CAMPBELL. " One European woman and four priva.tes. " By Order of die Eight 'Honourable the Govlart-tx OR-G TANEUAL of India, (Si4,paed) " T. H. MADDOCK, 4' Secretary to the Government of India, with the (4.overnor-General."  We ptab?i:vit this day some additional dispatches iie gallant conduct of the British fin.cos in Afl .gbanistan and China. The dispatch or General POLLOCK, giving an account of the bittile with ',Lima KHAN at Tezeen, and the triumphant entry of the troops into Chubul, a place associated with such painful recollections, will he read. with much interest. Every regiment, Indian. as well as British, displayed the utmost gallaxrtry, and, though fighting under an intensely hoc sun, and exposed to great difficulties, fro-m the nature of the ground, vied with easch other in avenging the death of their slauginA 3red countrymen. On their way through the p asses they were moved to fury by witnessing the white bones of the unfortunate victims of treavchery, and after collecting them together, and burying them with as much care as time would! permit, they met the Afghan army, commas Lded by the assassin of Sir WiLLtAM NACNAGI iTEN, in the valley of Tezeen, and gained a coral ?fete victory. On the following day they eau tred the city, when the British +standard was :boisted, the band struck up " GOD save tine QuEEN," a Royal salute was fired, an* d the whole of the troops gaVe three cheer rs. How different would have been the scene, and how degraded these brave men would have considered themselves, had General PoLLocK. marched back ingloriously to India, and left to he cause of his country andhis murdered contra des unavenged The dispatches of Admiral P .RKER and Sir HUGH GOUGH, though not of a very late date, give interesting details of the c Aerations at WOosung and in the river Yang-tz, .t-Keang. The silence of the FrenCh Papers in the interest of the Government on all these imp sonata results is certainly remarkable. Little Pl!' nothing is said in any of them respecting the course France will pursue, when four additional , perts are thrown open to English commerce, am I, probably, for a good reason, The war was co ndemned by French writers, the ultimate defeat ()idle British was pronounced all but,certain, aid d few of them, therefore, can muster courage to demand a share in advantages to which their ,c ountry contributed nothing. Two or three of the C ipposition journals certainly claim an equal right I rith the English to the commercial fruits of the victory, but that affair they must settle with the ''''Bright Eye," who will probably tell them that o sie "barbarian "is quite sufficient.  A gr'eat publi k meeting of merchants, manufauturers, &c., was held yesterday, at the Alan tchester, on the subject of the Corn-laws, at wi ich the best possible spirit was manifested, not by words only, but by deeds, for a almost mof no less; than 4,000/* was raised—it may be said, o a the spur of the moment—for tire.purpose of furthering the patriotic efforts now making by the League, to obtain a total repeal of the Ca. rn-laws.. When men part with their money thus freely, it is proof "strop.- as holy writ" that: their whole heart 12' is in the cause to which they subscribe; mere declamation is no vouch Aer for their sincerity, i since the most specious and eloquent speakers are often the most insinc, are; but when they once begin to draw their pu arse-strings, and substitute solid cash for'soundinl r rhetoric, then there can be no posibility of do? 1 bang their earnestness. Such is ROW the case vvith the great merchants and manufacturers in. 'the commercial districts. From all quarters they- are pouring in their contribu- I tioi'is to the Antii-Corn-law Leegue Fund, not by dozens or scortio of pounds, but by hundreds; wad this earnestness, backed by perseverance, is destined, ere any great length of time has eiap,sed, carry all before it. The League will as tiorely (Ally the repeal of the Corn-lit.wso as the Catholic A ssociation carried Emancipatio,l; or the Birmingham Union the Reform Bill.
