UNITED STATES . The mail-steamer Columbia arrived at Liverpool on Wednesday , having sailed from Halifax on ths 4 th instant . The steamer left Liverpool for the outward rojage on ihe 4 th of March , and encountered S series of terrific gale 3 . On the 18 th , a shaft broke and the engines stopped . . The rest of the voyage jras made under canvass ; and the ship reached Balifax on the 25 : b . There were no means of repair at Halifax ; and she sailed hack , wrh hut little assistance from the only serviceable engine , and against the easterly gales , in less than seventeen days . The intelligence from New York is to the 1 st inst . On that day Lord Ashburton arrived in the
Waxspite frigate . The President had transmitted a message to Congress n commending 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 , on the ground that the lands would constitute a specific and valuable pledge for the loans required by the Government . The message had been taken into consideration by both Bouses 5 whkb , by decisive votes , had decided that the Distribution Bill should not be repealed . A Strange ppoeeeding bad taken place in xhe House of Representatives . Mr . Gidcings , of Ohio , moved & series of argumentative resolutions ,
declaring slavery to be a municipal revelation of the separate States , and , as an ahrsdgmens oi the natural right ofmiD , to be construed strictly as * . o the law ; while Foreign affairs are within the province of the federal Government ; and so it was inferred , that the Black passengers in the Creole having infringed do Jaw of the United States , the Government " could not seek to punuh ot to reioslave them . Mr . Giddiugs withdrew his resolutions \ but the House immediately passed a vote of censure on him ; the mover at the same time moving the previous question , -which the Honse took to deprive Mr . Giddmgs of the right to reply . He intimated the intention of resigning his seat .
In the Senate , Mr . Clay incidentally alluded to IiOrd Afihbnrton— " He regretted ta see the -assaults made by the partisan pres 3 on the distinguished individual who bad been sent to us with the olivebranch of peace . Nothing was so unmanly or so indecent as those attacks . He ha-d the good fortune , when in England , to know Lord Ashburion ; and ie bore the highest character in Ms own country both for wisdom and integrity . The statement that he was still connected with the banking-house which be had established was a mistake : he had not been connected with that House for twenty years .. However the hospitalities of the hnd might be violated by a licentious press , he hoped that the American
people would greet the arrival of this gentleman as a 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 Jlesicans , with a strong force , the estimates of it Tarying from 8 , 000 to 14 , 000 , had invaded Texas . Jiey had occupied , at ins first irruption , Sant ' Afctonia and Goliad . Taa Tesans , who mustered about 4 , 000 , were concentrating on Victoria , Gonsales , and Austin i at which places desperaie resistance would be made . Reinforcements of " Sympathizers" were expected from the United S ; atts ; whose Government had , it is said , ordered a squadron into the Gulf of Mexico to protect American interests .

DUNDEE . —Tr-dc has been in a very depressed stale in tnis town snd neighbourhood for these some months past ; hnndreus of men , with thousands depending npon their labour for subsistence , being unable to obtain one jot of work ; and hundreds more only partially employed , earning scarcely as much as will procure a sufficisLt quantity of the coarsest food to keep soul and body together . Some time sinca , several hundreds of the unemployed elected a committee from their own number , to devise measures to keep them from perishing for want of bread . They determined on applying to the magistrates for work or food , and in the event of being unsuccessful in obtaining either , to recommend their brethren to so in a body and ask relief from such of their
fellowtownsmen as they knew to be in a position to afford it . The magistrates had no means of giving relief , and being alarmed at the very idea of hundreds of hungry men going aboni asking for bread , recommended and gave permission to the unemployed to ask relief individually . The committee adopted this recommendation : it 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 upon Major Smith , Of the 93 rd Highlanders , thanking , no donht , that his being in constant work , such as it is , and in tl . e receipt of good . rages , would be able and very willing to contribuie a little to aid the distressed portion of
the community amongst -sFflom he ivas sojourning for a time . But the gallant major cared not wheiher ihe unemployed lived or starved . He gave nothing . Mr . Purvi 3 of the Victoria Theatre , generously resolved to give a henefit to the unemployed , and requested the Major and other officers of the 93 rd , io patronize the performance . . No answer was returned , but in five days after our streets were disgraced by a hand-hill issued by the Major , calling upon the ' unemployed young men to enlist into the Sutherland Highlanders , and not be dependent upon charity , so repulsive to the feelings of a Scotchman , ' &c , &c . Is is impossible to describe the sensation which this insulting , cold-blooded incentive to wholesale butchery , gave rise to . All parties reviled
ihe Major for his unfeeling conduct . A supporter of the unemployed' issued a counter bill reprobatory of war , and calling npon the citizens to snpport the unemployed , and save them from becoming soldiers . The Democratic Conncil resolved to call a public meeting for an expression of opinion , npon the Major ' s appeal to the unemployed , and the impolicy and injustice of the Indian and Chinese war ? , and issued bills accordingly , which called forth another exhibition of theMsjor ' 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 . Tne public
meeting took place on Monday , the 11 th instant , in the Thistle Hall , Union-street . The large room was crowded to suffocation . Mr . William Davidson was unanimously called to the chair . Messrs . R . Cooper , S . M ., Join Mitchell , Isaac Peterkin , and William Anderson , in Eoul-sPrriDg Epeecbes , moved and seconded the following resolutions , which were agreed to without a dissentient voice : —1 st . ' That this meeting consider all aggressive wars , having for their ^ object the establishment or support of any Government opposed 10 the wishes and interests of the peeple , at variance with the dictates of religion , humanity , and justice ; and that , in our opinion , the Indian and Chinese wars entered into by the British Government , are uawsrthy of the support or ¦
sympathy of the British community . ' 2 nd ; That this m-etmg , having heard read the appeal made by Mjjur Smyth , of the 93 rd Regiment , w > the unemployed of Dundee , deem it an insult to the inhabitants generally—an unfeeling mockery of the miseries of our unemployed fellow-townsmen , and a production only to be expected to emanate from an individual whose profession is at variance with the better fecl . ngs of our nature , arid opposed to ihe peace ana welfare of society . * Afivr a vote of thanks to ihe Chairman , and cheers for the Charter , ihe meetinz quietly broke up . Tne Couccil has issued a bill in reply to the Major's last production , which puts that gallant officer U ) in a not very amiable position . Wul it again nerve the soldier ' s pen arm ? We will see /'

IRISH UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATIONREPORT OF THE COMMITTEE . The Committee of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association having met pursuant to notice , for the purpose ef inquiring , rb far as in their power , Into the authenticity ot certain letters which were published by the Loyal National Repeal Association of Ireland , containing a libel upon a Roman Catholic clergyman of the County of ieitrim , and published by tbat Association , for the ostensible and avowed purpose of embroiling the Irish Universal Suffrage Association in a 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 : Your Committee submit , for the consideration of this
Association—1 st That a great number of letters have been received-by a member of this Association during the autumn and -winter , complaining bitterly of the bardships to which , the ¦ writers were subjected by the parish priest of Tnmanbary , and by hia curate , for nfereiy exercising what they deemed a civil right 2 nd . That it appears by those letters that hostility to wards some of the parishioners for the crime of expressing their 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 Dsmpsfev , as set forth in the letters published by the Repeal Association , ) was forced to abandon his school , and leave that part of the country , and seek a living in some other quarter , in consequence ( as it ii alleged ) of the parish pneit , having denounced from the altar Mich of . bis parishioners as should dare to send their children to his school ; and , in addition , threatened to "withheld the sacraments from them , should they disobey bis orders .
3 rd . That , subsequently to the statement made by tte Rtv . Mr , M Hux . h , at the Com Exchange , on the 17 th of August , 1841 , letters have been received from the same persons , stating farther details of tbe hardships to which the writers have been subjected , and dHailine some further particulars respecting the Rev , 31 r .. AI * fiagh . which , if he desire it , shall be laid before the Catholic Arch-Bishop of TJublin , but before none other ; ami also particulars respecting the conduct of the Rtv . Mr . French , and the Rev . Mr . M-2 fiilly , which , should those Rev . Gentlemen require it , shall be Hid before their Bishop , the Right Rev . Dr . Brake , of Sligo .
4 th- That , although these letters are in the posession of a merat > er of this Association , yet your committee navel saw one of them , nor did they ever hear of tb = m until after the publication of the tiro letters in the Fietmans Journal , of the 6 ih inst ., signed P . J . McCarthy , hot •* ~ d youi committee have ever seen them had nos thuae two letters b « en 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 . Dtmpsey ' s priva ' . e concerns , that is t'i say . in his mercantile capacity of ageut to the Northern Star , yenr committee have nothing to do , being fuiij- aware that such interference on their part ¦ would be unlawful in the . highest degree ; but your committee det-. ni it an act cf justice to Mr . Dempsey to stale that be has voluntarily declared that he knew nothing wJiat «; Ver of the letters in question , until be sa-w them published in the Freemans Journal of the 6 th instan L
6 th . Thut yuur committee are fully aware that this open and ' avowed hostility to the dissemination of the prineiplas of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , by some of the R ^ man Catho ic clergy , particularly in Drogheda , Ifewry , Luc * n , Ruskey , and Siigo , may be justly and reasonab . y attributed to the following causes : — First—That although Daniel O'Connell Esq ., M . P ., drew up , the document called the People ' s Charter , fruni which the terms Chartist and Chartism are derived , aud tvld the Eaglish people when he gave it to them , that " he who is not a Chartist is either a knave who profits by the evils of misrule , or a fool upon whom facU and reason make ns impression , " yet he has
since 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 religion , that those who had no opportunity of ascertaining wbat Chartism really is , conceived it to be something Bo'bt > rrib ) e , so opposed to religion , peace , law , Imd order , that they felt it their duty to crush it whereevtr it made its appearance , or as ilr . O'CoDnell expressed himself st 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 the bud , and that their sacred office armed them with power to do bo most effectually . "
Second . —That in a speech of Mr . O'ConnelTs in the Cora ExcbaDge , on the 9 th of August last , be is reported to have slid , " That certain persons should be prot : Cted by . the funds of the Loyal National Repeal Association ,-from the legal consequences of having f jrced their way into Mr- O'Higgin ' s house , in North Anuestreet , and brokeD the windows . - " one sf whom afterwards most anlaciously told a reverend and respected catholic priest to Ms face and in the presence of witnesses , " that if he ( the priest ) should dare to take the chair at a meeting of ihe Irish "Universal Suffrage Association , he would seiza feim by the neck and drag him from it , even if he -were clothed in his lobes . ' And when this respected clergyman complained of this gruss outrage in a letter to the public , he was sneered at by those who affect inch holy horror at seeing an attorney ' s letter to another clergyman , purporting to be written with a view to enforce a civil right .
Thirdly , —Your committee are aware ef the difficulties by which they are surrounded in any efforts they may make to combat public pngudice , or even to arrest the attention ef that public for a veir short time , in order to lay before it a piaia , simple , and unvarnished statement of tht . real causes of public prejudice against the Irish Universal Suffrage Association as a body , and against its members individually ; especially those who take an act . ve part in promoting its objects and princi ples . It ia freBh 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 , at a meeting in the Corn Exchange ; its secretary , Mr . P . M . Brophy held up to the world as a renegade Catholic , as a man who bad belonged to the
Very Rev . Dr . Spratt ' s Scapular Society , and that ho took the scapular to an orange metting , and turned it and the religion he had previously professed into ridicule ; that these serious chaiges againit poor Brophy ' s character were published in the Dublin Morning Register , Freeman ' s Journal , an ^ other papers . That , on Tuesday , the 17 th of August last , Mr . Brophy attended a meeting of the Loyal National Repeal Association of Ireland , for the purpose of vindicating his character from iDe base calumnies ¦ which had been heaped upon him ; calumnies which not only affected his character and prospects , but his Very exiitence ; that" at this meeting ilr . Br&pby "was again described as a renegade Catholic , 'and as having belonged to Father Spratfa
Order of the Scapular . But when Mr . Brophy sought for a hearing in order to vindicate his character from those fuul calumnies , a horrid yell wa-s raised against him , some crying , " turn him out , " and some few . haviBg the h&nesty and temerity to cry " Hear , hear , " which -was quickly drowned in the nproar of the prtjudieed and unthinking . . Mr . O"Connel . said— >' ow this Brophy was a Catholic . Mr . Brophy—1 was not Mr . O'Gonnell—He was connected with Father Spratt ' s Temperance Society , and joined the order of the Scapul-iTS . Mr . Bioi . hy—1 did not . Sevtral-vuices—i" You were , " "turn him ont ")
Mr . O'COncfcll—Don't gtt into contact with him . Indeed I am sorry I have taken notice of the man at all ; but he went over to Parson Giegg , carrying his . scapular "With him for the purpose of exhibiting and turning it into ridicule—Igroans . ) This is tha man who is secrttary tt > the Chartists , and has since he joined Grt-gq become a ChartM —{ "turn him out . ") Let no n , aa attempt to touch him , because that is all Le'd require , and be comes here for that purpose . Mr . -Brophy—I only want to say half a dozen words . ilr . O'Connell—I'll not hear you , but 1 * 11 see you safe out , and no man shall juoltst you .
Mr . Bropby was then turned out , and the poor fellow wfcu had nothing to depend upon for the support of a ' wife and three children bnt his character and bis " daily labour , -saa thus prevented from vindicating that character which h « could have aaip > y d » ne , as he had the very Rtv . Dr . Spratt ' s certificate with him at the time , which he was prepared to rtad to the meeting , and "whicii certificate siaud that Mr . Brophy never did belong to the order of the Scapular , and that Dr . Spratt had always known him as a Protestant ; that although this" Cfcrniicate of Dr . Spratfa was published in the newapapera , £ ud w&i enclosed in a rtsptctful letter to -Wr . O'Connell , yet he never made the slightest reparation to poor Bropby ; the consequence of which is , that be has been driven out of the ctui . t . y ; that his children are in a state of destitution , end that his trife is lying bereaved and broken-hearted upon a bed of sickness , frum which she will , in all human probability , ntve ? recover . Poor Brophy having bfctn thus disposed ef , thus ruined , beggared , and banished .
Ycur committee perceive that the next step , and that too , on the same day , the 17 th of August , and at the same » eetir > g , was to artfully lay the foundation of daniagirg the character cf your president ., Mr . O'Higgins , wi : h a view : o destroy your association altogether ; and sltcr Mr . O'Connell had held up Mr . O'Higgics , and ycur association , as men who individually and collectively concurred in a calumny againft the Irish people generally , and the Irish Catholic ciergy particularly , and published in the Times newspaper some two or three years before your association was
founded , in which the Irish were described by an Irish renegado , ( mark , who writes for the Times , J as a * ' filthy , feloniouB multitude , " a Roman Catholic " savagery ; ' * their priests a demon " priesthood , and Eurplieed ruffiiBS , " and their religion a " vile superstition , and abject idolatry . " Mr . OConnell , in continuation said , " this O'Higginj comes here for the purpose of introducing sach a system amongBt us . After all this , what must be thought of O'Higgir . s , who addresses Komin Catholics , and wishes them to become Chartista . ( Groans . ) Do you choose to join them ? \ Loud cries oi' no , to . )"

Mr . OConnell— " I knew that was the answer you would give . " After having thus sought to impress npon the public mind by all the power and art of which he is master , that the 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 . O'Higgin& ' s conduct in his pariah ; the burden ot which was , that Mr . O'Higgins bad there distributed a most excellent and well-written document , taken from the Dublin Everting Post , and purporting to be the Canadian Declaration of Independence , signed " Robert Neelson , president . "
4 th—Your committee are aware that it is not pos-Eible to enumerate within the limits of this their first report even a tithe of the means , the unju 8 tnat > l « means , which have been used to misrepresent the principles and the objects of your association to the peopl « of Ireland , but more especially to the Roman Catholic Clergy , who have been led to believe that you are what you have been described to . be . They have been told npon 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 join it was an enemy to his religion and his country . That having succeeded in blasting the prospects of poor Brophy , your former Secretary , and banishing him from his native country ; the next strp towards the destruction of your society was that of traducing your president and representing him to the people as a man to be avoided , bidding them " to bavw nothing to do with the fellow . "
5 th—That at 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—torch and dagger men , dolnders of the Irish people , " &c . 6 th—That your Committee also perceives that in a report of the proceedings of the Corn Exchange , on the 28 th of December last , Mr . O Connell is reported to have Baid on being handed the rules of the ltish Universal Suffrage Association , signed by the Presi ent . "¦ Faugh ; is it net signed by Paddy O'Higgii . s ? nan does not eveiy body know who Paddy O'Higgins is ?—( loud cries of " hear , hear , hear , " and laughtsr ) . He is greatly mistaken if ha thinks he can have any influence among the honest coal poiters . They understand him perfectly , aud there is no fear that any of them will be got to follow his advice—( " hear , hear , anu
cheers ) . I wish my recommendation Bhould ba perfictly understood . I announced it yesterday , and I repent it to day . Let the people bring any wretch who attempts to cajole them into taking illegal oaths before an ; oi the magistrates who have been newly appointed , or before any of the old Tory magistrates , and 1 warrant that they could do nothing which would vex their worships mere than their doing so —( " hear , hear , " and laughter ) . The magistrate will be sorry to Bee his friend . there : he would much rather see him in the witness box , and Le himself on the jury , which would convict the people whom he had deluded on his evidence . You well know how it would delight the attorney-Gantril and his satellites to set ) the people conylcted . f auch crimes—( hear , hear ) . Mr . O Connell then observed that the Repealers could have no connection with any illegal societies . "
Your committee cannot conceal their amazement at the fact that Mr . O'Connell , who was Lord Mayor , and consequently chief magistrate of Dublin , did not deum it beneath the dignity of his high office to have recourse to the meanness of thus slandering , and vilif ying , and holding up to the execration of their countrymen six hundred of his fellow-citizsns , and Etigmatising them as men who were deluding their countrymen into unlawful societies and tendering illegal oaths to them , for the purpose of appearing against tbt-m as witnesses and swearing away th . ir lives ; while the paper which he held in his hand b " ore 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 such moaas —and such means only—the principles contained in Mr . O'Connell ' s own draft of the People s Charter .
Finally , —Your committee are not by any means astonished , to learn that some of the Roman Catholic clergymen , relying upon the truth of those groaa misrepresentations have be ^ n seduced into the . belief that the Irish Universal Suffrage Association is an unlawful association , and that it was , therefore , their bounden duty to crush every effort to spread it by the mea 8 pointed out and recommended for their adoption , and by every other means . Considering all the letters , facts , and circumstances , which have come before your committ-e in the course of this arduous investigation ,
itisa 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 characteristic of towns and cities , have not been brouitht more into hostile collision with their clergy than they have been ; the more so , when ycur committee canuot forget that every effort that human ingenuity and political depravity could suggest , were calied into requisition to sow dissension , hatred , and ill win , between the members of your society , and all other classes of the community .
1 our committee are fully aware of the difficulty of the task which you have assigned to them , and in repoitiug upon the subjoined propositions , which are ono and all of the deepest interest to the people of Ireland , an . i which , when compute , will form a true and impartial record of a most extraordinary and interesting history of the public actions of those who , it may be fairly said , ruled the destinies of this country during the interval which elapsed between the years 1835 and 1842 inclusive : the > ihall avoid as much as possible all personalitiee , and confine themselves strictly to the reports of both Houses of Parliament and other authentic documents .

We left off last week at the ruthless " Shaving ^ of the sixteenth Lancers , degrading them in the « yeso £ the natiteftto the level of the Ferin ^ h ^ e Padre . They were generally a very fine set of men , imd poor Colonial Robert Arnold was the finest of them alL Women who bad married their husbands with beards and mustacbios , and bad never seen them withouti , could scarcely recognise their partners , and were almost doubtful whether they had not at night got into Btranga arms . We know , t o ¦ a certainty that the change produced was so , great as tei introduce an alteration in
family matters , and that this " moral " earthquake was not settled till after the lapse of some weeks ! The sixteenth were at the taking of Bhurtpore ia 1827 , and with some other of the cavalry pursued and captured Ooorjatt ' Sal , the rebel Rajah , in his attempt to escape from the fortress after all resistance had become hopeless .: To have failed in our attack would have been tantamount to the loss of half our possessions in India , so eyery exertion , was made to ensure success . We TOuat accord the supreme Government great praise for their energy © nthia occasion , and they were well aided by Lord Combermere with-the army . Had we been repulsed and sent to the right about , like Warren Hastings , the Mahrattaa , the chiefs in the Deccan and those in . the Mogul empire , the Repaulese , and tha
whole kingdom of Oude , with the people of Mysoiea , and greavportion of the Carnatic , would have been up in arms against our authority and our native regimenta , infantry and cavalry would have mutinied , and moa » likely have massacred their European officers ! The fall of Bhurtpore decided for some time the fate of India ; our prowess there gave a shock to the 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 hand to hand in the breach every inch of ground , yet were they obliged to give way to the , murderous fire of bur artillery , and between bix and seven thousand slaughtered . We got a footi . g on : the ramparts by wading through oceans of blood , and climbing over piles ot
human carcasses ! Such was the dismantled atate of the walls about tha place of assault , that the commanding officer of the artillery diected a six-pounder to b 8 driren through the fllled-up ditch inco the crest of the breach ; and . thence to shower " grape" ? and 'AoaniaW * on tne retreating foe [ We heard from the officer him * self the whole account , and who also said that the state of the breach , from the dead and dying , was the moat horrible thing he ever experienced , and that it almost made him pause in . his career and unmanned him !!! There ; yen Christian priests ! there , you pious patriots , breathing for revenge , on the poor Affghahs , and calling to your God—tint ia war , andthat is a state ofthings that we , the overtaxed and . half starved people of England , are bound .
according to the views of the aristocracy , to support and pay for ! The ships are now sailing , the troops now embarking , and the taxrgatherer is now making his unholy rounds to furnish the Jlower oi Britain equipments for tb . 6 voyagei or in other words , decking the victim with garlands preparatory to . the i&mb ! 7 The 14 th Regiment of foot entered the Palace first and commenced the scene of plunder , and all the Infants ? i& succession folio wed . 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 ot murder , violation , rapine , and inebriation , commenced , arid , we nave reason to believe , were never exceeded in the annaia of Hindostah ) Lord Combermere ordered all the liquor to
that could be found to be destroyed , but still enough remained to complete the work of death and destruction . The , coined gold and silver was found in heaps ia all directions , and the uncoined , and jewels were countless in value . A volunteer cf the 14-, h , named Julloh , discovered a treasury consistirig : of fourteen os fifteen lues in gold mohurs and rupees , and , kept possession of it for the Government at great personal risk and danger . . He received a commission for his gallan try , which he afterwards lost by court-martial . "Vessels of gold and vessels of silver with gold 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 phreniried , and laid down inheaps , drunk with " Wood and wine . "
A very few determined men ,, after the lapse of forty * eight houra , might have regained Bhurtpore , and totally annihilated the ' sleeping and : drunken Europeans But they possessed gold aud silver , and jewela , 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 commimriat , who made their daily issues of . two dramsa day to each man , each containing a wineglass full of liquor . Officers also had their atones of brandy ice ., and the-messes of the different regiments had them supplied . The price of a dram was the dram , cap full of gold moburs , and was paid with the greatest nonchalance by the troops who were actually loaded witb them . Some feve knowing ones , got a faw gallons from the commissariat , and some : few favourite women
procured half-a-d < Z 3 D , or a dozsn of brandy , from some kind officer . Soihe made fortunes in less than twentyfour hcuTs , ' and a dtzen of brandy pi a few gallons of rack sufficed for a patrimony or a dowry . When the gold mohurs were exhausted , the dram-cap was filled with rupees as the market price , and that lasted for some weeks . As these got more scarce it fsll to four df arns for one gold mohur , that is four rupees for each drain , and then to a rupee a Aram . When nearly all the gold and silver had been sucked out of the troopa they came down to the » ld marching price , four drama for a rupee , and tbat was the average till the Govern- " ment established canteens . This they did on the principal of the savings' banks , as thinking the people possessed too much superflous cash and that it would be
safer in their hands . The regiments were getting too rich and independent , the gold and silver , although i& changed hands , still remained with the soldiery , so they devised a soheme for establishing canteens , and the profits to go for a fund for establishing libraries , &c , ; the liquors sold tp be of the very best description * and at the cheapest rate . TbiB was a sad blow to tte liquor merchants in barracks , who were obliged to come down in their prices , although officers , non-commissioned officers , and many steady privates had already realised their thousands , and many a commission we could point to , and many a retirement in the army , wonlC never have taken place had not Bhurtpore been plundered . ' Perhaps Captain Harvey Tuckett might afford ! some information on this subject ? . . . :
As the troopg got poor , they got restless also , and sonie safety valve must be fcuud for the natives at the satae time . The scenes at the Barrackpore massacre must not be repeated too often , and employment must be found to -prevent people thinking . Runjeefc Singh would not quarrel with us , althonglf we saoly wanted to march on and plunder Lahore . He said I like you Fetringheea very much , but I like you at a distance , on the other side of the , SuUedge river . I will give ' you no pretence to come and arrange the affairs of my kingdom , and as long as Hive you shall not visit Lahore , and the Sikhs shall be your friends whether you will it ox not ! ¦ - ¦ ¦ ¦ .

— v . kN ADDRESS TO FEARGUS OGONNOR , ESQ ., FROM THE CrtARTISTS OF BRISTOL . MEETING IN BEEtt LANE GHAPEL , AND AGREED TO APKIL 1 STH , 1 S 42 . Respected Sir , —We , the Chartists of Bristol , fuHy uonscii'ii '' of too sreat txertions yofl for the last few years have in ; nie . and the sufferings you have endured , ; In ynur spirited endeavours to promote the people ' s cause , deem it our duty thus to address you , in order that you uiay know the high estimation in which we aolri y ?> ur iuva . uaole sorvices ; and to shew you , that in » pit « of ad the machinations of yours and our enemies .
we cannot , nor will we , forget that individual who has for us hitherto so nobly braved " The tettle and the breeza . " We are induced , Sir , to address you at the present time , because of the recent " move '' made by th . o middle class , the evident purpose of which " move" Is , not to beneat the people , but to break up . foe present organisation , and to get rid , if possible , of the great leader of the Cbantst movement . We are told , in sacred writ , to give " honour to whom honour la due , " aud whereby it is unjust on tile part of our enemies to charge us with being " man worship- ? perSj ' because we seek to express , in proper terms , our gratitude to those who , with their time , talents , and property , have laboured hard to ser re ui 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 yotji incapable of erring liker ; others , but because you have never deceived us yefc By the middle-class Liberals , or Sturgites , as they are now called , we have been repeatedly and wickedly deceived ; and to 6 ll up the measure of their iniquities , they are anxious we should discard you to place ourselves under their leadership—to rob you of those laurels you have bo nobly and dearly won , and to transfer them to their own ambitious browa . But , inad and wild as they deenl us , they ehallhot 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 themselves above us on the score of art ficial wealth . - ¦' - . . - ' " . . '¦ - . , . . . : To you , Sir . and to them , we again make known our oft-repeated determination , that > through weal or throuah ; wo < 5 ; through evil report or through good report , We will still adhere to the glorious banner we have unfurled—that the great champiwn of Ohartisai , having been weighed in the balance of past experience and not foundwanting , has and Bhall still possessour ¦ ¦ unbounded confidence , bis past actions being a sufficient guarantee for his future conduct . To yon , Sir , then , we look with firm relianeo to lead us on to the attainment of our political rights—to you , Sir , as our guide , we look to steet us clear of those miry sloughs prepared for our downfall by pretended friends , and to warn us of the approach of our more open foes—to yon , Sir , we look for , this ; and by onr 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 under his own Vine and under his own fig-tree , none daring to make him afraid .
