LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 2, 1849.

His Excellency the Commander•in-Chief Lord
GOUGH, one of the most lion-hearted veterans in the
British army, has more than fulfilled our expectations.
He has obliterated all recollection of his reverse
at Ramnuggur, and of his deplorable success at
Chillianwallah, by his splendid and triumphant
victory over the Seikh forces on the 21st of February
The reputation of Lord GOUGH as a soldier will be
materially enhanced by his recent proceedings in the
Punjaub, and his future biographer will have to
enumerate as among the most brilliant of his heroic
achievements the triumph of his army over the com-
bined strength of the Rajas of Northern India in the
great battle of Goojerat.
We are satisfied that no Englishman will do other-
wise than rejoice in the advantages gained over his
antagonists by the veteran victor of Goojerat. Even
those who inveighed the most bitterly against Lord
GouGii—amongst whom we are gratified to remember
that we cannot be enumerated—will not hesitate to
bestow upon him that meed of applause to which he
is eminently entitled. The recollection of many a
" well-foughten field" will be revived by the news of
the final route of the rebels between the banks of the
Chenab and the Jhelum ; and Lord Goucii will hence-
forth be only remembered as having been twice
the Conqueror of the Seikhs, the most warlike and,
in every respect, the most formidable of all the native
races of Hindostan. The period during which the
British•lndian army was commanded by the Baron
of Sobraon, and during which the Asiatic empire of
England was governed by the Earl of DALUOUSIE,
will be memorable as the time when the last of the
great provinces of India was brought within the im-
mediate boundary of our dominions—when the Pun-
jaub was finally annexed to the enormous territories
already subservient to our authority.
Since the date of the last Overland Mail
from Bombay, the Commander-in-Chief appears
to have displayed a caution and forethought for which
few were disposed to have given him credit, and
which was probably forced upon him unwillingly by
the remembrances of his recent perils and difficul-
ties. The attitude preserved by Lord GOUGH up to
the 21st of February was strictly defensive. He
was resolved not to hazard a single movement to-
wards an encounter before his army had been
strengthened by the arrival of the Bombay column,
under Brigadier DUNDAS, and of the Bengal
division commanded by General Wuisu. Mean-
while the enemy seems to have striven by every
device to lure its antagonists into a precipitate assault,
conscious that a terrific slaughter must inevitably
ensue among the English in consequence of the almost
impregnable character of the ground occupied by the
insurgents. Between the 6th and the 12th nume-
rous skirmishes took place, but no decisive encounter
on the side of the Jhelum near the village of
Chillianwallah. Finding it impossible to goad
Lord GOUGH into an attack, either by taking
up a position to the right, so as to threaten
an outflanking movement, or by perpetually
harassing the grass cutters and camp followers
surrounding the adjacent encampment SHEJLE
SINGH had by the 13th removed the heavy artillery
from his entrenchments at Russool, had drawn up
his cavalry in the vil age of Coira, and had marched
directly towards Goojerat. It was upon this change in
the position of the belligerents occurring that the
English were first enabled ,to examine at leisure the
nature of the ground upon which the last disastrous
conflict had taken place. It was then detected that
the position so long occupied by the Seikhs was one
of enormous strength—the double line of entrench•
ments being defended in front by umbrageous
hickets large enough to screen the defenders,

and to impede the cavalry of the assailants. The
whole was situated on the slope of an accli-
vity, with a battery raised in the broken
ground—a steep and intricate ravine in one direction
—and in the rear, near the river, a wall of rock
almost perpendicular. Having inspected the arena
of his last encounter with the rebels, Lord Gouou
proceeded to Supooree and onwards to Sudalpoor,
the enemy having advanced in the direction of Goo-
ierat as far as Needun and Chimbur. Shortly

afterwards SHERE SINGH was joined
.by the insur-
gent troops under his father, CHUTTUR SINGH;
and Lord Govan received the important re-
inforcements of the divisions respectively con-
ducted by General Wrnsu and Brigadier
DUNDAS. Such being the accumulated power of the
belligerent armies, they gave each other battle on the
21st of February, in the neighbourhood of Goojerat
—a date and a locality which will not be very speedily
forgotten, seeing that they were signalised by the
complete overthrow of the leaders of the Seikh rebel-
lion, by the total rout of their forces, by a victory,
in short,-so complete and overwhelming that the
standing camp, the guns and the ammunition of the
vanquished, were left in the possession of the con-
querors as trophies of their valour and as testimonies
of the total destruction of the powers of their oppo-
nents.
No details whatever. have yet been received from
the field of battle, seeing that the messenger with the
brief notification of the triumph of our soldiers had
only just reached Bombay in time to forward this
brief but satisfactory announcement by the Overland
Mail to England, adding to the intelligence that at
the moment of his departure from Goojerat—a place
situated nearly half-way between the Jhelum and the
BritishChTenhaeb—fotheessfo

there is surely little enough remaining to be done for
the completion of the campaign. In the hour of via.
tory we cannot but mourn the loss of those brave
men who fell in the preliminary struggle, . with the
• j 4.9.00 of great disasters alone ringing in their ears, we

cannot but call to mind those heroic soldiers who
would have exulted in the great battle of Goojerat—
CURETON, and PENNYCUICX, and HAVELOCK, and

POPE, and CHRISTIE.
Events have recently verified the remarks made by
the Duke of WELLINGTON and Sir Jons Cast HOE-
HOUSE to the effect, that the state of affairs in the
Punjaub was far from bearing the aspect of a great
and perilous emergency. With a profound confidence
in the force of our arms in Ilindostan—a force which
has been continually justified from the Battle of
Plassy to the Battle of Goojerat—the Commander of
the Forces and the President of the Board of Control
foresaw that signal triumph with which the gallant
old warrior GOUGH will now terminate his career as
a Captain, and clear the path of all difficulties before
the arrival of his illustrious successor. We are re-
joiced to think that a long and heroic career has not
been marred by untimely reverses, and that instead of
returning with a venerable but tarnished reputation,
Lord Gouon will reach the shores of Eugland enve-
loped in the renown of Goojerat.

A general feeling appears to prevail that the Right
Hon. Baronet, the Member for Tamworth, has at
length discovered the true solution of the Irish pro-
blem. Half measures will no longer suffice. There
is something radically defective in the social condi•
tion of Ireland, and means must be adopted ade-
quate to the emergency. The first great want of
Ireland is full and constant employlient for its
labouring population. The industrial resources
of the island must be completely developed.
There is, perhaps, no other country in the world that
possesses more favourable channels for the beneficial
employment of labour. Mines of wealth exist in
every quarter; all that is required is that due ad-
vantage should be taken thereof; that they should
not be suffered to remain dormant and unproductive.
There is no lack of the only real capital—that which
lies in the thews and sinews of the
working men. Labour unfortunately is a mere
drug in the market. Thousands and tens of thou-
sands of persons, able and willing to work, drag on a
miserable existence, obtaining barely sufficient to
keep life and soul together; and yet those very per-
sons, who are burdens on the national resources
might under a more judicious system become the•
creators and producers of national wealth. The ma-
chinery is perfect, the motive power alone is wanting,
and to supply that power, to bring the various ,
springs and wheels into harmonious working, is the
great desideratum.
Great and comprehensive enactments are required
for that purpose. The nation is placed on the verge
of a precipice, and it cannot be rescued from destruc-
tion, save by a magnanimous disregard of common
rules and principles, which, although the best that
could be framed in an ordinary state of society, are by
no means suited to the magnitude of the emergency.
The remedy, in fact, must be suited to the disease.
The social condition of the country has been well de-
scribed in the first "Report on Irish Poor-laws" in
1836. It says—
" Ireland is now suffering under a circle of evils, pro-
ducing and reproducing one another. Want of capital
produces want of employment—want of employment,
turbulence and misery—turbulence and misery, inse-
curity—insecurity prevents the introduction of capital—
and so on. Until this circle is broken the evils must con-

tinue, and probably augment. The first thing to be done
is to give security that will produce or invite capital—
and capital will give employment."
This is, unfortunately, but too true a picture. The
insecurity at present arises, however, more from the
enormous burdens that are placed on the land, than
from the turbulence of the inhabitants, and it is not
merely the actual amount to be liquidated, large as
it undoubtedly is, that occasions the mischief,
but the fear that the worst has not as yet
been encountered, and that additional charges

may be imposed—charges sufficient to absorb
the entire productions of the soil, and to leave
nothing whatever to satisfy the claims of the land-
lords fur rent, or to reward the industry of the
tenants. This is the great evil to be remedied.
Satisfy capitali.ts that they shall receive fair returns
for their investments, and you will speedily find
capital flowing into a land that offers so many in-
ducements.

Sir ROBERT PEET, has now discovered that nothing
of permanent utility can be done for the country
until it receives the blessings of a solvent pro-
prietary, qualified to discharge the duties in-
cidental to the possession of property. He
proposes, in fact, to get rid of those nominal
owners who, without any real advantage to them-
selves, clog and impede the industry of the people.
New blood must be infused into the nation, and, with
all regard for the rights of property, it is both just
and expedient to compel those who cannot act bene-
ficially either for themselves or their tenantries
to dispose of their lands to others, who may
have both the ability and the will to ex-
tract the latent treasures from the soil, to bring
it into a condition of the highest fertility and pro-
ductiveness. This may be called confiscation, but if
so, it is a necessary and an equitable confiscation—a
confiscation which will be no less beneficial to the
ejected proprietors than to the community in general.
Although they may entertain a national feeling of re-
gret at the loss of estates that have descended through
many generations in their families, they will become
infinitely happier when in the unincumbered posses-
sion of even a small surplus, than they had been when
heavily embarrassed with constant demands which
they were unable to satisfy, and witnessing the misery
and sufferings of their wretched dependents, suffer-
ings which they were wholly unable to mitigate or
alleviate.

We may take some credit to ourselves for
having long since pointed out the ab-
solute necessity for such a change. More
than two years since we spoke of the enormous

incumbrances affecting the owners of Irish estates, as

the monster grievance of Ireland, and suggested re-
medies analogous to those now proposed by Sir
ROBERT PEEL. On the 2d February, 1847, we
said—
"Perhaps among the many causes that have contri-
butediew haveto h

that
result than the embarrassment and pecuniary difficulties
of the proprietors of the soil, coupled with the strict
areetatlileyments and entails, and the other laws by which the
free disposal and transfer of property in land was fet-
tered andt

o owner; restrained.

the
property was not
in that capacity. The nominal owner of extensive districts
and wide-spread domains had a large and showy
rent-roll, but, in reality, a small income. He was
little better than the agent, the trustee of others."
And again, in the same impression, we added :
" What then is the remedy to be adopted ? what
palliative can be found by which the disease may be
removed or even mitigated ? Simply this—
that every facility should be given to the free
transfer of land, that so much as may be necessary to
satisfy the encumbrances affecting it should as speedily
as possible be brought to the hammer. Make it an
article of free sale, and reduce the expenses of transfer
to a reasonable and moderate amount. Simplify the law
relating to real property, and make such arrange-
ments as will give full security of title.
Cut off entails and settlements, or at least let them
affect the purchase-money in place of the land itself.
That purchase-money may be placed in the funds or on
other good and sufficient securities, and subjected to the
trusts that theretofore applied to the land. The
greatest blessing that can be conferred upon
a nation a solvent and unembarrassed proprie-
tary will be obtained. If the land could
be conveyed, and a good and perfect title assured to
the purchasers, there are numbers of persons with
sufficient capital ready to bid for all that may be
brought into the market. The supply cannot exceed
the demand so as unduly to depress the commodity.
Even the unencumbered proprietor will frequently find
it his interest to sell a part to improve the rest of his
property, and the soil of the country will pass into
the hands of those who have the capital and ability
to manage it with the greatest advantage to them-
selves and to their country."
Such were our views in the beginning of the year
1847, and time has tested their propriety, and we
have at length the satisfaction of finding them recog-
nised and adopted by the statesman who proposed the
emancipation of his Roman Catholic fellow-subjects,
and who obtained the legislative sanction to the
glorious doctrines of Free Trade.

DEATH or MRS. KERN.—We deeply regret having
to announce the demise of Mrs. Kean, relict of the late
Edmund Kean, Esq. Mrs. Kean expired after a long
and painful illness, on Friday last, at the country resi •
dence :of her son, Mr. Charles Kean, Keydell, near
Southampton.
THE COURT.—Her Majesty and his Royal High-
ness Prince Albert, and the youthful members of the
Royal Family, according to present arrangements, leave
Buckingham Palace on Wednesday afternoon, for
Windsor Castle, where the Queen will remain a fort-
night for the Easter holidays, during which her Majesty
will receive a SUCCO3SiOII of illustrious visitors.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a moderate demand for Cotton at Liverpool
on Saturday, and the market closed firmly at previous. I
rates. The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales, and
comprised about 5,000 American at 34d. to 6id., IGO
Bahia at sd. to 54d., and 300 Surat at 34-d. to 34d. per
lb.—ln Railway Shares a fair business was done.
There is a large number of ship arrivals to-day, but
the date of the accounts which they bring is generally
not so late. We observe that there is specie on botard
some of the vessels, and, among others, from the Cape if
Good Hope.
The market for wheat has been steady at about 'tast
Monday's prices, except as regards inferior foreign,
which may be quoted rather lower. Oats have been. Is.
to 2s. cheaper, owing to the large arrivals.
Private letters received this morning by the Ham-
burgh mail state that although there had been no
official announcement on the subject, it was the confident
impression, in well-informed quarters, that peace would
be concluded between Denmark and Germany. The
rate of exchange at Hamburgh was 13 84, and the price
of gold 437.
The following is part of a statement upon the Staf-
fordshire iron trace furnished in Aris' Birmingham
Gazette :
" The preliminary meeting of the South Staffordshire
district was held at Dudley on Thursday last, and most
numerously attended, scarcely one house recognised as
belonging to the meeting being without its representa-
tive. A very full and impartial discussion of the posi-
tion and prospects of the trade ended in the gratitying
result of an unanimous determination to uphold the ad-
vance of 20s. per ton partially declared in February last.
The puddlers and other workmen engaged its the im-
mediate manufacturing of iron will also participate
in the improvement. It was decided to advance the
wages of the former sixpence per ton. We are happy
to learn that there is every disposition among the Lon-
don dealers and large purchasers generally to do busi-
ness upon these terms. The Shropshire trade also
coincide in the advance, and it will be determinedly
carried out in the transactions of the ensuing quar-
terly meetings. Indeed, with the high prices of pig-
iron, and the rate of wages now to be
paid, it is no longer a matter of option, if
any, even the smallest remuneration for risk and capital
is to be obtained. The tone of business has also become
more lively since the decision of the meeting has been
known, confidence and activity are reviving, and we
think there is every reason to anticipate the full usual
amount of
-business in store for our local meetings, which
will take place on the customary days of' next week,
the first being at Walsall on Tuesday the 10th inst."
Messrs. Alslslair, Greeuhow, and Co., of Manchester,
write as follows:
" Prices generally have undergone a material decline
as respects the value of certain deteriptious of both dab
and twist. The tendency is still downwards, prices
becoming very irregular, arising from the continued
existence.of old contracts and the disposition of spinners
and manufacturers who are disengaged either to effect
sales or to enter into new arrangements. Stocks so far
have but in very few instances commenced to accumu •
late; and though the aggregate transactions of the
month are large, they must be considered chiefly as the
results of previous contracts, as purchases" made during
the month have been limited to existing wants, in expec-
tation of declining prices."
In the Bengal Hurharu. of February 23d, there is a
curious paragraph stating that Shere Singh had re-
treated, without the loss of a single man, across the
Jhelum. The editor concludes thus:—" We have every
reason to rely upon the correctness of the information
which we now communicate."
The mercantile advices from India are very favourable,
and the imports of goods were not large. -
The Amsterdam Bourse on Saturday, was in a more
favourable position for home stock, and Mexican also
were in more request.
At Frankfort, on the 29th of March, the Austrian
Funds were supported, but there was not much doing in
other securities.
The English Funds have been extremely animated,
and the improvement upon Saturday's prices has been
per cent., although there has been some fluctuation,
and the rise is not maintained at the time of our writing.
The very favourable news from India, the announcement
that the revenue returns will show an increase of in-
come, and a surplus on the year, compared with the
expenditure, and the hope expressed that the
renewed Danish armistice will result in peace,
have all tended to inspire confidence, and to discourage
further 6peculation for a fall. Consols have touched
934 i for. Transfer, and 934- 4 for. Account ; the later
transactions having been, however, at 924 too and 924 to
924. Exchequer-bills have been 41s. to 445., and India
Bonds Ms. premium.
In the Foreign Stock Market there has been a good
deal done in Mexican Stock, though up to the present
time there have been conflicting rumours as to the
nature of the correspondence received, some parties
affirming upon hearsay that it will be good, while
others, who profess to be equally well informed, maintain
the reverse. The Committee of Spanish American
Bondholders will not publish the letters until after
Stock Exchange hours, as they have the requisite
copies to make. Mexican Stock has been 304 to 311 8.

Railway Shares generally are better, being favourably
influenced by the Funds. In some lines there is a de-
cided improvement.

CITY, THREE O'CLOCK.

We have just seen the Mexican correspondence,
which we have only time to sum up. Messrs. Manning
and Mackintosh, under date of February 12,
state that they were not aware whether the
Calypso had on board any amount fur the
dividends, and that the Mexican Government had
ordered 97 per cent., instead of 71 per cent.,
of the Six per Cent. Export Duty to be
applied for the bondholders. For the cotton
licenses Messrs. Manning have not yet been able to meet
with purchasers, as the duty on the article has been re-
duced, and may be more so yet, in which case possibly
the Government may grant some indemnity.
For the 500,000 dollars of the indemnity money the
Government will appropriate to its own use an equal
ln'ehet
atlatest.
i nd em nit y money is expected to

The payments from the tobacco monopoly were to
commence in last mouth (March).

In January the duties did not exceed 60,000 dollars,
and Mr. Glass, at Tampico, had already paid the Mexi-
can Government in cash and bills 64,809 dollars.
Mr. Robertson was at Vera Cruz on February 10.

MARKET NEWs-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHAN GE-MONDAY.

Last week's arrivals of English Wheat, from our mar-
ket, coastwise as well as by lend carriage, were ex-
tremely small, and of very middling quality. The re-
ceipts of all other articles of horse produce were trifling.
No supplies reached us from Ireland ; and those from
Scotland were confined to a few cargoes of Oats. The
foreign imports were heavy, viz., 25,641 quarters of
Wheat ; 22.232 do. of Barley ; 71,421 do. of Oats ;
2,133 do. of nye; 1,447 do. of Beans; 1,428 do. of Peas;
290 do. of Tares ; 1,502 do. of Linseed; 90 do. of Mus-
tard-seed ; 76 do. of sundry seeds ; 1,786 sacks and 30
barrels of Flour. Since the above returns were made
up, several cargoes of Wheat, Barley, and Oats have
come to hand ; and the change in the wind is cal-
culated to bring into port a large number of grain
vessels from the Black and Mediterranean Seas.
The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up this
morning, was again very moderate, and in middling and
inferior condition. The attendance of buyers was larger
than for some time past, hence the demand for the
finest samples of both red and white home-grown Wheats
was steady, at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, the
prices paid on this day se'nnight. The middling kinds
met a slow inquiry, yet last week's quotations were
mostly supported. At the close of the market a fair
clearance of the stands had been effected. Although the
imports of Foreign Wheat since this day week have been
good, the actual supply of that article on offer to .day,
was not to say extensive. Selected qualities of both red
and white were in moderate request at full rates of cur-
rency. The out-of-condition samples were a dull sale,
and prices ruled the turn in favour of the buyers.
Floating cargoes of Wheat, Birley, and Oats were freely
offered by the importers. The bu-iness doing on board
was comparatively small; consequently the bulk of the
supplies will be lauded here. With English Barley we
were scantily supplied; but the quantity of foreign was
extensive. Fine malting samples were scarce, and in
steady request at full currencies. Grinding and distilling
parcels were heavy, yet we cannot call them cheaper.
Notwithstanding that the quantity of Malt ready for
delivery was small, that article was dull in sale, and late
prices were with difficulty supported. For forward de•
livery, very few transactions took place. Several larger
parcels of the late imports of foreign Oats having
been disposed of last week, the supply of
that gra'n here this morning was not
so great as would otherwise have been the case. The
leading dealers are still short of stock, yet the trade was
is a very sluggish state, and the prices of the best sam-
ples receded Is; of the inferior kinds 2s per qr, leaving
a portion of the supply unsold. The sale for Beans was
heavy. In prices, however, no change took place.
Peas moved off slowly, at about last week's quotations.
•I'he supply was very moderate. Indian Corn and Meal
commanded scarcely any attention. Holders, however,
refused to submit to lower terms. The Flour trade was
in a very inactive state. Fine qualities were unaltered,
but interior parcels were lower to purchase.
