GREAT WESTERN RAILW AY.
Notice is hereby given, that the next HALF-YEARLY
GENERAL MEETING of the PROPRIETORS of this COMPANY
will be held in London, pursuant to the Act of Parliament, at the
Paddington Station, on THURSDAY NEXT, the 15th instant, at
Twelve, for One o'clock precisely, for the ELECTION of FOUR
DIRECTORS, in the place of the same number who will retire by
rotation, and for other purposes of business.
And the said General Meeting will also be MADE SPECIAL, for
the purpose of considering and authorising the Directors to make ap-
plication to Parliament, in this present session, to alter and enlarge
the powers of any Act or Acts relating to this Company, or to the Chel-
tenham and Great Western Union Railway Company, or to the Oxford
Railway Coinpany, as well as the propriety of joining or becoming par-
ties with any other person or persons in applying to Parliament for a
Bill for making a Railway from the Great Western Railway at Pang-
bourne to the town of Newbury, or of agreeing with any person or
persons who shall apply to Parliament for such Bill, as to the ex-
penses of such application, or of the construction of such Railway, or
for taking on lease or use of such Railway when made, upon such
tenns and conditions as may seem proper.

SUPPLEMENTS GRATIS,
WITH THE DISPATCH.
_ _ .

In consequence of the immense demand for the DISPATCH
and SUPPLEMENT of Sunday last, containing a full Report of Mr.
Shell's most brilliant Speech, the Proprietors of the Dispatch,
apprehensive that numbers of persons, who may be desirous of
obtaining copies of their Journal, may be disappointed,
unless provision be made to meet such demand, have
printed a great number of extra papery to keep on sale ; and
as, when these are disposed of, others will not be obtainable, an
early application is suggested, as the Supplement which accom-
panied the Dispatch of February 4, will be necessary to bind
with those Supplements that are to follow ; so that when the
great 'national trial •is concluded a perfect history of .the affair
(including a biographical sketch of Mr. • O'Connell), which may
be bound, or otherwise preserved as a matter of reference, will
be in the possession of every purchaser of this Journal, the
proprietors of which, anxious to render the account perfect, will
present (gratis) a Supplement each Sunday during the progress of
the trial, and another at the conclusion, containing all the proceedings
up to the Supplement given on Sunday last. That of Sunday next will be
comprised in 48 colunms, the same size as the Dispatch, and. contain
a verbatim report of the most eloquent speeches of Mr. Whiteside and
of Mr. O'Connell.

Orders for the Dispatch are received by every News Agent and
Bookseller in the kingdom ; and by Mr. Wood, at the (Mice, 139,
Fleet-street.

THE OCCUPATION OF SINDE.
In the dispatches laid before Parliament since the
opening of the session, relative to Sinde, we find the
following important letter, addressed by Lord Ellen-
borough to the Secret Committee. It correctly states
that, after late occurrences, there was no alternative
but that recommended by Sir 11. Pottinger, to take
possession of the country, and that the Ameers had
no right to the territory, except the right of the
sword. They were regular freebooters under the
SOvereigns of Caubul, they conquered the native
population, and then refused to pay tribute to their
masters. " The abolition of slavery in Sinde," says
his Lordship, has produced an extent of relief far
beyond what I had expected." (From the " Corres-
pondence relative to Sinde, No. 140.).

" THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL TO THE SECRET COMMITTEE.
"Allahabad, June 26, 1843.
"On the withdrawal of the British armies from
Caubul to the Sutlej, I had to decide what course I
should pursue with respect to the Lower Indus. I had
to decide whether the Lower Indus should be altogether
evacuated, and our armies everywhere resume the posi-
tions they occupied before the Affghan war; or whether,
while the old positions were re-occupied upon the
Sutlej, certain points should still be held upon the
Lower Indus, which would ensure the strict perfor-
mance of commercial treaties, and give us the military
command of that river.

Thenever failing effects of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, In
curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to
them a celebrity sine nailed by any medicine of past or present
times. They hot only give relief in a few hours, where the patient
has been striven nearly to madness by the excruciating tortures of
this disease, but restored to perfect health in an inconceivably short
space of time.
They are equally speedy and certain in Rheumatism, either chronic
or acute, Lumbago, Sciatica, Pains in the Head and Face, and indeed
for every rheumatic or gouty affection in fact, such has been the

" The withdrawal to the Sutlej, and the withdrawal
from the Lower Indus, appeared to me to be very dif-
ferent questions. The withdrawal to the Sutlej was
dictated by the 'clearest views of military and political
prudence. I shall not recapitulate the reasons for that
measure, as they have been placed on record in what
has been called my proclamation of the Ist Oct., 1842.
" I have adopted every measure which could have the
effect of giving the appearance of triumph to the return
of the armies from Caubul ; but still it was a retirement
from an advanced position, and it was the first retire-
ment ever rendered necessary to a British army.
" I was deeply sensible of the impression which the
reverses at Caubul had produced upon the minds of
native Princes, of the native population, and of oar own
troops. I knew that all that had taken place since, and
all I had said and done, although it must have much di-
minished, could not I;ave obliterated, that impression,
and restored to our Government, and to our army, the
place they had before held in the opinion of India.
" To have added to retirement to the Sutlej, retire-
ment from the Lower Indus ; to have abandoned every
part of the advanced position we had taken up in 1839 ;
to have withdrawn from Kurachee and from Sukkur
amidst the insults, and exposed, as we should have been to
the attacks of the Beloochees upon our rear guard; to have
practically abandoned, as we should thereby have done,
all the benefits which we might expect ultimately to
derive from the commercial 'treaties concluded in 1839
(for it was idle to imagine after what had passed, that,
without the presence of force, those treaties would be
observed) ; to have abandoned all the great prospective
advantages which may be expected to be derived from
substituting the Indus for the Ganges, as the line of
military communication between England and the north-
west provinces, and to have left open to the ambition of
the Sikhs, or of an European power, that route of which
we had demonstrated the practicability and the import-
ance ; to have done all these things, without positive
instructions from you, or without some overpowering
necessity, would have been, in my opinion, contrary to
my duty, because inconsistent with our national interest
and the national honour.
" Such a measure would have confirmed the most ex-
aggerated accounts which had been circulated of our
disasters. It would have been humiliating to the army.
" There was no overpowering necessity for retirement.
There is no difficulty in holding the positions of Kura-
chee and Sukkur. The first is, during the largest por-
tion of the year, accessible in a few days from Bombay ;
the latter is, during the whole year, accessible in less
than three weeks from Ferozepore. We can besides
command the river by our steam-vessels, if we have a
sufficient number of them well adapted to the navigation,
"The misinterpretations placed upon some provisions
of the commercial treaty, and the various violations of
its letter and of its spirit, even while our armies were
in force in Sinde, satisfied me that, unless some penalty
were imposed upon the Ameers for such infractions of
their engagements, there could be no security whatever
for their future observance.

" I saw troops collected by the Ameers, contrary to
their usage, and without legitimate cause ; but such col-
lection of troops in the presence of a British army is, in
itself, an offence, and an indication of hostility not to be
misunderstood or overlooked.

" With respect to the authenticity of certain letters of
intavo, to thP or kis
agents, you will have observed how strongly rmprto
upon Sir Charles Napier the necessity of caution in
coming to a decision on that point. I had, however, the
fullest reliance upon his sense of justice ; and with this
reliance I felt that he, on the spot, with every opportu-
nity of personal commmunication with those conversant
with such matters, was infinitely more competent to form
a correct conclusion than I could be at Simla. To him,
therefore, I confidently remitted the question.
" I am satisfied with the grounds upon which he de-
cided that the letters were authentic.

" Major Outram's doubt as to the authenticity of the
letter of Meer Roostum Khan to the Maharajah Shere
Sing, appears to have rested upon the circumstances of
the party whose information led to the seizure of the
letter being inimical to Meer Roostum Khan ; but, as-
suredly, information tending to criminate Meer Roos-
tam could not be exp&ted from one of his friends.
Lieutenant Postans believed the document to be genuine:
Major Outram's suggestions to Mr. Clerk, as to the
use which might be made of the letter, could hardly
have been given, had he entertained a serious
doubt of its authenticity. Mr. Clerk never had the
opportunity of elucidating., in a personal conference with
the Maharajah, in which he thought it could best be
done, the doubts to which this letter and the intercepted
letter. to Dewan Sawan Mull, gave rise ; doubts which
in his mind must have had reference more to his
belief in the loyalty of the Maharajah, to whom the
letter was addressed by. Meer Roostum Khan,
than to his confidence in that of Meer Roostum, who
was unknown to him. Mr. Clerk truly observes, that
he does not think the question could, at any time, be
well judged of here,' that is, at Simla. I thought so too,
and therefore referred the question altogether to Sir C.
Napier, and the officers employed in Sinde.
" It appears, by Sir Charles Napier's letter of the 17th
November, that Major Outram had doubts whether Meer
Roostum was privy to the writing of the letter; but that
the letter had his seal, and was written by his con-
fidential Minister, there was no doubt. Lieutenant
Brown assured Sir C. Napier that there could not be the
slightest doubt of the authenticity of the letter. There
has been no officer employed in Sinde upon whose
opinion I would more confidently proceed than on that
of Lieutenant Brown. Everything that has come to my
knowledge, with regard to that officer, has tended to
make me entertain a feeling of great respect for his
ability and character.
" But while doubts have thus been thrown upon the
letter of Meer Roostum to the Maharajah, none have
been entertained with respect to the proposed agreement
between Meer Roostum and Meer Nusseer Khan, ' bind-
ing them to act together in every affair, whether for
good or evil, peace or war ;' which proposed agreement,
to the best of the judgment and belief of Major Outram,
is in the handwriting of Meer Roostum himself. When
that proposed agreement is considered, in connection
with Meer Nusseer's conduct, and with the collection of
troops, before any intimation was given to the Ameers
of any intention of proposing any modification of the
treaty, it is impossible to view it in any other light than
as an act of hostility.
" Thatthe letter of Meer Nusseer Khan to Boehm&
Boogtie bore his seal there can now be no doubt. The
seal upon that letter, by all before believed to be that of
Meer Nusseer, was found to correspond exactly with the
seal upon a letter of that Ameer, which bore also the
handwriting of his confidential moonshee.
" Much care appears to have been taken to investigate
all the circumstances attending the escape of Mahomed
Shurreef. It seems impossible to doubt the participation
of Meer Roostum's Minister in that escape of an enemy
to the British Government, proceeding to act hostilely
against us.
" I cannot admit the convenient doctrine that a chief
is not to be responsible for the act of his Minister. That
Minister, known to be so hostile to the British Govern-
ment, remained with Meer Roostum to the last.
" I have endeavoured to judge my own conduct as I
would that of another ; and I cannot think, in reviewing
it, that in the circumstances in which I stood, I was un-
justified in requiring from the Ameers the specific modi-
fications of their engagements, which I instructed Sir
Charles Napier to propose to them.
" Th4e modifications of the existing treaty involved
on our part the abandonment of a considerable revenue,
payable to us every year by the Ameers, under the
name of tribute. They involved, undoubtedly, the sa-
crifice, on their part, of lands of more than equivalent
value ; but the penalty imposed did not seem dispro-
portioned to the offence I had reason to believe they had
committed.
" You have been long in possession of the reason
which induced me to think that the abolition of tribute
was in itself a good. You have also long been aware
of the grounds on which I deemed it politic to
make a gift to the Nawab of Bhawulpore of
territory which formerly belonged to his state. Had
you disapproved of the general principles upon
which the new treaty proposed to the Ameers was
founded, still more had you disapproved of the intention
I had announced of holding military possession of certain
points upon the Lower Indus, after the evacuation of
A frghanistan, I presume that you would have acquainted
me with that opinion ;, in the absence of any intimation
to that effect, I had reason to suppose that a new treaty,
based-upon those principles, if legitimately obtainable,
would not be unacceptable
.to you.
" Had the Ameers seen • .fit to reject the treaty pro-
posed to them, and to support that rejection openly by
arms, tliey would. have, pursued a legitimate course,

and their defeat in fair fight would have admitted of
subsequent arrangements on the basis of their retaining
a portion of their territory, and the exercise of sovereign
authority ; but, from the first, while they of course
denied the correctness of the charges made against
them, they professed their willingness to submit to
the penalty imposed ; still they colected more troops.
At last, having drawn the British General into the
vicinity of Hyderabad, having then actually signed the
draft of the treaty, they, with a portion of their troops,
made a treacherous attack upon the residence of the
British Commissioner, and, with all their forces united,
they opposed the further advance of our army at
Meeanee.
"It would be to take an incorrect view of the
treachery of the Ameers were we to regard them, from
their first acquiescence in the proposed treaty, in the
first week of December, to the attack on the residency
on the 15th of Fehruary, as proceeding upon any other
principle than that of collecting all their forces to sur-
round and destroy our army, while they endeavoured
to deceive the General by professing their readiness to
submit.
" When Sir Charles Napier gained the battle of
Meeanee he had 22,000 men in his front ; but he had
also had for some days 10,000 men in his rear, who had
crossed the Indus to attack him.
" Such large assemblages of armed men cannot take
place in any country without much previous prepara-
tion. It was in this case a levy en masse of the ruling
tribe from every part of Sinde.
" Our first duty is to our own army; and it is duo to
that army that we should not forgive, or leave without
the most exemplary and deterring punishment, the far-
seeing and long-designing treachery by which its de-
' struction was to be effected.
" The example of the Affghans at Caubul was fol-
lowed by the Beloochees at Hyderabad; but the spirit in
which they were met was very different from that which
at Caubul led to the destruction of a British army.
" It was my duty to mark such conduct by an extent
of punishment which should be a warning to every chief
and people in India, which should give future security to
the persons of British Ministers, and protect British
troops from treacherous aggression.
" The battle of Meeanee entirely changed the posi-
tion in which the British Government stood with respect
to the Ameers of Sinde.
"To have placed confidence in them hereafter would
have been impossible.
" To have only exacted from them large cessions of
territory would have been to give them what remainea
as the means of levying war, for the purpose of regain-
ing what was ceded.
"Foreigners in Sinde, they had only held their power
by the sword, and by the sword they have lost it.
" Their position was widely different from that of a
native prince succeeding a long line of ancestors, the
object of the hereditary affection and obedience of his
subjects.
" They had no claim to consideration on the ground
of ancient possession, or of national prejudice. Certainly
they had none arising out of the goodness of that Go-
vernment. To take advantage of the crime they had
committed to overthrow their power, was a duty to the
people they had so long misgoverned.
"It was essential to the settlement of the country,
that I should take at once a decided course with respect
to the Ameers; and, having no doubt that I was justi-
fied in dethroning them, I determined on at once adopt-
ing and announcing that decision.
" Their removal from the country with which they
were no longer to be connected as Sovereigns was a mea-
sure of obvious expediency. It has apparently had the
beneficial effect I anticipated from it. The willing ac-
quiescence of the people in our rule, and the adhesion of
many of the chiefs to our Government, are already the
just rewards of an unhesitating and decisive policy,
which, in taking away every hope from the Ameers, has
given confidence to their late oppressed subjects.
" Some resistance on the part of the Ameers I regard-
ed as not an impossible event, and I considered that,
having once felt our strength, they might thereafter be
more strict observers of their engagements. Treachery,
such as that we experienced, had not come within my
calculations. A victory, decisive as that at Meeanee,
and gained under such circumstances, was to me a
wholly unexpected event. As I have said, it entirely
changed our position, and I was compelled at once to
decide what policy should be adopted in the new state of
things. I could not, for the reasons I have given, rein-
state the Ameers. Any other arrangement than I have
made would have imposed upon us all the burthen of
protecting a government, without affording us the means
of benefiting the people or ourselves. Any half mea-
sure would have failed. Adopting the decisive measure
of taking the province into our hands, I determined to

" The Ameers were removed beyond sea. All arrears of
revenue due to them on the day of the battle of Meeanee,
were remitted ; the transit duties were abolished ; the
neighbouring States of Joudpore and Jussulmere were,
as well as Bhawulpore, interested in the overthrow of
the Beloochees, by the intimation that their ancient pos-
sessions would be restored. The inhabitants of Sinde
were assured, by proclamation, that the property of all
who laid down their arms would be respected. As far
AS possible, the former officers of the Government were
employed, and everywhere as little change as possible
has been made, beyond that essential change of substi-
tuting justice for injustice in the administration. The
police has already attained some degree of efficiency.
The most able engineers will be employed for the pur-
pose of surveying, and of restoring, if it can be done, the
ancient water-courses, whereby the country was ferti-
lised, and especially that, first closed by the vindictive
and destructive policy of the rulers of Sinde, which once
gave prosperity to the dominions of our ally the Rao of
Cutch.
" The vast tracts which the Ameers have converted
into shikargahs will also be surveyed. Such of the
woods as it may be necessary to retain will be carefully
preserved ; and extensive portions of land, having the
richest soil, lately reserved for hunting grounds by the
Ameers, will be restored to cultivation.
" Some of these measures have originated with my-
self ; in others I have been anticipated by the Governor
of Sinde ; in all, I know I shall have his most cordial
co-operation.
" One of the measures which, in the first instance, I
adopted—that for the abolition of slavery—has produced
an extent of relief far beyond what I had expected. I
was by no means aware of the degree to which that
dreadful scourge of mankind had added to the misfor-
tunes of the people of Sinde.
"It is impossible to calculate the extent to which,
by opening ancient courses to the waters of the Indus,
and by extending the means of irrigation, we may im
prove the productiveness of the soil. As little can we
calculate the extent to which the assurance of protection
given to the people may. increase their industry, and
thus finally promote their prosperity. You may be as-
sured that no exertion of mine shall be wanting to make
the conquest of Sinde by the British arms no less the
source of happiness to the inhabitants of that country,
than of advantage to our own."

LONDON AND BRIGHTON
RAILWAY.

The half-yearly meeting of the Shareholders was held
at one o'clock yesterday, at the terminus, London-
bridge. The meeting was made special " for the pur-
pose of assenting to, or dissenting from, resolutions,
with reference to taking on lease one or two of both
lines of railway projected between Brighton and Hast-
ings, and between Shoreham and Chichester, and for
working the same by this Company."
John M. Parsons, the Chairman of the Company,
presided over the meeting.
The notice calling the meeting having been read,
The SECRETARY proceeded to read the report. It
stated that the receipts for ordinary traffic in the last
half-year, ending 31st December last, as contrasted with
the corresponding period of 1842, exhibited an increase
of 9,885/. Bs. 6d. There was a diminution of about
7,500/. in the working expenses ; the result of the whole
being an increase of net revenue of 17,3001. Agreeably
to the expectations held out at the last meeting, great
reductions had been carried out in the traffic depart-'
ment, and in other parts of the Company's expenditure.
The Directors of the South-Eastern Company, having
intimated, on the 29th of November, that they were
prepared to enter into negotiations, with a view to
lease the London and Brighton line, the Directors
intimated their willingness to consider any proposal which
might be made to them. On the 11th of January, the
South-Eastern Company offered a rent of 100,000/. a-
year for twenty-one years, upon condition that no COM-
petiug line were made. The Directors had informed
the South-Eastern Board that they had resolved not to
accede to the terms offered, but that they would submit
the proposal to the approaching general meeting. The
Shareholders were now invited to consider this offer.
The final account against the South-Eastern Company,
had been rendered, and the total amount of their claim,
exclusive of dividends, was 364,958/. 12s. 10d. A reso-
lution would be submitted authorising the Directors to
bring the matter to a settlement. The reduction of
fares made in August last, while the advantage to the
public was unquestionable, had not been at all preju-
dicial to the Company. The Report concluded as
follows :

" Since the last meeting mortgage bonds at 5 per cent., to
the amount of 20,000/., have fallen due, which the Directors
have renewed at 4 per cent.
" At the last General Meeting the Directors were deprived
of the satisfaction of proposing any dividend—on the con-
trary, it will be in the recollection of the Proprietors, that at
that time the adjustment of the interest account caused an
extraordinary charge of 19,4401. Os. 9d., which left a deficit
of 3,3031. 19s. 4d., to be provided for out of this half-year's
revenue, and the Proprietors will also observe an additional
charge to its debit of 1,245/. 17s. 6d.; for claims which arose
in former half-years ; but the Directors have endeavoured to
guard against future arrears of this kind, by adopting mea-
sures to enforce the punctual delivery of the accounts.
" The Directors propose a dividend of 1/. per share, amount-
ing to 35,1561., which will leave a surplus of 2,.,101. 18s. 11,1.
to the credit of the current half-year.
" Three of your Directors go out of office by rotation, at
