The Earl of _Itiro . _v rose to move a vote of thanks ¦ io the army of the Sutlej , for the late brilliant anions ia India : and , after adverting to the pleasure which he felt in drawing the attention of the house to two victories instead of one , proceeded to describe at great lenstli the circumstances whicli led tu thc battle of Aliwal , aud to _narticulaiise the several niauoeurres _wliich resulted in the total defeat of that portion of the Sikh army opposed to Sir II . Smith ' s division at Aliwal . Ills lordship at the same time passed a high culogiam on Sir 11 . Smith aud the _ofiieers under Ids command ; and , after a less extended notice of the battle of Sobraon , concluded by mcivitii ; that the thanks of the house should be given to Sir ll . Smith , the officers , and troops under his command , for their conduct at thc battle of Aliwal , ar . d to Sir II . Hardinge , Itir II . Gough , and the officers aud troops under their command , for the Tictorv gained over the Sikhs at Sobraon . __
The K-trl of _Accklanb seconded the motion . _^ The Duke of Wellington , after expressing his dc-] L * ht at the unanimity which prevailed in the house on the _subje-jt , proceeded to comment on the course of cven « which had rendered war with the Sikhs inevitable . _, ,. Theseveral resolutions were then put and _agreed to . The house then adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS—Thursday , ArniL 2 .
TUE MILITIA . Dr . Bownisc , agreeably to a dropped notice , inquired of tho Secretary at War whether any order had been lately issued with a view of filling up the siaii of _militiaoinccn-, and whether such orders were connected with any arrangements in progress for calling out the militia ? . Mr . S . Heubeui said that orders had been issued for the in _> _pecti' > n of the militia staff , with a view of filling up vacancies , so as to have a staff fit for duty . After _Easter he should move for Jeave to bring in a _bili consolidating the laws relating to the militia and the staff , enabling government to call out the nnlitta at anv time .
THE VIC TORIES OF THE SUTLEJ . SirK . Peel eloquently dwelt on the frequent occasions on which he had been called upon to demand the thanks of Parliament for s lorious victories achieved bv British valour since his acceptance of office in 184 ") . " Sir R . Peel then , after noticing with laudatorv emp hasis the cordiality which had _h- _'enevinced by Sir Henry Hardinge aud Sir Hugh -Gough , gave a brief narrative of the events which had occurred between the battles of Moodkee and Fer _.-zeshak and that of Aliwal . He then described the last-named battle , and moved a vote of thauks to Sir narry Smith , and to the
olSct'K and men who were m that action . Approaching the last great conflict , Sir Robert paid a wcll-nierittd tribute to the bravery of the Sikh troops , quoting , in testimony , a private letter which had been written by Sir Hugh Gough immediately after the engagement at Sobraon . The General , in this document , < -J . pn-.-scs his high admiration of the chivalrous bearing » f thc enemy ; _remarking that after victory had _unequivocally gone against them , they bated not a jot of their former intrepidity" walking away after the defeat , and even in this exiremay disdainin g to ask for quarter . " He then mured a Vote of thauks to the officers and men who wire in tho ciiuagement at Sobraon .
Sir J . HosiiucsE seconded the motion , which was supported bv sweral speakers , including Sir lt . Ingiis , Lord J . Russell , Sir Be Lacy Evans , and air . lli . me . The votes -were the :- , passed unanimously .
INTERMENT IN TOWNS . Mr . Maciuxsox obtained leave to bring in a bill for preventing interments in the metropolis and large towns .
CORRESPONDING SOCIETIES' ACT . M-, T . Dcscombe then moved for Jeave to bring in a h'l to amend an act passed in thc 39 th year of thc re gn of George 111 ., c . 79 , relating to corresponding _societies aud the _Jiceusiuij of places for the purposes of lecture and readim ; . According to the loth clause of tie sct 39 George III ., c . 70 , which was commonly called the Corresponding Societies' Aet , any person delivering a lecture on any subjects in a room not duly licensed annually by the magistrates , and receive xa nicy at the- door , and auy person paying for admission , uas lia _' _-lc to a penalty of . € 20 . He would _wiittire to _ssv there was not a room in tho
metrot . o i-, or in any part ofthe country , which was duly _licensed for such _purp > ses - and persons who lectured or a * tended lectures m them were consequently liable to proc _' _-edings for these penalties . A case occurred at Hull last } ear , where an information was laid against a bookseller under this clause , by some parties who entertained a feeling against him . In that < Mse a lecture wa-s given ; money was taken at ihe doors ; an information was bid , and the person prot-e . -drd _against was convicted . The decision of _thejiisiicewas questioned ia the Court of Queen ' s Bench , on the ground that the magistrates had no juris fiction ; but that court confirmed the convic _tfciii . The object of this bill was to relieve parties front these neiia ' tics ; and he honed it _wsufd receive
th *; sanction of the house . He also proposed to amend the second clause of this act , which « perated with peculiar hardship on friendly societies esta-LaVucii for ch : < ri * ab ; c _** purposes , with reference to the _correspondence _between theofficera of such societies . The _ArtORxeT-GESERiL-said , he was not disposed fo offer auy opposition to the introduction ofthe bill ; but- there inisht be great danger in removing the _safi-guards established by the net . The hon . _gentleir-aa proposed to auienJ , and he would therefore feel it his duty t give the bill very close attention . If he found it was not objectionable , but woidd only afford due protection to the public , of course he wokI ! nut oppose it ; Irit , in assentiug to its _introduction , it must ba understood that he did not pledge himself to suupor * . it in a future stage .
After a few words lrom Mr . Iluineand Sir D . Lacy Evans , leave was given to bring in the biil .
ILLEGALTREATMENT OF FACTORY GIRLS . A discussion _en-. ucd upon a motion of Air . T . _DcNCOMiie for a committee ta inquire into a charge cf illegal tre . it : iio « t and _iinprisontuetiE of six factory girls , preferred against certain magistratesat Dundee . The motion was resisted by the _L-.-rd Advocate and Sir J . Graham , and supported by Mr . Aglior . by and Mr . Duncan . It was negatived on a division , 38 voting for and C-3 agaiust the motion . *
TUE SPY SYSTEM . The subject of thc Spy System in Ireland was referred to in the course of a conversation wliich took place npon a motion by Mr . W . S . _O'Bricu , Mr . Gratten affirming that . police emissaries were so numerous , and their disguises so perfeet , that it had got to be a constant inquiry iu many Irish districts , " Are you a policeman V Sir J . Graham denied all knowledge of these circumstances , but promised to institute inquiries upon the subject .
EVICTION OF TENANTRY . Mr . W . S . _O'Bbies _, having read to the house an account , in extcnso , _of the recent wholesale eviction of tenantry , at BaUinglass , moved for a commission to inquire into all the circumstances , and report without delay to Parliament . Sir J . Graham opposed the application as unnecessary , in consequence of an inquiry which had already been set on foot by government into these circumstances . The motion was then withdrawn . Sir J . Graham obtained leave to bring in a bill for ihc amendment of highways in England . The other orders were then disposed of , and the "douse adjourned . HOUSE OF _LORDS-Fiinur , Arm 3 .

Gerrard ' s contradiction of thc statement which had appeared in the public journals ss to the circumstances attending the eviction ofa portion of his tenantry . It was sufficient to say tbat ilr . Gerrard courted inquiry , until which took place he entreated a suspension of their Lordshi ps' judgment on the matter at issue . Their Lordships then adjourned . * We have not room for the details of this debat e , hut weshall most _lifcly calf attention to thc _sufitct nest _, -seek .

HOUSE OF _COMMONS-Fiumt , April , 8 . PPfrTPr-nON OF LIFE ( IRELAND ) BILL 1 KO 1 Lb 1 _lUiN vi _™ 1 _' um ng the adjourned Oi . the order in thedai fo won B _^ . _^ debate upon tl le _^ _^ _ZSved , Mr . _O'Cowell Luc _Orfnd ) b . _bein _^ . of _^ _^ ?* ¦ i rlhment to devise measures for eradicating the _nuses of crime in Ireland , instead ot . contenting themselves with passiug penal enactments tending more to oppress tbe innocent than to restrain the miity . After having denounced in most emphatic terms the crimes this bill professed to suppress , he pointed out thc extensive and arbitrary powers which were about to be conferred upon the Lord Lieutenant , aud the unjust immunity from taxation
tbe bill would graut to thc proprietary . He pointed out the extreme severity of the curfew clause , as well as of other portions ofthe bill . Thc measure might have derived some recommendatiou from its bihis a legislative experiment , had not the experience ofthe working of seventeen preceding Coercion Bills proved the total futility of all such proceedings for thc pacification of Ireland . If government thought it necessary to bring forward a measure for coercing thc Irish peasantry into abstinence from crime , let them produce simultaneously another bill fjv making the landed proprietors perform their dut ' e _* . "Do I ask you , " exclaimed the hon . and learned gentleman , * ' to direct your legislation for ths protection of murder ? Oh , no . 1 ask you to
pass laws really capable of suppressing crime—1 ask you to release this wretched peasantry , thc most miserable in Europe , from their present thraldomto wave a Prospero _u s wand over the mass of misery _n-. w existing , and thus by removing thc fertile source of crime , to provide most effectually for crime-suppression . " lie then read a large mass of documentary evidence to connect the prevalent outrage in Irelaid with the tenure of landed property as a cause . He called upon government to reform that tenure ; to extend the elective franchise , * to increase the number of Irish members iu Parliament ; and to place under equitable regulations the temporalities of the Irish Church _, ilr . B . Ossorxe seconded the amendment .
Mr . S . I 1 erhe " : t defended the measure as calculated for the defence of the humblest class in Ireland . Lord Joh . v Russell made one of his Whig speeches , speaking on both sides of the question , and piaisiug himself and his party for their good intentions _towards Ireland . Mr . II . BmneEJUs , Mr . Kellt , Mr . Butler , and Mr . Fitzgerald , supported the amendment . Mr . Seimek spoke in favour of the measure . On the motion of Mr . _Cauew the debate was thon adjourned . The other orders having been disposed of , the house adjourned .
The Charter And The Land. Placards Havin...
THE CHARTER AND THE LAND . Placards having hem circulated announcing that Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., would deliver a lecture on the above subjects , at the Brunswick llall , Ropemnkers ' _- fields , Limdiouse , on Tuesday evening , March 31 st , long before the hour of meeting every nook and crauny of the building was densely aud inconveniently crowded . Mr . Edhu . nd Stallwood was unanimously called to the chair , and briefly stated tho objects of the meeting , and read the following letter from Mr . O'Connor , who was detained at Manchester on the business of tbe Chartist Co-optrative Lund Society — "ol , _GrestMarlborougli-strest _, ' "Tuesday Morning , 31 st March , 1 S _10 .
"Sir , —Mr . O'Connor having received the particulars of an estate for sale , was obliged to leave London at a moment ' s notice ; he has therefore desired me to write to jou , as chairman , for the purpose of apologising to the meeting , and to explain to them the cause of his absence ; and to assure you and them that nothing but the emergency of the case , and the desirability of placing as many members of the Land Society as there was a possibility of doing at its first location , would have induced him to be absent on so interesting an occasion . " I have the honour to be , sir , "Your very obedient servant , _""WiLLuii Hewitt . " The CnAiEMAN said , —Although Mr . O'Connor wa * absent—and being absent on such business would afford them as much pleasure as his presence—( cheers)—they would find a very able substitute in Mr . M'Grath , whom he tvonld now introduce to their notice .
Mr . Philip _M'Gbath rose , loudly applauded , and entered most lucidly and ably into the objects of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , and adduced as a proof of the practicability of the scheme the ( treat mass of money accumulated by the middle -and upper classes by the construction of railways , ic , and asked what was to prevent the working _classesfrom co-operating together , and obtaining the like advantages on the l .-m < l _, and thus retain the wealth thoy created for their own advantage , nnd prevent the awful scenes now nightly represented of the daughters of industry walking tbe streets , victims to the cupidity and lust of those who , by their labour , they support iu indolence , and their aged parents , in their day of adversity , driven to the Union Wotkhouse . In order to carry on the operations of the society it would be
b -cessary to buy and sell estates ; yet the members would h . ive every security by having their land and cottage at a specified nominal rental on lease for 999 years . ( Cheers . ) Thus , he thought , it must be clear that the Chartist Co-operative Land Society was the very best Building Society ever _established . They w « re now receiving at the rate of three hundred poinds per week as instalments on shares . In Mr . O'Connor ' s narrative of his travels in Belgium , they might see what advantages and happiness plots of land conferred on the people of that country . In Switzerland the natives are , for tha same reason , proverbially light-hearted , contenlment beaming in their countenances , happiness Hushing in each eye . ( Loud
cheers . ) In Jersey the Small Farm system produced wealth in such abundance that the residents of tbat isle were continually exporting their produce to other countries ; while Mr . 3 . S . Buckingham , the grant traveller , stated that thc possession of the land and the suffrage had not only brought plenty around the door of every cottage in America , but that education and all the social virtues followed in their wake . Several questions were asked , and answered to the satisfaction ofthe meeting , which was evinced by ths loudest applause . A large number of rules was disposed of , and several shares wero taken up . After a few words from _MesBr * _. Frazer and John Shaw , a vote of thanks was given to the lecturer ; and a like compliment having beeu paid the chairman , the meeting dissolved .
The Alleged Ixcest Axd Murdsr At Greenwi...
The Alleged Ixcest axd Murdsr at Greenwich . —At the Central Criminal Court on Wednesday , William Richardson , described as an astronomer , and aged 49 , and Anna Maria Richardson , aged 22 , his daughter , were arraigned upon an indictment charging them jointly with the murder of Theodore Horatio Richardson . Both prisoners pleaded Net Guilty . Mr . Bodkin , who . is one of the counsel engaged to conduct tbe prosecution , then applied to the learned judge to postpone the trial to tbe nextscssion , on the ground that a material witness in the case , a surgeon , was unable to attend from severe illness . Mr . Justice Maul then ordered that the case should stand over till next session .
_EXCESSIVE CoSFIJIQBATlON . — _. TOTAl . DEoTRUCTION o p tub Casada Steau Saw-mills , _Rotuehhitue . — On Wednesday morning , shortly after three o ' clock , a ten-iSc fire broke out upon the premises knoirn as tke Canada Steam Saw-mills , situate at 130 , Rotherhithe-street _, near the Commercial-dock , the property of Messrs . _Vcrtue and Co . The discovery was made by police-constabl'j M . 208 , through seeing an unusual glare of light in the mill . The constable at first imagined that the light arose from some one setting the engines to work , but the same was attended with a loud cracking noise , which soon satisfied him that the place was on fire . Without deiay an alarm was raised in the usual way , but before any assistance could be obtained the mill , a building about 120 feet wide and nearly fifty feet deep , became completely
enveloped in flames , and it was with the greatest difficulty that the horses in the adjoining stable could be rescued . At the outbreak , there was an immense quantity of cut timber and veneers in the building , which proved such a powerful auxiliary to the flames that in less than a quarter of an hour afterwards the fire could be seen from any part of London . This caused a general turn-out of the engines , but some time was lost before the exact locality of the fire could be ascertained , and several of the engines went as far as Skadwell and Limehouse , when the firemen found out that the conflagration was raging on the other side ofthe river . The West of England engine , however , was fortunate enough to take the right road , and it reached the scene in less than half an hour after the outbreak .
By order of Mr . Connorton , the machine was taken to the water ' s edge , and a powerful stream of tho opposing clement was " scattered upon thc flames , which cut off their communication with Mr . Hughes ' premises adjoining . This was luck y , for two or three workshops closely contiguous had previously become ignited . The several engines of tbe bri gade , from the D , A , and B districts , arrived in rapid sucsession , with Mr . Henderson , the foreman of tho district , and Mr . Braidwood , the superintendent . Tlie County engine , from Rtgent ' s-quadrant , with Mr . Garwood , followed the others , it having , however , previously travelled several miles out of the
ngnt tract . With all possible expedition , the several engines wero set to work , but notwithstanding that every man exerted himself to the utmost , the lire continued to progress most fearfull y , aud it was nearly seven o ' clock before tbe same was safclv extinguished . By that period the mill was totally ' coiisunied , its valuable stock in trade destroyed , aud its costly _macliiuM-y rendered nearly worthless by the intense heat to whieh it was exposed . Iudcpendcntlv of tue above loss , the rack-house , a large timber building upwards of 100 feet long , is also destroyed and the steam-engine house is partiall y gutted . The total loss must amount to a considerable sum and _unlortunately the whole was uninsured . '

India. Close Ofthe War! F Continued From...
INDIA . CLOSE OFTHE WAR ! f Continued from our Fifth Page . ] The London Gazette Extraordinary , published at a late hour on Wednesday evening , contains the following important extract of a despatch from thc Governor-General , in addition to those before published : — _IndIa Board , April 1 , _lS-10 . The Secret Committee of the East India Company nas this day received , from the Governor-General of Iudia , a despatch , from which the following is an extract : — - The Governor-General of India to the Secret Committee . Camp , Kanha Cuchwa , Feb . 19 , 1846 . ( Extract . )
The immediate result of the victory of Aliwal was the evacuation by thc Sikh garrisons of all thc forts , hitherto occupied by detachments of Lahore soldiers , on this side of the River Sutlej , and the submission ofthe whole of the territory on the left bank of that river to the British government . The Sikh army remained in its entrenched position ; and , though on the first intelligence of the victory of Aliwal , and at tho sight of thc numerous bodies which floated from the neighbourhood of that battle-field to the bridge of boats at Sobraon , they seemed much shaken and disheartened , and thoug h many were reported to have left them and gone to their homes , yet , after a few days , the Sikh troops seemed as confident as ever of being able to defy us in their entrenched position , and to prevent our passage of the river .
The Commander-in-Chief was not inastatc to take advantage of the enemy's defeat at Aliwal , by an attack on his entrenched position at Sobraon , until thc troops under Major-Geiicral Sir 11 . Smith should have rejoined his Excellency ' s camp , and the siege train and ammunition should have arrived from Delhi . The first portion of the siege train , with the reserve ammunition for 100 field guns , reached the Commander-in-Chief ' s camp on the 7 th and Sth inst . On the latter day the brigades wliich had been detached from the main army for the operations in the _ncighbourhoodofLoodianalin-joinedthe Commanderin-Chief . Within forty-eight hours from that time
the enemy ' s entrenched camp was carried by storm , his army almost annihilated , sixty-seven guns captured , and , during the night of the 10 th , on which this glorious victory was achieved , the advanced brigades of the British army were thrown across the Sutlej . Early on tlie 12 th our brigade was completed , and on the 13 th , the Commander-in-chief , with the whole force , excepting the heavy train , and the division left to collect and bring in thc wounded to Ferozepore , with the captured guns , were encamped in the Punjaub , at Kussoor , sixteen miles from the bank of thc river opposite Ferozepore , and thirty-two miles from Lahore .
For the details of these ( important and decisive operations , I must refer you to tlie enclosures of this despatch . 1 cannot , however , refrain from expressing briefly the pride and gratification with which I communicate to you these results so eminently evincing the energetic decision of the Commander-in-Chief's operations , and thc indomitable courage of the British Indian army under his Excellency ' s command , . and which will , I am conviuced , be met with a corresponding feeling by the home government and the British publie . I returned to Ferozepore from the field of Sobraon on the afternoon of tlie 10 th , within a few hours after the action had ceased , to superintend the passage of the Sutlej by our troops . Ijoined the camp of the Commander-in-Chief at Kussoor , on the morning of the 14 th .
On the arrival at Lahore of the news of the complete victory of Sobraon , the Ranee and Durbar urged Raja Goolab Singh to proceed immediately to the British camp , to beg pardon in the name of the Durbar and the Sikh government for the offence which had been committed , and to endeavour to negotiate some arrangement for the preservation ofthe country from utter ruin . Thc Raja first stipulated that the Durbar and thc chief officers ofthe army , as well as the members of the Punchayets , should sign a solemn declaration
that they would abide by such terms as he might determine on with the British government . This is _ssid to have been immediately acceded to ; and , on the loth , Raja Goolab Shag , Dewar Dena Nath _, and Fakeer Nooroodeen arrived in my camp at Kussoor , with full credentials from the Maha Raja , and empowered to agree , in the name ofthe Maha Raja and the government , to such terms as I might dictate . The Raja was accompanied by the Barukzie Chief , Sooltan Mahomed _Klian , and several of thc most influential Sirdars of the nation .
I received the Raja in Durbar as the representative of an offending government , omitting the forms and ceremonies usually observed on the occasion of friendly meetings , and refusing to receive , at that time , the proffered Nuzzurs and complimentary offerings . I have briefly explained to the Raja and his colleagues that the offence whicli had been committed was most serious , and the conduct of the chiefs and army was most unwarrantable—that this offence had beeii perpetrated without the shadow of any cause of qua « rcl on tho part ofthe British government , in the face of an existing treaty of amity and friendshipand that , as all Asia had witnessed the injurious conduct of the Sikh nation , retributive justice required that the proceedings of the British government should be of a character which would mark to the whole world that insult could not be offered to the British government , and our provinces invaded by a hostile army , without signal punishment .
I told tlie Raja that I recognised the wisdom , prudence , and good feeling evinced by him in having kept himself separate from these unjustifiable hostilities ofthe Sikhs , and that I was prepared to mark my sense of that conduct in the proceedings which must now be carried through . I stated , in the most marked manner and words , my satisfaction , that he who had not participated in the offence , and whose wisdom and good feeling towards the British government were well known , had been the person chosen by the Durbar as tbeir representative for negotiating the means by which atonement might be made , and the terms on which the Sikh government might be rescued from impending destruction , by a return to amicable relations between the British government and the Lahore State .
I told the Raja and his colleagues that Mr . Currie , the chief secretary to government , and Major Lawrence , my agent , were in full possession of my determination on the subject ; that they were in my entire confidence ; and I referred the chiefs to those ofiieers , that they might learn from them thc principles and details of adjustment which I had determined to offer for tbeir immediate acceptance . The chiefs remained the greater part ofthe night in conference with Mr . Currie and Major Lawrence ; but before tbey separated , a paper was signed by them to the effect that all that had been demanded would be conceded , and that arrangements would be
immediately made , as far as were in the _ponrer of the chiefs , to carry out all the details that had been explained to them . The terms demanded and ceded are , the surrender , in full sovereignty , of the territory , hill and plain , lying between the Sutlej and the Bcas rivers , and tl . « payment of one and a half crores of rupees as indemnity for the expenses of the war , —thc disbandment ofthe present Sikh army , and its reorganisation on the system and regulations with regard to pay , whieh obtained in the time of the lato Maharajah Runjeet Singh , —the arrangement for limiting the extent of the force to be henceforth employed , to be determined on in communication with the British
government , —the surrender to us of all the guns that had been pointed against us , —the entire regulation and control of both banks ef the river Sutlej , and such other arrangements for settling the future boundaries of the Sikh State , and thc organisation of its administration , as might be determined on at Lahore . It was further arranged that the Maha Raja , with Bhaee Ram Singh , and thc other Chiefs remaining at Lahore , 3 hould forthwith repair to the camp of the Governor-General , and place themselves in the hands ofthe Governor-General , to accompany his camp to Lahorr
I had prepared , for circulation on my arrival at Kussoor , a proclamation declaratory of my present views and intentions with regard to the Punjaub—a translation of which was givcu to Rajah Goolab Singh and his colleagues , and a copy of which is enclosed for your information . It was determined that the Maha Raja should meet me at _Ltilleana on the 18 th ( yesterday ) , when the camp arrived at that place . On the afternoon of the 17 th , it was announced to me that the Maha Raja , with Bhacc Ram Singh , and other chiefs , had instantly , on receiving tlie summons from Rajah Goolab Singh , hastened frem Lahore , and that they had
arrived at Raja Goolab Singh ' s camp , pitched about a mile beyond our picquets , and that his Highness was ready at once to wait upon me . I considered it right to abide b y the first arrangement , and I directed that it should be intimated to the Maha Raja and the chiefs , that I would receive his Highness on the day appointed , at Lullcana , eleven miles in advance on the road to Lahore . Testerday afternoon , the Maha Raja , attended by Raja Goolab Singh , Dewan Deena Nath , Fakeer Kooroodeen , Bhaee Ram Singh , and ten or twelve other chiefs , had an interview with mciu my Durbar tent , where the Commander-in-Chief and staff had been invited by me to be present to receive them .
As on thc occasion of Raja Goolab Singh ' s visit , I omitted thc usual salute to the Maha Raja , and curtailed the other customary ceremonies on liis arrival at my tent , causing it to be explained that , until submission had been distinctly tendered by the Maha Raja in person , he could not lie recognised , and receitcd , as a _fneiu'l y prince . Submission was tendered by the minister and chiefs , who accompanied the Maha Raja , and the pardon ofthe _Briti'h government was _m- ucstcd on such conditions as I should liiel-Uc in the most explicit terms ; after whieh , 1 stated that the conditions having been _distinctly made known to the Minis _' cr Raja Goolab Singh and the chiefs accredited with liim

it was unnecessary to discuss them in that place , and in the presence ofthe young Maha . Raja , who was of too tender an age to take part in such matters , and that , as all thc requirements of the British government had been acquiesced in , and their fulhmiorit promised in the name of the Maha Raja and Durbar , I should consider myself justified in treating the young Maha llnja from that moment as a Prince restored to the friendship of the British government . After some remarks . _mMrdine- thc fame and
character of the late Maha Raja Runjeet Singh , and hopo that the young Prince would follow the footsteps of his father , and my desire that such relations should henceforward exist between the two states as would tend to the benefit of both , I broke up thc Durbar . On his taking leave , I caused the customary presents to be made to the Maha Raja ; and , on his retiring from my tent , tho usual salute was fired lrom our _2-l-pounders , drawn up at thc bottom ot the street of tents for that .
purpose In the course of digeussion , the minister asked , if the young Maha Raja should now return to the Ranee at Lahore , or it * it was my desire that he should remain at my camp ? intimating that it was for me to dispose of the young chief as 1 p leased , and as I might consider best for hia _highness ' s interests . I replied that I thought it advisable that his highness s camp should accompany mine , and that I should myself conduct him to his capital which I purposed reaching in two marches , that is , by tomorrow morning .
The remains of the Sikh army , under Sirdar Tej Singh and Raja Lai Singh , on retiring from Sobraon , encamped at Raebam , about eighteen miles east oi Lahore . They are variously estimated at from 14 , 000 to 20 , 000 horse and foot , with about thirty _, five guns . They have been positively ordered by Raja Goolab Singh to remain stationary , and the Mahomcdan and Nujeeb battalions , in the interest of the minister , have been placed in the citadel , and at the gates of Lahore , with strict orders to permit no armed Sikh soldier to enter the town .
It was intimated to me , late last night , that the inhabitants of Lahore and Umritsur were in great alarm at the approach of our army to the capital , and were under apprehension that those cities might be sacked and plundered by our troops . I therefore caused the proclamation , a copy of whicli is enclosed , to be issued to the inhabitants of those cities , informing them of the result of my interview with the Maha Raja , and assuring them of protection , in person and property , if the Durbar acted in good faith , and no further hostile opposition was offered by the army .
On our arrival at this place ( Kanha Kutchwa , about sixteen miles from the city of Lahore , and twelve from the cantonments ) , heavy firing for the best part of an hour was heard . This proved to be a salute of seven rounds from every gun in Lahore , in honour of thc result of the Maha Raja ' s meeting with me yesterday , and in joy at the prospect ofthe restoration of amicable relations .
PROCLAMATION BY TIIE GOVERNORGENERAL OF INDIA . Cam , Lulleanee , Feb . 18 , 1846 . — The chiefs , merchants , traders , ryots , and other inhabitants of Lahore and Umritsur are hereby informed that his Highness Maha Raja Dhulcep Singh has this day waited upon thc Right Hon . the Governor-General , and expressed thc contrition of himself and the Sikh government for their late hostile proceedings . The Maha Ruja and Durbar having acquiesced in all the terms imposed by the British government , the Governor-General having every hope that the relations of friendship will speedily be established between the two governments , the inhabitants of Lahore and Umritsur have nothing to fear from thc British army .
The Governor-General and the British troops , if the conditions above adverted to are fulfilled , and no further hostile opposition is offered by the Kkalsa army , will aid their endeavours for the re-establishment of the government of thc descendants of Maha Raja Runjeet Singh , and for the protection of its subjects . The inhabitants of the cities in the Punjaub will , in that case , be perfectly safe , in person and property , from any molestation by the British troops ; and they are hereby called upon to dismiss apprehension , and to follow their respective callings with all confidence . By order of the Right Hon . the Governor-General of India , F . Cdbbie , Secretary to thc Government of India , with tlte Governor-General .

CAPITAL v . LABOUR . The Discharged Wobkheh — _Liviarooi , _Mabcu 31 . —The greatest excitement prevails here at the pmeut time , amougBt the working classes , in consequence of the unjustifiable and tyrannical conduct of the master builders . The causes which have led to this state of ihings are as follows : — A dispute has been in existence at Manchester and Bir . _kenbead ( opposite Liverpool ) between the workmen employed in tli 9 various building trades , and their employers ; the result of which is , that a good number at those places are resting from their labours , until such time as a fair remuneration is given to them for that labour . It appeals that the Liverpool men sympathise with their fallow-workmen , and assist to support them during tbe
struggle , at least so say their employers ; and this , in their eves , is a high crime and must be duly punished . As a preparatory measur _* _. Mr . Samuel Holme , of the firm of Messrs . Samuel aud James Holme , issued a small pamphlet , and distributed it amongst their workmen . The contents arc a violeut tirade against Trades' Unions , and the usual clap-trap of the capitalist on thc subject of political economy . The Liverpool Mercury , which cackles so much about its friendship and advocacy of thc rights of the working man , was so much in love with this precious document , that it voluntarily gave it insertion , and introduced it with a loud nourish of trumpets . In tha same paper , to show its love of fair play , and to mark its great friendship for tlie working man , it inserted a short reply from the poor glass men to the charges of their
employers , and only cliarged tt as an advertisement . A few days afterwards placards appeared , announcing that a meetiug had been held consisting of master builders , & c , and that the aforesaid had a long list of grievances against their men , and that it would be necessary to adopt steps to protect—whom , think you ?—the employers?—No , the public' For these wonderful m _« n have discovered that it matters not to them whether their men receive high or low wages , for it is the public who must pay ; and as they have agreatregardforMr . Public , they thus , unsolicited , step out in his defence , to protect the poor helpless old creatura . Another meeting was held , and the result was the adoption of the following declaration , which the men were commanded to sign , or leave their work : —
" We , the undersigned , do hereby declare that wo are Rot , or will not remain , members of any Trades' Unions , or of other societies , under whatever designation they may be known , whicli have for { their object any interference witli the rights of labour , or with tbe arrangements that may be entered into _betweon employers and workmen . And we further declare , that we will not appropriate , and , as far as wc arc able , will not permit to be appropriated , for the purpose of supporting a turn-out here or elsewhere , amongst the building branches or otherwise , any sum or sums of money belonging to any sick , burial , or other society wliich has been established for benevolent purposes alone . "
This was presented to tho workmen last Friday and Saturday for th « ir signatures . This they have absolutely refused to give , and at this moment there arc not less than three thousand workmen in the building line walking our streets in consequence of then * refusal . It must be borne in mind that these men have had no dispute with their employers , and thay and their families are to bo thus starved into compliance _. Working men of all trades , it is your duty to prevent this ; their cause is your cause . Arouse , in your might , and devise a plan for the organisation of indusfru ; show these Quixotes that there is talent , truth , and justice amongst you ; and that you laugh nt their puny efforts to become the tjrants of your fellow-men .

The Strike At Birkenhead. To Tiie Editor...
THE STRIKE AT BIRKENHEAD . TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Sir , —In November , 1815 , the masons gave notice to their employers that they should require am advance of two shillings per week , to coinnienco on thc 1 st of March , 1846 . You will _percuivc tbat thu notice to any one was quite sufficient time ; and wc had no notice from them during the tunc whether they would give it or not . This wo consider unfair and unjust , as it deprived hs of the opportunity of rcconsid » ring the subject . Since the strike took place the employers of Birkenhead and Liverpool have formed themselves into a society . The first meeting tliey hold in "Birkenhead was on the lltli ult . To leave them no excuse , tho masons sent a deputation ,
requesting an interview with tho employers . The deputation handed a letter to them , and requested an answer . In reply , thc masters gave the letter to the waiter of tlie hotel , sending word that they had no answer to give . The second meeting took plaoe on the 13 th ult ., when another deputation waited oa the employers , and two of the latter came out of thc meeting and asked , in an impertinent manner , the deputation from the masons what thej wanted ? Thc masons stated that ( hey requested an interview , in order te come to a friendly arrangement if possible . This the employers again refused . The public will , therefore , perceive that wc have acted justly and the employers unjustly . —Correspondent ,

Thomas Lauder was called to tho chair , and opened Uiq meeting with a telling speech , and then introduced Mr .
William Daniells , editor of the Miners' Advocate , who spoke at great length , evidently to the satisfaction of the meeting ; after which the following resolutions were moved , seconded , and unanimously passed : — "That tbis meeting are thoroughly eonvinced that the Miners'Association of Great Britaiu and Ireland has effected great good in keeping bad masters in check , end , by carrying out the principles of anion and restriction in many districts , has improved the moral and social condition of the mining body ; therefore , we are determined to abide by the Association , and we cordially invite all miners to join us in carrying out the above-named noble principles , " " That this meeting consider the conduct of Mr . Henry Jackson , coalowner , towards his workmen , to have been cruol and unjust , and we pledge ourselves , individually and collectively , to aid and assist , to the utmost of our power , our _Biteabeut brethren in bringing him to justice , as we conceire their cause to be the cause of every miner in tbe kingdom . " " That the meeting view tho conduct
of Henry Gregson , Matthew Cully , and George Hughes , _Esqrs ., and of the Rev . Christopher Robertson ( the four magistrates who refused to entertain tho colliers' complaint , or grant their summonses against their masters ) , to have been partial , unconstitutional , and one-sided , and to be utterly at variance with the principles laid down in the Magna Charter and Bill of Jlights ; therefore , we believe the above magistrates deserve tbecsnsure and reproach of all friends of justice and constitutional liberty , and this meoting hereby pass a vote of _otnsure upon them accordingly .

The constable immediately made over to the man , and having got him into his boat lie conveyed him ashore , and afterwards to Guy ' s Hospital , where lie was questioned as to who he was and how he came by the injury in the throat .
