y .,.- /5...... STATE OF AFFAIRS IN THE PUNJAU B. (From the Times ) LAHORE, AUG. 10.—Since I wrote to you in June the course of events here has been steadily progressing in - the direction a hich I then pointed out, as I shall leave you to judge from the following brief statement of the leading events that have occurred in the Punjaub since the date of my former letter. The Seikh troops throughout the country are display ing an insubordinate spirit. Reports of their disaffection and dissatisfaction arc being constantly made from all parts by the superintendents of districts. The trooes do not appear to be actuated by a feeling arising from any particular grievance, but solely by a desire for change, and a longing for the golden times (of not later than last year) when their in fluence was paramount, and when they extorted gold necklaces and bracelets from their nominal rulers at will. One fact will show their present spirit. Two regiments which mutinied some time ago were shortly afterwards ordered to Lahore ; but, instead of coming to the capital, they marched to a stronghold at some distance off. From this they have dispatched notice to the Wuzeer, or Chief Minister, Rajah Lal Singh, that they wish to be paid up and discharged, as they will net remain in the Seikh service any longer. A general officer, who has been sent to restore them to obedience, has just reported that they are determined to resist by force any measures taken against them, and that the troops under his command are too weak to coerce them. Meanwhile they have sent a deputation to Simla, praying for the interference of the Governor-General in their behalf. The quarrel of the Seikh Government with its refrac tory Governor of Moultan still remains unadjusted. A detachment of Seikh troops has lately been defeated by a body of Affghans in the service of Moultan. In conse quence of this, and of the real inability of the Govern ment to cope with its powerful Satrap, an influential member of the Ministry has been dispatched to Moultan, empowered to conclude peace on the most favourable terms possible. As I predicted in my former letter would be the case, the Maharajah of Lahore must just be content with what his servant of Moultan chooses, of his good pleasure, to give him. A tract of country, valued at 100,0001. sterling annu ally, has been bestowed on the Wuzeer by himself. For this he is to provide a military contingent of four regiments of infantry, 1,200 cavalry, and 23 guns. This force is now being raised, and drilled after the British fashion ; the men are chiefly Mahomedans from the Rajah's estates. This immense jagheer is situated near his former jagheers, in the territory between the rivers Thelum and Indus, of which he may now be considered master. His brother is governor of the chief portion of it ; the forts there have been taken from their former governors and placed in charge of adhe rents of his own, and they have been repaired, and their garrisons strengthened ; his territorial influence there is paramount ; and his little army of 5,000 dis ciplined troops will enable him to rule that part of the country as he pleases. The Wuzeer is now the most powerful man in the Punjaub, not by virtue of his po action as Prime Minister, but individually—that is, as Minister he is nearly powerless (except from British support); as a local chief he is without an equal. Eight of the most influential Sirdars have been or dered off to Peshawur (on the other side of the Indus); and a young brother of the Ranee, just rising into no tice, is about to be sent on a pilgrimage to Benares These Sirda,rs were dissatisfied with the Administration, and were suspected of endeavouring to form a league to overthrow it, with the Rauee's brother at their head. They have thus been temporarily got rid of from the capital. Soondur Singh, Late Governor of Kangra—who, by his rebellious obstinacy in refusing to obey the orders of the Seikh Government to deliver up that strong hill-fort to the British, according to the treaty, put the latter to - immense trouble, and his own Government to great ex pense (for they will have to pay the expenses incurred by the preparations for the reduction of Kengra), and who did not surrender until he saw the British artillery completely commanding him from a hill which was thought inaccessible by guns—has been received at Court with honour. He was introduced by a member of the Mini- try. His nuzzur (offering) was accepted, and he was in return presented with a horse as a tokea of favour. This circumstance is considered a very strange one here. Two of the chief officers of the Seikh Government, one a military chief high in the confidence of the Wuzeer, the other the most influential councillor in the Durbar, have thought proper to make known to the British au thorities that the Government is losing entirely the sup port of the country ; that the chiefs are discontented, the army insubordinate, and the people at large dissatis fisd ; that nothing keeps the Government in power but the presence of the British troops ; and that a tacit league exists among the chiefs for its overthrow as soon as the British force is withdrawn from Lahore. These stateraents, coming from such a quarter, meet with proper attention and consideration. The British authorities have at last been induced to interfere (hut in the way of advice simply) in the internal affeirSOr the Punjaub. Main. Lawrence, the Governor- General's agent for the north-west frontier, who has been for some time with his Lordship at Simlah, has addressed the Wuzeer; warning him, in strong terms, of the cease quences to himself and the Government if he persists in his present conduct. Major Lawrence advised him to setCe the dispute with Moultan by negotiation ; and he at the same time wrote stringently to the refractory Governor on the sam , , subject. He has also directed the late Seikh Governor of Cashmere to cease the at tempts which he has been making (at the instigation of the Wits er, it is well known) to induce the hill tribes to rebel against their new master, Maharaja Gholab Singh. T!iese le:ters have made a great impression on the: mind of the Wuz ?er, whatever may be the result ; and they are to be followed up by the presence of the agent's brother (he himself bei.g unwell), who is now on his way from Sirnlah to Lahore. e )I:elude by stating that the general opinion thef - }u4hout India that a total cessation of our con r, `with the Punjaub is now impracticable, as the e!t : ?itOrit's for f.rrning a stable Government are supposed to. be want log in that country. I lire icti which I have mentioned, and for the truth of which I can vouch, will assist you and your readers in formin , ,(yoor own opinion en this subject :Whatever le tides in the cold season, we have rendered the city of Lahore well prepared for the chances of war, The engineer department has been engaged on the fortifications ever since the arrival of the British army. After having repaired the main ramparts, and rendered them as strong as their construction admits of, they are now givi ng the finishing touch to the outworks, by form ing- loopholes fir musketry at the gateways, erecting barriers outside the gates, and placing loopholed screen walk across the ways of approach. The weather is very unpleasant and unhealthy here at present. By the official returns, the number of sick in hoq - k d is, of the native troops five per cent., of the European troops 17 per cent. HYDRAOTES. - AFFAIRS OF EGYPT. ALEXXNDItIA, :SEPT. 23.—The lion. East India Com pany's ,ti ainer Si miramis arm( dat Suez n the morn ing ti:e 221 ins•ant, with the B o mbay ma il o f th e 27 t h of August, and thirteen passengers ; she met with very bad vt either on her way up. Lieutenant Wrighorn l s dispatch was conveyed from Suez to Alexandria in the very short space of sixteen hours and a half. The courier rode across the desert from Suez to Cairo, a distance of eighty-four miles, in fire hours and a half, having relays of horses every five miles ; a steamer started at once from Cairo on the arrival of the dispatch, and came down the river to Atfeh, at the head of the canal, in nine hours ; and a horse express rode from Atfeh to Alexandria, along the banks of the canal, in four hours and a half. Her Ma jesty's steamer Ardent, which was waiting here for the purpose, got out of the harbour at 20 minutes to 8 o'clock on the morning of the 23d, and as the English steamer Iberia, with the bulk of the Indian mails, sails only this morning, the Ardent will have had the start of her from Alexandria by 'fifty hours. In order, however, to make a fair trial, by which to test effectively the two routes, two steamers of similar power should start from Alexandria at the same time, one for Marseilles and the other for celeste, znd the first dispatch received in Lon don would prove which was the quickest route. In confirmation of intelligence received here from Messrs. J. C. and H. Freshfield, the London solicitors, a package has been found at Cairo containing a large quantity of paper, somewhat similar in shape to the Bank of England notes. This paper was sent out to Egypt by the late Mr. C. W. Thornton, who committed suicide on the 29th of August in the Marylebone station-house, where he had been taken into custody for having passed some forged Bank of England notes. The package was addressed to the care of an English resident at Cairo, to whom Mr. Thornton had written to deliver it to a Mr. Dupont on his paying for the cost. No application for it has been made, and it is not likely that it will be claimed at all, now that the whole transaction has come to light. It is presumed that Thornton, aided, no doubt, by some confederates, intended to come to Egypt with the necessary implements, and quietly carry out his de sign in Cairo, where the note: might have been forged in perfect security, to be afterwards circulated in India or elsewhere. The only mark at present on the paper is the name of Dupont and Co., engraved on the margin, and by cutting off this part the form of the remainder becomes exactly similar to that of the Bank of England notes. In Egypt Mr. Thornton was always considered a very honourable man, and the post he occupied at Cairo was one of great trust. He had great talent in the art of engraving. Mehemet Ali is still at Alexandria; his Highness in tends to proceed to Cairo shortly, and one night last week he suddenly issued orders for his steamers to be got in readiness to take him up to the capital, but towards morning he as suddenly changed his mind again. His Highness has convened a meeting in Alexandria of all. the Governors and Sheiks of the provinces and villages in the Delta, for the purpose of adopting new measures for the improvement and extension of the cul tivation of.the land. There has-been another skirmish at Aden. A body of 5,000 Arabs attacked the town in broad daylight, but being repulsed they were:. boon compelled to retire with asever.e loss in killed and wounded. THE VACAINT.The vacancy in the Episcopal Bench caused by the death of Dr. Carey, is not yet filled up, and it is presumed the arrangements con nected with the creation of the new see of Manchester are still incomplete. Several names are before the public, and it must not be• forgotten that Lords John Russell, Grey; and Clarendon, afi have brothers in the Church and that the appointment of any one of these reverend gentlemen would be generally acceptable to the public. A clergyman of deserved popularity is mentioned in well-informed circles as likely to be made bishop by the Queen, on this or a future occasion—we allude to the Bon. and Rev. B. W. Noel.—Cambridge Advertiser, --- WOLVERHAMPTON ADDRESS TO SIR ROBERT PEEL. (From the Wolverhampton Chronicle.) The address to Sir Robert Peel, decided upon at the town's meeting, held at the Public Office, some time ago, was last week transmitted by Mr. I. Fellows to the Right Honourable Baronet. The following are copies of the letter accompanying the address, and of Sir Robert Peel's reply " Wolverhampton, Oct. 1, 1846. " Sir,—With much satisfaction I fulfil the duty of transmitting to you theiaccompanying address, from in habitants of Wolverhampton, expressing their grateful sense of the sacrifices and exertions made by you in promoting the cause of Free Trade, and more parti cularly in effecting the recent change of the Corn Laws —a change involving in principle the total repeal of all prohibitory or distinctive duties on necessaries of life, and which they believe will greatly promote the com mercial intercourse and prosperity of the empire. " The inhabitants of Wolverhampton, sir, may justly claim the credit of having long given their support, through the medium of their representatives in Parlia ment, to the principles 'of commercial legislation, which they now have the pleasure to behold generally recog nised and extensively adopted ; and it adds much to their confidence in the soundness of their views, to find them embraced by a statesman like yourself, distin guished for the caution and practical character of his legislation. " The proposition for this address was unanimously adopted at a Loan's meeting, and it would have been presented at en earlier date had not the illness and sub sequent decease of Richard Fryer, Esq., who presided as chairman, operated to produce delay.—l sm, sir, your's very respectfully, " ISAAC FELLOWS. " To Sir Robert Peel, Bart., Drayton Manor, Staffordshire." " Drayton Manor, Oct. 5, 1846. " Gentlemen,—l return to you my grateful acknow ledgments for the address which you have transmitted to me. " There is no constituency in the United Kingdom more honourably conspicuous than that of Wolver hampton for a zealous support of the principles which are favourable to the freedom of commercial intercourse between nations. They are entitled to a share of the credit which is justly due to one of their representatives in Parliament (Mr. Villiers), by whom those principles have been advocated for many years, under adverse as well as prosperous circumstances, with great perse verance and singular ability. " I am little disturbed by the imputations which have been cast upon me, because I know that in the course which I have pursued I have been influenced by no other motive than a sense of publio duty, and the con scientious belief that the measures I proposed for the relaxation of restrictions upon commerce, and the early repeal of taxes on the import of food would be con ducive to the general welfare. "It cannot fail, however, to be very gratifying to my feelings to receive such cordial assurances of approbation and esteem as those which are conveyed in your address. "I have the honour to be, gentlemen, Your faithful servant, " ROBERT PEEL. " To Isaac Fellows, Esq., &c." GREAT EVENTS FROM L ITTLE CAUSES SPRING." A curious incident, which occurred a day or two ago, in the market of Brussels, has led to a discovery of some importance. A woman, whose appearance was that of a workwoman in easy circumstances, had taken an apple from the stall of a fruiterer in the market, without pay , ing for it, when she was taken before ',NI. Lenoir, magis- I trate of police. The woman, who gave the name of Chariot, said. in justification of her conduct, that she had no thought of stealing the apple, and that there was some mistake on the part of the fruit salesman. In quiries were made respecting her character, which was excellent, and as the delinquency was of so trifling a nature, the magistrate was on the point of dis charging her, but first thought it his duty to ask her some questions : he inquired the name of her family, to which she replied that her parents' name was Glatigny. This name struck M. Lenoir, who continued his inter rogatory and at last elicited that Madame Chalot had already been condemned for theft. and that she was the widow of an individual who, after having followed the trade of a currier at Villers Cotterets, had beon arrested at Paris on a charge of assassination, in September, 1844, and was even suspected of being an accomplice in the murder of M. Donon Cadot. Char iot, after his arrest, had attempted to commit sui cide. He was taken to the hospital of la Chari* and there succeeded in accomplishing his project of self destruction by a somewhat singular trick. The physician had prescribed opium pills for him. Chariot, instead of taking them singly, as ordered, concealed them till he had collected a large quantity, when he swallowed them all at once, and thus poisoned himself. This information decided M. Lenoir in remanding Mme. Chariot, and on paying a visit to her apartments to make a search, where, to his great surprise, he discovered a complete stock of stationery, ticketed and carefully arranged in cases, as if prepared for sale- In fact, for about 12 years, Mme. Chariot had been at work with the principal sta tioners of Paris, who all considered her as an honest, clever, and intelligent workwoman, and during all that time she had abstracted, unnoticed, goods enough to, set up herself as a stationer. This was a project she was about to realise, when the ill-fated apple of the market-woman destroyed her prospects. She possessed, besides, 14,000 francs in Bank of Brussels shares, and 600 francs in silver and gold coin. She was, moreover, very parsimonious towards herself, and although she earned good wages, frequently took from the houses in a hich she worked crusts of bread, which she toasted for her own use, in order to avoid purchasing at the bake ra. [lad not the trifling incident of the theft of an apple led to her detection, Mme. Chariot would doubtless have continued her delinquencies undiscovered, and enjoyed the reputation of an honest shopkeeper. COAST DEFENCES.—Orders have been received to prepare thirty-three towers between Hastings and Sea ford to receive guns. When the towers were abandoned, or considered no longer necessary as means of defence, they were inhabited by men in the coast-guard service and their families. The tops of the towers were cemented over in a dome form, up to the top of the spindle on which the swivA gun was fixed. The whole of that covering is ordered to be forthwith taken off, and a new traversing course of stone to be laid down.—Brighton Guardian. PORTUGUESE FRUITS.—The importation of onions arid graps from Portugal has continued to take place to an extent quite unprecedented. One vessel had an entire cargo, comprising the large number of 843 boxes of onions ; another, from Oporto, in addition to a cargo of wine, 372 boxes of onions ; a third, from Li bon, 340 packages of onions and nearly . 500 boxes of grapes; a fourth, the ProvidencP, from Lisbon, a large quantity of onions and 650 packages of grapes ; the %Vorthing• ton, from Oporto, 668 packages of onions ; the Wys.ui, from Lisbon, the extraordinarily large number of 1,509 packages of onions and 831 packages of grapes ; an i the Charles, fr o m O porto, 919 p ac k ages o f o ni o n s ; all of which arrivali took place in one day, the vessels by wine th,s w a h nd ut other o f t e Portuguese i p n r s o do of e t t h i o e n s k . which they were i m p orte d b e i ng more or less laden with n d T i ° s -e i n il); impractic able, t at e i e. able, but the above list of such supplies in one day will suffice to illustrate the ext en t t o w hi c h they are now carried. INTRODUCTION OF THE CULTIVATION OF RICE INTO FRANCE. —The design has been formed of intro ducing the culture of rice into the delta of the Rhone. According to experiments made on a surface of 25 hec tares, the rice plant promises a p!entiful yield of about 50 per cent. In the sitting of the Scientific Congress, at Mars nes, on the 9th ult., a calculation was pre sented, according to which above 20,000 hectares (about 48,500 acres) of the salt land at the mouths of the Rhone, and which is capable of being flooded, could be turned into rice fields. The whole area, at an average of 50f, per hectare, is now scarcely worth 2,000,000 E, while if rice were grown upon it, it would be worth 3,000 f. per hectare, (the hectare is a trifle less than 2f acres), and thus the landed property of the department would be increased in value by 120,000,000 E, and even 200,000,000 E, if this branch of agriculture were also introduced into the neighbouring departments. The cost of preparing a hectare of rice plantation, rendering it productive, solving, watering, weeding, and reaping is at most 350 f., the average produce is estimated at 1,500 kilos. per hectare of cleansed rice, which, at the rate of 40E per 100 kilos., would give 600 E, being a net profit of 250 f. The Congress hereon unanimously re solved to declare their wish that the Government would take,measures to aid, by every means' in its power, the improvement of the salt and marshy lands of the Medi terranean departments, so that the cultivation of rice might ba generally introducedl therein. If the failure of the potato continue, rice and maize are destined to form an ktnportant portion of the food of the people of Europe. The entire domestic economy of the people would thereby undergo a profound and radical change. MINERAL WEALTH OF THE UNITED KINGDOM.— Yesterday Professor Tennent delivered the first of his course of lectures for the present session of mineralo gical geology to a very numerous class at King's Col lege. Having commenced with a review of the history of the science from the period when the facts upon which it was founded first attracted attention, until the present time, in describing the interesting chemical analogy observable in various geological formations, and parti cularly as instanced in coal, plumbago, and the diamond, he referred to the very satisfactory arrangements of the collections at the British Museum, of which this forms the basis. In the course of his observations the lecturer stated the annual amount of the mineral wealth of this country to exceed 25 millions. Of this, 9,100,0001. was from coal, 8,400,000/. from iron, 1,200,0001. from copper, 920,0001. lead, 400,0001. salt, 390,0001. tin, 60,0001. man ganese, 35,0001. silver, 22,0004 alum, 8 , 0001. zinc, and 25,0004 the various other metals, as antimony, bismuth, , arsenic, &c. STATE BULLETINS FOR SPAIN.—Such is the alarm ing condition of Spain, that it would be highly satisfac tory to the rest of Europe if she were regularly attended by state physicians, who, at brief intervals, should pub lish official bulletins of her health, as, for instance— " 6, A.m. Spain has passed a tolerable night, but is slightly troubled with symptoms of commotion this morning. 11, A.M. Within the last hour a revolution has broken out in Spain, but it has been suppressed with a moderate amount of bloodshed ; and for the last five minutes Spain has been tranquil. 1, P.M. The tranquil lity which was restored to Spain at five minutes to eleven, lasted up to a quarter to twelve, when insurrections began to manifest themselves in a few provinces; and since that time she has been labouring under febrile agitation. 6. P.M. The agitation of Spain continued till four o'clock, when a remission of symptoms took place; but at five she had a relapse, and the insurrectionary movements have recurred in paroxysms every quarter of an hour. 11i, P.M. Spain has just lost a little more blood, which appears to have relieved her, and for the last ten minutes has enjoyed profound repose."—Punch. ATROCITIES of the SLAVE TRADE, In November last the barque Pons, of Philadelphia, commanded by Captain James Berry, was at anchor in the port of Cabinda (Africa), for some time before taking in the slaves, during which time she was watched by her Britannic Majesty's brig Cygnet, Captain Layton, com mander. The slaver had come from Rio, and a person named Gallant), an Italian, who embarked in her as a passenger, had entered into an arrangement by which she was to be given up to him on their arrival at the coast. On the morning of the 27th, the Cygnet, being ordered to leave the coast, was got under weigh, and stood out to sea, and the captain of the slaver taking advantage of this circumstance, immediately commenced getting on board the slaves, with the water, provisions, &c.; so expeditious were they in their movements, that at eight o'clock the same evening the vessel had left Cabinda, having embarked 903 slaves. She did not stand out to sea immediately, but kept along the coast during the night, and at daylight, being off Kacongo, twenty. five miles north of Cabinda, they discovered the Cygnet in the offing. Under these circumstances, they drifted near the shore, so that a number of negroes lined the beach, in the expectation of her going aground and becoming a wreck. Towards noon , however, the Cygnet drew off from the land, and the crew of the slaver, finding that they had not been ob served, set all sail and cleared the shore. About this time the United States ship Yorktown, under the com mand of Captain Bell, having observed her motions, and judging that she was engaged in the traffic of slavery, gave chase, and, after a run of two days, succeeded in capturing her, in lat. 3 deg. south. When first observed, she hoisted American colours, under the impression that the vessel in chase was a British cruiser, but, discovering her mistake, raised the Portuguese flag. Owing, how ever, to Captain Bell first showing cne colour and then another, the captain of the slaver became confused, and, during the fright, threw all his papers overboard, which he admitted on being captured. When the slaves became acquainted with the fact of their re-capture, they were so overcome with joy, that they gave a shout which might have been heard at the distance of a mile. The crew consisted of Spaniards, Portuguese, Brazilians, and sea men from other nations. On examination it was found that she had shipped upwards of 900 slaves between the ages of eight and thirty, embracing forty-seven girls; and that about twenty had died, although the vessel had been out only three days. The slave ship was then placed under the command of Lieutenant Cogdell, who proceeded with the victims to Liberia, where he arrived on the 15th Decbmber, and landed all that remained alive, amounting to 756, upwards of 180 having died on the passage. About 30, who were in a dying condition, survived only a short time after their arrival. The vessel had no slave deck, and upwards of 850 of the wretched human beings (males) were piled almost in a bulk on the water casks below, while 40 or 50 females occupied one-half of the round-house cabin on the deck. She was bound to Rio Janeiro, and being a vessel of only about 350 tons, it seemed impossible that one-half of the slaves could have lived to cross the Atlantic. The captain said he had intended to ship 400 or 500 more, had he not been prevented by the proximity of an English cruiser. The suffer ings of the poor wretches can scarcely be imagined, as the stench from below was so great, that it was impos sible to stand more than a few moments near the hatch ways, and several of the ship's crew who went below, from curiosity, were brought up sick in a few minutes. The victims of the traffic were taken in charge by Dr. Lugenbeel, the secretary of the American Colonization Society at Monrovia (Liberia), and afterwards plaCed under the care of responsible persons in the colony, a guarantee being required that they should be humanely treated. The Rev. W. B. Hoyt, missionary from the Episcopal Society at Monrovia, visited the Pons on her arrival at Liberia, and describes the scene which was then presented as of the most appalling character, the living and the dying being crowded together with less care than would have been bestowed on the brute crea tion. Some of them were so emaciated, that their bones almost protruded through the flesh, while others had upon their bodies large sores produced by lying on the planks of the vessel, the ulcers being covered with swarms of flies, who were feeding as upon a dead carcass. The thermometer in the hold would, it was supposed, range between 110 to 120 degrees. Several of the suf ferers had jumped overboard during the passage, and others would, no doubt, have done so if an opportunity had been afforded them. The prize-master stated that as soon as a slave became helpless through debility or sickness, those around would strangle him in order that his body might be removed, and more room thus afforded to his companions. The Italian captain was brought to Liberia in the Yorktown, as a prisoner, but on his ar rival he was released by the officer in command : and such was the excitement amongst the inhabitants of the colony against him, owing to the lawless and ferocious brutality he exhibited, that it was deemed unsafe for him to remain on the beach. Tie stayed only a few days, and then sailed for South America. It appeared he had been engaged in the slave trade upwards of 20 years, during which period he had been six times captured by English cruisers, but had, nevertheless, made many successful voyages. The whole affair was no doubt arranged between him and Berry before the ship sailed from Rio, but it is thought the parties cannot be brought to justice by the present laws of the United States The slaver was ultimately taken into the river Delaware, and ex amined near the Navy-yard. The part of the round , house in which 47 of the female slaves were confined, was found to be 11 feet 4 inches by 9 feet 6 inches, and six feet in height. On each side wt re two tiers (three in a tier) of spaces, probably intended as berths, each about half the length of the room, two feet wide, and the two upper ones in each tier two feet three inches high. The berths on the level of the floor were only 18 inches in height. The hold measured 100 feet in length by 21 feet 8 inches in the widest part. Several casks were there, which had been eoecred with bags of farina (the food of the slaves). upon which was spread old coarse matting, forne eg a sort of platform, on which the male slaves were sto sae?. When the bags and mats were there, the height of the hold occu pied by the inmates could not be more than six feet. The area of the platform was font:el by computation not to exceed 1,720 feet, and as 850 slaves were stowed there, each slave must have had only two square feet of room, or a square space of 17 inches in the side. If they had lain side by side, and each occupied 15 inches in ssidth, and five feet in length, ftB6 of them wood have filled up the whole space, but that was only about one third of their actual number, and some idea may consequently be formed of the suffering they must have endured. It was found that when the hatches were closed they would breathe all the air in the hold twice over within the hour. There were but two apertures for the admission of fresh air—one near the middle of the deck, six feet nine by seven feet ; the ot'ner, three feet nine by three feet six, with a step ladder occupying a small part of it. The area of the two openings would be abut sixty square feet, and those furnished the only means of ventilating this pestilential receptacle for 850 human beings, during the period which might be occupied in a voyage acrosa the Atlantic. AN UNSOPHISTICATED NV ITNESS.—DUring th t sessi ns at Waketi, ld, a witness was asked if he was nu a husbandman, when he hesitated for a moment, then coolly replied, amid the laughter of the court, " Nae, sir, I'se not married." EXTORTION IN THE AR MY. —olle mode of de priving a recruit of his pay, is to give him an old shattered musket, easily injured ; thus there are ten chances to one that some part of it gets broken while it is in his possession, and he has in conseqw nce a round sum to pay on delivering it into the store, when leaving the garrison. I have known this to be the case with many persons, some of whom had to pay ten shillings for stocking a musket in use for the past forty years,. and the i n t r i ns i c va l ue o f w hi c h m i g h t b e ascertained by weighing the barrel, and calculating its worth at twopence per pound. Whether such were ever stocked is a question the armourer alone can de cide; but in any case, be and the pay -sergeants quietly arranged it all their own way. Another method of ' deriving revenue from the occupants of Chatham Bar racks, is by barrack damages ; and the sum realised from time to time, in this way, must be enormous. I was twice quartered in this garrison; the first time for four days, for which we were mulcted fourpence each. There are usually about twenty dep6ts at Chatham, ' from each of which, at an average, one hundred men are annually sent to India; and estimating the barrack damages, charged to each man during the term of his stay, at one shilling and sixpence, which I am certain is under the mark, we have a sum of 3001.—a large sum indeed, to be deducted yearly from the shilling, the hard-earned shilling, of a few hundred soldiers.— The Camp and Barrack-room. SUICIDE OF A FEMALE.--Yesterday Mr. Mills held an inquest at the George and Dragon, Upper Cleve land-street, Fitzroy-square, on the body of Margaret Fitzgerald, or Walsh, aged 26. About three weeks since she consented to live with a pensioner, in Little Orchard-place, Portman-square. He left there, and brought her to Cambridge-court, Cleveland -street. He left her more than a week ago, and a prey to re morse, despair, and destitution, she hanged herself on Monday morning, in a kitchen tenanted by several par ties in the above-named court, which the jury and the summoning officer described as an unparalleled nuisance. The jury, in the hope that publicity would cause the proper authorities to abate the demoralizing nuisance, having returned a verdict " That the deceased hanged herself, but in what state of mind there is no evidence to prove," appended to it, " That on viewing the place where the deceased woman was found dead, they had found the court to be ill ventilated, dark, and filthy in the highest degree, and unfit for the residence of human beings; and they express a hope that either the pro prietors of the houses in Cambridge -court will speedily voluntarily put them in a proper and habitable condition, or the authorities in whom is vested the legal power to abate nuisances in the metropolis will adopt measures for compelling the said proprietors to amend the un healthy character of the buildings." ATROCIOUS MURDER.--A murder under the most dreadful circumstances has just been committed in the electorate of Broach. A gang of bigoted ruffians having lost several head of cattle from disease, attributed their misfortune to the males oculus, or evil eye, of a poor woman, who, with her husband and family, lived in the jungles. The men proceeded in a body to the house of these inoffensive people, and, in spite of supplications for mercy, and attempts at resistance, succeeded in effecting the horrid purpose for which they had gone. The husband and other relatives who tried to defend the sus pected evil-eyed women were cruelly ill-treated, and she was tied to a stake and burnt to death. The poor hus band has laid his case before the authorities of the Zillah to which he belongs, and, doubtless, the most stringent measures will be taken to punish the inhuman Perpe trators of this act, most of whom are fortunately known. The authorities are not in the least to blame, as the deed was committed in a place which is quite isolated, and inhabited by a semi-barbarous people. Such is the state of some part of India in 1846. What would railroads not effect in helping to destroy the last relics of barba rism and disseminating civilivation among such a be uighted set?—Bombay Gentleman's Gazette. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, SEPT. 29.—Her Majesty's ship Amazon left port on Saturday last for Athens. She will, it is re ported, go on to Smyrna, there to relieve the Harlequin, in want of repair.

FOREIGN SHIPS OF WAR AND PACKETS IN PORT. French steamer Leonidas. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAT.—A court-martial is or dered to take place on board the Victory, on Saturday, to try First Lieutenant Story, of the Retribution steam frigate, Captain Lushington, for his alleged participation in the death of a man named Redpath, captain of the hold of the same ship, which arose from the following circumstances:— Oa the 13th of Augu3t the man in question was re ported to the First Lieutenant at half-past ten in the morning, for being drunk (at sea) and wetting his ham mock the previous night. After having heard the evidence in support of the " report," the First Lieutenant ordered him into the coal bunker until eight p.m ' with orders that he should be allowed to walk th e deck from one until two, which he did, thereby reducing the punishment to eight and a halt hours, and that he should be reported to the officer of the watch every hour as being safe, which ori.er was also complied with until seven P.M., when the deceased was reported well, and spoke to the non commissioned officer. After that time it appears he left the place where he was ordered to remain, and crawled further aft, where it was more convenient to lie down, but where the coals were more heated; the consequence was, the carbonic acid gas proceeding from the heated coal produced drow siness and death. 1 he public may run away with the idea that a coal hole on board ship is somewhat similar in its nature and size to a coal hole ashore. Such, however, is not the case ; the bunker in which the deceased 'was confined, on the port side of the ship, being at the time of his confinement thirteen feet wide, twenty-four feet long, and eight feet deep from the top of the coals to the open grating in the clEck. The First Lieutenant of the Retribution has incurred his present serious responsibility in the endeavour to save the rating of the deceased, and to prevent his being flogged, which punishment must have been inflicted had he reported the deceased to the captain before he, was put in the coal-bunker. At the court of inquiry on board, which sat to investigate the case, it was proved that confinement in the coal-bunker is a common pu nishment on board steamers, even on board the Royal acht. Lieutenant S!ory is a most humane and considerate officer, an ei,ensy to the lash, and a friend to the men under his command. This is the character he has hitherto borne, and we have no doubt it will be well proved at the ensuing court-martial. The Commander-in-Chit f, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., returned from leave of absence this morning at eleven, and his flag was rehoisted on board the Excel lent, having been struck the night before last at sunset. Sir Charles has been absent solely on business con nected with the Royal Naval School, of which institu tion he is president. We mention this, because there has been an assertion circulated that he had been in at tendance on the Admiralty on matters connected with the Retribution, which is utterly false.

Off Black Rock, near Achill Head, the surf was frightful. What must it be in a very heavy gale? This rock is more than 100 feet high, and the surf ascends above half way up, such is the headlong course of these heavy seas. At Sligo, the people (some 200), the other day, robbed a few meal carts, but I am told paid the money. The meal, they said, they must have. All are in great distress—a little quiet now, from a hope that the Government are doing something to alle viate their awful distress. It would not take much to fan them into a blase, although passive now. It is food they want, not money. No molestation has been given to us—all civil—but there is no knowing at what time they contemplate a descent. Some stores were robbed but a few days ago. We leave this, I expect, on Mon day, direct for England, and shall complete coals here, at Sligo, with that view." APPOINTMENTS. A. P. Ryde r, .. Commander additional, Tartarus.

PLYMOUTH, OCT, 6.—After three P.M. yesterday we had occasional heavy squalls of rain. The wind, which was S.S.E. in the forenoon, veered round to S.W. at six o'clock in the evening, when it was high tide; at nine it blew moderately from N.W. The changing of the wind prevented any further damage to Millbay-pier. Be tween twelve and one o'clock this morning a heavy gale sprung up from S.W., which continued to the time of high water, when serious apprehensions were excited for the safety of those merchant vessels which sought shelter hero during the storm, and which were, through stress of weather, anchored in exposed positions. Indeed, had any strange ships come in, or had those in the Sound sought shelter in Catwater, several schooners lying in rg p the Catw a t er f a i r wav must h ave suffered.

This insolvent, who is a clergyman, lately residing at Erith, came up for protection. The insolvent is also perpetual curate of a parish in Devonshire. The schedule showed debts to the amount of 5,7841., and no assets. The insolvent was supported by Mr. Cooke, and op posed by Mr. Buchanan, on behalf of sixteen creditors, on several grounds, the principal of which were, that he had been insolvent in 1840, and had not inserted his old debts in the schedule, not having paid any dividend ; that he had dealt largely in accommodation bills ; that he had fraudulently obtained a carriage, plate, money, and goods on a false representation ; that he had bought the living of Erith for 7,0001., and had fraudulently dis posed of the same ; and that he had kept a clerical agency office in Lincoln's Inn-fields, but had not filed his books and papers. . . . Mr. BUCIIi NAN proceeded to examine the insolvent, and he elicited in the first few questions that the insol vent had deposited goods, no account of which appeared on the schedule. The Learned COMMISSIONER said it was impossible he could entertain the petition when a full disclosure had not been made. Mr. CooKE said the insolvent was perfectly willing to pay 1001. a year, and take his protection from time to time, so long as the payments were made, He thought this would be much more beneficial to the creditors than pursuing the opposition. Mr. BUCHANAN, having consulted several of his clients, said that the offer was spurned with contempt ; it was only adding insult to injury to make such an offer. Mr. Comm said that no doubt the creditors were very grand people, to show so much contempt. Several creditors said they had been shamefully vic timised, and quite "a scene' took place, which was only ended by the interference of the Commissioner. Mr. CooKE said the insolvent must go to prison, and pass the Insolvent Court. Mr. BUCHANAN said that was the proper Court to be applied to in such a case. After an angry altercation between the insolvent and his creditors, The Learned COMMISSIONER said, as the insolvent's offer was rejected, he must dismiss the petition. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CLERKENWELL. A young man, with a strongly marked Jewish coun tenance, who gave the name of Joseph Miles, was charged by George Kelt, an officer of the detective force, with adopting the following ingenious plan for picking pockets The prisoner carried a bag, similar to that used by Jew clothesmen, over bis right arm, and when he wished to experimentalise on the pockets of a passenger he spread the mouth of the bag out so as to completely conceal his whole arm and hand, and then through a hole in the side of it, he had an opportunity of using his hand with the greatest ease and facility. The constable saw him try this " move," as he termed it, upon about twenty different persons in the City-road. The prisoner protested, with a multitude of " flash" expletives, that he never had a lock and key turned on him in his life. The constable not being able to swear to a previous conviction against the prisoner, Mr. COMDE discharged him, after a caution. MARYLEBONE. A CHALLENGE TO FIGHT.—MF. R. Clavering Savage, a person of considerable property, residing in Welling ton-road, St. John's Wood, attended before Mr. Rawlin son, by virtue of a warrant which bad been placed in the hands of Whirp, the officer, charging him with having challenged Theodore Henry Shute, the principal witness on the inquest relating to the death of the unfortunate Baron de Bode, to fight a duel. Dr. Shute stated, that his surgery is opposite to the dwelling of the defendant, from whose premises loud screams of " Murder" proceeded on the 10th ult., be tween seven and eight o'clock in the evening. Similar cries had been heard from the same house before, and a large mob of persons had assembled, and they insisted upon the door leading to the stable-yard being opened shortly afterwards. Mr. RAwLINsoN—The defendant is brought here on the charge of challenging you; come to that if you please. Dr. Shute—Well, Sir, as I was sitting in my surgery, there was a great noise at the door, and hearing the de fendant's voice, I ran out somewhat excited. He (de fendant) ran away to his own premises opposite, and there abused me, calling me a blackguard and a gallipot scraper, at the same time challenging me to fight at Calais, either with pistols or swords, Mr. RAWLINSON—YOU have told me what the de fendant said to you, now let me know what you said to him? Dr. Shute—After he had called me names I cer tainly told him that if I could get at him I would thrash him. Defendant—You spat in my face, did you not ? Dr. Shute—l admit that I tried to do so, but whether I really did spit in your face or not I cannot tell. Joseph Hooper, assistant to Dr. Shute, corroborated the greater portion of the preceding evidence, stating, that in addition to the challenge, which, he understood, was to be a fight either with swords or pistols, he heard defendant abuse Dr. Shute, whom he accused of having caused pill-boxes and other rubbish to be thrown down in front of his (defendant's) door. It was proposed that the duel should take place at Calais, on the sands. Mr. BAWLINSON—What did you hear complainant say ? Witness—l heard him say, "I wish I could get hold of you." Another witness deposed to having heard defendant make use of the offensive expressions imputed to him. Defendant, in answer to the charge, said that the noise was occasioned by a family dispute, and that a young female with whom he was living, thought fit to call out " Murder." He neither struck her, nor in any way ill used her, and as soon as the noise had in some degree subsided, he went over to Dr. Shute, who had impro perly interfered, and complained of his having caused pill-boxes and other rubbish to be placed at his (de f'endant's) door. He (Dr. Shute) then rushed at him in a most furious manner, and not only aimed a blow at him, but spat in his face. Being incensed at this, he certainly did call the doctor a "gallipot scraper." lie made no challenge at all to fight a duel, but told him that for spitting in his face he might institute pro ceedings against him, not in a Police-court, but in an other way. Witnesses were examined in behalf of the defendant, and the magistrate, taking all the circumstances into consideration, dismissed the case, remarking that both parties seemed to have conducted themselves with much indiscretion. CHARGE OF UTTERING A COUNTERFEIT SOVEREIGN. —A young man, named Henry Frezein, was charged with having uttered a counterfeit sovereign to Mr. Hin ton, a cheesemonger, in the Edgware-road. It appeared that on the previous night the prisoner went to the shop and called for half a pound of chees-, which was served to him. lie put down a piece re sembling a sovereign, and when prosecutor put it be tween his teeth it broke into three pieces. He then called a constable and gave the prisoner into custody. He was searched, and in his possession were found a sixpence and four duplicates. The piece alluded to was beautifully executed. A number of other tradesmen in the same vicinity have of late been off e red, a n d h ave ta k en b a d co i n. The prisoner, who said that he received the " sove reign " from his uncle, a plumber in Lisson-grove, was remanded for the attendance of the Mint solicitor. STAMS/NG.—Robert Price was charged with having stabbed in the hand James Clements. The parties are both cab drivers. On Monday evening complainant was at the Euston station of the London and Birmingham Railway, when defendant, imagining that compl a i nan t h a d bilked " him of a job, struck him with a knife, and wounded him in the hand.—Fined 20s. and costs. WESTMINSTER ASSAULT ON THE POLICE BY 'A WOMAN.—Anne Churchman and Catherine Harris were charged with the following disgraceful conduct at Cleaver's coffee-house, Westminster- bridge. Mrs. Mansfield, the wife of the proprietor, stated that defendants came to the bar on the previous afternoon and called for liquor, when observing that they were intoxi cated she refused to serve them. They became very abusive, and Churchman seized a bottle of port wine which was standing upon the counter, and dashed it to the ground. She swore she would tear witness's eyes out, and threw a handful of halfpence, which broke 12s. worth of glass behind the bar. The police proved that Churchman was so violent that she required four men to take her to the station, two of whom she assaulted. Mrs. Mansfield observed that it was due to Harris to say that she paid for the bottle of wine, and endeavoured to persuade the other to be quiet and leave the place. Mr. Bingham, taking this into consideration, fined Harris 55., but as regarded Churchman he observed, that for the protection of respectable persons, he should commit ber for 21 days, and, in addition, order her to pay 125., the amount of damages, or seven days. DISTRESSING CASE.--A poor girl, about 15 years of age, whose father was killed by an accident a few weeks ago, applied to the magistrate for assistance. She said that her mother and four children, younger than her self, were in a starving condition, and having been turned out of their lodgings, had slept during the last night on some stairs. Her mother had applied to the relieving officers of St. Margaret's, who refused to afford her any assistance, and told her to go to St. Luke's, Chelsea, where they sent her back, without any relief , to St. Margaret's. Between the two the family were left to starve. Mr. BINGHAM said it was the duty of the authorities of St. Margaret's to relieve the family as casual paupers. They could, if they thought fit, pass them to their set tlement. The worthy magistrate directed an officer to accompany her to the workhouse and request the autho rities to attend to the case. THAMES. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE NY AN ACTRESS.—Mrs. Anna Yates, an actress belonging to the corps dramatique of the Pavilion Theatre, in the Whitechapel-ro a d, was brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged with having at tempted to commit suicide. James Liddard, a waterman, said he belonged to Iron gate Stairs, adjoining the Tower, and was sitting on a bench in the plying-place, on Monday night, a few minutes before eight o'clock, when he saw the prisoner coming down Tower-hill at full speed, towards the stairs, and supposing that she wanted a boat, he plied her in the usual manner, by calling out " A boat, ma'am, a boat." She made no answer, b u t rus h e d past him to wards the river, and was about to jump in head fore most, when he sprang towards her and seized her by the gown. She appeared in a very excited and agitated state, and he led her to the bench, and after directing her to be seated, asked her if she was ill. She fainted away, and he bathed her temples with vinegar, and when she recovered a little, made her drink some of it, which appeared to rewire her, A young gentleman directly afterwards made his appearance, who appeared to know the prisoner well, and he asked her to-go away with him. She repulsed him, and begged him to leave her, on which he called for a cab, but as the prisoner did not feel inclined to have his company, he refused to let the young gentleman take her away in the cab, and sent for a policeman. Mr. BALLANTINE—Was the prisoner intoxicated ? The waterman—l rather think she was drunk, but I may be mistaken; perhaps it was her agitation. Wigley, a police-constable, saw the prisoner on the steps of the plying-place, and asked her why she at tempted to commit such a rash act as suicide, and she said she had quarrelled with a man who insulted her. The prisoner, who is about forty years of age, and ladylike in appearance, on being called upon for her de fence, said she had been very grossly insulted by a per son to whom she was indebted, and she rushed away from him with the intention of getting into a boat and 'crossing the river. She did not intend to commit any act of desperation. The waterman was satisfied the prisoner intended to drown herself and nothing else, and there was twelve feet of water just below the place where she was about to throw herself in. Inspector Scott, of the H division, stated, that when the prisoner was brought to the station house, she was in a very excited state, and he would not allow her to depart until she had procured very respectable bail. He asked her why she made the attempt on her life, to which she replied that unforeseen calamities and insults had induced her to act so rashly. Mr. BALLANTINE—Did she deny the fact of going to the waterside with the intention of drowning herself ? Inspector Scott—No, sir, she did not. Mr. Baker, a tradesman, residing in the vicinity of the Pavilion, said he knew Mrs. Yates well. She was a woman of considerable talent and good character. He had never heard of anything to her prejudice before, but he was afraid some misfortunes and insults had ex cited her. Mr. BALLANTINE said that self murder was a great offence, and the attempt to commit it is a misdemeanour, and she was liable to severe punishment. The prisoner said she had unfortunately been out of an engagement for seventeen weeks, and was compelled to borrow a small trifle of a person, who grossly insulted her, and she could not endure the insult. She did not owe more than Q. in the world. Mr. BALLANTINE--It was too much to make an at tempt to throw yourself away for 51. Have you an en gagement now? The prisoner —I have, Sir, and lam afraid this will interfere with my professional pursuits. Mr. BALLANTINE—You should have thought of that before. Mr. Baker said the prisoner was indebted to him for bread, but he was so well assured of her integrity, that be would become surety for her future good behaviour. Mr. BALLANTINE said that Mr. Baker was a good hearted fellow, and an honest man, and he would take his bail conjointly with the prisoner's own recognisance for her future good conduct. The required sureties having been entered into, she was discharged. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. LONDON, OCT. B.—Wind S.W., fresh breeze, and cloudy with rain. RAMSGATE, OcT. 7.—Arrd.

SHIELDS, OCT. s.—The Diamond steamer, whilst towing a vessel into the harbour, struck the wreck of the Lady Faversham, and almost immediately went down. FOREIGN BRICKS.—A vessel from Tobago, West India Islands, has brought the large number of 20,000 bricks, in additi,n to the usual description of cargo, but which, by the ship's official report, appear to be intended for re-shipment to a foreign country. However, so novel a description of importation from the West Indies, for any purpose, is remarkable. The Cobden Tribute Fund now amounts to 74,3451. At the meeting of the committee on Tuesday, it was stated that a day or two ago Sir Charles Tempest, of Broughton-hall, Skipton, was in a s h op , w h en the proprietor, Mr. Agnew, said he would show the portrait of " a great man." This was Cobden; and Sir Charles admitted that he was indeed a great man, and said he was glad the country was doing something for him. He as willing, he said, to contribute his mite, and begged Mr. Agnew to accept a 50/. note for the fund, observing that Mr. Cobden had rendered great services to agricul ture. He (Sir Charles) was an agriculturist himself, but he did not care who knew his opinions. Mr. Cobden has left the Pyrenees for Spain. He would proceed in the first place to Madrid, where he intended to remain about a fortnight. He proposes, it is said, returning to the Pyrenees, and it is not improbable that he may after wards proceed to Italy. BIRMINGHAM, WEDNESDAY.—For some time past the want of a mechanical engineering institution having been greatly felt, it was suggested by a number of influ ential men in the profession, that an institution devoted to mechanical pursuits should be established. In accord ance with that suggestion this afternoon a meeting, con vened by circular, took place at the Queen's Hotel, to consider the expediency of forming a Mechanical Engineers' Association, with a view th e b e t ter to enable mechanics and engineers engaged in the different manu factories, railways, and other establishments in the kingdom, to meet and correspond, and by a mutual in terchange of ideas respecting improvements in the various branches of mechanical science, to increase their knowledge, and give an impulse to inventions likely to be useful to the world. Shortly after two o'clock Mr. M'Connell, superintendent of the locomotive department of the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, was called to the chair. Resolutions tending to carry out the object of the meeting were then unanimously carried, after which the company separated. AFFRAY WITH SMUGGLERS.-011 Tuesday after noon last a bailiff, in the employ of Mr. John Drew, of Wold Farm, West Haddingfield, on entering a rustic lodge, situate in the midst of the extensive plantations known as the Welthorpe Fells, discovered six nine gallon kegs filled with some description of liquor, stowed away in a corner of the building. The bailiff gave in formation to the police, and Sergeant Walters, of the local force, attended by a constable and an excise officer, accompanied th e b a iliff to the place indicated. On broaching the kegs, the exciseman pronounced the con tents to be foreign brandy, and, from the appearance of the kegs, no doubt existed of their having been smug gled. The constables and oofficer measures determined accordingly. their es watching the lodge, and to Towards midnight they heard a vehicle approaching, and shortly afterwards three me n en t ered t h e l odge and commenced carrying out the kegs , upon which Sergeant Walters and his two assistants rushed from their con cealment and endeavoured to capture the party. The smugglers attempted to escape, but the officers closed with them, and, after a sharp struggle, two of the men were secured, but the third escaped. During the strug gle the vehicle brought by the smugglers was driven off, and on entering the lodge after the affray, the officers, to their surprise, discovered that the whole of the kegs had been removed. An attempt was made to trace the vehicle without success. The captured men were examined yesterday by the district magistrate, and fully committed. One of the men is well known in the neighbourhood for his poaching propensities; the other is a strAnger. MARKET NEWS-(YESTEItDA" 'gay DIAVJECMTS.
