Them has been received besides, during these ten years, an increase
of about twelve millions of revenue over the preceding ten, making a
total extra expenditure during the period of about 3d millions ; and
yet with this iIICTSMIN, there in a present deficit estimated at 14
equal to between one-ninth and ono-tenth of the whole
revenue.. .

e have already exceeded our limits, but conclude
with the qualifications which seem to please in a
governor-general:
My dear Fir,—When Lord Rardinge determined on convincing
the people of India that we had beaten the Sikhs, by directing a pro-
cession of the captured gum through the provinces to the presi-
dency, one would suppme that he had been resolved to make the
people pay for their il6belief and the trouble of convincing them ;
for in truth they have had to pay to such a fashion u to make them
wlah that the gum were ask on the other aide of the Sutlej rather
' than on this. however, I am disposed to attribute anything but such a
feeling to his lordship, who, if he will condescend taread these few
lines, to which, perhaps, Mr. Editor, you will drive hie notice, will, I
doubt not, be the first to repair his oventght in not providing proper
means of draught for the guns. At the present moment the guns are
crowring the Pone, from the Shaluited Into the Patna district. They
have stuck in the sand, and it will be a work of days, I fear, to get
them all to terra firma, notwithstanding elephants have been sent from
Dinapoor to aid In them. The road in the neighbourhood of
the present locality of guns is deserted by every description of
traveller for fear of being Impressed to poll at them. This is what I
have heard, Mr. Editor, but on good authority. Now 1.111 tell you
what I have seen. For many days past, the bullocks of all, rich and
poor, whether fit for draught or not, have teen seised by the police,
and kept ready for the gum at different stations. Those who used •
little palm-oil promptly have bad no reason to regret having done so,
but those poor devils who had hardly the means of tilling their own

bellies, much less ouch npaciau stomachs as the myrmidons of the
pnVoe have, have been obliged to put up with the lam of their cattle
for days, and the consequence at du. remon of the year will be, that
in many eases they will be utterly ruined. It to true that the govern-
ment will pay them 4 as. per diem for each Maio& while halting, and
8 ans. when marching; but what is hat, Mr. Editor, to a poor agri-
eulturlat compared with the service. abb.:aide Lord flardinge little
knows of the raillery and oppression that theme gum, merely for want of
having government rattle to drag them, have caused all along the line
of march, and how beatify the poor lament the evil day oo which they
were entered to be paraded through the provinces. What is done can-
not be now undone; but let his lordship lore not an hour in iseuing
orders to theoommimariat to purchase, at any coat, a ruflicient num-
ber or bullock., horses, or elephants, to drag the puts the remainder
of the way to Calcutta, and thus obviate their being a curse to the
population Of the Mita thrOoln which they have yet to proceed. For
TOLL/ own addiction, Mr. Editor, 1 give you my male and addrelL—

ens and Cavendish being last of all except Chronometer. Chronome-
ter soon began to draw forwent and with this exception there was no
great variation is going round the c..urse the first time, and coming
again opposite the stand, Standard Guard still leading, closely fol-
lowed by lot-joint, Glaueus and Boakreper bringing op the rear.
Alice Grey, however, who had been nearly thrown down, was some
distance behind them. Standard Guard still continued his lead
till coming to the fence leading from the course into
the me.alows, which he was first over, but almost at
the same moment Chronometer rushed at the fence, and

went lathe beat with the rapidity of • shot. Ile did not, hover
*MOM, eastatan his place, Tom Brown immediately after tub,
the lead, which he oictinued up to the last fence previous to
entering the course at the end, which he came up to with a lead of
Or Mr lengths, but, unfortunately, his rider mistook the only leg
lathe hedge, a right-hand one, and paned on the left side of it in -IthrM
of the right. Ile 11.1 A, therefore, obliged to give up bin great ulnas
Owe, and retrace his erring steps. In turning round, after re-oneme-
tag the fence, he came into collision with Forret Boy, who wait then
about sixth or seventh. and both lostsome littleground in conerquenee,
though neither fell. This mishap left the lead with Chandler, with
Standard Guard ercond, Sabine, Daddy Longhair Chronometer, St.
Ruth, and Forest Boy following. Chandler continued the head along
the edge of the river, over the artificial fence, and up the hurdles at
the end of the prow and rails leading to the artificial brook. Here
Standard Guard resumed the lead, was first over the brook by two or
three lengths, followed by Daddy Longtime, Sports, Chandler,
and Sabine, all well up. After them caine Chronometer, blaucus,
Jerry, et. Ruth, Rough-and. Ready, Lktvendish, and Beekeeper,
the latter going apparently straight at the fence, but, changing
hie mind at the tat moment, he jumped among the crowd
on the right hand, fortunately without doing any writ)us
harm, and thus ended the rate as far as he was concerned.
Among the Lot were Alice Gray, Hot-joint (who seemed not
ealy d ire, but overdone), and Tom Brown, the distance between
the first and Last being very coneiderabk. Standard Guard main-
tained his lead round the corner end of the course the second
time, again into the meadows end an tar as the fence to pond, followed
by Chandler and Duddy Longlege. At the next fence Chronometer
to* the right of the Sag and was obliged to return. Here, too, Tom
Brows unfortunately fell into the next field, and in roiling over broke
his back. From this point Chandler took up the front position, leaving
the second and third place. to Standard Guard and Daddy, and making
the pace very good. The Glencoe gelding, who had hitherto been
Nah.thfithar • mecleu place, bream to draw to the front, and at the
same time Si, Ruth mended hie position, and had a promising look.
At the next fence but one, however, he and Sabine, jumping together
at the same gap, came Into collinear in the air, and both fell into the
next field. The race wan now not only over with them, but with all
the °there, except Chandler, Daddy Longlegs, Glam., and Standard
Guard, for at the next fence Jerry went on the left hand of the flag,
when, of couree, the pace wan too good and the time too (Mort to
rapair euth an error. At the next, Ahoe Gray and Hot-joint
both fell, both an much behind that their chance was not a bit
the worse for it, and here Spartan and Cavendish gave up;
Chandler came first into the course, with Daddy Longterm
second, Glaucue third, Standard Guard fourth ; the only hones who
now continued running breidea them being Chronometer, Foreaboy,
and Rough-and-Ready. As MOIL as he were in the course Glacoserent

to the second place, but could never get within any such distance of
Chandler, the latter winning mealy by three or four length', Daddy
Longlegs beaten about a couple of lengths by Gismos; next came Stan-
dard Guard, Forest Boy, Chronometer, and Bough-and-Ready, but
without being n ally in the race ; these ere all that pawed the poet.
