" Jar letters from Lohargong, of the 14th inst. announce that the Pindarees have met with a severe check, but the success on our part has been sadly clouded by the lost of Captain Humphrey Howorth, of the 6th Native Cavalry. On the 11th Major All din marched from Lohatgong in permit of several bodies of Pinciatees, who had appeared in the vicinity if that place. On the second day'* march; at Poor- Raab, on the Sow river,' he unexpectedly, in the ravioli, tame up with a body of 4000.' Major Alldin had with him a squadron of the 4th Native Cavalry, ander Captain Fo. Ridge, with Captains Howarth sad Kennedy as volunteers, three companies of Na. tire Infantry, and two six-pounders. The attack vu instantly commenced. and about 300 of these freebooters were slain, but not without considerable loss oa our part. Besides the gallant Capt. Howorth, twelve troopers were killed. "Captain Howorth had come into Lohorgong froro Belharee on 'account of his health, but on the detach ment going in pursuit of the Pindarees, nothing could , induce him not to lend his assistance, though in the mutt wretched health. For two months he had been enable to - mount a home, but all was forgotten the moment the enemy approached. It appetite that in the pursuit he became so exhausted, as no longer to be able to keep up with the squadron, and had dis mounted at a well to take a little water. The squa dron had not gone 30(1 yards before a party of some twelve Pindarees dashed round the well from the brow of a hill, and he fell, under six spear wound*. They left his body, which was recovered and busied in the treeing, at Major Alldin's camp, at Mahewee. Forty kyles of the squadron bad been killed or disabled. Ma* Andin had been joined by two Russalahs of Reberts' horse, so that his force amounted to from 700 to SOO. His position was about,l4 mites S.W. Lohargong. Betwixt that place and -Belha, it is said, three or four bodies of Pindarees, of from • 2,000 to 4,000 each, are prowling about. " Colonel Gahan, with a squadrOh of the 6th Na 'v.' Cavalry, and two companies of infants', was at Lltiaree. and might probably have an opportunity of intercepting come of these hordes. The only force at 1,-.hargong consisted of about one hundred of the recovered rota of the Na;pore subsidiaiy force, under &Ljor Garner, and find it necessary to be constantly on the alert. All hands sleep on the parade at night. On the 18th they were joined by a Ruualah of (to• bens' horse. Nhe detachment at Lohargong, kw Nagpore, Would move as soon after the 15th as they might be enabled by the return of the force under They expected considerable annoy. mice from the Pindarees, as, hom having seven cum ! brill to carry with them, these gentlemen would, no doubt, conclude there was a ueasore lo a great amount. The weather had become severe—thermo mem- during the day seldom nailer 100. and in such 2yice the troops were often necessarily much ex• • Sea to the sun during their long and fatiguing . aches in pursuit of the Pindarees. " THE stin PRISONERS AT DERBY. NovemßEtt e. The criminals appeared in no respect meter; 411 , diffsvont from what they had pretiously been: When the Chaphist visited Turner and Ludlaas, he preen • ted the Litter with the honk which we have alrea 1% stated he wished to possess, in order to give it to hi. ion Baxter'. CAll to the Unconverted." Led lam received the little volume with expressions of thank illness, and said it tiros a book from which he had derived much benefit himself, and he lviped the eon for whonfhe intended it, and others of his la mily;would profit no less by it than he had done.— Two of bis sons, who were among those recently berated in consequence of the verdict of acquittal pronounced by the Jury. on the AVTORNIT GINZRAL declining to offkr evidence against them. came in the course of the morning to take their leave. He wet. corned .them with affectionate tenderness, and ear- nestly entreated them to be good to their unfortunate mother and the children about to be left destitute by his death. Several other relations and friends after- wards calk& on him. While in the prison, they all assisted him with their prayers ; and the energy of their appeals to the CREATOR and the REDEEMER of man was such as V,' make them heard almost all over the building. 'When they were gone he re peated the sentiment he had expressed on a former clay, upon a similar occasion, declaring the parting pang to have been" less severe than he had anticipated it would prove, and he seemed consoled with the re- Collection of having been indulged with this new op prirtunity of seeing those who were most dear to him. The manner of his death seemed frequently to fill him with unspeakable honor. He was sincerely penitent, but he appeared deficient in fortitude. By Degrees his mind became more tranquillized, and he took a just view of the crime for which he was about to suffer. Attempting to raise his thoughts to Heaven in prayer that afternoon, while•supplicating his MAKER to pardon his numerous sins, he extended his appeal to the Throne of Mercy, by imploring the GREAT thwart of all Evens, 4 4 to bless his native land—to incline the King to love his people—to make him beloved by them, and to save the nation from a recurrence of those commotions which had disturbed the public peace, and brought him td an untimely end." He represented himself to have become very feeble since he had been in confinement ; his health was certainly considerably impaired, and for some time he had appeared to be falling away. With re spect to his family some erroneous reports have gone forth to the world. He has had fourteen . children born to him, but of these seven only survive to mourn the ignominious exit of their father. Turner, in the course of this day was visited by several of his friends and relations. Like Ludlam, he was much wasted by imprisonment and sorrow. Anxious to make his present deplorable situation be: neicial to others, he undertook to write a letter to some of his relations, which he hoped to make the vehicle of wholesome salmonitiOn to them. The ef fort was in vain. In vain be attempted to collect his thoughts, and to commit them to paper in such a manner that they might be read with adv intage by others. Alter repeated endeavours to complete his task, he confessed it to be to) much for him, and isisbed his nephew to write in his place. He desired . that an affectionate letter might be written; one that would be read with pleasure by those fur whom he' dr signed it when he should be no more; and to such letter he expressed a wish to affix his signature. A letter was accordingly written ; but as no extraordi • nary interest can attach to suds a pedal - mance, how. ever moral and religious, not more immediately din netted with those who ere the subject of this article, it was unnecessary to procure a copy. He did not explicitly confess his offence against his country as Ludlam had done; but he did not hesitate to admit that his conduct had been wrong. Brandreth on this day exhibited a remarkable in. stance of fortitude. Few Wen in such circumstances have ever. appeared so perfectly composed. There was nothing of levity, or of vivacity in his conduct, to call for eeproot, but he was singularly tranquil, and be continued unshaken to the list. The Chaplain was astonished to find him thus serene. la his expo tiesce, be had never met with a man about to lay down his lite for offences so aggravated, and under circumstances so peculiarly tersitic, who could appear so little - distressed, and whose mind was so completely made up to meet death without dismay. In con verging .with the prisoner, he expressed surprize at finding him thus. Brandreth replied, that he felt himself sustained beyond expectation. He declared be bad no fear, and did not at all, shrink from the idea of mounting the scaffold. Upon this Mr. Pick ering said, gi he was apprehensive that that which made him so much at his eate, was a constitutional firmness of nerve, and not a fortitude springing from a study of the truth, and experience of the consols. dons of reli g ion." The convict rejoined, that it he were capable of judging of his own case, he could not hesitate to say, that the Reverend Gentleman was mistaken. All he had read of the Scriptures, and all he had beard in illustration of them, induced him to believe that he had a saving faith in him, and that the 'san guinity of his deportment, whit!' had been made the subject of remark, resulted from that faith, and not from any peculiarity of Constitution f The Chap lain then changing the subject of conversation, wished to obtain from him some particulars of his past lite. All inquiries of this nature, however, he still endea voured to elude. On their being pressed on him more closely, and the ptopriety of his satisfying them being enforced by the remark that it might be highly beneficial to others, to know by what means he had been led from the paths of honesty and peace. to engage in those courses for. which lie was about to suffer, be reputed, it was his determination to say ao more than ht . had already said on these topics.-- He refused even to tell who an I what his parents had been. Any thing that mil s bt transpire respecting. his former situation in life must be obtained from his wife; he would communicate nothing; and he hoped such questions would not be put to him again! The Minister nut endeavoured to impress him with a due sense of the guilt be bad incurred in shed ding the blood of a fellow creature. Oil this subject at least, he suggesMd, a full confession ought to be made. Brandreth was bete as impenetrable as ever. He had endeavoured to make his peace with Goa, and he did not see that it was necessary to make an, statement fa the satisfaction of Map. TO him hsp; aeared this .svis a queitlon wholly between the At.- swum and his own soul, and now that hi was about he'snatelied from earth, he cherished a confident lope-that an atm of vengeance would net be inter ',vied between him and HEAVEN. He tepeated the federation that he had no reluctance to mount the scaffold, and felt nn dread of the morrow ! in the even ing, when he wa s a g a in visited by the Chaplain, his manner and his language were the sone, and no trace of emotion or fear could be discovered. During his confinement he trace said, that but for Mr. Oliver he should never have been there. He was pressed tti explain these words, but ref used to do so, and he never repeated the assertion, nor even mentioned the name of Mr. Oliver again. The anperatus used on all ordinary occasions at Derby thnugh called the New Drop, is in truth on the principle of the Old Drop, which, at Newgate, first supplanted the practice of executing criminals from a cart. It is not brought out on wheels, like the machine seen so frequently in front of the Deb tor's door in the Old Bailey, but takes all to pieces, and is kept in a building at the back of the prison. To put it together is generally the work of many hours. In order effectually to guard against the awful business of the day being protracted caasiderably be yond the usual time of execution, it because necessary that. the men employed to erect the gallows should commence their labours before day-light. At a very early hour yesterday morning, they accordingly en teted upon their t isk, and having removed the parts of the drop from the place where they are deposited, to the fatal spot on which the culprits are destined to expiate their treasons, they proceeded to arrange, and unite the several parts under the superintendence of Mr. Finney, the Town Joiner, doable the usual num ber of hands were employed. During the whole of the morning numerous spectators were attracted to witness the progress of the workmen in the business they had taken dpon themselves to perform. Between nine and ten o'clock thlir labours approached their termination. and the whole of the apparatus appeared in so complete a state of readiness that the sentences pronounced against the culprits might have been car ried into effect almost at a moment's notice. THE EXMUTION. DERBY, NOVEMBER 7. memos OF JEREMIAH BRAD:DEEM, WILLIAM Tuft- NM I AND ISAAC LUDLAM, FOR HIGH TREASObi. This moraing Ludlam and Turner (coked shocking wan and spiritless. They had watched the whole night in prayer and psalm-singing. At nine the Chaplain visited them, and assisted them in their de amnions. They afterwards continued to pray aloud till the moment of immediate preparation arrived. Their expressions were always the same :—" 0 Lord, have mercy 1" " 0 Lotd, save my soul 1" "If I OR on a bad foundation, upon a sandy foundation, O Lord, take it now away, and set me upon the rock 1" " 0 pardon all my sins for the sake of thy San, who died once for all maekind 1 " 0 Lord, come now with thy strength, and support my soul 1" While the one fervently uttered these expressions, the other kept answering " Amen." Then the other pok up the prayer, and was accompanied in the manner by his companion. Their voices were dejected in the extreme. Brandreth slept as usual, rose in good spirits, and sheaved no sign of depondency or fear. From an early hour in the morning the scaffolding and drop were erecting in front of the gaol, and a considerable number of persons were collected in the street quietly looking on, and listening with vitible alarm to each sad note of preparation. At half-past ten all the prisoners went to the Cha pel. Ludlam and Turner looked like walking spectres. Brandreth stept forward firmly. All the other priso ners appeared to feel much sympathy. At the same moment the crowd without felt sonic trepidation on seeing the horse led into • the gaol that was to draw the hurdle along the yard. At balf.past eliven all the prisoners, excepting the thret men to be executed, and George Weightman left the Chapel. All held their handkerthiefs to their eyes, and sobbed deeply. Shortly after they had come into the yard, William Turner's brother, Ed ward, shrieked horribly's and was carried into a..coom by two men. The Chaplain then administered the sacrament to the four convicts. At twelve precisely, Mr. Simpson, the tinder She. riff, appeared with a few javelin nun, and a consi derable nuMber of special constables. Th.. pi isoners then descended from the chapel to the room which Brandreth and Wcightman had occupied. Here their irons were knocked off. Turner and Ludlam kept praying all the while. When Lndlam's chains were knocking off, he exclaimed, " 0 Loan Jesus. thou art tender-hearted, 0 be now my portion 1" At* quarter past twelve the hurdle was drawn up at the door of this room. It was a very simple ma chine, formed of a few boards nailed upon two long beams. Brandreth came out first, and, while placing himself on the hurdle, said, " Some one hold me, lest I fall off." A man held him while the horse was driven slowly round the yard. He nodded to the several prisbners as he passed along. William Turner was next drawn on the hurdle.— When he came close by the other prisoners, they all, screamed and wept most bitterly. When Isaac Luel:' lam ' , was placed on the hurdle, ,he.clasped his hands and raised a fervent look towatds Heaven. The pri soners cried out still more bitterly. Turner and Ludlam kept their eyei shut while on the hurdle.— Brandreth and Turner were kept in a narrow passage of the gaol till Ludlam joined them. He, seeing, lam stand there, asked if be might not walk there. for a little? Turning is the Chaplain, lie eaid— " You remember what I mentioned to yen," (we believe something relating to his familN. They then proemded.immediately in the same order to the scaf fold.

He stood resolute and silent while executioner adjusted the rope reund his neck. Turner came out nest, and adtianced with onus: firmness of step. While the esoc;:tioner was putti the rare round his neck, he el.:lA.:tett loudly a k distinctly—" This is all Oliver and ti:e Gofernmer, r. The Chaplain at this moment came in Isnot of tl. e.7.'e two, and prevented any briber cbservati•ms. Isaac Ludlam came out last, and when the t , was applied to his neck, c!evoutly said—" I recei this at the hand of the Loon :" then raising his to a louder pitch, he praytd thus a—" 0 may m soul now tower up to glory. 0 may I now go whey Angels and Saints worship Titre. May I meet 'hi great concourse of people in Heaven. 0 Lotto, pray for high and low, rich and poor, bmid and Irk' May this awful dispensation of Thy ptuvideuce I sanctified !"

He held a black silk bandit( (the same which he had worn at the trial, and wkicl had jast been taken prom his neck) in his claarei 4 hands while at their last devotions. This he held , eit'' icily in the same manner after life forsook his frame,' He dropped quite still, and seemed dead at once.-=• His beard, which remained untouched, looked reit frightful from underneath the white cap that wli drawn off I:is face. Turner, too, seemed suflicienti firm in his last moments, and died quietly. Ludkr.7l while praying, immediately before the drop fell, W, visibly agitated, and seemed to die with much pi: for he was repeatedly convulsed after he had bee , thrown off. The drop fell a quarter before one, and at a qit: ter past one they were cut down. Their coffins w , piled upon the scaffold. The block, a long piece timber, supported at each end by pieces of a high, and having a small cog laid across the up end of it, on %hid) the neck of the body was tt placed, was placed at the other extremity of the s: fold. Two axes and two knives, with blick hint were at the same time exhibited. Some sawdust then strewed on the scaffold. The crowd, con: rattly more than (000 persons, kept torther all time. Drandreth's body was then laid upon block, with the face downwards, and Oe head wards the street, in the full view of the p-opk ; scaffald nut being more than ten feet trots she grut The executioner raited the and. at-ock at neck with all his force. tlt tlatt initant there w burst of bcrr ,, r from the c f .-0":.

Hitherto the nrilti , ude had been quiet and mo tionless. The instant the head was exhibited, there was a tremendous striek set up, and they ran yip. I,ntly in all directions, as if under *the impulse sudden phrenzy. Those th.:t resumed their stations greened and hooted. The javelin men and constables were all in motion, and a few dragoons, who had been stationed at both ends of the street, drew nearer with drawn swords. But. all became imme. diateiy calm. Very few of the immense multitude now remained, and these looked quietly on while the heists of Turzer and Ludlam were successively exhi bited in the same way. The heads and bodies were then thrown into the coffins, and all the spectators dispersed. Fox Heter.—On Saturday last the Union F.:- hounds threw off at Payne's Hill, near Claremont, before a numerous field. After a very excellent run the fox made thrugh Mr. Viotait's ground, at Esher, ard put a filCk of turkeys completely to the route; he then retraced his steps towards Mr. Set can's park, over the high paling of which he sprung with extraordinary agility, and, aster a run of two • hours, Reynard escaped from his pursuers, near Di'. ton Marsh. Anether lex was then statted en Prince Connuee's estate, and alter a spirited run of one hour was killed within view of her Royal Highness the Duchess of YGIIK. The sportsmen then returned t Esher, where they dined, and then departed, highly delighted with their day's amusen ere. As the Gentlemen of Colonel Bitexeute's Hunt were returning from the Omer, on Mouday lam, t h ey observed at °w.f.:swell-hill, a young woman appa rently in great pain,reclining on the side of the road. Mr. Womaset.t. immediately rode up, and on ad dressing her tuund she was unexpectedly taken in labour. The spertsmen instantly collected round her, and she. became a mother before she COPtii be t a removed to a neighbouting cottage. She was e t deft refused admission by the old woman who inhabited j it. Colonel Breezes:if then proposed a general sub scription of the Mt mbers of the k-hint, which was er a_ lected by Captain Jemmies. This complAely re moved the old woman's scruples; the raw sugerer was pnt safe to bed, and medical assist Ace tam atter sent to the cottage by the benevolent Sportsmen. An Ingnisition was taken at the Penitentiary, on Milbank, Westminster, on the tamely of Mary Welt, who was convicted at the Cld-Bailey Sessions (as the of Janwry, ISllir for stealing a , ilk-handiter. , chict from the person of a Mr. PARKeII. She. died on Tuesday twining. She was the only person con need in the rison that had been afflicted within these few weeks of a typhus fever.
