INDIA. (FROM OUR SPECIAL COILEISPONDENT.) CALCUTTA, nu. V. The 27th is now fixed as the most likely day for the assault of Lucknow. Though Sir Colin Camp bell Imo been long in apparent inactivity at Futtey . . . Our, armies have from all sides been closing in cm the doomed city, and their movements give evidence of the master hand. The plan of the campaign is now tolerably clear. The Goorkhas, under Jung Bahadoor, march ria Fyzabad ; Franks's cola= from Jaunpore along the line of the Coomtee. On the right flank of the enemy, the Ganges and 1)0ab are guarded by strong detachments at Furruck shad (Futteygbur) and Mynpoorie. The column &d -rawing from Cawnpore will join the large force already at the Alembagh, and attacking the enemy In front will drive them to meet another army, now on its way from Meerut. It is maid by some that there will be no fighting, and that the chiefs of the rebels have offered to give themselves up condition ally. They are not likely to get any conditions ac aepted by Sir Colin Campbell, though they may by the Governor-General. Lord Canning, who has taken the government of the North Western Pro vinces into his own hands, is now at Allahabad, and has had an interview with Sir Colin, since which our troops have crossed into Onde from Cawnpore, with an immense tr►in of artillery. Judging from this and the well-known fighting propensities of the Oade men , a peaceable settlement of the question seems improbable. The most important event of the fortnight is the relief of Saugor on the 3rd instant by Sir Hugh Row, with a column of troops from Bombay. For eight months 173 men, 67 women, and 130 children, have been cooped up in a small fort in tended only for the defence of the arsenal, and con taining but one dwelling-hones and a few out-offices. Daring the whole time the little garrison was at the arrey of the Slut Native Infantry and some few of the 42nd Native Infantry, who, though the entire country round them was in a state of open rebellion, remained true to their salt. There were at Bangor, when the mutiny first broke out, the 3rd Irregular Cavalry and the 42nd and 31st Native In fantry. The last corps, however, steadily re fined to join the other two, and though un assisted by their European officers, who had taken refuge in the fort, drove them out of the place at the point of the bayonet. They have since remained in their Cantonment, and have by their preemies, not only prevented a siege of the fort, but maintained a certain degree of order in the town. It is to be hoped they will be suitably rewarded. On the 7th instant a gallant little affair took place near Etawab, a place about 80 miles from Agra. Mr. A. 0. Hume, the magistrate of the former place; Mr. Maconochie, his assistant; and Captain Alexander, of the 53rd Native Infantry, commanding a newly-raised corps of irregular ca valry, hearing that a body of insurgents was in the neighbourhood, went out with a few troopers to re connoitre. They soon discovered a large body al men strongly posted in a village. Procur ing from • neighbouring friendly Zemindar the assistance of 400 matcklockmen and a 3-pounder gun, they at once attacked the enemy, and com pletely routed them, killing 12.5, with a loss on their own side of only 38 killed and wounded. This is the kind of affray that may be expected all over the North-West until the country is effectually disarmed. No steps, however, appear to have been taken even to organise this mast important measure, and civil officers are appointed to poets in the quietest districts to perform the same duties and draw the same salaries as they would have done had no such thing as a rebellion ever occurred. Maun Sing, the great Oude Zemindar, is said to have given himself up to Jung Bahadoor. He has sent ieto Gorru:kpore no lea than sixty Europeans who had been prisoners in Oude. When the rebellion first broke out Mann Sing, if he had chosen to declare against as, might have taken pos session of Oorruckpore with 10,000 followers. Instead of doing this, he offered every assistance to the authorities there, and when the Cloorkhas were expected from Nepaul, collected provisions end boats for their use. When Gorruckpore was eva cuated, and his safety depended upon his seeming hostility to as, he appealed to Sir James Outrem, and was told to remain in his own fort. ibis he did, and when summoned to Lucknow by the rebel chiefs, instead of taking an active part against us, he assisted the English prisoners, and eventually effected their release. Ithotsegneh. the fort no long held by Umar Sing. the nephew of Knee Sing, the Heber chief,was taken by Captain ltattray'• Sikh battalion on the 17th inet. The trial of the Kin; of Delhi proceeds slowly enough, but the evidence already taken is sutti tient to prove, not only that he contented to the murder of oar countrymen and women, hut that he actually presided at the butchery which was perpe trated in his own palace by his own body guard. i One curious fact was thcited during the trial which deserves particular motion. It is that Mr. i Colvin. at Agra, had been not only warned, but had had the details of the plot furnished to him in writing. The document was found amongst Mr. Colvin 's papers, and was apparently, like the sedi tious placard at Delhi, not thought worthy of notice. Princes seem to be tried in batches at Delhi, and one batch of 13 was hanged on the 4th inst. Colonel 'loges " istalligent lad" was not one of them. The steamer will take home another instalment of the Lock now refugees. There are still numbers of them in Calcutta, and they are all wcU provided for by the Relief Fund through its indefugable distributors. The stories of the privations, dangers, and deaths of that heroic garrwa are, donbtlem, by this time as• familiar in England as they are here ; but there is one anecdote of a native so peculiarly characteristic that at the risk of it being known is worth repeat ing. The town Darogha (a sort of mayor) of Lack ner/ was a man who had been educated in Calcutta, and liking of very gentlemanly manners and culti vated tastes was a great favourite with the European resident'. Amongst his many accomplishments was that of photography, and there was scarcely a lady or gentleman in Lucknow whose likeness he had not taken. He was a frequent visitor at the Residency, and had not only taken views of the buildings ' but of the entrenchments and batteries erected for their defence. The whole of these drawings he presented to the Nana, which fully accounts for the remarkable precision of the enemy's fire, and the partiality with which they mingled out apartments into which to pour their shot at the commencement of the siege. Great disappointment and some indignation has been exhibited at the fact of no compensation for lose of property being allowed by government to the widows of deceased officers. The General Order by the Governor-Geoeral, dated the 24th of November, 1837, clause', excludes " the estate or family of a decAsed officer " from any such grant. Indeed, the Order,tbough framed at the "anxious desire" of the Honourable Court to afford " every measure of succour to these who hive suffered, &c., especially to the widows and orphans," &c., is merely, as far as military men are concerned, a repetition of the old pay and audit regulation., which grant compensation for tho lose of baggage during a cam paign. In short, this Order merely concedes that officers engaged in suppressing this rebellion are to be considered Lica actual service in the field. MEISARN. A. A!I Ir, E.

PRISON.—We were examining one of the yards of the 'mond prison, and Lord Elgin, who is seldom absent when any work is defog, was one of the I spectators. As it was Mead daylight the dens were sup posed to be empty. Some one thought he heard a low mean m one of them, and advanced to the bars to listen. He re coiled sa if a blast Coen • furnace had rushed out upon him. Never were human senses assailed by • more horrid stream ' of institute,. The gaolers were ordered to open that place, sad refusing, as a Chinaman alweye at first refuse', were given over to the rough handling of tt.e. ...Adieu, who were told to make them. No wiener were hands laid upon the poises than the sttded moan became • wail, and the wail became a contours, of low weakly muttered groans. So soon as the double doors could be opened several of us west into the place. The thick stench could only be endured foe a moment, but the spectacle was not one to look long at. A corpse lay at the bottom of the den, the breasts, the only fieshy parts, gnawed and eaten away by rata. Around it and upon it was a festering mass of humanity still alive. The mandarin peter, who seemed to wonder what all the excitement was about, was compelled to hays the poor creatures drawn forth, and no man who sew that eight will ever forret It. They were skeleton', not men. You could only believe that there was blood in their bodies by seeing it clo ted upon their undressed wounds. As they were born-3 out one after the other, and laid upon the pavement of the rod, each seemed more horrible thin the last. They were too far gone to shriek, although tho agony must have been great, the beery irons pressirg upon their raw, lank shins as the gaolers lugged thou not too tenderly alon.g. They had been beaten into this state, perhaps long ago, by the heavy bam boo, and bad been thrown into this den to rot. Their crime was that they bad attempted to escape. Hideous and loath some, however, as wee the eight of their foal wounds, their flithy rags, and their aseciatml hocks, it was not so distress ing as the indescribable expression of their eyes ; the horror of that look of fierce spay fixed us like • fascination. As the diel , cated wretches writhed upon the ground tears rolled down the cheeks of the soldiers of the escort, who stood in rank near them. A 'brand° French sergeant, who had the little mandarin in canody. gesticulated with his bayonet so fiercely that we were afraid he would kill him. We did not then haw that the single word which the poor creatures ware trying to utter was "hunger,' or that that dreadful ✓atting of the eyeball wee the look of famine. Same of them had been aithout food tor four days. Water they bad, for there is a well in the yard, and their fellow prisoners had supplied then', but mice for food were saswered only by the bamboo. Ala! it was not till the neat morning that we found out this; for although we took some away, we left others there that night. Since the commence ment of this year Mem men have died in that cell. dome of those who were standing by me Asked, " How will you ever be to tell this to the English people ?" I believe that no description could lead the imagination to a fall conception f what we saw In that Canton prison. I have not attempted to do more than dot a faint outline of the truth, and when I have read what I have written feel bow feeble and foreclose is the image upon paper when com pared with the scene upon my memory. This was the worst of the dew we opened, but there were many others which fell but • few degrees below it in their horrors. There was not one of the 6.000 prisoners we saw whose appearance be fore any assemblage would not have aroused cries of indiges tion. It appears quite certain that, within a period dating from the commencement of the present troubles, six Eu ropeans, two Frenchmen, end four Englishmen have found their death In these dreadful dens.—Correspondent of the Te Pus.

It scents to me to be a case requiring some notice, tape dolly with respect to the accommodation bills, of which ft atpears there are 400!, or 5001. worth, for which they wide themselves liable when they were wonting meaty themselves. There are also large items only estimated— WA of 18,0001. for purchased, another of 9,0001. for sales, wholly unvotichrd. Ido not think it is a ewe in which any difference should be made between the bankrupts, because, when a party places himself in the poeitlon of a partner, he must take all the responsibilities of that position; for in the mercantile world nobody would know he was a clerk. I think the certificate should be suspended for six months from this time; when granted to be of the third clam, with pro tection in the mesa time. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

Michael Brannon, aged 40, described as a hairdresser waa indicted for haring at Rochdale, on the 11th February ' laU assaulted Richard Wainwright, and with violence robbed him of 111. and a silver watch. Mr. °tined appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Wheeler defended the prisoaer. The for is the schoolmaster of the Endowed Schools at Li rough, near Rochdale, and also treasurer to several load emanations. On the afternoon of the day in question he went from Littleborough to Rochdale with 91. 10e. is his pocket, for the purpose of paying some claims epos one of the emaciation'. When he got to Rochdale, however, he met a friend, named Mr. Goodwin. Some time previously the prosecutor had lent Mr. Goodwin • sum of 101., but all this had been re paid with the exception of 11. 10e. It was arranged between them that Mr. Wainwright should go on to Manchester in order to receive this balance. The prosecutor arrived at Manchester about half-pest fin, and in an hoar afterwards he met Mr. Goodwin by appointment at AU Mats Church, where he received the U. 10s. Mr. Wainwright then pro ceeded on hie way to the Victoria Station; but in Chapel street he went into a druggist's shop and purchased a small quantity of chloroform, which was put into • bottle. Be them proceeded to the station, but while passing through Market - street • drunken man, as he supposed , reeled against him, but on looking round he noticed that the man was not drunk, but standing perfectly upright. When in the station he observed the man who had reeled against him. Mr. Wain wright took a ticket for Littleborougb, but afterwards he recollected that he had already a return ticket, and went back to the offioe where he got his money back; and whit/putting the money in his purse, it is supposed that the man had an opportunity of awing what was in it. Having waited until the man had got into a carriage, Mr. Wainwright got into another, and the train proceeded on its journey. It arrived at Rochdale at a quarter past nine o'clock, and he had then an opportunity of knowing that hie money and watch were a safe. He had occasion to get out of the carriage, and then be noticed that the same man got out of his own car riage and went into that which Mr. Wainwright had got out of. The prosecutor became alarmed, and got into an other compartment where there was no other penon but him felt Just, however, as the train was about tn start, the man came into the comp artment: in which Mr. Wainwright was, immediately closed the door, end eat down on the opposite side. As soon as the train moved out of the station, the man seized Mr. Wainwright by the throat, pulled a revolver pistol out of his pocket, and threatened to blow his brains out if he made the least noise. The men grasped him by the throat, and the prosecutor became insensible. In' a short time afterwards the prosecutor recovered his senses, and then found himself lying at the bottom of the carriage, and the man was attempting to pour some of the chloroform out of the bottle down his throat, but Mr. Wain wright had suffidentpresence of mind to knock the bottle nut the man's hand, It then fell upon the floor and broke. The prosecutor had swallowed a small quantity of the chloroform, and he again became unconscious. In a short time afterwards the prosecutor again became t nap:warily conscious, and then he law the man kneeling on his breast and rifling his pockets ; but Mr. Wainwright almost immediately became insensible. The train passed Littleborough, but no person got nut, and when it reached Walden the guard found the carriage door open, and upon looking. in found the prosecutor lyiag in a state of insensibility. Mr. Wainwright was taken on to Todmorden, where he was examined by • surgeon, who found marks on his throat as if he had been grasped by the left hand of • man. There alto appeared to be the mark of a ring on the little finger of the hand. Mr. Wainwright soon recovered, and it was then found that he had been robbed of all his money and his watch, all his pockets being turned inside out. There be a tunnel on the line just before Waled= linden, and previous to entering it it is usual for the trains to pall up, and it is conjectured that the man who had robbed the prosecutor had got out of the train at this point. On the day following the purse was found lying on the line, about • mile on the Manchester side of Littleborough, but it was empty. On the 12th February (the day after the robbery) detective Smith, of the Liverpool force, met the prisoner on the landing atege at Liverpool, and knowing him, the of stopped him and inquired where ha had been. The prisoner then said he had just tome from Bristol by the Great Western Railway, where he had been staying for some time previously. On the 6th March the prisoner was ap prehended in Liverpool by detective Suite, and on the Bth he was Identified by the prosecutor. When Mr. Wainwright gave a description to the police of the prieoner, he stated his height at about five feet ten inches, but in r eality be is only five three inches. He noticed, while the man was sitting before Dim in the carriage, that be had two rings on his finger, and when Smith saw him on the following day he had then on a similar number of rings. Mr. Wainwright likewise observed that the man had a sore eye, and when taken into custody the prisoner's eye was then sore. There was no other person but the prosecutor, who identified the prisoner. Two witnesses wore called for the defence, who swore that the prisoner, who lived in Dennison-street, Liverpool, never left the house fur more than an hour oa the day when the alleged robbery was committed. The prosecutor was erineexamined, in order to elicit that he had in • public-house in the Shoudeltill Market, but he denied that he had. ' A licensed hawker, named Hewitt, was also examined, and stated that he was in • beer-house in the Shoude-bill market, Manchester, where he met the prosecutor, Mr. Wainwright. A betting t ransaction took place between the prosecutor and another man, which resulted in the former losing. The watch was taken to • pawnshop, and pledged about six o'clock. This witness, in crops-elimination, admitted that he was a professional gambler • that be often caught " fists ;" that be might have been in c ustody for thieving ; and that he had been in cutely for gambling. He also admitted that when examined before the Rochdale megisteates he stated that he had met the prosecutor in the beerhouse at the Shoude-hill Market on Wednesday, the 10th of February, and had only changed the day to Thursday when he was apprehended for perjury, but he had been acquitted of that charge. Another hawkweed gambler, named M'Donald, corrobo rated Hewitt's statement. Mr. Wainwright, the prosecutor, was recalled, and swore that there was not • word of truth in what the two men bad said. He also stated that several days after the robbery he was accosted by a man at the Victoria station, Manchester, who conducted him to • public-house, where he met the man M`Donald, who uttered to get the watch back for 21., but be refused to have anything to do with him. Hie lordship than summed up, and the jury, after a very brief deliberanon, found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to penal servitude for life. Cern. Stns—(Before Mr. Judos Byles.)

"Miss Margaret Higgtoson,-1t i. woes a great degree of anxiety that I commence this letter to you, knowing that so long an acquaintance as ours has beet should not be lightly thought of. I have for some time past considered it my duty to come to Some definite antmgement with you, but then there bu always bee an idea existing in my mind that I did not so truly love you as I ought to do, in order to make impede townie a matrimonial connexion with you. June has rolled es, wham I was still hoping that circumstances and inter course would throw additional light and warmth to my affection, and create a proper attachment, but such has not been the case; and I think you will agree with me that the marriage contracted between parties wanting thee) natural ties of affection, instead of being the consummation of happi ness, would end in vexation and discontent. You will per baps censure me, and I am satisfied your friends will load me with reproaches; but, admitting that I am blameable to an extent, I must c onfess that I have not sincerely come to this conclusion until within a few dap, and I could say much in justification of my conduct, if that could give you any satisfaction . I deeply feel for you, and am quits smaible that the receipt of this letter will give you much anguish, fearing, also, Mit the attention paid by me may have excited your love and gratitude to a greater extent than lam aware. Yon expressed a wish, some time since, that if it should be broken off, it should appear to the world as your sat, to which I have no ob'ection ; and I do not in tend to tell any one in or near Man anything about it ; and I think on your part it will be wise to make as little fuse se pomMle, as revenge and retaliation can do no good. Ido not ay this thinking you will wish anything of the kind. I wish you to understand that the engagement, c far as it hes hitherto existed, is now annulled, and I hope you will meet with one who truly loves you, and in every reepeot is worthy of you. This letter, I fear, is tediously long, but from tits meet of motivea wished to lay before Ton as well as I could as explanation, so that you would perceive that nothing had been said or done by you that has given me the slightest offence, or any treatment on your part that I consider at all reprehensible. " Allow ine to remain, your well-wisher, and to be for gotten, "J. H. RAILTON." The learned counsel commented very strongly upon the terms of this letter. Mr. Jenner was called and stated that the plaintiff was 19 or 20 years of age. He also corroborated the learned coun sel's shtement. For the defence it we not denied that the engagement had been seeds ; but It wee urged that nominal damages would oompamsats toe the alleged breach. Tb immedistely returned a verdict for the plaintiff— damages 6001. THE POLICE OVUM& 3LiNSION-HOUSK. ralllol BMW*, the hopgrower is the meaty of Heat, Tam brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with baying attempted to obtain the sum of 61. by false me km= from Mr. H Ramsey Forster, town manager for Mmes. Allsop and Bons, brewers, of Burton-upon-Trent and Lag William-street, in the city of London. Mr. Faster appeared in the witness box for the purpose of stating the 'articular' of the cave, which he said was a pecu liar ow, and one with which it was necessary that the public should be made acquainted. Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, intimated to the Lord Mayor that there was an officer in court who had a warrant for the upon a charge of a much more serious nature, and it would be therefore =necessary to go into details there, inasmuch as the prisoner must be delivered sip to that officer in order to nude's° examination upon the higher actuation elsewhere. _ _ . "4— The Lord ia r ; mid he had no objection to allow the qrstatement to be made by Mr. Forster, who seemed to a: l ious, upon public grounds, to make it public from the jumilce-meia." Mr. Forster then stated the substance of the contents of a letter which he had written to the father of the prisoner soon • after the occurrence complained of bad taken pleas. It was to the following effect, and wee dated from the warehouse in King William-street ' A young man of respectable appearance and good address, who stated himself to be your son, came to this office this afternoon at 4 o'clock, and stating that one Mr. Allsop wee • friend of yours and known to himself, said he was placed in a position of peculiar difficulty from which he hoped I would bo so obliging as to relieve him. He said he bad left Crenbrook this morning, by the parliamen tary train, with two of your farm labourers, to bring back four horses which you bad purchased at Bayswater for him self and his brother, who were about to enter upon • farm. That his brother had given him a cheque for 16W. to pay for the horses, but nothing for expenses ; and that the dealer in whose possession the horses were would not give them up without an additional 61., which he begged me to advance to hint on his I 0 U, promising that you would call and repay the amount on Monday. His manner was so planaible that I did not doubt the truth of his statement, and I consented to let him have the money, if he would allow one of the hones to remain in my stable until the sum was repaid. His objection to agree to this raised a suspicion in toy mind, and I decided upon sending one of my clerks to Bayswater with the applicant, giving him instructions to advance the required amount in the event of the young man's statement proving correct. This arrange meat was met by the applicant remarking that he bad to go over into the Borough, and would be back in half•an-hour. My doubts were now 'screamed, end when the applicant left I dmired one of my clerks to observe which direction he took. I soon found he bad gone in an opposite direction altogether, and I at once sat down, intending to write you • statement of the fact, as they had occurred, for your information. I had not proceeded far when the applicant returned, and said he had met one of hie uncle's clerks on London-bridge, who had promised to let him have 41. in an hour, so that if I would let him have 21., he oould manage very well. I said I would let him have the whole sum he required if he would satisfy me of the truth of his first representation, but unless hcdid that I could not allow him to leave my office. He now declared all he had said was tree. and added that if I would let him go away for an hour, he would bring me proof of the fact. I replied he must either go with me to the office of his uncle, who he said was • hopfactor in the Borough, or to where he had stated the horses were at Bayswater, and that unless he did so, I should give him into custody. Ho at length consented te go to Bayswater, and I got into one of my cabs with the intention of proceeding there with him In down Cannon-street be pointed to • gentleman wt a , th lle g said, lived at Cranbenok, and knew you, and expreaeol a de sire to speak to him. I got out end accompanied him to the c.....tleenan, whom, I think, he addressed as Mr. Lovett, or The gentleman said he knew you, and believed you bad • son ; but in reply to the applicant's question whether he would vouch fur his reepectability, he said he could not do that, as he understood one of your eons had dirgratied himself by obtaining money under false pretences. The young man replied, ' YES, sir; but that iv not me; it is my -other.' I remarked that what the gentleman said would constrain me to carry out my original intention of giving him into custody. Upon hearing this the applicant maenad his story was all Glee, and begged to be forgiven. I said it was impassible I could forgive so Migrant an set of diaboneaty, upon which the young man ran o ff . I followed and seized hum, and • desperate struggle took place, which ended in my consigning him to the police-station in Bow-lane, whence he will bo brought before the Lord Mayor on Monday at noon. " At the station it transpired that a warrant is already out for the young man's apprehension on a similar charge. I am quite sure, whether or not you are known to our Mr. Allaop, he would not disapprove of my putting you in Fos : sisal= of the flea of the case, and I earnestly hope the t alleged relationship to yourself may prove as false as the other representations made by the young man." I The Lord Mayor said the circumstances of the case were , remarkable, but thought it would be sufficient at present to deliver the prisoner to the officer who held the warrant upon I the more serious charge than the mere attempt to commit the fraud. William Glennister, superintendent of the Hastings pollee, I identified the prisoner as William Beeman, whose name was mentioned in a warrant produced, charging the prisoner with I having obtained money under false pretences., and said he had also seen two other warrants against the same William Bee • men, the one issued by a Sussex magistrate, the other by a I magistrate of Sevenoaks, in Kent. The prisoner said not a word, and was taken from the bar by the Hastings superintendent. THAMES. - - - - - William Zakey, a mas;;;;;QTr, sad late master of the brikgpper, of Dartmouth, was charged with feloniously sin th at vessel at sea, near Dungeness, with intent to de the underwriters of the ship at Lloyds. Mr. Joseph Smith, solicitor, conducted the prosecution, and said he had only just been instructed, and oould not pro- teed far with the ease that day, nor was it expedient he ehould do 1 , 0, in consequence of the multiplicity of Moines!. He should, however, put before the magistrate sufficient evi dence to justify a remand. He called Captain E. B. Nott, R.N., who said he vres super intending agent for Lloyd's. lie knew the prisoner to have been the captain of the brig Clipper. The ship was bound from London to Newport in ballast, and gunk in the flange:teas roads. The ship was insured at Lloyd's, and he had no doubt the was wilfully scuttled, to defraud the underwriters. In consequence of Information he received, ho raised the Clipper sunk In Dungeness roads. He superintended the r a isin g - of the vessel. She was raised up to the surface, and taken to Dungrners. He could walk round the bottom of the ship, after she was raised. He wee givea to understand that when the ship was about to go down, the captain got into a boat, and ordered his crew to follow him, and proceeded to Folkestone, where certain in quiries were made of the captain, who then proceeded to Dover, and afterwards to Margate. The crew refined to proceed any farther. After the ship was raised, he er mined her, and found • hole, which bad been made with an augur, in the starboard quarter. It was a large hole, and he oeuld put three of his fingers in it. He procured the mortices of a men& shipwright, who was willing to swear the hole was made with a gouge, end made • certificate that it was not accidental. Then were three more augur holes on the starboard broadside, just under th e ballast port, which had been knocked out. On the port side of the ship her bottom was as clean as risible. There was nothing whatever to account for the ship sinking except the holes bored with an augur and the ballast Tart kw-ged out. The holes in the ship were sufficiently low to admit the water. The artificial holm would do it. The tallest part was above wafer. That ought to have been water tight. He received Informstion that the captain and mate of the Clipper made the sugar holes and sunk the ship for the pumas of &treading the underwriter*, and if the rimer was reseeded be weld rodeos direct evidence of the feet The pefromer, on Wag sad if he had any questions to ask, said—l have nothing further to say than this, that I have not done what I am charged with. In answer to portions by Mr. Yardley, the witness said that the Clipper was an old ship and had lately undergone extensive repairs. Her tonnage warn 228 tons, and he should say her value was about 31. per ton. Kr. Yardley—Pretty nearly up to the amount she was insured. __ Captain Nott—Yes, sir. Mr. John Lacey, an insurance broker at Lloyd's, said he awed the Clipper, of Dartmouth, on the Bth of March for Her value was represented to be 1,2001. He also ed the captain's effects for 1601. Yardley said, upon this evidence he should remand Limner until Wednesday. prieoner—Will you accept bail Yardley—What bail can you offer? It is a most seri- ons amp. The prisoner —I can offer bail to any amount. Mr. Yardley—l will take bail ; two sureties In 6001. each. I very much doubt whether I ought to take bail at all In such a as this; and I have only offers' to d• so bowies there is not much evidence against you at present. Strictly sleeking the solicitor for the prosecution is entitled to 48 hours notioe of bail, and I am only going to remand you until Wednesday; it would be quite futile to bail now. I sal consider of it when you are brought here again on Wednesday. The prisoner was then remanded to the Clerk/wren House of Detention. GREENWICH. James Rolloway, 34, of Gilham's-aonrt, Rotherhithe, was =with entering the house of Mr. Timothy Mard i; of the Six Bells, Rotherhithe, and stealing 161. 10s. in gold and silver money, a silver watch and guard, and other articles. The prosecutor stated that he was accustomed to leave his house every Sunday morning for the purpose of attending divine worship, and as no one was left in charge of the home llaced a padlock on the outer door, putting the key in his pocket. On returning home on Sunday, the 14th Jimmy last, he was surprind to find that during his absence some person had been in the house and stolen a sum of 101. 10a, and also • silver waren and riard. There were no marks of violence, the thief having evidently entered and departed by the side door, being possessed of a key to. fit the padlock. On the following Sunday week the house was again entered in an equally mysterious manner, and gold and silver money I stolen, in consequence of which he communicated with the police. Police-constable Burke, 214 M, said that be entered the Six Bells at nine o'clock on the previous (Sunday) morning, and concealed himself on the premises. The prosecutor went out about ten o'clock and placed the padlock on the door as usual. About half-an-hour afterwards witness heard some one unfasten the door, enter the house, and proceed into the bar. Witness was concealed down-stairs, and immediately after the person came by the spot where he was secreted, he instantly seized the prisoner, and inquired what business he had in the home f The prisoner replied that he had come to see Mr. Macarthy; on which witness told him be must know that Mr. Macarthy was not at home, and that he (pri soner) must go to the station-house with him. Witness afterwards proceeded to the prisoner's house for the of searching it, when be found four silver watches e 37. d guards which the prisoner said belonged to him. Sergeant Gotten, 7 M, said that previous to being detected no suspicion had fallen on the prisoner, who had been in the employ of the Messrs. Talbot, boat builders of Rotherhithe, earning very high wages. Mr. Trail said in order to afford the police an opportunity of inquiring as to the possession of so many watches by the prisoner he should remand the case until Saturday next. OBEAT FIRE AT MANCHESTER. Early yesterday morning, about three o'clock, the cotton-spinning and doubling mill of MOMS. Lewis and Edward Williams, of Minaholl-atreet, Manchester, was dis covered to be on lire. Meows. L. and E. Williams have two mills, the one fronting to Minahull-street, and a new one, branching from it at right angles, at the back, in Upton street, London-road. The first is an old one, very lofty, having eight stories besides the attic, and about 46 to 60 yards long. It wee lighted by 120 windows in the front and 120 windows at the back, and the fire wan first noticed by the driver of • hackney ooach in London-road, who saw the flames through the backwindows of the third story, inUptan street. Early notice was given to Mr. Rose, chief superin tendent of the fire brigade, who was in front of the mill in • very short spice of time with fire-engtcee. The latter, how ever, were unnecessary. There was abundance of water at a high presenre from the street mains on all sides of the mill, and by merely attaching Bose to these mains • force of water equal to about six tons per minute was showering urn the blaring By la brief period of time from the arnval of the police. By this time the fire had spread most alarmingly, and very soon afterwards the roof of the building fell in. The floors of this, as of all old mills, were well saturated with oil from the machinery, and any attempt to check the flames was soon seen to be utterly hopeless. Floor after floor, each with its heavy load of machinery, gave way with crashes that threatened to carry with them the whole fabric ; and at about 20 minutes to five o'clock, when the fire bad attained its fiercest glow, a large portion of the wall fronting towards Minshull-street, fell outwards. In the yard before this front of the mill was a large gasometer, and the house of the ma nager, together with • building several story/ high, in which the process of mixing the cotton was carried on. The part of the millfallhig outwards crushed the gasometer, and an explosion resulted which augmented the destructive force of Unties. The wall that fellupon the gasometer wasBo feet high., anci its fall the buildings in the yard were ignited and partially destroyed. So great a mass of fire has not been witnessed in Manchester for many years u the burning of this mill presented during • period of nearly three hours, the flames blazing up to an immense height, and carrying showers of sparks with them that threatened the safety of valuable property in many directions; yet the firemen battled with the destroying element bravely from a staircase! between this mill and the new one, playing upon each of the ! floors from this point with much perseverance, though unable to get the mastery. Yet they were fortunately able to stave the new mill, and the valuable mill also of Messrs. Baxley and Vernon, in close proximity. A good deal of cottage and other property, much jeopar lied by the fire, wss also saved. It wan after 7 o'clock in the morning before any large portion of the firemen could be relieved of the severe duty imposed on them and by that time the old mill was completely gutted, the Upton-street wall and ends, pierced with their numerous openings for windows, being nearly all that was left standing, and pre. seating • somewhat picturesque but dangerous ruin. There walls, in fact, will have to be speedily removed, as • very alight wind would endanger them, and might produce serious mischief on surrounding property. The entire lose, it is feared, will not be leas than 20,0001., but Messrs. Williams have insurances on the two mills to nearly 30,000/. in the Atlas, Royal Exchange, Liverpool and London, Manchester and West of England odic**. The mfll bad not Leen at work since Saturday at 2 o'clock, and the origin of the fire is not known. Nearly 300 work-people are thrown out of em ploy by the destruction of this property. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE NEAR Buay.—About 8 o'clock on Saturday morning the large warehouse belonging to the Bast Lancashire Railway Company, at Brook-bottoras,about three miles from Bary, was d isc overed to be on fire. The warehouse is in the oscupation of John Robinson Kay, Esq., sad was used for the storage of cotton goods. It is stated to hays contained at the tame 200 bales of cotton, 200 bags of cotton waste, and 18,000 pieces of calico; the whole of which were destroyed, or so much injured either by fire or water, or both, as to be rendered comparatively worthless. !unbent ball an hour after the discovery of the fire, the fire-engine belonging to Messrs. Bothwell and Grundy, of Limefield, and that of Messrs. Hampton and Co., of Summering; were an the spot, and were supplied with water front the force pumps and pipes on the premises; but such was the violence of the flames, that it was found impoasible to save the pro perty, and the fire was not thoroughly eubdned until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The building was completely gutted, the shell alone remaining. The origin of tte tire la unknown. The damage to the building and goods, Be., is estimated at about 10,0001.; bat this, it is said, was partly covered by insurance. The insurance, however, so far ma we can lear n, was only in the Manchester Office, and to the extent of 3,0001.; so that the loss to the ownes, it is supposed, will be little short of 7,0001. FIRE AT MILLWALL.—Last night, shortly after nine o'clock, a fire happened in a timber-yard at Poplar. When the discovery was made by some of the neighbours the flames had seized on some deals and other woods standing in the yard. The offices being near the fire speedily lapped round them, and broke through the windows of a number of small houses on either side of the timber-yard. The engines soon arrived, but, in spite of the exertions of the firemen, they were unable to get the Mimes subdued until the stock in the timber-yard was totally destroyed, the offices smionaly damaged, and several other houses and their con tents injured by water. The kw will fell upon the Anchor and the Sun fire-offices. The origin of the fire is unknown THE LATE FATAL Fiat IN BISHOPSOATE anorr.—The adjourned inquest on this fire was held yesterday. After the examination of some of the occupants of the house, all of whom declared their entire ignorance of the origin of the fire, the inquiry was still further adjourned. EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR.—A case is now under going investigation, by the authorities at Fort William, which has created a very painful feeling in the district. The wife of Captain Ronald Macdonald, late of the 92nd High landers, died on the 28th of October last, and was buried an the 4th of November in the burying-ground of the Moy family at Kilchyrel, attended by her own relatives and those of her husband. In the month of FeMuary, at the dead of night, Mrs. Macdonald's brother, Mr. Donald Stewart, tacksman of Anohindaul, who was residing in the same house with Captain Macdonald, went with a number of his shepherds to the buying-ground, and, without the knowledge of his hentherdn-law, removed from its place, beside her husband's ancemora, the body of his sister, depositing it in another pert of the church- yard. The motives for this extraordinary proceeding will, no doubt, be ascertained when the case has been investigated by the authorities; hot at present the only way of amounting for It seems to be in the fact that, whilst the Macdonald+ of Moy are Roman cathollos, Mr. Stewart is a convert to the Free Church, and he could not bear the idea of his sister lying in the same grave with Roman catholic'. The outrage was discovered shortly after it was perpetrated, and the case has been put into the bands of Mr. Maclaren.—/imarseu Cburifr. Mr. the pi MARKETS.

MERCHANT SEAMEN'S FUND.—The petition to the Hones of Commons for the eMablishment of • new Meechant Seamen's Fund, signed by 260 masters, 161 mates, and 714 seamen of the pert of Lyndon, was presented by Mr. Henley, the President of the Board of Trade, on Friday evening. The petitioners recommend that the payments to the proposed fund should be compulsory, as they feel assured that any attempt to make a provision for sailors who have been worn out in the mercantile marine, founded on voluntary' contributions, would prove a failure; and the petitioners are also anxious that the collection and distribution of the fund should be placed under the control of the Beard of Trade, by which means they are convinced that the errors, mismanaged ment, and imperfect collection which reudcred it neceseary to pant the " Merchant Seamen's Fund Winding•up Act,' in 1851, will be avoided. AUSTRALIAN AND INDIAN INTELLIGENCE.—Ths Simla arrived at Suez with the Australian mail a few hours before she was due. Owing to the moil having been pushed across the Isthmus, and a fast steamer (the rapidly pushed the mail on from Alexandria to Malta, it reached the latter place two days before time. The Marseilles portion will therefore be due in London on Friday, the 2nd proximo, and the heavy portion will be due at Southampton on Mon day next, the sth proximo. The neat Indian telegram till not be due before the llth of April. It wilt bring one day's later news than that just received. On the 17th of April most important news of the bombardment of Lucknow will most probably be received. This news will be from Bombay up to the 24th init. BIRTHS, MARRIAGES, AND DEATHS. • BIRTHS.
