SUTTEE PREVENTED. From the Sumbad Commoody Dec. 30, 1829. Maneek Mundul, resident in a place situated near Narkel danga, on the east side of Calcutta, and whose age was about eighty, having occasion to cross the public road. accidentally fell under the wheels of a carriage of a medical gentleman as it was passing by Doomtollah-lane, which caused his death on the 25th of December, to the grief of his family. It being reported that his wife would burn herself on her deceased husband's funeral pile, the police officers and neighbours assembled there, and we hear that the deceased's wife told some of them that " she had for merly twice burnt herself on the funeral pile of this hus band, he having once before fallen under a carriage and lost his life in the same manner as now, and at that time the police officers had attempted to prevent her but it was in vain; consequently, said she, who can prevent a suttee ?" The Police Darogah reported this circumstance to the Magistrate, and this worthy gentleman, in compliance with the regulations of the enlightened Lord William Bentinck, forbidding the burning of widows with their husbands, gave notice to the Dahogah to that effect; but as the Darogah still sent a report to him, he suspended the Darogah for this misconduct, and prevented the wi dow from burning herself with her deceased husband ; consequently the deceased was burnt alone, and the widow's life was saved. The police officers, for the protection of the deceased's wife, remained four or five days in her house. She is at present living with her children. A fortnight ago, we gave our readers a short account of a suttee having been prevented from pursuing her in tention of sacrificing herself with her deceased husband, just at the moment all was ready, but a press of business, and want of time prevented our giving a further detail last week. We have now heard that, in the vicinity of Bhunderduh, a man named Rober Surdar having paid the' debt of nature, his widow was persuaded to become a suttee. This report being made known to her relations, they brought her, with the corpse, to the banks of the river Surrasutee, and the deceased's son, named Roop Sudar, gave notice to the head man of Salik Thanah. The Da rogah, after obtaining all necessary information, sent a Hindoo peon to the place, to prevent her from becoming a suttee. In order to enforce the rule of government, and to bring back the tidings, the Darogah despatched another man to the spot, who returned quickly, bringing information of its having been prevented, and, more par ticularly, informed the Darogah that the Gomashta of the village, named Muddon (hose, had used much exertion to cause the suttee to take place. This being reported to the Learned Judge of Hawaly, he sent for the Go mashta, and inquired into the evidence to prove the fact, that he might be punished. EMIGRATION. Since Tuesday, three vessels, the Jane, Enterprise, and Andrew Nugent, cleared out of this port with emi grants for America. Notwithstanding the advanced pe riod of the season, hundreds are waiting in Sligo for the sailing of other vessels which are fi tting up.—Sligo Jour. An Emigration Committee has been formed at Bicester, for the purpose of enabling the poor of Biceater Market End to emigrate to North America. A meeting was held in the vestry room of the church on Saturday last, to re ceive applications from such poor persons as might be de sirous of going. Married men were ordered to take their wives with them, in order that the Committee might have the consent of both parties. The following are the terms offered by the Committee in their printed notice :—" The sum of 141. will be given to a man, his wife, and six chil dren ; and the same proportion for a greater or lesser number ; to a single man, 31. to a widower, having chil (hen, the same as a man, his wife, and family. The money will be paid as soon as the parties get on board at Liverpool, and every expense of conveyance and provisions paid by the committee from the time of their leaving Bi cester until they shall be landed at New York." In a former number we stated that emigration to Ame rica from this port had exceeded the expectation of the ship agents, and that the bulk of the passengers were Protestants ; we could at this time have asserted, without fear of contradiction, that nine-tenths of them were.— Since that period other ships have sailed with their full complement of passengers. The ship Asia, Capt. Ward, for Philadelphia, of which Mr. George Buchanan was agent, was almost exclusively Protestant—and we never witnessed more respectable emigrants : they were mostly from the neighbourhood of Omagh and Newton-Stewart. St. John's, New Brunswick, was the place to which the labouring class (principally Roman Catholics) were here tofore anxious to proceed. It is remarkable that very few now go there, although the passage can be procured for 30e. We will shortly turn our attention to this matter, and show to the public the effect which the " healing measure" has had upon the Protestants of Ulster.— Derry Sentinel. MEETING AT OLDHAM. On Monday last a public meeting was held on Bent green, Oldham, to consider the distressed state of the country, a repeal of the corn laws, radical reform, &c. This was, we believe, the first political meeting which has been held in the open air in this neighbourhood for some years past ; and, notwithstanding a very extensive circulation of placards throughout the neighbourhood, the meeting presented a very different appearance from that which was exhibited by the meetings held on the same spot in the high and palmy days of radicalism, in the year 1819. The assemblage might amount to 400 or 500 persons, a considerable proportion of whom ap peared to have been attracted merely by curiosity. At four o'clock Mr. John Haigh, of Oldham, was called to the chair, and read over the requisition by which the meeting was convened. He then proceeded to expatiate on the effects produced by the changes in the currency— effects which, he said, he clearly foresaw, even when Mr. Cobbett himself was in doubt about them. The meeting was then repeatedly addressed by Mr. John Knight and Mr. Fitton, of Radical celebrity, and by a Scotchman, named Millar, who said he was one of the distressed weavers, but whose dress and personal ap pearance by no means betokened that excess of misery which he described as haring fallen on the hand-weavers. The speeches were, of course, similar to those which were formerly wont to be delivered upon similar occa sions; and a series of 13 resolutions, evidently drawn up by Mr. John Knight, calling for taxes on machinery, a reduction of expenditure and taxation, a repeal of the corn laws, a radical reform, and a variety of other mat ters, were unanimously passed ; and petitions to both Houses of Parliament, founded on the resolutions, were agreed to. It was also resolved to form a society at Old ham, on the principles of the London Radical Reform Association. The meeting then quietly eepersted.— Manchester Gazette. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF RING'S BMW, Dusini, MAT 21. EX-OFFICIO IN FORM ATION. THE KING V. GRATTAN. At the sitting of the Court, the ATTORNEY-GE NERAL having stated that Mr. Grattan was in attend ance, moved the Court that judgment be pronounced upon him. Mr. PERRIN then rose, and at great length com mented upon the affidavit put in by Mr. Grattan in mi tigation of punishment—and animadverted in very strong language upon the affidavits which had been filed by the Crown in reply. Mr. Perrin concluded by stating that Mr. Grattan did not deny his responsibility, nor did he by hie affidavit seek to lessen the liability attachable to the crime as stated in the informations; he did not deny that the publications were grossly libellous, but he did deny that he countenanced their publication, and he expressed his total dissent from, and his utter disappro bation of, the spirit in which they were couched. Mr. Grattan, said Mr. Perrin, has admitted on the records of the Court hie legal liability for the publications in ques tion; from that responsibility be does not seem to shrink, but he has filed his affidavit for the purpose of showing the Court, that though legally responsible, he is not mo rally guilty of publishing libels, the spirit and style of which he utterly condemns. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL here called upon the Offi cer of the Court to read the libels, which appeared in the Freeman's Journal newspaper of the 24th of August and the 18th of November, 1829. As soon as the Officer concluded, The ATTOANEY-GBEIRAL said, that now the libels had been read, he should leave it to any man who hoard them to say, if they were not the most atrocious libels that ever appeared in print ; and if he had suffered them to pass unnoticed, he would be undeserving of filling the high office he had the honour to hold. If Mr. Grattan had not filed the affidavit that he had, it was not his (the Attorney General's) intention to have said one word in the way of aggravation ; all he should have deemed it necessary to do was to have had the libels read, and leave it to the Court to say what punishment they would in flict upon Mr. Grattan. As to the time at which Mr. Grattan put in his plea of guilty, he thought it necessary to say a few words to the Court. The defendant at first challenged the Crown to the proof of his proprietor ship, and he did not withdraw his plea until the Crown were prepared to join issue with him. The plea of guilty, he says, was put in by the advice of Counsel—and certainly more ingenious counsel than Mr. Grattan's were not to be found. His consciousness of his own innocence, he says, first induced him to put in a plea of not guilty, but his Counsel discover some nondescript kind of interference on his part in the management of this Journal, which induce them to think him legally responsible, and they advise him to withdraw that plea, and put in one of guilty. Mr. , Grattan was not the reigistered proprietor—he was not the', author of the libels—he was not the Editor of the Paper, but he was the husband of Mrs. Grafton, and therefore be cause some old debts remained to be collected belonging to the establishment, the Counsel advise him that he was legally responsible. Can any man believe, said the At torney-General, that this was the real cause why he was advised to withdraw his plea? Mr. Grattan says in his affidavit that he was in communication with the persons who had the superintendence of the establishment; but, my Lords, unless these communications had reference to the publication of the libels, how could Mr. Grattan have been held responsible for them? The crown was ready to join issue with him on that point; they thought they had the means of proving, that though not the registered proprietor, he was the bona jide proprietor, and from this investigation Mr. Grattan shrunk, and substituted a plea of guilty for that of not guilty. The Attorney-General was here about to comment at great length on Mr. Grat tan's affidavit, but the court intimated to him that they would not trouble counsel at either side to proceed further in the case. The Court then consulted for some time, and said they would not pronounce judgment on Mr. Grattan at pre sent, but would wait until the Attorney-General should move them again upon the subject. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—My Lords, the motion is with the Court, and your Lordships will deal with it as you think fit. Judge JEBB—After what has been thrown out by the Court, perhaps, Mr. Attorney, you had better turn the matter in your mind. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then bowed, and left the Court. DUBLIN, MAY 22. MR. GRATTAN.—This gentleman was brought up for judgment to-day. The Attorney-General, Mr. Joy, stated that he had no wish to press the proceedings fur ther. Mr. Grattan's connection with the paper was acci dental, and altogether he did not deem it a case for se verity. Mr. Grattan, therefore, is free ; and we have to say, that this is one of many occasions in which the press and public liberty are under deep obligations to the pre sent Attorney -General.—Pilot. KILDARE MEETING.—There was a most respectable meeting held at Naas on the 19th instant—R. Archbold, Esq. in the Chair; William Lewis, Esq. secretary—at which strong resolutions were entered into, and a peti tion agreed upon against the meditated imposts of the British Minister. His Grace the Duke of Leinster, Earl of Mayo, Colonel Connolly, Mr. R. Cassidy, and a great number of gentlemen of the first respectability in the county, attended, and moved and spoke to resolutions. EmIGRATIONO—.TWO vessels crowded with emigrants for America, sailed from Dublin quays yesterday morning —one of them, the Brothers, a splendid ship of great burden, bound for Quebec. The passengers, with the ex ception of not more than ten, were from various parts of the interior. EXTRAORDINARY APPLOTLIENT...-At a Vestry held in Carrick-on-Suir, on Thursday, it was proposed by Surgeon Flood, a Protestant, and eventually carried by the meeting, contrary to the wishes of the Minister, that each of the Catholic inhabitants should only pay one halfpenny towards the assessment. Accordingly the Ca tholic householders, in all 432, were only taxed one half penny each, which amounted to eighteen shillings, and the remainder of the assessment, which this year amounted to 361. 11s. 2d. was applotted on the Protes tant parishioners. LORD LIEUTENANT Or IRELAND.—It is asserted, that his Grace of Northumberland will be the last noble man who will 611 this high of f ice. The contemplated changes are, the appointment of a Secretary for Ireland, who is to have, in virtue thereof, a seat in the Cabinet, and in whom is to be vested all the responsibility of the government, and all the patronage of the country.—ln addition to these arrangements, lord lieutenants of coun ties, the same as in England, are to be appointed, with an express stipulation, that they are to be constantly re sident in their counties ; consequent upon this arrange ment all the present Commissions of the Peace are to be called is, and new ones issued by;the respective Lords Lieutenants of the counties: By this means all cause of invidiousness in a radical reform of the Irish magistracy will be avoided.—Evenieg Post. MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE. A very strong sensation has been excited within the last few days in the neighbourhood of the Yorkshire Stingo and Lisson-grove, by the discovery of a human skeleton in the garden of a house in Winchester-row, a line of houses fronting into the New-road. Some la bourers were digging for a foundation for a new out building on Tuesday last, when one of them found some obstruction in the ground to his work, and proceeding with a very proper caution, he turned up the mould gently with his spade, and discovered a human skeleton, quite perfect, without any appearance of a coffin or shell, or the remains of one. This discovery was immediately communicated to the present occupier of the house, who directed an application to be made to the police, and Serjeant Tyson, an intelligent officer of the Mary-la bonne division, was brought to the spot. The Serjeant ordered a shell to be procured, and had the bones care fully collected and placed in it, and conveyed to the In firmary attached to the Mary-la-bonne workhouse. He then commenced an active inquiry in the neighbourhood, in order if possible to throw some light upon so strange and mysterious a discovery, and he learned that about nine years ago the house in the garden of which the skeleton was found, was occupied by a middle-aged wo man who was married, but had left her husband, and had accepted the protection of a man of fortune in the city, who hired the house alluded to, and furnished it in the first style of elegance for her use. She brought with her to that house her only son, a fine boy of about 13 or 14 years of age, born in wedlock, and he resided with her. He was a lively and spirited youth, and was oc casionally severely checked and chastised by his mother, treatment which he resented sometimes in a violent man ner. All of a sudden the youth disappeared, and some of the neighbours who had their attention drawn to him a good deal, enquired of the servant first, and afterwards of the mother, what had become of him, and were told that he had run away from home, and shipped himself on board a vessel bound to the Indies, and was then on his voyage. No more was thought on the subject, and the mother soon afterwards quitted the neighbourhood. Serjeant Fyson, on ascertaining these facts, called the attention of Mr. Goodger, the surgeon of Mary-la-bonne Infirmary, to the case, and that gentleman, with two others of the faculty, carefully examined the skeleton found in the garden, and pronounced it to be that of a male person who had died at the age of about 14 or 15. Fyson became more assiduous than ever in his enquiries on hearing this, and by dint of great perseverance has, we understand, collected together a chain of evidence of an extraordinary description. The skeleton remains at the Infirmary. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Yesterday afternoon an Inquest Ni as held before Mr. UN WIN, one of the Coroners for the County of Middlesex, and a respectable Jury, at the Whitechapel Workhouse, upon the body of Jesse Prescott, who came by his death early on Sunday morning, in the manner detailed in the following evidence : Thomas Brown, a street-keeper to Whitechapel parish, swore, that about half-past one on Sunday morning he went to Mr. Strain's house in Charlotte-street, which was then on fire. The engines were then playing, and in a quarter of an hour the fire was put out. Mr. Strain said that all lives were safe. The witness and Wright, a fireman belonging to the County Fire Office, found the deceased in the back room first floor, in his shirt and night-cap, and quite dead. The deceased was carried to the Queen's Hew: public-house, and in ten minutes Mr. Reid, the surgeon, arrived. The fire appeared to have broken out in the staircase. The deceased was about 16 years of age, and beyond a little burnt mark on the left arm, there was no external mark on his body. Mr. Reid, the surgeon, said, that he was called in to see the deceased at two o'clock on Sunday morning. He found the deceased lying in the Queen's Head tap-room, quite dead and cold. There was a small burn on the left arm, which was the only mark of external violence. He opened the body, and fot , nd the ossels of the brain much extended, which is the usual sign of death by suffocation. Mr. Joseph Strain, a butcl;;r, of No. 46, Charlotte- I street, Whitechapel.—The deceased was my servant. I went to bed a quarter before one on last Sunday morning, and the deceased slept in the same room with me. About a quarter past one o'clock I discovered the appear ance of light at the bed-room door. I opened the door and the flames came rushing into the room. I called to the deceased to save himself or ho would be burnt. I went down stairs and opened the street door. On my re turn to the bed-room I found the door shut, and could not open it, on account of the heat. I subsequently Called to the boy, " Jesse, Jesse, come here," from the tiles at the roar of the house. He made no answer, but somebody called that the boy was safe out. No one slept in the house but the witness and the deceased, and he be lieves the fire was accidental, and cannot account how it originated, as all was safe when they retired to rest. The Jury in a few minutes returned a verdict of—Ac cidental death. An inquisition was yesterday taken before THOMAS STIRLING, Esq. at the Buffalo's Head, in the New-road, on a human skull, and certain other bones, supposed to be human, which were found in the garden of No. 29, Winchester-row, Homer-street, New-road, and respect ing which reports had been circulated of a nature most prejudicial to the character of a lady. The CORONER was of opinion that, after what they had heard from the witnesses, it was no use proceeding farther, and the jury proceeded to view the miscellaneous collection of bones, touching which they had been in quiring, and, on their return, delivered a verdict—" That the skull was human ; but that there did not appear to be any grounds for supposing its owner had been des troyed; and how it came there, they had no evidence." It was stated that the house had once been tenanted by a young surgeon, a circumstance which, if true, will easily account for the motley collection of bones found. The Royal Almanack does not acknowledge Don Mi guel King of Portugal. The name of Donna Maria 11. appears in it, with the title of " Queen of Portugal."— Figaro. RISE IN AGRICULTURAL PRICES.—The annual Fair of Dundalk took place on Monday, the 17th inst. It was well attended, and both Milch and Dry Cows sold freely at prices from 20s. to 30s. per head higher than what theycould be purchased for in the neighbouring fairs about a month since. Prime Springers were scarce, and very much sought after, at prices from eight to twelve guineas. Pigs were in demand, and sold freely at 28s. to 2s. per cwt. Small store Pigs have advanced within the last two months 20 per cent. THE STA 11Ph•DISTILLESILS.—Monday last, we understand, Mr. Gonlburn waited on Sir John Newport, to apologies, in the name of the Duke of Wellington, for not before answering the communication from the Irish members who met at the Thatched House, and to say,l that his Grace had their resolutions then before him, and that he would return an answer within three days. l an G d E b N ud C ness E. very bt. s t SPORTING I yesterday,N T E LL TATTERSALL'& The promises were crowded betting and comparing books having continued till half.past . ice o'clock.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. MATIIMONTAL AGINCY.—The case of Mn. Brady, who star induced by her conespondence with Mr. Wright, the general nem. to come to London from Warrington, in the hope of obtaining a lucrative situation, came on again before the Loan Alamos. The gmtleman by whom Mr. Wright was commissioned, according to his own statement, to engage a housekeeper who might turn out to be eligible as a wife, attended in obedience to the Lord Mayor's sum. moos. He had been, be said, brought up as an attorney, but had taken a shop near Goswell.street.road for his wife,'.who, however, died a short time ago. Mr. Mohler having read over to the attorney the substance of the statement made by Mrs. Brady on Friday last, and on the ex. bastion given by Mt. Wright, in which the man of the law was desadbed as a saoolmaster, and In quest of another companion for The Loin MAYOR asked whether he bad commissioned th • " genaal broker" as had been described. The attorney most indignantly declared that he never had em ployed Mr. Wright in his life in any manner, and surely if he want. ed to speculate in wives he would not have been so mad as to di,- closes secret of the kind to that person. Mr. Wrriigght said that the attorney's memory was excessively shor. and unsatisfactory, for he had forgaten what other men would have considwed by far the most important feature of the directions he bad given. The lady was to describe her person, and certainty fc r the purpose of giving the applicant an opportunity of forming an early opinion as to her being able to stand the test as for as personal alarms. went. said the asseadon was a most unqualified and son. sophlsti a c t a t t a Valsehood. He never entertained an ides of marrying an individual upon such meagre testimonials, and if Mrs. Brady bad paid any money to the general agent, he hoped the law would not be lay in the matter, and compel a that agent to remunerate her for her loom of time. and expense n Mr. Wright shook his heed very mu at He considered i. ungrateful in a person whom he had gone to a great deal of trouble to accommodate with s lady adapted to his taste, to turn round upon him and accuse him of having acted unconscienciously.— " You know very well, Sir," said he, " that you said if you should be satisfied with the lady 1 should supply you with. you would make her your wife. It was a specific declaration or yours.' The Attorney—'Tis false. I never said a word about it. 31y Lord Mayor, I am ready to take my oath that nothing of the sort was ever said by me. Mrs. Brady-1 didn't want a husband; it was said that my ob. jeer in coming to:town was to get a husband, but I assure you, my Lord, I bad no thought of the kind. I wanted no husband. (A laugh.) I merely wanted a place, and 1 have been brought all t1..4 way for nothing. The Attorney—l wanted no wife. (Loud laughter.) I d!dn't send for you. No, no. Mr. Wright—lt was my duty to introduce you to each other (Laughter.) lam employed by some most respectable people, and conduct the business of a general agent openly. Could any thing be mare unexceptionable than my conduct in this affair. A gentle. man loses his wife, and as he is in want of somebody to mind 3 shop, thinks that he may as well unite the employments, and ay. plies to me to procure him a person qualified - in both respects. I pursued the most effectual course ; but I must confess, that when I saw Mrs. Brady, I thought she wouldn't do. The Attorney—l assure you, my Lord, that nothing was farther from my thoughts than a wife. Mr. Wright—My Lord, I hope you will acquit me of any sus. picious intentions. My business is straight forward, I shall en. deavour to procure a situation for this poor woman. The Loan AlAvon—You bad better give her some recoospenc: for the injury she has sustained. Take my advice, and withdrav with ha. It is betty to settle a matter of this kind as speedily as possible. Mr. Wright at once admitted the propriety of his Lordship's tug 9tiainon, and after a little conversation with Mrs. Brady, struck s with her, by which she will be enabled to return to Lan. ire in atatu quo.
