OFFICIAL DESPATCHES.

A supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday,
published on Wednesday, contain.; a number of
despatches relating to events which, owing to a
variety of causes, have hitherto been reported only
imperfectly. The four first of these rslate to the

The casualties amount to one officer slightly, three
privates slightly, and two severely, wounded.
The steadiness of the troopi, and the promptitude with
which my orders were carried out by my officers, gives
me every assurance that the enemy's attack, if it had been
as formidable as their forces were numerous, would have
been as signally defeated.

On the 17th of January the attack was again re-
newed, but repulsed by the terrible fire of our ar-
tillery :
On the left front and left, the enemy advanced skit..
mishers, and threatened during the greater part of the
day, suffering severely whenever they ventured within
range. After dark they assembled in great strength in
front of my left advanced village outpost, commanded by
Major Gordon, 75th Regiment, and attacked it v'ith a
large body of infantry, who were allowed to approach
within eighty yards of the post, when they were received
with discharges of grape from three guns, and a heavy
fire from the Rifles of the post, which inflicted very severe
loss, and drove them off immediately. Some shells from
an 8-inch mortar expedited their retreat. The Enfield
Rifles, and Captain Maude's guns, in Alumbagh, had
several opportunities of inflicting severe loss on the
enemy, which were promptly taken advantage of. A large
body of cavalry showed on my left rear, and were safely
left to the vigilance of Captain Olpherts, who watched and
kept them in check with his four horse-battery guns, sup-
ported by a detachment of the military train, under Cap-
tain Clarke.
The casualties of my force during the day amounted to
1 bombardier killed, 7 European infantry wounded, and 1
gunner wounded by a fall from his gun.

Passing by some despatches relating to the opera-
tions of the Malwa Field Force, and which are dated
as long ago as last November, we come to

of Directors, elected by the holders of stock.
But now, when the Indian empire exceeds all
Europe in population, and is second only to
the enormous empire of China, it seems to be
admitted, by general consent, that some larger
and more fitting method of government and
administration must be provided than that
which sufficed in the days of the First and
Second GEORGES.
But, if this great question is to be properly
dealt with, the plan propounded and adopted
must inevitably contain something new.
The first proposal was that of Lord PAL•
MERSTON. He simply abolished the Company
and its government, and made the President
of the Board of Control the future ruler
of India. A Council was to be given to him,
but a Council only resembling the Council of
the First Lord of the Treasury. The Treasury
has its four puisne lords ; the India Board
was to have its eight councillors. But, as no
one imagines that the puisne Lords of the
Treasury have the least share in directing the
course of the Government, so no one could
suppose that these eight Indian councillors,
appointed by the Crown, and liable to re-
appointment or discontinuance, could have
been anything more than so many gentle-
manly assistants and advisers to the President ;
helping him with their counsel and the
results of their experience, but having no
practical weight in the government of India.

We have met with no one person, even among
Lord PALMERSTON'S adherents, who will say
that his Lordship's India Bill was a good
one ; or that it ought to pass, as it was
proposed.
The present Government accepted office
while the question was in this predicament.
London, England, 1858-04-03

remark. These are :-
1. That the only criticism which tells
against the Bill is that which appeals to John
Bull's prejudice—an honest and praiseworthy
prejudice, we admit, but still a prejudice—
against all novelties.
And—

2. That amongst a whole army of acute
critics, not one, as far as we have seen, has
propounded or suggested a plan which the
people of England would prefer to the pre-
sent Bill.
That the present Bill contains some novel.
ties, is unquestionably true ; but equally cer.
tain is it that no measure of a satisfactory
kind can be adopted in this matter which does
not contain something new. The position
—the requirements of the case, are new, and
such as cannot be met by the old, worn-out
provisions of former bills.

The object which is to be attained by this
Bill is an object which no such Bill ever ven•
tured to contemplate before. We have had,
in times past, India Bills which accepted the
existing state of things, and merely aimed at
making some slight improvements. But the
preeent Bill, it is quite decided, is to make a
total change in the system and plan of govern-
ment by which an empire of one hundred and
eighty millions of people, or about one-fifth
part of the human race, is in future to be carried
on. And how is this prodigious object to be
attained, without the use of some things
hitherto untried ? Even in smaller matters,
the man who is to do what no man before him
ever attempted, must not be blamed if he
makes use of means which none of his prede-
cessors ever dreamed of employing. A great
empire has been ruled and administered,
heretofore, by a Board of Directors, elected by
a few thousands of " East India proprietors."

This system, it is now generally agreed, is to
bo destroyed, and a new kind of government,
in the name of the Queen, is to succeed it.
Other important possessions, such as
Canada and Australia, are allowed to govern
themselves, by Assemblies or Legislatures of
their own election. This mode of government
is easily put in motion in such colonies as
these—inasmuch as the population of both
Canada and Australia is predominantly Eng-
lish ; and, so long as solf-government, is freely
granted. it is not likely that any cause
for alienation will arise. But self-government
in India is wholly out of the question. No
statesman has ever hinted at the possibility of

such a thing.
A Government, then, for India has to be
provided in England. The empire has fairly
outgrown its administrators. When the Com-
pany had a million or two of people under its
-authority, its business was conducted by a

The House of Commons had decided, by g
large majority, that it would proceed with some
Bill. The Company was, therefore, virtually
condemned ; its extinction could in no way
be avoided, and to keep it in a state of
suspended animation was clearly not desira-
ble. The Cabinet of Lord DERBY resolved,
therefore, to propose a Bill, but not to take
up Lord PALMERSTON'S, seeing that that mea-
sure had not obtained many suffrages. A
new Bill, consequently, was required to be
framed. And, by common consent, the Go-
vernment of India was in future to be vested
in a President or Secretary of State, and
a Council. In this general outline all parties
seemed to be agreed.
On the rank and power of the President,
or Secretary of State, there could not be much
difference of opinion. The main ground of
controversy was found in the other limb of
the question :

REPULSE OF THE ENEMY FROM ALUMfIAGH.

Major-General Sir James Outram, whose de-
spatches are preceded by one from the Assistant-
Adjutant-General of the Army, by which the corn-
mandet-in•chief communicates his opinion that
Outram's dispositions " appear to have been made
with such forethought as enabled him to inflict con-
siderable loss on the rebels, without unnecessarily
exposing his own troops," writes to the Cl.ief of
the Staff

Camp, Alumbagh, Jan. 12, 185 M.
About sunrise this morning large masses of the enemy
were seen on my left front, and they gradually spread
round the whole front and flanks of the position, ex-
tending from opposite to our left rear outpost to near
Jellalabad, on our right, a distance of at least six miles,
and amounting, at the lowest estimation, to 30,000 men.
As soon as their movements were decidedly in advance,
the brigades—the tight mustering 713, and the left 733
Europeans, and LOU men of the Regiment of Feroze-
pore —were formed in tront of their Aiwa.
The enemy first advanced upon illy left front and
flank, covered by a large body of skirmishers, on which
I detached two regiments of the left brigade to support
the outposts, and extended in skirmishing order on their
flanks, whilst the 3rd Regiment was held in reserve.
At the same time Major Olpherts, with four horse-
battery guns, supported by a detachment of the military
train, was dirwed to check the enemy on my Iv ft rear
where their cavalry showed in the greatest strength
The volunteer and native cavalry were drawn up to pro.
tect the rear of the camp, which at this time appeared
to be threatened.

The right brigade remained on its ground.
The attack was feeble, but was three times renewed
after each defeat, which was easily effected by means
of our superior artillery fire. General Outram, alter
detailing the varied movements of the troops under
his command during tbe day, concludes as follows :
By four o'clock p.m. the whole of the enemy had dis-
appeared, and retired to the city, or to their original
positions in the gardens and villeges in our front.
Nothing could exceed the eagerness of the troops to
come in contact with tbe rebels, nor their disappointment
at their precipitate flight to the cover of their works the
moment the guns opened and our line of skirmishers
advanced.
The artillery made excellent practice on the muses of
the enemy, in reply to the tire from their batteries, which
was maintained on our outposts and Alumbagh with little
intermission.

-THE FIRST AND SECOND REPORTS of the Royal
Commissioners of the Patriotic Fund have been
published in the form of a blur-book. The second
report is dated February 9, 1858. The Patriotic
Futl,l now amounts to 1,453,0451., and since the
conclusion of the Russian war • more liberal pro-
vision has been made for widows and orphans by an
increased scaie of allowances. It has been decided
to endow an institution for the education of :SOU
daughters of soldiers, sailors, and marines, and a
sum of money has been set apart for the establish-
ment of a similar institution for the sons of the
same. The Commissioners have bought the right of
a limited number of presentations to Wellington
Co'lege, the Cambridge Asylum, the Naval and
Military Schools of Portsmouth and Plymouth, and
the Royal Naval Female School. The Commis•
stoners advert to certain charges adduced against
them by the Duke of Norfolk and Archbishop
Cullen. The correspondence on the subject is given
in the appendix to the report. The Commissioners
say that they have entered with reluctance into the
refutation of these painful accusations, but they
think it due to the Queen, the public, and themselves
to repudiate and unequivocally contradict charges
so errrneous, so derogatory, and so calculated to
check the future flow of national benevolence in the
direction of similar charities, by undermining con-
fidence in the integrity of the public bodies to whom
their management may be intrusted. An account
in the appendix shows that the total assets are esti-
mated at 1,384,6281., and the liabilities at. 1,342,115/.,
leaving a surplus balance of 42,5121.

A History. By J. LOTHROL' MOTLEY. A new edition,
revised by the Author.
"All the essentials of a great writer Mr. Motley eminently
possesses. His mind is broad, his industry unwearied. In
power of thematic description, nu modern historian. except
perhaps Mr. Carlyle, surpasses him: and in a”alysis of character
he is elaborate and distinct."— Westminster Review.

" This is an admirable book. . . . The story is a noble
one, and is worthily trested."—Daily News.

him a considerable section of the more ad-
vanced Liberals is the hope of a sweeping
Reform Bill. He has allowed a report to be cir-
culated that such is the nature of the measure
he proposes to introduce. We believe that
it is so. But whether it will ever be carried is
a totally distinct question. But, however this
may be, it is quite evident that ere long the
Premier must renounce the double game he
has been playing so successfully. The sus-
picions of the regular Reformers are fully
aroused; the defection of influential journals
representing the opinions of this party is
marked ; and is a source, we believe, of con-
siderable annoyance to the Government.
Everything indicates that the Premier will be
brought to bay; that the country is weary of
his tricks, and no longer duped by bis preten-
sions. China and India have opened our
eyes to the truth ; and, sooner or later, the
people will demand a Government which,
whatever qualification it may lack, shall posdess
the one virtue of sincerity.

ABOUT THREE HUNDRED OF THE WORKMEN at the
lloyland and Elsecar ironworks, near Barnsley, are
on strike, owing to Messrs. Dawes, the proprietors,
having notified to the men that, in consequence of
the depressed state of the iron trade, a reduction of
wages to the extent of ten per cent. had become im-
perative.
A NEW REFORMATORY SCHOOL, to be used es a
female reformatory and refuge for discharged
prisoners, has been erected at Exeter, and will be
opened shortly for the reception of inmates. Five
hundred pounds only remain to be collected to pay
the whole cost of the institution.

A MEETING OF SCOTCH GRADUATES was held at
Edinburgh on Saturday last, to consider " the asser-
tion of the rights of graduates, and the representa-
tion of the Universities in Parliament." Sir John
M'Neill, G.C.8., presided, and among those on the
platform were Mr. Adam Black, M.P., Mr. Charles
Cowan, M.P., Mr. Buchanan, M.P. (Glasgow), Col.
Mure, of Caldwell ; Professors Aytoun, Blackie,
Fraser, M'Dougall, George Wilson, and Campbell
Swinton, of Edinburgh, dm, and deputations from
the Graduates' Associations of Glasgow, St. Andrew's,
and Aberdeen. The following resolutions wire pro-
posed and carried unanimously :-
1. That it is desirable that the graduates of our Scottish
Universities shall have part in their government, and have
such other privileges conferred on them as may enhance
the value of degrees, and promote a higher education
throughout the country. 2. That the Universities of
Scotland labour under serious disadvantages from the want
of parliamentary representation, and that due representa-
tion ought to be secured to them in any future Reform Bill.
That the franchise should be conferred on graduates,
they being presently so numerous as to form an ample
constituency for the election of representatives. 4. That
it is desirable that there should be a formal recognition of
graduation by the learned professions of the country. 5.
That the resolutions of this meeting be printed and for-
warded to all members of her Majesty's Government, and
t i all members of the House of Commons.
A meeting was also held at Jedburgh last week,
