I say, then, I regret it was not hea vily punished. The Sinde Ameers, having signed treaties, were unable to control their followers. The Ginlior,Durbar, having signed trea.ties, were at the same time preparing to Ereak faith, and fired on the first party of British troops they saw Where is the difference, except in favour of the for mer ? If the Gwalior State did not deserve extinc tion, it - is only because the existing Government may be termed an irresponsible one—one for the conduct of which the young Rajah and his future interests were not to be sufferers. But the authors of the mis chief ought not to go unpunished ; and whether the young Ranee (some say she is thirteen, some twenty), or any of her councillors, a little devout contempla tion of the Ganges at Benares or elsewhere would be of service as a warning to others. I am sorry that no general notification has been made to native States upon the Gwalior events ; at least, I have heard of none ; and I think they ought to be known in every State in India. There is not one where I would not have the faithless transactions of the Gwalior Durbar known to its shame, and to the future warning of others. A short narrative would answer, and might be generally addressed to all, to avoid a similar course of conduct on pain of the heaviest penalty. Political transactions are in differently known beyond their immediate neighbour hood, and whenever the news does travel by word of mouth or by letters, it becomes distorted.

As to Sir Hugh, in the fight be ap pears to have been nowhere except in the thick of it, cheering on the infantry up to the guns. I will not say a word against this daring, except that it perhaps might have been left to the generals of division. Had Sir Hugh Gough more generaly directed operations, he might have made better use of his cavalry, which were inactive, though burning for the fray,-simply from the circumstance of being told to hold their own, - , The Premiums for General Assurances are based upon a new ad lusted table of mortality.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. " NOTIFICATION.. , " Camp, Gwalior, Jan. 13, 1844. " 1. The evil advice of ill-disposed persons, con sidering only their own interest, and not the good of the Gwalior State, and the resolution of the Gwalior army, over-confident in its strength, to endeavour to preserve the advantages it derived from its power over the Government of Scindia, have led to two battles between the British forces and those of Gwalior, deeply to be lamented on account of the loss of brave men mutually sustained, but having for their result the secure establishment of British supremacy. " 2. The Go7ernor-General, successful in the field, has adhered to the principles upon which the inter vention of the British Government in the affairs of the Gwalior State was from the first based. He has only used the power which victory has placed in his hands, to carry into effect the necessary measures for securing the future tranquility of the common frontier of the two States, for establishing the just authority of the Alaharajah's Government, and fur providing for the opgr exercise of that authority during his High ness's minority. get round Shikarpoor on account of the ravines ' • and it seems to be the regret of all, that so noble a force had not an opportunity of charging with effect. The enemy appears to have got well off. Driven from Maharajpoor and Shikarpoor, they found protection behincl the third battery, and thence escaped through the ravines across the Ahsin river, and so to Gwalior. The cavalry could not cross that river, as the only pas sage was entirely blocked up, and pursuit beyond Chounda there was none. I do not notice General Grey's action, for it seems to have been a more deliberate one, equally gallantly fought, and with comparatively less loss, owing to manoeuvres suggested by the enemy's position, and most admirably executed after a long march in the sun. Here some 4,000 men routed 12,000 with every advantake of position, took their guns, and were only prevented by darkness and fatigue from annihilating the ,whole. Here again the Sepoys. vied with the Europeans in acts of daring, and excited the admira tion of all. The Governor-General's position on the field of' battle was noticed and blamed ;at first it appeared " 3. A treaty ealeulatPd to effect these legitimate objects, and confirming former treaties, has this day been . signed by the British Plenipotentiaries and the Council of Regency, and ratified by the Governor- General and his Highness the Maharajah Jyajee Rao Scindia. The hest and most varied provision for after-life hitherto offered — every 21. 12s. per annum, paid from the age of twenty, will, at sixty five, give the policy-holder the choice 'of an annuity of 47/. 16s. 6d., or 3491. Us. cash, or policy at death of 466/. Similar advantages at fifty, fifty-five, and sixty, through an increased annual payment— two-thirds payments lent at anytime, and two-thirds returned to re presentatives in cases of premature death.

ALLSOPP and SONS regret the necessity of again alluding to a statement put forth by Megan. Bass and Cs., purporting to be a correct representation of the current prices and shipments of Pale Ale to the East Indies. The incorrectness of the returns alluded to has been fully sb.wn in a former advertisement, notwithstanding which Messrs, Bass have pertinacionsly refuse,l to withdraw the same, thus rendering it in. cumbent upon Messrs Allsopp to lay before the public the to lowing detailed account of the actual transactions in Pale Ale shipped by themselves and Messrs. Bass respec. ivelv. In order to avoid the pos. sibility of mistake, the most ca , eful examination of t'e official re ports of the Indian markets, during a period extending over the months Of November, December, and January last, has been made, and Messrs. Allsopp confidently submit the result as a proof of the superior estimation in which their Ale is held throughout the three Presidencies. CALCUTTA. The overland " Bengal Hurkaru" (Nov. 17) says : " Of Allsopp's Ale 430 hhds. have been sold et Company's rupees 67 to 'l7 per hhd.; and of Bass's 3 0 0 hhds at from 65 to 67 rupees " The ' Review of the Calcutta Market" (Nov. 14) give this quo tation : Allsopp• C 8 to 70 rps. per hhd. I Bass.. 65 to 67 rps. per hhd. On the 14th of Dec. the same price current quotes sales of 400 hints. of Allsopp's Ale, at 72 to 7 rupees. and Bass's ditto at '7O. The " Bengal Hurkaru " (Dec 19) quotes the fbllowing sales : hhds. rps. ans. hhds, rps. ans. rps- Allsopp .. 20' 72 8 Bass... ...WO 6; 0 Ditto "CO 75 0 Ditto lOO 70 0 to 72 Messrs. Gladstone's reports of the market for Ale (N0v.13) were : Allsopp t 8 to 70 rps. f Bass 65 to 6'i rps On the 14th of December the same firm quote the prices of Ale as nominal, except Allsopp's, which had been sold at 75 rupees, and on the 17th of January at 85 rupees (50 hhds), On the 14th of December, Messrs. .gall, Matheson, and Co., say, " No sales of Bass's Ale have been made for some time past ; we cannot, therefore, give an actual quotation ; but rupees 67 to 70 \ may be considered its value, sr five rupees below your own brewing." Under the head of Calcutta, Messrs. A Ilsopp have only to add that Messrs. Bass and Co. have quoted sales of their own Beer at that place at 80 rupees, and Messrs. Allsons's at 75 rupees pc:* hhd. ; and on the 17th of January they even quote actual sales at 1 1 0 rupees. -Messrs. Allsopp have taken some pains to ascertain the truth ef these statements, and find that the ground for these quota tions is a shipment of 10 butts by the " Tecumseh." 8 of which, having been consumed on board the vessel, sr ere charged to the Owners at 90 rupees per hhd. as by account sale: rendered• 17th January, 1-41, the remaining two be ng landed at Calcutta and sold, one by private sale, at 81 rupees per 'rind , and the other (ullaged) at '7O. Ihe actual sale alluded t o by Messrs Bass and Co. on the 22c1December,• at 90 ropers , turns out to be the identical parcel quoted above, End Messrs. Mackay Helt, and Co , by request of Messrs. Allaapp, ha ing ;Toned to Messrs. Bass and Co., for account sales confirmatory of this statement, are informed by them that "there arc no account saves corresponding therewith." MADRAS. ........„..... The last recorded sales of Beer on the spot (Oct. 18) stood thus : Allsopp 7O rupees per hhd 1 Bass 65 rupees per hhd. Messrs. Bass and CP., state, under this heat that some of their Beer had been sold at 68 rupees 8 annas. 'Phis, however, at it ap pears from the statement of Melva. Haviside and Co., was for :le of the present season to arrive ; while, at the same period, Messis: Hall and Co., of Madras, had refused that price 'or 4t U hhds. of Albopp's. The attention of the public is requested to the ingenuity of Messrs. Bass and Co.'s reirese:ttati on in this instance. BOMBAY. The sales of Ale at this place, as per Price Current k Nev. 1), were— Allsopp 200 hhds. at 65 cups. I Bass CO cups. to 61 nips The s tne Price Current (Dec. 1) says :—" We have been apprised la see of hhcle. of Allsopp and Co., at 65 rupees per Phd ; of Bass's two sales have been reported to us, one of 52 hhds., at 61 rupees, and the other of . 5 hhds., at GO rupees. Annther Price Current (Dec. I) remarks We have heard mention of 2' 0 hhds of Alisopp's having been sold, since the dispatch of the last mail, at 65 rupers per Mid., which cleared the market for the time. A furl ter supply of 300 hhds. has since come in, of which some had been previously sold at the above price to arrive. The de mand for this brew has been brisk throughout the month, arising, as we understand, from the very favourable reports received from the country cf the quality of last season's brew." SHIPMENTS OF ALE TO INDIA. Under this head Messrs. Vass have at' empted to take an advm. tage in publishing the exports of Messrs. Allsopp frm the Ist of October to the Ist of February last. The returns are, however, grossly untrue, inasmuch as they have understated the shipments of Messrs, Allsopp in that time to the extent of 60'i h , ds. to Calcutta alone. It is true that Messrs. Allsopp's shipments at this period were unusually small, and that; with the exception of about 200 nhds., their shipping season did not commence till late in November, in conse quence of very extensive alterations and enlargements in their brew ery, which increased business obliged them to make. It is necessary to observe, however, that there is great posstility of error in arriving at the correct account of experts of Beer, and on this account Messrs. Allsopp have not ventured to publish the shipments from 1842 to 1845, lest they should not be strictly correct, but from Cc tober, 1841, to October, 1842, they were as follows, as admitted by Messrs. Bass : Bombay. Madras an. Calcutta. Total Hhds. Allsopp Basi. , 9,013 ..... 2,727 Messrs. Allsopp have only to remark that the shipments of the subsequent year have been as nearly as po sible in the same proporti ,, n, notwithstanding Messrs. Bass and Co.'s "four months' statements , when their brewery was net at work. In closing the above expos•tion of the advertisement put forth by Messrs Bass, it is necessary to state that, on a private representa tion of its gross incorrectness being ra,de. to that firm by Messrs. Allsopp, a reply was received in which the admission v as made that, by a typographical error, some misstatement is -(1 occurred. In that tetter an alleged "corrected form" was inclosed, containing the same glaring inaccuracies, which Messrs. Allsopp have been thus com pelled to expose. Messrs. Bass and Co were the fist to salty , a system of aovertising : their Intention to as-sime a position in India ith regard to the consumption of their Beer, to which th •y have no claim, cannot be misunderstood ; an t, bowel, r roping , ant to their own feelings, Messrs. Allsopp consider it due to themselves and ..the public to expose the misrepresentations which have been so industriously circulated, and defend the pre-eminent position which Ale of their manufacture has invariably helm both in the lndtan and the hdme markets. Burton.upon.Trent, March 29, 1 , 4 t. It will be of served, as a curious fact, that these quotations of sales are represented by two casks landed in Calcatta, one by private sale at SO rupees, and the other (ul►aged) at 70 rupees; whist on the same day (17th January), Messrs. Gladstone and Co. notice a whole. sale sale of 50 hhds. of Allsopp's at 3 rapecs.

HERALD-Lii ; e believe that many years have passed since a newspaper has had to congratulats its rea&rs upon such a financial return as that which it is our gratification to present in this day's Heratd. The return was made up yesterday, one day before the regular day; but against this we must set off the' leap year, so that the periods to be compared are equal; each consisting of 365 days; and-what is the result of the comparison ? An increase upon the last year of no less than four millions three hundred and eighteen thousand one hundred and sixty-seven pounds sterling. This increase pervades nearly all the sources of revenue ; absolutely all the important ones—viz.:— Customs Excise . . 474,607 • -Property Post-office Crown Lands .... Miscellaneous - The heads of decrease are:— Stamps 4.,"11y„,„.„ 0w ,,,„.....1.2 4 .099... • Tax 4 - • It is right to remark that under the head of pro perty-tax, four quarters are counted in the last year against three.quarters in the year preceding ; and we must, therefore, in order to approximate to aperfectly just. comparison, deduct the property-tax of this y pars quarter, corresponding to the omitted quarter of last year—namely, of the July quarter. This we find to amount to 861,7091. After this deduction, however, the year's increase will be found to amount to nearly three millions and one half sterling. We cannot, by any use of language, improve upon this fact ; and here we present it to our readers, accom panied by our sincere congratulations. CHRONICLE. — The quarterly revenue tables, which are usually made up on the sth of April, were Completed yesterday, on account of this day being a CloSe holiday. They will be fund 'in another column, and it gives us pleasure to learn from them that the productive energies of the community are not impaired. The increase in the quarter is—Cus toms, 384,9101; Excise, 85,316/. ; Stamps, 45,8851. ; Taxes, 1,987/. ; Property-tax, 107,627/. ; Post office, 30,000/.; Crown Lands, 30,0001.; making a total increase in the ordinary revenue for the quarter of 685,7251. There is a decrease under the head Miscellaneous of 500,264/., which, though balanced against them in the account, scarcely affects the sources of revenue derived from the industry of the people. The total increase in the quarter, both of ordinary and extraordinary revenue, is 825,2981., from which, deduct ing the decrease, there is a sum of 325,034/. more than in the corresponding quarter of 1843, to be ap t . plied to the services of the State. In the year there is a decrease in the amount of stamps of 12,6991., and in the amount of taxes of 73,0641., but on all the other branches of the ordinary revenue there is a con siderable increase. The total increase, deducting the decrease of the revenue for the year, is 4,318,1671., which is, however, less than the amount of the Pr:- perty-tax, -5,356,887/, by 1,038,720/. This turns out, therefore, a much more productive tax than Sir Robert Peel anticipated ; and the sum it yields shows that the whole of the incomes of 150/. and upwards, the limit of the tax, amount to soinething more than 200,000,0001. a year. What a prodigious mass of wealth! On the whole, these tables are satisfactory as an index to the still increasing trade, consumption, and wealth of the community. _ _ . ADVERTISER.—The usual abstract of the yearly and quarterly revenue, issued last evening, appears, like everything emanating from the present Government, far more gratifying to a casual view than to a close examination. There i, on the year's income, a Mal increase of 4,318,1671., of which 325,0341. appears on the quarter just closed. This total increase has been chiefly effected in the follow ing items : Increase on Increase on the Year. the Quarter. Customs £658,335 Excise. Property- tax 2,900,599 Post-of f ice At first sight it would appear that this-increase in the Customs and Excise has arisen from an increased consumption of articles subject to those duties ; but the real fact is, that this increase has arisen from the more vigilant management of the Custom-house, since the recent exposure of the enormous frauds of which it had previously connived at the perpetration, as well as from the more stringent enforcement of the Excise laws generally. The supposition of any material improvement in the condition of the people is a sheer fallacy. So much for one portion of this vaunted increase ; and with respect to another, that presenting "the largest item—the income-tax—the in dustrial classes, the chief sufferers from this iniquit ous impost, can find but little cause of congratulation in recognising the vast amount which is wrung from their hard-wrought earnings to fill the general coffers which misrule has exhausted, and which the authors of that misrule would leave in a state of bankruptcy rather than forego a single item of their own super fluities, or in any way reduce-their extravagance and profligacy. The total amount of the income-tax for the year is upwards of five millions three hundred thousand pounds, an excess of nearly one million and a hay over the Premier's calculation. What are the reductions to be made in consequence of this excess ? Or are we to have, as Sir Robert Peel recently in timated, this most unjust impost continued beyond the three years which was at first fixed as the period of its duration ? These are questions to which the country ought emphatically to require a distinct and specific answer from those intrusted with its govern ment. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. CIIRONICLE.--rarties whose opinion is en titl e d to weight, say, th a t the objection of " preference," started against the plan of exacting security from issuing banks to protect the bill-holders, does not affect the justice of the principle, for .they contend it is right that the Legislature should secure this pre ference. Looking upon bankers' notes in the same light as money, they ecntend that the Crown should take care that no paper should circulate whose per fect safety is not secured. Depositors, they say, need not lodge their money with bankers unless they choose, deposit being a purely voluntary act; but this is not the case with respect to holding country issues, which "pass as money, from hand t o h an d. It is to ba kept in remembrance, nevertheless, that bankers' notes are not a, legal tender, and that no person is obliged to receive them in payment of debts. But it is true that they possess a general cur rency, which renders it very odious for any indi vidual to refuse the notes of banks in good credit. They are looked upon, in fact, as if they were legal tenders; and it is, perhaps, fair and expedient, that if thy Crown allows others to exercise the prerogative of "coining," that legislative means should be taken to I secure the safe operation of the trust.

THE AFFAIRS 01 , INDIA. Bombay, March 1. (From the Correspondent of the Times.) By the last • mail you will have received full ac counts of the battles near Gwalior, which have in vited the strictures of the here, and no doubt Will be fully commented upon in England, to the ad vantage and disadvantage of all concerned. No one will for a moment deny that in both actions, so gal lantly disputed by the Mahratta troops, the British regiments and the Sepoys even surpassed 'their former deeds of bravery ; and that in flick despe rate charges up to the very muzzle of well-served cannon, loaded with grape, canister, round, - and chain shot, declared by the Peninsular veterans present the heaviest fire they had ever seen, the con duct of the troops, both European and Native coul.d not have ,been surpassed by that of any in the world. Whole sections were mowed down as the advance was steadily made, which never faltered for a moment, and in the first and last deadly volley" within 50 paces of the muzzles of the guns, and the headlong charge afterwards, we see the admirable discipline of well-organised troops, and a devotion to the cause of the British Government which, though often before put to the test, has perhaps never been more daringly displayed. The lons -of native corps equalling, if not exceeding, those of the Crown, both in men and officers, proves them to have been not a whit less daring than their European comrades; and the Government of India and the Governor General are, as they have a just right to be, truly proud of them. A bronze star, made from the' cannon faken, is to be presented to every man, officer, and soldier, who' fought in those bloody engagements, and an ho nourable nark it will be of duty done, and of fearless bravery. the tactics displayed by the . Commander-In- Chief much comment, has been, and will be, made, and all have joined in declaring that, under more precaution, the affairs at Maharajpoor might have been concluded with comparatively little loss. I doubt this in any case, but it is due to the Comman der to consider well- the dispositions made before any charge is brought against him for risking the event or the lives of his troops by undue exposure. It was believed on the 28th that the enemy's whole force was concentrated at Chounda, with the river Ahsin in their immediate rear, affording good oppor tunity to escape, with comparatively little less, should the engagement prove unfavourable to them ; and the Quartermaster -General had fully reconnoitred that village, and been fired upon from it. It might, therefore, be well presumed by the Commander-in- Chief, from the general experience of Indian armies in intrenching camps, that the Mahrattas would hardly change their position suddenly, but would en deavour to strengthen further what they had deter mined upon. Maharajpoor and the other villages were supposed to be unoccupied; and, as the troops were directed upon them, I conclude it had been in tended to make a temporary halt, and such further dispositions as would turn the flank of the Chounda position, and so render the action short and decisive. These intentions were, however, frustrated by the intelligence of the Mahratta commanders, who with excellent judgment took up, during the night of the 28th, the triangular position of Maharajpoor, defended on both flanks by ravines over 4lvhich cavalry and hcrse-artillery could not pass, commanding the road of the 'advancing troops, and placing them between the concentrated fire of several powerful and well served batteries, the existence of which was not known, or even gues s sed at., until the troops were within range, upon a plain which afforded •no shelter whatever. I think it may well be said that the motions of the enemy ought to have been closely watched during the night, and that blame here attaches itself to the intelligence department. , A few patrols. thrown out during the night, or a few small parties of intelligent sepoys, armed in the •native fashion, would have brought the necessary information, possibly with some risk, still the attempt might have been made, and would, I have no doubt, have proved successful. The disposition of the infantry might then have been changed, so as to have outflanked Maharajpoor, Stc. The cavalry might have been directed to the rear, to cut off the retreat ing Mahratta battalions, instead of being severely handled almost as spectators of an action, which fell upon the infantry alone. Above all, what heavy ar tillery remained with the army might have been brought up to cover the advance, instead of those light guns which produced no effect upon the Mah ratta batteries, and suffered severely. Thus the Commander-in-Chief might have availed himself of all arms. This is but theory, however; the practice proved very different. As the Mahrattas opened their fire, Sir Hugh Gough saw that he had, as it were, fallen into an ambush, and had but one of two alternatives —either to withdraw his troops out of fire, manoeuvre to outflank Maharajpoor, and in the interim advance his artillery, or do as he did—carry the batteries at once. He preferred the latter ; indeed, there seems to have been no two thoughts upon the subject. Ge neral Littler's column promptly attacked Maharajpoor in front, and that of General Valiant having made a short detour to the right to outflank the battery, de ployed and advanced to the right and rear of the posi tion, under a heavy fire. The two brigades met in the village, driving all before them, and afterwards carried two other batteries in succession, which opened on tliern as that of Maharajpoor was silenced. To have retired or halted would have checked the ardour of the men, and the hope of the artillery being able to silence the fire of the Mah ratta batteries, protected as they were by mud walls, and houses, was futile. There were no heavy guns near, which alone could have destroyed the de - fences of the enemy, and to have trusted to the light pieces present would only have delayed what was in evitable at last. It is true, if the troops could have made an extemive detour right and left, and left the artillery to cannonade in front, some loss might have been saved; but, again, the troops were already within range, and the fire and loss already severe. To have moved parallel to the batteries would have ex posed the flanks of the brigades ; the day was already advanced, and the sun high; delay would have fa tigued the men in a heavy march through fields, end those only who know the exhaustion consequent upon such a movement can appreciate it properly. Water was not to be had, probably, unless in the villages, ansi therefore there was nothing left but at once to make the dash which proved so brilliant an i so deci sive. As it was, the action was not over till noon, and with troops tired by manoeuvres and detours, the issue against enemies so well provided and so despe rate might have proved very different. Sir Hugh Gqugh says he had underrated his ene mies, and the result proves that he had. When will our Conimanders do justice even in anticipation to the resolution of native armies well provided with ar tillery ? At any rate, Sir Hugh Gough found them made of very different stuff from the Chinese • and if he was not told by his staff, that whenever the Mah rattas were found their artillerymen and infantry would defend their guns to the last, they were strangely uncommunicative upon a point notorious to every man who has the least experience of native sol diery. All Golundage or native artillerymen, whe ther Hindoos or Mahomedans, believe guns to be en dued with supernatural power; the Hindoos especially, that they are incarnations, as it were, of Bhowanee or Kalee. All guni are treated with superstitious reverence ; all receive sanc tified names expressive of their powers, and to all divine honours are paid on occasion of the Dussera, or other festivals. The loss of British troops at Mehidpoor and. Assaye was owing to them alone, and the obstinate courage with which they were defended by the Mahrattas on those occasions ought to have suggested more precaution than was exerted on this. Leaving the action itself as a hurried, dash ing, gallant display of bull-dog courage, it is neces sary to revert to the previous day; and here it must be owned that the Commander-in-Chief was wanting in the best part of a general's duty--watchfulness. The enemy was at Chounda, and, besides the precau tions I have before suggested, could not a couple of light brigades have been thrown forward as soon as possible after Col. Gordon had been firedupon, r too ccupy the villages in front of Chou nda ? The Mahrattas would not have attempted to ma noeuvre their artillery in the field, or if they could have been drawn out, it would have led to a more bloodless and more decisive notion. - Their cavalry never crossed the river behind Chounda; their infantry was useless without their guns ; and the whole might have been confined, for the night at least, to the first position, for the attack of which the Commander-in Chief's arrangements were scientifically made. On consideration of the whole, the enemy appears to have been the better tactician of the two; and the scientific distribution of his guns, and his advance from Chounda, prove the originator of the movement, whoever he was, black fellow or white, to have been a very clever fellow. There were English deserters who served some Mah ratta guns, and who fell at them. One of these men may have given opinions as to the disposition of force, which were taken up and acted upon by the Mahrat tas. Altogether the action has been a sharp lesson to Sir Hugh, and I hope will lead him to exert some blameworthy, but not so now. He accompanied the army, as did the ladies, on the march, and probably was as little prepared for what followed as Sir Hugh Gough. Having got, as it were, of a sudden into the very thick of it, he col Id not run, but, like a gallant English gentleman, as he is, kept his ground as the brigades advanced. Some people choose to sneer at his distribution of gold mohurs and oranges to the wounded ; but take my word for it, his Lordship, of his own tact, or of good advice, has found out the real secret of popularity among the troops ; and though you may say this is more necessary in a Commander in-Chief than in a Governor-General, he is not to be sneered at for it, except when he makes blustering proclamations, as he did when the Somnauth gates were brought to Ferozepore. His Lordship was a griffin then, as new-comers are usually termed here, and did odd things, which have passed by. He has again distributed sweetmeats by cartloads at Gwalior, and many a Sepoy has heartily enjoyed them, and thanked his Lordship while splicing the mainbrace in this simple fashion ; but we have no trumpeting forth of the matter, and the object is gained which was desired, and no room is left for persons to be facetious about what nine-tenths do not understand. At Gwalior matters have progressed to the con summation apparently desired without further fight ing, though some apprehensions were entertained of further resistance at the capital, where there was a large, force and some 200 guns in position in the various camps. The regular Gwalior contingent was placed early in the fort, and some guns mounted to command the camps. After a few days' negotiation, Colonel Stubh, Sir Richmond Shakespeare, &d., brought the men of the Gwalior forces to terms, their arrears were paid up, and to those discharged three months' gratuity was given. The whole have dispersed or are dispersing, except those who have re-enlisted for the new contingent; and the once factious, arrogant, and presumptuous Cumpoos of Gm alior, which, with their4oo guns, were considered invincible, are gone for ever. A new force under English officers is to be forthwith enlisted, and while it will prove an efficient protection for the Gwalior State, and protect the country from in ternal revolt, it - will further strengthen our interests in Central India. It will be as large and efficient in a short time as that of his Highness the Nizam, which has hitherto preserved that important State from in ternal disquiet,' supported the succession, and been ready to afford aid on all occasions to the interests of the Government of India. On the 20th of January, the Governor-General having finished his diplomatic employment seated the young Ma harajah on the guddee, with every ceremony, and declared that he henceforth occupied it with the full consent of the British Government, and having done this, and generally set matters in a fair train, his Lordship has left the rest to Colonel Sleeman, and Governor Stubbs, and departed in the direction of Calcutta, after two exciting months and two vic tories, adding further to his power in India, and to his popularity among the native troops. The Gwalior State has paid 26 lacs towards the expenses of the war, so that the events which have occurred will be no burden to the Company's treasury, and a native report has it, that the Ranee has ordered the dis tribution of 60 rupees to each European, and 30 to each native soldier, as a free gift from the State for the moderation they have displayed, and the respect of property which they have observed. There is, perhaps, no truth in this. A division of six infantry regiments, with some cavalry and artillery, under General Littler, remain at Gwalior for the present, as a precautionary measure, and the rest of the Army of Exercise has broken up, and is moving on various cantonments. - Now, with you many will cry for much praise of Lord Ellenborough for his moderation in the hour of conquest at Gwalior, and for not yielding to the temptation of subverting a dynasty, and attaching 2,000,0001. sterling of revenue to the British Crown, as they did blame when Sinde was taken possession of; but I confess that, for one, I must express my dissent, for . if ever there has been a case of down right treachery and insincerity in India, it has been the present. You are aware of my opinions upon the Sinde acquisition, and they have not changed, nor will change by the lapse of time. I thought that an act of oppression and wrong, and I think so now ; but the annexation of Gwalior, if considered as far as we know of the circumstances, and I do not know if any have not transpired, would have been perfectly justifiable, that is, if the existing Go- Government of the Maharanee was considered a a re sponsible one. I need not repeat the former history of this State, nor how it gradually fell by a succes sion of weak and singular intriguing administrations of women and young Rajahs, to a position in which it almost voluntarily renounced independence by the submission of every question of importance to the British Government. I will not repeat, either, the substance of the proclamations of the Governor- General, which gave succinct but ample explanations of the causes of disagreement. I can only say, that When a semi-independent State like that of Gwalior puts itself forward, not only in an attitude of hostility, but of defiance, and at the same time possesses such decided power of doing mis chief, some settlement of the numberless breaches of treaty was imperatively necessary; and as from the time Colonel Spiers left Gwalior, then only on the failure of all negotiations to the present, some six months had elapsed, the whole period being occupied with correspondence, it was impossible to bring the Court to reason without a display of force. In most cases this has been effective, but not in the present, though to all appearances for a time it was. As the troops collected at Agra, the amicable pro testations of the Durbar became more earnest as they advanced. The British demands not having been complied with, the Khasgee Wallah was given up. The Gwalior vakeels waited on the Governor- General, a treaty was drawn up and signed, and th e place fixed for a meeting between the high p owers . Under the utmost professions of peace from the va k e els the heavy artillery was dispatched b ac k t o Agra, and the Governor-General prepared to move forward. While all this was going on, the desire of war at Gwalior became decided; preparations were made ; messengers were sent into the independent States of Pluttea, Shunsee, &c. • a correspondence was maintained with L a h ore , and Heera Singh moved troops down the Sutlej to take advantage of an mis hap to us; the Pindharees of the Nemawar districts were summoned, and the troops and guns at the capital were prepared for active service. At the very time the Gwalior vakeels were with oily tongues as suring the Governor-General of peace, the Ranee and the whole of the chiefs were actively preparing for war, and as soon as the great object of the Mahratta vakeels was effected. that of the dispatch of the heavy guns to Agra, the Mahratta forces marched out. Now the Governor-General calls the Mahratta troops mutinous., They appear to me the very con trary. They marched out under the Ranee s own orders (who personally upbraided those who appeared to linger), and decorated with chaplets of flowers, which she had sent for the officers and guns; and could she have gone herself, I suspect very much that she would have done so. No one for a moment ap pears to have raised his , voice against hostilities; in fact, all advised her to adopt the course which she pursued, and for which she upbraids all in Durbar "4. The accustomed friendly relations between the British Government and the Gwalior State are now restored, and the British armies will immediately re turn to their own provinces. "By order of the Right Hon. the Governor- General, " F. CURRIE. " Secretary to the Government of India, with the Governor-General. Camp, Gwalior, Jan. 13, 1844. " (True copy.) "J. P. WILLOUGHBY, " Secretary to the Government." In this Gwalior affair Lord Ellenborough's hands were tied from the first; he had recognised the boy, and must support him. I have always thought the recognition of the boy a mistake, but that is neither here nor there. Now he might have pensioned the Dunbar, but he has chosen a less questionable course ; he has espoused its cause in earnest ; let us see what is made of it. If in having placed the young Rajah upon the guddee, and given over his territory to the charge of a Council of Regency, without an European head, Lord Ellenborough is content to watch its proceedings in future, I humbly conceive he has not done that for the interests of the minor which they imperatively demanded, and which he professes to maintain. No Regency ever was, or ever will be honestly managed by native agents, though Mysore under Poornea may be well considered an exception, and we hear of no one like him at Gwa lior ; the persons who are there have all, more or less, been mixed up with the late intrigues, and will require to be very closely watched in future ; and if the young Ranee's power has tot been extinguished ut terly, she will cause more trouble by and by. If Colonel Sleeman is to have the duty of guard ing the interests of the minor, and of teaching him his duties and responsibilities, it is not too much to say that he must either neglect Gwalior or 13undel kund. But this can hardly be; a Resident must be appointed to Gwalior. I would fain have seen intel ligent officers, as at Nagpoor, placed in general civil superintendence of districts, and something done to check the acts of the regency, both as regards civil administration and the Durbar affairs. 'Neither as yet have been done ; but the terms of the treaty are not known, yet, and they may provide for both. If they do not, it appears to me that a worse state of things than before has ben established, because the people of the country will be under the pressure of a military power which they cannot resist, and under an, irre sponsible Government, which will not fail to take ad ♦antage of it to further its own purposes. The non interference doctrine in this case seems to have been too far stretched ; and I confess I looked for a better arrangement, ensuring for the future the well-being and safety of this large territory, at the hands of the Governor-General. He may be obliged to alter his policy in future, and while the ball was at his foot he should not have allowed the opportunity to pass of turning it into another and better channel than here tofore. By the events at Gwalior all apprehensions for the peace of Central India are at an end ; and the Bun delkund Rajahs having now no force like that at Gwalior to back them, will be more circumspect in future. Lord Ellenborough's police force there is still deemed insufficient for the purpose of keeping the country quiet, and a new provincial battalion, 800 strong, has been directed to be raised forthwith. Whether by this it is intended to reduce the regular force or not, I know not; or it may be that the police force is not sufficient, and that a body independent of the regular military power is required. Yet there are strong reports that Dhuttea and several other small principalities are to be brought to a severe ac count for their restless intrigues ; and I should be right glad to see it was the case. At Lahore matters are quiet. It is supposed, not without reason, that an active correspondence existed between the Gwalior Durbar and this ; and that, if our arms had not been as decisively victorious as they have been, advantage would have been taken of the opportunity by the large Sikh force now on the Sutlej. Colonel Sleeman may ferret out the truth at Gwalior—if, indeed, it be not already in the Gover nor-General's possession ; and if hostile thoughts have been entertained, will a remonstrance be made, and reparation or apology demanded? 1 do not think so at present. We are watching the Sikhs, and they us. We have a large body of troops in an advanced position, so have they. A river only divides them, a nd any cause, however slight, may bring on a collision; it may not be immediate ; but though our troops are restrained . by discipline, theirs are not, and any d . ru . nken, or overweening leader may, by a . trifling act, bring on hostilities, which can only end in . a general . war— one which in his present flush of victory might . not be declined by Lord Ellenborough. It is providen tial that the Gwalior affair was settled as speedily as it was: all the disposable cavalry almost were at Gwa lior ; and, as it has been remarked, 20,000 Sikh horse might have crossed the Sutlej, and committed vast devastation before they could have been checked. 'lt becomes more and more strongly reported that 'kern Singh intends to abandon his position at La hore, as soon as he has made a handsome provision for himselfin his estates in the hills. Treasure to a very large amount, and strings of elephants, laden with jewels and other valuables, are being con stantly dispatched from Lahore to Jumboo ; and, with what Raja Golab Singh helped himself to, the Treasury must be pretty well cleaned out. Heera Singh contrives to hold his own wonderfully well, all things considered; and though the mem bers of the army seem to do pretty much ,as they please, yet he has strength enough to lay heavy mulcts upon persons of condition, which he could hardly do without support. There are one or two small rebellions going on, and disaffection is very general ; but the consequences will not appear yet— perhaps not till next year. It is a marvel to me that the Aff!hans have not taken advantage of some mutinies among the Sikh troops at Peshawur, to attack that district, which Heera Singh could hardly defend. I conclude, therefore, that the assemblage of men for the winter was impossible. Akbar Khan had, however, arrived at Jellalabad, and was supposed to 'be endeavouring to get up a crusade against the infidels. The spring may disclose his intentions more fully. LORD ABINGER.—We regret to state that the ac counts received at his Lordship's residence in Spring gardens, from Bury St. Edmund's, continue unsatisfac tory.

Mr. Bransby Cooper remained in attendance on his Lordship. The inquires of the nobility and gentry at his Lordship's were exceedingly numerous yesterday.
