Honorary Licentiate of 2 he esPothecar ies sential ' object of his i t reatise is to po int out the fearful eon sequences resulting front certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, Which have produced m ore misery in Youth, degr adation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease kn own to modern pathologists. its perusal is Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It Is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are ; rinciples of personal management which cannot be violated with cut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc ceed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

It was a toast which, in his opinion, stood upon its own merits; it was a toast which needed no eulOgy from a chairman to ensure for it the most - enthusiastic reception from British far mers. He proposed that the toast should be given, as in olden times, with three hearty good cheers. • The toast was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm, and the National Anthen followed. The CHAIRMAN—Having paid the tribute of re spect due to their Most Gracious Sovereign, ho would now propose the next tc,a4t, which he was sure all present would anticipate, it was that of " The health of the Prince Consort and the rest of the Royal Family." (Cheers.) The Prince Consort had strong claims on their attention and respect, not only as the husband of our beloved Sovereign, and as the father of the Royal family, but also as a patron of the arts and science., and as a compe titor, and a successful competitor, in the agricul tural shor.v. (Cheers.) Serenade—" _Messed be the borne." The CHAIRMAN said there were certain times and circumstances which rendered the next toast ex tremely interesting and necessary that it should be given on occasions like the present, though it might no: be on all occasions the custom to regard it in that light. The toast he had to propose was " The health of the Army and Navy "—(cheers)—and when they con-idered that the mind of every Eng lishman and every Englishwoman, and he might say of every man and woman in the civilised world, had been turned to the achievements of the - army in the East, he thought he should not be doing his duty if he did not give to a large assembly of Eng lish farmers au opportunity of expressing the re spect they felt for the army and navy. (Cheers.) He was well aware that their minds had been directed in an unparalleled degree to the atroc ties and barbarities which had been committed in In dia. The blood, indeed, ran cold when they contem plated the acounts of the barbarities committed upon children sitting on their mothers' knees, and infants at the breast. But in contem plating these sorrowful facts, men's minds wore turned to those gallant deeds which had been achieved by the army. When the country should be restored to the Crown, England would be indebted to the army now in India for that consummation. Those men, consisting of com paratively small bands, led on by iutrepid leaders, had encountered unheard-of difficulties—they have endures the trials of climate and season, when it was thought impossible for any European troops to traverse the country. Our gallant heroes had had to contend, not against undisciplined troops, but against troops who were the pupils of our own officrA, having learned the use of the same arms, and having with them at Delhi 270 gnus, which had ben manufactured by our own authorities. He must mention here the high compliment paid to the Irmy (which had never before been paid to it) by the Emperor of the Frefich—(hear, hear)—which ought to be made known from one end of the country to the other, as affording the best guaran tee of the good feeling which the Emperor of the French entertained for this country. When the war broke out, it was necessary that our troops should proceed by the shor, est route, and the Em peror made it known that the army of England might pa - is through France. In the same spirit, the Pacha of Egypt had offered to give every facility for the transit of troops. And here he would pay the tribute of respect to Neill, Nichol son, and others of the bravo defenders of their . Queen who had bled and died in their country's cause. There were others who, he trusted, still were survivors, who had only last night received from Parliament the ackno tvledg rnent of t ser vices. Brigadier General Wilson, Havelock, and Greathed, Outran), and Eyre, and the devoted Salkeld. Again, there were Home, Lawrenc. , , Wheeler, Chamberlain, Cotton, and Edwards, till distinguished for their great military skill. The toast having been drunk with loud cheers, was responded to by Colonel Towneley. The CHAIRMAN said he had now to propose that which was the toast of the evening, but all the diffi culty he might have had in proposing that toast was done away wi'a by their respected honorary secre tary, Mr. Gibbs, who had printed an account of the society from its commencement in a pamphlet it appeared from this report that the society was first established iu 1793. In 1800 the numbers amounted to 50. In the year 1838 the Royal Agricultural Society had its origin in that room. He remembered being present on the ( ccasion, and being consulted on the matter. He found that the Royal Agricultural Society bad its origin from this. Her Gracious Majesty and the Prince Consort visited the show in 1844 and 1850, and the Prince Consort became a member in 1841. In the year 1539 the show was removed from Goswell-street, and he need not direct attention to the results of that proceeding. They now number 300 members, and they could say, not as a boast but as a fact, that they did that which no other club was enabled to do—they gave away each and every year 1,2001. in prizes, and the interest which this club excited, both in this town and in the country, showed how many were at tached to it on account of its practical utility. Their object was to produce the greatest amount of food to the people at the cheapest possible people at the cheapest possible rate. It was for this purpose it was established. The noble lord con cluded by giving "Prosperity to the Smithfield Cattle Club." (Loud cheers.) The HON. SECRETARY then gave out the names of the successful competitors to whom gold medals had been awarded. Mr. Edward Wortley, Lieut. - Colonel Towneley, Lord Berners, the chairman, and the Duke of Richmond. Lieut.-Col. Towneley's was the 20th gold modal he had received. The' medal to the chairman was presented to his lord ship bp Lord lfeversham. Mr. WORTLEY expressed his satisfaction at re ceiving the so c i e t y ' s gold medal. The CHAIRMAN gave "The Health of the Dake of Richmond" amidst ]oud applause, and stated his grace was absent on duty connected with his county militia. The noble lord very eloquently impressed upon the minds of the farmers and others the duty of aiding in raising and strengthening the most constitutional force, the Lord W. LENNOX returned thanks on behalf of his noble brother, the Duke of Richmond. Lord FEVERSHAM proposed the health of the noble chairman, and as be was the president of the Royal Agricultural Society, he would give "Lord I3erners and the Royal Agricultural Society." The CHAIRMAN acknowledged the compliment. Vice Chancellor KINDERSLEY said he must ac knowledge himself totally ignorant of agricultural matters. He was a judge in equity—he was no judge of South Downs or Leicesters • but he hailed with much gratification the success of this and kin dred societies, and he marvelled at the vast im provements which had been made in the feeding and breeding of animals. Take, for instance, pigs. He, in his ignorant simplicity, still devoutly L e _ lieved, looking to the silkiness and fillaleS3 of their coats, that they could arrive at a consummation so devoutly to be wishe 1 (from the beautiful pile of _ the pigs' coats), that they would eventually b e enabled to make a silk purse out of a pig's ear . (Laughter.) He was Equally ignorant as to the merits of long-horns or short-h..rns. The only horns he had to deal with were the c h He rg a r o d r l ed o t f h i a s dilemma.

Gilpin, M.P., in the chair. The meeting was well attended ; and amongst those present were the Marquis of Clanricarde, Sir E. Perry, M.P., Mrs Pease, M.P., Mr. J. B. Smith, M.P., Col.

W. H. Fox, and Mr., Dickinson. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business, said it would be difficult to exaggerate the importance of the subject which they had assembled to discuss t t h h e at rais nig g h o t v . er l nna t e w nl s of no the ne m w mi th on ian s g o to f I c n om di p a lain ;bli e t t recent events forced India on the attention of the British public in such a manner that the question could DJ longer be evaded. At the close of the last session the Indian crisis came upon. them W the suddenness of a tornado, and atrocities were committed in that country by the pet army of the East India Company which would be remembered for many a long year. There must be a cause for this. (Hear.) It was their duty to ascertain tbah cause. They must see if the real cause of these events was not to be found in the existence of nu irresponsible government. (Cheers.) The inime. diato cause of the insurrection in India was the alai vexation of Dude. (Hear.) The policy of anne x tion had been too long pursued, and at last tale people broke out in rebellion. Mr. Norton in hie book said that the policy of spoliation pursued Low the last eight years by Lord Dalhousie did more t• alienate the people of India than dii a century ot previous misrule. Gross misgovernment and mein: management characterised their rule in India, anti, the climax at last came in the rebellion now raging in Oude and other parts of the country. This mit" jest would be discussed in the House of Commonei but the pressure of the people out of doors would have great effect on the discussions that must there take place. By good government, by givihg a good land tenure, by spending the revenue drawn fi`outt the people of India for the benefit of India, and by giving fair play to the spread of Christianity, be thought that the people of that country might live happily under the government of England. Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE moved the first resolution as follows :—" That the present rebellion and the previous complaints in India, complaints of all ranks and conditions of men, except those whi" profited by the monopoly of patronage, prove that the system of the so-calkd double government has excited the general h7red and disaffection of its subjects, and has nearly occasioned the loss of our Indian empire; and, therefore, that it is ex• pedient that the double government' should cease; that no farmers or trustees of India should any longer stand between the complaints of the people and power and justice of the crown, and that the supremacy of the Queen and parliament alone should henceforth be recognised in India, as it is in every other part of the British dominions." He believed that if the news was carried 'out to India that the system of irresponsible government was destroyed, it would do more to restore tran quility to India than would the sending out many regiments of soldiers. They had punned a policy iu India which was called by the euphuistic name of annexation, but which was nothing more nor has than taking from the native princes whatever the conquerors thought convenient to take. (Hear, hear.) The conduct pursued by the Indian govern ment in Sattara and Oude was so infamous that it would get an attcrney struck off the rolls if pursued by an individual. He trusted that the government under which these things were permitted would not be allowed t) continue, in order that the inhabi tants of India might know something of the real character of the English people ; and when the valour of Englidimeo had put down this rebellion, he hoped tt,e inhsbita'.ts of India might knot something of the justice and equity of this nation. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MIALL seconded the resolution. After-what had occurred in India, he hoped they might speak of the double government of India without being accused of " utter ignorance of the subject ' (Laughter) 'The government of India was t curious a thing that nothing could be said of it which was not true and false at the same time. The government of India was now here and now there, but it was nowhere when you wanted to make it responsible for great crimes and great wrongs. Ile East India Company acted as buffers to the Board of Control. (Laughter.) They were powerless to do good, and convenient instruments for working mis chief. The real government was in the hands of the crown. There cou'd be no doubt of that. Why, then, did not the crown take the ostensible govern ment ? There could net be a more dangerous thing than for a government to have the real power, and s yet be con cea l e d f rom the eye and control of public oupcihnio unspeakable s ke (Hear.) I‘b° Se disasters,poy revolt which inflicted lapping the whole country in fire and blood, at length roused tl,e people of this country to some sense of their duty. The people of this country wanted to get rid of the Company in order to get at the minister—to make him come out of his dark recess, and do his work, as every honest man should, in the open face of diy. (Hear.) This was the real meaning of the cry against the continuance of the double govern meat, and it was not a cry of vengeance against the East India Company. They wanted the East India Company to stand out of the light in order that they might see what could be done for the welfare of that vast portion of the world. He was desirous to see an end of that jealousy of European enterprise which characterised the past policy of the Company, and that support which they gave 0 Brahminical and Mahometan intolerance. He wanted to see the physical and moral development of the people of India. He wanted to see an end put t the traditions of a government which com menced in commercial cupidity, and still, drew its revenue from a monopoly of salt and of opium. (Hear.) He wanted to see a smaller military force in India, less highly paid civil servants, and a free and ungagged press. (Cheers.) There were difficultit in the way, to be sure ; but what was difficulty but the mea - sure of the intelligence and the energy which was necessary to overcome it 1 The Marquis of CLANRICARDB supported the re solution, and expressed his regret that the question of patronage was made an obstacle in the way of Indian reform. He would, to secure the general. good, leave the patronage with the Company ; t but that he thought there was likely to be as much corruption in their disposition of it as could pos• sibly arise if it were placed in the hands of hot Majesty's Ministers. Mr. MEAD, in an able speech, explained the dn.% ferent systems of laud tenure in India, and strongly advocated the employment of free labour there foc the growth of cotton, sugar, and oil seeds, as the only means by which the revenue of the country could be made to overtake the annual deficit. He concluded an instructive speech by moving the fol lowing resolutions :—" That although a vicious and irresponsible system of home government, like the trusteeship of the East India Company, may be well fitted for extending our Indian empire, by its un scrupulous use of force and fraud against the feeble powers of Asia, still it is evidently unfitted for in• spiring confidence in British honour, and for con solidating British power in any part of the work!, and until it be superseded, no effectual step can be taken towards removing those evils of which the people of India so justly complain ; such as, a jud ".• cial and police administration which gives security for person or property ; a system of land revenue which prevents capitalists from investing their fox tunes in the soil ; a want of irrigation to develop its boundless riches, and of roads and c male to bring i s produce to market ; a traditionary policy of discour aging British enterprise and settlement in Indi;, and a monopoly of all the prizes of office by the nominees of the home Government.

In the House of Lords on Tuesday evening Lord Hard wicke opportunely introduced a subject which has never ceased to occupy a most prominent place in the eyes of the public, and which is still of the most anxious interest. The question concerned nothing less than the agency available for the con veyance of our troops to India, and the statement made by Lord Panmure o a the occasion deserves particular attention and remark. Our Naval and Military Intelligence will have hav ing informed made the p two f u a la b l e i c e t t a h r a t t a f t e h r e l 9 n 4 d t i h a in a transport named the Auatria, is now abou t to be Regiment,hired transport despatched overland. The price to be paid for the use of this vessel—a vessel owned, manned, and officered by foreigners, was about 30,0001., whereas so deplorable was the bargain that after the ship had twice put back to port in distress the attempt was Hard wicks very sensibly observed that the c ountr y given up altogether. Upon this text Lord would have gained largely by employing the Royal steam navy for the transport of our troops, and that, considering our marine included 270 steam vessels of all sizes, with a reserve of 10,000 availabe seaman at hand, it was "inconceivable whyrecourse bad not been had to those means," instead of en gaging at a great ccst vessels which, after all, could not be made to go. Lord Panmure's reply was exceedingly remarkable. He observed, in the first place, and as if to clear the Government of any ac countability in the matter, that the conveyance of troops to India was one of the functions of the East India Company, and that the Company was respon sible for its proper discharge. As regarded the case alleged, he did not deny the miscarriage, but urged that it was a single instance of failure in a series of successful exertions, and that though the Company might perhaps with some degree of justice be ac cused of having taken up indifferent vessels for the transport service just at first, they had latterly shown great zeal in repairing the error. After this exculpation of the Directors he proceeded to state that, as the regiment in question would now be despatched overland, almost all the time lost by the mishaps of the Austria would be made up, and finally delivered his opinion on the main question by " entirely concurring with his noble friend in thinking that there could be no valid objection to the employment of the large class of vessels at the disposal of the Admiralty." Now, as regards the particular case of the Aus tria, perhaps the plea of " first fault" may be al lowed to carry a little weight ' • nor are we disposed to insist much on th e ear l y bargains of the com pany in the way of transport vessels, though we were taken to task once for saying what Lord Pan mure now admits may be said without injustice. In this respect the directors did but share the blind ness of other authorities both at home and in the East, and when they engaged the Areta and her consorts it was under the impression that the occa sion calied for ne greater despatch. The important points of Lord Panmure's speech concern conclu sions of a far more comprehensive character. To begin with—let the reader observe the operation of the "double government" of India at a conjuncture when the most urgent demands are made upon the resources of the country at home. Nothing is more obvious than that the despatch of troops is a point upon which everything—up to the very preserva tion of the Empire—may depend, and yet the des patch of troops is a matter with which the Admin istration declares it has nothing to do. The Mi nister of War may provide the battalions, but by what means they are to be sent out, or when they are likely to arrive, are questions w;thin the control he "Company." To complete the absurdity, although the Home Government has nothing to do with the troops on our own shores, it becomes chargeable with their transport when they are on the shores of India, 15,000 miles off, and awaiting their return. Next, look at the confession at last pronounced with respect to the advantages or disadvantages of the Overland Route. After all we have heard about the chances of delay and difficulties of trans shipment, transit, and so forth, it is now plainly stated that the despatch of a regiment via Alexan dria will b e attended with such expedition that p t a b s a s t a ge the w b i a t t h t a _ a nearly all th e t i me lost since the sth of October in b a steamer fruitless d make recovered,the and lion " may be expected to arrive in India not lung after the period at which it would have reached that country bad it been conveyed by the vessel in which it had em b ar k ed in the fi rst i ns t ance. " T h i s we can readily cre di t ; but when, t h en, we b eg to ask, might th e 9 4th have been "expected to arrive in India" if it had been at once despatched by this expeditious route when it was first ready for de parture ? The remaining point affords a still more signal illustration of the tardiness with which we attain to a knowledge of the right course. We now hear the Minister of War expressing his decided opinion that there could be "no valid objection" to em ploying the enormous resources of the Royal Navy in carrying the Queen's regiments from one part of her dominions to another. But in the meantime, and before this truth was recognised, 35,000 sol diers have been despatched in transports of all de scriptions, some of which may tumble about the ocean for four or five months together before mak ing the port of their destination. If this " concur rence of opinion" bad been but forthcoming in June list, the reinforcements now tardily pouring into Calcutta might have arrived there six or eight weeks bhfore. We remember the old objections to the proposal—such as the necessary protection of our own shores, and the dislike of naval officers to become commanders of transports. But, surely, with a steam navy of 270 vessels we have quite force enough to defend ourselves at home, and to spare a squadron for the emergencies of our Em pire in the East ? Of the objections of naval officers to convey troops, we can only say that if there are any Brahmins in the naval service who entertain such scruples, they should be instantly dismissed. But we attach very little weight to this pretext. Of course, a Post- Captain would rather go to sea on a seaman's regular duty than carry half his guns .in ballast and see his decks turned into barrack-rooms ; but he would much rather do this service than do no service at all. Anything is batter than utter inaction or mere holyday cruising. Besides, there was ample scope in India for the more regular services of the Navy. A frigate and two or three smaller vessels insured the safety of Calcutta, and Captain Peel, with his 300 or 400 blue-jackets, has Leen - welcomed at every town on the Ganges. Bri tish sailors have not been even sent into Assam, and if they have not been still more generally em ployed it is only bnatrie they were not at hand for the purpose. The Whole matter comes to this, that when ships are wanted for national purposes the ships of the nation should be available for performing them, otherwise Parliament is likely to look at the. Navy Estimates with considerably lest liberality than before. When we talk of Britain's ascendancy on the seas, we ought to mean not merely that we can fight naval battles, but that we can command the waters for all purposes whatever. If great naval encounters are out of date duties of other kinds have succeeded them, and we believe that the officers of the Navy are just as ready for these duties as any other. What they naturally desire is active service and chance of dist;nction, nor can it be agreeable to so many energetic minds to see the navy and its seamen condemned to idleness, which would be disgraceful if it were not involun tary, while the eyes of the country are strained in following the march of its soldiers, and the whole nation burning with eagerness to reward their achievements. With the finest navy in the world, doing nothing but scour decks and square yardv, we have kept a regiment tossing about for a couple of months in want of a vessel to carry it to India, and have sent 40,000 men in hired transports. We trust that when next the Navy Estimates have to be moved, Sir Charles Wood will be brought to strict account as to the cost of the transport of troops to India ; and that if, as seems but too pos sible, a great disaster should occur from their tardy arrival, Parliament and the nation will know upon whom to fix the blame.

(From tlLe Friend of Indict, Oct. 29 ) The Lahore Chronicle publishes the following " Proclamatiou" by Nana Sahib : "It has been ascertained from a traveller-who has lately arrived at 0 twopore fr f om Calcutta, that pre ch,r,iiistianitY. the cartridges an do atofoorf the m e pre viously to the distribution o purpose of taking away the religion matter of people of Hindostan, as a c t o h u is nc w il a w a a s held, at which 8,000 Europeans, and tokiilso t , o oooli it was resolved that, reli gion, it would be necessary employid o 7 s , t o a o n o e 3: r and then all Hindostan would be converted to' petition to this effect was sent to Queen Victoria,. s and the opinion of the council which the English merchants Sepoys, lest, in the event was adopted. work, the same troops r h o o o u p l s d %, e b r e e allowed embarked ee °hd couneil was then held, to were admitted, and it was agreed to assist in carrying out the petition was perusednsumber of European soldiers rapidity and despatcheduldtohe ino a as England,there w 3 e s r : 00 11 0 i nEduorsotpa European' h of any great commotion arising, the former India. beaten. l e i n g e t n h c i e s In W te h l in ships with the utmost of their despatch w received in Calcutta, and the gentlemen of Calcuttaaaid issued order 4 for the distri bution of the cart:- 0 e es. Their real object was to make Christians when this was do : the army under the Pea that Christianising the a there would be no delay in people generally. In the cart ridges the fat of swine and cows was used. This fact . was ascertained from Bengaleei who were em ployed in m a ki ng the cartridges ; one of these men was put to death and the rest were imprisoned. Here they were carrying out their plans. Then of the Ambassador the Sultan of Constantinople at the Court of London sent information to the Sul tan that 35,000 English troops were to be de spatched to India to make Christians of that coun try. The Sultan Egypt to theeffect eent a firman to the Pasha of that he was colluding with Queen Victoria ; that this was not a time for compromise ; thatfrom what his 35,000 soldiers had ambassador sent it appeared that Iren despatched to India to make Christian s of the people and soldiers of that country; that there this ; that if h e vas guilty still time to put a stop t o guilty of any neglect in the o matter, what ki n d face would he be able to show to God ; that that f a since, if the English day would one day be his, Hindostan, in making Christians of the people of co they would attempt the same in his firman of the Sultanuntry. On the receipt of this the Pasha of Egypt, before the arrival of the ' English h. troops, made his arrange ments and collected troops at Alexandria, for that is the road to Ind•ls and on the arrival of the English army the la began firing withe troops of the Pasha of Egypt anon from all sides, and destroyed and sank the ships, so that not a single Englishman of them Calcutta, after issuing rema remained. The English at the order for biting the cartridges and the breaking out of this now spread ing mutiny and rebellion, were looking for assist ance from the army conningii from London ; but God, by the exercise of Almighty power, settled their business there.

This audacious rigmarole is a valuable contribu tion to the history of the rebellion.

HARWICH ELECTION. HARWICH, DEC. 9. The pollowing commenced at eight o'clock this morning, and the result of the election was never for a moment doubtful, Mr. R. J. Bag:.thaw taking the lead from the first', and maintaining it to the close of the poll. To the uniniatiated this may appear rather surprising, in view of the respectable position which Mr. Arcedeckne maintained at the nomination yesterday ; but his popularity seems to have prevailed principally among the non electors of the borough, who consist, for the most part, of sea-faring men, and have, therefore, a natural sympathy with a gentleman who manifests au interest in nautical pursuits. The available strength of the electors is only 301. The following is the close of the poll, as recorded by Mr. Bag shaw's committee Bagshaw .„ ... ... Arcedeckne ... •.• ... Majority for Bagshaw ... 161 ... 67 ... -94 The town was quiet during the morning, and the mayor, who presided as returning officer, was per mitted to do so with all proper dignity and gravity. As the hours wore on, however, the number of noisy fellows in the streets perceptibly increased, and when the period had arrived for closing the poll the hustings were surrounded with a dense crowd of persons, many of whom were evidently bent on destroying them. The doomed timbers were defended by a considerableforee of policemen, but a seiman scaled - a wall in the rear, and his example being quickly followed by others, the work of destruction was commenced a nd carried out in an inconceivably short space of time. The mayor and town clerk were glad to escape as best they could, and the official chlir of the former was bundled about very unceremoniously, but no one sustained any injury. The whole proceeding was regarded with comparative good humour, and by many persons seemed to be taken almost as a matter of course. TBETFORD ELECTION. THETFORD, WEDNESDAY. This election took place this morning at the Town Hall. There was a numerous attendance of the electors. The mayor, C. S. Bidwell, Esq., pre sided. After the usual formalities, L. Bidwell, Esq., after expressing regret, that owing to the ill health of their late meinhar, he was not equal to a residence in Lon,lon, proposed Mr. Alexander Hugh Baring as member for the borough. H. Tyrrell, Esq. , seconded the nounivalion. Thelqayor, hearing no other candidate proposed, declared Mr. Alexander Hugh Baring duly elected. (Applause.) Mr. Baring then addressed the elector;, sincerely thanking them for the honour they had done him. He felt that it was very gratifying to him to enter into public life in connectiun with a constituency whom he had the honour of knowing from his earliest years. He would go to Parliament un pledged to any party, and though his opinions would remain Conservative, still he felt that his duty re quired that he should go to Parliament to assist in carrying out such improvements and moderate re forms as were necessary for the country. The itn portant matters to be brought before Parliament dur ing the present session would not be numerous, but Caere would be the question of the present Bank Act, an act for the reform of Indian affairs, the Par liamentary Reform Bill, and Lord John Russell's bill for the admission of the Jews into the House of Commons. As far as the monetary crisis was concerned, it would require a better financier than himself to give any opinion, but he would arrive at the best conclusion he could after hearing the dis cussions in Parliament. He thought that they must not reject any measure which was calculated to alleviate the distress and suffering which now unhappily existed, especially in the northern parts of the country. As far as Indian affairs were con cerned, it world be presumptuous in him to at tempt to give any history of them, or to find out any causes of the late events. He could only say that crimes of singular atrocity bad been corn mated, and if those atrocitieshad been unparalleled in the history of the world, so had the vengeance which had overtaken them. (Applause.) He only regretted that the gallant officers and soldiers in India who had hitherto carried on the war would be superseded by men sent out from this country who perhaps were not so fit or so equal to maintain order. What the act might be as to the Indian question it was impossible for him to say, but it would probably be one for the total abolition of the Court of Directors of the East India Company, formed about 120 years ago, under a totally diffe rent system, to represent the interest of the share holders. ow if the interest on Indian stock was paid by the Government the proprietors would have no more interest In the company than other people. The nation had a right to expect that the directors of the company should be composed of the b at men, and that the power of nomination should be taken out of the hands of the select few who at pre sent enjoyed it. He thought, however, that such a measure should enact that the directors should be entirely abolished, and that Indian affairs should be brought into closer connection with the House of Commons, and that the control would not be given to men of moderate abilities, as hitherto. The honourable gentleman then promised that he would vote for the admission of Jews into Parlia ment ; and if the anticipated Reform Bill inter fered with that borough he would do his best to protect the privileges which they bad so long enjoyed. ._ Three cheers were given for the honourAble member. THE COLLIERS' STRIKE IN SOUTH WALES. ABERDARE, TUESDAY. As many very erroneous and exaggerated accounts have gained credence in reference to this strike, I pro pose to inform you of the real state of things at this time. As if the event were not in itself grave enough to satisfy any reasonable appetite for the alarming, false rumours have been sent abroad, and men fired at and killed. Nothing of the kind has occured. Threatening letters, promising violence, have been sent abroad ; but beyond a stone thrown through the windows of one of the managers' houses, no act of positive violence has been committed. I told you, in my former communica tion, that on account of the threats used by the " turn outs," and with a view to inspire confidence in the well-affected inhabitants, a communication had been made from the magistrates to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, requesting the presence of some troops. The Government lost no time in complying with this requisition, and on S a t ur d a y n i g ht a d e t ac h ment, consisting of about 100 men of the 23d Infantry, arrived here by special train from Weedon. The soldiers were immediately stationed in the Town-hall, and their com manding officer, Captain Smith, has, by direction of the Secretary of State, placed himself and his wen at the disposal of the justices. Either the knowledge of these military preparations, or returning good sense cn the part of some of the operatives, has already produced a salutary effect. On Saturday the cilliers connected with the Aberdare Company's iron works made an offer, in imitation of the conduct of the Merthyr men, to return to their employ. The Messrs. Fothergill at first refused to receive them, stating, it is said, that in the present state of the trade iron-masters can only keep on their make oat of motives of consideration for their men, and that, so far as they themselves were concerned, a sus pension of operations would be a desirable thing. Amongst the applicants for re-employment, however, were many steady workmen who had been for years in the company's employ, and who, having had nothing to do with the strike, were to be pitied as victims of the misguided conduct of others. Out of consideration for those men the masters relented, and the iron-works colliers have gone in at a reduction amounting is about 20 per cent. The sea-going coal men still remain out, and will probably give some trouble, if indeed they do not get themselves into diffi. cultier. On Monday Mr. Bruce, M.P. for Merthyr, called a large meeting of the turnouts, whom he ad dressed en the folly of their conduct, pointing out to them that the reduction proposed had been forced on the masters by the necessities of the times ; that " strikes" at all tines result most disadvantageously to those engaged in them ; and that were the masters to go on giving the present rate of wages, such a course could only lead to a ruinous state of things which must prove disastrous to all. The hon. member's address appeared to produce an effect, and, at the request of some of the men, he will this day have an interview with the masters on their behalf. lam not very hopeful of the result, as there are a lot of the turn-oats, most of them young hot headed fellows, who seem resolved not to go in, and by whom the others seem to be in'a great measure led.
