pany, he had no doubt but that at their next meeting he would
1 e enabled to congratulate them upon that matter having b. :en '
brought to a satisfactory concinsion. The only term:, LIM,'
which the Liverpool and Great Grimsby people would join
them, were what they called terms of perfect equality,
but these terms would be found fair and reasonable.
when they came to consider the expense of their line as compared
to the cheapness of the other. The East Lincoln Company was as
yet only a project, to be brought before Parliament next year; but
they too could, if they chose, join this Cumpany. The meeting
would not to.day be called upon to come to a vote upon the pro-
posed terms of amalgamation, but they would be read, and the
Shareholders would be afforded sufficient time to consider them
fully. With respect to the River Don Company, he had their
permission to say that they would in a very short time state the
terms in which they would ask the aid of this Company. The
Barnsley Junction line, he trusted, would be persevered in, for it
was lost last year, not on its merits, but on a point of form. Mr.
Hudson said, at a late meeting, that the line was a most important
one, and if no company could be got to make it, he would. He
concluded by moving the adoption of the report.
A short discussion followed, on some matters of figures, after
which the report was adopted, and the usual votes of thanks
having been passed, the meeting separated at four o'clock, having
sat three hours.

EAST AND WEST INDIES.

CHATHAM, SEPT. 13.—The following detachments of
regiments serving in India have arrived at the invalid depot,
Casemate-barracks, at Brompton. They consist of 104 men,
including seven sergeants of the 78th Highlanders, with ten
women and eight children, and twenty-nine men, including
five sergeants, of the 17th Regiment of Foot, with
four women and sixteen children, under the command of
Major R. J. P. Vassall, of the 78th, and Assistant-Surgeon
John Innes, of the same corps. The above troops embarked at
Bombay, on board the ship Columbus, of 500 tons burden, Cap-
tain Short, on the 13th May last; and during their passage,
lasting 130 days, arriving off Gravesend on Sunday the 21st
inst., the troops lost by death nine men of the 78th, and eight
men of the 17th, also three children, and Mrs. Moore, wife of
Lieutenant Moore, of the 28th Foot. The whole of the men
of the 78th are completely worn out by the fatigue and the
sickness they have endured in India. Their account of the
maladies in their regiment—of the hundreds that died—is
horrible. The men of the 17th that have arrived are all
sick, and were so at the time they embarked. The ship
brought home Major Minto and lady, Lieutenant Whitehall
and lady, of the 2d Bombay European regiment, and Lieut.
Moore, of the 28th. A private of the 10th Light Dragoons
was brought home, he having been discharged with igno-
miny. The troops will undergo medical inspection at Fort
Pitt, previous to their discharge.
The following detachments also arrived at the invalid
depot from Gravesend, where they disembarked from the
ship Princess Royal, Capt. Stephenson, from the West In-
dies. They consisted of two sergeants, and seventeen men,
five women, and eleven children, of the 71st Highland Light
Infantry ; two sergeants, six privates, two women, and one
child, of the Ist Royals; six privates, two women, fire
children, of the 7th Royal Fusiliers, and three corporals,
six privates of the 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers; 85th, one
corporal and thirteen privates ; one 'sergeant and one pri-
vate, with two women and two children, of the 2d
West India Regiment ; and two privates of the 3d West
India Regiment. The above embarked at Barbadoes on the
4th of August last, under command of Lieutenant Conway F.
C. Seymour, 85th Regiment. Dr. Hardy, and Dr. Hugh Bone,
Inspector-General of Hospitals, came home with the vessel,
the Inspector-General having been relieved by Dr. Davies.
The men of the 23d, with the exception of one, are all so bad
that they are obliged to be in the hospital. The following
deaths occurred on board :—one man and one child, 71st ;
two men, 7th Fusiliers; and two men, 85th.

divided amongst the Proprietors of that Company. Eighth, that
the capital of the Leeds and Wakefield and Pontefract and • Goole

EAST INDIA HOUSE.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
THE RAJA OF SATTARA.

moved for a Select Committee to inquire into the conduct of Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Oval's during the period that he filled the oflice of
Resident at the Court of Sattara.

The motion was seconded by Mr. PETER GORDON.
The CHAIRMAN said that Colonel Oven's conduct had been investi
gated by the Government of Bombay, and that Government, as well
as the Committee at home, had expressed themselves satisfied that
he had acted throughout like an honourable man and a faithful ser-
vant of the Company. lie would move as an amendment that the
motion be negatived.
➢ir. Sergeant GAZELEE supported the motion.
Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON affirmed, in the presence of the members
of the public press, that no investigation had ever been made into
the charges brought by him against Colonel Ovens, and it was an in-
sult to the Proprietary to refuse I ill inquiry into the subject. The
Court of Directors need not expect to get rid of the question, for he
would bring It forward at every quarterly meeting.
The motion was negatived by a great majority.
Mr. TnomPsoN then gave notice that he should propose that coun
sel's opinion be taken as to whether the dethronement of the Raja
was a legal or illegal act, and whether it was not a direct violation
of the 33rd George 111., cap 52.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE EVENING SUN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1845.

DESPERATE ATTEMPTS AT

;‘HI-COLIJN

On fLubda) cl;, a
lighterman, named David William Miller, of Jacob-street, Dock-
head, was standing on the upper side of the pier-head, at
the entrance of the St. Katharine Docks, for orders relating
to a barge he had just brought into the lock, when a tall, portly
gentleman passed him in a hurried manner, walked to the edge of
the jetty, and after striking himself violently on the breast plunged
into the river. Miller immediately raised an alarm, and called upon
the dockmen on the pier-head for a boathook. A long staff was
immediately lowered, and the gentleman, who had twice sunk, was
hooked by his clothes, and kept afloat until Miller reached him in
a ship's boat, when he attempted to drag him into it. In doing so
Miller discovered something projecting from his left side, and called
out "he has a knife in his body," at the same time pulling
from it a dagger with which he had stabbed himself before
he precipitated himself into the water. The blood forthwith oozed
from the wound, and Miller called for more aid, which was imme-
diately rendered, and the gentleman was laid in the bottom of the
boat. He had no sooner recovered himself than he attempted to
seize the dagger which Miller had thrown aside. The waterman
defeated his intentions by placing his foot on the weapon, and called
upon the other men in the boat to keep the gentleman down, and
prevent him doing any further mischief. He was properly secured,
and the boat was rowed to St. Katharine's Stairs, where Mr. James
Evans, the superintendent of the Thames Police, and his boat's crew,
were about to embark in a police galley. They took charge of the
wounded roan, and conveyed him to the Duke of Marlborough
public-house, close by, where no time was lost in calling in medical
assistance, and after his wound had been dressed he was conveyed
to the Thames police-station in Wapping, where he was divested of
his wet clothing, and a dry suit procured for him. While he was
dressing Mr. Evans searched his pockets, and found in one of them
his passport, and in another a handsome silver-mounted dagger
case, with the initial " G " engraved upon a silver plate.
The wounded gentleman on recovering temporarily from the
loss of blood, made several attempts to possess himself of the dagger,
and was with difficulty prevented from stabbing himself again.

The unfortunate gentleman, whose name is Francois Gavoisier,
and who is a colonel in the French army, is 62 years of age. He
is said to have served with distinction during the wars of the em-
pire. He would have been taken before Mr. Ballantine, but was
to ill to be moved. The wife and daughter of the unfortunate
gentleman soon afterwards drove up to the door of the police-court
in a cab, and on being informed that be was in the London Hos-
pital, they proceeded to that place, and were permitted to see him.
The interview was of a most affecting description. A strict watch
is kept upon Colonel Gavoisier, to prevent his repeating the at-
tempt on his life.

WHOLESALE ROBBERY ON
RAILWAYS.

The late apprehension of Maynard, the negotiator for the re-
storation of stolen property, and that more recently of Garratt as
his accomplice, has been the means of bringing to light a whole..
sale system of plunder. There is not a railway terminus in or
about London but what has been plundered to a very large extent,
and the detection of the robbers until lately has defied the most
skilful ingenuity of the several railway officers. On the capture,
however, of Maynard, suspicion fell on Garratt, as being a prin.
cipal party in perfecting those wholesale depredations. He was
accordingly strictly watched for near five weeks, during which
time he had as many residences at different parts of the town,
never staying at one place more than'four or five days. On his
being apprehended, in North.street, Lisson-grove, after a deter-
mined resistance, an immense quantity of property, principally
wearing apparel, was discovered in portmanteaus, carpetbags,
boxes, &c., with variousrailway labels pasted upon them, and the in-
ference was that the property formed the remains ofa host of robberies
on the nnmerous metropolitan lines. The whole of therailways running
into London being interested in the discovery, their officers were
promptly ordered to communicate with Mr. Nash and Mr. Collard,
of the Great Western Railway Company, and up to yesterday, no
fewer than eight distinct and large robberies on several lines were
satisfactorily established. They comprise the stolen lug-
gage of Price Lewis, Esq., on the London and Birming-
ham Railway; of Mr. Jones, on the same line; of
Mr. Winter, on the same line; a large quantity of valuable
papers belonging to a gentleman, and on this line also; and a
quantity of luggage the property of a Mr. Keep. On the Great
Western, the property of Mr. Prance, and the luggage of another
passenger whose name at present is not known ; the luggage of
Mr. Babington stolen on the South. Eastern Railway, and that of
another passenger on the South-Western. The above-mentioned
railway companies, it is understood, for the full protection of
the public, come forward to prosecute, By far the greater
portion of the property, however, has not been identified,
and in order that it may be, the following, amongst
the mass, are most likely to be recognised :—Blue cloak,
lined, marked "E. B. F.," trowsers and wrapper, marked
"F. 2," blotting-paper, written thereon, " Mr. John Be-
dingfield, All Saints ;" a quantity of light-bue satin rib..
bon ; an orange silk shirt ; silk and satin scarfs ; expanding
neckerchiefs; light brown and black expanding portmanteaus ;
black dress coats; trowsers; socks; black and white check trow-
sers ; a Coal-hole Companion ; fishing tackle; razor, No. 3;
curious pointed boot-jacks, marked " C. C., Esq.," partly abrased ;
shirts, name torn off; silver spectacles, in a case, by Braham, of
Bath ; hair, wigs, and whiskers, for disguise ; thermometer by
P. M. in a case, pincushion, pearl and gold studs, mould of a head
sunk in light brown stone, small spurs, glass salve-box, with a
silver lid, japanned black leather shaving tackle, cut open, tobacco
stopper, stag's head, microscope ; of the many things in the hands
of Mr. Collard, perhaps these may be mere promptly identified.
It is almost clearly ascertained that these robberies could not have
been effected had they not had some confederates in the service of
the railways. That the gang is very numerous is well understood;
and that they have plundered the respective railway companies to
an immense extent. Since Garrett has been apprehended he has
been identified as a party almost always hanging about the various
termini. He has been in several noblemen's families, and was re-
cently in the service of Lord Auckland, and was known amongst
the members of his cloth by the soubriquet of Count D'Orsay.

BURGESS'S NEW SAUCE, for general pur-
poses, having gained such great approbation, and the demand
for it continuing to increase, JOHN BURGESS and SON beg most
respectfully to offer thus their best acknowledgments to the Public
for their liberal patronage of the same ; its utility and great conveni-
ence in all climates have recommended to the most distinguished
oreign connections, who have all spoken highly in its recommenda-
tion. It is prepared by them only ; and for preventing disappoint-
ment to families, all possible care has been resorted to, by each
bottle being sealed on the cork with their firm and address, as well
as each label having their signature, without which it cannot be
genuine.
