THE 62D REGIMENT.

----
The following General Order will be read with great in-
terest, as it completely vindicates the 62d Regiment from the
charge brought against them in General Littler's dispatch :
" Head-quarters, Camp, Nilialkee, Jan. 28.
" The Commander-in-Chief is pleased to direct the pub-
lication in general orders to the army of the following
general order issued to the army of the Sutlej.
" The arrival of her Majesty's 62d Foot at head-quarters
offers to the Commander-in-Chief an opportunity, of which
he gladly takes advantage, to express the satisfaction it
affords him to have the services of this corps available with
the force immediately opposed to the enemy..
"The chance of war placed the 62d Regiment in opposi-
tion to the strongest part of the enemy's intrenched position
at the battle of Ferozeshah, on the night of the 21st ult.
The following day, after the enemy's position had been
carried, the Commander-in Chief, with several officers of his
personal stair, minutely inspected the point attacked by the
62d Regiment. Ile found it had been defended by numerous
guns of heavy calibre served with grape and canister.
The very heavy fire by which the regiment was assailed,
and its steady devoted gallantry under the storm, are best
attested by the fact, of which his Excellency was an eye-
witness, of the space in front of and close to the enemy's
battery having been thickly strewed with the bodies of the
brave officers and soldiers who fell in the assault. The
Commander-in-Chief finds that 17 officers and 185 men fell
on this occasion, and that the regiment did not desist from
its noble efforts to carry the position until ordered by the
Brigadier commanding to fall back, as stated in the fol-
lowing extract from the Brigadier's report only now re-
ceived :
" Under these circumstances, seeing her Majesty's 62d was
exposed to a most destructive fire without any object, as they
could not move forward, I conceived it my duty to direct
them to retire, which they did in almost as good order,
making allowance for the heavy loss they had sustained as
that in which they had advanced.' ,
" These are the simple facts of the case, and the Com-
mander-in-Chief is happy to assure the 62d Regiment, on
this the first opportunity of inspecting it, that the conduct
of the corps on the night of the 21st ult., in the battle of Fe-
rozeshab, has received, and merits, his Excellency's most
cordial approbation.

" Justice to the 62d Regiment, and to the Native Regi-
ments brigaded with that corps, demands this exposition of
the sentiments of the Commander-in-Chief, in correction of
an erroneous impression with respect to the conduct of the
brigade, which has been produced by the publication, purely
through an oversight, of a dispatch written exclusively for
his Excellency's information.
" J. R. LUMLEY, Majer-General,
Adjutant-General of the Army."

GROUP XIX.

The Committee assembled this day at twelve o'clock ; present.
Lord :Harry Vane (Chairman), Earl of March, Hon. P. Scott,
Mr. D. Morris, and Mr. Phillip Bennett.
The consideration of the Exeter,Topsham, and Exmonth Railway
was proceeded with.
A preliminary application was made by Mr. Sergeant MURPHY, on
behalf of the promoters to be permitted to examine the engineering
witnesses called for the other side, as witnesses for one Bill, and he
grounded his application on the fact of the impossibility of anticipat-
ing the engineering advantages of the opposite line.
Mr. COCKBURN objected to the application, contending that the
documents and forms which were exhibited and analysed were quite
sufficient to show the whole case of the proposed Bill.
...The room was then cleared, and on our re-admission,
The CHAIRMAN said that the Committee were unanimously of
opinion that alter a witness had undergone his examination and
cross-examination, he could not be re-called by either party in
order to be re-examined.

GROUP XXV.

The Select Committee on this group re .assembled at the usual
hour this morning, in the Westminster Sessions-house ; the Hon. Mr.
Laseelles in the chair.

DIALDON, WXTNEY, AND BRAINTREE.

The first business taken this morning was the landholders' opposi-
tion to this line. The line was opposed by only one landholder, and this
opposition was dii ected to be made by the Court of Chancery, the pro-
perty alleged to be injured by the railway being the subject of a Chan-
cery suit. It was contended that as all the traffic went from the interior
of the county of Essex to a place called Collier's Reach, where the river
Blackwater was navigable at all times, andnot to Malden, it was quite
impossible that the proposed railway could prove a profitable underta-
king. The water at Malden was so precarious and shallow that vessels
of only a moderate towage even could not get up there, and supposing
therefore Parliament sanctioned the proposed railway, it would have
to be extended to Collier's Reach, while if a line going direct from
Braintree to Collier's Reach were adopted, it would prove more eco-
nomical, and do less injury to residential and other valuable
property. It transpired in the course of the inquiry that
tiiere was a company organised for making such a line,
from Braintree to Collier's Reach, but the scheme had been aban-
doned for the present session. It originatbd, it appeared, with the
Chelmer and Blackwater Navigiition Company.
The CHAIRMAN objected to the opposition taking this course. It
ought to be cenfined to the injury which was likely to be done to the
petitioner's property in the parish of Langford.
Mr. GLASSE contended that he had a right to show that there was
no public necessity for the line, and therefore kis client's property
ought not to be injured in any way.
Mr. JAMES, on the contrary, submitted that his Learned Fri
rstood his
end
had no tight to take any such course. He perfectly unde
Learned Friend's endeavouring to convince the Committee that the
line did so much injury to his client's property', that they ought to
pause before sanctioning the scheme, but it wass

LONDON AND YORK RAILWAY.

This case which came under the denomination of privileged Bills
was the next which came under the consideration of the Com•
mittee.

The same objection as that tendered against the Direct London
and Portsmouth Railway (and which may be seen in our railway
report yesterday) was also urged against the line.
The Committee adjourned the case to Thursday next.
A question arose—that as the new deed of contract had been
executed by other parth s from those who paid the deposits—whether
those parties had any claim on the fund in court, which had been
paid under the virtue of the old deeds ?
The Committee decided that as the money had been paid on ac-
count of the Company of the London and York Railway, they were
entitled to make use of it.

EXETER GREAT WESTERN.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
The petition of the executor Robert Pearce, alleging that no notice
had been given of the construction of the line, was then taken into
consideration.
The Committee decided that in this case the standing orders were
emptied with, sufficient care having been taken to ascertain the re-
puted ownership of the lands in question, and due notice having been
served in accordance with the result of that inquiry.
William Higgins and others presented petitions, the allegations of
which were of a similar nature, but many of the objections of which
were pronounced to be immaterial and frivolous.
The Committee then adjourned till twelve o'clock to-morrow.
