COURT-MARTIAL IN INDIA. Head-quarters, Camp, Futtehghur, 6th March, 1824. At a European General Court-martial, assembled at Illtnapore, on Wednesday, the II th day of February, 1624, of which Lieute mant-Colonel M. Born Ist Battalion 53d Regiment of Native In fantry, is President, Born, P. P. Morgan, of the 2d Battalion 26th Regiment of Native Infantry, was arraigned upon the under mentioned charges, viz. " For conduct unbecoming the character of an Officer and a Gen tleman, in having, in a letter dated Cuttack, 3 0 th September, 1823, addges;ed to Lieutenant T. Roberts, of the same Corps, introduced the name of his immediate Commanding Officer, Major Watson, in a manner highly disrespe4itful and insubordinate; and in having, in the said letter, most unwarrantably thrown out various insinuatlnns or aspersions derogatory to the charaCter of his said Commanding Officer, particularly in the following instances, viz. I. You must, long ere now, be aware that this apprehension was grotindless, inasmuch as the information on which it was founded was itselffn/ae, in as far as the Residents are concerned, as also with regard to the groat majority of the Meets of the Batta lion ; it is likewise fate in, this case, they having all called on see whilst I was yet In your bungalow, or subsequently to my haling left it for my owns. ' 2. vWs shall now proceed to investigate the origin of this false and malicious libel, and to inquire to whom it Is to be attributed. ' In answering this query, Colonel Carpenter's name must be left entirely out of the question. To Whom, then, can it apply, but to Major Watson, Captain Stewart: or LifUtenant Auberjonstis? ' Having now reduced to the cabalistic number three, those from amongst whom is to be fought the libelkr, who has had the eillffseler to dictate to you with whom it is his pleasure that you should 'ma date, I will ask now, what possible objection even these three per sons could have to calling on you, there being a possibility of meet ing with me at your house? Ti this it is impossible to offer any but one answer, namely, that his conscience pricked him, and told him that he had beet) guilty of injuring (or at least endeavouring to injure) me—and he dared not look me in the face, through dread of betraying his con scious guilt—and one thing, which low and grovelling minds can• ' • never/segue is, to see the person whom they have traduced rifle. ;'through the force of conscious integrity, superior to their malevolent aspersions. But how, I will ask, are these calumniators, or perhaps I should say, is this calumniator, to avoid meeting me elsewhere?— Aar, as far as I can observe, you are the otdy person whom they have dared to insult by their dictation. How can he br they be certain that they will not meet me at the house of any other person, when be or they may call—or what security have they that I may not come in where theie may be one or Iwo or all awe? and one thing is certain, namely, that I will never tape the trouble to avoid them -nor you, nor any other who may blindly lend hirotelf.to their cabal. 'Those alone whose deeds are evil, seek the shade-11, on the ',, • contrary icenstious, of my own integrity), have ever sought the light, and ever - • • _ 3dly. " We will now appropriate .A.lfew lines to the objections of these persons to. meeting with me *lean conceive none others) • ..Aci whose opinions you appear to bow with so mach reverence. o •• a And first for Major Watson— ' What has he to complain of? • Why, a great matter, truly ; I required of him to act like a I I Gentleman !! ! Ao unreasonable request, doubtless ! and perhaps ikn so easily to be followed as recommended l' . "The whole or any part of such conduct being subversive of mi ttary discipline, and inlareach of the Articles of War. (Signed) " A. T. WATSON, Major, • Commanding 2d Batt. 126th Regiment, NJ." Cuttack, 11th October, 1823. Additional charge preferred against Captain P. P. Isloanan,lay Brigadier CAitriurrea, commanding at Ctittacl. " For having, while under arrest on the foregiSing charges, ad- I dressed a letter to Brigade Major Faithful', dated Cuttack, 21st November, 1823, conveying highly offensive and unjustifiable Impu ratioos on my conduct,particularly in the following paragraphs, viz. " I do, however, most solemnly protest against such decision, as well as the debarring me from reference to superior authority, as acts of the utmost cruelty.' " This is, I believe, the first time of an officer, under arrest, being placed at the mercy and discretion of his declared and pro fessed enemies. For such, and unprovokodly such, do I conceive Major Watson and his Staff Officers to be. And it is well known that no enmity is so Implacable as that which is gratuitously adopted.' " ' From these Officers I do expect nothing- bat indignity and oppression, and whilst impressed with such an opinion, I cannot 'refrain from expressing • abhorrence of the cruelty and injustice of subjecting me to their authority.' " The same being subversive of military discipline, and in breach dAthe Articles of War. (Signed) " G. CARPENTER, Lieut.-Colonel, Commanding in Cuttack." Clam*, Nov. 24, 1823. Upon which Charges the Court came to the following decision : VINDIN4 Ann Seltratice.—" The Court having maturely weighed the evidence adduced with what the prisoner has urged in his de 'fence, is of opinion that be is guilty of all and every part of the • charges preferred against him, which being in breach of the Articles of War, does sentence him, Capt. P. P. hlorgan, 2d Battallim, 26th Native Infantry, to be discharged the service of the Honourable Company."—Approved and confirmed. (Signed) "EDWARD PA GET, General, Commander-in-Chief in India." The sentence of this General Court-hlartial is accompanied by a recommendation of the prisoner to clemency; on the ground of length of service; and the Comm -rut -Cater would be well in clined to attend to it, if be did not feel imperatively called upon to mark, by a severe example to the Army, the sense he entertains of the conduct of those who, instead of employing the initience result ing from mature yeari and long service to direct the minds of in experienced youth in the straight path of duty and reverence for tegitimate authority, avail themselves of it to teach them the lesson ut insubordination,, and disrespect to their superiors. Captain MORGAN is to be struck off the List of. the Army from the date on which this order may be published at Dinspore, and directed to proceed without delay to Fort William.

Yesterday a Meeting of the Congregation of Albion r Chapel, Moorfields, took plate-at.the Chalzel, for the purpose of entering into Resolutions on the subject of the suspension of the Rev, Mr. FIArICHER frrink his (lilies. tions by the Synod at Edinburgh. The crowd sans im mense, and the cariosity intense. -No attempt Was made since that of Sunday to dispossess him of his pulpit in the name of the Synod, but, we understand that the teachers have determined to apply to the Lotto CHANCELLOR for an injunction, to restrain him from preaching at Albion Chapel, upon the ground that that Chapel has been built as. a place of worship for Presbyterians, and as Mr. FLE•rcuen disregards the authority of Presby tery, he is no longer entitled to perform service there. Upon the motion of Mr. Jones, the stock-broker, the Rev. Mr. Ftractota was himself called to the Chair, after a long prayer and a hymn. Mr. JONES, after some comments on the virtues of the Minister of Albion Chapel, propo s ed to the meeting a resolution that the congregation were determined to retain Mr. Fletcher as their Minister, notwithstanding the sentence pronounced against him by the Synod. ' This resolution was agreed to. 'Bete *as but one hand raised ' against it. • 111 r. Ftrunca believed that the Gentleman who raised his hand against the resolution had mistaken the question. The Gentleman stood up, and said he perfectly well understood it. and had but shown his opinion.--(isotsd hieing, and cries e" Turn him out.") Mr. FLETCHER said, the Gentleman who had nega tived the Resolution was a most worthy person, and was the first man who gave him a bed and a dinner, and prayed with him in London. He freely forgave him, for he believed that he was deceived. After some othei Resolutions of censure on the Presbytery, atc. Mr. FLExcnatt proceeded to make his declaration as to the circumstances of the - Charges against him. He was, at the time that he received a communication in ' forming him that he must -marry Miss Dick before September, labouting under the most severe domestic calaniities, the death of his mother and his sister, and other misfortunes. It was impoisible for him, under • such afflictions, to consent to the demand, which was then insisted upon with the greatest violence. The most unfair and inhuman threats were used, and he determined rather to die than to yield. He had done all in his power to procure a settlement by arbitration, but this was denied to him, - and he became the object of unrelenting persecutions. Not satisfied with the com promise which had been made in the Court of King's Bench, his opponents collected the documents, which they were bound in honour to conceal, and presented them to the Associa:e Synod at Edinburgh, who had come to the harsh determination to suspend him, a measure preparatory 'to that of excommunicating or handing bins over to the Devi). He denied that any promise had been made or violated by him. The Rev. Gentleman then proceeded to read a protest against the decisiooof the Synod, to the following effect: " In the presence of the &Austen of Hsu" I take my protest against the proceedings, the deed of. the Session of the Associate United Synod, at their late meeting on tsth September. The pro. ceedings of that Court were irt,:gular and unjust, inasmuch as they entered upon charges made against me in nay absence, where it was morally impthisible that I could be present with a prepared defence. I presented a petittoh to the Synod, beseeching them to send spe cific charges, with all the documents allowed me by the-roles of the Church; and that I would send my defence at the next meeting of Synod. This reasonable request was refused ; and though I have been faithful in their employ during my whole life, they have neg. lected ter receive what was requested for securing the ends of justice.' Had a secluded Curate, in similar circumstances, been refined whit I solicited, the voice of England would have. been lifted up to assert his injured rights; but the Secession Church, which, by pro fession. has raised a standard (or purity of discipline, has entered upon proceedings against me, refusing me in opportunity of giving • that evidence without which the ends of justice never could be obtained. . " I protest against the way in which these proceedings were con ducted, as evidencing dispositions at complete variance with the meekness of Christianity. I protest against the decision of the Court. They decide that lam guihy of a breach of promise of marriage, upon my own confession in the Court of King's Bench. My Counsel was not authorised to make such a confession; he, wisely, indeed, used such a discretion, under the conviction that the friends of the plaintiff would never agitate the business in the Ecclesiastical Courts. I challenge all the Barristers in England to find a breach of promise of marriage-in my letters, in the usual ac ceptation in which that term is 'understood. It is evident that the data on which they proceed are false, and therefore the conclusion cannot be just ; and had they allowed me to give a fair and full defence, I might have convinced them, unless they were blinded by most unreasonable prejudices, that they had viewed the subject erroneously; but this they have voluntarily rejected, and tyran. nically refused my just petition. The Court has charged me with duplicity; but they have given no evidence in support of such an accusation; of this duplicity I am altogether unconscious. If caution in dealing with a crafty antagonist be considered as du plicity, lam indeed guilty, but not otherwise. If the Court had given me the advantage of the most abandoned criminal, that of defending myself, I should have been able to have given explana tions of a variety of circumstances, which in no . other way could have been elucidated. But this they have denied me, and therefore I must have recourse to other measures in defence of my reputation. " The Court has pronounced my conduct censurable in dispensing the Sacrament in opposition to the wish of four of the Elders of my Session. But I considered the opposition to its observance unrea sonable, and at variance with Christian principles, and therefore dispensed the ordinance of the Lono's Supper agreeable to the wishes of my congregation. These men violently retained the communion plate, the sacred property of the congregation, and endeavoured to agitate their minds by the refusal of its use. I considered this con duct illegal, sacrilegious, and Cruel. A stranger to the fear of men, I gave to a beloved people the elements of a Semen's love. " I take my protest against the sentence of the Court, for their decision is built on a false foundation. They have for six months suspended the functions of my office, and have forbidden the Church Oft GOD to have any fellowship with me in Christian pri vileges. They have overlooked the most egregious violation of the sacred canon of inspiration, in my being dragged into a Court of Law, which could have been easily avoided by the arbitration which I proposed. They have refused to animadvert upon unpa ralleled injuries which I have received from my servants; but to ' everything which was uttered to my prejudice they have listened, and they have refused any defence which I could bring forward against the shafts of malevolence and envy. That Ecclesiastical Court have published to the world a sentence derogatory to that sacred lustre with which they have been so long irradiated. Let them retrace their steps, and thus display that mercy has triumphed over judgment. "'!'here are many things in my proceedings which are fat from meeting nay own approbation. Were I again 'So traverse the same troubled seas ' I might make considerable variations in my course, but as it has been my lot to have conflicted for two years with the most repulsive passions of the human heart, I have reason to lift op nay eyes to the Disrosra of all Emirs, that the vigour of my constitution has not diminished, nor the dispositioe to prosecute the duties of my - sacred office abated.. I-take this protest in the pre sence of my congregation, and having received from them an affec tionate entreaty to exercise my pastoral duties, I shall, in accord ance with their loving invitation, and in humble dependence on the strength of Him who 'has commanded me to," call on man master," continue to labour among them during the future, as I have done in the past, to alleviate their sorrows in this vale of teara, sod to assist them in their journey to that world, where the perfection of wisdom, purity, and enjoyment shall for eter ferns the inheritance of the blessed."—The meeting then broke up.

COMMON HALL: .. , Ls the STAR of yesterday, we announced the election of .Alderman GARRATT to the office of Lord Mayor for ; the year ensuing. After the return. had been made to the Court of Aldermen, and they lad chosen the wor thy Alderman, the RECORDER announced it to the Li very amidst loud applause. Alderman GARRATT, being then i falled, came for ward, .was invested with the chain it 'and proceeded to address the Hall. He was not only grateful for the high honour they had done him, but for the kind man ner in which they had carried his election. He trusted that, in whatever situation he should be called upon to preside, whether in Common Hall, in the Court of Al dermen, or in the Common Council, he would be found acting impartially, without reference to party feelings. He trusted that, as they were never likely to call upon him to convene them for any but lawful and honour. able purposes, he should have unfeigned pleasure, in meeting the Livery at all times. As to the splendour and dignity of the office, though he would not pretend to °time his predecessors, in whose conduct he found not the least reason for dissatisfaction, he trusted that he should not be backward in evincing the proper de gree of spirit, endeavouring to keep a judicious balance between the sense of his personal humility and the con sciousness of that high dignity, which, in regard to the office of Chief Magistrate, he was now called upon to assume. His conduct in the office of Sheriff might perhaps be taken as a pledge of his behaviour. He trusted to the succouring judgment of the Court of Al dermen to preserve him - from any very grave error; and far slight failures of judgment, his reliance was on the kindness now evinced for him by the Hall—(( beers). Mr. FAVELL applauded the address of the Lord Mayor elect, from whom they had much to hope. The Livery, however, ought not to be inattentive to what was due to the Lord Mayor who was then sitting; and he was sure they would gladly seize that opportunity of testifying their gratitude and regard to him for the manner an whichhe had discharged the duties of that high and responsible station. He concluded by pro posing a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor, which was received with loud acclamations. Mr. Deputy Ravi's seconded the motion. Mr. HENRY HUNT, amidst a clamour of shouts, partly in applause, but more ha disapprobation, moved, " that a Resolution of the Com mon Hall, held at Midsummer, for publishing the accounts of the auditors for the benefit of the Livery, should be now read." The Loan Mevoa did not see how that could be connected with the resolution of thanks now preposed.The motion was negaQved. The LORD MAYOR then came forward, and returned thanks. He said, that often as he had been gratified by receiving the thanks of hi{ fellow-citizens, whether it was when they met in that Hall or elsewhere, he had never been so much pleased as on the present occasion. He declared his adherence to the principles which he advocated when he first came before them, and when they were threatened, he would ever say, in the words of the immortal Chatham, " Rather let us perish in a contest for the principles of our glorious Constitution, than. abate one iota of them"—(Applause). He then spoke of the calumnies with which he had been as sailed. It had been reported of him, that he intended to get himself returned a second time to serve the office of Lord Mayor, in order to make use of the influence of that office, which was said to command 600 or 700 votes, and by such means get himself re turned as one of their Representatives to Parliament. Now he was not aware that kit' , Lord Mayor, from his situation, had such an influence: if he had, what had those Lord Mayors to answer for, who by such means got themselves returned to Parliament? But he declared that he disdained such a course, and if ever his fellow citizens should think proper to re-elect him, they would do it spontaneously, unbiassed, and uninfluenced in any way. The vote which he had that day received was a sufficient answer to all the calumnies that had been ut tered against him. He then took a review of the state of affairs during his Mayoralty, and expressed his hopes that he had fully redeemed the pledge with which he had set out, that he would give all his time, attention, and abilities to the performance of his duties. Mr. FAVILL proposed a vote of thanks to the late Sheriffs, which being seconded by Mr. S. Dime, passed unanimously. Mr. Wnirrazaa returned thanks in a neat speech, as did Sir Prins LA URI& It was then resolved, that the above Resolutions slitnild vertised in the usual Papers, and the Hall was dissolved. A Court of Aldermen was then held, at which thanks were votel to the Lord Mayor's Chaplain, for hip sermon preached prior to the election of LORD Maros, and some other routine business dispatched. WINCHESTER SESSIONS, SEPT. 28. Thomas O'Neal, the boxer, stood indicted for stealing a sovereign, the property of Andrew Phelan, a brother Pat, on the 24th of August last. The prosecutor was sworn, and stated, 44 I had been at work as a labourer, at the farm of Mr. Woodham, on the 24th of August, and had been paid the money due to me ; I was a little tessicated, having been treated with a good sup of Mr. Woodham's ale ; I was not iliriteJ drunk, only a little drinkey. In the course of that night I went into the City Arms, and called for some beer . and bread and cheese; while taking it, the prisoner, Mister O'Neal, walked into the house with Mister Goulding, who began to talk about fighting, andffashed a good deal about that they could do; I told Goulding I would fight him for a sovereign, and Goulding said he would not fight•me. One of the company said to me, 4 you cannot shew a sovereign, for yon have not got one.' I told them it was a lie, for I had, and I took one out of my pocket, and threw it on the table. The prisoner, O'Neal, immediately snapped it up, and rung it on the table, and said it was a good one, and told me that if I won the battle on the following day, I should• have the sovereign returned. I said I would, have my money again, and not be robbed of it;- and a row was kicked up, and such a hubbdb was made that the landlord'cleared the room, and O'Neal and the sove reign were both gone. I went to O'Neal's lodgings next day, and found that he and all his party,had left there during the night, leaving their lodgings and teckoning at the tavern unpaid, and I gave information to a eon= stable, who pursued the party and apprehended them." It appearecticom the evidence of other witnesses, that the Ma gistrate dismissed all but O'Neal.wben they were examined before hint, and O'Neal said the money was takes fora lark.

Wednesday evening, the 22d of September, .a party of smugglers attempted to run a cargo of spirits, near 50 Tower, Bexhill,lStissex, when they were interrupted by Lieutenant Brand and the men under his command, and seven of the smugglers taken, together with one hundred tubs of spirits. One of the blockade men jumped into the boat for the purpose of seizing her, when the smugglers shoved off, and carried the man with them. Three galleys immediately put off in chase of the boat, without effect, and the body of the unfor tunate man was picked up in the morning on the sands, below high-water mark, with the head and (ace dread. fully bruised and lacerated. A Coroner's Inquest was held on Saturday at the Wheat Sheaf public-house, Little Compton, near 50 Tower, before ThOMAS BARTON, Esq. Coroner for the County, when Lieutenant William Henry Brand de posed, that being on duty on Wednesday, about half past nine r. M. he observed a party of men go over the beach towards the water's edge, and shortly afterwards he heard a noise as if of tubs being rolled out of a boat, and immediately afterwards the same party returned over the beach, and then he perceived the deceased William Welch lift np his arm and fire his pistol in the air for an alarm. Deponent immediately I ushed among the party, and from that moment lost sight of Welch. Michael Maloney, seaman, depowd, that being on duty oa the beach on Wednesday evening, be heard the alarm fired, and ran to the spot, where he saw Welch, in the boat, who called to him by name to come to his asslistance. Deponent went into the water as far as he could, but was not able to reach the boat ; the deceased called out several times, ' 6 Oh, Maloney, Maloney, come to me." Deponent asked if he should are his pistol ? to which be received no reply ; he was deterred front firing his pistol lest he should shoot the deceased ; he was well acquainted with the deceased, and could not be mistaken as to his voice. Five or six other witnesses deposed to the same effect. Isaac Dias, assistant-surgeon of the Coast Blockade, was called up at five o'clock on Thursday morning, to esamine the body of William Welch. He found a wound in the forehead, which, in las opinion, was indicted with some obtuse instrument L was quite paisitive it was not a wound from a pistol ball, but thou& it might be from the butt-rod or the muzzle of the pistol : part of the nose was also cut off by some sharp instrument. Neither of these .swounds would, in his opinion, have caused immediate death, but they were sufficient to have stunned the deceased, and the proxi mate cause of his death was drowning was sure neither of the wound. could have arises from a fall. The CORODIZi read over the evidence to the Juiy, and informed them, that whether be was killed in the boat, and after wards thrown overboard, or whether he was knocked overboard by vio lence, or thrown overboard, it made no difference ; it would be equally murder. The Jury considered for moose dare, and then brought in a ver dict ot—Fonad. Drowned ! • In washing the body for interment after the Inquest, four Wounds were discovered on the tipper lip, end one under the left eye, all of which had been evidently inflicted witk the muzzle of a pistol.— These wounds were concealed by the great quantity of Mood that was clotted on the face.
