MORNING SUN

Captain Balfour and Lieutenant Fowlis had the opportunity of
distinguishing themselves in bringing up the guns and direct-
mil their fire.
8. Although the 49th Regiment and Royal Marines whom I
I first ordered, together with a body of seamen, to form the
right column under Lieutenant-Colonel Morris and attack the
sea defences, could not be landed in time for that purpose, I
was much pleased with the promptitude with which those two
corps meeed on to the support of the 18th ; the 49th proceed-
ing to occupy the south gate of the city.
9. The loss of the enemy has been very considerable both on
the sea line and upon the heights, several of their principal
mandarins, it would appear, were killed, and the Chinese fled
in all directions, throwing away their arms and clothing. Tt:e
lois on our side, I am happy to say, has been wonderfully
small. I have the honour to enclose your Lordship the return,
together with a list of the ordnance captured.
10. On the 2d, I directed Lieut -Colonel Adams to move
Westward with th" 13th and Rifle company on Tsing •Kong, to
which eoint the Admiral has despatched two of the ships of
war, from whence the Lieutenant-Colonel is to proceed to-day
to Sahoo. This morning I have moved 300 men under Nlajor
Blyth, 49th Regiment, eaAwara, to Sinkea-Mon, where he w ill
a'so meet a s'iip of war ; also three companies of the 55th,
under Captain Campbell, over the northern hills to Pisho;:n,
from whence they wig march to Kanlon and Mowah, returning
bra different pais to head quarters. By these movements,
hope. that every tine of the fugitives will be driven off the island
or captured.
11, It is difficult. ti mete out praise, where every man did
his dutv:wel, but I feel it right to express my sense of obliga-
t:on to the following commanding officers of columns and
corps—Lieut.-Colonel Craigie, commanding left column;
Lieutenant-Colonel Morris, commanding right column ; Lieu-
tepant-Co'onel Adams, commanding 16th; Major Fawcett,
commanding 55th ; Major Stephens, commanding 49th; Major
Ellie, commanding Royal Marines ; Captain Simpson, com-
manding t ifle company, 36th Madras Native Infantry ; Cap-
tile Knowles, Royal Artillery, senior officer of Artillery; Cap-
tain Pears, senior officer of engineers; Captain Anstruther,
commanding Madras Artillery; and Captain Cotton, assistant
field engineer. _

From Lieutenant-Colonel Alnuntan, Deputy Adjutant-
G •neral, and Captain Gough, Actin.. Deputy Quarter-Master
General, I hare received thnaughcut the whole operations the
most valuable assistance. I mutt also mention the active ser-
vices of Lieutenant Gubbith. my Aide-de- Camp.
I have to rereat my thanks to Cap:ain Giffard, of the Royal
Navy, who, after ably conducting the disembarkation, rejoin-td
me, and accompanied me during the rest of the day, as did
.Major Malcolm, the Secretary of Legation.

Your Loriship's most obedient, humble servant,

Gladstone, Dr. Stock, Mr. Acland, Colonel Fox, Mr. ,
G. Knight, Lord Viscount Mahon, and Mr. Pendarves.' I
Sir R. INGLIS then moved the appointment of the
following Members as a Select Etommittee on public pe-
titions : —Mr. George William Wood, Sir Edward
Knatchbull, Sir Robert Harry Inglis, Mr. Greene, Mr.
Edward Buller, Mr. Brotherton, Mr. Owen Stanley, Mr.
Pusey, Mr. Charles Howard, Mr. Villiers Stuart, Cap-
tain Jones, Lord Viscount Duncan, Sir Charles Douglas,
Lord Fitzalan, and Mr. Buckley.
Mr.WAKLEY trusted that his Hon. Friend the Mem-
ber for Coventry would not object to haire his name in-
3erted in the list. As the Committee was now consti-
tuted, the petitions were not likely to receive very fair
or generous treatment unless his Hon. Friend were
amongst the number. After the statement that he was
often the only Member present, he hoped his Hon. Friend
would accept the office, though perhaps he would not find
it very profitable.
Mr. ROEBUCK said he believed he was perfectly cor-
rect in stating that under the old rule respecting the
public petitions, there were four separate stages in which
they might be discussed ; he believed he was only stating
what was known to every Member, when he said that
no question was ever propounded excepting that of an
adjournment without a debate.

Sir R. PEEL said, that in the observations he had
made, he had referred not to the forms, but to the usage,
of the House. According to the forms of the House, on
a motion being made that a petition lie upon the table,
a Member might, if he were so inclined, avail himself of
his privilege. It would be seen, on referring to the de-
bates in Parliament, that there had been very few debates
upon the presentation of petitions.
Mr. WILLIAMS did not wish to persist in having his
name withdrawn from the list.

The Committee was then appointed, five to be the
quorum.

On the motion of Sir G. CLERK, the following Selec
Committee on Printing was rppointed—Sir Geo. Clerk
Sir Robt. Harry Inglis, Mr. l'usey, Mr. Vernon Smith
Viscount Mahon, Mr. Tufnell, and Mr. Patrick Stewart
London, England, 1842-02-08

EXTENSION OF THE SUFFRAGE.

Mr. SHARMAN CRAIVFORD gave notice that
on an early day after the recess he would move
for leave to bring in a Bill for an extension of the Par-
liamentary suffrage to a larger portion of the working
people.
MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL gave notice that
he would to-morrow move for leave to bring in a Bill
to explain and amend the Municipal Corporations'
Act. This was rendered necessary by a recent de-
cision of the Court of Queen's Bench, from which it
appeared that persons holding land under a Municipal
Corporation were disqualified from acting as Town-
councillors. This decision rendered it necessary that a
remedy should be immediately applied, as there was
opportunity for instituting 5,000 actions and enforcing
penalties,if the House did not interfere.

Mr. EWART moved for returns of the number of
persons executed in the several periods of three years,
from 1827 to 1839,; and also of the number of persons
committed upon the charges of murder, and other
capital offences within the Metropolis.
TIIE QUEEN'S ANSWER TO THE ADDRESS.

The SPEAKER said, I have to report to the House
that the House has been to present the Address to her
Majesty, and that her Majesty has been pleased to
give the follqwing gracious reply
" Gentlemen I return you my most hearty thanks
for your dutiful affectionate Address. Your con-
gratulations, upon the birth of the Prince of Wales are
cordially received by me, as a proof of your loyal at-
tachment to my person and house. The happiness of
my people is the first object of my care, and you may
rely on my co-operation in every measure for the pro-
motion of their welfare." •
London, England, 1842-02-08

PRINCE ALBERT'S ANSWER.

Lord ELIOT then appeared at the bar, and said
the Members who were appointed to wait upon Prince
Albert with the Address of this House had attended
his Royal Highness, and received the following gra-
cious answer :

" Gentlemen—l return you my warmest thanks
for this gratifying instance of your attention to me,
and of your duty to the Queen.
" I thank you for your cordial congratulation on the
birth of our son, and I beg to assure you that the
prosperity
,of my country is the first object of my
wishes."

Spottiswoode, Major Thain, Lieutenants Raban and Rattray, and
Ensigns Salisbury and Gordon, were all killed.

creased number of dealers. Many merchants from the East arrived
during the first fortnight of last month. A good deal of wool was
purchased for Spain, and skins for Poland. English cottons sold
well and freely. Cloths, too, were much in demand.

PERSIA.

_ -
We have intelligence from the Persian Gulf, by the Hon.
Company's sloop of war Coote, which arrived here on the 25th
ult., bringing advices from Karrack to the 4th. A commercial
treaty has been entered into between his Majesty and Sir J.
.M'Neil, and there remaining no other points for adjustment,
Karrack is to be immediately given up to us. There was a
grand display of oriental magnificence on the entry of the Bri-
tish Ambassador into Teheran, where he arrived on the Bth of
October, and his reception at Court was in every respect satis-
factory. _ _ _

SOUTHERN MAHRATTA COUNTRY.
Another rising of Arabs has taken place in the Nizam's
territories, and it has been necessary to send out a very strong
force to put down the insurrection. Their leader was a
man calling himself It ppah Sahib, Rajah of Nagpore, a
gross impostor, of cour e, but who found it easy enough
to persuade hundreds that he was the veritable Rajah, who,
instead of.having died at Jondpore, as had been reported. was
• alive and present before :hem. Having gdned between one
anal two thousand adherents to his rause, he extorted a sum
of money from the inhabitants of Cherolee, under a threat of
destroying their village, and then surrounded and succeeded in
capturing the fort of Chau•+ab. He was not, however. fated to
achieve any further successes. A brig Ode from Hingolee, an-
other from Ellichpore, and a force from Na:•pore, under Col.
Dewker, marched against him, and the soi disant Rajah fled
without risking a battle. He penetrated into the jungles of
Alahore, and thither Capt. Johnstone, of the Ist Nizam's In-
fantry, followed him, and after pursuing him into the Nlahadeo
hills, seized him and his standard-bearer. He is now safe in
our hands, together with a good number of his followers, but
the cou•:try is as yet far from pacified. Brigadier Twemlow,
the commander of the Ellichpore brigade, has just taken the
fort of Jamoodie by storm. Eighty-five of the rebels were
killed, and a considerable number wounded ; and of the Ni-
zam's force, five were killed and twenty wounded in this en-
counter.

DUTCH MAIL.

Vacua,THa FE RR ITXRY 2,—We are enabled to state with
certainty that his Majesty, the King of Prussia, on his return
from London, to Berlin will visit this country, and in all proba-
bility arrive at the Hague on Saturday or Monday next.
ROTTERDAM, JANUARY 1. Yesterday a steam boat
from Dunkirk arrived here, being the first vessel of any
kind that has come since the frost set in. If the thaw
continues, we may expect that the navigation will
sown be completely open, and that trade will revive. We find
from the decision of the Imperial Council of the 21st of Jan.,
published in the Weekblad Van pet Riot, in the celebrited
action brought by the heirs of Baron Von Heibman against
the kingdom of the Netherlands, that the Council has allowed
the plea of prescr;ption alleged by the latter, and has conse-
quently declared the plaintiffs' claims to be inadmissible, and con-
demned them in the costs.

We learn from Weimar that in the course of this
month a collection is to be made in all the Protestant
Churches in the Prussian,-Rhenish provinces, for the purpose
of founding at Jerusalem an ho.pital for poor Protestant
'travellers, and also for a school. Both these institutions are to
be connected with the Protestant Bishop's see lately established
eat Jerusalem. Similar eollecCons are to be made for the
