Sun, November 25, 1841.
'We have great pleasure in noticing this useful work, of which
we have received an early copy. It exceeds the size of the
Directory of last year, and probably is the most complete and
correct town-guide yet published. The following outline of
the contents will enable the reader to form some idea of the
vast undertaking. It contains an Official Directory, with the
names alphabetically arranged, of all civil officers under Go-
vernment, in the Bank of England, East India House, and all
other public establishments. A Street Directory, which in-
cludes gentry as well as traders; and subjoined to this, are two
others, giving the names at full length, of sixty thousand per.
sons engaged in commerce, and lists of two thousand trades
established in the metropolis, with the tradesmen attached to
each, and the subdivisions of every trade accurately defined.
There are separate Directories also or the Court; the Par-
liament, with the •most recent addresses of the Members of
bath Houses; the Law, with a list of all officers from the
Lord Chancellor down to the usher of the most inferior Court :
and the City of London, with the names and addresses of all
City Officers, Companies, &c. The Court Directory includes
the names of twenty-five thousand persons not engaged in
trade, and takes a wider range than any other work of the
kind. The information respecting the Post-office will be
found eminently useful to persons of every description ; and
among ether additions made to it foe this year is one of great
importance, showing the time at which a 1 tter from London
should be delivered at any place in England or Wales, and
the time at which the letter-box for London closes in each
place. The facilities afforded by the Post.naster-General give
the compilers advantages which could not otherwise be obtained
The information is furnished from the Post-office gratuitously,
it is of the latest possible date, and has been all collected or
confirmed within the last two months. We have had little
time yet to test its accuracy, but have no doubt that it fully
maintains, in that respect, the high character of that published
for the year 1841 The work is beautifully printed, sold at a
moderate price, and will be lound of great service to persons in
every rank of life.
Weekly Dispatch, Nov. 28, 1841.
We have been favoured with a sight of this elaborate work ;
and we must pronounce it vastly superior to the previous vol-
umes. The contents are admirably arranged. There is a
distinct alphabetical li t of the names, in number, of all civil
officers under Government, in the Bank of England, East India
House, and all other public establishments; an alphabetical list
of streets in the metropolis and its vicinity, with the inhabit-
ants according to their numerical order in each street; the only
Street Directory yet published which includes gentry as well as
traders. There i 3 also a list of all officers, from the Lord Chan-
cellor down to the Usher of the moist inferior Court ; Police
Courts, with their officers and jurisdictions; alphabetical lists of
Queen's Serjeants, Queen's Counsel, Serjeanta at law, Brothers,
Ba ri • ters, Special Pleaders, Conveyancers, Proctors, Attorneys,
Notaries, &c. Tee names of all persons in the metropolis and
its immediate vicinity not engaged in trade, are given with the
most accurate lists yet published of the New Parliament, and
the most recent addreoses of the Members of both Houses.
There are, besides, the name and addresses of City Officers and
Common Councilmen ; City Companies and their clerks; lists
of sworn brokers ; Lieutenancy of the City, &c A list is
given of all the principal places in England, Ireland, and Scot-
and distinguishing those which grant and pay money-orders,
land, referling to the mpney-order office nearest to those which
do not ; and an alphabetical list ef the streets of London, with a
reference from each to the nearest receivingehoese which grants
and pays money.o: ders. This will afford tie opportudity in
ion eases, in town and country, of applying to the nearest office
for a money-order, arid of obtaining it upon the office moat
contiguous to this residence of the party in whose favour
it is drawn. Another imporeent introduction this year
shows the time at which a letter from j.oildpp should
be delivered at.: any place in England or Wales, area the
time at which the letter-box for London closes in each place ;
tilos affording the opportunity of calculating in all cases
the " vetern of post.'' independent of all this information,
we have copioue eceergets pf all conveyances by railways,
stage-coaches, waggons, casts, eerie, vessels, barges end boats ;
with complete aceounts of all the bankers, 4ointsStoele-benks,
and banking establishments of the United Kingduin i the
names of the Directors and °diem pf the various Assurance
cetepgnies, with the rates of Assurance, &c , are else furnished
des ample detail. One great feature in this work is, that it
directs are isedivideal to the position of any number in the
street, by noieg the interseetion of churches, courts, streets,
lanes, alleys, &c., between one hum and another. It often
happens that a person may forget the nem of the tradesman
he wants, although he knows the street. The Street Directory
in this book helps him out of this difficulty by giving the
names of the inhabitants of each house of No. 1 upwards.
sund•y Times, December 5, 1841.
This useful wed,. i just published ; it is, in short, a Com-
mercial,Trades, Law, Court, PerlierectiteresCiey, Postage,Con-
vesance, Banking, and an Official Direeteres It Pentanes an
almanack, list of stamp duties, Post-office rules, and, in fact,
4 body of intelligence too great for detail. Respecting the
wegeeeee of such a work, it is, of course, impossible to speak;
the meet ineeterete Magliabechi that ever gulped quartos, or
bolted folios, wieulei, seescely undertake the per usal of a Direc-
tory. It is not saying too Inec'e tq declare that the Post-office
Directory is a work unexampled even ill tier ecientre. To ap-
proximate closely to the communication of the name„, ees?:
dences, and trades of the inhabitants of London,a task feom
whieh a literary Hercules might flinch.
Railway Magazine, December 4, 1841.
Judging from the great superiority of the last edition of this
work over its competitors, we did not anticipate the improve-
ments which have been effected in the present, which net only
place this Directory at the head of the list, but must drive; the
ethers out of the field. An entirely new division has been
introdueed, viz., the " Official Directory," which furnishes
the full names and positions of all persons holding public
situations under Geyer/meet, the Else India Company, the
Bank, &c. The scope of that impoetant breneh, the " street
Directory," has been very considerably extended; and thou.
sands are now included, who reside without the narrow limits
beyond which our books of refer enee have not before passed :
here we have e register of all, whether dwelling in Barns-
bury Park, Besinghallestreet. or Belgrave-square, in King's-
road, Chelsea, or in Kingslawd; and pee of the great advan-
tages peculiar to this publication is, that ell inhabitants ere
inserted in their numerical order. We know of no other
street list in which either all the gentry, or all the mer-
chants, traders, and tradesmen, are not —incredible as the
fact may appear—,entirely omitted. We may mention that it
gives the names of the Directors of most of the Railway and
Insurance Companies, and a complete List of Officers of Joint-
Stock Companies. The " Parliamentary pireetory" is co-
pious ; in it the offices held by every Peer and Coustfiouer are
accurately detailed, even to the recent appointment of Lord
eellenborough as. Governor. General of India, and of his suc-
cessor at the India Board, Lord Fitzgerald. The „Postage
Directory" furnishes much original and highly valuable in-
formation in reference tp Money Orders, and to the precise
time of the deliveries of letters throughout the country. A
volume so valuable as this will be generally appreciated. It
does honour to the establishment which can put fusels so vast
an amount of authentic information of character so diversified,
and it reflects credit on those who have so arranged it that the
work is eqnally a model of compilation and of typography. We
cannot but think that a title more appropriate than merely
" Post-office London Directory ' might be chosen. The work
surely merits a name that would convey a definite idea of in-
formatien so vast and varied, uniting as it does, in one volume,
Directory, Court Guide, and Court Kalendar, and superseding
the whale class of similar publications.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Knowing your disinterested zeal in the cause
of justice to my deeply injured master, and sincerely
grateful for the service you have already rendered him
by making known the facts of his case and the argu-
ments of his defenders, I beg very respectfully to re-
quest, as a further favour, the insertion of the follow-
ing correspondence.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
RUIN GOO BAPOJEE,

In consequence of ,this, and for the purpose of
bringing the circumstances to the knowledge of the
Court of Directors, the Court of Proprietors, the
Board of Control, the Parliament, and her Majesty.in
Council, I sent native Agents (to England). On this
account eril-minded persons, considering the British
authorities at Bombay to be unfavourably disp used
towards me, deemed it a fit opportunity (for their
purposes), and persuaded the authorities to believe
false statements which were made regarding me.
Thereupon, on the report that an alleged traitorous
plot had been concocted, the officers of the British
Government, without taking into consideration my
position, my uniform conduct, and past friendship,
brought upon me the evils and sufferings I have

Captain

Cogan and certain native Agents were sent, and they
went and made known the circumstances. After-
wards, the native Agents could not defray their
ordinary expenses, owing to the officers of the British
Government having embarrassed me in every way
(by coufWating all my private property), in order
that I might not be able to make my appeal heard in
any quarter, or obtain redress. Thus I was rendered
unable to support my native agents.
They therefore petitioned your Honourable Cofirt
both about my case and their expenses. About the former
they could obtain no answer whatever; but they were
told, that if they all returned (to India), their ex-
penses would be paid. They then wrote to me, say-
ing, that being helpless, they were obliged to take the
money for their expenses, and return. On learning
this, I wrote to one of them, Rungoo Bapojee, who
was on his way hither, to go back. The British Go-
vernment is a just Government. The British Go-
vernment will not disregard its own documents and
orders, nor the Court of Directors disregard treaties
and established rights. Laying this conviction to
my heart, I derive comfort and confidence, and desired-
one of those agents (who, being without the means
of paving their expenses, were all obliged to come
away), to go back.
Desiring that in the friendship subsisting between
me and the British Government, there should be no
change whatever from generation to generation, I
can appeal to the British Government only, and to
no other. In addition to the circumstances of my
case already represented, further explanations will
be submitted by Rungoo Bapojee and Captain Cogan.
Taking all these into your consideration, I request
that some settlement be made. My high character
in this country is known to the British Government ;
I entreat that it may not be disgraced, also that all
written agreements and established rights may be ob-
served and confirmed, so that hereafter, no officer of
the British Government may do as was lately done—
make misrepresentations against, and unknown, to
me. If such be made, I beg that I and my succes-
sors may not be prevented from appealing to the
British may
in England, and. that for this
purpose unalterable arrangements may be made ;
likewise that my present wrongs and those of my
people be redressed, my rights confirmed according to
treaties, and my territory and property restored.
Having done this, I request you will cause my agent
Rungoo Bapojee to return, protecting him in the
meantime while away, and paying his expenses ; my
kingdom, power, and property, being now yours.

Highness.)

TiMes, December 3, 1841.
This useful matter-of-fact volume has just been published by
Messrs. Kelly and Co., of. Old Boswell-court, Temple-bar,
and will no doubt be, as it ought to be, in the hands of
every merchant, hanker, and tradesman in dr? country. It
is, 'independently of its utility, by which it is rendered indis-
pensable to every counting-house and shop, a curious sta•
tistical monument of the extent, importance, trade, and
wealth of the metropolis, and as such a document deserving
tile attention even •of persons who are not immediately in-
teretted in commercial and business pursuits. The present
volume for 1842 contains some important new matter, with
which the preceding volumes were not furnished—it has an im-
portant addition, " The official Directory," an alphabetical
list of all persons holding situations under the Crown, of all
persona homing situations in the Eut India House, in the
Bank of England, and in the various law, city offices, and all
other public offices. This addition is of itself enough to show
the great pains taken by the Proprietors to render the book
perfect. There is also some useful information given relative
to the " Money Order-office," to which, if the public would
pay more attention than they have hitherto done, less would
be heard of the loss of money by the transmission of remittances
by post in the marmo t. usually adopted. The number of stamps
issued to the various newspapers published throughout England
and Wales is given, together with the amount of stamp duties
on advertisements paid by each paper respectively, and, indeed,
a mass of information is brought together from which the. best
informed \may derive some increase of knowledge, and to
which the attention of the most ignorant and careless can
hardly be called in vain. As far as the cursory examination
can justify an opinion, and it is next to impossible to pay to
such a work as this the, minute attention it deserves, it appears
to be compiled with indefatigable industry, extreme.vigilance,
and an excellent judgment for arrangement.
Morning Post, December 29, 1841.
The charge, whether title or fa,se, brought against the " An.
nuals," that, however pretty they may be, they are of little or
no use, cannot in any degree apply to this singular publication.
Within the single vol,arne, neatly brought out by :Messrs. Kelly
and Co., of Old Besvrell-court, Temple-bar, is comprised all
the information that can be nseful to the fashionable, legal, or
commercial communities. "It includes a " Court Directory,"
which alone contains about five-and-twenty thousand names ;
a" Law Directory" of the most ample description, giving,
among other details, no fewer than sixteen large pages of a
" General List of Stamps ;" an " Official Directory," with an
index of* six thousand persons holding situations under the
Crown, in the Bank, the East India House, and other public
departments; the " Commercial Directory," perhaps the ful-
Iste and most complete that has ever yet appeared, and a variety
of miscellaneous mattor which it is impossible to particularise
here. In short, from our own observation, we can safely pro-
nounce this work a " sine qua non" to everybody who desires to
become acquainted witl t the great metropolitan world of London.

The old proverb says it is good to let well alone ; but we
sue no possible reason why well should be left to stand still, so
long as better is clearly attainable; and such appears to be the
opinion of the enterprising proprietors of the " Post-office Lon-
don Directory." The present edition is superior in many re-
spects, to any of its predecessors. On its first appearance, it
was a neat and correct pocket volume—nothine. more ; but
it has gone on improving and augmenting from' year to
yerr, till, by the mere force of its manifest superiority,
it has fairly beaten every competitor out of the field, and
become, from the variety, copiousness, and accuracy of
its information, an indispensable requisite to every count-
ing-house and shop in the metropolis and its suburbs. It
would be quite impossible, in a brief notice, to give anything
like an' adequate idea of the contents of a closely-printed
royal octavo volume, running to upwards of 1,500 pages. It
can only be justly described as a series of Directories, each
one complete in itself, and each of peculiar value to every per-
son engaged in business. For instance, is the residence of
any particular persists required, a reference to the " Commer-
cial" or " Court Directory" will at once give the desired in-
formation. if a complete list of all persons engaged in any
one of the various professions or trades exercised in the me-
tropolis is sought, turn to the " Trades' Directory," and you
have, ready to your hand, arranged in alphauetical order,
and with the residence attached, a return of every ac-
countant, apothecary, artist, &c., &c., within the limits of
the bills of mortality. It is the sama pith every other depart-
ment of the work. We have never seen any volume containing
so much matter, so well divided, and clearly arranged. The
intimate connexion of the proprietor with the Post-office en-
sured him the most accurate information; and his printers'
extensive printing-office and steam-presses enabled him to issue
his sheets with surprising rapidity; so that every change is
made up almost to the day of publication. The whole book is
worthy of the mighty city it anatomises ; the most correct, as
wel as the most useful, record of its industry, its vastness, and
its intelligenee ; and, if we keep in mind the enterprise neces-
sary for the conception of such a work, the immense care re-
quired in its preparation, the enormous capital required to
produce it, and, considering its bulk and variety, the sur-
prisingly low price at which it is issued, we must pronounce it,
notwithstanding the typographical wonders daily issued from
Pre,s, the most surprising volume to which the first city in the
world has yet given birth.-

THE LONDON GENERAL MOURNING
WAREHOUSE, established fox the sale of every article
requisite for Court, or Complimentary Mourning,
Nos. 247, and 249, Regent-street, near the Circus, Oxford-
street, W. C. JAY and CO., proprietors.—The managers of
the above establishment beg leave to call the attention of
ladies to its peculiar utility, and to the advantages presented
by their undertaking. It has ever been a source of inconve-
nience and regret, on occasions when mourning attire is re-
ouired? that its purchasers have at such a time been cern-
Pii.d to the livassilig petessity of proceeding from Om? to
i.hcp in sari of bacli distinct ii;ticle of dress. This evil is
now most completely remedied at the London General Mourn-
ing Warehouse, where every description of mourning, milli •
nery, dresses, cloaks, mantles, shawls, &c., of the best qua-
lity, can be purchased at the most reasonable prices, and every
article necessary for a complete outfit of mourning, may be
procured at a moment's notice. The millinery rooms contain
an assortment of mourning bonnets, caps, and head-dresses,
with a well-selected variety of skirts for first and following
mourning-. The dressmaking is superintended by an expe-
rienced artiste.

Morning Chronicle, Dec. 21, 1841.
We have had occasion to commend the extraordinary diligence
and accuracy shown in getting up the " Post-office i firectory '
for former years, and n• less praise is due to the publication of
the present volume.' It contains the same immense mass of
information relative to the metropolis, which renders the work
one of the most astonishing monuments of the greatness of
London that can well be conceived. This inrormation appears
clasaified, distributed, and arranged in a variety of ways so as
to make the facility of reference nearly perfect. The
corrections necessary from the changes of a year appear,
as far as it is possible to judge, to have been carefully made,
and it would be difficult to over-estimate the labour invnlved
in such corrections. We- recommend it to the favourable con-
'Aeration of the public ; %Ad, in fac', it must be regarded as
(fisteensable in every flutist., or office, where business is trans-
acted. To those, it there' be any, who have not seen it, it will
,convey the best notion of the variety of its contents to say, that
!the single volume of 1,500 pages contains a Streets' Directory
--Trades' Directory—Law Directory—City—Parliamentary—
Courts—Postage—Banking—and Official and Conveyance
Directories—each a large work, and complete in itself, though
the whole are requisite to a publication which professes to be a
Directory for London.
Morning Harald. Nov, 30, 1841.
Th is is a most complete and extremely useful work. It em-
brace:, every point of interest in and near the metropolis that
can effect the wants of the community at large, and is service-
able to all classes of society. Under one general head it con-
tains a aeries of Directories, in which are enumerated all the
Parliamentary,
Tracl s, Streets, Names, Olilcial Desiguation,,

Again we have to bestow our praise on the completeness and
cheapness of the multifarious information comprised in the
Post-office London Directory," which comprehends within
one moderately-sized volume, of clear and easy reference, a
Commercial, Trades', Law, Court, and Parliamentary Direc-
tory. It is at once the fullest volume of the kind, the most ex-
act, has the most recent intelligence—the information it em-
bodies having been collected within the last seventy days from
official sources, and through agents possessing the requisite lo-
cal knowledge, and is altogether the completest guide-book to
the metropolis that has hitherto appeared.
Spectator, Dec. 4, 1841.
This extensive work still continues to grow. Besides a revi-
sion and extension of the other branches, the Official Directory
has now been increased so as to form division of itself. This
part, like the other sections of the subject, is subdivided ; one
part containing a list of Government and other public offices,
under which the names and employments of the persons are
arranged
offices the other presents an alphabetical list of persons
holding under the Crown, in the East India House,
Bank of England, &c. And such a muster-roll !—an army,
nay, a population, of place-holders !

From the days of the Great Seevajeer,n4w 200
years since, down to the present time, my family has
eaten the salt of the Rajas of Sattara—how, then,
could I disobey his Highness? If your Honourable
Court be of opinion that I have, by coming back, in-
tentionally departed from the pledge to return
straightway to India, which you exacted in April
last from my late colleagues and myself, as the con-
dition on which alone your Honourable Court would
relieve us from the utter destitution in which we
were plunged, I will refund whatever portion of the
money so advanced you may consider due, as the
share allotted to myself and two servants for our pas-
sage and expenses.
His Highness, my master, observes to your Ho-
nourable Court, that " the British Government is a
just Government : the British Government will not
disregard its own documents and orders, nor the
Court of Directors disregard treaties and established
rights. Laving this conviction to my heart, I derive
comfort and confidence."

Your Honourable Court will suffer me to say that,
so long as my master survives, no circumstances that
can happen to him, not even the unheard-of malice,
the. cruelty, and personal indignity with which his
High.-.:,ss and his principal adherents have been
treated, will shake this, the conviction of his virtuous
and honourable mind, in the final triumph of British
justice ; nor can dethronement, imprisonment, or
diminish the " comfort and confidence" with
wl,ich he steadfastly looks forward to the day when
his innocence will he as publicly proclaimed through-
out India, as it is now universally acknowledged
throughout India and England by all honest, im-
partial, and unprejudiced men, who, lovers of truth,
and unswayed by intrigue, by malevolence, and by
sinister or party interest, have consulted the docu-
ments which have been published by your Honour-
able Court as the " Sattara Papers," one-sided, de-
fective, and mutilated as those documents are.

His Highness specially recommends me in his
letter to the protection of your Honourable Court. I
humbly crave that protection. It is my painful duty
to inform ritir Honourable Court that certain of
your officers, late my fellow-passengers in the
steamer Oriental, from Malta, conducted themselves
in language and manner so offensively towards me, as
to render necessary this representation of their be-
haviour. I had hardly .been an hour on board, on
the evening we sailed, when, as I was ascending to
the deck, these persons came up and accosted me in j
the Hindostanee language. On learning my name,
and hearing from me that I was one of the Agents of
the dethroned Raja of Sattarn, returning to England
on his Highness's behalf, one of the number, who
afterwards refused to give his name, commenced
grossly to revile my master,- called his Highness
" liar" to my face; glen, deriding and ridiculing me,
he ached what good I expected I should be able to
do by returning to England ; said that the gallows
there awaited me, or at the least, that your Honour-
able Court . would cause me to be driven or trans-
ported out the country. Had I known English,
I would have appealed on the spot to the
Captain, who beckoned me to come to the
after-part of the bip, whether in conse-
quence of 111.)aring the tone in which I was ad-
dressed I cannot say. But I could only complain to
my servants. That night I slept not. I am a
Hindoo by birth and allegiance ; a subject of Sattara,
not a British subject ; I am a man of rank in my
own country ; have been for many years high in
office, and in the confidence of my absent, calum-
niated master. What crime do I commit, deserving
of insult or reproach at the hands of your officers, or
of threatened ignominious death or transportation,

' This conduct, and this treatment, are the natural
sequel, permit me to say, of the example which was
publicly set by your acting Governor in Council,
when my late colleagues, the Agents of his Highness,
first arrived in Bombay, deputed by him to proceed to
England, and appeal to the justice of your Honour-
able Court. The-minutes and fragments of minutes
published by your Honourable Court record the fact
that, by orders of your acting Governor in Council,
these native gentlemen and strangers were hunted
out by the police, seized in their houses as criminals,
carried before the Senior Police Magistrate, interro-
gated and kept in custody ,by him, and that the
opinion of the Advocate-General, the law adviser of
the Government, was taken. whether4t-was not pos-
sible to detain their persons altogether, "as deputed
by' the Raja of Sattara." Further, a French ship,
lin which they had taken their passage, was refused a
port-clearance, and afterwards compelled to sail with-
-1 out them, by which they forfeited their passage-
' money amounting to 5001. ; and when they were at
length 'liberated, your " Honourable Court was ear-
nestly recommended not to recognise them, nor per-
, mit them to be recognised by her Majesty's Go-
vernment in any public capacity." Is it possible
thus to treat British subjects or foreigners in any
other part of the British dominions but India ?
If, by coming to England to complain of wrong or
oppression, a native of India, whether a British sub-
ject or the subject of a dependent Prince, is in effect
guilty of heinous crime, and is to draw down upon
himself, as a fitting punishment, every personal
indignity that can be heaped upon him by officials
and non-officials, from the hour he ventures to set
out until the hour he returns, his sojourn in this
generous land excepted, let me beseech your Honour-
able Court, in accordance with the justice and be-
nignity ascribed to your paternal sway over the
natives of India, and in commiseration of their igno-
rance, to cause this sentiment to be made known
throughout the vast territories subject to your un-
controlled authority, in order that my fellow natives,
the turbaned gentry," as they are styled, may be
deterred from seeking justice in England, and be
saved from the humiliations and indignities it has
been the lot of my late colleagues and myself to
suffer in the discharge of the painful trust which
duty and gratitude imposed upon us ; humiliations
and indignities which, I venture to assert, not the
meanest Englishman would have suffered in any
native State, much less English gentlemen, innocent
of offence, clothed with an official character, and hold-
ing in their country, and at the Court of their Sove-
reign, that rank and station which, in happier times,
birth and office conferred upon us at the Court of
our fallen master, Maharaj, Purtaub Sing.
I present myself in person to deliver this letter at
the India House, where justice requires me ,to say
that our past reception has uniformly been kind and
courteous from such individual Directors as have
condescended to see us, and polite and obliging
from the officers of your establishment.
I have the honour to be, flonourtshle Sirs, your
most obedient humble servant.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE lIONOURABLE
EAST INDIA COMPANY.

SIR-I request you will obtain permission of the
Chairman and the Honourable the Court of Direc-
tors of the East India Company, for me to take copies
of the deposition of Govind low, taken before Mr.
llutt, the Magistrate of Ahmednuggur ; also of the
petition or letter of his mother, Geerjhab'haee, both
documents being among the Sattara papers.—l am,
Sir, your most obedient servant,

COPY.—(COURT'S REPLY.)

East India House, Feb. 23, 1842.
Sla,—Your letters of the 24th January and 3d Fe-
bruary have been received, and laid before the Court
of Directors.

In the former, you state that, by direction of
the ex-Raja of Sattara, you have returned to this
country from Malta, as the bearer of a letter from the
ex-Rajah to the Court of Directors, and that if the
Court are of opinion that you "have, by coming
back, intentionally departed from the pledge to return
straightway to India,' in consideration of which the
sum of 4,0001. was granted by the Court, to pay the
debts and passage-money of your late colleagues and
yourself, you will refund whatever portion of the
money so advanced the Court may consider due, as
the share allotted to yourself and two servants for
your passage and expenses.
I am commanded to state, in reply, that the Court
having distinctly -refused to advance any sum of mo-
ney in order to facilitate the departure of a portion
only of the ex-Raja's Val:eels, they cannot consider
your return to this country compatible with the
pledge given by yourself and colleagues, nor can they,
under such circumstances, in any way recognise you
as an agent of the ex-Raja of Sattara.—l have the
honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant,
JAMES C. MELVILLE.
Rungoo Bapojee.

No. 9, Blandford-place, Regent's-park,
March 12, 1842.
TO THE HONOURABLE THE CHAIRMAN AND
THE COURT OF DIRECTORS OF THE EAST
INDIA COMPANY.

HONOURABLE SIRS—I have the honour to acknow-
ledge' the receipt of your Secretary's letter of the 23d
February, in which he states, that he is " commanded"
to reply to my letters of the 24th January and 3d
February, as follows :—That " they (the Court) can-
not consider my return to this country compatible
with the pledge given by myself and colleagues, nor
can they, under such circumstances, in any way re-
cognise me as an agent of the ex-Raja of Sattara."
2. Your Honourable Court will permit me to ob-
serve, that there is nothing new in this your reply.
Your Honourable Court, contrary to what is implied
by your words, never did recognise my late col-
leagues and myself as the agents of his Highness the
Raja of Sattara, any more than you now recognise
me individually; only the reasons given in the two
eases are just the opposite the one to the other. In
the first case you grounded your refusal upon my
colleagues and myself having come to England ; in
my case it results from my not having gone back to
India; (as if your recognising me there could be of
any possible service to his Highness !) Would t
not have been more decorous not to have assigned any
reason at all, Or to have avowed the real one ; namely,
that your, Honourable Court, having condemned and
deposed my master without trial, and carried him cap-
tive away, you are determined to silence him for ever,
and make the grave hide him alike and his wrongs ?
3. Your Honourable Court do not condescend to
notice the subject matters of my two letters, the most.
material being a humble request to be ffered to
take authentic copies at the India House of the evi-
dence of the widow Geerjhab'haee, and of her son,
Govind Row,

•
4. A majority of your Honourable Court has
adopted and warmly praised all the acts of your Indian
Governments; you alone possess all the documents;
to whom, then, but to you can the application be made ?
Could you refuse it to my master were he here ?
Could you still venture to refuse to his highness all
access to the evidence on which you have declared,
and persist in declaring, him guilty ? You would
not in England do this. But he is a prisoner 15,000
miles off, guarded by your bayonets ; force keeps him
away. He sends me to you to make the application
in his name. The fact of my being his Highness's
accredited agent, your Honourable Court do not, for
you cannot, dispute. Repudiate me although you
may, wherefore refuse this simple request ?
5. And what is this evidence which I seek to ob-
tain ? One of my master's subjects, a Brahmin of
high birth and consideration, Govind Row, who never
was my master's Minister, "only a principal courtier,
but who has uniformly been described as Minister,
in order to confound his every word and act with my
master's, was suddenly demanded from my master,*
and on being delivered up, in the course of an hour,
into your hands, he was cast prisoner into your pow-
der magazine at Sattara. British sentinels with fixed
bayonets were placed over him, with orders to allow
no access to him whatever, and to cause the attendant
who brought him food to place it on the ground, and
retire to a distance while he ate it.
6. This treatment, which was continued until the

which passed between the Bombay Government, its
officers, and myself, and in accordance with treaties,

* 7th September, 1836.

'..

f 11th January, 1837, having failed in its object, of
I wringing from Govind Row an accusation against his
1 master of having conspired, he was next removed to
I your felon's gaol -.ti; Pbonah, where his imprisonment
was alternately aggravated and 'relaxed, in order to
see whether this species of torture would succeed in
breaking his firmness of mind.
.7. This likewise failed ; .Govind Row continued
immoveable ; when, stung to madness at the thought
of their devoted victim escaping, your Bombay Go-
vernment, at the urgent instance of Colonel Ovans,
the Resident at the Court of my master, the Man by
your treaty imposed upon his Highness as his official
friend and adviser, and who, nevertheless, had at that
very time, secretly and unknown to his llighness,
already signed his name to his Highness's guilt, or-
dered Govind Row to be again forcibly taken away,
and placed " in strict confincptcnt," as a state prisoner
in your fortress.of Ahmednuggur, 80 miles distant
*mil Poonah,. and under the immediate custody of
one of your Judges, he an Englishman.
8. The reason publicly insisted on by Colonel
Ovans, and deliberately acquiesced in by your Go-
vernment, for the perpetration of this act •ikvis, in
Colonel Ovans's own words,* " It is to be hoped that
this measure may induce his (Govind Row's) mother,
and his other friends, to come forward and disclose all
they know, as the only means of assisting him".
9. " This measure," in Colonel Ovan s sense, did
succeed. After fifteen days of reproach, menace, and
tampering, the unhappy mother, in order, as she was
told, to save .her son's life, was made to admit the
truth of a petition ascribed to her, but which she dis-
tinctly repudiated as her's when it was first produced
and read to her by Colonel Ovans. In this petition
she was made to accuse her own son, Govind Row,
his Highness the Raja, my master, my master's
brother, Appa Sahib, your present Raja, and many
other persons, of having conspired against the British
Government.

10. having in this manner obtained a document,
signed by the mother, and another of the same kind,
signed by the uncle, of Govind Row, Colonel Ovans
dispatched the uncle, properly prepured, tutored, and
intimidated, to ..khmednuggur, with instructions to
your Judge there, that he, and he alone, should haw
free access to the prisoner.
_ _

IL Your honourable Court knows the result.
After an indignant endurance of many days, Govind
Row at length made to your Judge at Ahmednuggur,
in his uncle's presence, what your Honourable Court
has called his confession (24th August, 1837), ac-
cusing my master, as his mother and uncle had been
made to do, of the crime for which it had long been
predetermined to depose his Highness ; especial Care
being at the same time taken to betray all the assur-
' antes given to the mother and uncle, by keeping
Govind Row immured in gaol until the deed had been
consummated. Accordingly, it was not until (10th
September, 1839), two years and more after, and
after my master was deosed and a captive on the
road to Benares, that Govind Reow was nominally
released from his " strict confinement," to have his
person next transferred to Sattara, and to the
guardianship of Colonel Ovans, of your new Raja,
and of the new Minister.

12. It is the confessions extorted from him, and
from his aged mother, under these circumstances,
and by these means, hich your Honourable Court
has never suffered his Highness my master, to see,
and of which you have now refused me the copies,
because I am comp to England, and respectfully solicit
them.

13. To transfer a man, in any rank of life, from
gaol to gaol, and keep him immured in solitary impri-
sonment for three years without trial, is inflicting upon
that man the severest bodily torture. Thus to treat
a man of high birth, elevated rank, of educa-
tion and refinement, under pretence that he has
a crime to reveal, of which he solemnly protests his
innocence in thought or deed, is deliberately super-
W
adding, to him, the acutest mental torture. here is
the man amongst you whose mind or body would be
proof, for a tithe of three years, to this inhuman
agony—where is it the felon's doom ? But to
threaten to prolong this captivity indefinitely, and by
its aggravated severity to drive the very mother and the
dearest relatives of the racked and tortured prisoner
to forswear themselves, and so mould them by their
fears into instruments for bending him by their
prayers and entreaties— the only sounds heard in hi*
dungeon—into making, before an English Judge,
what is called a confesiion ; which confession is then
produced as conclusive and triumphant proof of the
guilt of another individual, whom his merciless ac-
cusers had all along predetermined to condemn.
Such an act has but one name—one character ; in
its motive, in its means, and in its end, it is a
diabolical act. Your Government at Bombay did
this act towards Govind Row and his Highness,
my master, and your Honourable Court, who were
made aware of Govind Row's imprisonment, sane -
tioned it. Well do you know that I here assert
nothing which the imprinted evidence in your posses-
sion does not prove. Your Honourable Court call
vourselves Christians. Many—most among you are
hastening to your last account. Present yourselves
when you may at Heaven's gate, my belief teaches
me that these acts will be heaped up and await you
there, when, Honourable Directors no more, you
crave admission to where the good and the just alone
enter.

14. With respect to the individual insult sustained
from one of your officers, of which I complained in
my first letter, I ought not, after this, to be surprised
at your utter contempt of it. When his Highness,
my master, and ail his faithful friends have been thus
hunted down, punished and tortured, as out of the
pale ofall law, human or divine, it would be something
singular if your Honourable Court did not deem me as
beyond the pale of society, and your officers as privi-
leged to insult and abuse me as the agent of the Raja of
Sattara, whensoever they may meet me out of England
Fortified as they now are with your warrant for their
conduct, I must, as a native of India, submit in
silence, and learn as heretofore to bear with resigna-
tion the brand of oppression set upon our race and
colour by that very body whom the British people
have chartered, as they most delusively believe, for
our special defence and protection.
I have the honour to be, Honourable Sirs,
Your most obedient humble servant,
RUNGOO BAPOJEE,
Agent of his Highness, Purtaub Siug,
Raja of Sattara.

sales, or the quotation of prices ; the tendency of Ha latter is
still downwards.

TRADE OF LEEDS.—We have nothing cheering to report
cf the state of the woollen trade this week. On Saturday,
about an average quantity or business was done at the Cloth
Halls compared with the markets of the last two montbi, but
on Tuesday there was as little done as on any market day,sinco
the commencement of the year. Prices are merely nominal.
particularly for goods of fine quality. There has been a, little
more business done in the warehouses this week ; but considgr-
ing the season, not halt the business is doing that is usual at
this period of the year.
BRADFORD MARKET, THURSDAY.—We hays had rather-
more buyers in the Piece Market to-day, but the business
done has been confined chiefly to fancy goods ; plain 'goods
are still flat ; prices keep firm, and stocks do not accumulate.
There is rather more doing in yarn, but prices remain unal-
tered.—Leeds Mercury.

LONDON ELECTRICAL SOCIETY.

TurseAY, MARCH 15. —The Secretary communicated
" Details of an Experiment in vi hich certain insects, known as
the Acarus Crossi, appeared incident to the long continued
operation of a voltaic current upon silicate of potass, within a
close atmosphere over mercury," by Mr. Weekes of Sand-
wick. That the ova of these insects, in Mr. Crosse's experi-
ment might have been in the air seemed not impossible. To
determine this Mr. Weekes repeated the experiments under
bell-glasses, excluded with the utmost caution from the access
of air, kept also in darkness.
Insects were developed in eleven months, of the same
species as those which appeared at Broomfield. The experi-
ment is still in progress. After these details had been for-
warded to the Society, but before the day of meeting, another
arrangement in which the bell-glass contained oxygen; was
found pregnant with insect life. Eight or ten vigorous crea-
tures were seen 15 months after the commencement of the ex-
periment. The candour and clearness with tshie.h,the author
details his labours. deserve much
.prasse. Ile takes -nothing
upon himself. He leaves reasoning on the strange results
to others.

Several specimens of Electro.tint from Professor Von
liohell of Munich. and tints from -Eleetro-Daguerreotypes
from Dr. Berres of Vienna, were then submitted to the Society
with a descriptive note. Extracts of a letter from John Samo,
Esq., of Surinam, member, were then read, describing an in-
stance of voracity is a Gymnotus, which preyed on and swal-
lowed its fellow, but died afterwards. The Set•.retary then
announced the death of the London Gymnottts.
A paper from M. Joule, Member of the Electrical Society was
then read, ces.criptive of the powers of various voltaic arrange..
ments, which is well worthy the atter.tion of thr”e, who are.
furnishing themselves wi#ll such instruments, as it contains
much practical informati,n on the relative value of each. Mr.
Weekes's Register, for February was then examined.
