MR. JAMES'S NEW ROMANCE.
IV HE CASTLE OF EHRENSTEIN ; its
111_ Lords, Spiritual and Temporal ; its Inhabitants, Earthly and
Unearthly, is another, though altogether different, " Castle of

time.

(From the Bombay Times of Jan. 15.)
THE PUNJAUB.
The very important treaty betwixt the Governor-General
and the Lahore Government reached us so close on the hour
of going to press with our last, that we were scarce left leisure
to peruse, much less to discuss it; and an outline of its con-
tents may now give our readers a more exact idea of its
spirit and objects than they would derive from the document
itself. When it was found that the indemnity demanded by
us, to meet the charges of the war the Sikh armies bad
begun, could not be provided from the Lahore treasury,
Ghoolab Singh undertook to make good the defective balance
on having Cashmere handed over to him, he himself to be
raised to the rank of an independent chief, under the title of
Maharaja. We, being parties Ito these, undertook of course
to see the terms stipulated fulfill d, and as we had received
the price of Cashmere, to see the purchase made over from
one Seikh Government to another. Sheikh Emaum-ood-
Deen, with a considerable body of insurgents, having for a
time resisted this cession, a body of troops was ordered to the
frontier; when the insurgent chief, on coming to terms, dis-
closed the fact that he had all along been acting under in-
structions from the Wuzeer Lall Singh, and obtained from us
the pledge, that if the accuracy of his allegations on those
points should be established to our satisfaction, he should be
relieved from the consequences of that which, while believed
to be a rebellion, was nothing else than a rising by order of
authority. The facts, as set forth, were established by public
investigation ; the durbar, as represented by Lall Singh,
had bfoken faith with us; and had we so chosen it, we
might have held the unappropriated residue of Dhu-
Jeep Singh's dominions forfeited to our hands. The
treachery seemed to have been confined to an individual,
and it was determined that so should be the punishment.
The Governor-General consented to accept of the deposition
of the Wuzeer for conduct in the consequences of which, had
he so chosen it, the whole Government might have been in-
volved. Now came the period for the retirement of our
troops, when as yet the durbar found itself utterly unable to
discharge satisfactorily the duties expected to be performed
by it. The services of a portion of our troops having been
solicited, they were promised, on the condition that we should
be intrusted with the civil W gorernent of the country during
the minority of the Maharaja, or till the 4th of September,
1854. The troops were to occupy Lahore, and any other
stations that might be considered expedient—in reality, it
has been already determined to push on an outpost to Pesha-
wur; 220,0001. to be paid annually to meet the expenses of
the army. The departments of Government, in charge of
Seikh officers, were all to be under the direction and con-
trol of our resident, Colonel Lawrence. This is the first oc-
casion on which the Government of India, in assisting a na-
tive power. has shown as much consideration for the welfare
of the people as for the authority of their rulers; and when,
in placing arms in their hands, we have taken care to pre-
' vent their being used for the purposes of tyranny
and oppression. The Maharaja and his Court having
proceeded to meet the Governor-General, the in-
terview where the treaty was ratified occurred at Bhairoowal
on the 22d of December. The spectacle was an august and
imposing one. On Christmas-day the Seikh chiefs were all
received in open durbar—the Maharaja himself the follow-
ing day. There sat the Governor-General and Commander-
in-Chief on the one hand, covered with decorations, with the
most brilliant uniforms of the British army beside them. On
their right were the majestic forms, the splendid dresses, and
fierce visages of the most turbulent members of the Seikh
cabinet. The Governor-General addressed the assembled
multitude on the matters which had just occupied them, his
speech being. interpreted to the Seikhs. On the 27th he
crossed the river, and proceeded on his way to Umritsur, from
whence he was to proceed to Lahore, where he was expected
about New Year's-day, to return the visit of the young
Prince. The Queen-Mother seems, at length, to have ac-
quiesced in the arrangements, to which at first she was
averse. She accompanied her son to near the conclusion of
the journey, and waited to attend him on his return. Four
Seikh corps, with other troops, are to form a frontier brigade
at Peshawur, where Captain Lawrence is expected to have
command. Recruiting for these is proceeding with spirit and
activity. These tidings, anticipated in part, and trifling al.
together, as they are, furnish all we have in the shape of in-
telligence from 'the north-west. The Delhi Gazette, of the
6th inst., reached us at nine o'clock last night, from which
we copy the following intelligence, being the latest received
from Lahore :
" We have nothing of any importance to communicate
from Lahore since our last. No serious apprehensions seem
to be entertained for the safety of Lieutenant Lumsden in
quarters on which we may safely place reliance, and the
instant extinction of a small emeute at the conclusion of the
Mohurrum, which was got up outside the walls, amongst the
small number of Mussulmans of the town and of the British
garrison, proves how completely the spirit of good order has
imbued the whole population. In our supplement, which
contains several orders of interest, will be found one bearing
testimony, and a most jnst one, to the good conduct of our
troops while in garrison at Lahore. The Governor-General
could not have spoken too warmly in their praise. We learn
that Major- General Littler retains the command of the
Punjaub division, and will not, therefore, go to Cawnpoor, as
previously arranged, the Government having acceded to his
reasonable request to be allowed to select a Jullundur station
for his place of .`pgrmanent residence. It is 'Understood that
hi will fix his held-quarters at Hooshearpoor, but, that will
depend, we presume, on the final arrangement of tations
whichlriay be made by Government after the inspection now-
in progress by the Commander-in-Chief. The Court of
Lahoie were busy in preparations for the reception of the
Governor-General, and the garrison in 4rangements for
their return to the provinces. ller Majesty's 90th Foot,
the Artillery (Horse, we presume) and the 68th Native
Infantry, will he the first to leave. The Governor-General
would make his entree on the day appointed in great state.
The arrival of the Ferozepoor troops will have swelled his
cortiye very largely. A correspondent says, in reference to
our use of the term novel in respect to the arrangements
lately made for the future government of the Punjaub, tbat
we have the example of the Nagpoor state already before
us, where the same measures as those contemplated for La-
hore were adopted under the superintendence of Sir Richard
(then Mr.) Jenkins. The allusion is correct in moat re-
spects, and the experiment then made is, from the success
which attended it, fully deserving of being carried out, as far
as may be practicable, in the Punjaub; for the Raja of Nag-
poor is, as our friend justly remarks, oneof the few sovereigns
of any consequence of whom we hear nothing—which means
that he is in all respects a peaceable and well-affected ally,
giving us no trouble, and governing his people in a highly
creditable manner. The only difference of any consequence
between the affairs of the Nagpoor state, on the formal depo-
sition of Appa Saheb, and the elevation of the reigning Raja
to the throne, and those of the Punjaub at the present mo-
ment, is that the mother of Bajee Rao, a daughter of Ragoj e
Bhonslab, was invested with the regency, which has very
properly not been the case in the late arrangements, on ac-
count of the disgust which the conduct of the mother of
Dhuleep Singh has created in the Seikhs. It must have been
bad indeed to have had such an effect on a people of notori-
ously lax morality. We are told by Mr. Jenkins, in his
re-
port on the territories of the Raja of Nagpoor, published some
twenty years ago in Calcutta, that, under the system which
was adopted, the principality progressively improved in re-
sources and prosperity until its final restoration to the Raja,
It is to be hoped that the result will be equally favourable to
Maharaja Dhuleep Singh."

CAMBRIDGE CHANCELLORSHIP.
CLARE HALL, Fan. 22, 1817.
The Master of Clare Hall has seat to the Committee appointed for
promoting the election of Prince Albert, the following letter, of
which the Committee for promoting the election of the Earl Powis
may make what use they think proper :—" The Master of Clare
Hall, considering from the answer of Prince Albert to the address of
many members of the Aesate, to allow himself to be proposed for
election into the vacant office of Chancellor, that he has declined to
de so, and that the proposing his Royal Highness as a candidate is
putting the members of the Senate into a most delicate and painftl
situation, by exciting a contest, requests that his name may be
withdrawn from the names alma the Committee."
Committee-room, British Hotel, Cockspur-street, Feb. 22,1847.

CAMBRIDGE CHANCELLORSHIP.
The unexpected detormination announced in the daily papers

'FRE COMMITTEE for CONDUCTING the
ELECTION of the EARL OF FONYIS to the Chancellorship
of the University of Cambridge beg to submit the following STATE-
MENT to the Members of the Senate :
When by the lamented death of the late Chancellor it became ne-
cessary to con-ider the appointment of a successor, it was deemed
desirable to bring forward such a candidate as might be 'apposed to
be most acceptable to the general body of the Senate, and to repre-
sent the opinions of the majority of its members.
The interestwhich the Earl of Powis had uniformly displayed in all
that concerns the University, and the acquaintance which by his
education and subsequent connexion with it he had maintained with
oar academic institutions—the independence of his character and
position—the zeal and energy whteh he has exhibited in forwarding
the interests of the Church, and his able and effectual support of her
claims, naturally directed the attention of many members of the Viii-
varsity to this nobleman, and steps were immediately taken to obtain
his Lordship's consent to he put in nomination for the high office of
Chancellor.
The Earl of FOOD at once accedol to the reVest, and the favour-
able manner in which his Lordship's naam has been received assures
this ecmtnittoe that the same considerations which led to the first in-
vitation to Lord Fowls will secure the warm and hearty support of
all who feel how Important it is to the University that their Chancel-
lor should posecee those qualities for which the Earl of Pettis is so
eminently distinguished.
The ELECTION will take pleas in the Senate House, on Tanis-
DAT, Feb. 25, at Ten e'cleck A M.
The Committee trust that the non-resident members of the Monate
will be prepared to give their votes for Lord Fowls, in ease of an
opposition.
Arrangements will be made for the accommodation and sonvey-
&nee of nen-resident voters.
The Committee sit daily, at Mr. lilliott Smith's Rooms, Trinity-
street.
Communications may De addreseell to the Rev. R. Williams, of
hug's College; or to the Rev. F. France, Honorary Seeretary.
Signed In behalf of the Committee,

SINDE.
We have letters from officers in various parts of Sinde,
coming down to the 7th inst. They give little or no news,
but convey nearly all we possess from the banks of the Indus.
We formerly intimated the general nature of the movements
intended to take place among the troops: a general order
has just been issued, directing the return to India of two
European and five native infantry regiments, with the 3d
Cavalry, and nearly the whole of the artillery—in all about
seven thousand men. The following are the particulars :-
3d Regiment Light Cavalry—From Shikarpoor to Bombay
and Shoolapoor, about Feb. 20, 184% Ist company, Ist
battalion, Artillery—From Kurrachee to Bombay and Ah-
mednuggur, about Feb. 1, 1847. 4th company, Ist bat-
talion, Artillery—From Kurrachee to Bombay and Shoola-
poor, about Feb. 10, 1847. Ist company, 2d battalion, Ar-
tillery—From Kurrachee to Vingorla and Koolapoor, about
Feb. 10, 1847. Sd company. 2d battalion, Artillery—From
Kurrachee to Bombay and Ahmednuggur, about Feb. 1,
1847. 4th company, 2d battalion, Artillery—From Kurra-
chee to Bhooj, about Jan. 15, 1847. Her Majesty's 17th
Regiment—From Kurrachee to Bombay and England, ac-
cording as steamers arrive from Bombay for their transport.
(The whole of this corps has now reached the presidency.)
Her Majesty's 86th Regiment From Kurrachee to
Bombay and Poonab, ditto. (The first portion Las arrived
in Bombay.) 10th Regiment Native Infantry—From Gharra
to Bhooj, about Jan. 15, 1847. 12th Regiment Native In-
fantry —From Kurrachee to Rutnagherry and Kolapore,
about Jan. 10, 1847. 13th Regiment Native Infantry—
From Hydrabad to Vingorla and Belgaum, about Feb 10,
1847. 14th Regiment Nrative Infantry—From Hydrabad
to Rutnagherry and Kolapoor, about Jan. 10, 1847. 17th
Regiment Native
.Infantry—From Hydrabad to Via 1 gor a
and Dharwar, about Feb. 10, 1847. Consequent on these
removals, the following movements of corps in Sinde have
been ordered :—let Regiment Sinde Horse—From Hydrabad
to Shikarpoor and north-west frontier. about Dec. 26,
1846. 3d Regiment Native-Infantry—From Kurrachee to
Shikarpoor, on arrival of the 17th Regiment Native Infantry
at Kurrachee. 4th Regiment Native Infantry—From Shi-
karpoor to Kurrachee, on being relieved by the 3d Regiment
Native Infantry. 7th Regiment Native Infantry—From
Sukkur to Shikarpoor, under orders. Ist Beloochee Batta-
lion—From Kurrachee to Hydrabad, Dec. 28, 1846.
This, we presume, will still leave a force of betwixt 14,000
and 17,000 regulars and irregulars on the banks of the
Indus—a large body of men to maintain order amongst a
people with whom, we are assured, our Government
is in the last degree popular, and the characters of their
own late rulers held in the most sovereign disesteem !
It is true, that while we have this assurance one day,
we have on the following information from a quarter
no less distinguished than the Governor of Sinde,
that a general rising would in all likelihood be the conse-
quence of the Ameers being allowed to reside on the Guzerat
and Cutch borders! Nearly the whole troops relieved are
drawn from Kurrachee and Hydrabad, where they we/re.,.c)f

IdODDEN IN ITALT.—Letters from Rome of the
11th inst. mention that a grand banquet was given on the
preceding day to Mr. Cobden, by the Chamber of Commerce
of that capital. The Marquis Potenziani, the president, and
the Marquis Dragonetti severally addressed Mr. Cobden,
whose reply was received with enthusiastic applause. The
Carnival was very gay, owing to the great influx of foreigners.
According to an ancient usage, the Ambassadors of France
and Austria have alone the privilege, during the feast
of Carnival, and on a certain day, to drive through
the Corso, or principal street of Rome, en grand gaia,
after the evening gun, or signal for all carriages to
withdraw. " To-day," says one of these letters, " Count
Rossi, anxious to maintain that old privilege of France,
effected his promenade, followed by a brilliant cortege
of carriaas, with the usual ceremony. The moment
the carriage of the representative of France appeared
on the Corso, where the entire population of Rome is
now assembled, a universal burst of applause resounded
through the crowd from one end of the street to the other."
The next day was the turn of the Austrian Ambassador,
and it was doubted if he would venture out. "If he
does," says a correspondent, " he will certainly be hooted.
We are exerting ourselves to calm the resentment of the
people, which is greatly excited by the suppression of
Cracow, and the late disturbances at Ferrara and Cesenatico ;
and, if we succeed in only securing to the Minister of Austria
a cold reception, we shall have achieved wonders." The
Governor, Cardinal Grasselini, was also to drive in state
through the Corso on that day, and it was apprehended that
his presence would create little sympathy, because of his hay.
ing, at the instigation of the Austrian Ambassador, ordered
the seizure in the shop of the bookseller Natali of a work en-
titled " Massacres of Tarnow, or the Austrian Policy Un-
veiled." Not only was the book confiscated, but M. atali
was fined 100 scudi.
TRIAL Tiar or A NEW IRON STEAMER.—Tee
Princess Helena, a new iron steam-boat, built by Mr. Laird,
of Birkenhead, and the engines by Messrs. George Forrester
and Co., of this town made her first trial trip yesterday.
Her time was taken from the Rock Lighthouse to the Bell
Buoy, thence to the North-west Lightship, and back to the
Rock by the Bell Buoy,--a distance of 31 miles, which she
performed in two hours and two minutes. When we con-
sider that this is the first time the vessel has been outs f dock

the report of the appointment of Captain George St. Patrick

The Right Hon. the Governor-General is pleased to direct
the publication of the following notification:—
" FOREIGN DEPARTMENT.
"Camp Bhyrowal Ghat, on the left bank of the Beas, the 224
December, 1846.
"The late Governor of Cashmere, on the part of the
Lahore state, Sheikh Etnaum-ood-Deen, having resisted by
force of arms the occupation of the province of Cashmere
by Maharaja Ghoolab Singh, the Lahore Government wail
called to coerce their subjects, and to make over the province
to the representative of the British Government, in fulfil-
ment of the conditions of the treaty of Lahore, dated 9th
March, 1846.
" A British force was employed to support, and aid if
necessary, the combined forces of the Lahore state and Mahe-
raja Ghoolab Singh in the above operations.
" Sheikh Etnaum-ood-Deen intimated to the British Go-
vernment that he was acting under orders received from the

Lahore Durbar in the course he was pursuing, and stai;cltCat
the insurrection had been instigated by written instructions
received by him from the Wuzeer Raja Lall Singh.
" Sheikh Emaum-ood-Deen surrendered to the British
agent on a guarantee from that officer, that if the Sheikh
could, as he asserted, prove that his acts were in accordance
with his instructions, and that the opposition was instigated
by the Lahore Minister, the durbar should not be permitted
to inflict upon him, either in his person or his property, any
penalties on account of his conduct on this occasion. The
, British agent pledged his Government to a full and impartial

investigation Of the matter.
" A public inquiry was iastituted into the facts addUcad
by Sheikh Emaum•nodalileen, and it-was fidlreskablialsed
that Raja Lall Singh did secretly instigate the Shaikh to
oppose the occupation, by Maharaja Ghoolab Singh, of the
province of Cashmere.
" The Governor-General immediately demanded that the
Ministers and Chiefs of the Lahore State should depose and
exile to the British provinces the Wuzeer Raja Lall Singh,
" His Lordship consented to accept the deposition of Rids
Lall Singh as an atonement for the attempt to infringe the
treaty by the secret intrigues and machinatiens of the
Wuzeer. It was not proved that the other members of the
durbar had cognisance of the Wuzser's proceedings ; and the
conduct of the sirdars and of the Seikh army, in the late

operations for quelling the Cashmere insurrection and re•
moving the obstacles to the fulfilment of the treaty, proved
that the criminality of the Wuzeer was not participated in
by the Seikh nation.
" The members and chiefs unanimously decreed, and car-
ried into immediate effect, the deposition of the Wuzeer.
" After a few days deliberation relative to the means of
forming a Government at Lahore, the remaining members of
the durbar, in concert with all the sirilars and chiefs of the
State, solicited the interference and aid of the British Go-
vernment for the maintenance of an Administration, and the
protection of the Maharaja Dhuleep Singh during the mi-
nority of his Highness.
"This solicitation by the durbar and chiefs has led to the
temporary modification of the relations between the British
Government and that of Lahore, established by the treaty of
the 9th of March of the present year.
" The terms and conditions of this modification are set
forth in the following articles of agreement :
(Copy.)

ARTICLES OF AGREEMENT - CONCLUDED BETWEEN THE
BRITISH GOVERNMENT AND THE LAHORE DURBAB ON TEL

6TH OF DECEMBER, 1846.

" Whereas the Lahore durbars, and the principal chiefs
and Birders of the State, have, in express terms, communi-
cated to the British Government their anxious desire that
the Governor-General should give his aid and assistance to
maintain the administration of the Lahore State duridg the
minority of Maharaja Dhuleep Singh, and have declared
this measure to be indispensable for the maintenance of the
Government ; and whereas the Governor-General has, under
certain conditions, consented to give the aid and assistance
solicited, the following articles of agreement, in modification
of the articles of agreement executed at Lahore on the 11th
of March last, have been concluded on the part of the British
Government by Mr. Frederick Currie, Secretary to the Go-
vernment of India, and Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Mont-
gomery Lawrence, C. 8., agent to the Governor-Genersd

vernment twenty-two lace of new Nanuck Shaee rupees of
full tale and weight, per annum, for the maintenance of this
force, and to meet the expenses incurred by the British Go-

lacs, 20,000 in Mayor June, and 8 lace and 80,000 in No-
vember or December of each year.
" Art. X. Inasmuch as it is fitting that her Highness the
Maharanee, the mother of Maharaja Dhuleep Singh, should
have a proper provisipn made for the maintenance of herself
and dependents, the sum of 1 lac and 50,000 rupees shall be
set apart for that purpose, and shall be at her Highness's dis-
posal.
" Art. XI. The provisions of this engagement shall have
effect during the minority of his Highness Maharaja Dint-
leep Singh, and shall cease and terminate On his Highness

Governor-General to cause the arrangement to cease at any
period prior to the coming of age of his Highness, at which

longer necessary for maintaining the government of his
Highness the Maharaja.

and executed at Lahore, by the officers and chiefs, and air-
dars, above-named, on the 16th day of December, 1846.

(From CANM
TOR, DEcc.
26, 1846.
In taking a retrospective view of the truisactiens during
the last twelve months, we observe that in comparison with
the previous year there has been a falling off in all imports
with the exception of cotton yarn; a lower range of R&M
has also been established, bet as the cost of production is
now much lessened by the free-trade system, the losses
cannot be so great as in 1845. W e have every reason to
suppose that the actual consumption of manufactured goods
is on the increase, and doubt not that the trade with China
will ultimately be more extensive than that of any other
country eastward of the Cape of Good Hope ; not that large
profits can be expected—high prices will probably never
again obtain, communication with all parts of the world
being so regular and expeditious. At the commencementof
the year large speculations were made in tea, in anticipation
that a reduction of the duty on that article would take place
at home : and as the prices of produce were remunerative to
the Chinese, they were able to afford an advance on the
goods they purchased. This gleam of prosperity was fol.
lowed by a great scarcity of money—a pressure which seems
to have been almost universally felt, the railway mania in
England having drawn the capital hitherto invested
reinlbewusier-
ness into other channels ; for a short time prices were
here than was ever before known. Since that ptaerenod
