He (Mr. Gibson) presumed that me that oeisAiiini ihe. Right -
Hon. Baronet alluded to that grant of 20,0E4..0004
with regard to that difficulty which it was aliegesl hed sem.

he given to the colonists at large, he would ask any man in
that House whether it was reasonable to give that compensation
to other parties than those who complained of the grievance?
Was there not a complaint from the East Indies or the Alauri-
ties, or some or the West India islands, that they had suffered
ft om a want of labour by the legislai ion of that House,' and yet
they proposed to give this sum of money, indiscriminately
divided amongst a number of parties, any of whom never
pretended to have any claim to the pi oteetion of that House.
If they were to vote that 2,300,000/. in an indirect and un-
satisfactory manner, let them, at any rate, vote it to those who
pretended to have a claim ; and do not let them give it indis-
criminately to parties who had no claim whatever,
beyond their being West Indian proprietors. It wag
well known that labour in British India —and leis Hon.
Friend the Aleneber for Finsbury would concur with hill in
the staterni nt —that in no part of the habitable globe 'was
labour mon- abundant or more (-heap than in British India ;
and he believed he was equally correct in saying ;that
in the 11Iauritius there was also a surplus of labour, and
that, in fact, the labourers were wandering about
there in search of employment, so great was the
number of coolies imported there. This was a point which
was not to be lost sight of in the event of the House deeming
it right to vote this large sum of money to those Wert India
pro;irie tors, en the grounds of reimbursement. would not
be right to vote any portion of this sum to the East Indies, be-
cause there was abundance of labour to be had there. The
island of Barbadoes was actually overflowing with labour,
and, therefore, it would not be right to grant any portion
of the money to the growers of that island. Neither were the
growers in British India, or in the Mauritius, or in Antigua,
entitled to any share of it. And what portion, then, was left
amongst whom it was to be shared, if those were lft out? They
were reduced to very few indeed ; and even reduced
as that number were, he would ask the Hnuse
to consider whether ever they would be entitled to
any portion of those two millions. What was the
alleged grievance of which those growers corn' lained, in refe-
rence to this defliciency of labour?

INDIA AND CHINA.

Dispatches have been rt ceived from India and China, in
anticipation of the mail which left Calcutta on the Bth
ult.,—the Arat of the sesies Ito be eontiesect
a month. The mail was brought to Suez
by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's ship
Hindostan, and arriv&d there on the 4th instant,
having left Madras on the 13th, Ceylon on the
18th, and Aden on the 28th ult. She brought also no less
than ninety passengers.
The news by this mail is of rather more importance
and interest than the overland mail has. brought for
some months. Tho Punjaub
,is again in commotion.
A revolution broke out, and Heera Singh, the Raja,
and Jella Pundit, have been killed. As usual,
there are several accounts of the cause, &c., but the
fallowing is said to be the most authentic:—From
the very ill-feelinc, that has existed for some time
between the mother of the Maharaja and Heera
Singh, an explosion was looked for, sooner or later,
as inevitat,le. She applied to Heera Singh for
some command of trust for her brother, and was backed
in her demand so warmly by the council of the army,
usual on such occasions, that Heera got alarmed, and
put off the matter until next day, before daylight of which
he was on his way, with 800 troops, to some place in the
vicinity of Jumboo. The Khalsa troops in Lahore, on
hearing this, pursued him, and, on coming up, killed
him, Jella Pundit, and several others of the Raja's ad-
herents. The heads of the Raja and Jella Pundit were
brought to Lahore, and carried in procession round the
streets. The next day salutes were fired, and the mo-
ther of the Maharaja held a durbar. The English Go-
vernment had, it was believed, no idea of interferingin
this instance (though the time may not be far off when
it will be obliged to do so), not being in the slightest
bound to assist or uphold either party or Ministry.
A revolution had taken place also in Nepaul, but from
the circumstances it is generally believed that it was a
got-up affair. The Raja had promist.d to abdicate in
favour of his son. When the time came he refused, on
which the son, assisted by some chiefs, deposed him.
The new Raja is only seventeen years old, and an idiot.
The Government would be compelled to interfere. The
war, how ever, was expected to be one of diplomacy rather
than of arms.

f Sickness still prevails among the Highlanders at
Sukkur. They were to be removed immediately.
Thore had been rather a serious disturbance at Hong-
Kong in consequence of a registration decree issued by
Government, which was resisted by the Europeans, who
in an address to Council styled it as " iniquitous, arbi-
trary, unconstitutional, and despotic." A good deal of
bickering was the result between Government and the
Europeans, as the former refused to answer the addreis.
Three thousand Chinese left the island, and .at.laat'the
Government deemed it fit " to amend and modify" the
registration ordinance. There were still, however, some
articles in the " modified" decree which were objection-
able; for instance, that of obliging all Chinese vessels to
report themselves immediately, and to register their
passengers within twenty-four hours. The consequence
of this is, that while Macau is crowded with junks, few
or none have come to Hong-Kong. Most of the Chinese
atllrtnfr of near re;-
lation is totally without confirmation.
The removal of Colonel Oirram is altogether de-
nied by the Delhi Gazette of the 24th ultimo. It de-
scribes, " on competent authority," the act to have been
purely voluntary on his part, as from the be ;inning he
had undertaken the duty of inquiring into the causes of
the disturbances in the Alahratta country as merely a
temporary affair, having been promised by his own Go-
vernment.some lucrative position in the Baroda Presi.
dency, and that he declined the office of permanent Eu-
ropoan agent of the Kolapore country, offered him by
Sir G. Arthur, subject, of souse, to the approval of the
Supreme Government, The Bombay papers speak of
his going to Europe by this mail
The news by the last mail of the honours conferred on
the late Governor, Lord Ellenborough, had been received
with delight by the army, and had met with great cen-
sure on the other side by those ur.friendly to him.
The non-arrival of the ships Runnymede and-Briton,
the former from London with recruits, and •the latter
from Sydney with a detachment of her Majesty's 80th
Regiment, and nine officers, together with all the mess
plate, is causing great uneasiness, and great fears are
entertained for their safety. The Company's steamer
Enterprise had been sent in search of them. Some of
the ex-Arneers of Sinde proceeded by the Hindostan
to Europe.
The first opium sale was held on the 6th ult. ; the
prices were lower than was expected ; the average of
Patna being about 1,235 rupees, and the Benares 1,067.
The largest sale of indigo ever held in India took place
the day before the departure of the mail. 1,683 chests
were sold, and the prices were uncommonly good.
Prince Waldemar, of Prussia, had reached Calcutta a
few days before the departure of the mail.
The Precursor steam -ship, from London, arrived at
Calcutta on the 25h of December. Her average speed
throughout the voyage from Southampton was si knots
an hour.
