The case of James Hunt, formerly sergeant-major in the 14th Dragoons, who shot Cornet Browne of the same regiment at Kirkee, near Poona, for seducing his wife,, has been tried in the Su preme Court of Bombay. According to the evi dence given by. Browne and two of . his fellow officers, on the 27th of January last Hunt rode up to the cornet's house, and, asking for a private in terview; was taken by Browne Into his bedroom. Of all that followed we have two versions, neither of which is it possible to corroborate, for the prisoner and the prosecutor alone knew what happened. Browne's statement is, in brief, that Hunt told him' he knew his guilt by finding one of his letters and by his wife's confession, and called upon him to give up any letters from Mrs. Hunt he had in his possession. There was some more. conversation, in the course of.which Hunt drew out a pistol, and said he had come over for the purpose of shooting his betrayer, and he did - not know whether he should not do so yet. At last, on Browne owning that - Lieutenant Beamish probably *as aware of what had been going on, Hunt raised the pistol and shot him. Hunt's story varies from this, in assert ing that Browne used taunting and insolent ex pressions, laughing at Hunt when he asked for the " satisfaction of a gentleman," and saying he gloried""in having seduced Mrs. Hunt. 'Browne swore distinctly on the trial that he had not said a *ord during the interview to provoke the prisoner. The following is an extract from the report of the examination of the prosecutor Question by Mr. Hunt—Did you, during our conversation, adMit to me that'youhad seduced my wife ? A.—l think I did. Question by Mr. Hunt—Why did you not admit this in your'deposition without cross-questioning ? A—Becaufie :1 had presumed that it was a well known fact that I had done So. _ _ moved graciously to extend pardon to one who has deserved well of his country ; and at the same time to mark her displeasure at the crime which sent him there, by directing Cornet Browne's name to be re moved from the army list, and with it that of an other, who seems to have played the infamous pait of panderer to his guilt. We look naturally to her Majesty to redress a wrong which the lavi fails to do; and the judicious manifestation- of a regard for public feeling in this case would go far to fortify the resolution of future juries in dealing with these painful and embarrassing cases."

Question by Mr. Hunt—Have you not stated to several parties that your brother officers and others had said to you that Mrs. Hunt was pure and im maculate, and that you had made up your mind to seduce her I decline to answer that question. Question by Mr. Hunt—Have you not, within the last three days, admitted the subject of the previous question to be true. A—l cannot remem ber. The counsel for Mr. Hunt made rather a weak defence, arguing that it was possible the pistol went off by accident. The jury having retired to their room for deli beration for more than un hour, returned with a verdict of " Guilty," strongly recommending, how ever, the prisoner to mercy, on account of the aggravated injury he had sustained. Sir M. Sausse (the chief justice)—lt is the pro vince of the jury to recommend a prisoner to mercy ; and in this instance, in my opinion, yours is a very proper recommendation. On which counts of the indictment have you found the prisoner guilty ? Foreman—The jury were not unanimous as to which of the several intents the prisoner was guilty of. The jury were therefore directed to retire again to their room, and returned in nearly half an hour with the verdict—" Guilty of intent to do some grievous bodily harm." Sir M. Sausse—l think your recommendation to mercy a very proper one, and I will not pass any severe sentence upon the prisoner, as far as it is in my power to carry out your recommendation. THE SENTENCE. MONDAY, MARCH 26. After the morning jury were empannelled, the Clerk of the Crown called up James Hunt to re ceive his sentence. The prisouer having appeared at the bar, the Clerk of the Crown said—James Hunt, have you anything to say before the sentence of the court is passed upon you? The Prisoner--My lord,,it is. impossible for any one to tell what I have suffered in body and mind since this unfortunate occurrence—no one can say what has been my sufferings, and how much my , health has given way since it came to my know ledge that Browne had seduced my wife; and, under all these circumstances, begging your consi deration, I throw myself upon the mercy of the court. _ _ FRUIT. s. d. s. e. a. s. d Pine apples, perlblo otol2 0 Cherries, per lb.. 0 oto 0 0 Colonial do., each 0 0 tc. 0 0 , Filberts, per lb 1 oto 1 6 Grapes,per lb 15 oto2o 0 Cobnuts, per lb 00to 0 0 Foreign do 2 oto s 0 ; Almonds, per. bus 0 oto 0 0 Ifelons, each Peaches,perdoz ooto 0 0; Figs, per doz ooto 0 0 Nectarines, per dz 0 oto 0 0 Strawberries poz 1 6to 2 6 Apples, per hf. sv. 2 oto 6 0 Gooseberries hf sv 0 oto 0 0 Pears, per d0z.... 5 oto 8 0 Currants, per do. 0 oto 0 0 Oranges, per 100.. 40to 9 0 I'lums, per do.

This is a crime which for some years ago you would have forfeited your life ; but the laws were subse quently altered, so that now a sentence for such an offence cannot exceed transportation for life. The offence is considered next to that of taking away life, one for which there is a severe penalty ; but I am very happy in the present case; from the nature of it, from the very strong recommendation to mercy of the jury, and from the very high and honourable character which you have received, to be relieved from that painful duty of passing so severe a sentence. It is a painful duty of the court to be compelled to pass a sentence upon a gallant soldier of his country ; but it is the pain ful duty of the court to teach others by example the enormity of this offence, by carrying out the law. In the present case the jury have most urgently recommended you to the mercy of the court; and I can see that the jury have given that strong recommendation on the account of the offence not being premeditated, but one that arose on the moment, from the excited state which you were in, consequent on the injury you have suf fered from the knowledge of the treachery of the prosecutor. I think it is the fairest inference to draw from the evidence in this case, that had it not been for that last answer the offence would not have been committed. You had, I think, from the aggravation you received, obtained all the satis faction you required, and I can only consider it an important circumstance in connection with the case. You had obtained all the letters which your wife had written to Browne, and could not have looked for more, and I am strongly of opinion, that had you stopped there, and asked no further questions, you would not receive the sen tence you are about to receive to-day. But it was impossible for you to stop there, and when he of fered to let you inspect the drawers personally, having satisfied yourself that you had secured all the letters in his possession, yon then asked if any other person was acquainted with the fact that he had had criminal connexion with your wife. You were no doubt desirous to screen your wife's guilt, not only for your own sake, but for her own sake, and for the sake of her daughter. But when you were then informed that at least one person was aware of it, and perhaps more, you were under the impression that that would be your ruin. I believe that at that time you must have felt the painful relation in which you were placed, and the painful relation in which you would be placed by the scoffs - and sneers of the officers and others with whom you were acquainted, and smarting under this thought, and having brought that instrument of death with you, you made use of it; and that you afterwards went out into the verandah, telling what you had done, and then going for the doctor, can only be explained by the remorse which so soon followed after the act. These facts all lead me to believe that you did not act under premeditation. Bat thq , punishment I will have to pass upon you will b% long enough for you to reflect upon the enormity of the offence of which you have been found guilty. Others must be taught that if they suffer from vio lent wrongs, the law points out the mode of redress for those wrongs—the law will not allow them thus to redress their wrongs as they think fit. The sentence of the court upon you is, that you be sentenced to the County Gaol for the term of 12 calendar months, with one week's solitary confine - ment at the end ohvery three months. The prisoner, in addressing the court, spoke in a loud clear voice, and during the passing of the sen tence perfect silence reigned in the crowded court room. There is a great popular sympathy . in India for Mr. Hunt, and a memorial has already been driewn up, praying for a remission of his sentence. The Bombay &Stndard says :--" Mr. Hunt had earned the esteem and regard of the whole regiment, the officers of which, upon his retiring therefrom a few months ago, presented him with a handsome testi monial. lie is a soldier who has gallantly served his country, and would seem, until this man crossed his path, to have been unusually happy in his dowestic relations, his wife being a woman of education, and of great personal attractions. The selfish wrong done tohim by Browne has, of course, stirred the deepest feelings of indignation in the co mmunity. It is felt that the real criminal is at large, and the victim is in the gaol.

EXTRAORDINARY ATTEIIPT AT I singular attempt at self-destruction is described by the 41- 'ldd Telegraph as having occurred a few weeks back. A man named Jas. Axon, aged 45 years, went to the cemetery gates, and asked permissibn to go into the grounds to see the grave of his mother.. He was refused admissioni whereupon he threatened to avenge himself by committing suicide. Ile went to some lads who were playing a s h or t distance off and told them he was go i n , to hang himself, if ho could , only find a likely spot for flie job. Thelads, too anxious to see the fun of the thing, helped him to seek a place for the purpose, and Ihe party adjourned into a neighbouring grass field. A flue strong tree, with a good stout bough, here rewarded their research, and the man very methodically proceeded to tie his handkerchief and a cord together and attached them to the branch above. He divided his half pence among the boys, and told the senior of the party not to cut him down till he whistled. The lad promised to do se, and Axon attached the cord to his neck and flung him self into the air. Ho had no sooner done so than blood gushed from his nose and mouth, and without waiting for the signal, the lad cut the rope, and the would-be suicide came sprawling to the earth. His first words were a sound blackguarding to the boys around hire, and an indignant remonstrance to the eldest of them for not waiting as he had promised ; 'but the boy gave information to a policeman who happened' to be close I)y,•encl, Axon was taken into custody. GIBRALTAR. Our advices from Gibraltar by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship China, Captain J. K. Joy, which arrived at Southampton yesterday morning, after. landing her mails at Plymouth, where she put in for coal, are to the 12th'inst. Her Majeaty's yacht Victoria and • Albert, .Capt. the Hon. Joseph Denman, arrived at Gibraltar on the Bth inst., having made the voyage from Ports mouth in three days and nine hours, the shortest passage on record.'._ • The object of the cruise was to test the super-heating apparatus witlr which the yacht has been recently fitted. The Victoria and Albert took in about 400 tons of coal at the New. Mole, and left on her return to Portsmouth, touch ing at Cadiz - , - • The French. screw steamships of the line Re- . doubtable, IMperial, and Algeciras, forming the division of the squadron of evolution under the command of Rear-Admiral Paris, arrived at Gibral tar, on the morning of the 9th, under sail from Brest, and anchored in the roadstead of Algeciras. Shortly after anchoring, the flagship exchanged salutes with the Spanish garrison. The squadron left Al geciras roadstead for Toulon, to , join Admiral Jehenne's squadron; on the forenoon of the 11th.

Rear-Admiral Sir H. B. Martin, K.C.B ~ on taking up his appointment as Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean fleet yesterday, hoisted his flag, blue at the mizen, on board the receiving ship Fisgard, at Woolwich. A salute of 13 rounds, correspond ing with the Admiral's rank, was immediately fired from the guns of theFisgard, and the flag was hauled down to be transferred to the Melpomene, for Malta. Commander Henry R. Wratislaw yesterday took up his commission and hoisted his pendant at Wool wich on board the new pattern screw schooner Ranger, fitting for the West Coast of Africa. The majority of the officers aro appointed and have joined the commander at Woolwich ; and the crew, many of whom were previously known to the com mander, are rapidly entering at the appointed ren dezvous, the Ship Hotel. The Ranger is expected to sail about the middle of next mouth. Instructions having been received at Woolwich from the Board of Admiralty, requiring a detailed specification of the name and description of every ship fitted out or repaired in that yard for coramis sion, reserve, +Sec., during the financial year 1858-9, the account was on Wednesday completed and transmitted for Parliamentary inquiry. The clerks selected for that duty have been uninterruptedly engaged since the 2d of March, and during the last few weeks they have devoted a great portion of the night to the task, although the regulations of the service admit of no compensation. The Arethusa, 50, has been safely docked in No. 3 dock at Chatham dockyard, notwithstanding that at the time she was being hauled in on Thursday there was a violent gale blowir , right into the dock from the north-cast. She will be at once cut in two and considerably lengthened, and altered into a screw frigate. The caulkers have commenced caulking the screw corvette Orpheus, 21, at Chatham. The iron-plated floating battery Thunderbolt, 16, 200-horse power, is to be thoroughly repaired at Chatham, and all her defects made good, as it is expected that she will be required during the ex periments ordered to be made with the Whitworth guns. The paddlewheel steam surveying vessel Porcu pine, 3, Capt. 11. C. Otter, went from Hamoaze on Thursday into Plymouth Sound, and had her com passes adjusted. She is under sailing orders. The screw steamship Royal George,lo 9 , at K ey barn steamyard, having had her machinery taken out, was placed in No. 2 dock on Thursday to be cut down to a two-decker. The screw steamship Royal Albert, 121, Captain Henry J. Lacoii, is under the sheers in Kcyham steamyard, Plymouth. Her funnel has been re moved, and preparations are making for lifting out her old boilers. She till go into dock when the Hero comes out. Fifty shipwrights, 12 labourers, 13 smiths, and One plumber are to be discharged from the Devon port dockyard to-day (Saturday). The crew of the screw steam-sloop Atalanta, 16, Commander Thomas M. S. Pasley, at Devonport, will be paid off on Tuesday next. The vessel will be placed in ordinary. The screw steam gun-vessel Espoir, 6, was taken out of the lock at Kcyham steamyard on Thursday, and placed at her moorings in Hamoaze. The crew of the sailing line-of-battle ship Indus, 78, Captain W. K. Hall, C. 8., were paid. off at Ply mouth on Thursday morning, in the presence of ~R.,.-. Rear-Admiral Sir T. S. Pasley. They are a fine seamanlike set of fellows,and were sober and orderly. The Marines were marched to their barracks, headed by a band. „ The gunboats Biter and Sheldrake were taken out of No. 2 dock at Keyham on Thursday and placed in the basin. The Firebrand, 6, paddle, Commander James M. Bruce, has sailed from Portsmouth to Guernsey to bring over the head-quarters of the 10th Brigade Royal Artillery. _ . , The - Flying Fish, 6,. screw, Commander C. W. Hope, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from Devonport, with supernumeraries. The Victoria, 121, screw, was undocked yester day at Portsmouth froth No. 7 dock, and berthed in the steam basin. The Forte. 51,,serew, flagship of Rear-Admiral Hon. Sii H. Ke - ppell, was yesterday placed in the steam basin at Portimouth, and Will gia into No. 7 dock today, to remedy the leak in her stern. The Bacehaute's detachment of Royal Marines ornbaxked at Portsmouth yeSterday.._ A second disturbance took place with the Marines on board her Majesty's ship Edgar, at Spithead, on Thursday evening. A number of them were sent prisoners to the flag-ship yesterday morning. The. Decoy 'and Blazer gunboats were yesterday • launched from -the gunboat yard and slipway at Hasler, at high watea'and two - other gunboats, the Angler and fancy, afterwards hauled up and placed beneath the eactuit - sheds. The time occupied in. - removing each boat frOm its shed with its cradle, placing * it on the transporti ng pl a tf orm , t rans f err ine. Ann to the launching cradl e , th ence t o th e wa t er , and finally returning the vess e l' s cra dl e t o th e s h e d whence it was originally taken, was 69 'minutes ; bat this must not be taken as a fair tcst of the time it would take to launch any of the boats which might be required for service, as the two boats in the present instance were already taken off their •bhicks and set up on 'their cradles, in readiness for • be operation. To select any. one of.thc 47 boats— say, one.at either end of the line—could occupy nearly four_ hours, instead of only 69minutes al.yes terday. The plara'dn'ilie•Whole,is good ;'but a small outlay would greatly simplify the present method Of w orking,'and afford a 'great saving in tithe. At this time there are 44 gunboats, beside mortar ves sels, hauled up at Haslar yard: Twenty-two of these vessels have been repaired at a great cost and with the exception of coppering, are ready fer launching. Nine vessels are under repair: Four- - teen are waiting examination and repairs, five of which are uncoppered, the remainder being cop pored. The remaining two vessels are the Fancy and the Angler, hauled up yesterday. This yard was formed at the conclusion of the Russian war, for the storing and preservation of the gunboats which had been built by contract by various pri vate builders during that war. The first boat was hauled up, we believe, on the Ist of January, 1857. Shortly afterwards more vessels were added, the boats were stripped of their copper, and it was supposed that this was the most sensible plan which could havebeen taken for their preservation. It was not long, however, before it was discovered that the vessels required repairs,and in some instances they were rather extensive. It was at the time stated that this decay in the vessels arose from the fact of their being stripped of their copper, and being set up high and dry on the blocks, and thus exposing • the planking of their bottoms to the action of the air-draughts underneath the sheds. This necessi tated the employment of a number of shipwrights, V:a., under an experienced officer, for their repairs, which have been carried on, and, as before stated, 22 vessels have been rendered fit for service, with the exceptien of coppering. Late investigations he e, however, pointed to another source as the cause of the decay of the vessels. Sonic of the cop pered gunboats which had been kept afloat having been hauled up had on examination been found far mare defective than these were Which had been stored beneath the sheds, and the only conclusion which can be arrived at is that the whole of our gunboats afloat ere unfit for service. Of- the nine vessels now under repair not one but bears the marks of having been constructed with the most reckless disregard to quality of material. Take two of them, two of the coppered class, which have been kept afloat, as an' illustration of what may be ex s pected from the 40, or thereabouts, which yet re main to be examined at Portsmouth alone, They stand on their blocks stripped of their planking, and scarcely a sound piece of wood can be seen about them, every part bearing the marks of " sap," and some of their ribs are completely enveloped with it; the pressure of the hand upon their frame crumbles it into dust. The white fungus matter grows over all, and nothing remains but decay. Tile contract price of these vessels is said to have amounted to about £5,000 for each hull alone, and, if so, the cost of repairing each of the two vessels we have named must amount to about £3,500. Taking one of the completed boats as a medium of the repairs of the boats which have been hauled up for preservation, it Will be found that in her case labour and material • amount to about £1,400. The copper bolts, too, in one of the boats, which ought to have gone clean through and been clinched on each side, were found to have been changed into:short ends, of about two inches, driven in on each side. In the midst of all this decay there are two boats, which have' been examined and repaired, which are declared by the authorities to have been constructed in a manner creditable to their bUilder, both as regards Latour and material ; but it is said the doing so nearly en tailed their builder's ruin. They are . named re spectively the. Earnest and the Escort. One con soling reflection is left—the machinery of all the boats is believed to be in good condition. In an other port of Haslar yard eight iron and.l2 wooden mortar boats are in position on blocks underneath temporary sheds, and it must naturally be expected that the latter will prove to be as defective as the gunboats have. • Rear e Admiral Sir T. S. Pasley, Superintendent of Devouort Dockyard, accompanied by Com mander Brown, master attendant, and Commander Paul, assistant, were conveyed from Hamoaze, on Thursday, in the paddle-wheel steam tug Confiance to Mount Batten to witness the second attempt to float the stranded transport Havering from the rocks. 'lbis attempt was also unsuccessful, although she had in addition to the four old gun brigs a Go vernment mooring lighter attached to her stern and another to her bow, both of which were hauled down until the water covered the 'fore part of their docks. Four hundred seamen were in attendance. A strong easterly wind continues to cut the tide, and the brigs, which are almost empty, instead of lifting the ship, cant over till they immerse their topsides, which are leaky. A Board of Trade inquiry was opened on Thursday before Major Templar and Colonel Langmead, county magis trates, at Stonehouw ; Capt. Harris assisted, and Mr. O'Dowd, solicitor, was in attendance. Capt.ltickaby deposed that the Havering had three bower anchors of about 3 cwt. each. The chain cables were la inch, and 125 fathoms long. In October, 1858, she rode, out a very heavy gale on the Goodwin Sands with the same anchors and cables, the port one only being down, when there were 600 troops on board and 500 tons of cargo. A ship of war of 720 tons has a 'chain cable of 13-- inch ; 913 tons, la inch, and 1,082 tons the same size as the Havering, which registered 906 tons. Mr. Mulley, district surveyor to Lloyds, stated that by Lloyds' rules the cables were of ie proper size ;in his opinion a law should be passed which would make the testing . a ship's cables compulsory. The Court adjourned until yesterday. One of the old brigs, the r:xpress, went down alongside the Havering on Thursday night.. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Thomas •Bowen, master, additional, to ° the Chesapeake ; George B. F. S wa in, master, to the Chesapeake ; James Kiddie, master, to the Algiers ; Benjamin - J. Hooper, master,- additional, to the Forte ; and Henry Col lis, master's assistant, to the Forte. ' THE ARMY.
