19 THE TIMES, MONDAY, APRIL 19, J875. INDIA. (IMK otm owa ooBmrtareMrrl) CALCUTTA, HxicaO. Tha tat Msstkg of the Bwoda Oomminloners skies the kt of the pubik inquiry ni held, at PomWj oa Mm ttta. Only the President.

Sir Bkhatd Meade, tad Mr, Melvill attended. Oath which, it ksaid, the Breathers decided on the general purport of their Report. They will uuabli agaia to u4 it supposed will thea finish their deliberations and despatch their Report, to the Viceroy. Nothing has beea allowed to transpire as to the Tiew they hare taken of the evidence. Various sad contradictory rumours eie in rir they art mere nmcurs, and nothing more, A Bombay telegram published by the CalcutU papers this morning tell us that at least one member will ap pead hk individual opinion.

Thk would teem to imply that the Uommiesioaera hare not beea able to come to an unanimous finding. Bat the tele jrara thoald probably be taken aa a mere statement of the current gossip of Bombay, and not as being founded upon any tnutworthy information. It ia rery unlikely that Bir Richard Couch' or hia col leaguea will give aay Indication of their decision before it haa beea officially announced by the Goreraaeat of India. It it stated that meeting of the Supreme Coun cil will be held at Delhi to morrow, and it is pot sibk that the Quikwar 's fate may there and then be determined. Bat this, again, is hardly probable.

It ia true that the popular belief may be wrong, and that the Commissioners may hare already completed their Report. Bat even if they have done so. Lord Northbrook could haTe only a telegraphic abstract of it in his hands by to morrow. Action might be takes upon such an abstract, but the general impression is that nothing will be done until the fall particulars come before the Council, The chances are that at least a week, and perhaps a con siderably longer time, wiU ekpse before the matter is nearly settled. Then knuch direreity of opinion as to the probable result of the inquiry.

On the one hand, a large class of persons hold that the evidence has brought guilt home to the Guikwar ia a most conclusive manner, aad that the cross examination of the witnesses wholly failed in shaking the case made out by the prosecution. On the other hand, there are not want. Lag saaay who look upon thai ease as a conspiracy cleverly planned by the police, and who assert that the principal witnesses were altogether broken down by Serjeant Ballantine. It is dfficult to ssy which of thee two opinions preponderates among the Earopeaa eeeamanity. The aatives, think, are decidedly inclined to adopt the latter view.

The Viceregal festivities ai Delhi hare beea Very reoeeesfel. The elephant procession, jwhich passed from ta railway station, round the Jumma Musjid, and through the great street of the Chaadnee Chowk, to the Lahore Gate, is said to hare been migwlfioent spectacle. The durbar went off well, although fu success was to some extent marred by a contrttmpt. It appears that a question as to precedence arose; between the Chiek of Rajpootana and those from the Punjab. The dificalty wasTsolred by leering the Rajpoots out altogether.

They were, ho we very consoled by being privately received by Lord Northbrook, and it is rumoured that by way of further consolation, a durbar for the Pnnoes of Rajpootana only will be held at Ajmero next cold season. In his ad' dress to the assembled Punjab Chiefs the Viceroy dwelt upon some topks of publk interest. Ho alluded to the dispute which has arisen with the King of Barmah, and expressed a hope that Delias Forsyth's mission might succeed in bringing about aa amicable settlement. He also ffiekiiy announced the contemplated visit of the Prince of Wales to India. On the 24th he receded an address from the Municipality, aad the same ereaing inspected the mannfaetnres of Delhi.

Yesterday aad to day were to hart beea devoted to a visit to the Kootub Mintr, aa aaeteat tower some 16 miles distaat from tho city. Next week I2orthbroek proceeds to Putteeek, tov risit the Maharajah. The Croverarneat of India is evidently determined to shew the Slag of Barmah that it will brook no delay la the settJemeat of the boundary question. Yesterday morakg a wing of the 4th Native Infantry sailed from Madras for Rangoon. It is probable that some farther reinforcements will follow.

The object of despatching these troops is to strengthen the garrisons si Rangoon aad Moulmein, aad to supply the place of detachments which have been sent up from tabs towns to the frontier. It was reported last week that a European regiment wouldlako proceed to Rangoon. We have heard nothtag farther of this, and it would now seem as if tM rumour were premature. Should it, how. ever, tara out to be eorrect, it is probable that the regiaeat will be selected from among those stationed in the Madras Presidency.

The European force now in Rritkhr Barmah consist of three or four batteries of Artniery and two recriments of one of which garrisons Rangoon, while the other divided between the frontier posts of Thayeiesoy aad Toaghoo. The native troops are entirely supplied by iha Madras Army. Sir Douglas Forsyth starts on hk minion, I believe, in about a fertaigai. He proceeds front Calcutta to Baageefi, tad thence by speekl steamer to Man daisy. The precise nature of his.

has not trsnraired, bat it geaerally believed that he invested with very extensive powers, aad that he wiH be authorised to insist upon a full renunciation of the eisims put forward by the King ox jjiirman to sovereignty over tae portion of tne Karen terrHerv lying to the south of Lord Dal bousk's bouadary liae. The provaknt idea here that the King will give aa soon as he finds that we are ta earaeet. Jt it is well teat every precau Lioaeheasd bo taken. "Of all the EsUrn nations with whkh the Goverameat of Iadk has had to do, the Burmese ware the meat arronataad overbeariaff." Bo wrote Lord Dslhousie 19 years ago, aad it may be that thk arrogant aad overbearing' nation has already forgotten tne severe lesson which had lately neea aaafuseerea to it waea taoM warua were TbeNsgaEmedrtioa proceeding not, it true, very rapidly, bat still ma safiokatly satis torr manner. Oa the 6th th 48d Assam Native Infantry arrived at a pkao known by the aame of Bor Maiou.

After an interval of a few days they were followed by the 44th Sylhet Light Infantry. By tha lfth the wbok of ColoaalNutUl's force had assembled at Bor Metoa. A bridgo had beea thrown across the DAfi River, whkh had to be passed in the coarse of the march to BorBangsang, the next haltiag jjlacc 'DetaohmeaU were to hare beea left at Bor Mutoa aad Bor Bsngssng, sad the troops would thea march against the tea oaend teg vitlases. A telegram whieh appeared ia one of the Caleatta papers a few days ago telk us that Sannu; the first of these rfflsges, was captured without fighting on the 14th.

Bee the evidence on; pages 2,333, 2,931, and 2.D3C of the Shorthand Writen Notes of the Proceeding ia the late Trial. Yours truly, VT. J. TAYLOR, A Member of the Late Tkhborne Jury. Stakes, April 17.

Mx. Aech. The sgri cultural Umonkk employed in a somber of parishea within a circuit of about 20 mile around Htmgerf ord. and reprewnting an extensive district in Berks. Hants, and Wilts, made a great demonstration last Friday sight, ia the open air, as the downs close to tLe tows.

tad, the moon shining brightly, the meeting was continued for more than two hours. Mr. Archthe iTendent of the National Agricultural Labourers Union, was present, baring bees escorted through the streets to the place of meeting by several Primitive Methodist ministers, at the head of a vist crowd of labourers, who carried flags were accompanied by a brass band, which had been engaged irom a neighbouring town, jttunas ox eppiauM were girea ft Joeeoh Arch? who delivered an eneweue address ea the diaerent questions sssodated with the morsmeat of there to contend that the agricultural labourers a a clssawere angels. They were merely men fallible men; sad he would saT if thrr had done wronz. let them endeavour to mead their ways.

As a class they might have done wrong but it was a certain fact they had, as a data, been wronged in the past, It appeared to him somewhat strange that since the labourers had begun to do what they could to elevate themselves by a legitimate orpnitstina such tmmM hostility should have sprung up against the movement, especially as the agricultural labourers as a class had sever tried to wrong or interfere with those of other grades In society Sad need tne same means as tney were adoptis to day. The Houses of Lords and Commons were great csgnixattons, while the lawyers and clergy and all other classes of Her Majesty's subjects combined together to protect their inter eats and defend their rights. If the classes above them had a rixht to unite without being interfered with and abused, the agricultural labourers had an equal right to adopt the same course. It must be clear to every observant mind that this movement had already done much in the way of lmproviag the material condition of the agricultural labourer. When he commenced this movement in 1672 he had a higher idea respecting it than to believe that all the benefit they would derive from it would be a rise wsges to the extent of 2s.

or 3c. per week. He felt conrinoed when he set out oa this work that if the. labourers could only be reached and by sound and honest argument their Intelligence would be developed. Previously many of them had no opportunity of elevating themselves, for in numerous cases they were treated with less consideration than was shown 10 1MB BWDi.

mus. a. crj, iui ventured to say that they aa a class sever read or thought ao kaenlv or seoke aa freelr aa uev did sow. liat lor this movement thousands would have remained in irscr the inspired Book of Ood would have beea entirely sealed, instead ol being read in war nomes, as naa been tinea this movement had existed. Another thins that had beea achieved by the movement was this it hid taught many employers of labour good behaviour, and he proposed tbat wnea we masters naa naa two or wree years more scnooi imr.

the labourers should send their wives to them with sub scription boxes sad ask them to pay for their education. He telt was ware was, oeyona au aouot, a ongnier ana a dcv tar future for the agricultaral lafcourers 01 Kngiann. Ins future would be bright if they only determined to make it so, and, with hops weir breasts, keep steadily pressugon. ne urea to near wem snout ana sing, but shouting hurrahl" and spending their mosey at the beerhouse would not make their future briiht. If ther were sober, united, and perseverinx.

their future would be prosperous sad happy. Hs wanted to see them. ia possession of politics 1 power, and capable of txercising it lyiYfnti. taa independently, aad not become weather cock politicians, as was the case with too many of the farmers, who were blows "about Just as weir landlords pleased. Ih farmere had their grievances as well ea th labourers, aad or years past they hid had aa opportunity of getting those grievances redressed, bat they had never had we.oeursgo to do so, but had beea content to sit crouched at tWfeet of weir landlords, like a dog beneath the hunter's whip.

They had had no political programme or spirit of own. xnere were, oi course, nonouraoie xoepuaas. New the farmers beginning to make up for thrpest, sad were stirring for a Tenant Right Bill. The Bilrtatro duced by Mr. Howard and Mr.

Bead would, no doubt, have proved a good one had itpeseed, but that Bill got the dirty kiek out. (Laughter.) The Duks of Richmond had introduced a Bui is to the House of Lords relating te sgricultursl' holdings but Lord Oranville, speaking reference to it on Xhursdav sight, had' compared it to one of the coloured bladders sold about the streets to children. It looked very pretty, but when opened there was sowing ia U. While the last general election was proceeding he was riding in tbe train with some farmers who did sot.koow him, and one of them exclaimed, If we get a good OonservitlTe aovernment in this sbomlniMe Uawa will be put: down and Arch's mouth stepped." That was the Idea those Tom noddies had got into) weir heads. They also thooght they would have a good Tenant Bight Bill from the Tory Goverameat, but thev trusted to a broken Read." (Laughter.) Mr.

Clare Bewail Read was the only tenant farmer in the House of Commons, sad all of his worrying the Government oa the Tenant Right question was got rid of by riving him a snug office in Dowiiiag ttrect, while his friend, Sr Msssty Lopes, was sent oa, on aa sttractivs salary, to iaspect rotten He vestured to say Mr. Read would never go into Parliament again for West Norfolk. Mr. Arch would go down there and pull the wool off the farmers eyes. The only hope the farmers had ia the way of Tenant Right was to help the labourers improve their position and get political power, which they could then use ia sending farmers to Parliament to represent their elass, ss other classes were represented.

A Colo Wzlcxjmz, We feel it our duty to draw the attention of the Hons Ouards to the masher la which the reception of the 3d Battalion ef the Grenadier Guards ia London was carried cut so on it return last. Saturday from Ireland. It is said and, we believe, with accuracy that on the arrival of the detachment, which marched to the Saint George's Barracks, not only wets; the barracks tan nA kamatiaall elauid. bui rifl Official WSS ljreSSnt to open them aadlhat thus, towards midnight, the men, reehfrom oa board ship, were threatened with the prospect of spading the adght in the open sir. It appears that the whale battalion arrived at Westminster abeui 10 o'clock oa Saturday evening that next day, bring Sunday, the baggage of the married people could brought to weir quarters, and the condition of theVwomen end' children was Inconsequence miserable.

We give these reports, which we would fala hope to find contradicted, as we feel certaia that tbey have only to reach the ear of we highest military authority, when an Inquiry is certain to be instituted, aad the blame for duly apportioned. It is surely sot too much to expect rom our administrators that such arrangemeate should not be mads in the movement of a tingle battalion as necessitate women and ehil dreo, without beds or furaiture, being landed from a stormy voysge towards midnight oa a Saturday night, when the shops are closed, and not even the most ordinary necessaries of life can be bought Nor la It, surely, too exorbitant a demand to solicit that when troepa march into a garrison some Staff officer should meet them on their arrival, aad be responsible for some organization for their com txi.J.rwijfm4Jfary QmutU.

The Craven meeting, held on Newmarket heath during the past week, was a decided improvement upon last years racing, when tne meagre fields were not even compensated for by the 'superior quality of the competitors, save in one or two instances. On tbe present cccsxkn fields were numerically stronger, and tbe penonnxnees ol tne tnree year olds especially intereatine in regard to the future.

The turf was in cood cider, consequent upon the rains of the preceding ten days, and there Were no breaJangs down, ai though for months previously the firadually increasing hardness of the ground had ed to ominous forebodings in regard to horses whose for elect were none ol the best. On Tuesday '''racing began on the easy Ditch Mile, rather less than 8 furlongs down hill, Lord Falmouth's Uarteriv Bell and Prince grttykotTs Timour alone coing to the post. The former was reported to be not quite himself, so the ring fielded for Timour a great, powerful chestnut colt by Cambuscan from Lady Sophie still, odds of 2 to 1 were settled upon Qarterly Bell with more or less freedom. The contest was watched with considerable interest, for Timour was ona of the favourites for the City aad Suburban Handicap, to be run thk weekatEpsom and GarterlyBelL presumed to be Lord almoutn oesc inreo year oia. naa oeen Wvilv tunnorted during the winter for both Two Thousand Guineas and Derby.

The two competitors made a race of it the whole way, Timour with a trifling advantage until a hundred yards below the iudee box. when he waa seen to be in trouble but. as Garterly Bell's jockey raised hk whip almost at the same moment, it became an exciting finish. For a moment Timour appeared hkely to have the best of the struggle, but Archer contrived to get GarterlY Bell uu to him close upon the post, and won by a neck both horses all out. The result seemed to be considered very detrimental to Qarterly Hell's future prospects, as at level weights he only just succeeded in Destlng a ncca a none nanaicappca in the City and Suburban at est, the lowest weight.

Otherwise, assuming Lord Falmouth colt to have made the necessary, improvement from a two year old to a three year old, Timour must be very dangerous at Epsom, if only a tiny boy of the above weizht can control such a powerful horse on such an awkward course among a crowd of horses. It just possible, however, that both horses are only of moderate quality. The Bretby Plate, run over tbe last six furlongs of the Bowley Mile by three year olds and upwards, was ron in a canter by Sir A. de Botlischild's Carnelian, three years, carrying the heavy weight of 7st. in the familiar blue and yellow of the kte Baron Rothschild.

By the decease of the Baron, Carnelian, Ooomassie, and Pedometer, who were believed last year to be two year olds of more than average excellence, became disqualified for their three year old engagements but the favourable impression created dt Carnelian, handsome horse as he unquestionably was considerably modified later in theweelc For the Thirty ninth Riddlesworth Stakes, for three Tear olds. Mr. Uartwnght's Uerby outsiderJBay of Naples, was brought out to contend against Prince 8olkolfs New Holland. The latter a great bony horse, like must of the Young Melboumes, while Bay of try Macaroni from Fairwater. scarcely shows the usual quality of the Sweetmeats.

He is, nevertheless, a hannsome and TJowerfuL thouch. witmu. a gross none, and ne waa manifestly out of condition. aThe two competiton were about equal favourites in the betting, which was a pretty correct forecast of the result; for Bay of XI Spies, tnougn running wiuo uiuro utu uutc, waa only defeated by a short head. In the Bashes Handicap the uncommon sight of a dead heat between threo horses was witnessod Trombone.

Hermitage, and Cat's Ejo finishing. In that relation. In the deciding heat Trombone waited till close home, when hk fine dash of speed enabled, him to win cleverly. The next race waa the event not only of the day but of the whole uraven jaeeung the inree jear old Biennial. Of the 31 entries, ten horses were coloured on the eight only took part in the race, xnnce ooiiyxons xaiie, a prominem xwo Thousand Guineas favourite, being) in reserve for the ktter engagement, wnik hia Timour had already been brought but to oppose Qarterly Bell.

From the moment of the special train arriving at Newmarket, the name of the Earl of Dartrey was in everybody's mouth as the rartainty of the race: and after Hermitage, hk trial run a dead heat in the Bushes Handicap, the Earl was at once installed a hot favourite at even money for the Biennial, which immediately succeeded it. Next in demand, at a to was Lora almoutn a nuy, Caiaclvsm. which Archer elected to ride in prefer ence to the Repentance colt then Mr. Crawford's PascareL at 7 to 1 whik Lord Falmouth's Repent anca colt was nominally at 8 to 1, though not befriended. The running was made by the Amy.

Scott stable companion of the Earl of Dartrey, for the purpose of 'aerring the ktter, by' whom and bv Lord Falmouth two he was closely attended. At the Bushes hill the Amy Scott colt reUrecLleaving the Earl of Dartrey and too Repentance colt in front. In the Abingdon mile bottom the ktter looked momentarily toraidable, but in rising the hill to the finish of the Rowley Mik he was beaten, and tho Earl of away, won in a canter by something like four lengths twice that distance separated second and third, and the rest of the field were a distance behind. The winner the property of aad waa bred by Mr.H. Ruflara Abbey, being by the Earl from Rigolboche dam of Cremome so that ha half brother to the Derby winner of 187 has trodden in the footsteps ef hk ill starred sue.

Opinions differed about him some people him a small colt, whik then termed hun a big one. Perhaps he maybe more correctly described as a bright nay colt above the average in stature, though by no means on such a scak as Prince Charlie, Leolinns, or Rererbera tioa all chestnuts, by tho way. He has grown considerably since he appeared in publio as a two year old, though he has scarcely thickened so much aa might nave Deen nopea sou no is a perfectly sound horse, bred to stay, and whereas he was last year but an average and consistent performer at the top of the second class, it more than likely he will hold his own in the best company thk The colt by Macaroni from Repentance (dam of StampedoV a Sweetmeat all over.

He a medium sized dark bay colt, full of quality, scarcely so well trained as the winner and not so big a horse, although perhaps a slightly better shaped one, in which particular he resembles hk sire. On the occasion of hk only appearance in public last year he defeated the Earl of Dartrey in the Clearwell Stakes by a length, the ktter conceding Sib. Now, however, at even weights the Earl of Dartrey gave him aemething like a 101b. beating. Cataclysm ran very badly, so that the fallacy of private trisk has been once more demonstrated in public, in the Craven Stakes Gang Forward had no difficulty in disposing of Maravilla, as Munden and Walkend deoinea the contest.

On Wednesday the Danish three year old Basaas, a fine handsome colt, by Lord Clifden from Stock a. a aW ings, by atockweii, who made a great reputation last year on the Continent as a two year old. enhanced it by hk publio, running on the Heath. Hk opoonenk were Carnelian (winner of the Bretby Pkte), Oeruleus (brother to Blue Gown), and Emancipation. Odds of 5 to 2 were betted on Carnelian, i and a to against in tne result Carnelian waa unabk to cope with the English bred Dane, who won easily, but he was receiving 71b.

He forthwith jumped Into the position of a favourite' for the City and suburban race at Epsom, ine Newmarket Handicap was the, only other event of the day deserving of note; Tea competitors ran, including Peeping Torn (winner of the Ncrthamp tanabira Stakes SL Lenr (a three vear old colt bv Trumpeter from Marigold, dam of xcasteri, tbe nnprfm 'Rmtai, Bertram, ItaA 0wran, Lilian. (tho Queen's Pkte QuaiL and two others of no note. Peeping Tom aad StLeger were first aad second favourites, and to them the race was confined, St. Leger winning, according to the Judge, by half a leagth from Peeping Tom, while the publio, by one of those optical illusions for which Newmarket noted, thought the ktter had won aa he liked. On thk pomt tho 5porkmon says "AttftsJrtetWr, JStenea raaretwevuaiij wae in tnuVk St Leger was then ia' command, with Lord Oowran next to him.

Archer himself waa so thoroughly convinced of his success that when hs met Matthew Dawson (Peeping Teen's trainer) aad was asked, 'How far did yea win replied Two The judge, however, asserts 'that Peeping Tom swerved at the last, and so lost cround to St. Lrgez. On ThursdayTrent cantered away from Inquietude in the Four Year Old Biennial, and Prince Arthur gave Bay of Naples 91b, and a "hands down" beating in the Three Tear Old Sweepstakes. In tho Flats of 100 sovs. Count Lagrange Picnic, who smashed his pastern last year, defeated Sir A.

Rothschild's Coomassie and Woodcock after which Miss Toto won" the Claret Stakes for four year olds from George Frederick and Whitehall over a two mik course. Regarding these two events the Sporting Timet observes ''Picnic is aa extraordinary horse. Last year he broke his leg, and he would have beea destroyed, but for the fact that he had been tried to be one of the best two year olds in the French team. The Messrs. Barrow, veterinary surgeons, were called in, and ordered him to' be pot in slings, when they operated on the' fractured leg with iiim aaaesa nisi isw aMMsw aisuaata.

Again when Miss Toto was a two year old she defeated Osorrt Frederick in the Stakes a eonsiderahle distaaoa. Last year, in the Biennial, for which ah ran a dead heat with Beverberation, she was two lengths in front of him. Oa Thursday, she again met the Derby winner, thia time over the Ditch In, sad she won by threo lengths. After this, serhace. the less said about Georse Frederick the better, end we can only wonder where hie would have been ia the Derby if Atlantic had not met with aa accident .1.

We may add that Apology, who won the St. Leger, beat Miss Toto a long distance in the Oaks. On Friday Peeping Tom ajas made a very, hot favourite for the International Handicap, and thk time Archer made haate home, and won in a canter by three lengths from Seymour and others which Breechloader beat Pedometer and Tolu. Dnrincr the present week there will be quite a plethora of racing, as the Epsom Spring Meeting will be held to morrow and Wednesday, the hew Sandown park Races on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and the Doncaster Spring Meeting on Thursday and Friday. Epsom Meeting will ably be as saccessful sx last year, when a number of horses were attracted try the revised proved programme, the added money having been largely increased.

At Epsom the principal events are the City and Suburban Handicap and Westminster Two Year Old Stakes on Tuesday the of Wales'sHandicaps, and the Hyde park Plate for two yesx which Galopin first ran inpublk last year. In the City and Suburban Handicap, one mik and a quarter, a large number of hones have from having taken part in races thk year aad others from private trials.

The Sporting Time haa a good opinion of Miss Toto, but knorea the chances of Lord Gowraa or St. Leger.

Finally, it selects Prince Arthur or EasnaSi believing taat Miss Toto and Timour will be thek most dangerous The fiDcrfstui GautU takes six to beat the field Timour, Prince Arthur.

Land and Water thinks that Basnas, Timour, and St Leger will be dangerous, end, though it reeneeta Kaiser and Grey Palmer, believes the race will be won by Basnas or miss Toto. The Sporting Lift expects to see the issue ef the race lie between Basnas, St. Leger, Miss Toto, and Rostrevor. and eonatden the race will fall to Miss Toto, next to whom it expect to see Basaas aad St.
