taly, the best disciplined, the most renowned, and the bravest
of its people. The Affghans, the Beloochees, and the Mah-
rattas are enemies by whose defeat equal numbers would have
rendered glorious; whose dispersion by forces far inferior in
strength evinces the irresistible prowess of our Eastern
troops. At a moment then when detraction and party spite
arc at work to depreciate Lord Ellenborough's administration,
let us do justice to his rule by reminding the public of the
victories with which he has adorned the history of British
India.

RECAL of LORD ELLENBOROUGH.

1. On the 30th of August, 1842, General Nott, with only
one-half his force, defeated Shunshoodeen, the Affghan Go-
vernor of Ghuznee, and 12,000 Affghans, at Gonine, thirty-
one miles south-west of that fortress.

THE IRISH STATE TRIALS.
DUBLIN, THURSDAY.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

Shortly after eleven O'clock the Judges took their
seats on the bench. Mr. O'Connell and the other tra-
versers were present. The Court was completely
filled. The Attorney and Solicitor-General, and
nearly all the counsel engaged in the trial, were
present.
Mr. WHITESIDE then rose and moved for a new
trial, on several grounds. The first ground was, that
there was no such person on the jury as John Rigby,
the gentleman who impersonated him being John Jason
Rigby, who was neither on the panel nor summoned
to attend. He cited a considerable number of cases,
to convince the Court that but eleven jurors actually
tried the late issue. His next had reference to the
" abstraction" of names from the jury list, then to
the judge's charge, next to the evidence which was
admitted for the prosecution. lie argued,. at great
length, that the violent ballad sold at Mullaghmast
should not have been received in evidence. At the
time the Court rose, Mr. Whiteside had not finished
his law argument. He will resume his address to-
morrow morning, and, from all appearances, it will
be a long affair.

tomers and the Public that helms commenced killing BUCK VENI-
SON for the Season. •

2. an the sth of September, 1842, the same gallant com-
mander drove the Affghaus who had, between that date and
his previous victory, been reinforced by considerable arrivals
from Caubul, under Sultan Jan, from the mountains, the for-
tresses, the ravines and gardens which protected Ghuzuee,
and took and destroyed_ the city.

NATRYNAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR-
ANCE SOCIETY,
26, CORNIIILL, LONDON.
Capital £500,000.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as beet to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging lily-five per cent. on the
amount already invested ; anal this bonus, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future
premiums

_3. On the Bth of. September, 1842, General Pollock gained
a complete victory over the troops of Akbar Khan and the
Ghilzie chiefs at Jugdulluck.

4. On the 13th of September, 1842, General Pollock again
defeated Akbar at the head of 16,000 men in the pass of Te•
zeen, and was thereby enabled to march unmolested through
the Khoord Caubul pass, and to occupy Caubul on the 16th
of September.
5. On the 14th and 15th of September, General Nott again
chastised his former antagonists Shunshoodeen and Sultan
Jan, who had, at the head of a large army, intercepted his
march on Benee Badam and Mvdam.
6. On the 29th of September General M'Caskill totally de-
feated the numerous levies under the command of Ilassen
Khan, the murderer of poor Burnes, and other Kohistan
chiefs, and took and destroyed the strong town of Istalif.
7. On the 15th of March, 1843, Major Outram, with a
handful of men, saved the British residency at Hyderabad
against 8,000 Beloochees, accompanied with six pieces of
cannon.

8. On the 20th of Marc] Sir Charles Napier, 'with only
2,800 men of all arms, and 12 pieces of artillery, on a most
disadvantageous position, totally defeated at Meanee the
Ameers of Sinde, with 22,000 Beloochees, supported by 15
cannon, and with woods, apparently not to be turned, on

:heir flank.

....
9. On the 24th of March, reinforced by Stack's brigade,
Sir Charles Napier, with 5,000 troops, again routed, after
three hours' desperate resistance, nearly 20,000 Beloochees,
under the Ameer of Meerpoor, four miles from Hyderabad.
10. On the 29th of December, 1843, General Sir Hugh
Gough, commanding the "army of exercise," signally de-
feated, at Maharaj, 17,000 Mahratta insurgent troops, most
advantageously posted, with the loss of 3,ooomen, 56 cannon,
and the whole of their camp appointments. •
11. And on the same day General Grey, at the head of the
Bundlekund army, attacked and routed at Punniar, other
12,000 Mahratta rebels, and also captured their equipments.
Here, then, within a period of sixteen months, has our
Anglo-Indian army, under Lord Ellenborough's administra-
tion, gained no fewer than ten pitched battles over the most
warlike, best prepared, and determined soldiers of Asia. if
military glory and renown can immortalise his governmentof India, it will descend to history recorded in the brightest
pages of our Eastern annals. Nor are even these victories
all : the superintendence of our war against China was also
immediately consigned to Lerd Ellenborough ; and the effi-
ciency and success of our armament in the Chinese seas were
not a little owing to his adequate preparations for its vic-
tories. Let who will be Lord Ellenborough's successor, he
will find future glory difficult of acquirement after these
achievements. And it is because of these victories Lord
Ellenborough is defamed, maligned, and aspersed. So, alas,
were Clive, Hastings, And Wellesley, in their days. An
Auckland, who brought shame and disgrace on our arms, is
the model of perfection : an Ellenborough, who has vindi-
cated the ancient and exalted the modern fame of our arms,
is decried as an imbecile. Such is faction ! Let it not be
thought that these victories have distracted Lord Ellenbo-
rough's attention from the duties of peace. Under his admi-
nistration slavery has been practically abolished throughout
British India ; the execution of those great public works
which Lord Auckland was compelled to suspend has been
recommenced ; a thorough investigation into the financial
state of India has been undertaken ; and a notification has
been issued that the last remaining restriction on commerce
will be forthwith abolished.
ADVERTISER.—Both. Houses of Parliament were last
night taken by surprise, on its being announced that the
Court of Directors of the East India Company had recalled
Lord Ellenborough from the Governor-Generalship of India.
The particulars connected with this unexpected circumstance
have not transpired. This is the first occasion in which the
