A,VERICAN PAPERS. By the ship Franklin arrived from Calcutta, papers iv the : 3 .lst of April have arrived:— BONN tr, 11 axcia 18.--Sir John Malcolm, With that liberality of sentiment and zeal for the diffusion of knowledge, for which he bas ever been distinguished, has transmitted to Britain, much of our recent acqui sition of geographical treasure. The military routes, which will accirepany Col. oare,,tivo pi' the last war, a work so Impatiently expected by military readers, will tend much to elucidate the geography of moral India. Actaated lw the same spirit, the Madras government has directed a small detachment of Sepoys, under two intelligent European officers, to pene•rate the Eastern Gbauts, ne.trly in the latitude of Canlipatam. An outlet will be thus afforded to the produce of the Tab'e Laud --cotton, and other bulk• articles of the commerce, hitherto transmitted from the interior of Rombay, will find a hearer and a ready market on the eastern shores of the l'emnsula--and receive iu ex change the salt and fish, &c. of the coast.

The following was t • 1 * .ne worth mit& it lir TI This was an a r. inner, Iminglit to rero r Po- value of a tru and its contents, left in the of the defendant, who is the landlady of the II ack Iltirse pnhlie-hous., in Alderrgatc-street. Mr. into, opened the case : Mr. Sergeant Pill stated it to the Jury. David Hood, a young boy, the son of the stated, that in November last be arrived f licit ford, by the waggon, bringing with hint a trunk and some parcels belonging to his father. Ife stopped at the Three Cups-inn, where his father met him, and from whence the trunk in question was conveyed by a porter to the defendant's house. Witness and his father went with it. They there saw the niece of the defendant, and left the trunk in her rare. One shil ling and sixpence was to be paid for the carriage, and tire niece said that twopence was to Le paid for nare housing it. To this the plaintiff agreed, observing that be did not care about that, as it would be taken better care of. lie told her not to deliver tl.e trunk until he or his son should come for it, and he went into the street to look at the Louse, in order that he might know it again. Witness came next morning, and, on inquiring for the trunk, was told, that a man had called for it all, nt 20 minutes after it was left, who described the witness and his father, and having paid the Is. Sd., got the trunk. On his crosr-examination by Mr. Serjesnt he said that his father had nut left his name, nor where he lived. John Hood, another son of the defendant, proved thit the trunk contained some wearing apparel, and a quantity of tnols, belonging to his father, nlowe trade wits that of an ornamental painter. The value of she tejeole might be about 10/..

He was pe:sent when the plaintiff left it wi•li the defendant's nitre. It Was witness, and not the niece, who mentioned that two-pence was le be paid for warehousing. Plaintiff said (bathe could pay then ; bat he would not until be ma Om Kat they would then not scruple loftier/ Mm hats Witness did not hear the plaintiff say that the trunk was not to be given unless he or his sou came. If he had said so, he must hare beard him. He said be would send for it presently, or by-and-by. Did not see the son go oat of the house to MAI at it. In his cross-examinatioa, he *ld he would not swear that the boy had not gone out of the house to look at it. • • ' This witness was recalled, and 'seiumined by See grant Pavan %N. He said that he bail beard the plain tiff declare that the trunk was nocstorth more than V. ter 3!. but that he could net tell the loss which the papers it contained were. Mrs. Baker was the niece of the defendant, and the har-tuaid at the time of this transaction. She (two !wawa the testimony of nankin ; and in her eross examination said that hers was not a hooking-how ; hut that sometimes parcels were left there, for which she was paid, hut it was at the option of the parties to do so, and not usual. The LORI) UlltEr said, that the question entirely depended upon the credit tint the Jury might give to the is itnesses on either side. l'nolouhtedly eu one side or other th►re must hate been perjury. In or der to find a verdict fur the defendant, they son 4 be litre nut only that the boy Hood was perjured, but that he was suborned by his father fur the purpose of committing a fraud. That certainly was a hard thing to believe, that it was difficult to suppose that a fa ther would induce his own child to coutmit so heinous an offence. However, his evidence in this case was most positively contradicted by two witnesses. The Jury would decide upon the credit due to both parties. and he would ire them no intimation as to the im pression on his mind, but least it entirely to them selves. The Juicy, after rontulting together fin some time, returned a verdict for the defendant.

"Tata Palm-nes or COVIIIRLAND."—In the midst of the ordinary baldness of the public office, Bow street; yesterday morning, a very handsome equipage bearing the Royal Coronet os the patinas, over the initials O. C., dm , ' up to the deer, and a gentleman alighted front it, who requested to see the Magistrate immediately. He was uccordlogly introduced to Mr. Birnie, and he then stated that he attended on behalf of " the Princess of Cumberland," ender the follow ing circumstances :—On Monday night last, as " her Royal Highness" was at her toilet, in her house, Alfred-place, Store-street, a pistol, loaded with hall, was fired at her, and the ball passing through this window, about ten or twelve inches above her head, was picked up in the room by her waiting woman.— The gentleman added, that " her Royal Highness" having been much alarmed by the circumstance, was at the present moment confined to her house by indis position ; and being very desirous of making a depo sition of the &al, it was her particular request to the Magistrate that he would visit her at her house fur that purpose, her carriage being then in uniting there. _ -..--. Mr. Btaxts, In the first place, despatched a police officer to inspect the premises ; and he having re turned, and stated his opinion that a pistol ball hail evidently p. rforated the window as described by th:. gentleman, Mr. Itirnie went in the carriage, and waited upon " her Royal highness" as requested. We understand the ball was not found by the wait ing woman till the following morning. It was a very small ball, and was manifestly almost spent when it sit uck the window. We are not aware of the con tents of " her Royal Highness's" deposition, but it was stated by the gentleman that her object in maliing it was, that a reward might be offered for the disco. very of the ruffian who fired the pistol. Ile stated also that " her Royal Highness" was not aware of any ' individual who could have the most distant motive fur acting so maliciously. lxramocs AVIAIR.-A few days ago Major M.-11, and another gentleman, called upon sir. liirnie, at the Public Office, Bow -street, fur the purpose of asking Isis advice upon the following asystetious and disgraceful occurrence:— They stated, that a beautiful girl, of sixteen years of a,. ; e only, the daughter of a widow lady, resnlinz at Ileums Terrace, Chelsea, had been scoured from her home a:td parents by an old gentleman, upwards of sixty. It appeared that this hoary deb .uebee had been layi• g :indefatigably siege to the unfortunate and infatuated girl for some time past. She tilts in the habit of frequently walking out with her little brother, and at such times this man invariably placed himself in her tray. It further appeared that at these interviews he represented himself to her as one of the Peers of Parliament, and he talked of atteutliug Ida duty there on the trial of the Queen ! At length the miserable girl consented to abscond with him, and nothing had since been beard of them. Inquiry, they' added, had been made at the House of Lords, but nut one of the Peers was found to answer the description of his person. The Worthy Magistrate immediately WA measures! for the discovery of the fugitives, an d . it has, in con sequence of those measures, been Iscerrained that the seducer is a Baronet, and Member of Parliament for a Borongls in a western county. He is moreover a mar.itei inert ; and, though upwards of three store years old himself, his wife is not more than twenty. We are fully aware of his name, but we judge it right if to nit's! it at present. I: see that he carried his prey to Scotland ; brit, at the i nee of the Worthy Magistrate above-men tioned, rit of Hake.

DARING ROBIRRT AND ATTACK ON THE POLICL—A few evenings hark, as Henry Knabschurch, porter to Mr. Patience, of lierutonilserstreet, distiller, was pro eersliug along the London-road with a truck laden with three casks of cloves, directed to Mr. Morris, landlord of the Alfred's head, in that place; a number of ill looking men followed him, and several times attempt ed in the most barefaced and impudent manner to carry off one of the casks, (each of which, wills the contents was worth 4L 10.); but were each time disap pointed by the unexpected appearances of passengers. Phe villaius, uevertiteless, followed the young matt, until lie arrived at the place of his destination, when they all surrounded the track, cut the ropes, and one of them throning a cask of the liquor on his shoulder, ran across the fields towards Dover -street, followed by the rest of his companions. Ike porter and a labouring man named Woods, pursued then., and those were pre sently afterwards reinforced by Kinsey and Heron, two coostables; but the thieves so far from attempting to escape, threw down the liquor, armed themselves with large stones, and forming a circle round their booty, showed a strung disposition to make a powerful resist! sore. The constables drew their swords for the purpose of intimidating them, anti with their assistance advanced courageously on the compact body before them; the ply assailed with a volley of stones which • of them to the p ffrouttil, and although they an, such was the numbers of their oppo the firmness of the system on which they ,icy could nuke no impression on their im front, which the thieves perceiving, were 'o tire them out. At !coatis Woods rushed 1, of them, hut was attacked instantly in 4 way, that apprehending Isis life was ill ailed to Kinsey to fire, which the latter igt litl, anti wonnaed one man. This did not to disperse; the officers tired again; they l into Dover-street, bearing otf time it minded cox the principal ringleader whose name he 'sands of the officers, as also the stolen property.
