MR. WENTZELL'S REGATTA.

The annual pair-oared race amongst respectable
tradesmen, now an old established event, came off
yesterday at Lambeth. As usual a barge was fitted
up for the convenience of company at Mr. Went-
zell's house, the Ship Tavern, and the attendance
of spectators was very considerable. The race was,
as usual, fo'r silver cups, in three heats.

First Heat.

Messrs. Freshwater and Gaze (Red) 1
Messrs. Miller and C. Mining (Black and White) 2
Messrs. Little and Cross ....
. .

The distance was from the Ship Tavern up to
Nine Elms, down to Mr. E. Searle's and back to
the ghip. The men started well, but red shortly
afterwards took the lead, and won easily •, the two
other pair had a slight foul, by which both were
retarded.

and it was pronounced inadmissible by the law
advisers and Ministers of the Crown.

"The bulk of the English soldiers of her Majesty's
Indian forces is composed of men who well represent
those who, during the administration of the Com-
pany, have shed their blood side by side with the
Royal troops serving in India, to establish the
supremacy of the British power and to sustain the
glory of England ; and many among them have by
their valour and—discipline during the last two
eventful years rendered invaluable service in the
repression and punishment of mutiny and rebellion.
The Viceroy and Governor-General in Council has
placed reliance on the loyalty and good sense of the
great body of these men, and he has looked confi-
dently to their setting a good example to their
younger comrades. He has not been disappointed.
"But a strong feeling prevails among some—
chiefly the younger soldiers—that they have not
been dealt with justly, and some have been guilty
of acts of disobedience and misconduct.
" These were quickly put down. Afterwards, by
order of the Right Hon. the Commander-in-Chief,
courts of inquiry were opened, before which the
men were called upon to make their representations,
and to state unreservedly the grounds of their
claims. The proceedings of these courts are now
before the Government.
" The Government is satisfied that the objections
of the men are founded, in the case of many of them,
on an honest conviction that their rights have been
overlooked. This conviction has been strengthened
by the expression of opinions from high authority
in England, which naturally have had a powerful
effect on the minds of the men. It has been put
forward by the men, for the most part, in a soldier-
like and respectful manner, after the, first excite-
m

rent had pasied away, consequent upon .the orders
and wanungs-uf-tha Commander-in-Chief. '
" being the case, and it being the desire of
the Government of India that there should not be
even an appearance of injustice done to any soldier,
his Excellency the Viceroy and Governor-General
of India in Council has determined, with the full
concurrence of the Right Hon. the Commander-in-
Chief, that every non-commissioned officer and sol,
dier in the three Presidencies who enlisted for the
East India Company's forces, shall, if he desire it,
be allowed to take his discharge, under the provi-
sions of the act for limiting the time of service in
the army (10th and 11th of Victoria, cap. 37), which
directs that soldiers taking their discharge shall be
conveyed to England, and there finally discharged ;
and that in the meanwhile they shall continue to
be subject to the Mutiny Act and Articles of War.
" Each man will be duly paid and settled with
to the date of his embarkation ; from which date,
according to the regulations of the local forces, pay
will cease.

" The representations of the men, as recorded by
the courts of inquiry assembled for this purpose at
Meerut and other stations, will be transmitted for
the consideration of her Majesty's Government.
But the Viceroy and Governor-General in Council
distinctly announces, that he is not authorised to
hold out any hope that the Government of her Ma-
jesty will recede from the decision to which it has
already come, in regard to re-enlistment and bounty.
" The offer of discharge now determined upon
will be made under arrangements to be ordered by
the Commanders-in-Chief respectively at the three
Presidencies ; and the decision of every man who
elects to remain in the service is to be entered in
the regimental records, and will be considered final.
" Men accepting their discharge under this order
will not be permitted to enlist into any regiment in
India, whether of the Line or the Indian Army.
They will he sent to the port of embarkation under
the orders of their Excellencies the Commanders-
in-Chit f in Bengal, Madras, and Bombay, and will
be provided with passage to England.
" Circumstances having recently come to the
knowledge of his Excellency the. Viceroy and Go-
vernor-General in Council, which show that the
sth European Regiment, stationed at Berhampore,
has conducted itself in a manner which leads him
to doubt whether the privilege conferred by the
General Order No. 883, of this day's date, can pro-
perly be extended to that corps, his Excellency in
Council has determined that the sth European Re-
giment shall he exc.uded from the operation of the
said order, until inquiry shall have been made into
its conduct, and a report received thereon,"
