A Supplement to the London Gazette was published
last Evening, containing the following extract of a Dis-
patch received by the Secret Committee of the East In-
dia Company :
INDIA BOARD, Arßii._2o, 1846. _ _

The Secret Committee of the East India Company has this
day received, from the Governor-General of India, a dispatch,
of which the following is an extract:—
•°
The Governor-General of India to the Secret Committee.
" Camp Lahore, March 4, 1846.
- -

" On the 20th, the whole army
marched to Lahore, four-
teen miles, and encamped on the Parade-ground, about two
and a half miles from the city gates.
" In the afternoon of the 20. h, the young Maharaja Du-
leep Sing was restored to the Palace of the Rulers of Lahore,
in charge of the Chief Secretary of the Government, F. Cur-
rie, Esq., escorted by British officers and troops, in the man-
ner described in the papers enclosed
" I considered it right to mark, in this public manner, the
submission of the Lahore Government to the British Power;
and t,) show that the restoration of the young Maharaja to
his capital 14/US the spontaneous act of the British Govern-
ment.

" On the 21st, the Chief Engineer and other officers in-
spected the citadel and gates of the town to select positions
for the British troops, by which I bad determined that La-
hore should be occupied till further orders.
" Early on the morning of the 22d, a brigade of British
troops to. .k formal possession of the citadel of Lahore, the
Badshashee Musjeed, and the Buzz .ores Pagh.
`• On receiving the report of his Exc .11ency the Comman
der-in-Chief, I issued the General Order, bearing date the
22d ultimo. I considered the occupation of Lal oe, and the
close of active operations in the field, a proper opportunity
for marking, by substantial reward, the gratitude of the
British Government to its faithful and brave Army, which
had fought so gloriously and so successfully; and I was glad
at being able thus to bring into prominent contrast the just
reward of discipline and obedience with the certain penalty
of insubordination and violence, as exemplified in the fate of
the two armies which had been so long the objects of mutual
observation, the one victorious in the field, and honoured
and bountifully rewarded by its Government; the other, in
spite of its exceeding numbers and advantageous positions,
vanquished in every battle, abandoned by a Government it
had coerced, and, with its shattered remains, left, but for the
intercession of its conquerors, to disperse with no provision
of any kind, and seek a precarious subsistence by rapine and
crime.

" Oti the 17th ultimo, the force under Brigadier Wheeler
crosed the Suttlej, a few miles below Loodianah, and occu-
pied the strong fort of Philor, which was abandoned on the
approach of the troops. Having left a garrison at Philor,
Brigadier Wheeler advanced to the banks of the Beas ; and
the presence of his disciplined force has given confidence of
protection to the inhabitants of the Dooab, who are stated
to be well satisfied with their change of rulers.

The Supple went to the Gazette, contains many other
official documents relating to the recent events in the
Punjaub, the whole of which have already appeared in
The Sun.

DISSOLUTION OF PARLIAMENT.
We believe that we can with confidence announce an early,
if not an immediate dissolution of Parliament. This will
explain why no steps have been taken to provide seats for
the Colonial Secretary, the Irish Secretary, and the seatless
Lords of the Treasury and Admiralty. The motives that
have accelerated the dissolution are probably these :—The
Whigs calculate upon a majority after July, and they feel
strong enough to refuse any terms to Sir Robert Peel and
his faithless and degraded one hundred and twelve! By dis•
solving before July, Sir Robert will deprive the Whigs of their anticipated advantage, and he is, perhaps. weak enough .1
to expect (for to what lengths will not the flattery of self-
love go ?) a recovery of the confidence of the country party,
after the Lords shall have thrown out his Bill, as they cer-
tainly will throw it out. Be this, however, as it may, we 1
warn the friends of the " country party," and the country.
to look for an early, if not an immediate dissolution. Let
them look out at once for their men. The canvass has already
begun on tke other side (though ofconrse secretly and shabbily),
and there is not a moment to be lost. The constituency that
will not dismiss any one of the 112 will brand themselves as
the votaries of perfidy. Even the Whig or Radical must be
preferred before the traitor. AR amusing game this that Sir
Robert Peel and Lord John Russell have been playing,—in
courtship for the good graces of "the Lague.
--a travesty
of the old opera of "Avis and Galatea." Lord John addressed
his slender pipe to the Cobdenites, and almost wins the prize ;
then Polyphemus Peel, stung with jealousy, flings oxen and
sheep, with timber and stacks of corn, at the bead of his
rival in the arms of his mistress. The diminutive lover,
however, still prosecutes his shrill addresses to the nymph,
and so the contest is prolonged—to end, however, we hope,
differently from the opera, for though we have no
paoFectim

GREAT PEDESTRIAN MATCH FOR 1001. A SIDE.—
Monday, the long pending match between Robert Fuller, of London,
formerly well known as the most celebrated walking pedestrian of
his day, and Samuel East, of Westminster, a s oung aspirant to the
champion's honours, came off near the Dnke cf York, Gannick-
corner, Barnet, kept by Frank Keys (the old Bow-street officer).
The men were matched to walk a fair toe-ard-heel match llof twenty
distanca for a stake of 2001. Fuller has followed the avocation
of a trainer of pugilists, and East has been engaged M performing
pedestrian races, and has defeated some first-rate men. In the
betting, East, wha has the advantage of being younger than his op-
ponent, was the favourite at odds, The start was made at a clipping
pace, at which time a considerable concourse of persons were present
and a large sum of mosey was floating on the race. The first mile
was turned In eight minutes and a half ; Fuller at the lad. East
then showed in front, and maintained the lead. At ten miles East
was at an advantage of four hundred yards. The men continued at
first-rate speed, although it was quite manifest East was the winning'
man. The race was kept up till the 18th mile, when Fuller, finding
all chance of winning over, reluctantly gave up the contest ; and
East went in the winner, and won the 2001. stakes. Large sums at
money were laid on Fuller. It was the general opinion he had over-
trained, and was not competent to the distance,
