The decided superiority of this Medicine over every other
hitherto offered to the public for the cure of those dreadfully painful
diseases gout, r' eumatic gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, &c ,
is so fully manifested hy the increasing sale, and the testimony of
thousands in every rank of life, that those who are aware of th.. us-
istenc.;of such a remedy, and have not availed themselves of trying
its efficacy, cannot truly be objet sof sympathy. The test monials of
the astonishing effects of this medicine are universally accompanied
by the fact that no inconvenience of any sort attends its administra-
tion, bu• that the patient, without feeling the operation of the medi-
cine, is universally left in a stronger and better state of health than
experienced previous to being afflic'ed with this disease; and in all
cams of acute suffering great relief is experienced in a few hours,
and a cure is g,ner..lly effected in two or three days.

the option of selecting beacfits and converting policies so as best 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 fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested; and this bonus, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied In reduction of future
premiums .

IMPORTANT MEETING OF THE
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.

' An adjourned meeting tf the Repeal Association was held'
on Friday in the Conciliation Hall. At one o'clock Mr.
O'Connell, accompanied by Mr. Smith O'Brien, M.P., Mr.
John O'Connell, M.P., and other gentlemen, presented them-
selves, and were enthusiastically greeted. On the motion of
Mr. S. O'Brien, Charles O'Connell, Esq., of Ennis, was called
to the chair.

Mr. RAY read the following letter from Lord Shrewsbury :
"Alton Towers, April 29th, 1844.
"Sir,—l beg you will convey to the Loyal National Repeal
Association the high estimation in which I hold the honour
they have done me, and how warmly I cherish the far too
flattering terms in which their thanks have been conferred
upon nay endeavours to advocate the cause of Ireland. My
only hope is, that the agitation of the question, even upon
paper, may tend to good, as it must help to familiarise the
English public to the grievances and afflictions of the Irish
people, and gradually induce them to a livelier and more
earnest interest in their alleviation. -Would to God that their
eyes might be opened to the urgency and importance of the
question, and instead of treating it as a mere matter of jus-
tice to Ireland, be convinced how intimately their own wel-
fare is concerned in it.

" I will not attempt to express how deeply I feel the high-
minded and generous sentiments with which Mr. O'Connell
seconded the vote of thanks, as I have already acquainted
the Liberator' with my inability to do so.—l have the honour
to remain, Sir, with great respect, your humble 'servant,
" SHREWSBURY, WATERFORD, AND WEXFORD.
" T. M. Ray, Esq., &c., Sm.
" I have desired my bookseller to forward you a copy of
the second edition of the pamphlet, and which enters some-
what more fully into the subjects treated of in the first."
The letter of the Noble Earl was ordered to be entered on
the minutes.
It was announced that at the meetings to be held to oppose
Lord Eliot's Registration Bill, the Repeal question would not
be at all introduced.
Mr. O'CostsELL then rose to move that the Committees be.
instructed to prepare an address to the people of Ireland,
pointing out the plan on which they should act after the
present prosecutions. For his part, he did not think there
were any bad omens arising as to the future.—(Cheers.)
They were arrived at a crisis of no small difficulty, of con-
siderable danger, but of happy results if they only deserved
them ; a period fraught with great advantages to the country,
if the people of that country only continued faithful; if they
only remained uninfluenced by fear or timidity; if they
avoided the smallest approach to turbulence or riot, and did
not abandon the sacred cause of the liberty of their native
land.—(Cheers.) In investigating what course should be
taken at the present period—for the prosecutions would soon
come to an end—in investigating that course one of the
greatest consolations arose before him ; he embraced it
heartily; he cherished it dearly and affectionately; the con-
solation was this—there was a certainty that the peace
would not be broken. They were safe, therefore, on that
point ; but there never was a period in which the second part
of their motto was so necessary to be enforced and acted upon.
If they gave up the cause now—if they allowed themselves
to be swayed by idle fears, they would be defeated for at
least half a century. If they abandoned repeal at its present.
stage, no one could tell when it might be revived again—if
they abandoned repeal they would join with the Attorney-
General and Brewster.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) If they
abandoned the repeal agitation they would pronounce a worse
judgment against Ireland than the Queen's Bench could
possibly pronounce against the conspirators.—(Cheers.)! The
Learned Gentleman here went into an historical inquiry
to show that Ireland was entitled to a Parliament of her
own as much as England, and then proceeded to speak
at length of the many advantages which she possessed before
the union, the loss of which she now so much felt, and
how the union was obtained by fraud and corruption. He
went on to state, in continuation, that absenteeism, the
Church Establishment, want of a proper representation and
franchise, internal legislation, and want of a fixity of tenure,
&c., were some of the grievances under which she suffered,
and said he would, in reference to them, consider matters
which he thought would tend towards their remedy.
Having at some length gone into the history of the repeal
question, the Learned Gentleman proceeded to say that he
never wholly gave up its agitation from his outset in pub-
lic life, nearly half a century past ; yet there he stood a
" convicted conspirator," for acting conscientiously always
upon this one opinion, and in that position lie hurled his
contempt upon those who pledged themselves to re-
dress the grievances of this country, but who only
continued to invent means by which they could impose upon
her people additional burdens.—(Hear.) Many an injury
was done to Ireland, many
an insult was offered to Ireland,
but a greater injury—a more truculent insult had never yet had
been offered than by Lord Eliot's Franchise Bill.—(Hear, hear.)
He gave an analysis of the provisions of the Bill, pointed out
its defects, and stated them to be the consequences of " foreign
legislation." There were three things that he wished to do—
he would wish first to make them distinctly understand the
past history of the repeal cause; secondly, the present posi-
tion of the repeal agitation ; and, thirdly, their future pros-
pects.—(Hear.) He went rapidly over their past history,
and came to the events of the repeal agitation since 1830.
In 1834 lie was forced to bring the question before Par-
liament; and he remembered that in the division one Scotch
Member voted in favour of the measure, but not one Eng-
lishman. There were against them 550 Members, com-
posed of English, Irish, and Scotch, while there voted alto-
gether in favour of the question 44 Members, and the
one Scotchman whom he had secured, making 45. Upon
that occasion, however, the English Parliament came
the
d e
forward, and in a declaration made by the House of
Commons, and ratified by the House of Lords, they con-
jointly approved of it, and it was sanctioned by the King
It was to the effect that every effort should be used to
preserve the union inviolable, but that all the grievances
under which the country laboured should be redressed as
speedily as possible. That declaration had everything but
Cthoomrimtyo.hs, Itia was the form of law—everything but the sanction of legal au-
aasrasetmiohnivc:f
andthe Khiandg,
art.taoredhse,d toand
it all the usual obligations of an oath.—(Loud cheers.)
But that pledge had been violated.—(Oh, oh.) He (Mr.
O'Connell) did not like that the agitation should go down at
that time, knowing how difficult it would be, perhaps, to give
s deliberatet
it life and effect again. He, however, trusted them ; and in-
stead of redressing the grievances of Ireland, they had in-
flicted many more since.—(Cheers.) He was in the position
now to show the baseness of the English Parliament—to
show their gross violation of a solemn pledge—and to show
the people of Ireland that their only hope was repeal.—
(Cheers.) The prosecutions, or rather the persecutions,
brought him to the second part of what he had to say as to
the present state of the repeal cause. He had gone through
the motives that should induce persons to become re-
peelers; he had gone through the history of the past,
and he now came to the present state of the repeal
cause.—(Hear.) The first feature in it was the quantity
of the English sympathy they had obtained. His jour-
ney to England demonstrated that a large class of good
1 and wise men there were anxious to have justice done to
Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) Well, as to the next feature in these
prosecutions. He wanted to know what could be the result
in the first place? Possibly, judgment—possibly, and not
•improbably, imprisonment and fine. Well, they were ready
to be imprisoned, and if fined they were ready to pay the
fine.—(Cheers.) They mistook them much who speculated
on the ill health of some of the oldest amongst the traversers.
—(Loud laughter.) The only apprehension that could arise
on the subject would be the fretting and tormenting them by
reason of the imprisonment. There need be no apprehension
in his case, for he told them he never was more comfortable
in his own house than he would be in prison. —(Loud cheers)
He told them that no one pang of sorrow, or one
feeling of inconvenience should ever disturb the tran-
quillity of hi; mind, or mak 3 his blood circulate with more
than natural rapidity through his veins.—(Bear, hear.) He
had not the least notion—he would not condescend to use
the word apprehension—of not wearing out his time of im-
prisonment. There would be, to be sure, one sorrow that
could not be removed—an affliction that could not be soothed
—if either of two things happened—if either the people broke
the peace, or abandoned the agitation.—(Loud cheering.)
Let him anticipate, and conceive himself within the prison
cell, and there he pronounced in a loud voice, " Irishmen, as
you love your country be peaceable, loyal, tranquil—lrish-
men, remember you have a country, and let not the enemies
of that country triumph over you by your criminal apathy
in neglecting the cause now that I am within the prison
walls."—(Loud and continued cheering, and cries of "Never,
never.")
Mr. TEELE having addressed the meeting,
Mr. S. O'BRIEN said that he was a repealer, because he
saw there was no reasonable prospect of obtaining justice
from an Imperial Parliament.—(Cheers.) At present they
were labouring under a national prosecution—a prosecution
against the Irish nation—for he would not call it a prosecu-
tion against Mr. O'Connell and the other traversers.—(Hear,
hear.) He did not adopt the language used at many of
those meetings by individual gentlemen—he made every
allowance for them. He did not think it was any language
for which they ought to suffer an hour's imprisonment, but
he did hold himself responsible for their acts.—(Loud cheer-
ing.) He said this, that if Mr. O'Connell and the other
traversers deserved to be sent to gaol, he deserved to be sent
there too.— (Cheers ; and a voice, "And we.") He hoped he
was authorised to promise
• Mr. O'Connell, in their names, that
his heart would not be afflicted by any species of violence.—
(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") And he did, with equal
anxiety, implore of them to
allow him to give him the pledge
that they would not afflict his heart by the other alternative.

day afternoon in the vicinity of Claremont in a pony car-
riage.
Yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock, his Royal Highness
Prince Albert left Claremont on horseback, attended by
Colonel Wylde, Equerry in Waiting, and rode to Richmond.
his Royal Highness left Richmond in a travelling carriage
and four for town, and proceeded to the Hanover-square

influence on their positions. lonian was backed at one period
at 18 to 1, but went back a couple of points and finished
without friends, Orlando once more being in the ascendant.
A reported trial of Sir G. Heathcote's horses, in which Akbar
was second best, and Campanero beaten 100 yards; and from
which arose the offer of 40 to 1 mentioned in our last, would
appear to have been all moonshine, as nothing said or done

TRACTARIAN INSPECTORS OF
SCHOOLS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR—The Ministry, through a subservient majority,
have succeeded in throwing out Mr. Fox Maule s Bill.
The Scotch Universities are still to be branded with
religion tests. It matters little, perhaps, to the Free
Independent Church of Scotland ; but it may prove
fatal to the Established Church—the Church of the
minority.
While the Ministry impose this stigma upon Scot-
land, what, I ask, ought to be the feelings of England,
when it knows that open and avowed Tractarians of
the Oxford school have been appointed to watch over,
direct, and guide the education of the fourth of the
country ? I refer to the Gazette of the 19th of April
last, in which appeared the names of three additional
inspectors of schools, and amongst them was the name
of a clergyman of acknowledged and avowed High
Church, Tractarian views. Stockport will supply
the illustration.

Lord Wharncliffe, as President of the Council, is at
the head of the Educational Committee. To him be-
longs the responsibility of this appointment.
London, May 3, 1844. A PRESBYTERIAN.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.

GLOBE.—If Ministers were checkmated by the Court
of Directors, by the recal of Lord Ellenborough from
his Government, the powers of which he wike.e,ploy-
ing so as to peril the empire he was deputed " to" protect
and preserve, the Ministerial prints have also coma in
for their share of mortification. A successor has been—
not merely nominated, but agreed upon, without any
communication having passed between the Premier, the
President of the Board of Control, their secretaries, or
valets, and the offices of the Heral.l or the Standard!
Nay, to enhance the wonder, the Times—in its
privacy far removed from the means of intercourse
with those sources of information from which a know-
ledge of what is passing in such official circles is to
be obtained—that unknowing and unknown journal
actually announced that Sir IL Hardinge had been se-
lected to the vacant post, with the concurrence of the Ca-
binet and the Court of Directors ! The consternation in
the bureaux of the Standard and the Herald was ex-
treme. The Times had come between the wind and
their prerogative. The thing was deemed impossible.
The Standard first denied—then doubted—and at length
was compelled to admit that there was something in it ;
but that the initiative in the nomination of Sir Henry
Hardinge was taken by the Court of Directors ;
and that the announcement appeared in the
Times even before the circumstances of the
nomination were known at the Board of control
We believe that nothing is now more certain than that
the suggestion of Sir Henry Hardinge, as a suitable
successor to Lord Ellenborough, originated with the
Government; and that it was officially communicated
from the Board of Control to the East India Directory
on Thursday. On Friday morning the Chairman and
Deputy-Chairman of the Hon. Company had an interview
with the Earl of Ripon at his Lordship's villa at Putney,
his Lordship's state of health not allowing him to come
to town. On their return they had a conference with
Sir Robert Peel. At this conference everything of a pre•
-
liminary nature was settled; and nothing was left to be
done but the mere formalities of the appointment pre-
scribed by the Act of Parliament. Sir Henry Har-
dinge was, on Friday afternoon, informed of his nomi-
nation to the important post, with the cordial concur-
rence of the authorities whose assent to the appoint-
ment is essential to the validity of the act. This
explanation—founded, as it is, on the facts of
the case—at onee disposes of the Standard's second
edition statement, that the appointment of Sir
Henry Hardinge " was proposed by the Court of
Directors to the Queen's Government, without any
suggestion on its part"—the contrary being circum-
stantially shown to have been the fact. It equally de-
stroys the querulous mis-statement of the Herald, that
the Court of Directors "caused the conclusion of the
affair to be published, as they did (in the Times) before
it was concluded—namely, on Saturday morning,"—the
whole affair having been arranged, as we have shown, as
much as it is at this moment, on Friday afternoon.
The selection of Sir Henry Hardinge for the im-
portant post, and the general concurrence of all par-
ties in his suitableness, may be regarded as an earnest
of good to the various interests in the East, which have
been not merely injured, but jeopardised, by the " Bruink
magem Napoleon," who has alternately disgusted and
alarmed all thinking tneu who have watched his progress
from the hour of his landing in India to the fantastic
tricks he played on the plains of Gwalior. There his
Lordship obtained for himself—from the lips of a veteran
officer, a short time before he fell in the battle—the cog-
nomen by which he will be, in future, as well known as
by the title of his rank.
STANDARD.—Sir Henry Hardinge is to be the suc-
cessor of Lord Ellenborough, as Governor-General of
India. We owe an apology to the Times for having
treated its announcement of Saturday as a guess. Our
Contemporary had, no doubt, its information from some
of the Directors, who were too well pleased with their
happy and successful expedient for getting rid of
the worst consequences of their great indiscretion,
not to be anxious to make it public as soon as
possible. The expedient was a happy one, and the
country has reason to rejoice that the Government, how
justly soever offended, freely accepted a proposition
eminently calculated to promote the interests of the em-
pire, and to avert a serious calamity not obscurely
threatened by the late act of indiscretion. When the
Duke of Wellington pronounced upon the indiscretion of
the act in question, and when the Premier warned the
Directors that they must submit to the responsibility of
all its consequences, some prompt and prudent measure
of reparation became necessary to preserve to the au-
thorities of Leadenhall-street an authority resting upon
such questionable grounds of policy and justice as that
which they had lately exercised—so indiscreetly
exercised. To revoke the resolution of recal
would be strict justice to Lord Ellenborough,
and it is, perhaps what we should have urged, had
we been advisers in the case. But though that would
be the proper amende to the insulted Governor. General,
it might not, perhap,, be the course which a prudent
policy would recommend, or of which an administration
like Sir Robert Peel's could approve. As a gentleman
and a man of honour, the Governor-General, though he
might forgive, could not forget the slight passed upon
him, or continue even nominally in the service, and still
at the mercy of those who had offered it, even could a
Government be effectually administered by a joint au-
thority, in which such jealousy had manifested itself on
the one part. The revocation could make no difference in
Lord Ellenborough's obedience to the original resolution
of recal. The effect of this course, then, would be,
to prolong very considerably the mischievous and dan-
gerous interregnum in the government of India, and to
leave the matter open for angry debates. By going out
of their way to offer an unexceptionable successor to the
present Governor-General, the Directors have, as far as
possible, obviated this ill consequence of their indiscre-
tion, and, with some skill, thrown upon the Government
the responsibility of any interruption in the succession
of Governors. A Government less wise and pa-
triotic than Sir Robert Peel's might have yielded
to the influence of resentment, but the Pre-
mier was alive to the vast public interests at
stake, and the Governor-General chosen sponta-
neously by the Directors (and probably chosen in
some measure for that reason) being the very man whom
he himself would have selected, he postponed all other
feelings and considerations to the good of the common-
wealth, and accepted the proposition. Of the qualifica-
tions of Sir Henry Hardinge for the high office to be
conferred upon him, there is, we believe, no second opi-
nion in the country. Even the Opposition journals,
while they givo a very sulky assent to his appointment,
are compelled to acknowledge in him qualities precisely
the best adapted for the effectual discharge of the im-
portant duties about to devolve upon the Right Hon.
Secretary at War.

We learn that Sir Henry Hardinge will depart for
India as soon as his private affairs will admit ; and most
likely he will have embarked with his family by the second
week in the ensuing month. Sir Henry's appointment will
cause a vacancy for the borough of Launceston.
EXPORT or VEGETABLES. The prevalence of
fine, warm, sunny weather has brought forward the
spring in East Yorkshire and North Lancashire, full
fourteen days earlier than usual. This, coupled with
some advantages of soil and the skill of our neighbour-
ing nurserymen, has at length enabled us to reverse the
tables, for whereas one of the earliest advantages of
steam, first between London and this port, and after-
wards to and from the Continent, was the importation
of fruit and vegetables from the Kentish gardens, and
subsequently from llamburgh, Rotterdam, and Ant-
werp, we have at length found men amongst the
market-gardeners and' nurserymen, within a circuit of
eight miles round Hull, who have not only beaten
Kent and the Continent in their arrival in our market

burgh, who has at command the productions of the
luxuriant gardens which surround that city. Another
I lot was quickly dispatched by rail to Halifax, in the
West Riding; but that which deserves, perhaps, the
chief mention, was the exportation of four dozen of these
"flowers" by the Princess Victoria steamer for Ant-
werp, where it was not doubted they would meet with a
ready sale, as several of them measured about fourteen
inches in diameter, and weighed 71b. each.—Eastern

INDIA AND CHINA.:
By the Overland Mail we have intelligence fromi:3":'
Bombay to the Ist of April, from Calcutta and Agra
to the 22d of March, and from Madras to the 23d of
the same month, and from China to the 24th of Feb-
ruary. The news altogether is very favourable.
Sinde was perfectly tranquil, and the sickness among
the troops had entirely disappeared. We are glad
also to learn that the dissatisfaction evinced by several
of the native regiments, on receiving marching orders
fur that country, had been removed by well-timed
tind judicious arrangements. A Government notifi-
cation was issued on the 12th of March, regulating
the compensation to be given to the Sepoys, and
granting to the troops the field allowances of Ilin-
dostan. All cause of alarm had ceased, and most of
the troops wore on their march for the Indus. The
ex?ense of this additional pay will not exceed 50;000/.
—a matter of no consequence when compared With
the fidelity of the Indian army. The Governor-
General had issued an order, by which all the troops
who had served in Sinde at the period of the battles of
Meeanee and Hyderabad, are to receive twelve months'
batta. From Lahore the intelligence is not so favourable.
A civil war was raging in that country, and Akbar
Khan, taking advantage of the circumstance, was
preparing to march upon Peshawur. He may pro-
bably advance farther, and the Lahore chief will then
apply for protection to the Governor-General. Sir
Hugh Gough will thus find employment for his
brave troops in the Punjaub, and we trust settle old
scores with this treacherous and cruel chieftain.
Gwalior was tranquil; indeed, the whole of the
British territory in containing a population of
150,000,000, was in profound peace. The news
from China is not important. Sir N. Pottinger re-
mained at Hong-Kong, and was engaged in making
regulations for the trade at the new ports.
GENERAL ORDERS BY THE RIGHT 110 N. THE
GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA INliam, COL"SCI h
L-
Fort Wil Marc
In order to remove the misunderstanding which is appre--
hended to exist with respect to the allowances drawn by
troops in Sinde, while in cantonments, the Governor-General
in Council deems it expedient to make known, that the allow-
ances drawn by troops in Sinde, while in cantonments, are
the same as those drawn by troops in Hindostan while in the
field.
Further, the lines of troops in Sinde being different in czei-
struction from those in Hindostan and more expensive, they'
have been erected at the public charge.
It is known to the troops, that when the price of ottali
is
above 15 seers the rupee, compensation in money for the ex-
cess of price is now given to them at the rate of a seer a-Clay
for each man.
With the view of providing, as is done in her Majesty'[
service, that the soldier's ration shall never cost him more
than a fixed moderate sum, the Governor-General in Council
thinks it expedient to extend the principle of giving compen-
sation in money in the case of high prices to the other minor
articles composing the Sepoy's ration; and it is accordingly
notified, that whenever the price of dholl is above ten seers
the rupee, that of ghee above two seers the rupee, and that
of salt above eight seers the rupee, compensation money for
the excess of price will be given to the troops at the rate of
two chittacks of dholl, one chittack of ghee, and one-third of
a chittack of salt a day for each man.
This rule is made generally applicable to the troops of All
the Presidencies.
The Governor-General in Council considers it right that
in Sinde, as elsewhere, there should be a difference between
the allowances given to the troops in cantonments and those
given to them in the field; and in practice this has been the
case, for the extra allowance called " money rations," that
is, ie allowance of rations or of their equivalent in money in
excess of pay and full batta,•tvas withdrawn during the years
1840 and 1841, when the troops in Sinde were in canton-
ments without an enemy in the field, was again granted from
the Ist of January, 1642, when extensive movements became
again necessary, and was again withdrawn from the Ist of
July last, when the troops went into cantonments, and no
enemy was in the field.
Sinde being now permanently annexed to the British domi-
nions, the Governor-General in Council deems it better to
define, by a general rule, the future allowances of troops
serving in that province, than to vary the amount from time
to time, according to circumstances, by special and occasional
directions. Accordingly, his Lordship in Council now notifies,
that troops in cantonment in Sinde will continue to draw the
same allowances which are drawn in the field in Hindostan,
and that rations, or their value in money in excess of pay and
full batta will be given to troops in Sinde under the same
circumstances under which field allowances are now drawn in
Hindostan.

The Snide allowances will only commence when the troops
reach the Sinde frontier.
An official translation of this order will be transmitted to
every regiment in the service.
J. STUART, Lieutenant-Colonel,
Secretary to the Governthent: of India, Military Department.
RESOLUTION.
Foreign Ileortment, Fort William, Feb. 28.
1. The Governor-General in Council not having yet re-
ceived any instructions relative to the disposal of the prize
• property captured in Sinde, and taking into consideration the
distingished services of the troops engaged in the battles of
Maharajpore and Punniar, is pleased to resolve, that'all the
general and other officers, non-commissioned officers and pri
vates, engaged in the battles of Meeanee, Ilyderabad, Maha-
rajpore and Punniar, shall receive a gratuity of six months'
batta, as a testimony of the gratitude of the Government,
and of the admiration with which it regards their conduct
in the field.

2. The Governor-General in Council, taking also into con-.
sideration that it is not only in the field that good soldiers
prove their sense of military duty, but that those who at the
command of the Government encounter readily and endure
with fortitude peculiar hardships arising from climate, from
privation, or from disease, may equally with those who meet
danger in the field, become entitled under extraordinary cir-
cumstances to receive some special marks of approbation and
regard—taking further into consideration the very extra-
ordinary and unusual sickness which has prevailed in Sinde
during the past year, and the consequent sufferings of the
troops quartered in that province, is pleased to resolve, that
all the general and other officers, non-commissioned officers
and privates, who have at any time served in Sinde; during
the year commencing on the 28th of February, 1843, shall re-
ceive a gratuity of six months' batta.
The troops engaged in the battles of Meeanee and Hydera-
bad are entitled to the gratuity given by both the above re-
solutions, and will therefore receive twelve months' batta.

SINDE.
(From the Bombay Times of Monday, April 1, 1844.)
Our latest intelligence from the Indus is of the 25th of
March, being five weeks later than that dispatched by the
steamer of the Ist ult. From the country itself it is alto-
gether unimportant ; as relating to the troops destined for the
country, it is at once important and unsatisfactory. On the
17th of February Sir R. and Lady Sale left Sukkur • on taking
leave of the gallant 13th, he said that he had hoped to march
into England at the head of his regiment, but fate had
ordered it otherwise : he trusted that when they did arrive
he might meet them. The gallant veteran reached Kurachee
in safety, and was treated with the spectacle of reviews and
such other entertainments as he would accept of. He left
this on the 9th and arrived at Bombay on the 13th. He
was here invited to a ball and supper by the public, but de-
clined, in consideration of the state of his health and limited
nature of his stay. He left by the True Briton on the 18th.
On the 10th a fearful hail-storm occurred at Sukkur; the
wind blew a hurricane for some hours, and pieces of _ ice the
size of partridges' eggs fell with the noise and violence of spent
grapeshot, breaking down trees and houses, penetrating tents,
and destroying temporary buildings. It lasted for about an
hour, when the ground was covered with ice nearly ancle
deep. It extended over an area of little more than two
miles, and the natives considered it a providential visitation
upon Sukkui, as having supplied the first footing in Sinde
to the Feringhees. At Sukkur the force amounted to 1,892,
of whom 146 were sick. At Shikarpore there were 1,015 men,
of whom 54 only were in the hospital in the beginninf the
month. The 9th and 55th Native Infantry were about%
regi-
ments for Ferozepore, when the refusal of the Bengal
to march for Sinde disturbed the arrangements

his aversion to them appears to have sprung up when they
began to exercise the privilege of criticism, and to express
the opinions of some nine-tenths of the officers of the British
army in India in condemnation of the conquest on the
achievement of which he had chosen to found his fanie. The
appointment of Mr. Raikes, an unpassed Ensign of three
years standing, to the Sinde Irregular Horse, seems to be
viewed as rather a rankish job by the army. The troops
quartered in Sinde amounted in the beginning of the month
to 14,358 ; those in Cutch, close by, to 1,394; and about one-
tenth only are on the sick list. Colonel Squire, of her Ma-

It seemed singular that a country within three days sail of
the port of Bombay, should be garrisoned by troops whose
supplies from their own head-quarters would take three
months to reach them, and who were to have thew depots
for home recruits, their hospitals and sanatorium, at:another
presidency. But so it was decreed. In this case " the King
had said sail, but the winds said nay." The disturbances in
the Punjanb, and threatened troubles in Gwalior, caused the
Bengal troops. to be arrested on their march ; and; though
assured by Sir C. Napier in November that they would
be
in their own presidency in a month, the conquering army
continued to be detained near the scene of their victories.
Further military movements on the north-west frontier hav-
ing delayed the execution of the arrangements gatetted so
