipwrecked brother mariner, or for himself, or his own family, in some day of peril, the benefit and blessing of the Society's protection? If the maritime reader is a married man, it would be culpable, it would be cruel, to lose one unnecessary moment, in securing for his family the advantages arising from membership ; if he is unmarried, will he prove himself so unworthy of the noble character of a British seaman, as to say he cannot afford half-a-crown a year towards a charity whose benevolent operations are exclusively in favour of his own class, even if happily he might never, in his own person, have occasion to make a demand upon the Society's funds? Five glasses of grog less in a year,would do the business. We would go even further, and say, " let none be satisfied, simply, with the fact of their own enrolment," but let each make it his business, and a point of honour, to ascertain that his shipmates are members of the Society, as well as himself. Let the man who re fuses to become so, for we cannot suppose there will ever be above one such a man on board any single ship, be sent to Coventry—let there be in every forecastle a Coventry corner, so long as there is a man in the crew without the Society's medal. It would be a glorious sight in the eyes of Europe, a circumstance never to be obliterated from the history of the world, if the entire mercantile navy—and why not the entire mer cantile navy—why should there be the exception of a single man?—should thus voluntarily enrol themselves as a society for mutual protection and relief under those casualties to which, in the nature of their perileus occupation, they are continually exposed. If the public, generally, have hitherto done so ranch for them through the agency of the Society, how much more will the benevolent be disposed to do when they see the mariner himself taking his humble part in the business of the Institution, by becoming a member? Nothing, we feel assured, is wanted to effect this great end, but that seamen should be afforded the means of enrolling them selves. How this is to be effected must be left to the judgment and exertions of the Committee, to whom the naval profession are already under so large an amount of obligation. That those relieved are grateful to the Society we have abundant means of knowing. We will cite one instance. On a Sunday at the close of the past year, sixty fisher men, belonging to Cromer, on the coast of Norfolk, most of them men who had fought and bled for their country, proceeded to the parish church, and knelt down in a body in the aisle, returning thanks to God for the blessings that had been conferred upon them, and the many who had received relief from the Society, through the hands of its local honorary agent, the benevolent Mr. Robert Herring. We implore those who may have their attention drawn to the subject for the first time, by this notice, to fill up in their own minds, the scene of misery, of which, in the instance related of the poor fellow Mathews, we have drawn so hasty and imperfect an outline; and we have no doubt that many a cheerless hearth will have comfort and hope brought to it by the aid of the appeal we have made—feeble though it be—in favour of the destitute families of Shipwrecked Mariners. Before concluding this notice, we would call the par ticular attention of the officers in her Majesty's navy, to the objects of the institution. Many of them, including the brightest names in the service, aro active members of the Society; but there are others who have not iden tified themselves with its operations. We would im press upon them the value of their not only recording their own names as members of the Society, but causing its objects to be explained to the men under their com• mond. Nothing 'but the most zealous co-operation of the men and the public can enable its managers to alle viate so large an amount of misery as has been occa sioned by distressing shipwrecks. REDUCTION OF VIE THREE-AND -A-HALF PEE CENT. ANNUMES.—The proposition of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, it is said, will be to reduce the rate of interest from 31 to 3 per cent. The amount; of stock upon which reduce annuities are now paid is about 250,000, ; and a tion of -1 per cent. would, therefore, leave a klance of 1,250,000/. per annum on this account, in favour of the aiational income. `We understand that the trial of Thomas Wilson, lately spirit-dealer in Greenock, and presently prisoner in the jai 1 here, indicted for the murder of his wife, is to take place A tEdinburgh on the 14th of the present month—Greenock „dickertiser. DLNNER to DANIEL O'CONNELL, Esq., M.P., at COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE, cn TUESDAY NEXT, to show the sympathy of Englishmen with Irishmen, and tho admiration entertained in this country, for the constant a Ivocate of the Rights and Privileges of Irishmen for mere than forty y .a , s.

By order of the Committee of Ma nn agement, JAMES corrocK. 3, Cleveland-row, sth March, keeper, and every person whose income is not derived from land, finds in the increased price of corn nothing but expenditure, without return or advantage ; and, from one end of society to the other, no man can show a beneficial interest in the corn-laws, save the one class—the landlord class. Greatly to the honour of even this class is it, that enlightened, worthy, and sincere supporters of a repeal of the corn-laws, are to be found even in their body. Men who can see beyond the extremity of their nasal organ ; who can see that the prevalence and continuance of class legislation must ultimately bring ruin and destruction even to that very class whose protection is sought by unjust means. Excess will produce lassitude—dissipation in youth will draw on premature old age—extravagance will bring penury—guilt will find punishment--and class legis lation, injustice in the highest sense, will assuredly find retributive justice, in the utter destruction which accumulated wrong at all times heaps upon the heads of its perpetrators. the opposition in England ; so that an error was made, it all events, in one country or the other. In France the Government had lately made very considerable sacrifices on this point—not less than 34,500,000 f, having been granted for the construction of steam-boats during the next ten years. With such an effort before them, the Chamber would agree with him, that it was not necessary to apply for a further grant at present. The Chamber then adjourned. In none of the minis terial papers is there any mention of the military conspiracy alluded to in the Opposition journals. It is, therefore, considered certain that there was some ground for the report, as it would otherwise have been contra dicted.

WITH NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS BY GEORGE CRUM SH A.NK . Orders received by all Booksellers. Henry Colburn, publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street. We hear from the very best authority that the members of the late Administration are deeply in terested in, and delighted at, the success of the O'Connell dinner, to take place at Covent-garden Theatre on Tuesday next. It is well known that Ireland was tranquil and peaceable under their rule, and repeal was never named. A change came over Ireland when Peel assumed power, and repeal became the watch-word. Give Ireland good government and repeal will never be heard of again. We value the demonstration of Tuesday next very highly, and it has already produced great good in Ireland even by anticipation. Enthusiastic as was Mr. 0 CoNNELes reception by the people during his late visit to the metropolis, it was equalled, if not surpassed, by the welcome he received yesterday at Birmingham, all classes of whose population vied with each other in their en deavours to do him honour. No sooner did he make his appearance in the Town-hall, which was crammed to suffocation, than shout after shout of acclamation arose from the immense assembly; and it was full ten minutes before anything like order could be re stored. The same enthusiastie applause was repeated when the Honourable and Learned Gentleman rose to speak, but no sooner had the first few words dropped from his lips, than the most profound silence prevailed, and he was listened to, through out his animated appeal on behalf of Ireland, with a respectful attention that must hash _ ing to his feelings than even the uciening approbation with which he had been previously greeted. His speech was well worthy of this marked and sig nificant attention, for though by no means deficient in vigour, where vigour was requisite, its chief cha racteristics were its moderation—its manly, unaffected candour—its firm, but courteous and conciliatory tone—and, above all, its force, clearness, and preci sion of argument. There was; no display of rhe torical artifice—no attempt at exaggeration— the reasoning was in no instance pushed beyond the limits of good sense—nothing was omitted that was necessary to make out a strong case of Irish misgovernment by the Tories—and the con sequence of this uniform harmony and evenness of tone was, that the speaker made as many proselytes to the cause of his country, as there were listeners in the Hall. Henceforth, he will never again be com pelled to lament the indifference of the " Saxons" to wards the wrongs of Ireland. London, and Birming ham, and Liverpool have triumphantly demonstrated the fact that the English people are alive—fully, keenly alive—to the sufferings of the sister-country, and though they may be reluctant to join Mr. O'CON NELL in his crusade against the Union, yet they will readily second him in all his efforts to pro cure for Ireland equal justice with England. Thus encouraged and strengthened by popular opinion here, as well as in his own country, the " convicted con spirator" may well laugh to scorn the fiercest threats of the Tory Ministry. Even should they venture to imprison him—of which we entertain great doubts— they will still find ;him as potent an enemy as ever. Indeed, he will be more influential within the four walls of a gaol, than when allowed to remain at large ; and greatly shall we be mistaken if his incarceration do not tend to in crease the agitation and precipitate the crisis which it was intended to avert. If Government he sincerely desirous of extinguishing Mr. O'CosixELL's influence, they must put an end to the grievances in which that influence originates. They must crush the great agitator, who for years past has been their " chief difficulty," by doing prompt and enlightened justice to Ireland. A petty, coddling system Of legislation, such as they now have in view, as regards the sister-country, will not have the slightest effect on the " convicted conspirator's" popularity ; but, on the contrary, will Leave him just as great a bug-bear to Ministers as The growth of Tory oppression, Mr. O'CON NELL, is only to be effectually put down by the deter mination of the Tories to act equitably by that coun try, of whose many wrongs he is the chosen mouth piece. Dare to do justice, and, from that moment, the giant dwindles to the dimensions of the dwarf. Alluding to his extraordinary influence over the Irish masses, the "convicted conspirator" touchingly re marked;—" Oh ! ifyou saw how their eyes glisten on me as Igo along—if you saw how the aged women raise their hands and eyes to Heaven for a blessing on me —if you could see the stalwart youths leaving their toil in the fields, and standing by the roadside with their hats in their hands, and tears in their eyes, and crying, 'Oh ! long life to you, O'CONNELL, for the sake of Ireland !'—Oh, if you heard the praises spoken by the sweet voices of girls, and even the lisping babes, as I go along, praying for prosperity to DANIEL O ' CONNELL !—you would think me the most hardened of human beings, if all the thoughts and feelings of my soul did not concentrate in one determination to devote all my efforts to obtaining justice for Ireland !" How is a man exercising such an extraordinary influence as this over the hearts of his countrymen, to be put down, otherwise than by the determination of Ministers to redress in toto the wrongs of which he, as the national representative, complains ? Will his imprisonment, think you, produce such a result ? Far otherwise. It will arm him, if possible, with in creased authority, and render him a still more terrible opponent to the enemies of Ireland than he has yet been. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—In the week ending March 2, the total number of deaths was 1,05.5, showing a decrease, as compared with the previous week, of 91, and exceeding the average by 64. We are glad to find that the deaths from "seases of the lungs have greatly decreased. On the ..lvious week the number was 428, while last week it was 366, being 36 above the average. In the first class, including small-pox, measles, scarlatina, and hooping-cough, the number is still high, being 215, and 45 above the average. Of the 17 persons who died of small-pox, 10 had not been vaccinated. The following is the analysis of the deaths caused by the diseases of the lungs :—Bronchiti3 34, average 19 ; pneumonia 96, average 91 ; asthma .51, average 45 ; consumption 156, average 146. Of deaths from diseases of the heart the number is 34, average 21. Violent deaths 19, average 25. Of these four were from fracture of limbs or contusion, seven from burns, one from suicide. The thermometer was lowest on Tuesday, 27th February, 28 deg. ; and highest on March 1, 51.1 deg. The barometer was lowest on the 26th February, 28.66 deg.; and highest on the 28th, 29.47 deg. ever. The Lords did not sit yesterday. In the Commons, after the presentation of petitions, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER announced that on Friday next he would move a resolution for the reduction of the interest on the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Annuities. This is only what has been anti cipated for some sime, but nevertheless it will cause a great sensation among the holders of that stock. The House went into Committee on the County Coroners' Bill. On the reading of the clause which allowed coroners Is. , per mile for travelling expenses, Mr. C. BERKELEY moved the omission of the clause, when the Committee divided, and the amendment was lost by a majority of 59. The remaining clauses were agreed to, and the House resumed. The House ctajournpii at. a Quarter to Seven. A most important notice was given by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer in the House of Commons last night. The 'reduction of the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. has long been a topic of public discussion, and it now appears that this reduction is to be carried into effect. A very great saving will be caused by this means ; and we hail this, as we should any other plan for effecting a reduction in our national expen diture, as a most gratifying announcement. Madrid journals, of the 28th ult., have been received; but they are still barren of intelligence. A Royal decree appears in the Gazette, appointing the Queen Dowager CHRISTINA, Colonel of the Reina Gubernadord Chasseurs. Great preparations were making, in all quarters, to celebrate her return. The Three per Cents. were done at 291 for cash, and 30 1-16 at sixty days, and the Five per Cents. at 22 for cash, and 221 at sixty days. A brief discussion took place in the French Chamber of Peers :on Monday, which possesses some interest. The Order of the Day was the introduction of a Bill to regulate the accounts of 1841, when the Marquis DE B OISSEY complained that sufficient control did not exist in the department of the Marine. He wished also to remind the Chamber that England was increasing both her land and naval forces, which looked as if she was not very certain of peace. He hoped that the Ministry would keep a sharp look-out on what was passing with their intimate ally, particularly in Ireland. Only a few days had elapsed since a French Admiral had been dis avowed, and he felt convinced that it had taken place only because the Ministry did not think itself powerful enough to support him.—(Movement.) He had also to complain that the Ministry allowed their steam-boats to remain inferior in number and force to those of England. Admiral do MACKAU, the Minister of Marine, said the line of conduct adopted by the Ministry had been prompted by no other sentiments than those of justice, honour, and the necessity of keeping up discipline in the navy. As to the steamers of France, he could only say that the Noble Peer was altogether mistaken.

Morning •. 25 minutes after 3 Evening •• 45 minutes after 3 SECOND EDITION.. 4d4V.\~.,SA‘i 4\ - • ,„. ilitinn 111 LONDON, THURSDAY,-MARCII 7, 1844 The meeting of the Anti-Corn-law League, at Covent-garden Theatre, last evening, was one of the most triumphant and enthusiastic which ever that important body has held. What a contrast to the meeting of the Anti-League Association, held at Freemasons' Tavern, on Monday last, did the League meeting of last night present ! It was just the differ ence between the objects of the two Associations ; the one powerful, strong, and healthy, full of vigour and enthusiasm—the other, puny, weak, and diseased, without either energy or animating spirit. And need we—can we wonder, that such should be the case, when the League advocates the rights of the people and of the whole community, whilst the Anti- League supports only the landlords' interests, the cause of a faction, and aims at class legislation alone. The tenant-rai Him, 1001,0 a with sp ry great dis gust at the composition of the National Anti-League Association, and at the very first meeting, when the governing body was selected from landlords and tenant-farmers, to act together in unison, more than one of the tenant-farmers asked this per tinent question, " What interest have we in common with the landlords, that should make us unite with them for the protection of agriculture ; will it not be made a society for the protection of rents, not of renters ?" And the tenant-farmers were right in their suspicions of the landlords' intentions; they were jus ti Qd in do u bti ng th e s i ncer it y w ith which any union of men, m such ofas t those o corn - laws, l o a w c s r , y an ou d t thsooselouwdhlyo, having r vi t n h g e preservation en to pay rent, have always found the high price of pro dmuacdee u m se u d tu as al a ly n b a e r g n u e fi t n o e i a n t for It h s i n g h o t n. ent the a l , nature could be f things to mix oil and water ; and yet, as soon will this union be effected as the union in one plan for the interest of both, between the landlord seeking to maintain high prices, in order to keep up his rent, and the tenant seeking to obtain a high price for the produce of his farm, but, at the same time, wishing to pay the lowest rate per acre out of the proceeds. The corn-laws are not—they never can he made— the instruments of good to the tenant• farmer, or to the farm labourer ; they are, and they will be, the instruments of vast evil to them, and to every man in society save the landlords. They are the landlords' P tax, levied exclusively for the good and benefit of that • one class, a n d paid by every other class, entirely to their own disadvantage and evil. The poor farm labourer, earning his paltry pittance of seven shil lings per week, does not receive more wages when bread is dear; he derives no benefit from the advance in price of the article which he starves to raise from the earth, while its additional prioe inflicts additional starvation upon him, and draws still more upon his scanty earnings. The farmer hears of the rise of corn but soon his gladness is checked by the a w g i e th a jo o yi : his landlord, who claims increased rental, and justifies the demand by the increased price of f a rm ma l ice, the Allison, the mechanic, the shop- SUMMARY OF NEWS AND tlubltt Optitton, " Who runs may read." rozazzaN.

At the Newcastle assizes, a Mr. Peel, who had formerly resided in London, and carried on the business of a dealer in, and restorer of, old paintings, brought an action against a lodger in his house of the name of Finney, for criminal conversation with his wife, when the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 40s. The assizes at Durham opened on the sth, but no case of interest occurred. At Winchester. the Earl of Carnarvon brought an action of trespass against Mr. Viliebols, to try his Lordship's right of free warren over the manors of Highclose and Boroughclose, situate in the parishes of the same name in Hampshire. The Solicitor-Ge neral conducted the plaintiff's case, and Sir T. Wilde appeared for the defendant. The defendant, to the plaintiff's declaration, pleaded that he was not guilty, and secondly, that if Lord Carnar von had the free warren claimed, he, the defendant, had a right to shoot over his own lands. The jury returned a verdict In favour of the plaintiff on both points.

CAPTURE OF GWALIOR. The intelligence brought by this Overland Mail possesses great interest.. As the Governor-General could place no con fidence in the ruler of Gwalior, orders were given to march the British army into Sindia, and on the 25th of December it entered that territory, not as an enemy, says the Governor- General, in a proclamation dated Dec. 27, but as a friend to the Maharaja, bound by treaty to protect his Highness's per son, and to maintain his sovereign authority against all who are disobedient and disturbers of the peace. The Governor-General has no object but that of seeing re-established in the territories of Sindia a strong Govern ment, willing and able to preserve the accustomed relations of friendship with the British Government and all its allies— a Government which may at all times do justice to the army as well as to the people, but command both for the good of all. The Governor-General cautions the evil advisers of the Maharanee, that they will themselves be held responsible fur any resistance which may be offered to the measures deemed to be necessary for the establishment of the Maharaja's just authority, and .for the security of his person and rights. At first, affairs exhibited a peaceful tendency, but soon changed. On the 25th, it was found that the Mahratta troops had already taken up a position within six or seven miles of our camp. From the moment the Maharanee heard of our intention to continua our advance, opposition had been resolved on. Colonels Baptiste and Jacob were sent to obstruct our progress with as large a force as could be col . _ . _ _ _ _ lected. The Boondela and Pindarie tribes had been written to, and gathered in great numbers ; so that, by the 28th a force consisting of about 14,000 Infantry, and 3,000 Ca valry, and 100 pieces of artillery, was posted in a formidable and well-selected position, right in the line of our march. On the 25th and 27th proclamations were issued for the in formation of the Mahrattas, explanatory of the objects and purposes of our army in entering the territory of Sindia. The left wing of the army, under General Grey, which had been assembled at Jhansee, had received directions to march up towards Gwalior, and hearing of this proceeding, the Maharanee and her advisers dispatched an army of 12,000 men, with thirty guns, under Colonel Secunder, to meet it. The enemy's principal position was the village of Maharaj poor, which they had occupied with seven infantry corps, each supported by four guns, and which were entrenched. This position had been taken up on the night of the 28th, and their occupation of it rendered some change necessary in the disposition of the troops. For further particulars of what follow, we refer to the dis- patches. The British loss was rather severe, the list amount ing to 144 killed and 866 wounded. The British army, under the command of General Sir Hugh Gough, consisted of 14,000 infantry, 300 cavalry, and 40 guns. The force opposed to it was about 15,000 strong, with 3,000 cavalry, and 100 guns. We regret to state that the following officers fell in the two actions, which took place on the 28th and 29th of December :—General Churchill, Colonel Sanders, Major Crommelin, Captains Stewart, Magrath, and Cobban ; Lieu tenants Newton and Leaths ; and Ensign Bray. As soon as a strong Government shall have been estab- lished at Gwalior, capable of maintaining the Maharaja's authority over all, and willing as well as able to preserve tranquillity on the common frontier, the British armies will return to their own territory. We are glad to find that the sickness in the army of Sinde was much abated. Sir Charles Napier was to start on an expedition in the direction of Sukkur early this month. The regiments to accompany him are her Majesty's 86th, 78th Highlanders, and the 25th Native Infantry, with Horse Artillery, and a portion of the 2d Cavalry. The. whole of the Bombay troops in Sinde amounted, on the 12th January, to 9,870—0 f whom 2,890 were unfit for duty, in consequence of sickness. The Bengal troops and Sinde horse amounted to from 4,000 to 5,000. A medical committee has been appointed to inquire into the causes of the recent sickness. The state of affairs in the Punjaub remained still very un settled. The accounts from Affghanistan, Bundelkund, and the neighbouring states, furnish no intelligence of the slightest interest. The same may be said of the news from China. THE VICTORIES. NOTIFICATION. Political Department, Bombay Castle, Jan. 17, 1844. 1. The Hon. the Governor in Council has the highest gratifica tion in republishing for general information the following general orders issued by the Right lion. the Governor-General of India, under date the 4th inst., and the dispatches therein alluded to, together with official returns of the killed and wounded, on the oe. casion of the two brilliant victories gained on the 29th ultime, at Maharajpoor and Punniar, by the British forces over the insur. gent Mahratta army of his Highness Maharajah Jyajee Rao Sindiah. 2. In re-publishing these documents the Hon. the Governor in Council directs that the whole of the troops in garrison be paraded to-morrow evening, for the purpose of firing a feu-de-joie, after having the contents of these documents read and carefully explained to them. 3. The lion, the Governor in Council is pleased to direct that on the receipt of this order the same observances be also observed in the different garrisons and at the several stations of the army of this presidency. By order of the Hon. the Governor in Council, J. P. WILLOUGHBY, Secretary to Government. GENERAL ORDERS. BY THE RIGHT HON. THE GOVERNOLGEN. OF INDIA, Camp, Gwalior Residency, Jan. 4, 1844. The Governor-General directs the publication of the annexed dispatch from his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, reporting the operations of the corps under his Excellency's immediate command, and of that under the command of Major-General Grey, against the mutinous troops which overawed and controlled the government of his Highness the Maharajah Jyajee Ran Sindiah, and attacked, the British forces on their advance to Gwalior to his Highness's support. The Governor-General deeply laments the severe loss in killed and wounded which has been sustained in these operations ; but it has been sustained in the execution of a great and necessary service, and the victories of Maharsjpoor and Punniar, while they have shed new glory upon the British army, have restored the authority of the hfaharajah, and have given new security to the British empire in India. The Governor-General cordially congratulates his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief upon the success of his able combinations, by which two victories were obtained on the tame day, and the two wings of the army, proceeding from distant points, have been now united under the walls of Gwalior. To his Excellency, and to Major-General Grey, and to all the General and other officers, and to all the soldiers of the army, the Governor-General, in the name of the Government, and of all the people of India, offers his most grateful acknowledgments of the distinguished service they have performed; nor can he withhold the tribute of his admiration justly due to the devoted courage manifested by all ranks in actions with brave enemies, who yielded their numerous and well-served artillery only with their lives. The Governor-General's especial thanks are due to her Ma. jesty's 39th and 40th Regiments, to the 2d and 16th Regiments of Native Grenadiers, and to the 56th Regiment of Native Infantry, which took with the bayonet the: batteries in front of Maharajpoor. Her Majesty's 39th Regiment had the peculiar fortune of adding to the honour of having won at Plassey the first great battle which laid the foundation of the British empire in India, the further honour of thus nobly contributing to this, as it may be hoped, the last and crowning victory by which that empire has been secured. Her Majesty's 40th Regiment, and the 20 and 16th Regiments of Native Grenadiers, again serving together, again displayed their pre.eminent qualities as soldiers, and well supported the character of the ever victorious army of Candahar. The corps of Major. General Grey, suddenly attacked at Pun. niar, after a len march, carried the several strong positions of the enemy with a resolution no advantage of ground could enable him to withstand ; and her Majesty's 3d Buffs and 50th Regiment added new lustre to the reputation they gained in the Peninsular war. Everywhere, at Maharajpoor and at runniar, the British and the native troops, emulating each other, and animated by the same spirit of military devotion, proved that an army so complsed, and united by the bonds of mutual esteem and confidence, must ever remain invincible in Asia. The Government of India will, as a mark of its grateful sense of their distinguished merit, present to every General and other officer, and to every soldier engaged in the battles of Maharajpoor and Punniar an Indian star of bronze, made out of the guns taken at those battles ; and all officers and soldiers in the ser vice of the Government of India will be permitted to wear the star with their uniforms. His Excellency the Cnrnmander.in-Chief is requested to fur nish the Governor-General with nominal rolls of all the officers and soldiers engaged in the two battles reapccitvely, in order that the star presented to each may be inscribed with the name of the thittla au w 1.11,1, A triumphal monument, commemorative of the campaign of Gwalior, will be erected at Calcutta, and inscribed with the names of all who fell in the two battles. The Governor. General directs that the words " Maharajpoor " and " runniar" shall be borne upon the colours or standards and appointments of the several regiments, troops, and companies named below as respectively engaged in those battles. A Royal salute and a feu-de-joie will be fired at all the stations of the army, on the receipt of this order.

FROM HIS EXCELLENCY GENERAL SIR H. GOUGH, BA RT., G. C.8.L., COMM A NDER.IN.CHIEF, EAST INDIES. To TIE RIGHT HON. THE GOVEKNOR-GENERAL, Ilead Quarters, Camp, before Gwalior, 4th of January, 1844. My Lord,—Your Lordship having witnessed the operations of the 29th, and being in possession, from my frequent communica tions, of my military arrangements for the attack on the Mahratta army, in its strong position of Chonda, I do not feel it necessary to enter much into detail, either as to the enemy's position or the dispositions I made for attacking it, I shall here merely observe, that it was peculiarly v ell chosen and most obstinately defended; indeed, I may safely assert, that I never witnessed guns better served, nor a bcdy of infantry apparently more devoted to the pro tection of their regimental guns, held by the Mahratta corps as ob. jects of worship. previously communicated to your Lordship, that my inten tion was to have turned the enemy's left flank by Brigadier Cureton's brigade of cavalry, consisting of her Majesty's 16th Lancers, under Lieutenant-Colonel M`Dowell, your Lordship's body-guard, under Captain Dawkins, Ist Regiment of Light Ca. valry, under Major Cron - nent), C. 8., 4th Irregular Cavalry under Major Oldfield, C. 8., with Major Lane's and Major Alexander's troops of Horse Artill:;ry, under Brigadier Gowan ; the whole under the orders of Major.Gencral Sir J. Thackwell, K.C.B. and KJ", commanding the cavalry division. With this force the 3d Brigade of Infantry, under Major. General Valiant, K. H., was directed to co-operate, consisting of her Majesty's 40th Regiment of Foot, under Major Stopford, 2d Regiment of Grenadiers, under Lieutenant-Colonel Hamilton, and the 16th Regiment of Grenadiers, under Lieutenant-Colonel M`Laren, C. B. It is equally known to your Lordship that I purposed to have attacked the centre with Brigadier Stacey's brigade of the '2d divi. sion of Infantry, which consisted of the 14th Regiment Native Infantry, under Lieut.. Col. Gairdner, the 31st Native Infantry under Lieut.-Col. Weston, and the 43d Light Infantry under Major Nash, to which was attached No. 17 Light Field Battery under Captain Browne ; the whale under Major- General Dennis, commanding the 2d division of Infantry. This force was to have been supported by Brigadier Wright's Brigade, composed of her Majesty's 39th Regiment, commanded by Major Bray, and the 56th Native Infantry, under Major Dick, with No. 10 Light Field Battery under Brevet-Major Sanders ; Major. General Littler, commanding the 3d division of Infantry, superintended the movement of this column. On the left of this force I placed the 4th Brigade of Cavalry under Brigadier Scott, C. 8., of her Majesty's 9th Lancers, consist ing of the 4th Light Cavalry (Lancers) under Major Mactier, and the 10th Light Cavalry under Lieutcnant•Celonel Pope, with Captain Grant's troops of Horse Artillery ; with this force I pro. posed threatening the right flank of the enemy's position. Your Lordship is aware of the extreme difficulty of the country, intersected by deep and almost impassable ravines, which were . . only made practicable by the unremitting labour of Major Smith with the sappers, and that I had to pass the Koharce river in three columns, at considerable distances, on the morning of the 29th ; but, the judicious movements of their respective leaders, the whole were in their appointed positions by 8 o'clock A. , about a mile in front of Maharajpoor. I found the Mahrattas had occupied this very strong position during the previous night by seven regiments of infantry, with their guns, which they entrenched, each corps having four guns, which opened on our advances. This obliged me to alter in some measure my disposition. Major-General Littler's column being exactly in front of Maha rajpoor, I ordered it to advance direct, while Major-General Valiant's brigade took it in reverse both supported by Major. General Dennis's column and the two light field batteries. Your Lordship must have witnessed with the same pride and pleasure that I did the brilliant advance of these columns under their respective leaders, the European and native soldiers appearing emulous to prove their loyalty and devotion ; and here I must do justice to the gallantry of their opponents, who received the shock without flinching, their guns doing severe execution as we advanced ; but nothing could withstand the rush of British soldiers. Her Majesty's 39th Foot, with their accustomed dash, ably sup ported Gy the 56th Regiment Native Infantry, drove the enemy from their guns into the village, bayonetting the gunners at their posts. Here a most sanguinary conflict ensued ; the Mahratta troops, after discharging their matchlocks, fought sword in hand with the most determined courage. General Valiant's brigade, with equal enthusiasm, took Maharaj. poor in reverse, and 28 guns were captured by this combined move ment ; so desperate was the resistance, that very few of the de fenders of this very strong position escaped. During these opera tions, Brigadier Scott was opposed by a body of the enemy's cavalry on the extreme left, and made some well executed charges with the 10th Light Cavalry, most ably supported by Captain Grant's troop of horse Artillery and 4th Lancers, capturing some guns and taking two standards, thus threatening the right flank of the enemy. In conformity with the previous instructions, Major-General Valiant, supported by the 3d Cavalry Brigade, moved on the right of the enemy's position at Chonda. During the advance Major. General Valiant had to take, in succession, three strong intrenched positions, where the enemy defended their guns with frantic despe ration ; her Majesty's 40th Regiment losing two successive corn. manding officers, Major Stopford and Captain Coddington, who fell wounded at the very muzzles of the guns, and capturing four regi mental standards. This corps was ably and nobly supported by the 2d Grenadiers, who captured two regimental standards, and by the 10th Grenadiers, under Lieutenant-Colonels Hamilton and M`Laren ; too much praise cannot be given to these three regiments. Major-General Littler, with Brigadier Wright's brigade, after dispersing the rightof the enemy's position at Maharajpoor, steadily advanced to fulfil his instructions of attacking the main position at Chonda, in front, supported most ably by Captain Grant's troop of Horse Artillery, and the Ist Regiment of Light Cavalry ; this column had to advance under a very severe fire, over a very diffi. cult ground, but is hen within a short distance, again the rush of the 39th Regiment, as before, under Major Bray, gallantly sup. ported by the 56th Regiment, under Major Dick, carried every. thing before Wens, and thus gained the intrenched main position of Chonda. In this charge, the 39th Regiment lest the services of its brave commanding officer, Major Bray, who was desperately wounded by the blowing up of one of the enemy's tumbrils in the midst of the corps, and were ably brought out of action by Major Straubenzee. This gallant corps on this occasion captured two regi mental standards. A small work of four guns, on the left of this position, was long and obstinately defended, but subsequently carried, and the guns captured by the Grenadiers of the 39th, under Captain Campbell, admirably supported by a wing of the 50th Native Infantry, under Major Phillips. Brigadier Cureton's brigade of cavalry taking advantage of every opportunity, manceuvred most judiciously on the right, and would have got in rear of the positions, and cut off the retreat of the whole, had they not been prevented by an impassible ravine. I witnessed with much pride the rapidity of movement of the three troops of Horse Artillery, which bore a conspicuous part in this well-contested action ; their leaders prominently brought them forward in every available position, and the precision of their fire was admirable. With the two light field batteries I have every reason to be pleased; they well supported the high character of the Bengal Artillery. I was greatly gratified with a spirited charge made by Major Old field, C. 8., of the 4th Irregular Cavalry, who had been left to cover Major Alexander's troop of Horse Artillery, and who charged by my orders a considerable body of the enemy's infantry, who were moving off front the right position of Maharajpoor, Two guns and tss o standards rewarded this, charge. I was likewise much pleased with a charge made by my personal escort, under Cornet Stannus, which did great credit to himself and the small body of the sth Light Cavalay which formed it. Several acts cf individual heroism occurred on this day: none exceeded those of Major-General Churchill, C. 8., Quartermaster- General of her Majesty's Forces in India, and Captain Somerset of the Grenadier Guards, your Lordship's Military Secretary, whom you kindly allowed to act on my staff, and whom I sent with Brigadier Cureton's brigade to communicate to me the movements of that corps. The two gallant officers nobly fell, having received several wounds in personal rencontre. In Major-General Churchill her Majesty's service will experience a great loss : he died during the night, after amputation of the leg ; but I am glad to add there is every hope that Captain Somerset will do well, though severely wounded. I regret to say that our loss has been very severe, infinitely be yond what I calculated on; indeed I did not do justice to the gal lantry of my opponents. Their force however so greatly exceeded ours, particularly in artillery, the position of their guns was so commanding, they were so well served, and determinedly de fended, both by their gunners and their infantry, and the peculiar difficulties of the country giving the defending force so great ad vantages, that it could not be otherwise. In the return of killed I have greatly to deplore the loss of Lieu tenant-Colonel E. Sanders, C. 8., of the Engineers, than whom this army, with its numerous list of devoted soldiers, could not boast a more enthusiastic officer. It is also my painful duty to record my deep regret at the loss of a most valuable officer, Major Crommelin, C. 8., of the Ist Light Cavalry, who died of wounds received when nobly leading his corps in support of the sth Brigade of Infantry. Your Lordship is aware that I had collected a strong force in Bundlecund, under Majar-General J. Grey, C. 8., to co-operate with me, and that both corps crossed the Sindean frontiers from the north-cast and south-west at the same time. It may, there fore, be necessary here to observe, that on finding that all your Lordship's strenuous attempts to maintain those friendly relations which had hitherto existed between the two Governments were fruitless, and that the Mahratta army, the ruling power, appeared determined to rest the fate of their country on the hazard of a general action, I instructed Major-General Grey, with the troops under his command, to push as rapidly as practicable to Funnier, 12 miles south-west of Gwalior ; thus placing the Mahratta army between two corps capable of supporting each other, should it re main in the vicinity of its capital, or ofssubdividing that army to repel or attack these two columns. They adopted the latter alter. native, and, under Divine guidance, the consequence has been most decisive and honourable to the British arms. I beg now to enclose Major-General Grey's report, detailing his movements and operations, which were as creditable to this meri torious officer as the result nas proved highly honourable to the brave troops under his command; and I beg earnestly to draw your Lordship's favourable attention to their conduct, and to the recom. mendations of Major. General Grey. I beg also to bring under your Lordship's notice the several officers named by those in command of the separate columns. In this list I shall not re-name those whom it is my intention to bring to your Lordship's favourable consideration as commanding divisions and brigades, and on the staff, at the conclusion of this report. Major-General Sir Joseph Thackwell, commanding the cavalry division, mentions having received every assistance from Captain Pratt, 16th Lancers, Assistant-Adjutant-Genet al; Captain Clayton, 4th Light Cavalry, Assistant Quartermaster-General, and Lieut. Pattinson, 16th Lancers, Brigade-Major of cavalry; Lieut. Cowell, 3d Light Dragoons, Aide-de-Camp and Captain Herries, 3d Light Dragoons, your Lordship's Aide-de-Camp, who acted as Aide-de-Camp to Sir J. Thackwell on this occasion, and Lieut.

Nelson, her Majesty's 40th Foot, his Aide-de-Camp. Brigadier Gowan strongly recommends Captain WDonald, De puty-Assistant Adjutant. General of Artillery. Although it was not their good fortune to come into actions, I feel it due to Brigadier Tennant, and the officers and men of the Foot Artillery, to express my thanks for the great exertions they made to bring up the heavy ordnance, which alone was prevented from opening on Maharajpoor by the rapidity of the movement of the attacking columns, and from the action having commenced earlier than I expected. My thanks are likewise due to Brigadier Riley, and that portion of the 6th Brigade of Infantry which formed the rear guard, for the manner in which he protected and brought for ward the immense train of provisions and baggage which accom panied the army over so great an extent of the enemy's country. I have thus, my Lord, attempted to detail a seriev of move! ments, many of which came under your Lordship's observation. I now becomes my duty, as Commander-in-Chief of this army, to de justice to those gallant men who. I feel I can consciously assure your Lordship, merit my warmest approbation; and although it fell to the loss of some, as in all actions it must, to be more pro minently forward than others, yet I am proud to say I found in all arms the most animated enthusiasm, and the most able support. To Major-General Sir Joseph Thackwell, K.C.8., to Major' Generals Dennis and Littler, and to Brigadier Gowan, command ing divisions, soy best thanks ars due, for the manner in which they conduced and led their respective aivisions.: To Major-General Valiant, K.H., and Brigadiers Scott, Stacey, Cureton, and 'Wright, I am equally indebted for their gallantry and exertions in command of brigades, and to the several officers corns mending corps and troops of horse artillery and light field bat teries, named in a foregoing part of this dispatch, I feel called on 15 express my warmest approval. They nobly led and were gallantly' supported by the officers and men of their respective corps. I beg to bring to your Lordship's notice the high professioia l talents of Major Smith, from whom I derived every assistance, as well as from the several officers of the engineer's department. To the General Staff I am greatly indebted; from Major-General Smith, C. 8., Adjutant.Generat of her Majesty's Forces in India, and Major. General Lumley, Adjutant-General of the army, I.ei" perienced the most cordial support. To Lieutenant-Colonel Garden, Quartermaster -General of the army, whose exertions were as creditable as they were unceasing. I am much indebted ; to Major Grant, Deputy-Adjutant-Ge neral of the army, to Major Barr, Assistant Adjutant-General of her Majesty's Forces, and to Major Drummond, Deputy-Quarterma ster- General of the army, I feel under much obligation for their sett and assistance. The arrangements of Lieut—Colonel Burlton, Commissar/a' General, who accompanied me in the field, and Captain RIMINI, Assistant-Commissary-General, and principal executive °nice r ' have been very judicious. Lieutenant-Colonel Birch, Judge-Advocate-General, aetee t panied me in the field, amid rendered me his assistance. The t%. ertions of the junior officers in the several departments well justify' my most favourable report of them ; especially Lieut. W. Fras er Tytler, Deputy-Assistant-Quartermaster-General, and Cap t . Ektros Assistant-Adjutant- General of the army. I have every reason to be satisfied with the conduct o f SuPer" intending Surgeon Wood and Field-Surgeon Chalmers. This latter officer peculiarly and most creditably exerted himsel f in the field hospital at Maharajpoor. To Lieutenant-Colonel Gough, C. 8., her Majesty's L i g ht pre goons, my military secretary and the other offi cers c omposing 101 personal staff ; Major Hevelock, C. 8., her Majesty's 13 t h Light Infantry, Persian Interpreter, my Aide-de-Camp; Lieutenant Friend, of her Majesty's 31st Foot (who was severely wounded, and had his right arm amputated in the field) ; Capt. R. Smi th ' 28th Regiment of Native Infantry, Capt. Evans, 28th Light Itt• fantry, and Lieutenant Bagot, cf the 15th Native Infantry, I am greatly indebted for their alacrity and zeal in carrying my orders ; also my best thanks are due to Captain Sir R. Shakespeare, of the Artillery, to Captain Curtis, 37th Native Infantry, Sub-Assist ant Commissary-General, to Lieutenant Macdonald, of the 2d Madralt Light Cavalry, and to Lieutenant Hayes, of the 62d Native !via Pantry, all of whom acted as my Aides-de-Camp during the day must not omit to mention Assistarst-Surgeon Stephens, M.D., h er Majesty's 6'2d Regiment, surgeon on my personal staff, who accord' partied me in the field, and was most attentive and useful to the wounded. I have the honour to enclose a list of our killed and wounded that of the enemy must have been exceedingly great. By the accompanying returns, your Lardship will perceive we have captured in the action of Maharajpoor 56 guns, and the whole of the enemy's ammunition waggons. I feel I have been led into a much longer detail than I had in' tended, and have brought to your Lordship's notice a se r i lengthened list of officers who led, and troops who achieved a vied tory, that in one day has brought at once a powerful nation, 8:. undoubtedly brave army, to feel the indomitable power ef t "" British arms, thus securing the internal peace of Central India.

Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., THE SECRET PASSION. By the Author of THE YOUTH OF SHAKSPEARE," and " SHAKSPEARE AND HIS FRIENDS." " A novel of rare Interest and beauty. We unhesitatingly place it in the first class of historical novels, and maintain that its author de serves at once the admiration, the esteem, and the gratitude of the public. We can confidently promise the reader a rich fluid of delight fro.n following the fortunes of Master Shakspeare, and those charac ters which are here exhibited moving round, and connected with him. The author excels in depicting female characters. Joan Hart is a joyous and admirable creature , and Susanna, the poet's eldest daughter, is imagined and delineated with great felicity.cene i The Countess of remui ohe 0t.,,,r0 to singular advantage. The scene which she figures in Shakspeare's Study is a master-piece."—Sunday Times. Henry Colbura, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street. _
