      UNITED STATES . The mail-steamer Columbia arrived at Liverpool on Wednesday , having sailed from Halifax on the 4 th instant . Xhe steamer left Liverpool for the ontward tojage oh the 4 ih of March , and encountered a series of terrific gales . On the 18 th , a shaft broke and the engines stopped . The rest of the voyage ¦ p-as made under canvass ; and the ship reached Halifax on the 2 o ; h . There were no means of repair at Halifax ; and she Failed back * with but little assistance from the only serviceable engine , and against the easterly gales , in less than seventeen days . The inrelligesee from ± \ ew York is to the 1 st inst . On that day Lord Ashburton arrived in the Warspite frigaie .

      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 tie sales of public lands , on the ground that the lands would constitute a specific and valuable pledge for the loan ? required by the Government . The mes .-age had been taken into consideration by both Houses ; which , by decisive votes , bad decided that the Distribution Bill should 720 / be repealed . A strar-sje proceeding had taken place in the House of Representatives . Mr . Giddings , of Ohio , moved a series of argumentative Tt solutions ,

      declaring slavery to be a municipal regulation of the separate States , and , as an abrdgment ot the nafuia ) right of amp , 10 be construed rtricrJy as to 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 no law of the United States , the Government could Dot seek to punish or to reinslave them . Mr . Giddings withdrew his resolutions ; bat the House immediately passed a vt > ia of censure on him , the mover at the same time moving the previous question , which the House took to deprive Mr . Giddings of the righfto reply . He intimated the intentiunof resigning his seat .

      In the Senate , Mr . day incidentally alluded to lord Ashbnrron— " He regretted to see the assaults made by the partisan press on the distinguished individual who had been sent to us with the olivebranch of peace . Nothing was so unmanly or so indecent as those ai . tacks . He had the good fortune , when in . England , to know Lord ASfibunon ; and he bore the highest character in his own country both for wisdom and integrity . The statement that he was still connected vrith the banking-house which he had established was a mistake : he had not been connected with that House for twenty 5 ears . However 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 a messenger of peace . There is no danger of any rupture with Great Britain , if proper ability is employed ia the management of the controversy . "

      The intelligence rrom 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 ins first irruption , Sant ' Antonia and Goliad . Tae Texans , who mustered about -4 , 000 , were conccatraJing on Victoria , Gonzales , 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 .

      DT 717 I > £ E . —Trade has oeen in a very depressed state in tins town and neighbourhood for these some months past ; hundreds of men , with thousands depending upon their labour for subsistence , being unable to obtain one jot of work ; and hundreds more only partially employed , earning scarcely as mnch as will procure a ssiBcieni gnaxsiiiy 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 mea-Eares to keep them from perishing for want of bread . Thty determined on applying to the magistrates for work or food , and in the event of htins unsuccessful in obtaining eiiher , to recommend their brethren to go in a bofiy and ask relief from such of their

      fcilowtownsmen 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 abont asking for bread , recommended and gave permission to the unemployed to ask relief individually . The committee adopted thi 3 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 £ > 3 rd Highlanders , thinkiig , no donbt , that his being in constant work , such as it is , and in tfce receipt of good vfages , would be able and very willing to contribute a little to aid the distressed portion of

      the community amongst whom he was sojourning for & time . But tee gallant major cared no : whether the -unemployed lived or starved . He gave nvthmg . Mr . Purvis of the Yictoria Theatre , generously resolved to give a benefit to the unemployed , and requested the Major and other uffieers of the 53 rd , to patronize the performance . 2 s " o answer was returned , but in five Cajs after our streets were disgraced by a band-bill issued by the Maj ^ r , calling opon the ' unemployed young men to enlis : into the Sutherland Highlanders , asd uot be dependent upon charity , so repulsive to the feelings of a Scotchman , ' < fcc , 6 lc It is impossible to describe the sensation which thi 3 insulting , cold-blooded incentive to wholesale butchery , gave rise to . All parties reviled

      the Major for his unfeeling conduct . 'A supporter of the unemployed' issued a counter bill reprobatory of war , and calling upon the citizens to suppoit the unemployed , and save them from becoming soldiers . The Democratic Council resolved to call a public meeting for an expression of opinion , upon the Major ' 3 appeal to the unemployed , and the impolicy and injustice of the Indiau and Chinese wars , 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 oth-rr than the legal authorities , ' and concluded with a bombastical appeal to the feelings of Scotchmen . Tne public

      meeting took place on . Mmday , the 11 tn instant , m 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 Peterkm , and William Anderson , in soul-stirring speeches , moved and seconded ihe foiluwiiig resolutions , which were agreed to without a di&semitnt voice : —1 st . ' That this meeting cocsider all aggressive wars , having for their object the establishment or support of any Government opposed to the wishes and interests of the peepie , at variance with the dictates of religion , fcajnanity , and justice ; and that , in our opinion , the Jndfan ana Chinese wars entered into by the British Government , are unwerthy of the support or

      sympathy of the British community , ' 2 ad . * That this meeting , having heard read the appeal made by Major Smyth , of the 93 rd Regiment , to the unemployed of Dundee , deem it an insult to the inhabitants generally—an unfeeling mockery of the miseries of oar unemployed fellow-townsmen- , and a production only to be expected to emanate fiom an individual whose profession is at variance with the better feelings of our nature , and opposed to the peace and welfare of society . ' Aftsr a vote of thanks to ihe Chairman , and cheers for the Charter , ihe meeting quietly broke up . The Council has issued a bill in reply to the Major ' s last production , which puts that gallant officer U ) in a uot very amiable position . Will it again nerve the soldier ' s pen arm I We will see . "

      Attempt at MtJBDER . —An insane attempt to murder , and subsequently to commit self-destruction , occurred at Southampton on Wednesday night . A young man rushed into a shoemaker's shop , and seizing a knife , made an attempt on the life of the errand boy ( who "Was in the act of preparing to close the shop for the night ) , by making a plunge at bis throat . The poor boy instinctively hung down his head to avoid the blow , and was dreadfully cut across the upper part of the chin riiiht into the jaw bone , completely severing the lower lip . Tne assassin then enceavour-d to stab himself in the left side , and immediately sunk exhausted into a chair , exclaiming u l am a murderer . " The young man , who said his name wa 3 Thomas Marlem , was examined before the magistrates and remanded .

      Me . Nfvtton Wigxet underwent a second examination before the Commissioners of Bankruptcy , at Brighton on Friday . His disclosures were delivered with the air of a man who desired to make a clean breast of it , and hardly knew the light in which his acts would be viewed . He stated that they Lad not struck a general balance for years . At the time of his fathers death , the bank was noi solvent without the private property , which was estimated at £ 90 , 000 or £ 100 000 . All the capital ¦ which he and his brother had in the bank was £ 2 , 537 , until they put in their shares of the £ 40 , 000 , accruing from the sale of * brewery , and divided

      among four . The bankrupt bad taken shares in & great number of speculations—an India Rubber Company , to -which the last payment was £ 4 , 500 , in cash ; &Teta , toe Sugar Company . in which , £ 7 , 555 , had been sunk since December 1841 ; a concern at Glasgow , lees unknown , perhaps £ 30 , 000 , bnt he thonght cot £ 73 , 000 , since 1838 ; an American land Company , Gas , Iron , Steam-boat , Tennis-Court , tod Insurance Companies .

      IRISH UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION .

      REPOST OF TBE COMMITTEE . The Committee of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association having met pursuant to notice , for the purpose ef inquiring , as . far as in their power , into the authenticity of certain letters which ¦ were published by the Loyal National Repeal Association cf Irelaud , containing a libel -upon a Roman Catholic clergyman of the County of Leitrim , and published by tkat Association , for the ostensible and avowed purpose if 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 ¦ wiuespreading influence , and ultimately destroy the Association itself : '•*" Tout Committee submit , for the consideration of this

      Association—1 st . That a great number of letfers have been received by a member of this Associatian during the autumn and winter , complaining bitterly of the hardships to which the writers were subjected by tbe parish -priest of Tomanbary , and by his curate , for merely exereising 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 their political sentiments , and adhering to them , was carried to such an extent that a schoolmaster in the parish i > f the Dame of L ^ wery , 'and cot I ) e ! i . p 3 ey , as set forth in the letters published by the Repeal Association , ) was forced to ubanJon his school , and kavc that va « of the country , and seek a living in some other quarter , in cons ^ qti ^ ncs \ as it is alleged ) of tbe parish priett , having denounced from the altar such of his parishioners as -sciuld dare to seed tbeir cbildrtn to hi 3 tchooi ; and , in addition , threatened to withhold the sacraments from them , shi-uld they disy bey his-orders .

      3 rd . That , subsequently to the statement made by tbe Rev . Mr . M'Busb , at the Corn ixebange , on tae 17 th-of August , ISil , letters have been received from the same persons , stating fnithtr details of tbe hardships to ¦ which the writers have been subjected , and detailing some further particulars respecting the R * v . ilr . ii-Hugfa , whirf ) , if he uestre it , shall be laid before the Catholic Arch-Bishop of Dunlin , but before none other ; and also particulars respecting the conduct of the Rev . Mr . French , and the Rev . Mr . M-iCally , which , should those Rev . Gentlemen require it , shall be laid before their Bishop , the Right Rev . Dr . Brake , of Sligo .

      • 4 to- That , although these letters are in the poses-Eiou of a member of this Association , yet your couimUtte never savr one of them , nor did tney ever hear of tht m until after the publication of the t * o letter * in the Freeman ' s Journal , of the 6 ih inst , signed P . J . M'Cartby , Dor wouid your committee nave ever seen . J htni had noi tho . se txo Jexters btvn most twsrisely published , and that , too , without ar . y regard for either the consequences or tbe feelings of the Rev . Gentleman to whom they appear to have been addressed . 5 th . That with Mr . Denipsey ' s priva ' . e concerns , that is to say . in bis mercantile capacity of agent to the Northern Siar , yiur commiUre have nothing to do , being fuliy aware that such interference un their part would be uulawful iu the highest decree ; but your committee detm it an act of justice to Mr . Deiupsey to state that he has voluntarily declared that he knew nothing whatever of tie letters in qa « . tio » . until be saw them published in the Freemjiis Jouina ! of tue Gtti instant .

      6 th . That your committee are fully aware that this open and avowed hostility to the > . iissvnnnuUon of tbe principles of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , by some of the Roman C-ubo ic clergy , particularly in TDrosheda , ?» ewry , L ; idn , Ruskey , and Sligo , may be justly and reasonably attributed to the following causes : — First—That although Daniel O'Connell Esq ., M . P ., drew up the doenment called the People's Charter , from wcica the terras Chartist and Chartism : ire derived , and told tbe English people when he gave it to them , that " he who is not a Chartist is either a knave who profits by tbe evils of misruie , or a fool upon whom facts and reason make ne impression , " yet he has

      since endeavoured to coafoumi Chartism-with limdelity , and so artfully-mixed and jum tied it up in several uf bis speeches witb principles as hostile t j the cathoiic religion , th ' at those who bad no opportunity of ascertaining what Chartism really is , conceived it to be something so horrible , so opposed to religion , peace , law , and order , that they frit it their duty to crush it -whexteTer it made its appearance , or as Mr . O'ConntH expressed , himself at tbe Cora Exchange , " so hateful was Chartism to tne 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 th- * bud , and that thfeir facred office armed them with power to do SO most effectually . "

      Second . —That in a speech of Mr . O'Counell ' s in the Corn Exchange , on the 9 th of August last , he is reported to have said , " That certain persons should be protrcted by the funds of the Loyal National Repeal Association , from the legal consequences of having forced their way into Mr- O'Higgin ' s bouse , in North Annestreet , and . broken the windows : " one *>* whom afterwards most audaciously told a reierend and respected catholic priest to bia face and in tbe presence of witnesses , " tbat if b » ^ tbe priesti should dare to take the chair at 3 meeting Of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , he would « eizs him by the neck and drag him from it , even if he were clothed in bis Tobe ? . "' And when this respected clergyman complained of this gross outrage in a letter to the public , be was Entered at by those who affect such holy horror at seeing an attorney ' s letter to another clergyman , purporting to be written with a Tiewto enforce a civil right

      Thirdly , —Your committee are aware ef the difficulties by which they are surrounded in any efforts tbey may make to combat public prejudice , or even to arrest the attention cf that public for a very short time , in order to lay before it a plain , simple , and unvarnished statement of the real causes of public prtjuuice againit the Irish Universal Suffrage Association aa a body , and against its members individually ; especially those who take an activ » part in promoting its objects and principles . It ia 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 , at a meeting in the Corn Exchange ; its secretary , Mr . P . M . Sropby held up to the world m a renegade Catholic , as a man who had belonged to the

      Tery Rev . Dr . Spratt's Scapnlar Society , ami that he took tbe scapular to an orange metting , and turned it and tne religion he had previously profeEEtd into ridicule , ; that tnese Berious cliaiges againtt poor Brophy ' s character were published in the Dublin Morning Register , Fj- ' eemon ' s Journal , and other papers . Teat , on Tuesday , the 17 ih of August last , Mr . iJrophy attended & meeting of * the loyal National Repeal Association of Ireland , for tbe purpose of vindicating bis character from the base calumnies which hud been heaped upon him ; calumnies which not only affected bis character and prospects , but his very exbttnee ; that at this meeting Mr . Brophy was again described as a rentgade Catholic , and as having belonged to Father Spratt's

      Order of the Scapular . But Wl . en Mr . Brophy sought for a hearing in order to vindicate his character from those foul calumnies , a horrid yell wa- > raised against him , some crying , " turn him out , ' and some few having , the benesty and temerity to cry " Hear , hear , " which was quickly drowned iu the uproar of the prt judiced and ¦ untmnking . Mr . CVConneli said—Now this Bropby was a Catholic , Mr . Brophy—2 was not Mr . O'Connell—He was connected with Father Spratt's Temperance Society , and joined the order of the Scapulars . Mr . Broiby—I did not . Several voices—( " You wtre , " " turn him out ")

      Mr . O'Connell—Don't get into contact with him . Indeed 1 ain sorry 1 have taken notice of the man at all but he went over to Phtsoii Gifcgg , carrying his scapular with him for tbe purpose of exhibiting and turning it into ridicule—igroaua . ) Tuia is the man who is secretary te the Chartists , and . his siuto be juinfcd Gregg become a Chartist—( " turn him out . ") Let no Jiian attempt to touch him , because that is all he'd require , and be comes here fur that purpose . Mr . Brophy—I only vrani to say balf a uizsn words . Mr . O'Connell—I'll not bear you , but 111 see you s > afe ont , and no man shall molest you .

      Mr . Bropby was then tnrned out , and the poor fellow whe had notb-ing to depend upon for the support of a wife siad three children but his character and bis daily labour , was thus prevented from vindicating that character which he could have auip . y d-ne , as be had the very Rev . Dr . Spratt ' s certificate with him at the time , which he was prepared to rea : i to the meeting , and whick certificate stated that Mr . Br ^ piiy never aid belong to the order of the Scapular , and that D .. Spratt had always known him as a Protestant ; thai although

      tins ceraScaie of Dr . i ? p att a was published in the newspapers , and was enclosed in a respectful letter to Air . O'Cunnell , yet be never made the sligbtist reparation to poor Brophy ; the consequence of which is , that be has been driven out of the country ; that bis children are in a state of destitution , and that his wife ia lying bereaved and broken-hearted npon a bed of sickness , from which the will , in all human probability , never recover . Poor Bropby having been thus -disposed ef , thus ruined , beggared , and banished .

      Yonr . committee perceive that the next Btep , and that too , on the same day , the 17 th of August , and at the same mettiDj , -was to artfully lay tbe foundation of damaging tbe character tf your president , Mr . O'Higgins , ¦ with a view . o destroy your association altogether ; and B'ftfci Mr . O'Connell had beld up Mr . O'Higgins , and ycur associatio n , as men who individually and collectively concurred in a calumny against tbe Irish people gentraily , and the Irish Caiholic clergy particularly , and published in the Times newspaper , some two or three years before your association was

      founded , in ¦ which the Irish vrere described by an Irish renegade , ( mark , -who writes for tbe Times , J a " filthy , felonious mnltitnde , " a Roman Catholic * ' savagery £ ' their priests a demon " priesthood , and surpliced ruffians , " and their religion a " vile superstition , and abject idolatry . " Mr . O'Connell , in continuation said , " tbis O'Higgun comes here for the purpose of introducing saea a system amongst us . After all tbis , what must be thongnt of O'Higgi / iS , who addresses Roman Catholics , and wishes tb ^ m to become Chatiists . ( Groans . ) Do you choose to join them ? \ Loud cries of no , no . )"

      Mr . O'ConneU— " I knew teat was the answer you ¦ would giva " After having thus sought to impress upon 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 Baid could give tbe meeting an account of Mr . O'Higgins ' s conduct in his parish ; the burden of which was , that Mr . OHiggins 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 Neelson , president . "

      4 th—Your committee are aware that it is not possible to enumerate within the limits of this their first report even a tithe of the means ,:.- the unjustifiable means , which have btenused to misrepresent the principles and the objects of your association to the people of Ireland , but more especially to the Roman Catholic Clergy , who have been led to believe that you are what you have been dtsenbed to ba 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 join it was an enemy to his religion and his country , lhat 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 upte as a man to be avoided , bidding them " to haw nothing to do with the fellow . "

      5 th—That at a meeting of the Loyal National Rfepeal Association of Ireland , he \ d on the 11 th of October , 1 S 41 , Mr . O'Connell is reported to have described your society as " midnight assassins— torcu and dagger men , delu « ler 8 of the Irish people , " &c . ( ith—That your Committee aloo perceives that in . a report t f tha proceedings of the Corn Exchange , on the 2 S : tx of December last , Mr . O'Council is reported to have said on beiug handed the rnlcs of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , signed by the P > esi . eiit . " Faugh ! is it net signed by Paddy O'Higgi . s ? ami does not eve-. y body know who Paddy O'Higgins is ?—( loud cries of hear , hear , hear , " and laughter ) . He is greatly mistaken if he thinks he can Lave any influence among the honest coal porters . They understand him perfectly , and there is no fear tuat any of them will be got to follow his advice —( "hear , hear , and

      enters ) . I wish mj recommendation should bu perfectly understoo-i . I announced it yesterday , and I repeat it to day . Let tbe people bring any wretch who attempts to cajole them into taking illegal oaths before any of the magistrates who have been newly appointed , or before auy of the old Tory magistrates , and 1 warrant that they could do nothing wuich would vex taeir worships more than thtir doing so—(" hear , bear , " and laUjbtc-r ; . The magistrate will be sorry to see his friend there : he would much rather see him in the witness box . and Le himself on the jury , which would convict tbe people whom be had deluded on his evidence . You well know bow it would delicht the . ittoriiey-Gentr . il and bis satellites to se « s the people convicted ¦ f such crjnits —( hear , hear ) . Mr . O Oonnell then observed that the R . pealers could have no connection with auy illegal societies . "

      Your committee cannot conceal their amazement at the fact that Mr . O'Conueil , who was Lord Mayor , and consequently chief magistrata of Dublin , did not deem it beneath toe dignity of his hi ^ h office to have recourse to tbe meanness of thus siandering , and vilifying , and holding up to the execration of their countrymen six hundred if his felioT-citiz-jns , and fctigniatising tbem as men who were deluding their countrymen into unlawful societies : iud fc = nderiug illegal oalhs to tbuni , iur the purpose of appearing against tfitin as witnesses and swearing away th ir lives ; while the paper which he held in his hand bare testimony on the face cf it that the society which was thus designated and denounced was founded for tbe purpose of carrying into practical effect by lawful means , and by such means —and such means only—the principles contained in Mr < J'Ci > nneU " s own draft of the Peoples 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 gross misrepresentationa have be ^ n seduced into the belief that the Irish Universal Suffrage . Association is au uulawful association , and that it was , therefore , their bound en duty to crush ev ^ ry tffurt to spread it by the mta ' s pmuttd out and recommended for their adoption , and by every other means . Considering all the letters , faet-s , and circumstances , which have come before your committee in the ciurae of tbis arduous investigation ,

      it is a source of sincere and heaitfelt congratulation to them that the members of this society who reside in remota p-. irts 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 brought more into hostile collision with tbeir cltTg ' y than they have been ; the more so , when your committee cannot forget that every tffoit that human ingenuity and political depravity could suggest , were called into requisition to bow dissension , hatred , and ill will , betweeu the members of your society , and all other classes of the community .

      l our committee are fully aware of the difficulty of tbe task vrbich you nave assigned to them , and in repoit . ng npon tbe subjoined propositions , which are one and all of the deepest interest to the people of Ireland , an i which , -when cosuplite , 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 bind , iuled the destinies of ibis country during the interval which eiapsed between the years 1 S 35 and 1842 inclusive : they ahall avoid as much as possible all personalities , and confine themselves strictly to the reports of both Houous of Parliament and other authentic documents .

      we cannot , nor will we , forget that individual who has . for us hitherto so nobly braved t " ThebattleaiidthebTetzs /* We are induced , Sir , to address you at the present i - time , because of the recent " move" made by the i middle dass , tbe evident purpose of which " move" is , t ; not to benefit the people , feut to break up the present i organifiatloBj and toi get rid , if possible , of tb . e great leader ; of tbe Chartist movement-1 We nre told , in sacred writ , to give " honour to whom > ' : honour is due , ' * aud whereby it is unjust on the port of our enemies to charge ua with being " man worshippers , " because we seek to express , in proper terms , our i gratitude to those who , with their time , talents , asd property , have laboured hard to serve U 3 . If , Sir , We have hitherto placed implicit confidence 1 in you , and if we are determined still to do so , it is not because we think you incapable of erring liko others , out because you . have never 'deceived us yet .

But , mad and wild as they deem . ns , they shall not find us so unjust ; our conduct shall prove to them that we are not ungrateful to our friends ; we will ahew 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 .

      •• BHURTPORE GOLD MOHURS , " AND . - . -: ; ¦ ;¦ ;¦ ¦ . : ^ BRA ^ DY r' ' ¦ , . ; : ¦ ¦¦ : . M / The ; ' «* Sutledge" boundary and the " Siiha / i " " Christianity" and its " practice "It ! We left off last week , a ? the ruthless '' Sbavfog" of the sixteenth Lancers , degrading them in the eyes of the natives to the level of the Ferinihee Padre . S"hey were generally a very fine set of men , and poor ColoueJ Robert Arnold was the finest of them all . Womex * who had married their husbands with beards and rnus ^ tachlos , and had herer seen tbtm without , could scarcely recognise their partners , and were almost doubtful whether they had not at night got into . Strange arms . ¦; We know , to a eertainty that the change produced was so great as to introduce an alterafcionvin family"tnatteiB , and that this " moral ' ' earthquake was

      not settled till after the lapse cfaome weeks ! The sixteenth were at the taking t , f Bhurtpote ; in 1827 . and with some other of the cavalry pursued and captured Doorjan Sal , therebel Rajah , in bis 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 o&r possessions iu India , so every exertion whs made fry : ensure success . We must accord the saprejiie Government great praise for their energy on tbis occasion , and they were well aided by Lord Coniuti mere with , the amiy , Had we been repulsed and sent to the ria ; ht about , like Watien Hastings , the Mahrattas , the chiefs in the Deccan and those in the Aiogui empire , the Repaulese , and the whole kingdom of Oudo , with the people of Mysorea ,

      and great portion of the Carnatic , would have been up in arms against our authority an-. ; our native regiments , infantry and cavalry woui'l have mutinied , and most likely have massacred their European officers ! The fall of Bhurtpore decided f > r some time the fate of India ; our prowess there g ; ive a &uoek to the rebellions every whore so rife among the . native chiefs , that they crouched like beaten spauiels , and though the Bburtporeaiis fought like brave men , and disputed hand to band in the breach every ineh of ground , yet ¦ were they obliged to give way to the murderous fire of our artillery , aud 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 state of

      the walls about the place of assault , thai the commanding officer of the artillery di ected a six-pounder to be driven through the fiHed-up ditch into the crest of the breach , and thence to shower "grape" and " canister "' on the . retreating foe ! 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 tha moat horrible thing he ever experienced , and that it almosfc made him pause in his" career and unmanned him ! ! ! - There , you Christian priests ! there , you pious patriots , breathing for revenge , oa the poor Affghans , and calling 10 your God—that is zvar , and-that is a state of things that we , the overtaxed and half starved people of Eagland , 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 tax- « atherer is nowmakint ; his unholy rounds to furnish the flower of Britain > quipmentsforthe voyage , or in other words , decking the victim with garlands preparatory to the tomb i ! The 14 th Regiment of foot entered the Palace first and commenced the scene of plunder , and all the Infantry iu succession followed . The Cavalry remained with tbeir horses outsi < le , though some few stragglers got in and helped themselves . When , the troops had got excited with liquor , the visual scenes of murder , violation , rapine , and inebriation ,. commenced , and , we have reason to believe , were never exceeded in the annals of Hindostan . 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 heap ? in all directions , and the uncoined , and jewels were countless in value . A volunteer of the 14 ' . h , named Julloh , discovered a treasury consisting pf fourteen or fifteen lacs in gold mohurs and rupees , and kept possession of it fox the Government ; at great personal risk and danger . He received -a commission for his Kalian :-try , which he afterwards lost by court-martial . VessBlfl of gold and vessels of Bilvet with gold ihains , 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 pbrenzieel , and idiii &own in heaps , drunk with "blood and wtne . " A very few determined men , after the lapse of

      fortyeiRht hours ; might have regained Ehurtpore , and totally annihilated the sleeping and drunken Europeans J But they possessed goldL and silver ; and jewels , and liquor they would have at any price . It waa very scarce , and all that was . to be had was in tbe possession cf the commihsariafc , who made their daily issues of two drams a day to each man , each containing a wineglasa iull of liquor . Officers also had their stores of brandy , &c ., and , the messesi of the oiifferent regiments had them supplied .. The price of a dram was the dram cup full of gold mbhurs , and was paid with the greatest nonchalance by the troops who were actually loaded with thorn . Some few knowing ones , got > few gallons from , the commissariat , and : soine -few favourite women procured hajf-a-d ' . zsn , or a dcz ? n of brandy , from some

      kind officer . Some made fortunes in less than twentyfour hours , and a dozen of brandy or a few gallons of rack surHced for a patrimony or a dowry . When the goldmohurs were exhausted , the dram-cup was filied with rupees as the market price , and that lasted for some weeks . As these got more scarce it fell to four drams for one gold mohur , that is four .. - . tupeeai foreach 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 a rupee , and that was the average till the Government established canteens . This they did on the principal of the savings' banks , aa thinking the people possessed too much snperflous cash and that it would be

      Bafer in their bands . The regiments were getting too rich and independent , the gold and silver , althpngh 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 , < fcc . ; the liquors sold to be of the very best description , and at the cheapest rate . This was a sad blow to the liquor-merchants in barracks , who were obliged to come down in their prices , although 6 flice-s , non-commissioned officers , and many steady privates had already realised their thousands , and many a ; commission we coald point to , afld inany a retirement in the army , would never have taken place had not Bhurtpore been plundered ! Perhaps Ciptain Haryey Tuckett might afford some information on this Subject ?

      As the troop * got poor , they got restless also , and some safety valve must be fcuhd for the natives at the same time . The . seenes at the Barrackpore massacra must not be repeated too often , and employment must be found to prevent people thinking . Buhjeet Singh , would not quarrel with us , although we sadly wanted to march on and plunder Lahore . He said I like you Ferringhees very much , but I like you at a distance , on the othtr side of ths , Sutledge river . I Will give you no pretence to c 6 me and arrange the affairs of my kingdom , and as long as I live you shall hot visit Lahore , and the Sikhs shall be your friends whether you wili it or not '

      Runjcet stuck to this text manfully , and although , he allowed Lord William Bentiticfc and staff , with their wives , &c . ; 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 , aud threw his sop to Cerberusj and wished his Lordship , in heartfelt ftlee , a safe and pleasant journey to Bengal . . -.- ¦ '' - . '• ' " ' .. . . ¦ : ¦ ^; . ¦ : , '¦ . '¦ . Since Runjeet ' a death the supreme Government imagineii that KurruckSinghbis son , would have caused a split , but he had advisers , and though they hate us as fearfully aa the Affghans , yet do they persist i : i the same wise policy . As wecouJd riotarrive afcLahore , we thought Cabul and Candahar might satisfy the impatience of the troops and make a shift for a season , and with Ptishawerr and Jellalabad might furnish employment for the restless natives who , we see , threw away their arms , and the irregular horse went over in a body to the enemy . - ¦

      Mr . Macaulay may call it an affair of pounds , shillings , and pence as it regards the Income Tax ; might the nation not deem it something more ? The Dispatch says , it is in vain to conceal that twenty years will witr ness the destruction of our Indian Empire . The Dis patch is not always a true prophet ; ann if the liberal free-trade , friends of this destiuctive paper were at the head of Government , less than half that time might suffice for our total expulsion . Thank God f we have wiser and cooler hea-lsj both in England and India , than any to be ¦ found in their ranks , and who are now occupying themselvesi to remedy past disasters , and provide means for the safety and welfare of alL But we must not follow Sir Charfes Napier , who wants more ( gunpowder and less 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 nbtidn should it prevail . " '"' ¦ ' ¦ . ' ' . .

      We must keep to , the southward of the Indus and Sutledge rivers ; and if we wish not to spurn Christianity altogether from our ranks , and cast it from na iu practice , no . more plundering of towns and massacreicg the inhabitants , but : look to our present possessions , repair our errors , be just and humane , and we inay yet be prosperous and happy . The NonconformistSometime ago said , "They , tho priesthood , have allied Christianity with physical force , smeared her beauty with gunpowder and blood , sent her into the land accompanied by troops of policemen and bands of military , put into her hands a licenfie to plunder , armed her with powtr to enter tbe dwellings of the reluctant , to aeizo booty , and distribute among her followers , to imprison gafnsayers and indorse the warrants for ' their apprehension with take no bail , to shoot widows' sons and cleave the skulls of poo fatherless children , —and all this that she may have gold to give to the clergy . / : : ' .

"I was weaving 74 geer , 30 yards long , 56 picks in the inch , for eightpence per cut , and if there appeared the least fliw in the work there was an abatement ol threepence per cut . We had only two pieces of sheets to both cover ua and lay oa . My wife became very poorly . I then applied to the relieving officer for some bedding , but was told by him that I could hot have any . I then sent a Woman to desire him ta come and examine my situation , byt she was told by him that he could do her no good , as he was not a doctor . " I am sorry to say that my wife died on Saturday last , on nothing but a heap of irags ; though it is but justice to say that the surgeon who attended her frequently ordered her a change of linen . The day she riied I was cerapeiled through want , ulong with eighteen other band-loom weavers , to sing publicly in the open streets of my native town ; and mUfct say that the influential inhabitants generally behaved well to us , though we were frequently annoyed by the rural police .
