Mr. GEORGE THOMPSON said he deemed it of importance to
remark that it was the opinion of many concerned in the duty of
calling together the present 'Meetings of Delegates, that the De-
putation should be continued in town until the last hour of the
present session of Parliament.—(Cheers. ) It was the feeling of
some, at least, when the Delegates were last in town, that had
they delayed their departure they would have produced a much
greater effect.—(Hear.) Gentlemen, therefore, would do
well to get their Commissions prolonged, or at all events, to get
substitutes from the districts they represented.—(Cheers.)
Mr. ASHDOWN then proceeded to address the meeting. He
should not have trespassed on their attention at that late mo-
ment, were it not that he found he should be unable to attend
to-morrow. He had heard it suggested that they should con-
tinue to sit until the adjournment of Parliament ; but he would
ask how teas it to be expected that a vast number of
Delegates, who were engaged in the same hard warfare,
with circumstances to which the gentlemen who had preceded
him had alluded, would leave their pursuits and business in
order to attend, day after day, in order to hear statements of
distress which were known to every one. He had at-
tended the Conference at the Crown and Anchor four
months ago. A vast number of Delegates were present on
that occasion ; but he would a.sk what they had done?
They had, as the eloquent Mr. Thomp,on observed,
separated without coming to any resolution. Were they to do
so again ?.--( Cries of "NO.") The manufacturers in England
who bad suffered from the existing state of our Legistature, had I
assembled together ; and he would ask them whether they were
prepared to suffer any longer? He told the manufacturers of
England that it was for them to put an end to the great
evils under which the country laboured. The shopkeepers
of this metropolis were not suffering so deeply as she inhabitants
of the manufactnring districts; a large portion of the wealth .1
the landowners was spent among them, and against the class on
which they so much depended they could never be brought to
combine, unless some practical object was held out for
their attainment..—( Hear, hear.) He wished further
to tell that meeeting that without the aid of the
inhabitants of the metropolis they never could effect their pur-
pose. Now he had a plan to propose for the adoption of the
manufacturers of England. It was stated that manufacturers
had been of late selling at an actual loss. Why then did they not
close up their mills altogether? They could not suffer much
by taking such a course ; and when Sir R. t'eel saw the whole
support of the people thrown upon the Government, he would
be compelled to make terms with the manufacturers. If the
manufacturers did not support the people, the land should sup-
port them, and a burthen would thus be thrown upon the landed
interest, which they would feel it their interest nut long to submit
to. Let the manufacturers put a stop to their works
and such a eourse would speedily be attended with effe' to which
they could never hope to follow from resolutions agreed to day
after day " full of sounfi and fury, signi;ying nothing." The
classes who suffered from the injustice of our legislation, by
adopting the plan he had proposed, would mani!est their own
strength, and would make it felt by the class from whom they
suffered. A definite object would thus be placed in view ; and
that justice which had: been denied as a right would be spee-
dily yielded by the fears of those who abused power for their
own selfiish purposes.—( Cheers. )
A MEMBER of the Committee here proposed to Mr. Ash-
down that he should attend the Executive Committee that
evening, when his suggestion would be taken into consideration.
The meetii.g then adjourned until to-morrow at I I o'clock,
at the Crown and Anchor Tavern.

COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in London, before the LORI) CHIEF JUSTICE and a
Special Jury.)
THUMPS V. OFFALO.

This was an action of d t, to which was set off a contract.
The plaintiff is an extensi foreign merchant, and the defend-
ant the London representative of a Moorish house at Mogadore.
The case occupied the whole morning, and presented nothing
of the slightest interest except the stately figures and the rich
costumes of some Moorish witnesses.

'TIE REVENUE.—Notwithstanding the predictions
which have been promulgated respecting a falling off in the
revenue, we are happy in being able to state that the accounts
which will be made up this evening will exhibit an increase of
upwards of 200,0001. above the corresponding quarter of last
year. In the Customs there is a falling off in the quarter's
revenue of nearly 200,0001., which is to be attributed chiefly,
if not altogether, to the delay in passing the tariff through
the House of Commons. There is also a decrease on the malt
duty, owing, no doubt, to the bad harvest of last year, but the
increase on other articles of excise and miscellaneous duties
fully compensate for the decrease in Ihe Customs and malt ;
and will show an increase on the quarter, as above stated, of
upwards of 200,0001. The Post Office revenue has increased
20,000/. in the quarter. Stamps remain about the same. The
revenue of the financial year ending to-day, we understand,
w►ll exhibit an increase of upwards of 200,0001. Tory Paper

FEOII THE GOVERNOX.GENERA L OF INDIA IN COUNCIL.

From Major-General G. Pollock, C. 13., commanding the
troops west of the Indus, to the Secretary to the Govern-
ment of India, with the Governor General.
(Extract. )
Camp Jellalabad, April 16, 1842.
I have the honour to report my arrival here this day ; and I
have been much gratified at finding the garrison in so very
healthy a state, and have been much struck by the strength of
the works which have been erected by the indefatigable exer-
tions of the force under Major-General Sir R. Sale, K. C.B.
GENERAL ORDER BY THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE GO-
VERNOR GENERAL OF INDIA.

" Head-quarters, Allahabad, April 30, 1842.
" he Governor-General has received a report from Major-
General Pollock, C 8., dated the 16th instant, announcing his
arrival at Jellalabad.

" The Major-General has thus carried into effect the orders
of the Government in a manner which entitles him to the
highest approbation.
Receiving the command of the army at Pcshawur under
circumstances of peculiar difficulty, he has in the midst of new
and unforeseen embarrassments and disappointir ents, pre..
served a firm mind, and justly relying upon his own judgment,
he has at last, with equal discretion and decision, accomplished
the olject he was directed to effect.
" The Governor-General requests Major-General Pollock
to accept his acknowledgments of the good service he has thus
rendered to the Government of India, and begs lie will com-
municate to the Gallant Officers and troops under his com-
mand, the entire satisfaction with which their conduct has been
regarded on this occasion.
" The Governor-General has already in communicating the
despatch ft ern Major-General Sir Robert Sale, K. C. li., dated
the 7th instant, expressed his high sense of his services of that
officer and of the garrison of Jellalabad, terminating on that day
by a decisive victory, which would have left nothing to desire
had Colonel Dennie survive• to enjoy it.
" The garrison of Jellalabad having on that day achieved its
safety by its own prowess, and being now re-united to the
army by the movements of the force under the command of
Major-General Pollock, 8.C., it remains only for the Go-
vernor-General to testify his opinion of the just claims of that
garrison to the gratitude of the Government and of their country.
" The Governer-General is pleased to direct that the second
company of the 6th battalion of Artillery shall hear upon its
appointments, and the sth Regiment of Light Infantry upon
its standards and appointments, arid the 35th Regiment of
Native Infantry upon its colours and appointments, a mural
crown, superscribed as a memorial of the forti-
tude, perseverance, and enterprise, evinced by those several
corps during the blockade of Jellalabad.
"'I he Governor-General is likewise pleased, in conformity
with the recommendation of his Excellency the Commander-
in-Chief, to direct, that in order to give additional and last-
ing honours to the 25th Native Infantry, whilst it benefits the
service generally, that corps shall hereafter be made a light in-
fantry regiment, the duties of which it is already so well ac-
quainted with, and has performed with so much seal anti spirit.'
" The Governor-General is further pleased to direct that
a silver medal be made for every officer, non-commissioned
officer, and private, European and native, who belonged to
the garrison of Jellalabad, on the 7th of April, 1842, such
medals to be all similar, and to bear on one side a mural crown,
superscribed Jellalabad,' and on the other side the words
April 7, 1842.'
" The Government of India will present such medal to
every officer, non-commissioned officer, and private, European
and native, belonging to their service, and will request the
home authorities to lay before her Majesty their most hum-
ble prayer that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to per-
mit the Major-General Commanding, and the officers, non-
commissioned officers, and privates in her Majesty's service,
'who formed part of he garrison of Jellalabad. to receive and
wear a medal similar to that which will be so presented to their
brothers in arms,

" The Governor-General, taking into consideration the many
great privations to which the troops composing the garrison of
Jellalabad were exposed during the blockade of that place, and
the noble fortitude with which all such privations were borne,
as well as the various losses the troop: sustained, is pleased to
direct that a donation of six months' batty be made to all the
officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates, European and
Natives, who composed the garrison of Jellalabad on the 7th of
April, 1842.
The Governor-General will request his Excellency the
Commander-in-Chief of the Army to give instructions in due
time that the several corps composing the garrison of Jellalabad
may, on their return to India, be received at all the stations on
their route to their cantonments, by all the troops at such
stations, in review order with presented arms.
" By order of the Righf Honourable the Governor-General
of India. (Signed) " T. H. HADDOCK,
Secretary to the Government of India,
with the Governor-General."

FROM THE GOVERNOR OF BOMBAY IN COUNCIL.
Major-General R. England, Commanding the Sinde Field
Force, to the Assistant Adjutant-General at Candahar.
Camp at Lora River, April 29, 1842.
Sir,—l have the honour to acquaint you, for the information
of the Major-General Commanding the Troops in Lower Air-
ghatiistan and Sinde, that 1 yesterday attacked the enemy's
strong position, in front of the village of Hykulzie, with the
troops mentioned in the margin,* and dispersed them in all
directions.

2. The three columns of attack were well led by Major
Simmons, H. M. 41st Regiment, Captain Woodburn, 25th
Regiment, N. 1., and Major Cochran, H. 111. 41st, the latter
being accompanied by a wing of the 25th Bombay N. 1., under
Captain Teasdale, commanding that corps.
3. The reserve was in the hands cf Major Browne, com-
manding H. M. 41st Regiment.
4. Nothing could he more successful than the combinations;
and the insurgents, after a short resistance, fled into the rugged
mountains in their rear, leaving their standards, and being
closely and gallantly pursued by the 3d Light Cavalry under
Captain Delamain.
5. The practice of Captain Leslie's horse artillery battery
was, as usual, most effective, and the conduct of the troops ex-
cellent. _ .

6 I beg to annex a list of the casualties which have occurred
in this affair. 1 &c.
