"UNITED STATES . The id ail-steamer Colombia arrived at Liverpool on Wednesday , having sailed from Halifax on the 4 th instant . The steamer left Liverpool for the oatward vojage on the 4 th of March , and encountered a series of cerrifio gal& 3 . On the 18 sn , a shaft broke and the engines stopped . The rest of the voyage ¦ was made under canv&S 3 ; and the ship reached Balifas on the 25 : h . There -were no means of repair at Halifas ; and she sailed back , -with but Hide assistance from the only serviceable engine , and against the easterly gales , in less than seventeen days . The intelligence from 2 ^ ew York is to the 1 st inst . On that day Lord Ashburton arrived in the "W arspite fritraie .
. . . . _ The President had transmitted a-message to Congress recommending a repeal ,-or suspension tanta- " mount ; o a repeal , of the law passed at the extra session , for 'dividing among the States the proceeds of the saks of public lands , on the ground thai 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into consideration by both Houses ; which , by decisive votes , had decided that the DL-iribuiioa Bill should 720 / be repealed . A strange ppoeeeding had taken place in the House of Representatives , 1 L-. Gidrfiags , of Ohiov moved a series of argumentative resolutions ,
declaring slavery to be a municipal regulation of the separate States , and , as &n abridgment ot the natural right of bud , to . be construed strictly 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 not seek to punish or to reinslave them . Mr . Giddiugs withdrew his resolutions ; bnt the House immediately passed a vote of censure on him ; the mover at the same time moving the previous question , which the House took to deprive Mr . GiddiDgs of the right to reply . He intimated the intention of resigning his seat .
In the Senate , Mr . Clay incidentally alluded to Lord Ashburton— " He regretied to see the assaults Bade 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 attacks . He had the good fortune , when in England , to know Lord Ashburton ; and he bore the highest character in his otfb country both for wisdom and integrity . The statement that he was still connected with the banking-house which he had established was a mistake : he had not been connected -with that House for twenty years . However the hospitalities of the laud 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 Mexicans , with a strong force , the estimates of it varying from 8 , 000 to 14 , 000 , ^ had invaded Texas . They had occupied , at ttre first irruption , Sant ' Aitonia and Goliad . Tne Texans , who mustered about 4 , 000 , were concentrating on Victoria , Gonzales , and Austin ; at which places desperate resistance would be made . Reinforcements of " Sympathi 2 fcrs" were expected from the " United Stares ; whose GoTernment had , it is said , ordered a squadron into the Gulf of Mexico to protect Ameriean interests .

DUNDEE . —Trade has been in a very depressed state in this town and neighbourhood for these some months pastj hundreds of men , with thousands dependingupon their labour for subsistence , being unable to obtain one jot of work ; and hundreds more odIj partially employed , earning scarcely as much a 3 will procure a sufficient quantity of the coarsest food to keep soul and body together . Some time since , several hundreds of the unemployed elected a ¦ c ommittee from their own number , to devise mea-Esres to keep them from perishing for want of bread . They determined on appl > u ) g to the magistrates for work or food , and in the event of being unsuccessful in obtaining either , to recommend their brethren to go 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 abont 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 33 rd Highlanders , thinking , no donbi , that his being in constant work , such as it is , and in the receipt of good ^ a » e 3 , would be able and very willing to contribute a little to aid the distressed portion of the eommunity amongst whom he was sojourning for a time . But the gallant major cared not wbeiher
the unemployed lived or starved . He gave nothing . Mr . Purvis " of the Victoria Theatre , generously resolved to give a benefit to the unemployed , and requested the Major and other officers of the S 3 rd , to patronize the performance . . No answer was returned , but in five days after oar streets were disgraced by a hand-bill issued by the Major , calling upon the * unemployed young men to enlist- into the Sutherland Highlanders , and not be dependent upon charity , so repulsive 10 the feelings of a Scotchman , ' ^ fee ^ &c It is impossible vo describe the sensation which this insulting , cold-blooded incentive to -wholesale butchery , gave rise to . All parties reviled the Major for Ms unfeeling conduct . ' A supporter of the unemployed' issued a counter bill reprobatory of war , and calling upon the citizens to snppoit the unemployed , and sare them from becoming soldiers . The Democratic Couneil resolved so call a Dublic
meeting for an expression of opinion , upon the Major ' s appeal to the unemployed , and the impolicy and injustice of the Indian 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 other than the legal authorities , ' and concluded with a bombastical appeal to the feelings of Scotchmen . The public meeting took place on Mtnd&j , the Uih 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 , 5 . Mn Join Mitchell , Isaac Peterkm , and William
Anderson , in sonl-si : rring speeches , moved and seconded the follvwing 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 to 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 Br itish Government , are nnwerthy of the support or sympathy of the JBritiili - community . ' 2 nd . 'That this m-eting , having heard read the appeal made by Major Smyth , of the S 3 rd Regiment , to the
unemployed of Dundee , deem it an insult to the inhabitants generally—an ur . feeling mockery of ihe miseries of our unemployed fellow-townsmen , and a production onij to be expected to emanate from an individual whose profession is at Taxiance with the better feelings of our nature , and opposed to the peace ana welfare of society . ' After a vote of thanks to the Chairman , and cheers for the Charter , the meeting quietly broke up . The Council has issued a bill in reply to the Major's last production , which pats that gallant ofncir U ) in a not very amiable position . "Will it again nerve the soldier ' s pen arm ! We will see . "

IRISH UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION . REPORT OF TME COMMITTEE . The Committee of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association baving met pursuant to notice , for the purpose © f inquiring , as 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 Leitriro , and published by that Association , for the o&tensible and avowed purpose of embroiling the Irish Universal Suffrage Association io 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 . JThat & great number of letters have teen received by a member of this Associatien during the autumn and winter ,, complaining bitterly of the bardships , to which the writers wtre subjected by the parish priest of Tumanbary , and by his curate , for merely exercising what theydeeined 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 auhtring to them , was carried to such an extent that a schoolmaster in the parish of the name of Lowery , 'and uoi Dempsey , as set foith in the letters published by the Repeal Association , ) was forced to abandon his school , and lea-re that part of the country , and seek a living in some other quarter , in consequence ias it is alleged ) of the parish priest , having denounced from the altar such of his parishioners as should darei to send their children to bis school ; and , in addiiion , threatened to withhold the sacraments frcm them , should they disobey his . orders .
3 rd . That , subsequently to the statement made by the ReT . Mr . il'Hugh , at the Corn Exchange , on the 17 th of August , 1 S 41 , letters hava bsen received from the sSrne persons , stating further details of the hardships to ¦ which , the ¦ writers have been subjected , and detailing some further particulars respecting the Rev . Mr . M-Hueh , -which , if he desire it , shall be laid before the Catholic Arch-Bishop of Dublin , but before none other ; and also particulars respecting the conduct of the Rev . Mr . French , and the Rev . Mr . M-JCaHy , which , should those Rev . Grintlemeu require it , shall be laid before their Bishop , the Right Rev . Dr . Broke , of Sligo .
¦ itb- That , although these letters are in the posession of a member of this Association , yet your committee never saw one of them , nor did they ever hear of them until after the publication of the two letters in the Freeman ' s Journal , of the 6 lh inst , signed P . J . M'Carthy , nor would your committee have ever seen them had noi those t ^ o letters btcn most unwisely published , and that , too , without any regard for either the consequences or the feelings of the Rev . Gentleman to whom tbey appear to ha . Te been addressed . 5 th . That with Mt . Deiupsey ' s private concerns , that is to say , in his mercantile capacity of agent to the Northern Star , ycur committee have nothing to do , being fully aware that such interference on their part would be unlawful in the hi « hest tiegree ; but your committee deem it an act of justice to Mr . Dempsey to state that he has voluntarily declared that he knew nothing whatever of the letters in question , until he saw them published in the Freeman s Journal of the Gth instant .
. 6 th- That your conmittee are fully aware tnat this open and avowed hostility to the dissemination of the principles of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , by some of the Roman Citho ic cltrgy , particularly in Drogheda , Ne-srry , Luc ^ e , Ru > iey , and Sligo , may be justly and reasonably attributed to the following causes : — First—That although Daniel O'Connell E = q ., M . P ., drew np the document called the People ' s Charter , from -which the terms Chartist and Chartism are derived , and told the English 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 facts and reason make n » impression , " yet . he has
since endeavored to confound Chartism -with infidelity , and so artfully mixed and jumoled it up in several of his speeches wirb principles as hostile to the catholic religion , that those who had no opportunity of ascc-r ; taining what Chartism really is , conceived it to be something so horrible , so opposed to religion , peace , law , und order , that they frit it their duty to crush it whereevcr it made its appearance , or as Mr . O'Coaneil expressed himself at tbe Com 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 facred office armed them with power to do so most effectually . "
Second . —That in a speech of Mr . O'ConnelTs in the Corn Exchange , on tbe 9 th of August last , ce is reported to have said , " That certain persons should be protected by the funds of the Loyal National Repeal Association , from the legal eonscqnenefcs of bavins f jrced their -way into Mr- O'Hicgin's house , in North Annestrt-et , and broken the windows : " one at whom afterwards most audaciously told a reterend and respected catholic priest £ 0 his face and in the presence of witnesses , " that if he { the priest ) should dare to take the chair at a meeting of tbe Irish Universal Suffrage Association , be -would BC-JZ 3 him bj the neck and drag him from it , even if he were clothed in his robes . ' And when this respected clergyman complained of this gross outrage in a letter to the public , he was sneered at by those who affect such holy horror at seeing an attorney ' s letter to another clergyman , purporting to be ¦ written with a viewto enfoice 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 prt-judice , 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 prejudice against the Irish Universal Suffrage Association as a body , and against its . members individually ; especially those who take an active part in promoting its objects and principles . It is fresh in the recollection of every odo , that in August last ,. before this Association numbered one hundred members , it vm assailed in the most unmeasured terms , at a meeting in the Corn Exchange ; its secretary , M . T . P . M . Brophy held up to the world as a renegade Catholic , as a man who had belonged to the
Tery Rev . Dr . Spratt's Iscapular Society , and that he took the scapular to an orange metting , and turned it and the religion he bad previously professed into ridicule ; that these Berious charges against poor Brophy's character were published in the Dud / in Morning Regisler f Freeman ' s Journal , and other papers . That , 011 Tuesday , the 17 th of August last , Mr . Bropby attended a meeting of the Loyal National Repeal Association of Ireland , for the purpose of vindicating his character from tbe base calumnies -which bad been heaped upon him ; calumnies which , not only affected bis character and prospects , but his very existence ; that at this meeting Sir . Bropby was again described as a renegadu Catholic , and as having belonged to Father Spratl ' a
Order of the Scapular . But when Mr . Brophy sought for a bearing in order to vindicate his character from tbpse fonl calumnies , a horrid yell was raised against him , some crying , " turn him out , ' and some fewbaving the henesty and temerity to cry " Hear , hear , " wcich was quickly drowned in the uproar cf the prt-judiced and unthinking . Mr . O'Conneli said—Now thifl Brophy was a Catholic , Mr . Brophy—I waa not . Mr . O ^ Connell—He -wasconnected -with Father Spratt's Temperance Society , and joined the order of the Scapulars . Mr . Brothy—I did not Several voices—( " You wt-re , " " turn him out' ")
Mr . O'Connell—Don't get into contact ¦ with him . Indeed 1 am-sorry I bave taken notice of the man at all ; but he went over to Parson Gregg , carrying his scapular with him for the purpose ot exhibiting and turning it into ridicule—( groans . ) This is the man who is secretary to the Cnartists , and has since he joined txregg become a Chartist—( " turn him out . ") . Let no man attempt to touch him , because that is all he'd require , and he comes here for that purpose . Mr . Brophy—I only wan : to say fealf a aoz ^ n words . Mr . O'Connell—111 not hear you , but I'll sue you safe out , and no man shall molest you .
Mr . Brophy "was then turned out , and the poor fellow who had nothing to depend upon for tbe tupport of a wife and three children bnt bis character and bis * daily labour , was thus prevented from vindicating that character which he could have ampiy d » ne , as hu bad the very Kev . Dr . Spratt's certificate -with him at the time , wbicii he was prepared to read to the meeting , and -whicb certificate stated that Mr . Bropby never did belong to the order of the Scapular , and that Dr . Spratt had always known him as a Protestant ; that although
this certificate of Dr . Sp ^ atfs was published in tbe newspapers , and waa enclosed in a respectful letter to Air . O'Connell , yet he never made ' the sHghtsst " reparation to poor Brophy ; the consequence of which is , that he nas been driven out of the ccuntry ; that his children are in a state of destitution , and that his wife is lying bereaved and broken-hearted npon a bed of sickness , from which she -will , in all human probability , never recover . Poot Bropby having been thus disposed © f , thus ruined , beggared , and banished .
Yonr committee perceive that the next step , and that too , on the same day , the 17 th of August , and at the same jneeting , -was to artfully lay the foundation of damaging the character tf your president , Mr . O'Higgins , whh a view w destroy your association altogether ; and ¦ after Mr . O'Connell bad held np Mr . O'HiggiES , and your association , as men wbo individually and collectively concurred in a calumny against the Irish people generally , and the Irish Catholic clergy particularly , and pnbiished in the Times newspaper Borne 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 , felonious multitude , " a Roman Catholic " savagery ; " their priests a aemon " priesthoodj and surpliced ruffians , " and their religion a " vile raperstition , and abject idolatry . " Mr . O'Connell , in continuation said , " this O'Higgini comes here for the purpose of introducing such a system amongst us . Aftei all this , what mast be thought of 0 'Higgins , who addresses Kuman Catholics , and Irishes them to become Charasts . ( Groans . ) Do you choose to join them ? iLouu cries of no / to . ;"

Mr . O'Conneil— " I knew that was the answer you ¦ wou ld give . " After having thus sought to impress upon the public mind by all the power atd art of which he is master , that the members of your association concurred in , and approved of , those atrocious sentiments , he introduced the Ret . Mr . M'Hugn , of Baldoyle , whom he said could give the meeting an account of Mr . O'HigginB ' 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 Neetaon , president . "
4 th—your committee are aw . ire that it Is cot possible to enumerate within the liruite of this their first report eveu a tithe of the means , the unjust fiable means , which have been used to misrepresent the principles and the objects of your association to the people of Ireland , but more especially to the Roman Catholio Clergy , who have been led to believe that you are what you have been described to be . They have been told upon the authority of the greatest criminal lawyer of the age , that your society was unlawful—that it was a transportable offence to be a member of it , and that be who should j-jin it was an enemy to bis religion and his country . That having succeeded in blasting thu prospects of poor Bropby , your former Secretary , and banishing him from bis native country ; tbe next step towards the destruction cf your society was that of traducing your president and repressing him to the p ople as a man to be avoided , bidding them "to have uothing to do with the fellow . "
5 th—That at a meetiDg of the Loyal National Repeal Association of Ireland , he'd on tbe 11 th * of October , 1 S 41 , Mr . O'Connell is reported to have described your society as " midnight assassins—torch and dagger men , deluders of the Irish people /' &c . 6 "th—That your Committee also perceives that in a report wf the proceedings of the Gorn Exchange , on the 2 Sth of December last , Mr . O'Connell is reported to have said on being banded the rules of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association , Bigned by the Presi ent . "Faugh ! is it net signed by Paddy O'Hig $ jr < s ? ana does not eve : y body know who Paddy O'Higgins is ?— - ( loud cries of " hear , hear , bear , " and laughter ) , itd is greatly mistaken if ha thinks he can have any influence among tha honest coal poittrs They understand him perfectly , aud there is no fear that any of them will be got to follow his advice—( " bear , htar , aud
cheers ) . 1 wish my recommendation should be perfectly understood . I announced it yesterday , and I repeat it to day . Let the people bring any wretch who attempts to c ^ jyle them into taking illegal oaths before any of the magistrates who have been newly appointed , or before any of the old Tory magistrates , and I warrant that they could do nothing -which would vex their worships more than tbtir doing so —( " hear , hear , " and lau&httr ) . The magistrate will bi- sorry to see his friend taere : he would much rather see him in the witntsss 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 delieht the nttoruey-Gdmrjl and his satellites to see the people convicted f such crinits —( 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 tha : Mr . O"Connell , \? tio was Loid Mayor , aud const quensly chief magistrate of Dublin , did not duetn it beneath tbe dignity of bis high office to have recourse to the meanness of thus slandering , and vilifying , and holding up to the execration of their countrymen sis hundred of bis fellow-chizsns , and itigmatiaing thtm as men who were deluding their countrymen into unlawful societies and tendering illegal oa ; hs to thorn , for the purpose of appearing against them as witnesses aud swearing away tiiir lives ; while the paper which he held in bis hand bere testimony on the face of it that the society which was thus designated and denounced was founded for the purpose of carrying into practical effect by lawful means , * and-by such means —and such means only—the principles contained in Mr . O'ConneH ' 8 own draft of the Peoples Charter .
Finiuiy , — I our committee are not by any means astonished , to learn that some of the Rowan Catholic clergymen , relying upon the truth of those gross misrepresentations bave been 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 tffort to spread it by the meai s pointed out and recommended for their adoption , and by everf other means . Considering all the letters , facts , and circumstances , -which have come before your committee in the coursts of this arduous investigation ,
it is a source of sincere and heattfelt congratulation to them that the members of thia 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 brought more into hostile collision with their clrrgy than they have been ; the more so , when ¦ y cur commiUee caunot iurget that every effort that human ingenuity and political depravity could suggest , were called into requisition to sow dissension , hatred , and ill will , between the members of your society , and all other classes of the community .

Suc h was the dismantled state of the walls about the place of . assault , that the commanding officer of the artillery di ected a six-poundei to ba driven through the fllled-up ditch into the crest of the breach , and thence to shower ' . 'gr » po" and ' ' canister * ' on the retreating foe J We heard from the officer himself' the whole account , and -who also said that the state of the breach , from the dead and dying , was the most horrible thing he ever experienced , and that it almost made him pause in his career" and unmanned him ! \ l There , yeu Christian priests ! there , you pious patriots , breathing for revenge , on the poor Afifebans , and calling to yoar God—rthat ia war , and that is a state of things tbat ¦ 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 ate now sailing , the troops now embarking , and the tax-gatherer is now making hia unholy rounds to furnish the Jibwer of Britain t-quipmehtfl for ih 6 voyage , or in other words , decking the victim with garlands preparatory to Ihe tomb > I The 14 ih Regiment of foot entered the Palace first and commenced the scene of plunder , and all the Infantry iu . succession followed , Th £ Cavalry remained with their horses outside , though spnie few stragglers got in and helped theiEflelves . When th ^ troops had got excited with liquor , tbe usual Bctnes of murder , violation , rapine , and inebriation ; commenced , aud , 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 heaps in all directions , ' and the 'Oucoined . and jewels , were countless in yalue . A volunteer of the . 14 th , named Julloh , discovered a treasury eonsistiDg of fourteen at fifteen laca in gold roohura . and rupees , and kept possession of it for the Government at great personal risk and danger . He received a commission for his Kaliantry , -which he afterwards lost by court-martial . " Vessels of gold apd yesseis of silver with fold chains , and jewellery of every description Were in the hands of the soldiery , who bark-red them among each other for any liquor they could procure , who were actually phrenzied , and laid down in heaps , drunk with "blood and -wine . "
A very few- deteriuided . men , after th « lapse ot fortyeight hours , might have regained Bbur *< pore , and totally annihilated th < a sleeping and drunken Europeans 1 But they possessed gold and silver , and jewel ' s , and liquor they would have at any price . It was very scarce , and ' all that -was to be had was in the possession if the commissariat , who made their daily issues of two dramsa day to . each man , each containing a wineglass full of liquor . Officers also had their stores of brandy , &c , and the messes of the different regiments had them supplied . The price of a dram was the dram cup full of gold mohura , and was paid with the greatest nonchalancehy the troops who were actually loaded witfc them . Soine tew knowing ones , got a few gallons from the commissariat , and some few favourite -women
procured half-a-d ( zju , or a dozm of brandy , froin soma kind officer . ; Soine made fortunes in less than twentyfour hours , and a dczen of brandy or a few gallons of rack sufficed for a patrimony or a dowry . When th * goldmohurs were exhausted , the dram-cup was filled 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 ruohur , that is four rupees for each dram , and then to a rupee a drani . When nearly all the gold and silver had been sucked out of tie troops they came down to the aid marching price , four drama for a . rupee , aud that -was the average till the Government established canteens . This they did on the principal of tbe savings' banks , as thinking the people possessed too much superflpus cash and that it would be
safer in their hands . The regiments Were getting too rich and independent , the gold and / . silver , although it changed hands , still remained -with the soldiery , so they devised , a scheme for establishing canteens , and the profits to ' go for a fund for establishing libraries , &c ; the ; liquors sold to be of : the very best description , and at the cheapest rate . This was a sad blow to the liquor merchants la barracks , who were obliged to come down in theirprices , although officers , non-commissioned officers , and many steady . privates tad already realised their thousands , and many a commission -we could point to , and many a retirement in the army , Would never have taken place cad hot Bliurtjpore been plundered ! Perhaps Captain Harvey Tuckett might afford some information on this subject ?/
As the troops got poor , they got restless also , and some safety valva must be found for the natives at the same time . The scenes at the Barrackpore mass-acre must not be repeated too often , and employment must be found io prevent people thinking . Bunjeet Singk Would not quarrel with us , although We sadly wanted to march on apd pluriderlUhore . He said I like you . Perringheea very roach , but I like you at a distance , on the other side of thiSutledge river .

Runjeet stuck to this text manfully , and although he allowed Lord William Bentinckand staff , with their wives , &c , to come and have a conference , fot the purpose of being loaded back to Calcutta with treasure and jewels , yet he pet off cheap with a few millions , and threw hia sop to Cerberus , and wished his Lordship , in heartfelt glee , "a safe and pleasant journey to Bengal . •¦ ¦ ¦ : ¦ ¦" - .

As -we could not arrive at Lahore , we thought Cabul and Candahar might satisfy the impatience of the troops and make a shift for a season , and with Peshawerr and Jellalabad might furnish employment for the restless natives who .

Ma . Xewton Wig >* et underwent a second examination beiore 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 acss would be viewed . He staled that they had not struck a general balance for years . At the time of his fathers death , the bank was not 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 , 53 / , until they put in their Ehares of the £ 40 , 000 , accruing from the sale of & brewery , and divided
among foBr . The bankrupt had taken shares in a great number of speculations—an India Rubber Company , to which tbe last payment was £ 4 , 500 , in cash ; a Potatoe Sugar Company , in which £ 7 , 555 , had been sunk since December 1841 ; a concern ai Glasgow , less unknown , perhaps £ 30 , 000 , but he thought not £ 73 , 000 , since 1838 ; an American land Company , Gas , Iron , Steam-Doat , Tenui 3-CouTt , fcnd Insurance Companies . Since the bankruptcy , he had had about £ 500 , m cash 5 of which he had invested £ 300 in Foreign Stocks . These bond ^ Mrs .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sib , —The . following declaration -was made in the presence of eighteen individuals , who willaltvoueh for its correctness . John Shepherd , of Salford , Burnley , says— "lam a hand-loom weaver , and for the last eight months the whole ot our stocfe of provisions has been exhausted by the middle of the week , after using the most strict economy . I have generally gone to work on a Thnrsday morning , and all that my wife , myself , and three children had to subsist on daily , were oh « pint of blue milk , and one penny oaten cake . Our bedding was wretched in the extreme . '
I was weaving 74 « eer , 30 yards long , 56 picks in the inch , for eightpence per cut , and if there appeared the least flaw in the work there was an abatement of threepence per cut . We bad only two pieces of sheets to both cnver ua and lay on . My wife became very , poorly . I then applied to the relieving officer for some hadriiug , but Was tola by him that I pobld not have any . 1 tuen sent a woman to desire hini , 't » oorae and examine my : situation , bat && *¦ was told by him that he could do her no good , as he was not a doctor "I am Borry to s » y tuat my wife died on Saturday Uwt , on nothinK but a heap of rags ; though it is but justice to say that the surgeon who attended her freqnently ordered her a change of linem Tne day she died I was compelled through want . along with eighteen other hand-loom weavers , to sins ; publicly in the open streets of my native town j and muM ; ^ ay that the influential inhabitants generally bohavea well to us , though we were frequently annoyed by the rural police . " The relieving ' officer has tiveiv nie a note for tbe . cufSn and tines , but . nothing towards the expense of her funeral , or fiir any temporary reiief . " The foregoing declaration was innde . in the presence of van John Burrows , iteighhsy Green , Burnley , and seventeen others As witness my band , JOHN BURROWS . Burnley , 19 th April , 1842 .
