      UNITED . STATES . " The mail-steamer Columbia arrived at Liverpool on Wednesday , having sailed from Halifax on the 4 th instant . The steamer left Liverpool for the outward voyage on the 4 th of March , and encountered a series of terrific gales . On ihe 18 th , a shaft broke and the engines stopped . The rest of the voyage was made nnder canvass ; and ihe ship reached Halifax on the 25 : b . There were no means of repair at Halifax ; and she sailed back , with bat little assistance from the only serviceable engine , and against the easterly gales , in less than seventeen

      days . The ictelligesce from New York is to the 1 st inst . On that d 3 j Lord Ashburton arrived in the Wargpite frigate . The President had transmitted a message to Congress recommending a repeal , or suspension tantamount to a repeal , of the law passed at the extra session , for dividing among the States the proceeds of the sales of public lands , oa the ground that the lands would constitute a specific and Taluable pledge for the loans required by the Government . The message had been taken into consideration by both Houses ; which , by decisive Totes , had decided that the Distribution Bill should not be repealed .

      A strange ppoceedmg had taken place in the House of Representatives . Mr . Giddings , " of Ohio , moved & series of argumentative resolutions , declaring sJavfry to be a municipal relation of the separate States , and , as sn abridgment oi the natutal right of man , to be construed strictly as to the lav ?; while Foreign affairs are within the province of the Pederai Government ; and so it was inferred , that the Black passengers in the Creole having infringed no law of the United State ? , the Government could not seek to punish or to reinslave them . Mr . Giddings withdrew his resolutions ; but the House immediately passed a , Tots of censure on him ; the mover at the same time moving the previous question , which the House took to deprive Mr . Giddings of the right to reply . He intimated the intention of resigning hi 3 seat .

      In the Senate , Mr . Clay incidentally alluded to Jjord Ashburton— " He regretted to see the assaults made by 4 he partisan press on the distinguished individual who had been sent to us with the olivebranch of peace . Nothing was so unmanly or so jndecen ; 33 those attacks . He bad the good fortune , when in . England , to know Lord Ashbtmon j and he bore ihe highest character in his own country both for wisdom and integrity . The statement that he was still connected with the banking-house which he had established was a mistake : he had not been connected with that House for twenty years . Howeyer the hospitalities of the land might be violated by a licentious press , he hoped that the American

      people would greet the arrival of this gentleman as s messenger of peace . There is no danger of any rupture with Great Britain , if proper ability is employed in the management of the controversy . " The intelligence from Texas is important . The Mexicans , with a strong force , the estimates of it varying from 8 , 000 to 14 , 000 , had invaded Texas . They had occupied , at the first irruption , Sant ' Aitonia and Goliad . The Texans , who mustered about -4 . 000 , were concentratrng on Victoria , Gpnzales , and Austin ; at which places desperate resistance would be made . Reinforcements of "Sympathizers '" were expected from the United States ; whose Government had , it is said , ordered a squadroa into the Gulf of Mexico to protect American interests .

      DUNDEE . —Trade has been in a very depressed state in this town and neighbourhood for these some months past ; hundreds of men , with thousands dependingupon their jabonr for subsistence , being unable to obtain one jot of work ; and hundx ? ds more only pariially employed , earning scarcely as much as will procure a sufficient quantity of the coarsest food to keep soul and body together . Some time since , several hundreds of the unemployed elected a committee from their own number , to devise measures to keep them from perishing for wan ; of bread . They determined on applying to the magistrates for work or food , and in the event of being unsuccessful in obtaining eiiher , to recommend their brethren to go in a body and ask relief from snch of their

      feHowtownsmfcn as they knew to be in a position to afford it . The magistrates bad no means of giviDg relief , and being alarmed at the very idea of hundreds of hungry men going about asking for bread , recommended and gave permission to the untmployed to ask relief individually . The committee adopted ihi 3 recommendation : '" is was the only means to obtain immediate relief , and appointed individuals to call at the various workshops and factories , and on the merchants , shopkeepers , and others . Some of these canvassers called npon Major Smith , of the £ 3 rd Highlanders , thinking , no Qonbi , thai his being in conrtaisi work , such as it 13 , and in the receipt of good ^ rages , would be able and very willing to conjrifcnie a little to aid the distressed portion of

      the community amongst whom he ivas sojourning for a time . But the gallant major £ ared not-whether the ttaexnployed lired or starred . He gave nothing . Mr . Purvis of the Victoria Theatre , generously resolved to give a benefit 10 the unemployed , and requested the Major and other officers of the 93 rd , to patronize the performance . 2 * fo answer was returned , but in five 4 ajs after our streets were disgraced by a hand-bill issued by the Maj jr , calling npon the * unemployed young men to enlist into the Sutherland Highlanders , and not be dependent upon charity , so repulsive to the feeling 3 of a Scotchman , &c ., ccc . It is impossible to describe ihe sensation which , this insulting , cold-blooded incentive to wholesale butchery , gave rise to- AH parties reviled the Major for his unfeeling conduct . ' A supporter

      of the unemployed' issued a counter bill reprobatory of war , andcalliBg upon the citizens to suppoit the unemployed , and save them from becoming soldiers . The Democratic ConBcil resolved , to call a public meeting for an expression of opinion , upon the Major ' s appeal to ihe unemployed , and the impolicy and injustice of the Indian and Chinese war ? , and issued bills accordingly , which called forth another exhibition of the Major ' s powers as an author . He was greatly surprised at the 'peaceable , quiet , and loyal inhabitants of Dundee being under the power of anybody other than the legal authorities , and concluded with a bombastical appeal to the feelings of Scotchmen . Tee public meeting took place on Monday , the 11 th instant , in the Thistle Hal ] , Union-street . The large room was crowded to suffocation . Mr . William Davidson was

      unanimously called to the chair . Messrs . K . Cooper , S . M ., Jokn Mitchell , Isaac Peterkin , and William Anderson , in soul-stirring speeches , moved and seconded the following resolutions , which were agreed to without a dibsentitnt voice : — 1 st . ' That this meeting consider all aggressive wars , having for their object the establishment or support of any Government opposed to the wishes and interests of the peeple , at variance wiih the dictates of religion , humanity , and justice ; and that , in our opinion , the Indian and Cfiimse wars entered into by the British Government , are unwerthy of the support or sympathy of the British community . ' * 2 ad . * That this m-eting , having heard read the appeal made by

      31 ^ jjr Snijth , of the 93 rd Regiment , 10 the uuewploved of Dundee , deem iianiiisult to the inhabitants severally—an unfeeling mockery of the miseries of our unemployed fellow-townsmen , and a production only to be expeciea to emanate fiom an inoividual Trhese profession is at variance wiih the better feelings of our nature , and opposed to the peace and welfare of society / After a vote of thanks to the Chairman , and cheers for the Charter , the meeting quietly broke up . The Council has issued a bill in reply to the Major ' s last production , which pats that gallant officer (?) in a not very amiable position . Will ii 3 gain nerve the soldier's pen arm I We wiil

      IRISH UNIYEKSAL SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION . REPORT OF TBE COMMITTEE . The Committee of tbe Irish Universal Suffrage Association having met pursuant to notice , for the parpose ef inquiring , as far as in their power , into tbe authenticity of certain letters which were published by the Loyal National Repeal Association cf Ireland , containing a libel upon a Roman Catholic clergyman of tbe County of Leltrim , and published by that Association , for the ostensible and avowed purpose cf embroiling the Irish Universal Suffrage Association in & dispute with the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland , ¦ with a view to covertly damage its moral and widespreading influence , and ultimately destroy the Association itself : Tour Committee submit , for the consideration of this

      Association—1 st . That a great number of letters have been received- by & member of this Associatien during the autumn and winter , complaining bitterly of the hardships to which the writers were subjected by the parish priest of Tnmanbary , and by his curate , for merely exercising what they deemed a civil right . - 2 nd . That it appears by those letters that hostility towards some of the parishioners for the crime of expressing theii political sentiments , and adhering to them , was carried to such an extent that a schoolmaster in the parish of the name of Lowery , ( and not Dempsey , as set foith in the letters f ublisbed by the Repeal Association , ) was forced to abandon his school , aDd leave that part of the country , and seek a living in some other quarter , in consequence ( as it it alleged ) of the parish priest , having denounced from the altar such of his parishioners as should dare to seed tbeir children to his school ; and , in addition , threatened to withhold the sacraments from them , should they disobey his orders .

      3 rd . That , subsequently to the statement made by the Rev . Mr . M'Hngh , at ths Corn Exchange , on the 17 th- of August , 1841 , letters have been received from the same personB , stating further details of the hardships to which the writers have been subjected , and detailing some further particulars respecting the Rsv . Mr . ii'Hugh , which , if he desire it , shall be laid before the Catholic Arch-Bishop of Dublin , but before none other ; and also particulars respecting the conduet of the Rev . Mr . French , and fne Rev . Mr . M-Kally , ¦ which , should those Rev . Gentlemen require itj shall be laid before their Bishop , the Right Rev . Dr . Bruke , of Sligo .

      4 th . That , although these letters are in the poseasion . of a member of this Association , yet your coinmittte never saw one of them , nor did they ever hear of them until after the publication of the two letters in the Freeman ' s Journal , oi the 6 th inst , signed P . J . M'Carthy , nor would your committee h 3 ve ever seen them had not those two letters been most unwisely published , and that , too , without any regard for either the consequences or the feelings of the Rev . Gentleman to whom they appear to have been addressed . 5 th . That with Mr . Deropsey ' a private concerns , that is to Bay , in his mercantile capacity of agent to the Northern Star , ycur committee have nothing to do , being fully aware that such interference on their part would be unlawful in the highest degree ; but your committee deem it an act of justice to Mr . Derapsey to state that he T" > » voluntarily declared that he knew nothing whatever of the letters in quustion . until he saw them published in the Freeman ' s Journal of the 6 th instant .

      6 : h . That j-cur committee are fully aware that this open and avowed hostility to the dissemination of the principlaa of the Irish TJniTersal Suffrage Association , by some of the Roman C-ktbo ic clergy , particularly in Drogheda , Newiy , Lucid , Rutkey , and Sligo , may be justly and reasonably attributed to the following causes : — Fixst—That although Daniel O'Connell E < q ., > I . P ., drew up the document called the People ' s Charter , from which the terms Chartist and Chartism me derived , a - xd told the English people when he gave it to them , that * ' be who is not a Chartist is either a knave who profits by the evils of misraie , or a fool upon whom facts and reason make n © impression , " yet ha has

      s ' ince endeavoured to confound Chartism with infidelity , and so artfully mixed and jumbled it up in several of his speeches with principles as hostile to the catholic Teligion , that those who had no opportunity of ascertaining what Chartism really is , conceiTed it to be something so horrible , so opposed to religion , peace , law , and order , that they frit it their duty to crush it whereever it made its appearance , or as Mr . O'Connell expressed himseif at the Cora Exchange , " so hateful was Chartism to the people of Ireland , and so dangerous to the peace of society , that it became the imperative duty of the catholic priesthood to crush it in tlia bud , and that thfeir s-acred office aimed them with power to do so mosr effectually . "

      Second . —That in a speech of Mr . O'Connell's in the Com Exchange , on the 9 ib of August last , he is reported to have said , " That certain pcrsoiiB should be promoted by the funds of the Loyal National Repeal Association ,-from the legal constquencea of having fjreed their way into Mr- O"Higgin ' nouse , in . North Annestrcet , and brofcenthe windows : " one * f whom afterwards most audaciously told a reierend and respected catholic priest to his face and in the presence of witnesses , " that if he ( the priest ) should dare to take the thair at a meeting of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , he would Beiza him by the neck and drag him from it , even if he "were clothed in his robe ? . "' And when this respected clergyman complained of this gross outrage in a letter to the public , he was sneered at by those wko affect such holy horror at seeing an attorney ' s letter to another clergyman , purporting to be written with a view to enforce a civil riEht .

      ThirdJy , —Your comnritiee are aware e ! the difficulties by which they are surrounded in any efforts they may make to combat public prejudice , or even to arrest the attention of that public for a very short time , in order to lay btfore it a plain , simple , and unvarnished statement of the real causes of public prtjudice against the Irish Universal Suffrage Association as a body , and against its members individually ; especially those who take an active part in promoting its objects and principles . It is fresh in the recollection of every one , that in August last , before this Association numbered one hundred * members , it was assailed in the most unmeasured terms , st a meeting in the Corn Exchange -, its secretary , Mr . P . M . Brophy held up to the world as a renegade Catholic , as & man who had belonged to the

      Very Rev . Dr . Spmtt's Scapnlar Society , and that he took the"Scaj . ul 3 T to an orange meeting , and turned it and the religion he had previously professed into ridicule ; that these serious charges againtt poor Brophy ' s character were published in the Dublin Hominy Register ^ Freeman ' s Journal , and other papers . That , on Tuesday , the 17 vh of August last , Mr . . Brophy attended a meeting of the loyal National Repeal Association of Ireland , for tbe purpose of vindicating bi » character from the base calumnies which had been heaped upon him ; calumnies which not only affected bis character and prospects , but his very exutencs ; that at this meeting Mr . Bropby was again described as a jen&gade Catholic , and as having belonged to Father Spratt ' s

      Ordtr of the Scapular . But when Mr . Brophy sought for a hearing in order to vindicate' bis character from those fcul calumnies , a horrid yell was raised against him , Eome crying , " turn him out , ' and some few having the henesty and temerity to cry " Hear , hear , " which was quickly drowned in the uproar cf the prejudiced and unthinking . - -Mr . O'Conntl : said—Now this Brophy was a Catholic . Mr . Bropby—1 was not . Mr . O ' Uunnell—He was connected with Father Spratfs Temperance Society , and joined the order of the Scapulars . Mr . Bro- by— I did not . Several voices—1 " You were , " " turn him out ")

      Mr . Q Cvnneil—Don ' t get into contact with him . Judeed I am sorry 1 have taken notice of tee man at all ; but he went over to Parson Gregg , carrying bis scapular with him for the purpose of exhibiting and turning it into ridicule—( groans . ) Tois is the tnan who is secretary to the Chartists , and has since he joined Gregg became a . Charti&t—( ' turn him out . ") Iai no man attempt to touch him , because that is all he"d require , and be cornea here for that purpose . Mr . Brophy—1 only want to say half a dczan worJs . Mr . O'Connell—I'll not hear you , but I'll see you safe out , and no man shall molest yGU .

      Mr . Brophy was then turned ont , and the poor fellow who bad nothing to depend npon for the tupport of a wife and three children but his character and bis daily labour , was . thus prevented from vindicating that character -which he could have aoip . y d » ne , as he had tha Vcr . v litv . Dr . Spratt's certificate with him at tbe time , -which he was prepared to reail to the meeting , and whic > certificate stated that Mr . Br ? phy never did btrlong to the wder of the Scapular , aud that Dr . Spratt had alwajs known him as a Protestant ; that although this certificate of Dr . Sp att ' s was published in

      the new * paptra , and was entlostd in a respectful letter to Sit . O'Cunnell , yet he never made the slightest reparation to poor Brophy ; the consequence of which is , that he has been driven out of tbe ctuutry ; that Ms children are in a state of destitution , and that his wife is lying bereaved and broken-hearted upon a bed"of sickness , from which she Will , in all human probability , never recover . Poor Bropby having bfc ^ r . thus disposed ef , thus ruined , beggared , and banisht-d . Your committee perceive that the next step , and that too , on the same day , the 17 th of August , and at the same Betting , was to aitfnlly lay the foundation of damaging the character cf your president , Mt . O'Higgins ; with a view io destroy your association altogether ; tmd sfttr Mr . O'Connell had held up Mr . 0 'Higgir . s , and ycur association , as men who individually and collectively concurred in a calumny against the Irish people generally , and the Irish Catholic clergy

      Untitled Article

      Mr . O'Conncll— " I knew that was the answer you would give . " After having thus sought to impress upon the public mind by all the powei and art of which he is master , that tbe members of your association concurred in , and approved of , those atrocious sentiments , he introduced the Rev . Mr . M'Hugh , of Baldoyle , whom he said could give the meeting an account of Mr . G'Higgins ' s conduct in his parish ; the burden of which was , that Mr . O'Higgins had there distributed a most excellent and well-written document , taken from the Dublin Evening Post , and purporting to be the Canadian Declaration of Independence , signed " Robert Keelson , president . " 4 th—Your committee are aware that it U not possible to enumerate within the limits of this their first

      report even a tithe of the means , the uDjustfiable means , which have been used to misrepresent toe principles and the objects of jour association to the people of Ireland , but more especially to the Roman Catholic Clergy , who have been led to believe that you are what yon have been described to be . They have been told upon the authority of the greatest criminal lawyer of the age ., that your society was unlawful—that it was a transportable offence to be a member of it , and that he who should j > in it was an enemy to bis religion arid his country . That having succeeded in blasting the prospects of poor Brophy , your former Secretary , and banishing him from his native country ; the next step towards the destruction of your society was that of traducing your president and representing him to the p ople aa a man to be avoided , bidding them " to have nothing to do with the fellow . "

      5 th—That st a meeting of the Loyal National Repeal Association of Ireland , held on the 11 th of October , 1841 , Mr . O'Connell is reported to have described your society as " midnight assassins—torcli imd dagger intn , deluders of tbe Irish people , " &c . Cth—That your Committee also perceives that in a report of the proceedings of the Corn Exchange , on the 2 Sth of December laht , Mr . O Connell is reported to have said on being handed tbe roles of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , signed by the Presl ent . " Faugh J is it net signed by Paddy O'Higgins ? aud does not every body know who Pjtddy O'Higgins is ?—( loud cries of " hear , hear , hear , " and laughter ) . He ifl greatly mistaken if he thinks he can bave any influence among the honest coal portus . They under-Btand him perfectly , and there is no fear that any of them will be got to follow his advice— ( " hear , hear , and

      cbtersf . I wish my recommendation should be perfectly understood . I announced it yesterday , and I repeat it to day . Let the people bring auy -wretch who attempts to cajole them into taking illegal oaths before any of the magistrates who have been newly appointed , or before any of the old Tory magistrates , and I warrant that they could do nothing which would vex tbeir worships moie than their doing so—(" hear , hear , " and laughter ) . The magistrate will be sorry to see his friend there : he would much rather see him in the witnuss box , and Le himself on the jury , which would convict the people whom he had deluded on hi 3 evidence . You well know how it would delieht the Attorney-Ganer . il and his satellites to see the people convicted < f such crimts—( hear , hear ) . Mr . O'Connell then observed that the Repealers could have no connection with any illegal societies . " . . .

      l our committee cannot conceal their amBzamenfc at the fact that Mr . O'Connell , who was Lord Mayor , and consequently chief magistrate of Dublin , did not deem it beneath tbe dignity of his high office to have recourse to the meanness of thus slandering , and vilifying , and holding up to the execration of their countrymen aix hundred cf his fellow-citizens , and stigmatising them as men who were deluding their countrymen into unlawful societies ; ind tendering illegal oaths to thorn , for the purpose or appearing against them as witnesses and swearing away th ir lives ; while the paper which he held in his hand bere testimony on the face of it that the society which was thus designated and denounced was founded for the purpose of carrying into practical effect by lawful means , and by « uch maaus —and such means only—the priuciples contained in Mr . O'Oonnell ' s own draft of the Peoples Charter .

      . Finaiiy , —Your committee are not by any means astonished , to learn that some of the Kuraaa Catholic clergymen , relying upon the truth of those gross misrepresentations have been seduced into the belief that the Irish Universal Suffrage Association is an unlawful association , and that it was , therefore , their bounden duty to ciuih every effort to spread it by the mea ; a poi n ted out and recommended for ihtir adoption , and by every other means . Considering all the letters , fatt * , and circumstances , which have come before your committee in the courss of this arduous investieation ,

      it is a source of sincere and heaitfelt congratulation to them that the members of this society who reside in remote parts of the country , secluded in a great measure from that political information and social intercourse which are charaLteristic of towns and cities , have not been brought more into hostile collision with their clergy than they bave been ; tha more so , when your committee cannot forget that every effort that human ingenuity and political depravity could suggest , were called into requisition to sow dissension , hatred , and ill will , between the members of your society , and all other classes of the community .

I have generally gone to work on a Thursday rnormng , and all that my wife , myself , and three children had to subsist on daily , were on «* pint of blue milk , and one penny oaten cake ; Our bedding waa wretched in the extreme . J'l was weaving 74 geer , 30 yards long , 56 picks In the inch , for eightpepce per , cut , and if there appeared the least flaw in the work there was an abatement of threepence per cut . We had only two pieces of sheets to both cover us ami lay on . My wife , became Very poorly .

      " BHURTPORE GOLD SWHURS , " AND " BRANDYi " The " Sutledge ' boundary and the " Sikhs !!" •' Christianity" and its " practice"HI ¦ : We left off last week at the ruthless * ' Shaving" of the sixteenth Lancers , degrading them in the eyes of the natives to the level of the FeriD ^ hee Padre . Tflejr were generally » very fine set of men , and poor Colonel Robert Arnold was the finest of them alL Womeo who had , piarried their husbands with beards end musr tachioa , and hid never seen them without , could scarcely recognise their partners , and were almost doubtful whether they had not at night got into strange arms . We know , to a certainty that the change

      produced was so great as to introduce aa alteration in family matters , and that this moral " earthquake " . waij not settled till after the lapse of some weeks ! The sixteenth were at the taking of Buurtpore in 1827 , and with some other of the cavalry pursued and captured DoOTJan Sal , the rebel Bajah , in hia attempt to escape from the for tress after all resistance had become hope less . To have failed in our attack would have been tantamount . to the loss of half our possessions in India , so every exertion was made to ensure success . We must accord the Bupreme Government great praise for their energy on this occasion , and they were welt aided by Lord Combermere with the army . Had we been repulsed and sent to the right about , like Warren Hastings , the Mahrattas , the chiefs in the Deccan and

      those in the Alogul empire , the Repaulese , and ths whole kingdom of Oude , with the people of Mysores , and great portion , pf the Carhatic ,: would have been ; up in arms against our authority and our native : reKirnentjs infantry and Cavalry would have mutinied , and most likely have massacred their European officers I The fall of Bhurtppre decided for some time the fate of India ; our prowess there gave a shock to tha rebellions every where so rife among the native chiefs , that they crouched like beaten spaniels , and though the Bhurtporeans fought like brave men , and disputed band to baud in' the breach every inch of gronnd , yet were they obliged to give way to the murderous fire of our artillery , and between six and seven thousand slaughtered . We got a footi ' g on the ramparts by wading

      through oceans of blood , and climbing over piles of human carcasses ! Such was the dismantled atate of the walls about the place of assault , that the commanding officer of the artillery di . pcted a ars-pounder tb . driven , thrpugti the filled-up ditch into the crest of the breach , and thence to shower " grape" and" canister" * on the retreating foe I We heard from the officer himself the whole account , and who also said that the state of the breach ; from the dead and dying , was the matt horr ible thing he ever experienced , and that it almost made him . pause in his career and unmanned him ! ! ! There , yeu Christian priests ! there , you picus patriots , breathing for revenge , oa the poor Afghans , and callirig to your God—that is war t and that is a state of things tfeat we , the

      overtaxed and' half starved people of Eagland , are bound , according to the views of the aristocracy , to support and pay forJ The ships are now sailing , the troops now embarking , tvtid the tax-gatherer is now making his uuholyieunds to furnish the Jiqwer of Britain equipments for the voyage , or in other woria , decking the victitn with garlands preparatory to the tomb ! I The 14 lh Regiment of foot entered the Palace first and commencedthe scene of plunder , and all the Infantry it succession followed . The Cavalry remained with their horses outside , though some few stragglers got in and helped themselves . When the troops had got excited with liquor , the usual scenes of murder , violation , rapine , and inebriationj commenced , and , we have reason to believe , were Bever exceeded in the annals of

      Hindostan . Lord Coinbermero ordered all the liquor to that could be found to be destroyed , but still enough remained to complete the work of death and destruc ' Uon . The coined gold and silver was found in heaps in all directions , and the uncoined , and jewels were countless in value . A volunteer of the 145 h , named Julloh , discovered a treasury consisting of fourteen or fifteen lacs in gold moburs and rupees , and kept possession of it for the Government at . great ; personal risk and danger . He received a commission for . his gallantry , which he afterwards lost by court-martial . Vessels of gold an d vessels of silver with r , old chains , and jewellery of every description were in the hands of the soldiery , . who bartered them among each other for any liquor they could procure , who were actually phrenzied .

      and laiil down in heaps , drunk with "blood and wine . " A very few determined men , after the lapse of fortyeight hours ^ migh t have regained Bburtpore , and totally annihilat ed the sleeping and drunken Europeans ! But they possessed gold and silver , and jewel ' s , and liquor they would have at any price . It was very scarce , and all that was to be had was in the possession cf the commissariat ; , who made their daily issues of two drams a day to each man , each containing a wineglass ) full of Iiguorv Officers also had their stores of brandyv &c , andJLhe messes of the ( Afferent regiments had them supplied . The price of a dram was the dram cup full of gold mohurs , and was paid with the greatest nonchalancebf the troops who were' actually loaded with them . Somefcw knowing ones , got a f « 5 W gallons from

      the commissariat , and some few favourite women procured half ^ a-diZin , or a doz ^ n of brandy , from seme kind offioer . Some made fortunes in less than t wentyr four hours , and a drzen of brandy or a few gallons of rack sufficed for a patrimony of a dowry . When the gold mbhurs were exhausted , the dram-cup was fllsed With rupees as the market price , and that lasted for some weeks . As these got more scarce it fall to four drams for one gold niohur , that is four rupees for each dram , and then to a rupee a dram . When nearly all the gold and silver had been sucked out of the troops they came down to the » ld marching price , four drams for ii rupee , and that was the average till the Government established canteens . This they did on the principal of the savings * banks , as thinking the people

      possessed top much supeiflous cash and that it would be safer in their hands . The regiments were getting too rich and independent , the gold and silver , although it changed hands , still remained with the soldiery , so they devised a scheme for establishing canteens , and the profits to go for a fund for establishing libraries , &c . ; the liquors sold to be of the very best description , and at the cheapest rate . Thi 3 -was a sad blow to the liquor merchants in barracks , who were obliged to come down in their prices , although officers , noc-commissioned officers , and - many steady privates bad already realised their thousands , ! and many a commission - we . could point to , and" jnany a retirement in the army , would never have taken place had not . Bhurtpore been plundered ! Perhaps Captain Harvey Tuckett might afford some information on this subject ?

      As tbe troops got poor , they got restless also , and some safety valve must be found for the natives at the same time . The scenes at the Barrackpore massacre must not be repeated too often , and employment must be found to prevent people thinking . Runjeet Singh would not quarrel with us , although -we sadly wanted to inarch on and plunder Lahore . He said I like you EVrringhees very much , but I like you at adistance , On the other aide of tho ^ Sutledge river . I will give you no pretence to come and arrange the affairs of my kingdom , and as long as I live you shall not visit Lahore , and the Sikhs shail be your friends whether you wili it or not' ' ¦ •• ¦' . - ¦ ¦ '¦¦ ¦ - " . - - ' . ¦¦ : ¦ ¦ - ' ' ¦ ' ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ' ¦ ¦ ¦

      Runjeet stuck to this text manfully , and although he allowed Lord William Bentinekand staff , with their wives , Jec , to come and have a conference , for the purpose of being loaded back to Calcutta with treasure and jewels , yet he eat off cheap with a few millions , and threw his sop to Cerberua , and wished : his Lordship , in heartfelt Klee , a safe and pleasant journey to Bengal . ' Since Runjeet ' B death the supreme Government imagined . that KurruckSiBghhiason , wouldhavecaused a split , but he had advisers , and though they hate us as fearfully as the Affghahs , yet do they persist iii the same wise policy . As we could nofearrivo at Lahore , we thought Cabal and Candahar might satisfy the impatience of the troops and make a shift for a season , and with Peshawerr and Jellalabad might furnish employment-for the restless natives who , we see , threw away tbeir arms , and the irregular horae went over in a body to the enemy . ¦ . . - . . ¦ ... ¦ ¦'¦' ¦" - . • " ' . ; ' ; ;; / :. - ¦ ; - . ¦ ¦ . - . ¦ ¦¦ ¦¦ ; i ¦

      Sir . Macaulay may call it an afiuir of pounds , shillings , and pence as it regards the Income Tax ; might the Dation not deem it something more ? The Dispatch sayB , it is in vain to conceal that twenty years will wit ness the destruction of our Indian Empire . The Dispatch ia not always a true prophet ; ant . if the liberal free-trade friends o £ this destmcttve paper were at thehead of Qovernmeat , less than half that time might suffice for our total expulsion . Thank God ! we have wiser and cooler hea-vs , both in England and India , than auy to be found in their ranksri and who are how occupying themselves to remedy past disasters :, and provide means for the safety and welfare of all . But we' must not fallow Sir Charlts Napier , who wants more gunppwder and Ies 3 ink ^ nor must we give Mr . Mangles credit for the falsity that the part of the people would always side with us against the Mohammedan , That would indeed be a dangerous fiction shauld it prevail . ' ' - ' ¦¦' - ¦ ..

      We must keep to the southward of the Indus and Sutledge rivers ; and if we wish not to spuin Chiia * tianity aitogather from our ranks , and east it from us in practiee , ' no more plundering of towns and aassacreing the inhabitants , but look to our present possessions , repair eur errors , be just and humane , and w 6 may yet be prosperous and happy . The Nonconformist sometime agx > said , " They , the priesthood , have allied Christianity with physical force , smeared her . beauty with gunpowder and blood , sent her into the land accompanied by troops of policemea and bands of military , put into her handa a license to plunder , armed her with power to enter the dwellings of the reluctant , to seize booty , and distribute among her followers , to imprison gainsayera and indorse the warrants for their apprehension with take no bail , to shoot widows' sons and cleave tao flkuUs of poor fatherless children , —and ail this that she may have gold to give to the clergy ; K ¦

      New , ye bawlers about vindicating your honour in Afghanistan , chew up this . If any rash steps be taken in India , mark these words , you will deeply repent it . ' « A Woolwich Cadet .

      we cannot , nor will we , forget that individual who has for tis hitherto so nobly braved " The battle iaid the bifrfzj . ^ We are induced , Sir , to address yon at the present time , because pf- the recent . ^' - move" made by ' the middle class , the evident purpose of which ' ¦ ' . move" is , not to ¦ benefit the people , feut to break up the present organisation , and to get rid , if possible , of the great leader of the Chartist movenient , We are told , in sacred writ , to give " honour to whom honour is due , " and whereby it is nnjnst on the part of our enemies to charge Qs with being V man worshippers , " because we seek to express , in proper terms , our gratitaide to those who , with their time , talents , and property , have laboured hard to serve it . % . : If , Sir , we have hitherto placed implicit ; confidence in you , and if we are determined still to do so , it is not because we think you incapable cf erring like others , but because you have never deceived us yet By yie middle-class Liberals , or Sturgites , as they are now called , we haye been repeatedly and wickedly deceived ; . and to fill up the measure of tbeir iniquities , they are anxious we should discard you to place ourselves under their leadership—to rob yon of those laurels you have so nobly arid dearly won , and to transfer them to their own ambitious . brows . But ^ mad and wild as they deem us , they shall not find us so unjust : our conduct shall prove to them that we are not ungrateful to our friends ; we will shew them that in moral and political integrity we are as much superior to them as they think tbemeelves above us on tbe score of art flcial :-wealthi .

To you , Sir ; then , we look with firm reliance . ' to lead us on to the attainment of our political vigbts—to you , Sir , as our guide , we look to steer us clear of those miry sloughs prepared f ; r our downfall by pretended friends , and to warn us of the approach of cur more open foes—4 o you ; Sir , we look for this ; and by our united exertions , we will go on " conquering and to conquer , " until the time shall arrive when our hopes shall be realised , and when , figuratively speaking-- ^ " Every man shall sit down uuder his own vine and under his owu fig-tree , none daring to make him afraid .
