The many iovel 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 beaotits 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, aid manual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success acrd 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 ; ana this bonus, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in redaction of future
premiums

tai-, the best disciplined, the most renowned, and the bravest
of its people. The Atfghans, 'the Beloochees, and the Mah-
rattas are enemies by whose defeat equal numbers would haire
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
are at work to depreciate Lordtllenborough's administration,
let us do justice to his rule bt- reminding the public of the
victories with which he has adorned the history of British
India.

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 Conine, thirty-
one miles south-west of that fortress.
2. On the sth of September, 1842, the same gallant corn-
naamder drove the Affghans 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 Ghuznee,
and took and destroyed the city.
3. On the Bth of. September, 1842, General Pollock gained
a complete victory over the troops of Akbar Khan and the
Ghilzie chiefs at ingdulluck.. _ _ _

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 o.a large army, intercepted his
march on Benee Badam and *ydam.
6. On the 29th of Septembir General M'Caskill totally de-
feated the numerous levies under the command of Hassan
Khan, the murderer of poor Burnes, and other Kohistan
chiefs, and, took and destroyed the strong town of Istalif.
7. On the 15th of Mark,, 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 March, 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

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 Ptumiar, 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 inunortalise his government
of 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. Au
Auckland, who brought shame and disgrace on our arms, is
the model of perfection : an Ellentorough, who has vindi-
cated the ancient and exalted the modern fame of our arms,
is decried as an imbecile. Such is faction l 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
Company have exercised the power with which they are in-
vested, of recalling a Governor-General. Ministers, it ap-
pears, have not sanctioned the recal of Lord Ellenborough.
As the right of the Court of Directors to take the step they
have done is unquestioned, it remains to be seen in what
way the collision between them and the Government is to
terminate.

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

occupying its time with wretched Ferrand squabbles, events
of real moment have, it appears, been in progress. Sir Robert
Peel and Lord Ripon yesterday everting announced to the
two Houses a fact—startling at once from its importance and
its novelty. Lord Ellenborough has been re-called. This
tardy compliance with the dictates of national self-preserva-
tion, is not the result of slow wisdom or penitence on the part
of her Majesty's Ministers. For the first•time in the present
century, the Directors of the East India Company have
thought it their duty to exercise the extreme power vested in
them by their charter, of recalling a Governor-General in
defiance.of the Ministry. A body like the Court of Directors
must, naturally, be most unwilling to come into collision with
the Ministers of the Crown. It has never done so before. On

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. WinTEsinE 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.

the present occasion, it has evidently not- done so until ad-
vice, remonstrance, and endurance have been all exhausted.
Nor can the Directors be supposed to have acted under the
influence of party politics. 1. he great majority of the COurt
are not only Conservatives, but very decided in their support
of the present Ministry. It will not readily be imagined that
a body, so little like to seek occasion for such an act of hos-
tility to any Ministry, composed of individuals so disposed to
support the present Ministers, has taken so decided a step
without the greatest reluctance, and a deep sense of urgent
and overpowering necessity. At present the public are un-
intormed of the precise ground on which the Court have re-
called Lord Ellenborough
; and as some information will pro-
bably be given in a few days, it would be improper to anti-
cipate, by loose conjecture, the conclusions of which we shall
soon have surer grounds for weighing the soundness. Of the
great measures of Lord Ellenborough's policy, more
than one would undoubtedly appear to the public to
justify his removal from the government, of which they
have impaired the character and weakened the security.
But we believe that the Court of Directors have been even
more influenced by their sense of the danger likely to result
from a long series of acts, each minute, and in itself not very
important, but which, collectively, have tended to the result
of wounding the feelings, lowering the character, and im-
pairing the efficiency of the whole Civil service of India.
There is not a rule of Indian Government which the present
Governor-General has not set at nought ; not a class of public
servants to whom he has not rendered himself odious ; and
he has made himself thus unpopular to the whole Civil ser-
vice, byno great change in the internal policy of India—by
no useful reforms--but simply by wanton disregard to the
feelings of individuals, and for the consideration due to station
and public services. In addition, it is rumoured that he had given
recent cause of offence by resenting, in an unbecoming manner,
the remonstrances of the Court of Directors, and replying to
them in language as improper as that which he was in the
habit of using to everybody else. We mention these points,
not as being prepared to give our readers any sufficient in-
sight into the real state of the matter, but in order to guard
against mis-statements, which will be circulated by those
who think themselves bound to defend Lord Ellenborough.
The partisans of the Ministry have already taken the cue of
violently assailing the Directors, and of attributing their dis-
approval of Lord Ellenborough to certain reforms, by which .
it is hinted that he was. interfering with what is called their
jobbing. We do not believe that Lord Ellenborough ,has
made or proposed any reform of real moment in the internal
government of India; and we suspect that if he has animad-
verted on anything as a job, it has been simply by way of
retort, and for the purpose of deterring his superiors from
checking his own unwise policy.

LYME.—On the morning of Good Friday, a large
mass of the church cliffs at this town slipped slowly and
noiselessly into the sea beneath, from the immediate
vicinity of the church-yard, thereby rendering the re-
maining portion of the cliffs totally unapproachable
without a long and circuitous walk. This pleasant and
favourite promenade has, from time immemorial, been
making frequent similar contributions, and, at no far
distant period, it is feared, will exist only in memory.—

LIE OUTRAGE AT ADARE Arnim—The Limerick
Reporter adds the following particulars to those already
published, of the conspiracy ,to destroy the property of
Lord Dunraven :—" It apt ears that one' of the accom-
plices, named Loony, informed of the whole business,
and that upon his information, which has been amply
-corroborated, the conspirators were arrested ; and one
of the female prisoners has since made horrifying reve-
lations to the same effect. It appears that Loony,
Regan, and the two women, bad concocted a plot to burn
Lord Dunraven's stables, to blow up the church with
gunpowder, and to shoot the coachman while on his way
to Mr. Fosberry's, of Currabridge, for Lady Dunraven.
The list of victims, amounting to ten in number, was
actually made out, and found en the person of Regan."
