ONEY ittT mil' E AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two o'CLocK The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed heavily, and prices of all kinds were unchanged from those current on Friday. The sales were esti mated at 5,000 to 6,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken for export. The Railway Share Market was dull, and prices of all the leading storks again de clined. The accounts from the textile manufacturing dis tricts state that business during the past weak re mained quiet, b u t th e p r i ces o f most articles have been well maintained. The high rates for money and the dearness of the raw material continue to in fluence the various markets. The steamer Pera has arrived from Alexandria With the remlinder of the overland The Russian Railway scheme, which for some ra h "LS past has led to so much discussion, is' at length introduced to the English market, Messrs. Baring Brothers, having issued out the necessary prospectus. With the exception of Mr. Thomas baring the di rec t ors are a ll f ore i gners , w h o are we ll 411°ViII in th e ra il way an d b an ki ng wor ld . Th e t otal length of the lines is 2,585 miles, calculating t he mile at about 1k verts ; the particular direc !lens of these lines have already been made public. It's esti mated the gross produce from traffic will be 435/, per mile per annum, and calculating the expenditure at 45 per cent, the net profit is set down at 4,165,6081. The average cost is valued at 4541. per mile. The guaranteed interest, after deducting the amount for sinking, is only 4 11-12ths Per cent,, and the first issue is for 2,000,0001. in 20/. shares • During last week th e arrivals of.specie amounted to b l)°11 t 90 0,0001., and the shipments, including that 37 t he Indu s , to a b out 823 , 8901 .

THE JUSTICES OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Sir F. Thesiger moved for a rule for a mandamus_ against the Justices of Gloucestershire, calling upon them to allow and pay Mr. Gaisford, coroner for the county, certain fees for boiling inquests, which bad been disallowed by the :Court of Quarter Sessions, The yarned counsel said, the question bad of late be come one of considerable importance, and much obstruc tion of justice had taken place in the county of Glou cester. Toe Chairman of the Sessions bad appeared to take a particular view of the case, and had published a pamphlet on the subject. He held that in cases of sudden death, and where persons had died by the visitation of God, there being no suspicion of violence, the Coroner was justified in holding inquests. Lord Campbell said that was a very laudable wish on the part of the magi trates to put a check to the holding of unnecessary inquests. Sir F. Thesiger said no doubt that was so; but the magistrates of Qloucestersbirc appeared to entertain a notion that unless violence was shown the coroner was not entitled to his fees. In the present case it appeared that in the month of November last, Mr. Gaisford re ceived information from the constable of Westerby, that a female about 60 years of age had been found lying on the floor dead ; she had not been at attended by a medical man, and she was unknown to be labouring under a disease ; upon which Gaisford traveled 17 miss, and held an inquest, when the jury returned a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God." In January he also received information from a police constable of the death of a child, from being scalded, in which he held an inquest, and the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death." At the same time he heacl of another case, in which a per. son had gone into a chemist's shop, and suddenly ex pired ; and in that case a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God" was returned. At the following Quarter Sessions, he presented his account of fees, when the justices refused to allow the payment of the 20s. for the inquest under the 25 Geo. 11., cap. 21, and the 63. Bi. under the Ist Vic., cap. 68, which is allowed to the coroner for the payment of the expenses and making his action. The learned counsel read several cases which had been before the Courts to show that where the coroner acted bona fide and upon ordinary discretion he was entitled to his fees. Lord Cawpbrll said it was certainly desirable that some rule should be laid down, both as a protection to the coroner and with due regard to the interests of the rate- payers.—Rule to show cause granted. CURLEWIS V. THE EARL OF MORNINGTON, ADMINISTRA. TOE, &O. Mr. E. James, Q.C., moved on Thursday last, before Mr. Justice Coleridge, and a verdict found for the plaintiff, with 2,3391. 145., the full amount of the plaintiff's claim, for a taiLr's bill for the late Hon. James Long Wellesley, of the 12th Lancers, and interest thereon at the rate of five per cent. The defence was, except as to 3751., Statute of Limita tions, for a rule to reduce the damages to the amount, with interest, from the year 1846, when the bill was given, and the ground of the motion was that the account had been furnished generally, in the year 1843, to the solicitors of the Earl of Mornington, and that the giving of the bill in 1845, by Mr. Welles ley, was a general payment only, and not on account of a pealed transaction, so as to bring the whole accourr within the Statute of Limitations. The Court were clearly of opinion that the bill was given in part payment of the account due in 1843, and therefore there was no grouud for disturbing the verdict. —Rule refused.

The Life and Opinions of General Sir Charles James Napier, G. C.B. By Lieu t enaet-General Sir William Napier, K.C.13, In Four Volumes. Vols. T and 11. John Murray. Had Tacitus been own brother of Scipio, and. surviving him, writt-n his Biography —the result could hardly have been more interesting than are these enthralling Memorials. of the Conqueror of Scinde, penned by the classic historian of the Cam paigns of the Peninsula. This, in truth, is Charles Napier's nebleet and most enduring monument. Here, in this eloquent and touching Narrative of his Life—here, in these pages, glowing with the warmth of fraternal love, radiant with the evidences of chivalric genius, and luminous with the light shining out of Great Dteds and Heroic Sentiments —here, if anywhere discernib!e, is most assuredly the " IVeraento" destined to convey to posterity the fittest notion of all that was moat memorable in the Career and Actions of the Hero of Meetinee and Hyderabad. A glorious history recorded in appro priate characters ! A Tribute to the Fame of the last great Captain of England—in every particular mote solid, more massive, more substantial, th an the Bronze Statue and the rranite Pedestal, erected in homage to his memory upon the most conspi cuous Fite in the Capital of the Empire —a work of art so far valuable and of importance, for inasmush as it will serve to attest to 'a remote epoch the un affected admiration with which this Dauntless He In was regarded by his own immediate contempo raries. It is, impossible not to recognise everywhere throughout these two introductory volumes of the biography of Napier, the perfect and tender appre ciation of his character by his eminently congenital biographer. The key-note of this appreciation is struck in the very first sentence of the first para graph. " This," says Sir William Napier, in ac cents simple but thrilling, " This shall be the story of a man who never tarnished his reputation by a shatneful deed : of one who subdued distant nations by his valour, and then governed them so wisely, that English rule was revered and loved, where be fore it was feared and execrated." Adding, "For thus nobly acting, the virulence of interested fac tion was loosed to do him :wrong : honours were withheld, and efforts made to depreciate his ex ploits by successive Governments : nevertheless, his fame has been accepted by the British people as belonging to the glory of the nation." A mag nificent but sorrowful epitome of a brave life, shin is--with truth, alas, in every syllable! Attestations of which have already been emblazoned in inde liblecolours upon the scroll of the National History. Read it—and then answer ! They will tell you, those redoubtable annals, in regard to this Great Captain—Conqueror and Administrator—that his Life has no one ".damning. blot." upon it, as with so many of his renowned predecessors ! They will say, Here, at least, there is nOcause for ex tenuation in regard to the treatment of a Ney or of a Carraccioli I They will tell you, those atanals of England, when speaking of Napier, that Here was one who carved. out for his country with his sword a new and vast dominion. One who en hanced the Oriental Empire of Great Britain by the, addition to it of 58,000 square miles of territory ! A Great Proconsul—victorious 'first irealie field and afterwards in the council chamber r- And whose rewards for 111 this and for How much more ! were —a star and a bit of ribbon, incessant obloquy and spiteful depreciation ! It is very bitter and very heart-galling, all this—but it is wholesome, never theless, that the truth, miserable though it be, should be spoken right out, without fear and without prevarication. And that Truth. What does it aver It says, Here, in Charles Napier was aman who deserved well of his country—one whom chi valrous monarchs in the grand old times would have delighted to honour—a Hero and a States man—dauntless and magnanimous ! Yet a man who, for the most part, from first to last, was treated as the very target of national Ingratitude—a butt for every arrow of hatred, winged with calumny, pointed with envy, barbed with spite, and poi soned with virulence ! A strange, sad tale enough with all its glory—but one, alas ! too true in everything relating to it thus sorrowfally. So true that when the dauntless heart of the great Soldier at last. ceased to beat—there lay by his couch, as the sole trophies of so much valour, of such lofty Civism, and of so many and of such re splendent achievements—the Ribbon of the Bath and the. Sword of the Ameers ! The latter a spon taneous gift to the Conqueror and Administrator of Scinde from the gallant foes he had vanquished— a 'gift expressive at once of their, love, of their gratitude, and of their admiration ! Honour to 'the great, man's memory ! He shourd have - died not thus—but, ah I how differently I Died more gloriously he could not for his own heroic reputation. But he should have died at least surrounded by nobler evidences of the recog nition of his great deeds by his fellow-citizens. He should have died, if ever a soldier died, with the truncheon of a Marshal in his hand ! He should have died not simply a Grand Cross of the Bath, but a Peer of the Realm—an Earl, or at the very least a Viscount—if only in consideration of he having added the magnificent province of Scinde to our vast oriental dominions Napoleen the Great, with such a Paladin as Charles Napier, would have given him his baton for Meeanee—would have made him a Duke and a Viceroy for Hyderabad ! In stead of which, there was the paltry ribbon—there was the presentation sword received from the Ameers, once his enemies—lying by the noble d dier's deathbed ! Remembering which, it may be well here to epitomise, in contrast, some among the principal events comprised within the span of this one memorable existence—events (historical for the most part) occurring during the interval which elapsed between 1782—and-1852 : the former the date of General Sir Charles James Napier's birth in London • the latter that of his death (in th e 70th year of his age) at Oaklands, near Portsmouth. It Was on the 10th of August, 1782, that Charles Napier was born at Whitehall—the eldest son of the Honourable George Napier and Lady Sarah Lennox, daughter • of the 'second Duke of Rich mond. So that the Hero. of Scinde, through his Mother, was great-great-grandson of King Cearle• the Second While through his father ho trac d his lineage back to the great Montrose, and, as his brother wisely remarks, to the " still greater" Inventor of 'Logarithms, Napier of Merchistoun ! Glorious and aristocratic associa tions of consanguinity—enhanced by the remem brance that one of the sisters of Charles James Napier's mother (Lady Caroline Lennox) was wife to the first Lord Holland, and mother of Charles James Fox ! Charles Fox, Charles Napier, and the rest of that generation of first cousini, being all sixth in descent from Henry the Fourth, of France, as we have already' remarked that they were fifth in descent from Charles the Second, of England ! " Hence"—referring to this blending together of the blood of the Gallic King and the Scotch Mathematician, Sir William remarks, in re gard to his dauntless brother—" the blood of the white-plunied Beauvois commingled with that of the heroic . - Highlander in his veins, and his arm was not less strong than theirs in battle r Educated by his father : in January, 1794—being then scarcely twelve years of age—Charles Napier received a commission in the 33d Regiment. The' master passion of his life, an inordinate thirst for Fame, had already revealed itself through sundry curious manifestations. For example, while yet a child, he exulted on finding that he was shout sighted—because a portrait of Frederick the Gies . hanging in his father's room had " strange eyes"— because the eyes of Alexander the Great were said to be of a -different colour—because he read in Plutarch, that Philip, and Sartorius, and Han nibal, were all one eyed ! "He even wished" says Sir William, " to lose one cf his own, as the token of a Great General —[a child's thought remember !]—unknowing, then, that none of God's gifts can be lost with satisfaction." It is curious to note a little further on (vol . . i., p. 470) how, in 1837, "while fretted •in spirit, he was oppressed by congestion of blood in the 'eyelids, causing a painful depression, and leading him to fear the loss of sight, with poverty and an existence at once obscure and suftbring." But this was in his fifty-sixth year, and the period of which we have previously spoken was the halcyon dawn of his life, when the future warrior was scarcely escaped from the freakish fancies and the lovely day-dreams of childhood. He was then "demure and thought ful." He was remarkable for a "gentle and calm demeanour." Mr. Sheridan offering, one day at the Hotwells, Bristol, to " tip" him, accordin g ; to old schoolboy custom, but having the "tip" courteously declined—remarked, in surprise to the father, " Your boy is a fine fellbw, but very wonderful." True words, Richard Brinsley—" very wonder ful I" Here, however, before we leave these days of little more than babyhood—so strangely and so strikingly characteristic—here let us note, in pa s ing, one exquisite little baby anecdote of the Helv of the Hereafter : " When be could but just speak, hearing for the first time the caw of a single crow, probably a melancholy one, which infancy could de- 1 tect, he stretched forth his little hands, and, weep ing, exclaimed with broken infantineaccents, ill ha' matta, poor bird ? what matta ?"' It was the same' noble h.eart that cried out afterwards in the dap of is his Glory and of his Terror, when the flash sword was as a gleam of lightning in the ey f es Ameers, and when the warriors of Asia d u bbed him; in" dread and amazement, "the Brother of the Devil" —it was the self-same voice, the same noble. heart, unchanged • and - unchangeable, that cried aloud in anguish long yeata after wards. uptin the very . - morro , w 'of -one of hie most heroic achievements — , Battle ! victory !I Oh ! spirit-stirring words in the bosom of society i but to me, Oh, God ! how my heart rejects them. That dreadful work of blood, sickening even to look on : not one feeling of joy or exultation entered my head at Meeanee or Dubba ; all was agony ; I can use no better word. I was glad we won, be cause better it was to have Beloochees slain than Englishmeei, and I well knew not one of us would he spared if they succeeded ; to win was my work for the day, and the least bloody thing to be done? But with it came anxiety, pain of heart, disgust, and a longing never to have quitted Colbridge, to have passed my life in the round field and the devil's acre, and under the dear yew trees on the terrace amongst the sparrows : these were the feelings which flushed in my head after the battles. Well, we are born for war in this good world, and will make it while men have teeth and women have tongues. But away with these feelings I let me go to work, let me sink in harness, if so God pleases ; he who flinches from work, in battle or out of it, is a coward." Not for him, however, the life of calm and quietude, the dolce far niente under " the dear yew trees on the terrace amongst the sparrows I" Half a century and more of glorious action and Chivalric deeds—this was the very different path way upon which Charles Napier adventured while yet a stripling, when in 1798, as aide-de-camp to Sir James Duff, he first took part in the service of his country by participating in the terrible task of the suppression of the Irish rebellion ! Sixteen ! lie was no more than sixteen at that period when his public career may be said to have really commenced. What he looked like then, we may comprehend at a glance, from the contemporary miniature by W. H. .Egleton, engraved as the frontispiece to the first volume of these memorials. A smooth, calm, gentle boyish faee, as unlike as could well be to the keen, fiery, impulsive, impas sioned, eagle visage of the grand old warrior as he was in later times, familiar to our recollection. Speaking of his brother's personal aspect, Sir Wil liam has curiously enough remarked (vol. i. p. 117) that an extraordinary change became observable in it in the twenty-seventh year of his age, namely, in 1809. "Vp to this period," he says, "his counte nance bad been very comely, yet grave and sedate; his dark luStrous eyes alone giving si g ns of the fiery spirit within Aft er Corunna dress was disregarded, and his manner became eager and restless, with sudden spasmodic movements, springing partly from his wounds, partly from ill health. This change of manner was a mark of awakened genius : he had warred with and against men of mighty energies;and thus becoming conscious of ability, his countenance acquired a peculiarly ve hement expression,. and his resemblance to a chained Eagle was universally remarked." Observe—the ex traordinary change in his appearance, thus pictur esquely described and characterised, is attributed by the biographer of Napier "partly to his wounds. His wounds !—No wonder that they told upon him in some way surprisingly, those terrible and not easily numerable cicatrices For although be never lost an eye, as Nelson , did at Calvi, nor an arm as the same glorious Victim of Victory did at Teneriffe— Charism Napier was hardly less frightfully or less frequently hacked and hewed in battle thin even the Conqueror of the Nile and Trafalgar. sub ject to accidents of all kinds in his youth, he broke his leg, he nearly broke his neck more than once, in the sports of boy hood. While, after his entrance into public life, particularly, while serving in the Peninsular War, the blows of the combatants seemed everywhere as he went to concentrate upon his diminutive frame as the radii of a wheel at the axletree. Had he worn a magic girdle about his waist—like the scarf supposed, by his cre d ulous followers, to have charmed death from Ibrahim Riche, the son of the Egyptian Viceroy Mahomot Ali—he might have unwound it from his loins upon the evening of battle before enter ;ng his tent, as Ibrahim was wont to do in the pre , eence of his troopere, and have shaken out of the folds shower of bullets ! Look at the straight to which Napier was reduced, for example, towards the close of the bloody conflict of Corunna, where the young Major had command of the 50th Regiment. A musket ball struck him, bre iking the outer bone of his leg—he was pierced in the back by a bayo net—ho bad a sabre stroke on the skull—and was tbout to be despatched when he was magnani mously' saved by Guibert, a Drummer, and, almost fainting, carried to the rear as a prisoner. That final blow upon the skull was as the crash of Vul can's hammer on the head of Jupiter, whence issued, folly armed, the Minerva of his wiss and warlike Genius: crowned with the invincible helmet, and bearing in band the resistless spear. From that memorable day of Corunna, as we have already seen, bis.very aspect and bearing betrayed a total alteration—a change so apparent and startling as almost to amount to a transformation. No longer merely grave, sedate, and comely—his lineaments thenceforth evidenced the flame and passion of his impetuous spirit. From that time for ward be seemed, as it were, to bear in his every feature the impress of his fiery genius— he seemed to carry visibly upon his brow, in his glance, in his movements, the sign manual of a Hero and a Conqueror. Till—under the united influence of Glory and Ingratitude, of Victory and Vituperation—laden down with the laurels which he reaped so lavishly, and with the calumnies with which his enemies vainly endeavoured to over whelm his heroic capacity for endurance—he be came in appearance what we (all of us who knew him) so well remember—the "Chained Eagle" to the last 1 Revertin g , however, from the man himself to his memorable sufferings and renowned achievements—How (we may ask) are those suf ferings and achievements to be the most effectively and yet; at the same time, the most sententiously epitomised ? Howl By the simplest record of ' names and. dates—a very bede-roll of glory ! A prisoner among the French—Napier was treated with chivalrous consideration by Soult, one of Napoleon's Paladins, Marshal , of the Empire, and 'Duke of Dalmatia. As soon as he was sufficiently restored from , his grievous bodily sufferings, the young Major was allowed to return homewards on parole. To return homewards as one born again as by a miracle of resurrection ! For his name had been returned among the list of the killed— , his friends were in mourning—his will was at Doctors' Commons ! He got it back, of course, immediately : aed afterwards, when the period of parole had expired, got back himself betimes—to the Peninsula. He was on the Coa fighting as a volunteer. Fighting as desperately as ever : for here two horses - were • shot under him— and at Busaco he was shot through the face I Recovered agaiu from his wounds—he was at the - siege of Fuentes d'Onore, and made one also in the second and more memorable siege of Badajoz. In 1812, when Napoleon the Great, with the daring of Alexander, and the skill of Han nibal, and the forethought of Caesar, and the army of Xerxes, was conquering Russia, and routing her armies, and taking her capital—Charles Napier was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. In 1813—when the disaster of the Beresina was forgotten in the double glory of Lutzen and Baut zen—the young Colonel was taking part in the ex pedition to the Chesapeake. Direct participation in the crowning triumph of the Allied Arms at Waterloo, he was denied by circumstances—ar riving upon the battle-field only upon the dawn of the nineteenth 1 Accompanying the British forces to Paris as a volunteer, he subsequently had his share in the storming of Cambray. It is worthy of remark at the termination of that War of the Giants—it is wonderfully worthy of re mark now that we are in the midst of the Anglo- French Affiance, when Queen Victoria has visited the tomb of the Emperor Napoleon under the dome of the Invalides—it is touchingly and impres sively worthy of remark What were the feelings of the British Soldiers in 1815 as described by— whom ? By Thiera ? By Thibaudeau ? By Mon tholon ? No : but by Sir William Napier—our oen classic historian of the Peninsular War 1 And described by him in his equally classic biography of hisfamousbrother, Conqueror and Administrator of Scinde. What are his words? Mark them—learn them off by heart—note every syllable of them! He says— '" The feelings of the British soldiers [then in 1815] were unequivocally shown. Proud of their' long vie to rious course against the French, they yet respected oun/ the latter as brave enemies, and had a p rofound admiration, even LOVE, for NAPOLEON. T,h. ey thought of him, not as a foe, but as a hero staThantg alone ; a soldier to be hailed by all soldiers ; as a man who had enabled them to gain t he greatestpos sible glory . ,by fighting him : a master in war and the fast friend of warriors." Magnificent magnanimous, heroic, glorious words--the tribute of a Preux Chevalier of the Pen as of the Sword Mark the anecdote which follows : " When Louis the Eighteenth entered Paris, th e writer, his post being at the head of the picquets guarding the Berner of Saint Denis, was asked by the Captain on duty . there if lie was to salute 7" [This is a his torical incident : and now, observe the sequel of t , I have no orders on that head, and give n one was the reply." [Nobly spoken, brave Sol dier and truthful Historian And now as Marcel lus says in Hamlet, " Mark what followed it I"] Quoth Sir William (1., 267.)—" The King came up, crowds thronged forward, and the words vise and Roi were heard on all sides • but the last was generally preceded by the words l'Empereur et, pronounced in la low tone. The, British soldiers being left to them a elves brought down their musket from the shoulder, avid placing their bands on the muzzles fiercely re garded the approaching King. He seemed sur prised, but soon his countenance assumed a look of such malignant ferocity, so fixed, so peculiar, as never to be forgotten." Remember, English men—all this is from an eye-witness, and such an eye-wi ness !

Y. LANE. In the matter of this bankrupt, who is a solicitor, and extensively connected with bill discounting, it was origi nally intended by his Honour to give judgment to-day on some disputed points, but the judgment was adjourn ed' for hearing further arguments. CITY SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) CALDWELL V. EXLEY. The plaintiff is a seed merchant, and defendant is in the same business in Mark-lane, and the action was brought to recover the sum of 381. 10s. for a quantity of winter tare seed, alleged to have been sold to the de fendant: The transaction occurred in September last, and the plaintiff swore that defendant promised to pay on the goods being delivered at the railway station, and they were forwarded accordingly, but no delivery order was tend, red at the time, but afterwards an undated one was offered, which defendant refused to take on that ground. Mr. Buchanan called the defendant, and put in an invoice, on which it was stated that the goods were to be paid on the receipt of the delivery order, and defendant said that through not receiving the delivery order in September be had lost the contract and 6d. per bushel ; he refused to take the order because the railway com pany would not have delivered to an undated order. In examination by Mr. Mayhew, defendant admitted that be bad received a notice from the plaintiff that the delivery order was lying at his agent's, and defendant could have it on payment of the amount of the invoice, but he had never applied. Mr. Buchanan contended that a proper delivery ought to have been tendered at the time of the sale, and that defendant was not bound to go to an agent, but the vendor was bound to deliver it before he had a claim. The order was not, in fact, tendered at all till February, which was too late for sowing the seed. His Honour considered that the purchaser ought to have gone and taken up the delivery, as he had the op portunity of selecting his Own time and suiting his own convenience. He must therefore give judgment for the plaintiff. Racing Fixtures for 1857. Chester Shrewsbury Ludlow 14 JU. .Y.

Reading this, werl may we now exclaim in 1857, in the presence of the Anglo-French alliance, that for Englishmen hardly less than for Frenchmen, Waterloo has at last, indeed, been gloriously avenged ! The cork tinental wars for a time consummated—Europe having her sword at length sheathed—Napoleon conquered, banished, dead, 'buried in his island prison of St. Helena only to be disinterred after the lapse of another generation, to the end that ho migtit be ultimately borne htmewards and yet more , olemnly sepultured—how in the lull that fol lowed that great Storm, how, after that, fared Na pier, the young Colonel of the Peninsula f A terse synopais of his life may (in answer to that suggestive query) be thus readily compacted together :—Hav iug served upon the lonian staff for about a twelve month, Charles Napier, in 1824, was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of 'Cephalonia. Fifteen years afterward-, in 1839, he was intrusted With the CODA' mand of the Northern Military District of England. So that he who more than forty yeas previously had taken a subordinate, but still responsiNe part in the extinction of 'he Irish Rebelliun, was now called upon to take a conspicuous and most respon sible part in the military governa,uce of Eng land during the suppreision of Vie Chartist lusur rect:on ! Accomplishing his sha-e, however, hap pily in the last mentioned achievement in the Cause of .Order by moral force rather thaa by physical violence. Shortly afterwards, iu 1841, he was ap p doted to the command of the Anglo-Indian army, stationed in the Bombay Presidency. And in trie year afterwards, in 1842, was despatchedby the then Governor-General, the Earl of Ellenborough, t o Scinde—where he was entrusted with the difficuli task of keeping open the jeopar, I ised co annunications between Generals English, Nott, and Pollock, at that time advancing into Affgha.nistm. To say that in this enterprise Sir Charles Napier had to contend against an enormous disproportion of dif ficulties were to say nothing. How enormous rh se difficulties were may be most strikingly illus trated by the simple record of his achievements— the achiewments by which they were utterly dis sipated. Those achievements we may truly cresg- . nate, in one word, magnificent: They in cluded among them the famous battle of Meeanee, that memorable victory in which, with merely 2,600 men, Sir Charles Napier defeated and routed an army of 35,000 Beloochees ! They were crowned by the yet more memorable tri-. umph won by him soon afterwards at Hyde-, rabad—a triumph by which - the power of the Ameers of Scinde was at a single blow shattered to frag ments as by a thunderbolt. Nominated almost im mediately Governor of the new province, the victo rious General soon showed no less capacity than daring and energy as an Administrator. He caused canals to be dug, he turned the commerce of Scinde into entirely novel channels, he awakened in a surprisingly short time the dormant industry of the population. He abolished with a stroke of the pen —slavery, the suttee, and the execrable practice of infanticide Dreaded first of all by the natives as a bearer of the Sword of War, Sir Charles Napier, as the bearer of the Sword of Justice., was very soon regarded by the vanquished race with love and veneration. The story of his heroic Conquest has been told by his brother, the annalist of our wars in the Peninsula—as also . the no less notable narrative of his wise and mode rate Government. The subsequent events in our hero's life are yet more vividly tnau those of 1842- 43 in the popular recollection. They are so,•be cause in a historic! point of view they are but as incidents of yesterday. Everybody remembers well we the anxiety, we may almost call it the actual panic, awakened amongst us here at home by the first dis astrous intelligence of the Sikh campaign of 1849. We have none of us forgotten how the people then, as it were with one voice, fixed upon the Hero of Scinde as their destined Deliverer I How the Iron Duke him.elf emphatically endorsed the popular mandate by replying, when asked to mention three names among any of 'hose he might recommend for the command at that apparent crisia to her Ma jesty's Government—" Sir Charles Napier—Sir Charles Napier—Sir Charles Napier !" And finally, how, in obedience to the instinct of the nation, and in answer to the deliberate recommendadou of the Duke of Wellington, the Government did send Sir Charles Napier to assume the command of our army in Hindostan at a crisis fraught, to all appearance, 'with enormous difficulty, and with all but overwhelming responsibility. When he arrived in the Punjaub the war was over, as every body equally well remembers. But, as every body does notremember as it ought to berememberedin simple . justice and out of the commonest motives of gra titude, Sir Charles Napier signalised the com paratively brief interval of his last command over an English army, by vindicating in a re- _ roarkable manner his character as a military reformer—a military reformer daring and enlight ened ! In the winter of 1850-1851, he resigned that command. And in 1852, to the grief of all who knew him, and amidst the unavailing regrets of every patriotic citizen of the empire, having a heart uninfluenced by passion, and a judgment un warped by prejudice—he died, as we have said, at his estate of Oaklands, near Portsmouth. Peace to his manes. Honour to his memory. To that memory he himself has secured an unfailing s se petuation. His career will be cherished in the popu lar recollection because he made it a part of the national story. His achievements will be borne iu mind, because, without exaggeration, they are, in truth, among the greatest and the noblest of the valiant deeds of Englishmen. To point the moral of this memorable life, to adorn the tale of these heroic actions, it is well that Charles Napier's bro ther of ail men should have assumed the office Of . . _ . his biographer. Nobly is that brother acquitting himself of the duties devolving upon him from that self-imposed responsibility. So appropriately and h 0 judiciously is he doing this that we look forward with eager satisfactionto the prospective completion by two more volumes, of a work which, in the first and second, gives all the promi!•e of a masterpiece.
