THE RAJA OF SATTARA.

Mr. G. TuomrsoN withdrew his motion of which he
had given notice, respecting the suppression of certain
papers in the case of the Raja of Sattara.

THE AMEERS OF SINDE.

Colonel Thcx.ENsox then brought forward the follow-
ing motion
That as it appears from the printed papers laid
before the Court of Proprietors, and from other authentic
sources, that there is no act of the British Government
by which its reputation for good faith and clemency has
been more deeply sullied than by the unprovoked inva-
sion of the Principality of Sinde, followed by the de-
thronement and expatriation of its hereditary rulers, it
is the opinion of this Court that every constitutional
means should be persevered in with the view of obtaining
for those deeply injured and still exiled Princes that in-
demnity to which their unmerited sufferings, and the
valuable aid which they so long rendered to the British
Government in the season of distress so justly entitle
them."
The Hon. Proprietor began to read a written speech of
apparently formidable dimensions, until informed by the
Chairman that this was irregular. lie then (using his
written speech by way of note) entered into a statement,
occupying more than two hours, of matters connected
with the deposition of the A meers of Sinde, embracing
transactions with the Schah of Persia and with Runjeet
Singh ; replying to the charges preferred against the
Ameers, and reading a variety of testimonies in favour
of the character of those Princes, who, he argued, had
been treated with harshness and injustice. Attempts
were made in vain to abridge the speech of the lion.
Proprietor, and by the time he concluded there were not
more than three or four Proprietors remaining in the
Court. 'When the question was put, not one of them
would second the motion, which consequently fell to the
ground, and the Court adjourned.

FORGERY OF BANS Or ENGLAND NOTES.—The
public must be on their guard against a very well
executed forgery of a 51. Bank of England note, which
is now in circulation. The watermark is perfect,
though, perhaps, rather more strongly developed than
in the genuine note. They are numbered r 50,395;
dated 16th February, 1846 ; apparently issued from the
branch Bank of England at Manchester, and are signed
H. Hogden." So well has the forgery been executed,
that one of these notes was paid into a bank in Liver-
pool; by the bankers it was paid to a firm, who again
paid it to a foreign mercantile house; and it was only
upon the note being presented to the Bank of England
in London that the forgery was discovered. The only
fault that we could find with the forgery was the in-
completeness of the figure of Britannia in the left hand
upper corner. Other notes, one of which is in the pos-
session of the police, of the same date, and evidently
from the same plate, are in circulation. It will be well
to examine the letters, number, and date of every 51.
note taken, and to refuse any agreeing to the above
description.—Liverpool Mercury.
RUMOURED RESIDENCE Or LOUIS PHILIPPE IN
LANCASHIRE.—For the last fortnight rumours have
reached us of the probability that Louis Philippe would
eventually take up his residence in this county, at Dux-
bury Park, near Chorley. We now find the matter
publicly alluded to. The Preston filet says-4, It is not
improbable but that the ex King may come into this
neighbourhood. He is, we believe, in treaty for Dux-
bury Park, near Chorley. It will be recollected that
the late Mr. Frank Hall Standish, at his death, left many
of his best pictures to Louis Philippe, who, in return,
made some exceedingly splendid presents to the present
Mr. Standish (the owner of Duxbury). This gentleman,
we understand, is to visit Claremont to-day (Saturday
last), when it is not unlikely but that arrangements may
be made for his ex-Majesty occupying Duxbury Park."
—Manchester Couritr.
ARRIVAL OF SPECIE.—The vessel Robert Small,
arrived in the docks from Calcutta, Madras, and the
Cape of Good Hope respectively, has brought from the
second-mentioned place ten boxes of specie, consigned to
an eminent firm in the metropolis.
TAKE CARR OF YOUR POCK ETS.—A Congress of
all the German Sovereigns is, it is said, about to be held
at Dresden.—Punch.
ROYAL ARTILLERY.—The recruiting party at In
verness, under the command of Major Greenwood, C. 8.,
is ordered to join at head quarters at Wooleich this
week, that the company may be.filled up to the usual
strength. Liajor Greenwood's copany served for a
long period in China, and when them remainder of it re-
turned home, about three weeks ago, under the com-
mand of Lieutenant Pattison, it did not muster above 20
strong, several gunners having been invalided every
year without sending others to fill up their places. The
men:of the Royal Sappers and Miners continued to enjoy
a very fair share of health in China.
MUNIFICENT LEGACY.—The late Miss Catherine
Wood has bequeathed a munificent legacy of 1,000/,
to the Incorporated Society for promoting the Enlarge.
meat, Building, and Repairing of Churches and Chapels.
