LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 1845.

On Monday evening Lord JOHN RUSSELL brought
forward his promised series of resolutions, which, though
nominally limited to a review of the condition of the

abouring classes, embraced a great variety of other

topics. These topics were, many of them, of an interest
almost equally extensive to such as the Currency, the
Corn Laws, and Free Trade. His speech also embraced
a searching inquiry into the condition of education
among the people generally ; but this subject is so legi-
timately connected with any attempt to consider the con-
dition of the poor, that we should not venture to discuss
the one without the other. From this description of
Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S speech, our readers will readily
understand that it would not be very practicable to con-
dense such observations as we may desire to offer upon
it, within the limits of a single article. Sir JA3IES
GRAHAM passed this well-merited eulogium upon it ;
that in justice to the Noble Lord he felt bound to say
that anything more worthy the great subject it dealt
with, or more comprehensive in its views than the
speech of the Noble Lord, he had never heard in

that House. It was totally devoid of all party
feeling, or any acrimonious assertion,. To this
high prai;e it was certainly entitled ; and from
that very conviction we are as anxious to parti-
cularise its more prominent merits as to express with
caution, and all the respect duo to such a gifted speaker,
the occasional points as to which we find ourselves un-
able to arrive at the same conclusions which he has re-
corded. Impossible as it will be on the present occasion
to do more than throw a comprehensive glance over the
general effect of this admirable address, owing to the
pressure of much matter of immediate interest, we
cannot refrain from expressing the gratification
we have derived from the indications this
speech everywhere abounds with, of a deep and
anxious solicitude for the welfare of the in-
dustrial classes. Lord Jousr RUSSELL speaks like
a man alive to the wrongs which this invaluable class of
the community have long endured, and bent on a vigor-
ous and chivalrous effort to retrieve there from their
pressure in future. On the question of the course to be
taken in providing for the general education of the poor
we are proud to find his Lordship concurring in a prin-
ciple we have so lately argued in relation to that point.
Ile expresses broadly his conviction that any mea-
sures fur the moral or intellectual improvement of
the poorer classes, to be attended with success, must be
preceded by adequate provision for their physical im-
provement, and especially of their food, subsistence, and
lodging. It certainly does appear a romantic com-
mencement of any scheme of popular amelioration—
where the distress to be remedied is extensively diffused
and of the most sordid and disorganising character, and
its causes imbedded deeply in by by-gone errors of po-
litical legislation and social usages—to grapple with the
choice of abstract principles to be adopted in the
discipline and training of men's minds, whilst their
bodies are exhausted by inanition, suffering, and
disease. What are class books and interesting
lessons in light or instructive literature to
them, whilst they themselves are starving, and their
families are sinking around them, under the double
pressure of want and domestic misery? With regard to
the Noble Lord's statistics of wages and prices, in their
reciprocal relations to one another, we cannot entirely
concur in the results which he draws from his
own premises. Into that larger question, how-
ever, we will net now enter ; and we forbear, for
the present, from contesting, as we should feel
bound and prepared to do, the Noble Lord's views
of the action of the Bank Restriction Act of 1797, at the
time, and ever since, on the wages-of labour and the con-
dition of the labouring population. It is with all sub.
mission go sort of proof that the present wages of la-
bour are not greatly below a fair remunerating, or even
a bare living standard in some of the largest branches of
agricultural and manufacturing employment, that it

appears from Mr. Dent's tables that wages are much
the same now, with corn at a moderate price,
as they were in 1801, for instance, with corn at
the famine price of 115 s. per quarter. It is clear
that the Noble Lord omits out of his calculation the
enormously increased burden of indirect taxation now
borne by the labourer, and the consequent reduced
amount of necessaries and all other consumable articles
which the same nominal sc,tle of wages now represents.
The consideration of this incident in the condition of in-
dustrial labour in this country—of the operation upon
it of the altered standard of currency established by Sir
R. PEEL in 1819, and of the corn-laws, we must defer
to a future but early opportunity. Connected with the
question of corn-laws, we cannot deny ourselves the
pleasure of noticing the manly and candid language in
which the Noble Lord acknowledged the discrepant}
between his present convictions touching the expediency
of a graduated scale of protecting duties. We shall
speedily recur to them, and to his argument in favour
of a fixed low duty of 45., 55., or Gs. per quarter.

The discussion of Friday evening last, like its prede-
cessor, in the beginning of the weck, on the navy esti-
mates, was again productive of many important revela-
tions connected with the past and present administra-
tion of our navy. If the plain speaking and somewhat
homely rebukes to which Sir C. NAPIER is in the habit
of treating the Board of Admiralty, whenever the busi-
ness before the House of Commons suggests an oppor-
tunity, be disagreeable to the Lords Commissioners, and
perhaps occasionally somewhat indiscreet as respects
the interests of the public service (and it is very
doubtful whether they are fairly amenable to this
latter objection), they are evidently producing, and
will continue to produce, the most beneficial re
sults upon the efficiency and strength of the ser
vice.

The Gallant Commodore, too, has been ably
seconded, as we have before had occasion to remark,
by such distinguished practical authorities as Captains
BERKELEY, PECIIELL, Rous, and by Lord INGESTRE ;
and his Lordship's suggestions on Friday night, on
the subject of the establiThment of a scientific board, ex-
clusively constituted for considering and reporting upon
all new inventions, pr,jects of improvement, &c., in
connexion with the construction, rigging, and sailing of
our ships of war, are well entitled to the most attentive
consideration. His Lordship now declares that which
we should scarcely have inferred from a speech of his in
the beginning of the week—namely, " rhat the office of
surveyor of the navy involves a much greater amount of
responsibility than ought to vest in any one man. That
to expect all the ships in ordinary and in active service

to he properly superintended by one individual,
seemed to him quite unreasonable." This is the
very complaint which they have made, who
have most tenaciously impugned the "intuitive" system
or ship building which Sir W. SYMONDS has been per-
mitted, at such vast expense to the country, with such
uninterrupted fatuity on the part of successive Admi-
ralty Boards, and with results so generally remarkable
for their utter failure or their costly worthlessness, to
indulge in. But of the Surveyor-General's ships a word
or two more presently. We would here repair an
omission in our argunmit of last week on the absurdity
as well as the mischief of undermanning ships of the
line at any time ; but, when they are to be em-
ployed iu an experimental squadron, most parti-
cularly. We would ask, if the crews of such
a squadron cannot do the duty of able seamen,
what is the value of the teat which eteir working
of these ships, built on " various principles," can supply ?
This scheme is like an attempt to ascertain the respec-
tive pace and bottom of so many untried racers by the
riding of so many untried or awkward jockies. What
man in his senses would lay out his money on their
future performances upon a consiikration of the results
of such a trial ? It your steed is a good one, it will pav
you to have the best riders. If your ships are worth
anything like what the Admiralty, or their faith in the
judgment of the Surveyor of the Navy, contend that
they are, it is worth your while to man them with a
competent proprtion of able seamen. Only varied by
its greater extent, surely the same argument applies to
our navy at large. Nor does Sir GEORGE COCKBURN
dispute that fact. So far from it, he declares that—

"The advantage of having the ships on foreign service
•well manned was, that the men were rendered most efficient

seamen, and they had a fleet in a fit condition to meet an
enemy."
" But"—and when we came to this " but," we were
really anxious to find what was to be the qualification of
the preceding position, to which we so cordially sub-
scribe:—

" But, unless public affairs wore a very threatening aspect,
he did not think that, in a time of peace, this country should
be put to the expense of maintaining a larger fleet than was
necessary for the protection of our commerce abroad."
What! has nothing happened, of late, in either hemi-

sphere—has no demonstration—utterly irrespective of
commerce, been made by any other Pow er, which has
made the presence of our flag necessary, where it has
had neither merchants nor merchandise to protect ? Is
the moral influence of that flag, is the physical force
that is concentrated beneath it, never felt nor displayed
except in the service of our commerce ? We will not
advert to pending differences, which needless discussion
will never diminish; but we will ask how Sir GEORGE
COCKLURN'S observation will apply to our slave-trade-
prevention cruisers? On a recent occasion, Sir
CHARLES NAPIER thus illustrated the mischievous
tendencies of these experimental squadron trials,
whilst there is such a sad deficiency of able sea-
men; and no assertion of ours could so impres-
sively enforce upon the Government its duty to the
country; or the country its duty to that Government—
in the event hypothetically anticipated:—
" If they wished to make the navy a popular profession,
they must give up all their notions about economy, andlully
man all the ships they sent to sea, or else the sailors would
be discontented at the amount of work which they had to
perform ; and they would be told, as they had been told on
a former occasion, that it was all hands all day, and every-
body all night'."
Sir C. N'APIER'S challenge of the estimates on Friday
last was scarcely, we think, met by explanations suffi-
ciently satisfactory on the part of the Admiralty. But
at all events the very charge involved in this challenge
must be taken to acquit the Admiralty of any undue
leaning to that " economy" which was somewhat
slightingly thus alluded to by the Gallant Officer.
In objecting to the vote of 1,273,7891. for naval
stores, he contended that if the vote were really to pass,
the amount ought not to be expended in the wasteful
manner of former years. 1,350,5821. had been ex-
pended under this head in the first year of the present
Government's return to office; 1,372,810/. in the fol-
lowing year; and in 1844, for stores only, 1,190,0001 ;
and he would undertake, in each case, to show, that
neither by the present Government nor by their prede-
cessors had these large votes been, in any sense of the
word, properly laid out. Now, this is a grave accusa-
tion, for it deals with a sum of upwards of five mil-

lions; nor can it be said that it was left by Sir CHARLES
in any vague or undetailQd statement. In 1841, he
showed that two ships were built of very large dimen-
sions, the Queen and the Albion, upon the plans of Sir
W. SYMONDS. Of the trials which had been made with
the Queen he had already complained as utterly insuf-
ficient properly to test her qualities, and that complaint
he repeated, with this still more serious one—that the
Admiralty had ordered other ships to be completed (which
had been begun under a former Government) on the model

of the Queen, before more conclusive trial and experiment
had ascertained that she had the qualities which would
justify the laying down any more ships of the line in the

same mould. The Queen is now about to be sailed
to test her powers once more, after having been taken
into dock and altered at a vast expense. If,
as every body must wish, she should succeed, of course
the other two ships, built on the same plan, must under-
go similar alterations at similar charges. But what
have the present Admiralty done ? They have directed
the completion of the other large ships on the same con-
struction, namely, the Royal Albert (120), the
Prince of Wales (110), which are but one tenth
finished, another of 110 guns, one-sixteenth finished,
without waiting for the reports on the two companion
or pattern ships of the Queen, already referred to
And will it be believed, that after the ascertained defi-
ciencies of the Queen, and the enormous disappoint-
ment occasioned by the performances of the Albion
(which have then so often dwelt upon in The Sun),
Her Majesty's Government, untaught by experience,
undeterred by practical tests of sailing, working, and
steering, exemplified in the cruizes of the experimental
squadron, have ordered the Windsor Castle, of 110 guns,
another first-rate of the same force, and the St. Jean
d'Acre of 90, all to be built by Sir W. SY3IOXDS ? With
regard to steam-vessels of war, the Gallant Commodore
repeated his asserticn, that the Gorgon, Cyclops, and
Firebrand have all proved, in one essential particular,
failures ; particularly as to the exposed condition of
their machinery and boilers in one, and the impossi-
bility of carrying heavy guns on the lower deck in an-
other. For these mistakes the last Board of Admi-
ralty were responsible ; for the Retribution the present
Board were answerable ; and this had all the defcets of
the others.

We a ill not again follow the Gallant Member
hrough his comparative statement of the steam navy
'once of France and of this country. But it is gratifying
:o find, from Sir GEORGE COCKBURN'S Ftatement in

reply, that our steam navy is every day undergoing im-
provements in the stowage of the boilers and machinery
of the vessels under the water line ; and the adoption
of all new inventions of established importance. We
have every confidence that these and still more exten-
sive benefits are in the course of daily accomplishment,
and we cannot doubt of the gratitude with which the
service will regard this gallant Admiralty Lord's deter-
mined purpose to put down the evils of the crimping
system. Captain PECHELL, in an admirable speech,
showed how futile and—(we should be inclined to apply
to them a stronger epithet)—how practically unfuunde,l
was the despair of the Conservative Member for Brid-
port, of being able to man his ships without tolerating
this detestable practice, and the detestable outcasts of
society who conduct it, by the noble example of the
Messrs. GREEN, the great builders of Blackwell. But
we take it that Captain PECHELL will find it a difficult
task to convert others to that belief in the excellence of
such liberality as the Messrs. GREEN have dis-
played, which will induce its imitation. To show
how great a degree of good has been already
effected by the wholesome Parliamentary agitation.
For which the navy and the country at large are so much
Indebted to the NAPIERS, BERKELEYS, PECHELLS, and
ROUSES of the present day, we subjoin the very satis-
factory compendium of naval improvements now intro-
duced, or in progress, supplied in the conclusion of Sir
G. COCKBURN'S speech of Friday:—" When the present
Government came into office, the Admiralty took great
pains to try to lower the position of the ' machinery in
steam-vessels.' They were now building with the view
of finding out the best construction, and, as he said
before, vs ith the view of placing the machinery below
water-mark. They were also going to try the rotatory
engine ; and though the vessels were at present liable
to have their machinery struck by shot, he would venture
to say they were as good as any that France possessed.
He was in hopes before long to have ALL the vessels fitted
with the screw instead of paddles ; and, as an, instance of
the efficiency of the screw, he might mention that in a
trial of speed the Rattler beat the Vesuvius, went
round the Bass Rock, and turned hack twenty miles
before it met the latter vessel." If, upon the whole, we
see reason to contemplate with pride and confidence the
advanced improvement and efficiency of our navy, espe-
cially of our armed steamer force, we are, at the same
time, deeply sensible how much the country is indebted
for such results to the Gallant Officers above mentioned.

The new treaty between France and England for the
suppression of the slave trade, agreed to by the Duke
DE BROGLIE and Dr. LIISHINGTON, will be hailed with
satisfaction by the friends of both countries, and we
cordially hope, also, by those amiable, humane, and
persevering Christians who have so long exerted them-
selves to abate the sufferings of the African race.
Each nation engages to keep up a certain number of
ships, with the power to stop all fuspicious vessels, for
the purpose of ascertaining whether they have assumed
a false flag, and of watching those parts of the African
coast where the trade is most likely to be
carried on. Thus there will be three squa-
drons, English, French, and American, fitted out
for abating this atrocious traffic, the greatest force ever
collected for such a humane object, and, in our opinion,
the most likely to be successful. Hitherto, in fact, little
has been done but mischief by all the schemes tried.
The sufferings of the negroes on board the slave-ships
were latterly multiplied tenfold, while every fresh colli-
sion between English and French ships threatened one
of the greatest calamities that could afflict the civilized
world.

The accounts from Spain are to the 19th. At the meeting
of the Chamber of Peers on that day, M. CARASCO adverted
to the rumours respecting the late intelligence from Rome,
and said he had intended to move an amendment to the
budget, but was little disposed to take any step which could
embarrass the Government at that moment, when an insult
had been offered to the national honour. M. MAnTINEZ DE
LA ROSA said no insult had been offered, and added that
while he and his colleagues remained in office, the national
honour should be duly defended. Reports of a division in the
Cabinet prevailed, and caused a depression in the funds.
The Three per Cents. closed at 32 for cash, and 32A at 60
days ; and the Five per Cents. at 24 15-16 at 60 days.

The Paris papers contain no intelligence of interest. The
principal topic in those of the Opposition is the refusal of the
Emperor of MOROCCO to sanction the commercial treaty which
his Envoy, without authority, had entered into with the'French
Commissioner General DE LA Rus. Some blame the EaSPEROR.
others the English; but their remarks are so vague, and
their statements respecting this country so destitute of truth,
that they deberve no notice. The Prose etatee that the apart•

mints of Henry IV., in the, Tuileries, are to be fitted up
and embellished in the first style, for a distinguished visitor
—meaning, we suppose, the Queen of ENGLAND. According
to accounts from Switzerland, no doubt remained that the
capital sentence on Dr. STEIGER was to be commuted into
banishment. Nothing was done in the French Funds, at
Toirroxfs, on Sunday.

INDIAN DISPATCHES.
(From the London Gazette of last night.)
INDIA BOARD, MAY 24.
A Dispatch, from which the following is an extract, has
been this day received at the India House :
THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA IN COUNCIL TO THE
SECRET COMMITTEE OF THE EAST INDIA COMPANY,
FORT WILLIAM, APRIL 7, 1845.
(Extract. )
We have the hononr to transmit the accompanying copy of
dispatches, from Major- General Sir Charles" Napier, G.C. 8.,
reporting the successful termination of the campaign against
the mountain desert tribes, on the right bank of the Indus.
We also submit a copy of the general order issued on this
occasion, and we feel assured that you will concur with us in
the high opinion we have expressed of these able and impor-
tant operations.

GOVERNMENT
,NOTIFICATION.
Fort William, Foreign Department,
March 29, 1845.
The Governor-General in Council Las the greatest satisfac-
tion in announcing to the army the complete success of the
operations of Major-General Sir Charles Napier, G. C 8.,
against the mountain desert tribes on the right bank of the
Indus to the north of Shikarpoor. Extracts from his Excel-
lency's dispatches are published for general information.
An operation of this nature demanded, on the part of the
General, the utmost prudence, skill, and foresight, and on the
part of the troops the greatest fortitude in enduring the fatigues
and privations to which they were exposed.
These qualities, which prove the merit of a commander and
the discipline of the troop', have been displayed by both with
characteristic energy. Every Officer and man in this short but
arduous campaign has shown that there are no difficulties which
discipline cannot surmount under able guidance,
In some instances the marches performed by infantry and
artillery have been so remarkable that the Governor General
in Council has called upon the Major-General to transmit the
details of his arrangements, in order that the record may be
preserved for the information of the service.
The chastisement which these robber tribes :have received
will convince them, that they can no longer depend upon their
mountain fastnesses for security, nor plunder with impunity vil-
lages under British protection.
The Governor-General in Council cordially congratulates
Major-General Sir Charles Napier on the successful termina-
tion of this campaign. He begs that his Excellency will in
form the general officers, officers, non-commissioned officers,
and private soldiers, that the Governor-General in Council ad-
mires and acknowledges their patient perseverance and indefa-
tigable exertions throughout these operations.
The Governor-General will convey to his Highness Ali
Morad the sense he entertains of the zeal, courage, and fidelity
displayed by his Highness on this occasion.
EXTRACTS FROM DISPATCHES FROM MAJOR-GENERAL SIR
C. NAPIER, G.C.8., TO THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA
IN COUNCIL, &C.

Camp, Truckee, Feb. 10, 1845.
It is my duty to his Highness Ali Morad Khan, Talpoor, to
make an official report of this Prince's conduct as a faithful
ally of the British nation.
At the commencement of the present campaign on the
Sinde frontier, his Highness brought an auxiliary force into the
field, under his personal command, and has given me every as-
sistance in his power.
His Highness was ever eager to be in front, and in fact his
troops encamped farther into the pass than ours, at least up to
the present moment.
For his Highness I have to crave your thanks, Right Hon.
Sir; they are due to him for the zeal and courage with which
he has served the Hon. Company, and at a large expenditure,
thus proving the fidelity of his alliance.
Camp, Truckee, March 9, 1845.
I have to report to you the conclusion of the war against the
mountain and desert tribes, who, driven into their last refuge,
the stronghold at Truckee, have this day laid down their arms ;
the fort of Deyrah is destroyed; and Islam Rsogtie, the only
chief not a prisoner, is said to be a lonely fugitive to the
Ketran country, far in the north, and ruled by a chief whose
daughter Islam married.
To detail the movements which led to this result would
produce a dispatch of greater length than is necessary; nor
indeed could it be well understood, as no map exists of this
part of Sehwistan and Cutchee. Suffice it, therefore, to say,
that the mountain tribes occupy a country of extensive deserts
and barren mountains, stretching about 140 miles from east to
west. On the western side it is about 12) miles in breadth,
but has a triangular form, and diminishes towards the east
to the breadth of about fifty miles. Into this apex, or smaller
part, we succeeded in driving the robber chiefs, but with great
difficulty, for this part of the country is full of the most dan-
gerous defiles. To enter them with a regular force is an ope-
ration which threatens it with destruction. The only credit to
be acquired in such a war is that which resu'ts from patience
under privations created by the dearth of water and the
difficulty of getting up supplies. These deprivations were
borne by this whole force with so much good-humour as
to show that the eager desire of every one to do his duty ab-
sorbed all other feelings, and deserves my highest praise. These
privations fell especially hard upon those hard-working and
much-enduring men called camp followers.
The demands of this campaign at times placed Major-
Generals Simpson and Hunter in commands which. in point of
numbers, were more suited to the rank of captains than to that
of general officers; but, well aware of the vast importance at-
taching to each post in so dangerous a country as this, these
gene: al officers devoted themselves with the greatest alacrity to
the duties demanded of them. In short, 1 must speak in the
highest terms of all the officers, non- commissioned officers, and
privates in this field force, whether belonging to the general
staff, my personal staff, or to regiments. Every thing has
been accomplished by their personal exertions, each in his own
sphere. I have also been fortunate in the commanders of all
arms, and I therefore give a simple list of their names in the
margin, that whatever credit the supreme Government may
deem due to the troops may be theirs.
This force consists of 4,861 men of all arms, including non-
commissioned officers ; a small force, when it is considered over
what an extensive tract of country our operations have been
carried, and the difficult nature of that country.
The results of this campaign may be divided into two parts,
the physical effect, and the moral effect.
With regard to the first, the results are as follows :-
Ist. The total destruction of the robber tribes. Deyriah
Khan, Chief of the Jakranies, Dinanah Moondrannee, Sooli-
man Ramdanee, and Toork Ali, and their tribes, all surren-
dered on the sth, accompanied by Jumal Khan, nephew of
Beejar Khan Doomkie, with a large portion of that tribe.
These men I pardoned and saved from plunder, but on condi-
tion of their being transplanted into the Sinde torritory. The
great Chief Beejar Khan, and the rest of the Doomkies,
refused to surrender on the proffered conditions. They
held out till this day, when they were forced to submit
unconditionally, together with Meer Hussen Notanee, a lead-
ing chief of the Boogtie tribe, and his followers ; also Mundoo
Khan Doomkie, nephew to Beejar Khan, and Wuzeer Doomkie,
son of Beejar Khan. Ali Sher Boortlie, a minor desert chief,
surrendered a week ago, and was the first who broke the coa-
lition. The chiefs and their tribes who held out have been de-
servedly plundered by the troops which I had dispatched in all
directions to intercept tht it retreat with their baggage ; cattle,
household furniture, almost every thing has been taken, except
what was in possession of their women and children, who have
been in no way molested, or even approached by the troops.
The moral effect of this expedition has been--
I. To spread a wholesome respect for our arms among the
will form a just idea of the British
neighbouring nations, wh ), seeing the tribes, so warlike and
honoured among them, have been broken to pieces without
daring to fight a battle, even when posted in the celebrated
power;fastness
ionfdele'dr,uclkheea,ve
already
received, within the last few
days, letters from neighbouring tribes, asking me to attach
their territory to Sinde, to be under the British rule, and thus
to be protected :from the pillage and misery in which they
live.

2. The moral effect in Sinde will be to give confidence to
the people (especially those bordering on the desert froritiet ),
whose cries against the Government during the last summer,
for not affording them protection against the robber tribes,
were both frequent and just ; but the great heat at that time
rendered it impossible to give them that protection. The ex-
ample now made of the robber tribes will show the people of
Sinde that the Government has both the will and the power to
protect them.
The above results can hardly be denied.
In conclusion, 1 have to observe, that the war lasted from the
16th January to the 9th of March, a period of fifty-two days.
This was too long, but the robbers had stricken such terror
into the cam -1 owners, that to get sufficiect carriage for our
supplies was difficult in the extreme ; and if we had fallen
back one march to meet our provisions, during our operations,
the exultation among the robbers and all their allies would
assuredly have been so sudden and so great, that I think it very
doubtful whether we must not have retreated altogether, for
cur camel men would have deserted, and enemies would have
risen up in every direction.
On one occasion we were so closely pressed by the scarcity
of provisions, that I sent off the camel corps, under Lieute-
nant Fitzgerald, who reached Shahpoor in one march from
the Jummuck Pass, making three marches in one, and then re-
turned the same distance with 43,000 pounds of provisions,
thus doing, in two days and a night what a convoy
of hired camels would take six days and six nights to
perform, besides requiring a guard ; whereas the camel corps
required no guard, the drivers being well armed with muskets.
There could scarcely he a better specimen of the great power
of this corps, even in its infancy.
Had a baggage camel corps been formed, this campaign
could easily have been concluded in thirty days. In the above
forced march made by the camel corps, not one animal was lost,
nor did any of them fail till during the last week, when, being
obliged to make a forced march among these tremendous rocks,
the corps lost fifteen animals; but this is not marching, it is
climbing. To show the nature of the ground over which we
have carried on our operations during the last three weeks, I
have only to say that the robbers have been seen pulling their
camels up precipices by ropes; and they probably knew the
easiest p!aces of access.
The campaign has convinced me of the necessity of a camel
baggage corps being formed on a very extensive scale. With-
out that, the loss of camels will always be immense in the field,
and the efficiency of the army liable to be paralysed at the most
critical moment of the campaign.

Accounts have been received from the eastern colony of the
Cape of Good Hope, to the 20th March. The guano at
Ichaboe being quite exhausted, the Island of Malagus had
become the resort of a large number of merchantmen,
and which were said to be obtaining full freights. The
Colonial Government had made something by granting
licenses, but, as is justly remarked, would have got far more
had it erected stages in the first instance at Ichaboe.
Intelligence by several arrivals has been received from the
Australian colonies, where the markets appeared to
be improving, Omagh as Van Dieman's Land has
been the last visited by reverses, so it seems also
to be the latest in recovering. The accounts reach
to the 4th February from Sydney, and the 6th January
from Port Phillip. The latter colony was rapidly advancing,
and there was ample employment for an access-
sion of labourers, many of whom were expected
in fact from the less prosperous settlements.
Some of the beef cured at Sydney had been sent to India to
try its capability of standing the test of a voyage, and was
received back in excellent condition. The colonists are san
guine of packing their beef in a manner to secure a sale in
England.
There is a livelier market to-day for Public Securities, the
result in a great measure of the arrangements for the settle-
ment of the six weeks' account. Prices are fluctuating, but it
appears that good support is given to them in most
instances. Consols have been 99 to 991% for transfer, and
991/2 for the 18th July. Exchequer-bills have been 655. to
635., and India Bonds 725. to 695. premium. Bank Stock is
worth 210 to 2091/2, and India Stock 280 to 279. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents have been 101 to 10114, and
the Three per Cents. 98 to 9814.
The Foreign Securities have been flat. Spanish, owing to
the decline at Madrid since the reported misunderstanding
with Rome, have been heavy here also, at 2914 for the Five
per Cents., and 411/s fur the Three per Cents. Portuguse
Converted have realised 66%, and. Brazilian 90. Mexican
have been 37 to 36%. Dutch Two-and-a• Half per Cents.
have been marked 633.(3.
The old lines of Railway have in many instances improved
again to-day, and seem to be preferred for investment, on ac-
count of the apparent improbability of many new lines being
passed this year. The Foreign Shares are still heavy, com-
paratively to our own lines.
