Aucland did not—to punish the Aff g h ans by though the in- tliction of some signal and 'decisive blow ;" that the restora tion of the pcisoners was a prevailing object of his policy ; that he reposed the greatest confidence in p his generals, and atitude consistent with his objects II may mai, gave them ever Was e troops, and that above all he ent( tained the idea of regaining dominion over Affghanistan at once declare would be a source of weakness ather than strength in resis ng the invasion of an army from Having thus arranged with his Council at Calcutta the po licy which should govern future military proceedings beyond the Indus, Lord Ellenborough at once hastened to the north western frontier to facilitate and superintend the operations which that policy involved ; there he found that General Pollock utterly dissented from the orders he had received from Lord Auckland, and had pointed out (No. 203) the danger and hazard which a sudden retreat from Jellalabad would produce. Thus was Lord Ellenborough's previous once confirmed by responsible mi eral Pollock, with the assistance of le Sikhs, whom Lord Ellenborough had quickly restored ary authori se of the ob: the British Govern- I went, accordingly reached Jellalabad, and in anticipation of is junction with the gallant Sale, Lord Ellenboro 261) from Benares to S dressed a des Nicholls, reiterating the opinion he had expressed on kith March, " that military considerations alone should direct novements of The position which General Pollock's force sholld occupy during the hot months was therefore left in Sir Jasper's hands ; on the ulterior destinations, and the mode in which both Generals Nott's and Pollock's armies should retire, Lord Ellenborough also sought counsel from General Nicolls ; and he threw out (No. 262) the following considerations for Sir Jasper's serious reflection and advice : " If new aggressive movements upon Affghanistan should be deemed to be necessary, it will be for our consideration whether it may not be possible to select a new line of oper tions leading directly upon Ghuznee, which may enable us concentrate our forces, and to hold them in more immediate and secure communication with India. " It will, however, likewise be for consideration whether our troops, having been redeemed from the state of peril in which they have been placed in Affghanistan, and, it may still be hoped, not without the infliction of some severe blow upon the Affghan army, it would be justifiable again to push them for no other object than that of revenging our losses, and of re-establishing, in all its original brillianc tart' character :y, our mili- While, however, reserving these matters for further de cision Lord Ellenhorough issued (No 269) instructions as to the mode in which the release of the prisoners might be accomplished ; he authorised partial exchanges to be effected, but he wholly repudiated Lord Auckland's suggestion as to ready expenditure " The redemption of prisoners, rough, " by the payment of a n to the modern practice of civilis writes Lord Ellenb nsom, is a measure unknown nations, and which the Go- vernment of In - dia cannot consent to revive." The caution and prudence of Lord Ellenborough throug out this correspondence are most remarkable ; thus, for in stance, before the rumours of Sha Sooja's murder were con firmed the noble lord had prepared himself to refuse all *o repeat Lord Auckland's error by setting up or t ,—cations acknowled ging any king, and this resolution he at once corn municated (No. 270) to General Pollock, so that the military commander might not embarrass the Supreme Government by any recognition rison at Jellalabad in the spring neral Pollock's army was in id though holly un'provided with adequate means of transport, and without sufficient commissariat supplies for a further advance, though the hot aeason was about to set in and incapacitate the troops from severe exer tion. and communion with General Nott at id his army were anxious to Lord Ellenborough and Candahar, Ger advance on and re-occupy Ca_ boo Sir Jasper Nicolls had n however, then i❑ contemplation _uch a step, and the former informed (No. 272) General Pollock on the 28th of April, 1842, that he adhered to his intention of withdrawing at the earliest practicable period r Affghanistan, not within the within the Khyber Pas Indus, but " into positioua _, where they may possess easy and certain communications with India,"—a determination very differeut from t'- as falsely alleged, the noble lord has been so vitt abused. Still, however. Lord Ellenborough adhered to the wise principle which he at first enunciated, that " military c onsiderations alone should hereafter direct the movement's of the British armies in Affghanistan ;" and at no period did he issue a positive order of withdrawal within the Khyber ; b e reposed confidence in the Commander - in - Chief Sir Jasper Nicholls, and he exercised his own discretion. Lord Ellen borough' despatch (No. 283) to General Pollock establishes t his point. The noble lord had by despatch (No. 261) to Sir Jasper Nicholls, dated 19th April, 1842, expressly asked that officer to issue such instructions as he " might think necessary for the guidance of Major-General Pollock," and in pursuance of that request General Nicholls, April 29,1842. instructed General Pollock to withdraw " every British soldier from Jeilalabad to Peshawur," and General Nott was at the same time directed to evacuate Candahar and retire upon Sukkur. These instructions when issued, Lord Ellenborough (No. 289), on the 6 th May. 1842, sanctioned. In the meanwhile, however, Lord Auckland's, not, b e it o b se rved, Lord Ellenborough s, order of 25th Feb., 1842, directing General Pollock, then in Peshawur, to withdraw the Jellalabad garrison, had reached General Nott at Candahar, and as the communications the latter had previously received from Lord Auckland had in their general tenor amounted to directions to maintain his position, General Nott was thrown into great perplexity and e mbarrassment. On the 24th of March he therefore addressed to Lord Ellenborough one of the most remarkable despatches in the collection, imploring that before any immediate retrograde step, such as that ordered by Lord Auckland, was taken our whole position in Affghanistan should be reviewed. On the 18th of April General Nott again addressed Lord Ellenborough, and in his despatch (No. 293,) is this passage: — " Had I been reinforced [at the moment when Lord Auck• land's order reached him] with a single regiment of cavalry, I feel convinced that I could long since have tranquillised or subdued the rebellious feeling in the provinces dependent upon • 1 1•. • I . Candabar, and that a NI to garrison xtensiv id important cit ne free from my pre& Du, anc I the eirc stances I have now detailed still fLord E ugh the Kojuck Pass, Gener !onsideratioos of the Duld of themselves 1 October General Pol- ent •ould not commence AVe wit ad not been so, for one r would have enabled to attack the remain previous to the date a despat _., on the 20th of a (No. 302) to Lord Ellen • ?O-vl2 " If you should be enabled by a coup-de-main to get pos session of Ghuznee and Cabool, you will act as you see tit, and leave decisive proofs of the power of the British army, without impeaching its humanity. You will bring away from the tomb of Mahmood of Ghuznee his club, which hangs over it; and you will bring away the gates of his tomb, which are the gates of the Temple of Somnauth. These will be the just trophies of your successful march." Lord Ellenborough, without waiting for General Nott's reply, directed Sir Charles Napier, in anticipation of his ad vance on Ghuznee, to strengthen our military positions in Scinde and Beeloochistan. In communicating to the Court of Directors the discretion he had thus given, Lord Ellen borough thus explains his motives : we quote from No. 410, under date of August 16, 1842 : __ " You will perceive, from the perusal of these letters, that I adhere absolutely to my original intention of withdrawing the whole army from Atlghanistan ; and that I have, in the most emphatic manner, repeated the order before given for that withdrawal. " Some risk I deem it justifiable to incur for the recovery of the guns and of the prisoners, and with the view of ex hibiting the triumphant march of a British army over the ground on which it once suffered defeat ; but I consider the preservation of the army in Affghanistan essential to the pre servation of our empire in India ; and, however the world might forgive or applaud me, I should never forgive myself, if I exposed that army to any material or serious danger for the possible accomplishment of any object now to be obtained i❑ Affghanistan. " My hope and expectations are that, without incurring such danger, I shall effect, through the instructions I have given, every object now desired by the peolde of England." This passage is important as proving that in the latitude he thus allowed Generals Nott and Pollock Lord Ellenborough was not coerced as his libellers have alleged by peremptory orders from home, but acted throughout on his own unbiased judgment. It is satisfactory also to notice how constantly and emphatically Lord Eltenborough reiterated that after a display of British power and the recovery of the prisoners the country must be at once evacuated; and the accuracy of the noble lord's calculation is also manifested by the wish he ex pressed that " the last man of the two armies should repass the Sutlej by the Ist of January "—a wish now more than fulfilled. General Nott accepted the alternative Lord Ellenborough proffered him. The Governor-General also authorised General Pollock to negotiate a general exchange of prisoners; and in such general exchange Dost Mahomed Kban, he informed that commander (No. 435) " would be given up as unreservedly' and without any conditions exactly as any other prisoner ; " "when," he added in the same despatch— . ' " Every gun, and colour, and military trophy in the hands of the Affghans, and every prisoner within the reach and power of the de facto government of Cabool, have been surrendered to you, then, and not till then, you may give orders suited to a state of returning peace. You may inform the Affghan chiefs that these are your positive instructions." On one point only did Lord Ellenborough issue any harsh or questionable orders ; it was (No. 439) in directing Akbar Khan if captured to be tried for murder, and if convicted to be hanged. There are two communications from Lord Ellenborough to General Pollock which show how strong was the noble lord's desire to see the troops again safely within what in spite of Lord John Russell's sneer we shall still continue to call the natural boundary of British India on the north-west. Thus on the 16th of September, after anticipating that by that date every attainable object of advance must have been accom plished, the Governor-General wrote to General Pollock : " The state of the Punjab makes me even more anxious than I have always been to see your army on this side of the Sutlej. " I hope that no conflict between the parties at Lahore will take place, so as to interfere, in any way, with the passage of the animals sent, and to be sent, to you ; or with your ob taining the necessary supplies ; but you must not consider such events as absolutely impossible. " Under all circumstances so imperatively demanding your return, I trust you will not permit any consideration what ever to delay your homeward march ; but will put your army in motion for India at the earliest possible period, under the impression that no greater calamity could beta! us than your remaining at Cabool during the winter." Again, on the mere rumour reaching him that General Pollock had undertaken some new operations in Kohistan, Lord Ellenborough wrote on the 12th of October, " I trust that you will not have engaged in any enterprise of which the effect can be to delay your return one day." In withdrawing from Affghanistan without the formation of any political relations, Lord Ellenborough succeeded in making the Sikhs the advanced guard of British India by placing them in possession of Jellalabad, as is shown by the following extract of a despatch (No. 538) addressed on 18th October to General Pollock : " The Faqueer Azeezoodeen having personally assured me, on the part of the Maharajah Shere Sing, that the Maharajah will never recognise any government in Cabool which shall not have been previously recognised by the Government of India, I have informed the Faqueer that, upon the retire ment of the British army, Jellalabad shall be given up to the Sikh troops in its present state ; that is, without any injury being done to the fortifications : and you will, accordingly, so give up that place to the Sikh army, when its occupation shall_be no longer necessary to you. " I have ass'u'red the Faqueer, that the British Govern ment will not interfere in any manner in the future govern ment of Jellalabad, or in the management of the territory dependent upon it; the Faqueer promising, on the part of the Maharajah, that no person shall be employed in the government or management thereof, who shall be deemed and declared by the British Government to be its enemy." This despatch did not, however, save the fortifications ; but why does not appear. Before the Ist of January, 1843, Lord Ellenborough had realised his wish to see the armies within the Sutlej; and with the general orders commemorating their returns closes the Papers relating to Military Operations in Affylianistan. NORTH-EAST PASSAGE TO CHINA.---AS this scheme has been lately started as something new, it will interesting to know that, in the 1721, a small book was printed in London, entitled " The New Passage to China and Japan, by the way of the North Pole." The book, however, is said to be very rare. MIDLAND COUNTIES RAILWAY.—On Tuesday a special general meeting of the proprietors of the Midland Counties Railway was held at Derby, " for the purpose of taking into consideration the report of the Committee of Inquiry." The following motion was submitted by Mr. Birley, seconded by Dr. Heygate :—" That this meeting is of opinion that the charges brought against the directors have been satisfactorily answered, and trust the present and future directors will take into consideration the retrenchments suggested by the com mittee, and pursue a course of rigid economy; and that this meeting thank the committee for the trouble they have taken." Upon this motion an amendment was moved, pro- Dosed by Mr. Charles Paget, seconded by Mr. Barrow:— That the thanks of this meeting be given to the Committee )f Inquiry for their valuable services, and that this meeting low receive their report, referring the details thereof to the evy• board of directors, to be appointed at the co m i ng half early general meeting, for their consideration." Th e amend lent being put to the vote, the numbers were—for, 66; 'ainst, 44. A poll was then demanded, and on the proxies b eing cast up, the following was the result Against the amendment For Majority in favour of the directors, and against the amendment SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.—On Feiday morning two men, named Francis and Pettit, who went to work at a limekiln, in a field at Haggerstone, found there the remains of a human being, who, having by some means fallen into the kiln, had been entirely destroyed by the fire and the lime.

GENERAL M`DOUGAL AND COLONEL HEPEURN.—Tbe Court at Columbus was occupied three days with the trial of General M`Dougal, who, it will be recollected, shot Hepburn dead in his own office. The case then went to the jury. They were out ten minutes and returned a verdict of not guilty. The half-yearly meeting of the Great Western Railway Company was held on Thursday. The returns for the last six months had increased by £21,311 over the corresponding period of 1841. A dividend of three and a half per cent. was declared. A mobile paper, of the sth January, says, the captain of a northern ship, at New Orleans, was fined 3,000 dollars on Alonday, for attempting to pass off, as free negroes, three slaves. His excuse was that he wanted to keep the men out of gaol.

It would be desirable, undoubtedly, that before quit ng Affghanistan, you should have an opportunity of striking at the enemy ; and since circumstances seem to com pel you to remain there till October, the Governor-General earnestly hopes that you may be enabled to draw the enemy into a position in which you may strike such a blow effectu ally. You have already full powers to do everything you may deem necessary for the comfort of your troops, and for their efficiency. " 7. It will be for your consideration whether your large army, one-half of which would beat, in open field, every thing that could be brought against it in Affghanistan, should remain entirely inactive during the period which must now apparently elapse before it can finally retire. Although you may not nave, or soon be able to procure, the means of moving your whole army, you may possibly be able to move a part of it rapidly against some portion of the enemy's force incautiously exposed, and of giving it a severe blow. " 11. You have properly no political duties; you are to be governed by military considerations alone to make the force you have at your disposal felt by the enemy, whenever you can, and withdraw it at the earliest period, consistently with easy and certain communication with India. The execution of these military objects will, of itself, accomplish all the political objects which the government now bas in Affghanistan. mated to General Nott that below t Thus asses till October I Lord Ellenborough give to Gen. Pollock a see, similar powers to General Nott also while been reinforced at Candahar by the Kelat-i-Ghilzve garrison, arid the plight of his army was greatly improved by the receipt of additional means of carriage; Lord Ellenborough therefore, in the spirit which he had acted throughout towards the military authorities, left to the general's option the line by which he should with draw his troops,—whether by Quetta, the Kojuek Pass and Sukkur, or by way of Guznee, Cabool. and Jellalahad. Lord Ellenborough in his despatch (No. 404), July -1, 1842, places in striking colours all the difficulties of the latter course before General Nott I IN - ott had In Dependent entirely upon the courage of your army. and upon your own ability in directing it, I should not have any doubt as to the success of the operation; but whether you . - will be able to obtain provisions for your troops, during the whole march, and forage for your animals, may be a matter of reasonable doubt. Yet upon this your success will turn. " You must remember that it was not the superior courage of the Affghans, but want, and the inclemency of the season, which led to the destruction of the army at Cabool ; and you must feel as I do, that the loss of another army, from what cause it might arise, might be fatal to our government in India " I do not nndervalue the aid which our government in India would receive from the successful execution by your a march through Ghuznee and Cahool, over the .ones of our late disasters. I know all the effect which it would have upon the minds of our soldiers, of our allies, of our enemies in Asia, and of our countrymen, and of all foreign nations in Europe. It is an object of just ambition, which no one more than myself would rejoice to see effected ; but I see that failure in the attempt is certain and irretrievable ruin; and I would endeavour to inspire you with the neces sary caution, and make you feel that, great as are the objects to be obtained by success, the risk is great also." Lord Ellenborough knew well the choice General Nott would make, and the only condition he attached to the ad vance was, that the General was to reach Jellalabad in the first week of October, so as to form the rear-guard of Gene ral Pollock's evacuating army ; he enforced humanity in dealing with the towns the general might take, and by this despatch involved himself in all the trouble which has arisen out of the sandal wood gates. army of cities 1 ye the Thus then ace or ret ► Cabool to t MI6CLIA.AN4OVS. pfatea nt inquiry Aro:. that re 171 st6uni engines ere n the of Ceinnel Leslie, (conservative,) was elected member for the county of Monag had, on Thursday last, without opposition.

Supplies from all quarters are moderate, the demand equally so, and the trade during the week has moved on slowly, with little al teration in the value of any article. The above remarks are ap plicable to the Liverpool and Wakefield markets of yesterday, nor does the business transacted at our Exchange to-day call for any particular additional observation. We have merely to state that the value of each article is much the same as on this day week ; but there is no life in the trade, and the demand for each is con fined to such quantities as are requisite for present consumption. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, FEB. 20. The very severe weather which we have experienced for the last few days, has had a tendency of staying the downward progress in the prices of Butter. Still there is much apathy observable in the trade; consumers declining to touch anything beyond their inimediate wants. The average rate of good Butters we quote at 7(s. Pickled Butter is in few hands, and the late currency (745) is supported. There have been a few hundred barrels of Pork, of fair quality, taken for shipment to the West Indies, at 45s to 47s lid per brl. The trade, generally, both for this article and Beef, is how ever very dull. Bacon is in such limited demand, that we look upon the prices as nominal at 34s to 365. LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, FEB. 17. Sugar.—There has been rather more inquiry for B. P., and the sales amount to 500 hhds, chiefly strong brown qualities, to the Refiners, at rather lower prices. Holders of Bengal have sub mitted to a further decline, and in consequence have succeded in disposing of 5200 bags ; Khaur at 44s 6(1, and good to fine white at 64s 6d to 65s 6d per cwt. No sales of Mauritius. Foreign.- 50 cases good brown Pernambuco, of old import, have been sold at I7s (d per cwt. No sales in Molasses. Coffee.—The demand con tinues very limited, the sales comprising only 60 casks of Jamaica, at rather lower rates for ordinary sorts, and 100 bags and bris. La Guayra, at 585 6d for middling, and 63s to 65s for good middling. No transactions reported in Cocoa, Ginger, Pimento or Pepper. Rice.-700 bags of Bengal sold at lOs to ha 6d, and 150 bags damaged at gs per cwt. The business in Rum is limited to 40 puns. of Demerara, at 2s sd to 3s 2d, and 80 puns. of East India, 30 per cent. 0. P., at is gd per gallon. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEBRUARY 17. A fair inquiry for Cotton to-day, and 4000 to 5000 bales sold. The sales of the week are 27,910 bales, of which 4000 American have been taken by speculators, and 1000 by ex porters. Prices, as a whole, about id. per lb. lower since this day fortnight, particularly in low American descriptions. COTTON MARKET, FEBRUARY 20 We are enabled to report a better state of things in our Cotton market both in tone, feeling and increased demand ; fully 8000 bales have been sold at a shade advance of Saturday's prices, and the market closes steadily, and with much firmness;—the supply is nevertheless abundant. COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT The trade continues to buy rather freely, and there is a fair in quiry for speculation and export; but so great has been the anxiety on the part of some of the holders to effect sales, that a further decline of id to id 4, lb has been submitted to for American descriptions. The demand for other kinds is comparatively insig nifficant, and the prices are rather lower. Speculatorr have taken 4000 American, and Exporters 1000 American.

The duties on foreign Pease is ls., and colonial 6d. per quarter higher, which are the only changes noticed in the average returns received to-day. Although contrary winds have continued to prevail, several vessels have worked up since the beginning of the week, con taining, however, on the whole, but a very moderate fresh supply of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal coastwise and from Ireland ; and as usual of late, we have no foreign arrivals to report; thus leaving the market very indifferently provided w'th such descriptions as are more immediately wanted by our dealers ; they have, notwithstanding, held off in antici pation of better supplies, and combined with the pressure affecting other branches of business, the Corn trade up to yesterday was unimproved in demand, without variation from the rates previously quoted. Some inquiries existed for foreign Wheats, but at prices generally so low, as to pre vent anything beyond a few limited purchases. This day's market presented no new features • the attend ance of actual buyers was li m it e d, an d sa l es of Wheat, both Foreign and Irish, proceeded slowly, at much the same prices for the former, and, on account of the short supply, at the full rates of Tuesday for the latter description. The farmers being occupied with field labour during the present fine dry frosty weather, scarcely a sample of country Wheat was shown to-day. English and Irish Flour was in fair request at the currency of Tuesday last, but in American parcels we had little doing. The few arrivals of Roundland and Chevalier Barley were cleared off at 335. to 345. per quarter, and other sorts in pro portion : there was also rather more inquiry for the com mon descriptions of this grain. In Malt, Beans, and Pease, no alteration, either as to de mand or value. . We ex penenced a better sale for Mealing Oats, and in the absence of any adequate supply, our extreme rates were more easily obtainable. Scarcely anything was, however, done in Oatmeal, holders still requiring 21s. 6d., and there being no buyers in any quantity above 21s. per 240 lbs. LIVERPOOL PR . CES CURRENT. ASHES MADDER, 4, C/Ot.
