distinguished Peninsular general, who at the time commanded a division of the army. Of the thirteen men who had been banished, two were dead; the others have been recalled, and the object of his (Mr. Lewin's) motion was to know what has become of them. On a former occasion the chairman stated that pensions had been assigned to some of them. He wished the proceedings to be placed before the Court, in order that it might be seen whether justice had been done, and what means were taken for repairing the wrong committed against those men.

Mr. Lewin concluded by proposing his motion: Mr. Jones seconded it.

The Chairman. In respect to the subject-matter of the present motion, I need hardly remind the Court that it has been already several times before them, and the Court has frequently expressed its opinion upon it; I therefore feel, that the best way of meeting the motion on this occasion is by moving that it be negatived. The motion was then put, and negatived.

Mr. Lewin then moved :

"That the Court of Directors do lay upon the Proprietors' table a statement, showing the present position of all the parties (or their relatives) of the same regiment (in respect of pension or other maintenance), who were punished by award of court-martial, or summarily dismissed without trial. The same statement to show the rank, the length of service, and whether any of the parties had received honorary rewards for distinguished service to the State."

Mr. Jones seconded the motion, which was negatived without a division.

Major Oliphant here entered the Court, and took possession of the chair, which was vacated by Mr. Macnaghten.

PROMOTIONS IN THE INDIAN ARMY.

Capt. Macgregor said, in passing his eye over the columns of the Times paper to-day, he saw in the Gazette that certain officers of artillery, and of the corps of royal engineers, who have for some time retired upon full pay, had received a step of brevet rank under her Majesty's royal warrant of the 6th of Oct. 1854, in order to place them in as favourable a position as those of their rank who may hereafter obtain retirement under the same warrant. The first question which he had to ask was, whether it was the intention of the Home and Indian authorities to confer on officers retiring from the Indian army on full pay a step of brevet rank, and to permit the application retrospectively of the same principle to the cases of officers already on the retired list, as under the royal warrant of the 6th of Oct. 1854, had been accorded to officers of the royal army similarly circumstanced? The retiring on full pay in the royal army was a means devised for improving the circumstances of officers of long service, who, notwithstanding their long service, not being rich men, have not gained promotion. To be allowed to retire when their age is beginning to fail, would be much more acceptable than any chance of promotion. The object of the warrant was very laudable, and he thought the wariant had worked very well in the royal army. The principle in respect to the Indian army had been similar, and had been even carried to a greater extent. It had been usual, and he trusted the same course will be pursued on this occasion as in others, that where a boon has been conferred on the officers of the royal army, a similar boon had been conferred on the officers of the Indian army. He did not know whether it was the pleasure of the chairman to answer this first question separately, or reply to them all

at once.

The Chairman.-It may be satisfactory to the hon. and gallant proprietor to know that the subject of the application of the royal warrant, which her Majesty has issued for the promotion of officers in the royal army, to the officers serving in the Indian army, has not been overlooked by the proper authorities here, although I cannot say, at the present moment, that the rules, corresponding with her Majesty's warrant, will be promulgated either to-day or tomorrow. Yet the hon. and gallant proprietor may rest assured that the rules of promotion in the two services will proceed pari passu, and that, as far as possible, the same regulations will be applied to the Indian army as are applied to the royal army.

Captain Macgregor said the answer he had received was so far satisfactory, and he would proceed to ask his other questions. The first was, is it the intention to protect the interests of the Indian army in cases of supercession involved in the provisions of the royal warrant, whereby the rank of full colonel is given to lieutenant-colonels who have served as such for three years.

The Chairman.-That forms part of the royal warrant. Captain Macgregor said his third question was as to the supercession involved in cases of promotion similar to that lately conferred on Major-General Frederic Markham, C.B.

The Chairman.-The hon. and gallant proprietor will perceive that the same rule applies in this case which makes the promotion of Major-General Markham a part of the royal warrant, and that there is consequently no supersession in his case.

Captain Macgregor said he seemed to understand the answer, and he should like himself to be understood. He understood from the answer, that whereas in the royal army an officer who has served as lieutenant-colonel of his regiment for three years was eligible for promotion to the rank of full colonel; that it was intended that this new principle of promotion which had been propounded by royal authority in the warrant of the 6th of October, 1854, should as far as possible be applied to the Indian army. With regard to General Markham, he submitted that his was not a promotion according to that rule, but that it was a promotion upon quite a new principle, which had only existed for a very short time. It was a promotion upon the principle that upon the death of three officers, the Horse Guards might have the power of promoting any man without reference to seniority.

The Chairman.-The hon. and gallant proprietor is in error. If he will look to the Army List, he will see that General Markham is a senior colonel.

Captain Macgregor said he had the Army List, and he found that Colonel Markham had his colonelcy in 1850; his promotion, therefore, superseded all the colonels in his own army of the years 1847, 1848, and 1849; he did not, however, object to the promotion of Colonel Markham. As royal officers have been protected from any chance of being superseded by Indian officers, he thought that whatever the justice of that principle might be, the same ought to be extended to protect Indian officers from being superseded by royal officers who may go to serve in India.

THE EAST-INDIA STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.

Mr. Brown said he wished to put a question to the chairman. It might be remembered that in March last he brought before the Court the claims of the East-India Steam Company. Upon that occasion, instead of moving the resolution, he, in deference to a suggestion of the chair, altered his motion, and this Court passed a vote recommending the claim to the favourable consideration of the Court of Directors. He hoped that it was not inconsistent or incompatible with the duty of the chair now to inform him whether that Court has taken a favourable view of the question.

The Chairman.-I am sure I cannot give the hon. gentleman an answer; no previous notice having been given of his intention to put the question.

Mr. Brown said, under these circumstances, he gave notice of a motion for the Court in March next, at which time he should be in the possession of several memorials in regard to this claim. He should then move that the important services rendered by the East-India Steam Navigation Company to the East-India Company in 1842 be compensated by the payment of the sum of £10,000.

THE LATE SIR CHARLES NAPIER,

Mr. Lewin begged to ask whether the Court would lay before the proprietors copies of the report relating to the proceedings of the late Sir Charles Napier in Scinde. The Court of Directors were ever ready to produce papers that are unfavourable to Sir Charles Napier, but they appear unwilling to produce anything which was favourable to that eminent man.

The Chairman,-We shall be happy to lay on the table of the court as many copies as may be desired.

Capt. Sheppard said, I beg to protest against the motive assigned by the hon. proprietor, when he says that we distribute books that are unfavourable to Sir Charles Napier, but are reluctant to produce them when they are favourable to that gallant general.

HAILEYBURY COLLEGE.

Mr. Jones, said he had seen it stated in the newspapers that Haileybury College was to be done away with; he wished to ask whether that statement were correct?

The Chairman.—I believe I may answer the hon. proprietor's question in the affirmative. In the course of a few days a plan will be submitted to the House of Commons as to what will be the qualifications and the steps necessary to be taken for the admission of persons into the civil service in India.

Mr. Jones asked a question as to an addition recently made to the salary of the secretary.

The Chairman.—I do not know that the hon. gentleman is perfectly in order in asking this question. I presume he is quite aware that it is within the proper duty of the Court of Directors to pay their servants in what way they think proper. No doubt the increase was made by the Court, considering that it was fully merited by the services of the gentleman in question. The Court then adjourned.

BY J. H. STOCQUELER, Esq.

"This useful publication is a technical, biographical, and historical dictionary, devoted exclusively to the military sciences, the memoirs of distinguished soldiers, and the narratives of remarkable battles. The author, who is not unknown in the literary world, has produced a work very much needed at the present moment, and which it is, therefore, probable will obtain a very wide circulation. It comprehends the essence of many excellent books, and, whilst it discards much of what is old, it embodies in its pages all that is new upon the subject treated. To military men, this work will be indispensable; by the ordinary reader, it will be found an important aid to his historical and general studies. Under these circumstances, it can be cordially recommended to the attention of both classes of the community."-Observer, Feb. 19, 1853. "This is a useful and intelligent book. In a small compass, it contains a large mas of facts and dates, and the results of copious professional learning. The combination of the biography and history of the professional, with an explanation of the technical terms of the profession, is a useful and fortunate device. It increases the interest and it enlarges the application of the volume. The articles are written with spirit and precision-the arrangement and typographical appearance of the volume are good-and the number of topics embraced and terms explained is very considerable. Mr. Stocqueler readily admits that he is largely indebted to preceding writers and compilers; at the same time, it is due to himself to say, that he has executed his task so well and carefully, as to render a book almost an original work."— Athenæum, March 26, 1853.

DRAWN BY JOHN WALKER,

Geographer to the East-India Company.

A New Map of India;

Showing the British Territories subdivided into Collectorates, and the Position and Boundary of each Native State; chiefly compiled from Trigonometrical Surveys executed by Order of the Honourable Court of Directors of the East-India Company. On six sheets-Size, 5 ft. 6 in. high; 5ft. 8 in. wide. £2; or on cloth, in case, £2. 12s. 6d.; or with rollers, and varnished, £3. 38.

** The object kept in view in compiling this Map, has been to render it available to the greatest possible extent for popular use. For this purpose the names of all Stations-Civil and Military-are inserted, as well as those of all Towns and places of note, likely to be looked for. To make clear the subdivisions of the whole of the country, both British and native, the limits of the various Districts and Collectorates, with their names, are distinctly indicated. The Railways are laid down, and the trunk roads conspicuously coloured. The newly-acquired district in Burmah is included. To avoid, however, the confusion consequent upon over-crowding, and make the Map clear and easy for Reference, the names of many small villages, and places of no present importance, have been omitted, and thus a very wide measure of comprehensiveness has been attained, while needless diffusiveness has been shunned.

CHRISTMAS
HRISTMAS PRESENTS.-The most appropriate

motion of health and personal attraction: none can be more acceptable than ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, for imparting a transcendent lustre to the hair, and sustaining it in decorative charm. ROWLAND'S KALYDOR imparts a radiant bloom to the cheek, and a delicacy and softness to the hands, arms, and neck; and ROWLAND'S ODONTO, or Pearl Dentifrice, bestows on the teeth a pearl-like whiteness, and renders the breath sweet and pure.

The patronage of Royalty throughout Europe, their general nse by rank and fashion, and the universally-known efficacy of these articles give them a celebrity unparalleled.

Beware of spurious imitations !!! The only genuine of each bears the name of "ROWLANDS!" preceding that of the article on the wrapper or label, with their signature at the foot, in red ink, thus-A. ROWLAND and SONS. Sold by them at 20, Hatton-garden, London, and by Chemists and Perfumers.

OLLOWAY'S OINTMENT and PILLS CURED Rogerson, of the Pottery-fields, Hunslet, near Leeds, dated Sept. 15, 1854:— "To Professor HOLLOWAY,-Sir: I suffered for months with a very bad knee, and tried every remedy likely to benefit me without success. The joint was quite stiff and so swollen that I became seriously alarmed as to whether I should ever regain the use of it. However, by the use of your Ointment and Pills, the swelling was soon considerably reduced, and in two werks was completely cured, which enabled me to resume my work."

Sold by all vendors of medicine, and at PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY'S Establishments, 244, Strand, London, and 80, Maiden Lane, New York; and by all European and native vendors of medicine throughout the whole of the East Indies.
