TELEGRAM FROM INDIA.

Colonel FRENCH laid he understood that govertunent
had recelred a telegram from India stating that Laolmow
bad been reared. Perhaps the noble Iced (Palmenton)
would nab whether that was so.

Lied PALIILERt3TON—In sonar to the welkin of my
boa. sad gallant friend I beg to stab that a telegram has
berm received. The news did not come by the ordinary bet-
nightly mail, but by a vessel which led Calcutta a week later
than the lest accounts. The statement is that two convoys
of proviskas bad reached Lacknow, that there bad been •
good deal of fighting, and that Sir James Outrun had been
wounded. I cannot help suspecting that it is a re-echo of
what we had before, when it was Mated that a convoy of pro-
visiona had reached not Luckoow bat Alumbagh ; and we
had heard before that Sir James Outran had been wounded.
The bogie than adjourned at a quarter pelt eight o'clock.

second annual meeting of this company was held=
et Gresham House, Old Broad -street. Sir T. H.
one of the directors, in the chair. The report stated that
they were unable to show any profit} though they had made
a profit equal to three per not., which would come into the
next year's account. The tiro coal contract had been com-
pleted, and the company were working on the second. In
June hat the directors made a call of 21. per share, whkh,
owing to the disturbed state of India, where many share-
holders lived, they had not been able to give
' them proper notice, and had not therefore treated
their shares ea forfeited. In reply to a shareholder
the chairman maid the oasis act the company 14e.
per toil delivered in Calcutta, and their contract price
was 26e. per ton. Mr. Beale, a shaniholder, objected to the
report as indefinite. Mr. Brown mid he hid 2,0001. worth
of shares, upon which he waa told there would be no more
calla, and as he was required to pay further calls, he refuted
