Lieutenant-Colonel Taylor throughout his military career has been frequently mentioned with distinction in the dispatches of the Gene rals under whom he served, especially for the storming of the Khyber Pass under Sir George Pollock in the Caubul war of 1812, and for which he was made a Companion of the Bath.

DEATH OF GENERAL STRATFORD SAUNDER 6.• Another name has fallen from the roll of our military commanders by the demise of this distinguished officer, which took place on Thursday last, at his seat, Golden Fort, county of Wicklow, at the advanced age of eighty-four, sixty-seven of which were spent in the British service. His commissions are thus dated :—Ensign, May 26, 1779 ; Lieutenant, December 2, 1779 ; Captain, September 12, 1782; Major. March 1, 1794 ; Lieutenant-Colonel, January 1, 1798 ; Colonel, April 25, 1803 ; Major-General, June 4, 1811 ; Lieutenant-General, July 19, 1821; and General, June 28, 1834. The gallant officer, whose early promotion was exceedingly rapid, had seen a great deal of service in the 'West Indies, and was actively employed against Demerara, Saint Eustatia, and Saint Vincent. During two years service in Martinique, he was present at the engagement!' of the Night Gross Islet, Cul de Sac, and Carnegie. He also accompanied General Baird's army to Egypt in 1801. He proceeded to the Penin sula in June, 1809, and was engaged with the army under Sir Arthur Wellesley (now Duke of Wellington). For his services at Talavera, where he commanded the Glst Foot, he received a medal, and in other respects attracted the notice of the military authorities of the day. DEATH OF COLONEL. E. WILDMAN.—We have to an nounce the death of the above gallant officer, which took place sud denly at his house at Brighton, on Saturday last. Colonel Edward Wildman served in the Peninsula with the 4th Dragoons, from April, 1809, to Sept., 1811, and again from July, 1812, to the end of that war in 1814, including the battles of Talavera and Busaco, action at Redinha, battle of Allmera, retreat from Salamanca to Portugal, bat- tles of Vittoria, Pyrenees, Tarbes, and Toulouse. The Gallant Colonel served also throughout the campaign of 1815, and had three horses killed under him at Waterloo. He received two severe sabre wounds in the head and arm, and was made prisoner at Albuera. The Gal lant Officer's commissions are thus dated :—Cornet, May 8,180 G; Lieutenant, May 14, 1807 ; Captain, bee. 17, 1814 ; Major, Sept. 24, 1818; Lieutenant-Colonel, Sept. '25, 1823; Colonel, June 28, 1838. Colonel Wildmtut was placed on the half-pay list in March, 1839. THE LATE CAPTAIN CAMPBELL.—By the, latest ac counts from India, information was received of the death of Lieu tenant Campbell, who was stated to have been slain in the engage ment of the 21st of January last. The officer alluded to is now ascertained to be Captain Arthur Wellington Campbell, second eon of his Excellency Sir Colin Campbell, now Governor of Ceylon, and brother of Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell, of the Scots Fusilier Guards, and of the Hon. Mrs. Edmund Phipps. This fine young officer being on sick leave from Ceylon, had been sent to India for change of air. There Iris military ardour induced him to proceed to the army of the Sutlej as a volunteer. At the time he fell he was on his way to join the Governor-General as his Aide-de-camp. At the commencement of the action he was struck by a cannon ball while advancing by the side of General Sir Harry Smith. His death was instantaneous.

The market was decidedly firmer; exporters took 1,000 bales American. A good business was done in Shares, and at some improvement in prices. For some time past a proposition has been before the Pro prietary of the South Sea Company to establish a Trust Fund, and as the charter for this important object has been ob tained, it may be worth while to notice briefly the objects intended to be carried out. We may mention, however, ad interim, that more fall and explicit information will be conveyed to the public through our ad vertising columns. The Trust Company will have an immense capital, as many of the largest proprietors of South Sea Stock have assented to merge their capital into it. The guarantee, therefore, for safety and security, is full and complete. The difficulties which are frequently felt in ob taiaing the assent of individuals to act as trustees to minors and others in the various avocations of life, in executorships and other matters, where trustees are required—rarely undertaken but with diffidence and anxiety—will, by the administration of this associa tion, be entirely removed. If we are informed cor rectly, it is intended that the British Colonies, as well as England, Ireland, and Scotland, shall be embraced within the scope of the operations of the Trust Company. Headed as it is by influential men of experience (Mr. Charles Franks, the Sub-Governor of the South Sea Company being its Pre sident), the best guarantee is afforded that trusts confided to its care will be worked with fidelity and economy. Another most important feature in the scheme is, that frauds and spoliations of property, so frequently complained of under ' the present system on the part of trustees, will be wholly and entirely obviated.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FAITB ) IN RE WALMSLET. Mr. PARNELL applied in this case for an order on the insolvent, who is a solicitor in Chancery-lane, under the following circum stances :—The insolvent, whose debts amounted to about 23,11001., came up in August, 1843, when he made a proposition to pay one quarter of his yearly earnings, and to give au annual account from that time. Ile, however, had not rendered an account until twc years, and then showed that there had been no profit after allowing himself 3110/. a year for housekeeping expenses. The assignees, however, on going over the account estimated a profit of 3791. 2s. I Id., rejecting an item for costs paid by him, and 190/. on liability for a client, which it was contended by Mr. Parnell ought not to be allowed on account. A summons had been obtained for the attendance of the insolvent, who, however, sent a medical certificate, stating he was unable to attend, through illness. Mr. Parnell now applied for an order for the payment of what was alleged to be due. The Learned COMMISSIONER said, he could not make any order after the final order. It was clear that the insolvent had not acted up to his proposition, and therefore he (the Learned Commissioner) would take any steps he legally could, bat not a step beyond, when he saw how ready the Courts of Queen's Bench, Exchequar, and Common Pleas were to trip up the proceedings of this Court. It had been held that persons acting under these Acts were liable for any error that they might commit. Mr. PARNELL urged that, under the 19th section of the last Act, the Court could make an order, and commit if it was disobeyed. The COMMISSIONER said that that section applied to rules and orders made before the final order. Mr. PARNELL then said the assignees would have to apply for the final order to be rescinded. The COMMISSIONER said he was not clear that he had a power to rescind, he had never been called on to do and therefore should not decide until the case came before him. lie had power to summon the insolvent, and even to issue a warrant, if ho did not attend, and would do if there was any neglect, when insolvent had no legal excuse, for the insolvent had by no means kept the terms on which the final order was granted. IN RE SIR JOHN ROSS. This bankrupt came up to pass his last examination, and was sup ported by Mr. Buchannau, solicitor. The examination had been adjourned, as a matter of f orm an assignee not having been appointed until the last meeting ; and al though he had seen the accounts, and was perfectly satisfied with them, the Learned Commissioner was of opinion that, as a point of practice, a short adjournment should take place. The bankrupt uov pawl hlg fiuminittl9n. - ~~ MARCH 31, 1846. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ___ ____ OLD COURT. The Court sat at half-past nine o'clock this morning. James Thoracic and George Wood were placed at the bar, charged with stealing 18 bottles of wine from Mr. George Sloane. The evideice was somewhat circumstantial, and at the conclusion of it, when the prisoners were separately asked if they wished to say anything, they each contradicted the other in the account they gave of the manner in which they had become possessed of the wine found with them. They were found Guilty, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour. John Bosicel pleaded guilty to stealing gold pins, some sovereighs, and other property, from Edward Harman, ironmonger.—Sentenc, defined. James Labor, labourer, aged 18, was charged with a burglary in ilk, dwelling•house of Elizabeth Turner, of No. 7, Surrey-place, Kenning ton, on the night of the 9th of March. It appeared, from the ev!- dence of the prosecutrix, that on the night in question she heard the window of her drawing-room raised, upon which she got up, ru.d called the police, who came, got in at the window, and found the pr:- loner standing on the side-board, who said he had come there for a night's lodging.—(Laughter.) A police-eonstabie produced a lanthorn, a screw-driver, and some paste and brown paper, which he had found in the chimney. The paste and brown paper, he said, were for the purpose of ptittin. up to a pane of glass, to prevent it making a noise if broken, The prisoner was defended by Mr. PAYNE, who contended that there was no evidence of an intention to steal. • The jury, after having deliberated for ,some time, found the prisoner Guilty. The COURT sentenced the prisoner to transportation for ten years. J ames Hollywood, aged 24, described as a salesman, stood charged with stealing a cash-box, value 5.5., eight bank -notes value 6Q, sixty sovereigns, and otter moneys, the property of dames Sykes, his master. It appeared by the evidence of the prosecutor, one of the vergers of St. Paul's, that the prisoner boarded with him. On the 26th of last month, after having been absent from town for some time, on his return he found that a cupboard in his bed-room had been broken open, and a purse, containing one 201. note, two 101. notes, and five 51. notes, and 18 sovereigns, had been abstracted, and also a cash-box, containing 40/. in silver and gold, and a promissory note for 101. The prisoner was arrested on the 12th of this month. Ire expressed his sorrow to the policeman for what he had done. A considerable portion of the money was found on his person. _ _ The jury said they wouhl not trouble his Lordship to sum up, awl returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner was sentenced to be transported for ten years. COURT CIRCULAR.

With so good and so early a beginning, we have not the slightest doubt that the licensed victuallers of the metropolis will succeed in establishing the richest Spring handicap of the season. SPRING'S TESTIMONIAL AT TIIE NATIONAL BATHS. If ever the National Baths were intended to verify their title by a fusion of the "too, too, solid flesh" which Hamlet wished to " thaw and dissolve itself into a dew," they last night made some approach to the effecting of that consummation. 1 more densely peeked mass of humanity than the four walls compressed it has never fallen to our lot to witness. If aught could add force to the sentiments we pen, the unequivocal and unmistakeable testimony of respect which this crowded assembly evinced, would be its proof. The men who mus tered from remote parts, men whose names are as familiar as house hold words, show that the esprit die corps is yet alive: Ould uncle Ben, Tom Cribb, Ned Neale, and Ned Painter, Spring and Jem Ward, Tom Oliver, Broome, and Hannan, reminded us of the days that are gone, or fast going ; while the burly champion, Caunt, who " gloved it" with Perry the black, and a host of minor stars, shed their twinkling raps to show the star of &tic science had not yet made its last dip beneath the horizon of this revolving world. Is a proof of the respect in which a worthy, deserving man is held, it was a grati fying demonstration PEDESTRIANISM Edward Smith and John Clark (the Fawn) ran their 150 yards race, to leap ten hurdles, for a stake of 101., yesterday, at the Bee hive ground, Wandsworth.

RC/BERM—This match for 101. a-side came off yesterday on Wandsworth-common, the distance 140 yards. It was by no means a fast run race, but Innwood, at its close, came in a clear winner by half-a-dozen yards. BURFORD'S PANORAMA OF CONSTANTINOPLE.-111 noticing Mr. Burford's admirable new panorama of the city of Con stantinople, we stated, through a slight inadvertency, that it was in the upper, instead of the large circle.

One of the most improving and extensive FEE SIMPLE ES TATES in the United Kingdom, containing 50,000 Acres, the greater part situate in the manufacturing district of the county. mR . W. W. SIMPSON has the honour to an nounce that he has surveyed, by order of the Noble Pro prietor, and intends to OFFER for SALE by AUCTION, early in the month of JUNE, at the Royal Hotel, in Belfast, The GALGOR NI or GLENAHERTY, the BRAID, and KELLS ESTATES, in the county of Antrim. A large portion of these estates is rich and very productive land, lying in the valleys of the River Main, and the Braid and Kells waters. The Galgorm Estate includes the fine mansion of Galgorm Castle, on which a considerable sum has been recently expended in valuable improve ments. Attached to the castle is a demesne of about 150 acres of superior land, in hand. On the property, which embraces a great volume of water-power, there are many extensive bleach greens, beetling and corn mills, in the occopation of wealthy and respect able manufacturers ; and several of the tenantry are engaged in, or connected with the various branches of the linen trade; the ma jority are Protestants, and, in the highly favoured province of Ulster, are remarkable for their industry and intelligence. The bogs attached to the estates arc very valuable, and there are exten sive tracts of pasturable and easily reclaimed mountain lands, abundantly stocked with game. The property is in the immediate neighbourhood of Ballymena, and approaches within a quarter of a mile of this, the largest inland town in the county, and is only 20 miles distant from Belfast. The entire of the estates includes a surface of about 50,000 acres. The Belfast and Ballymena Rail way, the works of which are contracted for, passes through the pro perty, as will also two other railways in contemplation. Particulars are in preparation, and may, in due time, be ob tained of Messrs. Reeves and Sons, solicitors, Merrion-square, Dublin; at the place of sale; and of Mr. W. W. Simpson, is, Bucklerabury. M. Simpson, from obvious reasons, which need no explanation to the public, has recommeneed his noble and other proprietors of Irish estates to defer those sales which were intended for April to the month of June. Mr. Simpson, while drawing the attention of capitalists to the above valuable estates, wishes to state that a second edition of his pamphlet has been published, on which the " Times" news paper made the following review :—" Mr. W. W. Simpson, the well-known and deservedly respected auctioneer and land valuator, has recently published a pamphlet, entitled A Defence of the Land lords of Ireland, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant, The' Dublin Evening Packet,' in reviewing this work, gives the following character of its author:—' Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our readers, is an Englishman, of vast ex perience in matters relating to the improvement and value of land in his own country. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most com prehensive views, and possesses an understanding naturally strong, and a stuck of practical knowlege and sterling sense which falls to the lot of very few persons in his own or any other rank of life. With the social condition of Ireland he has made it his business, almost as a matter of necessity, to' make himself thoroughly ac quainted. He feels for her wants, and has ccntributed es much, PahaP S : tfina_an its 1 1 i$ VIET V.. improve lam . ..tthituces. by en-. couraging the investment of British capital in :every department of Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefore hold to be beyond the reach of suspicion, on the score either of interest or partiality. His testimony must be regarded as Invaluable, as it is unquestionably unimpeachable.' " Booksellers.

The engineer stopped the train as soon as he could. The owner of the horses was a passenger in the same train, and said the horses were . worth.at least 511.

The ground of Sir William Herschers opinion, he says, was this, that many dim spots existed in the sky whose irresolvitillity could not be accounted for, without a supposed break in a lino of induction that otherwise seemed continuous. The chief of these test spots was the nebula in Orion. Lord Rosse writes me:—" I think I may safely say that there can be little, if any, doubt as to the resolvibility of the nebula." Referring to unfavour able circumstances, he adds, "All about the trapezium is a Mass of stars, the rest of the nebula also abounding with stairs, and exhibit ing the characteristics of resolvibility, strongly marked." Without doubt, then, the Nebular Ilypotheais must be abandoned.

LEMON JUICE.—Amoug the various articles now brought from distant parts to this country, either for the first time or in such considerable quantities as to attract especial notice, is that denominated concentrated lemon juice, imported from the kingdom of the &einem. A vessel called the President, which arrived at the port of Liverpool on. Saturday front Messina, had on beard, In addi tion to 200 boxes and 700 cases of lemons whole, and extensive quan - titles or cream of tartar, brimstone, shumac, oranges, and other arti cles indigenous to the place, the large number of 107 pipes and 20 hogsheads bf the concentrated lemon juice, an article which we do not recollect to have seen mentioned before, or if so, not in such large quantities as the importation under notice. It is presumed that this juice is intended principally for confectioners' purposes, by whom the beautiful acid of this fine fruit is so extensively used, and to pre vent the necessity of importing the lemons whole, for the purpose of being compressed in order to obtain their juice. DISCOVERY OF A SMUGGLER'S CAVE.—On Thursday last, as a man was looking round one of his master's stacks, pitched In a field by the side of the Eau Brink Cut at St. Mary's, he found a number of packages, which on examination were found to be nu manufactured tobacco. Information was forwarded to the Custom house here, and officers were sent to seize it. There were sixty-three packages, and they weighed together, we believe, about one ton and a half. It appears that a fortnight since a hole had been cut in the stack, and this was resorted to by the smugglers for the security of their contraband goods, over which they threw straw, &c., to screen .them from the eye. This afternoon (Friday) another waggon-load of abent a ton and a half more was brought to the Custom-house. — Lynn Advertiser. THE LATE FATAL FIRE IN CRAWFORD-STRIETs. MARTLEBONE.—Yesterday Mr. T. Wakley, M.P., held an adjourned inquest at the St. Marylebone Workhouse, touching the respective deaths of Robert Butters, aged 31, Robert Butters, jun., aged 7, Jane Butters, aged 4, and William Butters, aged 2, the unfortunate hi dividuals who lost their lives at the calamitous fire which occurred on,Monday, the 231 inst., in Crawford-street, St. Marylebone. Mr. John Hoskins, a trunkmaker, of No. 15, Homer-street, said that on the night of Sunday week he was sleeping in the premises numbered 77, Crawford-street. Ile retired to bed shortly after nine o'clock. Ile had not been out all that day. He (witness) knew nothing of the outbreak of the fire until the young man Hughes came up to his room and told him that the house was in flames. He succeeded in getting his wife, child, and niece out of the front windows, and effecting his own escape from the same place. Previous to leaving the room a p r t d s i balcony. n his tholzot r i w 3. fi t u te es m s , p h er is ce ~i v. ffe e d , s ma no , c i e t a h t e l dy f lo tr i e n gc e o s tm e i h i and the other two in the back roo m. He could not, therefore, ig ild to s w le tell how it was that the three children were found together in the front room. As to the origin of the fire witness knew nothing what ever. Mr. Henry Clare Timpson, surgeon, said that he resided at No. 6, Union-Place, Lisson-grove, North. The shop destroyed by fire was in witnese's possession. On Sunday night week, about balf past eight o'clock, on his return from Paddington Chapel, with his wife, he called at the shop and told his assistant, Mr. Hughes, to come home to supper at nine o'clock, which he did, and afterwards returned to the shop. Witness was unable to speak positively as to the origin of the fire, but lie was given to understand that a small gas pipe leading from the meter under the counter had had no bracket, and a boy who used to live with him had since told him that a lad had swung on it and loosened it. Au escape of gas might, in consequence, have taken place. By the Coroner—There was a policy of Insurance for 1401. in the Law Insurance-office, which sum has since been paid to me. Other evidence having been adduced the jary returned a verdict—" That the four deceased persons lost their lives at the fire at 77, Crawford street, but bow the fire occurred there was not sufficient evidence to prove." REPEAL OF THE MALT-TAx.--Yesterday a meeting of agriculturists, resident in Kent, Surrey, Sussex, and other counties contiguous to Middlesex, was held at the York Hotel, Bridge-street, Blackfriars, to consider the propriety of adopting some decisive cours e with the view of obtaining a total and immediate repeal of the malt tax. Sir Charles Lamb, Bart., was called to the chair. Several speeches were made, and resolutions in accordance with the object of the meeting passed, after which it separated. CHINESE MUNIFICENCE. — The Empress Dowager in 1835 reached her 60th year, in honour of which event the Emperor was graciously pleased to present to every person beyond SO years of age a piece of silk, one catty of cotton, IGelb. of rice, and 10 catties of meat, and those who were above 90 with double the quantity; so that the whole empire might share in the bounty of their sovereign. The Empress Dowager having reached her 70th 3-ear, it was the intentiou of the monarch to bestow similar largesses, in order to spread joy amongst the soldiery and people. One of the ministers, on hearing of the proposed Royal munificence, made the following suggestion and statement :—" The old people are so numerous that it will require more than one million taels to accom plish this benevolent design —an expenditure which the State does not grudge. But grasping police-officers and underlings will appro priate to themselves much of these things, and the old people derive but little benefit from the distribution. It might, therefore, be ad visable to make a diens in the favour to be conferred, and thus pre vent an unnecessary waste, by granting official buttons to the aged. and in this way penetrate their marrow and bones with gratitude." The Imperial reply is, " Let the Cabinet consult about this."—Pekin Gazelle. WINDOW DUTY.—Captain PeelleU. (Brighton) las obtained au account (yesterday printed) of the amount of the window duty paid in each of the last six years, as also of the 12 towns paying the largest amount of window duty. The following results appear in the first branch of the return, ending on the sth April in each year— In 1840, the duty was 1,486,0231. ; in 1841, 1,774,638/. ; in 1842, 1,775,1511.; in 1843, 1,776,7891.; in 1844, 1,786,5141.; and in 1845, 1,812,0351.
