THE WEATHER.

SUN OFFICE, Six o'Clock.

The weather has changed. We have now very vivid
flashes of lightning, and thunder, with heavy rain. The
wind has gone round to south-east. The Thermometer
has gone down to 56, but the Barometer, after going
Crin to 30.08, is now up to 30 12.

REMOVAL OF THE CHARTIST
PRISONERS TO NEWGATE.—(THIS DAY.)
At a quarter past four o'clock this afternoon the
Chartist prisoners committed to-day for trial, at Bow-
street, were removed to Newgate. For nearly an hour
before the time of tbeir removal the police prevented
all except the most respectably attired persons
from passing along the street. Nearly 200 constables
were occupied in discharging this duty. In passing
along our reporter stood for a few moments in the
midst of the solitude created in Bow-street, for trade
sod traffic were for more than an hour all but suspended
opposite the court, taking, however, the precaution to
place himself in a doorway—whilst in this position an
impertinent officer, named Inspector Dodd, an unfit
person to hold such an office, ordered him in the most
uncourteous terms to be off. He told him that
be was connected with the press and was there
as a reporter. " I don't care," replied this impertinent
officer, " you must be off." Mr. Dodd seemed desirous
of getting up a row instead of wishing to quell it if one
had arisen. We never saw so unuecesarily and useless
an attempt at display; the misguided and silly men
were thereby endowed with a notoriety of which their
power, whether for good or evil, rendered them unworthy.
.31any of the police wore cutlasses. The prisoners
were placed, after much delay, and much ceremony, and
much parade, in three police vans, and each was fol-
lowed by two mounted police. They were driven ra-
pidly off to Newgate. At either end of the street seve-
ral hundreds of people had congregated, who gave no
utterance to feelings of any kind as the vans passed.

ELECTION COMMITTEE.
( THIS DAY.)
HORSHAM.

Mr. PICKERING having summed up on behalf of the
sitting Member,
The Attorney-General was called on the side of the
petitioners. He said he had only been twice to Horsham.
The first time was on the 29th of May, 1847, when be
stayed at the Nunnery. Having a bad foot, be borrowed
Mr. Edwin James, the barrister's, pony chaise and drove
into Horsham. On that occasion, while talking to Mr.
Medwin, he was joined by Mr. Edwin James, who intro-
duced Mr. Padwick to him. Mr. James said, " Mr.
Attorney-General, this is Mr. Padwick; he is a man of
very great influenee in Horsham, and hitherto he has
been acting for Mr. Hurst, but he is now unfortunately
against us." He (the Attorney-General) said to Mr.
Padwick, " I am sorry you have changed your aide;"
whereupon Mr. Padwick replied, "It can't be
helped, sir; I am acting for Mr. Fitzgerald,
but upon another occasion I shall have no objection to
hold a retainer for your son." To which he (the At-
torney-General) added, " I dare say I *hall give you a
breathing; I am always lucky at elections."
This closed the evidence of the petitioners to prove
the agency of Mr. Padwick.
'Mr. CROWDER, Q.C., then replied upon the whole
case, after which the. Committee deferred their decision
till to-isiorrow.

DEALERS IN SPIRITS BILL AND BRITISH

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair at Two o'clock.
Mr. MUNTZ gave notice that he would, next
sessioa, move a resolution to the effect that, as
the Legislature had fully determined to carry out
the monetary system, which would speedily reduce
the value of all property to the level of '95, it was only
requisite and expedient that the salaries of all officers
and servants of the Government, which were raised
upon the war system, should be reduced to their
original amount.

The Exchequer-bills Bill was read a third time
and passed.
CONSOLIDATED FUND BILL.
On the question that this Bill be read a third time,
Sir J. HOB lIOUSE, in answer to a question from
Mr. G. Thompson, stated that there was certainly an
understanding between the Government and the lion.
Member that his motion with respect to the Itaja of
Sattara should come on upon the motion for the third
reading of this Bill ; but it would be more con-
venient, and more in order, if he would consent to
postpone it until the other orders of the day had
been disposed of.
Mr. G. THOMPSON said, all he wished was to
make a statement on the subject to the House, and
he trusted that he would not be frustrated by de-
ferring to the wishes of the Government.
The Bill was then read a third time and passed.
COPPER AND LEAD DUTIES BILL.
The report upon this Bill was brought up and
agreed to.

POOR- LAW AUDITORS' PROCEEDINGS
RESTRICTION BILL.
This Bill went through Committee.
REPRODUCTIVE LOAN FUND INSTITU-
TION (IRELAND) BILL.
The consideration of the Lords' amendments to
this Bill was postponed until to-morrow, at twelve.
SAVINGS' BANK BILL.
On the motion for the third reading of this Bill,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said it was the intention of the Government to limit
the measure entirely to Ireland, and not to apply
its provisions to savings' banks in England and
Scotland.
Lord GEORGE BENTINCK expressed his sin-
cere gratification at this determination of the Go-
vernment, but would have been better pleased if
the Chancellor of the Exchequer had announced it
the other night, instead of keeping the House sitting
until half-past three in the morning.
After a few words from Colonel SIBTHORP,
Mr. REYNOLDS begged to correct an error
which had been fallen into by the press, when it was
reported that he expressed his satisfaction with the
management of savings' banks in Ireland. He
was of opinion that they were badly managed, and
trusted that another Bill of a more adequate nature
would be introduced next session. It was his inten-
tion to give notice that at an early period next session
he should move for the appointment of a Select Com-
mittee to inquire into the fraud which had been com-
mitted in St. Peter's Savings' Bank, Dublin. The
amount of money lost at that bank exceeded 50,0001.,
and all the available money to meet the loss was 87i.
After a few words from Mr. Henley, Mr. Herbert,
Mr. Hume, and other Hon. Members, the Bill was
read a third time and passed.
POOR-LAWS.
Mr. C. BULLER moved for leave to bring in
a Bill to provide for the more equitable dis
tribution of the charge for the relief of the
poor in certain cities and towns. He stated
that during the recess he should circulate the Bill,
and send it to all boards of guardians, and if
it were approved of by other towns not included in
the Bill, he should extend it to them. He did not in-
tend to include those towns and cities which were
governed by Local Acts, unless they wished him to do so_
RAJA OF;SATTARA.
Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON then rose to bring
before the House the case of the Raja of Sattara.
The Honourable Gentleman said—Sir, in rising to
address the House on the motion of which I have
given notice, it is my intention to be as brief as pos-
sible, and to avoid, if I can, giving occasion for con-
troversy or debate. In renewing, at this late period,
the discussion of the Sattara question, I yield to a
sense of imperative duty, conceiving the subject
eminently entitled to the consideration of the Go-
vernment, and of this assembly, bound as that Go-
vernment and this House are, to watch over the exer-
cise of the power which has been entrusted to the
hands of a chartered company, to govern a hundred
millions of the subjects of her Majesty. If I may be
permitted to refer to the past debates in this House,
I will do so to observe, that in my opinion this ques-
tion has never yet been fairly dealt with. It has al-
ways been capable of solution, by a reference of the
papers in the case, to the calm and judicial investiga •
tion of an impartial Committee, aided in their labours
by the evidence of persons in this country, who have
from time to time been concerned in the proceedings.
Such a tribunal would have found no difficulty in
determining every point on which there has been a
difference of opinion ; nor any difficulty in reporting
to the t House the course which justioe and
good faith require should be taken. Such an
investigation would have been of the highest
importance, not only as tending to the just settle-
ment of this particular question, but as contributing
to the knowledge, so much needed, of the manner in
which our vast possessions in India are ruled, and
the treaties which have been concluded with native
states are observed. Since this question was first
brought forward by my Hon. Friend the Member for
Montrose until the present time the only request
ever preferred has been, that the subject should be
taken out of the arena of party conflict in this House,
and be submitted to a Committee, to be decided ac-
cording to the pature and value of the evidence pro-
duced. As far as the character of the late Raja is
concerned, and the fate of his family and subjects is
affected by the opinions entertained of his guilt, I
am prepared to demonstrate his entire and absolute
innocence, by the exposure of the falsehood and
worthlessness -of every particle of the evidence col-
lected to criminate him. The assertion, that " every
opportunity was afforded to the Raja of defending
himself from the charges brought against him," is
contradicted most flatly by the official documents
which have been laid upon the table of this House.
In the case of the first charge, the Raja heard the
depositions of two of the witnesses read to him
in the Hindustanee language, but never was
permitted to see a copy of the depositions
in the Alahrattas, and consequently never had
the slightest chance afforded him of rebutting
the testimony given against him. This was in
1836. Of the other charges he never heard a
word until the 23d of August, 1839, when he was
called upon to sign the paper submitted to him by
Sir James Carnac, the Governor of Bombay, and
for refusing to do so, was dethroned eleven days
afterwards. Now, Sir, if the friends of the late
Raja in this country have been able by an examina-
tion of the ex parte evidence, to unravel every part
of the conspiracy against his Highness, and to prove
the charges against him to be utterly false, how
much more would the accused himself have been
able most triumphantly to vindicate his character and
conduct, if there had been an observance of the
simplest rules of justice, by placing the evidence
taken against him in his hands. Sir, a memorial
sent by the late Raja to Lord Hardinge, the Gover-
nor-General in 1844, and for four years kept back
by the Indian authorities, has been described as a
preposterous 'humbug," because it was drawn up
by a gentleman in this country, and sent to his
Highness at Benares. For the truth of the contents
of that document (which has at last been brought
to light and laid before the House), I hold myself
individually responsible. Sir, it was not until 1843
that the mass of secret papers in this case were or-
dered to be printed. It was not until the spring of
1844 that they were published, and they could only
then be of service to the Raja, by being examined
by a person who could read them in the English, and
was competent to analyse their contents. I devoted
myself to the study of those papers, and drew up such
a statement of the facts of the case as I thought would,
if placed in the hands of his Lordship the Governor-
General, convince him that justice had not been done
to the Raja of Sattara. His Highness approved of
my statement, and sent it through the hands of
the official agent to the Governor-General. That
document has been denounced as " a humbug," but,
Sir, it has never been answered. It has been de-
nounced as a " humbug," but no single fact which
it sets forth has been questioned. It has been de-
nounced as "a. humbug,' but by those who dare not
meet me either here or elsewhere to debate its accu-
racy. •I—challenge the whole of the Ministerial
bench to show that there is a statement in it which
is conttary to truth.. 'lt -is to this document that the
agent of the Governor-General (Major Carpenter)
refers, in the following extract, from a dispatch in the
Secret department, addressed to the Governor-
General

" When the Raja was consigned to my charge,
early in 1840, I considered it necessary, for the effi-
cient discharge of my duties, to make myself fully
acquainted with the causes of his dethronement, his
general reputation for intrigue, and other circum-
stances connected with his character and conduct, to
enable me to form a just estimate of the man with
whom I had to deal, and to guard against the conse-
quences which might arise from any laxity of sur-
veillance on my part. To this end I carefully studied
the whole of the voluminous documents connected
with his case, and the result was, a belief in his inno-
cence ; and this belief has been confirmed, beyond a
doubt, by subsequent disclosures, and by his pledging
himself to prove it, if permitted to do so, in his letter
to Sir Henry Ilardinge, of the 12th December,
1844, forwarded through me, and which pledge I am
fully persuaded he is able to redeem."
Had the prayer of that memorial been granted, I
believe the Raja would have been alive at this time,
and sitting upon the throne of Sattara. But, Sir, the
deposal of the Raja was not the only act of injustice
which was done. He was also stripped of his private
property, and this brings me to a part of the subject
connected with the present circumstances of the sur-
viving family. The Raja, though denied the op-
portunity of proving his innocence,
guilt.
Itcallheads upon
to sign a paper admitting his
stated, that all his Highness was required to do was
to renew the treaty of 1819. This assertion is en-
tirely at variance with the official papers. The articles
submitted were perfectly new. The Hon. Baronet
shakes his head. Well, I will quote from an Hon.
Director, Mr. Shepherd, who has in his Minute of Dis•
sent truly observed, that " The preamble of the con-
ditions which his Highness was called upon to sign
entangled him in an admission of guilt ; it also in-
volved the Government in the glaring inconsistency
of propounding a principle, which required the
strongest proofs of the Raja's unworthiness to reign,
as a necessary condition on which he was to continue
on the guddee. Who will deny that his rejection of
the proposal furnishes presumptive evidence of his
innocence, and raises him more in the estimation of
the world, than if he had ignominiously complied for
the sake of retaining his sovereignty ?" This rejec-
tion of the article and preambles submitted by Sir
James Carnac led to the determination on the part of
the Bombay Government to dethrone the Raja, and
accordingly, orders to that effect were sent to the Re-
isident on the 30th of August, 1839. These instrucw

ties were from the pen of the Governor, and bore
his signature. I entreat the attention of the House to
the eighth paragraph of this letter :
" 8. You will be careful to provide, in the most
effectual manner, for the personal comfort and con-
venience of the Raja and his family, and to require
the Sattara Government to furnish everything that
may be necessary for their accommodation. He is,
in fact, to be regarded and treated as an object of
sympathy, and not of punishment. You will inform
him that he will be permitted to reside within the
Hon. Company's territories, at such place as may be
selected by the Right Hon. the Governor-General of
India, and that an annual allowance will be assigned
from the Sattara revenues for the support and respect-
ability of himself, and those members of his family
who may choose to accompany him. Further, that
all property belonging to him, bona fide private, and not
appertaining to the state, will, on his peaceable subnzis-
sion, not be interfered with."
_

In this paragraph two things are distinctly and
solemnly guaranteed; firstly, an annual allowance for
the support of the Raja and his family ; and secondly,
the retention of all property not appertaining to the
State. The condition on which the second pledge
was given was strictly observed by the Raja. Not
only did the Raja not offer any resistance, but he
adopted the most effectual means of preventing any
disturbance or conflict. For a time it appeared to
be the intention of the Government to redeem the
pledge respecting the private property, for the Raja,
while encamped a short distance from Sattara, re-
ceived three official notes from the Resident, Colonel
Ovens, in conformity with that pledge. I will read
a brief extract from one of these notes, which is
dated the 13th of September :
" With reference to your Highness's private pro-
perty, I beg to observe, that that will be at your own
disposal, as distinguished from the public property of
the State—namely, jewellery, robes, dresses, 6-c.,
money, furniture, plate, and other necessaries which
your Highness may require. On your Highness in-
timating the same, I will order the articles to be sent
to you."
In order that no doubt may exist respecting the
authenticity of these documents, I will quote an ex-
tract from a dispatch written by Major Carpenter at
Benares to Sir T. Maddock, the Secretary to the
Supreme Government, Nov. 15, 1840. Major Car-
penter says—
" Par. 8. The ex-Raja has in his possession three
letters, signed by Colonel • Ovens, the Resident at
Sattara, and dated the sth, Gth, and 13th of Sep-
tember, 1839, respectively, to the effect that his
private property would be surrendered to him ; and
suggesting that lists of such portions thereof as he
wished to take away, as well as of those articles he
desired to leave in his palace, might be furnished,
that which properly belonged to the State being
retained."

Major Carpenter then adds, in the next paragraph—
" 9. I have carefully examined the documents re-
ferred to in the preceding paragraph, and therefore
believe the statements it (viz., a letter from the ex
Raja to the Resident, remonstrating against the claims
of Appa Sahib to his private property), contains to
be substantially correct ; and it it be the pleasure of
the Right lion. the Governor-General in Council;
the originals or translations thereof shall be sub-,
mitted to his Lordship's further consideration."

In addition to these proofs of a solemn engagement
to respect the private property of the Raja, I may be
permitted to quote from the minute of Sir James
Carnac, forwarded to the Governor-General and
the Court of Directors, dated the 4th of September,'
detailing his proceedings and intentions. In this he
distinctly refers to the pledge given, that the Raj
should retain his private property, in addition to re,
ceiving an allowance for his permanent support. Tho
Governor says—

" 32. My instructions to the Resident enjoin, that,
every effort should be made to obviate collision, but
that should such unhappily occur, that every precau,
tion should be taken to prevent injury to the well.:
disposed, and to guard against irregularities on th 4,
part of our troops. They likewise enjoin that every
attention be paid to the personal comtbrt and convei,
nience of the Raja and his family, and secure to him
his private property and a suitable maintenance for!
his future support. The question of his future dis-!
posal is left for consideration hereafter. I have every
confidence in Lieutenant-Colonel Ovens' judgment
and discretion, that he will secure that these instruc-:
tions are scrupulously attended to."
I am satisfied that no Member of this House, having
these official documents before him, would conceive
it possible that the Government of Bombay would;
afterwards confiscate the whole of the Raja's pro-1
perty, and leave him without a shilling beyond the;
allowance fixed for his maintenance. Yet, in a I
dispatch to the Supreme Government, dated the 25th;
of November (eighty-six days after the pledge of Sirs
James Carnac), we find the determination expressed
by the Council of Bombay, to consider the whole of
the private property of the ex-Raja forfeited, and the
pension as satisfaction in full of all demands. The.
fact that the Raja of Sattara was possessed of a very'
large amount of private property is not disputed.
The Resident, Colonel Ovaus, while under the im-
pression that the pledge of the British Governor
would be redeemed, described in his dispatches the
manner in which the ex-Raja had become possessed;
of his large wealth, namely, by appropriating a stated'
sum for the private expenses of himself and his;
family, and then laying aside the balance, which he
either allowed to accumulate, or expended in jewels.'
Every previous Resident at the Itaja's Court is ablel
to confirm the truth of this statement, and to prove;
that so scrupulously and accurately were the publici
accounts separated from the private, and the pro-.
perty belonging to the State distinguished from that;
which was personal, that no difficulty at any timei
existed in the way of accounting to the Raja for;
that which was bond fide his own. The following
the view taken of this transaction by a member of
the court of directors, Mr. Shepherd :
" There can be no question but that the treasure!
and jewels found in the palace were the fruits of the'
economical management of the Raja's resources. Uni
like the generality of native princes, be had governed'
his people with prudence and moderation, and re-r
strained his own expenses within the limits of his in-;
come. The Bombay Government decided, however
that the property should be made over to the present
Raja, and that the ex-Raja be informed that the
pension is assigned to himself and his family in satis-i
faction of all demands whatever on the Government of
Sattara. Such is likely to be the climax of the unhappy.
Raja's fate. A prince who bad been for many years,
and up to a very late period, the deserving
object of the Court's and the Government's
highest favour and admiration, stripped of his ra,
and his property, he is now the degraded pensioner,
of that brother who assisted in his overthrow.
To me, it appears that the confiscation and transfer
of his property to the present Raja is an additional'
penalty inflicted on this unfortunate Prince, not'
warranted by any considerations whatever. Indeed,'
in the absence of professional opinion, I must con-
tend that the act is illegal; the regulations of our.
Government guaranteeing to all our subjects the free;
possession of the property held by them until they'
shall be deprived of it by the judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction. If I lamented the extreme;
measure of his deposal, more deeply do I lament this
aggravated severity. It is the great prerogative of
the home authorities to hold the balance of justice
between our local governments and the natives (A*
India. Removed far from the scene of action, they
can review, with dispassionate calmness, every turn
and movement of the actors; and whilst they are
bound to afford every proper support to their own
servants, it is equally their sacred duty to protect
their native subjects, and to withhold their sanction:
from acts of oppression and injustice."
Mr. Tucker, Sir C. Forbes, Mr. Cotton, General)
Robertson, Colonel Sykes—all took the same,
view of that question. Sir, on the arrival of
the Raja at his place of exile, he called upon
the Governor-General's agent to take an inventory
of the articles he had brought with him, which,
with the exception of the personal ornaments of
the female members of his family, were of very incon-
siderable value ; he also handed to the same agent a
schedule specifying the property left behind him at
Sattara, and I have no doubt that an inquiry would
have established the perfect accuracy of the Raja's
statement. According to that schedule, and to all
the other information whic}i has reached me, the Raja
was deprived of property, bona fide private, of the
value of not less than 300,0001. sterling. What then,
Sir, becomes of the boasts which have been uttered
in this House of the liberality of the East India
Company ? From the time the Raja was dethroned
until his death, he received (during a period of eight
into
him—or banishment,abeut e u aen-dthiwrdere the entirelyamo utde-
pendent
ef
years) about 100,0001. in all, for the support of him-

reyears,v and

nothing, for every farthing has been taken from
the treasury of Sattara—(Sir John C. Hob-
house nodded assent)—while they have secured
to themselves, by the second treaty, the sever-
siou of Jagheers, yielding 50,0001. a year. In-
sinuations have been thrown out calculated to lead
uninformed persons to suppose that the late Raja had
it in his power to expend lavish sums upon agitation
in this country. It is true, that out of of his allow-
ance he found the means of supporting a native gen-
tleman as his representative in this country; but it
