BRITISH ANNEXATION. ,
The late arrival from England furnishes us with
a qJc of the mode by which England annexes
territory to the British Dominions, ft Will be
sera from our Foreign extracts that 6lie has
latdy annexed the Punjauh in India, with a pop
uUtiau of near twenty millions by the butchery of
30.000 brave He ikes, who fell on Uic field resist
ing the project. Whife die denounced the
peaceful annexation of Texas to ilic American
l iikwi. by the free-cbnscnl df the two Nations,
as a pregnant proof of American ambition and
wanton injustice, she annexes vast territories,
a. id millions of resisting human beinjjs to her
sovereignty by fire and sword. Arid the same
EagUdi press that exhausted the virulence of its
wrath upon Texas annexation, applauds and cm
htazon* the glory and valor of the British S
chH-vement in the Punjuab. sealed as it is in
Mood and condemned to infamy by its atrocious
miHitier and cruelty.
The Nrw York ><un gives the following parti
ruhtra of the people, who have just fallen under
the merrilew policy of British annexation :
The Siks, Seiks or Singhs of India.—There
uafortunate people, numbering nearly twenty mil
lions of souls, were governed by a fconfcdcrary of
independent States, presided over by a Sovereign
m hoe residence was at Lahore, the capital of the
I'unjaah. Their religion is a mixture of Mahirn
edanism and Hratuuinisiu, teaching the unity of
***c invisible God and the equality ofall believers
in kins, without distinction of caste or color.—
s>*rek (*r Nanac) Shah, the founder of their sect,
was borue at Labonc, A. It. 1469. , Having travel
led through all the Asiatic countries, becoming
acquainted with the various religious systems, he
• •-tamed home and became a prophet—wrote a
boll and gave out anew revelation, ala Joe Smith
the Mormon. Sikhs signifies disciples, and Na
hek gave this name to his followers. Arjun, Na
tick's successor, published his master’* writings,
and compiled the first religious hooks of the sect,
lor which the Mahoincdans put him to death. A
Hindoo Chief rccivcd and sheltered the little com
pany of persecuted Sikhs, who were also called
Ninghs (lions) for their courage and bravery. They
lived very secluded in the mountains, for about
two centuries, until 1738, when Nadir Shah re
turn'd into Persia, after his invasion of Lahore,
which latter they then subdued. They had a re
ligious belief, like the Monnons, that they were
to re-occupy all the tents df their oppressors, and
this belief or prophesy, so reasonable in the nat
ural order of human events, was actually fulfilled.
In 1762 they were nearly overthrown by the Aff
chaus, a M.ihomcdan nation of the Sunnite sect,
but their indomitable energy surmounted every
obstacle, lu ISOo, their Singh or King, who was
a brut aliy of the British government, had an army
••t our hundred thousand horsemen. At his death,
in 1539, there was a struggle for the throne, and
since then the confederacy has been torn by dis
w n'ina* artfully directed by the emissaries of the
British Government. The present nominal rov-
re:gn is a woman, and an ally of Kngland. In
art and science, the Sikhs arc excelled by few. —
‘I tns was shown in their late battles with the. E
nglish. in their ni.inceuvcring, in their superior ar
tillery and the destruction of British troops by
exploding mines which had been worked before
their entrenchments. They calciilated on the re
volt of the natives in the British army, but only
one regiment (Bengal cavalry) refused to attack
the Sikhs, for which they have probably suffered:
The Sikh territories are now anuexed to the Brit
ish dominions. Out of between sixty thousand
and eighty tlmusand Sikhs in the field, thirty thou
nud are supposed to have perished in the battles
*t the 18th, 21st and 22d of December last. The
British loss was 3,300.
MR. CALHOUN.
For the gratification ofa natural desire to learn
the sentiments of this distinguished Senator upon
i ! k* subject of the Oregon controversy, vve spread
tl*e whole of his sjicccli h.-forc our readers.—
l.ike every thin? from Mr. Calhoun, it is a most
able exposition of his views of the great question.
\V e cannot sa v, that it is such a speech, as in the’
critical position of our relations with Great Britain,
wre should have liked him to make. While it
dwells with eloquence and appalling force upon
t’e terrible coom quern os to this country, whose
policy is peace, to grow out ofa state of war ; it
•lor*, in our judgment, keep out of v ievt, the
irravi4 element •of the controversy. It insists
hat little on our c. lirns—it omits to examine and
t* defend our hist title rnil undoubted rights, and
?t sreaw so be dirre 4 solely to the one great—
as we admit, hut riot the greatest—object, of peace.
We fear the speech will not have the clicet in
England of placing our chances of a favorable
termination to the controversy upon better
grounds.

NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.
The Whig papers are crowing like chanticleers
over a victory which they claim to have gained
bver the Democrats in the “Granite State.”—
1 ime w ill show whether it proves a victory or
net. Certain it is that the treachery of Hale to
gether with other cerises which have been some
time at work, have distracted the Democratic
part \ and prevented them from beating the com
bined factions egdinst it; but these causes are
temporary, and the principles of the people of
N|w Hampshire which have always proved firm
as her hills, will right themselves all in good time.
The following figures will show the grounds of
the Whig boastings :
For Governor in 217 towns, the vote stood :
Williams, D. 26,822
Colley, W. 17,689
Bern-; A lx). 10,304
Othere, 8 2
ihe Democrats have leatcn the Whigs up
wards of 9,000 votes, and the abolition ticket up
ward of 16,000 votes, and have come within
1100 votes of licating both combined. The Bos
ton Post, Well exclaims “in a plurality of twenty
seven thousand, there remains dignity and res
pectability.”
Cucumbers, green peas, and asparagus were

made on the authority of a letter from Mr. Har

West, received by the Hibernia.
LEOPOLD DE METIER.’
The “Lion Pianist” as he is called, is produc
ing a great sensation at the North. The following
letter from Washington, describing his concert in
that city, will give the reader some idea of his
wonderful performances:
“I was more astonished at bis performance than
delighted at the music ; for, on the whole, his
playing, as developed last night, is rather remark
able as an exposition of what can be done on the
instrument, than pf his particular capability to
please the ear of an ordinary American audience,
who usually only delight in sample music. There
were occasional passages, however, more replete
with pathos and heartfelt expression, than 1 had
thought any instruments, but the violin and trom
bone, equal to, in the hands of any ! perfortner.—
He ued a “grand” piano, and fingered as though
possessed of two pair of hands as well as ofall
sorts of extra joints in his wrists and fingers.—To
give you sonic idha, he played atias with one set
of variations to them, on the tipper notes, and
still another on the lower : all at the sayie time.
This had the .effect of a full Orchestra, aud fora
while I could hardly divest iriyselfofthe impres
sion that more than two performers were execut
ing the different jtarts of the concert. His bass is
the sitblii.iest flung f ever listened to..in the way
of music; while with half a hand engaged, lii's
high notes arc more rfipid, distinct, arid limpid
than the execution of the finest musical box imagi
nable: I certainly never before conceived that
the piano was capable ofgiving forth.such a com
bination df sounds at one anil the same time.—
You must, however, hear him to understand what
I mean ; for his wogdegful execution is as much
beyond my powers of description ,'jfs it was above
my comprehension ere I had listeired to bis soul
exciting strain: ‘ f—
f fOK. THE'TIMES.
Gentlemen :—I desft***4d(say but a few words
more upon the subject of tfie~agency system ;
you say it is improperly#>rought in atTfeis time ;
my notion was that a# the spirit of reform had
been gqtlen up, it was proper tq go in for a
thorough reform, and to that end I suggested a
few queries as to the legality of those institu
tions. ‘The duty of the Council in the premises
and the propriety of our requiring them to furn
ish coin, &c., &c. It was expected as the usual
custom, that you would give such information
upon the several suggestions as they seemed to
require, but, instead of that, you throw hold wa
ter upon the subject, and enter into an apology
for those institutions, you say, that you are in
formed that the agencies’ pay coin in sums as
high ass2!K) 00, when needed by the bill holder,
no>v if there is no misunderstanding on that
point it is an important improvement, and one
which will make them more tolerable than here
tofore, and if they ilont stand up to it, I shall call
on you to administer a small portion of the old
Democratic medicine. If they should get a lit
tle hillious, gentlemen, it. would help them.

Sinc4 our last report of the Cotton Market,
we liavte received the accounts brought out by the
Steamer Hibernia of the 4th ultimo, and contrary
to the denerul expectation, they are unfavorable
to the wishes of the cotton holders, and have
caused a decline of about £ cent on the better
discretions, and fully j cents on other des
cription of cotton —but at this decline, operations
could not be made to any considerable dxtent,as
the article is not offered freely! We quote 5] a

Cotton —The transactions of the week amount
to some 13,000 bales, ‘fo-day the market was
very quiet, as both biiyeys and sellers were dis
posed to suspend further operations until the re
ceipt of the foreign ad vices, which came to hand
by this day’s mail. The sales only reached about
200 bales, which were sold before the arrival of
the steamer’s accounts. We quote middlings at

—exports 12.565 bales, leaving a stock On hand
of 151,203 bales.
New-Or leans — The cotton market bn the 25th
presented rather a quiet appearance after the
heavy operations of the previous day, and sales
only reached 3000 bales.

European accounts have operated to strengthen
the upward tendency. A decided, advance might

m Liverpool, March 2d, 1846.
Thai anticipations of improvement in commer
cial affairs in Vhich we so confidently indulged
this day mo|ith have been cruelly bligliie<j(; and
cottoiA of which bey;g an almost cash
transaction Has been tec. “ (Joined article as usu

if! place of such an advance upon our quotations
of 2d February as your advices of receipts and

The failure of an Oilman to the extent of near
ly £300,000; one half of which falls upon one of
dpr .fqiht Stock Thinks, has materially added to a
pressure hitherto unparalleled.’ Jii the panics of
1825,1837, and JS39, money wall, procurable on
produce, but recently jn very many cases the
notes of the ..Rank of England have been required
when formerly the acceptance of a Merchant’s
bill upon the Broker, holding his produce would
have been accepted.’ . , v
What is the cause of this sudden stoppage to
our hitherto unopposed career prosperity eve
ry one asks ?
Produce is not high—Manufactures flourish ;
and considering the consumption of different ar
ticles, the stocks of none, except of Tobacco arc
heavy. Os gll (Inscriptions of food for man and
beast, except po.ta.ioes] there is a superfluity.—
The Bullion at the Bank.sUH increases and now
exceeds t ie sum which that C<*poration held on
the 15th November] after having in the interven
ing time decreased ,£502,736.
Opinions vary us to the cause—Soirie allege the
protraction of the discussions on the coo ques
tion in tTic House ofCommons, (now happily end
ed in the first stage by a majority of 97) others the
conversion of so much of the floating capital of
the country into fixed capital iii Railways. But in
oir opinion the main cause at the present time
arises, from the locking up of £10,000,000 of the.
ftailv ay and subjecting that amount of
the circulation t<i the rules of the Bank of Eng
land, which exclude every species bf accommo
dation paper.
In the infancy of the cotton trade this course
m : ght be justifiable, but now that It has assumed
its present magnitude, fostered too by the Gov
ernment, and that a stock of 800,000 a 1,000,000
of bales has” become.necessary either to : preserve
a uniformity of price or. to guard against the ca
sualty of a short crop—we do think with all due
deference to the opinions bf the Directors of the
Bank of England that it would be more conducive
to their interests and those of the commonwealth
if they were to rescind that rule.
The culture of. Indian corn at present rates, is
infinitely more profitable to the planter than that
of Cotton, and though the Manchester spinner
may imagine that the American planter was made
to be subservient to his wants, the American will
supply that customer who best rewards bis efforts.

PRESENTMENTS -
Os the Grand Jury, of Harris County, March
Term for 184.6.,.
WE, the Grand Jury, sttbraj ehosfjijand sc-.
* * lected at this Term of the Court, make the
following presentments : ; ’
We view the bad condition of our Roads and
Bridges at peesent, as a public grievance. We
lean; that our Inferior Court has been difficultied
in some parts of the county in getting persons to
act as Cbinmiysioilers of Roads, which of course
explains” in part tlie carelessness manifested upon
this subject; we sincerely trust in future ts ere
will be more interest felt and taken in our Roads
and Bridges. The attention of our Inferior Court
ig particularly directed to keeping the Bridges
across the Mulberry in good order.
We recommend to.our Inferior Court to levy a
tax of 25 per cent, on the State tax, for county
purposes ; ilnb, an additional tdx of five per feeiit
upon the State tax, for the education of the poor.
On the Estray book we find a deficiency upon
the part of sqipe,of our Magistrates, in failing to
make proper retqrns of their sa.les.>
Upon examination w f find the! Books of the
county Treasurer, neatly aiid corr.ectly kept, and
a balance in fitvbr of the county : of $3831; -
Z* We also find the Books of the Superior, Inferior,
and Court of Ordinary, neatly and correctly kept;
J. We allow the/Lax Collector, hjs insolvent list
of eighty three dollars, as returned to us by that
.officer. • • -j, j.... .. . .... k .;- ’ .
We arc glad to haye it in our power to. say,
comparatively speaking, that the amount of crime
committed in oiir county since the laSt term of
this Court is so small a. subject—upon which we
congratulate our citizens.
In taking our leave of his Honor Judge Alex
ander, we tenter him our thanks for the able
manner in which he has discharged his official
duties at this term of the Court. We also tender
our thanks to the Solicito'r General for his courte
sy to this body, as well as the faithful discharge
of his official duties, as prosecuting officer.

THE above pre/rntion for Worms is a vc tf
certain remedjt7 It has advantages over ma
ny other preparations for Worms, from the fact
that it can be gifcen with perfect safety to a child
of any age ; ntfr is it necessary to give any other
Medicine with it, or after it, as it operates upon
the bowels, carrying away the Worms, and cleans
ing the bowels of unhealthy secretions at the
same time. * ‘i

our confidence in it, that.we arc willinato war

Dr. Woodruff: Dear Sir —I have /ad. g regro
child that has been sick for some tiinrf! Not krjftw
ing what was the matter with it,wcTd pretty much
give up doing anything for it; however, as a last
resort, we concluded to try souie of your Worm
Specific, thinking it probablymight be Worms
that had reduced it so much—Accordingly we com
menced ,giving your “ Spdtific,” (which by the
bye, you have rightly nampd,) when, astonishing
to tell, it commenced. n*sing Worms, and con
, tinued doing so for sc days, until it had pass
led more than two hjmirffii some of them a foot
-or-iqo?e4n lfcngth, dfficra twilled and knotted to
gether in hard balldf so that they could not be sep
erated without cutting them apart. Knowing that
a Worjn Medicine so valuable as yours has pro
ven to bej woifid be used by hundreds, if they
only knew of its virtues, I have concluded to give
you tliis certificate, so that all may know where
’to find a medicine that can be relied on.

This is to certify, tliat I have made use of Dr.
\Voodruff’s <f Work Specific”’ in my family in
, several cases, with the happiest effect. In one
case it brought away some fifty
Worms of the kind called Ascarfdes— buj its
most remarkable effect was exhibiKid in an other
case, a girl of rather delicate who com
plained pretty constantly of hejJMbdomen; Being
satisfied that, gpe pad bfeph Ajpublbd With Worms
of some kiiidj wc iidminiJtered the £
and to our ..brought, from fier a
number of pieces of Tam Worm, from twb to six
or eight inches in lej^tli! Since that time, her
health has considerably improved; and I have no
doubt.bdt that the Medicine..has relieved her of
tjiat riiuch to be dreaded Worm. The ••Spe--
