This most inryirtant cause came on yesterday, in pursuance of a former adjoi.rionent, to be argued before a very NU Board of t he ,ards of the Treasury, assisted by the ATTORNEY and Sou coos GENERAL, &C. &C. gr. ADAM, of COIITISCI for the Marquis Of HASTINGS, addressed their lordships at totssideruble length, and after he concluded, • Dr. Lusisiscrox, of Counsel also for the Noble . Marquis, pro ceeded to address the Board till five o'clock, wheu their Lord- Os adjourned till twelve o'ctOck to-day. Br. Lusinsicum, it is supptsea, wilt occupy t*o days before lie concludes his argument, in behalf of his client's claim, it then necessarily follows that their Lordships will have to hear Alr. ilasaisos and Dr. Jesnont, in behalf of Sir T.. /Itstor, Fart in reply; so that the final decision of the eatse cannot pos ribly•take place before the expiration of five or six days. Should even an adjournment for a short period occtir, after the conclusion of Dr. Lusatian: iron's argument, it is, nevenhe- Ms, understood, that their Lordships will pronounce their judg ment before the meeting of Parliament. The expense attendant on the prosecution of these claims is already immense. 'fhe Solicitora' bills, on both sides, it is pre sumed, cannot be less, at present, than £lO,OOO each!

Lord PALMERSTON has issued a Circular, directing that " the antiqnated Gallicism 4 Accompt' be left off in the orthography of the War Office, and the Eng lish word i•Accourte be substituted for it." Although this is not a very important subject to make a Circu lar about, yet it is certain that them is a silly affectation Nery prevalent, of quoting . French words and•phrases, which are quite unnecessary, and can as well be ex- Tressed in English, and that of le acccmpt" is one. It has been suggested, as the business of the War Office is in such a state as to admit of Lord PAL DIERsToN turning his attention to such trifles, his Lordship cannot surely require the assistance of a Deputy Secretary at War. at £2500; a SuPerinJ teadent of Accounts, at £loooi a First Clerk, at 1:1400 ; and Principal Clerk, at £l2OO per annum.

When GEORGE the Tiattto was at Weymouth, he frequently .rode in the dress of a private Gentleman, attended by one servant in private livery. On one occasion •:.be was overtaken on Dorset Downs by a shower. The KING turned to his servant, and ordered liina ::to gallop off to the nearest house. His Masesrs• himself entered a hut close to the spot, and said to the shepherd who was sitting inside, " Will you give me a few minutes shelter?"—" To be sure I wool," said the shepherd ; " come in, and sit thee opc,n yon barrel." The pelsoant was cutting a large lump of fat - pork, which stood upon a slice of bread as thick as the pork, and swallowing pieces large *rou g h to make a score of Courtiers vomit. The 'Monarch considering himself unknown, and at li berty to converse freely, said, " I see, my good fel low, you have a substantial meal upon your bread— yea with a good .appetitei but don't you think it would eat better upon a silver plate ?"—" A silver plate! No," replied the shepherd. ' 46 Why not, friend Why, Zur, you know as well as I do, that .great folks, who eat off silver plates, have no lippetite. Now, as I have a good appetite, I wish , to keep it—l want none of your silver plates, not I!" The KING laughed heartily at the shepherd's con terupt of opulent !flannels, and onset ved, " that al though he did not like silver, perhaps he might have no objection to gold!" The Monarch at the satire moment threw down a guinea, and the rain being over, rode•off,,lpaiing the poor unsophisticated shoes herd looking vaitia . p.stonishment St the Royal portrait •-• •• • Ir, ;Pi NArilL INTELLIGENCE.

While this ougfit to render us grateful to PROVIDENCE, we should not be unmindful of 4rose who are less favourably sitaated. The recent, earth quake in Syria is one of those calamitous events whiCh' calls loudly for our sympathy and relief. " On. the 13th August (says Mr. BARKER, the English Coasul), at halfpast nine in the evening, Aleppo, Antioch, Idlib, Atha, Gisser Shogr, Dar coush, Armenas, every village; and every detached cottage id this Pachalic, and some towns in the ad joining ones, were in ten or twelve seconds entirely ruined by. an. earthquake, and are become heaps of stones and rubbish, in which; at the lowest computa tion, twenty thousand human beings, about a tenth of the population, ; were destroyed, and an equal number maimed or wounded, The shock was felt ; at sea so violently, within two leagues of Cyprus, that it was thought the ship had grounded. Flashes of volcanic fire were perceived at various times throughout the night, resembling the light of the full moon ; but at no place, to my knowledge, has it left a chasm of any extent ; although in the low grounds slight crevices are everywhere to' he seen, and out of many of them water issued, but 50,.0 after subsided.' " It is impossible (continues this Gentleman) to. convey an - adequate idea elthe scenes of horror that were simultaneously passing in the dreadful night of the 13th August. Here hundreds of decrepid pa rents, half buried. in the ruins, were,-imploring the succour of their sons, not always willing to risk their 'own lives by giving their assistance. .There dis tracted mothers were franticly lifting heavy storms, -from heaps that covered the bodies of their lifeless "infants. ,The awful darkness of the night, the con tinuance of the most violent shocics,-at short inter vals, the crash of falling walls,, the shrieks, the groans, the accents of agony and detpair of that long night,' cannot be- described. When at length the morning dawned, and the return of light permitted the people to quit the spot on which they had been prbvidentially saved, a most affecting scene ensued.

This lasted till four o'clock, and at five the earthquake ceased, having in the meantime destroyed 'mat of the. houses and the walls of the city, while the few that still remain are in the very worst condition. There are buried under the ruins about 50,000 persons, including Turks, Christians, and Jews, among whom ate Sceik Itazah, head of the Mahometan religion; Esra Picciotto, Austrian Consul; and Musa •Derian, Chief Officer of the Customs.

On the evening of the 9.6t1 Of . April, While the Wis. • Man and her paramour• were passinetheir happiest Moments in her own chamber, the carpenter retusned; ,and . so much presiesi was . he witlrhunger, that, iritip. out paying the least attention to anything thit'Was going on befotechis eyes, he, as usual, cried out from the very door-L.:" fat}); 4.bltift bbntsk ;" that is— " Come, wife, set my dinner befbre - me.”. The voice •of 'her huitiand fitted her mind with terror, and the came gut tittgiye him a pot-of water to Wash his feet; . and th en Co up the latnp. The carpenter took his seat upon the lower heals of the door, and i?ne gallant . seeing no other means left of making his escape but brea king - through the 'outside wail,..he in that manner effected iris retreat. The noise made upon this occasion escaped not the attention sof the carpenter, who, thus knowing the treachery'of his ife, discovered not the least'symp toms of anger, but, with the same tote' as before, told her, "Nah ami nur bhai kkabo Rohl amar born mutha dhoriacce ; chola gye cooya Maki l ." or, " I won't dine now; I have got a severe head -ache; let us gd to rest." They then went to bOd, and entered into a long conversation; and about midnight, seeing his wife wrapped in profound sleep, the carpenter ro e tip, and to satisfy the violent passion which he had hi therto supptessed, he cruelly thrust a knife into her throat, and thus at once. put an end to her days. The perpetration of chid criminal act gave rise to a variety of reflections in his mind, and he at last came to the conclusion that his own life must pay for the murder which he had committed. Very early next morning he locked the door of his house, and went to Callee Ghaut, where having offered a grand l'ajoo to the goddess Canoe, he came hack to the Kutcherry, at Allipoor, with a garland of Jova red flower) on his neck, and a spot if vermillion on the lot ehead, after they had been offered to the goddess. Upon his return, and finding the house totbe a sceue of great noise and tumult, he cried out, " What's all this clamour about?"—" How came your wife," re ,ined the Thanadar, "to be murdered?" At this joie_ - lihri.,no Doss candidly confessed his crime, saying, " It is I who have killed her; noone else; theiefore bind me."

Burgess added, that be had purchased the goods openly in Rosemary-lane, and sold them as openly at a fair profit. • The Comma :ding Officer said that Burgess had once before been charge d with a similar offence, and had escaped punish ment in cot sequence of his poverty. To permit such a person to escape a stcind time, would be an encouragement to the nu merous receivers in the neighbourhood. 'There was a penalty of ,e 5 upon every purchase of. soldiers necessaries, but it was dot his irteation to proaccute for that penalty. He was determined to prove:ate Burgess ai the receiver of stolen property. . Mr. Atter, who attended on the part of Burgeis, chewed that neither the charge of having knowingly received stoles goods, nor that of having purchased soldiers' necessaries could be sub stantiated. It would be proved that the coats were openly pur chased, and ev:::ence had been' already given, that at the con clusion of the three years they were no longer soldiers' necessa ries, but became disposable for the benefit of the soldiers. The Lotto bl.tros held this ohjection to be fatal to the prose cution of Burgess in either way. Burgess was then heard as a witness against the soldier. Allan, the other clothesman, Wai• dis charged, there being no imputation whatever upon his character. Burgess stated that the.soldier brought about 40 great coats, at different times, to him for sale, and gave him the most positive assurances that he becr.me. honestly possessed of them. Witness purchased them at 3s. a piece. The soldier said he had broUght them from Knightsbridge barracks. - The soldier declared that he had never sold a coat, nor stolen a coat, nor seen Burgess in his life. , tANsabeth Hughes, servant in the Crown and Shears, public ',Poise, Rosemary - late, swore that sh 4 saw the _soldier deatirg with Bbrgess in theiriariner described, :and that the forme: had frequently-sold coats in the lave. . • . .14urtin, the officer, stated. that upon searching the soldier's lodgings he found a bunch of skeleton keys, one.of which ui)invd the lock of the store-room in which the coats hadLheid - kept.
