GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION ComPANY.—The half-
yearly general meeting of this Company was on Tuesday held aistheir
office. 69, Lombard-street. The meeting was numerously attended ;
Mr. Wilkin in the chair. The report, which was of a very satisfac-
tory characters was unanimously adopted, and the usual dividend
and bonus declared, after which the meeting separated, highly
tied with the prosperous state of their affairs.
THE SEIKHs.—We are reluctantly constrained to
suppose that whilst the rashness of the Entrance of the Selkhs ap-
peared to have placed them in our power, and rendered their destruc-
tion inevitable, they have in fact withdrawn from their position in
our territorieswith a force which is still sufficient to offer a
of
re-
sistance to our advance over the plains of Lahore. The man to
whom public opinion in this country unhesitatingly points as the
fittest to conduct such an expedition is Sir Charles Napier ; and
whether it be intended or not that the army of Sinde should act
upon the upper branches of the Indes, that intrepid and able officer
must not be absent from the field of danger and of honour. —Times.
