Morning .. 5 minutes after 4 j Evening .. 23 minutes after 4 open meeting, because anti-monopolist resolutions 1 ' would have have been moved, the " tenant-farmers and land landowners of North Cheshire" adjourned to the large room of the Crown Hotel. Those of our readers who have ever had the felicity of seeing the large room at the Crown Hotel at North wich, will know—and those who never had the plea sure, ought to know—that this said large room covers a space of about 17 feet by 12, and contains just as many square feet as rooms of that size usually con tain. In this large room a number of persons were crammed, who having retreated from the Market Hall, where they were out-numbered, out-voted, and argu mentatively ejected, found an asylum, where monopo list doctrines might be freely talked, because nobody could, by any possibility, get in to contradict them. And in the large room, resolutions were passed, and speeches made, which, high-sounding and magnilo quent as they appear on paper, existed only in the imagination of the parties reporting them. The meeting was a failure and a humbug—the resolutions and the speeches a mere fancy and a delusion. It is quite true that they were intended to be made and passed at a meeting intended to be held ; but the good sense of the people of Northwich prevented the passing of any such resolutions at a public meeting, and therefore a hole and corner private affair was re sorted to. Is this the conduct of the Anti-Leaguers ? Is this the best fight that they can make ? The Duke of RICHMOND'S " National Anti-League Association," got nearly smothered, at Freemason's Hall, a few evenings ago ; and the same fate seems to await all such Anti-League meetings, whether held in town or country. The Anti-Leaguers dare not hold a public meeting ; or, if they do, it is turned against them. Look at the Richmond meeting the Somerset County meeting—and all the other open meetings, down to this very one at Northwich, which they have attempted to hold. All have been free trade meeting-, and so they will and must be. The tenant-farmers may be drilled and schooled; they may be put to say, in har mony, the words of "rent, sweet rent ;" but, when they feel the knuckles of the landlords in their backs, though they may repeat the words by mouth, they will, in their hearts, in place of "rent, sweet rent," as set to music by their landlords, ejaculate " rent, cursed rent," with their very sincerest feelings. Enthusiastic as was Mr. O'ComiELL's reception by the people during his late visit to the metropolis, it was equalled, if not surpassed, by the welcome he received on Wednsday 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 enthusiastic 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 have been more flatter ing to his feelings than even the deafening storm of 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 conciliator) , 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 t 6 scorn the fiercest threats ~f 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'CoNNELL'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 ever. The growth of Tory oppression, Mr. O'CoN 'ELL, 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 spokcn 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 into 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. Madrid journals, of the 28th ult., have been received; but they are still barren of intelligence. A Royal decree appears in the Gazette, appointinc, the Queen Dowager C HRISTINA, Colonel of the Reina l bobernadora 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. . , 4, 6 1, -"sr •- O a .1.04,4 4 4 ;1;6 6 .2.II qXSY.- 4 AAIMIEw ctrl r.- 7:PwrYa. 1.1".

Lord BROUGHAM postponed the questions of which he had given notice, relative to the Houses of Parliament, till some future day. The LORD CHANCELLOR laid on the table a Bill for regulating suits relating to chapels, and other property, held by Dissenters. Lord BROUGHAM gave notice that he would this day move the second reading of the Privy Council Bill, and the House adjourned. In the Commons, after the presentation of petitions, Mr. PAKINGTON announced that the Athlone EleCtion Committee had decided that JOHN COLLETT, Esq., had been duly returned for the borough of Athlone. Dr. BOWRING, in the absence of Mr. Hume, an nounced that the Member for Montrose postponed his motion relative to smuggling tobacco, spirits, silks, and other articles, charged with high import and ex cise. duties, till Monday. In answer to a question from Mr. AIACAULAY, Sir ROBERT PEEL said he could not enter into any de tails with respect to late transactions in Gwalior till the official dispatches were received. Mr. LABOUCHERE asked Sir ROBERT PEEL if the statement said to have been made by M. GUJZOT, in the Chamber of Deputies, that the commercial nego tiations between France and England were at an end, was founded on fact ? Sir ROBERT PEEL answered in the affirmative, and had no doubt that in the opinion of the French Government there was no probability of effecting a reduction of commercial duties by actual treaty. Mr. PAICINGTON obtained leave to bring in a Bill to define the period for holding quarter-sessions in cities and boroughs in Engl an d an d Wales. 111 r. LABOUCHERE moved that an address be pre sented to her MAJESTY, praying her MAJESTY to adopt such measures as may appear best calculated to maintain and improve the commercial relations be tween the United Kingdom and the Brazils. After giving a brief history of the commercial relations of this country with Brazils, and the increasing trade of France with that empire, he stated the difficulties with which British merchants had to contend in car rying on trade in that quarter. In the article of sugar, for instance, the duty of Muscovado sugar in France was 265. 6d., in Germany 15s. 4d., while in this country it was 63s.—an actual prohibition. His object, however, in bringing forward the motion, was to ascertain what were the views of her MAJESTY'S Government with regard to the renewal of the treaty about to expire. The speech cannot well be abridged. It was on one of the most important commercial questions which can come before Parliament, and we , therefore, refer our readers to the report. Mr. GLADSTONE, of course, opposed the motion, and contended that the policy pursued by the present Government was precisely the same as that pursued by their predecessors. His speech, altogether, was most unsatisfactory, and furnished no answer to the arguments of Mr. LABOUCHERE. Sir ROBERT PEEL, Lord PALMERSTON, and a number of other Members, spoke on this important question ; and, on a division, the motion was rejected A brief discussion took place in the French Chamber by a majority of 73. of Peers on Monday, which possesses some interest. The House adjourned at a Quarter to One o'Clock. The Order of the Day was the introduction of a Bill to The Anti-League party, driven to desperation by regulate the accounts of 1841, when the Marquis D E BOISSY complained that sufficient control did not ex i st the progre s s w hi c h th e pr i nc i p l es o f free trade are in the department of the Marine.

The very same complaint, be it remarked, was constantly made by the opposition in England ; so that an error was made at 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. The following telegraphic dispatch appears in the Moniteur " Queen Christina was well received at Girona ; all the houses were decorated with flags. Her Majesty was to have left to-day for Mataro."

Garden Theatre is now under the hands of the Committee for the O'Connell dinner, on Tue,.day next, and great preparations are being made for the occasion. Every attention is being paid to enlarge the area to its fullest extent, so as, if possible, to ac commodate a larger number of persons than originally contemplated. The Stewards have come to the reso lution of giving up their own tickets to the public, rather than allow the great disappointment that would have ensued, from not being able to find places for the dinner. The lighting of the house is entrusted to Mr. Gye, whose talents in this way are well known. The military band will be full and com plete. Harper has the control of the trumpets; and neither pains nor expense have been spared to make the tout ensemble worthy of the occasion. The Peers and Members of Parliament are to sit on a raised plat form; and the plan of the dinner tables, which we have seen, appears complete and perfect in all parts. The influx of strangers is great merely to attend this dinner ; and a large number of eminent Irishmen have come over for the express purpose of witnessing —what it will certainly be—one of the most inter esting occurrences of our times. THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE. M. Duprez, the great French tenor singer, made his first appearance, before an English audience, at this theatre, last evening, and never has it been our lot to witness a more tri umphant debit& For once the play- bills speak the language of simple truth—Duprez is indeed the most eminent tenor in Europe. He belongs not to the race of the feebles—his voice is clear, full, rich, powerful, flexible, and of immense compass. He is a most accomplished musician, and possesses the most exquisite taste. In him art and study have carried to per fection the gifts of nature. He has all the power of Don zelli, with the exquisite taste and finished execution of Rubini. We had been given to understand that Duprez' voice was a pure voce di petto. Such however is not the case. His chest voice is pure, rich, and of great compass, but he also possesses a most exquisitely delicate falsetto, which he uses sparingly, indeed, as a falsetto ought always to be used, but always with the greatest taste and judgment. His acting, too, is of a very high order, full of passion and intensity, and his articulation is so beautifully distinct that, although he sang in English, we could clearly distinguish every syllable that he uttered. The character selected for his deln.it was that of Arnold, in Rossini's mag nificent opera of Guillaume nu. On his appearance in the opening scene of the first act he was received with loud ap plause, and his manner of giving the opening recitative " A day like this," proved that his fame, great as it is, is not more than deserved, Then followed the beautiful duet with Tell, the whole burden of which fell upon Duprez, for Leffler, who took the part of Tell, was so hoarse, that before the conclu sion of the duet he was obliged to come forward and claim the indulgence of the house. The fact was, that Leffler, who was evidentlylabouring under a severe cold, could scarcely be heard, so that the duet was in fact a solo by Duprez, and a solo so exquisitely sung and acted as to elicit the most rap turous applause. In the second we had the beautiful duet with Matilda (Miss Romer), " From my heart the secret is stolen," exquisitely given by. Duprez and Miss Romer. No thing could exceed the tenderness and pathos of Duprez throughout this scene. Rubini never surpassed the beautiful expressiveness of the tones of Duprez in this exquisite duet. He was admirably supported by Miss Romer, and the duet was of course rapturously encored. Then came the magnificent trio, the oath of the Rutti, which, owing to the hoarseness of Leffler was, in fact, a duet, given with great energy and spirit by Duprez and Stretton, who acted the part of Walter, and who, throughout the scene of the gather ing cantons, sang the music which should have been sung by Tell. The concluding trio and chorus was very finely given. Arnold does not appear again until the concluding scene of the last act ; and here Duprez achieved his greatest triumph. All our readers will doubtless remember the beautiful air, " Dear home, still in thy beauty," in which Arnold gives ut terance to his anguish on revisiting his native cottage, and finding that his father has fallen a victim to the tyranny of Gesler. Duprez entered fully into the situations. His manner of giving the concluding lines of the air— " I call in vain with anguish tortured On him who hears no more the spell, Home beloved, where my youth was nurtured, I come to gaze on, and to bid farewell !" was exquisitively expressive. He seemed heart-broken. Whether as regarded acting or singing, it was a perfect triumph of art. There were loud calls for a repetition, Dnprez came forward and bowed imploringly—still -the calls continued, and at length Cooper made his appearance, and, after thanking the audience for the enthusiastic manner in which they had received Duprez, requested as a favour that, they would not insist upon the encore. The audience, after some slight show of opposition, acquiesced, and were amply rewarded for their forbearance by the magnificently energetic manner in which Duprez gave the grand finale " Then hence away." There is no other singer in the world who could have ap proached him in this magnificent scena. He was called for at the fall of the curtain, and bouquets and crowns were showered on him in abundance. The opera has been put upon the stage in the most perfect manner possible. The scenery, by the Grieves, is exceedingly beautiful. The choruses are full, and admirably drilled; and the costumes are superb. The band, which was complete in all its parts, was led by R. Hughes, and con ducted by Benedict, and it did full justice to the music of the " maestro." We have never before heard the splendid overture so efficiently and so correctly per formed. The audience were loud in the expression of their approbation, and the concluding movement of the overture was repeated. The overture commenced at a quarter before seven, but long before that time the house was crowded in every part. It was, indeed, a bumper house, and the vi sitors to the boxes, who had not taken the precaution to se cure places, experienced the greatest difficulty in obtaining even a standing place where they could see and hear.

At the Newcastle assizes, a Mr. Peel, who had formerly resided in London, and carded en 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 fer 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. Villebols, 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 plaintifl 'a 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 Corner 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.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT, Chelmsford, March 7. The business of these assizes concluded to-day. James Rumpling, 24, labourer, was indicted for felo niously and maliciously setting fire to a bean stack, the property of John Page and another. Mr. E. James and Mr. Marsh conducted the prosecu tion. The prisoner had no counsel. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor is a farmer in Foulness Island, a place situated at the furthest extremity of the Essex coast, and bounded on three sides by the German Ocean, and on the fourth by the river Crouch. It would appear that most of the labourers in the island bore a very indifferent character, and that for the most part, they consisted of persons who were runaways from other parts of the county, and scarcely a man.. among them was known by his real name, but were called by some nickname, that of the prisoner being " Pickitout." The evidence against the prisoner was this: —On the 10th of December he came down to the landing-place on the island, and called to a man who is stationed in the river Crcuch in a boat to guard the oyster beds, and asked him to ferry him over to Burnham. He did so, and brought the prisoner back to the island about six o'clock at night, and landed him on the sea wall, near the prosecutor's farm. He then put off with his boat, and, almost immediately afterwards, flames burst forth from the premises of the prosecutor. He directly gave AR alarm, but the place that was ignited, a sheep yard, the sides of which were composed of carraway straw, was of such an inflammable description, that they could not arrest the progress of the flames, and a hun dred valuable ewes in lamb were destroyed, as well as the sheep-yard, and a bean -stack adjoining. It would appear that the prisoner was immediately suspected, and the evidence adduced against him was of the following character :—The island, it appears, can only be traver se d b y a var i ety of and it is i ntersected b y deep ditches and impediments, and it was represented as being almost impossible a stran ger to find his way over it. n oo t s r tt i h c ie m a r intricate paths, The prisoner had been on the island for four years, and was well acquainted with every part of it. His road would have been along a path called the Church Path, but when the conflagration broke out, and the whole island was illuminated by it, not a soul was seen upon that path • and a number of peopl e w h o came d own the path to the fire, upon an alarm being given, did not meet the prisoner, or see anything of him. Shortly af terwards, however, he was seen to come from a place called the Rabbit Warren, and he then said he had lost his way, and wished to be directed to the fire. For the prosecution it was argued, that the pri soner, not being aware of the inflammable nature of the carraway straw, uas surprised at the man ner in which it blazed up almost instantaneously, and feeling that he must be seen if he proceeded along his proper path—he returned to the warren which was 'the only place where he could conceal himself, and lay there until the people assembled at the fire, and he then took the first opportunity that enabled him to mix among the crowd. In addition to these facts it was proved that when the prisoner was in custody he asked for a pipe, which was given to him, and while he was smoking it, he said he supposed it would be the last he should smoke in Rochford, and he also shook hands with one of his friends, and told him that he should not see him again fur he expected he should be sent to Aus tralia. Mr. Baron ALDERSON, in summing up, appeared to entertain an opinion that the evidence, although suspicious was not sufficiently cogent to warrant a con viction. The jury accordingly returned a verdict of Not Guilty. It is rather a'curious circumstance in connection with the cases of arson disposed of at these assizes, that in all theni there has been an entire absence of any motive for the commission of the offence, and there was not the slightest proof of any ill-feeling or malice towards the prosecutors in any of the cases ; but in some of them, on the contrary, it appeared that the accused parties had been in their employ, and that they were on good terms. When the grand jury had concluded their labours on Wednesday, they brought the remainder of the bills into the Crown Court, and Sir H. Smith, the foreman, ad dressed the Lord Chief Justice, and said he was re quested by the grand jury to express the high opinion they entertained of the efficiency of the Essex constabu lary, and of their exertions, particulary in the detection of incendiaries. The grand jury also begged to state that the manner in which they had given their evidence was highly satisfactory. Lord Chief Justice DENMAN said that from what bad fallen under his own observation relative to the conduct of the force, he quite concurred in the observations of the grand jury. —They were then discharged. HAYMARKET THEATRE.—On Wednesday night an adaptation of Donizetti's opera, La File du Regiment, written by Mr. B uc k stone, wa s produced at this theatre, under the title o f Josephine; or, the Fortune of War. The plot of this opera is, no doubt, familiar to most of ou r readers. Th oug h an a d aptat i on of Donizetti's opera, music forms but a very subordinate part in this drama. There are but three songs introduced, which are sung by Mrs. Fitzwilliam, who took the part of Josephine. Of these the best executed was the air commencing " Oh, France ! Oh, my country !" which she sings, after the disbanding of her regiment, and which is expressive of her regrets. Sergeant Scalade occupies a prominent position in this drama, and this character was exceedingly well performed by Mr. Bland. Of might have permitted — is very the other cha rac t ers it is unnecessary t o say much ; th ey ' were purely accessorial. On the whole, it may be said that this adaptation—though not made so much of as the fertile materials of .the opera' re spectably put up on the stage, An d save satisfaction to a crowded audience. CAPTURE OF GWALIOR. I 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 for 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 continue 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 Pindaric 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 regcret 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. Lion in republishing for general information the following general orders issued by the Right Hon. the Governor-General of India, under date the 4th inst., and the dispatches therein alluded to, together with offish returns of the killed and wounded, on the oc. cation of the two brilliant victories gained on the 29th ultimo, at Maharajpoor and Punniar, hy the British forces over the incur. gen t 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 tomorrow evening, for the purpose of &ring a leu.de.joie, after having the contents of these documents read and carefully explained to them. 3. The Hon. 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 :his presidency. By order of the Hon. the Governor in Council, J. P. WILLOUGHBY, Secretary to Government. GENERAL ORDERS. BY THE RIGHT HON. THE GOVERNOR-GEN. 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 Maharajpoor and Funnier, while they have shed new glory upon the British army, have restored the authority of the Maharajah, 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 same day, and the two wings of the army, proceeding from distant points, have been slow 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, oars 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. jetty's 39th and 40th Regiments, to the 2d and 16th Regiments of Native Grenadiers, and to the 66th 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 Plessey 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 2d 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 long 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 But% and SOth Regiment added new lustre to the reputation they gained in the Peninsular war. Everywhere, at Maharajpoor and at Punniar, the British and the native troops, emulating each other, and animated by the same spirit of military devotion, proved that an army so composed, 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 °Meers and soldiers in the ser. vice of the Government of India will be permitted to wear the star with their uniforms. His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief Is requested to fur. nigh the Governor-General with nominal rolls of all the officers and soldiers engaged in the two battles respecitvely, in order that the star presented to each may be inscribed with the name of the battle in which he was engaged. 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 uirects thet the words " Maharajpoor " and " Punniar" shall be borne upon the colours or standards and appointments of the several regimoits, troops, and companies named below as respectively engaged in those battles. A Royal salute and a feu-de-joie will be tired at all the stations of the army, on the receipt of this omer.

THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF'S ARMY. FROM HIS EXCELLENCY GENERAL SIR H. GOUGH, BART., G.C.8.L., COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, EAST INDIES. To THE RIGHT HON. VIE GOVERNOR-GENERAL, &c. Head 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 well chosen and most obstinately defended; indeed, I may safely assert, that I never witnessed guns better served, nor a body of infantry apparently more devoted to the pro tection of their regimental guns, held by the Mahratta corps as ob. jects of worship. I 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 Crommelin, C. 8., 4th Irregular Cavalry under Major Oldfleld, C. 8., with Major Lane's and Major Alexander's troops of Horse Artillery, under Brigadier Gowan; the whole under the orders of Major-General Sir J. Thackwcll, K.C.B. and K.H., 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 2cl 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 whole 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 Lieutenant-Colonel 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 Koharee river in three columns, at considerable distances, on the morning of the 29th; but, by the judicious movements of their respective leaders, the whole were in their appointed positions by 6 o'clock a.m., about amile 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 intrenched, 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 by 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. lions, 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 intrenclied positions, where the enemy defended their guns with frantic despe ration ; her Majesty's 40th Regiment losing two successive com 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 ISl'Laren ; too much praise cannot be given to these three regiments. Major-General Littler, with Brigadier Wright's brigade, after dispersing the right of 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 when 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 there, 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 56th Native Infantry, under Major Phillips. Brigadier Cureton's brigade of cavalry taking advantage of every opportunity, manoeuvred most judiciously on the right, and would have got in rear of the position, 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 two 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 Cavalry which formed it. Several acts of 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 he. 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 cuennanding, tl.ey 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 1 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 Major-General J. Grey, C. 8., to co-operate with me, and that both corps crossed the Sin/loan frontiers from the north-east 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 haaard of a general action, I instructed Major-General Grey, with the troops under his command, to push as rapidly as practicable to Punniar, 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 eapital, or of subdividing that army is 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 has 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 recome 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-General; Captain Clayton, 4th Light Cavalry, Assistant Quartermaster-General, and Lieut. Pattinson, 16th Lancers, Brigade-Major of cavalry; Lieut. Cowell, 3d Light Dragoons, Aide-dc-Camp and Captain Herries, 3d Light Dragoons, your Lordship's Aide.de-Camp, who acted as Atde-de.Camp to Sir J. Thackwell on this occasion, and Lieut. peony, of the Engineers, attached to the cavalry division. Major-Generat Dennis mentions having derived every assistance from Captain M`Kie, of her Majesty's 3d Buffs, Assistant.Adju tant.General; Lieutenant Sneyd, 57th Native Infantry, Acting Deputy. Assistant-Quartermaster. General of the 2d Division of Infantry; and Lieutenant Dowman, of her Majesty's 40th Foot, Acting Aide-de-Camp. Major. General Littler strongly brings to notice Major Bray, commanding the 39th Regiment (severely wounded), and Major Straubensee, of her Majesty's 39th Regiment ; Majors Dick and Phillips, 56th Native Infantry; Major Ryan, of her Majesty's 50th Regiment ; Captain Nixon, of her Majesty's 9flth Regiment ; Brigade-Major Captain Campbell, of her Majesty's 39th Grenadier Company; Captain Graves, of 16th Grenadiers, Assistant- Adju tunt. General ; and Lieutenant Croker, her Majesty's 30th Regi. ment, Assistant Quartermaster-General, sth Brigade of Infantry; Captain Harris, 70th Native Infantry, his Aide.de Camp; and Captain Alcock, 46th; Captain Johnston, 46th; and Lieutenant Vaughan, 21st Native Infantry, acting Aide-de.Camp. Major-General Valiant has also strongly brought to my notice the conduct of Lieutenant-Colonel 51`Laren, C. 13., 16th Grena. diers, Lieutenant-Colonel Hamilton, 2d Grenadiers, Major Stopford and Captain Coddington (both severely wounded), and Captain Oli. ver, successively commanding her Majesty's 40th Regiment, Captain Manning, 16th Grenadiers, Captain Young, 2d Grenadiers, Bri. gade.Major Captain Abercrombie, Engineers, and Lieut. Nelson, her Majesty's 40th Foot, his Aide-de-Camp. Brigadier Gowan strongly recommends Captain M'Donald, De puty-Assistant Adjutant- General of Artillery. Although it was not their good fortune to come into action, 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 Rile , _ . . and that portion of the Gth Brigade of Infantry which formed the rear guard, for the manner in which he protected arid brought for ward the immense train of provisions and baggage which accom =nett !he army over so great an extent of the enemy's country. I have thug, my Lord, attempted to detail a series of move. ments, many of which came under your Lordship's obsertatiw"o, now becomes my duty, as Commander-in.Cbief of till' ar f, l' ssO, justice to those gallant men who, I feel I can consc ia" your Lordship, merit my warmest approbation ; and a lt t; prO fell to the loss of some, as in all actions it must, to be n' t ; i n mine:loy forward than others, yet I am proud to say I i hu ng t. arms the most animated enthu s i as m, a nd the most ab le turroor, To Major-General Sir Joseph Thackwell, K.C.Ba "' lo ok Generals Dennis and Littler, and to Brigadier Goilan.
