Ile also asked for some definite explanation of our wishes. To this I acceded, adding, that lie was authorised to say to the Phokuns, that if they decided on making terms of alliance with us, I was ready to meet them; if on fighting, I was equally ready and It' they wished to retire out of Assam into their own country, I was willing to permit them to do so,, provided that they took the directnt route, committed no ravages on the road, and carried away none of the iohabitants now in their possesslens, by coin puision. To this latter alternative I was affluent, by finding noel the (Moro, the Impracticability of a plan proposed by me to separate the two factions by etimitting the friendly disposed portion to the benefit of terms, provided, they would come over and abandon the others to their fate in a continuance of hostilities with us. This he declare-1 impossible , slice the latter consider. ably preponderate in strength over the formai. though hearted by the cloefs, and that thlghtest suspicion of such an inclination would email bloodaht 4 ya 4llld destruction, not only on their families Lire but in their own country. I was also compelled reluctantly to reflect on, the total want of means in my power to prevent their pesos, or to pursue them, in which ease MI hope of rescuing the captive Anomie inhabitants must have been übandoned• It was at the nano time clearly pointed our to the Phokuns, and under stood by them, that any .act of plunder or aggression committed by the retiring party in progress through Assam, or in the ter. I/ 313Siell Of out allies would be tantamount to an infringement of engagement, and again draw down on them our arms. The following morning the Gooroo returned, accompanied by two inferior Photons. (the Brother of Saum Phokun and liathee Plsokuu) with a friendly offering, and a letter frem the Chiefs, of which No. 3 is a translation. After much desultory conversation the oooroo returned with my reply, and an exchange of presents. On the following rnarni . og a message was brought from the Gooroo by his brother, !Limn Pal, stating that, in eotnpliance vial my tem*, one portion was preparing to evacuate the fort for their own, country, and that the remainder were ready to surrender ; alto that the Chiefs were anxious to wait on me to adjust the sari. ous points of capitulation. , I accordingly invited them to a conference and directed the officers of my staff to proceed to meet theist and conduct then to me. The twin* Chiefs Seam Phokun, Shriek Photon, and Ns barna Phokun, (Banglee Phokun having joined the oilier party and quitted the Fort) having been introduced, we proceeded to arrange the terms of treaty, of which the principal are as fel lows:— lin the part of Saum Phokun, &e. that all his followers should delavesup their seals and warlike stern of all descriptions; and that possession of the Fort be given to us, the moment the evacuating party should hare quitted it. On our part, that their wives and personal property should be guaranteed ; their wives and children and all who may be voluntarily attached to theau.secured to them, in conformity with instructions from Mr. Scott, that they should remain in every respect : * .n their present situation anal the arrival of Mr. Scott, or instruc tions front him respecting their ultimate destination; and that Having once entered into the bonds of friendly alliance with us they nhall not eventually be delivered over to the King of Ara in use of a peace, should he make such a stipulation, of which they entertained great dread, end were matt anxious to receive posi tive assurances. These points being settled, the Chiefs expressed their willingness to surrender without delay, and I accordingly directed Major Waters to take a party and receive charge, when I had soon the satisfaction of seeing his Majesty's colours flying on the top of the Palace in the inner Fort, under a salute from the battery in The.tamp examination of th4Port fully justified the opinion I had formed of the importance of the aemusition by the mode adopted, and of the utter inadequacy of my means of preventing the escape of the greater part of the garrison, should we have proceeded to the assault. The place is of very great extent, and surrounded by deep swamps and jungle, with a ditch; the sorties to three gates were strongly defended ; and on them and the walls were mote than 100 pieces of ordnance, ready for service. The garrison was reported to consist of ten thousand of all classes, of whom perhaps oue.third were fizhting men, of these sevcu hun dred have surrendered with the Phokuns. I hare the honour to submit a return of the ordnance, arms, end military stores captured. By the acquisition of IRnngpre, I may now consider myself in entire possession of Assam, and it is a source of great self-gra tulation to me, that that important point has been accomplished with so little loss on our side, considering the means of annoyance possessed by die enemy, in defending a country peculiarly unfit vovinble to regular militant/ operations. My total dependence for supplies in the fleet, which is 21 miles distent (at the mouth of Diklio River, now not navigable) would tine rendered it impossible for me to proceed further, under any cxuenstances, until the arrival of hand carriage front the prosiness, and I therefore eotudder the prospect of peaceable evacuation of the • remaining portion of the country, an an object pined of the most vied importance, while the posse ssion of the capital recutes the tee to all paints from libelee any future irruptions may he at tempted from the eastwatd.

TWELFTH 01' JULY. f from the Dublin Frerman's Journal of Friday, July MI We are sorry to hart, that the commendable deference to the declared wish of the Government, and the express law of the land, which marked the conduct of the Orange men of the metropolis (with an exception or two, too trifling and contemptible to call for serious notice), was not preva lent in the provincial seats of Orangcism. The subjoined letter come► front a highly respectable quarter; and the ex tracts from country papers, which follow it, prove that the feeling a: Enniskillen is not an isolated one : ET:NM ILLEH, JCL', 12. It would seem that Fermanagh is to be the last place in Ireland that will cease to sound the war-whoop of party discord. This morning, in contempt of the late Act of parliament, the (Lange orgies were celebrated as usual. I lAt so early an hour as three o'clock, a.m., several hundred Orangemen walked in procession through the town of En- niskillen, relating the air with riotous shouts, to the terror I of the. Roman Catholic inhabitants ; a band of amateurs playing all the classic airs and party tunes during their tirogress. A triumphal arch was erected at the east end of the town, festooned with wreaths of Orange lilies, ribands, &c.; Orange flags were hoisted on the spires of the church and market-house ; and what was more sur prising, persons holding employments under Government signalised themselves most on this unlawful occasion. On pt. John's day the Earl of Enniskillen, thought it his duty, as Governor of the County, to preserve the peace, by preventing the assembling of the Freemasons, and for that purpose went from Florence-court to Irvinestown. On the itth of July the Earl of Enniskillen temained at home, and suffered the Roman Catholic inhabitants of the town, whence lie takes his title, to be thus insulted, and the statute-law of tho land to be transgressed with impunity. if this be not favouritism, what is it? At our late Sessions an Attorney (D. Auchenlcck, Esq.) told the Assistant Barrister that the town of Enniskillen was in fested with Magistrates. On this day the Orange rabble have no reason to complain of these Magistrates doing their [From the Be(fltst Chronicle, July 13.1 Throughout the s hole of yesterday, this town and neigh bourhood were kept in a state of commotion, from the at tempts of a few of the very dregs of the community, tc outrage the laws, brave the authority of the Magistracy, and endanger the public .peace, by celebrating in public procession the anniversary of the battle of the Boyne, and this in opposition to the earnest recommendation of the most respectable and influential of the Orange Body. The morning was ushered in by the firing of gulls, sus pending wreaths of Orange flowers across the roads, in Bally macarret t, &c. and a very shabby muster of tatterred Orange paraphernalia. To designate the individuals so employed by the name of party, would be an abuse of the term. They seemed the very tag-rag-and-bob-tail of an unprincipled crew, ready for any deed of turmoil and mischief. How they were intrusted by any Lodge, or any pawnbroker in town, with the scanty emblems of faction and division which they displayed, is a question of difficult solution., Early in the day notice having been communicated to our very active Police Magistrate, Mr. Ferrar, of an Orange procession being about to form in Smithfield, he, accom panied by a posse of peace-officers, repaired instantly to the spot, and by every means of persuasion and threatening, endeavoured to prevent the fulfilment of the unlawful design ; but we are sorry to say he waa, in return, assailed' by every species of contumely and abuse. The Magistrate then very properly ordered a banner to be seized, which was promptly accomplished; but we understand it was' afterwards audaciously wrested from a constable by one of the Orange gang. This effort to preserve the peace having proved somewhat abortive,- a small number (we believe the fragments of four lodges) marched off toward Carrickfergus, and returned, the principal part of them, in a state of beastly intoxication. They staggered about, the streets, shouting the opprobrious epithets of party, amid the taunts, jeers, kickings, and beatings of an opposite crew, as idle and reckless as themselves. Sc-: veral encounters, assuming, at times, a very threatening' aspect, occurred from this period throughout the evening. The streets and avenues surrounding Smithfield constiteted the principal places of mischievous resort. Here stones and brick-bats were kept flying bet Ween the contending disorderlics, during which one man received a severe blow from a stone on the bead; and it having been known that an Orange lodge had assembled in the house of one M`Clure, a publican, the opposing mob hastened thither, and commenced an assault on the doors and windows of the house, which they did not leave until they were shi vered to atoms. During the riot, a party of 'Orangemen sallied from M'Clure's, armed with swords and other dan gerous weapons, and cut ant! abused all who were within their reach. On the appearance of a number of the police, supported by a strong party of military, the disturbance immediately ceased, and several persona charged with being principal offmders, of both parties, were taken into custody. It has been stated that several shots were fired by the Orange party, and that one man was desperstely wounded by the wadding of the musket. Bad it not been t'or the timely interference of the police and military, we are as sured the consequences might have heel' very serious. 'From the Carlo-. Meriting Post, July 14.1 At an early hour on Tuesday morning, Orange lilies were seen sprouting from the leaves of au evergreen, planted upon the parish church-top here. The association of colours we admire of all things ; but the miracle by which the sapling threw out the Otange flowers in the night was the cause of wonder to all but the initiated. However, there they were. The nosegay had no doubt been moistened ov er - n i g h t by some drops of the Boyne water, which freshened their t awn ey an d asp i r i ng g l or i es to th e eves of some hundred spectators. These men had come to obtain justice at our Assizes, owning the mastery of the law of the land. But the symbol of party, and privi lege, and triumph, and degradation frowns upon them from the church-top. Insulted and humiliated they stared with indignation, but retired with disgust, as did several worthy Protestants around us. Is the house of prayer, and of charity, and of moral exhortation, to be thus made the brazen bul wail( of intolerance ? We ourselves were sickened at this display of bad taste; and seriously alarmed at the consequences that might fol low, until these miserable flowers were plucked away. We could name tile shirtless raggamutlins, the scum and lees of the very motley gang that have thus endangered the tranquillity of the town, by stirring up the natural irrita bility of our people, and we call upon the churchwardens to sift out, detect, and punish the culprit delinquency of the man whose key admitted tee daring ruttians through the church to its roof. AMERICAN MURDER. VAIIWAY (N. J.), it:NE On Monday, the sth instant, Mr. Nathaniel Bloomfield, of New Dover, about three miles from this place, was killed by Enock Martin, a neighbour, with a club. Some of the I circumstances attending this horrid tratt.art!on arc as ful lows :—The deceased went to the house of Martin about', Iten o'clock in the morning, and they soon after both went for a quart of rum, which they obtained, and returned to the house of Martin, where they drank it. Not satisfied, they obtained a second quart, but before they had finished this, an altercation took place between Martin and his wife, in which they both evinced considerable passion ; Martin clenched a club, which be had previously placed in the room, and from appearance was about to strike his wife, when the declaimed stepped beta yen them, and received the fatal blow on his temple, which terminated his existence on the 6th. two days after. The inhuman wretch struck him two or three blows ; and on his wife's crying murder, he immediately locked himself up in an adjoining room, from which he soon returned, and endeavoured to trash hiahands in the Lard of the deceased, which had beer. shed on the floor. An inquest sat on the body of the deceased, and re turned a verdict of Wry/it Murder. The villain has made his escape, and no efforts hat•: as ,jet been mate to arrest him. LAY? n'TELIGENCE. COURT OF CIIANCERY. YESTZIDAY. Ise the case of the Attorney. General v. the Skinners' Company, :Or. Haire stated to the Comt, that the parties hail agreed on the questions in dispute, and were then pre; seed to submit to his Lord ship their ease as it stood, with a view to his directing such pro ceedings as would be agreeable to the practice of the Court. HEALD suggested that his Lordship had on a previous day i thrown out some doubt as to jurisdiction in the case. The Loup Chaise ELLOII replied, that he hail not then used the word jurisdiction in an accurate sense. He thought there was no tu cessity to apply for the sanction of the Court to any measure of which the Shinners' Company agreed with the College of All Souls. The Court would then consent that the plan respecting a school which had been submitted, should be carried into elect, with the advice of the College of All Souls; that though others be sides the Muntlationers tnight be educated there, it should not be at the expense of the Charity ; and further, that when the number of scholars amounted to, or exceeded thirty, the Skinners' Company might appoint an assistapt master, or rather might unite with the College of AU Souls iu dosisiering the expediency of such a mea. sure; but that when theentunber amounted to or exceeded forty, that then it would be imperative on the Company, with the advice of the College, to appoint an additional master. ELEPHANT AND CASTLE CHARITY. The LOUD eItANCILLLOIR observed, that in thisame there ap peered to be 'tome difference of opinion between the Court and the liar, as to what the decision should be. The first application had been by petition, which was extremely simple in its nature. It prayed that under the Statute, commonly called the Sir Samuel ltomilly's Act, a proper distribution should be made of the Charity. The qut , 'on had beer, referred to a Master, who certified that the estate, from producing only .51. a year, had so far been im proved and augmented in value, that it was at the present moment worth 6251. annually ; and it had been further ascertained, that there was 3 balance of 6941. in the hands of the Trustee. The Meter bad further certified, that no less than seven different schemes had been submitted to biro by the surviving Trustee, one of which was fur the payment of annuities of 101. each to forty-five persons in reduced circumstances, who had borne good. characters, and had been residents of the parish for seven years or upwards— householders, having paid rates and taxes Under that plan various annuitants had been appointed, and if he merely considered his own gratification, he would pass in silence, and as far as pos sible throw a veil over the manner of those appointments, and the circumstances by which they had been attended, for he considered it much better to prevent the future misapplication of' charitable funds, than to excite painful feelings, by a recurrence to what had passed away, and could not now be undone. In the decrees of that Court it had never been the habit to destroy the means of life which had been created for individuals, by withdrawing front them funds of which they had been put in possession useless them ap peared to be a strong and overpowering reason for pursuing such a course. The present case wee not, he thought, one which required such a violence to existing intermit. He, therefore, dead no objec tion to consent that the annuitants at present deriving incomes should have their means of life untouched. Whether the on appointment of those annuitants was right or wrong he could not then undertake to determine, but he did not wish to destroy per. baps the sole iodependance ofany set of individuals, if lie could preserve it to them consistently with those rules by which, sitting there, he was necessarily governed. A further appropriation of this fund would be the grant of a suns of 1001. annually to the Rector and churchwardens of the perish, for the use of the united national schools of the parish of Newins, , ton, to be applied towards the clothing of fill boys and 49 girls, whose parents reside within that pariah. That was an appropriation of the funds which could not fail to be considered as strictly for the benefit of the poor. Of the expenditure of the money so to be applied the Treasurer would be expected to render an account to the Trustees, in writing, with the names of the children for whose uses it was so laid out. It was further proposed that if there were not a sufficiency of children at the school, or that no such schools continued in existence, then the.R:ctor and Churchwardens should come, to that Court for directions how to apply the fund so provided. It was finally pro. posed that the residue of the money should be laid out by the Rector and Churchwanlens of that parish, for theaise of the poor, its such manner as they thought fit. Af:er sonic further observe. pions on those funds, and the application of them, his Lordship proceeded to say that the matter had twice been brought before the Vice-Chancellor, and likewise referred to the Master, who' having reported thereon, was directed to re-consider his Report; and he having done so, amended his report, chiefly by recommend. ing that those at present receiving annuities should be continued in possession of them ; but that the.appointment should not be exercised as heretofore, namely, by the Churchwardens and Overseers. This brought them back to the original autho day, the trust-deed, and the question whether or not that Court had jurisdiction to interfere. The mere of appointing those annuitants in the manner recently exercised had been a great cause of struggle among contending parties in that parish, but at present both seemed agreed that the annuitants now its possession should remain undisturbed. lie certainly did not think there should be no annuitants, but whether the nbolition would produce less contest than had hitherto existed in the parish was a matter which lie could not allow to influence him, being bound by strict roles, from which he could not conscitntiouslytswerve ; at the genie time that he could not doubt that those contentions were fostered and fed by the power which the Churchwardens bad in disposing of those annuities. Probably at the original institution of the charity, the appointment went on quietly enough, but since the great in crease in the value of the property, and since the altered mode of appointing the overseers, the inconvenience and evil so justly con. planed of had in all likelihood arisen. When 6001. a year was•to be given away, heats and contentions naturally arose. At the time the charity originated, the Overseers were appointed by two Ma &trate., it thence followed that the four individuals coo. ternplated by the author of the charity, were not those nn whom. the trust devolved, because the Overseers were in these times dif. ferently appointed. Possibly there would be very little of coniro verse (to use the mildest term) if matters had remained in the condition which had been originally couterupleted by the author of the charity, and he earnestly wished that the patties would seriously consider whether they would settle the matters in dispute soars to prevent further litigation and a waste of the funds of the charity in a needless expense. 0;ls the case stood, the Covet was bound to pro vide fur the due execution of the intentions of the donor, and to provide, as far as it could be accomplished, a sufficient check upon the Churchwardens in the application of those funds. The Over. seers, as at present appointed, were no check, and they ',Meg such trustees as the author never intended, it authorised that Court to interfere. It was incontestible that the Churchwardens had not associated with them in the distribution of that charity; such Over seers as had been originally intended, and for that reason he thought the case came fully within Sir dainuel Romilly's Act. Ile felt hound to do all that in him lay to prevent expense. If the autho rity created by the deed of 1658 no longer existed, he had no he. sitation in saying the trust then rested in the Court. He thought it scarcely necessary to say, that in deciding such aquestion he could have no inelituttions of his own to gratify-410 party to fitydur. ills only wish could be that the funds should be appropriated to the purposes which theauthor of the charity contemplated, and at the same time to use his utmost endeavours to prevent one shilling from being neediest/ v expended. If he foe nd that he could decide the eves tion upon petition, lie would do so; but he would not deprive either party of an opportunity of stating his ni.inion as to the best midi, et dispoing of the charity, provided that opinion diffived front the view taken of the subject by the Court—not troubling those who might concur with him. lIIr. SPENCE then inquired if his Lordt.l::p would tix Wed nesday? The LORD CUM.:Cl:trate assented, and further added, that another view which might be taken ass, taut even supposing the Overseer, as at present appointed, to be a fit trustee, whether in a charity so generally granted the Court had not power still to inter fere. In the matter of Mole, a lunatir, an application having becn made on petition to supersede the commission in this matter his Lordship refused to entertain the tiloPion. on the ground that he had before distinctly stated that no lunatic petitions but such as were quite of course, should be heard, except on petition days. There were bankrupt petitions of two years' standing, and he could not permit them to be further postponed for applications of that nature_—he could not en allow the nhole hosiness of the Court to be deranged. He was constantly riceiving letters from parties (which lie often sat up at night to read) complaining of the post. portant:tit cf their cases. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, YESTERDAY. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. V. THE DIBIIOP Or LT-Asmara. Mr. BAYLEY moved the Court that the Bishops of Llandaff, Peterborough, and the Lord Mayor, the trustees in this cue, might have an order to pass their accounts. It appeared that lord Craven, in the reign of Charles 1, left certain lands in trust, out of whose rents a certain number of students were to he educated At Oxford and Cambridge, any surplus remaining was to be applied to the redemption of Englishmen in a state of alavery at Algiers. The latter provision was rendered nugatory by the treaty of 1813 with the l)ey, and there was now in consequence a large aceumula. tion of funds. lie (Mr. B.) would not enter icto the latter qua. tion, but would now only pray that an order might be granted in the usual terms that the students might receive tlu Ic stipends. Mr. IiARRATT said he bad no objection to such an order. BOXING. Our Cotemporaries have been very busy during the preceding week, in recording, in appropriate language, some of the sanguinary spectacles which present them selves under this head. It would be amusing, were it not shocking to tee with what fond delight the journalists of the British metropolis seem to dwell upon scenes of this nature, and the elaborate accuracy with which they pre tend to assign the merits of each blow, which either com batant deals out for the destruction or mutilation of the other.

CHARGE OF FORGERY; Gi I I.DUALL.—A very respectable looking middle aged man, a Mr. Hobert Foster, well known some years ago as an unicr writer at Lloyd's, was brought up yesterday before the sitting Ma gistrate, Mr. Alderman Christopher Smith, charged with uttering a check for the sum of 3001. on Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and' Co. the bankers in Lomuard-street, 'mowing the saute to be forged. Mr. John Mitchell, one of the clerks in the banking-house, stated, that about four o'clock on Saturday afternoon, the prisoner presented the check, now produced, to hint at the counter, re questing to have it cashed in three notes of 1001. each. The signa ture to the check, namely, " Arthur Shakespeare and Son," being that of a firm which no longer existed, he sent 'the check in for examination to Mr. ritnith, another clerk in the house. 111 r. George Smith said, that on returning front his dinner on Saturday the check alluded to was handed to hint for examination. The firm of Shakespeare and Sun hail ceased to be in existence from the death of Mr. Shaltespeare, the elder, which occurred many year* ago, but the present Mr. Shakespeare, the son, kept cash at their house, and he (Mr. Smith) hid at first conjectured that the draught might have been signed in the old way by mistake, there being a tolerable similarity in the signature to the usual hands/fit ingot Mr. Shakespeare, On showing the check to Mr. Tritton, one of the partners, he was desired to question the person who pre sented it, and he accordingly asked the prisoner from whom he had the check 7 " A friend of mine upon 'Change," he replied, ! " What, Good God is there any thing wrong about it ?' lie'! next inquired the name and address of that friend. This the prisoner said he was not able to give, but he would give his own, and ha did so accordingly correctly. They then pro:Teded together to the Royal Exchange, to find the person from whom the prisoner alleged he had received the check, and on reachirg the gate, Foster said, " If you will wait here I will go and find hint." lie replied that he thought they had better go to gether. After some time, the prisoner not beingable to fix upon any person, he (Mr. Smith) asked him if he was himself known to anybody there. The prisoner replied, " 0 yes, to plenty of peo ple--here is Lavers,' pointing to a gentleman who was passing at that instant, and w hom he (Mr. S.) knew as one of their custom ers. Mr. Lavers acknowledged knowing the prisoner, but upon be. ing questioned by the witness, said his knowledge of him was 20 years ago, and he was wholly unacquainted with his pursuits lat terly. 'f he prisoner then pointed out a Mr. Walker, or Winter, a gentleman who was not known to hien (Mr. Smith); but his answers to his inquiries were perfectly similar to those of Mr. Lavers. Un der these circumstances, there appearing no likelihood of finding the individual of whom the prisoner said he had received the chxk, the latter was given into the custody of an cfficer. On inquiry at Mr. Shakespeare's house in the Albany, Mr. . Smith had learnt that that gentleman left town on the 9:h instant, the day subsequent to the date of the check, and he was gone on a tour round the coast, it was not known where to address a letter to him ; and he was not expected to return in less than a fortnight. lie, therefore, requested that the prisoner might be remanded, to give time for the production of the necessary witnesses, as well as for other proper inquiries. Mr. Payne, the clerk, reminded the Alderman that Mr. Shake speare might not ultimately be allowed to be a witness; us certainly he could not be considered as the best evidence as to the signature to the check not being in his hand-writing. Mr. Alderman Sal IT seid, he was aware of that, and asked if either of the clerks could swear that the signature was not in Mr. bliakespeare'snand.writing. Mr. Smith replied he could, and he accordingly examined the check, and deposed to that effect. The prisoner, who showed no symptoms of alarm, but appeared with the most perfect self-possession, declined entering into any defence at that stage of the business, bserving, that at the proper time tie hail no doubt he should he a ble to explain satisfactorily all ' the circumstances. Ile wished, however, to ask Mr. Smith whether ' he had not paid draughts with the signature "Arthur Shakespeare ! and Son." . _ .Ir. Smith—Some years ago, perhaps, but I cannot speak posi tively even to that. The prisoner then applied to have a pocket-book, which was un. derstood to contain several pawnbrokers' duplicates, and which had been taken from hint when searched by the officer, restored to hint, and his request, af:er the book had been examined by the Alder. man, was complied with. 3lr. Wright, of No. 13, London.road, Southwark, now offered to become answerable for the prisoner's appearance on a future day. He had lodged with hint he said now for about four years, and was supported by an allowance be received front his brother, a gentle wan of fortune residing at Berwick.upon.Tweed. Mr. Alderman Sart Tlt replied, that front the very serious nature of the charge it was quite impossible for him to admit the prisoner to bail, and he was accordingly remanded until Saturday next, to be then re-examined at the ➢lansion•house. IRISH RIOT. WORSHIP-9TR t ET.llestertliidlorning this office was com pletely bract by several hundreds of persons of all denominations, in consequence of the expectation of seeing some Irishmen, who were to be brought to the Office under the following circum stances : It appeared that the origin of the riot, or, as it is politely termed, shindy, commenced about time o'clock on Sunday morning, in Pa/rack-court, Holden-lane, between some Irishmen, who had been drinking the whole of Saturday night, and continued at inter vals during the whole of the day ; but the most serious part of the disturbance did not begin till six or seven o'clock in the evening, when, front the mob's momentarily increasing, it was deemed re quisite by the inhabitants of the neighbourhood to send for the officers. This was the signal for the general shindy ; and upon the appearance of the constables the war-cry was made, and the forces of the Emeralders called to their ranks through a broken tin horn, such as is used by the guard of a stage-coach. In less than five minutes about 4 or 500 were collected, armed with spades, staves of all sorts, composed of broom-handles, shovel handles, small scaffolding-poles, choppers, hatchets, -hemmers, brick pickers and chippers, mortar scrapers, and, in fact, every de scription of missile they could get, not even forgetting an old po ker, fire shovel, or pair of tongs. Here the riot commenced in ear nest, for the more the officers exerted themselves to put a stop to it, the morestrenuous were their opponents in their endeavours to in crease it by every means that Jay in their power, either by force of arms or tongue. Soon after this period a slight murmur was heard of " Down with the Protestants," and such other party expres sions, which were immediately laid hold of by the Insurgents as fresh nausea for their conduct. Such was the dreadful pitch to which it arrived, that, we see told, from a large reinforcement hav ing conic down from St. Oiles's the constables were compelled to ! cad upon every individual in the vicinity of the riot to render their assistance in taking some of the parties into custody ; and at four o'clock yesterday morning there were, as we understood, about 140 ; taken and lodged in various watchbouses. In fact.auch was the state of ' ; fermentation in which the whole neighbourhood was, that scarcely any one dare go to bed during the night. At half-past eleven the prisoners were brought before Mr. Osborne, when there appeared sonic 30 or 40 persons who had assisted to quell the affray, many with dreadful bruises on various parts of the body. One poor lad bad his upper lip cut in two with a chopper, and escaped very narrowly luring his nose and chin shorn oft at the same instant; this was' immediate'' , followed by his receiving a brickbat upon his shoul-; der : another person was so very seriously cut upon the head, as for it to be necessary, when taken to the Hospital, to shave offnearls the whole of the hair—another person had his arm broken ; and, indeed, so much havoc we never heard of as having been commit ted at one time in an affray of Mil description. The greater part of the prisoners were recognized by those who had been witnesses of the riot, and nearly the whole were ordered to find bail, come for assaults, and others for timing, and to give twenty-four hours notice of such bail, and in default to be -im prisoned. NAVAL COURT-MARTIAL. POILTSMOUTH, JULY 16. A Court-Martial was held on board his Majesty's ship Victory, at this port, on Aln•tdLy and the three following days,. on Lieut. James Campbell, late of his Majesty's ship Tyne, on the fbllowing charges, arising out of his conduct at the capture of the pirate schooner Ssragozana, on the 31st of March 1833 : ht. That the said Lieut. James Campbell, being a Lieutenant of his 3lajtroty's ship Tyne, and having the command of a pinnace ' or boat belonging to the ship on the 31st of March 1823, and being ' ordered by his Captain, John Edward Walcot, the Commsnder of the Tyne, to advance and board the pirate schooner Saragostana, then about to be assailed, did not use all possible endeavours to put the said order in execution, and wilfully disobeyed the tame, in breach of the 11th Article of War. 2d. That being such Lieutenant of the Tyne at the attack of the said pirate schooner Saragozana, the said Lieut. James Campbell, did, through cowardice and negligence in the time of action with the said pirate schooner, withdraw and keep hack, and did not do his utmost to take and destroy the sante, in breach of the 12th At. tick of War. The Court having patiently investigated the circumstance*, a nd heard the defence of Lieut. Campbell, agreed, that the charge of cowardice was not proved against the said Lieut. James Campbell, sod did adjudge him to he acquitted thereof ; but that with respect to the first of the said charges, that he did not use all possible en deavours to put the orders of Capt. John Edward Walcott in ex ecution, but disobeyed the same; and with respect to the second of the said charges, that be did keep back, and did not do his ut. most to take and destmy the said pirate schooner, which it was his duty to do, had been proved against the said Lieutenant James Campbell ; but, in consideration of circumstances, 'loth adjudge him only to be ;laced at the bottom of the list of Lieutenant's and there to remain for the term of two years from the date hereof.
